pantun syawal

i want to share a 'pantun' sms to me from a very special person...thnx for texting it!

sungguhku diuji empat perkara,
iblis, dunia, nafsu dan syahwat.
selalu menjeratku dalam binasa,
sedarlah aku sebelum terlewat.


though at first, it seems like "how is it related to eid?"
but when you read between the lines...it is a reminder, that even though syawal has come...and all those forbidden things in ramadhan has been lifted...you should be aware that starting first syawal...all those "four" stuffs are eager to pull you down-

a portion from our beloved prophet in his last sermon (khutbah al wida')
"beware of satan for the safety of your religion. he has lost all hope of that he will be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things."

*mid syawal...and the moon is getting more prettier every night



*The pantun is a Malay poetic form,In its most basic form the pantun consists of a quatrain which employs an abab rhyme scheme. A pantun is traditionally recited according to a fixed rhythm and as a rule of thumb, in order not to deviate from the rhythm, every line should contain between eight and 12 syllables. "The pantun is a four-lined verse consisting of alternating, roughly rhyming lines. The first and second lines sometimes appear completely disconnected in meaning from the third and fourth, but there is almost invariably a link of some sort. Whether it be a mere association of ideas, or of feeling, expressed through assonance or through the faintest nuance of a thought, it is nearly always traceable"
