ANUGERAH ALLAH ...

KAMAROZAMAN  - (KAMAL for short) 

MY ADOPTED FAMILY - THEY ARE 'ALLAH'S GIFT TO ME' - ALHAMDULILLAH!

Kamal with his 3 wives: Suzanah (Ana) wife no.1, seated Alina, wife no. 2, next to Alina is Dahlia, wife no. 3.  Through my eyes, they are beautiful, Islamic and live harmoniously with their 16 children.  I knew them when they moved in next door, whilst Kamal was waiting for his 3 houses to be ready for occupancy. They rented for one year. They now live about 20 minutes drive from my home.

Kamal is a conversationalist, his "tauhid" is proficient.  He accepted me just like his own sister. Kamal's and Ana's handphones are always "on" for me. Should I need moral advice with regards to general issues I can speak to him and any issues related to women speak to his wife Ana. He quoted that "at one time a woman approached our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. to seek for our Prophet's advice and our Prophet did not ask his wife's permission."  Also if I were to speak to his wife first, out of 100 percent, Ana could only capture 80 percent and what is the missing 20 percent about? Ana is the "house manager." She takes care all the children when Alina and Dahlia are at work. She gets 1 1/2 days off during weekends.  Their children receive dual education: Islamic and National schools. Kamal had taken wife no. 4 this year and 3 of her children from her previous marriage.  Bought house no. 4 too.  I have not met her yet. InsyaAllah!

FROM THE HEART OF A JOYOUS CHILD

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

I write this letter to you in hopes that you will consider your approach to parenting me before I arrive.  I am a joyous child. I thrive on love and respect, order and consistency. When I arrive, I will seem, very small to you.  Even though I don't look like an adult, please understand that I am a human being.

Even though I will not speak words to you,  I will know you with my heart.  I will feel all your feelings, absorb your thoughts.  I will come to know you more than you may know yourself.  Do not  be misled by my silence.  I am  open, growing and learning more rapidly than you can imagine.

I will make imprints of all that I see, so please give me beauty to rest my open eyes upon.  I will record all that I hear, so please give me sweet music and language that tells me how much I am loved.  Give me silence to rest my ears. I will absorb all that  I feel, so please wrap our life in love.

I am waiting patiently to be with you.  I am so happy to have the opportunity to be alive. Maybe when you see me you will remember how precious life is too!

Your joyous child

PRESENT....

TIME: Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain. - Marcus Antoninus

TODAY: Do to-day's duty, fight to-day's temptation; do not weaken and distract yourself by looking forward to things you cannot see, and could not understand if you saw them - Charles Kingsley

ROSES FOR EVERYONE...

To my loved ones, friends and relatives - wrapping up for month of September 2012

EXERCISE FOR SUCCESS

Think of the pursuit of your dream as being like a major athletic event.  Train for it.  As you prepare and "exercise," you will get stronger - mentally, emotionally and physically. To successfully achieve your dream, you need to keep improving.  The best way to do that is to....

* Keep your body fit.

* Keep your heart flexible.

* Keep your mind open.

* Keep your comfort zone expanding.

UNQUOTE

CEMERLANG DENGAN SEMBAHYANG

"Sesungguhnya telah berjayalah orang-orang yang beriman. (Iaitu) mereka yang khusyuk dalam solat mereka..Dan mereka yang memelihara solat-solat mereka."  Al-Mukminun, 1, 2 & 9

"Sembahyang adalah ibadat yang sangat penting sehinggakan semasa sedang berperang sekelipun tidak boleh meninggalkannya. Sembahyang juga adalah tiang agama."

MUTIARA KATA

Siapa yang mengabaikan penguasa maka ia akan kehilangan dunia.  Siapa yang mengabaikan (tidak pedulikan) ulama maka ia akan rugi dalam hal ugama.  Siapa yang mengabaikan orang jujur maka ia akan kehilangan teladan dalam hal keberanian. Siapa yang mengabaikan (tidak pedulikan) Allah s.w.t. maka ia akan kehilangan dunia dan akhirat. 

Permintaan tolong dari orang lain kepadamu adalah nikmat maka janganlah merasa jemu sehingga malah berbalik menjadi petaka.  Ketahuilah, sesungguhnya saat terbaik dalam hidupmu adalah saat dirimu diperlukan dan bukan memerlukan!

Ilmu adalah pendamping dalam kesendirian, kawan dalam keterasingan, pengiring dikala sepi, penunjuk kepada jalan kebenaran, penolong dalam kesempitan dan tabungan kebaikan untuk kehidupan setelah mati.

DOA MAKAN YE... ALHAMDULILLAH...

LOOKS...

A good face is a letter of recommendation, as a good heart is a letter of credit - Bulwer

 Looks are  more expressive and reliable than words; they have a language which all understand, and language itself is to be interpreted by the look as well as tone with which it is uttered - Tryon Edwards
