Understanding to focus

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barokahtu,everyone~ Greetings :)

*Pop out* As usually, I wasn't really able to update my blog as frequent as I used to be. Especially since I'm busy with my tutoring work in uni. But whenever I had the inspirations and something to share, I will use all my might and willpower to post it and share it here. (^_^)

So, I have an interesting video that I really would love to share with everyone especially Muslim brothers and sisters. It is in Bahasa Malaysia though, and what makes it interesting is that it is about what we recite every 5 times a day in our shalat. 

As it shown in the video; Yes,indeed. We recite and perform our shalat every 5 times a day. But be honest, we do lose our focus once in a while ey? Why is that so? 

1) As usual, the satan/djin is doing his/their daily basis work of disturbing us every time we wanted to do any good deed(s).

2) We barely understand what we recite thus making us simply reciting it without knowing and understanding the proper meaning of what we've recited of. Thus, we lose focus easily.

That is where this video came in handy (I hope I said it right. ^^|| ). In this video, the meanings of our recitation will be shared and shown in a quite interesting as well as interactive way. It doesn't just use words but as well as drawings and colors. I am sure most of us likes to simplify our notes (during our studies) and whenever possible, make a mind-mapping or simple point-form notes. The simple form of notes made us understand and memorize easier,isn't it? Even with colors! I remembered a colorful inked pen's advertisement in television years ago that said colors made it easier for our brain to memorize things. So, what I wanna say here is that; these are what presented in the video and I am sure it can helps us to understand more and memorize more of what we recite in our daily prayer. Maybe if we always watch it like watching the same advertisement every time we watched television (until to the point, we know and memorize the whole scene of that advertisement), we could really memorize thus understanding our recitation in shalat. Well, that's just my suggestion ^_^v

So, here it is.. enjoy watching this video. Do share with your friends :)

P.s: Thank you, Kyo9 for your reminder previously. It made me remember to embed the video. :P Arigatou~

Quranic website

Bismillahirrahman nir rahim~

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokahtu :) and greetings to everyone! ^_^ I am very sorry for not updating for a very long2 time. Been busy with convocation last month and stuffs.. yeah, stuffs. He he he. Sometimes, to be honest, I just forgotten about the blog and sometimes I got the so-called 'author's block' (err.. is that the right word? Let me know if I'm wrong.).

Anyways, today I would love to share a website called surah.my in which we can read and even listen to the Quran! There are also Malay and English tafseer of the Quranic verses. Alhamdulillah. Now, don't even say that we can't get to read or listen to the Quran when going anyway when at the very same time, we can carry our laptops and broadbands (or some places just have free wi-fi, isn't it?). Here are some of the screencaps that I would like to share (partly so that you'll be more convinced, maybe. He he)

You can select any surah of your choice :) this one is in Malay language. But of course, if you prefer English, you can simply click the 'English' tab (as shown below).


In English :)

Last but not least, there's a player where you can listen to the Quran at the lower left side of the page. :)

Guess what.. another 2 features I forgot to show is that the recitation is by Sheikh Mishary Rashed Alafasy and you can download the recitation as well! :D

Oh, I started to love this site~ Besides, not only our body has to eat ya.. our soul can also be hungry. And the food for our soul? The best choice would be the beautiful words from Allah, that could refresh and reminded us of our raison d'etre in this world. :)

Wasalam~
