Quote of the Day..

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. - Ashley Smith

Awaken

Dalam banyak-banyak lagu Maher Zain, Lagu Awaken yang paling menyentuh perasaan mama.. Lirik dia kene betul dengan ape yang berlaku sekarang.. Kita sekarang lebih berpikir-pikir apa yang nak dibeli.. Sepanjang-panjang wish list siap sedia dalam kepala.. Ikut hati semua nak dibeli.. Pantang masuk gaji, pantang ada jualan murah, pantang ada perayaan.. Semua tak nak ketinggalan.. Lepas satu, satu.. Tak pernah rasa cukup.. Handphone, IT gadget, kereta, rumah, pakaian, beg, kasut, barang kemas dan macam-macam.. Untuk sedapkan hati, kita kate keperluan.. Tapi memang betul ke..? Sepanjang masa tak pena lupe untuk mengupdate wish list, apa yang dah ada.. apa lagi yang nak dibeli.. & kadang-kadang terlupa, untuk semak checklist amalan kita, sama ada dah cukup untuk memuaskan Allah atau tak..


We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought
We couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor ’cause
We couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we paid our dues
But in fact
To ourselves we’re just lying
Oh

I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we’d bought
We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol
We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops
Yes we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
We didn’t have any time to lose
When we were.. (were)
So busy feeling so satisfied

I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became the visuals without a soul
despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness
We bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars
And bling will make us feel satisfied

My dear brother and sister
It’s time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don’t throw away what’s right aside
Before the day comes
When there’s nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself ’cause Allah’s watching you

Is He satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?

Oh
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I’m walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it’s easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
