A few hadiths for our guidance

To Lead or Be Led

Don't walk behind me, 'cause I may not lead.
>>Why not??
Don't walk in front of me, 'cause I may not follow.
>>Can't follow suit??
But walk beside me, 'cause we are friends.
>>For how long??

The Call of Prayer..

ADAB MENDENGAR AZAN

Death is imminent. Only the exact time is unknown. Let us scrutinise why the people who are experiencing the near death unable to say anything. The tongue is tied, speechless; only the facial expression shows some 'struggling' with 'sakaratul maut'. The sermon which I happened to listen to last friday told that 'sakaratul maut' has ways to either subtly or aggressively take the soul out of a body. The most delicate way still felt like your skin is being peeled off without any anesthetics given. Go figure!!

Diriwayatkan sebuah hadis yg bermaksud: 'Hendaklah
Kamu mendiamkan diri ketika azan, jika tidak Allah
Akan kelukan lidahnya ketika maut menghampirinya. '

This proves that we are recommended to keep quiet during the call of prayer (azan). As Muslims, we are obliged to pay our respect. If during 'Negaraku' we stand straight, stay put n be quiet, why can't we do the same for 'azan'?

Those who hear 'azan', by right they should go and congregate and for those who can't, at least show some respect. Therefore, those who do not respect the call of prayer, Allah will 'lock' the tongue when they are experiencing near death. As a result, they can't pronounce the syahada' (kalimah 'Lailahaillallah. . ')

Sesiapa yang dapat mengucapkan kalimah ini ketika
Nyawanya akan dicabut Allah dgn izinNya menjanjikan
Syurga untuk mereka. Dari itu marilah kita sama-sama
menghormati azan dan mohon kepada Allah supaya lidah
ini tidak kelu semasa nyawa kita sedang dicabut.

' Ya Allah! Anugerahkanlah kematian kami dengan kematian
yang baik lagi mulia, lancarkan lidah kami mengucap kalimah ' Lailahaillallah. . '
semasa sakaratul maut menghampiri kami.. Amin... amin.. amin Yarobbala ' lamin.. . '

Izit true??

Some people like to be frank, some like cliches; some like it hot, some like it shaken n not stirred. So, based on some spur-of-the-moment unfounded observation, this is what I came to notice when dealing with the opposite sex....

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end
an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed,
this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just
been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the
storm. This means something and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin
with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission.
Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but
is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she
thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here
and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of
nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most
dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to
think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not
question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here -
This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is
not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'; that will bring on a
'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying
s***w YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another
dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do
several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man
asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.



* Send this to the men you know to warn them about arguments they can
avoid if they remember the terminology.

So, what say you???
