Beauty of Islam

Beauty of Islam

I must admit that my knowledge of Islam is very minimal and I have no credential nor authority to preach Islam. But I have my right to praise the beauty of the Religion. To some of the non-Muslims, they may relate Islam with terrorism due to the propaganda of the west. Unfortunately in Malaysia the image of Islam too had been damaged lately because of politics. The major ruling party, in their bid to regain back the trust which had been eroded during the last general election had tried to play on the emotion of the muslim population. This can be seen in the case of a non-Muslim lawmaker entering the mosque, the mention

The Eyes never Lie

The Eye

The eyes will only tell you what it sees. Nothing more than that. And what you see may not be what you think it is. One thing for sure the eyes never lie. It is you that make the decision and a hasty decion may be very costly.

I give you an example of a hasty decision. You may think that the eye deceive you. Actually the eye did not deceive you.

Mr. Brain - The Doctor

Mr. Brain - The Doctor

It is said that the most intelligent person only uses 14% of the brain. So what about the rest of us. How much percentage of the brain did we use? And what about the balance of the 86% or so of the brain? Come to think about it, we also only use a very few percentage of the computer.

Well, forget about the balance. We better concentrate on the power of the brain and its ability tu cure our very own deseases, be it a simple headache or even cancer. Actually the brain can cure sickness. However we must have the WILL and the BELIEVE to make it effective. If we are able to do this, then we can safely say that we are using the additional percentage of the brain.

To some people I may be talking nonsense. But then there is no harm done in reading this article.

Story: Apples or a few bucks

The nuns ran an orphanage, and one day the Mother Superior summoned to her office three buxom girls who were leaving and said:

"Now, you are all going into the big sinful world and I must warn you against certain men. These are men who will buy you drinks, take you to a room, undress you and do unspeakable things to you. Then they give you a few dollars, and you're sent away, ruined!"

"Excuse me, Reverend Mother," said the boldest one, "did you say these wicked men do this to us and give us a few dollars too?"

"Yes, dear child. Why do you ask?"

"Well. the priests only give us apples."

"Bagaimana wudhu' zahir dan batin?"

Seorang ahli ibadah bernama Isam Bin Yusuf, sangat warak dan khusyuk solatnya. Namun, dia selalu khuatir kalau-kalau ibadahnya kurang khusyuk dan selalu bertanya kepada orang yang dianggapnya lebih ibadahnya, demi untuk memperbaiki dirinya yang selalu dirasainya kurang khusyuk.

Pada suatu hari, Isam menghadiri majlis seorang abid bernama Hatim al-Assam dan bertanya, "Wahai Aba Abdurrahman, bagaimanakah caranya tuan solat?"

Hatim berkata, "Apabila masuk waktu solat, aku berwudhu' zahir dan batin." Isam bertanya, "Bagaimana wudhu' zahir dan batin itu?"

Hatim berkata, "Wudhu' zahir sebagaimana biasa iaitu membasuh semua anggota wudhu' dengan air".
Sementara wudhu' batin ialah membasuh anggota dengan tujuh perkara :

• Bertaubat
• Menyesali dosa yang telah dilakukan
• Tidak tergila-gilakan dunia
• Tidak mencari/mengharap pujian orang (riya')
• Tinggalkan sifat berbangga
• Tinggalkan sifat khianat dan menipu
• Meninggalkan sifat dengki

Seterusnya Hatim berkata, "Kemudian aku pergi ke masjid, aku kemaskan semua anggotaku dan menghadap kiblat.

Aku berdiri dengan penuh kewaspadaan dan aku rasakan:

1. aku sedang berhadapan dengan Allah,
2. Syurga di sebelah kananku,
3. Neraka di sebelah kiriku,
4. Malaikat Maut berada di belakangku, dan
5. aku bayangkan pula aku seolah-olah berdiri di atas titian 'Siratal mustaqim' dan menganggap bahawa solatku kali ini adalah solat terakhir bagiku, kemudian aku berniat dan bertakbir dengan baik."

"Setiap bacaan dan doa didalam solat, aku faham maknanya kemudian aku rukuk dan sujud dengan tawadhuk, aku bertasyahud dengan penuh pengharapan dan aku memberi salam dengan ikhlas. Beginilah aku bersolat selama 30 tahun."

Apabila Isam mendengar, menangislah dia kerana membayangkan ibadahnya yang kurang baik bila dibandingkan dengan Hatim.
