Long Overdue

Assalamualaikum semua,

Maaflah, memang lama betul blog ini terbiar sepi. Maklumlah, bila dah sepenuh masa duk kat rumah nie, mmg susah nak dapat peluang masa duk dpn pc. Lama betul sy tak singgah masuk ke alam internet nie. I was too self involved up to a point that I was not even aware of what was happening in the world around us.

My husband came home with tidbits of news. Once, he came home and told me that some reporter threw his shoes at Bush. Ha..ha..ha. I regret missing that story. Last week, he came home to tell me that the situation in Palestine was really bad. This kinda woke me up from my self absorption. Finally, I switched on the news and read some internet articles. Things really have gone bad. Only to Allah can we seek help & refuge. Allah knows best and everything happens thru His will. Only duas and sympathy from me. May ALlah grant the victims of Palestines with unequivocal rewards. Truly Allah is Most Just. It is definitely unimaginable if something such as this happens to me or my family. It is only thru ALlah's mercy that we have been spared from such atrocities. Last night, as we were reading Muntakhab Hadith, we found this;

Dari Umar r.a meriwayatkan bahawa rasulullah saw bersabda;

Barangsiapa yang melihat sesorang dlm kesusahan dan malapetaka dan membaca doa ini:

Segala puji bagi ALlah yang telah menyelamatkan aku dari yang telah menimpa kamu, yang telah melebihkan aku keatas kebanyakan ciptaanNya.

Akan diselamatkan dari malapetaka dlm seluruh kehidupannya, tidak kira bagaimana malapetaka yg terjadi.

(HR Tirmizi)

Jaafar rah berkata, doa ini mesti diucapkan dlm hati seseorg supaya org yg tertimpa malapetaka tidak mendengarnya.

I do apologize that I couldn't type in the actual arabic dua. If this dua interest you, please refer to Muntakhab Hadith (Malay) pg 462 under the chapter of Ilmu & Zikir. InsyaALlah.
