There was a hadis I read not so long ago regarding confusion. It has something to do with one's faith. Our faith and knowledge depends on how low it is that sets the confusion.Junohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09093722644268620487noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577513670046320242.post-87125716003822673652011-02-02T13:47:00.004+08:002011-02-02T14:06:18.053+08:00Carrie Underwood - Temporary Home<div style="text-align: justify;">Trying not to get too caught up in this wordly world and seeing the good in all.

We spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy less.<br /><br />We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.<br /><br />We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.<br /><br />We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life, we've added years to life not life to years.<br /><br />We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait.<br /><br />We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; big men and small character; steep profits and shallow relationships.<br /><br />These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stock room.<br /><br />A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.<br /><br />Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.<br /><br />Remember, to say "I Love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment, for some day, that person will not be there again. Give time to Love, give time to speak, give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Especially on this holy month of Ramadhan.

Iman wears out like that "thaub"). So Rasool of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) advised us (since our Iman wears out) "So all of you Muslims, should ask Allah (swt) to RENEW the Iman in our hearts." </i>(Hadeeth reported by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak, Al-Haythami in Majma al-Zawaaid, and by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer)<br /></div><br />For that, we have to know what are the <b>"<u>Signs of weak Imaan</u>"</b>, so we can always be aware. Those are:<br /><br /><ol><li> Committing sins and not feeling any guilt.<br /></li><li> Having a hard heart and no desire to read the Quran.<br /></li><li> Feeling too lazy to do good deeds, e.g. being late for salat<br /></li><li> Neglecting the Sunnah.<br /></li><li> Having mood swings, for instance being upset about petty things and bothered and irritated most of the time.<br /></li><li> Not feeling anything when hearing verses from the Quran, for example when Allah warns us of punishments and His promise of glad tidings.<br /></li><li> Finding difficulty in remembering Allah and making dhikr.<br /></li><li> Not feeling bad when things are done against the Shariah.<br /></li><li> Desiring status and wealth.<br /></li><li> Being mean and miserly, i.e. not wanting to part with wealth.<br /></li><li> Ordering others to do good deeds when not practising them ourselves.<br /></li><li> Feeling pleased when things are not progressing for others.<br /></li><li> Being concerned with whether something is haram or halal only; and<br />not avoiding makroo (not recommended) things.<br /></li><li> Making fun of people who do simple good deeds, like cleaning the<br />mosque.<br /></li><li> Not feeling concerned about the situation of Muslims.<br /></li><li> Not feeling the responsibility to do something to promote Islam.<br /></li><li> Being unable to deal with calamities, for instance crying and<br />yelling in funerals.<br /></li><li> Liking to argue just for the sake of arguing without any proof.<br /></li><li> Becoming engrossed and very involved with dunya, worldly things, i.e. feeling bad only when losing something in terms of material wealth.<br /></li><li> Becoming engrossed and obsessive about ourselves.</li></ol>My Iman fluctuates from time to time which makes me a hypocrite to our creator. I get caught up with the worldly things too.=s Hopefully this can help remind our muslim readers out there.

Didn't kick off the new year with a bang like usual. The quiet change was something I long for but not the reason behind it. So unexpected in within the final month of 2009, whirlwind of emotions stirs up inside due to the death of my dearly late father. Everything happened so quick in a blink of an eye.There weren't any signs to tell he was going. He' has always been a fighter,with his numerous hospital check-ins, Alhamdulillah, he always survived every operation he had to undergo, then.<br /><br />Final goodbyes was left floating like a lost soul floating between heaven and hell. When he left I wished I had spent just one more day with him. But i've overcome that regret although there are times I still wish I have a picture of just us together ='( I'm left with just memories. My birthday too was quiet.<br /><br />Losing one the biggest love of my life has hit me with the truth of more challenges to come. Pain still remains,sadness,grief but I can still be happy. I'll overcome this in my own pace.I'll cry when I want to,when I miss him. This doesn't mean I won't be able to move on. But the good thing to what happened gave us all the time to reflect, to realise the love that's been there all along.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nvW6nuQ2B0s&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nvW6nuQ2B0s&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Thank you for lifting my spirits with your wise jokes in my moments of sadness.Thank you for taking care of me,for taking me in.

Mostly lazy and uninspired which leaves me being ignorant. Since partly it's a John Mayer music blog, he is currently busy working on his new album (the man is a religious twithead! Check his twitter for any unrelated random music updates), so not much i can say there for now. Other than that,my laptop isn't with me at the moment =s<br /><br />As for the author of this blog, well, i can't seem to type how productive my days has been. There are some sports,work,leisure mainly. The productivity being held,is in my mind mainly which better much expressed here huh?(and mostly on twitter but i'm no John Mayer) Some are personal though.Let's just say i'm trying to fix things, make amends. Especially after pulling a stunt during the time of my exams. It's something best not to look at but learn from such mistake. If someone were to ask me what have I learned from this year,i'd say being patient and to take things one step at a time. To THINK before doing anything and plan ahead.Looks like it's time for me to make good again and prepare for the real world.<br /><br />Other than that,summer is here and my lovely friends are back,Alhamdulillah=) I've learned to care for a certain someone which pretty much leads me back to the my loved ones. A realisation of learning to value the people around me.Family,friends,good people in general. I had a good chilled out summer with A. Thank you.It was good to have u back.<br /><br />Enough about me.Ramadhan is here once again,Alhamdulillah. So i'd like to take this opportunity to wish all muslims while we're still performing one of our rukun Islam duties, HAPPY RAMADHAN.May it be a blessed one. And to my family members who are away right now,even if i hardly see them ,I miss them.TTFN!Assalamualaikum=)<br /></div>Junohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09093722644268620487noreply@blogger.com0
