Glory be to Allāh and Praise Him



"SubhanAllāhi wa biHamdihi (Glory be to Allāh and Praise Him)"


Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) (salAllāhu alayhi wasalam) said,
"Shall I tell you the words that Allāh loves the most?"
I said:
"Yes, tell me, O Messenger of Allāh."
He said:
"The words dearest to Allāh are: سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ SubhanAllāh wa bihamdihi."

[Muslim and at-Tirmidhi]

Fun. - Some Nights




Fun.- Some Nights

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
Woah oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Woah oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know anymore...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style

That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm...

Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change.
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
Woah oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Woah oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)

So this is it. I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

(Come on)

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on.
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights... ah... ["nights" is confirmed by the band's Twitter page]

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh

The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...

Ya Allāh, Ya Rāhman, Ya Rāhim..



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Ya Allāh, Ya Rāhman, Ya Rāhim..

'Ya Allāh, hidupkanlah aku dengan iman, matikanlah aku dalam iman & tempatkanlah aku ke dalam syurga-Mu dengan iman. Sesungguhnya aku takut dengan api neraka-Mu, namun aku tahu aku tidak layak untuk ke syurga-Mu.'

'Ya Allāh, ampunkanlah dosa²ku & isteriku yang terdahulu & yang sekarang. Sama ada yang terang mahupun yang tersembunyi.'

'Ya Allāh, ampunkanlah dosa² ayah & emak-ku yang terdahulu, yang terkini, yang sekarang. Sama ada yang terang mahupun yang tersembunyi. Kasihanilah mereka sebagaimana mereka mengasihaniku semasa kecil.'

'Ya Allāh, ampunkanlah dosa² arwah bapa, ibu mentuaku yang terdahulu, yang terkini, yang sekarang. Sama ada yang terang mahupun yang tersembunyi. Tempatkanlah arwah bapa mentuaku ditempat orang² yang beriman.'

'Ya Allāh, jadikanlah anakku sihat, sempurna, pintar, berakal, berpengetahuan, cerdik, beriman serta soleh, perelokkanlah akhlaknya, fasihkanlah lidahnya, merdukanlah suaranya untuk membaca al-Quran & al-Hadith dengan berkat daripada junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad (ﷺ).

'Ya Allāh, jauhkanlah keluargaku daripada segala musibah di dunia ini. Murahkanlah rezeki kami & janganlah Engkau sempitkan hidup kami di dunia ini & di akhirat. Sesungguhnya, Engkau Maha Pemurah, Pengampun & Maha Mengasihani.'

Amin Ya Rābbal 'Alamin.
