Lamp of Light




God is the Light

How great the wonders of the heavens
And the timeless beauty of the night
How great – then how great the Creator?
And its stars like priceless jewels
Far beyond the reach of kings
Bow down for the shepherd guiding him home.

But how many eyes are closed
To the wonder of this night?
Like pearls, hidden, deep beneath a dark
Stream of desires.
But like dreams vanish with the call to prayer
And the dawn extinguishes night – here too are signs.
God is the Light - God is the Light

How great the beauty of the Earth and the creatures
Who dwell on her.
How great – then how great the Creator?
As its mountains pierce the clouds
High above the lives of men
Weeping rivers for thousands of years.

But how many hearts are closed
To the wonders of this sight?
Like birds in a cage, asleep with closed wings
But like work stops with the call to prayer
And the birds reside – here too are signs
God is the Light – God is the Light

How great the works of man and the things he makes
How great – then how great the Creator?
Though he strives to reach the heavens
He can barely survive
The wars of the world he lives in.

Yet, how many times he’s tried,
Himself to immortalise?
Like his parents before him in the Garden of Eden
But like the sun sets with the call to prayer
And surrenders to the night here too are signs
God is the Light Everlasting
God is the Light Everlasting
God is the Light Everlasting
God is the Light Everlasting




"God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is wellnigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light Upon Light! God doth guide whom He will to His Light: God doth set forth Parables for men: and God doth know all things" (QS 24:35)

Safe Working Limit



The Safe Working Limit of this crane is 12.5 MT. If the crane is loaded more than this limit, it will bend, brake and fail.

The limit God set for us through Quran and our Prophets examples. We would have thousands of reasons to rationalize why the guide and rules is set, but we could only have one reason why we follow it, because we want His acceptance.

Anyway, going way beyond the limit shall always lead to worse consequences in our life. The worst it might be is loss of calmness in our life.

"....those are limits set by God: any who trangresses the limits of God, does verily wrong his (own) soul: thou knowest not if perchance God will bring about thereafter some new situation" (QS 65:01)

The Unpredictable Clouds






"Seest thou not that God makes the clouds move gently, then move them together, then makes them into a heap? - then wilt thou see rain issue forth from their midst. And He sends down from the sky mountain masses (of clouds) wherein is hail: He strikes therewith whom He pleases and He turns it away from whom He pleases, the vivid flash of His lightning well-nigh blinds the sight" (QS 24:43)

Water Splashed




We always knew that water is very essential for our survival. We evolved ourselves with many brilliant ideas on how we can move forward in our interesting life, but now matter how advance the technology is, we can always drink the best clean and clear water itself.

"Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" (QS 20:30)

Small World




Small world beside us that we tend to ignore. How creative and powerful of GOD to complete such tiny yet very complex organism.

"Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it. And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, see it." (QS 99:7-8)

from DEATH they FEED







As a human, our rezqi has been defined by God. The only thing that we own is actually what we eat, drink, buy, wear and give to other people. No matter how much money that we have we can only eat a plate of rice or bread, few glasses of water and no more. But, it is always our greed that made we feel everything was never enough.

"No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me. For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, Lord of Power, Steadfast (forever)." (Adz-Dzariyat:57-58)

The little plants are always feed by the dead trees. No sunshine is ever needed. Only the dead trees enough for them.

Salamun 'alaik.

The First Event


I was helping a good friend to snap pict of group having technical course at Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia

The first pic to test the right exposure, distance and white balance

I was trying to put the right and left boundary with the help of the participants

Slowly they came to the entrance door of Hotel Selesa Pasir Gudang where the event take place

"Come on guys, move on...please behave yourself.."

Finally, it was captured.

Adios!
