Happy Eid Mubarak

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful .
Assalamualaikum . Hi reader :)

It's very sad that Ramadhan was ended. I wis I'll get the chance to meet Ramadhan again in the next year. Insyallah. I was blessed to be able to spend it this year with my family in Muar , Johor. The month flew by for me and it wasn't very difficult with the exception of being thirsty, but I know that it was extremely difficult for all . May God except our fasts and reward us.

I wonder what next Ramadan will be like? Where I will be? What will be happening in the world?

Alright , I think that's all for now. Before I end , I would like to wish all my family, members, relatives, teachers/lectures, brothers and sisters ''EID MUBARAK'' May this Eid brings you closer to your relatives and friends. Insyallah. If I've ever had hurts you in any ways I might not realize, I'm very sorry. So , have fun and happy moments with your beloved family . Take care . Bye bye ^^

Hot and Latest Gadgets !!

 It must be nice to be a part of Apple Inc.’s sales team since marketing the iPhone and iPad can’t be a very tough sell.

 A poll conducted by SodaHead — an opinion-based community on the web — found that theiPhone 5 “is the most anticipated gadget of the year” with 35 percent of the votes.

“As if there was any doubt,” the website declared.

In the poll that attracted 513 responses, the iPad 3 ranked as the second most anticipated tech product in 2012 with 20 percent of the votes. Interest in Apple’s future tablet was followed byGoogle’s tablet (16 percent), the PlayStation Vita (12 percent), the Wii U (11 percent) andAmazon’s Kindle Fire 2 (7 percent).

It’s possible that Apple will release the iPhone 5 later this year, but the pundits have to wonder whether the consumer electronics giant has adequate incentive to do so. Demand for the iPhone 4S continues to be strong: A ChangeWave Research survey conducted late last month of 4,000 consumers in North America found that 54 percent of respondents plan to buy an iPhone in the next 90 days.

“Apple has never dominated smart phone planned buying to this extent more than two months after a major new release,” ChangeWave Research said.

EID MUBARAK 2012

Hijab , A Symbol of Modesty

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

So...hijab, a symbol of modesty?? What is modesty? Below are some paragraphs I copied from http://www.missionislam.com/family/womensinnermodesty.htm which -I think- describes modesty in a really good point of view.

"Modesty is a term that is used often but one that is not clearly understood. One way to conceptualize it would be to think in terms of moving from an outer layer to the inner workings of a system.

The covering, or hijab is the surface layer of modesty that everyone sees and that is very obvious to all. However, a woman could wear hijab and modesty may not go any deeper than that; it could be an artificial form of modesty or one done to satisfy another person.

Going deeper, the next layer may consist of what is commonly known as self-consciousness or shyness. At this level the woman not only wears hijab, but also acts in a way that is reserved and respectful. An important behavior in this category is lowering of the gaze.

"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty." (24:31)"

Emphasis is often placed on men lowering their eyes, but this is also a requirement for women. Eyes should be turned away from everything that is forbidden. This includes not looking at any non-mahram man, at the awrah of another woman, or with bad intentions at another person.

In one hadeeth qudsi, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), reported that Allah S.W.T. says,

"Looking at a non-mahram (men relatives to whom women cannot get married) is one of the poisoned arrows of Satan. Whoever will stop it because of fearing me, I will bless him with such Emaan, the sweetness of which he will feel in his heart" (Tabarani).

Another characteristic at this level is humility in speech. As with everything in Islam, a woman's speech should be in moderation. It should be neither too loud nor too soft (so as to be alluring). Idle, senseless, excessive conversation should be avoided since it has no benefit and distracts from more important responsibilities. When a woman engages in conversation she should keep it decent and respectable and void of such harmful vices as backbiting, mockery, suspicion, and gossip. She should be humble and not boast about her abilities and achievements.

"Successful indeed are the believers who are humble in their salah, and who shun vain conversation, and who are payers of zakat" (23:1-4).

Being placed between two pillars of Islam demonstrates the very significance of this pronouncement. A woman should also attempt to avoid contact and conversation with non-mahram men. When this is necessary, such as for educational purposes or in the work environment, the discussion should be limited to pertinent matters and the woman should speak in a straight-forward and virtuous manner."

As with the hijab, these rules of etiquette may be observed for various reasons. The woman may act modestly because of cultural norms, her own innate disposition, or to impress or satisfy other people. This may have no connection whatsoever to the innermost level of modesty as any non-believer may follow the same code of conduct. 

The center of this innermost level is the heart, alongside Emaan. A true believing woman does not engage-in these behaviors for other people; rather, she does it for the sake of Allah. She does not do so out of shyness from other people; she does it out of shyness from Allah. She is humble in the presence of Allah because she knows that everything she has, her wealth, her status, her abilities, are only from Him. This understanding highlights the interconnection between modesty and Emaan. 

The Prophet (SAW) said, 

"Indeed, modesty and Emaan are companions. When one of them is lifted, the other is lifted as well." (Baihaqi).
