solat


Sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud:
“Apa pendapat kamu jika sebatang sungai berada di depan rumah seorang daripada kamu, kemudian ia mandi sebanyak lima kali setiap harinya, apakah tersisa kotoran darinya? Sahabat menjawab: Tentu tidak tersisa sedikit pun kotoran. Baginda SAW bersabda: Demikianlah perumpamaan solat, ia berfungsi sebagai penggugur dosa dan kesalahan.” (Hadis riwayat Muttafaqa ‘Alaih).

Sayyid Qutb dalam tafsirnya Fi Zilalil Quran menyebutkan, solat adalah jalan (mikraj) pertemuan seorang hamba yang daif dengan Allah Yang Maha Besar. Dengan solat seorang hamba berasa dekat dengan Pencipta.

Hati menjadi tenang dan jiwa sejuk. Solat ibarat sumber mata air sejuk yang tidak pernah kering oleh terik perjalanan dunia.

ikhlas


"Ya Tuhanku,malam hanya terasa indah apabila berbisik kepada-MU, siang hanya terasa indah apabila mematuhi-Mu. Tiada kelazatan dunia kecuali berzikir kepada-MU. Dan akhirat tidak terasa indah kecuali dengan beroleh kemaafan dari-Mu.Juga syurga tidak terasa indah kecuali dapat melihat-MU
(Bisikan munajat Yahya b. Muaz Ar-Razi)

“Wahai Tuhan,..Alangkah gembiranya daku. Tuhan,?.Engkaulah cita2ku, harapanku, Kasih sayangku, bekalanku dan matlamatku. Engkaulah cahaya hatiku. Engkaulah harapanku. Ya Tuhan,jika bukan kerana-Mu,aku tidak pernah bersusah payah di dunia ini. Betapa banyak pemberian-Mu kepadaku,betapa luas nikmat-Mu untukku. Cinta-Mu,kasih sayang-Mu adalah harapan,kesenangan serta pujianku. Selama hidupku aku tidak mahu lepas dari-Mu. Engkau telah mendarah daging di tubuhku. Alangkah senangnya hatiku,jika aku tahu Engkau telah meredhaiku?
"Tuhanku, tenggelamkanlah diriku kedalam samudera keikhlasan mencintai-Mu,sehingga tidak ada sesuatu yang menyibukkanku kecuali berzikir kepada-Mu?lt;/font>
(Munajat sufi Rabiatul Adawiyah

usah menjangkakan masa depan,kerana masa depan adlah milik TUHAN". Hadapilah hari-hari mendatang dengan senyuman, segunung usaha serta tawakal, redholah atas segala yang Allah berikan kerna itulah yg terbaik.....,senyumlah dgn nikmat Tuhan."

pandangan mata


Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Pandangan mata adalah salah satu dari panah-panah iblis, barangsiapa menundukkannya karena Allah, maka akan dirasakan manisnya iman dalam hatinya.”

. Rasulullah saw. Bersabda, "Wahai Ali, janganlah engkau ikuti pandangan yang satu dengan pandangan yang lain. Engkau hanya boleh melakukan pandangan yang pertama, sedang pandangan yang kedua adalah resiko bagimu." (HR Ahmad)

“Ya Rabbi…, istiqomahkanlah kami di jalan-Mu. Jangan sampai kami tergelincir ataupun terkena debu-debu yang dapat mengotori perjuangan kami di jalan-Mu, yang jika saja Engkau tak tampakkan kesalahan-kesalahan itu pada kami sekarang, niscaya kami tak menyadari kesalahan itu selamanya. Ampunilah kami ya Allah…… Tolonglah kami membersihkannya hingga dapat bercahaya kembali cermin hati kami. Kabulkanlah ya Allah… “

let go


There are things you don’t want to happen but you have to accept, and there are things you don’t want to know but you have to learn, and there are people you can’t live without but you have to let go..

” Dan tidaklah penghidupan dunia ini melainkan permainan dan kelalaian dan sesungguhnya negeri akhirat itu lebih baik bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa, oleh kerana itu tidakkah kamu berfikir.”

dunia


Know you (all), that the life of this world is but play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting and multiplying (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children. Here is a similitude: How rain and the growth which it brings forth delight (the hearts of) the tillers; soon it withers; you will see it grow yellow; then it becomes dry and crumbles away. But in the Hereafter is a Penalty severe (for the devotees of wrong). And Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the devotees of Allah). And what is the life of this world, but goods and chattels of deception? (Surat al-Hadid: 20)

dunia


What is the life of this world
but play and amusement?
But best is the home in the hereafter,
for those who are righteous.
Will you not then understand?
(Surat al-An'am: 32)

miracles of growth


The believers are those whose hearts tremble when God is mentioned, whose faith is increased when His Signs are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord; those who perform prayer and give of what We have provided for them. They are, in truth, the believers. They have high ranks with their Lord, as well as forgiveness and generous provision. (Qur’an, 8:2-4)

The Miracle of Growth

The pituitary gland, a small, pink piece of flesh about the size of a chickpea, is connected to the hypothalamus region, located underneath the brain, by a small stalk. This connection allows it to receive instructions directly from the hypothalamus and thus produce the requisite number of hormones and make the necessary bodily adjustments. One of these adjustments is growth.
A person’s growth assumes two different forms: an increase in the volume of certain cells, and the division and multiplication of cells. The growth hormone brings about and directs both processes. Secreted by the pituitary gland, this hormone affects all of the body’s cells. Every cell understands the message it receives from the pituitary gland. If growth is necessary, it grows; if it needs to divide and multiply, it does so.
For instance, a new-born baby’s heart is about one-sixteenth the size of an adult’s,30 even though the total number of cells in both hearts is the same. The growth hormone, which affects the heart cells individually during the growth process, commands every cell to grow to the necessary extent. As the heart grows, it turns into an adult, human heart.
Other cells, such as muscle and bone cells, divide and multiply throughout the developmental period. Again, the growth hormone is responsible for telling them how much they need to divide.31
The growth hormone’s great affect on each cell is an exceedingly great miracle. Were only some cells to follow its instructions, the result would be crippling. For example, if the heart cells grew in the manner dictated by the growth hormone and the ribcage’s cells refused to do so, the growing heart would be so constricted within the non-growing ribcage that the person would die. Or, if the bridge of the nose grew while the skin did not, the bridge would burst through the skin.
All of the muscles, bones, organs, and the skin grow in harmony with one another. This flawless harmony is ensured by each individual cell’s obeying the growth hormone. That being the case, we need to ask how this chick-pea-sized gland comes to know the necessary formula for a cell’s division or growth.
At this point, the flawlessness and perfection of God’s creation emerges once again. Cells in a tiny region bring about the division and growth of trillions of other cells within a specific order. Yet these cells do not see the human body from the outside or know how much it needs to grow or what stage it has reached. These unconscious cells produce the growth hormone, within the darkness of the body, without knowing what it is that they are doing. Furthermore, they also halt production at the appropriate time.
All of these intricate details about the growth hormone and all of these interconnected balances indicate a single truth: God created humanity at a specific time and in a flawless manner. In fact, God reveals the superior nature of His creation in the following verse:

He is God—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Qur’an, 59:24)
