Tolong la baca artikel ini dan renungkan..malam pertama kita di alam kubur....jgn dok ingat malam pertama yang lain jer!!!





Hari ni aku nak ajak kengkawan semua membaca sebuah buku yang sangat2 la menariknye. ianya boleh memberi kita kesedaran dan keinsafan agar sentiasa bersedia dan menyediakan amalan kebaikan untuk bekalan kita semasa disanaaaa nanti. Meremang bulu roma dan tetiba sahaja merasakan diri ini begitu hampir dengan malam pertama di alam lain....dan bagaimanakah keadaan kita semasa itu....tetiba sahaja kita akan terus merasa insaf akan diri sendiri, cubalah kita perbaiki apa kekurangan kepada diri kita ini....

(Aku petik dari buku tersebut)

Malam pertama…
Malam itu ialah Malam Pertama Di Alam KuburPernahkah engkau melihat kuburan?
Pernahkah engkau melihat gelapnya kuburan?
Pernahkah engkau melihat sempit dan dalamnya liang lahat?
Pernahkah engkau membayangkan kengerian dan kedahsyatan alam kubur?
Sedarkah engkau bahawa kuburan itu dipersiapkan untukmu dan untuk orang-orang selain darimu?
Bukankah telah silih berganti engkau melihat teman-teman, orang-orang tercinta dan keluarga terdekatmu diusung dari dunia fana ini ke kuburan?


Apakah Malam Pertama Kita di Alam Kubur Nanti Asyik dan Nikmat atau Penuh Derita dan Sengsara? Wahai anak Adam, apa yang telah engkau persiapkan saat malam pertamamu nanti di alam kubur?
Tidakkah engkau tahu, bahawa ia adalah malam yang sangat mengerikan.
Malam yang kerananya para ulama’ serta orang-orang yang soleh menangis dan orang-orang bijak mengeluh. Apa tidaknya, kala itu kita sedang berada di dua persimpangan dan di dunia yang amat berbeza. ”Suatu hari pasti engkau akan tinggalkan tempat tidurmu (di dunia), dan ketenangan pun menghilang darimu. Bila engkau berada di kuburmu pada malam pertama, demi Allah, fikirkanlah untung nasibmu dan apa yang akan terjadi padamu di sana?”


Hari ini kita berada di dunia yang penuh keriangan dengan anak-anak, keluarga dan sahabat handai, dunia yang diterangi dengan lampu-lampu yang pelbagai warna dan sinaran, dunia yang dihidangkan dengan pelbagai makanan yang lazat-lazat serta minuman yang pelbagai, tetapi pada keesokannya kita berada di malam pertama di dalam dunia yang kelam gelap-gelita, lilin-lilin yang menerangi dunia adalah amalan-amalan yang kita lakukan, dunia sempit yang dikelilingi tanah dan bantalnya juga tanah.

Pada saat kita mula membuka mata di malam pertama kita di alam kubur, segala-galanya amat menyedihkan, tempik raung memenuhi ruang yang sempit tapi apakan daya semuanya telah berakhir. Itukah yang kita mahukan? Pastinya tidak bukan? Oleh itu beramallah dan ingatlah sentiasa betapa kita semua akan menempuhi Malam Pertama Di Alam Kubur! Di dalam usahanya mempersiapkan diri menghadapi malam pertama tersebut, adalah diceritakan bahawa Rabi’ bin Khutsaim menggali liang kubur di rumahnya. Bila ia mendapati hatinya keras, maka ia masuk ke liang kubur tersebut.
Ia menganggap dirinya telah mati, lalu menyesal dan ingin kembali ke dunia, seraya membaca ayat:
“Ya Rabbku, kembalikanlah aku semula (ke dunia), agar aku dapat berbuat amal soleh terhadap apa yang telah kutinggalkan (dahulu).” (Surah Al-Mu’minun, ayat 99-100)

Kemudian ia menjawab sendiri; “Kini engkau telah dikembalikan ke dunia wahai Rabi’..”
Dan disebabkan hal tersebut, Rabi’ bin Khutsaim didapati pada hari-hari sesudahnya sentiasa dalam keadaan beribadah dan bertaqwa kepada Allah! Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis atas kematian dan sakaratul maut yang bakal menjemputmu? Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis atas kuburan dan kengerian yang ada di dalamnya? Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis kerana takut akan hausnya di hari penyesalan? Wahai saudaraku, tidakkah engkau menangis kerana takut kepada api Neraka di Hari Kiamat nanti? Sesungguhnya kematian pasti menghancurkan kenikmatan para penikmatnya. Oleh itu, carilah (kenikmatan) hidup yang tidak ada kematian di dalamnya. “Ya Allah, tolonglah kami ketika sakaratul maut!”

Kematian itu pasti. Ia tidak meleset meski hanya sedetik. Ia biasa datang menyerap dengan tiba-tiba. Ia misteri. Kerananya setiap orang semestinya selalu siap. Dan tentu, husnul khatimah harus menjadi pilihan. Untuk mencapai itu, harus melalui jalan syari’at dengan menjalankan segala perintah dan menjauhi segala larangan Allah Ta’ala. Tanpanya, husnul khatimah itu nihil. Bukankah, perahu tak akan berjalan di daratan?
Wahai orang tua yang telah bongkok punggungnya dan dekat ajalnya, apakah engkau telah bersiap-siap menghadapi malam pertama? Wahai pemuda gagah yang bergelimang harta dan sejuta asa, apakah engkau telah bersiap-siap menghadapi malam pertama? Ia adalah malam pertama dengan dua wajah, mungkin menjadi malam pertama bagi malam-malam syurga berikutnya, atau menjadi malam pertama bagi malam-malam neraka selanjutnya.


So, rakan-rakan sekalian, marilah kita ingat akan kematian kerana lambat laun waktu ini akan kita lalui...penuhkan lah dada kita dengan amalan-amalan yang mulia dan berbanyak2 lah membaca Al-Qur'an serta berzikir kepada NYA...dan semoga kita semua melalui jalan-jalan yang tidak berliku sebagaimana kita lalui di dunia yang penuh dengan pancaroba ini...dunia semakin tua, alam semakin uzur, maka kita perlu beringat sesama sendiri akan ketibaan waktu-waktu itu.... waktu yang tidak kita ketahui bile ia akan tiba..dan waktu itulah kita akan meratap kesedihan dan kepiluan yang teramat kerana akan meninggalkan semua hartabenda termasuk orang-orang yang tersayang...waktu itulah yang akan menentukan masa hadapan kita di alam yang lain tanpa ibu bapa, tanpa anak-anak, tanpa saudara, tanpa rakan-rakan...kita hanya akan bergantung kepada keimanan dan ketakwaan kita serta amalan-amalan yang telah kita laksanakan di dunia ini...

Marilah kita sama-sama memanjangkan doa dan sama-sama berkongsi ilmu akhirat....Astaghfirullah,,,,Hentikan lah penyebaran video-video yang tidak senonoh melalui FACEBOOK...kerana ia adalah tontonan ramai dan ramai pengunjung laman FACEBOOK adalah kanak-kanak sekolah...

Semua yang baik datangnya dari Allah Azza Wa Jalla, segala yang kurang baik adalah dari kelemahan diri aku sendiri..

Semoga Allah mengurniakan kita taufik dan hidayah, kebahagiaan yang hakiki, keampunan dan keredhaanya, keimanan dan ketakwaan yang murni dan tulus, ilmu yang bermanfaat, faedah dari umur, barakah dalam semua usaha dan ibadah, diberi husmul khatimah(pengakhiran terbaik)...Doa ku agar Allah memberkati hidup kita dengan teman-teman yang jujur membimbing ke jalan yang lurus dan ikhlas memelihara iman kita,bukan sebaliknya. Semoga Allah melimpahkan salawat dan salam kepada Junjungan Rasulullah S.A.W., keluarga dan para sahabat baginda.....AMIN...

Tiada nasihat yang berharga dari nasihat yang baik...untuk anak-anakku




Wahai anak-anakku,
Jadilah insan yang mulia,
Supaya dapat menjaga tatasusila,
Dalam masyarakat hidup ceria,
Pergi dan datang orang bercerita

Wahai anak-anakku,
Jadilah insan yang mulia,
Supaya dirimu selalu dalam pengawasan,
Amalan,
Tindakan,
Perjalanan lancar ketahuan,
Agak tercicir dan cacat amalan.

Wahai anak-anakku,
Jadilah insan yang bertakwa,
Supaya jasad dan rohani,
Bersih sentiasa
agar terhindar noda dan dosa,
biar badai ribut melanda
jiwa mantap,
roh berkota

Wahai anak-anakku,
Jadilah insan yang amanah
Sebab banyak ranjau duri dan onak mengancah,
Kuatkan hati tidak gundah,
Gelap mata dek habuan impian tersanggah

Wahai anak-anakku,
Jadilah insan yang sabar,
Supaya rasa gelisah terus berputar,
Sifat gelojoh, rakus, haloba, mengumpul harta dan takhta,
Kerana ia punca merana,
Biar hidup serba sederhana,
Namun di kalbu tersemat segala
Mutiara budi,
Bersinar sentiasa,
Jadilah hidupmu mulia
Atau hatimu sebagai syahid.

When getting older....years from now on....

            

Story one:
           An elderly gentleman, had serious hearing problems for a number of years.
           He went to  the doctor and the doctor was
           able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that
           allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
           The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and
           the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must
           be really pleased that you can hear again."
           The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I
           just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've
           changed my will three times!"

Story two:
           Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting
           on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and
           says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches
           and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"
           Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby."
           "Really!? Like a new born baby!?"
           "Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."

Story three:

           An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and
           after eating, the wives left the table and went into the
           kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last
           night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really
           great. I would recommend it very highly."
           The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
           The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is
           the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You
           know . . . The one that's red and has thorns."
           "Do you mean a rose?"
           "Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned
           towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of
           that restaurant we went to last night?"

Story four:
           Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients
           being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse,
           I f ound one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting
           on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he
           didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
           After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me
           wheel him to the elevator.
           On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
           "I don't know," he said. "She's still upstairs in the
           bathroom changing out of her hospital gown."

Story five:
           Couple in their nineties are both having problems
           remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them
           that they're physically okay, but they might want to start
           writing things down to help them remember
           Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up
           from his chair. "Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he
           asks. "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
           "Sure."
           "Don't you think you should write it down so you can
           remember it?" she asks.
           "No, I can remember it."
           "Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you
           should write it down, so's not to forget it?"
           He says, "I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream
           with strawberries."
           "I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget
           that, write it down?" she asks.
           Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can
           remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream -
           I got it, for goodness sake!"
           Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes,
           the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a
           plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
           "Where's my toast?"
Story six:
           A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
           "So I hear you're getting married?"
           "Yep!"
           "Do I know her?"
           "Nope!"
           "This woman, is she good looking?"
           "Not really."
           "Is she a good cook?"
           "Naw, she can't cook too well."
           "Does she have lots of money?"
           "Nope! Poor as a church mouse."
           "Well, then, is she good in bed?"
           "I don't know."
           "Why in the world do you want to marry her then?"
           "Because she can still drive!"

Story seven:
           Three old gals are out walking.
           First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"
           Second one says, "No, it's Thursday!"
           Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer."

Story eight:
           A woman was telling her neighbor, "I just bought a new
           hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's
           state of the art. It's perfect."
           "Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
           "Twelve thirty."

Story nine:
           Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a
           physical.
           A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the
           street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. A couple of
           days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're
           really doing great, aren't you?"
           Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot
           mamma and be cheerful.'"
           The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a
           heart murmur; be careful."

           One more . . .!

           A littl e old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor
           and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool. After
           catching his breath, he ordered a banana split..
           The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"
           "No," he replied, "Arthritis."

So...just wishing that we won't grow old to be like one of them....i don't intend to live until 80's or 90's..it will be hell of a time....hopefully, we are as strong as we are now....at heart, in the soul and mind....if i were to live up to that age,hopefully,  i'll still be a facebooker, a googler, a blogger and whatever in connection with the internets to gain more knowledge and get more information about life and life after death....more tazkirah to be read...more religous books by the side of the bed...May God gives me the full strength to move on and on......amin...

You still have hope


You Still Have Hope




It's a beautiful song from Yolanda Adams...Never give up .....sing it along as you read this beautiful piece of article.....
 


If you can look at the sunset and smile,
then you still have hope.
If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,
then you still have hope.
If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,
then you still have hope.
If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,
then you still have hope.
If you can see the good in other people,
then you still have hope.
If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep,
then you still have hope.
If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder,
then you still have hope.
If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips,
then you still have hope.
If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism,
then you still have hope.
If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
then you still have hope.
If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life,
then you still have hope.
If receiving an unexpected card
or letter still brings a pleasant surprise,
then you still have hope.
If the suffering of others still fills your with pain and frustration,
then you still have hope.
If you refuse to let a friendship die,
or accept that it must end,
then you still have hope.
If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection,
then you still have hope.
If you still buy the ornaments,
put up the best or cook the supper,
then you still have hope.
If you can look to the past and smile,
then you still have hope.
If, when faced with the bad,
when told everything is futile,
you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase..."yeah...BUT.,"
then you still have hope.
Hope is such a marvelous thing.
It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides,
but rarely does it break.
It sustains us when nothing else can.
It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,
when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.
Hope puts a smile on our face
when the heart cannot manage.
Hope puts our feet on the path
when our eyes cannot see it.
Hope moves us to act
when our souls are confused of the direction.
Hope is a wonderful thing,
something to be cherished and nurtured,
and something that will refresh us in return.
And it can be found in each of us,
and it can bring light into the darkest of places.
NEVER LOSE HOPE!

Happiness.....


Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Today i'm happy because i realised how lucky i am for everything that i have. Today i am happy because i don't have any reason not to be.

Being happy doesn't mean you're perfect. It just means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections...


You can't eat happiness. You can't buy it. You can't wear it. You can't drive it, or drink it, or sell it, or steal it. You can't lock it away. You can't negotiate for it. You can't win it, you can't marry it, you can't inherit it, and you can't cheat it. You can't smoke it, or inject it, or rent it or borrow it. You can't campaign for it or beg for it, or talk other people into giving you theirs. You can live happiness. You can create it. You can be it. You can give it to others. You can enjoy it. You can share it. You can claim it. You can have as much as you wish. You can enjoy it as much as you want, at any time, under any circumstance. You can work with it, play with it, worship, travel, eat, and sleep with it.

 

Happiness is yours to live and yours to give, if only you will. It comes from the inside, and the best way to experience it is to get it flowing out. Forget about trying and striving to get happy. Just decide to be happy, and happiness is yours.

People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Treasure every moment that you have and remember that time waits for no one. So, work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no ones watching.




Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Happiness is Not a Pursuit. Forget about the “Pursuit of Happiness”and you’ll become happy. Happiness is a state of mind, regardless of your goals in life or where you are going, you can travel your life's journey happy or unhappy.

When you're happy, remember that there will be a time that you will be sad in the future. When you're sad, remind yourself that you will be happy once again.

Life is too short to be sad, depressed, stressed or just unhappy.i mean look at all the things you've got; your dreams your life and your love your friends and the sunshine up above.

Everythings okay now so what are you worrying about ....stop making this hard on yourself when there are so many reasons to be happy don't worry about the mess today just fix it tomorrow and relax.



The way to happiness:
Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry.
Live simply, except little, give much.
Fill your life with love.
Scatter sunshine.
Forget yourself, think of others.
Do as you would be done by.
Try this for a week, and you'll be surprised."

May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness & happiness forever!!!


stay happy & cheerful

to keep you young at heart

no matter how old you are

just be happy & stay cool

malang memang tidak berbau ek...

Assalamualaikum...to all..


Malang memang tidak berbau..sbb if berbau, tak jadi lah malang tu...this was what happened to us last nite..on the way to meet angah in Kuantan for dinner...our car was hit by a black cow....it was  dark around cherating area...memang totally dark coz there were no cars ahead of us at that time and luckilly too, there were no cars behind us....if not more damage could have happened...





There is always the "nasib baik" that helped us....nasib baik tak macam ni or nasib baik x macam tu...whatever...anyway..everything happened, happens for a reason which we might not know...so, redha jerlah....& bersabo jer lah...well, it was quite a tragedy...teruk gak lah situasi kereta aku....side mirror pecah & tercabut, head lamp pecah, front bonet and the left side of the car was dented...aduiiii...duit lagi...baru jer lepas renew roadtax....sighhhhh....

Nawaitu malam tu memang nak makan bersama dengan semua anak2..so I have to drive back to Kemaman to take another car to drive to Kuantan....while my hubby and 2 of my sons helped to look for the stupid cow...that was the best part of it...kelako gilerzzzzz.....they found the cow  bleeding on the head...but there was no tag on him..so how to look for the owner!!

Alhamdulillah, our dinner was great...although makan kat gerai2 jer tp the togetherness was the best... that's what they wanted..to meet all of them in a bunch...each and everyone has their stories to be shared and from there came the laughter and gigglings!!!

Eventhough, the time was short and brief as Angah is leaving KL 2moro for his theatre programme sponsored by UITM, but all of us still enjoyed our time spent...It's true that being together means being able to share a lot of experiences together....even with the kids...

After this, along is going back to his uni, then nas will be back to Muar and then left achik who is facing his SPM, angah is coming back home after his matriculation & adik starts schooling as usual......well, maybe in May or June, we'll try to make a point to get together again...We'll definitely look for that special time as our time won't be long with them..

Time flew by so fast....for now...we really love to spend our times together and it will just be a waste if we don't do it now....for later, we might not have this golden chance to be with them....either we are gone or they have their own life to spend with their own family in the future...so, better make use of this precious time with them..We cannot expect anything more from them later on...

Family togetherness is a trend that never ever dies....hoping that all of my sons would always keep this in mind...being together is our family motto...we simply love being together, playing, watching movies, laughing and crying together...in good times and bad times...being together doesn't mean we need to go far away from home...at home with a bunch of us is just good enough..."home sweet home"

Life is short so make full use of it...don't waste the life that we had built together...don't ruin the life that we constructed together...rain or shine, let us be in one complete shelter...always remember that every beginning has to end some where on one fine day....so treasure every moment that we have with all of them....As you get older, you better value time more than money, you better value love more than hatred, you better value togetherness more than separation...as your clock is running out , so make the REST of your life, the BEST of your life....that is what i used to say to myself , to my dear beloved hubby and to all my beloved sons....









They are my bodyguards day and nite, they are my spirit, heart and soul, they are my heroes in my lifetime, they are forever my friends, my lovers & my companion in good and bad times....

It's your life....






Life is like a song,
So sing it loud and clear
As we move along
What's important, we keep near

Each turn we take is another chance
And opens up another door
It's up to us if we get up and dance
Or choose to sit on the floor

As we grow older
We start to see
The world is on our shoulder
And reality is telling us
we are not who we want to be

Each day becomes an effort
And we begin sleeping through our lives
There is so much pain and hurt
Everyone stabbing each other with knives

All others become a bad influence
Your life is now at stake
The key to true repentance
Is what we choose to take

You see, life is what we make it
Nothing more and nothing less
Trust is strong but once you break it
Everything becomes a mess

But what good does it do for us to cry
What good does it do to whine
Everybody lives and everybody has to die
We all go through pain and have a set amount of time

All that we can do, is look to the future with hope
That someday things will all make sense
As time goes on, we will find ways to cope
And the pain will no longer seem so intense

We'll put on a smile, sing life's song with love
Hang around for a while
And seek God's grace from up above

Do your best to make sense
Of everything you're given
If nothing works out
Hold your head up high, keep living

There will be times when pain is all we feel
The clouds are all we can see
It will seem to be too much for us to deal
But in the end, God will set us free

Open up your mind
And just live for today
Each of us, our paths will wind
As we search and find our way

Near the end of our life
As we walk through our last days
We'll look back at the things
That helped light our way

We'll see all the mistakes we made
And the people who were there
The things that may have caused our smiles to fade
And the smell of the cool, fresh air

You'll think about the people you'll never know by name
And all of the joy you felt
When someone kept you from going insane
And helped you to live with the hand you've been dealt

You'll remember the sun that always came out
After the passing of the rain
It wouldn't allow you to doubt
That the joy was worth the pain


This is specially for you to relax and take your stress out...
