NASA ingenuity


When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity.

To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 degrees celcius.

The Russians used a pencil!

What will happen when we use Allah for God in the English Bible..?




Jesus said: "Allah is greater than I" (John 14:28),


Jesus said the most important commandment is "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our Allah, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your Allah with all your ...heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:29-30)

"I am Allah, and there is no other; I am Allah, and there is none like me" (Isaiah 46:9),

'One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to Allah.' (Luke 6:12),


"Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by Allah to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which Allah did among you through him, as you yourselves know." (Acts 2:22),

“I am the LORD your Allah, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:2-3; Deuteronomy 5:6-7),

Jesus prayed to Allah:

‘Going a little farther, he (Jesus) fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "Allah, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." (Matthew 26:39),


‘Jesus prayed to Allah for himself and said, “…Now this is eternal life; that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent…”(John 17:3).



Now I wonder what was the actual teachings of Jesus Christ according to the HOLY BIBLE !!?

Dah 2 bln x update blog ni. Tp xla bersawang lg… :)

Di kala tiada sbrg update, masih tdapat bbrp entry yg masih lg dlihat mnarik phatian pengunjung. Especially bkaitan dgn hukum mengucapkn “merry christmast” dan penggunaan nama Allah bg non-muslims.

Di sini sy nk mengulas lanjut tetapi ringkas ttg 2 isu di atas.


1. Isu penggunaan nama Allah


Sy telah pn menulis ttg isu ini sejak tahun 2006 lg. Boleh rujuk di sini.

Dalam memahami perkara ini, pertama sekali kita harus tahu bahawa isu ini bukanlah isu hukum/nas. Dari sudut nas al-Quran dan as-Sunnah, non-muslims sememangnya dbenarkn menggunakan perkataan Allah. Ini telah pun sy jelaskn bbrp kali di blog ini dan di forum abumeow.

Pkr yg menjadi perbahasan skrg ini adalah isu siyasah syar’iyah, atau isu pemerintahan. Maka dlm menilai isu ini, kita harus menimbang dari pelbagai sudut dan dimensi, dan bkn bersikap literal terhadap nas.

Ini sepertimana disebutkan oleh al-Imam Hasan al-Banna dalam usul al-Isyrin (prinsip 20):



Oleh itu, sy lbh bersikap terbuka dlm perkara ini. Walaupun sblm ini sy telah pun mengutarakan pendapat bhw non-muslims harus dbenarkn menggunakn pkataan Allah, sy tidak berkeras thdp mereka yg bpndangan sebaliknya. Saya tahu bhw kita melihat dr aspek dan sudut yg berbeza. Malah sy juga tidak risau jikalau pandangan sy tidak tepat. Ini tidaklah membawa kpd kekufuran. Sekurang2nya, sy telah membuka fikiran kita semua utk melihat dr aspek yg berbeza.

Bg sy, berbeza pandangan bknlah utk berbalah, tp baik utk mematangkn pemikiran.


2. Mengucapkan ucapan merry christmast


Begitu juga dgn hukum mengucapkan ucapan merry christmast. Baru2 ini sy lihat ada bbrp blogs yg memaparkan jwpn yg menyanggah fatwa Yusuf al-Qaradhawi yg mengharuskan umat Islam mengucapkn ucapan Merry Christmast kpd org2 kristian.

Sy post fatwa ini pd 24 Disember thn lps. Tujuan sy bknlah utk mengajak semua umat Islam utk wish rakan2 kristian mereka pd hari krismas. Sy juga tahu pandangan ini adalah pandangan minority. Malah, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradhawi sendiri mengakui bhw pandangannya adalh pandangan minority. Namun ada baiknya kita mengetahui pandangan yg sedikit berlainan agar kita menjadi lebih terbuka dan tidak cepat menghukum orang.

Keduanya, sy juga dpt lihat antara punca pbezaan ini adalah dsbbkn oleh perbezaan kaedah atau ‘formula’ mengeluarkn fatwa. Formula yg dgunakan adalah berbeza. Spt yg dnyatakan dlm post tersebut, fatwa itu dpetik dr kitab beliau yg bertajuk "Fiqh Maqasid Syariah". Jelas sekali inilah method beliau mengeluarkan fatwa – dengan menimbang dari sudut maqasid (tujuan syariat), bkn pd zahir nas atau mengambil nas secara literal. Itulah sebabnya dalil2 yg dkemukakan adlh lebih bsifat umum dan tidak bsifat khusus atau spesifik thdp isu yg dbincangkn. Selain itu, beliau lebih melihat situasi umat Islam setempat dan semasa dlm mengeluarkn fatwa ini.

Sebagaimana yg beliau sebutkn:

Saya mengetahui, bahwa Syaikh Islam Ibnu Taimiyah telah berlaku keras terhadap hari raya-hari raya orang musyrik, Ahli Kitab, dan orang yang mendukungnya. Hal tersebut dia tulis dalam bukunya yang brilian, "Iqtidha' Ash-Shirath Al-Mustaqim Mukhalafah Ahl Al-Jahim."

Saya bersama Ibnu Taimiyah untuk tidak menyetujui umat Islam yang merayakan hari raya-hari raya orang musyrik dan Ahli Kitab. Sebagaimana kita sering melihat sebagian umat Islam yang merayakan christmas, Idul Fitri, dan Idul Adhha. Inilah yang tidak boleh dilakukan. Kita memiliki hari raya, mereka pun memiliki hari raya. Namun, saya berpendapat, bahwa mengucapkan selamat hari raya kepada kerabat, tetangga, rakan, atau hubungan sosial lainnya yang mengharuskan adanya kasih sayang dan hubungan baik serta dibenarkan oleh tradisi yang benar adalah tidak mengapa.

Syaikhul Islam memfatwakan hal itu sesuai dengan kondisi zamannya. Jika (beliau) hidup di zaman kita sekarang, melihat kompleksiti hubungan antara manusia, dunia yang mendekat hingga menjadi desa kecil, keperluan umat Islam untuk berinteraksi dengan non¬Muslim, non-muslim menjadi dosen bagi umat Islam, keperluan dakwah untuk mengajak mereka kepada Islam, menampilkan gambaran Muslim dengan gambaran ramah bukan keras, dan kabar gembira bukan ketakutan, mengucapkan hari raya kepada tetangga, kawan, atau dosen bukan berarti keridhaan terhadap akidah dan kekufuran, melihat orang Kristian sendiri tidak menganggap hari rayanya sebagai aktiviti agama yang bisa mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan tetapi menjadi tradisi negara yang dihabiskan untuk menikmati hari cuti, makanan, minuman, dan hadiah antara sahabat, Ibnu Taimiyah pasti akan mengubah atau meringankan pendapatnya. Dia adalah orang yang selalu mempertimbangkan waktu, tempat, dan kondisi untuk mengeluarkan sebuah fatwa. ["Fiqh Maqasid Syariah," Syeikh Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradhawi]

Sy lihat, di sinilah punca tercetusnya perbezaan itu. Apapun, perbezaan ini bukanlah sepatutnya menjadi isu utk kita bertelagah. Mengetahui pandangan yg berbeza seharusnya menjadikan kita lebih terbuka, bertoleransi dan saling hormat-menghormati, selagimana ia dalam kerangka kaedah2 Islam.

WaLLahu a'alam.

how to kill your mother-in-law


A long time ago in China , a girl named Li-Li got married & went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all.

Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.


Days passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting.

But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing Li-Li's poor husband! d great distress.

Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-! law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it! Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs.

She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all.

Mr. Huang thought for awhile, and finally said, "Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you."

Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do."

Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs.

He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these herbs in her serving.

Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspect you, when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. "Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen."

Li-Li was so happy.

She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law.

Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper!r, obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother.

After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument with her mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.

The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in- law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter.

Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening. One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again She said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law. She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her."

Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her."

HAVE YOU REALIZED that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you? There is a wise Chinese saying: "The person who loves others will also be loved in return." God might be trying to work in another person's life through you.

pwoud mothers..


Four catholic ladies are having coffee together.

The first woman tells her friends, "My son is a Priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him "Father"."

The second woman chirps, "Well, my son is a Bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say "Your grace"."

The third woman says smugly, "My son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say "Your Eminence"."

The fourth woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle "well??"

She replies, "My son is a gorgeous 6'2" stripper. When he walks into a room, people say "Oh my GOD!""
