a nice story from a book entitled "HEALING BODY & SOUL" by Amira Ayad i got from the last maarad
dis is in it's epilogue (but i havnt actually finished the whole book yet)
I want to end with a little story happened long ago when the Muslim army was fighting against the Persian Empire. The Muslims were defeated in the first few rounds of battle, so their commander, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (r.a) gathered his men to reevaluate their resources and position. All seemed under control: the Muslim army had a great number of fighters and a good resources; so what was the problem then? Sa'd concluded that this defeat must be a punishment from Allah for their sins, so he ordered each of them to repent and ask Allah for forgiveness and check for any misdeed that he had committed or any act of worship he had forgotten to perform. All the men were good Muslims, with sincere intentions and the true will and power to fight the enemies. Still, he insisted, they must have neglected some of Allah or His Prophet's orders. They wen through the obligatory and the non-obligatory acts of worship, and then through the entire Sunnah of the Prophet to find their weak point. Finally, Sa'd realised that they had been neglecting the Sunnah of siwak. They were not using siwak as our Prophet used to do before prayer. How strange it seems: men at the battlefront who thought that their weak point was that they were not brushing their teeth five times a day!
Sa'd ordered for the siwak sticks to be distributed to each Muslim in the army and asked them all to follow our Prophet's Sunnah. No one argued, no one questioned his commander's reasoning; no one asked what siwak had to do with winning or loosing the battle against the strongest army on the face of the earth.
Meanwhile, the Persian army had sent spies to check on the Muslim's camp. The Persians at that time looked upon the Arabs as primitive, uncivilized nation, so when the spies reached the Arabs' camp and saw them rubbing their teeth with sticks, they failed to understand what was going on, until one of them shouted: "they are sharpening their teeth to eat us alive; they are cannibals!"
The Persian spies ran back to their camp and the news spread like wildfire. The whole army panicked, and most of the Persian fortresses were abandoned and fell easily into the Muslim's hands.
Do you see the moral of the story? Do not underestimate even seemingly insignificant orders form Allah and His Messenger (s.a.w) (the Qur'an and the Sunnah), even if you do not understand the wisdom behind it.
der...funny n wise isnt it?
i copied word by word from the book n overall the book is very interesting to spent ur free time...:)

i used to be very afraid of the lightning...extremely terrified!!!...n sumhow i found it kind of embarrassing...(rase cam penakut sngt...thunder pon cuak...lol)
one of my classmates used to force me out into the corridor evrytime it's raining cats n dogs..."You must learn to overcome your fear!!"...haha...but i jz cant...due to certain unpleasant events involving the lightning...
but today! hurm... i dunno why...listening to the thunder makes me recall the moments of thunder fearing in Malaysia...n i realized...I AM NOT AFRAID OF ITS SOUND ANYMORE!!!!
this calls for a celebration!!! LOL
-but i dare say dis method does not work to get rid of spectrophobia spectrophobia
rmmbr alicia key's song "wut goes around comes around wut goes up must come down..."
the statement up there, i believe is describing dat we anticipate failure, we fear it wud happen... well, u see~ we are not just tested with difficulties n hardship...pleasure and happiness is also a test
In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good. And to Us you will be returned.
(surah al anbiya' verse 35)
elizabeth gilbert here describes how a success is not actually quite welcoming to these "geniuses"
i pardon for the "oley oley" info at the end of this speech...i also jz knew it the moment she mentioned it... but what is important is to take what is beneficial for us ryte?
so another lesson...history of evrything is crucial to be studied (but i dunno how to b interested in studying history..huhu)
what i conclude here...we humans can't run from the fact that we believe in God...we need to believe that there is a higher power that controls us...means we need a religion!...so, why need to make up assumptions or imagine a dobby if truth has been told since 1400 yrs ago?
ryte?

a lovely blessed february i am experiencing ryte now...:D (full of happy endings n beginnings...hehe)
last Thursday was our last ENT(1) class b4 holiday... d'dr dat day, during discussing the complications of otitis media(2) gave me a very intriguing statement (which made me google it up) - he said:
"did you know why temporal(3) bone is called temporal? bcoz it comes from a latin word named tempus meaning time those people noticed from the temporal bone came the first sign of aging. which is the grey hair, therefor it indicates time... and mastoid(4), because it looks like the nipple of breast."
hmm...so they r named because of their character then...okay, frontalis(5) is logic becoz it is the front most situated...occipital(6) becoz it is the furthest...wut about parietal(7)?
so i start googling...here's the anatomy of skull for those who havnt learn them yet or already forget our 2nd yr's anatomy lectures
i found it helps me to imagine n in ENT intro also.. so, the result of my diction's google =
temporal1
adj
1.of or relating to time
2.of or relating to secular as opposed to spiritual or religious affairsthe lords spiritual and temporal
3.lasting for a relatively short time
4.(Linguistics / Grammar)Grammarof or relating to tense or the linguistic expression of time in generala temporal adverb

1.(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Anatomy) (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Biology)AnatomyBiologyof, relating to, or forming the walls or part of the walls of a bodily cavity or similar structurethe parietal bones of the skull
2.(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Anatomy) of or relating to the side of the skull
3.(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) (of plant ovaries) having ovules attached to the walls
4.(Social Science / Education)USliving or having authority within a college
n
(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Anatomy) a parietal bone
therefor the parietal bone is named parietal because of its character of being a wall to the brain...well, technically all the skull bones are walls of the brain ...hehe...mayb bcoz it didnt have any other peculiar character (angkat bahu...)
interesting ryte how stuffs are named? wut about ourselves?...why are we named like wut our names are? when people call out our names evryday...it acts like a du'a...so dat we become like wut we are called... so the moral of the story - find a meaningfully nice nickname~
