Solah Is More Than What You Know!!!

Assalamualaikum to all Muslim brothers & sisters. I apologize for the late blog update. Last week was a tight & hectic days. I was very busy with my school tasks & curricular activities. However, I try my best to update my blog as soon as possible and today I think is the right time to do so.

Before starting our discussion, let me ask you few questions. What do u know about solah? What do u think of it? Ritual matter or a lifestyle? Don't u think that Islam is an easy way of life? So, why must we perform solah 5 TIMES A DAY while in other religions they just pray to their God usually once a week or at least 2 times a day? Don't you think it's a waste of time, energy and burdening? So, what's your perspective towards this compulsory ritual routine? HEY, IT'S BURDENING & WASTING YOUR TIME!!!! SO, DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!! BELIEVE IN ME! SOLAH IS NOTHING...

if you don't read this!


Solah is not only a ritual matter but it's also a good exercise, meditation & medication. It's proven by scientific research in University Malaya (Biomedical in Engineering Faculty) & University Airlangga Surabaya (Immunology in Medical Faculty). Every movement in solah has scientific benefits. It is as shown below:

1. Niat/Nawaitu : We set our mind and soul to be focus when we perform solah and to
do solah sincerely for Allah only.

2. Qiyam: Good for preventing joint problem because both hands are at fully rest.

Ruku':













<We bowed about 90 degrees and straighten our backbone.
It's good to prevent shoulder and backbone pain.







Sujud:

<
-Intercostal muscles and lungs expand
- Muscles become bigger and stronger
- Blood can be sent easily through arteries and veins
- Can prevent arteriosclerosis (contraction of blood capillary)
- Reduce the risk to suffer tuberculosis (TBC) that due to
contraction of intercostal muscles.
























<
Sit on left foot with bent right toes.















Tahiyat Akhir>>


<
Sit on hip with bent right toes (tahiyat akhir).



Advantages:

- Deoxygenated blood is carried back to heart easily.
- Can prevent Peudendal Neuralgia (pelvic floor dysfunction)




Actually, there are much more benefits that were revealed by science discovery but I think it's enough for today's discussion. If you're really interested about the relationship between Islamic lifestyles and scientific breakthrough, you're advised to find books about that at the nearest bookstores preferably at MPH Bookstores (Malaysia). Nowadays, more and more people get to know the beauty and perfection of Islam as the best way of life. So, why not us as Muslims reveal the truth??? Read more, and you'll gain more because you're advised to do so through Surah al-'Alaq; verses 1-5.

[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ]


In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.


[اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِى خَلَقَ - خَلَقَ الإِنسَـنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ - اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الاٌّكْرَمُ - الَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ - عَلَّمَ الإِنسَـنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ ]


1. Read! In the Name of your Lord Who created.) (2. He has created man from a clot.) (3. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.) (4. Who has taught by the pen.) (5. He has taught man that which he knew not.)





Thank you. Wassalam.

Doa Nabi Muhammad SAW

Doa Nabi Muhammad SAW Bangun Tidur Bagi Bersolat Tahajud


Ya Allah, bagimu segala pujian,
Engkaulah yang menegakkan langit dan bumi
Dan apa-apa yang berada di dalamnya

Ya Allah, bagimu segala pujian,
Kepunyaanmu seluruh kerajaan langit dan bumi
Dan apa-apa yang berada di dalamnya

Ya Allah, bagimu segala pujian,
Engkaulah cahaya langit dan bumi
Dan apa-apa yang berada di dalamnya

Hanya bagimu segala puji,

Hanya kepadamu aku beriman,
Hanya kepadamu aku bertawakal,

Ya Allah,
Kepadamu aku kembali,
Keranamu aku berjuang, dan
Kepadamu pula aku berhakim.

Ampunilah dosa-dosaku yang terdahulu dan terkemudian,
Ampunilah aku daripada dosa yang aku sembunyikan,
Dan yang aku nampakkan,
Dan daripada semua dosa-dosaku yang Engkau lebih mengetahui daripada diriku.

Engkaulah yang menyegerakan, dan Engkaulah yang mengakhirkan,
Tiada Tuhan melainkan Engkau,
Dan tiada daya dan kekuatan melainkan kerana Engkau,
Ya Allah…

Why Are You So Inferior??

Assalamualaikum wbt. Alhamdulillah, today I still have been given from Almighty Allah the ability to hold my pen and write something again for all of you. It will be ‘Mission & Vision’ as our discussion topic. Well, as we know today, the biggest world economic ruler is not among us, i.e. Islamic country. Yet it is our most powerful and inhuman enemies as the rulers, who else if not USA & Britain. So, don’t you ever think what will happen to our next generations if neither we never attempt to discharge them nor to against them. Surely, I knew that you’ll say “How can?? We are so small, weak and inferior countries.” Well, I got the answer from my Sifu Dr. Tengku Asmadi while I was attending his lecture at MAP. So, what’s it???



Have the courage to continue your reading.



To conquer world economy, it is not a small matter but it’s still possible if we know the way to conquer it. The key is “U.K.”. Believe in me that you can conquer almost everything if you have the skeleton key which is “U.K. = Useful Knowledge”. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. had once said, “If you want to success in the world, you should have knowledge, if you want to success in the hereafter you still should have knowledge and if you want to success in the world and the hereafter you MUST have knowledge.” That means knowledge is everything. But…


But the problem might rise when it comes to the time to learn, to study and to gain knowledge. This is because most of us (Muslims) especially Malays are too lazy to give some effort for their own good. They are too pampered and at last become (I’m sorry to say…) “RUBBISH!” They expect they will get everything they want as easy as ABC without sacrifice something. The main reason they become like this is they have NO MISSION AND VISION. I’m very sure if you ask some of us about what they want to achieve and to get by 10 years from now they cannot answer it easily even if we give them 24 hours to think about it! It’s a FACT!


As I’m here not to babbling around and not to beat around the bush, it is better if I talk straight to the point and discuss with all of you on how to solve this BIG MATTER.


  1. Take a few of papers and a pen. Find a quiet and comfortable place for you to “muhasabah”.

  1. Think about what you want to be and to achieve by 10 years from now. Write it in sequence (from 1st year to the 10th year). Write as much as you wish.

  1. You think about it and write it without thinking of obstacles you will have to face in order to achieve it. Think like you’ll get everything you wish.
  2. Take your time to ponder. It doesn’t matter even if it will take more than 24 hours for you to really assure of what you want. The most important thing is it is never too late to ponder about it even if you’re 30 year-old now. At least, you’ll know and understand yourself better.

  1. After that, you have to be a new person because now you have your own mission to be completed. Once you write your missions on paper, and keep it safely it means you already promised to yourself that you must be a motivated and very determined person to achieve your missions no matter how much obstacles you have to face. KEEP YOUR PROMISE!

  1. Bear in mind, Allah had reminded us twice in Surah al-Insyirah (1st – 8th verses) translated in English;

O Prophet! Have We not expanded your breast for you[1]

and relieved you from the burden[2]

which weighed down your back,[3]

and exalted your fame?[4]

Surely, with every difficulty there is relief.[5]

Surely, with every difficulty there is relief.[6]

Therefore, when you are free from your daily task, devote your time to the labor of worship[7]

and turn all your attention towards your Rabb.[8]

by Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

(The Institute of Islamic Knowledge, Houston, Texas, USA)



At last but not least, if you have something that you are hesitate or do not know, please have your pleasure to take some time and read and learn from Al-Quran and Sunnah. They are the best guides for us. Alhamdulillah, we are Muslims.


That’s all for now. See you again in the next discussion. Be pleased to give me your feedbacks and great suggestions. Assalamualaikum w.b.t.



“May Almighty Allah guide us to the right path.”



P.S. Please paste the papers that you have used to write your missions and visions at the place that you will easily to look at it everyday. It will works just if you give your very best effort with ‘tawakal’.

Great Quote

Assalamualaikum to my beloved readers. First and foremost, I’d like to wish all of u a very “Happy New Year”. After a long time I haven’t update my blog [www.myspace.com/nurryx] for the reason of having no idea to write about and was so busy helping my mum doing house chores so I think today is the right time to write something for good. I hope all of us are in the pink and already think about a new resolution and goal to be achieved in this year 2009.

I know it is our fervent hope to achieve everything that we set as our new year’s goal but bear in mind, it’ll be nothing if we just put it as a plan but not work on the plan. Well, it was said by an English philosopher, “Plan your work, and work your plan,” and there is also a proverb says, “If u fail to plan, u plan to fail”. So, think about it!

After knowing the importance of setting goals, here is a good thing for you to ponder. A few days before I got my PMR result, I was ponder about my past achievements and how I want to make it a great continuous achievement. Alhamdulillah, something was popped up in my mind and I have found a great quote to be shared. I got the inspiration from some of my friends that always have a study group with me at school. They love to ask me to share secret recipe of my good achievement. However, it is not my intention to behave with swank. So, I must thank Allah too for giving me this opportunity and advantage.

So, back to the main point, the nice quote is “I never say that you can’t be successful, but it’s just you’re not ‘crazy’ enough to be successful”. I think it sounds great and make people curious to know what the meaning is.

The word ‘crazy’ I mentioned earlier doesn’t mean mental disorder but it means when you do something you MUST do it with your heart and soul so that you can achieve almost everything you wish. Insya-Allah.

Now, let me explain the meaning better in aspect of:
1. Time: Crazy means you do something with ‘istiqamah’ or continuous effort.

2. Determination: Once you start to think about how to reach your goal and give some effort, you should never ever give up in way to achieve it until you really achieve what you want to.

3. Attitude: You must crazy enough to always think positive in whatever situation you face. You should always think like successful people for they always achieve what they want. Tell your friends about your dreams & wishes. Believe that you can achieve it and actually already achieved half of it when you think positively.

4. Imagination: Crazy means you should practice to imagine ‘wild’ imagination that will always lead you to future success. Well, Albert Einstein had once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. Try it, it’s joyful!

E.g. Imagine you achieve your goals, your dreams come true &
everything you wish to have and to be.

5. Doa’: Yup, surely, it is the most important thing you must do after you give your very very best. Allah knows best for us. And He is the only one that can determine our fate. So, have faith in Him even if we don’t get what we wish. Believe that Allah knows the best. Remember, “Doa itu senjata mukmin”.


So, I think that’s all for now. Later, I’ll hold my pen again and write something useful to share with all of you.
Thank You. :-)
