You Need to be more careful about what you Ask Allah For

You need to be more careful about what you ask Allah for,   and even more careful about what you say,   because in the Qur'an, your words,   they're not just sounds, they're a form of dua.   This is why Allah Himself says that every word that you say   is recorded by the angels,   and it'll become manifest on the outside.   Why? Because it has an effect on your nafs. And Allah Himself says that He will not change the condition of a people,   till they change their nafsu.  And you look at the story of Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام  when he said to his father,   I see stars, moon, and the sun,   they're all prostrating to me.   And that's exactly what happened at the end of the whole story. His own father says that I fear that the wolf is gonna be eating him,   and his sons come back to him saying what?   The same exact words that he said.   And when Yusuf عليه السلام said that   " jail is more beloved t...

ASSET vs LIABILITY

ASSET vs LIABILITY

Son:  Dad, may I speak with you?
Dad: Go ahead.
Son: Among all my classmates, I am the only one without a car. It is embarrassing.
Dad: What do you want me to do?
Son: I need a car. I don't want to feel odd.
Dad: Do you have a particular car in mind?
Son: Yes dad (smiling)
Dad: How much?
Son: 500,000 pesos
Dad: I will give you the money on one condition.
Son: What is the condition?
Dad: You will not use the money to buy a car but invest it. If you make enough profit from the investment, you can go ahead and buy the car.
Son: Deal.

Then, the father gave him a cheque of 500,000 pesos. The son cashed the cheque and invested it in obedience to the verbal agreement that he had with his father.

Some months later, the father asked the son how he was faring. The son responded that his business was improving. The father left him. 

When it was exactly a year after he gave him the money, the father asked him to show him how far the business has gone. The son readily agreed and the following discussion took place:

Dad: From this I can see that you have made a lot of money.
Son: Yes dad.
Dad: Do you still remember our agreement?
Son: Yes
Dad: What is it?
Son: We agreed that I should invest the money and buy the car from the profit.
Dad: Why have you not bought the car?
Son: I don't need the car again. I want to invest more.
Dad: Good. You have learnt the lessons that I wanted to teach you.
- You didn't really need the car, you just wanted to feel among. That would have placed extra financial obligations on you. It wasn't an asset then; but a liability.
- Two, it is very important for you to invest in your future before living like a king.
Son: Thanks dad.

Then the father gave him the keys of the latest model of that car.

MORALS: 
1. Always invest first before you start living the way you want.

2. What you see as a need now may become a want if you can take a little time to get over your feelings.

3. Try to be able to distinguish between an asset and a liability so that what you see as an asset today will not become a liability to you tomorrow.

Kenapa Doa Masih Tidak Termakbul

"Kenapa Doa Masih Tidak Termakbul" Hari ini abam betul bersyukur kerana Allah menggerakkan hati abam dan kaki abam untuk masuk kedalam masjid setelah selesai solat maghrib.. Dalam tgh mencari ruang solat didalam perkarangan masjid, abam terdengar suara bayan didalam bahasa Nusantara.. Bayan yang disampaikan oleh Ustadz Ariful Bahri....  Ustadz Ariful Bahri adalah pendakwah yang berasal Indonesia yang menjadi pengisi kajian resmi di Masjid Nabawi Sejak dari tahun 2019 lagi...  Satu perkara yang sangat menarik perhatian abam.. apabila disebutkan bahawa, antara sebab doa kita tidak dimakbulkan oleh Allah.. Bukan kerana Allah tidak mendengar, tetapi kerana kita masih menyimpan banyak dosa sesama manusia, dimana masih ada dosa menyakiti hati orang, menzalimi, mengambil hak orang lain. Selagi perkara ini tidak diselesaikan, doa kita tidak akan dikhabulkan.. malah kita akan diazab...  Perkara yang kedua yang sangat penting ialah tentang cara kita berdoa... Kita banyak berdoa, t...
