Summary -Don’t forward emails blindly

I again received this forwarded email yesterday. Actually, this has been around for quite a long time, and it is my belief that the email is very dangerous to muslim’s faith and it must stop. I will explain why. I have attached the full version of the email in the Additional Ideas section. (Why? because I want to keep the entry short, I was hoping you read my opinion on the matter first, I don’t want it to be further forwarded… blindly)

However, to sum the email up… There is this person who claim he had seen Rasulullah in his dream, and Rasulullah gave him a few points, asking him to convey them to all muslim around the world. And the emails are followed by a warning, that bad things will happen to those who choose not to forward and that good things will happen to those who did.

My explanation on why the email is very dangerous

• The last “wahyu” from Allah (Surah AlMaidah Ayat 3) generally translates – “Pada Hari ini telah Kusempurnakan untuk kamu agamamu, dan telah Ku cukupkan kepadamu nikmatKu, dan telah Ku redhai Islam itu sebagai cara hidup mu”. Saidina Abu Bakar actually cried after the verse is read. Because he knew that Rasulullah’s responsibility to teach Islam had been completed, and it is a sign that Rasulullah had reached the end of his life.

• So if Rasulullah appeared in the dream of this person, telling him to distribute the message, don’t you think that this shows that his work /responsibility is not yet finished?

• Even when he is still alive, obviously there are people who did not accept his teaching. Does it mention anywhere in the hadis or HOly Quran that these people were doomed with unfortunate events? No… so why is the email if not forwarded will then bring bad luck?

• The major portion of the email is actually describing the fate of those who received the email, whether good or bad. And I believe, those who forwarded it, did so not because he/she wanted to convey the message of Islam, but because of fear of being cursed. Am I right? Is that the foundation of Islamic teaching? “Berdakwah” out of fear or to gain rewards.

Conclusion – Don’t believe everything in emails. Most of the time there are hoaxes. Think first before you forward it to your friends. This particular email, actually is very dangerous to our faith.

Summary – Tips : Never go to bed angry

First of all, on behalf of my dear wife, I would like to say thank you for all the wishes. All those kind words and wishes are actually prayer (Doa). And we pray to Allah that we will be given the strength for the years to come and the same blessing if not more is given to you.

We are just one year old. Very new if compared to some of you. There’s so much to learn about marriage. And I sincerely hope that maybe you guys can throw in any tips on how to live a happier life as husband n wife.. Tips from bachelors /bachelorettes are also equally welcomed. I have met some of my bachelor friends who actually offered great tips. Maybe you read it somewhere or from your observation of your parents. Do share… however insignificant you may think it is. As for myself, I’ve seen a movie that actually gave a great tips to happy marriage.

Never Go To Bed Angry At Each Other

Argument in a marriage is very common. If you never come across an argument in your marriage, something is very wrong. So why we cannot continue the argument tomorrow? Simply because sleeping is when our subconcious mind works the best. Have you ever wonder about a problem until you sleep, and you found out that you know the solution exactly tomorrow. Or how dreams can actually show your innermost desire and guide you.

Subconcious mind is a very powerful tool. However like any other powerful tools, if used wrongly, it can be very dangerous. You see, if we go to bed, hating each other with the argument unsolved. The mind will start trying to solve the problem. Since the solution actually requires the two of you to sit down and talk, the mind will not be able to solve it. And thus, it will revert to the next method which is to write it down somewhere for the mind to work on another day.

Subconciously your hate and anger to your spouse will be recorded, and accumulate with more arguments. It will be no surprise, if one day, the both of you will see that there is no more love, only hate. Which is why you should never go to bed angry at each other. Solve everything before hand

If you know any other tips, do share ya. Let’s learn from each other.

Hey it’s Sunday… One of my hobby is to read comics in the newspaper. And collect those that immediately make me laugh. Like this one… It’s published in The Star, on 16th September 2006 if I am not mistaken.

Hopefully I can grow old with the Mrs like this couple.. Amiin

Opal (wife) is sewing, when Earl (husband) approaches her

Earl – Opal, where’s that measuring tape of yours?
Opal – It’s right here

Earl take the measuring tape and start “measuring” his waist

Opal – Wow. I’m impressed
Opal – You’re finally paying attention to what that extra weight of yours is doing to your health and appearance. I’m proud of you!

Earl – Don’t be. I just couldn’t find my belt

🙂 🙂 🙂

Yes, one of the happiest moment for me in a day is when I see the mrs smile.

Today (18/8) exactly one year ago at about 9.00 pm, is maybe the happiest moment in my life. The mrs and I were joined together as husband and wife. In other words.. today is our first anniversary as husband and wife. 🙂

So do excuse today’s entry as this is a tribute to the love of my life, my wife. Hopefully she will read this tomorrow…

Hm I got stuck here for a long time, trying to find any words to describe how special you are to me. Typing and deleting paragraphs countless times simply because I think there are better ways to show how much I appreciate you.

When the truth is, there are certain things in life which description is beyonds any words, with beauty.. no colors in the whole universe can replace.

And by now I have given up trying to write my feeling for you. This is simply what I want you to know.

You really are the most amazing thing ever happened to me. My life changed when you came into my life.. if before I sleep very late at night, surfing the web, now no more etc. And what amazed me is that, I gladly make the change for you. I will surrender my life gladly if you’d just ask.

And that’s not all, it amazes me even MORE when your life had changed exactly one year ago, and you gladly make the changes for me. No words can describe how I appreciate all the sacrifice you made. I praised Allah for this. It’s like being handed the heaven itself. Seriously.

To my dearest wife… love is like the sand in a glass filled with water. If no one is stirring, the sand will settle at the bottom of the glass. Hopefully, both of us will keep stirring the water in the glass. It’s not an easy job.. but no body will stir it if not us.

I love you my dear… Happy anniversary
