These words I jot down because I shudder with fear
At the thought that young Muslims can sleep without prayer
That to close ones eyes can be as easy as pie
Thinking that prayer is a ritual, outdated, should die.
You my friend, you must be as dumb as a log,
For you have forsaken your freedom, to be lead like a dog!
Have you the faintest idea what will happen to you
When you rot in your grave with the worms gnawing through.
When your body is dusting Your flesh rotted away
"GAME OVER" is flashing,And no more credits to play!Then the sun will explode and the mountains will sway
And the whole of creation will rise on that day!
The angels will fly, like moths to a flame
And you'll tear from the earth, to explain your life's game!
Blackened to a char will be the skin on your face
Your friends will desert you , there won't be a trace.
Iblis will be laughing, with a stitch on his side
Because you were too STUPID, to get off his ride
The wealth of this world, took you for its bride
Its too late friend, its HELL for you inside.
A fire so hot, that the boulders will burn
Like a match exploding, it'll soon be your turn.
If only you had that chance to repent
You'd soon reconsider all the time that you'd spent.
There will stand people, against whom you did tease
Because their sajdah did scare you, filled you with unease
While you tried to disown them, like a infectious disease,
Now you toss in the flames, while they cool in the breeze.
In the line of eternity, your life is a dot hundred years
Is all that you've got, 5 minutes of prayer!
Not worth the time ? You've committed the greatest crime!
Prayer is not for your God O! Fear our Lord!
When you put that big head on the humblest of dust
Its your heart that you clean, all tarnished with rust!
You connect your soul wiz creations'
Great Light, Even the darkest of hearts can be left shining bright.
You remove all the sin, and Shaitan's whispering words
Slash evil's hold, with the greatest of swords.
Prayer is the path from earth to the sky
From a caterpillar you'll become a bright butterfly.
Prayer makes you remember that you aren't all that hot
And that your life really starts, when your flesh starts to rot
Prayer is that link to the mother from the womb
Prayer is the guardian that protects you in the tomb.
Prayer untangles your life, like a comb thru your hair
Against the fire of hell, it's the only cloak you can wear
So understand friend! To skip prayers is not cool
Its so stupid, so mad, you must be a fool.
It's like crossing a desert without water to drink
Just open your eyes friend, just sit back and think!
This world is a lie, this world is game
Like a poisonous snake, which you never can tame.
And just as you turn your back on what's right
There is sure something to bite
Fangs will leap from the darkness,
Leading you to sadness.
As you lie in your coffin, facing the sky,
Your life will flash past, a twinkle in your eye.
You'll scream as the truth is slowly unveiled
Its too late, mate. This one you've failed.

What Prayer Is . .

DUNIA AKAN MEMBEKU JIKA TIADANYA "CINTA"
Cinta adalah akar dari segala kebaikkan dan keutamaan hidup manusia.Jesteru itu,Rasulullah saw dalam satu hadithnya memberi panduan yang bermaksud:
"Tidaklah berimah seseorang diantara kamu sehingga ia mencintai saudaranya sebagaimanan ia mencintai dirinya sendiri."
Namun disaat peradaban manusia semakin materialistik, sombong, serta tamak haloba,masih adakah telinga yang mahu mendengar pesan-pesan agung para Nabi itu? Dan hakikat ini juga Nabi Isa a.s dikatakan pernah berpesan:"Cintailah jiranmu".
Tidak dinafikan bahawa peradaban yang menguasai arus globalisasi,berkat ilmu dan teknologi moden adalah peradaban yang lahir dan keadaaan hati yang sedang membeku. Akibat kebekuan hati manusia akan lenyapnya kepekaan terhadap nilai baik dan buruk. Baik dan buruk telah dijadikan barang perniagaan tanpa modal Hati yang beku dan tertutup inilah yang dinyatakan dalam Al-Quran suruh Al-Araaf ayat 179..firman Allah yang bermaksud:
"Dan sesungguhnya kami jadikan untuk neraka jahanam banyak jin dan manusia yang mempunyai hati (tetapi) tidak mahu memahami dengannya (ayat-ayat Allah) dan yang mempunyai mata (tetapi) tidak mahu melihat dan dengannya dan mempunyai telinga tetapi tidak mahu mendengar ajaran dan nasihat."
Hati mereka sudah buta dan sudah tidak berfungsi lagi sebagaimana mestinya.Implikasi kedua akibat hati adalah hubungan persaudaraan hanya didasarkan semata-mata atas kekuatan benda dan kepentingan-kepentingan duniawi lain. Akibatnya suasana persaudaraan umat manusia di dunia terasa begitu kering dan tandus.Umat Islam berpecah belah dan berperang sesama sendiri dan ajaran persaudaraan sejati seperti yang ditekan oleh al-Quran sudah tidak dihirau lagi semata-mata kerana tarikan kepentingan benda dan bangsa yang lebih diutamakan.
Implikasi ketiga akibat kebekuan hati manusia kita dapat lihat bentuk tindakannya yang rakus,baik terhadap benda mahupun terhadap kekuasaan. Benda dan kekuasaan seseungguhnya apabila jatuh ke tangan hati yang beku akan membawa malapetaka.Kerakusan itu sebenarnya adalah simbol dan struktur batin yang sakit dan tidak bermaya.Malangnya,hari ini banyak sekali manusia tidak mampu melihat bencana yang mungkin ditumbulkan oleh watak manusia yang rakus ini.Ketumpulan wawasan moral dan kerakusan terhadap kebendaan dan kekuasaan sepanjang sejarah telah mencabik-cabikkan prinsip kesatuan umat manusia.
Para sahabat yang dikasihi:
Carilah cinta yang hakiki dan cinta kepada yang lain kerana Allah,janganlah kerana cinta,kita sanggup menggadaikan agama dan maruah kita.Ingatlah kita akan dipersoal kerananya kelak.
Begitulah antara 3 implikasi yang dapat kita sama-sama hayati dan fikir-fikirkan bila mana perasaan cinta yang dikurniakan Allah swt didalam hati manusia itu disalah guna.Ya,memang benar"dunia akan membeku jika tiadanya cinta..membeku dan terhenti dari perkara-perkara kebaikkan,keprihatinan dan kasih sayang.Moga bermanfaat buat semua..insyaALLAH.
Wallahualam.

Truth is stranger than fiction
The following stories are allegedly true:-
A man hit by a car in New York in 1977 got up uninjured, but lay back down in front of the car when a bystander told him to pretend he was hurt so he could collect insurance money. The car rolled forward and crushed him to death.
In 1983, a Mrs. Carson of Lake Kushaqua, N.Y., was laid out in her coffin, presumed dead of heart disease. As mourners watched, she suddenly sat up. Her daughter dropped dead of fright.
A fierce gust of wind blew 45-year-old Vittorio Luise's car into a river near Naples, Italy, in 1983. He managed to break a window, climb out and swim to shore -- where a tree blew over and killed him.
Mike Stewart, 31, of Dallas was filming a movie in 1983 on the dangers of low-level bridges when the truck he was standing on passed under a low-level bridge -- killing him.
Walter Hallas, a 26-year-old store clerk in Leeds, England, was so afraid of dentists that in 1979 he asked a fellow worker to try to cure his toothache by punching him in the jaw. The punch caused Hallas to fall down, hitting his head, and he died of a fractured skull.
Depressed since he could not find a job, 42-year-old Romolo Ribolla sat in his kitchen near Pisa, Italy, with a gun in his hand threatening to kill himself in 1981. His wife pleaded for him not to do it, and after about an hour he burst into tears and threw the gun to the floor. It went off and killed his wife.
Surprised while burgling a house in Antwerp, Belgium, a thief fled out the back door, clambered over a nine-foot wall, dropped down and found himself in the city prison.
Two West German motorists had an all-too-literal head-on collision in heavy fog near the small town of Guetersloh. Each was guiding his car at a snail's pace near the center of the road. At the moment of impact their heads were both out of the windows when they smacked together. Both men were hospitalized with severe head injuries. Their cars weren't scratched.
Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessant nagging by giving her a good scare, Hungarian Jake Fen built an elaborate harness to make it look as if he had hung himself. When his wife came home and saw him she fainted. Hearing a disturbance a neighbour came over and, finding what she thought were two corpses, seized the opportunity to loot the place. As she was leaving the room, her arms laden, the outraged and suspended Mr. Fen kicked her stoutly in the backside. This so surprised the lady that she dropped dead of a heart attack. Happily, Mr. Fen was acquitted of manslaughter and he and his wife were reconciled.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
An Inspirational Story, Motivational Story - Two Brothers
One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's tool box. "I'm looking for a few days' work" he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?" "Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you."
"Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbor; in fact, it's my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll do him one better."
"See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence --an 8-foot fence -- so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."
The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."
The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.
The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge -- a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all -- and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done." The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand.
They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother. "I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, but I have many more bridges to build.
Food for Thought:
Do you have any bridges
that you need to build?

Love for Allah
If my love is attached to Thee
Then from sin I will be free
Each time my heart will beat
Your name will resound with heat
With your name shivers my each limb
They seek to be released from whim
Allah, Allah, is my hearts speech
Your Mercy is what I beseech
The Most Merciful keep me content
With all that You have sent
Keep in my heart Your remembrance
And in Your deen and love allow me to advance
Help me in my quest
Permit me to pass the ultimate test
Save me from the clutches of Satan
Give me death upon Imaan.

kisah segelas air
Suatu pagi, seorang guru berdiri di hadapan kelas sambil mengangkat segelas air. Dia bertanya kepada murid-muridnya;
“Cuba kamu teka, berapa berat gelas ini?”
Jawab murid yang duduk di hadapan kelas: “50 gram, cikgu!”
Guru tersebut tersenyum. “Yang lain?” sooalnya.
“Saya rasa mungkin 100 gram,” jawab seorang pelajar perempuan.
Bangun pula seorang pelajar lelaki di tengah-tengah kelas, “Jawapannyan mesti antara 50 hingga 500 gram.
Siapakah yang berjaya memberi jawapan yang betul? Adakah berat gelas itu 200 gram? 300 gram? 410 gram? atau 100 gram?
Jawab gurunya, “Jawapan kamu mungkin betul dan mungkin juga salah!
Sebenarnya, berat segelas air ini tidak begitu penting sebab ianya bergantung kepada berapa lama kamu memegangnya.
“Jika kamu pegang gelas ini satu minit, tak jadi masalah. Kalau satu jam, tangan kamu akan sakit. Sehari! Kamu perlu diusung ke ambulans.” Ketawa murid-muridnya mendengar kata- kata guru itu.
Sambung guru tersebut; “Murid-murid sekalian… berat segelas air ini takkan berubah tapi semakin lama kamu memegangnya, ia akan menjadi semakin berat.Apa yang patut kamu lakukan ialah letakkan gelas itu ke bawah, rehat beberapa minit dan sambungnya kembali.
“Begitu juga dengan kehidupan seharian kita. Jika kita ada masalah, selesaikannya secepat mungkin. Kalau kita masih gagal menyelesaikannya, rehat sebentar. Lupakan masalah itu untuk seketika.
“Jangan terlalu memikirkannya kerana ia akan menyebabkan fikiran kita tidak tenang dan terganggu. Ketenangan amat penting sebelum kita memikirkan masalah itu kembali.”
