A song, a story, and the truth behind

Hear this 90s hit - The Way, by FastBall on the radio today, and saw an article about this being a one hit wonder, leads to this story behind the actual song, and how it lead to this song to  be composed...

If you recalled the lyrics, it was about a couple have left without noticed, and found a place that they can be in for a long time...

But the song was composed based on a true story, about a missing couple, and how their story ended tragically, but it was immortalized in this song, by the composer, in another happier manner.

Happy new Islamic new year!

Its the new year for Muslims around the universe =D
So I'll share something with you guys and gals

Happy new year,I'm still having trouble remembering the term of Islamic new year,but it represents our prophet's migration to Mecca (correction: from mecca to madinah), where Islam is home,where the haji pilgrimage is held,and the location of the kabah,the square thingy that people walks around it?

That's the holy land,where it's started in the Quran,if you're a Muslim and able,you've gotta visit this place,where it all started.

Also,when we pray,we Muslims,face the directions of the kabah,that's why,in certain places,like in hotels,you'll see one green arrow pointing to somewhere =)

So,its the new year,in Malaysia,native Malays are Muslims,most rulers are Muslims if not all,I just that those who has done wrong,stand up and face the judgement on this world, if you're able to commit to something,why won't you admit to it? Well,for me,if one is innocent or guilty,only Allah knows,and Allah knows and sees all the actions where we human do not.

Also,Allah grants rezeki (Google says its fortune in English),so those rezeki are granted for each and every being on this world, mainly I would like to say,the fact that we are still alive,or living a long live,its not the sake of living, a rezeki,also a chance for us to repent, and to undo what we've done, if its can't be undo,then we must try our best to do more good deeds to the people around us, forgiveness is a great gift to start,and do not take what's not yours...

Hope this message teaches you something as this is what I felt,and I feel that sharing this is a nice way to start a new Islamic year =)

Selamat awal muharam =)

P.s. go read the qurans translation,it's available on the internet,and its like the shortest book with consist information from Allah, my best friend and wife told me,start from the back,and its not a bad idea, start there and work your way to the front...you'll gain a lot of things,if you just think about it...

Apa yang boleh diambil atau makan oleh Muslim

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 188: وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتُدْلُوا بِهَا إِلَى الْحُكَّامِ لِتَأْكُلُوا فَرِيقًا مِّنْ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ بِالْإِثْمِ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ Dan janganlah kamu makan (atau mengambil) harta (orang-orang lain) di antara kamu dengan jalan yang salah, dan jangan pula kamu menghulurkan harta kamu (memberi rasuah) kepada hakim-hakim kerana hendak memakan (atau mengambil) sebahagian dari harta manusia dengan (berbuat) dosa, padahal kamu mengetahui (salahnya).

Being good to your parents in Islam

Today’s sermon in Islam is about being good to your parents.

Muslims have this thing called the rewards/deeds, (pahala in Malay), to keep it short, you have to be nice to them as how it was quoted in the Quran, the best book to follow in my opinion. (In history, it’s the latest version after the bible too, like the latest version of firmware for humans to follow =)

In Islam, people have to collect Pahala, so that when we die, those pahala collected, will be used judged if we’ve done enough good deeds in life.

Children, are a gift, if you choose to have them, you have to take care of them, teach them well, why? Because when we die, we won’t have any Pahala anymore, but every good deeds they do, will be passed on to the parents as well.

So one have to be sabar when having a child, to have a pahala bank that is generated even after our death, we have to teach our children well, so we have to be patient with one another.

Take care of your parents if there are still here, take care of your husband and wife, be patient, so that one day, you can become a good parent to your child =)

So @william and @christina, please forgive me for anything that I’ve done wrong in the past and I love you both, even I don’t say it out =D

@Sufiza: tolong translatekan this to malay for me so that we can share it to more people =)

Dgn apa yg berlaku di malaysia...hanyalah boleh harap pada Quran..

Surah An-Nisa, Verse 32:
وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبُوا وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبْنَ وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِن فَضْلِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا

Dan janganlah kamu terlalu mengharapkan (ingin mendapat) limpah kurnia yang Allah telah berikan kepada sebahagian dari kamu (untuk menjadikan mereka) melebihi sebahagian yang lain (tentang harta benda, ilmu pengetahuan atau pangkat kebesaran). (Kerana telah tetap) orang-orang lelaki ada bahagian dari apa yang mereka usahakan, dan orang-orang perempuan pula ada bahagian dari apa yang mereka usahakan; (maka berusahalah kamu) dan pohonkanlah kepada Allah akan limpah kurnianya. Sesungguhnya Allah sentiasa Mengetahui akan tiap-tiap sesuatu.

Something about Jesus,the son of mary

http://quran.com/05
Read this,the book that hasn't been changed for many years
Try it from verse 50 onwards if it's too much

Halal food quoted and explained...

Why in Islam, can't do this and that, so many questions, but most of them can be answered in similar ways like below:

Why cannot eat pork? Now that food treatment are so advanced...no more problem right?

In the simplest answer,it's in the Quran,its haram...

An example,if you follow the speed limit in Malaysia,say going ar maximum of 110kph,you'll reached you destination,but if you go faster than that,its against the law.

Doing things beyond the law is awesome! You'll get there faster,and the joy of reaching there will be nice as well..law are there for a reason

So it's up to you to follow it,in this world,there's the executor of laws,in Islam,you'll meet your judgement when your life ends...so, if you don't get caught today,you might one day...

So that applies to all the haram things we have ya...

Surat Al-Mā'idah (The Table Spread) - سورة المائدة

5:3

Sahih International

Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Malay

Diharamkan kepada kamu (memakan) bangkai (binatang yang tidak disembelih), dan darah (yang keluar mengalir), dan daging babi (termasuk semuanya), dan binatang-binatang yang disembelih kerana yang lain dari Allah, dan yang mati tercekik, dan yang mati dipukul, dan yang mati jatuh dari tempat yang tinggi, dan yang mati ditanduk, dan yang mati dimakan binatang buas, kecuali yang sempat kamu sembelih (sebelum habis nyawanya), dan yang disembelih atas nama berhala; dan (diharamkan juga) kamu merenung nasib dengan undi batang-batang anak panah. Yang demikian itu adalah perbuatan fasik. Pada hari ini, orang-orang kafir telah putus asa (daripada memesongkan kamu) dari ugama kamu (setelah mereka melihat perkembangan Islam dan umatnya). Sebab itu janganlah kamu takut dan gentar kepada mereka, sebaliknya hendaklah kamu takut dan gentar kepadaKu. Pada hari ini, Aku telah sempurnakan bagi kamu ugama kamu, dan Aku telah cukupkan nikmatKu kepada kamu, dan Aku telah redakan Islam itu menjadi ugama untuk kamu. Maka sesiapa yang terpaksa kerana kelaparan (memakan benda-benda yang diharamkan) sedang ia tidak cenderung hendak melakukan dosa (maka bolehlah ia memakannya), kerana sesungguhnya Allah maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani.
