fasting? what is that? OOhhh ramadhan..

Pat : waahh! 20 hours without no drinks and foods? that is very torturing.
Hidayah : err... not really actually.
Pat : it is not fair, you'll be fasting 20 hours while your family in Malaysia only 12 hours.

Hidayah : not really..
Pat : so tell me why?

ngeh ngeh.. yes yes~ the time has come.. i like other people asking ..wHyyy??

Hidayah : actually it is fine to fast 20 hours here.. even summer, the weather is not as hot in Malaysia..

Pat : oh.. But..but .. This is ridiculous! during winter.. you break your fast earlier..
Hidayah : Because God really understand human, during winter it is very cold..can you imagine the starvation if we have to fast 20 hours during winter?

Pat : right.. How about people in the poles? should them fast all year and only break it's fast once in a year
Hidayah : Well.. fasting is compulsory during Ramadhan.. and it only take 30 days.. in cases like poles, they will have to fast according to the time of their prayers like usual.

Pat : what do you mean by prayers? you mean, you have to fast.. and also pray? why cant you do either? you've been praying trough out the years..should have one month off during ramadhan.
Hidayah : actually our fast,prayers all are for the beneficial of ourselves.. it gives strength and guides us in this harsh life. we depend on God every second and every minute.

Pat : 5 prayers are just too many.
Hidayah : our prayers has its own time which is dawn,noon,late noon,evening and night.. a prayer only takes about 5 minutes.. 5x5 = 25 minutes out of 24 hours..does it sound many to you?

Pat : What about the poles? they don't have days like us.
Hidayah : For places like the poles, they still have to pray 5 times by measuring the hours stated by our scholars.

Pat : It sounds fair.At what time do you start fasting?
Hidayah : from dawn until late noon. approximately until the sun sets down.

Pat : That's a relief..you will get to eat during the night though..
Hidayah : Actually it helps to service the digestion system in our body, maintain the diet and the most important to feel the hunger that so many people out there suffers everyday. being grateful.

Pat : Alright then.. happy ramadhan.. you explains well to me.
Hidayah : No problem.. would you mind if i ask you a question regarding Buddha?

And the conversation continues... as we share our thoughts.. get real and ask real people :-)

dunia ini sementara sahaja, senyumlah :-)

kerana kemarahan kita, sedunia kita burukkan..

kerana rasa ketidak adilan, segalanya2 kita salahkan..

kerana kesedihan , kita pejam mata pada nikmat lain..

kerana terlalu cintakan , semuanya kita korbankan..

Begitu sombong merintih sana sini.. langsung berbangga dengan kejahatan.. langsung tidak malu menjadi hamba yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

tapi jangan risau, dunia dan seluruh isi ini hanya sementara untuk diuji keimanan kita... matlamat chapter2 life ni semua ni hanya sementara.. apalah sangat dunia ini.. sudah - sudahlah..

i've done a huge mistake.if only i could turn back time..

astaghfirullahalazim.

as human, everybody do mistakes in their life.. big..small..purpose.. not in purpose..

but the most important is our choice and decision after realizing, oh, it was a mistake..

some people take responsibility of their mistake.

some people escape from the mistake as if nothing ever happen.

and from my opinion..both are right..it depends on the mistake that you've done..

if it just involving ourself and God, be repentance.

BUT.. if it involves other people, we MUST ask forgiveness from the person and take responsibility on everything impacted from our mistake.

“Sesiapa yang ada padanya kezaliman terhadap saudaranya (muslim yang lain); seperti terhadap maruah dan selainnya, mintalah halal pada hari ini sebelum tiba waktu yang tiada dinar dan dirham (tiada harta iaitu pada Hari Kiamat). Sekiranya baginya kebaikan (amalan soleh) maka akan diambil darinya dengan kadar kezalimannya. Jika tiada baginya kebaikan, maka akan diambil dosa orang yang dizalimi lalu ditanggung ke atasnya” (Riwayat al-Bukhari).

The choice and decision that we will choose, must be referred to the Quran and Sunnah.. mesyuwarah with the right 'alima.. even if we are knowledgeable or hafiz al-Quran, it does not make us safe from the shaitan's incitement .. ask Allah to guide us and show us the true decision..

Don't be selfish.. Allah knows what is it in our heart... and if it is not good for us, Allah will never permits it to happen..

we can try as much to hide.. escape.. and lie to everyone in this whole life covering our mistake.. or even force other people to take responsibility of our mistake.

BUT always remember.. Allah is watching and all our irresponsible action will not safe us from the du'a by the people we have suffered..

“Takutlah kamu doa orang yang dizalimi, sesungguh antaranya dengan Allah tiada sebarang hijab (penghalang)” (Riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim)"

Tiada siapa antara kita yang dapat menyelamatkan dirinya dari hukuman Tuhan. Seseorang mungkin telah melupai orang yang dizaliminya, atau si mangsa juga mungkin terlupa, atau pergi menemui Ilahi terlebih dahulu. Namun doanya tetap hidup. Akan ada waktu, ia tetap datang bertandang dalam kehidupan si zalim; meragut kebahagiaannya, ketenteraman hidupnya dan mencampakkan derita dalam pelbagai warna dan rupa. Mungkin si zalim ketika itu terpinga dan bertanya ‘apakah salah saya?’. Dia terlupa bahawa Tuhan tidak lupa atas kezalimannya, di dunia dan akhirat sana. -drmaza-

standard style of forgiving.......Forgive by trying as much as you can to forget the mistakes done..some people they choose to forget the people, it will be easier rather than forgetting their mistakes..

But for me, give forgiveness as much as you want people to forgive you..as much as you want Allah to forgive your sins. Pray Allah will make you forget it as it is easy for Him because our heart belong to Him.

don't judge a book by its cover..

What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me

My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity...

My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see...
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
All I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?

sami yusof : free

Don't judge.. it is not easy.. have you ever once in your life, did not judge other people? think again..

when you say to other people..don't judge me.. indirectly you are actually judging the person for judging you ..

once you see a person weakness, shut your mouth and think of yourself? have you been so great? did you ever not commit any sin?

think of how many heart you have been hurting for all the while just by thinking of yourself too much..

example : we went to a restaurant, we said loudly " this food is terrible" .. we get one point for being an ungrateful worshiper.. one point for being disrespect to the owner of the restaurant.. by means we can always say it directly to the chef or cashier and ask for refund.. what is the big deal?

the option and decision that you take represent who you are... everyone likes judging other people.. that's insaniah.. so don't blame others to judge you.. when you stop judging other people, you will have no time to think about people judging you.

LUPAKAN..

terkadang niat kita baik.. tetapi orang tetap akan terasa.. oleh kerana itu .. Ya Allah, Engkau lupakanlah kekuranganku pada pandangan manusia.. sungguh aku tidak bermaksud yang sedemikian.. Hanya Engkau yang memahami kelemahanku..
