black and white panda

changed my blog template with the pictures of panda.
love the color of its black and white skin.
so i searched for the legend of how the giant panda acquired his color. and this is the story about it.

The legends begins with the panda as a totally white bear. One day a little girl happened to run across a white panda and a leopard fighting. Trying to save the defenseless panda she charged the leopard with a large bamboo shoot, striking him over and over again. The leopard was not hurt by the bamboo and turned on the little girl instead. This act of bravery saved the panda’s life but the little girl lost hers in the struggle.

All the white pandas held a funeral in honor of the brave little girl and wore black armbands as a sign of mourning. The black dye of the armbands, moistened by many tears from the pandas, began to run. When the pandas wiped their eyes, the armband left black marks. When the pandas consoled each other by hugging, the dye left black spots on their backs. When they covered their ears to block out the sound of crying, the black dye colored their ears. 

bahasa subtitle:

Cerita ini Bermula dengan Seorang Gadis Kecil yang Berteman dengan Seekor panda Kecil. Pada awalnya Semua Panda Raksasa Bewarna Putih secara Keseluruhan (polos). Suatu Hari Gadis tersebut sedang Melewati hutan bambu Melihat Segerombolan panda Yang Sedang diserang Oleh seekor Macan tutul. Kemudian Gadis tersebut menolong panda Melawan Macan tutul tersebut dengan Batang bambu dengan memukuli macan tutul tersebut. dan Si Macan tutul Pun berhasil dikalahkan, tetapi Sang Gadis Juga mendapat Luka Yang Cukup Serius Karena Cakaran Dan gigitan Macan tutul. akrhinya Sang Gadis Pun Meninggal.

Keesokan Harinya Semua Panda Mengadakan Upacara Penguburan Sang Gadis. Untuk Menghormati Jasa Sang Gadis yang telah Mengorbankan nyawanya. Semua Panda Menggunakan Abu untuk Menghitamkan Tangan Dan kaki Mereka Sebagai Tanda Berkabung dalam upacara tersebut.
Ketika Panda Mengusap air mata Warna Hitam Melekat pada matanya, Ketika panda saling memeluk Satu Sama Lain Warna Hitam Melekat pada Punggung Mereka, Dan ketika panda menutup Telinga Mereka karena Mendengar Suara Tangis Semua panda lain, warna Hitam Pun Melekat Pada telinga Mereka.

so, what do you think?

what happens in heaven 

 

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to Allah (SWT) said in prayer are received.'

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.
The angel then said to me, 'This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.'

I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the Door of a very small station to my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing.
'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed 'How is it that there is no work going on here?' I asked.
'So sad,' the angel sighed. 'After people receive the blessings that they asked For, very few send back acknowledgments.'
And when affliction touches a man, he calls on Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove his affliction from him, he passes on as though he had never called on Us on account of an affliction that touched him; Noble Qur'an (10:12)
'How does one acknowledge Allah's (SWT) blessings?' I asked.
'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank you, Allah (SWT).'
'What blessings should they acknowledge?' I asked.

'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.'

'And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.'
Also ...

'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.'

'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world.'

'If you can attend a Mosque without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.'

'If your parents are still alive and still married ... you are very rare.'

'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair.'

Ok, what now? How can I start?
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
Acknowledgment Section: 'Thank you Allah (SWT), for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with.

a brother like that

when we heard of someone getting prizes, so often we wish that we are that someone.

but this story teach us, how we could be happier if we wish that we are the one giving prizes not the one getting prizes.

========================================================================

Shuaib received an automobile from his brother as an Eid present. On Eid day when Shuaib came out of his house, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Uncle?" he asked. Shuaib nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Eid." The boy was astounded.

"You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated. Of course Shuaib knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Shuaib all the way down to his heels. "I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Shuaib looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?" "Oh yes, I'd love that."

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, "Uncle, would you mind driving in front of my house?" Shuaib smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Shuaib was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Shuaib heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.

"There it is, little brother, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Eid and it didn't cost him a penny. And some day I'm gonna give you one just like it...then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Shop windows that I've been trying to tell you about."

Shuaib got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable ride.
 

That Eid, Shuaib learned what the RasulAllah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) meant when he had said: "love for your brother what you love for yourself".
