  • Segala makhluk yg ada di bumi pasti binasa
  • Tapi Allah Maha Agung dan Maha Mulia akan kekal selamanya
  • Maka, nikmat Tuhanmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?
  • Segenap makhluk di langit dan di bumi memohon kpd-Nya, setiap waktu Dia dlm kesibukan
  • Maka, nikmat Tuhanmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?
  • Kami akan perhatikan persoalanmu, wahai dua makhluk, jin dan manusia
  • Maka, nikmat Tuhannmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?
  • Wahai segenap jin dan manusia, jika kamu sanggup menebusi keluar dari daerah langit dan bumi, maka tembusilah dan tidak mungkin kamu sanggup tanpa kekuasaan Kami
  • Maka, nikmat Tuhanmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?
  • Kpd kamu(jin dan manusia), dilepaskan nyalaan api dan cairan tembaga.maka kamu tidak dapat menyelamatkan diri
  • Maka nikmat Tuhanmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?
  • Bila langit terpecah belah menjadi merah mawar bagaikan minyak berkilauan
  • Maka, nikmat Tuhanmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?
  • Pada hari itu tidak ditanyakan lagi kepada manusia dan jin tentang dosanya
  • Maka, nikmat Tuhanmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?
  • Setiap org yg berdosa pasti dikenali dgn tanda2nya, lalu mereka diseret pada ubun2 dan kaki mereka
  • Maka, nikmat Tuhanmu yg mana yg kamu berdua dustakan?

[ Surah Ar-Rahman;ayat 26-42]

Suka tak suka, bersedia atau tidak, kematian pasti akan datang. Takkan lewat walau sesaat dan takkan awal walaupun sesaat maksudnya on-time la..Perjalanan hidupnya di dunia telah sampai titik noktahnya dan seseorang itu pasti mesti+wajib memulakan perjalanan akhirat. Sesungguhnya perjalanan akhirat itu tidak berpenghujung. Perjalanan yg menyaksikan betapa kerdil, bodoh, lemah serta jahil sekali diri. Perjalanan yang menyingkap betapa manusia itu baru tersedar, terkejut dan tersentak dari mimpi yang panjang.barulah tersedar yang dulu orang selalu bagi peringatan,pesan itu, pesan ini, tapi aku yang xnak ikut..buat endah tak endah..tapi segala penyesalan dh x berguna..ibarat nasi dh basi,,apa pun dh xboleh buat klu jadi bubur still boleh makan. Kubur adalah jawapan kepada perjalanan akhirat yg panjang. Andai dimuliakan, mulialah selama-lamanya. Andai dihina, terhina berpanjangan...

Ya Allah yg Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Mengasihani, ampunkanlah dosa-dosa kami, yg kami sengajakan dan tidak sengaja, yg jelas dan yg tersembunyi.Limpahkanlah rahmat dan kasih-sayangMu kpd kami dan kurniakanlah kpd kami husnul khatimah dan bukannya suul khatimah..ameen..

Ramadhan in egypt
Lanterns of Light
For Muslims around the world, the holy month of Ramadhan is a time when people fast between dawn and sunset, perform more prayers, read more Qur’an, give more sadaqah (voluntary charity), and worship more than at any other time during the year.
Muslims around the world perform the same types of worship in the same way. However Ramadhan traditions vary from one country to another, and even from town to village. For Egyptians, the holy month of Ramadhan is the most special occasion of the year. The saying goes, ‘If you haven’t seen Ramadhan celebrated in Egypt then you haven’t seen celebrations!’
Morning Drums
Before dawn, the Musaharti starts his job. The Musaharati is the person who wakes people up to have their Sahur (pre-dawn meal). Walking in the streets drumming on a small drum, sometimes singing and sometimes shouting, he ensures everybody wakes up for Sahur.
Ramadhan Specials
A few days before the start of Ramadhan, and every day during the holy month, streets get very busy with people rushing to buy Ramadhan specialities. The artistic pastries, cookies and cakes such as Konafah, Basbousah, and Katayef were first introduced by the Fatimids, and are available everywhere. Qamar Eldin (apricot juice) crowns every table in every home, in addition to Medamis (fava beans), Zabadi (yoghurt) and delicious and colourful jars of Torshi Baladi (home-made pickles).
Charity Corners
In some parts of the country, especially in large cities like Cairo, social solidarity is expressed in the form of “charity banquets”. Wealthy businessmen pay their Zakat (compulsory charity) by providing food for the poor and passers-by who cannot afford the means to break their fast. Almost every street corner has tables and chairs set up with free food for anyone in need.
Iftar Cannons
As the sun sets over the old city of Cairo, a great silence falls. Suddenly, the roar of four ancient cannons in Saladin Citadel shakes the whole city, announcing Iftar (break of fast). Thousands of mosques call the faithful to Maghreb prayer, the adhaan ringing out of loudspeakers, radios, and televisions to shatter the silence.
Mosques are full of worshippers at the five times of prayer, especially during Taraweeh prayers. You can hear the beautiful sound of ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is Most Great) wherever you go.
Fantastic Fanous
During Ramadhan the many ancient mosques and medieval neighbourhoods of Cairo are all decorated with fanous ramadhan (Ramadhan lanterns). Every mosque, building, street, lane and alley is lit up.
The traditional fanous are shaped from tin, wire rings and coloured glass, and lit by a candle. Plastic battery-operated versions are available these days, but they lack the charm of the original.
There are many different stories about the origins of the fanous. The most interesting story dates from the reign of the Fatimid Caliph, Al-Hakim Bi-Amr Allah. Apparently women were only allowed to go outside their homes during Ramadhan, and they were preceded by a little boy carrying a copper lantern so that men in the streets would move away. But even after the laws were relaxed, people liked the lanterns so much that their children would carry them in the streets every Ramadhan. Since then, fanous has always been an integral part of Ramadhan in Egypt.
However, the most probable origins of fanous were described by Al-Maqrizi. He traces it back to the Coptic Christians who celebrated Christmas by decorating the streets of ancient Egypt with colourful candles. The tradition of celebrating with lights goes back even further to the torches used by the Ancient Egyptians, which was continued by the Coptics using candles, and endures today with Fanous Ramadhan.
Egyptian Eid
After 30 days of fasting for Ramadhan, Egyptian Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr in grand style. A cannon is fired at dusk, launching three days of festivities in which people wear new clothes, visit friends and family, prepare huge feasts and give charity to the poor.
The transport systems are jammed with people traveling back to their families. Felucca (sailboat) rides on the river Nile are a special feature of Eid celebrations around Cairo.
A central part of Eid celebrations is delicious food. Egyptian bakeries and stores are filled with kahk, cookies filled with nuts and coated in powdered sugar. Special Eid dishes also include qatayaf, (stuffed pancake dessert), kanafeh (dessert made from cheese, shredded wheat, & sugar syrup), koshary (a rice and pasta dish), and mahshee (various stuffed leaves or vegetables).
