An Nawawi 40 Hadiths (9)

On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : I heard the Messenger of Allah(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say :

"What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. It was only their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their prophets that destroyed those who were before you."

An Nawawi 40 Hadiths (8)

On the authority of the son of Omar[1] narrated that the Messenger of Allah(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"I have been ordered to fight[2] against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah and until they perform the prayers and pay the Zakat[3], and if they do so they will have gained protection from me for their lives[4] and property, unless [they do acts that are punishable] in accordance with Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah the Almighty."

Related by Bukhari and Muslim.
[1] See note [1] to Hadith 2. / [2] Islam advocates that conversion be by conviction. The Holy Qur'an says: "No compulsion in religion", and in another passage the Almigty says: "Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way". The waging of war is enjoined against certain categories of persons such as those who attack a Muslim country, those who prevent the preaching and spread of Islam by peaceful means, and apostates. / [3] See note [2] to Hadith 2. / [4] Lit. "their blood".

* KECINTAAN merupakan elemen yang paling penting sekali dalam sesebuah persahabatan. Ikatan sesebuah persahabatan akan mudah rapuh jika tiadanya kecintaan antara dua insan yang disandarkan kepada Si Pemilik cinta itu sendiri. Sebab itu, kadang-kadang perlunya kita meluahkan rasa cinta kita terhadap sahabat kita dengan mengungkap, "uhibbuka/i fillah" (bagi sahabat-sahabat yang sama jantina sahaja) agar mereka tahu betapa cintanya kita terhadap mereka, kerana Allah (insyaAllah).

* KASIH SAYANG lebih kurang sama sahaja maksudnya dengan kecintaan. Namun, setelah kita mencintai sahabat kita, perlunya kita curahkan segala kasih sayang kita terhadap mereka. Tetapi, kadangkala kasih sayang tidak perlu dipamerkan secara luaran. Cukuplah sekadar kita mendoakan untuk sahabat-sahabat kita, insyaAllah, itu sudah cukup membuktikan betapa sayangnya kita terhadap mereka.
* KEIKHLASAN dapat menjamin sesebuah persahabatan mendapat keberkatan dan rahmat daripada Illahi. Tidak ikhlas ketika bersahabat dengan seseorang akan mengundang permusuhan antara sahabat. Bersahabatlah dengan seseorang kerana keluhuran hati budinya, bukan kerana rupa, pangkat atau harta yang dimilikinya.
* KESETIAAN terhadap seseorang sahabat mampu memanjangkan tali persahabatan walaupun
jarang bertemu. Apabila kita setia terhadap kita, kita akan diingati oleh mereka sehingga akhir hayat mereka, kerana tidak kira susah atau senang, kita setia berada di sisinya memberi sokongan, insyaAllah.
* KEBERANIAN dalam berkata benar. Dalam persahabatan juga, kita hendaklah berani apabila ingin mengatakan sesuatu. Lebih-lebih lagi jika kita telah melakukan sesuatu yang menyakiti hatinya, kita kena berani mengaku padanya atas kesilapan yang dilakukan. Selain itu, berani juga dalam menasihati sahabat kita. kerana sebagai sahabat, kita mesti mahukan yang terbaik untuk mereka kan?

* KEJUJURAN juga perlu dalam persahabatan. Jangan sesekali menipu atau menyembunyikan apa-apa daripada pengetahuan sahabat kita. Mereka juga perlu tahu apa yang kita lalui dalam kehidupan kita. Jangan berahsia, melainkan pada perkara yang benar-benar perlu dirahsiakan

* KEMAAFAN. Sekiranya sahabat kita pernah melakukan sebarang kesilapan, bersedialah untuk memaafkannya, tidak kira sebesar manapun kesalahan mereka terhadap kita kerana sahabat yang baik adalah sahabat yang bersedia untuk memaafkan sahabatnya. Jika kita yang bersalah, janganlah malu untuk meminta maaf daripada mereka kerana orang yang dahulu meminta maaf adalah orang yang hebat.
* KESEDIHAN. Apabila kita sedar bahawa sahabat kita sedang bersedih, maka, ikutlah sedih bersama-sama dengan mereka. Tawarkanlah bahu kita untuk dijadikan tadahan air mata mereka. Kerana tiada siapa yang akan mereka cari selain kita sahabat mereka.

* KEGEMBIRAAN. Begitu juga dengan kegembiraan. Jika kita gembira, maka marilah berkongsi kegembiraan itu bersama sahabat-sahabat tercinta. Tidak mahukah kita bergelak tawa dengan mereka? Tidak mahukah kita melihat ukiran-ukiran senyuman indah di raut wajah mereka? Kegembiraan kita, kegembiraan mereka jua.

* KESERASIAN di sini bukanlah bermaksud, "Kau cantik, aku mesti cantik," "Kau kaya, aku pun kena kaya". Tidak sama sekali. Sememangnya manusia dijadikan oleh Allah berbeza-beza, namun, dalam persahabatan keserasian dapat diwujudkan apabila terbinanya persefahaman antara dua pihak. Apabila ada persefahaman, barulah hubungan kita dengan sahabat kita akan menjadi lebih baik dan akan berkurangnya pergaduhan disebabkan salah faham

Object of Despair


Emma is a lawyer and so is Aisha too. Those colleagues going into court at circa half past two. Its 1 O'clock right now. They grab a bite before the trial.They chat about this and that. Conversing with a smile. Aisha is in full hijab with a loose all over suit. Emma's in her business wear with accessories taboot.


Emma's really quite bemused at Aisha's godly ways. She looks Aisha in the eyes and very firmly says, ''You're a smart girl Aisha Why do you wear that across your hair? Subjugated by "man"- kind of like an object of despair! Take it off, my sister... Let your banner be unfurled. Don't blindly follow all around. DECLARE YOUR FREEDOM TO THE WORLD."


Aisha is amazed. But not the least bit shy. She bravely puts her milk shake down and gives Emma the reply,"My dear sister Emma, Why do you dress the way you do? The skirt you're wearing round your waist, is it really you? Now that we've sat down, I see you tug it across your thighs, don't you feel ashamed? Aware of prying eyes? I see the way you're sitting, Both legs joined at the knees, who forces you to sit like that? Do you feel at ease? I'll tell you who obliges you to dress the way you do. They are Gucci, Klein and St. Laurent, etc... All have designs on you! In the main, its men my friend who dictate the whims of fashion, generating all the garb to incite the basest passion. It is "Sex Sells" and there is no doubt, But who buys with such great haste? The answer is the likes of you, because they want to be embraced. They want to be accepted.


On a level playing field, sure with brain and intellect but with body parts revealed.Intelligence and reason are useful by and by but if you want to make a mark, stay appealing to the eye, you claim your skirt is office like a business dress of sorts. Would we not laugh at Tony Blair if he turned up in shorts? His could be the poshest pants Pinstripe from Saville Rowe but walking round like that my friend. He'd really have to go. Why do you douse yourself with creams to make your skin so milky? Why do rip off all your hair to keep your body silky? A simple shower's all you need to stay respectable and clean.The time and money that you spend is really quite obscene. Why do you wake up at dawn to apply a firm foundation, topped with make up and the like in one chaotic combination? And if you should have to leave the house, devoid of this routine! Why do you feel so insecure? That you should not be seen? Be free my sister Emma. Escape from your deep mire.


Do hijab today, my friend and all Islam's attire. Avoid all those sickly stares or whistles from afar. Walk down the street with dignity. Take pride in who you are. Strength lies in anonymity. Be a shadow in the crowd until you speak and interact when your voice will carry loud. You're a smart girl, Emma. Wear this across your hair. Don't be subjugated by "man"- kind of an object of despair to use your very words my friend."

Let your banner be unfurled. Don't blindly follow all around.

DECLARE YOUR FREEDOM TO THE WORLD!

7 Sebab Kenapa Melayu Tak Boleh Jadi James Bond :)


1. Melayu suka berahsia tetapi tidak pandai menyimpan rahsia.Industri perisikan seluruh dunia berasaskan satu konsep, iaitu keupayaan menyimpan, menghantar, menjual maklumat rahsia dan sensitif. Tapi lihatlah Harian Metro dan Kosmo, ianya penuh dengan berita peribadi yang mengaibkan, terutama gosip murahan dan berita picisan yang orang tak nak ambil tahu pun. Dan kebanyakkan editor dan wartawan akhbar ini Melayu, jadi tak hairanlah kalau Melayu jadi James Bond, yang pasti setiap hari akhbar akan penuh dengan rahsia rasmi dan sensitif Kerajaan Malaysia yang boleh mengancam keselamatan negara.

2. Martini shaken, not stirred (Martini digoncang, bukan dikacau).
Haram la bagi kita. Takkan James Bond Melayu nak pergi bar di luar negara lepas itu minta “Abang, minta air tebu satu”. Yang pastinya pada ketika dan saat itu identiti kamu sebagai perisik Malaysia akan terbongkar dan kamu pastinya akan dibunuh ataupun diseksa dengan cara dipaksa menonton 7 musim Akademi Fantasia terus-menerus.

3. Kasino dan perjudian adalah haram.
Kalau dirujuk semula filem Casino Royale, James Bond membelanjakan wang kerajaan untuk berjudi dan dipantau oleh pegawai dari Kementerian Kewangan yang 'seksa(i)' sangat. Kalau James Bond Melayu, mesti dia kena fikir dua-tiga puluh kali sebelum melangkah ke kasino. Takkan nak masuk kasino dekat Genting Highland atau diluar negara sambil pakai baju batik UiTM. Kalau ada pegawai dari Kementerian Kewangan pun orangnya ialah seorang makcik bertudung, memakai tag nama kementerian berwarna hitam dan sangat cerewet dalam meluluskan peruntukan untuk berjudi. Silap haribulan tak dapat satu sen pun. Habis la misi terjejas dan rahsia akan terbongkar.

4. Kereta…jeng jeng jeng(sound effect)…Proton dan Perodua!!.
Sedangkan kereta pengguna biasa pun kualiti masih lagi ditahap yang membimbangkan, inikan pula nak buat kereta rasmi untuk ejen rahsia kita. Confirm takkan ada badan dan cermin kereta kalis peluru, senjata canggih yang tersembunyi, dan pelbagai lagi gajet yang kita dapat lihat dalam kereta James Bond. Dan takkan ada kereta rasmi ejen rahsia kita yang boleh terbang, menyelam, dan jadi glider, sebab kerajaan takkan bayar (maintainance tinggi!). Dan yang pasti kita takkan beli kereta import.

5. Identiti palsu yang teramat terhad.
Dengan rupa kita ditambah kulit warna sawo matang, memang susah nak jadi low-profile. Bila turun kapal terbang dekat airport overseas, masalah dah timbul sebab perkataan ‘bin’ itu akan menyebabkan kita dituduh pengganas dan ditahan. Nak guna nama Michael Suparman tak boleh pula nanti orang kampong tuduh kita murtad! Kalau guna nama 100% Mat Salleh confirm habis. Ingat Mat Salleh nak percaya ada lelaki rupa Melayu pakai nama macam John Holmes atau Robert Jeremy? Tentu tidak.

6. Tiada peralatan khas.
James Bond yang sebenar akan dibantu oleh ‘Q’ yang akan memberikan peralatan-peralatan khas yang canggih habis, seperti kamera satelit, senjata, dan bom kecil. Kita ada apa? Setakat hari hujan pun tak boleh dapat signal Astro! Ditambah lagi dengan bilangan satelit komunikasi yang terhad (4 buah). Kalau dimushkan musuh, habis terkandas ejen rahsia kita tak dapat nak call for help sebab line Maxis, DiGi dan Celcom tak boleh guna (tiada satelit!). So, takkan nak minta tolong guna Pos Malaysia pula?

7. Satu Malaysia akan tahu identiti Ejen Rahsia kita.
Ialah dah jadi ejen yang pertama dalam Malaysia yang famous, mestilah jadi ikon Negara. Bangga anak jati kita jadi ejen rahsia! Dah tentu stesen dan program tv (Nona, TV9, astro awani, RTM, Majalah Tiga dll.) berebut nak buat feature story pasal kehidupan dan sesi latihan ejen rahsia kita ni. Itu tak kira lagi yang ejen rahsia kita ni akan jadi kaya-raya sebab jadi duta produk itu dan produk ini.

The law of Seed




Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds! We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?" Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."

This might mean: You'll attend twenty interviews to get one scholarship. You'll interview forty people to find one good employee. You'll talk to fifty people to sell one book, one car, one vacuum cleaner, or a business idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend. When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happen to us. Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them, and work with them.

Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds. When things are beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO so as to avoid misery in your life:
- You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
- You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.
- Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry!
- That's what miserable people do!

On the other hand, let's say you expect that:
- Friends SHOULD return favours.
- People SHOULD appreciate you.
- Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
- Everyone SHOULD be honest.
- Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.

These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen!
- So you end up frustrated and disappointed.
- There's a better strategy.

Demand less, and instead, have preferences!
- For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself: "I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B" HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!"

This is really a change in mindset. It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind. You prefer that people are polite... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine... but if it rains, it is ok too!
To become happier, we either need to
a) Change the world, or
b) Change our thinking.
It is easier to change our Thinking! It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude attending to the problem that is the problem. It's not what happens to you that determine your happiness. It's how you think about what happens to you!
