30 hours ago, I escaped from being kidnapped (Chin Xin-Ci) - source “As I sit here writing this, I am just so grateful to be alive. To think that 30 hours ago I had a knife to my throat, face to face with the threat of being kidnapped and raped. It was a Sunday, at 5.22PM. I was alone, walking towards my boyfriend's car in level B2 of The Curve, Mutiara Damansara . He was not in town, and I was running errands with his car. Just as I was putting my shopping bags in the rear seat, the rear car door was slammed against my back, and a meat cleaver was pressed against my throat. A man covered my mouth with his hand, and whispered not to scream. He then shoved me onto the floor of the backseat of the car and waved the cleaver at me, reminding me not to scream. He was skinny, wearing a baggy turqoise blue t-shirt, had a thick moustache and short curly hair, approx 5'8", mid-30s, and of Indian descent. At this moment, second man appeared. He was also i...

Nabi s.a.w. bersabda: "Orang yang paling sabar antara kamu adalah orang yang memafkan kesalahan orang lain padahal dia berkuasa membalasnya" (Riwayat Ibnu Abiduyya dan Baihaqi)  source  "Dan hendaklah mereka memafkan serta melupakan kesalahan orang-orang itu, tidakkah kamu suka supaya Allah mengampunkan dosa kamu?Dan ingatlah Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Mengasihani". (al-Nuur: 22)

I read in one of my friends FB yesterday that she heard from an ustaz "ciri-ciri orang yang tak solat atau solatnya tidak khusyu' ialah dia cepat marah-marah.." nauzubillah.. Happy friday peeps.. credit to mawarnafastari

having economics background, i understand how complex and difficult some terms and jargons in economic textbooks. and I have not gone into the graphs and curves yet. (yup my marks were not that great) sometimes when hubs asked me questions on economics and finance, i tried so hard to make him understand but in the end he just made this blur look and we both went silent everytime it's either because i'm not good at explanation or i ,too, did not fully understand (sorry dear!) and now, I'm glad there's someone who are kind enough to explain all those in non-economist language check the videos and articles at kopitiamekonomi.com it helps!! just to share links to some of the articles and videos: http://kopitiamekonomi.com/read/talking-national-accounts-gdp-gni-and-what-they-really-mean/

I've been thinking really hard about this for the past 3 weeks Everytime I look at my baby, I wonder, what will happen to her if I'm not around? Who will take care of her? How are they going to take care of her? I don't know, that feeling sort of overwhelmes me It made me really worried Because you'll never know what will happen the next second I'm not rich, I don't have parcels of lands or equity shares or thousands of ringgits in bank account or jewelleries in safe box to leave to Hannan I don't even have a safe box! Have you ever thought about it? Maybe it's about being a mother Or maybe God is just giving me some signs And then I was talking to hubs, that we are so lucky being covered under his employee benefit (alhamdulillah) but there's no guarantee that he will forever stay in his current unit for us to continue being covered under his EB So I started browsing through, searching for info and making comparison and doing some m...

It's about our the sunnah of our Prophet the way they deliver the message really touch your heart reminds you of things you may know but don't practise The programme is aired right after everyday azan on the channel among other things that  I learned from the programme: -Tidak dibenarkan melaknat satu pun kejadian Allah, termasuk haiwan -Sekiranya kita memanggil anak kecil dengan mengatakan padanya yang kita akan memberikan sesuatu tetapi kita tidak memberikannya, maka kita akan dicatat sebagai penipu -Membelikan hadiah/buah tangan untuk keluarga/rakan merupakan sunnah Nabi many more..watch the programme ya

Extract from my old emails .. Bertanyalah kepada mereka (yang musyrik itu): "Siapakah yang memberi rezeki kepada kamu dari langit dan bumi? Atau siapakah yang menguasai pendengaran dan penglihatan? Dan siapakah yang mengeluarkan makhluk yang hidup dari benda yang mati, dan mengeluarkan benda yang mati dari makhluk yang hidup? Dan siapakah pula yang mentadbirkan urusan sekalian alam?" (Dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu) maka mereka (yang musyrik) tetap akan menjawab (mengakui) dengan berkata: "Allah jualah yang menguasai segala-galanya!" Oleh itu, katakanlah: "(Jika kamu mengakui yang demikian), maka mengapa kamu tidak mahu bertaqwa?" (Yunus: 31) Agar keikhlasan itu dapat dirasa, datanglah segala musibah untuk berbicara, dalam bentuk yang di luar bayangan dan jangkaan kita. Kerana kita manusia yang lupa, bahawa kita semua adalah hamba. Status yang menjadikan kita sentiasa layak untuk diuji, dan diperlakukan apa sahaja oleh Pemilik kita (dengan selautan hikma...

Sabda baginda SAW dalam satu hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam al-Bukhari dan Muslim dari Abi Hurairah RA bermaksud: “Seberat-berat solat ke atas golongan munafiq ialah solat `Isya’ dan solat Subuh. Jika mereka tahu kelebihan pada kedua-dua solat tersebut, tentu mereka akan menunaikannya (secara berjemaah) walaupun dengan cara merangkak (ke tempat solat)" Daripada surah An-Nisa' ayat 142.. "Sesungguhnya orang-orang munafik itu melakukan tipu daya (terhadap agama) Allah (dengan perbuatan pura-pura beriman sedang mereka kafir pada batinnya), dan Allah pula tetap membalas tipu daya mereka (dengan membiarkan mereka Dalam keadaan munafik). Apabila mereka hendak berdiri sembahyang, mereka berdiri dengan malas. mereka (hanya bertujuan) riak (memperlihatkan sembahyangnya) kepada manusia (supaya disangka Bahawa mereka orang Yang beriman), dan mereka pula tidak mengingati Allah (dengan mengerjakan sembahyang) melainkan sedikit sekali (jarang-jarang sekali)" Credits t...

"Bukankah Kami telah melapangkan untukmu dadamu? Dan Kami telah menghilangkan daripadamu bebanmu? yang memberatkan punggungmu? Dan Kami tinggikan bagimu sebutan (nama)mu? kerana sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan itu ada kemudahan sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan itu ada kemudahan maka apabila kamu telah selesai (daripada suatu urusan) maka kerjakanlah dengan bersungguh-sungguh (urusan) yang lain dan hanya kepada Tuhan mu hendaknya kamu berharap.."

This sermon was delivered on the Ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, 10 A.H. ( 623AD) in the Uranah valley of Mount Arafat in Mecca. It was the occasion of annual rites of Haj. It is also known as the Farewell Pilgrimage. After praising and thanking Allah the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) began with the words: "O People! Lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen carefully to what I am saying and take these words to those who could not be present here today." "O People! just as you regard this month, this day ,this city as sacred ,so regard the life and property of every Muslim a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that he will indeed reckon your deeds." "Allah has forbidden you to take usury, therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital is you...

To all women out there: 1. Don't ever tell your personal problems about your husband or your in-laws to someone else's husband.  2. Don't say things like "i wish i can conceive your child" to someone else's husband 3. Don't call someone else's husband "abang" unless you are his blood sister 4. Don't ask someone else's husband to fetch you from your meeting for whatever reason 5. Don't regard someone else's husband as your best buddy 6. Don't think that someone else's husband understands you better than your own. They don't. Please do care about a wife's feelings no matter how you were raised or what your religous view is.

haahh... just came back from our 4-day south trip. was longing to write so much things because of so much things happened in the past few days.. but i guess i'll start with this one first. you know, no matter how much you like or love daughter/son in-laws, PLEASE, PLEASE don't do the followings: 1- don't give them surprise visits when they least expect it. there are days that your children want to be all lazy  and just cuddle in the bed..they are not in the mood to dress nicely or kemas the house (especially the kitchen) 2-don't check out their refrigerator to see what's there for cooking, unless they requested you to. because kitchen is actually a private place and it's about their personal touch 3-don't decorate their home. it is very unlikely that you'll have the same taste as your son or daughter in-law. let them decorate their own space. don't say things like "sofa tu letak la kat sini" or "i think that table is better...

Daripada Sayidatina Aisyah r.a., telah berwasiat Rasulullah s.a.w. Sabdanya: “Hai Aisyah, aku berwasiatkan wasiat ini, maka hafalkanlah olehmu akannya. Engkau akan sentiasa dalam kebajikan selagi engkau menghafali wasiatku ini. “Hai, Aisyah peliharalah dirimu kerana bahawasanya kebanyakan kaum wanita menjadi isi neraka dan kayu apinya. Lalu aku bertanya, “Wahai Rasulullah, mengapakah terjadi yang demikian itu?” Jawab baginda, “Kerana mereka tidak sabar di atas kesusahan, tidak memuji Allah atas kemurahan-Nya, mengkufuri nikmat-Nya, banyak berkata kepada perkara yang sia-sia. Kaum perempuan juga kurang pada akal dan agamanya. Adapun kurangnya pada agama, bahawasanya perempuan itu pada setiap bulan meninggalkan solat sekian-sekian harinya dan keadaan kurang akal ialah Allah s.w.t menjadikan dua orang saksi wanita bagi ganti seorang saksi lelaki. "Hai Aisyah, adalah kebanyakan wanita apabila diberi; tiada bersyukur dan apabila ditimpa bencana tidak sabar. Apabila dipalingkan ...
