~ The easist Method to complete reading Qur’an every month

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Complete the reading of the Qur’an every month”
[Aboo Daawood, The Book Of Prayer, Hadeeth 1389]

The easist Method to complete reading Qur’an every month:

✦ Go approx. 10 minutes early to the Masjid for the obligatory prayer

✦ Read 2 pages/4 sides (before the prayer).

✦ During the day, it would amount to 10 pages/20 sides (a complete Juz’).

You can complete the Qur’an every month easily.

Reminder for me!!

~ Three stages of Life..

~ Put the Glass Down

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see and asked the students, ‘How much do you think this glass weighs?’

’50 grams!’…. ’100 grams!’…… ’125 grams’ …… the students answered.

‘I really don’t know unless I weigh it,’ said the professor, ‘but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?’

‘Nothing’ the students said.

‘Ok! What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?’ the professor asked.

‘Your arm would begin to ache’, said one of the students.

‘You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?’

‘Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress and paralysis and have to go to hospital for sure!’ ventured another student; and all the students laughed.

‘Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?’ asked the professor.

‘No’

‘Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle stress?’ The students were puzzled.

‘Put the glass down!’ said one of the students.

‘Exactly!’ said the professor. ‘Life’s problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem okay. Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache. Hold it even longer and they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything’.

‘It’s important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to have trust in Allah (swt) and to ‘put them down’ at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and strong and can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!’

So at the end of the day, remember to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN’ and put trust in Almighty Allah SWT.

Holy Quran: “He it is who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers that they might have more faith added to their faith”. (48:4) Tranquillity is the sign of strong faith while worries and stress is the sign of weak faith.

Tell your mind every day before you go to sleep: “Yaa Ayyatuhan Nafsul Mutma-innah, Irji’ee iLaa Rabbiki Raadhiyatam Mardhiyyah, Fadhkhulee Fee Ibaadee Wadhkhulee Jannatee” (Al-Fajr 89:27-30)

“O soul that is at rest satisfied. Return to your Lord well-pleased (with Him), well-pleasing (Him). So, enter among My servants, and enter into my Paradise”

Success of a Farmer.. =)

There was a farmer who grew superior quality, award-winning corn in his farm. Each year, he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honours and prizes.One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew his corn. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours.

“How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering corn in the competition with yours each year?” The reporter asked. “Why bother ? ”

The farmer replied, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen grains from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I have to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours to grow good corn too.”

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbours’ corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions and areas of life!Those who choose to be in harmony must help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others live well too. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches…

Success does not happen in isolation; it is most often a participatory and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas and new knowledge with your family, friends, team members and neighbours and all. As they say: “Success breeds Success.”

Abdullah ibn Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The best friend in the Sight of Allah is he who is the well-wisher of his companions, and the best neighbour is one who behaves best towards his neighbours. (Tirmidhi)

Allah awaits you..

“Most people don’t pray until they’re in trouble. When people need help they pray a lot. But after they get what they want, they slow down. If a man takes five showers a day, his body will be clean. Praying five times a day helps me clean my mind.”

A Story ~ Pencil & Eraser

^_^

Daddy - Can I have $10?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.

“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”

“That’s none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.

“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.

“If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour.”

“Oh, ” the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?”

The father was furious. “If the only reason you want to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you’re being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don’t have time for such childish games.”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy’s questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so , the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. May be there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep son?” he asked.

“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here’s that $10.00 you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, beaming. “Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.

“Why did you want more money if you already had some?” the father grumbled.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.

“Daddy, I have $20.00 now… Can I buy an hour of your time?”

~ Untuk mendapatkan kekhusyukan dalam solat..

“DUNIA sebagai ALAT, AKHIRAT sebagai MATLAMAT”

Beberapa tahun dahulu, ada seorang Imam yang berasal dari Thailand telah dipanggil ke Malaysia untuk menjadi Imam tetap di sebuah masjid di Malaysia. Telah menjadi kebiasaan Imam tersebut selalu menaiki bas untuk pergi ke masjid. Pada suatu hari, selepas Imam tersebut membayar tambang dan duduk di dalam bas, dia tersedar yang pemandu bas tersebut telah memulangkan wang baki yang lebih daripada yang sepatutnya sebanyak 20 sen. Sepanjang perjalanan Imam tersebut memikirkan tentang wang 20 sen tersebut. “Perlukah aku memulangkan 20 sen ni?”, Imam tersebut bertanya kepada dirinya. “Ah… syarikat bas ni dah kaya… setakat 20 sen ni.. nak beli tosei pun tak cukup”, kata Imam tersebut. Apabila tiba di hadapan masjid, Imam tersebut menekan loceng dan bas tersebut pun berhenti. 

Ketika Imam tersebut ingin turun sahaja daripada bas, tiba-tiba seakan-akan dirinya secara automatik berhenti dan berpaling ke arah pemandu bas tersebut sambil memulangkan wang 20 sen tersebut. “Tadi kamu beri saya wang baki terlebih 20 sen”, kata Imam tersebut kepada pemandu bas tersebut. “Owh… terima kasih! Kenapa awak pulangkan 20 sen ni.. kan sedikit je nilainya”, pemandu bas tersebut berkata. Imam tersebut menjawab, “Wang tersebut bukan milik saya, sebagai seorang muslim saya wajib berlaku jujur”. Pemandu bas tersebut tersenyum, dan berkata, “Sebenarnya saya sengaja memberi wang baki yang lebih sebanyak 20 sen ni, saya nak uji kejujuran kamu wahai Imam. Saya sudah berkali-kali berfikir untuk memeluk Islam”. 

Imam tersebut turun dari bas dan seluruh jasadnya menggigil dan kesejukan. Imam tersebut berdoa sambil menadah tangan, “Astaghfirullah!!!, Ampunkan daku Ya Allah… Aku hampir-hampir menjual harga sebuah Iman dengan 20 sen!!!. Sahabatku… Apa yang anda dapat daripada peristiwa di atas? Ingatlah.. kita mungkin tidak melihat dan tahu kesan tindakan kita terhadap orang lain. Kadang-kadang manusia akan menganggap kita sebagai tingkap untuk melihat ke dalam dunia Islam… Sesungguhnya pada diri Rasulullah s.a.w. itu terdapat contoh teladan yang baik. “DUNIA sebagai ALAT, AKHIRAT sebagai MATLAMAT”
