Narrated Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who remember (glorify for the Praise of) Allah on the roads and paths. And when they find some people remembering (glorifying the Praises of) Allah, they call each other saying, "Come to the object of your pursuit."

Rasulullah (may peace be upon him) added, "Then the angels encircle them with their wings up to the nearest heaven to us." He (may peace be upon him) added, "[After those people remembered (glorified the Praise of) Allah, and the angels go back to Allah], their Lord (the Mighty and Majestic) asks them (those angels) - though He knows better than them - "What do My slaves say?"

The angels reply, "They say: Subhan-Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Al-hamdu lillah."

Allah then says, "Did they see Me?"

The angels reply, "No! By Allah, they didn't see You."

Allah says, "How it would have been if they saw me?"

The angels reply, "If they saw You, they would worship You more devoutly and remember You (glorify Your Praises) more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to anything more often."

Allah says (to the angels), "What do they ask Me for?"

The angels reply, "They ask You for Paradise."

Allah says (to the angels), "Did they see it?"

The angels say, "No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it."

Allag says (to the angels), "How it would have been if they saw it?"

The angels say, "If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and and would seek it with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it."

Allah says, "From what do they seek refuge?"

The angels reply, "They seek refuge from (Hell) Fire."

Allah says, "Did they see it?"

The angels say, "No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it."

Allah says, "How it would have been if they saw it?"

The angels say, "If they saw it they would flee from it with extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it."

Then Allah says, "I make you witness that I have forgiven them."

[Sahih Al-Bukhari, 8/6408 (O.P.417)]

As-salaamu'alaikum,

I just came back from World of the Unseen by AlKauthar Institute in Kuala Lumpur, taught by Ustadh Yahya Ibrahim. Alhamdulillah! I was so excited and grateful to Allah for giving me another chance to join this 'imaan recharging' course.

Will write more about this later on, inshaAllah.

I found a very good article & would like to share with you as well inshaAllah.

Why Should I Study Islam by Muhammad al Shareef

Iqamat-as-Salat: Performing of Salat (prayers). It means that:

a) Every Muslim, male or female, is obliged to offer his Salat (prayers) regularly five times a day at the specified times; the male in the mosque in congregation and as for the female, it is better to offer them at home. As the Prophet (peace be upon him) has said, "Order your children to offer Salat (prayer) at the age of seven and beat them (about it) at the age of ten." The chief (of a family, town, tribe) and the Muslim rulers of a country are held responsible before Allah in case of non-fulfillment of this obligation by the Muslims under their authority.

b) One must offer the Salat (prayers) as the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to offer them with all their rules and regulations, i.e., standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting. As he (peace be upon him) has said, "Offer your salat (prayers) the way you see me performing them." [Sahih Al-Bukhari 9/7246 (O.P.352)] [For the characteristic of the Salat (prayer) of the Prophet (may peace be upon him) see Sahih Al-Bukhari, 1/735-737, 756, 823, and 824]

Narrated Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) The Prophet (may peace be upon him) said, "No Salat (prayer) is heavier (harder) for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the 'Isha prayers, but if they knew the reward for these Salat (prayers) at the respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl." The Prophet (may peace be upon him) added, "Certainly, I intended (or was about) to order the Mu'adhdhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqamah and order a man to lead the Salat (prayer) and then take a fire flame to burn all those (men along with their houses) who had not yet left their houses for the Salat (prayer) (in the mosques)." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 1/657 (O.P.626)]

Taken from my handy "The Noble Qur'an, A Summarized Version of At-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, and Ibn Kathir with comments from Sahih Al-Bukhari" page 660. Refer Verse 22 ayaat 41).

May Allah guide us all to the straight path. Ameen.

As-salamu'alaikum,

Below is the summary of LIMA 09; from Aero Composites (the sub-division that I represented) point of view.

LIMA 09: A Journey of AC Success
By: Khairul Amar Razali

The mission of CTRM AC at this biennial event was to showcase the capability of the company to be a market leader in aero composites industry through positive growth, new technology, and ongoing competitiveness.

During LIMA 09, we highlighted the positive growth at CTRM AC through new projects that we received from our partners such as Goodrich US and Spirit Aerosystem (SAE) for A350 XWB (Xtra Wide Body) and B787 Dreamlinear.

This event was also used as a platform to showcase the CTRM AC’s latest and upcoming technologies. Among technologies that were explained and highlighted were Out of Autoclave (OOA) Technology (Quickstep), Same Qualified Resin Transfer Molding Process (SQRTM), Auto Tape Laying Machine (ATL) and Nano Composites.

We took the opportunity to highlight on our ongoing competitiveness in Lean Programs. Key elements of Lean tools such as quality, effort, involvement of all employees, willingness to change, and effective communication were also emphasized to show that the company is rapidly moving towards becoming a competitive industry player in the challenging world.

Three areas within CTRM AC had been emphasized during the event. They were Aerostructure, Composites Testing Laboratory and Engineering & Development. Brochures and slides presentations about those areas were created to provide further explanation. For example the Composites Testing Laboratory, the Joint-Venture (JV) that will be made with Composites Testing Laboratory (CTL) of Eire Composites Teo from Ireland was highlighted.  The capability of test lab in mechanical and physico-chemical tests was also highlighted, and test samples from the lab were brought and displayed at the booth. A microscope was also brought to showcase the cross section at our test panels.

Trade Visitors

We received a lot of trade visitors at our booth, either locally or internationally. Among the visitors were Trade Representatives from Russian Federation, AirTaxi-Service of Russia, France Directorate for International Development, Curtis Wright Flow Control Company of US, SAAB of Sweden, Department of Defense for Australian Government, PT. Dirgantara Indonesia, and Royal Brunei Technical Services to be named but a few. As for local trade visitors we received numerous delegations from government agencies such as Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MiGHT), Ministry of Science & Technology (MOSTI), aerospace and marine manufactures such as Boustead Heavy Industry, SMEA Malaysia, Sapura, ATSB, and from higher education institutions such as UniKL, UTM, and UPM.

As for overall achievement everyone was so passionate and work hard in representing the subsidiary throughout the event. We believe this event was a big success for CTRM AC. We got a lot of new and valuable experience, built a wide range of potential customer’s network and learned to understand each other better.

As-salaamu'alaikum,

Alhamdulillah - I participated in this motivation program for teens "Program Anak Pintar Soleh" organized by Astac Training & Consultancy. This program was held at Masjid an Najihin, Padang Sebang, Melaka from 12-13 December 2009 and was lead by Dr. Azmi Mohd Shah. MashaAllah it was quite a while since I involved in this kind of program, and to be as a facilitator was quite challenging as well. I arrived at the masjid around 620pm, after accidentally went to Pulau Sebang (which is actually quite a far away from Padang Sebang itself). There were around 120 teens registered for that program - mashaAllah.

I noticed that the masjid was stunningly beautiful. The interior was beautifully designed and 6-7 air conds were equipped around the prayer hall!

The program started at 6pm with a briefing. Then we had our dinner and proceed for salatul maghrib. After that Dr. Azmi gave a short lecture, basically talking about the Muslim identity and issues with our young Muslims nowadays. We then prayed the Isha' prayer and after that we had the main module designed for them - Anak Pintar Soleh. The module lasted for 2 hours =p

At 3:30am we woke up for the qiyaamulayl. We had another short lecture after salatul fajr, and had a breakfast together.

I really enjoyed this program. InshaAllah hopefully I can be more involved with this kind of program in the future. I enjoyed talking with our youth, to share with them my experiences, and to understand their thoughts as well.

You may know someone who is studying for final exams these days. Final exams are always a nice time to focus on the true exam of life.

How to get an A Grade final Exam?
By Muhammad Alshareef

1. In school, you can often redo your exam if you fail. In the hereafter, if one fails there is no going back.

2. In school, you often do not know what questions will be asked. In the hereafter, there are only 3 questions: Who is your Lord? What is your Deen? And who is this man who was sent to you? But the answers are answers you live by.

3. In school, we stay up at night to prepare for the exam the next day. So too in Allah's exam, we should be staying up in night prayers.

4. In school, we pray and hope and work for an outstanding mark. So too should be our attitude towards Allah's exam.

5. In school, when we get a great mark, we erupt with happiness. So too will the believers erupt in happiness when they get their books in their right hands. Work for it.

6. In school, when we get a bad mark, sadness can be seen on our faces, and we dislike to face others. So too in the hereafter. Protect yourself from that.

7. During a school exam, you cannot ask anyone for help. In the hereafter, you can prepare from now to get assistance from Allah's Messenger, the Quran, and other ways of intercession.

8. In school, when exam time draws near, we banish distractions to focus on what is really important. In Allah's exam, isn't death within 1 heart beat? Banish distractions and focus.

9. In school, until exam results come out, we worry about the result. In Allah's exam, we don't know what our result will be, so we spend our days in hope and worry until the results come out.
