Senyum adalah Ibadah

[furansizuka]

Kasihilah sesamamu seperti kamu mengasihi dirimu sendiri

[han2]

Treat others only in ways that you're willing to be treated in the same exact situation

To apply it, you'd imagine yourself in the exact place of the other person on the receiving end of the action. If you act in a given way toward another, and yet are unwilling to be treated that way in the same circumstances, then you violate the rule.

Furan, I agreed with you!

"Love your neighbours like you love yourself", means you wouldn't dare to hurt them because you also won't anybody to hurt you. That's JESUS MESSAGE, the only message that covers the 10 commanments from the old testement.

PS; neighbour here means everybody earound you, country or anybody in this world.

This is a beautiful hadith which i love.. taken from hadith Qudsi..

When i do sin and then remember this Hadith it calms me down.

On the Authority of Anas (May Allah be pleased with him),, Who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (May the blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) Say:

Allah the Almighty said:

O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, i shall forgive you for what you have done, and i shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, i would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.

It was related by At-Tirmidhi . Its chain of authorities is sound.

so just reminding my fellow muslims there.. dont ever stop from asking Allah for forgiveness... but also try as much to abstain from commiting any sins.

"Tidak ada paksaan dalam hal Agama..."
There's no forcing (coercive acts) in the term of Religion...

Im not sure what u r trying to say there... but the translation of the meaning of Al-Ikhlas is

Allah states in the Qur’aan a verse which means:

Say: He is Allah, the One! Allah, the One Who doesn’t need anything but everything else needs Him! He begetteth not nor was begotten. And there is none comparable unto Him

[Qur'an Al-Ikhlas:1-4]

"Ketika engkau berjalan mendekati Allah, Allah berlari untuk mendekapmu.."
When you walking towards God, God is running towards you...
(hmm...., I forgot the source, but it came from Islamic sufism book I guess...)

yes.. i know which one u are referring to.

i will try to find it for you.. Insha Allah

Isn't Mohammed believe in Isa?

[purnomor]

Try to look at problems from the opposing viewpoint

[cathy_taryoto]

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment"

so spread the love people..

Isn't Mohammed believe in Isa?

Yes Prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him) did believe in prophet Isa( Jesus){ peace be upon him}.. as the Prophet of Allah and not as the son of God.


muslim believe that Isa ( peace be upon him) was only a prophet of Allah and not the son of God.

Before Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) there were many messengers and prophets of Allah ... and these prophets such as prophet Noah, Abraham, Jesus, Moses, David, Solomon, Ishmael, Issac, Lut and many more messengers and prophets ( may peace be upon them all) were also teaching the same monotheistic teachings which is ...To Believe in Allah alone as the Creator and Sustainer of all that exist and to make NO partners in worship with Allah... and to submit completely to Allah.

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was the final messenger from amongst the chain of prophets... and was confirming what the pervious prophets said before about not making partners with Allah.

and as muslims we must love and respect all the prophet of Allah... there is even a chapter in the Quran named 'Mary' or in arabic ' Mariam'...in this chapter it talked about the miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him)..

here is the link of the video which give the tranlastion of the meaning of Surah 'Mariam'

i have this piece of paper always under my kevlar that i wrote...

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in the right paths for His names sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Psalm 23:1-4

[han2]

Undertake difficult tasks by approaching what is easy in them;
Do great deeds by focusing on their minute aspects.

All difficulties under heaven arise from what is easy,
All great things under heaven arise from what is minute.

One who thinks everything is easy will encounter much difficulty.
