SEMINIT SAJA....IT TAKES ONLY A MINUTE....


This is a "forward" article. It is a gentle reminder to all of us which the writer adds humour, evolving our day to day living. So much so that we can take a good look in the mirror and laugh at ourselves.

I ought to thank the writer for his/her thoughts who had saved me a lot of time thinking to write such an article and therefore "SEMINIT SAJA" deserves everyone's attention.

UNQUOTE

As fellow Muslims we ought to remind one another and correct ourselves from wrong to right. The expression "MENJAGA TEPI KAIN ORANG" or ''MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS" do not help us here and in the hereafter "akhirah". It is a wake-up call and when one repents to Allah, both individuals get the "pahala" blessings from Allah. On the other hand individualism has no role too. Human need to communicate with one another. There is no such thing as "you watch your grave and I watch mine". What happens if we both lie side by side in our graves!!!
