Just like little kind words and some motivation to get through rough days.. Something to keep you going.

Those of you who still have your mothers with you, this is something to ponder and to witness as your life unfolds. Those of you who, no longer have your mothers with you, this may be something that sparks a memory for you. Those of you who are mothers, this is something for you to think about as you move through life with your children. Those who have no children, this is something to think about when you encounter children along your life's path, as mothering is not relegated to a biological parent only!!!
***
The young mother set her foot on the path of life.
"Is this the long way?"
,she asked. And the guide said,
"Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning."
But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, and gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them, and the young mother cried,
"Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."
Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was dark, and the children shook with fear and cold.
The mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said,
"Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."
And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children,
"A little patience and we are there."
So the children climbed, and when they reached the top they said,
"Mother, we would not have done it without you."
And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and said,
"This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I have given them strength."
And the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the mother said,
"Look up. Lift your eyes to the light."
And the children looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness. And that night the mother said,
"This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children the awareness of Islaam."
And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said,
"I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone."
And the children said,
"You will always walk with us, mother, even when you have gone through the gates."
And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said,
"We cannot see her, but her example is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory, she is an example to be followed."
Your mother is the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop.
TO ALL OUR MOTHERS. MAY WE NEVER TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED.
O ALLAH , forgive us and our parents, and reward them with the finest reward. O ALLAH elevate their position in the hereafter and this world. Make that which befalls them an expiation for their sins. O Allah, grant them residence in al-Firdows, the highest level of JannahParadise. , with the Prophets, the Siddeeqeen, and the Martyrs. Aameen.

Life is a Theatre...
Invite Your Audience Carefully
Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in your life.
There are some people in your life who need to be loved from a DISTANCE.
It is amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of - or minimize
... your time with - those draining, negative, incompatible, 'not-going- anywhere'
relationships or friendships.
Observe the relationships around you.
Pay close attention...
Which ones lift, and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage, and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill, and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama, or don't really understand, know or
appreciate you & the gifts that lie within you?
Remember that the people you have around you will have an impact on your
life, your values and your income. So, be careful when choosing the
people you hang out with, as well as the information with which you will
feed your mind. We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor
feed our minds with negative thoughts.
The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth
around you... the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit
in the FRONT ROW, and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
Ask for wisdom and discernment, and choose wisely the people who
will sit in the front row of your life.
You cannot change the people around you....but you CAN change the people
you choose to be around!
WHO IS IN YOUR FRONT ROW? ~*
The level of sincerity when praying for success in final examinations is very high. The same applies when praying for protection from a mishap on a turbulent aircraft, cure from a serious illness or any extremely important matter. Some begin to say their daily prayers, dress appropriately & leave all sin because of the need of the moment. This should be the case at all times and not just when we are in dire need. Do we follow those who transgress and sin immediately upon passing their exams, or landing safely or being cured from disease etc yet moments ago they were weeping to their Maker whilst pleading their case, making every promise to obey His Commands? We are taught that those who gain closeness to the Almighty during times of ease shall indeed feel the closeness and assistance of the Almighty during times of difficulty or distress. He is STILL Most Forgiving Most Merciful & gives us much more than we deserve!

All of us could take a lesson from the nature. It pays no attention to criticism, but continues to obey ALLAH.
:: Who is the real Bankrupt? ::
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) asked: “Do you know who is bankrupt.”
They replied: “The bankrupt person is one who has no silver coin and no provision.”
He said: “In fact, the bankrupt person from among my people is the one who comes to the Day of Resurrection with prayers, fasts, and charity to his credit, but he had spoken ill of someone, slandered someone else, misappropriated someone's money, shed someone's blood, and assaulted someone else. Thereupon his good deeds will be given over to this one and to that one. If his good deeds run out before his account is complete, then some of their evil deeds will be taken and cast upon him. Then he will be cast into the Fire.” [ Sahîh Muslim (2581)]
Hope (in ALLAH) lost, makes the heart sick...

He who has no one has ALLAH ♥
"If a person were wise, his concern over his own sins would distract him from seeing the faults of others; the same way an ill and injured person is distracted by his own suffering from seeing the pain of others."

Importance of Saying Insha-Allah.. (short story)
During a Jumah Khutbah in a small town, an Imam talked about the significance of saying "Insha Allah" (which means if Allah wills) when planning to do something in the future. After a few days, a man who had also attended the Khutbah was going to buy a cow from the market. On the way, he met a friend who asked him where he was going. He told him about buying the cow but did not say Insha Allah in the end. His friend reminded him about the Khutbah and told him to say Insha Allah. However, this individual said that he had the money he needs and the energy to go to the market, thus, there is no point of saying Insha Allah as he will certainly buy the cow. He thought that saying Insha Allah will not make any difference.
When he reached the market, he found a cow that met his expectations. He burgained with the seller and came to a reasonable price. Finally, he decided to pay for the cow but was dumbfounded when he discovered that his money was missing. A thief had stolen the money while he was walking through the busy market. The cow seller asked him whether he was going to buy the cow or not. "Insha Allah, I will buy it next week," he said. When he reached home, his wife inquired about the cow. He told her about how he forgot to say Insha Allah, and also added, "Insha Allah, I wanted to buy the cow. But Insha Allah, my money was stolen. Insha Allah, I will buy it next week." His wife clarified to him that we should say Insha Allah for things that are yet to happen, not for those things that had already happened. He never forgot his "Insha Allah" again.
This incident was narrated by Shaikh Wahidullah from Toronto, Canada.

When you go through a hard period, when everything seems to oppose you, when you feel you cannot bear even one minute, never give up!
Because it is the time and place that the course will divert...go In Sajdah and cry your heart out , tell ALLAH about each and every sorrow and difficulty you are facing..and when you will raise your head from sajda, you gonna feel Allah's soothing mercy all around you InshALLAH ♥
Them days when you know that ALLAH SWT has truly tested you..
SubhanALLAH..
The stronger your faith is in ALLAH; The harder it becomes for someone to break you.

Guard your tongue as you guard your gold, for many a word snatches away blessings & brings adversity. Ali (RadiAllahuan)
"If you want to get married, or you need a new job, or you just feel like people keep closing doors on you, call upon ALLAH by His Name Al-Fattah (The Opener, The Granter of Success), Because even if people try to close doors on you, He will swing them wide open and give you opportunities you’ve never even dreamed of. This does not mean we rely upon Allah for everything, we must strive to be successful, and seek ALLAH 's help throughout!"
Those moments you ponder about those you mention in your Dua.. May ALLAH SWT accept all our Dua's.. Ameen
“You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
The One Who Created Us, Knows Us Best ♥
"Do not lose heart against the heaviest trials and never be in a state of grief for you are bound to succeed if you are true in faith."

Bukti penemuan hasil kajian saintifik oleh Dr. Masaru Emoto seorang “pakar air” dari Jepun.
Penemuan oleh Dr Masaru Emoto ini sungguh menakjubkan. Beliau membuktikan bahawa susunan molekul-molekul air boleh berubah mengikut apa yang diucapkan ke atas air tersebut.
Ustaz Abdullah Mahmud yang pernah berceramah di Surau Wisma Telekom Semarak, pada tahun lepas pernah menceritakan penemuan ini. Beliau memaklumkan bahawa beliau telah mengikuti satu seminar yang disampaikan oleh seorang pakar air dari Jepun di Hotel Istana. Dalam seminar itu, mereka telah ditunjukkan melalui slaid, contoh-contoh air yang dilihat daripada mikroskop khas. Sumber air ini diambil daripada laut, sungai, empangan, perigi dan sebagainya. Ada pelbagai bentuk, daripada rupa cantik bercahaya seolah-olah seperti berlian hinggalah ke ‘hodoh dan mengerunkan” seperti rupa jin bertelinga besar, bertanduk dan sebagainya.
Suatu ketika, apabila ditunjukkan “rupa air yang cantik bercahaya,” molekulnya tersusun cantik, seperti berlian bersegi-segi, bersinar-sinar, berwarna-warni melebihi 12 warna, para hadirin telah disoal pakar air tersebut tentang asal usul sampel air itu. Salah seorang hadirin meneka, itu mungkin air Zam-Zam. Dan sememangnya telah disahkan benar oleh pakar air tersebut. Kemudian beberapa hadirin dipilih untuk membuat kajian. Di atas pentas, mereka dikehendaki membacakan sesuatu ke atas air mineral masing-masing. Lalu salah seorang hadirin dikehendaki menunjukkan hasil kajiannya. Apabila ditunjukkan di skrin kelihatan molekul air itu membentuk seolah-olah seperti tokong cina ( dengan janggut yang panjang dan perut buncit ).
Apabila tiba giliran Ustaz Abdullah, air tersebut dibacakan surah Al-Fatihah, Selawat dan ayat Kursi, maka apabila dipaparkan di skrin kelihatan molekulnya seperti berlian yang berkilau-kilau, cantik bercahaya. Kemudiannya beliau disuruh membaca sebarang ayat atau kata-kata yang tidak elok, maka ternampaklah di skrin molekul air itu berubah menjadi seperti sel-sel barah.
Banyak hadis dan ayat-ayat Quran, yang menceritakan fenomena ini. Air juga merupakan makhluk Allah yang bernyawa. Dengan keizinan daripada-Nya, ia mampu menyembuh dan memudaratkan seseorang, kerana dalam Islam ada kaedah-kaedah tertentu yang menggunakan air, untuk berikhtiar mengubati penyakit. Salah satu daripadanya mengunakan air penawar, atau dalam bahasa mudahnya air jampi. Seperti mana yang pernah diamalkan Rasulullah, dan diikuti oleh ulama-ulama Islam, para ustaz, para imam.
Gambar di atas antara contoh-contoh air yang dilihat daripada mikroskop khas, yang telah didedahkan dengan pelbagai situasi “suara dan kata-kata” seperti yang dibuktikan oleh Dr Masaru Emoto melalui kajiannya.

HIDDEN MESSAGES OF WATER by Dr. Masaru Emoto
Dr. Masaru Emoto studies the relationship between water, its environment and influences and the affects they have on each individual molecule.
Dr. Emoto writes that water is able to memorize and transport information. He demonstrates this by photographing frozen water crystals to reveal their changes to various chosen mediums including music, images, thoughts and words.
Dr. Emoto says, "The vibration of good words has a positive effect on our world whereas the vibration from negative words has the power to destroy." (Masaru Emoto, The Hidden Messages in Water, XXV)
The result are impressive. See for yourself...
