Maha Suci ALLAH..

Perjalanan Menuju Akhirat..

Dari Ibnu Umar ra katanya; Rasulullah SAW memegang bahuku lalu ia bersabda:

"Hendaklah engkau berada dalam dunia seolah-olah engkau orang berdagang atau orang yang sedang melalui di jalan (pengembara)".

Dan adalah Ibnu Umar ra berkata:

"Jika engkau berada di waktu petang, maka janganlah engkau menunggu pagi; dan apabila engkau berada di waktu pagi, maka janganlah engkau menunggu petang. Dan gunakanlah dari sihat engkau bagi masa sakit engkau dan dari hidup engkau bagi masa mati engkau".

(al-Bukhari)

وَمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا لَهۡوٌ۬ وَلَعِبٌ۬‌ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلۡأَخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلۡحَيَوَانُ‌ۚ لَوۡ ڪَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ
Dan (ingatlah bahawa) kehidupan dunia ini (meliputi segala kesenangan dan kemewahannya, jika dinilaikan dengan kehidupan akhirat) tidak lain hanyalah ibarat hiburan dan permainan dan sesungguhnya negeri akhirat itu ialah kehidupan yang sebenar-benarnya; kalaulah mereka mengetahui (hakikat ini tentulah mereka tidak akan melupakan hari akhirat).
(Surah Al-Ankabut 29: Ayat ke 64)

flowers are red..

A little boy went first day at school
He got some crayons and he started to draw
He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw

The teacher said, "What you doin' young man?"

"I'm paintin' flowers see"
"Well this is not the time for art young man

And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one"

And she said...
"Flowers are red
Green leaves are green

There's no need to see flowers any other way

Than the way they always have been seen "

But the little boy said...
"There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun

So many colors in the flower and I see every one"

Well the teacher said… "You're sassy
There's a way that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me..."
she said...
"Flowers are redGreen leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than they way they always have been seen "

But the little boy said again...
"There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one"
Well the teacher put him in a corner

She said… "It's for your own good…
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
responding like you should"
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head

And he went up to that teacher

And this is what he said
"Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen"

Well time went by like it always doe she moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said..."Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower

So let's paint every one"

That little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him "why"
This is what he said.."Flowers are red, green leaves are green

There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen."

But there must still be a way to have our children say,
There are so many colors in the rainbow

So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one

There are so many colors in the rainbow

So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one
