Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)

The messenger of Allah

Do you really know our prophet ??!! Do you comprehend how we all love, respect and revere him? Do you realize the fact that we all are ready to sacrifice ourselves, our mothers and fathers for his sake?
If you don't know about Prophet Muhammad , let me guide you to have that honour.

A mercy to the worlds

He was orphaned at an early age and then raised by his uncle Abu Talib. As Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. He never worshiped idols and never drank wine.

He was a combination of the best social attributes. He was an exemplary man of weighty mind and faultless insight. He had a vivid mind and a pure nature that enabled him to comprehend life and people. He was favoured with modesty, virtuous behaviour and graceful manners. He was the most obliging to his compatriots, the most honest in his talk and the mildest in temper. He was the most gentle-hearted, chaste, hospitable. He was the most truthful and the best to keep covenant. He had been given the title ' Al-'Ameen (trustworthy) by all Makkah's people before he became a prophet.

At the age of 40, while engaged in one such meditative retreat, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) received his first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Qur'an. When he began to proclaim the message to others, the Makkans rejected him. He and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution.

When Prophet Muhammad and his followers returned to Makkah, after 10 years away from homeland, they forgave their enemies.

Whenever he was given the opportunity to choose between two affairs, he always chose the easiest and the most convenient. But if he was certain that it was sinful, he would be as far as he could from it. He had never avenged himself; but when the sanctity of Allah was violated he would. That would be for Allah's not for himself. He was the last one to get angry and the first to be satisfied.

By the time the Prophet died at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia had embraced Islam. Within a century after his death, Islam had spread as far west as Spain and as far east as China . It was clear that the message was not limited to Arabs; it was for the whole of humanity. In the Qur'an, Allah describes Muhammad as (a mercy to the worlds).

HOW TRUE IT IS...Another year has passed

And we're all a little older.    
Last summer felt hotter
And winter seems much colder.
I rack my brain for happy thoughts,
To put down on my pad,
But lots of things,
That come to mind
Just make me kind of sad.
There was a time not long ago
When life was quite a blast.
 
Now I fully understand
About "Living in the Past".
We used to go to friends homes,
Football games and lunches.
Now we go to therapy, to hospitals,
And after-funeral brunches.
We used to have hangovers,
From parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches
And sleep the night away.
We used to go out dining,
And couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,
Come home and take a pill.
We used to often travel
To places near and far.
Now we get backaches
From riding in the car.
used to go out shopping
For new clothing at the Mall
But, now we never bother...
All the sizes are too small.
That, my friend is how life is,
And now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up...

Let's Look At “Money.”
What Is It?

1. Money is a reward you receive for the service you render.
The more valuable the service, the greater your monetary reward. Thinking
of ways you can be of greater service will not only help you earn more
money, it will also enable you to grow intellectually and spiritually.

2. Money is just an idea.
The paper you fold and place in your purse or pocket is not money. It is
paper with ink on it. It represents money, but it is not money. Money is
an idea. The earning of money has nothing to do with the paper stuff. It
has to do with consciousness. It has to do with spirit.
I am aware there are books that instruct you on how to manipulate the
market, stocks and people ... they might even help you get money. But,
let me caution you ... where there is no spiritual consciousness as to how
money works ... there is no spiritual strength ... there is no lasting happiness
... and, as a result, there is no real wealth.

3. To accumulate wealth, a person must become very comfortable with the idea of money.
That may sound strange, however most people are not comfortable with the idea of money, which is why they do not have any. The cause of poverty is poverty consciousness. A poverty
consciousness will cause a person to see, hear, smell, think, and feel lack
and limitation. The late Mike Todd said, "Being broke is a temporary situation. Being
poor is a mental state." He was correct. There are wealthy people who lose
every cent they have through a series of mistakes in judgment ... but that
does not make them poor. They will have it all back in a short time because
of their prosperity consciousness.

Feel free to comment on this article. I read most of the comments in this website/blogs.

That's a good one. You might think I'm a little arrogant in saying that since I make a few thousand dollars online, but it's the cold, hard truth. It really isn't hard. Let me prove it to you. Here's how you start making money today.

1.   Pick a topic
2.   Go to Google and search for this... "topic" private label eBook
      (Now some of you can't find a private label eBook on your topic... quit whining and pick a
different topic!)
3.   Buy the private label product (duh!)
4.   Get a ClickBank Account
5.   Add your product to ClickBank
6.   Edit the sales letter of your private label package with your payment link from ClickBank
7.   Get a domain name
8.   Buy from Global Domains International (GDI)'s hosting package for $10.00 a month
9.   Upload the package to your hosting account
10.  Buy traffic from Google AdWords.

      (Oh, I know some of you whining again about not knowing how to use Google AdWords.
       Here's a hint... Read the instructions. They have several hours worth of video tutorials
       there. Here's another hint... you'll never know how to use it unless you try it.)
       http://www.google.com/Adwords/learningcenter/

11.   Get 1000 people to go to your site
12.   Track your conversions
13.   Now tweak the headline
14.   Send another 1000 people to it
15.   Rinse and repeat
16.   To be specific, repeat until you are making $300-$1000 net profit from this one product.

Ok, so some of you may be thinking, "Well what about a website?" Most "private label products come with the product, the salesletter/website and many times even the thank you page or download page after the sale. These products are also digital so, there's no need to ship anything.

'You look but do not see,You hear but do not listen'

Alhamdullillah....I'm a acute migraine sufferer to
the extent of vomitting and becoming imbalance.
Every time it happens, I have to take antacid + synflex.

Antacid is to line the stomach before taking synflex
which is a stronger pain killer than panadol. This is to let you know
the strength of synflex that so much so I have to take antacid prior
to swallowing synflex.

This worries me quite a bit as taking pain killers posed other
health concerns later. I've tried many times to manage it
without swallowing synflex but it got worst. Hence, I'm
resigned to probably take synflex for the rest of my life at that time!

Then, one day one of you have so kindheartedly emailed
me the ways and hows to cure headache by one Singapore Ustazah (sorry can't
remember the name of the sender as well as the Ustazah). The method
includes reading this ayat. I've tried it and Alhamdullillah, being a bad migraine
sufferer, I'm amazed at the miraculous cure! However, you have to
do it repeatedly. For once in my life, I did not need to take synflex! You see, strangely
about migraine sufferer, we can feel when the attacks are coming and when
it starts to ebb away.

So, friends, save this method onto your handphone 'Notes' or 'To-do List' so that when you
have a headache and with strong conviction, do the method, Insyaallah, it will work!

1. Read Al fateha 1 x
2. Read Surah Al Ikhlas 3xs
3. Read Surah Yassin ayat ke 58 'Salamun Qaulan Minrabbirrahim' 3xs
4. Read Selawat 3xs

What I did was, I blew it on my palms and put my palms on my
head for a while. After that, I repeat the whole process again.

I hope by sharing this experience, we become more confident of ayat2
Allah. Another sister has shared her experience below. Please read. This
ayat is really powderful!

True story : My story . My sister was staying with me some months ago. My
sister was bleeding profusely akibat pendarahan dalaman.
Ketika itu jam 10 malam. Panic, apa nak dibuat? Mak, ayah semua nya dah
arwah. Teringatkan Pak Kiai di Rawang yang sering merawat sister itu,
I asked my niece to call and ask him what we should do? He said 'baca ayat 58
dari surah Yassin dan niat sambil meniup kearah duburnya bagi menghentikan pendarahan
tersebut'. So my niece pun buatlah. A few seconds later darah pun berhenti. Oh god,
what a miracle, alhamdullilah, leganya.

From that day onwards, itulah yang saya buat apabila ada orang
yang perlu bantuan menghentikan pendarahan. Yakinlah dgn ayat2 Allah.

Hjh Noor Aini

RAHSIA SURAH YASSIN AYAT KE 58

Barangsiapa yang membaca YAASIN sepenuhnya
dan pada ayat ke 58 surah tersebut 'SALAAMUN QAULAN MIN RABBIN RAHIM'
diulang sebanyak 7 kali untuk 7 niat baikmu, Insya Allah
dengan izin Yang Maha Esa dan Maha Kuasa, semua hajatmu akan dikabulkan.

Jika boleh niatkan sebegini:

1) YA-ALLAH YA-RAHIM, ampunkan dosa-dosaku dan saudara-maraku
2) YA-ALLAH YA-RAHMAN, kurniakan aku isteri,suami,anak-anak yang soleh
dan mencintai Islam
3) YA-ALLAH YA-RAZZAK, kurniakan aku rezeki yang berkat,kerja yang baik
dan berjaya didunia dan akhirat.
4) YA-ALLAH YA-JABBAR, makbulkan hajat penghantar maklumat yang aku dapat ini.
5) YA-ALLAH YA-MUTAQABBIR, jauhkan aku dari sifat khianat dan munafiq dan miskin
6) YA-ALLAH YA-WADUUD, kurniakan aku dan seluruh umat Muhammad yang
beriman; kesihatan zahir batin
7) YA-ALLAH YA-ZALJALA LIWAL IKRAM, makbulkanlah semua hajatku, dan
redhaikanlah aku.....

Pesanan Mustahak Dari Seorang Isteri

Pelukan Ikhlas dari Suami

"Sebelum berumahtangga dulu, tergila-gila dan termimpi-mimpi nak peluk aku. Sekarang dah kahwin, dah ada anak berderet, nak minta peluk pun susah", keluhan ramai isteri. Adakah anda salah seorang daripada mereka. Teruskan membaca artikel ini.

Dalam kita mengejar keperluan hidup dan membenamkan minda kita kepada kerja dan mencari rezeki untuk anak dan isteri tersayang, kaum bapa selalu terlupa satu perkara - kurangnya memberi pelukan manja kepada isteri sebelum pergi dan sesudah pulang dari pekerjaan. Susah sangat ke permintaan ini, wahai kaum Adam?

Keluhan inilah yang sering saya dengar di majlis-majlis seminar dan bengkel yang pernah saya ikuti dan anjurkan. Ianya nampak remeh tetapi perlu dan amat berkesan untuk menjalin perhubungan suami-isteri yang lebih utuh.

Pernah saya terbaca di artikel tertentu bahawa seseorang suami yang mengamalkan memeluk isterinya, maka beliau diberi nikmat dan ganjaran mendapat panjang umur bonus selama lima tahun.

Kan bagus! Pihak suami lebih tenang bila ditempat kerja dan pihak isteri telah dibakar semangatnya untuk terus berkhidmat untuk suami dan keluarga tersayang. Alangkah senangnya tip yang saya sebutkan disini. Pihak suami dapat panjang umur dan isteri lebih menyayangi beliau.

Tetapi kenapakah kegiatan harian sebegini diambil remeh oleh pihak suami dan pihak isteri pula gagal melahirkan keinginan beliau dipeluk suami sebelum pergi dan sesudah pulang dari kerja?

Sifat Kemaafan Yang Tinggi

Setiap pasangan digalakkan oleh pakar motivasi, guru, a'lim ulama' dan kaunselor untuk memaafkan pasangan mereka setiap kali selepas berdoa dan meminta ampun dan berterima kasih atas nikmat yang Allah diberikan sepanjang hari sebelum melelapkan mata sebelum kita menikmati mati sementara iaitu tidur. Selain itu, kita juga diingatkan untuk mengucap syukur dan selawat atas Junjungan Besar Kita, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w untuk nikmat hidup dan keamanan.

Disini, ramai yang gagal berbuat demikian. Jika mereka ada perselisihan faham disiang hari, ianya terbawa-bawa melebihi masa yang telah ditetapkan oleh sistem Allah s.w.t. iaitu 48 jam. Mereka suka mendengar hasutan syaitan yang dikutuk Allah s.w.t. iaitu memperpanjangkan sengketa tersebut melebihi had masa tersebut. Terjadilah perang dingin yang sebenarnya tidak diinginkan oleh kedua-dua belah pihak.

Bayangkan kalau salah seorang pihak suami atau isteri megamalkan sifat mulia iaitu mempunyai sifat kemaafan yang tinggi - kerana dia 'sedar' bahawasanya dia seorang hamba Allah, dia akan mengalah dan perjelaskan (kemahiran komunikasi berkesan yang saya kongsi bersama dalam kursus "Keibubapaan Berjaya Modul Tiga") kehendak dia dengan mulakan ucapan yang keluar dari mulutnya seperti berikut,

“Wahai isteriku tersayang, Abg khilaf dan Abg minta maaf. Tapi Abg kurang jelas apa sebenarnya yang isteri abg inginkan sampai kita tidak bertegur sama sekian lama. Tolong terangkan dan jelaskan kelemahan Abg?”

Teknik disini mempunyai tiga tujuan.

1.   Hasutan syaitan: Buat apa Aku merendah diri?

    Jawapan: Merendah diri tidak bererti kalah. Kita sedar yang kita mudah tersasar dengan hasutan syaitan. Kita nak selamatkan keadaan dengan mengikuti sunnah Allah dan Rasulnya. Kita harus kembali berkata-berkata secara mesra semula dengan isteri kita dalam tempuh 48 jam.

2.   Hasutan syaitan: Bukan salah Aku?

      Jawapan: Betul! Apa yang kita fikirkan benar adalah benar. Itu saja. Tetapi disini bukan mahkamah muktamad! Puncanya adalah penyampai tidak menberi maklumat yang tepat dan penerima maklumat mencanang maklumat yang salah terutama setelah disuntik oleh hasutan syaitan. Perbetulkan persepsi maklumat tersebut dan masalah akan terhurai.

3.   Hasutan syaitan: Malulah Aku kalau aku buka mulut dulu!

      Jawapan: Malu tidak bertempat! Malu hanya untuk Allah, Rasul dan AgamaNya. Kita buat maksiat, kita harus malu pada Allah Ta'ala yang tumpangkan kita dibumi jadianNya. Kita harus malu pada Allah saja bukan manusia. Itulah penyakit yang sedang melanda umat Islam sekarang ini - Malu tidak bertempat!!

Saya bermohon dengan Allah s.w.t dan RasulNya s.a.w agar saya senantiasa dilindungi daripada hasutan syaitan dan iblis yang direjam.

Wallahu' A'lam.

10 Istiqamah Yang Perlu Suami Lakukan

 

      Cinta dan kasih isteri dengan penuh jiwa dan raga sepertimana yang sedang isteri berikan pada anda – (kekala suami mudah terlupa tentang perkara ini)

 

      Jadi seorang pendengar yang berkesan – dengarkan keluhan dan luahan hati isteri dengan bersungguh-sungguh dengan memandang matanya.

 

      Laksanakan tanggungjawab sebagai seorang pendidik kepada isteri dan anak-anak.

 

      Berikan ruang untuk isteri jika dia rapat dengan keluarganya – (ini sering menjadi punca pengtengkaran suami-isteri jika tidak dilakukan dengan bijaksana.)

 

      Galakkan isteri meningkatkan ilmu pengetahuan agama jika anda kurang berkemampuan berbuat demikian dengan ikhlas.

 

      Dengarkan cerita-cerita yang di bawa pulang oleh isteri dari kelas-kelas kuliah yang dihadirinya dengan bersungguh-sungguh.

 

      Ambil berat dari segi kesihatan mental, emosi, dalaman dan luaran isteri. Perihatin dengan bertanya secara terbuka.

 

      Manjakan isteri dengan melancong bersama setahun atau dua tahun sekali. (tak perlu yang mahal-mahal, dalam negeri sendiri pun boleh)

 

      Berusaha untuk rapat dengan ibubapa mertua anda dan berusaha menjadi anak kesayangan mereka. (sentiasa bawa buah tangan bila berkunjung kerumah mereka)

 

      Doakan kesejahteraan isteri dunia dan akhirat setiap kali selepas solat dan lafazkan perkataan “ I love you’, ‘Wa ai ni”, “Ya Jamila” ketika bertemu dengan senyuman yang manis dan menawan.

 

Semoga kekal bahagia hingga ke syurga Jannah. Amin.

Hi Again...

Lukman Yusoff here...

I just got an email about Ellie Drake's and Mike Filsaime's Free Report called - "The Death of NetworkMarketing"

I will admit, like you may also be feeling now, that I thought it was some hyped up offer to get me to buy something...

...Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong.

The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes that Network Marketing may be dying.

When I read this, I immediately thought of sharing it on my blog

The times are changing for us and it would be a shame for you or anyone to not read this report and fail like many will.

I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.

I recommend you take a break from whatever it is you are doing if you can and get access to this report now.

Consider your future success by going here now...

Thanks,

PS - Mike and Ellie say it will only be available for a few days or so, so do not delay...

21722: The meaning of the Basmalah, and the ruling on staring with it when one 
reads Qur'aan 

Question: 

What is the meaning of the Basmalah [the Arabic words Bismillaah il-Rahmaan 
il-Raheem (In the name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)]? 

And what is meant by the words "Iqra' bismi Rabbika" (Read (or recite) in the 
name of your Lord _ [al-`Alaq 96:1 _ interpretation of the meaning])? 


Answer: 

Praise be to Allaah. 

When one says "Bismillaah" when starting to do anything, what that means is, "I 
start this action accompanied by the name of Allaah or seeking help through the 
name of Allaah, seeking blessing thereby. Allaah is God, the beloved and 
worshipped, to Whom hearts turn in love, veneration and obedience (worship). He 
is al-Rahmaan (the Most Gracious) Whose attribute is vast mercy; and al-Raheem 
(the Most Merciful) Who causes that mercy to reach His creation. 

It was said that what this means is: I start this action by mentioning the name 
of Allaah. Ibn Jareer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "Allaaah, may He be 
exalted and His name sanctified, taught His Prophet Muhammad (peace and 
blessings of Allaah be upon him) proper manners by teaching him to mention His 
most beautiful names before all his actions. He commanded him to mention these 
attributes before starting to do anything, and made what He taught him a way for 
all people to follow before starting anything, words to be written at the 
beginning of their letters and books. The apparent meaning of these words 
indicates exactly what is meant by them, and it does not need to be spelled 
out." 

There is something omitted in the phrase "Bismillaah" when it said before 
starting to do something, which may be "I begin my action in the name of 
Allaah," such as saying, "In the name of Allaah I read", "In the name of Allaah 
I write", "In the name of Allaah I ride", and so on. Or, "My starting is in the 
name of Allaah", "My riding is in the name of Allaah", "My reading is in the 
name of Allaah", and so on. It may be that blessing comes by saying the name of 
Allaah first, and that also conveys the meaning of starting only in the name of 
Allaah and not in the name of anyone else. 

The name of Allaah is the greatest name and is so well known as to need no 
explanation; this is a name that belongs exclusively to the Creator and no one 
else. The correct view is that it is derived from the root aliha. He is God 
(ilaah) which means that He is worshipped and is divine. 

Al-Rahmaan is one of the names of Allaah that belong exclusively to Him. It 
means the One Who possesses vast mercy, because this form (fa'laan) is 
indicative of fullness and abundance. It is the most exclusive name of Allaah 
after His name Allaah, just as mercy is His most exclusive attribute. Hence this 
name (al-Rahmaan) often appears after the name Allaah, as in the aayah 
(interpretation of the meaning): 

"Say (O Muhammad): Invoke Allaah or invoke the Most Gracious [al-Rahmaan] 
(Allaah)" [al-Isra' 17:110] 

Al-Raheem is also one of the names of Allaah, and means the One Who causes His 
mercy to reach those whom He wills among His slaves. 

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "Al-Rahmaan refers to an 
attribute that is connected to Allaah and is part of His Essence, and al-Raheem 
refers to a connection with the one to whom mercy is shown. The former is 
adjectival (referring to what He is) and the latter is verbal (referring to what 
He does). The former indicates that mercy is His attribute, and the latter 
indicates that He bestows His mercy upon His creation. If you want to understand 
this then ponder the meaning of these verses (interpretation of the meanings): 

"And He is Ever Most Merciful (Raheem) to the believers"[al-Ahzaab 33:43] 

"Certainly, He is unto them full of kindness, Most Merciful (Raheem)" [al-Tawbah 
9:117] 

The word al-Rahmaan is never used in this context. So we know that the word 
Rahmaan means the One Whose attribute is mercy (rahmah), and al-Raheem is the 
One Who bestows His mercy." 

(Badaa'i' al-Fawaa'id, 1/24). 

Secondly: 

The ruling on saying the Basmalah before reading Qur'aan depends on the 
situation: 

1 _ If it is at the beginning of a soorah _ apart from Soorat Baraa'ah 
(al-Tawbah) _ then the majority of imams have stated that "it is mustahabb to 
recite the Basmalah at the beginning of each soorah, in prayer or otherwise. 
This should be done as a regular practice, and some of them considered that a 
reading of the whole Qur'aan is incomplete if the Basmalah was not recited at 
the beginning of every soorah apart from Baraa'ah (al-Tawbah)." When Imam Ahmad 
(may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about reciting it at the beginning of 
every soorah, he said, "Do not neglect it." 

2 _ If one is starting in the middle of a soorah _ which is the case asked about 
in the question _ then the majority of scholars and Qur'aan readers say that 
there is no reason why one should not start with it. It was said to Imam Ahmad, 
after he had said that it should not be omitted at the beginning of the soorah, 
"What if a person starts reading partway through a soorah?" He said, "There is 
nothing wrong [with saying the Basmalah]." Al-`Abaadi narrated that al-Shaafa'i 
(may Allaah have mercy on him) regarded it as mustahabb (to say the Basmalah, 
when starting to recite) partway through a soorah. 

The Qur'aan readers said: It is certain that one should say the Basmalah if the 
aayah which will be read after saying it contains a pronoun that refers to 
Allaah, such as the verses (interpretation of the meanings): 

"To Him (Alone) is referred the knowledge of the Hour" 

[Fussilat 41:47] 

"And it is He Who produces gardens" 

[al-An'aam 6:141] 

because otherwise, if one recites these verses after seeking refuge with Allaah 
from the Shaytaan, the pronoun may appear to refer to the Shaytaan which would 
convey an abhorrent meaning. 

3 _ Reciting the Basmalah at the beginning of Soorat Baraa'ah (al-Tawbah); there 
is hardly any dispute among the scholars that doing this is makrooh (disliked). 

Saalih said concerning some issues that he narrated from his father Ahmad (may 
Allaah have mercy on him): "I asked him about Soorat al-Anfaal and Soorat 
al-Tawbah, whether it is permissible for a man to separate them by saying 
Bismillaah il-Rahmaan il-Raheem. My father said: `With regard to the Qur'aan, 
reference should be made to what the companions of the Messenger of Allaah 
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) were agreed on; nothing should be 
added to or taken away from that.'" 

4 _ Reciting it partway through Soorat al-Baraa'ah (al-Tawbah). The Qur'aan 
readers differed concerning that, as was narrated by Ibn Hajar al-Haythami in 
al-Fataawa al-Fiqhiyyah (1/52), and he said: "Among the leading Qur'aan readers, 
al-Sakhaawi said that there is no dispute that it is Sunnah to start with the 
Basmalah when one starts reading partway through this soorah [al-Tawbah], as he 
differentiated between starting at the beginning and starting in the middle, but 
his explanation was facile and was refuted by al-Ja'bari from among the Qur'aan 
readers. This is more likely (i.e., the view that it is makrooh is more likely 
to be correct), because the reason why the Basmalah should not be recited at the 
beginning (of al-Tawbah) is that it came with the sword (i.e., the command to 
fight the kuffaar) and it exposes the hypocrites and their foul deeds in a 
manner that is not unlike any other soorah, and this theme is repeated 
throughout Soorat al-Tawbah. Therefore it is not prescribed to recite the 
Basmalah even if one starts reciting partway through this soorah, just as it is 
not prescribed at the beginning, for the reasons we have established." 

See al-Adaab al-Shar'iyyah by Ibn Muflih, 2/325; al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 
13/253; al-Fataawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra, 1/52 

Thirdly: 

With regard to the meaning of the words, "Iqra' bismi Rabbika" (Read (or recite) 
in the name of your Lord _ [al-`Alaq 96:1 _ interpretation of the meaning]), 
Imam Ibn Jareer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "The interpretation of the 
words `Iqra' bismi Rabbika' is that they were addressed to Muhammad (peace and 
blessings of Allaah be upon him), in other words, Read, O Muhammad, by 
mentioning the name of your Lord (Who created)." 

And Allaah knows best.

I have a suitcase for you. In that suitcase there is $1 million in cash. The suitcase is sitting in a building that is about an hour's drive from where you are now.

Here is the deal: All you have to do is get to this building in the next two hours. If you get there before the end of the two hours, I will hand you the suitcase, and you will be a million dollars richer.

There is one catch, however. If you are even one second late, our deal is off, and you will not get a dime. No exceptions! With that in mind, what time would you like to leave?

Most people would respond to that scenario by saying that they would leave right now. Wouldn't you?

So off you go. You jump into your car and start driving for the building. You are excited and are already starting to plan how you are going to spend your million dollars. Then, suddenly, the traffic comes to a complete stop. You turn on the radio and find that there has been a series of freak accidents between you and the building and there is no way to get there!

Now what would you do? Would you give up and go back home? Or would you get out of your car and walk, run, hire a helicopter, or find some other way of getting to the building on time?

Now let's suppose for a minute that you are driving to an appointment at your dentist's office. The traffic again comes to a stop. Amazingly, there have been freak accidents between you and your dentist's office. What would you do then? Probably give up, go home, and reschedule!

What is the difference between these two situations? It all comes down to why. If the why is big enough; the how is usually not a problem. This compelling why is connected to your personal objectives, mission statement, or magnificent obsessions. It is the basis of your motivational support beam. Truly motivated people are able to identify and tap into the power of a compelling why in everything they do.

Do You Know What's The #1 Success Secret Is?
    

How many people do you hear complaining
about their job, where they live, how little money
they have, or how they can never take a vacation?
 
How many times have you heard those same
people, when they hear about someone else who
made a lot of money from an idea, say,

“I could have done that!”

But yet, they didn’t.  And they continue to complain
about where they are in life.

A friend of mine owns a dog grooming business,
and she buys supplies from another pet business
in town.

One day, as she talked to the owner, she found
out that the owner’s husband made liver treats for
dogs—he bought liver at wholesale, cut it into thin
strips, dried it, packaged it, and retailed it to pet
businesses.  Eventually he got a contract with a
distribution company and was doing very well with
 what started out as a simple side business.

My friend was upset when she was talking to me.

She explained that she had had that idea several
months earlier, but didn’t follow through because
she didn’t think it would fit into her business.
 
“I could have done that!” she said, with some
resentment in her voice.

You know what?  She was right.  She could have
“done” that.  She had the idea.  But she didn’t
follow through.

Do you see yet what the number one success secret is?

You must take action!  You must put your ideas
into play.

You will not be successful if you don’t take action.

You can have as many ideas as you want, read as
many books as you want, listen to motivational tapes,
and watch inspirational speakers, but if you do not
 act on what you learn, you will not be successful.

It really is that simple.

If you have a great idea but stand still with it,
nothing will happen.  You have to walk or better yet,
run -- with your idea to make it happen.

After all, who was successful with the dog snack idea?

Was it my friend, who quite possibly had the idea
first, or was it her friend’s husband, who actually
followed through with the idea?

The person who takes action will be successful.

I know that it can be difficult to take action, especially
if you are used to not doing so.  It can be very hard to
break out of the bad habit of inaction. But you have
to do it. Sorry, you have no choice.

But one thing to bare in mind—Taking action by
following the right system will definitely give you
the extra advantage.

To your success,

hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism asmuch as 30%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of
the dieters studied in a University of  Washington study.
