"WHAT IF YOU COULD ATTEND A SUCCESS SEMINAR CONDUCTED BY ALLAH'S MESSENGER!?"

From Muhammad Alshareef:

All around us, self-help gurus (not Shaykhs, gurus) and personal development coaches offer us tips on how to be successful. Any Muslim that attends these workshops or listens to this advice can 'sense' that all of this and much more is already a slice of Islam. Yet, not too many Muslims know where to access this success advice and guidance from Islamic sources.
....Every week for one year,I will send you a short but powerful verse or hadith related to success conditioning..... . Some of the hadith you may have read before, but will love being reminded. Others you will be learning for the first time, and will love the depth it brings to your life and loved ones.
=====================================

Some of the Quran & Hadith that I would love to share ( I hv 14 weeks and will try to update bit by bit so it will be more meaningful, alternatively you can sign up and receive a weekly update in your e-mail)..

Week 1: ** SEEK out benefit **

On the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, sal Allahu alayhi wa salla, said: "Seek out that which benefits you,seek help only from Allah and never say you can't do it.
If any adversity comes to you, do not say: 'If I had only acted in such-and-such a way, it would have been such-and-such;' but instead, say: 'Allah has decreed (it)and what He willed, He has done,' for verily, (the word) (if) opens the way for the work of Satan."
- Saheeh Muslim

[Lessons from this hadith]
If there is something that will benefit you, make every effort and go after it! Seek it out.There is no failure, only lessons.


Week 2: ** We all need LOVE **

Allah's Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said: "If Allah loves someone He calls (angel) Jibreel and says: I love so-and-so, so you love him. Jibreel loves him, and calls the other angels in Heaven to love that person. They love him, then his love will be made upon earth, and he becomes loved.
"And if Allah hates someone He calls Gabriel and says: I hate so-and-so and you hate him. Jibreel hates him and calls the angels in Heaven and says: Allah hates so-and-so, so you all hate him. They all hate him, and his hatred is made upon earth and he becomes hated." - Muslim

[Lessons from this hadith]
People do things for the sake of seeking out love from other humans. All the love you need is found in obeying Allah. Do actions sincerely to win Allah's love, and love will be yours!


Week 3: ** Be OUTSTANDING **

The Messenger of Allah, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said, "Allah has commanded that everything (one does) they should do it with excellence (ihsan). When you sacrifice, sacrifice well. Sharpen your knife and make it easy for the animal to be slaughtered." - Muslim

[Lessons from this hadith]
Don't just aim to be 'good', be outstanding! This is what is required of a Muslim, in everything they do!

InsyaAllah, I will update more....

He : {innocent look} or "No !"

===========

So our 'melt-down' time (cair) is here ... how to deny yr baby when he said all these things... with that innocent looking smile. ..

DON'T underestimate & undermine the power & intelligence of those toddlers!! .....
SURE u know they are manipulating you !... SURE u know they are testing 'their water' and will win the battle by uttering such words and giving u that sly smile !.... SURE they are cunning little creatures !!....and SURE u hv heard & read about this and know it all ....
But again and again, u give in !! Haizzz !!... will it ever END ??
.......... looks like no chance la ... coz my parents are still pampering and giving in to us (yang dah tuer bangker ni) .... Hahahaha !

~GUD LUCK to All and NJOY parenting~

ALHAN WASAHLAN bi MA'AL HIJRAH 1428 !!

AHLAN WASAHLAN Bi MA'AL HIJRAH 1428 !!!

"Kul Sanaa Wa Antum Taibeen !! "

Semoga setiap tahun Hijrah membawa Hikmah, dan mempertingkatkan Ilmu ku dalam pengajaran kehidupan di Dunia dan persiapan untuk menempuh Akhirat... InsyaAllah, Ameen.

Nothing much to wish for except for the BEST of everything permissable by Islamic Syariah.. InsyaAllah every steps and every deeds that we do will be blessed by Allah... Ameen.

For me - I'll just try my best to work towards leaving these few things ....

The Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) said that after one dies, one's deeds come to an end, except for three things (that continue to bless a person even after he or she has died):

1) Contributions to charity that keep on benefitting, such as a mosque or school. Also known as "sadaqah jaariyah" or "continuous charity".

2) Knowledge one has passed by which people benefit.

3) Children who continue to bless and ask dua's for the deceased parent(s).

=========================

Apart from longing and waiting for BUBUR ASYURA .... yummy !!...... (Sesaper yg nak 'sedekah' pat I, pls buzz me.... ;)

For those you can, don't forget 'the fast of Asyura' (10th of Muharram) and the 9th of Muharram as well.

* Mu'awiyah ibn Abu Sufyan (Radiyallahu 'anh) relates:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) say:
"It is the day of 'Asyura. Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) has not made fasting obligatory for you. But I am fasting. He who likes to observe fast among you should do so, and he who likes not to observe it (does not have to) observe it." [Sahih Muslim]

* Abu Qatada (Radiyallahu 'anh) relates that the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said that the fast on the 10th of Muharram atones for the sins of the preceding year. [Sahih Muslim]

* Abu Huraira (Radiyallahu 'anh) reports that the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said that after Ramadan, the fasts of Muharram have the greatest excellence. [Sahih Muslim]

May Allah blessed us all this year and all the years ahead.......... InsyaAllah.
