اقرأ خير ما تجد – واكتب خير ما تقرأ – واحفظ خير ما تكتب "قول الحكماء"

اقرأ باسم ربك الذي خلق "قوله تعالى"

Saranan membaca ibarat satu arahan ketika hamba-hamba Allah ini masih muda. Sejak huruf-huruf mula diperkenal, sejak lidah mampu menyebut perkataan-perkataan .. saat itu membaca diterapkan menjadi hobi masa terluang. Ini bukan kisah aku …

“ SubhanaLlah! Pandainya anak ini..ini, lihat! Huruf apa ini, sayang?”
“ En (N)”
“ AlhamduliLlah. Pandainya anak ibu. Ini?”
“ Yu (U)”
“ Masya Allah. Ini pula?”
“ Ar (R)”
“ SubhanaLlah. Abang, pandai anak kita ini. Kan, bang?”

Itu kisah 20 tahun sudah. Kisah hari ini pula menyusul.

“ Ya Allah! Apa semua ini, anak? Apa yang telah berlaku? Apa yang sudah kamu lakukan?”
“ Apa, ibu?”
“ Ini! Apa ini semua?”
“ Itukan buku, bu. Majalah..”
“ Maksud ibu, untuk apa dibaca semua ini? Semuanya sampah!”
“ Alah..dulu ibu juga yang nasihatkan supaya rajin membaca. Sekarang ibu marah-marah pula? Apa ini,bu?”
“ Sayang..benar ibu selalu menggalakkan kamu membaca..tapi..”
“ Ibu! Tunggu dulu..ini buku, bu. Ibu dan abah yang selalu nasihatkan supaya masa tidak terluang sia-sia. Ye, kerana itu saya mengisinya dengan membaca.”
“ Tapi, tulisan-tulisan picisan ini..bukan semua ini sayang. Bukan buku-buku atau majalah-majalah yang tidak bertepatan dengan akhlak ini..”

Kisah selanjutnya…

“ Assalamu’alaikum.”
“ Wa’alaikumussalam warahmatuLlah. Ye, mahu berbual dengan siapa?”
“ Tumpang bertanya, adakah ini rumah Cik Mahmudah binti AbduLlah?”
“ Benar. Tapi dia tiada di rumah. Sudah keluar ke universitinya.”
“ Siapa ini? Adakah ini bapanya?”
“ Ye, saya bercakap.”
“ Begini, Encik. Harap maaf jika saya mengganggu. Saya dari Pejabat Agama. Saya ingin meminta Encik selaku bapa kepada Cik Mahmudah, agar dapat datang ke pejabat kami dengan seberapa segera.”
“ Ada apa, Encik? Ada apa dengan anak kami?”
“ Diharap Encik dapat bertenang dahulu. Anak Encik telah ditangkap ketika berkhalwat dengan seorang lelaki di sebuah rumah..”
KEDEBUK!!

Dan dialog terakhirnya…

“ Kenapa, anakku? Kenapa ini yang kamu lakukan?”
“ Saya membaca, ibu..saya membaca,abah. Saya membaca dan saya mengetahui banyak perkara. Lalu ia membuatkan saya ingin lebih tahu..ingin lebih mengerti..ingin merasai!”
“ AstaghfiruLlah! La haula wala quwwata illa biLlah!”

** moral dari cerita yang tak tau hujung pangkal ni..

1) Membaca amalan mulia, tapi berhati-hati ketika memilih apa yang anda baca.

2) Kadang-kadang terlampau rajin membaca membuat mata kita ‘rabun’. Sebab tu, kita selalu baca semua benda..tanpa mengira yang baik atau tidak.


3) Ada juga sifat membaca yang menghasilkan rasa ingin tahu yang berlebihan dan tidak terkawal sehingga membawa kepada hasil yang memberi dosa dan kejam. (kisah pelajar 15 tahun yang mencabul kehormatan sepupunya yang baru 4 tahun selepas membaca buku pasal ‘pembiakan’).

4) Kepada ibubapa, awasilah bahan bacaan anak-anak anda! Juga awasilah bahan bacaan anda sendiri..kerana anda adalah contoh kepada mereka!Luangkan masa juga untuk menerangkan mereka apa-apa yang perlu mereka tahu dari anda sendiri (dengan bahasa yang lebih terjaga tentunya) sebelum mereka mengetahuinya dari sumber-sumber lain yang tak tentu hala.


5) Kepada yang suka menulis, sentiasalah menghitung pahala dari tulisan anda. Berhati-hati dalam menulis, kerana banyak otak-otak yang mungkin dipengaruhi oleh tulisan anda..

6) Last but not least..satu soalan mudah. Kenapa majalah-majalah/ buku-buku yang baik dan bertepatan dengan akhlak Islam (bukan semua) sangat mahal harganya? UMBRA 114 m/surat baru RM 3.50 tapi ANIS 120 m/surat dah RM 7.00.

Jawapan sendiri:
1- UMBRA untuk budak-budak kenalah murah. ANIS untuk orang dewasa, mahal sikit la
2- UMBRA kualiti kertasnya biasa aje. ANIS kertasnya tebal, colourful pulak tu
3- UMBRA isi dalamnya tak berharga (??). ANIS isinya banyak manfaat, berguna untuk hidup di dunia dan akhirat. So, lepas baca kertas UMBRA boleh buat bungkus nasi lemak, ANIS boleh simpan jadi pesaka untuk anak-anak..

Lalu, budak-budak pun teruslah beli UMBRA. Agak-agak bila mereka besar, mereka beli ANIS atau tidak??? Ehem…melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya..

rehat minda kejap..

##rehat 1
All my husband wanted was to pay for some batteries, but none of the staff in the electronics store seemed interested in helping him.
''I've got an idea,'' I said, and pulled a tape measure out of my handbag. I stepped over to one of the giant plasma-screen TVs and started to measure it. Faster than you can say high definition, a young man came running over. ''May I help you?'' he asked breathlessly.
''Yes,'' I said. ''I'd like to buy these batteries.''

##rehat 2
My ten-year-old grandson, Jeffrey, called to ask if he and his cousin could sleep over at our house. ''Not this weekend, Jeffrey, '' I told him. ''I'm getting old.''
''But, Grandma, '' he protested, ''next weekend you'll be even older!''

##rehat 3
Cycling past a farm a tourist is amazed to see a three-legged chicken run past at high speed. He goes up to the farmer and says, ''I've just seen a chicken with three legs.''''That's right, '' the farmer replies. ''You know how it is when you cook a chicken for dinner - everyone wants a leg. We decided to breed them with three legs.''''Wow, '' says the tourist. ''What do they taste like?''''I don't know, '' the farmer replies. ''We haven't caught one yet.''

##rehat 4
Before leaving home with our family for the drive from Canada to Florida's Disney World, the children were warned that it was a long trip and no-one was to ask, ''How much farther is it?'' or ''When will we arrive?''
The journey was remarkably question-free until 9 p.m. on the third day, when Tess sighed, ''Will I still be five when we get there?''

##rehat 5
One day, the general noticed a soldier behaving oddly. He would pick up every piece of paper he saw, read it, frown and say, ''That's not it,'' and drop it.
After a month of this, the general finally arranged to have the soldier tested. The psychologist found that the soldier was deranged, and wrote out his discharge from the army.
The soldier picked it up, smiled and said, ''That's it.''

nak ketawa @ nak fikir dulu?

It is common to hear the expression 'ladies first'. Women, in particular, daily repeat it as if it is a rule. They actually feel proud of it, unknowing its origin and its real indications. They think it is praise to them, while it is a shame to be said according to its origin.

The story of this saying took place in Italy. It is about two lovers who loved each other so much. They decided to marry. But some social circumstances and relatives block the way of their marriage. They did not accept this and intentionally decided either to live together as husband and wife, or to die together.

Having done best to achieve the marriage, they got disappointed. Dying together was the only option. They thought about a number of ways to commit the suicide.

Throwing themselves into the sea was the appropriate way to them. The man sincerely said he would not bear the situation of seeing her drowning to death in front of his eyes. He convinced his beloved that he would throw himself first and then she would do so later.

In the rush moment, the man did it and drown. The lady was looking at him as if he was 'singing'. The man was dead. It was the lady's turn to follow him to live together underneath, as they decided. But she soon broke her promise, forgetting her sweetheart who was dying in front of her eyes and in heart as well.

She 'threw herself back to the village'. Yes! Her promise was to throw herself. And she did, but to the village instead of the sea.

She came back home, to her relatives as if nothing has happened. Few days later, she fell in love with another man. She was happy with him as if it was her first love. It did not take a lot of time till she got married to him.

Since then, people start doubting ladies and start repeating the saying 'ladies first', with the implication that ladies should throw themselves into the sea first, should die first, because they are not trustworthy.

It is really interesting when one hears a lady proudly says 'ladies first', thinking that she adds a privilege for being a female. Some people, men and women, take it as a social rule, unknowing its real indications.

This is not a personal point of view. It is not, moreover, a personal interpretation of the story. It is what many sources say and interpret the original story. So, women please forgive me for shedding light on this.

I do only a favor for women so that to be aware of when to say 'ladies first' and when not to say. For me, I don’t care if I hear a woman saying this. I way ignore or pretend deafness. But others may take it a matter of satire.

Having known this, women may reject this saying. They may claim that 'Ladies last' is better.

This saying has been common for several years. And men never reject it. Though the proverb has a negative implication on women, men do really accept it as it is, following it as a matter of respect to women whenever they come across.

See the difference, men do not feel teased whenever women shout for being 'the first', unknowing its real implications. But the case is taken differently by women when the verse happens.

In spite of this, men will not change their respect and intimacy to women. They will take women to be first when they positively look at 'ladies first'. And similarly, they will insist to make 'ladies last' when it is negative to put them at first. The problem, however, lies in women themselves who do not accept everything normally as it is.

Women claim to be first. They do not take it normally whether to be first or last. Men, on the other hand, accept women to be first not for the saying 'ladies first' but for the social respect of men towards women.

So it is only a matter of respect. It is not a rule, and it is better to be not a rule because it will be a negative aspect of women.

Spotlighting on this is not to provoke the matter between men and women. But it is to learn a lesson that both are 'first and both can be last'. There must be mutual acceptance and integration between the two sexes. So this is a call firstly for women, because of "ladies first", and secondly for men to look at the matter through the mind's eye.

kenapa cuai sembahyang

tulisan ni ditaip semula,hasil temuan dalam buku teks lama matapelajaran 'As Sihah' di Madrasah Darul Taqwa (skrg Dar At Taqwa)..buku ni dijumpa dalam timbunan buku2 lama waktu kemas rumah..buat diri terkenang kenangan lama sekitar tahun 1992..dan jg Ustazah Rosmunainah Nur Asmuni,guru madah ni..

.......................................................................................................

wahai muslimin,wahai muslimat,
kenapa kamu cuai sembahyang,
tidak bersyukur segala ni'mat,
Allah Pengasih lagi Penyayang.

orang yang miskin juga hartawan,
kenapa kamu cuai sembahyang,
iman tipis,kurang amalan,
bercakap lantang berbuat kurang.

kepada semua ibu dan bapa,
kenapa kamu cuai sembahyang,
maksiat berlaku kata tak apa,
radio bergema TV dipasang.

guru sekolah,guru madrasah,
kenapa kamu cuai sembahyang,
anak murid berakhlaq rendah,
pakai baju aurat membayang.

kaum remaja lelaki perempuan,
kenapa kamu cuai sembahyang,
apa lagi membaca Quran,
seronok lakukan kerja terlarang.

anak-anak yang dikasihi,
kenapa kamu cuai sembahyang,
perbuatanmu selalu dimarahi,
itulah tanda kamu disayang.

wahai manusia seluruh alam,
janganlah kita cuai sembahyang,
hidup selamat sampaikan salam,
Rasul penyuluh jalan yang terang.

ibu bapa bersemangat waja,
suruhlah anakmu kerjakan sembahyang,
Allah Raja segala raja,
hancurkan taghut terus berjuang.

berbahagialah tilmiz wa tilmizat,
janganlah kamu tinggalkan sembahyang,
kamu kan jadi pemimpin ummat,
melaungkan azan takbir berkumandang.

ihtisab

bagaimana perjalanan hidup seharian?setiap detik dari 24 jam yang dilalui itu,adakah diisi dengan kerja-kerja yang mendekatkan diri kepadaNya?

mencelik mata di pagi hari,apa yang pertama diingati??
1) terima kasih ya Allah..mengembalikan nyawaku
2) bestnyee mimpi tadi..nape la terkejut awal sangat?
3) eisshh..dah lewat niii..hari ni nak kena sampai awal..ada banyak keje..

melangkahkan kaki ke bilik air..memakai pakaian..mengisi perut dengan hidangan yang menyelerakan..apa yang dihitungkan?apa yang diingatkan?

menghitung pahala dalam setiap gerak geri di sepanjang hari..banyakkah pahala yang dikumpul?atau cuma titik-titik hitam di hati yang mampu dihimpun?

ihtisab ajr..menghitung pahala di sepanjang hari..barulah dapat diketahui,sudah berisikah kantung pahala buat bekalan nanti..

cahaya yang tersinar

MengingatiNya di kala senang dan susah.
MengingatiNya saat berdiri dan duduk.
MengingatiNya tika tertawa dan menangis.

Tidak dijadikan semua yang ada di langit dan di bumi ini dengan sia-sia.
Langit tak bertiang
Awan tak bertali
Bukit yang terpacak memaku bumi
Air mengalir yang menjadi sumber meneruskan hidup

Pada siapa rasa syukur ini?
Pada siapa segala pujian ini?
Pada siapa dipohonkan agar nikmat ini berkekalan?

Bila siang menjenguk diri
Hidup dilalui penuh bererti
Menjalankan amanah tanggungjawab diberi
Menjadikan diri mukmin sejati

Pada jasad teliti dilempar
Hujung rambut yang berakar
Hujung kaki yang terdampar
Telah disedari, itu hasil seorang pakar

Menembusi pintu meneruskan hari
Memerhati daun-daun jatuh dibelai bayu
Menikmati haruman bunga pagi
Telah hadir insaf di hatiku

Pada siapa lagi rasa takzim ini?
Pada siapa lagi segala penghormatan ini?
Pda siapa dipinta agar diri tidak dikecualikan dari golongan yang sedikit?

“dan sedikit sahaja dari kalangan hambaKu orang-orang yang bersyukur”

man with the watches - part 3

John Palmer, the guard was able at the inquest to give some evidence which threw a little light upon the matter. There was a spot between Tring and Cheddington, according to his statement, where, on account of some repairs to the line, the train had for a few minutes slowed down to a pace not exceeding eight or ten miles an hour. At that place it might be possible for a man, or even for an exceptionally active woman, to have left the train without serious injury.

It was true that a gang of platelayers was there, and that they had seen nothing, but it was their custom to stand in the middle between the metals, and the open carriage door was upon the far side, so that it was conceivable that someone might have alighted unseen, as the darkness would by that time be drawing in. A steep embankment would instantly screen anyone who sprang out from the observation of the navvies.

The guard also deposed that there was a good deal of movement upon the platform at Willesden Junction, and that though it was certain that no one had either joined or left the train there, it was still quite possible that some of the passengers might have changed unseen from one compartment to another. It was by no means uncommon for a gentleman to finish his cigar in a smoking carriage and then to change to a clearer atmosphere.

Supposing that the man with the black beard had done so at Willesden (and the half-smoked cigar upon the floor seemed to favour the supposition), he would naturally go into the nearest section, which would bring him into the company of the two other actors in this drama. Thus the first stage of the affair might be surmised without any great breach of probability. But what the second stage had been, or how the final one had been arrived at, neither the guard nor the experienced detective officers could suggest.

A careful examination of the line between Willesden and Rugby resulted in one discovery which might or might not have a bearing upon the tragedy. Near Tring, at the very place where the train slowed down, there was found at the bottom of the embankment a small pocket Testament, very shabby and worn. It was printed by the Bible Society of London, and bore an inscription: "From John to Alice. Jan. 13th, 1856," upon the fly-leaf.

Underneath was written: "James. July 4th, 1859," and beneath that again: "Edward. Nov. 1st, 1869," all the entries being in the same handwriting. This was the only clue, if it could be called a clue, which the police obtained, and the coroner's verdict of "Murder by a person or persons unknown" was the unsatisfactory ending of a singular case. Advertisement, rewards, and inquiries proved equally fruitless, and nothing could be found which was solid enough to form the basis for a profitable investigation.

the man with watches -part2

I have said that there was no personal property which might help to identify him, but it is true that there was one peculiarity about this unknown young man which was much commented upon at the time. In his pockets were found no fewer than six valuable gold watches, three in the various pockets of his waist-coat, one in his ticket-pocket, one in his breast-pocket, and one small one set in a leather strap and fastened round his left wrist.

The obvious explanation that the man was a pickpocket, and that this was his plunder, was discounted by the fact that all six were of American make and of a type which is rare in England. Three of them bore the mark of the Rochester Watchmaking Company; one was by Mason, of Elmira; one was unmarked; and the small one, which was highly jewelled and ornamented, was from Tiffany, of New York.

The other contents of his pocket consisted of an ivory knife with a corkscrew by Rodgers, of Sheffield; a small, circular mirror, one inch in diameter; a readmission slip to the Lyceum Theatre; a silver box full of vesta matches, and a brown leather cigar-case containing two cheroots - also two pounds fourteen shillings in money.

It was clear, then, that whatever motives may have led to his death, robbery was not among them. As already mentioned, there were no markings upon the man's linen, which appeared to be new, and no tailor's name upon his coat. In appearance he was young, short, smooth-cheeked, and delicately featured. One of his front teeth was conspicuously stopped with gold.

On the discovery of the tragedy an examination was instantly made of the tickets of all passengers, and the number of the passengers themselves was counted. It was found that only three tickets were unaccounted for, corresponding to the three travellers who were missing.

The express was then allowed to proceed, but a new guard was sent with it, and John Palmer was detained as a witness at Rugby. The carriage which included the two compartments in question was uncoupled and side-tracked. Then, on the arrival of Inspector Vane, of Scotland Yard, and of Mr. Henderson, a detective in the service of the railway company, an exhaustive inquiry was made into all the circumstances.

That crime had been committed was certain. The bullet, which appeared to have come from a small pistol or revolver, had been fired from some little distance, as there was no scorching of the clothes. No weapon was found in the compartment (which finally disposed of the theory of suicide), nor was there any sign of the brown leather bag which the guard had seen in the hand of the tall gentleman.

A lady's parasol was found upon the rack, but no other trace was to be seen of the travellers in either of the sections. Apart from the crime, the question of how or why three passengers (one of them a lady) could get out of the train, and one other get in during the unbroken run between Willesden and Rugby, was one which excited the utmost curiosity among the general public, and gave rise to much speculation in the London Press.
