it starts from within....

today i am going to talk about a very important topic which probably is the most important of all to be understood by everyone. It is about 'niyyah'..or in the malay language 'niat', in english 'intention'.Based from the very first hadith of the 40 hadith of the prophet which says 'innamal a'ma lu binniyyat' ila akhir. It basically means that all our actions start from the intention. It is soo significant that it becomes the first hadith to be learned in the context of 40 hadith simply because, if one don’t understand this concept, it is pointless to talk about other aspects of life because we cannot distinguish ourselves what is pure and what is in the contrary. In Islam, pure intention is fundamental. Allah judges one good deed based on what he or she initially wishes or intends before carrying out the deed. For example, if someone gives donation regardless of the amount, and the reason being that he wanted to be known as someone generous among his people, then the deed does not count. The same goes in performing 'solah' or 'fasting'. If we pray 5 times a day, but merely to please someone or to impress people, Allah will reject the deed and throw it back to our face. With good intention, comes good actions...and vice versa. But sometimes, good actions can also come from bad intentions and these are the ones that must be avoided by all means at all costs because it is not just destructive from the human relations point of view but ultimately, with the damage it may cause, we bring Allah’s wrath unto ourselves.

Allah is the most gracious the most merciful, with 1 good intention, we get 1 reward, if that intention is followed by actions, Allah will grant us more and more reward as He pleases, not just 1. However, Allah’s rahmah and His immense love to us is unfathomable and this is one of the reasons. Because with 1 bad intention, we wont be counted. But if that intention is followed by a bad action, that is counted as 1. Furthermore if we manage to hold ourselves and prevent from carrying out the actions out of the bad intention, Allah will grant us 1 reward. For example, 1 bad intention crosses your mind and that is to eat someone else’s food. You are soo hungry that you know if you eat that food, it will keep you going for the rest of the day. But then it crosses in your mind that you might get a better food somewhere else, so eventually you decide not to take it……Do not ever underestimate Allah’s Rahmah and blessings. Even with that simple act, Allah gives us 1 reward…1 reward out of doing nothing really! Don’t u see how beautiful that is!!!!!??? Allah makes it easy for us to gain rather than losing but what we are doing most of the time is losing…at times until we broke.(more dosa than pahala) nauzubillah… So think about it….Let us all remind ourselves and convey it to others….Always bear in mind to do something to please Allah. As this will count all our deeds as ibadah and if we die this way we’ll die as a martyr……..wallahua’lam

                            

g6pd

have u guys ever heard of this term before?Or perhaps do u have a condition called g6pd?Some ppl may have misunderstood it as a disease but in actual fact it is not...so what is it? G6pD stands for glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. It is basically an enzyme that all normal human body would possess. However probably due to some genetic condition, some people may have deficiency of this enzyme in the body which will persist through out life time...How do u know u have it?? Usually it is detected shortly after birth..in which the baby present with jaundice( kekuningan). Someone with g6pD, must NOT eat a bean called 'FAVA BEAN' or 'kacang parang' and must NOT be prescribed with some list of medicines which will in worst cases prove to be life threatening....Caution should ba taken if ur 'kacang-fan' as u might not notice the bean is in the pack of kacang that ur enjoying! It will lead to hemolysis of red blood cell( sel darah merah pecah) and eventually death, since red blood cell is ultimately important in providing oxygen to the tissues in ur body. Having G6PD is not the end of the world..y not?? because it wont affect ur health and life as long as u dont consume those i had mentioned.U will lead a normal life style..no fatigue, no anything..but it is just that u can never be a good samaritan to donate blood to others..g6pD means ur blood is not suitable for others to use..it is meant for u ..just U!! ur red blood cell is not as strong as others so should u donate blood to others..ur causing more harm than good..but if ur losing blood for some reasons(God forbid)..no need to worry because having g6pd does not restrict u from receiving blood from others...:)..anyone has anything to share on this??i have g6pd btw..it does not bother me in anyway..y shud  it bother u?

blogging

blogging?hmm new hobby?not for me at this stage but i find it rather interesting to share my thoughts about this even though i must admit i am quite left behind in this blogging-stream...what makes blogging so interesting to some ppl is the fact that it replaces diaries, memos, or other mediums ppl used to have to record their daily activities, stories, stupid jokes or even secrets..and further more exciting because we can share it with anyone on the globe as long as they r connected to us virtually..Based on a study, blogging has now become the 2nd most tremendous evolution after telephones in terms of connecting ppl..65million ppl until recently has been blogging...definitely im not one of them yet..but im not surprise if im gonna be one in the future..thanks to the world of no barrier with globalization at the front line, all the impossibles now have become very possible.....a fren of yours in Kuala Lumpur can update u about his or her latest stories, some ppl prefer gossips, share pictures which alywas tell u more than words can do...in fact, to some extent political ideas, bizarre arguments can all be projected and thrown into this virtual world with no difficulties...what is that blogger expecting from u??COMMENTS.....CRITICS....PRAISE and all these sort of things which basically reflects how do people around u perceive ur arguments, or appreciate ur thoughts, and how much do they appraise and understand what ur trying to say...Some other parties, may not just enjoy reading ur blogs and ur stories but concomitantly they judge u...ur thoughts, ur stories, ur way of thinking, ur words, ur pictures and sometimes ur jokes, they reflect Who you are!They may not be describing in a holistic way...but they are to some extent true be it in a good way or who knows perhaps the bad way...but above all..i think blogging keeps ur mind active..so enjoy blogging!!
