Ten Things We Waste
Lessons from Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

1. Our Knowledge: Wasted by not taking action with it

2. Our Actions: Wasted by committing them without sincerity.

3. Our Wealth: Wasted by using on things that will not bring us ajr (reward from Allah). We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things which have no benefit in this life or in akhirah (hereafter).

4. Our Hearts: Wasted because they are empty from the love of Allah, and the feeling of longing to go to Him, and a feeling of peace and contentment. In it's place, our hearts are filled with something or someone
else.

5. Our Bodies: Wasted because we don't use them in ibadah (worship) and service of Allah.

6. Our Love: Our emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah, but towards something/someone else.

7. Our Time: Wasted, not used properly, to compensate for that which has passed, by doing what is righteous to make up for past deeds.

8. Our Intellect: Wasted on things that are not beneficial, that are detrimental to society and the individual, not in contemplation or reflection.

9. Our Service: Wasted in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah, or benefit in dunyaa.

10. Our Dhikr (Remembrence of Allah): Wasted, because it does not effect us or our hearts.

Gossip!!!

Salam Alekum dear brothers & sisters ,

The Gossip !

A person repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor.

Within a few days the whole community knew the story.

The person it concerned was deeply hurt and offended.

Later the person responsible for spreading the rumor learned that it was completely untrue!!!

The person was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what could be done to repair the damage.

"Go to the marketplace, " the wise old man said, "and purchase chicken feathers. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road."


Although surprised by this advice, the person did what was told to do.


The next day the wise man said, "Now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me."



The person followed the same road, but unfortunately , the wind had blown the feathers away. After searching for hours; returned with only one feather .


"You see," said the old man , "it's easy to drop them, but it's impossible to get them back.


So it is with gossip! It doesn't take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong."


O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions; indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful. Quran 49:12


And Never Forget....


Who Backbites With You Today....


Will Backbite about You Tomorrow....


STOP BACKBITING!!!

Useful Tips for Postgraduate Student

1. Do think about whether you really want to do a PhD. Being a PhD student is not the same as being an undergrad, nor like working as a research assistant. A PhD is extremely hard work requiring a lot of discipline and dedication. Dont just start a PhD because its the line of least resistance.

2. Do choose your supervisor well. The quality of your supervisor will have a direct impact on how much you get out of your PhD and how good (or bad) an experience it is. Dont choose your PhD supervisor because he/she is the leader in his/her field, in fact thats the most likely way to find a bad supervisor. Talk to the PhD students already working in the lab, find out whether they are happy and get information about the supervisors personality, level of attention (too much/too little?) and how well they plan their projects.

3. Dont leaves the responsibility for your project to others. Dont leave it to your supervisor to tell you how to work, what to read or plan your project. This is your learning experience: Get involved and take responsibility as early as possible.

4. Do get support from other PhD students. When things get tough, the only people who can understand what you are going through are other PhD students (or former ones!). If there are other PhD students around you, arrange to go for regular coffee/lunch breaks with them. If not, try an online forum such as the Postgraduate Forum. (http://www.postgrad uateforum.com/index. asp)

5. Dont waste your first year. It is easy to think that you have a long time to complete your PhD, but dont be lulled into a false sense of security time has a habit of disappearing fast. Start out as you mean to go on. Establish a strict work and study routine, and stick to its. You are not an undergrad anymore! (see #1!)

6. Dont spend long hours in the lab for the sake of it. Make sure that when you are in the lab, you are working and not just hanging around. I’ve seen many people spend 16 hours a day in the lab, but they only actually work for eight hours or less. An 8 hour day, with time away from the lab to relax your body and mind will keep you sharp and focused.

7. Do summarise your results as you go. From the beginning, get yourself into the discipline of writing a monthly summary of experiments performed, results and conclusions and include all lab book references/data/ images. The monthly reports will link up to make a story of your research and make your write-up much easier.

8. Dont underestimates how long it will take to write up. However long you think it will take you to write up, double or even trebling it will be closer to the truth. The write-up is the hardest part of your whole PhD. When my wife says that I have no concept of the pain and agony of childbirth, I beg to differ. A PhD is like a long uncomfortable pregnancy and the write up is the long and agonizing labor.

9. Do take every opportunity to practice and learn. Treat your PhD studies like an intensive training program. Listen to and learn from those around you, take every opportunity to try new techniques, present data, meet other scientists etc.

10. Do get a life. Its not all hard work and heartache. Smell the flowers as you go along, enjoy the people around you and make sure you have some fun!

PERJUANGAN ADALAH PERLAKSANAAN KATA-KATA"

“Kalau Bukan Kita, Siapa? Kalau Bukan Sekarang, Bila Lagi?”

“This Path Maybe Difficult, But The Final Destination Is Certain!”

Jadilah Insan Berjiwa Besar

Bagaimana menjadi insan berjiwa besar? Sedangkan jiwa itu sesuatu yang abstrak dan subjektif. Jawapannya mudah sahaja. Tetapkan matlamat hidup, bagaimana mencapainya dan keperluan yang perlu di bawa. Mudah bukan? Semudah output (matlamat hidup) , proses (bagaimana mencapainya) dan input (keperluan yang perlu di bawa).

Adakah kita mempunyai tujuan hidup yang jelas seperti A man with a mission? Lihat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kGJ2Lg6zOk

Atau sekadar memenuhi 5 rukun hidup iaitu makan, minum, tidur, bekerja dan berkahwin hingga akhirnya terbaring di penghujung usia menanti maut?

Ayuh, merilah kita menjadi insan berjiwa besar dengan mengetahui maksud dan tujuan hidup! Bagaimana mungkin untuk mengenal tujuan hidup jika minda tidak diasak untuk bertanya soalan penting;

Siapakah Aku?
Mengapa Aku disini?
Kemana halatujuku?

Bukankah kehidupan yang tidak ditentukan arahnya ialah kehidupan yang tidak tentu arah?

Justeru, apa tujuan dan halatuju hidup anda?

Keprihatinan anda biarpun hanya bernilai sebuku roti, amat bermakna buat sama membangunkan laman ini. People dont care how much U know until THEY know how much U care.
