A Basket of Water

Spiritual Story by Unknown

Why do we read Quran, if we can’t understand a single Arabic word? This is a beautiful story:

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the Quran just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur’an do?”

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,” and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless!”

“So you think it is useless?” The old man said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

“Son, that’s what happens when you read the Qur’an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.”

I'm not strong as myself

I'm not strong as Myself

As the cells work in my body

As the heart pumps the bloods to the WHOLE parts of the body

I'm not strong as Myself

As the gifted brain in my head

As the eyes allow me too see ALL around the world

Subhanallah Alhamdulillah Allahuakbar

for ALL those ni'mah for me my Love , my Lord : my ALLAH :)

Keep me STRONG in doing the 'IBADAH for YOU,

Just for YOU, MY LORD,MY ALLAH ...(amin:)

MYSELF (Fully - English Version :)

Islam always emphasizes on the need for us to introspect and correct ourselves rather than busy finding faults of others.

One of the prominent Salaf Scholar Abu Hatim ibn Hibban once said:

"It is obligatory upon the intelligent person not to search for the faults of others, and to busy himself with trying to correct his own faults….Everytime he realizes his own faults, the similar faults of his brother have less importance to him. However, he who busies himself with the faults of others instead of his own, tires himself out, and his heart becomes blind to his own faults, and he begins to make excuses for not correcting his own faults."

Astagfirullah,A stagfirullah, Astagfirullah ("I seek for Allah's forgiveness.-Ameen!")

MYSELF

muhasabah
memperbaiki diri
berusaha betulkan diri

Insan BAIK berpesan :

 "Adalah menjadi suatu kewajipan bagi org yg bijaksana tidak mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain, melainkan dirinya disibukkan untuk memperbaiki kesalahan sendiri. Setiap kali dia menyedari kesalahan sendiri, kesalahan orang lain sudah menjadi tidak lagi penting baginya. Sebaliknya, bagi mereka yang sibuk mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain berbanding dirinya, akan meletihkan dirinya sendiri dan menyebabkan dia buta terhadap kesalahan sendiri, dan membuat pelbagai alasan untuk tidak memperbaiki kesalahannya." (Insan baik itu : Ulama' Abu Hatim bin Hibban)

Astaghfirullahal 'azeem.

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.


~ David Brink




A decision is made with the brain. A commitment is made with the heart. Therefore, a commitment is much deeper and more binding than a decision.


~ Nido Qubein




Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate.


~ Albert Schweitzer




Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person.

It's always too early to quit.

Pencetus terbaik !!!!

Sesungguhnya makanan yang paling hebat untuk minda "menghadam" dengan baik adalah bahan bacaan yang mengembalikan kita kepada kekerdilan diri sebagai hambaNya yang perlu membuat penambahbaikan dari hari ke hari.Sedar akan kekurangan diri , kelemahan diri bukanlah menjadi alasan untuk kita lari dari segala-gala yang telah dihadapi atau bakal dihadapi , tetapi persediaan dan penambahbaikan untuk menghadapinya itu adalah yang terbaik , yang melengkapi ketidaksempurnaan diri.

Sukanya saya di sini untuk berkongsi hasil pembacaan saya daripada artikel ustaz Hasrizal Abdul Jamil. Mungkin sudah beberapa kali saya membaca hadis ini menggunakan mata , tetapi bukan mata hati sebab itulah rasanya tidak menyerap ke dalan diri.Namun , alhamdulillah syukur padaNya kerana memberi peluang kepada saya sekali lagi untuk bertemu jodoh dengan hadis ini lagi dalam blog ustaz .Setiap artikel dalam blog ustaz memberi "effcet : thinking" dalam diri saya, saya mohon padanya untuk memberi "result : action",inshaAllah in positive wayskepada saya untuk mencapai tahap optimum diri sebagai muslim , inshaAllah mukmin,mukminah

Untuk full entry ,bolehlah didapati di blog ustaz.Bagus sangat,semoga saya dan kita semua dapat menghayati , memahami dan berusaha mengaplikasi.inshaAllah.ameen.Maisarah , let make it work!!!=)

Terima kasih buat pencetus terbaik atas perkongsian untuk menjadi yang terbaik.Ustaz Hasrizal Abdul Jamil(Abusaif).Moga ustaz dan keluarga sering mencetuskan yang terbaik!!!ameen.(famili saya juga=)

Sebelum mengakhiri entry ini , marilah sama-sama kita berselawat ke atas baginda yang paling terbaik , pencetus segala-galanya yang terbaik Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

"Allahumma solli 'ala muhammad wa 'ala alihi wosohbihi wa barik wa sallim."

Tiada Tuhan melainkan Allah , Nabi Muhammad rasul Allah.

LAHIR MUSLIM, BIAR HIDUP MUSLIM DAN MATI MUSLIM!!!
