Ujian

Ada macam-macam ujian dalam hidup manusia

dari kecil hinggalah dewasa

Semasa bersekolah ada ujian yang wajib diduduki

Ada ujian kecil, ada ujian besar

belajar tinggi lagi, lagi besar ujiannya.

Masuk alam kerja

ada ujian juga. macam-macam ada

yang dengki, yang suka, yang mengada-ngada,

yang suka tunjuk hebat,

yang malas, yang rajin

yang ikhlas, yang menunjuk-nunjuk

untuk nak hidup.

ada kaki ampu, ada kaki bodek, ada kaki melawan

ada yang tak kisah ,walaupun langit nak runtuh.

ada yang suka tikam dari belakang, dari depan,

macam-macam ada.

Eh, ujian lah tu....

Laa..., apa pasal panjang sangat pasal alam lerja ni?

sebab alam ini lah yang panjang dalam hidup manusia.

(Kalau tak mati muda)

Jadi masa di alam kerja kita kena cari kawan dan lawan

demi untuk kebaikan

kawan untuk memberi kekuatan

lawan untuk membetulkan kesilapan

Ala.. bukan lama sangat pun di alam kerja

nanti pencen juga kita,

masa tu

kena pandai cari kawan

Oh!!! ujian besar tu,

Ujian lagi!.

Bukan senang nak cari kawan masa ni

kalau kita orang biasa-biasa tak apa

kalau yang ada-ada tu

silap langkah tak berkawan

ujian lagi!.

silap haribulan tak ada kawan jenguk

masa mati.

Akhirnya di alam kubur

yang semua dah tahu

ada ujian menanti

soalan pun dah siap bocor.

Begitulah ujian

yang memang ada banyak lagi

masing-masing diri alami sendiri.

Dan sebesar-besar ujian

ialah ujian iman dan taqwa.

Itulah segalanya.

Sebelum kita akhirnya

bersendirian menjawab soalan

tanpa bantuan kawan mahupun lawan.

Osteoporosis

Aha! Ada artikel menarik tentang ni ( Ditampal dari Blog sahabat di Dubai http://www.1426.blogspot/ )Yang dah selalu rasa sakit lutut ( yours truly??) sakit belakang , sengal tulang dan macam-macam lagi tu.... learn something here.

Osteoporosis
The silent killer

Osteoporosis is a big problem, but because the gradual loss of bone density is such a slow and symptomless process many women are caught unaware - and then it’s too late

Rania has always been an energetic woman.

She works part-time at her family business, plays tennis twice a week and spent about 15 years of her life running after two hyperactive children.

She eats well, doesn’t smoke and only drinks alcohol on special occasions.

Yet when Rania was only 52 years old, she fell in the mall, fractured her hip and was out of action for almost a year. Her doctor then informed her she had osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose minerals, such as calcium, more quickly than the body can replace them, leading to a loss of bone thickness.

As a result, bones become thinner and less dense, so that even a minor bump or accident can cause serious fractures.

Any bone can be affected by osteoporosis, but the most common sites are bones in the hip, spine, wrist, ribs, pelvis and upper arm.

Osteoporosis usually has no signs or symptoms until a fracture happens - and this is why it is often referred to as the ‘silent disease’

October 20, is World Osteoprosis Day, when doctors and osteoporosis suffers around the globe hope to build awareness to the disease.

According to Doctor Shah Alam Khan, a paediatric orthopedic surgeon at Dubai Bone and Joint Centre, there are two main types of osteoporosis.

“One is age-induced osteoporosis, which happens naturally in people when they reach the age of 70 or 75. It happens in both males and females equally,” he says.

“The other type of osteoporosis mostly affects females that are post-menopause. This is the one that concerns us the most, because it is prevalent in females that are post-menopause, but it’s preventable.

”Dubai-based Mary-Jo, who has suffered from brittle bones for almost ten years, urges women to make sure their bones are healthy, as she says it’s absolutely no fun having osteoporosis.

“I love walking, but I gradually started to find standing for long periods extremely painful, so I don’t do it so much anymore.

I am pretty much car-bound and miss not having the freedom to use my legs in the same way I once did,” says Mary-Jo.

Doctor Khan can’t stress enough how important it is, especially for women, to curb the process of osteoporosis by exercising and ensuring an adequate intake of calcium, protein and vitamin D to strengthen bones.

“In a recent study undertaken at our clinic we found that there were about 150 patients coming in with body pain. And most of them we found out had a vitamin D deficiency, which was leading to osteoporosis,” says Doctor Khan.

“Vitamin D deficiency is common in Middle Eastern society because of the traditional dress. Veils obviously stop the sunlight getting through to the skin and this lack of vitamin D can contribute towards osteoporosis later in life.

“Numerous studies have shown that veiled populations are more prone to osteoporosis then non-veiled ones,” adds Doctor Khan.

Calcium is also very important in helping to build and maintain good bone density. One would think that within an affluent society like Dubai, with its abundance of food choices, people would be getting a good intake of calcium, but Doctor Khan warns that calcium deficiency is high here, because of the core foods we eat.

“Calcium is in the food we eat, but it doesn’t always get absorbed properly,” explains Doctor Khan.

“For example say you eat some food with calcium and then you drink tea - the calcium doesn’t get absorbed because the tea has tannins in it that inhibit the absorption of calcium.

“Even a glass of soft drink, like Pepsi, with food inhibits calcium absorption, so it’s important to make a special effort to take calcium on an empty stomach.

A glass of milk is a great source of calcium, but it should be drunk on its own for maximum benefit,” he adds.

Begitulah jika Allah berkehendak, ditariknya nikmat yang ada satu persatu.....

Halaqah

Oh I love this programme. One of very few good progrmmes on tv. Yang lain-lain entah, banyak yang hampeh.

These past few weeks the topic discussed were good and very relevant. Yes, I sangat terkesan dengan cerita Panglima Islam Sallehuddin al Ayubi merawat Richard the Lion Heart yang cedera. Hebat manusia ni. Tidak ramai yang mampu mempunyai dan mengamalkan akhlak Islam walaupun mengaku dirinya Islam. ( termasuk juge yours truly, he,he,he....)

Banyak yang diperkatakan oleh penalist malam tadi. Oh Yes, it's good to see one of the very prominent speakers back on tv. I always admire this person kerana kehebatan oratory skill nya dan isi yang disampaikan. Amat malang apabila khalayak dinafikan hak mendapat ilmu yang bermanafaat hanya kerana perbezaan fahaman. Itu mentality orang yang tidak merdeka jiwa.

Kemerdekaan jiwa ini perlu kerana jika ianya masih terbelenggu oleh sifat-sifat buruk ia tidak mampu melihat sesuatu dengan rasional kerana nafsu pastinya akan menguasai jiwa yang tidak bebas itu.

Peringatan...

Allah sentiasa memberi peringatan di mana-mana dan pada bila-bila masa dalam apa saja yang berlaku. Jika kita mampu melihat setiap apa yang berlaku itu sebagai satu peringatan dan jalan bagi meningkatkan iman kita , amatlah baiknya.

Kelas Jumaat lalu, Pak Ustaz memberi tafsir ayat 107 hingga 110 Surah al-Baqarah. Oh, sungguh bagus sekali . Allah menguasai 7 petala langit dan 7 petala bumi, kita ni apa sangatlah dengan sedikit kuasa yang diberi. Kita yang paling berkuasa pun mungkin menjadi pemimpin sebuah negara. Kata pak Ustaz, ada banyak negara lain di dunia ini dan mungkin lebih besar dan hebat dari kita. Apa lah sangat, ia hanyalah sebesar zarah di sisi Allah.

Setiap individu juga berkuasa terhadap kerajaannya sendiri. Hati kita menjadi raja kepada tubuh kita. Sekalian anggota badan, kaki, tangan, mata dan lain-lain adalah rakyat. Otak pula adalah menteri. Jika hati itu baik dalam menguruskan kerajaannya maka akan baiklah kerajaan itu. Jika hati itu sakit , maka sekaliannya akan ikut sakit. Amatlah menyedihkan jika hati yang sakit ini berterusan sakit tanpa langsung usaha untuk mengubatinya. Justru, terjadilah hari ini ramai insan yang membiarkan nafsu menjadi raja kerana hati nya sakit dan gagal menguasai diri. Mereka gagal melihat kekuasaan Allah mengatasi segala.

Hati yang sihat perlukan makanan rohani agar ia mampu menerajui sekecil-kecil kerajaan ini. Apabila hati sihat ia akan mampu melihat kebesaran Allah serta segala hikmat dalam setiap kejadian. Hikmat dan Rahmah Allah itu ada di mana-mana.

Teka-teki Imam al-Ghazali

Siapakah yang tidak terkesan dengan peringatan ini?

Ramai yang dah dengar tazkirah ini Jumaat lalu kan.

( Mungkinkah ada yang tak faham ? )

Soal-jawab dan teka-teki serta tazkirah Imam al-Ghazali dengan anak-anak muridnya :

Apakah yang yang paling jauh di dunia ini ?

Al-jawab : Masa lalu, yang dah lepas. semalam, dulu.....

Apakah yang paling besar di dunia ini?

Al-jawab : Nafsu ; ia sangat besar dan sentiasa tidak dapat dipenuhi...

terutama apabila telah menguasai diri, sentiasaa tidak puas

Apakah yang paling berat di dunia ini?

Al-jawab : Amanah

Apakah yang paling dekat di dunia ini?

Al-jawab : Mati .... kita tidak tahu, bila , bagaimana...

Oh...ada lagi soalannya..

Apakah yang paling ringan di dunia ini?

Al-jawab : Meninggalkan solat

Apakah yang paling tajam di dunia ini?

Al-jawab : Lidah manusia.

Marilah sama-sama kita fikirkan

Terima kasih di atas peringatan ini.

Alhamdulillah , it's Ain Sham, Cairo

Alhamdulillah, finally we got to know the university. Ain Sham University,Abbassia, Cairo. Lega. Eventhough the cost of living might be higher than the earlier chosen one, the facilities are a lot better. Malaysian House is nearby, Embassy is much nearer and Rumah Negeri pun kata Us S dekat je. Cuma nya mungkin lebih sebuk dan sesak berbanding yang lain.

We got a call from Us. Bakar telling us the same happy news. Alhamdulilah.

Mmmm, we are yet to see A's collections of photos. Just hantar thru Maryam (bakal Doc) anak Us. Bakar the t/drive and other aksesori last Friday. Being a mother of cos u feel anxious to see and know e'thing.

I like Egypt personally and love to visit the place one day, insyaallah. Banyak yang boleh diambil iktibar dari sejarah purba Mesir ni. Melihat lambang keangkuhan manusia bernama Firaun yang mengaku dirinya tuhan tetapi akhirnya tewas ditangan anak angkatnya sendiri dan lemas bersama pengikutnya di Laut Merah.

Oh.... ada banyak lagi seperti makam Rabiatul Adawiyah lambang wanita sejati

dan banyak lagi yang lain.

Tak lupa juga Alexandria , "the most beautiful place on earth ", kata Winston Churchill.

What Your Car Says About You

Zack O'Malley Greenburg, Forbes


Porsches smack of success. Hondas preach practicality. And, according to a recent report, Chevys proudly proclaim of their owners, "I don't use the Internet."

Your car implies more about your life than you might think. While 13% of Chevy owners don't use the Web, by contrast, less than 3% of Honda owners remain in the technological Stone Age. The antithesis of flashy, Honda owners are usually pragmatic and well educated; 70% boast a college degree or higher, compared with 35% of Chevy owners and 45% of Ford owners.

The data was released in the spring as part of this year's New Vehicle Experience Study by San Diego-based market research outfit Strategic Vision.

"Honda buyers buy primarily for the trust and dependability they find in our vehicles," says Honda spokesman Chris Naughton. "Typically, highly functional vehicles deliver less image because customers didn't purchase for image."

Dan ada panjang lagi analisisnya......

Menarik juga analisis ni, Yang drive local cars like yours truly ni camana pulak? Yang pakai bintang and yang 3 huruf tu sure ada class tersendiri kan, kan... Tu yang rasa macam naik kapal terbang tu pun kan ,ada class tersendiri juga.

Yours truly pun dalam kelas tersendiri juga lah....

Jangan marah ye kenkawan...

Antara hikmah membaca al Quran

Diambil dari blog sahabat pengikut Prof Nadiah : Mungkin dah pernah baca tapi tak pa refresh kan semula...


Why do we read Quran, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word?
This is a beautiful story, please read till the end and forward to all you know...

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Every morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Qur'an. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked,"Grandpa! I try to read the Qur'an just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.
The grandfather laughed and said,"You'll have to move a little faster next time,"
He sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said,"I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough," He went out to watch the boy trying again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house.

The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.

Out of breath, he said,"See Grandpa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" The old man said,"Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

"Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and outside. That is the work of Allah in our lives."

Moral of the story : Read Al-Quran frequently as it will purify our heart. When we have pure heart, it is easy to do righteous and leave jahiliyah and badness in ourselves.

Kelas

Minggu ni minggu kedua kelas kami selepas cuti puasa dan raya yang lalu. Masing-masing berkobar-kobar. Al-maklum dah lama sangat cuti dan memang terasa kosong bila tiada pengisian. Maka berlumba-lumbalah kami cuba menjawab soalan dan mengenal-pasti hukum nahu dan makna serta aplikasi.

He,he,he.... sepatutnya giliran yours truly untuk membaca, tetapi ustaz kata kita mula dari orang yang pertama balik. Alhamdulillah, Allah itu Maha Penyayang , memang yours truly tidak bersedia langsung.Apapun, kesian ustaz (yang telah mendoakan kami semua semasa umrahnya di bulan Ramadhan lalu supaya terang hati) terpaksa bertungkus lumus mengingatkan kami kepada pelajaran yang lalu..... he,he,he....macam itulah kalau orang tua belajor.

Antara yang menarik cerita ustaz mengenai nikmat al quran . Allah boleh beri dan boleh ambil bila-bila masa sahaja seperti seorang sahabat beliau yang amat pakar dalam ilmu al quran , menjadi rujukan, tetapi telah ditarik nikmatnya oleh Allah dengan sebab kepalanya terhantuk sahaja. Habis hilang sehingga lupa dan tidak ingat apapun tentang al quran. Begitulah kehendak Allah itu. Nikmat ini tidak terbatas hanya kepada al quran sahaja tetapi apa-apa sahaja nikmat yang telah Allah kuniakan. Kita hanya makhluk Allah yang kerdil.

Tadi kami belajar hukum membezakan Fa'il dan bagaimana membezakan 'oleh' dengan 'akan' dalam ayat. Alhamdulilah, jelas dan seronok hari ni walaupun tiada tafsir.

Semoga kelas-kelas seterusnya akan juga menjadi sejelas tadi. Insyaallah. Berkat doa ustaz kot.

Selamat Menjalani PMR 2009

Untuk anak-anak yang akan menduduki PMR

hari ini

di doakan semoga berjaya dengan Cemerlang.

Selamat menjawab dengan baik.

Panjatkan doa kepada Pencipta agar diberi

petunjuk dan kemudahan dalam mengharungi ujian ini.

Semoga semuanya akan mendapat keputusan yang

membanggakan. Insyaallah.

Masyaallah, Allahuakbar! Peringatan bagi kita

Amatlah mengerikan dan menakutkan apabila membaca berita ini. Teringat seperti sirah dalam al quran apabila manusia engkar , mereka akan ditelan bumi dan ianya tetap berlaku di zaman moden ini. Memang tidak di duga dan tidak di sangka. Subhanallah, Allahuakbar. : Peringatan bagi kita semua.

Merenung bekas kampung yang lenyap ditelan bumi, tanpa sisa. ....... Murka Allah !

400 orang hilang ditelan bumi ketika gempa bumi di Padang

Jakarta ; Kira-kira 400 orang yang sedang menghadiri satu majlis pernikahan dikhuatiri hilang ditelan bumi di Dusun Pulau Aik, Padang Pariaman ketika gempa bumi berkekuatan 7.6 skala Richter melanda Sumatera Barat pada 5.16 petang 30 Sept.

Kebimbangan itu berdasarkan keadaan kampung itu yang kini rata ditutupi tanah dan menara masjid, yang merupakan struktur tertinggi di situ, bahkan juga sudah tidak kelihatan.

"Mereka ditelan bumi sedalam 30 meter akibat gempa dan longsor (tanah runtuh)," kata Ketua Pusat Penanganan Krisis Kementerian Kesihatan Indonesia, Rustam S. Pakaya yang dipetik detikcom, hari ini.

Sambil menyebut bahawa pasukan mencari dan menyelamat tidak mungkin menggali sedalam 30 meter untuk mengeluarkan mangsa, beliau berkata dengan tenggelamnya kampung itu, proses mencari dan menyelamat sangat sukar untuk dijalankan walaupun pasukan pencari masih berusaha.

Tragedi di kampung itu merupakan satu daripada beberapa kejadian serupa apabila mangsa tertimbus dan terhimpit di celah runtuhan bangunan, yang kini mendapat perhatian setelah komunikasi dan jalan raya mulai dapat berfungsi semula.
Di Kota Padang sendiri, televisyen tempatan menyiarkan visual pelbagai usaha mencari dan menyelamat yang giat dijalankan pihak berkuasa termasuk tentera di beberapa buah hotel dan bangunan lain seperti pusat tuisyen, pada ketika bau mayat dikatakan sudah mulai menyengat.

Sekitar 100 mangsa dipercayai terhimpit di celah runtuhan lantai, bumbung dan dinding hotel Ambacang, 50 murid masih tertimbus tanah runtuh yang menenggelamkan sekolah mereka di Desa Tandidek, Pariaman dan 200 orang lagi masih hilang, juga dipercayai tertimbus runtuhan dua buah bukit di Petamuan, Padang Pariaman.

Setelah masuk hari keempat yang dianggap sangat genting bagi pasukan mencari dan menyelamat untuk menemui dan mengeluarkan mangsa yang masih hidup, para pegawai pihak berkuasa berkata keluarga mangsa terutama yang tertimbus harus ikhlas merelakan kepergian keluarga mereka. BERNAMA

Speaking Test is coming

They had a MUET Speaking meeting recently in a new hotel somewhere in Ipoh. Mmmm... a friend rang up to ask why yours truly tak ada. The last season pun tak ada and for this coming October season pun tak ada, ngape ye? Someone is definitely missing me, he,he,he.

Well. it seems that once you decline the tugas ( for good reason of course ) you will be out for seterusnya. That's their line of thoughts. apa nak buat. I pun honestly not keen sebab after so many years doing it, memanglah membosankan.Nampaknya it's the second season that Nora is not around to handle the meeting. However, I tak terasalah sangat her absence (dalam meeting ) 'cos I pun absent. Others I think would feel such. Well, Nora, if you are reading this, I must tell you, we are missing you. I personally miss your visits and company as well as makan-makan laksa outing. Just wonder , how's life there.... lost ur email laaa.

The girls and the boys macam tak ready je... I gave them writing test today ( very difficult one) hmmm... berasap really kepala mereka and one class kata , 'dah lupa le macamana nak jawab " ... la ... apake henye?

Come next week, speaking, speaking, speaking..... all the best people.......
