BELIEVE IN YOURSELF :)

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.

But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep Believing in Yourself!

I want to be your best loyal slave , o Ya Allah :)

What goes around comes around !

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Syafiq.”

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Syafiq crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Syafiq just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Syafiq never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Syafiq added, “And think of me.”
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Syafiq.

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: “You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.”
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard….
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Syafiq.”

There is an old saying “What goes around comes around.”

Ya Rasulullah , i miss you :'(

Rasululluh SAW is a great leader. He was a fair leader, wise, gentle, good, and a premier leader :)

oh Messenger of Allah, I want to meet you once. I longed once asking for intercession (syafaat)  from you, Ya Prophet Muhammad. I miss  you very much,Ya Rasulullah (Messenger of Allah) . May you receive me as your people, O Messenger of Allah .

True story :)

This is a true story of a young woman who went through the most gruesome fire. When you read her story, you’ll realize that your trials are absolutely nothing compared to what this young girl went through.

It was September 25, 2000. Maricel Apatan was an 11-year old girl in Zamboanga. On that day, this little girl went with her uncle to draw water.

Along the way, four men met them. They were carrying long knives. They told her uncle to face down on the ground, and they hacked him on the neck and killed him.

Maricel was in total shock, especially that the men were their neighbors. She tried to escape, but the men ran after her.

She cried, “Kuya, ‘wag po, ‘wag n’yo akong tagain! Maawa po kayo sa akin!” (“Don’t kill me! Have mercy on me!”)

But they weren’t listening. With a long knife, a man slashed her on the neck too.

Maricel fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she saw a lot of blood. She also saw the feet of the men around her, but she pretended to be dead.

When they walked away, Maricel ran back home. But along the way, she saw that both her hands were falling off. Because the men hacked them too. She cried but she kept running.

Sometimes, she would faint and fall to the ground. But she’d regain consciousness and run again.

When she was near her home, Maricel called her mother.

Upon seeing her daughter, her mother screamed in terror. She wrapped her bloodied child in a blanket and carried her to the hospital.

Here was the problem: From her house to the highway, it was a 12-kilometer walk. It took them 4 hours just to reach the highway.

When they arrived in the hospital, the doctors thought Maricel was going to die. But for 5 hours, they operated on her. It took 25 stitches to stitch together the long knife wound in her neck and back.

Maricel barely survived. And she lost both of her hands.

Ironically, the next day was Maricel’s birthday. She was 12 years old.

But tragedy didn’t end there. When they went home, they saw their home was gone. It was ransacked and burned down by the goons.

Being very poor, Maricel’s family also didn’t have P50,000 for their hospital bills.

But God sent many angels along the way to help them.

Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, a distant relative, paid for hospital bills and helped them bring the criminals to court. They were sentenced to prison.

Today, she’s staying with the nuns at Regina Rosarii with Sr. Eppie Brasil, O.P.

But this is the incredible miracle. Instead of staying down, Maricel kept running.

Instead of cursing God why she had no hands, she now uses her wrists in incredible ways that will boggle your mind.


Maricel Apatan
Maricel was cited as the most industrious, best in computer, and most courteous in the School for Crippled Children.

In 2008, she graduated from a course in Hotel and Restaurant Management. She even received a Gold medal for Arts and Crafts.

In 2011, she finished her education to be a chef. Yes, a Chef without hands.

Nothing can stop this young lady from reaching her dreams

SABAR

Assalamualaikum :)

Memahami erti sabar bukanlah satu perkara yang mudah. Tidak semudah mulut yang berkata-kata dan tidak semudah menulisnya di atas kertas. Dalam erti kata lain, sang mulut lebih mudah bergerak berbanding sang pelaku. Sabar memerlukan praktikalnya dari sang pelaku. Sang pelaku yang menerbitkan bagaimana erti sabar yang difahami olehnya. Ya akhi, memang tidak mudah untuk kita menjadi seorang yang penuh dengan sifat sabar.

Rasul-rasul ‘ulul azmi merupakan rasul-rasul yang paling banyak menerima musibah sepanjang mereka berdakwah kepada kaum mereka. Dugaan yang diterima bukan calang-calang dan belum tentu kita mampu mengalas segala musibah yang ditimpakan ke atas mereka. Kisah Nabi Ibrahim yang diperintahkan untuk menyembelih anaknya, Nabi Ismail. Kita juga pernah mendengar kisah Nabi Nuh yang berdakwah selama 950 tahun namun hanya 80 sahaja yang mengikut baginda. Malah isteri dan anak-anaknya menentang usaha dakwah yang dilakukan oleh suami dan ayah mereka sendiri.

Kisah Nabi Muhammad s.a.w yang dilahirkan tanpa bapa sejak lahir. Kehilangan ibu dan datuk kesayangan sewaktu seusia kanak-kanak yang tengah berseronok bermain dengan rakan-rakan yang lain. Perjalanan hidup baginda penuh dengan herdikan, cacian dan hinaan dari masyarakat Mekah.

Bagaimana mereka semua ini mampu menghadapi segala ujian dan musibah? Masakan dan mustahil mereka mampu melakukannya sekiranya diri mereka tidak dipenuhi dengan nilai dan pemahaman tentang sabar. Sesungguhnya para anbiya’ telah menunjukkan praktikal yang terbaik untuk kita semua. adakah kita dapat mengikutinya dan memahami nilai sabar itu secara total?

Untuk lebih memudahkan pemahaman secara praktikalnya kitta boleh melihat pada sejarah hidup baginda. Wajah Baginda nabi Muhammad sentiasa gemilang dengan senyuman. Sentiasa melangkah utuh atas jalan dakwah dan penuh keyakinan walaupun ditapak kakinya penuh dengan duri. Bagaimana baginda masih mampu untuk menceriakan muka dan menaikkan semangat para sahabat kala dalam hatinya penuh dengan pengalaman ranjau dan badai. Semuanya ini memerlukan kesabaran. Bukan kesabaran yang hanya tumbuh ditepi bibir tapi sabar yang tumbuh segar dalam hati dan jiwa seorang yang bergelar hamba. Seorang hamba yang memikul tugasan dakwah yang sungguh berat. Hatta gunung yang kelihatan utuh takut untuk membawa risalah kepada umat manusia. Dalam mendidik diri untuk menjadi seorang yang sabar juga memerlukan kesabaran. Sabar dalam bersabar.

Moga-Moga kita menjadi antara golongan yang sabar.



Suatu hari, Rasulullah s.a.w. berjalan melalui satu tanah perkuburan. Di satu sudut, didapati ada seorang wanita duduk di sisi pusara anaknya sambil menangis.

Rasa simpati terbit dalam hati Rasulullah, lantas Baginda bersabda bermaksud: “Bertaqwalah kepada ALLAH dan bersabarlah.”

Sebaik sahaja mendengar lafaz sabar, wanita itu naik angin. Dihalaunya Rasulullah, “Jauhkan dirimu daripadaku! Engkau tidak menderita ditimpa musibah sepertiku.” Jelaslah, wanita itu tidak tahu bahawa pesan sabar itu lahir dari hati seorang Rasul. Sebab itu agak kasar bicaranya.

Namun, Rasulullah s.a.w. sedikit pun tidak tersinggung. Baginda meneruskan perjalanan Baginda.Setelah diberitahu oleh orang yang ada berdekatan bahawa yang menasihatinya itu ialah Rasulullah, rasa bersalah terbit dalam hatinya. Wanita itu segera bergegas pergi menemui Rasulullah s.a.w. Itulah akibat cepat melenting dan tidak bersabar.

Lafaz pertama yang terbit saat dia menemui Rasulullah ialah ucapan maaf. “Maaf, aku tidak mengenalimu wahai Rasulullah.” Nabi s.a.w. tetap tenang, malah ucapan Baginda berupa wahyu itu memandu kita tentang sabar hingga hari ini. Sabda Baginda s.a.w. yang bermaksud: “Sesungguhnya kesabaran itu ialah pada hentaman (pukulan) pertama.” [Muttafaq 'alaih]

QURAN - OUR BEST FRIEND :)

Assalamualaikum :)

(May peace, blessings, and mercy of Allah (swt) be upon all of you)

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: “When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, the man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased.

When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakeer(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, “He is my companion, he is my friend. I will not  leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise.”

Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, “I am the Qur’an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief.” When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala’ul A’laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: “On the Day of Judgement, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than the Qur’an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.”May Allah bestow his favour on all of us.
