Pity Little goat.

One day, a group of goats went to to eat grass at the usual field as they used to go. Among the goats, there was a little goat named Bing Bing. So, off they went together to their eating field...

At the same time, there was a hungry tiger searching for food.. behind the bushes very near the same field where the goats were..

The tiger was very famous among the goats as many of them had unfortunately kick their bucket inside the tiger's mouth. The tiger was called Mau Mau.

Bing Bing was eating grass with his mother. Suddenly, one of his friends said to him sarcastically;

"Bing Bing the Bing Bing...always want to be by his mother's side.. :p "
"Mom, can I go and eat the grass at the hill side alone?" said Bing Bing angrily to his mother.
"No, you better don't.. it would be very dangerous for you my dear son.."
"Mother, why is it that you always want me to be by your side? I am already grown up, and I can take care of myself! I want to prove to them, that I am stronger and braver than them...who always wanna eat in groups... I can take care of myself!!!" said Bing Bing without considering his mother's advice.

So, off Bing Bing went to the hillside... ALONE..!
Then, you know what happen next??

Mr Mau Mau came to the 'rescue'!! Huhu.. This is what happen to Bing Bing the arrogant little goat!

Moral of the story:)

Surah As Saff 61:4

"Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure."

Allah loves those who served HIM in a group..
Because if we work together, we will be stronger!

Let us be abnormal!

Assalamualaikum wbt :)
May this post find you in the best iman n health insyaAllah..

Alhamdulillah, thanks to Allah for giving me a chance to share sth with all of u again..
This time, I am going to invite all of u to ponder together about our own selves.. Do we really2 know our selves very very well?? How well can we describe ourselves?

Every time we woke up from sleep, have we ever wondered why is it that we always repeat the same thing every day, every year and the time frame goes on..

Early morning, we woke up from sleep, then we go to school/uni/office/ anywhere that we should go because of responsibilities that we have.. be it as a student/ employee/ whatever you call it... then, we go back home, have some lunch --> dinner --> sleep again --> then, woke up again --> then, the same cycle continues... every day..every year.....until we die?

But, why should we think so critically about this cycle.. just let it be? it will only make our head spinning to think too much about the reason behind all this cycle..rite? R we gonna think like this..? If we are created as a tree, or frog or cat etc..then, it's ok to think this way...

BUT, we r neither tree nor animals! Rite? Do we agree on this statement? I really hope we do..:p
And, what makes this thing even more serious is that we r MUSLIMS.. And as MUSLIMS, we must not have the desire to follow the normal way of life! We should always aim to be abnormal = EXTRAORDINARY.. because we dont want to be ended in normal place like the hellfire..rite? We want extraordinary place... we want the jannatulfirdaus..the highest level of jannah..

So, if we want Allah to treat us extraordinarily, we should act extraodinarily..! But how?
Niat (intention) makes the different to the life cycle that all of us have... always niat for Allah's blessings in whatever we do... and do the good things constantly...

"The deed most loved by Allah (are those) done regularly, even if they are small."
[Bukhari n Muslim]

Surah Al Mulk: 1-2
Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He has power over all things,
Who created death and life that He may try you-- which of you is best in deeds; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving,

Below is a video for us to reflect on..insyaAllah...

Pilihlah Aku

Alhamdulillah…tidak mungkin untuk kita mempunyai ruang utk kufur (yakni TIDAK bersyukur)…Mengapa begini???

Cuba kita reflect diri kita semua;
Dari berjuta-juta sperma, Allah pilih kita utk dijadikan manusia yg mana MANUSIA = SEBAIK2 CIPTAAN

“Sungguh kami telah menciptakan manusia dlm bentuk yg sebaik2nya.” (95:4)

Dan dari berjuta2 manusia di muka bumi ini, Allah pilih kita utk tergolong dalam kalangn hambaNya yg bergelar UMAT ISLAM = SEBAIK2 UMAT.

“Kamu umat Islam adalah umat yg terbaik…” (3:110)

Seterusnya, tidak cukup dgn itu, Allah pilih pula kita untuk tergolong dari kalangan hambaNya yg FAHAM tentang agama Islam…
(interpretation dr hadis Rasulullah: sesiapa yg Allah mengkehendaki baginya kebaikan, Allah akan menganugerahkan kepadanya KEFAHAMAN dalam agama).

Tapi agaknya sejauh manakah Allah akan pilih kita??
Mampukah kita menjadi hambaNya yg sentiasa menjadi pilihanNya??
Sukakah kita utk menjadi seperti sperma yg terputus ekornya dlm perjalanan utk mensenyawakan ovum??
Mahukah kita menjadi orang yg tidak dipedulikan Allah…yg tidak menjadi pilihanNya?? Yang tidak memenuhi cita rasa Allah?? dan criteria2 yg Allah tetapkan dlm requirementNYA??

Dan sejauh manakah ‘aim’ kita? Adakah hanya setakat menjadi hambaNYA yg faham…dan kemudian kita hanya menjadi ‘just another muslim’?

Sebagai seorang yg beragama Islam…sewajarnya kita bersetuju akan satu pengakhiran yang sama…kerana hanya dengan adanya ‘the end in mind’ barulah kita dapat mengatur langkah sedikit demi sedikit ke arah ‘long term aim’ itu…insyaAllah…

Tp apakah ultimate aim yg boleh kita cuba capai itu?
Adakah hanya seperti ‘the end in mind’ of a secularist..i.e..for e.g nk jadi seorang dr specialist yg berjaya…n that’s it??
Itu je ke kemampuan seorang muslim yg merupakan sebaik2 umat??

Sepatutnya, each n everyone of us (muslim) mengimpikan untuk meraih syurgaNya,iaitu jannatulfirdaus…syurga yg paling tinggi di sisi Allah…insyaAllah…

Kerana matlamat untuk mencapai jannatulfirdaus lah yg akan membantu kita utk bersungguh2 dlm study, dakwah dan apa jua yg kita lakukan dlm kehidupan seharian kita insyaAllah….

Dan sentiasalah berdoa supaya Allah sentiasa memilih kita dalam pilihanNya dan akhir sekali memilih kita utk tinggal di dlm syurgaNYA yg tertinggi i.e. jannatulfirdaus…amin3…insyaAllah…
