Hargailah Isteri Anda

Mulianya seorang isteri disisi Allah...
Dan betapa berharganya wanita yang bergelar isteri ini pada keluarga, suami
dan anak-anak

Rugi dan binasalah suami-suami yang tidak menghargai isteri mereka kerana
isteri inilah yang akan membantu mereka di akhirat kelak.
Biarlah buruk mana isteri anda, sayangilah mereka.........

Beruntungnya seorang wanita yg ada rahim ini ialah dia bekerja dengan
Tuhan... jadi 'kilang ' manusia..

Tiap-tiap bulan dia diberi cuti bergaji penuh....
7 sehingga 15 hari sebulan dia tak wajib sembahyang tetapi Allah anggap
diwaktu itu sembahyang terbaik darinya.

Cuti bersalin juga sehingga 60 hari,
Bila dah bersalin tu, susukanlah anak..jgn takut "kendur" atau menggelebeh
pulak..
Si suami pulak, jgn la berebut dgn anak utk menyusu pulak....

Cuti ini bukan cuti suka hati tapi cuti yang Allah beri sebab dia bekerja
dengan Allah ,

Tapi bila dah habis cuti tu.....layan lah suami.."offer" lah pada suami,
Nabi bersabda : berjimak dgn isteri itu pahala..jangan buat deekkk jeee,
Jangan buat alasan itu dan ini pulak....ingat tu si isteri yee!!! Kata nak
pahala lebih...

Orang lelaki tak ada cuti dari sembahyang.. ...
sembahyang wajib baginya dari baligh sehingga habis nyawanya...
 
Satu lagi berita gembira untuk wanita,
Sepanjang dia mengandung Allah sentiasa mengampunkan dosanya, Lahir saja
bayi seluruh dosanya habis..

Inilah nikmat Tuhan beri kepada wanita,
jadi kenapa perlu takut nak beranak?   

Marilah kita pegang kepada tali Allah.
Seandainya wanita itu mati sewaktu bersalin, itu dianggap mati syahid, Allah
izinkan terus masuk Syurga.
Untuk orang bukan Islam, dia tak dapat masuk Syurga tapi Allah beri
kelonggaran siksa kubur.

Untuk peringatan semua wanita yang bersuami
seluruh kebaikan suaminya, semuanya isteri dapat pahala tetapi dosa-dosa
suami dia tak tanggung.

Di akhirat nanti seorang wanita solehah akan
terperanjat dengan pahala extra yang banyak dia
terima diatas segala kebaikan suaminya yang tak disedari.
Contohnya bila dia redho suaminya pergi berjemaah di masjid
atau ke majlis ilmu, bersedekah.. ganjaran Alah keatasnya jua..

Bila dia lihat suaminya tengah terhegeh-hegeh di titian
Sirat dia tak nak masuk syuga tanpa suaminya,
jadi dia pun memberi pahalanya kepada suami untuk lepas masuk syurga. Di
dunia lagi, kalau suami dalam kesusahan
isteri boleh bantu tambah lagi di akhirat.

Kalau seorang isteri asyik merungut,mulut selalu muncung terhadap suami dia
tak akan dapat pahala extra ini.

Manakala suami pula mempunyai tugas-tugas berat didalam dan diluar rumah,
segala dosa-dosa anak isteri yang tak dididik dia akan tanggung ditambah
lagi dengan dosa-dosa yang lain..

Dinasihatkan kepada semua wanita supaya faham akan syariat Allah agar tidak
derhaka denganNya.

Sesungguhnya wanita dijadikan daripada rusuk kiri lelaki.. Dia bukan dicipta
dari kepala untuk menjadi ketuanya,juga bukan dari tapak  kaki untuk
dipijak-pijak.

Dia dicipta dari sebelah rusuk kiri lelaki supaya dia hampir kepada
kamu(lelaki) ,dari bawah lengan untuk mempertahankannya, dekat dengan hati
untuk disayangi.
 
Woman was made from the rib of man,
She was not created from his head to top him,
Nor from his feet to be stepped upon,
She was made from his side to be close to him,
>From beneath his arm to be protected by him,
Near his heart to be loved by him.
 
"Wahai Tuhan...
ku tak layak ke syurgamu ...
namun tak pula aku sanggup ke nerakamu...
kamilah hamba yang mengharap belas darimu ...

"Ya Allah...
jadikanlah kami hamba2 mu yang bertaqwa ..
ampunkan dosa2 kami, kedua  ibubapa kami,
dosa semua umat2 islam yang masih hidup mahupun yang telah meninggal
dunia".......


Kubur itu gelap, cahayanya ialah Laa Ilaaha IllalLah.

Jika diletakkan langit dan bumi di sebelah dacing, dan kalimah ini di
sebelah yang satu lagi, pasti lebih berat lagi nilai kalimah 'Laa ilaaha
illalLah' ini.

Rasulullah saw. bersabda (mafhumnya): "Wahai manusia! Ucaplah  'Laa ilaaha
illalLah', kamu pasti berjaya!"

Exercising in the Morning Will Increase your metabolism





Setting aside time during your morning routine for exercise yields great benefits. People who exercise in the a.m. will find themselves much more energized throughout the day, as well as an increased metabolism. It is important, however, to choose your morning exercise routine carefully--losing too much sleep (not getting your recommended 6-8 hours of beauty zzz's)--can actually harm you. Sleep is an important part of maintaining your healthy, high energy, calorie-burning body. With that said, here are our morning exercise suggestions that you can try at home. Just 15 minutes each morning can lead to a healthier, happier you!
Pilates Exercises. Why? Pilates builds your core strength, which is extremely important. Core strength has to do with strengthening and lengthening your spine. That's right, Pilates can actually make you grow taller, because the types of exercises used in Pilates create long, lean muscle, rather than bulkier muscle mass.



Exercise 1: Arm Reach and Pull
This is a great warm-up exercise which creates shoulder stability. You will begin standing up perfectly straight, then reach your arms out in front of you so that they become parallel with the floor, keeping your shoulders relaxed down and your arms coming straight out from your shoulders. Breathe in and out, each time further relaxing your shoulders down while maintaining your posture. This is a great move to get you started with your Pilates exercise routine and you can repeat three to five times. Great posture is essential to all Pilates moves and is ultimately the result of following a Pilates exercise routine.


Exercise 2: The Plank
In this exercise, you want to form yourself in a push up position, being sure that you are a straight line from your neck to your feet. Your arms should be a straight line from your shoulder to the floor and your feet shouldn't be flat--you should be on your toes.
Holding yourself in this position for one minute a day helps create stability and build core strength. With no prior training, this exercise can be difficult. Work your way up to the full minute by starting with 10-15 second planks at first. If even this is causing too much upper body strain, try the modified plank by coming down to your elbows rather than your hands.





Exercise 3: One Leg Teaser
This is a little more difficult, but is designed to flatten your abs! Begin by lying flat on your back, with your hands at your sides, palms up, and your legs bent at 45 degrees with feet flat on your mat. Raise one leg off the mat, creating a straight line without moving your knees. Tuck your chin to your chest and begin reaching for extended foot, slowly; maintaining your balance and posture. Remember to use your core muscles, this exercise is not led by upper body strength. (If you have trouble finding your core, take a deep breath in and exhale fully, bringing your belly button toward your spine and holding it there. Maintain this throughout all Pilates exercises, or you will not see the benefits.) When you reach your arms to the tip of your toes, pause, then roll back down, slowly, ending where you started, with your hands over your head. Repeat five times on each leg.
For beginners, leave both feet on the mat. Roll up and tap your knees, pause, then roll back to start position. It can take several weeks before you will be ready to try the full teaser exercise.
Note: In Pilates, some of the best results come from stretching out your muscles after working them. When your muscles are heated up, stretching them will result in much greater flexibility. So, in between workouts, lie flat on your back and form a straight line with your body, from the tips of your fingers to the end of your toes and feel yourself getting a great stretch!
Stability Ball Exercises. Why? Because to be quite honest, the stability ball is a ton of fun. Working out feels more like playing when you were a kid.



Exercise 1: Hip Extension
Lie down on the ground and put your heels on top of the ball, at hip width apart. Slowly raise your hips off the ground to form a straight line, leaving your arms lying flat on the floor. Hold yourself in this position and feel your muscles working. Then, lower and repeat five times. If you feel confident, you can start raising one leg at a time off the stability ball, balancing with only one heel for support on the ball.



Exercise 2: Exercise Ball Crunch
Lean your mid to lower back on the ball and put your hands behind your head (fingertips lightly touching your head--your arms should not be doing the work in this exercise), and pull your body forward, using your abs, into a crunch. Try to be sure you are in the center of the ball and keep the ball stable. Repeat ten reps of ten.


Exercise 3: Bouncing!
Sit with your butt on the very middle of the ball. Be sure you feel stable and the ball isn't leaning toward one side. Put your arms straight out in front off you, and your legs hip width apart, feet flat on the floor. Begin bouncing slowly without moving your leg positioning. After feeling out and being sure you have good balance, start opening and closing your legs at each alternating bounce. Continue this exercise for one minute, or a little longer if you're having too much fun to stop!
Enjoy these exercises every morning you can! Remember, results don't come immediately.

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?




During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said,
"How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It
depends. Is that your husband?"
In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"
Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's
weighing on your mind.
Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with
your spouse / partner . You anticipated their call, wanted their
touch,
and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit).
Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a
completely natural and spontaneous experience.
You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in
love... Because it's happening TO YOU .
People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the
imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing
there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU
Falling in love is easy It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But
after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love
fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship Slowly but surely,
phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always
welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies , instead
of
being cute, drive you nuts.
The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you
think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between
the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry
subsequent stage.
At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry
the right person?"
And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once
had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else.
This is when marriages breakdown People blame their spouse for their
unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.
Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is
the most obvious.
But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive
TV,
or abusive substances.
But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It
lies within it.
I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else.
You could.
And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a
few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S
LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER
just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love.. You have to "make"
it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression "the labor of
love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy And most importantly,
it
takes WISDOM . You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage
work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific
things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your
marriage.
Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there
are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically
stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage
stronger.
It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the
results are predictable... you can "make"love
Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.
Remember this always :
"God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who
you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."

Kangkung - health hazard




I'm sorry I do not have a copy of it in English. It actually narrates how a young boy died after eating the kangkung vegetable. He had gastro-enteritis (diarrhoea/vomiting) and was admitted in hospital. Post mortem revealed that there were leeches in his intestines which has multiplied many times. The leech found its way through the stem of the kangkong vegetable. The stem is hollow and is normally cooked together with the leaves.

One of the precautions we can take is to slice the stems into two and wash it well before cooking.

ADAKAH ANDA PENGGEMAR KANGKUNG?

Jika anda penggemar kangkung, tidak kira apa jenis kangkung, petis kangkung, kangkung cos, dll yang berkaitan dengan kangkung, mungkin cerita ini dapat menjadi pertimbangan bagi anda.

Pada suatu hari di klinik yang terkenal, semua doktor kebingungan kerana ada seorang anak kecil yang menderita sakit perut. Anak itu dibawa ke klinik oleh orang tuanya setelah 2 hari menderita diarhea . Sudah bermacam ubat sakit perut yang diberikan kepada anak itu, namun diarhea nya tidak sembuh.

Di klinik, kedua orang tua anak tersebut ditanya oleh doktor, makanan apa yang dimakan oleh anak tersebut selama 2 hari ini. Orang tua anak itu kebingungan, kerana sejak anaknya diarrhea , anak tersebut tak lalu nak mahu makan, dia hanya minum susu, itu pun akan muntah semula.

Setelah dikaji, ternyata sebelum menderita diarhea, malam tersebut anak itu makan kangkung cos di restoran oleh orang tuanya. Doktor segera melakukan xray, ternyata dalami usus anak tersebut telah berkembang biak lintah dengan anaknya yang kecil-kecil.

Doktor surrender dan menyatakan tidak sanggup mengambil tindakan medical apapun.

Akhirnya anak kecil malang itupun meninggal dunia setelah dikaji, ternyata lintah itu sebelumnya berada di dalam batang kangkung yang besar.. Memang, untuk penggemar kangkung cos yang paling enak adalah batangnya. Lintah yang berada di dalam batang kangkung itu tidak akan mati walau dimasak selama manapun, apa lagi untuk kangkung cos proses memasak tidak terlalu lama untuk menghasilkan rasa kangkung yang sedap. Lintah hanya akan mati jika dibakar.

Di dalam usus anak tadi, lintah yang hanya dalam 1 ke 2 hari berkembang biak dengan cepatnya kerana menghuni didalam tubuh dan terus menghisap darah yang ada, doktor juga menjadi bingung, bagaimana mematikan/membersih kan lintah yang telah sangat banyak tersebut dari dalam usus anak malang itu.Jujur, sejak mendengar cerita itu, kesukaan saya terhadap kangkung menjadi berkurang, boleh dibilang sudah 1 bulan ini saya sama sekali tidak makan kangkung dalam bentuk apa pun, bukan kerana menjadi paranoid, tapi bagi Saya lebih baik menjaga segala kemungkinan yang ada, masih banyak sayur lain yang dapat kita makan dengan meminimumkan segala kemungkinan "lintah" yang terselip didalamnya.

Semoga cerita ini dapat menjadi pertimbangan untuk kita semua sebelum masak/makan kangkung.
