Catatan Perjalanan

At age 17, she was rejected from college. At age 25, her mother died from disease. At age 26, she suffered a miscarriage. At age 27, she got married. Her husband abused her. Despite this, her daughter was born. At age 28, she got divorced and was diagnosed with severe depression. At age 29, she was a single mother living on welfare. At age 30, she didn't want to be on this earth. But, she directed all her passion into doing the one thing she could do better than anyone else. And that was writing. At age 31, she finally published her first book. At age 35, she had released 4 books, and was named Author of the Year. At age 42, she sold 11 million copies of her new book, on the first day of release. This woman is J.K. Rowling. Remember how she considered suicide at age 30?

It’s never too late. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid...

10 Life Lessons They Don’t Teach You in School. 1 You don't need anyone's permission to chase your dreams. You only need your own permission because you are the one that can create the roadblocks in your life or open up the way for your success.  2 Time runs out quickly, but those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity. 3 You are not born to work a job you hate but don't quit your job without a plan. When you quit without another job lined up, your income will disappear, while your expenses continue to pile up. 4 The perfect time to start was yesterday. Today is already late.  5 Don't follow your passion, follow your purpose. Passion is not an endpoint but service of ego. When you pursue passion, you are limited only to what your ego allows you to envision. Purpose is the reason, or the why behind what you do. Purpose is much more focused. Passions can also come and go, whereas purpose tends to be longer term. 6 Don't waste yea...

Jum'at, 07 Syawal 1444 H ●💡📖💡📖💡📖💡● ════════════════ *Kenang Dan Siapkan* Saat bersilaturrahim bersama keluarga maupun ziarah ke rumah kawan dan tetangga, kadang kita "Terhenyak" Ternyata saudara, tetangga, kawan, atau pun kerabat yang tahun lalu bergembira berhari raya bersama kita, saat ini terbujur di liang kubur. A. Pasti Datang. Allah Ta’ala berfirman, أَيْنَمَا تَكُونُوا يُدْرِكُكُمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِي بُرُوجٍ مُشَيَّدَةٍ   "Dimana saja kamu berada, kematian akan mendapatimu, kendatipun engkau berada didalam benteng yang tinggi lagi kokoh (QS. An-Nisa : 78). Bahkan bila engkau menjauh, kematian akan mendatangimu. Allah 'Azza wa jalla menjelaskan dalam firman-Nya : قُلْ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ الَّذِي تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مُلَاقِيكُمْ   "Katakanlah : Sesungguhnya kematian yang kamu lari dari padanya, maka sesungguhnya kematian itu akan menemuimu…" (QS Al-Jum'ah:8) Hasan al-Bashri rahimahullah berkata, "Kematian akan meremeh...

“ A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon. At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon. The teacher said to the students: "These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."  Thanks for reading For more👉Hassan Sas Bangura Blog https://www.facebook.com/100090637488680/posts/pfbid0cU7aGNPq7DKdGcmUG1eVJxaXbarNRvvV4X94qkQxD8Mf8gw7LPPKZBbB9TfYAchUl/?mibextid=Nif5oz

Why did many people join Islam recently? Well, this is not really something recent. Since Prophet Muhammad started delivering the message of God. Islam has been increasing. This is how truth spreads. Hearts know the truth once it is subjected to the light of the truth.  Islam is the answer to all problems that humanity have today. It is the answer to the very difficult question: There are many religions and each is saying to be the truth, which one is correct?  There is no answer to this question except in Islam. Muslims believe that the religion has never changed. All prophets and messengers came from the same God to deliver exactly the same message. Islam is a religion that is based on nature and common sense. Let us take a simple example. What does Buddhism mean? It is the name of a religion that means you are a follower of someone called (Buddha) and hence Buddhism. What does Judaism means? It means the followers of a man who is called (Judah). Well, the Torah or the Old T...

"According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence: 1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ) 2) Emotional Quotient (EQ) 3) Social Quotient (SQ) 4) Adversity Quotient (AQ) 1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons. 2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate. 3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time. People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down. A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ. Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ repres...

This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said “I would like to withdraw $10”. The teller told her “for withdrawals less than $100, please use the ATM.  The old lady wanted to know why... The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her “these are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you”.  The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said “please help me withdraw all the money I have.” The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her “you have $300,000 in your account but the bank doesn’t have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow?  The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to $3000. “Well please let me have $3000 now.” The teller kindly handed $3000 very friendly and with a smile...

The Group of Frogs  As a group of frogs was traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them. However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to  try and jump out of the pit.  Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they would never make it out. Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. Moral of the story: People’s wor...

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replies: Who cares about perfection? Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters. The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths. The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy. So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special. Therefore, every woman can be special to someone. Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress .

150 Years From Now 150 years from now, none of us reading this post today will be alive. 70 percent to 100 percent of everything we are fighting over right now will be totally forgotten. Underline the word, TOTALLY.  If we go back memory lane to 150 years before us, that will be 1872, none of those that carried the world on their heads then are alive today. Almost all of us reading this will find it difficult to picture anybody's face of that era. Pause for a while and imagine how some of them betrayed their relatives and sold them as slaves for a piece of mirror. Some k*lled family members just for a piece of land or tubers of yam or cowries or for a pinch of salt. Where is the yam, cowries, mirror, or salt that they were using to brag? It may sound funny to us now, but that is how s*lly we humans are sometimes, especially when it comes to money, power or trying to be relevant. I remember those days in my secondary school, how some people fought and did so many unimaginable things...

THE 3 TYPES OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE..  1. The Leaf people 2. The Branch people 3. The Root people LEAF PEOPLE: These are people who come into your life just for a season. You can't depend on them because they are weak. They only come to take what they want, but if the wind comes they will leave. You need to be careful of these people because they love you when things are okay, but when the wind comes they will leave you 🥺 BRANCH PEOPLE: They are strong, but you need to be careful with them too. They break away when life becomes tough and they can't handle too much weight. They may stay with you in some seasons, but they will go when it becomes harder 😢 ROOT PEOPLE: These people are very important because they don't do things to be seen. They are supportive even if you go through a difficult time they will water you and they are not moved by your position they just love you like that ... It's not all people you meet or are your friends, that will stay with you. Only the...

An elephant and a dog became pregnant at same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months on it gave birth to another dozen puppies.  The pattern continued. On the eighteenth month the dog approached the elephant questioning, "Are you sure that you are pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What’s going on?”._  The elephant replied, "There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in two years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration, what I carry draws attention.  Please subscribe to my YouTube channel👉 https://www.youtube.com/@HassanSasBangura-qg6no Thank you🥰🫂 So what I’m carrying is mighty and great.”...

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?" DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour." SON: "Oh! (With his head down). SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?" The father was furious. DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had cal...

A man was in search of a job. He travelled cities till he found a job relating to his expertise. He was a woodcutter.  His boss instructed the man to clear a bush about 100m of it. The boss expected him to take 7 days to complete the task.  The woodcutter was given an axe which wasn't sharp. He spent days sharpening it. The boss went away in expectation of coming back seeing a bit of progress. After 4 days the boss came back and found that the woodcutter didn't even start.  The boss was furious. He wanted to fire him. The woodcutter pleaded with the boss, I promise at the end of 7 days this bush would be cleared.  The boss asked, what's the reason of you delaying the project? The woodcutter replied, "sharpening the axe". The boss just gave him a chance. When he came back after 7 days, he found all trees down.  He was shocked how come you complete the task that's requiring a week in just days and the woodcutter smiled and protested, "l took days to sharpen...

Embryologists A Muslim woman is the cleanest woman on earth.  A woman who is divorced by her husband has to wait (at least) 3 monthly periods n a woman whose husband died has to wait (at least) 4 months n 10 days before they can marry again. If she turns out to be pregnant, then her waiting period lasts until the birth of the child. This has surprised the modern science after discovering of (imprint man water). The liquid imprint of a man contains 62 proteins, n it differs from one man to another, just like our fingerprints. It's like a personal code for each man n a woman's body carries the computer where the code can be put. If a woman marries another man immediately after the divorce, or allows other codes to enter her, it's like viruses entering the computer. This will cause imbalance, n it'll bring dangerous infectious diseases. It has been proven scientifically, during the first menstrual period after divorce, the woman removes 32% to 35%. Second period 67% to 72%...

The Cockroach Theory  The cockroach theory for self-development At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic-stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behaviour of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant. Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroa...

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.' One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her.  Now she could see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her,' Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.' This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. Life Is a Gift Today before ...

Penganut Mazhab Syafii bermakmum dengan penganut mazhab Hanafi. Imam yang bermazhab hanafi tidak meyakini wajibnya membaca Al Fatihah, namun cukup ayat terpendek dalam Al Qur'an sudah cukup. Sedangkan menurut mazhab syafii, membaca Al Fatihah adalah rukun shalat. Imam bermazhab Syafii meyakini bahwa makan daging onta tidak membatalkan wudlu, sedangkan penganut mazhab Hambali meyakini bahwa memakan daging onta membatalkan wudlu. Imam bermazhab Hambali meyakini bahwa mencium istri sendiri atau bersentuhan dengan wanita bila tanpa nafsu tidak membatalkan wudlu.  Sedangkan menurut mazhab syafii menyentuh lawan jenis membatalkan wudlu. Dan masih banyak lagi perbedaan pendapat di antara mazhab mazhab yang ada. Bagaimana bila penganut mazhab Syafii berjamaah dengan imam yang bermazhab Hanafi atau Hambali, atau sebaliknya? Padahal bisa jadi sebelum shalat, sang imam melakukan hal yang  oleh makmumnya diyakini membatalkan wudlunya? Ada 3 pendapat  dalam hal ini: Pendapat pertama: ...

SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU: 1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to; 2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes. 3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. 4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem; 5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public; 6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time; 7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone...
