THE TRIPLE FILTER

During the Abbasid period, one of the scholars in Baghdad, the capital of Muslim Caliphate at that time, was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem.

One day an acquaintance met the great scholar and said,
"Do you know what I just heart about your friend ?"

Scholar : "Hold on a minute, before telling me anything, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

The Man : "Triple Filter Test?"

Scholar : "That's right, before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say.That's why I called it the triple filter test.
The First Filter is TRUTH.
Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

The Man : "No, actually I just heard about it and ..... "

Scholar : "All right, so you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter.
The filter is GOODNESS.
Is what you are about to tell me about my friend is something good?"

The Man : "No, on the contrary..... "

Scholar : "So, you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still the pass the test though, because there's one filter left;
The filter is USEFULNESS.
Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

The Man : "No, not really."

Scholar :
"Well, if what you want to tell me is neither TRUE nor GOOD nor even USEFUL, why tell it to me at all?"

Surah 49 Al-Hujurat Ayah 12 :
Translation of meaning;
O you who believed ! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspisions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh on his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.

================
Footnote :
"We are not perfect"
"We are only human"

What a lame excuse,
That we always use...

Gossips are fun,
Impossible to have none,
Guilty... I for one,
Admitted... this I have done.

Though I always try, to give it pass,
To speak and hear, what I know is useless,
I know it's sinful, I know it's bad,
Time and again, I fall in the trap.

God forgive me, and you too my friends,
If I speak about you, behind the fence,
Will try avoid, I know I can...
With all the reminders and lessons I've gained.
To hurt you, has never been my intention,
I want Heaven, as my final destination.
But Alas, till then...

This Damn Devil kept on with his whispers,
Sounds so innocent blowing in my ears,
The same lame excuse, he tells me to use..
"Don't think about it, no need to muse..."
"You are not perfect"
"You are only human"

Some Updates........

Salam Alaikum to all,
Couple of weeks ago, I was on 8 days MC and wow ! what a great time to spend at home !!

Ni all criter dah basi.. but just to note a few things, so I don't forget them in time to come ... (more later... ;) )

1st Feb : A great loss for me - a miracle I had for 11 weeks.
All that happen is Allah's will ... Alhamdullillah, we know Not what Allah have blessed us with... Wallahu'alam.

8th Feb : My Wedding anniversary
Alhamdullillah, though there will always be 'hiccups' in our years together, I am thankful & blessed to have what I have.
Went to Shang-ri-la for Lunch buffet. The spread was good - but there are things which we kenot eat lah (ba-alif-ba-ya). But other poultries are Halal especially fm the North-Indian counter (so yummilicious !) . So if u r there, u hv to ask the Manager (don't ask the waiter/waitress coz they sometimes selenger !!). Alhamdullilah, there's this very friendly Malay girl at the dessert counter that pointed to us, which cakes we can & cannot eat (cos they put gelatine). .. :( sadly, tak bawak camera.......


Thanks so much dearest Habibee (hb) for your treat, though you sometimes "kecik darah", I still love u more & more as each day passes by... takper lah, makin banyak aku sabar - makin more chance masok surga, LOL !! so hv to thank u for testing my patience meni-meni times lah .... Hehehe

11 Feb : Trip to Courts
A few months Courts & Ikea open their doors, but I haven't been there ! So, this marked my 'virgin' trip there ! Undecided to go IKEA or Courts, so ended up in Courts ... Tak beli aper2, juz had coffee & snacks !...

12 Feb : Back to Work
B-O-R-I-N-G !!!! (with a capital B) ... I want to be with my BAByyyyyyyyyyy.... !!!!

A week at home made my baby more 'sticky' to me... when I am out of his sight jer I can hear him calling me "Mamaa... Mamaaaaa"... then this morning my maid told me that when he woke up, he was looking & calling for me "Mamaa.. Mamaaa.. " (sedih kan :( )

Oh ya ! and so farny tau my Katkoot ne skarang .... from where he comes out with these word, MasyaAllah ....

He said TOMATO - "Ma Ko Ko"
And
CAMERA -
"Ma Ka Ka"

And now susah nak put him to sleep .. when I told him to sleep & bacer doa jer dier start "Uweeekk... uweeeeeekkk.... Mamaaa babyyy.... Uweekkk.... Uweekkkk.... " then he goes "Meow.. Uff, uff.... Mmbeeekkk ... Haaaauuugghhhh.... Oink..oink .... Mooooo .... Ku..ku..kukk....quack... quack....." and all sorts of sounds lah ! ONE hour later baru dier tido !!... Haizzzz budak ni !! Hahaha .......
=================


Footnotes :

My love grows deeper with time,
Grows stronger with every test,
May the experiences, the joy, the sorrow...
Be our lessons for tomorrow...

What we may not know today,
May we realise them the next day,
Guide us ya Allah, I pray
Don't let us go astray....

Protect my family always...
Love & contentment till the last days...... InsyaAllah

Ameen...

To have and to loose ..........

** It's all under CONTROL **

Qur'an Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector": and in Allah must Believers place their trust.
~ Surat At-Tawbah 9:51

[Lessons from this Verse]
Whatever tests you are going through today, Allah knows it. He is your protector. Turn to Allah in submission and worship, placing your trust in Him, and watch what happens!



** You don't know PAIN **

From the Qur'an:
{It may be that you detest something which is good for you; and it may be you love something even though it is bad for you. Allah knows, and you do not know.}

~ Surat AlBaqarah 2/216

[Lessons from this verse]
Pain doesn't feel good when it happens, but Allah knows that it may be the best thing for us at that moment. And sometimes we may be praying so hard for stuff, and Allah knows how bad it is for us. Allah knows and we do not. Trust in Allah.

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

Footnote :

For that little time we were together,
I thank Allah for the wonderful experiences,
For now, we have to part our ways,
With much pain, I have to let you go,
My 'doa' will include you always .....


You never ever will leave my heart ...

Till we meet again, InsyaAllah...

Ameen ....
