Last night I saw an interesting post from Dena on Instagram about a contest giveaway;
with 'inspire' as the theme. She posted an image of beautiful, amazing Al-Quran, specifically,
the Rainbow Quran Medina. Dear Lord, the moment I saw that Quran and it's details,
I was like fell in love for the first sight. It came with the meaning / translation,
wisdom quotes and inspiring stories, etc, oh it's just perfect!
Thus makes me eager to join and get it :)

As for inspiring person, Atok pop-up from my mind.
Yes, he's inspiring and forever will do.
Spending my little childhood time with him was a gratefully amazing for my whole life.
He's not only a grandfather, but also replaced the 'daddy' empty seat.
He's the man; my first love, daddy, idol, everything, for my whole life.
The way he acted, the way he dealt with things and lived his life,
everything, inspired me. He's so gentle, so calm, yet such a great,
successful person in life, and such a great servant to Allah and our deen as well.
He never sick of reminding me to be like one. He always said,
"Put Him and our deen on top of everything. Don't neglected it."
He taught me a lot - in my studies, knowledge, everything.
He just so calm and a man full of love. No matter how bad he had to face,
he'll always calm, smile, and always remembering Allah.

Even he's gone now, still, he'd always made me felt strong when I need strength.
I always feels the love, the support, and the guide, as when I'm thinking of him
and often feels him, deep inside.
His humbleness, knowledge, amazing personality, everything, - really
are special, yet inspired me and helping me throughout my life.
Love and miss you so much Atok.
Al-Fatihah.

 ::Tangan Si Pemandi Mayat Terlekat Di Kemaluan Si Mati::

Pada zaman Imam Malik, terdapat seorang wanita yang sangat buruk akhlaknya. 
Dia selalu tidur bersama lelaki dan tidak pernah menolak ajakan lelaki. 
Sehinggalah tiba pada hari kematiannya, ketika dia dimandikan oleh seorang wanita 
yang memang kerjanya memandikan mayat, tiba-tiba tangan si pemandi mayat itu 
terlekat pada kemaluan mayat wanita itu.

Semua penduduk dan ulama' gempar akan hal itu. 
Mana tidaknya, tangan si pemandi mayat terlekat sehingga 
semua orang di situ mati akal untuk melepaskan tangannya 
dari mayat wanita terbabit. Terdapat 2 cadangan 
untuk menyelesaikan masalah itu. 
Pertama, memotong tangan wanita pemandi mayat tersebut 
dan kedua tanam kedua-dua wanita itu sekali gus.

Akhirnya, mereka memutuskan untuk meminta pendapat daripada Imam Malik. 
Imam Malik bukan calang-calang orang yang memberi fatwa. 
Pernah ada satu ketika, Imam Malik mendapat 40 pertanyaan, 
tetapi yang dijawabnya hanyalah 5. Ini menunujukkan akan berhati-hatinya 
dan betapa sensitifnya beliau dalam isu agama. 
Imam Malik bertanya kepada wanita si pemandi mayat itu bahawa 
adakah dia berkata apa-apa kepada si mati semasa memandikannya.

Wanita pemandi mayat itu berkata bahawa dia ada mengatakan 
kepada si mati sewaktu membersihkan tubuhnya:

"Berapa kalilah tubuh ini telah melakukan zina"

Imam Malik berkata "kamu telah menjatuhkan Qazaf (tuduhan zina) 
pada wanita tersebut, sedangkan kamu tidak mendatangkan 4 orang saksi. 
Maka kamu harus dijatuhkan hukuman hudud 80 kali sebatan 
kerana tidak mendatangkan saksi."

Selepas wanita pemandi mayat itu dikenakan hukuman 80 sebatan 
maka terlepaslah tangannya dari mayat tersebut.

Oleh itu, kita hendaklah sentiasa menjaga lidah kita. Jangan sembarangan 
membuat fitnah atau bersangka buruk dengan orang lain. 
Kuasa Allah SWT mengatasi segala-galanya..
Moga bermanfaat dan sama2lah memperbaiki diri. InsyaAllah.

Wallahua'lam

Q&A about safety for women

1) What should a woman do if she finds herself alone in the company of a strange
male as she prepares to enter a lift in a high-rise apartment late at night?

Experts Say: Enter the lift. If you need to reach the 13th floor, press
all the buttons up to your destination. No one will dare attack you in a lift that stops on every floor.

2) What to do if a stranger tries to attack you when you are alone in your
house, run into the kitchen.

Experts Say: You alone know where the chili powder and turmeric are kept.
And where the knives and plates are. All these can be turned into deadly
weapons. If nothing else, start throwing plates and utensils all over.
Let them break. Scream. Remember that noise is the greatest enemy of a
molester. He does not want to be caught.

3} Taking an Auto or Taxi at Night.

Experts Say: Before getting into an auto at night, note down its registration
number. Then use the mobile to call your family or friend and pass on the
details to them in the language the driver understands .Even if no one
answers your call, pretend you are in a conversation. The driver now knows
someone has his details and he will be in serious trouble if anything goes
wrong. He is now bound to take you home safe and sound. A potential attacker
is now your protector!

4}What if the driver turns into a street he is not supposed to - and you
feel you are entering a danger zone?

Experts Say: Use the handle of your purse or your stole (dupatta) to wrap
around his neck and pull him back. Within seconds, he will feel choked
and helpless. In case you don’t have a purse or stole just pull him back
by his collar. The top button of his shirt would then do the same trick.

5} If you are stalked at night.

Expert Say: enter a shop or a house and explain your predicament.
If it is night and shops are not open, go inside an ATM box. ATM centers
always have security guards. They are also monitored by close circuit television.
Fearing identification, no one will dare attack you.

After all, being mentally alert is the greatest weapon you can ever have.

Please spread it to all those women u care & spread awareness as this is the least that 
we can do for a social & moral cause and for the safety of women.

Ashley's fall. Down, till she feels like collapsing to the floor.
She feels too hurt, like the world is crumbling, tearing her apart.
She's lost, drowning in her own mind, own world, own memories.
And it's just hurting her more.
For once more after a while, the tears fall, running heavily like a waterfall.

She just couldn't believe it. They have been together like 7 years. with the kids and all,
through thick and thin, oh dear Lord, only U know how broken her heart was now.
It had been broken over and over, but she's finally get a rainbow upon her sky,
then now, it collapse again.

Now, all of the events keep running on her mind.
First, it all started again with the people from their memories.
The people that hurt her, hurt them.
Then, here come the bitches, and the most unbelievable scene.

He knew that the bitch hurt them. Hurt her feelings and all.
But what he had done was far more screwed than those.
Ashley feels like she's a fool, betrayed, fucking frustrated, upset, everything.
Screaming out loud silently in her heart,
saying I Hate You people.

Yeah, the messages. The dream, the conversation, the trip, everything,
fall back down, hunting her in the dark.
Skeezers.
The one who'd laid on the back of her man,
The one who'd laid the ass on her man's lap,
Their fucking bitchy conversation, etc,
And his wrong moves, as well.
All, silently.
And the worst part is,
It happens, even they've married and have kids!
Because they have kids, yeah that's what hurting her deeply inside.
Not because of having the kids, but the fact that He's the father of Ashley's children,
yet still, like he's forget that fact.

When Ashley talked bout it, He's just mad, yelling and all,
like Ashley's the one who did it wrong.
But Ashley had used to it.
And for this time, her broken heart had became heartless.
Empty.
Ashley just care less and pull herself together,
just neglecting whatever.

Ashley almost loses her faith on this tests though, as she kept asking why,
but then after several hours, thinking, calming down, then she felt fine.
She kept thinking of her late daddy, and her beloved families.
They're all there, in her mind, smiling, and wiped her tears so that she could feeling better.
She knew that she's a sinner, and she knew that her god loves her,
and maybe this is a test for her to be stronger than ever.
Ashley look at her children, her baby, she kissed them, and she felt stronger.
She realized, she had been too weak as she'd been slipped away by 'nothing' for sometimes,
so this is her time to be stronger. To think. To improves.
Whatever it is, she'll face it and she knew she'll be fine :)

:')

** No matter what religions, how it is or whatever, just keep holding on our faith, even if it's only
to ourselves, and we will be alright. we will. And yes, when we've become a mom, we'll find that our baby / children will be the stronger source of our strength. That's the beauty of it. :)

8 PENYAKIT YANG BOLEH SEMBUH DENGAN BERJALAN KAKI.

If before ni saye ade post bout connection berjalan kaki dgn organ2 kite, now ade update bout berjalan ni jugak. Kajian menunjukkan ade 8 jenis penyakit yang boleh disembuhkan dengan berjalan. So, moge dgn update ni anda semua lg rajin berjalan and tak merungut bile parking jauh kan. hehe. Moge bermanfaat :) 

1. Serangan Jantung : Berjalan boleh mengurangkan risiko serangan jantung. Otot jantung memerlukan aliran darah lebih deras (dari pembuluh koroner ) agar segar dan berfungsi normal mengepam darah tanpa henti.

Berjalan dengan cepat boleh mengalirkan darah ke dalam jantung. Dengan sering berjalan , kolesterol baik (HDL) yang bekerja sebagai spans penyerap kolesterol (LDL) akan meningkat dengan berjalan kaki tergopoh-gopoh.

Tidak banyak cara di luar dapat mengubati seperti ini. Berjalan dengan cepat boleh menurunkan risiko serangan jantung.

2. Stroke :Satu kajian dilakukan kepada 70 ribu pesakit di Harvard School of Public Health yang bekerja sambil berjalan kaki sebanyak 20 jam dalam seminggu, hasilnya risiko diserang stroke menurun hingga dua pertiga.

3. Membakar Lemak :Rutin berjalan kaki akan meningkatkan metabolisme tubuh. Selain sejumlah kalori terbuang oleh aktiviti berjalan kaki, kelebihan kalori yang tersimpan di dalam tubuh akan ikut terbakar, kemudian kenaikan berat badan tidak terjadi.

4. Melangsingkan Badan : jika anda kelebihan berat badan, mulailah untuk rutin berjalan Pergerakan kaki hingga seluruh tubuh mampu menurunkan berat badan dan lemak yang ada terutama diperut anda akan terkikis. Lakukan berjalan kaki secara rutin selama satu jam.

5. Kanser : Gejala kanser akan lenyap dengan sendirinya jika kita rajin jalan kaki. Kanser yang dimaksudkan adalah jenis kanser usus besar (colorectal carcinoma).

Kita tahu, bergerak badan ikut melancarkan peristaltik usus, sehingga buang air besar lebih lancar. Kanser usus dicetuskan oleh najis tertahan lama dalam saluran pencernaan. Sementara dalam satu kajian lain, berjalan boleh menurunkan risiko terkena kanser payudara.

6. Mencegah Osteoporosis : Sering berjalan bukan hanya menyebabkan otot-otot badan menjadi sihat, rangka atau tulang di dalam tubuh anda juga akan menjadi sihat dan kuat.

Osteoporosis tidak cukup hanya dengan rutin mengambil vitamin D dan kalsium yang banyak, tubuh juga memerlukan gerak badan dan memerlukan waktu paling kurang 15 minit dibawah sinar matahari pagi dan anda akan terhindar dari osteoporosis.

7. Mencegah Kencing Manis : Dengan rutin berjalan kira-kira 6 km per jam, dalam tempuh sekitar 50 minit, mampu mencegah berkembangnya diabetes, khususnya pada mereka yang bertubuh gemuk (National Institute of Diabetes and Gigesive & Kidney Diseases).

Selagi gula darah boleh dikawal hanya dengan cara bergerak badan (brisk walking), ubat tidak diperlukan. Anda hanya memerlukan berjalan secara rutin untuk terus menjaga kesihatan badan dan terhindar dari diabetes.

8. Depresi :Berjalan kaki dengan cepat boleh menggantikan ubat anti depresan yang biasanya diminum secara rutin oleh pesakit depresi. Mulai sekarang, rajinlah berjalan kaki akan menyembuhkan pesakit yang tengah depresi.

Wallahualam.

Another inspiring movie - based on a true story. 
The moment i read it's synopsis, it tend to caught my soul to watch it.
Ok soul is too far maybe, but really, it's awesome and there's a lot of things 
that we could talk about from it.
The possible and the perspective, self-confident / believes, faith,
excelsior, everything. Just a lot of things.

This movie is about the story of a surfer girl named Bethany Hamilton.
She was born in a surfer's family, where everyone in her family does surfing.
After she won the 1st place for the Turtle Bay Juniors, she's then 
considered the favourite as they're headed to the Hawaiian Island Regionals,
a step further, altogether with Alana Blanchard, her best friend.

One fine day, they both, around with Alana's father and brother, went to a beach 
so that they could done some training for their regional.
As when they're relaxing on the water surface, suddenly 
there's a big shark showed up and bites Bethany's left hand.
Alana's screaming for help and they all helped Bethany while at the same time
quickly headed to the shore as fast as they can.
Bethany was shocked, and she didn't even cry or anything.

Bethany was fine - but to get used to live with one hand.
Still, she didn't cry or anything. All she did was just trying and trying.
At first yeah she felt the odd to do things and dealing with people
who stares, talks, etc, but she just stay strong and face it.
She's also had made up her mind that she wouldn't missed the regional.

On the Regional, she had tried her very best but unfortunately she couldn't beat it.
She was so frustrated, yet almost gave up. Still, there's National championship
ahead. But she's just felt really bad, so down, and it feels like she couldn't cover
how she was actually felt anymore, as she's crying while having some 
conversation with her friend, Sarah.

So, as for the next and the end of the movie, i think it's better that u watch it
yourself. Hehe. Chill there, u ain't regret watching this beautiful, inspiring movie.
Here's the link if u wanna watch it online : watch soul surfer online  
where at the end of the movie u could watched the real Bethany, her life moment, etc.

So, back to the point, u may find many, right. and here's my favourite parts : 
( yeap despite of amazed how strong and calm she was while dealing with her loss, etc)

1) She said, "What happened to 'i can do all things' ?"
                      "Why? Why did this happened?"
                      "Why did i have to lose everything?"
   Then her father said, "...that shark didn't killed u. U're still alive. With family that loves u."

~ of course, when it came to bad things, it's commonly acceptable for the questioning thingy.
It's normal. As we, only the human being, when we're too frustrated, being hardly tested, etc,
we tend to asked "why". Especially when we're tend to have not much faith. Neither 
it's believes in ourselves nor the faith in god. but, as me, as a Muslim, and for those
all Muslim readers, we've been thought by our deen that any tests are some way of
improving ourself, yet to life and upon Him. It's also seen as His love towards us, 
which He didn't ignored us or neglected us. He always had His own way of giving 
what we really need, and He knew greater than we do, ourselves. Excelsior and faith, 
remember what had i said bout it on my previous post? Well here's likely the same.

2) Her dad conversation with her mom on the day they'd brought she home from the hospital, 
     Dad : "..how do we do? how do we deal with this?"
     Mom: "..remember when the first time we take Bobby home from the Hospital?
                 He was our first baby, we didn't knew what to do, how to take care of a baby, etc,
                 but we just knew. It's the same this time. We just deal with it day by day, ok?"

~ I find it awesome and cute. The way they thought. And it's true. I am a mom and just having my first baby scene almost 12 months ago. Everyone will face it and knew it ( having your very
own first child, and day by day u just knew it how to deal with the situation, how to handle
and care for your baby, etc ). In Islam, it's called 'ilmu Laduni' where it's the knowledge
that we've got straight from god. For another example of this knowledge; the newborn were just knew how to drink their mommy's milk (breastfeeding), right away after they're born.

3) The perspective from Sarah, as she said:
      - "So, u see how hard it can be to make sense of things when u're looking at them 
          really close? The same thing is true in life. So if u guys are dealing with anything 
          that's just too hard to handle or doesn't make much sense, get a new perspective."

~ It's such a great way how Sarah bold it. I love the picture comparison way as at first,
she shows the close-up look of a half hazelnut, which looks like a brain.
Then, she showed the full image of the hazelnut in order to make us (& them) realized
bout the perspective thingy and to have greater understanding with it. Cool. :)
Another thing is, as she's refers to Timothy 29:11, we, for the Muslim,
we could refer to our Quran, 29:3 and 29:10-11. ( Surah Al-Ankabut )
Where it stated there that faith isn't enough with just saying it, when we're truly 
in faith ( imaan) we'll just let it be and be patient with all of the tests that come to us.
Again, as a Muslim, we should knew that all of those tests were just to strengthen us,
to shape us, to make us better than we did, to purifying our heart, and lots more
great thing that hidden beneath it. We should knew.

So, that's the beauty of it. This story however reminds me of an inspiring guy 
where he had almost the same condition. Remember Nick Vujicic?
Ok here's the link to refresh yours : click here to know Nick

Well, that's all for this entry. May u'll find something good in this post.
Thanks for your time reading this and have a nice day :)

** Here's some extras for u guys : click to know about the real Bethany and below is her shark attack's story video. Enjoy!

One fine day, there are a father with his lovely son live in a one warm home.
The son asks his daddy, :

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make RM100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow RM50?"
The father was furious.

DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. 
Think about why you are being so selfish. 
I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. 
How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that RM50 
and he really didn't ask for money very often. 
The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. 
It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. 
Here's the RM50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. 
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. 
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.

"Daddy, I have RM100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

The father was crushed. 
He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

:')

**It's just a short reminder to all of u that working so hard or so into something else in life. 
We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those who are close to our hearts. 
Do remember to share that RM100 worth of your time with someone you love. 
If we die tomorrow, the company or things that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. 
But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. 
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work or else than to our family.
But,
Some things are more important.
Check back and do balancing your time now!
