Understanding and Guarding Against LUNG CANCER


MAKANAN TERJANA NEGARA SELAMAT

Muslimin yang dirahmati Allah,

MARILAH kita meningkatkan ketakwaan kita kepada Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala dengan penuh keyakinan dan keikhlasan dengan melakukan segala suruhan-Nya dan meninggalkan segala larangan-Nya. Mudah-mudahan kita menjadi insan yang bertakwa dan beriman serta selamat di dunia dan selamat di akhirat.

Muslimin yang dirahmati Allah,

Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala menciptakan manusia hidup di atas muka bumi ini adalah semata-mata untuk beribadah kepadanya dengan penuh keimanan dan ketakwaan. Sesungguhnya Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala tidak mengharapkan sesuatu daripada apa yang dilakukan oleh manusia. Perkara ini jelas dinyatakan di dalam surah Azariat ayat 56-58 tafsirnya:

"Dan ingatlah aku tidak menciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan untuk menyembah dan beribadah kepada Ku, Aku tidak sekali-kali menghendaki sebarang rezeki pemberian daripada mereka dan Aku tidak menghendaki supaya mereka memberi makan kepada Ku. Sesungguhnya Allah Dia-lah sahaja yang memberi rezeki kepada sekalian makhluk dan Dia-Lah sahaja yang mempunyai kekuasaan yang tidak terhingga, lagi yang Maha kuat kukuh kekuasaan-Nya".
Pengertian ibadah itu sebenarnya amat luas, bukan hanya khusus terhadap ibadah sembahyang, puasa, zakat dan haji sahaja, akan tetapi ibadah itu merangkumi segala amal perbuatan yang dilakukan dalam kehidupan ini, termasuklah juga dalam usaha kita mencari rezeki melalui pelbagai pekerjaan untuk menyara kehidupan sama ada dalam bidang pendidikan, perniagaan, pengurusan dan semua bidang pekerjaan dengan syarat semuanya itu disertakan dengan niat yang ikhlas semata-mata untuk mendapatkan keredhaan Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala. Firman Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala dalam surah Al-Qasas ayat 77 tafsirnya:

"Dan tuntutlah dengan harta kekayaan yang telah dikurniakan Allah kepadamu akan pahala dan kebaikan hari akhirat dan jangan lah engkau melupakan bahafianmu (keperluan dan bekalanmu) dari dunia".
Muslimin yang dirahmati Allah,

KHUTBAH AIDILADHA YANG KEDUA

Saudara-saudara umat Islam sekalian,

AIDILADHA atau hari Hari Raya Haji adalah salah satu di antara hari-hari yang besar dalam Islam yang mesti dibesarkan menurut selayaknya dengan bertakbir, bersembahyang sunat hari raya dan menyembelih binatang korban.

Memperkatakan tentang ibadah korban pula, sebenarnya ibadah korban itu mendidik umat Islam supaya bersifat dermawan dan murah hati, kerana semua nikmat yang ada pada hakikatnya adalah pinjaman dan amanah Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala, yang kelak pasti akan diambilnya satu persatu, maka segala nikmat yang ada pada diri kita hendaklah dimafaatkan dengan sebaiknya.

Oleh itu bagi mereka yang mampu, lakukanlah penyembelihan korban pada setiap tahun, yang daging dijadikan sedekah kepada fakir miskin dan boleh dijadikan hadiah kepada orang-orang yang mampu seperti jiran tetangga serta rakan taulan yang beragama Islam.

Pada kelazimannya, pihak yang berkorban akan mencari dan menjemput mereka yang berhak menerima daging-daging korban, dan bukannya para penerima yang meminta-minta. Keadaan beginilah yang amat terpuji kerana seperti yang kita sedia maklum bahawa agama Islam melarang umatnya dari perbuatan meminta-minta. Walaupun seseorang itu ditakdirkan oleh Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala untuk menjadi seorang miskin atau fakir, namun mereka tetap tidak digalakkan untuk meminta-minta. Ini berdasarkan kepada sabda Rasulullah Sallahu Alahi Wasalam maksudnya:

"Dari Abi Hurairah Radiaallahu Anhu, bahawa Rasulullah Sallahu Alaihi Wasalam bersabda: Orang fakir miskin bukanlah orang yang menadah tangan meminta-minta kesana kemari kepada orang ramai, yang apabila ia mendapat sesuap atau dua suap makanan, atau mendapat sebiji atau dua biji buah kurma, ia akan pergi ke tempat lain. Akan tetapi fakir miskin itu ialah orang yang tidak mempunyai sesuatu yang mencukupi bagi menyara hidupnya. Dan orang ramai pula tidak mengetahui keadaan penderitaan untuk diberi bantuan dan ia pula malu hendak meminta-minta bantuan kepada orang ramai". (Riwayat Al-Imam Bukhari)
Muslimin yang dirahmati Allah,

Salam Eid al-Adha

Zulkaedah

Zulkaedah adalah bulan kesebelas dalam taqwim Hijrah. Zulkaedah ertinya tempat duduk.

Peristiwa-peristiwa bersejarah yang berhubungkait dengan ibadat haji dan umrah berlaku dalam bulan ini, iaitu pada tahun ke 7 Hijriah, Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam telah memimpin umat Islam menuju ke Mekah untuk mengerjakan umrah yang pertama.


Amalan-amalan sunat di bulan Zulkaedah adalah sama seperti amalan-amalan sunat di bulan-bulan lain. Tiada amalan-amalan istimewa yang khas untuk bulan Zulkaedah yang menjadi amalan Rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ataupun para sahabat mahupun salafus-soleh. Kita dianjurkan untuk meningkatkan amalan-amalan baik dari hari ke hari tanpa mengira apa jua bulan dalam taqwim. Tingkatkan mutu amalan-amalan fardhu dan tambah amalan-amalan sunat pada setiap masa seperti yang disarankan oleh Islam tidak kira di dalam bulan mana sekalipun.

Yang penting adalah niat yang disertakan keikhlasan.

Seasonal flu

Key symptom: Fever that comes on fast

Best fix: Acetaminophen or ibuprofen

If your fever hits 101°F or 102°F and comes with chest discomfort plus major aches and exhaustion, it’s probably the seasonal flu, says Neil Schachter MD, author of The Good Doctor’s Guide to Colds and Flu. Take pain pills for fever and aches, rest, and drink lots of liquids. Those at high risk—pregnant, elderly, or chronically ill—may need antiviral meds such as Tamiflu or Relenza.

Apakah Stres?

Happy Chinese New Year 2010

 
ChineseNewYear2.gifThe Chinese use the lunar calendar for celebratory events which includes the New Year. This falls somewhere between late January and early February. The cycle of twelve animal signs originates from Chinese tradition as a way of naming the years. The animals follow one another in an established order and are replicated every twelve years. The rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig are the twelve animal signs. Every animal has particular characteristics and people born in a specific year are believed to take on these characteristics.

 
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, which commences on February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2, 2011. The Tiger is the third sign in the Chinese Zodiac cycle, and it is a sign of bravery. This courageous and fiery fighter is admired by the ancient Chinese as the sign that keeps away the three main tragedies of a household. These are fire, thieves and ghosts.

1264729132006.gifTigers are physically powerful, gracious, independent and brave, they are extremely bold animals. They are friendly and loving but can also selfish and short tempered. Tigers seek attention and power; frequently they are envious in a relation. Tigers live dangerously which often leads to trouble. They are intolerant, take risks and are always searching for excitement. Tigers are also instilled with a good dose of courage.

The Tiger has an overpowering attraction and is very kind and always takes on the character as protector. The Tiger flourishes by power and attention and takes advantage of all circumstances it gets itself into. The Tiger is a natural leader and loves to be the centre of attention. As a rebel it goes up against authority and speaks out about wrongs in society, and willingly puts up objections. Even if you don’t agree with the beliefs of the tiger you admire his way to protest.

Just as how their counterparts in the jungle are impulsive, so too are individuals born in the Chinese Year of the Tiger. When people think of tigers, it is their vigor and power that comes to mind first. But it has also been noted that tigers are known to share and are unselfish animals. The reason people admire the tiger is due to the fact that they are ferocious and domineering on the outside, but they are just as noble and distinguished on the inside. These are the same personality attributes that persons will have who are born in the Year of the Tiger.

People that are born in the Year of the Tiger are generally well liked because of their charismatic personalities. Often, failing at a given duty or being unproductive in his personal or professional life can cause a Tiger to experience a deep sense of depression.A Tiger is always at their happiest when they endeavor to climb the ladder of success. Attaining the top spot is his foremost purpose; being in a position of power is her ultimate goal. They are quick learners, need to be challenged and often prefer to work alone. Some Tigers tend to change careers more frequently because they get bored quite easily. They are natural born leaders and perform at their best if working towards positions of power and influence. So once there is no further room for progression, they will often move on to something else.

Anyone that is born in the Year of the Tiger is usually straightforward and outgoing by nature. They will never give up no matter how aggravated they may become. But, they are also full of suspicion and at times will take hasty action. Never lose sight of the fact that Tigers are smart and instinctive.

People born in the Year of the Tiger always take pride in being different from others, and normally demonstrate their originality best in their homes. Their homes are typically filled with exotic possessions. It is no surprise that one of the Tiger’s favorite gemstones is the cat’s eye, but tigers also love the sparkle of rubies and diamonds. They like to spend money, and also to share it. They can be very impulsive spenders because they know they can at all times make more.

t.gifThe Year of the Tiger is the third year in the cycle of “Heavenly Branches”. Customarily, it is called “Yin”. Those born in the Year of the Tiger are compatible with the horse, dog, and dragons. The year 2010 is another Year of the Tiger. It is the ji-chou year. Jji is the sixth of the Ten Celestial Stems and yin is the third of the Twelve Terrestrial Branches and marks the Year of the Tiger.

Were you born during a Year of the Tiger?
You were if you were born in one of these years:
1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, and 1998.
