Ask it! Are my intentions alright?

Waking up in the morning, gotta make my prayer

Am I really gonna' make it, when there is no one there?

Taking trips to the masjid (mosque), even when it's tough

Am I going for the sake of Allah? Am I showing off?

Gonna' get me the knowledge, gonna study Islam

Am I going just to build my ego? so they call me “the Man”?

Does it matter if the people respect me, when its not for Allah?

When I know anytime He can take me, without one real du'a (prayer)

Does it matter if they say I'm a big shot?

when I get no reward for my deeds

And I'm dragged on the Day of Resurrection

Cause of the folks that I wanted to please

Plus I know that Allah has the power

To raise me up in their eyes if it need be

I should always make my intentions, for my Lord, Allah completely

[Chorous]

Are my Intentions alright?

Am I doing for Allah?

When I'm looking deep, deep down inside

Do I have the right niyyah?

Wearing thoubs with a kufi, kufi

Miswaks leather socks like the old days

Am I trying to follow the Prophet? or am I seeking praise?

Giving talks on Islam to people

I'd be quoting Hadith and Qur'an

Am I speaking so they like how I'm speaking? and they say I'm “the Bomb”

Donating to Islamic centers, giving money so the Deen can grow

Am I giving for the sake of Allah? or is it for show?

Many times I have found my intentions

Are not what I want them to be

I know I start on the right direction

But Shaitan starts talking to me

And I forget that without my niyyah, I'm just wasting my time

My intentions cannot bring the reward, when they're out of line

So I pray to Allah to help me, to do everything for Him only

Doesn't matter if the people despise me

Cause with Allah I can never be lonely

Ya Allah, accept this niyyah

Coming from young Muslims striving to be believers

So on the day, our deeds You'll measure. Know we only did this strictly for Your pleasure, Your pleasure

Your mercy, Your ajur (reward), Your Jannah (heaven), forever and ever and ever

And reward us for those who listen

Heeded to the message, changing their condition

And know that everything up until this point I've ever written

I submit as my repentance

And if its blessings You're sending my way

I beg You hold them to the judgement day

so maybe in Jannah you can look back and say...it was a lovely day, a lovely, a lovely day, yes a lovely day

Are my intentions, alright, am I doing for Allah

When I am looking deep deep down inside, do I have the right niyyah (intention)?

[Chorous]

Are my Intentions alright?

Am I doing for Allah?

When I'm looking deep, deep down inside

Do I have the right niyyah?

Random mumbling:

Sometimes, YOU are the problem of yourself. Isn't it?

And ....

Usually, YOU are the one that will solve it too! ;)

Well, YOU are not so bad.. !

[ as after all, gain or loss.. it's you that will get it right??]

Just keep trying to DO better..

as only Allah can make us BE better...

InsyaAllah ^_^

Protesters have once again taken to the streets of the country's second city - Alexandria.

Al Jazeera's Jamal Elshayyal reports.

Berdegar-degar saya mendengar kenyataan 'sepihak' di media arus perdana mengatakan revolusi rakyat Mesir adalah satu perkarayang MERUGIKAN ?dan mengatakan revolusi itu adalah perkara yang tidak BAIK.
Allah itu lebih hebat perancanganNya..dan mereka yang memperjuangkan (mengadakan revolusi) ini lebih bijak dan cemerlang dari 'sepihak' itu..
selepas 18 hari, Hosni Mubarak meletak jawatandan hari ini, rakyat mesir keluar membersihkan Alexendria.
Lihat. Ia suatu yang hebat bukan.Subhanallah.. :)
ps: Revolusi rakyat Mesir adalah peringatan untuk pemimpin Malaysia.. :)

" Kami mendoakan kejayaan intifadha rakyat Mesir"

[HARAKAH DAILY]

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 Jan: PAS meminta pemerintahan BN segera membuka ruang demokrasi yang adil di Malaysia dengan membebaskan SPR dan media daripada cengkaman parti pemerintah seterusnya bersedia untuk berhadapan dengan Pakatan Rakyat di padang yang sama rata.

"Kita tidak mahu situasi tegang sedemikian (di Mesir dan Tunisia sekarang) berlaku di negara ini," kata Presiden PAS, Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang dalam kenyataannya bagi mengulas apa yang berlaku di Tunisia dan Mesir sekarang.

"Tetapi dunia membuktikan ketegangan di antara rakyat dan pemerintah itu berpunca daripada sikap pemerintah itu sendiri," kata Abdul Hadi.

Rentetan dari perkembangan kebangkitan kuasa rakyat di Asia Barat secara umumnya dan di Mesir khususnya di waktu ini, Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) mendesak semua kerajaan yang memerintah di waktu ini di Asia Barat agar segera menghentikan segala bentuk tindakan ganas kepada rakyat mereka sendiri yang terlibat dengan perhimpunan tunjuk perasaan.

Di Mesir, katanya, umum mengetahui bahawa demokrasi telah dicabul teruk dan pentadbiran Presiden Hosni Mubarak mesti bertanggungjawab terhadap pencabulan tersebut dan bersedia berhadapan dengan desakan rakyat supaya beliau meletakkan jawatan.

"Bagi pihak PAS, kami menyatakan solidariti bersama dengan rakyat Mesir yang bangkit menuntut keadilan setelah sekian lama berada dalam penindasan. Kami mendoakan kejayaan intifadha rakyat Mesir yang belum pernah disaksikan dalam sejarah Mesir moden ini.

"PAS juga mendesak supaya dibebaskan segera kesemua tahanan politik yang telah dipenjarakan sejak sekian lama di Mesir yang dihukum menerusi perbicaraan yang tidak adil," katanya.

Katanya, dunia khususnya OIC dan PBB didesak supaya memberikan tekanan kepada Presiden Hosni Mubarak dan kerajaannya yang telah melanggar hak asasi manusia apabila telah menyebabkan kecederaan kepada lebih seribu rakyat Mesir yang berhimpun dan juga lapan daripadanya yang terkorban.

"Penyelesaian terhadap kemelut ini boleh berlaku dengan dibukanya pintu demokrasi yang tulen dan diadakan pilihanraya yang telus di Mesir," katanya.

Kepada kerajaan Barisan Nasional di Malaysia, perlu diperingatkan supaya mengambil iktibar terhadap apa yang berlaku di Tunisia dan Mesir pada hari ini.

Apabila pemerintah mencabul amalan demokrasi, menyeleweng kewangan negara dan bersifat zalim terhadap rakyat, maka kebangkitan rakyat tidak dapat dibendung lagi.

Maka pemerintahan BN, katanya, perlu segera membuka ruang demokrasi yang adil di Malaysia dengan membebaskan SPR dan media daripada cengkaman parti pemerintah seterusnya bersedia untuk berhadapan dengan Pakatan Rakyat di padang yang sama rata.

"Kita tidak mahu situasi tegang sedemikian berlaku di negara ini. Tetapi dunia membuktikan ketegangan di antara rakyat dan pemerintah itu berpunca daripada sikap pemerintah itu sendiri," katanya.

[UTUSAN]

KAHERAH 29 Jan. - Beribu-ribu penunjuk perasaan antikerajaan kembali membanjiri jalan-jalan di tengah ibu negara Mesir ini hari ini, melaungkan slogan mengutuk Presiden Hosni Mubarak dan menyerang polis, hanya beberapa jam selepas beliau memecat Kabinet dan menjanjikan pembaharuan tetapi enggan meletakkan jawatan.

Tindakan penunjuk perasaan memenuhi Dataran Tahrir, tengah Kaherah dan bertempur dengan polis buat hari kelima berturut-turut menunjukkan ucapan Mubarak di televisyen sejurus selepas tengah malam tadi gagal meredakan kemarahan rakyat yang sudah bosan dengan pemerintahan autokratik beliau serta kemiskinan, pengangguran dan rasuah di negara ini.

Mubarak, 82, tampil di kaca televisyen selepas beliau mengerahkan askar dan kereta kebal ke ibu negara ini dan beberapa bandar lain dalam usaha untuk membendung ledakan protes jalanan menentang pemerintahannya selama 30 tahun.

Beberapa kereta kebal ditempatkan di Dataran Tahrir tetapi askar tidak campur tangan dalam protes di situ hari ini.

Penunjuk perasaan membaling batu ke arah polis yang cuba masuk ke dataran itu dan mereka membalas dengan tembakan gas pemedih mata dan peluru getah.

"Apa yang kami mahu ialah Mubarak dan bukan sahaja kerajaannya meletakkan jawatan," kata seorang penunjuk perasaan, Mohammed Mahmoud.

Sumber perubatan dan keselamatan berkata, 35 orang terbunuh sejak protes meletus pada Selasa lalu, termasuk 10 anggota polis, manakala 1,500 penduduk awam dan 1,000 anggota polis cedera.

Beberapa bahagian Kaherah kelihatan seperti zon perang, dengan sampah sarap bertaburan di jalan raya dan asap serta bau gas pemedih mata memenuhi udara.

Mubarak menyeru dialog di peringkat kebangsaan dilancarkan bagi mencegah kekacauan berterusan selepas penunjuk perasaan semalam membakar ibu pejabat parti politik beliau di tebing Sungai Nil serta banyak bangunan lain.

"Bukan dengan membakar dan menyerang harta milik persendirian dan awam kita mencapai aspirasi Mesir dan anak watannya, tetapi aspirasi itu akan dicapai menerusi dialog, kesedaran dan usaha," kata Mubarak dalam ucapan di televisyen, penampilan pertama beliau di mata umum sejak protes bermula pada Selasa lalu.

Kekacauan yang belum pernah berlaku sebelum ini mencetuskan gelombang kejutan di seluruh Asia Barat, di mana pemimpin autokratik lain mungkin dicabar dan turut menyebabkan kejatuhan pasaran kewangan global semalam. - Reuters/Agensi

Quran & Productivity

Are your deeds wasted?

"Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): “Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds? “Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds.” (Al-Kahf, Chapter #18, Verse #103-104)

Whenever I read these verses, I cannot help but feel fear in my heart and wonder whether am I one of the greatest losers, those whose efforts have been wasted in this life whilst I think that I am doing good. It is truly worth taking a moment to stop and think about.

Sometimes when you’re productive and you think you’re doing really well, a number diseases can enter your heart and ruin your good deeds, these include: riyaa, insincerity, boastfulness, jealously, arrogance, and pride. As ProductiveMuslims we should live between the hope of acceptance and fear of rejection so keeping us always active and vigilant of the state of our hearts and never feel ‘comfortable’ that what we do is enough. As we know that faith and pride of good actions can never coexist in the heart of the believer.

Seerah & Productivity

Beautiful character is the key

Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): “While I was walking with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who was wearing a Najrani outer garment with a thick hem, a bedouin came upon the Prophet and pulled his garment so violently that I could recognize the impress of the hem of the garment on his shoulder, caused by the violence of his pull. Then the bedouin said: “Order for me something from Allah’s Fortune which you have.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to him and smiled, and ordered that a gift be given to him.” (Book #53, Hadith #377)

Can you imagine this situation: a man comes from behind you and pulls you by your coat and demands charity from you! What would be your reaction? Shouting, abuse, possibly a punch or two?! I don’t blame you. But look at how the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) effortlessly smiled and ordered that a gift be given to him instead of behaving in a vulgar manner.

Look at the strength of his emotional control, not jumping to conclusions or abuse, but naturally smiling and giving the man what he asked for – what beautiful and exemplary conduct!

When you are a ProductiveMuslim, caring to give more than taking, loving the people around you, cleaning your heart from hatred and envy, should be the natural reaction. I know it’s difficult, and we have a long way to go to reach that level, but there’s no time like the present to change!

Productivity Lessons from Ja’far Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)

"The best of men towards us was Ja’far"

Ja’far Ibn Abi Talib was the eldest brother of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). He was taken into care by his uncle Al-Abbas and lived independently after his marriage. Having accepted Islam at the hands of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), Ja’far faced increasing persecution from Quraysh. He was given permission to migrate to Abyssinia along with a small group of Muslims.

In an attempt to have the Muslims returned, Quraysh sent representatives to An-Najashi, the King of Abyssinia. Ja’far spoke with great eloquence and defended the Muslim’s position. Touched by the beauty of Islam, An-Najashi himself became Muslim secretly. Ja’far spent 10 years in Abyssinia before returning to Madinah right after the conquest of Khaybar.

He was selected as second in command in the battle of Mu’tah which was the first encounter between the Muslims and the Roman empire. The Romans eventually fled, but not before Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred after taking lead.

Lessons:

1. Be strong in faith

2. Speak with eloquence and wisdom in dawah

3. Seek the best in character

4. Take leadership and responsibility

5. Remember victory in good deeds is only by Allah
