Teapots of Sodiqeen

My lovely sisters made a poem and sent it to us in one lovely Jumuah morning. One of us, replied to and made my day:

I'm a little teapot
Nice and round
One thing I'm very fond
Pouring out tea
Into cups I found

I'm a little teapot
I live to serve
Come guests
To please I love

One small trouble
With my little self
Once I finish serving
I go back to the shelf

You see it saddens me
If I'm empty
For how can it be
For me to serve more
When what I have in me
There's nothing left to pour

I need a refill please
A top up some may say
To continue filling up
The empty cup
Or I shall give up
Not because I refuse
But what is the use
Of,
An empty teapot
Give more I cannot

Please queue for your refill at the kiosks available.
The reply was: 
o little teapot,
come closer as the tea is here,
waiting for you to come near,

o little teapot 
if you are coming here,
please do open your lid,
coz even though you are near,
i can only fill you if you opened your lid,

o little teapot,
come near with a cleaned inside,
squeaky clean and dried,
smelly and dirty we shall not abide,
coz our tea is served worldwide ,
a tea brand that is bona fide.

o little tea pot,
when you come near,
don't be just a sightseer,
tell your story to fellow teapots here,
build bonds before we disappear,
only then shall we become musketeer.

Pahit bak hempedu..

Sekali lagi satu petikan dari saifulislam.com. Aku suka pada pengakhiran artikel ni.. Bentangkan sejadah. Dia Teman sejatimu… ______________________________________________  “Sabarlah… kawan aku dahulu sakit macam ini juga. Walaupun dia meninggal dunia, aku yakin engkau mampu mengatasinya!” seorang teman yang baik hati memberi nasihat. Hatinya baik. Tetapi hati yang tidak dipandu akal, menyebabkan mulut ditimpa bebal. Bercakap sesuatu dengan maksud yang baik, tetapi salah memilih perkataan. Dia menyangka perkataannya bisa mengurangkan penderitaan teman yang diziarahi. Hakikatnya, perkataan simpati yang dilontar itu sungguh pedih dan membunuh harapan. KANSER “Engkau beruntung. Allah sayang engkau sebab dia peringatkan engkau yang hidup ini sementara!” kata seorang lagi. Kata-kata perangsang yang ditujukan kepada seorang teman yang sedang bertarung dengan kanser. Apakah yang ada di kepala teman seperti ini semasa dia berkata begitu? Apakah itu sahaja harga sebuah kema

Reminder and Reflection: Tarbiyah bukan GHAYAH!

Image
Tarbiyyah bukan GHAYAH (Matlamat) sehinggakan kita merasa tenang kerana terikat dan berada dalam majlis-majlis ilmu, usroh, halaqoh, tamrin dan sebagainya tetapi tabiyyah adalah WASILAH (jalan) untuk kita meningkatkan diri ketahap yang dikehendaki oleh Allah SWT. Yang menjadi persoalan utamanya bukan berapa lama kita berada dan melalui proses tarbiyyah tetapi sejauhmana kita telah tingkatkan diri kita sehingga terbinannya satu keperibadian sebagaimana yang dicontohkan oleh Rasulullah SAW dan para sahabat.   read more: KEHIDUPAN DAN KEIMANAN  by Abu Umar
