You should date a girl who reads

Jumpa quote ni dan bestkan kalau macam ni(berangan je lebih..hehe)...

Quote by Rosemarie Urquico,

"If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She'll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable." 

Dan ada lagi satu,yang ni panjang sikit...Tapi ayat dia yang last sekali best..ehehe

"You should date a girl who reads.

Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who read understand that all things must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes."

Maksud saya lepas kahwin nanti bolehlah ya!

OK..dah,bai....Assalamualaikum ^^

The Ideal Muslimah

A true Muslimah is the one who alert,knowledgeable,true to herself as well as to others .She is righteous and faithful.She balances her obligation to Allah,her parents and children.She Quranic example to follow,woman who examples to follow are the she -companion of the Messenger PBUH.Her ideals are the wives of the Messenger PBUH..

The Ideal Muslimah by Dr.Muhammad Ali al-Hashimi...

Alim ulama dan Teman Sejati.

    Pada zaman pemerintahan Khalifah Harun Ar-Rasyid,dikhabarkan khalifah telah mengutus seorang pesuruhnya menjemput seorang ulama untuk "beramah-tamah pada malam hari.Setibanya pesuruh tersebut dirumah ulama tersebut,pesuruh mendapati ulama tersebut sedang menelaah buku-buku yang berselerakan di sekitarnya.


Berkatalah pesuruh itu kepada ulama,"Paduka Amirul Mukminin memanggil tuan."


Ulama itu menjawab,"Saya sedang bercakap dengan sekumpulan alim ulama dan orang pintar.Setelah selesai nanti saya datang."


Oleh itu disampaikanlah pesuruh itu jawapan ulama itu kepada sang khalifah.
Khalifah lalu bertanya"Siapakah golongan alim ulama dan orang pintar itu?"


Pesuruh menjawab,"Sebetulnya saya sendiri tidak melihat seorang jua pun dekatnya."


"Kalau demikian dia,suruh dia datang sekarang bagaimana pun jua!"perintah Khalifah


Setelah ulama itu datang,bertanyalah khalifah,"Siapakah orang pintar yang sedang bercakap-cakap dengan tuan?"


Ulama itu menjawab:

"Mereka ialah teman yang tidak bosan-bosannya 

kita mendengar perbicaraannya.Setia,dapat 

dipercayai mahupun dibalik pembelakangan 

atau sedang berhadap-hadapan.Apabila kita 

bersendirian dengan mereka,adalah sebaik-baik 

katanya menjadi.Penawan hati untuk melengkapkan

 duka nestapa dan amat menolongku.Mereka 

jelaskan kepada kita peristiwa yang telah berlalu,

mereka cerdaskan akal kita,haluskan pekerti 

kita dan meninggikan pendapat dan buah fikiran

 kita.Tidak akan timbul syak wasangka dalam 

angan-angan kita,ataupun kebimbangan akan 

perlakuan yang tidak senonoh,atau umpat cela,

atau perbuatan yang tidak baik.Kalau anda 

menamakan mereka orang yang telah mati 

anda tidak akan salah,atau anda menamakan 

mereka orang yang masih hidup pun anda betul juga. "

(Shahrom TM Sulaiman,2003)

Mendengar jawapan itu,maka mengertilah khalifah yang dimaksudkan dengan orang-orang pintar itu ialah buku.Oleh itu,tidaklah khalifah marah atas kelambatan ulama itu.


*Titipan dari Ada Apa Dengan Buku;Shaharom TM Sulaiman,Suriati Shamsuddin.


*Sumber ilmu itu ialah mendengar,melihat,membaca,berfikir dan dari hati

______________________________

Seorang teman akrab sekalipun mungkin boleh memutuskan hubungan,tetapi jika teman itu adalah sebuah buku dia semestinya menjadi teman yang setia.Penuh dengan keunggulan,keunikan dan punyai karismanya yang tersendiri.Itulah hebatnya pantulan kalimah iqra' !

Cahaya atas cahaya

Al-quran adalah cahaya, dan cahayanya mendidik kita untuk memandang sesuatu itu dengan pandangan yang baru

Moga ia menjadi syafaat buat kita

Penolong kita di Mahkamah Mahsyar kelak !!!

20 Simple Ways to Become a Bookworm

If reading more books is a goal of yours, there are some

easy and simple things you can do to encourage a life-long reading habit. Follow these tips, and you'll soon have a list of books you've read that goes on forever.

1. Make it a habit. If you can install a new habit to read at certain times of the day, no matter what, even if it's just for 10 minutes at a time, you'll end up reading a ton of books over the course of a year. For example, make it a habit to read with breakfast and lunch, when you use the bathroom, and when you go to bed. If you do 10 minutes at a time, you'll have 40 minutes a day, or nearly 5 hours a week. If you ride public transit, read while you're waiting and while you're on the bus or train. Make it a daily habit, and it will add up. This is the surest way to read more books.
2. Keep a reading list. Either in a notebook, on a wiki, or some other document on your computer, keep a simple list of books you want to read. Add to it every time you hear of a good book, or read a good review. This running list will keep you motivated keep reading more.
3. Keep a book log. Along those lines, also keep a log of all the books you read. If you want to be detailed, write the book title, author, the date you started and the date you completed it. Even more, you can write a short note about how you liked the book. If all of that's too much trouble, just keep a list of the books you read and maybe the date you finished them.
4. Set a challenge. Make a challenge for yourself -- say one book a week, or 40 books in a year. Something achievable, but a challenge. Make it a public challenge, announcing it on your blog or to friends and family, and give everyone your weekly progress report. You'll push yourself to meet the challenge, and find ways to do it.
5. Cut back on online reading. If you're reading a lot of stuff online, you probably don't have enough time to read books. If you cut your online reading by just 30 minutes (I'm not saying to ditch it completely), you'll have time to read for half an hour a day. That adds up.
6. Join a book club. Most areas have some sort of book club -- look online, in your local newspaper, or at your local library for a book club near you. If you can't find one, organize one with friends, family and neighbors who are interested in books. A book club will get you motivated to read, and help you find recommendations for great books, and perhaps an easy way to swap good books with people in your area.
7. Join an online forum. Along those lines, there are many online forums for book lovers -- just do a Google search. Join one, participate, list your favorite books and authors, read those of others, talk books. It's a lot of fun, and you'll get support to form your reading habit.
8. Limit TV watching. If you watch hours of television every day, you won't be able to read many books. Cut your TV time in half (for example), to free up time for reading.
9. Join Bookmooch. Try Bookmooch for a great way to swap books. List the books you're willing to mail to people, and then list the books you want. If someone requests a book, you mail it at your cost. If someone has a book you want, you get it mailed to you for free.
10. Carry your book always. This is one of the most important tips if you want to read more books: anywhere you go, bring your book with you. If you leave the house, put your book in the car. That way, if you have any waiting time, you've got your book to keep you company.
11. Find inspiration. Read blogs by book lovers. There are many. These book lovers will describe books in such as way as to make you want to read them. They'll talk about their favorite authors. It's inspiring, and it'll motivate you to read.
12. Get great recommendations. Find others who love the books you love, and see what else they recommend. A great way to do that is through Library Thing, a service where you list the books you own, give them ratings and reviews, and get recommendations for other books.
13. Read books you can't put down. While you may be ambitious and want to tackle all of the classics, if those go a little too slowly for you, put them down and come back to them later. Instead, find a real page-turner. It doesn't matter what kind of book it is, as long as it's a book you love to read and can't put down. For me, that's writers like Stephen King and John Grisham and Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum or Sue Grafton. I'll stay up all night reading one of their books.
14. Always have books to read. You should never finish a book and not have another book lined up. I like to have at least 5 lined up, so I don't have to worry about it. Have your lineup of books stacked to one side of your bookshelf, so you always know what's on deck.
15. Read books that make you laugh. Humorous books are good books, in my opinion. They're fun, and they can poke fun at some of the things we normally take seriously. And they make you want to read them. Find a funny author and go with him. My favorites are Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett and Mark Twain and David Sedaris.
16. Connect with your passions. What do you love, and what do you love to do? If you read about it online, it's probably something you love to read about. Think about what those topics are, and find a good fiction novel about it. You're more likely to keep reading if you love the topic.
17. Get into a series. Once I hit on a book I love, if it's part of a series, I try to read the whole series (if I can find all the books). Start to finish is best, but sometimes it doesn't matter. Series are a great way to keep reading.
18. Finish your book before starting another. One bad habit I broke a few years ago was starting one book, putting it down, and then starting another, thinking I'll read them both at the same time. It doesn't usually work. I often don't come back to the first book, and usually don't finish it. If you start a book and it's a dud, go ahead and abandon it. But if it's a keeper, try to finish it before moving on.
19. Become a library lover. There's no better resource for book lovers than the local public library. It's full of great books, new and old, and it's free. It's free! Go there, and enjoy the time you spend there.
20. Get to love used book stores. Second best, next to the library, are your local used bookstores. There aren't a lot of them in my area (just one, actually, not counting a thrift shop), so it is one of my favorite places to go. I usually take a stack (or a box) of my old books, sell them, and use the credit to get a bunch of new ones.

Dakwah bergerak

Sebuah buku yang diletakkan didalam perpustakaan boleh di baca oleh seorang individu sahaja.Tetapi seseorang muslim yang sejati adalah buku yang boleh dibaca oleh semua orang.ke mana sahaja dia berjalan maka dia sebenarnya adalah dakwah yang bergerak...

~assyahid imam Hassan albanna

Ilmu,dunia tanpa sempadan.

Saya mengenali buku sejak kecil,mungkin terikut-ikut dengan kak Long yang suka sangat membaca.Every time,everywhere..hehe.Kak Long sangat suka membaca terutamanya novel-novel Inggeris.Jadi kami adik-adik pun terikut sama.Tapi saya tak de la obses macam kak long,saya baca buku-buku Melayu je.

Tapi itu dulu,waktu kecil membaca menjadi hobi masa lapang selepas hobi merayau-rayau dan bermain(macam-macam permainan,budak kampung

katakan).Tapi sekarang membaca jadi kegemaran,masa sibuk-sibuk pun cari juga peluang untuk belek-belek buku waima sebelum tidur atau masa-masa menunggu,menunggu orang,menunggu bas dan lain-lain.

Ya,sebab sekarang baru sedar pentingnya membaca dan mengkaji..huhu

Tak rugi pun kita membaca,memanglah banyak masa kena korban tapi banyak faedahnya.Berbaloi-baloi :) ...

Dunia bahkan jadi lebih luas,lebih indah. Kan?

Dalam buku Petua Menjadi Manusia Pintar Dan Cerdas,melalui membaca atau menelaah kitab,kita sebenarnya dapat mengasah fikiran,menyedarkan diri dari kelalaian,menghibur dalam kesepian,mengangkat kejahilan,memperoleh pengalaman ,menghilangkan rasa jemu,membuang kebosanan,menguatkan ingatan,melapangkan dada,meluruskan yang bengkok,memfasihkan lidah,menzahirkan hujah,membetulkan kesalahan,mencegah daripada kekosongan,memelihara daripada penyelewengan,menambah pengalaman,memahami hikmah,menghibur daripada kehilangan,meringankan kesakitan,menundukkan atas kemuliaan,mencegah daripada dosa,menarik pengajaran,mendatangkan keajaiban dan mengambil faedah-faedah daripadanya.

Nah...mau apalagi ^^

Tapi sebagai seorang Muslim kita bukan sahaja mau menjadi seorang pakar dunia tapi juga pakar akhirat.Apalah erti kehidupan andai dunia yang dikendong disia-siakan,akhirat pula keciciran.

Sebenarnya banyak lagi faedah yang kita dapat,antaranya:

1.Mendapat dunia dan akhirat.

“Sekiranya kamu inginkan dunia,hendaklah dengan ilmu.Sekiranya kamu inginkan akhirat,hendaklah dengan ilmu.Sekiranya kamu inginkan kedua-duanya,hendaklah dengan ilmu.”-Imam Syafie.

2.Membaca adalah jalan menuju kepada Allah.

Imam Al-Ghazali dalam Minhaj al-Abidin menyatakan,perjalanan seorang hamba menuju kepada Allah,adalah tahap ilmu.Kemudian baru menyusul tahap taubat. ^^

3.Semakin banyak kita membaca semakin banyak tabir kejahilan yang tersingkap yang membelenggu akal dan jiwa manusia daripada mengenal Allah.

Ya,semakin banyak kita membaca semakin jahil kita akan rasakan T_T

4.Membentuk jiwa hamba yang taat pada Allah disamping menjalankan tugas sebagai khalifah Allah yang sebenarnya.

5.Ilmu melindungi diri kita dan memelihara kita dari kemusnahan tidak seperti harta yang terpaksa dilindungi dan dijaga.

6.Sumber kepada hidayah,ilmu,iman,dan takwa.Hanya dengan ini sahaja,umat islam akan terbangun akal,emosi,rohani,dan jasmani.

Inilah hikmah disebalik membaca (Iqra’) !!!

Subhanallah...hebat dan luasnya ilmu Allah,kan?

Mengapa menulis?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

Ini adalah blog kedua saya

Dan saya sebenarnya baru belajar membaca dan menulis(dalam erti kata sebenar).insyaallah akan berkongsi apa yang saya baca.Satu kerugian sekiranya kita mempunyai ilmu tetapi menyembunyikannya...betul tak?

lagi pun lepas baca je pastu saya akan lupa..

bila nak review balik tak tau dah buku mana satu..

Jadi...seperti kata Saidina Ali

"Ikatlah ilmu dengan menuliskannya"...

Sebenarnya pembaca yang berjaya adalah pembaca yang mengamalkan ilmunya dan Ingat apa saja yang kita baca akan menjadi hujah..

Saya berharap Allah akan memberkati usaha kecil saya ini,membaca menulis dan berkongsi dengan orang lain...

Memetik daripada kata-kata sahabat Nabi s.a.w,Abdullah Bin Mas'ud...

Beliau berkata

"Apabila ada diantara kami mempelajari 10 ayat al-Quran,beliau tidak akan beralih ke ayat lainnya.Ini sehingga beliau mengetahui maknanya secara mendalam dan mengamalkannya."

MasyaaAllah..hebatnya mereka!

dan seperti kata Dr. Aidh bin Abdullah Al-Qarni

Jika engkau MELIHAT seseorang yang MEMILIKI sebuah PERPUSTAKAAN yang BESAR, maka JANGANLAH engkau TERGESA-GESA untuk MENGANGGAP dia sebagai orang yang BAIK sehingga engkau MELIHAT dengan MATA KEPALA sendiri AMALNYA, KEISTIQAMAHANNYA, dan apakah ILMU-ILMU yang ada dalam PERPUSTAKAANNYA itu BERPENGARUH POSITIF dan BERMANFAAT bagi dirinya.

Bagiku, seseorang yang hanya MEMILIKI sebuah MUSHAF Al-Quran yang selalu dia [BACA dan] RENUNGI dan AMALKAN ISINYA adalah jauh LEBIH BAIK daripada seseorang yang MEMILIKI RIBUAN JILID BUKU yang selalu MENYIBUKKAN DIRINYA namun TAK BISA MEMBERIKAN PENGARUH POSITIF dan MANFAAT kepada dirinya.

dan PALING PENTING jangan lupa baca dan Tadabbur al-Qur'an ^^
