Cagu

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Assalamualaikum rakan-rakan semua!

Lama juga saya sudah tidak mengupdate blog. Sejujurnya, sudah 4 hari berturut-turut saya berada di rumah. Selalu sahaja online tetapi tiada idea untuk menulis.

Ingin saya berkongsi dengan anda mengenai cagu atau cengkam kuku. Inilah yang sedang saya alami sekarang.

Cagu ni adalah satu penyakit berlaku di ibu jari kaki. Pada awalnya, ia memang amat-amat sakit. Ibu jari kaki saya membengkak dan berdenyut-denyut (rasa macam tak boleh jejak kaki kat tanah. sakit sangat). Beberapa hari lepas tu, ia mengeluarkan nanah yang amat-amat busuk. Pada mulanya saya ingat ada bangkai tikus mati dalam rumah saya. Rupanya tidak sama sekali.

Kata orang tua2 cagu ni mungkin disebabkan:
1. Salah potong kuku. Baru saya tahu kuku hendaklah dipotong lurus seperti pahat, bukannya bentuk bulat/ U (tapi tak cantik la)
2. kasut sempit
3. kena hempap something yang berat hingga kuku tu memakan/mencengkam isi jari kaki hingga bernanah
4. penjagaan kebersihan kaki yang kurang baik

Untuk saya, mungkin disebabkan no 1 atau 4.  No 4 sebab saya rasa semenjak 3 minggu bekerja ni, saya sering membiarkan kaki saya lembab di dalam kasut terutama lepas berwudhuk. Kedudukan surau dan tempat berwudhuk yang kurang strategik (terbuka) menyebabkan saya lebih selesa berwudhuk di tandas yang bersih berdekatan tempat saya bekerja. Lantas menyarung saja kaki yang agak lembap di dalam kasut. Mungkin tanpa pengetahuan saya, kuman-kuman sedang sibuk membiak di ibu jari kaki saya sebagaimana saya sibuk merework pvc sheet tu.

Saya hanya merawatnya menggunakan dettol secara berkala dan makan ubat-ubatan yang doktor berikan (antibiotik, ubat tahan sakit & prolase). Pertama kali saya dapat habiskan kesemua biji ubat tahan sakit! Tidak dilupakan, rawatan tradisional menggunakan inai-tumbuk-sendiri. Ia boleh megecutkan jari anda.

Langkah-langkah awal merawat cagu

Ohh.. esok saya start semula kerja. Saya hanya berharap yang baik-baik saja berlaku. Semoga kesakitan ni menghapuskan dosa-dosa saya yang banyak telah saya buat selama saya hidup ini amin..


itik pun tau salah kalau merungut.manusia..manusia..


p/s: nampak sopan pula menggunakan 'saya' instead of 'aku'. hehe.. saya nak jadi baik macam kawan-kawan saya. Bersopan-santun adalah salah satu ciri-ciri yang patut dicontohi. Mari praktikkan personaliti insan soleh wa solehah!

What can you do in one minute?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..


I got this article from my new network friend- budak kecik redha

~credit to him/she (fine, i don't know the gender) and Sumaiyah for inviting me to join  (click here readers!)

~just feeling like to share with you guys

~may Allah bless all of us..

Question: In our offices and workplaces we can hardly find time to do acts of worship and righteous deeds. What can we do in the short time that we can find in our day? How can we make use of it?

Answer: Praise be to Allaah.



***

Time is of the essence, it is too precious to be wasted or neglected. The wise person is the one who pays attention to his time and does not treat it as a vessel to be filled with cheap things and vain talk. Instead, he limits it to worthy efforts and righteous deeds that please Allaah and benefit other people. Every minute of a person’s life carries the potential to raise his own status and to make his people happier, little by little.

If you are keen to attain the highest position, and bring the most happiness to your people, then forget about relaxing and keep away from empty amusement.

In one minute you can do a lot of good and earn much reward. In just one minute, by giving in charity, studying, memorizing, or striving to do good deeds, you can make sure that this minute of your life is not wasted. One minute may be recorded in your book of good deeds if you know how to make the most of it and take care of it:

Strive to make the most of each minute

If you forget it, you forget the most important thing, the truth.

There follows a list of things that can be done in one minute, by the permission of Allaah:

1. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Faatihah 3 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Some scholars said that the reward for reading al-Faatihah is more than 600 hasanahs, so if you read it 3 times you will, by the permission of Allaah, gain more than 1800 hasanahs – all of that in one minute.

2. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Ikhlaas (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) 20 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Reciting it once is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’aan. If you read it 20 times it is equivalent to reading the Qur’aan 7 times. If you read it 20 times in one minute each day, you will have read it 600 times in one month, and 7200 times in one year, which will be equal in reward to reading the Qur’aan 2400 times.

3. You can read one page of the Book of Allaah in one minute.

4. You can memorize a short aayah of the Book of Allaah in one minute.

5. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allaah alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things) – 20 times. The reward for saying this is like freeing 8 slaves for the sake of Allaah from among the sons of Ismaa’eel.

6. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah) 100 times. Whoever says that in one day will be forgiven for his sins even if they are like the foam of the sea.

7. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaah il-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allaah, glory be to Allaah the Almighty) 50 times. These are two phrases which are light on the lips, heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.

8. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When I say ‘Subhaan Allaah, wa’l-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaah ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah, and Allaah is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Narrated by Muslim). In one minute, you can say all of these words more than 18 times. These words are the most beloved words to Allaah, the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds, as was narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth.

9. In one minute you can say, Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah (there is no strength and no power except with Allaah) more than 40 times. This is one of the treasures of Paradise, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. They are a means of putting up with difficulties and of aiming to achieve great things.

10. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah approximately 50 times. This is the greatest word, for it is the word of Tawheed, the good word, the word that stands firm. If these are the last words of a person, he will enter Paradise, and there are other reports which indicate how great these words are.

11. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdih, ‘adada khalqihi, wa ridaa nafsihi, wazinata ‘arshihi, wa midaada kalimaatihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah, as much as the number of His creation, as much as pleases Him, as much as the weight of His Throne and as much as the ink of His words) more than 15 times. This words bring many more times the reward for other forms of tasbeeh and dhikr, as was reported in saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

12. In one minute you can seek the forgiveness of Allaah more than 100 times by saying “Astaghfir-Allaah (I seek the forgiveness of Allaah). The virtues of seeking forgiveness are no secret, for it is the means of attaining forgiveness and entering Paradise, and it is the means of being granted a good life, increasing one’s strength, warding off disasters, making things easier, bringing rain and increasing one’s wealth and children.

13. You can say a few brief and concise words in one minute, and Allaah may bring about some good through them that you could never imagine.

14. In one minute you can send blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) 50 times by saying Sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (May Allaah bless him and grant him peace). In return Allaah will send blessings upon you 500 hundred times because one blessing brings ten like it.

15. In one minute you can motivate your heart to give thanks to Allaah, to love Him, to fear Him, to put hope in Him, to long for Him, and thus travel through the stages of ‘uboodiyyah (total enslavement to Allaah). You could do this when you are lying on your bed or walking in the street.

16. In one minute you can read more than two pages of a useful book that is easy to understand.

17. In one minute you can uphold the ties of kinship by calling a relative on the phone.

18. You can raise your hands and recite any du’aa’ you wish from the books of du’aa’, in one minute.

19. You can say salaams to and shake hands with a number of people in one minute.

20. You can forbid an evil action in one minute.

21. You can enjoin something good in one minute.

22. You can offer sincere advice to a brother in one minute.

23. You can console someone who is depressed in one minute.

24. You can remove something harmful from the road in one minute.

25. Making the most of one minute motivates you to make the most of other periods that would otherwise be wasted.

Al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

When people go to sleep, I let my tears flow, and I recite a verse of the most eloquent poetry

Is it not a waste that nights go by and I do not increase in knowledge, yet this time is counted as part of my life?

Finally, the more sincere you are towards Allaah and the more aware you are of Him, the greater will be your reward and the more your hasanaat will increase.

Note that most of these actions will not cost you anything; they do not require tahaarah (purity) and they will not tire you out or take much effort. On the contrary, you can do them whilst you are walking, or in your car, or lying down, or standing, or sitting, or waiting for somebody.

These actions are also among the greatest means of attaining happiness, expanding the chest (i.e., bringing relief and joy) and removing stress and anxiety. May Allaah help us and you to do that which He loves and which pleases Him. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

blackout!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Bekerja sebagai operator kilang bukanlah kerja mudah seperti yang dijangka. Anda memerlukan ketahanan fizikal agar tidak jatuh pengsan apabila bekerja 12 jam tanpa henti (cehh.. rehat 3 kali sebenarnya) atau jatuh kelopak mata gara-gara tertidur apabila bekerja di shift malam. Anda juga memerlukan kemantapan mental untuk sabar menyiapkan segala tugasan yang diberikan.

cerita pagi tadi.

Lebih kurang pukul 1.35 pagi , selepas rehat 35 minit dengan nasi hujan panas (sumbangan ikhlas pihak HR company di hari Jumaat yang mulia) aku telah di serabutkan dengan berpuluh-puluh 'sheet' (setiap satu mempunyai 56 blok-blok  access card) untuk di rework.

Untuk pengetahuan rakan-rakan, aku ditugaskan menjaga machine ATS tak-berapa-nak-betul 1.1 seorang diri. Kerjanya mudah saja. Menunggu machine tu mengeluarkan sekeping 'pvc sheet' kemudian menggunakan alat 'buzzer' yang mengeluarkan bunyi cengkerik untuk check setiap 56 blok-blok tu. Bunyi cengkerik akan keluar bila wire betul-betul di bonding dengan module ( atau bahasa kita, chip) oleh machine ATS tak-berapa-nak-betul 1.1 (again). Jika tidak, aku perlu melekatkan kapton tape( sebagai tanda ia perlu di rework) dan aku perlu pergi bonding manually!

p/s: terms yang digunakan mungkin kurang tepat.


Ambil senyap-senyap..

Dan semalam pagi tadi, machine tersebut mencabar kesabaran aku. Aku amat serabut dan gelabah kerana terlalu banyak sheet yang pending gara-gara machine ATS tak-berapa-nak-betul 1.1 banyak mengeluarkan sheet yang rosak dan perlu di bonding  sendirian berhad. Hanya yang mampu, bekerja pantas semaksimum yang boleh dan mengharapkan miracle dari Allah. Untuk menenangkan hati, aku pun berzikir. Teringat seorang ustaz/ motivator (tak ingat siapa) cakap kalau dalam keadaan stress atau tekanan sebut,

la haula wala kuwwata illa billahil aliyilazim..

Tiba-tiba, pukul 3 lebih tadi BLACKOUT!!!

Dan perkataan yang pertama keluar dari mulut aku..

Alhamdulillah..

Gembira tak terkata. Terlupa seketika perkataan takut berada dalam kilang yang gelap gelita. Sebab apa? Aku dah terlepas dari beban kerja yang menyerabutkan itu. Lebih kurang 3.50 pagi macam tu, kami diarahkan pulang. Walaupun tak dapat full gaji untuk hari tu, tapi tak kesah pun. Yang penting dapat balik awal =)

Nikmatnya bila sampai di rumah. Betapa banyaknya nikmat yang Allah kasi dekat aku. Syukur alhamdulillah..

Tetiba teringat saudara Islam kita di Palestin. Kesiannya bila fikirkan nasib mereka di sana di bawah kekejaman Israel Laknatullah. Dengan nikmat kesenangan dan keselesaan kita di Malaysia ni, aku memohon rakan-rakan yang membaca dan diri aku sendiri agar tidak putus-putus berdoa untuk mereka di sana. Mungkin kita bukanlah manusia yang terpilih untuk berjihad di sana. Namun dengan doa dan usaha insya Allah zaman kegemilangan Islam akan dijulang semula satu hari nanti.

Apa yang boleh diusaha? Pada fikiranku, mungkin salah satunya sebagai pelajar kita perlu belajar bersungguh-sungguh. Gunakan segala kemudahan yang ada untuk dapatkan ilmu yang bermanfaat.  Jadi expert dalam bidang yang kita ambil. Tak kesahlah bidang apa sekalipun. Insya Allah kita boleh guna pakai untuk menaikkan Islam semula.

Kenapa perlu berjudi?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

KUALA LUMPUR, 4 Jun: Gerakan Rakyat Membantah Judi (GMJ) menyeru seluruh rakyat turun ke pelancaran Kempen Memansuhkan Judi esok, 5 Jun sebagai sokongan kepada bantahan terhadap tindakan kerajaan meluluskan lesen judi bola sepak Piala Dunia 2010 bermula bulan ini.

Setiausaha GMJ, Suhaizan Kaiat (gambar) memberitahu, pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat, badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) dan ulama akan berhimpun di hadapan kompleks membeli belah Sogo, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman di ibu negara jam 2 petang esok.

Menurutnya, GMJ yang baru ditubuhkan 1 Jun Lalu mengadakan kempen berkenaan bertujuan mendesak kerajaan menarik balik lesen judi yang telah diluluskan.

Selepas pelancaran kempen ini, GMJ akan memulakan kempen mereka dimulakan dengan penyerahan memorandum kepada ahli-ahli Parlimen pada Isnin, 7 Jun ini sempena persidangan Dewan Rakyat.
Pada 23 Jun pula, GMJ akan menyerahkan memorandum sama kepada Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Manakala road show ke serata negeri berjalan sepanjang masa dan akan bermula 15 Jun ini sehingga hari kemuncak bantahan 3 Julai ini.

Ianya bermula di Wilayah Persekutuan, Selangor (18 Jun), Terengganu (19 Jun), Kedah dan Pulau Pinang (22 Jun), Perak (23 Jun), Perlis (26 Jun), Johor (27 Jun), Melaka, Pahang dan Negeri Sembilan (29 Jun).

"Kemuncak kepada kempen ini adalah Himpunan 100 Ribu Rakyat Malaysia Membantah Judi Sukan pada Sabtu 3  Julai depan jam 2 petang di Kuala Lumpur untuk menyerahkan memorandum kepada Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong," katanya dalam satu kenyataan kepada Harakahdaily.

Justeru, Suhaizan sekali lagi menyeru seluruh rakyat yang prihatin dalam isu ini akan bersama-sama memberikan sokongan terhadap kempen tersebut.

Ini kerana, ujarnya kelulusan lesen judi akan mendatangkan impak negatif kepada rakyat, bukan mendatangkan kebaikan kepada negara seperti yang dicangankan kerajaan.
Kesannya termasuklah keruntuhkan mutu sukan negara, mendorong rakyat bergantung kepada nasib, menurunkan produktiviti negara, meruntuhkan institusi keluarga, meningkatkan gejala sosial, meningkatkan kadar jenayah, meningkatkan beban hutang rakyat, meruntuhkan ekonomi negara dan menyalahi dasar-dasar semua agama.


ohh..negaraku yang tercinta
memilih cara mudah lagi haram daripada memikirkan cara mempertingkatkan produktiviti masyarakat
inikah prinsip human capital yang disarankan?
