amazing kalimah of Bismillah
BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHIM
one day abu hurairah r.a., one of companions to our beloved prophet Muhammad peace be upon him met a syaitan (devil) from a mukmin (a believer)
and a syaitan (devil) from a musyrik (non-believer)
syaitan from a non-believer appeared healthy, fresh, neat and well-clothed
in contrast comparison, syaitan from a mukmin appeared thin, scrawny, haggard and naked
syaitan from a non-believer who is fat and healthy asked the syaitan from a mukmin,
“why do you seem upset and in such a sorry state? why do you look extremely malnourished, unkempt and in a state of undress?”
the unkempt syaitan replied,
i am tasked to influence and seduce a mukmin who often recites the dzikir and always utter BISMILLAH, mentioning the name of Allah
whenever he eats and drinks he says BISMILLAH, mentioning the name of Allah
therefore i am always hungry and thirsty
when the mukmin applies oil on his hair he mentions the name of Allah,
thus i become unkempt
and when the mukmin puts on his clothings he too mentions the name of Allah!
hence i am naked still!!
the fat syaitan responded,
if such is the case, i am truly the one benefiting
i am with a non-believer who never mentions the name of Allah even once
during meals, he does not mention Allah’s name so i get to eat with him till i am full and satisfied
when drinking, he again does not mention the name of Allah,
so i get to drink with him till i am quenched of my thirst
when he applies oil on his hair and does not mention the name of Allah
i too apply the oil on him and on myself
thus i am always prim and proper
when he puts on his clothes, I too wear his clothes along with him for never once did he mention the name of Allah whilst doing the things he does

teringat waktu kuliah bonda tempohari kat al-mukminin,
"pahala diberikan bagi hambaNya yang menyebut ayat-ayat suci al-quran"
pahala diberikan ketika sebutan huruf ke huruf (every single huruf yang dibaca)
bukan kalimah ke kalimah (not by phrase)
cuba cubalah kita renungkan limpahan kurnia dan pahala yang Allah Ya Rabbi berikan
kan masyaAllah, masyaAllah, masyaAllah tu.......
that is why kita di suruh membaca BISMILLAH pada setiap perkara yang kita lakukan
fikirkan lah,
di dalam BISMILLAH sahaja mengandungi 21 huruf
ianya bersamaan dengan 21 pahala
cuba bayangkan kalau kita amalkan membaca BISMILLAH, 21 kali ketika hendak tidur
21 x 21 = 441
441 pahala telah tercatit pada diri kita,
just by lying still on our comfy bed and doing nothing
cannot say anything more, tak mampu........asal cakap jer airmata ni nak berderai,
dek terpukul oleh kekhilafan diri sendiri
astaghfirullahhal'adzim
allazi la ila ha illa
huwal hayyul qayyum wa a tu bu ilaik
setakat ini saja buat masa nie
mintak maaf kalau ada kesilapan
jazakillah khairan my loves
