WIR CAMPAIGN





and I quote from kak sueannajoe


"Menutup aurat secara sempurna. It's not easy. It's a process. But for the love of Islam and Allah, let us improve ourselves both spiritually and physically. For those who are wearing the hijab, let's do it right!

Apa kata kita mulakan dengan melabuhkan hijab, shawl, pashmina, scarf, tudung kita biar menutup dada. Hopefully I can commit to this. Sebab aku pon selalu je selempang tudung. It's not nicelah. Dada tu sebenarnya lebih menggiurkan dari rambut.

So do join this campaign! Spread it in your own blog, tumblr, etc. Kalau korang nak print buat fliers pon boleh gambar ni aku bagi kebenaran. Sangatlah dialu-alukan.

Oh by the way, WIR stands for Wear It Right. Hehe. So come on girls, let's do this. Covering the chest is the best!"



She's quite well known in the blogging world. I saw this campaign and straight away felt the need to spread the words around because it's a very good reminder.


As we can see nowadays, more and more 'head covers' fashion are mushrooming with all the tangling wrapping techniques and rainbow paddle-pop colours BUT it does not go in-line with the true meaning of how to COVER YOUR AURAH PROPERLY.


 “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest.” (An-Nur: 30-31)






So, this is a good start to revise back the actual way to cover the aurah.


Hijab is a start.....it's even better if you loose what's tight and make long what's short to complement it  =)


The simpler the better.Avoid tabarruj. Be modest, in what you wear,what you do and what you say  [ouch!]






I'm spreading it around to all beautiful Muslimah [including myself huahua] out there!! =)

News

I'm not the news type person ever since I started to have a clear vision of how the 'system' works but today I had some spare time  [read: less works wehooo!] so I thought,why not, let's watch some news shall we?




bla3 dirty politic games [blerghhh]......bla3 a guy faking a heart attack to prevent himself from getting caught by the police due to 'illegal' gambling activities  [judi haram,harap maklum].....bla3 3 year old girl died to what seems the C.O.D was 'abuse' but reported as "lemas" [ bla3 means this kind of situation seems already like a common thing happening here....innocent children are put to the deathbed as if they are not worth anything  *sigh*].....bla3 young girl suffered because dad threw acid at her face.....bla3 this 'group' does not want to release that 'player' and accuse that 'ex-trainer' as having a hidden agenda to establish a new group   [oh c'mon, ever heard of 'persaingan sihat' or not?]



The only news that fascinated me was the heavy flood in Brisbane and the yet to be found dead bodies of the earthquake victims in Haiti............how fascinating that in one place people are dealing with such situations. May Allah bless us all~


But, here.....seems like problems are welcomed instead of preventing it from happening......na'uzubillah 



I have no intentions to blame the news reporters, the broadcasters and whomever related  [because I know no works are easy works ] but please... provide more decent and worth of watching news. Please provide unbiased news pleaseeeeee  T_T. I need to acquire 'general'  legit knowledge, not dramas. Plus, some news are not suitable to be shown as people with 1001 unique minds might....ermmm....copycat?  [hint: fake heart attack or ideas on how to kill a child and make it look like an accident?]


or maybe of all days, only the day I watched it, the news weren't that fascinating?wallahu'alam




LOL,tgk berita emo mcm tgk cerita hindi pasaipa?





Peace! =)   [smiley to sign politeness]

A Touching Tale - Sa’ad AlAswad AlSulumi

As usual, I'll post whatever interesting/inspiring notes that I read in tumblr,

A story about  Sa'ad A-Aswad Al-Sulumi......MashaAllah~


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,


At the time of the prophet, pbuh, a man came to the prophet named Sa’ad AlAswad AlSulumi and asked him, “Oh, messenger of Allah, will I also enter into jannah.”

The messenger responded, “Of course you will enter into jannah if you are a believer.”

Sa’ad responded, “But me, I’m regarded as low amongst the believers.”

The prophet said, “Oh Sa’ad for you is the same reward as the rest of the believers,”

And Sa’ad asked, “then why would no one give me their daughter to marry.”

The prophet told him to go to Ibn AlWahab, and he was one of the leaders of Medina who had just embraced Islam, and his daughter was known for her beauty.

The prophet told Sa’ad go to Ibn AlWahab and tell him that I have sent you to request his daughters hand in marriage.”

Sa’ad went to the home of Ibn AlWahab looking for him. He was besides himself with excitement. He knocked on the door and said to Ibn AlWahab, The prophet has sent me to request your daughters hand in marriage.

Ibn AlWahab exclaimed, “You! To my daughter! Don’t you know my daughter! She’s known for her beauty,” and he told Sa’ad to go home.

As Sa’ad began to walk away, the daughter heard this, and said, “Oh father, wait. Wait! This is a request of the Messenger of Allah. Where will we be if we turn down a request of the prophet?! Where will we be if we turn away from the concerns of the messenger?! I’ll tell you where we will be. We will be where we are!”

And she turned to Sa’ad and said, “Go to the messenger of Allah, and tell him I am ready to marry you.”

Sa’ad went to the prophet and he was elated! The prophet married them with a  dowry of 400 dirhams.

Upon hearing that amount, Sa’ad exclaimed, “400 dirhams! Oh messenger of Allah, I have never even seen 400 dirhams!

The prophet instructed him to go to Ali AlNu’man ibn Awf and Uthman and tell them each to give you 200 dirhams each. They both gave him more than 200 dirhams. On his way home to see his wife, he decides to stop by the marketplace to buy some gift for his beautiful wife.

While at the market place, he hears the call to arms to prepare for battle. Sa’ad stood where he was and looked into the heavens. He said, “Oh Allah, I will buy something with this wealth that will please you. Oh Allah.” He bought a sword and a horse and he covered his face from the view of the messenger. He knew that if the prophet saw him he would send him home because he had just gotten married.

The Sahabi were questioning, “who is this man riding into battle with his face covered?” Ali replied, “He is coming to fight, leave him.” Sa’ad valiantly rode into battle, and eventually his horse was struck. He stood up, and the prophet saw his dark skin. The prophet asked him, “Oh Sa’ad is that you?!” Sa’ad said, “May my mother and my father be sacrificed for you oh messenger of Allah. It is Sa’ad. Muhammad, pbuh, said,

“Oh Sa’ad there is no other abode for you but jannah.” He heard this and jumped back into the battlefield.

After a while, people called that Sa’ad was wounded. The prophet ran into the battlefield. He ran to find Sa’ad. He took the head of Sa’ad and placed it in his lap. The tears of the prophet were flowing and falling onto the face of Sa’ad. The prophet was crying profusely. After a while, he started to smile, then he looked away. There was a sahaba named Abu Lubaba, who said “Oh Rasullulah, I saw you do something, I’ve never seen you do before. First you cried, then you smiled, then you looked away.” The Messenger said, “I cried because my beloved companion passed away. And I saw his sacrifice and his love for me. But when I saw his fate is by Allah, he had reached the hawd.” Abu Lubaba said, “What is the hawd?” He responded, “it is a fountain from which if a person drinks from, they will never be thirsty again. It is sweeter than honey and whiter than milk. And when I saw his status by Allah, I began to smile. Then I saw his wives in jannah running towards him with such eagerness that their shins were being exposed, so I looked away.”

Then the prophet came towards the sahaba and asked them to bring Sa’ad’s horse and sword. He then told them to take them to Sa’ad’s wife, and tell her that they were her inheritance. And also inform her that Allah has given Sa’ad wives in jannah even more beautiful than she is.

This was a man, who a while ago, didn’t know if he would attain jannah. He had no status in society. But look at his status by Allah! Because he lived- he died-  for Allah.


May Allah make us all people who live for the sake of Allah, swt. May Allah make us all people whose khair is revealed to everyone. May Allah keep us united in this dunya. May Allah reunite us all in AlFirdaws. 



Beautiful right? SubhanAllah~
