10 things we waste

Ten Things We Waste


1. Our Knowledge: Wasted by not taking action with it

2. Our Actions: Wasted by committing them without
sincerity.

3. Our Wealth: (Wasted by using on things that will not
bring us reward from Allah). We waste our money,
our status, our authority, on things which have no
benefit in this life or in akhirah (hereafter).

4. Our Hearts: Wasted because they are empty from the
love of Allah, and the feeling of longing to go to
Him, and a feeling of peace and contentment. In it's
place, our hearts are filled with something or someone
else.

5. Our Bodies: Wasted because we don't use them in
ibadah (worship) and service of Allah.

6. Our Love: Our emotional love is misdirected, not
towards Allah, but towards something/someone else.

7. Our Time: Wasted, not used properly, to compensate
for that which has passed, by doing what is righteous
to make up for past deeds.

8. Our Intellect: Wasted on things that are not
beneficial, that are detrimental to society and the
individual, not in contemplation or reflection.

9. Our Service: Wasted in service of someone who will
not bring us closer to Allah, or benefit in dunyaa.

10. Our Dhikr (Remembrence of Allah): Wasted, because
it does not effect us or our hearts.

-Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah-

what type of person do you want to become?

I'm sure everyone wants to become a better person...
but have you ever asked yourself,
what type of person do you want to become?...
try doing so... really do it... visualize, picture, imagine yourself being that person...

motivated, confident, kind, helpful, calm, cool, happy, loved, etc. ...

wish yourself being that person,

then ask yourself again.. is it enough to just dream? just to imagine?
apa usaha anda untuk menjadi orang tersebut?...

yang berkat jadi mudarat

copy pasted from hikayat kucing belang

Kahwin Awal : Yang Berkat Jadi Mudarat

Entri kali ini dirembat 100% dari sebuah buku yang bertajuk “Satu Rasa Dua Hati” tulisan Pahrol Mohd Juoi. Sama-sama la membaca dan mengambil pengajaran. Satu bab je, kalau nak baca bab-bab yang lain, beli la buku ni. Dapatkan di pasaran dengan hanya RM22.50 bagi Semenanjung Malaysia dan RM27.50 bagi Sabah dan Sarawak.

Majlis akad nikah itu baru sahaja usai. Saya dan beberapa orang sahabat masih menikmati minuman ringan yang disediakan oleh pihak tuan rumah. Tiba-tiba, seorang lelaki tua yang memang saya kenali menarik tangan saya dan bertanya,

sarung cincin dijari”kenapa orang sekarang kahwin lambat sangat?”

Saya lantas menjawab, “Tuk dulu kahwin cepat?”

“Umur 15 tahun nenek kau dah dapat anak seorang…”

Terbayang anak perempuan saya yang menuntut di tingkatan 5 sekarang. Sukar nak membayangkan betapalah di usia itu dia sudah mempunyai anak.

“Bahagia Tuk?”

“Tak bahagia apa…anak Tuk 12 orang!”

Terhibur saya berbual dengannya, semuanya diukur dengan angka.

“Saya berkahwin pada umur 21 tahun. Waktu tu masih menuntut lagi, orang heboh kata saya tak sabar,” adu saya tanpa dipinta. Sengaja mengundang reaksi.

“Tak sabar? Pelik, kalau zaman Tuk, tu kira dah terlajak dah tu.”

“Betulkah saya tak sabar Tuk?”

“Eh, taklah. Kalau nak buat baik, eloklah cepat. selamat dari maksiat. Kalau tak sabar, Tuk lagilah tak sabar, umur 17 tahun dah kahwin, hehehe.”

“Setuju tak Tuk kalau dikatakan soal kahwin ni bukan soal lambat atau cepat, tapi soal dah bersedia ataupun tidak?”

“Setuju. Tapi kenalah huraikan maksud bersedia tu.” Tajam Tuk membalas.

“Kalau ikut Tuk, apa agak-agaknya persediaan tu?”

“Soal ni tak boleh agak-agak, mesti tepat.”

Terkedu saya dibuatnya. Tuk ni bukan sebarang orang.

“Maksud bersedia bukan sahaja dari segi umur. Asal akil baligh dah boleh kahwin. Bukan sahaja diukur oleh badan yang sihat, pendapatan yang cukup, tapi yang penting kematangan diri. Ertinya, seseorang yang nak kahwin mesti dah mula dapat berfikir dengan baik, dah boleh sedikit sebanyak kawal perasaan, dan jiwa tu sikit-sikit dah agak tenang.”

Saya merenung panjang. Tertikam di sudut hati pertanyaan, sudahkah saya matang sewaktu berkahwin dulu?

“Jangan termenung. Tuk Cuma kata, dah sedikit sebanyak matang. Tak payah tunggu matang betul. Nanti tak kahwin pulak.” Usik Tuk seperti dapat membaca fikiran saya. Walau tanpa ijazah, Tuk sebenarnya sedang menjelaskan asas kebahagiaan rumah tangga yang kadang kala tidak dapat ditimba di mana-mana menara gading.

“Macam mana saya nak matang?” Tanya saya perlahan. Malu rasanya untuk diajukan soalan sedemikian di usia 40-an ini. Terasa lambat.

“Tentulah dengan ilmu. Dulu Tuk dan kawan-kawan, umur sebelas tahun dah khatam Quran. Dah selesai belajar fardhu ain. Rukun, sah, batal dan lain-lain ilmu asas dah OK. Bila sudah baligh, buka kitab Muhimmah, baik lelaki, baik perempuan. Dah diterangkan tanggungjawab suami, isteri dan asas-asas kerukunan rumah tangga.”

“Itu saja? Ilmu lain?” Tanya saya ringkas.

“Eh, perlu. Mesti ada ilmu untuk cari rezeki. Yang otak baik, jadilah guru, pegawai kerajaan, ikut keadaan zaman tulah. Tuk ni nasib tak baik. Kerja kampung sahaja, guna tulang empat kerat, buka tanah. Itulah dusun yang Tuk kutip hasilnya sekarang ni..”

“Tapi sekarang Tuk dah senang. Dengarnya dah dua kali naik Haji.”

“Tak senang, tapi mudah-mudahan tenang. Tu la doa Tuk, biar hidup kita tenang.”

“Agaknya, sebab kurang matang nilah orang sekarang kahwin lambat?” Cuit saya, kembali ke tajuk asal.

“Ni agak Tuk lah. Budak sekarang ni tak macam dulu. Mereka ni macam lambat matang.pelamin Kalau dulu umur 13 tahun dah boleh pikul tugas. Dah berdikari, dah boleh harap jaga emak bapak. Setakat jadi imam dan berzanji tu, dah lancar. Tapi sekarang, umur dah 23 pun masih bergantung kepada emak bapak. Nak jadi imam? Jauh sekali.” Terbayang kekesalan di wajahnya.

Dia menyambung, “Sekali tu Tuk tengok betul-betul dengan mata kepala ni macam mana seorang bakal pengantin tersekat-sekat mengucap kalimah syahadah depan tuk kadi. Bila ditanya rukun sembahyang, geleng kepala. Yang dihafalnya rukun nikah saja.”

“Kalau macam tu macam mana?”

“Baik tak usah kahwin. Macam mana dia nak pimpin isteri dan anak-anak nanti? Tu baru ilmu paling asas, belum lagi ilmu…apa orang putih kata…parenting skill.”

“Tuk pun tahu parenting skill?”

“Sekarang ni macam-macam sumber ilmu ada. Di radio, tv, ceramah, buku-buku. Macam-macam ada.”

“Tapi Tuk, kalau tak kahwin pun susah juga…nanti terjebak dengan maksiat,” kilas saya.

“Tulah, ajaran islam ni macam rantai. Lepas satu disambung satu. Bermula dengan yang paling utama, diikuti yang kedua, ketiga dan seterusnya. Ilmu Tauhid, Fekah, dan akhlak perlu diasak di awal usia. Diiring ilmu akademik. Jadi bila dah kahwin nanti, ilmu tu semua dah ada. Persediaan agama ada, persediaan material pun ada.”

“Macam mana kalau dilambatkan kahwin kerana katanya belum bersedia, dari segi material dan agama?”

“Apa pun biarlah berpada-pada. Kalau nak diikutkan ilmu agama, sampai mati pun tak akan habis dituntut. Cukuplah sekadar keperluan dulu dan ditambah lagi selepas kahwin. Begitu juga soal kerja, profesion. Ni pun tak akan habis-habis. Ukurlah ikut keperluan dan kemampuan diri. Jangan sampai terlanjut usia sudahlah. Jangan nanti ilmu ada, matang ada, duit ada, calon pulak tak ada.”

“Tuk lihat macam mana keadaan anak muda masa kini?” terluncur soalan yang berbau akademik tanpa saya sedari.

“Akibat tak ikut tertib dalam menghayati ajaran islam, keadaan jadi agak lintang-pukang sekarang. Yang berkat jadi mudarat. Tak dikahwinkan, buat maksiat. Bila dikahwinkan, tak bertanggungjawab.”

“Antara dua keadaan ni, yang mana kita patut pilih?”

“Perlukah membuat pilihan? Pada Tuk, pilihlah keadaan yang tak memaksa kita membuat pilihan!”

Saya terdiam. Kagum. Kata-kata tersirat itu boleh mengundang seribu wacana para sarjana!

Another (i think more reliable) IQ test i did (click here)


Personalized IQ test results for Muhammad Anas bin Kamarudin !

Your age adjusted IQ score is 132 and the average score of all test takers is 100.

Your IQ score is the result of a formula based on the number of questions answered correctly on the test. This score has been further adjusted to account for the differences in capabilities among various age groups.

Your Grade ** Gifted **

Anyone with a general IQ this high is considered to be gifted. You have the ability to think critically, conceptualize ideas and form your own conclusions. Your ability to think in patterns and to produce order out of chaos enables you to handle complexities and see logic in everything. Needless to say you are self-aware of your abilities and have the brains for all known occupations. If you think of intelligence as the ability to adapt easily to new situations then you are at the top of the charts.

Standard Deviation: 15

The bell curve (also called a "normal curve" or "normal distribution") is a graph that shows approximately how much of the population falls into each IQ range. In theory, if we tested everyone in the world with a traditional IQ test, most people would score in the "Average" range. A smaller number would score moderately below average and moderately above average. Very high and very low scores are rare.


Grade Statistics

Grade Range Percent
Genius >144 0.13%
Gifted 130-144 2.14%
Above average 115-129 13.59%
Higher average 100-114 34.13%
Lower average 85-99 34.13%
Below average 70-84 13.59%
Borderline low 55-69 2.14%
Low <55 0.13%

Mental abilities have the highest correlation with general intelligence of all objectively measurable abilities and they are the primary focus of this test. Furthermore the mental abilities targeted for measurement were specifically chosen because they have been shown to correlate highly with many other abilities. The graphs below show how you scored in various abilities such as pattern recognition and logical reasoning - skills which are all reliable predictors of academic achievement.

Strengths and weaknesses

Your highest score was in Verbal

Exceptional intelligence does not guarantee results -- to achieve excellence you must fully understand your strengths and learn to maximize your efforts. Knowing your greatest intellectual strength may give you insight into how you can improve your learning process, work better with others, or become more self aware of your abilities. According to this test your verbal skills are the most developed of all your intellectual capabilities - your capability to use language effectively and to communicate well is your biggest strength.

Your lowest score was in Spatial

Weaknesses are the roadblocks we face when trying to achieve our goals. Awareness of your weaknesses allows you to predict problems and find solutions ahead of time, thereby alleviating future headaches. According to this test your spatial skills are the most underdeveloped of all your intellectual capabilities - your capability to manipulate 3-D objects in space is your biggest weakness.

Mudah je....

Salamullah 'alaikum.

Kaifa halukum? (apa khabar?)
Kaifa halQuluubakum??? (apa khabar hati?)
.
..
...
selalu kita bertanya khabar kawan kita, sehat ke? da makan ke? penat ke?
tapi pernah tak kita prihatin terhadap HaTi kawan kita?
tenang atau gelisahkah kawan kita, dekat atau jauhkah dia drpd Allah?...
And at the same time perlu juga kita selalu bertanyakan begitu pd diri kita sendiri...


saya sgt tertarik dan suka dengan kata2 ini

Kalau boleh, biar sahabat2 kita masuk syurga dulu drpd kita...


maksudnya di sini, kita menyayangi kawan kita lebih drpd diri kita sendiri ('ithar'),
iaitu tingkat tertinggi dalam berukhwah,
yang mana serendah2 tingkat dlm berukhwah adalah 'husnuzzon' (bersangka baik)
kita menyayangi mereka duniawi dan ukhrawi...

Kita berasa senang sahabat2 sekeliling kita *Healthy, tenang, happy, berjaya, hebat, bahagia, cukup makan, hidup dalam ketaatan kpd Allah, mudah beramal, benci maksiat etc2.

*WHO definition - Health
" State of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease of infirmity"

(mencelah masuk medic sikit, community medicine to be exact)


Sebenarnya nak kongsi hadith ni je...
sgt Mudah.......... tgh duduk2 saja dalam tram/bus, berjalan kaki balik rumah, atau bila2 masa sahaja boleh amalkan...... tidak perlu ntuk kita ke masjid, memegang Quran/kitab atau luangkan masa yg panjang....

عن أبى هريرة رضي الله قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم
كلمتان حبيبتان إلى الرحمن خفيفتان على اللسان ثقيلتان فى الميزان
سبحان الله و بحمده سبحان الله العظيم

Dari Abu Hurairah radhiyallāhu, katanya:
Nabi Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda:
“Dua kalimat yang amat dicintai Ar-Raĥmān, ringan di lisan (lidah) berat di mizan (timbangan):
Subĥānallāhi wa bi ĥamdihi Subĥānallāhil-’azhīm(i).”

[Shaĥiĥul-Bukhariy | Terjemah Hadits Shahih Bukhari Jilid IV hal. 205-206—No. Hadits 2028]
