Rememberin Her on Eid ul Adha...U go Gurl!

She was the second wife to a man who was 86yrs old. After the birth of her son, her husband decided to bring her to a place far away from home. They walked for miles, on bare terrains under the desert sun and cold nights. Many a times she asked her beloved husband, where is he bringin her to, but he didn't utter a word. He did not even glance at her. They kept on walkin till they reach a no man's land, in the middle of nowhere where water is scarce and the land is infertile. Her husband decided to leave her and her baby there before headin back to his homeland again. But tis lady, with the company of just her baby, is content with her husband's doing. She didn't cling on to her husband and begged him to bring her elsewhere. She didn't mind her husband leavin her in a land that's bare. She took it all in her stride.

Is she a mad woman or what, u may ask? And what sort of man is husband? Irresponsible?

The answer is no, she's not mad or is her husband irresponsible. In fact he was a Messenger of God, Prophet Abraham (as). Leavin his wife in the desert of Mecca is a great test from God to both him and his wife, Siti Hajar (Hagar). Before he left her there, he actually did answer one of her question..."was tis an order from God?" and he replied "Yes". And to that, Hagar felt content and grateful, cos she knew that even if Abraham (as) left, God will be there to guide her and protect her. She bore no grudge against her husband, who soon after left for Palestine. Her life on the desert did not come easy in any way. SHe's got a baby to feed and had to look here and there for water. She kept faith and ran from one hill (Safa) to another (Marwah), not once but seven times, to look for water for her cryin baby. She can't find water, but the Merciful Lord, was indeed watchin over Hagar and her son, Ismail (Ishmael). He sent the angel Jibril (Gabriel) to provide them water, in a form of a spring (it's called the Zamzam). Her life evolved around the spring and some time later, a nomadic tribe found her and her baby and decided to reside with her. Years later, Abraham(as) came back to find her and built the Ka'bah, which is now visited yearly by millions of Muslims to perform their Hajj.

Can u juz imagine, a woman, all by herself in a desert with a baby fighting the extreme desert weather? Can u imagine how her heart breaks every time her child cries when he was hungry or thirsty and she cannot provide for him? Can u feel the desperation of a mother? Can u feel how much energy she spent and wasted? Can u feel her sore legs?? Pure respect and admiration is what i have for her!

Hagar's faith, patience and sacrifice is indeed exemplary for us. Though compared to her husband and her son, she hardly get much mention in the Quran but God honoured what she went through, to the extend that He made her runnings from one hill to another one of the crucial ritual in performing the Hajj.

How could u still whine and complain with all the luxury that u have right now ppl? Wake up, Praise God for all these blessings we indulge in, life's not that bad! Trust in God no matter what circumstances and situations we are in, remember tis story of Hagar. Let go the woes and bitterness of whatever tough shit that u r in, for u'll noe, if u keep ur pace and put total faith in God, things will eventually get better. Seek His help when u r troubled, and thank Him all the time for He is always watchin over us, offerin His merciful "hand" for those who reach out to Him. And remember,

"If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (alone) let believers put their trust" (Al-Baqarah:160)

*Blessed Eid ul Adha to all my fellow Muslims, and may u have a Haji Mabrur to those who performed the Hajj tis year*

No more What Ifs

The unimaginable has happened.
The "ridiculous" has occured.
The Wedding of Ayu & Adi.

Ayu dropped a bomb on all of us when she announced that she got engaged last month, December. She was single and available all the time, who the heck is she engaged to?! We had no idea who the fiance is, who tis Adi is. Even she herself dunno him, besides the fact that he attends the same religious class as she did. She then announced that she was gettin married to this someone in January! Shocked and appalled we were, upon hearin the news! Good God, what has overcome tis gurl? Gettin married to someone she noes zilch abt??? How could she? Is she out of her mind? So many what ifs occured in our minds....But she stood by her parents' will & put her trust in God to be married to tis fateful guy. And by faith, their holy matrimony took place on 15th Jan 05, much to our anxiety. For the first time we saw the mystery man, her man. He looks good, a good young man. Congratulations Ayu & Adi! U both make a handsome couple. May ur journey discovering and living life together, be Beautiful & Blissful :)

(makna: Sampaikanlah(pesanku) walau satu ayat).
Kerana itu, artikel di bawah ini ada di dalam ruang "entry". Sesungguhnya yg baik datang daripada Allah, yang buruk itu datang daripada Saofiah sendiri, tapislah yang keruh dan ambil lah yang jernih.

Wahai Muslimin dan Muslimat..BERINGATLAH!!
Hari qiamat sudah semakin hampir?.. tanda-tanda qiamat sudah
banyak berlaku, baik tanda-tanda kecil mahupun yang besar. Tetapi masih ramai dikalangan kita umat Islam masih tidak sedar. Ini tidak lain kerana kita sudah meninggalkan al-Quran dan sunnah Nabi Muhammad SAW. Yg dilihat hanyalah rukun Islam yg 5 dan rukun Iman yg 6?.tidak lebih daripada itu.

Wahai Muslimin Muslimat!!
Sudahkah kalian membaca akhbar pada hari ini?! Sudahkah kalian
melihat berita perdana semalam & hari ini (baik apa jua salurannya)?
Tidak takutkah kalian dengan apa yang sedang berlaku?? Sepatutnya kita sebagai Muslim tidak harus terkejut dengan apa yang berlaku kerana Rasulullah SAW telah pun memberitahu kpd kita secara detail apa yang nak berlaku diakhir zaman sebelum hari qiamat?. Cuma kita yang tak mahu membaca hadis-hadisnya.

Bacalah hadis-hadis Nabi yang telah disampaikan lebih 1400 tahun
ini dan buatlah persiapan untuknya? JANGAN TUNGGU LAGI. AJAL DATANG SEKELIP MATA. Sabda Rasulullah SAW:
"Sesungguhnya ada sebahagian daripada umatku yang akan meminum arak dan mereka menamakannya dengan nama yang lain(bukan arak). (Mereka meminumnya) sambil dialunkan dengan bunyi muzik dan suara artis-artis. Allah SWT akan menenggelamkan mereka ke dalam bumi (dengan gempa bumi) dan akan menjadikan
mereka seperti kera dan babi (setelah mati)". (Hadis Riwayat Ibnu
Majjah)

Drpd Anas bin Malik ra, Rasulullah SAW bersabda:"Sesungguhnya di antara tanda-tanda telah hampirnya hari Qiamat itu, berlaku banyak kematian manusia secara mendadak" (Hadis riwayat
Thabrani)

Drpd Abu Hurairah ra, Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Tidak akan datang hari qiamat sehinggalah berlakunya banyak gempa bumi"
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari) Rasulullah SAW bersabda:"Sebelum berlakunya hari qiamat, akan terdapatnya kematian yang
amat menakutkan dan kemudian dari itu berlakulah tahun-tahun gempa bumi" (Hadis riwayat Ahmad)

Daripada Ali bin Abi Thalib ra, Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Apabila umatku telah membuat 15 perkara, maka BALA pasti akan turun
kepada mereka, iaitu:
1. Apabila harta negara hanya beredar di kalangan orang tertentu
sahaja
2. Apabila amanah dijadikan suatu sumber keuntungan
3. Zakat dijadikan hutang
4. Suami menurut kehendak isteri (dalam perkara bertentangan
syariat)
5. Anak derhaka terhadap ibunya
6. Akan tetapi (anak tadi) sangat baik terhadap kawan-kawannya.
7. Ia (anak) suka menjauhkan diri daripada ayahnya
8. Suara sudah ditinggikan di dalam masjid.
9. Yang menjadi ketua sesuatu kaum adalah orang yang paling hina
di antara mereka.
10. Seseorang dimuliakan kerana ditakuti kejahatannya.
11. Arak sudah diminum secara berleluasa.
12. Kain sutera banyak dipakai (oleh kaum lelaki)
13. Para artis-artis disanjung-sanjung.
14. Muzik banyak dimainkan/didendangkan.
15. Generasi akhir umat ini akan melaknat generasi pertama (para
sahabat terdahulu).

Maka pada ketika itu hendaklah mereka menanti angin merah atau
GEMPA BUMI ataupun mereka akan dirubah menjadi makhluk lain" (Hadis Riwayat At-Tirmidzi)

Wahai Muslimin Muslimat! APA LAGI YG ANDA TUNGGU??!!
BERINGATLAH!! KEMBALILAH KEPADA ISLAM?.JANGAN LAGI NAK BERDOLAK-DALIH! Janganlah kalian SOMBONG & EGO terhadap ALLAH!! Sedarlah diri kalian!! Adakah kalian ingin menunggu maut datang di hadapan anda baru nak bertaubat?? Sampai bilakah anda nak TUNGGU & TUNGGU, NANTI & NANTI,TANGGUH & TANGGUH untuk berubah dan membuat persediaan diri?? Adakah anda tahu bila anda akan MATI?? Adakah anda boleh jamin yg anda akan hidup Sehingga ke akhir hari ini??

Kalian yang tidak solat, TUNAIKANLAH SOLAT. Kalian yang tidak menutup aurat, atau menutup sebahagian tetapi membuka sebahagian yang lain, atau yang memakai baju nampak pusat, seluar
dalam, baju dalam (laknat Allah dan RasulNya ke atas mereka),
BERTAUBATLAH!!
TUTUPLAH AURATMU DENGAN SEMPURNA!!
HENTIKANLAH SEGALA BENTUK MAKSIAT!!

Hentikanlah mendengar muzik-muzik yang melalaikan!! Tunaikanlah zakat dan haji bagi yang berkemampuan. Tunaikanlah kewajipan kalian sebagai MUSLIM & PENDAKWAH?apa yang Kalian
dah buat??

Di manakah AKHLAK & ADAB ANDA SEBAGAI MUSLIM? Mengaku saja diri kalian sebagai Muslim?.memang muka tak malu!!

Bagi para muslimin? Di manakah solat berjemaah anda di
masjid-masjid, surau-surau & rumah-rumah?.adakah kalian masih terus nak jadi muslim yang tak guna & mementingkan diri sendiri??

Bagi para suami, para bapa, para isteri, para ibu? Didiklah
anak-anak kalian!! kalian diberi amanah untuk menjaga dan mendidik, bukan sekadar membuat & menternak anak-anak!! jadikanlah mereka sebagai anak yang soleh & solehah. pada masa yang sama, kalian juga wajib menunjukkan contoh pada mereka sebagai muslim, bukan sekadar menghantar mereka ke sekolah
agama.

Amalkanlah ISLAM 100%, bermula dari rumah. [36.11] Sesungguhnya peringatan dan amaran (yang berkesan dan Mendatangkan faedah) hanyalah yang engkau berikan kepada orang yang sedia menurut Ajaran Al-Quran serta ia takut (melanggar perintah Allah) Ar-Rahman semasa ia tidak dilihat orang dan semasa ia tidak melihat azab Tuhan. Oleh itu berilah kepadanya berita yang mengembirakan dengan keampunan dan pahala yang mulia.

EQ: Roadblock Ahead

Your EQ is

120 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Hey! WHat's meant by Roadblocks tend to land me on my Butt?? *scratches head*
