10 Things That Shouldn’t Happen Once You Become a More Practicing Muslim

Here are a list of 10 things that shouldn’t happen as a result of you turning a new leaf and becoming a more practicing (or new) Muslim:

1. You Become Narrow Minded

This is probably one of the worst – and ironic – things that can result from you becoming a more practicing Muslim. Islam has richness and diversity embedded within its history; from its revelation to the interpretations and rulings, from great scholars and intellectuals (think: Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik, Imam Ash-Shafi’i & Imam Ahmad), Islam is not something that can be limited to what you have learned from one person within your community, or after watching a few videos on YouTube. Contrary to what you might think, becoming closer to Allah, subhanahu wa ta ‘ala (exalted is He), and the teachings of Islam should make you far more OPEN minded. That is, the more educated you become, the more you realize that differences of opinions within Islam are not a curse, but a blessing. They make the religion easy & practical – a stark juxtaposition to the Islam you may be viewing through your narrow lenses.

Most of the time, it’s narrow mindedness that leads individuals to do the following:

2. You Rebel Against Your Family

Now that you have seen the light, you begin to notice the sins that your family may be immersed in. How dare they not pray? Why do they not attend these lectures? Why don’t they support me – I’m following the same religion as them after all!? Why wasn’t I born into a more practicing family? Why didn’t my parents teach my Qur’an from a younger age!? Why, why, why…?

These, and many more, are thoughts that might cross your mind. But you have to remember a couple of things: a) You will probably never be able to completely change your family – especially your parents b) Humble yourself. It was only a short while ago that you were immersed in the same sins and was it not by the mercy of the Most Merciful, your plight may have never changed.

Coming closer to Allah (swt) should indeed bring you closer to your family (despite their flaws) as now you realize the great importance of kinship in Islam, and the enormous rights of your parents upon you.

Day tour: Universal Studio Singapore (USS)

Plz note the actual date of this day tour was on Aug 23rd, 2014.

The must captured momento

I was holding USS revolving logo

with my two fingers

yeyy

We bought Air Asia air tickets two weeks before boarding to Singapore. It costs us RM207 return per pax. If you lucky, you may get cheaper than dat! We bought the USS entrance tickets from a stranger that we found in Backpackers Buddies Malaysia (BBM). She charged RM120 per tickets and she had two tickets. We bought both from her and another two more from travel agent (RM150 per tickets). For those, you may buy from RWSonline or for cheaper rate by coupon.

We depart at 7.40 am and it took an hour from Kuala Lumpur to Changi Airport, Singapore. We ride on three variation trains from Changi to USS and it took more or less an hour. We ride on skytrain from Changi Airport arrival hall to T2 (Terminal 2). The skytrain operates from 5am till 2.30am. [Tip1: During non-operating hours, they provided free shuttle bus service at T1 Departure Hall Door 5 (near row 14)].

A Muslim’s Guide to Traveling

The concept of travel as a means for spiritual growth, contemplation and learning as well as a means for societal progress has been important throughout Islamic tradition and history. It is clear from the accounts of Muslim geographers who mapped the globe; students who ventured far and wide to study with scholars; astronomers, linguists, scientists and emissaries that embarked on voyages around the world, as well as from the sunnah (tradition) of the Prophet ﷺ and the following Qur’anic ayah (verse):

“Say, [O Muhammad], ‘Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation…” (29:20)

Actions are judged by intentions, so the first step toward getting the most out of your trip is to make the sincere intention to travel for the sake of Allah (swt), for every step you take along the way to be a step closer to Him. You can start by reciting the du`a’ (supplication):

Allahumma aftahli abwaaba rahmatika - O Allah, open the doors of your mercy to me.

As with everything in Islam, travel has a higher purpose. This purification of intention will insha’Allah (God willing) facilitate the productivity and maximize the gain from the trip, both in this life and the next, so taking some time out to order your thoughts and prayers is essential.

While traveling, praise Allah (swt). Be grateful for the opportunities He has afforded you, seek Him everywhere you look, call out to Him and He will respond. During a moment of nighttime stillness, stand in awe of He who placed the stars there for you to see. When meeting people on your travels, remember that they are in their own right blessed works of His creation and that you can learn something from every single one of those souls He has put in your path.

Open your mind. We are an ummah (community) rife with racism and cultural prejudices and superiority complexes. Adopt the fundamental Muslim attitude that no human is better than another except according to his piety, captured in the verse:

“O mankind, indeed we have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another…” (49:13)

10 Meals of Sunnah

1. Rasulullah SAW didn't drink milk while he ate beef, chicken or fish
Nabi Muhammad SAW once cautioned his companions as not to mix fish and milk in a dish. This fact is actually proven by science where it was found that chicken contains positive ions while seafood or fish contains negative ions. When these two ions meet, they will create a biochemical reaction whih can lead to stomach pain or ulcers. 

2. Rasulullah SAW forbided drinking milk with vinegar
Vinegar is acidic and slows down the rate of protein absorption in the intestines. Body growth can be stunt because of lack of protein

Kebaikan Stokin Berjari (Toe Socks)

Saya dulu tak kesah langsung pasal ToeSox ni. Yerla stokin berjari. Uish, tak cantik la. Lucu. Hahaa. Tapi skung, I am the user of ToeSox! Guna utk kebaikan, peduli la orang nk gelak ke aper kat saya, yang penting selesa. Tapi macam susah nak cari outlet yang jual ToeSox ni. Kalu ader pun, it is a bit pricy compare to common socks (bag socks). ToeSox has the length varies from ankle-top to knee-high, just as other ordinary socks.

Hurm, on this en3, I would like to share on benefits of ToeSox :

Lelaki Boleh, Perempuan Tak Boleh?

"Tak aci! Lelaki boleh. Perempuan tak boleh," keluh seorang remaja puteri apabila dinasihati ibunya agar tidak memakai baju berlengan pendek ketika keluar rumah.

"Mana adil! Orang perempuan boleh enjoy duduk rumah," rungut hati seorang remaja lelaki apabila ayahnya mengajak ke masjid.

Adakah lelaki dan perempuan sama?

APA YANG SAMA?

Ada yang sama. Ada yang berbeza. Bukan sama secara mutlak. Bukan juga berbeza secara mutlak.

Antara aspek yang sama ialah dari segi nilai kemanusian. Kedua-dua lelaki dan perempuan adalah manusia. Perlu dilayan sebagai seorang manusia.  Bukan dipandang seperti syaitan yang hanya ada keburukan. Atau dipandang seperti malaikat yang perlu sempurna dan tiada dosa.

Seterusnya aspek bertanggung jawab terhadap dosa dan pahala sendiri, sama sahaja antara lelaki dan perempuan. Lelaki yang mencuri perlu dihukum. Begitu juga perempuan yang mencuri. Perempuan yang berzina perlu dihukum. Begitu juga lelaki yang berzina. Kedua-dua lelaki dan perempuan akan balik berjumpa Allah dan disoal amalan masing-masing. Bukan lelaki sahaja yang akan disoal. Bukan juga perempuan sahaja yang akan disumbat ke neraka.

MANA YANG BERBEZA?

Kegunaan Pandan (Pandanus adorus)

Daun Pandan yang dibuat bentuk bunga Rose! style kot.

Mungkin ada yang tak ambil peduli kegunaan pandan ni. Oleh itu, aku nk highlight sket pasal pandan. Aku suggest tanam je kat umah dari beli. Berbaloi taw. Kalu beli kat kedai, 50 sen seikat kecik tu, ader 3-4 helai je. Kdg2 dapat tak berapa nk segar lak tu. Oleh itu, jom la tanam pandan. Jangan bagi alasan susah nk tanam ek, sbb tanam dalam pasu pun blh je. Then, pandan ni senang hidup taw, iaitu pakai anak pokok ataw akar je!

Daun pandan berbau wangi sesuai dijadikan perasa makanan, pewarna dan pewangi. Selain itu, juga dijadikan kulit makanan seperti kueh tako dan tepung pelita.
