Self-reminder #3

I want to share something that I found on Tumblr. 


Al-‘Abbās, the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ, came to the Prophet and said:“Ya Rasūlullāh, teach me a du'ā’.” 

The Prophet ﷺ said:  “O my uncle, say: 

أَلًْلّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسأَلُكَ أَلًْعَافِيَةً 

 Allāhumma inni asaluka al-‘āfiyah  (O Allāh, I ask you for ‘āfiyah).”

What is ‘āfiyah? 

‘Āfiyah means:

To save me from any afflictions.  To be healthy you are in ‘āfiyah.  To have enough money you are in ‘āfiyah.  To have your children protected you are in ‘āfiyah.  And if you are forgiven and not punished you are in ‘āfiyah".

Āfiyah means: “O Allāh, protect me from any pain and suffering.” (This includes dunya and ākhirah)

Al-'Abbās thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said:

“Ya Rasūlullāh ﷺ, this du'ā’ seems a little short. I want something big.”

The Prophet ﷺ said, “My dear uncle, ask Allāh ﷻ for 'āfiyah for wallāhi, you cannot be given anything better than 'āfiyah.”

Riyadh As Saliheen,  Sunan At-Tirmidhi.

helo.  how's everyone doing now? great? cool cool. keep doing that, you look good.  this is just another post of 'hi-im-just-dropping-by'. to be honest, i don't really know what should i post here on blogspot. should i post something informative or just to keep it personal - as for my so-called online diary.  but here i am, just some random rants every now and then.  as for my life update, i'm currently still in my routine of boring-working-life. but to highlight some, i was with pusat pemberian vaksin (PPV) for 2 weeks in early august. not gonna lie, it was suuuuch an experience. i get to poke someone's shoulder.. with needles.. *insert smirk-creepy-smile* :P the work was fun, in a way. i don't know, though i am an introvert, i do enjoy meeting people at the facility. i enjoy seeing their excitedness and whatever reaction that they have towards getting vaccinated. elders.. youngsters.. all of them, with different kind of vibes each. this one incident at PPV...

Procrastination? Yeah, kind of.

Procrastination. Sounds familiar, isn't it? You have a list of tasks to deal with, but instead - you just there, rearranging your books on the shelf. You have assignments to submit in a week time, but you're creating a cute bed for your new kitten. You need to contribute your part for group-work project, but instead you just cleaning and washing your bed-sheet for the second time of the week. You said you want to keep updating your blog, but yet, there - all the drafts that never made up to the public view. Familiar now? hm-mm. As most people claimed, procrastination is laziness? Well, I don't think so. Yes, the tasks are not done, but look at what you got? A tidy bookshelf, a cute bed for your cute kitten, a clean bed-sheet for you to sleep comfortably, and drafts on your blog that shows you actually have ideas and intentions to-do-so but-you-didn't. Aren't that cool? aha.  So.. if you think about it closely, procrastination doesn't actually equal to laziness o...

hola. i just want to rant out about something..  about this.  a part of me - is against this statement.  the fact that when encountering a patient, doctor/s need to listen to their complaint, their history of complaint, past medical history, history of hospital admission, any drugs history, allergy history, family history and social history yadayada. then proceed to relevant investigations according to the complaint the patient presented with. and then only come out with diagnosis. usually they would pick up the most common first. by means, you wouldnt be suspecting rare diseases first. sooo from the list of possible diseases (differential diagnosis) you just pick the most common diseases that relevant to the signs and symptoms, and as suggested from the results of the investigations done. treat by the first choice first.  some would say, 'ni je buat?' because it seems to be very lack of effort, but yea. to avoid unnecessary waste of resources. annndd as in the case ...
