In This Life .............

In this life ......

In this life we need insight to follow the light

In this life we must do just what is right

In this life for many survival is a fight

In this life for some comfort is out of sight

In this life not all will find it pretty and bright

In this life belief will bring us relief

Then Let's live faithful with hope,

Keep on believing in the words of Allah

Follow not those who are proud

As only in Allah's word

In this life we'll ever learn how to cope

In this life belief will bring relief

In this life everything has an end

In this life our lives He just lend

However there will come a time

According to His words

Hereafter life will be happy and bright

In this life only belief will bring us relief

In this life we need His mercy and grace

In this life however hard be your case

Make no waste but with Him keep the pace

In this life belief will bring us relief.

Reflection .........



When we retire at night, we constructively review our day.
Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid?
Do we owe an apology?
Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person at once? Were we kind and loving toward all?
What could we have done better?
Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time?
Or were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what we could pack into the stream of life?


But we must be careful not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to others. After making our review we ask Allah’s forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken.

On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask Allah to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, for after all Allah gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.


In thinking about our day we may face indecision. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask Allah for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We don’t struggle. We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while. What used to be the hunch or the occasional inspiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind. Being still inexperienced and having just made conscious contact with Allah, it is not probable that we are going to be inspired at all times.


We might pay for this presumption in all sorts of absurd actions and ideas. Nevertheless, we find that our thinking will, as time passes, be more and more on the plane of inspiration. We come to rely upon it. We usually conclude the period of meditation with a prayer that we be shown all through the day what our next step is to be, that we be given whatever we need to take care of such problems. We ask especially for freedom from self-will, and are careful to make no request for ourselves only. We may ask for ourselves, however, if others will be helped. We are careful never to pray for our own selfish ends. Many of us have wasted a lot of time doing that and it doesn’t work. You can easily see why.

Fake People ..............

Fake people Are people that are not real
They always try to deceive you
And make you think that
they are the real deal


With fake people You can never see the light
Because when you are staring into their eyes
It's always dark and never bright


Fake people are like mirrors
You can see right through them
They are always lying to you
But you already know it's a scam


Fake people are always trying
To be something that they are not
But when you get a good look at them
You realize that they don't look no where near as hot


Fake people think
That they gain a reputation
But in my eyes
They are an embarrassment to the world
They are always trying to convince you
To believe who they say they are
But a fake person can't fool me


Fake people waste time
But they never pay attention
to the time that they are wasting
Only because their minds are always racing
They are always trying to impress you
With things that you never notice
But you wouldn't be impressed
Even if you noticed
People don't like to be lied to
So I think it's better to tell the truth
And to let people see you
for the real you


You have a chance
To be a leader of the pack
And I don't think that things
Can get any better than that


Fake people think
That they can lie to get what they want
But what they want
Doesn't accept false identity
All that they ask for
Is an ounce of simplicity


Fake people think
that when people tell them the truth
they are the enemy
But all they are trying to do
Is mold you into the person they know you can be
Because deep down inside
I know the real you is a star
And I think that it's time for the fake you
And the real you to depart


Trust me
You don't want to go down that road
Because people Don't have to be rocket scientists to know
That a fake person is living in our society
Lucky for us real people
That we have a variety


Fake people think
That they are being real
But there is no real way to be fake

 
Maybe that will teach them
To put some thought into the decisions
That they make


I will always try to be me
And nobody else
Because if I did
It would be very easy for you to tell


Sometimes fake people Are hard to believe
And they never realize
What the real person within them can achieve
You should rise
From underneath all that clutter
Because there is only one you
And there will never be another
And so the lesson here
Has been discovered
To never become a fake
..........Or you will suffer

Love and Hate .........

~Love and Hate ~ High and low  love and hate how alike but not the same both are pursed with intensity and passion each igniting an inner flame If we had never climbed the mountain would we know how low the valley If we had not suffered the pain of heartache would we feel the wonder of love Is it safer to hide from the world in a illusion of contentment but then what would we have to say of life other than the safe haven we have endured Thus climbing the mountains exploring the depths living and loving as if there is no tomorrow knowing you have endured the worst enjoyed in full the elixir of life by living each day your way as it was meant to be

Makanan Dalam Pantang ...........

Pemakanan ialah aspek yang amat penting dalam rawatan pantang bersalin. Ini kerana proses kehamilan telah mengganggu keseimbangan hormon ibu. Mereka mengalami pelbagai bentuk tekanan dan gangguan emosi akibat perubahan fizikal. Apalagi semasa melahirkan anak, tenaga dikerah dengan hebat, urat saraf banyak yang cedera dan terjadi luka di bahagian tertentu.

Mengikut sesetengah petua Melayu, ibu-ibu dalam pantang disyorkan makan nasi berlaukkan ikan masin atau ikan panggang berkunyit dan meminum air mengikut sukatan jari (dua ruas jari untuk sekali minum). Akibat diet cara ini (kurang berzat dan kurang air) ibu-ibu terdedah kepada risiko penyakit buah pinggang dan tekanan darah rendah. Oleh sebab itulah makan perubatan moden menentang amalan berpantang cara Melayu. Ingin diingatkan, cara pemakanan tersebut bukanlah cara Melayu tradisional yang sejati tetapi merupakan sebahagian cara hidup mereka yang kurang berkemampuan.

Jenis ikan

Ibu dalam pantang dilarang memakan ikan masin atau ikan kering kerana makanan tersebut hanya akan menyebabkan darah nifas berbau busuk, cepat kering serta melemahkan daya ketahanan fizikal dan mental. Ilmu perbidanan Melayu menggalakkan memakan ikan yang segar, mengelakkan ikan yang berbisa seperti bawal hitam, terubuk, duri, pari, sembilang serta parang kerana takut menyebabkan bisa atau bentan pada pintu rahim.

Selain ikan berbisa, jenis ikan yang dilarang yang menyebabkan kegatalan kulit serta menimbulkan reaksi alahan ialah ikan kembung, tamban, cencaru, atau tongkol dan makanan laut seperti udang, sotong, kerang dan lain-lain.

Mengikut petua Melayu, ikan yang disyorkan dalam pantang bersalin ialah haruan dan yu. Ia dipercayai boleh memulihkan luka-luka dalaman dan luaran. Ikan haruan yang hidup di dalam lumpur mengandungi khasiat mineral yang tinggi bagi menyembuhkan luka. Secara tradisi, ikan yu dipercayai dapat membanyakkan susu ibu dan beberapa kajian saintifik turut mendapati perkara tersebut benar.

Ulam-ulaman

Terdapat pelbagai jenis ulam tempatan yang mudah diperoleh di mana-mana, antaranya serai, lengkuas, daun atau ubi cekur, bunga kantan, kunyit hidup, daun kesum serta halia. Ulam-ulaman ini mengandungi fiber, zat galian (mineral) dan pelbagai vitamin, termasuklah A, C dan E, bersifat anti oksidan.

Selain ulam di atas, terdapat ulam berkhasiat yang sesuai dimakan oleh ibu dalam pantang, antaranya:

Daun pegaga, pucuk mengkudu, ulam raja, daun lemuni hitam, daun kaduk, daun sekentut, daun cemumar, daun pudina, daun kari, daun bebuas dan daun ruku.

Jenis sayuran dan buahan

Ibu bersalin dilarang memakan sayur-sayuran menjalar, sejuk serta berangin. Antaranya ialah kangkung, timun, sayur keladi, pucuk ubi, pucuk paku, bayam, sayur atau daun keti (bunga putih), kacang panjang, petola, labu, rebung, kacang botor, jeruk maman, petai, jering serta terung. Ibu bersalin juga harus mengelakkan minuman bergas, sejuk serta tajam seperti air tebu, cincau, kelapa muda serta buah-buahan seperti nenas, jambu, belimbing, durian belanda, mangga, betik, ciku, langsat, tembikai cina, nangka, cempedak, pisang masak hijau, pisang nangka, pisang embun, pisang udang, ubi kayu, ubi keladi, sengkuang, manggis, macang, kuinin, dan binjai. Makanan tersebut dilarang kerana dapat mengakibatkan sakit tulang dan sejuk otot serta lemah sendi. Penyakit-penyakit tersebut diketahui telah banyak berleluasa di barat dan dikenali sebagai artritis dan rheumatisme.

Jenis ayam dan burung

Ibu bersalin disyorkan memakan ayam hitam, ayam didik atau ayam selasih yang digaul dengan halia tua, garam kasar dan madu lebah. Ayam ini dikukus dan diambil patinya untuk mengembalikan ketahanan tubuh. Burung puyuh dan merpati juga baik untuk melancarkan aliran darah dan mengatasi masalah sukar tidur pada waktu malam.

Sambungan Doa Pengasih .............

DOA PENGASIH DARI SURAH AL-QURAN

Bagi pembaca yang selalu bertanya cara-cara berdoa dalam posting "DOA PENGASIH". Berdoalah dengan mengikut adab-adab berdoa sebelum berdoa supaya doa dimakbulkan. Sebelum berdoa kita digalakkan menggunakan ayat-ayat al-Quran.

Firman Allah SWT bermaksud: 

"Dan Kami turunkan dengan beransur-ansur dari Al-Quran Ayat-ayat Suci yang menjadi ubat penawar dan rahmat bagi orang-orang yang beriman kepadanya dan (sebaliknya) Al-Quran tidak menambahkan orang-orang yang zalim (disebabkan keingkaran mereka) melainkan kerugian jua." (Surah Al-Isra': Ayat 82).

Be Thankful .................

A man once approached a wise sage complaining of poverty. The sage asked him: “Would you sell me your eyesight for 100 thousand gold coins?” The man said no. The sage continued: “Would you sell me your hearing for 100 thousand gold coins?” The man again said no. The sage then asked the man about his hands, his feet, his sanity, and his other limbs. To each question the man replied that he would not sell. The sage then pointed out to the man that he had valued himself to the tune of a few million gold coins.


The sage then declared: “You have a great debt upon your shoulders. This great wealth you possess places demands on you. When are you going to show thanks? Instead, you complain that you want more. Your Lord is truly forgiving and generous.”

A person who is free from worry, secure in home and health, takes greater pleasure in food and drink and life in general. The simple everyday enjoyments are savored, like time spent with one’s spouse or children and in partaking of even the simplest meals. The happy atmosphere that comes from being relaxed, feeling safe, and having one’s health makes one’s enjoyments all the greater.


By contrast, if someone possesses a variety of food and drink and wealth in abundance, but lives in a constant state of fear, anxiety, and stress, what that person possesses will be of little real value. The same can be said for a person who is stricken with a serious physical or mental illness.


This is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever is secure in his home, has his health and enough provisions for a day, it is as if he has everything in the world.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhī (2346) and Sunan Ibn Mājah (4141)]

It is a great blessing to have enough food, clothing, and shelter to satisfy one’s needs. There is nothing wrong with desiring more than that, as long as one seeks it by lawful means, since Allah apportions His bounty among His creatures as He pleases. Some people are better off being wealthy. If Allah gives them wealth, they spend a portion of it on the poor and needy. Moreover, they feel humble before Allah in recognition of what He has given them.


We should never forget that Allah provides us with our health, our minds, our food and drink, our children, our good appearances, our strength, our vitality in youth and our good sense. Many of us take these blessings for granted and fail to recognize them as Allah’s gifts. Only those whose hearts are alive with faith recognize the blessings in everyday things. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Allah is pleased with a servant who praises Him when he eats something and praises Him when he has something to drink.” [Sahīh Muslim (2734)]

We show our thanks to Allah for all of His blessings when we praise Him. Is it a small thing to have your health and strength? Is it a small thing to live assured of enough food and drink, a home to live in, clothes to wear, and the means to get around?

” Glorified be He who has subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them); and surely to our Lord we must return.” [Sūrah al-Zukhruf: 13-14]

The water we drink, the air we breathe, the ears we hear with, the eyes that allow us to see, the minds we reason with, the hearts by which we feel –

these are all enjoyments that Allah provides for us,

whether we realize it or not.

We should make ourselves aware of this fact, thank Allah, and avoid ingratitude. When we show thanks for Allah’s blessings, they grow stronger in our lives. When we are ungrateful, those blessings abandon us. Allah tells us: “…proclaim the favor of your Lord.” [Sūrah al-Duhā: 11].

and say

"ALHAMDULILLAH"

One of the best things Allah can provide us with is a contented heart. We are also blessed immensely if we have stability in our lives, harmony in our homes, and peace in our hearts.

Piece of Heart ...........

I no longer dream
My dreams lie in chaos,
a world gone mad,
and sleep is a dream
slipping through my hands.


Sunlight is breaking
through the dark,
and I am stirring.
But still I drift
He wrapped his arms around me,
holding me
to his chest,
and I could hear his heart.
But could he hear mine?


I've never known peace
until caught in his embrace,
and I knew that it wouldn't last
because nothing lasts forever.


And time would come
to steal me away,
wake me
without him,
and I didn't want to let go.


My world was quiet,
and I was safe.
But it was only a dream,
and now I yearn
where I cannot return.


All I can do is hope
that maybe,
he is out there,
