Sabar Itu Akan Selalu Indah

Kehidupan manusia di dunia ini tidak akan terlepas dari dua hal, yaitu nikmat dan musibah. Begitu banyaknya nikmat yang diberikan oleh Allah, namun terkadang datang musibah yang berupa …

Sabar dalam ketaatan kepada Allah meliputi tiga hal, yaitu,

1. Sabar sebelum melakukan ketaatan tersebut, yaitu dengan niat yang benar, ikhlas dan bersih dari riya’.
2. Sabar ketika menjalankan ketaatan, yaitu dengan tidak lalai dalam melakukannya dan juga tidak bermalas-malasan.
3. Sabar setelah beramal, seseorang tersebut hendaknya tidak menjadi ta’jub dengan dirinya dan menampakkan apa yang ia punya dalam rangka sum’ah dan riya`. Karena hal tersebut hanya akan menghapus amalan, pahala dan pengaruh-pengaruh yang seharusnya dia dapatkan. (Naḥwu Akhlāqi as-Salāfi : 105)

Hikmah dibalik musibah

Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda, “Apabila Allah menghendaki hamba-Nya mendapatkan kebaikan maka Allah segerakan baginya hukuman di dunia. Dan apabila Allah menghendaki keburukan untuknya maka Allah akan menahan hukumannya sampai akan disempurnakan balasannya kelak di hari kiamat.” (HR. Tirmidzi, hadits hasan gharib, lihat as-Shahihah [1220])

MAC MATTE LIPSTICK

A matte lipstick that would not dry out your lips or make fine lines prominent. Available in a range of bold as well as pastel shades to suit all occasions. Waterproof and smudge proof.

Packaging: The lipstick comes in a classy black metal packaging similar to other lipsticks of this brand. The metal body along with metal cap is quite sturdy. The brand name is embossed on the cap while it is printed on the body; I find this really classy! The cap closes with a satisfying click and won’t come off in your handbag.

Texture: The lipstick is quite creamy while you apply but sets to a matte finish which is not drying at all. The lipstick applies smoothly and I did not experience any tugging or pulling.

Shade: Tropic tonic is a pure coral shade with light pink undertones. Imagine combining milk with orange juice; the colour which you would get is this shade :p DITTO! I said milk because the shade has some white undertones too along with pink which makes it look a bit chalky, and I am loving it! The colour looks quite orange on the lipstick but turns out to be a little lighter on the lips due to its chalky-pink undertone.

How I use and staying power: I exfoliate my lips and apply a lip balm first. I wipe off the lip balm after 5 minutes and begin lining the edges with the lipstick carefully; then fill in. This lipstick is best applied directly because you may find it tough to apply it with a lip liner as it dries quickly. The colour is quite pigmented and I love it with single swipe, you can build it up for a darker shade.

 Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask

Anything with activated charcoal is going to work wonders for your skin. It's excellent at drawing out impurtities and making your skin feel incredibly clean.  

As the product claims to be a mask, applied it as so. Upon application, it made skin feel warm, but not uncomfortable. Don't be alarmed if it does that to you as well, it just means the activated charcoal is working! This product left my skin feeling super soft and rejuvenated!

The biggest problem with this product is that it's labeled as a mask when it's really more of an exfoliating scrub. It's also quite messy, it had to apply it over the sink. I'd recommend you do the same as well, otherwise the black sugar will get everywhere.

CHINESE NEW YEAR ACTIVITY

Assalamualaikum, aku nak cerita aktiviti yang aku buat sepanjang cuti raya cina... soooo masa dua-tiga hari lepas balik dari kmk tu aku mereput dulu kat rumah, bangun tido pastu subuh, lepas subuh tido sampai kena marah ngn mama abah baru bngn nak mandi (mcm tu layan anak dara sorang yg ada kat rumah 😆), pegang buku pon sekejap ja selebihnya merapu tngk fon, tngk tv, tngk muka buruk sndiri kat cermin and ajak bff gaduh 💁.

So 19 haribulan, pagi tu siap2, abah beli breakfast then abah hntr pi KTM. It just take 30 minutes from SP to Alor Setar...aduhhh mau bergetar lutut berdiri dalam train, biasa la tak pernah ada experience. we had do much fun, tngk wayang, makan McD, jalan2 cari baju tapi tak beli pon😆. Then pukul 6 mcm tu dah gerak balik...nasib baik sampai awai sikittttt dari jadual sipi2 nak kena tinggai ngn train and once again kena berdiri. 

Seharian bersuka ria kat Alor Setar tiba2 mama abah kta esok nak bawak vacation, just a simple vacation, pagi tu baru kalut packing baju, pukul 12 baru bertolak dari rumah pi Taiping.

Sultan Salah ud Din Ayubi - The Great Warrior of Islam

Conqueror, ruler, brave & courageous leader; Muslim world has ever seen, none other than Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi. He was the ruler of the states of Egypt and Syria. He is known for his bravery battles that he fought against the Christian world and defeated them with courage and valor and conquered the state of Jerusalem.

History is full of his greatest achievements, but here, we are highlighting his two major achievements that are recognized not only by Muslim world but also his enemies. One was the Wars against Crusaders and second was, the Capture of Jerusalem.

Capture of Jerusalem

In July 1187 Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi captured most of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. On July 4, 1187, at the Battle of Hattin, he faced the combined forces of Guy of Lusignan, King Consort of Jerusalem and Raymond III of Tripoli. In this battle alone the Crusader army was largely annihilated by the motivated army of Salahuddin. It was a major disaster for the Crusaders and a turning point in the history of the Crusades. Salahuddin captured Raynald de Châtillon and was personally responsible for his execution in retaliation for his attacking Muslim caravans. 

Mannerism & Legacy of Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi Salah-ud-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub known as Saladin in the Western World, this great Muslim sultan is widely revered as the ideal of a warrior who is fierce in battle and generous to his enemies. Saladin used to perform the five obligatory prayers on time, along with the supererogatory prayers. He never prayed except in congregation, and he never delayed a prayer. He used to always have an imam with him, but if the imam was not present, he would pray behind any pious scholar who might be sitting with him. He never quit a prayer except when he slipped into a come for three days before his death.

He would spend most of his money on Sadqa (optional charity), and he never possessed enough wealth that would have required him to pay Zakat (obligatory alms). Although he always wanted to perform Hajj, he was occupied in jihad, so he did not have enough money to perform Hajj, and he died without performing it. He never spoke badly about anyone and never allowed anyone to do so in his presence. He never uttered a rude word and never used his pen to humiliate a Muslim. Ibn Shaddad also relates, “When English King Richard the Lion heart, Saladin’s archenemy, fell ill, Saladin asked about his health and sent fruits and ice to him. The Crusaders, who were hungry and poverty-stricken, were astonished at that noble chivalry and mercy from their enemy.” Death Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi died at the age of 57. His estate was only 47 dirhems and one dinar. He left no real estate or any other heredity. May Allah honor him in the hereafter, lighten his grave, and raise his rank in Paradise. Amen.

10 Futuristic Technology That May Come True Very Soon

1. Jet Pack International H202

Jet pack International  are making great strides in jetpack technology H202 and H202-Z jetpacks. As the name suggests, both the H202 and H202-Z are hydrogen peroxide-fueled jetpacks that will allow uers to fly at up to 77 miles per hour at a maximum height of 250 feet.

So far thought, the higher-capacity H202-Z is only capable of a maximum flight length of 33 seconds and a maximum travel distance of 3,300 feet.

But you have to admit, it’s a start. The Jet Pack International units have great potential, and the lacking travel time and distance is outweighed by how mobile and controllable the flight is, not to mention how compact the units actually are.

The Jet Pack International H202 and H202-Z are actually currently available, albeit not commercially: you can assemble the jetpack yourself, if you have $100,000 lying around.

2. Aerofex Aero-X

If you’re a Star Wars fan, the Aerofex Aero-X, a real-life equivalent of the Star Wars speeder bike, is definitely something you’ll want to keep your eyes on. The Aero-X is the result of more than 15 years of research and development.

Powered by a water-cooled 240 horsepower engine and two large rotors, the Aero-Xcan hover at an altitude of 12 feet and at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour power. It can also carry up to 310 pounds. Think of the potential.

Also, as a result of this extended research and development period, Aerofex claims to have overcome the dangerous coupling effect that can arise due to using two rotors, ensuring that the Aero-X will be safe and easy to control.

The Aero-X is currently available for preorder for a refundable $5000 deposit. The final unit is scheduled to be available in 2017 at the price of $85,000.

3. Prosthetics With A Sense Of Touch

In March 2013, Denis Aabo Sorensen had the privilege of testing a new type of prosthetic hand, created by a group of European engineers and scientists. Unlike conventional prosthetics, the new prosthetic hand connects directly to the remaining nerves in Denis’ upper arm. This means that the “hand” has a sense of touch and is actually controllable.

Blindfolded tests showed that Denis was indeed able to differentiate between different items such as a bottle, a baseball and a mandarin orange. It also could exert different levels of pressure, allowing Denis to touch, hold or grab something.

While this prosthetic hand is indeed a great leap forward, it’s still far from ready for widespread use: the arm required electrodes to be implanted directly into Sorensen, and tests still need to be carried out to determine the durability of these electrodes.

In addition, the hand required a lot of processing power, and was hooked up to a laptop; researchers are working on making the processing computer small enough to be integrated within the implant itself.

4. TALOS “Iron Man suit”

TALOS stands for Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, a combat suit that the US Army hopes will become a reality within the next four years. The TALOS provides ballistic, shock and fire protection for Special Operations soldiers.

The aim is to provide these soldiers with better, more mobile and more versatile protection than what currently exists. The development of the TALOS suit will be a collaborative effort between universities, government agencies and corporations.

While there is yet to be a working prototype, development is proceeding at a rapid pace. The head of the US Special Operations Command, Admiral William McRaven is confident that unpowered prototypes will be ready in June. There is also the goal of testing a complete working prototype in August 2018.

Don’t expect to be able to buy this, of course, although there’s every chance that some of the tech here could eventually trickle down to civilian uses.

The Titan Arm is the work of a team from the University of Pennsylvania, and is a strength-enhancing upper-body exoskeleton that will help you lift an extra 40 pounds. Granted, it’s a far cry from the Powerloader we see – and love – in the Alien films but the Titan Arm was designed with a more humble goal in mind.

The Titan Arm is built to help rehabilitate people who’ve suffered serious arm injuries or strokes as well as provide some extra strength and protection for anyone who lifts heavy objects for a living.

To keep costs low, the Titan Arm uses 3D printing techniques allowing the prototype development costing to be reduced to £1200. This, and the fact that the developers gained extra funding by winning the 2013 James Dyson Award, means that the Titan Arm may just become a commonplace sight in the near future.

Alienware M17x R4 Gaming Laptop

Introduction, Design & Features
Svelte, 0.7-inch-thin ultrabooks might be getting the majority of laptop attention these days. But for gamers that value high-powered hardware over light weight and super-slim profiles, large, heavy gaming laptops still hold plenty of appeal.

Design

If you've spent some quality time with an Alienware laptop in the last few years, the M17x R4's design will seem very familiar. This 2012 iteration of the laptop is available in two colors, "Stealth Black" or "Nebula Red." Both options feature a "soft-touch" finish that's very good at repelling fingerprints. Of course, the iconic Alienware alien-head logo sits on the exterior lid, as well as above the keyboard, where it also functions as the power button.

The laptop looks nice enough, and it feels very solid, for the most part. But in case you haven't had any in-person experience with high-end gaming laptops, know that this is a beast of a machine. In our test configuration, it weighed in at 9.6 pounds, not counting the roughly 2-pound external power brick. It's also 1.75 inches thick, or about 2.5 times thicker than the thinnest ultrabooks, as well as over 16 inches wide and about 12 inches deep. It's certainly more portable than a desktop gaming rig like Maingear's Potenza. But even compared to other desktop-replacement laptops that aren't this powerful, the M17x R4 is thick and heavy.

Like previous Alienware laptops (as well as much of the high-end gaming competition these days), the M17x R4 sports customizable lighting. From within the Alienware Command Center software interface, you can choose among 19 different backlight colors for four different zones on the keyboard. The software also governs lighting for six other areas on the laptop, including a ring around the touch pad and the media-control buttons that sit above the keyboard. The lights can be customized to change when the laptop enters different modes, when it's unplugged from the power connector, or even when you receive new e-mail.

  

From a subdued single color to a psychedelic mix, you can adjust the Alienware's lighting as you like.

  

We like to think we're not easily impressed by pretty lights and gimmicky features. (In the gaming-hardware world, we certainly see a lot of both.) But while the M17x R4's lights aren't exactly understated, the ways you can customize them are certainly alluring.

Getting past the light show to the port selection, what the M17x has to offer is impressive, even for a laptop this large.

  

Video, audio, and USB 3.0 ports decorate the R4's left side.

  

The left edge sports a Gigabit Ethernet port; VGA, HDMI, and mini-DisplayPort outputs for connecting to external screens; two USB 3.0 ports; and four audio jacks (for S/PDIF, mic, headphone, and headset).

  

An HDMI input, seen on only the best big-screen desktops, is on the right.

  

On the right edge sits a MultiMediaCard/SD/Memory Stick card reader, above a slot-loading Blu-ray player. (A DVD±RW drive comes standard in the $1,499 base configuration.) Also over on this side are two more USB 3.0 ports and an eSATA port.

The right edge is also home to an HDMI-in port. (Note: That's an input, not an output.) HDMI-in ports are more common (and highly appreciated) on all-in-one desktops, since they let you plug in a gaming console, cable box, or other device and use the screen essentially as you would an HDTV. Considering this is a desktop-replacement rig, we also appreciate the port being offered on a laptop this large. We're not sure we'd want to rely on the Alienware M17x R4 as our sole HDTV screen, by any means, but we could certainly see users in a dorm room or a bedroom hooking up an Xbox to the laptop's 1080p screen for gaming with friends in the room, or playing those tantalizing console titles that never make it to the PC.

On the front, a pair of lighted grille areas give the design some extra retro-future flair. They may look like air intakes, but the real intakes on the M17x R4 are actually on the laptop's underside.

  

Cooling intakes for the warp core (OK, they're cosmetic, but we can pretend).

  

Features

The M17x R4's 17-inch, 1080p (1,920x1,080) screen is bright and crisp, with good vertical and horizontal viewing angles. If you game in a sunlit room, or one with overhead lighting, however, you might have to make use of those off-center viewing angles by tilting the screen a few different ways to avoid the reflectivity on the screen's glossy surface. Also, while the screen cover protects the underlying LCD panel, it flexes like plastic. With many laptops sporting glass-covered screens for quite a bit less, we'd like to see some Corning Gorilla Glass covering the M17x R4's screen here, rather than plastic.

Those looking for a true 3D gaming experience should also note that you can opt for a 120Hz LCD panel from Alienware when configuring the system, along with an Nvidia 3D Vision glasses bundle. This 3D-enabling pairing costs an extra $250. Our review unit shipped with a standard 60Hz screen that doesn't work with 3D Vision.

As for the input devices, the M17x R4's keyboard is roomy, with a full-size number pad. Despite the keyboard's underlying lighting mechanism, we noted a good bit of up/down key travel, and the keys offer some satisfying resistance when pressed, without feeling too stiff. That being said, there was a fair bit of noticeable keyboard flex in our review unit. That was about the only area where the M17x R4 didn't feel like an extremely solid, well-built PC. But even with the flex, we certainly prefer this keyboard's feel and layout to those found on most thinner, smaller laptops.

  

The keyboard is roomy and pleasant to type on, though there is a fair amount of flex.

  

The touch pad works well overall, and it supports multi-touch gestures, though it ships with this feature disabled out of the box. You'll have to dig into your mouse settings to enable individual options such as pinch-to-zoom and two-finger scrolling. The mouse buttons are pleasingly separate from the touch pad itself and from each other, offering easy left- and right-clicks.

Configuration Options

The base configuration of the Alienware M17x on Dell's site [and likely above, in our "Priced from:" onscreen pricing engine —Ed.] is priced at $1,499. For that price, you get a quad-core Core i7-3610QM CPU, 6GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M graphics. (The processor is from Intel's current "Ivy Bridge" generation, with a base clock speed of 2.3GHz.)

Our $2,599 review unit stepped those specs up to a 2.6GHz Core i7-3720QM processor and 8GB of RAM. Plus, it added a 32GB solid-state memory cache to the 500GB hard drive for speedier boot times and faster loading of frequently accessed programs. Our test configuration also shipped with a GeForce GTX 680M graphics chip, currently Nvidia's mobile gaming flagship.

If gaming without compromise is important to you, we'd stick with the GTX 680M graphics. But if you aren't often editing HD video or performing other tasks that lean heavily on the CPU, you can probably step down to the lower-end CPU (which is still a current-generation quad Core i7, after all). With the Core i7-3610QM, you won't notice much performance difference in everyday use, while saving yourself $150.

Likewise, most users should be fine with the base model's 6GB of RAM, as most of today's games can't access more than 2GB and Windows itself runs fine on 4GB. Stepping down to less RAM will save you $75 off the model we tested.
