In Pursuit Of Happiness.....

.....in pursuit of happiness: Mufti Muhammad al- Kawthauri

The key words are Redha & Content at what Allah ' throws at you '.

6 important ' modus operandi ' :

1. In matters of ' duniya ', look  at people below  you, you will automatically be on SHUKR mode.

2. In matters of Din, look at people above you. look at scholars, waliallahs tok gurus, etc etc & etc.

3. Keep the 'duniya ' in your pocket, the ' akhirat ' ii your heart.

    Let the world serve us, not we serve the duniya

    Do not expect anything from anyone. Cut off all expectations from people.

4. Remember death all the time. [  Muraqaba of Death  ]

    Life after death is INFINITY.

5. Start off the day around solatul fajar, with taddabur of the Quran, and taffakur and zikrullah.

    Smile & Be Positive  & Optimistic All The Time......

     Afterall only we who are gifted with Islam, have Posterity.

6.  Keep yourselves busy with good & useful activities all the time, irrespective of your age.

This is the video game, in my type of work, that keeps me still going........the adrenaline rush, the excitement and the satisfaction of opening up arteries in my patients, and subsequently following them up for life, and putting them back into active lives that they are used to, before their ailment.

Start watching the video at say 12 th minutes, to avoid the intro, which is pretty educational anyway, even for ' non plumbers '.

This is my life..

Exercise : Mixing The Profane & The Sublime...

 .........my current favourite is swimming at lunch time at my local club, just across the Federal Highway, opposite of my hospital.

" Allaaaaah ",when my head is above water, " Huuuuuu ",when exhaling under water, doing the breast stroke.

" Allaaaaah, Allaaaah, Allaaah, Allaaaah... ", running in neck deep water.

One can go for hours doing this.

Mixing the Profane &  the Sublime........try it for size.

You may get addicted to it.

Jewels From The Qur'an : Surah al- Maoun

...the opening gambit of Surah al- Maoun , is very familiar to myself. I have been there some 62 years ago! Being orphaned at age 9.is no small matter.

For 1 full year I kept slapping and scratching myself in the face form time to time, hoping against hope, that one fine day, I just woke up and realized that , the walking sadness and grievous loss, was just a dream..........Such was the vagaries and loneliness of being an orphan in old Kota Bharu in the early sixties.......
