The Rib and the Women

Narrated Abu Huraira

548-Sahih Al-Bukhari hadith

Allah's Apostle said, "Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely."

Narrated Abu Huraira

7114- Sahih Al-Bukhari hadith

The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor. And I advise you to take care of the women, for they are created from a rib and the most crooked portion of the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the women."

Shahih Muslim 31

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar

The Messenger of Allah observed: O women, you should give charity and ask for much forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell. A wise lady among them said: Why is it, Messenger of Allah, that our folk is in bulk in Hell? Upon this the Holy Prophet observed: You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. I have seen none lacking in common sense and failing in religion but (at the same time) robbing the wisdom of the wise, besides you. Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense and with religion? He (the Holy prophet) observed: Your lack of common sense (can be well judged from the fact) that the evidence of two women is equal to that of one man, that is a proof of the lack of common sense, and you spend some nights (and days) in which you do not offer prayer and in the month of Ramadan (during the days) you do not observe fast, that is a failing in religion. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of AbuTahir with this chain of transmitters.

Types Of Hearts

compiled from the works of:

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, Ibn Al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya, and Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

Just as the heart may be described in terms of being alive or dead, it may also be regarded as belonging to one of three types; these are the healthy heart, the dead heart, and the sick heart.

The Healthy Heart:

On the Day of Resurrection,those who come to Allah with a healthy heart will be saved. Allah says: "The day on which neither wealth nor sons will be of any use, except for whoever brings to Allah a sound heart. (26:88-89)"

In defining the healthy heart, the following has been said: "It is a heart cleansed from any passion that challenges what Allah commands, or disputes what He forbids. It is free from any impulses which contradict His good. As a result, it is safeguarded against the worship of anything other than Him, and seeks the judgement of no other except that of His Messenger (sallalau alaiyhi wassallum). Its services are exclusively reserved for Allah, willingly and lovingly, with total reliance, relating all matters to Him, in fear, hope and sincere dedication. When it loves, its love is in the way of Allaah. If it detests, it detests in the light of what He detests. When it gives, it gives for Allaah. If it withholds, it withholds for Allaah. Subhaan Allaah Nevertheless, all this will not suffice for its salvation until it is free from following, or taking as its guide, anyone other than His Messenger (sallalau alaiyhi wassallum)."

A servant with a healthy heart must dedicate it to its journey's end and not base his actions and speech on those of any other person except Allah's Messenger (sallalau alaiyhi wassallum). He must not give precedence to any other faith or words or deeds over those of Allah and His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah says:

"Oh you who believe, do not put yourselves above Allah and His Messenger, but fear Allah, forAllah is Hearing, Knowing. (49:1)"

The Dead Heart:

This is the opposite of the healthy heart. It does not know its Lord and does not worship Him as He commands, in the way which He likes, and with which He is pleased. It clings instead to its lusts and desires, even if these are likely to incur Allah's displeasure and wrath. It worships things/people other than Allah, and its loves and its hatreds, and its giving and its withholding, arise from its whims, which are of paramount importance to it and preferred above the pleasure of Allah. Its lust is its guide. Its ignorance is its leader. Its crude impulses are its impetus. It is immersed in its concern with worldly objectives. It is drunk with its own fancies and its love for hasty, fleeting pleasures. It is called to Allah and the akhira from a distance but it does not respond to advice, and instead it follows any scheming, cunning shayton. Life angers and pleases it, and passion makes it deaf and blind (1) to anything except what is evil.

To associate and keep company with the owner of such a heart is to tempt illness: living with him is like taking poison, and befriending him means utter destruction.

The Sick Heart:

This is a heart with life in it, as well as illness. The former sustains it at one moment, the latter at another, and it follows whichever one of the two manages to dominate it. It has love for Allah, faith in Him, sincerity towards Him, and reliance upon Him, and these are what give it life. It also has a craving for lust and pleasure, and prefers them and strives to experience them. It is full of self-admiration, which can lead to its own destruction. It listens to two callers: one calling it to Allah and His Prophet (sallalau alaiyhi wassallum) and the akhira; and the other calling it to the fleeting pleasures of this world. It responds to whichever one of the two happens to have most influence over it at the time.

The first heart is alive, submitted to Allah, humble, sensitive and aware; The second is brittle and dead; The third wavers between either its safety or its ruin.

Notes:

It has been related on the authority of Abu'd-Darda' that the Messenger of Allah, sallalau alaiyhi wassallum , said, "Your love for something that makes you blind and deaf."Abu Daw'ud, al-Adab, 14/38; Ahmad, al-Musnad, 5/194. The hadith is classified as hasan.

HABITS FOR SUCCESS IN THE FAMILY

1. Start by choosing the right spouse (Nur : 34)
2. Efforts must be exerted to correct any defects in a spouse once married. Develop the family spiritually. Remember Allah often. (Nur : 87)
3. Inculcate iman in the children. Follow the sunnah and read the Quran regularly especially sura baqara. Take care of your family's education. Teach your spouse and children. Set up both book and audio-visual libraries. Invite good people to visit your home (Nuh : 28)
4. Treat your family as a small social unit. Establish shura by discussing family matters with your spouse and children. Some problems amicably and within the family. Children should not be allowed to see differences or conflicts between the parents. Exchange visits with good families. (Nur : 61)
5. Guard jealously the privacy of your home (Nur : 23, 28, 53)
6. Keep family secrets within your home.
7. Exercise control. Monitor what the children are doing.
8. Make sure that the family follows fixed meal and sleep times.
9. All members of the family should co-operate in the household work.
10. Joke and have some fun and humor with the members of your family. Avoid waste and extravagance. Waste leads to poverty.
11. Do not live a life of hyperconsumerism. Buy only what you need. It's even advisable to buy less than what you think your needs are, because you often over-estimate those needs. Resist temptation to always 'want' things. Do not try to show off or compete.
12. Avoid debts. A debt is an instrument of enslavement.

WHAT ELSE YOU WANT TO KNOW?

1. Religion is basis for family formation (Quran 2 : 221)

3. Family is a source of tranquility (Quran 25 : 74)
4. Husband as head of the family (Quran 4 : 34)
5. Wife is a leader in her home - Narrated Ibn Umar : The Prophet said, 'All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards, The ruler is a guardian and the man is a guardian of his family; the lady is a guardian who is responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards' (Bukhari 7:98 hadith #128)
6. Duty to save family (Quran 66 : 1, 3-6)
7. Kindness for the young; respect for the old – 'Hazrat Amr bin Shuaib relates on the authority of his father who heard it from his father, that the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said : A person who has no compassion for our children and does not honor our elders is not from us' (Abu Daud and Tirmidhi) (Riyadh 1:217, hadith #355)
8. Expenditure on family is sadaqa – Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari : The Prophet said, 'When a muslim spends something on his family intending to receive Allah's reward it is regarded as sadaqa for him' (Bukhari 7:201, hadith #263)
9. Justice takes precedence over family (Quran 4 : 135)
10. Financial security – Narrated Umar : The Prophet used to sell the dates of the garden of Bani An-Nadir and store for his family so much foods as would cover their needs for a whole year' (Bukhari 7:204, hadith # 270)

The Barakah And Blessings Of Bismillah

WHEN BISMILLAH WAS REVEALED ...

Sayyidina Jaabir (RA) is reported to have said that when Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem revealed, the clouds gave way by moving to the East, the winds ceased blowing, the oceans became calm, the creatures prepared themselves to listen, the shaytaan got pelted with fire from the heavens and Allah Ta'ala, swearing an oath by His honour, declared: Anyone who says this name of mine (ie. Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem) upon anything, I will surely impart barakah in that thing, (Durre Manthoor and Ibne Katheer)

BISMILLAH BEFORE WAHEE

In Durre Manthoor Sayyidina Ibne Umar (RA) is reported as saying that surely, whenever Jibreel (AS) used to bring wahee to Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam), he used to first recite Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem .

The reason for the above is as follows: in Bismillah there are three names of Allah:

1. Allah which is His personal name indicating that all projects can only be initiated by the will and wish of Allah.
2. Rahmaan (Kind) which is His attributive name indicating that only Allah can keep that project intact and existent (guarding it against destruction).
3. Raheem(Most Merciful) which is also His attributive name indicating that only Allah can,through His mercy and grace, enable any person to derive benefit from that project.

This clearly proves that any project begun with Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem will be granted barakah and blessings from the beginning till the end.

BISMILLAH BEFORE DOING ANYTHING

It is for this reason that Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi- wasallam) used to recite Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem before doing any work. And he (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) also advised the Ummah to do the same. For example, reading it before shutting the door for the night, before putting out the light, before taking meals, before drinking water, before boarding a conveyance, and when alighting any conveyance.

REMEMBERING ALLAH THROUGH HIS THREE THOUSAND NAMES

It is mentioned in Tafseer Roohul Bayaan that Allaamah Sayyid Haqqi (RA) said that Allah Ta'ala has three thousand names. He revealed one thousand to the angels, one thousand to the ambiya(AS), three hundred are mentioned in the Toraah, three hundred in the Zaboor, three hundred in the Injeel, and ninety-nine in the Holy Qur'aan. One Name He has kept to Himself; He revealed it to no one. Also, He has condensed all His names into the three names contained in Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem. They are Allah, Rahmaan and Raheem. Any person saying Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem; it is as though he has remembered Allah by all His names.

BISMILLAH - A MEANS OF HIGH STATUS IN THE HEREAFTER

Rasoolullah (Sallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) is reported as saying that any du'a which is begun with is not rejected. Because of saying Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem the scales of my Ummah will become heavy on the Day of Qiyaamah. The other people will enquire: "Why is the virtues of the Ummate Muhammadiyyah so heavy?" Their prophets will say: "In the utterances of the Ummate Muhammadiyyah there is such an honourable name of Allah that if it is placed on the one side of the scale, and the sins of the entire creation is put onto the other side then the side with the virtue will be heavier.

A HADEETHE QUDSI

Rasoolullah (Saliallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said that Sayyidina Jibreel made mention of this Hadeeth under oath that he heard it from Sayyidina Mika'il(AS) under oath who in turn heard it from Sayyidina Israfeel (AS) under oath that Allah Ta'ala said: "By my honour, grace and grandeur, whoever reads Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem and Soorah Faatihah jointly once, then you be witness that I shall not burn his tongue and I will save him from the Fire as well as the punishment of the grave and the day of Qiyaamah.

Note: Reading Bismillah and Sooratul Faatihah jointly means to read it as follows:
Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem mil hamdu lillaahi rabbil aalameen.....

SAYING BISMILLAH BEFORE WUDHU

Rasoolullah (Sallailaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: "One who does not say Bismillah before wudhu, his wudhu is incomplete." (Tirmizi). It is reported from Sayyidina Abu Hurairah (RA) that anyone who does not say Bismillah before wudhu, only the sins committed by the limbs which are washed in wudhu will be washed away; and one who says Bismillah before wudhu, the sins of the entire body will be washed away. (Mishkaat)

SAYING BISMILLAH BEFORE MEALS

Sayyidina Umar Ibne Abee Salmah (RA) reports that Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said to me: "Say Bismillah and eat with your right hand the food that is in front of you." (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi)

Whoever used to eat without saying Bismillah, Rasoolullah(Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) used to hold his hand and urge him to say Bismillah. (Zaadul Ma'aad,Uswah-e-Rasoole Akram).

The Ulama have said that it is preferable to say the Bismillah aloud so that it is a reminder for those who forget. Also, Ibne Habbaan is reported as saying that if Bismillah is said prior to utilising any bounty of Allah and Alhamdu- lillah is said after utilising it, the user will not be asked to the give accountability for that bounty on the Day of Qiyamah.

WHEN UNDRESSING

Sayyidina Anas (RA) reports from Rasoolullah (Sallallaa- hu-alayhi-wasallam) that when a person undresses for the purpose of either relieving himself or bathing or having relations with his spouse then the shaytaan interferes and plays with his or her private parts. But if he or she says Bismillah before taking off the clothes, then this serves as a barrier and safety against the shaytaan and jinn. (Tirmizi)

OTHER WONDERS OF BISMILLAH

Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) is reported as saying that as long as people keep on saying Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem it will be a means of safeguarding them against sicknesses; a means of granting riches to the destitute; a means of freedom against the Fire; a means of safeguard against being swallowed by the earth; a means of safety against faces becoming distorted; and a means of safety from stones raining down from the heavens. (Ghunyatut Taalibeen Page 157)

Verily my happiness is my iman &verily my iman is in my heart & verily my heart does not belong to anyone but Allah (Asma bint Abu Bakr R.A)

"The power of iman is such that once it fills the heart of a true believing Mu’min it is impossible to be removed." (Sahih Bukhari)

"Allah The God, Muhammad (s.m) The Messenger, Quran is Our Constitution, Sunnah The Right Path, Shari'ah The Best Law, Heaven is our Desire"

"We Call you to the Teaching of Islam,The Guidence of Islam,The Rules of Islam, The Way of Islam,Lead you to the way of jannah"

"When Money is lost nothing loss, Health is Lost ,something Loss But Character is Lost ,every thing loss!"

World Cup Spoiler

Brazil won the world cup in 1994.

Before that, he had won this title for the last time in 1970.

If you add up: 1970 + 1994 = 3964

Argentina won the world cup for the last time in 1986.

Before that only in 1978.

And 1978 + 1986 = 3964

Germany, though, won the world cup in 1990.

Before that, Germany won in 1974.

Look: 1990 + 1974 = 3964

This could lead us to guess the winner of the World Cup in 2002, since it should be the winner of the 1962 World Cup (In fact 3964 - 2002 = 1962).

And Brazil won the world cup in 1962!

(And, in fact, Brazil won the 2002 WC)

This numerology seems to work...

And now, who would be the winner of the 2006 world cup?

Let's see, 3964 - 2006 = 1958

And who won in 1958?

Oh, Brazil did!!!

Surat Untuk Kaum Hawa Tersayang

Dimana saja berada
Ayang /Anja / Honey /Darling / Dinda / Intan payung / gunung berapi etc *

1. Seperti yang sedia maklum , abang setiap bulan terpaksa menghadapi perangai ayang yang berubah mengikut pasang surut bulan setiap bulan tanpa gagal. Abang selalu menjaga hati ayang tanpa gagal ketika kedatangan period ayang tanpa soal. Abang jaga ayang bagaikan menatang minyak yang penuh. Amat besarnya pengorbanan yang abang lakukan selama ini untuk menjaga kerukunan perhubungan kita yang telah bertapak sejak lama. Kini relakah ayang melakukan pengorbanan yang agak kecil terhadap abang?
2. Dr. Joseph Blatter dari Klinik FIFA telah mengesahkan yang abang akan mengalami period abang yang hanya berlaku 4 tahun sekali ini dari 9hb Jun 2006 hingga 9 Julai 2006. Kesan period ini mungkin akan berlanjutan sehingga seminggu selepas tarikh tersebut. Abang akan menghadapi masalah untuk tidur malam dan mungkin berjaga hingga ke awal pagi Untuk mengurangkan tekanan dan mood abang dalam tempoh tersebut, preskripsi dan cadangan di bawah ini telah disarankan :-
3. Dalam tempoh tersebut ayang dikehendaki sentiasa membaca berita sukan pada akhbar harian yang menfokus tentang Piala Dunia 2006 di Jerman. Jika ayang gagal melakukan perkara ini, ayang mungkin rasa terabai jika tidak dapat berkomunikasi dengan baik dengan abang pada masa tersebut. Oleh itu ayang janganlah komplen jika rasa diri diabaikan dalam masa period ini.
4. Dalam tempoh period abang ini adalah dimaklumkan bahawa ayang akan diberi kebebasan untuk menonton rancangan tv kegemaran ayang dari bermula dari 6 pagi hingga ke 9 malam. Manakala dari 9 malam ke 6 pagi, abang yang akan memegang remote control dan hak memilih chanel yang digemari. Ayang dilarang sama sekali mengerling ke arah remote control pada masa tersebut.
5. Jika ayang terpaksa melintasi di hadapan tv di waktu tersebut, ayang hendaklah tunggu sehingga masa rehat atau commercial break ataupun merangkak perlahan-lahan agar tidak menganggu konsentrasi abang. Jika ayang bercadang untuk berbogel di hadapan tv pada waktu tersebut, pastikan ayang memakai pakaian semula selepas itu kerana abang takut ayang akan demam kerana kesejukan. Abang takut abang tidak mempunyai masa untuk membawa ayang ke klinik dan juga melayan ayang selepas itu.
6. Semasa perlawanan langsung disiarkan, abang seakan buta, pekak dan juga bisu kecuali bila abang memerlukan pertolongan ayang untuk membuat air atau mengambil makanan ringan. Kasih sayang abang akan bertambah kepada ayang jika ayang sentiasa memastikan makanan ringan sentiasa tersedia untuk abang semasa perlawanan berlangsung.
7. Ayang adalah dialu-alukan untuk duduk dan menikmati perlawanan bersama abang tetapi ayang hanya boleh bercakap semasa half time atau commercial break. Ayang dilarang sama sekali menggoda abang pada masa ini terutama jika pasukan yang abang sokong sedang ketinggalan atau berada diambang kekalahan.
8. Replay untuk setiap gol yang dijaringkan adalah amat penting. Berapa kali replay disiarkan abang tetap mau melihatnya. Ayang tak perlu merungut mengata bahwa gol tu dah tengok kenapa nak tengok lagi?
9. Ayang perlu memberitau saudara mara atau rakan karib bahwa jemputan ke jamuan atau kenduri yang diadakan selepas 9 malam ke atas yang memerlukan kehadiran abang tidak dapat dipenuhi kerana abang tak nak pergi.
10. Jika kawan abang menjemput kita ke rumah mereka untuk menyaksikan perlawanan langsung bersama-sama, maka ayang perlu bersiap sedia dengan kadar segera.
11. Selepas period abang ini abih... ayang dilarang merungut: siib baik world cup 4 tahun sekali jer kerana abang telah immune dengan rungutan tersebut dan juga selepas period ini akan ada pula English League, Italian League, UEFA League, Piala Malaysia dan lain-lain.
12. Atas kerjasama dan timbang rasa ayang ini, jika pasukan yang abang sokong menang piala dunia atau player yang abang sokong menang kasut atau bola emas... pandai-pandai la ayang bodek abang untuk dapatkan hadiah. Jika sebaliknya hendaklah ayang turut berduka.

Akhir kata. Majulah sukan untuk negara!.

Abang yang sentiasa menyayangimu walaupun period ayang datang setiap bulan.

Kisah Benar Pemuda Arab Belajar di Amerika

Ada seorang pemuda arab yang baru saja menyelesaikan bangku kuliahnya di Amerika. Pemuda ini adalah salah seorang yang diberi nikmat oleh Allah berupa pendidikan agama Islam bahkan ia mampu mendalaminya. Selain belajar, ia juga seorang juru dakwah Islam. Ketika berada di Amerika, ia berkenalan dengan salah seorang Nasrani. Hubungan mereka semakin akrab, dengan harapan semoga Allah SWT memberinya hidayah masuk Islam.

Pada suatu hari mereka berdua berjalan-jalan di sebuah perkampungan di Amerika dan melintas di dekat sebuah gereja yang terdapat di kampong tersebut. Temannya itu meminta agar ia turut masuk ke dalam gereja. Mula mula ia keberatan, namun karena desakan akhirnya pemuda itu pun memenuhi permintaannya lalu ikut masuk ke dalam gereja dan duduk di salah satu bangku dengan hening, sebagaimana kebiasaan mereka. Ketika pendeta masuk, mereka serentak berdiri untuk memberikan penghormatan lantas kembali duduk.

Di saat itu, si pendeta agak terbeliak ketika melihat kepada para hadirin dan berkata, "Di tengah kita ada seorang muslim. Aku harap ia keluar dari sini." Pemuda arab itu tidak bergerak dari tempatnya. Pendeta tersebut mengucapkan perkataan itu berkali-kali, namun ia tetap tidak bergerak dari tempatnya. Hingga akhirnya pendeta itu berkata, "Aku minta ia keluar dari sini dan aku menjamin keselamatannya. " Barulah pemuda ini beranjak keluar.

Di ambang pintu, pemuda bertanya kepada sang pendeta, "Bagaimana anda tahu bahwa saya seorang muslim." Pendeta itu menjawab, "Dari tanda yang terdapat di wajahmu." Kemudian ia beranjak hendak keluar. Namun, pendeta ingin memanfaatkan keberadaan pemuda ini dengan mengajukan beberapa pertanyaan, tujuannya untuk memalukan pemuda tersebut dan sekaligus mengukuhkan ugamanya. Pemuda muslim itupun menerima tentangan debat tersebut.

Pendeta berkata, "Aku akan mengajukan kepada anda 22 pertanyaan dan anda harus menjawabnya dengan tepat."Si pemuda tersenyum dan berkata, "Silakan! Sang pendeta pun mulai bertanya, "Sebutkan satu yang tiada duanya, dua yang tiada tiganya, tiga yang tiada empatnya, empat yang tiada limanya, lima yang tiada enamnya, enam yang tiada tujuhnya, tujuh yang tiada delapannya, delapan yang tiada sembilannya, sembilan yang tiada sepuluhnya, sesuatu yang tidak lebih dari sepuluh, sebelas yang tiada dua belasnya, dua belas yang tiada tiga belasnya, tiga belas yang tiada empat belasnya. Sebutkan sesuatu yang dapat bernafas namun tidak mempunyai ruh! Apa yang dimaksud dengan kuburan berjalan membawa isinya? Siapakah yang berdusta namun masuk ke dalam surga? Sebutkan sesuatu yang diciptakan Allah namun Dia tidak menyukainya? Sebutkan sesuatu yang diciptakan Allah dengan tanpa ayah dan ibu! Siapakah yang tercipta dari api, siapakah yang diadzab dengan api dan siapakah yang terpelihara dari api? Siapakah yang tercipta dari batu, siapakah yang diadzab dengan batu dan siapakah yang terpelihara dari batu? Sebutkan sesuatu yang diciptakan Allah dan dianggap besar! Pohon apakah yang mempunyai 12 ranting, setiap ranting mempunyai 30 daun, setiap daun mempunyai 5 buah, 3 di bawah naungan dan dua di bawah sinaran matahari?"

Mendengar pertanyaan tersebut, pemuda itu tersenyum dengan keyakinan kepada Allah. Setelah membaca bismalah ia berkata,

• Satu yang tiada duanya ialah Allah SWT.
• Dua yang tiada tiganya ialah Malam dan Siang. Allah SWT berfirman, "Dan Kami jadikan malam dan siang sebagai dua tanda (kebesaran kami)." (Al-Isra': 12).
• Tiga yang tiada empatnya adalah kesilapan yang dilakukan Nabi Musa ketika Khidir menenggelamkan sampan, membunuh seorang anak kecil dan ketika menegakkan kembali dinding yang hampir roboh.
• Empat yang tiada limanya adalah Taurat, Injil, Zabur dan al-Qur'an.
• Lima yang tiada enamnya ialah Solat lima waktu.
• Enam yang tiada tujuhnya ialah jumlah Hari ketika Allah SWT menciptakan makhluk.
• Tujuh yang tiada delapannya ialah Langit yang tujuh lapis. Allah SWT berfirman, "Yang telah menciptakan tujuh langit berlapis-lapis. Kamu sekali-kali tidak melihat pada ciptaan Rabb Yang Maha Pemurah sesuatu yang tidak seimbang." (Al-Mulk: 3).
• Delapan yang tiada sembilannya ialah Malaikat pemikul Arsy ar-Rahman. Allah SWT berfirman, "Dan malaikat-malaikat berada di penjuru-penjuru langit. Dan pada hari itu delapan orang malaikat men-junjung 'Arsy Rabbmu di atas (kepala) mereka." (Al-Haqah: 17).
• Sembilan yang tiada sepuluhnya adalah mu'jizat yang diberikan kepada Nabi Musa yaitu: tongkat, tangan yang bercahaya, angin topan, musim paceklik, katak, darah, kutu dan belalang.
• Sesuatu yang tidak lebih dari sepuluh ialah Kebaikan. Allah SWT berfirman, "Barang siapa
  yang berbuat kebaikan maka untuknya sepuluh kali lipat." (Al-An'am: 160).
• Sebelas yang tiada dua belasnya ialah jumlah Saudara-Saudara Nabi Yusuf .
• Dua belas yang tiada tiga belasnya ialah Mu'jizat Nabi Musa yang terdapat dalam firman Allah, "Dan (ingatlah) ketika Musa memohon air untuk kaumnya, lalu Kami berfirman, 'Pukullah batu itu dengan tongkatmu.' Lalu memancarlah daripadanya dua belas mata air." (Al-Baqarah: 60).
• Tiga belas yang tiada empat belasnya ialah jumlah Saudara Nabi Yusuf ditambah dengan ayah dan ibunya.
• Adapun sesuatu yang bernafas namun tidak mempunyai ruh adalah waktu Subuh. Allah SWT ber-firman, "Dan waktu subuh apabila fajarnya mulai menyingsing." (At-Takwir: 18).
• Kuburan yang membawa isinya adalah Ikan yang menelan Nabi Yunus AS.
• Mereka yang berdusta namun masuk ke dalam syurga adalah saudara-saudara Nabi Yusuf, yakni ketika mereka berkata kepada ayahnya, "Wahai ayah kami, sesungguhnya kami pergi berlumba-lumba dan kami tinggalkan Yusuf di dekat barang-barang kami, lalu dia dimakan serigala." Setelah kedustaan terungkap, Yusuf berkata kepada mereka, " tak ada cercaan terhadap kamu semua." Dan ayah mereka Ya'qub berkata, "Aku akan memohonkan ampun bagimu kepada Rabbku. Sesungguhnya Dia-lah Yang Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang." (Yusuf:98)
• Sesuatu yang diciptakan Allah namun tidak Dia sukai adalah suara Keledai. Allah SWT berfirman, "Sesungguhnya sejelek-jelek suara adalah suara keledai." (Luqman: 19).
• Makhluk yang diciptakan Allah tanpa bapa dan ibu adalah Nabi Adam, Malaikat, Unta Nabi Shalih dan Kambing Nabi Ibrahim.
• Makhluk yang diciptakan dari api adalah Iblis, yang diadzab dengan api ialah Abu Jahal dan yang terpelihara dari api adalah Nabi Ibrahim. Allah SWT berfirman, "Wahai api dinginlah dan selamatkan Ibrahim." (Al-Anbiya': 69).
• Makhluk yang terbuat dari batu adalah Unta Nabi Shalih, yang diadzab dengan batu adalah tentara bergajah dan yang terpelihara dari batu adalah Ash-habul Kahfi (penghuni gua).
• Sesuatu yang diciptakan Allah dan dianggap perkara besar adalah Tipu Daya wanita, sebagaimana firman Allah SWT? "Sesungguhnya tipu daya kaum wanita itu sangatlah besar." (Yusuf: 28).
• Adapun pohon yang memiliki 12 ranting setiap ranting mempunyai 30 daun, setiap daun mempunyai 5 buah, 3 di bawah teduhan dan dua di bawah sinaran matahari maknanya: Pohon adalah Tahun, Ranting adalah Bulan, Daun adalah Hari dan Buahnya adalah Solat yang lima waktu, Tiga dikerjakan di malam hari dan Dua di siang hari.

Pendeta dan para hadirin merasa takjub mendengar jawapan pemuda muslim tersebut. Kemudian ia pun mula hendak pergi. Namun ia mengurungkan niatnya dan meminta kepada pendeta agar menjawab satu pertanyaan saja. Permintaan ini disetujui oleh pendeta. Pemuda ini berkata, "Apakah kunci surga itu?" mendengar pertanyaan itu lidah pendeta menjadi kelu, hatinya diselimuti keraguan dan rupa wajahnya pun berubah. Ia berusaha menyembunyikan kekuatirannya, namun tidak berhasil.Orang-orang yang hadir di gereja itu terus mendesaknya agar menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, namun ia cuba mengelak. Mereka berkata, "Anda telah melontarkan 22 pertanyaan kepadanya dan semuanya ia jawab, sementara ia hanya memberi cuma satu pertanyaan namun anda tidak mampu menjawabnya!" Pendeta tersebut berkata, "Sesungguh aku tahu jawapan nya, namun aku takut kalian marah." Mereka menjawab, "Kami akan jamin keselamatan anda. " Pendeta pun berkata, "Jawabannya ialah: Asyhadu An La Ilaha Illallah Wa Wa Aasyhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasulullah."

Lantas pendeta dan orang-orang yang hadir di gereja itu terus memeluk agama Islam. Sungguh
Allah telah menganugerahkan kebaikan dan menjaga mereka dengan Islam melalui tangan seorang pemuda muslim yang bertakwa.

Malaysian National Excuses

NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR HAIR LOSS: Maggi Mee.

NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR BEING LATE: Traffic Jam.

NATIONAL CONDOM: None. Most Malaysians still feel embarrassed buying condoms. So they rushed into a 7-11, hurriedly grab the nearest pack, any pack, pay and leave before the cashier can even blink an eye.

NATIONAL MOST MIS-PRONOUNCED NAME: Carrefour. Sometimes even pronounced as Carry 4! On second thoughts, why bother pronouncing stupid French brands like Peugeot, Renault or Citroen correctly. I think it sounds better, when the local mechanics say "Pew Jeot". When I was in school, Milo was always 'Mee Lo', now that I'm sophisticated, I say "My Lo". So don't be embarrassed saying "Carry 4" when the Mat Sallehs shamelessly pronounce orang utan as "rangutan".

How 2 Check If The Man Is Still A Virgin

A very 'straight and honest' girl is going to Kuala Lumpur. Before she left, her mother gave her some advice.

"Daughter, when you're in KL and if you're looking for a match there, you must take note of the following requirements Mother set for you. You must find a man that is 'faithful', not 'spendthrift' and must be a 'virgin'."

With this advise from her mother, the girl went to Town. After some months later, she came home to her kampung to get her mother's blessings to marry.

"Mother, I've met my match following your instructions. My future husband is faithful because when we went out for a holiday one day, he took care of me specifically even though there were so many prettier girls around. Isn't that being faithful?".

Her mother nodded in agreement.

"Then, since the day was getting late in the night and rain was pouring, my boyfriend decided that we stay the night at a hotel. He also suggested that in order not to spend too much, we shared one room only. Isn't he not a spendthrift guy?"

For the second time her mother nodded her head in agreement, but with a little concern.

"And finally mum, I know he is a virgin".

"How did you know he is still a virgin?" The mother asked with repidition.

"Mmm... his 'that one' is new... still wrapped up in plastic, mum!"
