Surah Al -Waqiah >> Amalan selepas magrib

42. In fierce hot wind and boiling water,
43. And shadow of black smoke,
44. (That shadow) neither cool, nor (even) good,
45. Verily, before that, they indulged in luxury,
46. And were persisting in great sin (joining partners in worship along with All�h, committing murders and other crimes, etc.)
47. And they used to say: "When we die and become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be resurrected?
48. "And also our forefathers?"
49. Say (O Muhammad ): "(Yes) verily, those of old, and those of later times.
50. "All will surely be gathered together for appointed Meeting of a known Day.
51. "Then moreover, verily, you the erring-ones, the deniers (of Resurrection)!
52. "You verily will eat of the trees of Zaqq�m.
53. "Then you will fill your bellies therewith,
54. "And drink boiling water on top of it,
55. "So you will drink (that) like thirsty camels!"
56. That will be their entertainment on the Day of Recompense!
57. We created you, then why do you believe not?
58. Then tell Me (about) the human semen that you emit.
59. Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or are We the Creator?
60. We have decreed death to you all, and We are not unable,
61. To transfigure you and create you in (forms) that you know not.
62. And indeed, you have already known the first form of creation (i.e. the creation of Adam), why then do you not remember or take heed?
63. Tell Me! The seed that you sow in the ground.
64. Is it you that make it grow, or are We the Grower?
65. Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry pieces, and you would be regretful (or left in wonderment).
66. (Saying): "We are indeed Mughram�n (i.e. ruined or lost the money without any profit, or punished by the loss of all that we spend for cultivation, etc.)! [See Tafsir Al-Qurtub�, Vol. 17, Page 219]
67. "Nay, but we are deprived!"
68. Tell Me! The water that you drink.
69. Is it you who cause it from the rainclouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come down?
70. If We willed, We verily could make it salt (and undrinkable), why then do you not give thanks (to All�h)?
71. Tell Me! The fire which you kindle,
72. Is it you who made the tree thereof to grow, or are We the Grower?
73. We have made it a Reminder (for the Hell-fire, in the Hereafter); and an article of use for the travellers (and all the others, in this world).
74. Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
75. So I swear by Maw�qi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse).
76. And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.
77. That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Qur'�n).
78. In a Book well-guarded (with All�h in the heaven i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahf�z).
79. Which (that Book with All�h) none can touch but the purified (i.e. the angels).
80. A Revelation (this Qur'�n) from the Lord of the 'Alam�n (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
81. Is it such a talk (this Qur'an) that you (disbelievers) deny?
82. And instead (of thanking All�h) for the provision He gives you, on the contrary, you deny Him (by disbelief)!
83. Then why do you not (intervene) when (the soul of a dying person) reaches the throat?
84. And you at the moment are looking on,
85. But We (i.e. Our angels who take the soul) are nearer to him than you, but you see not, [Tafsir At-Tabar�, Vol.27, Page 209]
86. Then why do you not, if you are exempt from the reckoning and recompense (punishment, etc.)
87. Bring back the soul (to its body), if you are truthful?
88. Then, if he (the dying person) be of the Muqarrab�n (those brought near to All�h),
89. (There is for him) rest and provision, and a Garden of delights (Paradise).
90. And if he (the dying person) be of those on the Right Hand,
91. Then there is safety and peace (from the Punishment of All�h) for (you as you are from) those on the Right Hand.
92. But if he (the dying person) be of the denying (of the Resurrection), the erring (away from the Right Path of Isl�mic Monotheism),
93. Then for him is entertainment with boiling water.
94. And burning in Hell-fire.
95. Verily, this! This is an absolute Truth with certainty.
96. So glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.

Weekend horse riding
Horseback riding is our favorite past time.There's nine of us in the family and all of us love riding.Sam( For Samdolphin) is the family horse,stable close by our home.So, Sam practically lives with us.We get to see him,take care of him and ride him almost everyday.So,unlike,some other horses, he is totally and completely spoiled.He is,no doubt at all, another member of the family.
He relates and acts differently towards each one of us,with my husband,he usually put up his rebellious act,with Anas, my 14 years old son,Sam is like a great buddy,he would do just about anything that Anas asked him to do.Anas enjoys bareback riding.Nura my youngest daughter,would climbed on Sam;s neck and he would swing her from left to right.
Whenever,I am riding Sam,we would go as far as we could around the neighborhood,exploring new trails and and often,I would stopped at some of Sam's favorite spots, where he could grazed on some patches of grass.Sam loves palm oil that is not fully riped,so whenever,we come across palm oils,I would not missed giving Sam his special treats.He loves chocolates,ice-cream,cakes and pumpkin pie too....
Sam has his special ways with everyone in the family.
This video is done by Nura, she did it all by herself....there's more in my other blogs.

HEALTH GUIDELINES
ISLAMIC MEDICINE
(Edited by Shahid Athar , M. D.)
Health Guidelines From Qura'n And Sunnah
Shahid Athar, M.D.
This article is not about the glory of Islamic Medicine of past 1000 years which produced great physicians like al-Razi and Ibn-Sina. This article is also not about virtues of honey, the center point of discussion in most of the articles written these days on Islamic Medicine. This also is not an article saying that since science has now confirmed certain Quranic statements, therefore Quran must be a divine book. To the contrary, we begin with the belief that all Quranic statements are true, science has confirmed some of them in the past, and will confirm the rest in the future. If science has not confirmed it yet, it needs to examine its data more deeply, or may be repeat the experiment, rather than question the authenticity of Quran.
The Quran is not a book of medicine or of health sciences,but in it there are hints which lead to guidelines in health and diseases. Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H.) has set as an example to the mankind so his traditions in matters of health and personal hygienic are also a guide for his followers.
We start our discussion with the following verse:
"Everything good that happens to you (O Man) is from God, everything bad that happens to you is from your own actions".
4:79
Therefore, the pathology (disease) is defined by the famous pathologist William Boyd as physiology (natural state) gone wrong. It is our tampering with natural process that leads to unnatural outcomes.
Human body can be compared to some degree with a machine created by man. The fascinating tape recorder has many mechanical and electronic parts but life does not come to it till electrical current is passed through. Similarly, in the components of human body there arc the anatomic parts and fluids but also the spirit (the soul). As the care of a machine requires keeping it clean, giving it some rest, and passing electricity of proper voltage, and using it carefully and wisely, so are the requirement for the body and of the body as whole.
Before we come to the physical care of human body, let us talk about the spiritual care.
The spiritual care involves the acts of worship. The problem is that Iman cannot be translated into belief, nor Salaat into prayer, Nor Wadu into washing hand, face and feet nor; Sawm into fasting nor Sakat into charity nor Haii into pilgrimage to Mecca. T'hey are entitles in themselves.
A. Iman:The belief in God is the first and foremost important need for spiritual stability. Belief in God includes belief in his aU attributes, his angels, his books, the day of judgement, the heaven and hell and belief that - all good and bad is within his reach. Imam Rumi has called faith being superior to prayers. In illness, according to Imam Ghazai, the awareness of God increases and man becomes closer to God by realizing his own weakness. Without true belief, neither our prayer, nor charity, nor fasting nor pilgrimage will be accepted. The essence of belief is to rid ourselves of all false Gods around us, or within us, and to worship no one except God alone.
B.Salat: There are three health aspects of Salat
I. Wadu: Washing all the exposed areas of the body, hand, feet, face, mouth, nostrils etc. 5 times a day is a healthy preventive procedure. Hand washing is being emphasized more and more in hospitals now in order to prevent spread of germs. However non-Muslims did not know that hand- washing is so important - it has been ordered in Qu'ran (5:7) 1400 years ago. And for complete cleanliness bathing is advised (4:43)
2. Recitation of Quran: Has a healing effect on body, mind and heart. These healing effects are due to the effect of sound (Echo) and the meaning. The letter Alif resounds unto the Echoes to heart and the letter YA resounds unto Echoes to the pineal gland in the brain.
"O Mankind: There has come to you a direction front your Lord and a healing for the (disease) in your hearts - and for those who believe a guidance and mercy !!"
10:57
"We sent down in the Quran that which is healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss". The movement in Salaat are mild, uniform, and involve all muscles and joints. The caloric output is desired to keep the energy balance."
17:82
C: Zakat (Charity): The word itself means purification and growth. Here it is meant to imply the purification of legitimately earned wealth. Many of our crimes are committed with money or for love of money, and in the love of money one becomes violent in behavior.
And he is violent in his love of wealth:
100:8
In Islam the ownership of wealth belongs to God. We are the disposer of that trust. Therefore, this concept establishes peace at heart and our behavior in the loss of money or unusual gain, In either way, we thank God.
D. Sawm: The Islamic fasting: Islamic fasting is prescribed as way training of our mind, and body in self-restraints.
"O you who believe is prescribed to you, as it was prescribed
to those before you, so that you can learn self-restraint."
2:183
Therefore, during the period of fast one may not only get rid of nibbling food, coffee, smoking but also of anger and excessive sexual passion.
In fact, the fast not only gives rest to stomach but also stabilizes the secretion of harmones which control our behavior.
E. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca): The morale is Prophet lbrahim's submission and absolute surrender to God's will, the opportunity for repentance, and the social and political gathering of the Ummah depecting brotherhood, and equality. However this can be used for programming and testing us for physical endurance, a requirement for all able men and women. The long walks, the heat, the sun, the thirst, the physical exercise, etc. is to remind us of the day of judgement. We should perform Hajj when young and physically well rather than wait for the old age. We should keep ourselves in good shape before and years after the Hajj.
After describing pillars of faith as a basis for the spiritual health, let us talk about the maintenance of the physical structure in which the spirit resides.
(A) Nutrition: Allah loves his creations so much that he is concerned even with what we eat and put in our body. Our muscles, bones, lungs, liver, brain and secretions are made from the raw product we feed it. If we provide the factory with junk raw products, the factory will not produce tough bones, strong muscles, good pump (heart) and clean pipes (vessels).
"O you mankind: Eat of what is lawful and good on earth.
2: 168
"Eat of the things which god has provided for you lawful
and good, but fear God in whom you believe". Forbidden
to us are dead meat, blood and flesh of swine (5:4) and intoxicants (5:93 and 2:219).
5:91
Science so far has not confirmed any beneficial effects to the prohibitions.
The blood and meat of the dead could be full of germs and other harmful elements like antibodies. The pork meat is high in cholesterol, salt and may have worms, and alcohol and other intoxicants cloud our mentation, our inhibition and interfere with our normal capacity of judging good and bad. Therefore, a person under the influence of alcohol may want to take off his dress, engage in unlawful sexual acts, become violent and abusive without even knowing what he is doing. On medical damages due to alcohol, whole books have been written.
The second component in nutrition (after Permission of the lawful and probation of the unlawful) is the moderation in the lawful.
Obesity is a major American tragedy, a form of malnutrition, affecting million of people, of all age. 99% of obesity is due to overeating. Allah advises as to be moderate in quantity.
" But waste not by excess for God loves not the wasters."
7:31
"Eat of the good things we have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest my wrath should justly descend on you, and those whom descends my wrath do perish indeed."
20:81
According to one Hadith of Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H.) we are advised to leave one third of our stomach empty after finishing the meal. I understood this Hadith only when I broke my blender/mixer in the kitchen after stuffing it to the top and then turning the machine on. After all, what is stomach, if not a blender, grinder, mixer and food processor, all in one !!
Certain types of food i.e. fruits are especially emphasized in Quran (36:57, 43:73, 16:67, 50:68)
"And the fruits of date palm and grapes you get wholesome
drink and nutrition: Behold in this is a sign for those
who are wise."
16:67
Fruits are low in calorie, high in vitamins and minerals, and fiber and sugar is fructose and not sucrose. In a recent study by Dr. Anderson fructose has been shown to cause no rise in blood sugar and even lowers the high blood sugar of diabetics. Honey is fructose.
(3) Cleanliness: Allah is pure and likes purity. He is clean and likes cleanliness. Therefore, cleanliness of body and mind is stressed in Quran (4:43, 5:7). Miswak (brushing teeth) is not a new invention of last 200 years. This was stressed as part of our daily routine by Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H.). He also advised us on flossing (khilal) as now being advised by all the dentist. In fact, he is known to have said that if it was not hardship for Muslims, he would have advised miswak before each prayer i.e. 5 times a day. Cleanliness of our mind is prerequisite for total creaminess (body and mind).
Value of exercise in maintaining health
Though we do not find much in Quran about specific exercise, recommendation, the Prophet's (P.B.U.H.) Iife was full of recommendations. advised all Muslims to teach their children swimming, archery and horse riding. He, himself used to walk at fast pace even race with his wife, Ayesha (Ra). Most importantly, he used to work with his hands whether at home, in the kitchen, or with his companions collecting wood for fire, or fighting during wars etc.
It is a pity that Muslim men and women have become sedentary and, I because of excessive consumption of starches, obesity has crept into them. We should keep ourselves fit to go for jihad, and feel healthy in peacetime.
The State of disease
Many of the common chronic illnesses, coronary heart disease, hyper-tension, diabetes, peptic ulcer disease, obesity and depression have also common man-made etiology, that is rich food, too much food, too much salt, too much sugar, smoking, stress and alcoholism. If we give up excessive salt, sugar and cholesterol from our diet, and do not drink and smoke, and be active, it is possible that - the pump (heart) won't be rusted from inside.
What should a Muslim do when disease is confirmed
A. Accept it as a will of God as kaffara for his sin, and ask him to remove the affliction.
"If God touches thee with affliction, none can remove it- but He: if He touches thee with happiness He has power over all thing."
6:17
B. Many Muslims won't seek early medical attention, contrary to the Prophet's practice and teaching. In Christianity there is a sect believing in faith healing who have let their members die rather than go to the physician.
Usamah Bin Shareek (Ra) Reports "I was with the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and some Arabs came to him asking "O Messenger of Allah, do we take medicine for any disease.-"-He said, "Yes, 0 You servants of Allah take medicine as Allah (SWT) has not created a disease without creating a cure except for one. They asked which one, he replied old age'.
C. Increase your knowledge of health and disease, of medications and side effects. This knowledge is not a monopoly of doctors. You can have it, and use it in preventing the illness, recognizing it early when symptoms appear, seeking early medical attention, then monitoring the course of disease, implementing the treatment (i.e. knowledge of diet for diabetics) and recognizing side effects of the medicine. Those of my patients who do as the above, make me very happy that I can trust their health to them as they do trust it to me.
In summary, our healthy body is a gift from God, we are the trustees, we should not misuse it, nor provide wrong raw product for the factory. and should keep superb maintenance of this delicate and sensitive machine, in order to enjoy it will be the container of our soul.

Health Guidelines From Qura'n And Sunnah
Shahid Athar, M.D.
This article is not about the glory of Islamic Medicine of past 1000 years which produced great physicians like al-Razi and Ibn-Sina. This article is also not about virtues of honey, the center point of discussion in most of the articles written these days on Islamic Medicine. This also is not an article saying that since science has now confirmed certain Quranic statements, therefore Quran must be a divine book. To the contrary, we begin with the belief that all Quranic statements are true, science has confirmed some of them in the past, and will confirm the rest in the future. If science has not confirmed it yet, it needs to examine its data more deeply, or may be repeat the experiment, rather than question the authenticity of Quran.
The Quran is not a book of medicine or of health sciences,but in it there are hints which lead to guidelines in health and diseases. Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H.) has set as an example to the mankind so his traditions in matters of health and personal hygienic are also a guide for his followers.
We start our discussion with the following verse:
"Everything good that happens to you (O Man) is from God, everything bad that happens to you is from your own actions".
4:79
Therefore, the pathology (disease) is defined by the famous pathologist William Boyd as physiology (natural state) gone wrong. It is our tampering with natural process that leads to unnatural outcomes.
Human body can be compared to some degree with a machine created by man. The fascinating tape recorder has many mechanical and electronic parts but life does not come to it till electrical current is passed through. Similarly, in the components of human body there arc the anatomic parts and fluids but also the spirit (the soul). As the care of a machine requires keeping it clean, giving it some rest, and passing electricity of proper voltage, and using it carefully and wisely, so are the requirement for the body and of the body as whole.
Before we come to the physical care of human body, let us talk about the spiritual care.
The spiritual care involves the acts of worship. The problem is that Iman cannot be translated into belief, nor Salaat into prayer, Nor Wadu into washing hand, face and feet nor; Sawm into fasting nor Sakat into charity nor Haii into pilgrimage to Mecca. T'hey are entitles in themselves.
A. Iman:The belief in God is the first and foremost important need for spiritual stability. Belief in God includes belief in his aU attributes, his angels, his books, the day of judgement, the heaven and hell and belief that - all good and bad is within his reach. Imam Rumi has called faith being superior to prayers. In illness, according to Imam Ghazai, the awareness of God increases and man becomes closer to God by realizing his own weakness. Without true belief, neither our prayer, nor charity, nor fasting nor pilgrimage will be accepted. The essence of belief is to rid ourselves of all false Gods around us, or within us, and to worship no one except God alone.
B.Salat: There are three health aspects of Salat
I. Wadu: Washing all the exposed areas of the body, hand, feet, face, mouth, nostrils etc. 5 times a day is a healthy preventive procedure. Hand washing is being emphasized more and more in hospitals now in order to prevent spread of germs. However non-Muslims did not know that hand- washing is so important - it has been ordered in Qu'ran (5:7) 1400 years ago. And for complete cleanliness bathing is advised (4:43)
2. Recitation of Quran: Has a healing effect on body, mind and heart. These healing effects are due to the effect of sound (Echo) and the meaning. The letter Alif resounds unto the Echoes to heart and the letter YA resounds unto Echoes to the pineal gland in the brain.
"O Mankind: There has come to you a direction front your Lord and a healing for the (disease) in your hearts - and for those who believe a guidance and mercy !!"
10:57
"We sent down in the Quran that which is healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss". The movement in Salaat are mild, uniform, and involve all muscles and joints. The caloric output is desired to keep the energy balance."
17:82
C: Zakat (Charity): The word itself means purification and growth. Here it is meant to imply the purification of legitimately earned wealth. Many of our crimes are committed with money or for love of money, and in the love of money one becomes violent in behavior.
And he is violent in his love of wealth:
100:8
In Islam the ownership of wealth belongs to God. We are the disposer of that trust. Therefore, this concept establishes peace at heart and our behavior in the loss of money or unusual gain, In either way, we thank God.
D. Sawm: The Islamic fasting: Islamic fasting is prescribed as way training of our mind, and body in self-restraints.
"O you who believe is prescribed to you, as it was prescribed
to those before you, so that you can learn self-restraint."
2:183
Therefore, during the period of fast one may not only get rid of nibbling food, coffee, smoking but also of anger and excessive sexual passion.
In fact, the fast not only gives rest to stomach but also stabilizes the secretion of harmones which control our behavior.
E. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca): The morale is Prophet lbrahim's submission and absolute surrender to God's will, the opportunity for repentance, and the social and political gathering of the Ummah depecting brotherhood, and equality. However this can be used for programming and testing us for physical endurance, a requirement for all able men and women. The long walks, the heat, the sun, the thirst, the physical exercise, etc. is to remind us of the day of judgement. We should perform Hajj when young and physically well rather than wait for the old age. We should keep ourselves in good shape before and years after the Hajj.
After describing pillars of faith as a basis for the spiritual health, let us talk about the maintenance of the physical structure in which the spirit resides.
(A) Nutrition: Allah loves his creations so much that he is concerned even with what we eat and put in our body. Our muscles, bones, lungs, liver, brain and secretions are made from the raw product we feed it. If we provide the factory with junk raw products, the factory will not produce tough bones, strong muscles, good pump (heart) and clean pipes (vessels).
"O you mankind: Eat of what is lawful and good on earth.
2: 168
"Eat of the things which god has provided for you lawful
and good, but fear God in whom you believe". Forbidden
to us are dead meat, blood and flesh of swine (5:4) and intoxicants (5:93 and 2:219).
5:91
Science so far has not confirmed any beneficial effects to the prohibitions.
The blood and meat of the dead could be full of germs and other harmful elements like antibodies. The pork meat is high in cholesterol, salt and may have worms, and alcohol and other intoxicants cloud our mentation, our inhibition and interfere with our normal capacity of judging good and bad. Therefore, a person under the influence of alcohol may want to take off his dress, engage in unlawful sexual acts, become violent and abusive without even knowing what he is doing. On medical damages due to alcohol, whole books have been written.
The second component in nutrition (after Permission of the lawful and probation of the unlawful) is the moderation in the lawful.
Obesity is a major American tragedy, a form of malnutrition, affecting million of people, of all age. 99% of obesity is due to overeating. Allah advises as to be moderate in quantity.
" But waste not by excess for God loves not the wasters."
7:31
"Eat of the good things we have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest my wrath should justly descend on you, and those whom descends my wrath do perish indeed."
20:81
According to one Hadith of Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H.) we are advised to leave one third of our stomach empty after finishing the meal. I understood this Hadith only when I broke my blender/mixer in the kitchen after stuffing it to the top and then turning the machine on. After all, what is stomach, if not a blender, grinder, mixer and food processor, all in one !!

drink and nutrition: Behold in this is a sign for those

16:67

ZAIN BHIKA - GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH
ZAIN BHIKA - HAVE YOU HEARD
Each day we are reminded
and each day we say
there�s not much that we can do
it seems so far away
So we live our lives in silence
pretending not to hear
the voices of our people
The cry is so so clear
Why do we stand by spectating
while our brothers cry jihad?
We are bound by one conviction:
we believe in Allah
Chorus:
Have you heard of Kosova, of Afghanistan?
Have you heard of Palestine [2nd chorus: Bosnia]
of Chechan?
Have you heard of all these people
persecuted in their land?
Do you know that all these people are dying for Islam?
Have you heard, have you heard
have you heard?
Each day is like another
Nothing seems to change
Today he'll lose his brother
Tomorrow will be the same
Yet his faith makes him stronger
he�s come so so far
The pain in his heart is eased
by his love for Allah
O I envy you my brother
in adversity you pray
You know that heaven awaits you
at the end of this day
Chorus

What's happening to the world ?
This planet, is it still a great place to live in or has it become a place full of animosities,hatred,hardship and sufferings?
Mass medias bring to us news of war every single day. There's war in almost every continent of this earth. Each awakening day we are served with news of war, war and more wars.
Never ending conflicts that has taken thousands and thousands of lives. Sufferings of the human kind has gone to far extremes and beyond belief. Serious questions , have to be raised , are all these for justified causes ,what have become to the human race or have we all evolved to become another species of being ?
A disturbing thought does cross the mind, how far are these phenomenas going to go on? How worse could things get? What kind of future could we promise the generations to come ?Is there hope for the world , to be a really peaceful place to live in?
A world where people of all nations and race, people of all religions and beliefs, people of all languages,culture and traditions, have the basics love and respect and understanding towards one another. A world that have respect for the human life and human rights.A world that strives to ensure that every single being in this world can have a fair chance of living a decent life.Or is this too ideal or too unrealistic of a hope, to hope for? Are you going to be laughed at, for dreaming such a dream?Or are going to be called a naive , a fool ?
The fact, that the world is no longer a peaceful,promising place for human race, is staring right at us and we can no longer deny this fact.Or is mankind really on the brink of a precipices, waiting for the right time for its ultimate destruction?
These all sounds so scary, so depressing,so hopeless, as if nothing could be done, but if we search deep inside ourselves we will realized that the miracle of change could start right within each and everyone of us. Positive changes no matter how small it might be,would contribute positive effects to the human kind.
Prejudice is known to be the cause of all sorts of rivalries and hostilities, if these could be removed than the impact would bring people closer and more tolerant.Greed is yet another monster, that eats up every good and noble qualities of mankind. When greed enters the heart of a human race it will lead to destroying each other , thus keeping greed at a far distance would definitely has it's rewards.
There's so much more that we can bring ourselves to ponder and change. Bring changes in yourself and you would definitely contribute to changing the world. If every human being, no matter who they are,where they are, what position they are in, strive to change themselves for the better , there will definitely be hope for the world to be a better place .What do you think? Agree ? Do not agree? Nonsense?
Whatever it may be,there is nothing wrong,to put yourself in the "pause" mode for a while, to ponder and reflect.
We could use whatever time that work fo us to reflect,while doing our workout, we could reflect, while taking our morning walk, you can reflect, before going to bed, while eating ,how about while stuck in traffic jams, under the shower , commuting in the subways, muslims are encourage to wake up during the night to meditate,ponder and pray.
The point to all of these, is to bring ourselves to the awareness of our existence in this WORLD. Are we a significant being or just another insignificant life form.
One person could change a nation and that same person could destroy the world. Which state are we in? REFLECT BEFORE YOU ACT........ THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS because OUR ACTIONS EFFECT THE OTHER OCCUPANTS OF THIS WORLD DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.May our existence be that of a good one , to this world and to mankind.

There's sooo much that I want to say to you, but most of all is," I adore and love each and everyone of you"
Mother's love stretches far and wide,across all boundaries..........
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: A person came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Who among the people is most deserving my companionship (of a kind treatment from me?) He said: Your mother. He, again, said: Then who (is the next one)? He said: It is your mother (who deserves the best treatment from you). He said: Then who (is the next one)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is your mother. He (again) said: Then who? Thereupon he (The Prophet (peace be upon him)) said: It is your father.
)
(Teacher): “The Prophet Muhammad (sws) told us that we must obey Allah and His messenger at all times. But who else did he tell us to listen to, and be close to?
(Children): “My Mother!”
Who should you give your love to?
Your respect and your honour to?
