You stole my heart, you took my breath away...

I
[, _____, take you ______, to be my wedded husband]
To have and to hold, from this day forward,
for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
to love and to cherish,
'till death do us part.

After all these years of searching...

Alhamdulillah, I've finally found what I've been looking for,
the perfect companion, apart of me which I didn't know exist.

Him.



1) He protects me and makes me feel safe even in the darkest hour of night, even in the most lonely and quiet street.

2) He is my strength when Im weakened by my surroundings...or even by my own weaknesses.

3) He's willing to forgive me even when Ive committed the biggest mistake imaginable.

4) He listens to me, even when there are thousand others who turn to him.

5) Sometimes I can express myself in any language, still he understands me.

6) Sometimes...I don't even have to talk. Still he knows whats bothering me.

7) He made me feel loved like no one has ever before

8) I trust him with all of my heart because I know he would never break it

9) Its because of him I won that basketball competition when I was 16..Its because of him I passed my exams with flying colors..He always gives me gifts. Even when I didn't ask for it. Often, I forget to thank him. But still he's patient with me.

10) Sometimes he punishes me whenever Ive crossed the line. But I try to not be angry or anything cause I know the only reason he does that is because he cares about me.

11) Even if I can't see him, I know he's always there to guide me, I know this because he left me 114 love letters to remind me of him.

12) I'm not scared to love him...Cause I know he would never ever leave me...He would always be there.

13) He's my friend,

14) My first, my last and my one and only true love...the incomparable...
Who is it Im reffering to? Well he is...

1)Al-Muhaimin 2)Al-Jabbar 3)Al-Afu 4)As-Sami 5)Al- Wasi 6)Al-Khabir 7)Al-Wadud 8)Al-Wakil 9) As-Sabur & Al-Basit 10) Al-Muntaqim 11)Al-Batin, Ar-Rasheed & Al-Hadi 12) As-Samad & Al Baqi' 13) Al-Wali 14) Al-Awwal, Al-Akhir, Al-Wahid...Al-Badi'


If you realize, in the beginning, Ive placed a sample of the traditional wedding vow we always hear. Recited once during the wedding...Read this..

إِنَّ صَلاَتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ

“Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds"

Sounds familiar doesn't it? Know why? Cause this is the vow we pledge at the beginning of our prayers, its apart of the 'Doa Iftitah'

So, still looking for that one true love?...

Menaiki bas :)

In the name of Allah The most gracious most merciful...

Sudah lama jari jemari tak ketemu keyboard untuk menulis entry di sini. Maaf dan terima kasih kepada superheroes yang lain kerana tolong meriahkan blog yang jarang-jarang saya sumbangkan tulisan.

Hari ni, siapa yang pergi sekolah naik bus??? angkat ibu jari kaki!! ^__^

Dalam bas penuh tak? Kalau 8-9 pagi tu memang wajiblah penuh kan? Budak-budak pergi sekolah, orang-orang dewasa pergi kerja. Kalau tak tin sardin, tin tuna pun boleh jadi kan? Kalau petang dalam pukul 6, mesti lagi dahsyat. Bau pun dah kureng sikit :p Tapi takpe la, Allah nak bagi kita peluang nak dapat pahala lebih dengan bersabar :D

Alhamdulillah bas yang kita naiki tu suhu sedap-sedap badan je (oh sekarang tengah winter, pakcik bas pasang heater). Selesa kan? Lebih kurang macam ni la bas yang selalu kita naik tu kan?

Cuma mungkin bukan bas elektrik dan buruk sikit. Tapi cuba tengok yang ni pula :

Saya tak kan bebel banyak-banyak lagi. Saya yakin syukur mereka amat banyak pada Tuhan yang memberikan rezeki, syukur kerana ada bas, kalau tak perlu berjalan tak tahu berapa puluh kilometer. Tapi kita?

Kisah pemuda buta.

Salam dan salam sejahtera kepada semua.


Pada satu hari, Hang Kasturi tengah jalan-jalan. waktu tu, masih petang tapi hari dah gelap. cuaca tak berapa baik masa tu. tiba-tiba ada benda putih jatuh kat pipi Hang Kasturi.


Salji! Salji!


"ni la nikmatnye bile kita banyak merantau ni. dapat tgk salji." kata Hang Kasturi pada diri sendiri.

"seronoknya."

terkejut Hang Kasturi. tak sangka pulak ada orang dengar apa yang Hang Kasturi cakap tu. dah lah boleh faham apa yang Hang Kasturi cakap tu. Hmm.. musykil musykil.

"rupa salji macam mana?" pemuda tu tanya lagi.

Hang Kasturi pelik plak dengan soklan dia tu. bio benar tak tau rupa salji.

"errr.. salji tu putih. bentuk dia macam-macam. salji sebenarnya air tapi dalam bentuk pepejal." jawab Hang Kasturi. gagap jugak.

"oo ye ke. ingatkan bulat. orang selalu kata salji tu bulat." pemuda tu berpaling menghadap Hang Kasturi.

Hang Kasturi nampak mata dia terbuka sikit tapi nampak macam tertutup 3/4. barulah Hang Kasturi faham, pemuda tu cacat penglihatan.

"aku tak pernah tau bentuk salji tu macam mana. tapi aku tau salji tu bila dia jatuh tak pernah sendirik-sendirik. mesti jatuh dengan kengkawan. kalau kengkawan dia sikit, dia cepat cair. tak kekal di tanah. kalau ramai, dia jadi padat. kuat. lekat kat tanah. lepas tu dia sejuk. bila jalan atas salji, kaki yang memijak rasa nyaman, empuk dan gebu."

Hang Kasturi terdiam. malu pun ada sebab Hang Kasturi tak dapat describe salji sebaik pemuda tu buat, walaupun Hang Kasturi ni sempurna matanya.

"awak tak dapat tengok dengan mata. tapi awak tengok dengan hati. saya pun teringin nak jadi macam awak." kata Hang Kasturi kat pemuda tu. pemuda tu senyum sampai nampak gigi.

"senang aje. nak aku ajarkan?"

"boleh."

"dengan syarat sebelum kau teruskan perjalanan kau dan tinggalkan tempat ni, kau kena datang jumpa aku."

"semestinya." jawab Hang Kasturi yakin.

"jawab soalan aku : kau nampak Tuhan kau? macam mana kau yakin Dia ada dan wujud di mana-mana?"

Hang Kasturi diam.

"sebenarnya aku tak perlu ajar kau. sebab kau sebenarnya dah pun 'melihat' Dia dengan hati kau. kadang-kadang, kita tak perasan, bila kita tak nampak, kita akan lebih menghargai. macam salji tadi. kadang-kadang manusia teruja je tengok salji-salji ni, tapi tak pernah lah nak tau sifat-sifat salji. boleh jadi, orang yang duduk kat negara yang bukan 4 musim boleh imaginasi dengan lebih baik macam mana salji tu daripada orang-orang yang duduk kat negara 4 musim."

Hang Kasturi ternganga. pemuda ni bukan calang-calang orang!

"kau perlu tengok di sebalik hikmah kejadian. bukan saja-saja Tuhan buat hakikat kita tak boleh nampak Dia."

Hang Kasturi angkat kepala lepas 5 minit tertunduk malu dengan pemuda tu tadi. aik? pemuda tu dah hilang!




esoknya, cuaca baik. salji tak turun lagi. dan Hang Kasturi nampak pemuda tu di tempat sama. kali ni dia tak bercakap. tapi muziknya yang bercakap.


Menjadi penting itu baik, tetapi menjadi baik itu lebih penting.

Any Given Time

Mmm any given time He'll be there

I don't really have to say no more

Mmm any given time He's right here

Embedded in my living soul - oh for sure

Oh any given time I see

The beauty that has always been

In any given time

I swear by The Lord of the moon split in 2

5 o'clock in the morning, I be calling You

I'm totally lost with out Your light

I'm finding my self on the strive all the time

Not a single day goes by

I'm out to fight the devil but never fought myself

Read a thousand books but never read myself

My souls starving it needs to be fed lord I need your help

Hell with the devil my biggest enemy's myself

It makes me wonder am I doing this for the right reasons

I mean the money the fame and game all sounds appealing

Instead of entertaining I prefer to enlighten

But then again who am I to be in a position

To represent a whole generation of kids and to make them believe

When till this day I still struggle to uphold my deen

I read a 100 God is great in less then a minute

And though my tongue is fast like twista

My hearts not in it

Mmm any given time He'll be there

I don't really have to say no more

Mmm any given time He's right here

Embedded in my living soul - oh for sure

Oh any given time I see

The beauty that has always been

In any given time

By the one in whose hands my soul is there is no match

To think a spider couldn't? weave a curtain just like that (break)

I wouldn't be here without Your light

I'm finding my self on the strive all the time

Not a single day goes by

Sí que tengo fervor, devoción para dar mi granito de arena

Y mi aspiración mantenerla serena

Yo Tengo buen criterio aunque a veces esta difuso

Yo Tengo mi firmeza de la cual a veces abuso

Yo trato de ser justo, me sobra lealtad

Coraje valentía, me falta sobriedad

Diferentes situaciónes,diferentes actitudes

Afectan mi progreso y todas mis virtudes

[Translation]

Sure I have fervour to give my grain of sand

And my aspirations keep them serene

My perception is sound even though it sometimes gets fuzzy

I have my resolution even though I sometimes abuse it

I try to be righteous, I abound in devotion

Courageous irascibility, I lack moderation

Different situations, different attitudes

Hamper my development and all of my virtues

Mmm any given time He'll be there

I don't really have to say no more

Mmm any given time He's right here

Embedded in my living soul - oh for sure

Oh any given time I see

The beauty that has always been

In any given time

Mercy with out boasting

Gifts with out terms

Goodness with out anger

Forgive with out reason

Any given time

I do my best to strive

In Your name I rise

The apple of my eye

Even when I'm not alone

You are closer than the veins in my neck

Even when I'm all alone

Even when I'm in sleep

You are closer than the veins in my neck

Even when I'm in it so deep

Even when I'm all gone

You are closer than the veins in my neck

Even as I'm singin' this song

Even when I'm on a high

You are closer than the veins in my neck

Even when I try to touch the sky

Mmm any given time He'll be there

I don't really have to say no more

Mmm any given time He's right here

Embedded in my living soul - oh for sure

Oh any given time I see

The beauty that has always been

In any given time

Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? ..If you really love that special someone...

Salam & hello dear readers...


In conjunction with a month where every decoration in the display windows are filled with red things, heart shapes,chocolates etc. we would like to share an entry which was taken from another blogger (credits to http://sarahmr.blog.friendster.com/2010/01/cinta-sang-bulan/ who took it from the63s.blogspot.com)Its just soo beautiful that we had to share it..


Enjoy the story..





There’s a quote from Yasmin Ahmad’s Talentime that I love the most. It sounds like this


‘ If the Moon can linger in the morning so bright, why can’t the Sun do the same at night?’


As I was walking back from my clinical rotation in Bons Secours Hospital today, the day was very beautiful and sunny, so I looked up to the blue sky spotted with white fluffy clouds to enjoy every moment of it and I realized the moon is still there not even hiding behind the clouds at 11.30 a.m.


And so I remembered the quote from the movie and yes, it’s true. The Moon even lingers up till noon when the day is very sunny. But it would not even appear on a gloomy rainy day when the Sun is hiding not showing himself. So I started to have this kind of imagination and fantasy about the Sun and the Moon.


For me, I always think, the Sun as a male as it portrays the Masculine features of strong, bright but sometimes could be very vulnerable. The Moon on the other hand is the female, with endless beauty, very serene to look at but could be very lonely. They made a very good and perfect couple, like it was destined from Heaven.


Have you ever thought that the Sun and the Moon are actually lovers? Why not? I mean because the Sun and the Moon are just like Adam and Eve. Without the Sun, the Moon will never exist to us as it only reflected the light from the Sun. So did Eve who was made from Adam’s rib, created to fill the spaces between Adam’s fingers. What a lovely couple the Sun and the Moon are, just like how lovely Adam and Eve were. Both couples were created in Heaven to shine upon all the mankind. It’s just that the love of the Sun and the Moon existed much longer before the love of Adam and Eve and their love persisted until today.


If the love of Adam and Eve is brought down from one generation to the next and the love breed filling every corner of the earth from the seed of love of Adam and Eve, the Sun and the Moon is different. Their love existed from the beginning of the world till the Day of Judgment and it will never change and it will never breed. Human’s Love blossoms from loyalty but can be full of cheat, treacherous and bitter to each other. But the Sun and the Moon always loyal to each other since the dawn of time up till now. Their love just never fades away like our love. That is the true power of Love.


Sadly, the Sun and the Moon live in separation. Never be able to live together like we did. No matter how strong their love is, they are not destined to be together in this lifetime. The Sun will appear on the day to shine on the mankind but the Moon can only appear in the night to entertain the heartbroken ones. One day the Moon said to the Sun,


“Oh My Love, you shine on the humans and made them happy for the rest of the day, and I will entertain them and give them a sense of peace and happiness in the night while they are making love, but truly I am lonely myself. You are never in my company. Will we be able to hold hands together like the human did?”


And so the Sun replied


“ Oh My Dear, I’m not trying to shine on them, but rather I’m shining my love on you so that you are not lonely. My light will make you glow beautifully and your beauty will make every eyes of the girls filled with envy and jealousy. We live in a world apart but I will always shine my love for you forever until The Lord Almighty bring us together in the Heaven”


The Moon is satisfied with the answer but never content with it. She loves the Sun so much that it is unbearable for her to live in separation.


One day, the Moon thought to herself, my heart must never falter and I must be strong in order to be with the Sun. From today on, I will linger on the sky until morning just to see the Sun even if it’s only for a while. The Moon was trying to show and prove her endless love to the Sun. So she stays every morning until noon just to have a brief moment with the Sun even her light is never the same as the night time. Her beauty is fading by the morning and she is sad that she cannot show the Sun her beauty. Even both of them appear on the same morning, they can only look at each other from a distant. They can never be closed enough to hold hands or to embrace each other tightly. Even so, the Moon was very happy because they got to see each other. Sadly for the Sun, he can only see the pale face of the Moon starring at him every morning, not that brightly glowing and the beautiful Moon. So the Sun asked the Moon


“Oh My Love, why do you look so pale and sad?”


The Moon replied


“Oh My Love, I’m sad because I can’t be with you and above of all, I’m pale because you are shinning so bright. You showered me with so much love that it caused me so much pain just to think that I’m not with you”


The Sun is confused so he asked the Moon


“Oh Love, do you want me reduce my love for you so that you can light up the morning sky with your glow and smile?”


Listening to that, the Moon said quickly


“ Oh My Love, Never. If you don’t shine your love on me then I will forever be in the dark even at night and the scar on me will never heal”


So the Sun and the Moon continue to live like that. The Sun will shine the earth every day and when the night comes, the lonely Moon will try to cast the loneliness of the humans away. They got to see each other every morning and then they’ll be separated again. So the Moon is becoming greedier. She longs for the Sun every moment and watching him from a far every morning is not enough anymore.


So, the Moon asked the Sun again


“ Oh My Love, If i can linger in the morning so bright, why can’t you do the same at night? If you are present at night, I can always show you my beauty“


Hearing to the question, the Sun becomes clueless and don’t have the answer himself. He also wonders why can’t he shine at night. After giving some thought about it, the Sun replied;


“ Oh my Dear, have you forgotten the Words of Allah from the Holy Book of Al-Quran? “


So the Sun recited a verse of Al-Quran from Az-Zumar verse 5


He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night. and He has subjected the sun and the moon. Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.


Listening to the verse, the Moon burst into tears and asked for Forgiveness from the Lord Almighty as she was trying to defy the rules of creation. Allah has made their destiny as so. She realizes that she could never be together with her beloved Sun. All she can do is to watch him from a far with pale, and sad eyes.


To ease the sadness of the Moon, the Sun then recited a verse from Al-Qiyamah, verse 8


and the sun and moon will be joined together (by going one into the other or folded
up or deprived of their light).


“Oh My Love, there will be time when we will be together. Please be patient “,the Sun said.


So the Moon and the Sun has been waiting and waiting until the Lord Almighty wishes them to meet each other.


The Sun and The Moon’s love is a very tragic love. Loving each other but never able to be together. There’s always that kind of love in this life that will never be able to be together in this world and surely Allah will grant your love wishes in the Heaven. Fate is in the Hand of Allah and Destiny is Allah’s haq for his servants. There will be time when your love will be realized. If Dunia Cinta is not for you, then Syurga Cinta is waiting for you. Adam and Eve met in Jabal Rahmah after years of searching and Allah fulfilled their love wishes. Just like the Sun and the Moon. Their love is destined to be together on the Day of Judgment. Allah has promised in Al-Qiyamah, when the Day of Judgment occurred is the time when the Sun and the Moon will meet. Oddly for them, in the chaos of the end of the world is the time for them to be happy forever.


For the love that is never to be realized in this world, I’m praying to God to give us the strength to be patient until the love comes to realize in the Paradise full of Happiness. Just wait like how the Sun and the Moon has been waiting for each other from the beginning of the world until the End of the World. Whenever you are tired of waiting, think of how long the Sun and the Moon have been waiting.


Remember Allah’s promise to those who are patient;


And those who remain patient, seeking their Lord’s Countenance, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend out of that which We have bestowed on them, secretly and openly, and defend evil with good, for such there is a good end. (Ar-Rad, 22)


And also, for the unmarried couple who are so in love with each other, there’s a boundary of which you can’t cross. Never to touch what is not yours. Never take it too far until you are lost with love of lust until it became Nafsu Cinta. Just like the Moon and the Sun, they wait with patient for the time, so you should do the same. Your time will come when you tie the knot and you can touch whatever that is yours. Love is a form a Test from Allah. The lovey dovey thing would be for nothing and fruitless if it’s not purify with Ikhlas only for Allah’s sake. You want to harvest the sweetest fruit (pious children) coming out of your love. If you fail the test of love, then you would not reach the Paradise, do you? Patient is definitely what being tested in love. And those who are pious should be able to excel the test well. First Class Honors maybe.


Do you think that you will enter Paradise before Allah tests those of you who fought (in His Cause) and (also) tests those who are As-Sabirun (the patient)? (Ali-Imran, 142)


A woman is only halal for you when you marry her. Even if you change your Facebook status countless time, announcing you are now in relationship with that girl or that boy, nothing ever changes between you and her. Both of you remains ‘Haram’ for each other. So does engagement. Engagement would not automatically says she is ultimately yours. As I said before, marriage is the only way that you and your loved ones can act, live and love as a couple.


Allah Said in Al-Quran :


Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).(Al-Isra’, 32)


And the Prophet described what is the form adultery from the Hadith


Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the Prophet, who said, “Allah has written for the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation.” (Sahih Bukhari)


Love is a funny thing, can be dangerous, can be tricky, can be a-long-tiring-endless-waiting, but if you love the right way you will surely touch the Heaven of Earth and the Heaven in the Hereafter.

***


sangat sweet kan? to think of the sun and moon as lovers..

and the truth as what Allah has promised in the Quran.

may we all find our true love.. ;) and Allah knows best..

“Clouds may come, but clouds must go, and they all have a silver lining.

for behind each cloud you know, the sun, or moon is shining..”

A place to pray

Assalamualaikum, peace be upon you.

During a QnA session after a dars (class) in the mosque, the imam came to a question regarding the prayers. Since in France accomplishing the five prayers a day is not as easy as in Muslim countries, the makmum wanted to know if he could just simplify a prayer by just doing signs of the gestures.

So the imam said certainly its not the best way. The best way is of course to pray properly during the specific time lapse. He also explained about regrouping the prayers (jama'). I personally love this part of his answer:

If people could find a place to smoke, then I'm sure you are more than able to find a place to pray.

SubhanAllah.

We are lucky to be a part of Muhammad's (PBUH) community. Why?
Because one of our advantages is that Allah has prescribe to His Prophet (PBUH) the Earth as a place of worship and purification. (Nope, no other community was granted this before us!)

Meaning? We can pray, praise and be grateful to Allah no matter where we are on Earth. Why on? Because in means that it would be too late.

American Muslims

Pakistan's cricket team

A prayer takes about five minutes. Allah's land is big. Common', let's pray! Allahu Akbar!


PS: There are of course several opinions regarding this topic. Do not hesitate to ask the nearest imam or ulama' near you! :)




Tun Fatimah

Serunding lagi...?!

Peace be upon you good samaritans.

:-)

Alhamdulillah, Im given another chance to share my thoughts with you. These past few weeks I've been kept busy mostly with my studies. Yes, even heroes have to study. How would I save people if I'm not smart enough. How would people respect a hero if he/she is not intelligent enough? Right?
(Besides, Uncle Alfred and my dad kept me grounded in my room anyhow.)

Remember in my last entry, I talked about my hobbies. I love reading and..cooking,right?

This time,InsyaAllah I'll talk about one of the best nikmat in the world:

Glorious Food.

Food...
Just enough would be a pleasure. But too much can be a disaster!

How many of you around here have the experience of leaving our comfort home to pursue your studies? Raise your hands!

2nd question, how many of us have been forced by *esp our mothers to bekal serunding? Packets and packets of serunding...
Sounds familiar?

3rd question, raise your hands to those who has never manage to finish their share of serunding(s)..? And when you come home for holidays..and there it is new packets of serunding just waiting to be packed and embark on another journey ..

This time insyaAllah I'd like to share a method of getting rid (in a good way I mean) of these brown bits and pieces of meat. Throwing it away is a big NO-NO. No bazir² ok. Think of those in Palestine..In Haiti (read the news,they'd kill for food!) Serunding is God's grace upon us..Appreciate it. Here we go~

Operation Begone Serunding!
Credits to Alfred,the buttler,the cook,the babysitter

Option one: Re-cook it

1) Blend as much serunding as you wish, mix it with some water. Blend it until it becomes some-sort of a thick liquid.

2) Heat it in your wok with the meat of your preference; fish, red-meat ,chicken as you wish.
* You're advised to not mix a chicken/meat serunding with fish meat. And vice versa.
(Rasulullah's teaching, and its scientifically prooven that mixing land and sea meat can be detrimental to your brain & mind, which also explains why animals that lives in these 2 world are haram to certain religions- google it)

3) Add some santan (coconut milk) for flavour and some peppers,salt,honey (not sugar).Basically anything you think would add up the taste.
*Honey is recomended by Yours Truly Himself as a remedy for mankind (An-Nahl 16:69)

4) Add some carrots to make it a well-balanced meal.

Voilà!


Just 4 steps

Option two: 4 steps is too much? Try this;

1) Pack it in a your bagpack/plastic bag/bagpack
2) Give it to the starving/homeless people in the street.

;-)

Well I hope that helps.
Til next time.


Practice yourself in little things, then proceed to greater

Zero to Hero : Sabrul Jamil

Assalammualaikum

Maka bersabarlah kamu dengan sabar yang baik. (QS Al-Ma'arij; 70:5)

Sabrul Jamil = sabar yang baik. Maka bagaimana sabar yang baik itu?

-------------------------

hah, dah hadam elok² soalan tentang Nabi Yusuf tu? InsyaAllah, ini adalah episod terakhir perkongsian Hang Kasturi tentang buku Zero to Hero. moga-moga, Hang Kasturi sikit-sikit dapat gerakkan hati readers untuk baca buku ni sepenuhnya nanti.

okay, back to the topic. nak dengar jawapan skema nya tak? rasanya, readers semua dapat teka jawapannya.

ini petikan buku Zero to Hero :

Shaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah berkata,

Kesabaran Nabi Yusuf as untuk tidak menuruti kemauan permaisuri tuannya lebih sempurna daripada kesabarannya ketika ia dicampakkan oleh saudara-saudaranya dalam lubang sumur (perigi). (yes!! tahniah kepada anonymous!!)

Sebab, kesabarannya untuk menjauhi maksiat adalah sabar karena pilihannya. Sebab, ia merupakan kemampuan untuk memerangi nafsu lebih-lebih dalam kondisi adanya berbagai faktor pendukung yang menguatkan baginya untuk melayani keinginannya.

1) Karena pada saat itu ia adalah seorang pemuda, gelora mudanya untuk melakukan tentu sangat kuat.

2)Sebab, dia adalah bujang belum memiliki wanita pedamping yang dapat menurunkan gejolak syahwatnya.

3)Dia juga orang asing di tempat itu, dan biasanya orang asing tidak punya malu untuk berbuat sesuatu di daerah perantauannya dari perbuatan yang biasanya dia merasa malu ketika bersama teman atau keluarga.

4)Dia adalah seorang budak pada saat itu, dan tentu seorang budak tidak berapa mampu untuk kontrol dirinya, lebih-lebih lagi wanita yang mengajaknya adalah cantik dan mempunyai kedudukan.

5)Tambah lagi, ketika itu tidak ada seorang pengawas.

maka kesabarannya ini tentu lebih sempurna daripada ketika dia dicampak ke dalam sumur kerana kesabarannya waktu itu bukan atas dasar pilihannya tetapi kenyataan yang harus ia terima.

hah! baca elok-elok, pelan-pelan dan hadam baik-baik! sabar kerana pilihan, lebih-lebih lagi dalam melawan nafsu sendiri, mesti dapat ganjaran yang sangatttttt besar dari Allah, kan?

okaylah, semoga readers semua dapat manfaat dari perkongsian buku yang bagi Hang Kasturi sangat extra-ordinary!

salam semua!

Menjadi penting itu baik, tetapi menjadi baik itu lebih penting.

Bintang

Salam.

Harini Blossom nak cerita pasal bintang.Sapa kat sini yang xsuka bintang??Ade ke?mesti suka kann..kenapa nak crita pasal bintang eh?haaa...sebenarnya Blossom baru je baca pasal bintang ni.bila baca,rasa kagum sangatttt..tu la nak kongsi ngan korang suma.hehe

Tau x macam mana bintang tu lahir?

Tau x?sepa tau???angkat tangan!!

xtau?hehe meh Blossom cerita(semangat nih!)
kalo nak tahu,kat galaxy bima sakti kita tuh,ada gaz interstellar yang kebanyakannya dari atom2 hidrogen.tarikan graviti buatkan atom2 ni tertarik sesama dorang dan bertindak balas.jadiklah satu awan gaz hidrogen..

Lepas tu,bila berat awan tu dah bertambah sampaila berat tertentu,jadiklah bintang...gitu je sebenarnya ceritanya.cuma yang buatkan bintang ni menarik,di tengah2 bintang tu,ada tindak balas nuklear tau supaya dia dapat hidup.so,Blossom fikir kalolah bintang ni perlukan fusion tu untuk hidup,ertinya setiap benda yang bernyawa tu pun macam tu jugak.contohnya,tumbuh-tumbuhan kena ada cahaya matahari untuk berfotosintesis untuk hidup.manusia?makanan,minuman dan mungkin juga wang.tapi macam mana dengan dalamannya pulak?kalo kita rasa sedih,gelisah,risau..macam mana nak hidupkan kembali mood tu ek?haa ertinya jiwa kita juga kena ada makanannya untuk terus bersemangatlah kan?^^

Pernah fikir x apa fungsi bintang tu?kalo orang dulo-dulo,diorang jadikan bintang sebagai penunjuk jalan.lagi?kalo dulo-dulo jugak,itulah penghibur hati.iye la..nak tengok apa,TV pon tiada.lagi apa ekkk?haaa jangan fikir bintang wujud malam je tau,siang pun ada.Matahari tu pun sebenarnya bintang tau.ertinya,salah satu fungsi bintang ni,dia menerangi siang dan jugak malam.hebatkan??^^kalo nak kaitkan dengan manusia,apa fungsi kita ek?xkanla bangun pagi,pergi kelas or pergi kerja,balik makan and tidur je hari-hari?MESTI ada fungsi kita diciptakan.cuma kita je yang xsedar.

Subhanallah.Besar sungguh ciptaan Allah.
