Smile
Such a sweet smile
Owns by a boy
Someone sees
And then smiles
Smile brings joy
And smile gives comfort
Smile when happy
Also smile after victory
Someone smiles
Shown on the face
But only the heart knows
A sincere smile
Smile with feelings of togetherness
Smile with feelings of care
Smile with a bond of brotherhood
Smile towards a peaceful community
Smile of satisfaction
Can only be own
By someone
For submitting himself
To be a true servant
Of the Beneficient
Smile then
Is forever
There is a garden
Full of roses
Orchids and violets
Beautiful with all colours
A place to sit
A place to relax
Every family will love
Under which river flows
All types of fruits
So near to the hands
Eat whatever and whenever
That pleases whosoever
Whosoever that is chosen
To be in a great garden
And many more in the garden
Specially meant for those pardoned
Makes mistakes but forgiven
To Allah all the devotion
Garden
Guidance
We need to find a guide
A boy says to the rest
A group of boys are planning to climb a mountain
Now what they need is guidance
From an experienced climber
To show them the path and ways
To reach the top
Since small
Man needs guidance
How to feed
How to read and write
How to skip and play
When big
Man still needs guidance
How to be good at home
How to be good at office
How to be good in community
A guidance reaches the heart
It is so special
Why is it so
It comes from Allah
When Allah guides a heart
The owner never goes wrong
Day and night
A little girl says
I sleep at night
And I wake up in the day
Still small
But she knows
After night comes day
And after day comes night
During the day the mother
Busy doing house chores
And the father goes to work
Everybody is happy In broad daylight
When darkness comes
With tired bodies and mind
What can be found
Lying bodies sleeping sound
Day and night
Lets ponder how it changes
From bright to dark
A system so good
To be controlled by human
Glory be to Allah
The Creator
Changing day to night
And night to day
As a blessing to mankind
Promise
A girl is crying
Her father promises her to buy a doll
But he forgets
A teenager was looking
The examination slip shows he fails
He promises to study hard
But he doesn’t
So many people make promises
Some keep it
But many don’t
A promise
Easy to make
Hard to fulfill
Except for those determined
One
Who fulfills his promise
Even a deed
Small a mustard seed
Will be rewarded

With whom are you going
A father asks his son
A friend

One friend or many friends
It doesn’t matter

And that is a friend
Sometimes difficult
Sometimes takes time
To find a friend
That really cares
Happy times and sad times
A friend is always there
Rekreasi minda
Bos: Aku dengar ngko selalu hilang time kerja, apasal?
Pekerja: Saya pergi semayang bos!
Bos: Aku bukan tak bagi ngko semayang, tapi pastikan keje siap dulu!
Pekerja: (dalam hati)..Masya-Allah!Dia tau ke apa yang dicakapkan ni?
Bos: Ngko semayang kuat-kuat pun belum tentu masuk syurga! ….kalau kerja tak siap, syarikat rugi juta-juta! Camana orang Islam nak maju?
Pekerja: Bos keje sampai kaya raya pun, bukan boleh beli syurga!
Bos: Er…anu..bukan camtu maksud aku!…Err……
..kite seringkali terlupa, dalam usaha mencari kekayaan di dunia, kite lupa pada pemilik kekayaan yang hakiki, iaitu pencipta kita yang Maha Esa..ingat Allah selalu, jangan kite lupa, insyaAllah..
Qana’ah
Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda : Qana’ah adalah suatu harta yang tidak akan habis
Qana’ah bermaksud menerima apa yang ada. Redha dengan pemberian Allah ta’ala kepada dirinya, kerana merasa bahawa memang itulah yang sudah menjadi rezekinya. Namun sama sekali tidak menghentikan usaha untuk menambah yang kurang dan berusaha menyempurnakan sesuatu yang dirasakan belum memuaskan. Orang yang memiliki sifat qana’ah ini pasti tidak mempunyai sifat tamak terhadap pemberian dan tidak loba dengan harta yang menjadi hak milik orang lain.
..this is an article that i get from the net.. it is simple to understands and logic. Sis Yasmin wrote this masa isu hangat tentang sisters in Islam yg suddenly annouce that women should lead prayers.
This answer was kindly provided by Sister Yasmin Mogahed, a member of Ask About Islam Editorial Staff. Yasmin is an Egyptian-American journalist based in Wiscons in,USA.
What we so often forget is that God has honored women by giving them value in relation to God- not in relation to men. But as western feminism erases God from the scene, there is no standard left but men. As a result, the western feminist is forced to find her value in relation to a man. As in doing so she has accepted that man is the standard, and thus a woman can never be a full human being until she becomes just like a man – standard.
When a man cut his hair short, she wanted to cut her hair short. When a man joined the army, she wanted to join the army, and so on. She wanted these things for no other reason than because the “standard” had it.
What she didn’t recognize was that God dignifies both men and women in their distinctiveness, not their sameness. And on March 18, Muslim women made the very same mistake.
For 1400 years, there has been a consensus of scholars that men are to lead Prayer. As a Muslim woman, why does this matter? The one who leads Prayer is not spiritually superior ion any way. Something is not better just because a man does it. And leading Prayer is not better just because it is leading. Had it been the role of women or had it been more divine, why wouldn’t the Prophet have asked Lady A’ishah or Lady Khadijah, or Lady Fatima – the greatest women of all time – to lead? These women were promised heaven and yet they never lead Prayer.
But now, for the first time in 1400 years, we look at a man leading Prayer and we think, “That’s not fair.” We think so, although God has given no special privilege to the one who leads. The imam is no higher in the eyes of God than the one who prays behind. On the other hand, only a woman can be a mother. And the Creator has given special privilege to a mother. The Prophet taught us that heaven lies at the feet of mothers. Burt no matter what a man does, he can never be a mother. So why is that not unfair?
When asked who is most deserving of our kind treatment? The Prophet replied “your mother” three times before saying “your father” only once. Isn’t that sexist? No matter what a man does, he will never be able to have the status of a mother.
And yet even when God honors us with something uniquely feminine, we are too busy trying to find our worth in reference to man, to value it or even notice it. We too have accepted man as the standard; so anything uniquely feminine is, by definition, inferior. Being sensitive is an insult, becoming a mother is degradation. In the battle between stoic rationality (considered masculine) and selfless compassion (considered feminine), rationality reigns supreme.
As soon as we accept that everything a man has and does is better, all that follows is just a knee jerk reaction: if men have it, we want it too. If men pray in the front rows, we assume this is better, so we want to pray in the front rows too. If men lead Prayer, we assume that imam is closer to God, so we want to lead prayer too. Somewhere along the line, we’ve accepted the notion that having a position of worldly leadership is some indication of ones position with God.
A Muslim woman does not need to degrade herself in this way. She has God as a standard. She has got to give her value; she doesn’t need a man here.
In fact, in our crusade to follow men, we as women never even to examine the possibility that what we have is better for us. In some cases, we even gave up what was higher only to be like men.
Fifty years ago we saw men leaving the home to work in factories. We were mothers. And yet, we saw men doing it, so we wanted to do it too. Somehow, we considered it women’s liberation to abandon the raising of another human being in order to work on a machine. We accepted that working in a factory was superior to raising the foundation of society- just because a man did it.
Then after working, we were expected to be super human- the perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect homemaker, and have the perfect career. And while there is nothing wrong, by definition, with a woman having a career, we soon came to realize what we had sacrificed by blindly mimicking men. We watched as children became strangers, and soon recognize the privilege we’d given up.
And so only now - given the choice - women in the west are choosing to stay home to raise their children. According to United States department of agriculture, only 31% of mothers with babies, and 18% of mothers with two or more children, are working fulltime. And of those working mothers, a survey conducted by parenting magazine in 2000, found that 93% of them say they would rather be home with their kids, but are compelled to work due to “financial obligations”. This “obligations” are imposed on women by the gender sameness of the modern west and removed from women by the gender distinctiveness of Islam.
It took women in the west almost a century of experimentation to realize a privilege given to Muslim women 1400 years ago. Given my privilege as a woman, I only degrade myself by trying to be something I’m not, and in all honesty, don’t want to be a man. As women, we will never reach true liberation until we stop trying to mimic men and value the beauty in our own God given distinctiveness.
If given a choice between stoic justice and compassion, I choose compassion. And if given a choice between worldly leadership and heaven at my feet, I choose heaven.
