Hari Asyura (10 Muharram)

Can't help but feel that people should know bout these stuffs~ other than forwarding emails, better that i jz put this in my blog...~

MUHARAM adalah bulan pertama dalam tahun Islam (Hijrah). Sebelum Rasulullah berhijrah dari Makkah ke Yathrib, kiraan bulan dibuat mengikut tahun Masihi. Hijrah Rasulullah memberi kesan besar kepada Islam sama ada dari sudut dakwah Rasulullah, ukhuwwah dan syiar Islam itu sendiri.

Pada asasnya, Muharam membawa maksud 'diharamkan' atau 'dipantang', iaitu Allah SWT melarang melakukan peperangan atau pertumpahan darah. Namun demikian larangan ini ditamatkan setelah pembukaan Makkah (Al Baqarah: 91). Sejak pemansuhan itu, umat Islam boleh melaksanakan tugas dan ibadat harian tanpa terikat lagi dengan larangan berkenaan.

Peristiwa-peristiwa penting:

* 1 Muharam - Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab mula membuat penetapan kiraan bulan dalam Hijrah.
* 10 Muharam - Dinamakan juga hari 'Asyura'. Pada hari itu banyak terjadi peristiwa penting yang mencerminkan kegemilangan bagi perjuangan yang gigih dan tabah bagi menegakkan keadilah dan kebenaran.

Pada 10 Muharam juga telah berlaku:

* Nabi Adam bertaubat kepada Allah.
* Nabi Idris diangkat oleh Allah ke langit.
* Nabi Nuh diselamatkan Allah keluar dari perahunya sesudah bumi ditenggelamkan selama enam bulan.
* Nabi Ibrahim diselamatkan Allah dari pembakaran Raja Namrud.
* Allah menurunkan kitab Taurat kepada Nabi Musa.
* Nabi Yusuf dibebaskan dari penjara.
* Penglihatan Nabi Yaakob yang kabur dipulihkkan Allah.
* Nabi Ayub dipulihkan Allah dari penyakit kulit yang dideritainya.
* Nabi Yunus selamat keluar dari perut ikan paus setelah berada di dalamnya selama 40 hari 40 malam.
* Laut Merah terbelah dua untuk menyelamatkan Nabi Musa dan pengikutnya dari tentera Firaun.
* Kesalahan Nabi Daud diampuni Allah.
* Nabi Sulaiman dikurniakan Allah kerajaan yang besar.
* Hari pertama Allah menciptakan alam.
* Hari Pertama Allah menurunkan rahmat.
* Hari pertama Allah menurunkan hujan.
* Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
* Allah menjadikan Luh Mahfuz.
* Allah menjadikan alam.
* Allah menjadikan Malaikat Jibril.
* Nabi Isa diangkat ke langit.

My favourite violin piece so far~ m still learning to play like a pro~ ^^;

Another day of pampering..~

Today most of the ladies in the house did a lil bit of pampering~ =P who doesnt love to indulge themselves in pure leisure of being spoilt~ =) hahaha..

I had my violin lesson this morning like any other Fridays. It was an intense one~ haha.. actually nt tooo intense, its just the fact that i realised that im really bad in counting~ lol.. there's no way im saying im bad in Maths, trust me i did a very good job in getting the grades.. lolzzz.. ok okaaay~ enough~ wats with the 'hidung tinggi'.. hahaha.. anyway, im bad in simple counting~ it jz didnt stick to me to count 1,2,3,4 when I'm busy producing a masterpiece. =P

MASTERPIECE ( all my brain was bz functioning other PRIORITIES to even bother with simple maths!!!!) =} :-

1. My right hand was busy moving up & down the strings of the violin.

2. Right fingers busy balancing the bow to encircle the edge of the bow.

3. Then, my left fingers were frantically pressing & juggling among those super thin strings!! (which was damn painful =s)

4. Not to forget producing the VIBRATO!!! *gurgurgurgurgur~ =P

So that's quite a lot of job for the brain to work in one go right...~ oh yeaa~

5. My eyes!!! haha.. were busy sight-reading the notes on the pieces.

SO you seeeeeeeeeeeeeee~ n then kana suruh count lagi 1,2,3,4 to get the rythme right~ aiyooooo~ my teacher was frustrated coz we had to repeat a few times & i kept saying.. "AHHH!!!! I GOT IT~!!!" skali salah juaaa~ muahahahaha... =D my baaaad~ sorry laaaa~ i dun do counting when i play~ its nt cooooooooool~ ceeeeh~

After 3omins of drilling my fingers on the strings, i was off to Essesuals for my appointment~ kan Berniee~ ur the coolesttt!!!! *do the shakira dance~ =P Had my hair fixed nicely~ =P again~

it took him nearly 5 hrs to finish!!!

Me, Kanim & Laila then went to Zen SPA in Serusop for a manicure & pedicure~ skaliiiii~ FULLY-BOOKED~ so we booked it early tmrw morning~ gilaaa~ i dunno if we cn wake up early.

We left Serusop for a nice teabreak at Vintage Rose, Kiulap. Chatted like over everything then we left ard 6pm. =P well at least K.nurul n mommy had their nails done coz they booked earlier. =)

On Health : Price of happiness??

haha... a pleasant good morning everyone~ hehe.. =P i got this title from one of the topic news on health~ haha.. quite an interesting topic to talk a bout.. lolz... =P

Money buy you u happiness?? could that be true?

OF COURSE!!! hahaha..who would say no to money~ we can buy stuffs that we desired rytee~ lolzz.. hmmm~ well, if you think about it; it does but only for a short while.. no?

take it from experience~ right now~ my 'i want' lists goes on & on & ooooooooooon~ ipod, an LV bag, hmmm~ clothes, shoesss~ basic necessities for young ladies out there righttt~

and the tangible stuffs that i want might be granted~ yeaa~ you feel like soaring sky high~ jumping up & down with happiness.. m i right??? but the thing is, this feeling of happiness usually doesnt last~ its only for a short while then it just disappeared~ m i right??

coz~

HAPPINESS..............

> "yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, OMG!!!! im soooo happy~ this is what i want!!!!"

> then comes the part of showing off to people.

> then still showing off~ coz its always the BRANDED STUFFS that we want.

****************after one month later*************

THAT DOESN'T LAST

> duiiiiii~ i got the stuffs sudah~ bangas already~~~~~

> 'tangible stuffs' got left alone at home to collect dust... or being tossed ard like its worthless.

> i want NEW STUFFSSSS...

> then the list of 'i want' never stops......

BUT HAS NO END TO IT.

okay, so this is from my side of the story.

What of other happiness?? Honestly, in the end all i seek was the company & attention from the people that i love & care about, & who also cares bout me. becoz my 'stuffs' can't do that.. hahaha... well even they got the attention from people~ ironic?? haha..

hmmm~ being alone with loads of $$$$? even they use that to buy friendship~ if that's what bring them happiness~

buuuuuuuuuuuuut~ no matter how we try to twist the words around~ coz im getting confuse myself.. =P it all points to wanting to be with someone who cares about us, to be around people. no matter how much money u have or want. we all just settle with the love from people. moreover, it u try to twist it again~ u got what u wanted was also from the people that loves u~ rightttt~

But what of the people who can't even fulfill anything from their own personal list of 'i want'.. people who has money enough for daily necessities??? an instinct to survive n live to see another day~ y?? coz they wanna live with meanings, finding a reason to live & i tell you they are quite content as long as they have someone they care about. n also $$$$ to live well~ =P

In conclusion -----> Surrounded by people you care & vice versa can only bring you happiness; the love from family, friends and even loverss.. ;P and not to forget the love for our holy god, Allah SWT, prophet Muhammad SAW & the voice of Islam close to our heart..

but there's a catch!!! hahaha... yea yeaaa~ we go in too deep~ love is important coz u'd be a miserable person without love~

HAPPINESS = BEING WITH LOVE ONESSS + HAVING LOADS OF $$$$$$$$$

am i right??? hahahaha.. that's my opinion anyway~ =P

cheersss people~ n always be happy~ no matter where you are, you always have people that cares for you~ thats what counts.. ;)
