Meraih berkat dalam perniagaan


Menceburkan diri di dalam perniagaan merupakan satu tuntutan fardu kifayah ke atas orang Islam. Pada masa kini, kewujudan usahawan-usahawan Muslim adalah diibaratkan seperti cendawan yang tumbuh selepas hujan. Nama-nama besar seperti Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhari, Dato’ Aliff Syukri Kamarzaman dan Dato’ Haji Ramly Bin Mokni adalah merupakan antara tokoh usahawan Muslim yang amat berjaya di alaf ini.
Umum mengetahui motif utama dalam perniagaan adalah untuk memperoleh keuntungan semaksima yang mungkin. Namun, dewasa ini, perniagaan sudah mempunyai satu sisi pandang yang lain di mana konsep memberi dan berlebih kurang semakin diterapkan.  Semakin lama hidup di muka bumi ini, konsep berkat lebih diutamakan oleh muslimin, bukan sahaja dalam perniagaan, bahkan dalam kehidupan seharian.
Berkat atau barakah menurut sisi pandang para ulama bermaksud, iaitu kepastian di sisi Ilahi pada suatu perkara, yang apabila pada perkara yang sedikit akan menjadi banyak dan apabila pada kepada yang banyak akan menambah manfaatnya, dan sehebat-hebat hasil keberkatan dalam seluruh perkara adalah apabila digunakan kembali untuk membawa ketaatan kepada Allah.  Manakala, dari sudut istilah, berkat membawa maksud kebaikan yang melimpah ruah yang dikurniakan Allah kepada siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya.
Salah satu cara untuk mendapat berkat di dalam perniagaan adalah dengan memperbanyakkan amalan suka memberi sepertiberzakat, menderma dan bersedekah. Menderma dan bersedekah itu menambahkan rezeki bukan mengurangkannya. Sebagaimana firman Allah di dalam Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 261 yang bermaksud:
“Bandingan (derma) orang-orang yang membelanjakan hartanya pada jalan Allah, ialah sama seperti sebiji benih yang tumbuh menerbitkan tujuh tangkai, tiap-tiap tangkai itu pula mengandungi seratus biji. Dan (ingatlah), Allah akan melipatgandakan pahala bagi sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dan Allah Maha Luas (rahmat) kurniaNya, lagi meliputi ilmu pengetahuanNya”.
Oleh itu, kita hendaklah tidak mengecilkan skop rezeki hanya kepada penilaian naik turun harta dan wang di hadapan mata. Sekiranya pemikiran dicorak sebegitu, apa yang berkurang akan dirasa sentiasa menurun. Perasaan sebegitu mungkin mengekang seseorang untuk tidak bersedekah malah merasakan berbelanja kepada ahli keluarga sendiri juga adalah merupakan suatu kerugian. Perlu diketahui bahawa rezeki di dalam Islam tidak hanya terhad kepada wang dan harta. Jangkauan rezeki meliputi perasaan kecukupan, ketenangan, kesihatan dan kesejahteraan dijauhi dari bala bencana dan kemalangan.
Sesungguhnya amalan bersedekah beserta niat yang ikhlas bukan sahaja diganjari Allah dengan pahala semata-mata, namun ianya juga mengundang pelbagai kelebihan yang meliputi dunia dan akhirat. Di antara kelebihan bersedekah adalah:
1)      Sedekah merupakan amalan yang paling baik dan disukai Allah.
2)      Amalan sedekah menutup 70 pintu kejahatan.
3)      Penawar kepada penyakit hati dan rohani.
4)      Sedekah merupakan tahap tertinggi dalam bersyukur.
5)      Sedekah dapat menyucikan diri dan harta
6)      Sesiapa yang memperbanyakkan akan diperbanyakkan baginya, dan siapa yang mengurangkan akan dikurangkan baginya. Sesiapa yang kedekut atau tidak memberi, maka dia juga tidak akan diberi.
7)      Didoakan oleh para Malaikat. Seperti hadis Nabi SAW yang bermaksud:

Tidaklah seseorang muslim yang memberi pakaian kepada orang muslim yang lain, kecuali ia di dalam lindungan Allah SWT selama pakaian itu masih ada, sekalipun sehelai kain”. (Riwayat al-Tirmizi)
Selain itu, Dr Zahiruddin menerusi buku beliau, ‘Sedekah Luar Biasa’ ada menggariskan beberapa contoh keberkatan yang boleh diperoleh hasil dari sifat suka bersedekah antaranya:
1)      Keberkatan dalam kehidupan berkeluarga – dilindungi dari sebarang pergaduhan besar yang meruntuh kepercayaan dan kebahagian suami, isteri dan anak.
2)      Kesihatan - diselamatkan daripada kemalangan dan bencana. Namun, sekiranya ditimpa bencana, ianya membawa hampir kepada Allah dan bukannya semakin jauh.
3)      Harta - terselamat dari mendapat kerjaya yang haram dan dihindar dari jawatan atau kenaikan pangkat yang memudaratkan masa hadapan.
4)      Berasa cukup dengan apa yang ada (qanaah) - tetapi tidak putus semangat untuk terus menerus memperbaiki diri dan kerja.
5)      Sumber pendapatan tambahan boleh datang tanpa disangka-sangka.
6)      Direndahkan minat dan nafsu kepada harta dan pendapatan haram serta diberi kekuatan untuk istiqamah dalam perkara yang halal - kebebasan jiwa dan hati daripada keterikatan dengan harta dunia (zuhud).
7)      Dipermudahkan oleh Allah untuk berada di tempat dan persekitaran yang baik dan tidak berbahaya untuk diri dan keluarga.
Justeru, peniaga hendaklah tidak menantikan ganjaran di dunia daripada sifat memberi tersebut. Yang lebih baik adalah dengan menganjarkan rezeki yang berkat atau barakah. Di samping memberi melalui derma dan sedekah, peniaga juga harus diberi pendedahan bahawa amalan membayar zakat itu bukan sahaja sangat membantu dalam perkembangan umat islam, malah merupakan kunci tarikan rezeki yang sangat material.

Battleship Island review

Be it a cave, a tunnel, a room or even an island, I am afraid of a closed, unescaped, confined, limited spaces. It even has a name, it is claustraohobia. Due to that, i avoid being in small or crowded spaces let it alone yo watch a movie that based on a mining area.

A story of determination, preseverance, hardship, war, oppression and family, this movie sure bring many emotions to the viewers. I watched it on tvn movie a year after it was released in 2017. Although quite late, the movie sure catch my attention and time. Basically, its a story of Korean who being forced to be a labour for the coal minjng in Hashima Island, Japan. They have hone through lots of tortured, mentally and physically. They are several dominance characters including a father and a daughter, a samseng and US trained soldier. At the end, the mission is to bring home almost 400 Korean who were trapped in the island. It is sad that not all able to escaped, however many able to be in the boat that safe them from the tortured after the supervisor of the mining was died

Shopping comples with EXTRA facilities

Suprisingly, shopping complex in Singapore is very interesting. They got speacial services and facilities such as gymnasium, library, bus/taxi hub, free entrance playground (it can be dry/wet playgraound) and of course other normal facilities such as food court. The only thing that they lack off is the absent of praying room.

1) Public library
There are lots of public library all around Singapore. The libraries are advanced, interesting, equipped with latest books and are beautifully weel kept. Public can borrow books and return them to any public libraries branches without the need to go to the original library where the books were borrowed. I love when I saw the racks especially the kids section were filled with hard covered imported books. The library also provide the comic lovers a rack full of english comis that came from all around the world

2) Wet/dry playground
Isnt incredible where while you went shopping, your kids get the chance to spent their time at the playground which normally located at the rooftop of the shopping mall and its FREE. It is quite decent with the patrol of a safety officer and a rooms for kids to change theor wet clothes. It can accomodate up to 100 kids at a time where food, drink and pets are not allowed to be taken in. My kids sure having their fun time despite the hot sunny weather in Singapore.


3) Gymnasium
To keep the shopping complex alive, gymnasiums are open 24/7. It is bysex and was full with workers coming back from work.

4) Public area
There are ample of empty spaces for public activities to be done. We just went to a festival in Tampines hub where Majlis Ugama Islam Singapore (MUIS) organised an Islamic festival. There are lots of booth and games that was being handled by various committee and organisations. It is surely a great experience. The place is comfortable and easily reach by public trasport.

D Xandra house/car refresher/perfume

I am not the die hard fan of perfume. My husband was. He will buy dozen of perfume and deodorant every month to keep him smell good and fresh. I think it might due to man’s body odour is stronger than women and they sweat more compare to the other sex.I always  encourage him to buy long lasting perfume, used strong body talcum/powder or choose the stick deodorant rather than the liquid/spray tike since the latter finish faster. Not only body need to smell good, my husband also invest a huge amount of money on house/car perfume.

Normally what he will get is from supermarket where there will be normally in discount. Buy 2 for RM10. It is cheap but it does not give a long enough good fragrance. It might smell nice for couple of days but then it does not give a desired smell even it is stated it will last for a month. 

My first experience with D Xandra house/car perfume is when we got it as a goodies/gigt from a wedding in Singspore. I sm very excited since this is our first time receiving perfume for a door gift. I would assumed that this is due to the currency exchange that makes a RM10 gift seems affordable in Singspore. We immediately tried it at home due to the eagerness snd it really does smell good. I cant really remember the name, but if I  am not mistaken, it is passion fine. It really smells good and last long! It smells fruity plus a little bit if fresh fragrance.

The good experienced brought me to buy another 8 bottles for my own usage. I rarely buy things in bulk but this is something worth to do since we always buy home fragrance from  supermarket. We try the roses type in our car and walla it turns our car into a flower shop. We bought as well the passion fruit anf forest something. The other type they we didnt buy is caramel, coffee and vanilla because i am afraid i might getting hungry from the smell😆

 It is compact,easily fit everywhere, be it in the car, in the car, kirtchen and in the living room
The passion fine is really makes our room pleasant and fine

The range of smells that you can choose from. The packaging even has a positive vibes printed on it.
