Allah berfirman, yang artinya :
"Dan apabila hamba-hamba-Ku bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah), bahwasanya Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang mendo'a apabila ia berdo'a kepada-Ku, maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi (segala perintah) –Ku dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepada-Ku, agar mereka selalu berada dalam kebenaran". (QS> Al Baqarah 186)

Menghadapi bulan yang penuh barakah Allah Ta'ala, hendaklah kita memanfaatkannya untuk memperbanyak amalan-amalan ibadah, yang mana jika seseorang yang tidak mengisi waktu-waktunya terutama disaat Ramadhan niscaya dia akan menyesal, Sedangkan penyesalan itu tidak akan berguna. Di antara bentuk ibadah yang besar adalah zikir dan berdo'a, disini saya ambil zikir dan do'a bulan Ramadhan karya Syeikh Bakr bin Abu Zaid hafizhahullah seorang ulama anggota Darul Ifta' Saudi. Semoga bermanfaat untuk kita semua.

1. Do'a apabila datang bulan Ramadhan, dengan mengucapkan :

الْلَّهُمَّ سَلَّمْنِي رَمَضَانَ وَسلَّمْ رَمَضَانَ لِي وَتَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّي

Ya Allah hantarkanlah diriku kepada bulan Ramadhan dan hantarkanlah bulan Ramadhan kepada diriku dan terimalah (amalan-amalan) Ramadhan dariku.

2. Kabar gembira dengan masuknya bulan Ramadhan, sebagaimana disebutkan dalam hadits Abu Hurairah RA.:

كَانَ رَسُوْاللَّه يُبَشَّرُ أَصْحَابَهُ بِقُدُوْمِ رمَضاَنَ يَقُوْلَ:
قَدْ جَاعَكُمْ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ شَهرٌمُبَارَكٌ

Rasulullah SAW biasa memberikan kabar gembira kepada para sahabatnya dengan datangnya bulan Ramadhan, Beliau bersabda: "Telah datang kepada kalian bulan Ramadhan, bulan yang penuh berkah…" (HR. Ahmad dan An-Nasa'i).

3. Do'a dari orang berpuasa secara mutlak di bulan Ramadhan, karena kemuliaan waktu dan keadaan orang-orang yang berpuasa, lebih lagi dengan memperbanyak zikir. Yang paling utama adalah membaca Al-qur'an.

4. Menyengaja berdo'a dengan penuh semangat pada malam-malam sepuluh yang terakhir dengan harapan bertepatan dengan malam Lailatul Qadar, sebagaimana telah dishahih dari Nabi SAW bahwa Beliau mengajarkan do'a kepada Aisyah RA :

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَفَاعْفُ عنَّي

Ya Allah, Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pemaaf dan menyukai maaf, maka maafkanlah aku".

Tidak shahih dalam hadits ini. "عَفُوٌ Setelah lafazh " " كَرِيْمٌ " kata Adapun tambahan

5. Do'a ketika berbuka:

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوْقُ وَشَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَاللََّهُ

Telah sirna rasa haus, telah basah tenggorokan dan telah pasti pahala,jika Allah kehendaki.

Tentang do'a berbuka puasa ini telah diriwayatkan ada lima (5) macam yang tidak shahih, di antaranya dengan lafazh :

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ وَعَلَىرزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ

Ya Allah, untukMu aku berpuasa dan dengan rizkiMu aku berbuka (Sanad hadits ini dhaif).

Begitu pula dengan lafazh lainya merupakan Sanad hadits yang dhaif (tidak shahih).
Ada riwayat dari Ibnu Umar RA secara marfu':

كَانَ النَّبِي إِذَا لَقَمَ أَوَّلَ لُقْمَةِ قَالَ: يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ اغَفِرْ لِي.

Adalah Nabi SAW apabila menelan makanan untuk kali pertama beliau membaca : "wahai Dzat yang Maha luas mahfirahnya, ampunilah aku".

Kemudian hadits ini mutlaq (umum), tidak ada pengkhususan untuk puasa dan tidak pula untuk yang lain.

6. Do'a ketika berbuka puasa pada suatu kaum, dengan do'a yang artinya :
"Telah berbuka orang-orang yang puasa disisi kalian, telah memakan makanan kalian orang-orang yang baik dan para malaikat bershalawat atas kalian".

7. Do'a Tatkala sahur
Tetapi tidak ada do'a khusus untuk hal ini, namun karena keumuman firman Allah:

وَبِاْلأَسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

Dan ketika sahur mereka beristighfar. (QS. Adz-Dzaariyaat 18).

8. Do'a ketika keluar dari bulan Ramadhan.
Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh alur ayat yang telah disebutkan.

9. Apabila seseorang mencaci atau mencelakai orang yang sedang berpuasa, maka hendaklah ia mengatakan: "Aku sedang berpuasa" sebagaimana yang disebutkan didalam shahihain (shahih Bukhari dan shahih Muslim) dan yang lain. Sama saja baik puasa sunnah atau puasa wajib. Apakah ini di ucapkan dengan suara keras atau pelan? Dalam hal ini terdapat ikhtilaf (perbedaan pendapat) dan yang shahih adalah di ucapkan dengan suara terang-terangan, inilah yang dipilih oleh Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah Raakhiimullah.

I was just surfing the net when i came across this song... Sang by the Korean group, Dong Ban Shin Gi (DBSK) aka Tong Vfang Xien Qi (TVXQ) aka Tohoshinki (note: 1st-korean name, 2nd- chinese name, 3rd-japanese name.. why they need 3 different names for the 3 different countries is beyond me.. hehe)

Bokura wa futari de otonani natte kita (The two of us grew up together)
Demo kimi ga eranda no wa chigau michi (But you've already chosen a different path)

Doushite… (Why..)
..kimi wo suki ni natte shimattan darou? (..did i end up falling for you?)
Donna ni toki ga nagarete mo kimi wa zutto (No matter how much time has passed)
Koko ni iru to omotteta noni (I still thought you were right here)
Mou kanawanai (Now we can't turn back)

Tokubetsuna imi wo motsu kyou wo (The special meaning held by this day)
Shiawase kao de tatsu kyou wo (Today you stood with a happy expression)
Kireina sugata dekami sama ni chikatteru, kimi wo (You looked so beautiful while praying to god)
Boku janai hito no tonari de (But I wasn't the one next to you)
Shukufuku sareteru sugata wo (And the image of you receiving blessings)
Boku wa douyatte miokureba ii no darou? (Of that how could i let go?)

Mou Doushite… (So, Why..)
..kimi wo suki ni natte shimattan darou? (..did i end up falling for you?)
Ano koro no bokura no koto (How we were before)
Mou modorenai (We can't return to it anymore)

Anyone wants to try this is welcomed to it..

Saw the news on the net.. Lee Eon, a.k.a Korean drama Coffee Prince's Hwang Min Yeop, died on Thursday (22 Aug) due to a motorcycle accident.. omg.. apparently he was on his way home after a party when the accident occured. And the saddest part was, he's only 27 yrs old.. Guess we never really know when our time will come huh..

i so loved Coffee Prince.. It's basically a love story between Han Kyul, the rich, carefree heir & hardworking, down-on-her-luck, boyish looking Eun Chan.. They started falling for each other while working at Han Kyul's coffee shop, which his grandmother forced him to managed. However, chaos arises as Han Kyul who didn't know that Eun Chan's a girl, tries to deny his feeling for her..

Btw, Min Yeop is one of the "prince" who works in the same coffee shop, as well as Eun Chan's sister's boyfriend.. fuh, what a mouthful.. ;p

i think "James Lucas Scott" aka "Jamie" is the cutest kid ever.. hehe.. well, probably not, my nephews are wayy cuter/more handsome & much funnier.. hehe.. anyway, i l-o-v-e both of you, nephews.. muah!!

What happened to us? You know? I don't know who I am anymore. Or how I got here. I miss who I used to be. I wanna have a home again, you know? And real friends. You know, the kind of friendships we used to believe in. I miss that. And I miss you. I guess I miss all of it. Does any of that make any sense?

- Peyton Sawyer, One Tree Hill

Sometimes when you're young you think nothing can hurt you. It's like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans. Big plans. Find your perfect match, the one that completes you. But as you get older you realize it's not always that easy. It's not until the end of your life that you realize that the plans you made were simply plans. Because at the end when you're looking back instead of forward, you want to believe that you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe that you are leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered.

- Lucas Scott, One Tree Hill

Surah Al-Kautsar

Surah ini paling pendek, hanya mengandungi 3 ayat & diturunkan di Makkah dan bermaksud sungai di syurga. Kolam sungai ini diperbuat daripada batu permata nan indah dan cantik.

Rasanya lebih manis daripada madu, warnanya pula lebih putih daripada susu dan lebih wangi daripada kasturi.

Surah ini disifatkan sebagai surah penghibur hati Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. kerana diturunkan ketika baginda bersedih atas kematian 2 orang yang dikasihi iaitu anak lelakinya Ibrahim dan bapa saudaranya Abu Talib.

Pelbagai khasiat terkandung di dalam surah ini dan boleh kita amalkan:-

1 ) Baca surah ini ketika hujan dan berdoa, mudah-mudahan Allah s.w.t. makbulkan doa kita.

2) Jika kita kehausan dan tiada air, bacalah surah ini dan gosok di leher, Insya'allah hilang dahaga.

3) Jika sering sakit mata, seperti berair, gatal, bengkak, sapukan air mawar yang sudah dibacakan surah ini sebanyak 10x pada mata.

4) Jika rumah dipercayai terkena sihir, baca surah ini 10x, mudah-mudahan Allah s.w.t. bagi ilham pada kita dimana letaknya sihir itu.

5) Jika membacanya 1,000x rezeki kita akan bertambah.

6) Jika rajin membacanya, hati kita akan menjadi lembut dan khusyuk ketika menunaikan solat.

7) Jika orang teraniaya dan terpenjara membacanya sebanyak 71x, Allah s.w.t . akan memberikan bantuan kepadanya kerana dia tidak bersalah tetapi dizalimi.

Perkara yg baik kita amalkan slalu.

Wassallam.

How do you feel if you came face-to-face with people from your past? People, who at one time, was a big part of your life .. or heck, just came across their pictures, of their happy lives, with someone else.. ? I mean, chances are, since they were your 'friend', they're also friends of your friends..meaning that chances of that happening are pretty good.. we somehow dont run thaaat far off from those few circles of friends that we have.. so yeah, you kinda never managed to get rid of them from your life...

These incidents are not made intentionally.. to specifically taunt you for some twisted reasons.. most of the time anyway, ha ha..

But when that happens, do you walk away ?
Do you take a walk down memory lane & think about the what-ifs ?
Do you resent them for being happy with other people instead of you?
or it just makes no difference to you maybe?

But, then, who am i kidding..? They may had meant something in my life at one time & that will never go away. That's just not life that i see for myself, as hard as it was to let go.. it was just not meant to be..

But man, if only la my life even makes sense right now, at least it wouldnt be so hard to not be jealous of other people's life.. ha..

I would so recommend seeing the new movie, Wall-e.. the story is so adorable & cute however, carries a very serious message. Salute to Pixar for being able to convey such a heavy message in a creative & lighthearted way.

I managed to catch the Sunrise action with Mdm KS. Really loved the last act - the violinist & the sax.. man, it was good..! those guys are really talented..
