Ya Allah..



Ya Allah, please forgive me for the wrong I've done
Ya Allah, give me another chance to prove that I can pass
Please guide me and protect me along the straight path
And I know that I can make it, one day I'll be in heaven with you

Brother, brother, (let me tell you) you ain't acting cool
Lower your gaze, don't go astray, cuz you're looking like a fool
We all know (human nature) makes us ignorant sometimes
Making us do some things we know just ain't right

What's the moral of the story fellaz?

You better watch your back
Stay on the right track
Don't try to act all wack
Cuz it will all come back to you

And all you can say is

Ya Allah, please forgive me for the wrong I've done
Ya Allah, give me another chance to prove that I can pass
Please guide me and protect me along the straight path
And I know that I can make it, one day I'll be in heaven with you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/786/ya_allah.html ]
Sister, don't your dare cry
Cuz girl you know we all fall short sometimes
Dust yourself off, stand tall, don't let it get you down
Open your eyes to Allah, you'll see the beauty of
All the things that are going your way
Hold your head up high, it'll be okay

Allah is merciful, the most forgiving
Pray five times a day, and never stop giving
You gotta keep on Qur'an, keep Iman strong
And one day, insh'Allah, you'll be among the stars

For now you better pray girl

Ya Allah, please forgive me for the wrong I've done
Ya Allah, give me another chance to prove that I can pass
Please guide me and protect me along the straight path
And I know that I can make it, one day I'll be in heaven with you

What's happening brother, I've got a message for you
There's a little something that I need you to do
See, you've been causing problems since you came my way
And I'm not trying to have that, ain't the way I play
I don't need no influence like you in my world
I'm just trying to live my life - simple and pure
You've been avoiding the Iman, don't even make salat
It's time to beg for some forgiveness from ya Allah

Everybody sing it now

Ya Allah, please forgive me for the wrong I've done
Ya Allah, give me another chance to prove that I can pass
Please guide me and protect me along the straight path
And I know that I can make it, one day I'll be in heaven with you

syukur dan sabar

Assalamu'alaikum duhai sahabat semua


Moga sehat2 selalu di bawah limpahan kaseh sayang Allah Taala insyaAllah. Terlalu banyak anugerah yang Allah berikan untuk kita semua yang hakikatnya hanyalah pinjaman sementara sahaja di dunia yang fana ini. Pancaindera yang sempurna untuk mentadabur alam, kesihatan fizikal dan rohani untuk menjalani kehidupan seharian, rezeki yang baik untuk dinikmati dan dikongsi bersama, makan minum cukup pakai semuanya alhamdulillah dan pelbagai lagi nikmat yang Allah berikan hingga tak terhitung oleh akal manusia. Selalulah bersyukur dengan segala nikmat kurniaanNya yang telah kita semua nikmati, yang sedang kita kecapi dan yang akan kita miliki walau apa jua keadaan kita di masa lampau, sekarang maupun akan datang. 





Hayatilah bait2 puisi hasil cetusan hati yang penuh cinta padaNya, ayuh menyikapi ujian dengan kesabaran dan penuh kesyukuran.


Kiranya diri diuji dengan pelbagai mehnah duniawi 
mahupun dugaan yang dirasakan tidak tertanggung oleh diri, 
percayalah bahwa ia didatangkan khas buat diri 
yang mampu menghadapi segala onak duri (insyaAllah!)


Bersyukurlah dikau masih diuji
tanda Allah masih sayang pada diri
tidak dibiar hanya membuta tuli
Asbab ujian sebagai motivasi
meningkat darjat di mata Ilahi.


Lalu bersangka baiklah dan lunakkan hati
Berdoalah dengan penuh perasaan dan penghayatan 
umpama ia adalah hajat terakhir yang Allah makbulkan
Berdoalah dengan rasa percaya dan yakin pada Yang Esa
Berdoalah dengan penuh rasa keimanan dan ketaqwaan
Menangislah sepuasnya dan mengadulah pada Sang Pencipta
Nescaya Allah berikan nikmat ketenangan dalam jiwa..


insyaAllah Taala! ♥





Hidup itu satu perjuangan, mati suatu kepastian!

love


"No matter what I say to explain and elucidate Love,
shame overcomes me when I come to Love itself.
Love cannot be contained within our speaking or listening;
Love is an ocean whose depths cannot be plumbed.
Would you try to count the drops of the sea?
Before that Ocean, the seven seas are nothing.
Love cannot be found in erudition and science, books and pages.
Whatever is discussed by people - that is not the way of lovers.
Whatever you have said or heard is the shell:
The kernel of Love is a mystery that cannot be divulged.
Enough! How long will you cling to these words of the tongue?
Love has many expositions beyond speech.
Silence! Silence! For the allusions of Love are reversed:
The meanings become hidden from much speaking.
Somone asked, "What is Love?"
I replied, "Ask not about these meanings.
When you become like me, then you will know.
When He calls you, you will recite its tale."
Oh you who have listened to talk of Love, behold Love!
What are words in the ears compared to vision in the eyes?"
This poem was written by Mevlana Rumi, so deep and touching that can't help penetrating the heart. May Allah Almighty granted us His divine love. Only God's love can wash our sorrows off!
"One of the supplications of Prophet David (PBUH) was: 'God, I beg of You Your love, the love of those who love You, and such conduct as should lead me to Your love. God, make Your love dearer to me than my soul and my family, and dearer than cold water.'" (At-Tirmidhi)

Istikhara



"Istikhara" means to seek goodness from Allah (Exalted is He), meaning when one intends to do an important task they do istikhara before the task. The one who does the istikhara is as if they request Allah Almighty that, O the Knower of Unseen (Exalted is He) guide me if this task is better for me or not?

According to Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 21, Number 263:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah : The Prophet (Sallal Laho Alaihi Wasallam) used to teach us the way of doing Istikhara, in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Quran. He said, "If anyone of you thinks of doing any job he should offer a two Rakat prayer other than the compulsory ones and recite duaa after the prayer.

How to perform istikhara?
First pray Two Cycles (raka') of ritual Prayer (nafil) such that in the first raka' after Surah Fatiha recite Surah al-Kafirun (Chapter 109) and in the second raka' after Fatiha recite Surah al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112). After finishing prayer recite this duaa/supplication:
"O Allah! I seek goodness from Your Knowledge and with Your Power (and Might) I seek strength, and I ask from You Your Great Blessings, because You have the Power and I do not have the power. You Know everything and I do not know, and You have knowledge of the unseen. Oh Allah! If in Your Knowledge this action ------------ (which I intend to do) is better for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then make it destined for me and make it easy for me and then add blessings [baraka'] in it, for me. O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this action is bad for me, bad for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then turn it away from me and turn me away from it and whatever is better for me, ordain [destine] that for me and then make me satisfied with it."

How many times to do istikhara?
It depends really, sometimes it takes only once to get the answer and sometimes it takes longer. It is better to do istakhara seven (7) times. If you have received an answer as explained in the section below, stop doing istikhara. You do not have to continue to do isitkhara for 7 days. It is better that right after reciting the supplication, given above, sleep with ablution (people who cannot keep the ablution for longer times due to health problems do not have to worry about ablution before falling asleep) facing the direction of the Qibla (facing the Qibla is not required but it is a Sunnat of our beloved Prophet Peace Be Upon Him). It is better to recite salutations (durood/ salawat) on the Prophet Allah's Grace and Peace be upon him before and after the above Dua (supplication).

What's the answer?
If in the dream one sees whiteness (means any thing white in color, for example: milk, white paper, white sky, white clothes, white light etc.) or greenness (means any thing green in color, for example: grass, plants, trees, green clothes, green light etc.) then understand that this task is better and if one sees redness (means any thing red in color, for example: blood, red clothing, red fruit, red light etc.) or blackness (means any thing black in color, for example: black water, black light, black clothings, black sky, black wall etc. ) then understand it is bad and avoid it.

If do not remember any dream or do not see any colors then follow your heart. Whatever intention grows stronger in your heart regarding your targated work follow it after seven days of Istikhara.

do it anyway




Between you and God - a poignant wisdom.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may cheat you; Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you've got and it may never be enough; Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway


This was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children.
