Work - Life Balance

Life contains many mysteries
Mysteries that can either drag us down or bring us up
It depends on how the perception that we  see that

There was a saying:

"If you want to see is it white or black, throw away your early perception"

Cheer up, use your life to spurs you on, don't be defeated by a few low downs and problems.

A warrior is not someone who become easily succesful, but those who faces many failures and always get up again through those failures

We are Muslim

We are Muslim
Either we are born a Muslim
Or we chose to become Muslim
We are chosen to be
The follower of truth
The follower of Deen
The follower of Rasulullah

We are Muslim
Nothing proud should be seen in other religion
Happiness is not only about materials
Many celebrities killed themselves even they were rich
Happiness is not only about freedom
Many people felt trapped even though they are free
Muslim is about faith
In Allah, Rasulullah,  Al Quran, Hadith dan syariah teaching
Be proud of what we are
Not being proud of others faith of lifestyle

We are Muslim
May we be blessed everyday by Allah swt
The One and Only God
Now and hereafter

Teh Tarik Teh Ais

Malaysia is a unique and special country, and this can be seen in many aspects such as the peoples' hospitality, the weather, the nature, the food and drinks and many more.

Today I will talk about one of Malaysian favourite drinks, loves by Malaysian from all generations and ethnics, that is Tea or simply 'teh'.

Unlike the British people, majority of Malaysian love to drinks tea in two types, Teh Tarik (Hot tea with milk) or Teh Ais (Ice Milk tea).

In whichever situation or time, morning, afternoon, evening or supper, teh tarik or teh ais will be the ultimate choice. In any situation, bussiness discussion, loitering or lepak with friends, these two tea will be drank by Malaysian from all sorts of life.

If you happen to travel to Malaysia ( wether for long term or just short stopping trip) don't forget to taste this two tea made famous in Malaysia.

Who does not love them?

WHY MUSLIMS PERFORMS 5 PRAYERS A DAY?

credit: google.com

“What did Muslims actually do in mosque during prayer times? Did they sing? Did they hold a choir memorial? Did they read books or oath loudly? Did they knee to a statue as their God?” These are question asked by Michael Smith, an architect from United Kingdom when he suddenly come across Muslims going to pray in a mosque during evening (Asr prayer) and that mosque happen to be opposite of his newly opened office in the middle of the town. The truth is Michael always believe the media, he believe that these Muslims are training to become a terrorists in mosque, and the prayer time and prayer calls (athan) are training siren.

“Well Michael, you know as they say, seeing believes. I will take you to the mosque” replied Mehmet, a Britton of Turkish origin who is a Muslim himself, who happens to be his co-partner at the office.

“Actually I want to ask these questions long time ago since my studies day but there’s no one for me to ask for, and since I knew you are a Muslim also I hope you can brief me about this” said Michael unsatisfied with Mehmet answer.

Realising Michael really seeks the answer, Mehmet replied: “Well mate, like I said, seeingbelieves. I don’t want to answer to you; I want to take you to the mosque to see it and experience it for yourself. Let’s go!!” Then Mehmet take Michael to the mosque opposite their office. There for the first time Michael see, watch and even try to learn the movement of Muslim prayer. He saw Muslims from all sorts of background, rich, poor, tall, short, fat, skinny, white skin or black skin, Asian, European, African, all line up together, doing prayer together. That action fell to his heart. And from that day although not a Muslim, Michael learns to respect and appreciate Muslims prayer

The main point here is non-Muslims they want to know what Muslims are doing during our congregation, praying time. Muslims should invite non-Muslims friend to come to the mosque and watch how the Muslims pray. It is not a sin inviting non-Muslims to church, and it had been practiced by Rasulullah SAW before. We should promote Islam by showing to our non-Muslims friend the true reality of our religion, not just by hiding or scared to tell them.

PROPHETS : THE MESSENGERS OF ALLAH TO PROMOTE ISLAM

Credit pictures: Google

How do we explain to people about Prophets, Nabi and Rasul?

Muslims believe in Nabi and Rasul as the messengers of Allah to promote and teach Islam to human

There are 5 Ulu al-Azmi Rasul (Those who had been test with the highest test of faith and their live), 25 Rasul that Muslims must believe of their existences as messenger of Allah, and there are also around (approximately 24,000 other Rasul and approximately 313,000 Nabi that Allah SWT kept secret from us Muslims doing their job to preach Islam. 

Who are the 25 Rasul we Muslims must believe? Below are their names:

And futhermore, Muslims do BELIEVE in JESUS !!

Maybe we Muslims believe in JESUS more than Christians do..

The simple analogies are like this:

After a Muslim Professor had just finished his talk about Islam in an open seminar, when suddenly a student raises his hand and start asking question. This student is a loyal and pious Catholic student who came just to listen to the talk and confuse people about Islam. So his question sounds devilish to some of the listener.

“Professor, may I ask?” asked this student.

“Please, ask what may had confused you” said the Professor politely.

“Than you sir”, he take a deep breath, and continue his talking, “You said earlier in your speech that Muslims believe in God, in Prophets, but why do I heard that Muslim doesn’t approve Jesus? Doesn’t this belief contradict with what you said about Muslims?” he finished his question with a loud clapping from the audience.

“Aah!!! Jesus Christ, the man of attention” replied the Professor shortly. “Ok, about Jesus Christ. I will explain to you and all audience what the Muslim really thought of him” Said the Professor. And he continued: “All Muslim approve and know Jesus Christ. One who doesn’t approve of Jesus Christ is not a complete Muslim in belief.”

“What, really Professor? How can you say that?” said the student, realizing that he is now the one getting confusedinstead of trying to confuse everyone else.

“Yes, true...really true. A Muslim is one who has to believe in all prophets sent by Allah to educate and teach people of Islam, from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Job, Jesus, to Muhammad. And all of these prophets are messenger of Allah, not to be worship or anything. So these prophets include Jesus Christ also. We Muslim believe in Jesus as the Messenger of Allah only and not the God’s son or God like the Christian believe.” explained the Professor.

This statement shocked the student. Never before in his entire life, had he heard that Muslims ever believe in Jesus, not that what he was taught in school or church. That opens up his heart and mind to learn more about Islam, this time not from Christian or Father, but from Muslim.

Rasulullah SAW the Greatest Leader

Recently reading Muhammad  Stories From Early Source written by Martin Lings. (Picture below). Surprisingly for me I found some facts and information that I did not found (yet) in other books.

What surprise me is that this book combined well facts and stories with other seerah books (Sirah Ibnu Hisham, Raheeq Makhtum - The sealed Nectar, Collection of Hadith Sahih Bukhari and Muslim).

This books tell seerah Rasulullah from a good narrative side, easy to understand and bring us together in the life of Rasulullah SAW and his companions, since from the early life 'till, the startig of Prophethood, the struggles and jihad 'till Allah called for him to Jannah.

This book is a different type of seerah books unlike Fiqh Sirah by Mustafa Sibaie or In The Footstep of Muhammad by Tariq Ramadan. But reading different books give us different knowledge and understanding.

May Allah guide us all to follow the path and teaching of Prophet Muhammad and meet Him in Jannah. Ameen...

Teaching For Afterlife

Alhamdulillah for all the blessing and nī'māh Allah has given upon Muslims, upon me. I pray for Allah rāhmāh and bārākaāh : for my life, my family and everyone Muslim all over the world.

The Quran and Iqra' class that started by my wife and continued until now is ONE YEARS OLD. We (me and my wife) had planned tp teach and guidance for young Muslim children in Taman Anggerik Nilai so that they can know, learn, read, and love to recite al-Quran.

Alhamdulillah this is a good idea and as our breakthrough to the afterlife ( yaumu al- ākhïrāh). This is mainly our investment to the Muslim people, the least we can do. Hopefully we can get Allah's belssing and following what Rasulullah SAW said;

خيركم من تعلم القران وعلمه
Meaning:
"And the best of you is those who learn al-Quran and those who teach (people) to learn it"

Allahumustaan...

Preparing to Make Life Easier

Life can be difficult. True, no doubt about that. But what can be more difficult is no preparing to face the life. You cannot just run away from everything. Instead, face the problem and be successful.
"Life can be a war" muttered a street buskers. Yeah right. A war we should always win.

From school days till working years, we are taught by our parents to compete, edge out others, be a winner. So no doubt life is easy since the beginning.

What can make our life easy?or easier than others? It is the will to compete and pray for Allah. Have faith in Allah, cause He is the One who create us, human being and all things in the universe, and only he can make things easier to us.

Big Bad Flood

Last month was maybe the worst months of the year... Half of Malaysia was seriously hit by flood !!!

Imagine a big city like Kota Bharu, the main hometown of Kelantan was halfly sunmerged underwater.. Villages drown in fast, moving water, 4 storey school was left with only the top storey no touched by water, with all other storeys underwater. Imagine that !!!

After about 122,000 ++ people were transfered to evacuation places, after hundreds of houses and cars damaged, drown and swept by strong current of water, Alhamdulillah praise be to Allah the flood tragedy is over.   For now..

People starts to return to their home, cleaning their mud-splashed houses, repairing cars and belongings drown underwater, helps came from the whole nation for the flood victims...

Hopefully this is only the beginning of a new life in a new year,.2015 !!

Success is Hard and Smart Work

Success, is done through hard work and smart planning. No success come before doing hard work. If you think success is cheap and easy, think again mate!!!

Come on mate, lets go and make this world better through our successful effort

Life is short, make it very useful to us

Assalamualaikum for all, how are you doing?

Friends and family,

Lets not forget the main purpose of our existance, is it to gather money?is it to gather fame and fortune?Noooo !!!!

Our main purpose of life is to pray to Allah and adhere to His command and teaching

May Allah swt guide us all from being astray

Amen.

Traffic Jam, anyone?

Traffic Jam, a normal scenery, must-faced everyday thing for every city dwellers, those who live in the city, work or study in the city

This "occasion" didn't happen in KL only, but also other big city. New York, London, Moscow, Singapore, Bangkok, Manila and others also became witness to traffic jams.

Usually traffoc jams occurs heavily during morning rush, when people started to go to work, and also during evening when people returned home from work. Can be said the same during festives season, Deepavali, Thaipusam, Chinese New Year, Hari Wesak, Hari.Gawai, Hari Raya Puasa or Hari Raya Korban to name a few.

So if you happened or planned to live, study and work in a city, brace youself to face this on daily basis.
