He was granted a shelter on top of a mountain that was surrounded by salty water. However, Allah caused a stream of sweet water to flow through the mountain for that individual. The man would drink from this water and use it to make ablution. Allah Ta'ala also raised a pomegranate tree from which the man would eat one fruit every day. <br/> <br/> One day, this person supplicated to Allah that, "Oh Allah, bring my death while I am in the state of prostration." Allah accepted this dua of his. Whenever Jibrail (as) came down to the Earth, he found this man prostrating to Allah. Jibrail (as) said that on the day of Judgement, Allah will tell the angels to take this individual to Paradise through His mercy. However, this man will insist that he should enter paradise through the good deeds that he had performed. <br/> <br/> Then, Allah will tell the angels to compare his good deeds with the blessings that were given to him in the world. It will be seen that 500 years of his worship does not even equal to the gift of eye sight that was given to him by Allah. The angels will be asked to take him towards the hell fire. Then the man will plead, "Oh Allah! Enter me into Paradise only through Your mercy." At that point, the following discussion will take place between Allah and that man. <br/> <br/> Allah: Oh my servant, who created you? <br/> <br/> The worshipper: Oh Allah, You have created me. <br/> <br/> Allah: Were you created because of the good deeds you have done or because of My mercy? <br/> <br/> The worshipper: Because of Your mercy. <br/> <br/> Allah: Who granted you the ability to worship for 500 years? <br/> <br/> The worshipper: Oh the Almighty! You have granted me that ability. <br/> <br/> Allah: Who placed you on the mountain surrounded by the ocean? Who caused a stream of sweet water to flow in between the salty water? Who caused a pomegranate tree to grow for you? Who granted you death while in the state of prostration? <br/> <br/> The worshipper: Oh the Sustainer of the Worlds! You have done all of these. <br/> <br/> Then Allah will say, "All these have happened due to My mercy and you too will enter Paradise only through My Mercy." <br/> <br/> Source: Obtained from the book "Tambihul Ghafileen" by Shaikh Abul Laith Samarkandi. <br/> <br/> We can never thank Allah for the blessings that He has given us. Let us use these blessings to recognize Allah before our death.<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.9</div>Tajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695896303159900716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291210822485796748.post-25335430850149128442011-06-01T00:20:00.001-07:002011-06-01T00:25:44.799-07:00Pagi yang nyaman di ODEC UMS<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">salam semua.semoga sentiasa di bawah lindungan Allah..pagi selasa tu kami buat liqo dan perkongsian ilmu di Odec (outdoor development centre) di ums..best.rasa mcm berada di pulau jak..layan pics ni ya..</span><br /><br /><p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_FHovCqe3_8/TeXoAqJSHKI/AAAAAAAAAIg/sVG8ecNyw2s/2011-05-31%25252010.29.25.jpg"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_FHovCqe3_8/TeXoAqJSHKI/AAAAAAAAAIg/sVG8ecNyw2s/s400/2011-05-31%25252010.29.25.jpg" /></a></p><p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PEbhYR3XRzA/TeXoFrE17OI/AAAAAAAAAIk/EdREKLXcoos/2011-05-31%25252010.29.20.jpg"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PEbhYR3XRzA/TeXoFrE17OI/AAAAAAAAAIk/EdREKLXcoos/s400/2011-05-31%25252010.29.20.jpg" /></a></p><p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-19c-9-ZrGec/TeXoJj71HFI/AAAAAAAAAIo/kTVZvP8c_6g/2011-05-31%25252010.28.55.jpg"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-19c-9-ZrGec/TeXoJj71HFI/AAAAAAAAAIo/kTVZvP8c_6g/s400/2011-05-31%25252010.28.55.jpg" /></a></p><br /><div style="clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;">Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.9</div>Tajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695896303159900716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291210822485796748.post-23155931900971249762011-02-24T18:13:00.000-08:002011-02-24T18:15:44.600-08:00KURSUS PENGENALAN BLOGas salam semua...<br /><br />Hari nih staff JMSK ada kursus pengenalan blog..wahh mengimbas skill yang dah lapuk..bertahun2 lalu dah pernah buat blog actually...<br /><br /><br />so layan jak la..Tajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695896303159900716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291210822485796748.post-82811162748432451322008-04-27T09:14:00.000-07:002011-02-24T18:33:58.009-08:00Fight in Battle Array..Assalamualaikum

Let me go back to how it all started. In 1971, an Egyptian doctor wrote to the European Press, a letter saying that Zumzum water was not fit for drinking purposes. I immediately thought that this was just a form of prejudice against the Muslims and that since his statement was based on the assumption that since the Ka'aba was a shallow place (below sea level) and located in the center of the city of Makkah, the wastewater of the city collecting through the drains fell into well holding the water.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >Fortunately, the news came to King Faisal's ears who got extremely angry and decided to disprove the Egyptian doctor's provocative statement.

It was here that I was employed as a desalting engineer (chemical engineer to produce drinking water from sea water). I was chosen to carry out this assignment. At this stage, I remember that I had no idea what the well holding the water looked like. I went to Makkah and reported to the authorities at the Ka'aba explaining my purpose of visit. <o:p> </o:p> </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >They deputed a man to give me whatever help was required. When we reached the well, it was hard for me to believe that a pool of water, more like a small pond, about 18 by 14 feet, was the well that supplied millions of gallons of water every year to hajis ever since it came into existence at the time of Hazrat Ibrahim A.S., many, many centuries ago. I started my investigations and took the dimensions of the well. I asked the man to show me the depth of the well.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >First he took a shower and descended into the water. Then he straightened his body. I saw that the water level came up to just above his shoulders. His height was around five feet, eight inches. He then started moving from one corner to the other in the well (standing all the while since he was not allowed to dip his head into the water) in search of any inlet or pipeline inside the well to see from where the water came in. However, the man reported that he could not find any inlet or pipeline inside the well. <o:p> </o:p> </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >I thought of another idea. The water could be withdrawn rapidly with the help of a big transfer pump which was installed at the well for the Zumzum water storage tanks. In this way, the water level would drop enabling us to locate the point of entry of the water. Surprisingly, nothing was observed during the pumping period, but I knew that this was the only method by which you could find the entrance of the water to the well. So I decided to repeat the process. But this time I instructed the man to stand still at one place and carefully observe any unusual thing happening inside the well. After a while, he suddenly raised his hands and shouted, "Alhamdollillah! I have found it. The sand is dancing beneath my feet as the water oozes out of the bed of the well." <o:p> </o:p> </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >Then he moved around the well during the pumping period and noticed the same phenomenon everywhere in the well. Actually the flow of water into the well through the bed was equal at every point, thus keeping the level of the water steady. After I finished my observations I took the samples of the water for European laboratories to test. Before I left the Ka'aba, I asked the authorities about the other wells around Makkah. <o:p> </o:p> </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >I was told that these wells were mostly dry. When I reached my office in Jeddah I reported my findings to my boss who listened with great interest but made a very irrational comment that the Zumzum well could be internally connected to the <st1:place> Red Sea</st1:place> . How was it possible when Makkah is about 75 kilometres away from the sea and the wells located before the city usually remains dry?

In a way, it was a blessing that this study was undertaken to show the chemical composition of the water. In fact, the more you explore, the more wonders surface and you find yourself believing implicitly in the miracles of this water that God bestowed as a gift on the faithful coming from far and wide to the desert land for pilgrimage.</span> <o:p> </o:p> </span> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >Let me sum up some of the features of Zumzum water. <o:p> </o:p> </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >This well has never dried up.

This water has never been chemically treated or chlorinated as is the case with water pumped into the cities. Biological growth and vegetation usually takes place in most wells. This makes the water unpalatable owing to the growth of algae causing taste and odour problems. <o:p> </o:p> </span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:100%;" >But in the case of the Zumzum water well, there wasn't any sign of biological growth. Centuries ago, Hagar (raa) searched desperately for water in the hills of Safa and Marwa to give to her newly born son Ismail (pbuh) As she ran from one place to another in search of water, her child rubbed his feet against the sand. A pool of water surfaced, and by the grace of God, shaped itself into a well which came to be called Zumzum water.</span></p><p><br /></p><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Hajj Center</span> <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />SyHaleem 80<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">http://www.geocities.com/alislamiworld/miracles_of_zam_zam_water.htm</span><br /><p><span style=";font-family:Book Antiqua;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span></p>Tajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695896303159900716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291210822485796748.post-81564180873800534872008-02-05T07:10:00.000-08:002008-02-05T07:24:20.436-08:00Ayat-Ayat Cinta - The Movie<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-weight: bold;">Salam everyone!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;">Dulu, sebuah novel menarik bertajuk Ayat-Ayat Cinta karya Habiburrahman El Shirazy telah pun berada di pasaran dan menjadi novel best seller!...</span><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;">Jangan ketinggalan membaca novel islamik yang sangat menarik ini.

Kita tidak boleh dibebankan dengan masalah remeh yang tidak akan membawa kita ke mana2, umpamanya berseronok yang terlampau. Kita haruslah bekerja sedaya upaya, prihatin terhadap muslim yang lain, seperti yang berada di palestine, berusaha untuk menguasai ekonomi sepenuhnya dengan cara yang halal dan diredhai di samping tidak meninggalkan suruhan Allah. Untuk itu, kita mesti mantapkan diri dengan ilmu duniawi serta ukhrawi. Dengan cara ini, barulah muslim akan maju dan mengatasi yang lain.

font-weight: bold;">Are you one of those people who rarely touches the Quran? Or do you read daily, but don't find it is having the impact on you that it should? Whatever the case may be, these are some simple tips that can help you connect with the Quran.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">1. Before you touch it, check your heart</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">The key to really benefiting from the Quran is to check your heart first, before you even touch Allah's book. Ask yourself, honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was described by his wife as a "walking Quran": in other words, he didn't just read and recite the Quran, he lived it.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">2. Do your Wudu (ablution)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Doing your Wudu is good physical and mental preparation to remind you you're not reading just another book. You are about to interact with God, so being clean should be a priority when communicating with Him.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">3. Read only 5 minutes everyday</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Too often, we think we should read Quran for at least one whole hour. If you aren't in the habit of reading regularly, this is too much. Start off with just five minutes daily. If you took care of step one, Insha Allah (God willing), you will notice that those five minutes will become ten, then half an hour, then an hour, and maybe even more!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">4. Make sure you understand what you've read</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Five minutes of reading the Quran in Arabic is good, but you need to understand what you're reading. Make sure you have a good translation of the Quran in the language you understand best. Always try to read the translation of what you've read that day . </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">5. Remember, the Quran is more interactive than a CD</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">In an age of "interactive" CD-Roms and computer programs, a number of people think books are passive and boring. But the Quran is not like that. Remember that when you read Quran, you are interacting with Allah. He is talking to you, so pay attention. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">6. Don't just read, listen too</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">There are now many audio cassettes and CDs of the Quran, a number of them with translations as well. This is great to put on your walkman or your car's CD or stereo as you drive to and from work. Use this in addition to your daily Quran reading, not as a replacement for it. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">7. Make Dua (supplication)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Ask Allah to guide you when you read the Quran. Your aim is to sincerely, for the love of Allah, interact with Him by reading, understanding and applying His blessed words. Making Dua to Allah for help and guidance will be your best tool for doing this.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Allah know best...</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">(source: from a web which i forgot the link,sorry)</span><br /><br /></span>Tajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695896303159900716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291210822485796748.post-60781937968716191592008-01-18T19:13:00.000-08:002008-01-18T20:18:07.143-08:00Doa dan Adab Menziarahi Orang Sakit/Supplications or Duas when visiting the sick.<span style="font-family:georgia;color:#003300;"><strong>Assalamualaikum wbt</strong></span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><br /><br /><strong>Oleh kerana ana masih sakit dan demam, ana akan post mengenai Doa dan Adab menziarahi orang sakit. </strong><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#cc0000;"><strong>When someone is critically ill</strong></span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3333ff;"><strong></strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3333ff;"><strong><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.islam.tc/Dua/218criticallyill.jpg" border="0" /></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3333ff;"><strong></strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3333ff;"><strong>When someone is so critically ill that there is no hope for his recovery, under no circumstances should he (or she) pray for his (or her) death.

Alternatively, it is a principle of promoting <a title="Secular" href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Secular">secular</a> ideas or values in either public or private settings. It may also be a synonym for "secularist movement". In the extreme, it is an ideology that holds that religion has no place in public life.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;">In one sense, secularism may assert the <a title="Freedom of religion" href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Freedom_of_religion">freedom of religion</a>, and freedom from the government imposition of religion upon the people, within a state that is neutral on matters of belief, and gives no state privileges or subsidies to religions.</span></p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Now that you have a bit of idea on what secularism all about, lets analyze the term from Islamic perspective. First of all, the simple way to understand secularism, is when you separate religion from your daily living.<br /><br />For example, let say when you are doing your business, you tend to cheat your customer by reducing the amount of fruits that you sell, and you did it without fearing that action might cause you in the hereafter. You are not afraid of the hellfire or sins, and you think that you can get away from them easily without being judged later. Remember, one of the verses in Quran that says:</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >We shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it (to account): and enough are We to take account. (Surah Al Anbiya :47).</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Besides, you will feel embarrassed to speak about Islam or applying it in your daily lives. It is because you think that Islamic teachings are just way out of date and conservative. </span> <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br /><br />When you dress, your fashion might look like Islamic, but actually it is not! For ladies especially, their attires are glamorous and sexy even though they are wearing the hijab (tudung) on. These trends existed long ago, since the Dark Age era, and it is known as ' Tabbaruj Aj- Jahiliyyah', or fashion of those ignorant during Dark Age. </span> <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />Well, of course all of us have the freedom of expression on how to talk,walk or behave. But then again, for Muslims, we all have limits to express our opinions. It should not be opposite with what written in the Quran and Hadith.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />On a final note, when you think that you have some of the characteristics of secular in yourself, you better do something about it...</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_V7hHrud-OTU/R4t4wTwx4-I/AAAAAAAAABE/b5xX2-6lZ1Q/s1600-h/278279894l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_V7hHrud-OTU/R4t4wTwx4-I/AAAAAAAAABE/b5xX2-6lZ1Q/s400/278279894l.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155346969789588450" border="0" /></a></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />Some of the tips to avoid secularism are:</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >- Dress according to appropriate Islamic guidelines ( I'll post about that soon, don't miss it).</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >- Study and explore the Quran, and most importantly, APPRECIATE it!</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />-Remember and always set in your heart and mind that we will not live forever, and believe that the Day of Judgement will definitely come and there's no way that any living souls can escape it!</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >- Make friends with Muslim friends that are really 'Muslims' ( you know what i mean!)</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />- Dont be fooled by those extreme entertainment shows aired on TV, they are all fake and will not last long!</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br /><br />- Think of Allah, Allah, Allah more than anyone else!</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >- OF course pray 5 times a day, plus all the Sunnat Prayer, Sunnat deeds, repent a lot (istighfar) in your daily supplication, hear Islamic lectures to motivate your souls, always ask advice from any religious person around you about your personality, is it the way any Muslims should behave or the other way round.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >I think thats all from me.

Ianya satu bahan bacaan yang menarik dan ringan, berbanding kita membaca novel yang sarat dan padat. Novel drama ini adakalanya diselangi humor-humor ringan yang saya kira amat penting untuk mewujudkan suasana ceria dan less stress for the audience.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Seperti juga hasrat penulis, saya juga amat menyokong dan mengalu-alukan sekiranya ada pihak produksi Malaysia yang sanggup mementaskan atau memfilemkan karya ini sebagai satu drama/filem evolusi berpaksikan sastera Islamiyyah, which is very rare to be found nowadays.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Ringkasnya, novel ini menceritakan mengenai 3 orang pemuda yang berlainan watak iaitu Sahlan (vulkanologis), Mazlan (Doktor) dan Razlan (ustaz, terrorist) . Mereka terperangkap di dalam sebuah <i>bunker</i> akibat letusan gunung berapi. Mereka kemudiannya tertidur selama beribu tahun dan apabila terjaga, zaman telah berubah dan mereka berada di bawah pemerintahan Paduka Ratu dalam Dunia Baru. Misi mereka adalah untuk mengubat penyakit kusta yang merebak dengan serius di kalangan penduduk Dunia Baru, serta satu lagi misi penting iaitu untuk berdakwah dan memperkenalkan syiar Islam kepada penduduk Dunia Baru yang masih tercari-cari apakah anutan/agama yang terbaik dan sesuai untuk mereka. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">In my opinion, terlalu banyak pengajaran dan ilmu-ilmu yang saya dapat melalui pembacaan novel ini.
