SUNDANESE MAN IN NEW YORK - BEN FOREVER

I don't drink coffee I'll take tea my dear, I like my toast done on one side As you can hear it in my accent when I talk, Im Sundanese man in New York.....

If "manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile, Be yourself no matter what they say

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run!!!!!!

Beautiful Al Aqsa

I was born as a moslem and becoming a moslem has always been a gift that is priceless. Although i am a moslem i feel like i have never been practising it well and let my self in my own confusing chasing what they call world. I would say sometimes It's nothing, specialy when we think that we are going to die tomorrow. What have i prepared so far? insurance? Money? definetely not all these things.

Broad up in very moderate moslem family, i was able to choose and voted life of my own. live like others, got hooked in daily routine and spent less hours to learn what gift they have given me as moslem. Shame on Me! i become someone who is left behind in my own religion. Now I feel thirsty and keep praying that i will always be a God fearing person and grow spiritualy when comes to Deen of Allah SWT. I feel envy with one Convert friend who is humbly teaching me through the stories written on his blog. As a person and convert he was struggling to find what moslem means to his life,things i have never done as someone who is originaly born as one. I feel a slap on the face. Through this blog i would like to take the chance to thanks Malena. I hope i am not the 'later' Melena. And my sincere and deep apprecation to my brother "Romano Caveroni" also for reminding me as sister in moslem, i wish you find happiness ever after.

The Night Journey

Glory be to He
Who carried His servant by night,
from the Holy Mosque
to the Furthest Mosque,
the precincts of which
We have blessed.
so that We might show him
some of Our signs.
Surely He is the All-Hearing,
the All-Seeing.
------------------Sura al-Isra'
------------------Qur'an 17:1

In the ninth year of the Prophet's mission, about 620 AD, Muhammad rose in the middle of the night to visit the Sacred Mosque in Makkah. After a time of worship he fell asleep near the Ka'aba. The angel Gabriel came to him and woke him from his slumber. He led the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to the edge of the sacred Makkan mosque. Awaiting them was al-Buraq, a white winged beast "whose each stride stretched as far as the eye could see." Muhammad mounted al-Buraq and sped northwards with Gabriel to Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the Furthest Mosque.

When they reached Jerusalem the Prophet dismounted and prayed near the Rock. Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other prophets, peace be upon them all, gathered together to pray behind him. Muhammad was presented a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. The Prophet chose the milk and Gabriel said, 'You have chosen the true religion'.

The Prophet then embarked on the ascension (Miraj) in which he, peace and blessings be upon him, received the command to pray five times a day and the revelation encapsulating the beliefs of Islam:

"The Messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord. And the believers; each one believes in Allah and His angels and in His books and His messengers. We make no division between any one of His messengers. And they say: We hear and we obey. Oh Lord, grant us Thy forgiveness; unto Thee we return." Qur'an II/285
