Bagaimana setin Coca Cola boleh menyelamatkan ISLAM?Setiap dari kita yang mengaku beragama ISLAM perlu MEMBOIKOT dan menghentikan diri dari membeli dan meminum  produk keluaran Coca Cola. Populasi umat islam di seleruh dunia berjumlah 1.5billion iaitu kira-kira 1/5 populasi dunia. Sekiranya 1/5 billion umat islam ini bersatu hati untuk hanya memboikot Coca Cola, bayangkan betapa besar kesannya keatas ekonomi Israel. Jika kita memboikot biar setin Coca Cola, kita boleh menyelamatkan seorang anak kecik Palestine dari ditembak oleh senapang dan meriam Israel yang ditaja Coca Cola.Senang bukan?

Berikut adalah antara sokongan Coca Cola terhadap Israel.

From 1966 onward Coca-Cola has been a staunch supporter of Israel.[4]

In 1997 the Government of Israel Economic Mission honored Coca-Cola at the Israel Trade Award Dinner for its continued support of Israel for the last 30 years and for refusing to abide by the Arab League boycott of Israel. [1]

[ In contrast Pepsi abide by the Arab League boycott of Israel which ended in May 1991, after 1992 Pepsi is also trading in Israel - see [2] ]

In 2001 the Coca-Cola World Headquarters hosted and was the main sponsor of the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce Awards Gala.[5].

It has been revealed that Coca-Cola Israel sponsors training programs for its workers on subjects including the Israeli-Arab conflict. The course content is created by a company funded by the Jewish Agency and the Israeli government.[6]

In February 2002, Coca-Cola teamed up with “Friends of Israel” and National Hillel to cosponsor a lecture given by the infamous Zionist correspondent Linda Gradstein at the University of Minnesota.[3]

In July 2002, it has been announced that Coca-Cola, in return for millions in incentives from the Israeli government, is to build a new plant on stolen Palestinian land at Kiryat Gat.[7]

In October 2005, Coca-Cola increased its investment in Israel by buying a 51 percent controlling interest in the Tavor Winery.[11]

Selain itu kita juga bukan hanya perlu memboikot Coca Cola tetapi produk-produk lain keluaran Coca Cola yang menggunakan Brand Name yang pelbagai. Berikut merupakan antara produk-produk keluaran Coca Cola yang sering kita gunakan.

Berikut adalah 5 tips bagaimana berurusan dengan lelaki ajnabi. Tips-tips ini telah dikongsi oleh seorang sahabat yang amat disegani oleh kaum lelaki dan kaum wanita. Semoga dengan mengamalkan perbatasan hubungan ini, akan lebih mensucikan hati kita dan hati mereka. Sama-samalah kita menjaga hati…

1. Elakkan berurusan dengan lelaki – Selagi masih boleh dan berpeluang untuk minta tolong daripada perempuan. Kecuali dalam hal seperti dalam hal repair kereta, repair laptop dan lain-lain. Disebabkan limitation kemampuan wanita dalam hal tersebut, maka terpaksalah juga akhirnya minta bantuan daripada orang lelaki.

2. Kalau terpaksa berkomunikasi dengan orang lelaki, gunakanlah medium perantaraan dalam bentuk tulisan seperti SMS, e-mail atau nota kecil. Gunakan perkataan-perkataan formal,bukan bahasa pasar. Contoh :maaf(bukan sorrie..), terima kasih(bukan time kacih..). Lagi satu, tak payahlah buat smiley face ke =),gelak ke (hihihi..), dan lain-lain yang kurang berfaedah.

Dalam dunia ini,
Kita tidak punya sesiapa kecuali diri sendiri.
Tetapi dalam kita bersendiri,
Kita beruntung kerana mempunyai seorang sahabat yang memahami kita.
Sebagaimana kita mengharapkan keikhlasan dan kejujuran seorang sahabat, begitu juga dia.

Tetapi kita sering terlupa akan hal itu.
Kita cuma mengambil kira tentang harapan dan perasaan kita.
Kita rasa dikhianati bila dia tidak menepati janjinya.
Kita tidak memberi dia peluang untuk menerang keadaannya.
Bagi kita, Itu alasannya untuk menutup kesilapan dan membela diri.
Kita terlupa, kita juga pernah membiarkan dia ternanti-nanti..
Kerana kita juga ada janji yang tidak ditepati.

Kita beri beribu alasan, memaksa dia menerima alasan kita.
Waktu itu, terfikirkah kita tentang perasaannya??
Seperti kita, dia juga tahu rasa kecewa.. tetapi kita sering terlupa.
Untungnya mempunyai seorang kawan yang sentiasa di sisi kita pada waktu kita memerlukan dia.
Dia mendengar luahan perasaan kita, segala rasa kecewa dan ketakutan, harapan dan impian kita luahkan,
Dia memberi jalan sebagai laluan penyelesaian masalah.

Buat tatapan semua.. Ambillah iktibar daripada kisah ini. Adakah kita boleh melakukan sepertinya.Sama-samalah kita renungkan.

IBU MITHALI

Ibu Mithali – Nadamurni

Belaian Ibu – Hijjaz

PENERIMA ketiga berjalan perlahan-lahan turun dari pentas. Di lehernya, telah terkalung pingat “Ibu Mithali”. Tangan kanannya menggenggam erat satu sampul dan segulung sijil. Tangan kirinya pula memegang beberapa hadiah iringan. Anaknya setia melangkah di sisi.

“Sekarang …,” suara pengacara majlis bergema kembali, “Tibalah kita kepada penerima anugerah “Ibu Mithali” yang terakhir. Penerima ini agak lain daripada yang lain dan sungguh istimewa. Untuk itu, dipersilakan Puan Afifah Rashid naik ke pentas bersama- sama Cik Nurul Humairah, untuk tampil memperkenalkan ibunya. Dipersilakan. “

Mataku tercari-cari pasangan ibu dan anak yang bakal mengambil tempat itu. Di barisan penonton paling hadapan, aku dapati seorang anak gadis berkulit hitam manis dan bertubuh tinggi lampai, sedang berusaha memujuk seorang wanita dalam lingkungan usia 60-an untuk bangun.

Aneh, kenapa ibu yang seorang ini nampaknya begitu keberatan untuk naik ke pentas? Kenapa dia tidak seperti tiga orang penerima sebelumnya, yang kelihatan begitu bangga menapak naik ke pentas, sebaik sahaja mereka dijemput?

Hampir lima minit kemudian, barulah tampak si anak gadis yang memakai sepasang kebarung bertanah ungu dan berbunga merah jambu serta bertudung ungu kosong, bersusah payah memimpin ibunya naik ke pentas.

Ibu itu pun menduduki kerusi yang telah diduduki oleh tiga orang penerima sebelumnya. Anak gadis itu kemudiannya beredar ke pembesar suara. Dia beralih pandang kepada ibunya yang hanya tunduk memerhati lantai pentas. Read the rest of this entry »

saya mulakan dengan sabda rasulullah s.a.w.

“siapa yang berkehendakkan dunia, dia mestilah mempunyai ilmu; siapa yang berkehendakkan akhirat, dia hendaklah mempunyai ilmu; siapa yang berkehendakkan kedua-duanya maka hendaklah ia mempunyai ilmu’
Riwayat muslim

Di dalam Al-quran ada menyebut

… katakanlah: adakah sama orang yang berilmu pengetahuan dengan orang yang tidak berilmu pengetahuan? Hanya orang yang menerima peringatan ialah orang yang berakal” [Surah az-zumar: ayat 9]

Secara umumnya ilmu diketegorikan kepada dua: ilmu fardu ain dan ilmu fardu kifayah. Ilmu fardu ain lebih menjurus kepada perhubungan secara langsung antara manusia dengan Allah s.w.t. Ilmu tersebut mengajar dan membimbing kita untuk melaksanakan kewajipan dan amalan pengabdian seorang hamba kepada Allah s.w.t secara mutlak.
Sebagai seorang yang beragama Islam, kita wajib mempelajari ilmu fardu ain yang terdiri daripada ilmu Akidah, Syariah dan Akhlak. Ketiga-tiga bidang ilmu ini penting kerana merupakan asas untuk menanam akidah dan keimanan dalam hati dan jiwa untuk melahirkan insan yang baik dan sentiasa mengharapkan keredaan Allah s.w.t. Walaubagaimanapun, setiap muslim juga wajib menuntut ilmu fardu kifayah sebagai pelengkap kepada ilmu fardu ain yang bertujuan untuk memakmurkan alam ciptaan Allah s.w.t. Tuntutan untuk menguasai kedua-dua kategori bidang ilmu tersebut dipertanggungjawabk an ke atas kita untuk mencapai kesejahteraan hidup individu, membangun masyarakat dan negara.

You don’t want to act like a ‘verbal’ ninja. Your heart, however, kept pounding hard; you can feel the blood-rush. Before you explode, better kick the ‘fella’ responsible for the whole mess (imaginary). Gosh!! Just another day of looking at the same rubbish- and yes, I mean real dirty rubbish.

Cleanliness is much more than outward appearance. It is an all-embracing ethic of sound living. It is also a state of mind and heart that reflects our morals and worship.

Islam places great emphasis on cleanliness, in both its physical and spiritual aspects. On the physical side, Islam requires the Muslim to clean his body, his clothes, his house, and the whole community, and he is rewarded by Allah for doing so. While people generally consider cleanliness a desirable attribute, Islam insists on it, making it an indispensable fundamental of the faith. A muslim is required to be pure morally and spiritually as well as physically. Through the Qur’an and Sunnah Islam requires the sincere believer to sanitize and purify his entire way of life. In the Qur’an, Allah commends those who are accustomed to cleanliness:

“Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.” (2: 222)

bismillahirrahmanirrahim, subhanallah, amma ba’d,

assalamualaikum warahmatullah to all,

as of today, let’s talk about us muslims and the things that we seem to be taking for granted. how much do we understand the implication of embracing Islam in all aspects of our lives? i guess many can utter that Islam is ad-deen, meaning a way of life but not all of us know the real meaning behind it. it’s a cliche in today’s  world. a cliche that brings no real meaning to one’s heart that is clouded by his own ignorance. blind when he sees. i so hope that all of us are at least loved by Allah enough to be pardoned from being one of those who have hearts but don’t understand with them, those who have eyes but don’t see with them, and those who have ears but listen not with them. blind indeed many muslims are as i speak today.

dear valued readers,

there will always be a group of us who will rise up to injustice and there will always be amongst us a group that strives to deliver the message of Islam to the world, muslims and non-muslims alike. how much do you think is the price of our religious brotherhood if we can only think of finding differences between ourselves. common grounds seem to falter and break just because of small disputes or clashes of ideas. blinded by our differences i say we are. even as i’m writing now and while you are reading this, differences in opinions and views will not cease to arise. does that mean that we forgo our brotherhood which is of a much bigger importance just because of our small disagreement. blind indeed we are.

alas, humans’ desires are always endless, without horizon some can say. if and only if we can channel that trait to our hearts and minds, i personally think then we will be able to save our pitiful souls. ironic at times when i ponder and reflect on the matters happening around me, wars here and there, israelis killing palestinians and otherwise. they share a common blood running in their veins from our beloved prophet abraham and all mankind from adam and eve peace be upon all of them. yet, we fight and so true are Allah’s words in suratul baqarah, verse 36: “Then the Satan made them slip therefrom (Paradise), and got them out from that in which they were, We said: ‘Go you down, all, with enmity between yourselves. On Earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time.’”

okay, that’s a macroscopic view. let’s scale down by a number of degrees to ourselves and our surroundings. how much as of today you look into the mirror and see only yourself and no one else in the reflection? of course if you’re alone, you’ll be only looking back at you yourself. try for once, look at yourself from another perspective. look at you and trace back through the history of your own self, stop not there but go farther beyond your ancestry to the days you think Allah created our father Adam of earth, still soulless. Imagine ok. now, question ourselves: what have i done so far that creates enmity between my brothers and me? i was once made of earth and Allah honoured me above Allah’s angels. my, oh my, aren’t we too arrogant that we dare to go against Allah’s order: “The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islam), so make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.”, suratul hujurat, verse 10. if we think we are right, the other part also does. look back at the ayah, remember above all our differences, we remain intact, inseparable by a bond much holier and purer than ourselves. remember that Allah ask us to clear our disputes because of the mere differences we have and put Allah first in mind, fearing Allah enough to conquer our ego and hope for the best as much for our brothers as we hope for ourselves. you do not believe till you love for your brother what you love for yourself.

i call upon all of us to ponder upon the message i’m trying to convey today and start to think more deeply while we are living our lives and interacting with others, lest we may cause trouble and therefore, invite Allah’s anger upon us. Oh Allah, grant us your love and redho for we seek nothing else except for your affection. grant us iman for only then we can see with the eyes you gave us and be blind not.

wallahua’lam. ma’assalamah. till next time.
