Ever Wondering...

( سورة ق  , Qaf, Surah 50, Ayat 16)

Dan demi sesungguhnya, Kami telah mencipta manusia dan Kami sedia mengetahui apa yang dibisikkan oleh hatinya, sedang (pengetahuan) Kami lebih dekat kepadanya daripada urat lehernya.

( سورة ق  , Qaf, Chapter #50, Verse #16)

It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein.

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough?

What is the speed of darkness as opposed to speed of light?

Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours?

If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
 

Did you ever stop and wonder.....???

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?'

Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its bum.'

 

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

 

Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

 

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

 

Why do the Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Stop singing and read on........!!!

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

"You are nearer to me than my jugular vein"

You are my face; no wonder I don't see You:

such closeness is a mystifiying veil.

You are my reason; it's no wonder I don't see You,

 because of all this perplexity of thought.

You are nearer to me than my jugular vein.

Mathnawi:VI:666-68, Ver by Camille & Kabir Helminski,

 "Rumi:Jewels of Remembrance", Threshold Books, 1996

If anyone wonders how Jesus raised the dead,

don't try to explain the miracle. 

Kiss me on the lips,

Like this !  Like this !

In Uttering It... Part 2

Remember Antares ? in the previous post, In Uttering It...... where the size of our mother Earth practically disappears ?

Here is VY Canis Majoris (click the last image), the largest known star..... whose physical size makes Antares disappears.

(Click to zoom the first image to refresh the memory on the previous "In Uttering It" post. Mother Earth already practically disappears in this first image. Click the 4th image to refresh the image of Antares. Click the last image to compare Antares against VY Canis Majoris. Then give a thought for one second on our physical size, just before we were about to utter "Allahu Akbar")

ALLAHU AKBAR !!!...

Who are we, on the face of this Earth,
before the Yang Maha Agung....

As Time Passes By

Remember that our bodies are getting old... but we still can be young at heart...

Maksud ku

Dilafazkan sekurang-kurang setiap kali sebelum membaca Surah Al-Fatihah di rakaat pertama solat...

"...Sesungguhnya solatku, ibadahku, hidupku, dan matiku hanyalah untuk Allah pentadbir sekalian alam.."

Sang Pencinta - M. Nasir

Menanti satu detik pandangan magis mu
Cukup untuk meredakan rindu duniawi
Segala dugaan dan pesona
Menjadi irama indah
Kesakitan ragaku
Berlalu pergi Tiada bererti

Pada Mu jua Tertuju segala jalan
Pada Mu jua Cinta ku serahkan
Kerna hati seorang pencinta
Pandangannya satu
Matanya hanya melihat Dia
Yang melihatnya Hanya Dia kekasihnya

Sang Pencinta… Hanya Dia merasa
Semangat sebuah pengorbanan
Sang Pencinta… Hanya Dia mengerti
Persoalan percintaan ini
Cinta ini Rela menderita
Agar rindu batinnya terubat

Mengenang Dia Cinta yang dipuja
Mengenang Dia Cinta yang diredha
Hanya Dia Mengenang Dia Hanya Dia

(  سورة البقرة  , Al-Baqara, Surah 2, Ayat 115)

Dan kepunyaan Allah-lah timur dan barat, maka ke manapun kamu menghadap di situlah wajah Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Luas (rahmat-Nya) lagi Maha Mengetahui.  

(  سورة البقرة  , Al-Baqara, Chapter 2, Verse 115)

And to Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn (yourselves or your faces) there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne). Surely! Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing.

Kasih Ku Pinjam Wajah Mu - Teacher's Pet

Kemana jua aku mengarah

Pandangan ku menggambarkan wajahMu

Oh! Kasihku dilangit tinggi

Di lautan yang sedang menari

Biarpun aku memejam mata

Pandangan masih menggambar wajahMu

Berseri dicermin hati

Di taman impian yang kuimpikan

Kasih wajah kau ku jadikan

Azimat penguat semangat

Bisaku gagahi cabaran yang datang

Kasihku harap kau sudi maafkan aku yang meminjam

WajahMu mengisi kekosongan hati

Diriku yang semakin tenggelam

Kedasar sepi yang tak bertepi

Diriku yang semakin tenggelam

Ke dasar cinta yang tak bertepi

Biarpun aku memejam mata

Pandangan masih menggambar wajahMu

Berseri dicermin hati

Di taman impian yang kuimpikan

Kasih wajah kau ku jadikan penyuluh

Pabila malam gelap menyelimuti

Kembara ku menjejak bahagia

Dengan bayang malam ditindih malam

Memerah ke titis akhir ketulusanku

Diriku yg semakin tenggelam

Kedasar sepi yang tak bertepi

Diriku yang semakin tenggelam

Kedasar cinta yang tak bertepi

Kasih ku pinjam wajahMu

Cerita tentang persoalan yang akan ditanya ...

"Ma Rabbuka.."

Ada yang berhujah, "Siapa Tuhan kamu?" dan ada juga yang memberi hujah, "Apa Tuhan kamu?" Apa ini salah satu di antaranya?

Di dalam hati,  ruangnya hanya buat Kekasih, tiada ruang buat yang lain. Seperti dendangan Sang Pencinta, "Pada Mu jua Cinta ku serahkan", seiring dengan akuan setiap kali solat,  "sesungguhnya hidupku dan matiku hanya untuk Mu".

"Ma Rabukka", adakah yang lain bertahta di hati?

KEPADA MU KEKASIH

KepadaMu Kekasih
Aku berserah
Kerana ku tahu Kau lebih mengerti
Apa yang terlukis di cermin wajahku ini
Apa yang tersirat di hati
Bersama amali

KepadaMu Kekasih
Aku bertanya
Apakah Kau akan menerimaku kembali
Atau harus menghitung lagi
Segala jasa dan bakti
Atau harus mencampakku ke sisi
Tanpa harga diri

Hanya padaMu Kekasih
Aku tinggalkan
Jawapan yang belum ku temukan
Yang bakal aku nantikan
Bila malam menjemputku lena beradu

KepadaMu Kekasih
Aku serahkan
Jiwa dan raga
Jua segalanya
Apakah Kau akan menerima penyerahan ini
Apakah Kau akan menerimaku
Dalam keadaan begini
