Distraction

My textbook is wide open in front of me...crying out for me to read it...huhu...sorry buku....why am I so lazy huh? I soo want to read and study but there are too many distractions around me...I once remember watching one episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Malcolm's eldest brother need to study to pass an examination that was soo important....but he was so easily distracted that he was forced to study in an empty room with nothing with him except for his textbook...but..to his delight, he was able to find a reason to distract him from studying, a strand of hair or a dust, I can't really remember....thank you Allah that I'm not thaatt baadly distracted...but still..I have to work on my focus skills...huhuhu...it'll be bad if you're talking to someone about something serious but you are distracted by a stain on their face or even the reflection of light on their teeth (happened to me) *grin*....unimportant things becomes the only thing that we can think of at that time...how much I hate it when that happens...prevent me from doing something smoothly and the way it should be...camane nihh? =(

I guess it all come back to how we perform and carry out our deeds and ibadah ...because everything is reflected from them rite?....In my prayers, maybe I did not put enough khusyuk in it...that is why I'm so easily distracted by other stuff when I'm trying to finish my chores and works...sounds logical? let us all think about this for a moment shall we?

A hadith to reflect on this...(tanak cakap blindly w/o any persandaran to agama)

"The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad." [Recorded by al-Tabarani. According to al-Albani, it is sahih. Al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol.1, p. 503.

Demi Masa

This Surah is among the shortest Surah in al-Quran. Surely, it is true that precious things come in small packages and that can be seen here in this surah....Allah reminds us about time...one thing that we always take for granted...even though at times we try really hard to treasure it...there will always come a time when we fail to really appreciate it... In this Surah, Allah swears by time... this shows how important time is..and then Allah proceed by saying 'Verily human being is at loss. Except for those who have faith and do righteous deeds and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to patience'

See how beautiful the ayats of Allah swt is? First He remind us, so that we become aware, then He guide us, so that we are not lost and know what to do to bring ourselves closer to Him and gain His love. He is always here to guide us...He never leaves us ... when we feel lost, we can always come back to His words ... we recite it...and insyaAllah we'll find the way...

So, the short reminder here is that, in order to try our best not to fall into the category of people in loss, we must make sure that at every moment of our lives, we are in the state of iman, doing something good, at least once a day invite others to do good things, and remind them of something good...a simple question asking about their welfare is good enough..or blogging like this is good enough too *^_^* kot...klu ade orang bace laaa..hope it can be read and remind us about who we are and bring us back to Allah...insyaAllah~

Have we recite al-Quran today? Did we gave thanks to Allah for another day we are breathing on this earth? Did we think about our sins and ask Allah for forgiveness?
Know that Allah is always here for us...all we need to do is ask from Him...and insyaAllah...everything that is good for us in this world and Hereafter will become easier for us to achieve (ape punye ayat keling tunggang langgang laa nih...maaf...) ^_^V

Remember that Allah loves us ..it is us that need to learn to love Allah and need Allah's love...;P

Benefits of Solat

RE-reading my blog told me that I overwhelmed my entry...huhu...sorry aa eh...was too absorbed with the content..should have wrote it shorter and make it more meaningful I guess..instead of just plain long...

So..this time I'll try to make it shorter....insyaAllah, using my already existing notes from previous halaqah and also usrah...I'll try to share it with you guys..insyaAllah....

:: The Benefits of Solat ::

There are many benefits of solat of course, and if you Google it too you'll get a lot of feedback...and here is one of the many...may we become more aware of our prayers after this...

1. Fajr (Subuh)
# whoever prays Fajr for 40 consecutive days (in Jamaah), he is exempted from two things,
(i) from Hellfire
(ii) from hypocrisy

2. Zuhr
# Allah will protect from the 'wave of heat' in Mahsyar on the Day of Judgement and also from the Hellfire

3. 'Asr
# it is the time when Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree
# whoever prays 'Asr, Allah will forgives all his sins just like the day he was born

4. Maghrib
# Allah forgives the sins of Adam
# whoever prays with complete certainty (khusyu') and hope to Allah, any du'a after the
prayer with expectation of reward from Allah will be mustajab

5. Isya'
# the only known mandatory solat on all the prophets before the assigned wajib solats
# two benefits from this is :
(i) Allah forbid Hellfire from punishing this servant
(ii) Allah will grant him a light while he is crossing the Sirat al-Mustaqeem


The first deed that will be judge on the Day of Judgement is his solats. If the solat is good, then all the other deeds are good.And if the solat is bad, then all of his other deeds are ruined - HR Thabrani
