Do We Know What Are We Eating Everyday? Frankensteer: The Passionate Eyes
That day I had to do something with my sister. Mid-way, we got hungry.
And a Spanish proverb said it rightly,
The belly rules the mind.
It sure does!
So, naturally, we went to look for place to eat.
And as we have not decided what to eat as yet, I suggested a few eateries at our favourite mall.
'What about some grilled chicken, sugar?" I suggested while mentioning the name of the restaurant.
'Sis, havent you heard that the halal-ness of that restaurant is doubtful?' she shockingly asked me
'What? Really? Ya Allah, I didnt know!'
I kinda freaked out a little (ok, a lot!) as I have been quite a loyal customer to that place. I love the taste of the chicken and their special sauce.
But now, I dont think I am going to set foot into that place again, until and unless I am very sure that it is halal, inshaAllah.
That incident reminded me of the words of Allah when He says,
"O you people! Eat of what is on earth lawful and good!" (2:168)
Yup, our food must be Lawful AND Good.
And clearly, the place has not fulfilled my Lord's requirements as I have doubt now about the lawfulness and goodness of their food.
Talking about goodness of food, I remembered watching this gory video about cows.
Here is the synopsis,
Frankensteer is a disturbing documentary that reveals how the ordinary cow has been turned into an antibiotic-dependent, hormone-laced potential carrier of toxic bacteria, all in the name of cheaper food. Frankensteer exposes the harsh and sometimes frightening realities of how our beef gets to our tables. According to this compelling documentary, the beef industry, supported by North American government agencies and pharmaceutical companies, has engaged in an on-going experiment to create the perfect food machine. Their goal is to increase speed of production and reduce the cost of manufacture. But there is a price in producing a cheap industrial product. This benign, grazing herbivore has undergone a transformation in how it's raised, fed and slaughtered. And consumers, by and large, are totally unaware of the dangers lurking in their beloved steaks, ribs and, most especially, hamburgers. Frankensteer reveals some startling facts: Every year, 50 per cent of the total tonnage of antibiotics used in Canada ends up in livestock. And every year cattle raised in massive feedlots are routinely dosed with antibiotics even if they are not sick
And this is what the people said about the documentary,
If you want my opinion, there is something very strange in the food we eat in the US and Canada...not sure what it is but everyones getting fat and everyones getting cancer. This film doesnt put our meat system as the culprit but it does explain some very wrong things that are going on with our meat system...things that I wouldnt be surprised if in the future are proven to be very bad to our health and killing people. Actually, some of them have been proven now. The film isnt flashy but its well made and looks at things from a Canadian perspective.
Let us all remember what Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Qur'an: "O you who believe, do not forbid the good things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not exceed limits. Surely Allah does not love those who exceeds the limits." (5:90)
Think About It, my friends, let us all think before we eat... Copyright (c) Sis Zabrina 2010

Have You Tied Your Camels? An Inspirational Story about Action and Trusting God
That day I received an email from one of my darling aunts. She has been sending me emails for years, and her emails are always a joy to 'click on'.
Really!
Somehow, my aunty never fails to receive emails that carry very interesting and worth pondering content. And she always, always forwarded them to this hyperactive niece of hers.
Thanks Mak Usu*!
She reminded me of a Spanish proverb that said,
“Only an Aunt can give hugs like a mother, can keep secrets like a sister, and share love like a friend.”
She sure can and does!
And that day, she sent me this amazing video below.
SubhanAllah, amazing, isn't it?
Watching the video, especially at the cornering section, I almost stopped breathing out of nervousness!
From the look of it, it simply look impossible to do, you agree?
I personally thought that the truck driver couldn't pull it off.
But, surprise, surprise- HE DID! SubhanAllah...
With careful calculation, and one 'round of tyre' at a time, coupled with patience he did what is thought to be impossible.
Immediately, this video clip reminded me of a hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) :
One day Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it. He asked the Bedouin, "Why don't you tie down your camel?" The Bedouin answered, "I put my trust in Allah." The Prophet then said, "Tie your camel first, then put your trust in Allah" (Tirmidhi).
Indeed, tie your camel first, and then trust Allah!
The truck driver did show us that he tied his camel by carefully estimating and slowly making his way around the curve instead of just bulldozing his way through.
He made me ask myself- have I tied my camel today? Have I put in my efforts before saying I cannot do something and say it is Allah's will that I cant do it?
What about you my friends?
Have you tied your camel with the strongest rope possible before saying you leave it to Him, our Lord?
Think About It...
* Mak Usu is an honorary title given to an aunt who is the youngest in the family from both of your mum and dad's side

As Salaamu 'alaykum and peace to all,
What Did Your Words Do Today? Inspirational Story about Saying Good Words
That day I found this interesting Irish proverb that said,
Little said is easy mended; nothing said needs no mending
Of course!
Isn't it true?
The more we are able to control our tongue, the less 'hot spots' we put ourselves into.
Which means, the less explaining we need to do to others of why we said the things we said, you agree?
And this proverb, immediately spark my memory of a very famous saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said,
"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak a good word or remain silent....." [Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Al Muslim]
SubhanAllah, isn't that an amazing advice?
So simple, yet the impact if I am able to execute would be fantastic, don't you think?
And I asked myself- how do I plan to follow his (saw) advice?
I believe that each time I want to open my mouth and say something, I should definitely must pause for a bit, and ask myself these questions...
'Is this thing I want to say a good thing, or other wise? Is it backbiting? Or is it slander? Is it the truth or false? How sure am I of the 'facts' and 'information' that I want to spill out and share with others? Is there any benefit to what I am about to say, or pure crap?!'
Wow, that sure are a lot of questions to ask before I can talk, right?
But you know something, my friends?
If, and only if, we can do that and take care of our words, Allah has promised us something wonderful.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "O you who believe! Fear Allah and speak a word that is right. He will set right for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great achievement."� [Surah Al-Ahzab: 70-71]
SubhanAllah!
Fantastic, isn't it?
By taking care and guarding our words, Allah has promised us that He will set right for us our deeds, and forgive our sins, my brothers and sisters!
Do I want Allah to set right my deeds?
Of course I do!
Do I want Allah to forgive me of my sins?
Absolutely!
What do you think, my friends?
Do you think you want them too?
So, let us set today's target as to pause for a second, and evaluate our thoughts before spilling them out, agree?

The Story of Hunger Pang - Inspirational Story about Gratitude
A few days back, I had a very early dinner, too early in fact. And my very early dinner was actually also my very late lunch.
So, needless to say, halfway thru the night, at right about midnight, my tummy started growling and I have this sudden hunger pang. An extremely huge pang I must say.
Help!
Eating late midnight snack is something I really must avoid, really...
Although there is a proverb that said,
“He who goes to bed hungry dreams of pancakes.”
... I was lucky that I did not dream of pancakes, cup cakes and cakes that night, alhamdulillah
In the morning, after my Fajr prayers, I logged unto the internet and click on the link sent by one of my friends.
SubhanAllah.... after a few minutes watching the clip, I realized something.
That clip that was sent to me by my friend is really something related to my last night's episode of hunger pang.
At the end of the clip, I was very ashamed of myself.
The clip has humbled me to my feet.
It made me realized that last night as I was hungry but battling by restricting myself from eating the vast choice of food I had in my refrigerator, there are some people who are hungry as well but not because they purposely stopped themselves from eating.
They are hungry simply because there was really no food for them to eat!
Ya Allah...
And these people are from a small town in Ethiopia called Denan.
Denan is a small town with a camp for refugees and internally displaced persons located in the Ogaden region of remote eastern Ethiopia. It is not far from the border of Somalia and about 80 kilometers from Gode, the nearest town with electricity, sometimes. The Ogaden region is populated mostly by ethnic Somalis and has been devastated by drought, famine and an armed separatist movement. Temperatures soar daily to well over 110 degrees creating some of the most unbearable living conditions in all of Africa.
Here is the video clip, my friends. Let us watch to realize how lucky we are, and how bless we are to have food on our table every single day, every single night, alhamdulillah....
And let us remind ourselves His Words and His Reminders to us all,
Do you not see that God has made serviceable unto you whatsoever is in the skies and whatsoever is in the earth, and has loaded you with His bounties seen or unseen? (31:20),
And in another verse, Allah, our Lord, has told us,
He gives you of all that you ask Him; and if you reckon the bounties of God, you can never count them (14:34).
Alhamdulillah Ya Rabb... Alhamdulilah... indeed I am your grateful servant...

As Salaamu 'alaykum and peace to all,
The Story of Far Waters - Inspirational Story About Neighbor from Chinese Proverb
I was reading that day and came across this wonderful proverb from China that said,
Far waters cannot quench near fires
Needless to say, I was very much attracted to the simple yet accurate observation of the ancient Chinese, mashaAllah.
I realized too, that there are so many takes that we can do with this proverb.
But, let me focus on only one today.
Isn't it true?
That during any event of fire, 'far waters' is not so much of a help, you agree?
Well, at least not immediately...
It is the 'close-by water' or 'near-water' is the one that we can use immediately, although, of course, nowadays, we can easily transport 'far-away' water via our amazingly courageous firemen from the fire brigade, right?
But still, that will take a little bit of time, dont you think?
Thus, we should really start to learn to value the existence of these 'near-water' around us which we definitely would depend on in the event of 'fire', nauzubillah...
But then again, I suddenly realized that this same proverb could be used to understand further a hadeeth of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blesings be upon him) when he said,
"Anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day should be good to his neighbours. Anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his guest. Anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day should say what is good or be silent." (Bukhari)
No wonder Prophet Muhammad told us to be good to our neighbours, you agree, my brothers and sisters?
Because at the event of 'fire' (aka trouble), these neighbors are actually our 'nearby' water!
They would be the ones who will help us immediately, comfort us, call our 'far-away' water etc etc, true?
So, yes, the Chinese are right, Far waters cannot quench near fires- only 'near-ones' (water) can!
Let me share with you a poem written by an unknown poet entitled "A Good Neighbor"
A Good Neighbor
For your neighbors, lend a hand
Show them that you understand
They have rights we must protect
Show them kindness and respect
For your neighbors try to care
When they're troubled, help repair
Lend an ear and listen too
If they're worried, help them through
For your neighbors give a smile
Spend time with them for a while
Look after your neighbor's needs
And Allaah will reward your deeds

The Secret to Permanent Change - Inspirational Story about Being Continuous
That day I was reading an article about a special type of flower known as Amorphophallus Titanum.
And it seems that this type of flower would need a few years from the day its seed is planted before it can start blooming.
I couldn't help but imagine, the significant second by second growing that flower has to do for a couple of years just to be able to bloom once!
SubhanAllah! Amazing, isn't it?
That article reminded me of what T Harv Eker once said in one of his videoclips,
"Simple things, done over long period of time, on ongoing basis, will give you the best result and change who you are"
Do you want to know what else he said?
Well, let me share with you his video clip below:
It totally make sense to me what Harv said - not eating junk and eating more greens, if done over three or four days, that's what most people do in their lives. Done over three or four years, it will change your life. Keeping agreement, done over a day or two, will change your relationship with somebody, done over a decade, will change who you are.
T Harv Eker's few minutes clip has actually helped me get a deeper understanding of something Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) once said:
"The best loved deeds to Allah are the ones that are continuous even if they are not very many." (Bukhari and Muslim)
No wonder Allah said that the deeds He loved best are deeds that are continuous and consistently done, you agree my brothers and sisters.
And can you figure out why?
Coz deeds done continuously and consistently can definitely change our lives and who we are!

The Most Beautiful Names in the World - Inspirational Story of Allah's 99 Names
That day, as a Palestinian activist, I sent out text messages to all my friends asking for donation in terms of clothes, books, flower pots, magazines, handbags, shoes etc to be sold at a Palestinian Charity Bazaar organised by my NGO, Viva Palestina Malaysia.
As a response to that text message, one of my friends whom I have not been in touch for a long time called to ask for more information. In between the conversation, in the most chirpy and delighted voice, she told me that she just delivered a baby boy a few months back, alhamdulillah.
She reminded me of what Maya Angelou once said,
If I have a monument in this world, it is my son.
Of course, needless to say, my friend was excited to talk about her new 'monument'!
'What is his name sweety?' I asked
'Ahmad Anas...' came the answer
MashaAllah, what a beautiful name, you agree?
Talking about beautiful names, I suddenly remembered Allah the Al Mighty words, "He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper out of naught, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise." (59:24)
SubhanAllah....
Isn't that true, my brothers and sisters?
He, our Lord, has the most beautiful names ever.
Did we just say Names? Yes, Names, my dearest all.
So, how many are the names?
Here is the answer from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him),
Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one. Whoever ahsaha (enumerates them, believes in them, ponders their meanings, worships Allah by them and supplicates with them, and acts by them according to one's belief in them) will enter Paradise. (Recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim)
99 names! MashaAllah...
Do you remember what they are?
