Kenapa Perlu Berzikir?
Ibn Taimiyah: “Zikir bagi hati adalah umpama air bagi ikan, bagaimana keadaan ikan apabila berpisah daripada air?”
Inilah gambaran orang beriman, yakin percaya kepada Allah dan menginsafi diri tidak lebih sebagai seorang hamba sangat lemah yang selama ini menerima nikmat Allah tidak terhitung banyaknya.
“Wahai orang beriman, (untuk bersyukur kepada Allah) ingatlah serta sebutlah nama Allah dengan ingatan serta sebutan yang sebanyak-banyaknya; dan bertasbihlah kamu kepada-Nya pada waktu pagi dan petang.”
(Surah al-Ahzab, ayat 41-42)

Kepada Para Isteri, pernahkah bertanya diri sendiri "adakah suamiku sekufu dengan ku?'
Berlainan pula seandainya seorang isteri bersuamikan seorang lelaki yang jauh lebih rendah daripadanya dalam semua perkara. Dalam hal inilah, Islam melihat kafaah sebagai satu aspek yang perlu dijaga. Menurut ulama fiqah, keseluruhan mereka mengambil kira kepentingan sekufu, sehingga didapati Mazhab Syafie meletakkan sekufu sebagai hak seorang perempuan dan hak walinya. Secara ringkas sekufu merupakan hak kepada wanita dan walinya, maka sekiranya salah seorang daripada orang yang berhak ini menghalang perkahwinan disebabkan tidak sekufu, maka perkahwinan itu tidak boleh dilangsungkan.

Wasiat Nabi s.a.w. Kepada Abu Dzar al-Ghiffari r.a.
Dalam sebuah kesempatan sahabat Abu Dzar a-Ghiffari r.a. pernah bercakap-cakap dalam waktu yang cukup lama dengan Rasulullah s.a.w. Diantara isi percakapan tersebut adalah wasiat beliau kepadanya. Berikut petikannya : Aku berkata kepada Nabi s.a.w., “Ya Rasulullah, berwasiatlah kepadaku.” Beliau bersabda :
“Aku wasiatkan kepadamu untuk bertaqwa kepada Allah, kerana ia adalah pokok segala urusan.”
“Hendaklah engkau senantiasa membaca Al Quran dan berzikir kepada Allah azza wa jalla, kerana hal itu merupakan cahaya bagimu dibumi dan simpananmu dilangit.”
“Janganlah engkau banyak tertawa, kerana banyak tawa itu akan mematikan hati dan menghilangkan cahaya wajah.”
“Hendaklah engkau pergi berjihad kerana jihad adalah kependetaan ummatku.”
“Cintailah orang-orang miskin dan bergaullah dengan mereka.”
“Katakanlah yang benar walaupun pahit akibatnya.”
“Hendaklah engkau sampaikan kepada manusia apa yang telah engkau ketahui dan mereka belum mendapatkan apa yang engkau sampaikan. Cukup sebagai kekurangan bagimu jika engkau tidak mengetahui apa yang telah diketahui manusia dan engkau membawa sesuatu yang telah mereka dapati (ketahui).”
”Wahai Abu Dzar, Tidaklah ada orang yang berakal sebagaimana orang yang mau bertadabbur (berfikir), tidak ada wara sebagaimana orang yang menahan diri (dari meminta), tidaklah disebut menghitung diri sebagaimana orang yang baik akhlaqnya.”
Qada dan Qadar - Renungan
"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Tetapkanlah iman kamu kepada Allah swt dan RasulNya, dan kepada Kitab Al-Quran yang telah diturunkan kepada RasulNya (Muhammad s.a.w) dan juga kepada Kitab-kitab Suci yang telah diturunkan dahulu daripada itu dan sesiapa yang kufur ingkar kepada Allah swt dan Malaikat-malaikatNya, dan Kitab-kitabNya dan Rasul-rasulNya dan juga Hari Akhirat, maka sesungguhnya dia telah sesat dengan kesesatan yang amat jauh."
(Surah An-Nisaa': 136)
(Surah Al-Hijr : 21)
(Surah al-Anaam: 59).
‘Tidak boleh ditolak qadar Allah swt melainkan doa. Dan tiada yang boleh memanjangkan umur melainkan membuat baik kepada ibubapa ‘
(Riwayat Hakim, Ibnu Hibban dan Tarmizi).
(HR.Bukhari dan Muslim dari Abdullah bin Mas’ud).
‘Bagi manusia ada malaikat-malaikat yang selalu mengikutinya bergiliran, di muka dan di belakangnya, mereka menjaganya atas perintah Allah swt. Sesungguhnya Allah swt tidak merobah keadaan sesuatu kaum sehingga mereka merobah keadaan yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri. Dan apabila Allah swt menghendaki keburukan terhadap sesuatu kaum, maka tak ada yang dapat menolaknya; dan sekali-kali tak ada pelindung bagi mereka selain Dia.’
(Surah Ar-Ra’d : 11)

Hang Tuah....mitos @ legenda @ dongeng @ rekaan org Melayu ?
A historian has asked his detractors to prove him wrong in his claim that Hang Tuah and other historical figures never existed. “If you do not agree with me, bring out sources to show that I am wrong. “You cannot simply say that you don’t agree. What is the basis?” Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim asked when met at the Interna-tional Conference on the Global Movement of Moderates here yesterday.
Prof Khoo, who is in a committee which will look into the present History curriculum in schools, said legends like Hang Tuah and Princess Hang Li Po were not real because there were no reliable sources to confirm their existence. On Hang Tuah’s grave in Malacca, Prof Khoo said there was no way of telling it was him unless the grave was dug up and the corpse examined. “I know there is a Hang Tuah well in Malacca too but it was built by the local people and they go there at night to ask for lottery numbers,” he added. Prof Khoo, who is from Universiti Malaya, said it was sad that Malaysians were becoming more ignorant of history but were “good at confrontation”.
Asked on the proposed move to allow undergraduates to participate in politics, Prof Khoo said he was worried that if students were given such opportunities, they would be “used” by politicians and would not have time for their studies. On Monday, Prof Khoo said there was no written record of Hang Li Po, Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat and the stories that have made it into the history books were just myths.

The Beatles - When I'm Sixty Four
When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too drear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, Wasting Away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Mishary Rashid Alafasy - Surah Mulk (The Dominion)
Surah Al-Mulk (Dominion)
1. Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things.
2. Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving;
3. Who has created the seven heavens one above another, you can see no fault in the creations of the Most Beneficent. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?"
4. Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out.
5. And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayatin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire.
6. And for those who disbelieve in their Lord (Allah) is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination.
7. When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth.
8. It almost bursts up with fury. Every time a group is cast therein, its keeper will ask: "Did no warner come to you?"
9. They will say: "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said: 'Allah never sent down anything (of revelation), you are only in great error.'"
10. And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!"
11. Then they will confess their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
12. Verily! Those who fear their Lord unseen (i.e. they do not see Him, nor His Punishment in the Hereafter, etc.), theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).
13. And whether you keep your talk secret or disclose it, verily, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men).
14. Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves) All-Aware (of everything).
15. He it is, Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it, etc.), so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision, and to Him will be the Resurrection.
16. Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not cause the earth to sink with you, then behold it shakes (as in an earthquake)?
17. Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning?
18. And indeed those before them belied (the Messengers of Allah), then how terrible was My denial (punishment)?
19. Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in? None upholds them except the Most Beneficent (Allah). Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything.
20. Who is he besides the Most Beneficent that can be an army to you to help you? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.
21. Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision? Nay, but they continue to be in pride, and (they) flee (from the truth).
22. Is he who walks without seeing on his face, more rightly guided, or he who (sees and) walks on a Straight Way (i.e. Islamic Monotheism).
23. Say it is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing (ears), seeing (eyes), and hearts. Little thanks you give.
24. Say: "It is He Who has created you from the earth, and to Him shall you be gathered (in the Hereafter)."
25. They say: "When will this promise (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) come to pass? if you are telling the truth."
26. Say (O Muhammad ): "The knowledge (of its exact time) is with Allah only, and I am only a plain warner."
27. But when they will see it (the torment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be different (black, sad, and in grieve), and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise) which you were calling for!"
28. Say (O Muhammad ): "Tell me! If Allah destroys me, and those with me, or He bestows His Mercy on us, - who can save the disbelievers from a painful torment?"
29. Say: "He is the Most Beneficent (Allah), in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust. So you will come to know who is it that is in manifest error."
30. Say (O Muhammad ): "Tell me! If (all) your water were to be sunk away, who then can supply you with flowing (spring) water?"
