Antara hadis yang berkaitan dengan wakaf ialah: Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w dalam sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh At-Tabrani, yang bermaksud:

Selawat

http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selawat
Perkataan selawat ( bahasa Arab: الصلوات‎) diambil dari perkataan solat ( bahasa Arab: الصلاة‎), doa, pujian].

Sesungguhnya Allah dan para malaikat-Nya bersalawat (memuji dan berdoa) ke atas Nabi (Muhammad s.a.w). Wahai orang-orang yang beriman bersalawatlah kamu ke atasnya serta ucapkanlah salam dengan penghormatan. [Al-Ahzab: 56]

kalo ikut tafsir pimpinan al-Rahman ayat 56 surah al-Ahzaab (33:56) diberi maksud berikut:

Sesungguhnya Allah dan malaikatNya berselawat (memberi segala penghormatan dan kebaikan) kepada Nabi (Muhammad s.a.w); wahai orang-orang yang beriman berselawatlah kamu kepadanya serta ucapkanlah salam sejahtera dengan penghormatan yang sepenuhnya.

"Allahumma solli'ala Muhammad."
Ya Allah berilah rahmat dan kesejahteraan kepada junjungan kita Nabi Muhammad.

doa ditetapkan pendirian setelah diberi petunjuk

(Mereka berdoa dengan berkata): Wahai Tuhan kami! Janganlah Engkau memesongkan hati kami sesudah Engkau beri petunjuk kepada kami dan kurniakanlah kepada kami limpah rahmat dari sisiMu; sesungguhnya Engkau jualah Tuhan Yang melimpah-limpah pemberianNya.
(Aal-i-Imran 3:8)

Wahai Tuhan kami! Sesungguhnya Engkaulah yang akan menghimpunkan sekalian manusia, untuk (menerima balasan pada) suatu hari (hari kiamat) yang tidak ada syak padanya. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak memungkiri janjiNya. (Aal-i-Imran 3:9)

Sebaliknya aku juga memiliki salah satu ilmu Allah yang telah diberikan kepadaku dan kamu tidak mengetahuinya....

imagination and knowledge

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
- Albert Einstein

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Incorrect system clock on heavy load server

http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_admin/x2804.html
The Linux software clock is not always accurate. It is kept running by a periodic timer interrupt generated by PC hardware. If the system has too many processes running, it may take too long to service the timer interrupt, and the software clock starts slipping behind. The hardware clock runs independently and is usually more accurate. If you boot your computer often (as is the case for most systems that aren't servers), it will usually keep fairly accurate time.

biasakan keluarkan pendapat dan bukan berdiam

http://www.bharian.com.my/bharian/articles/Buatkajiansebelumberipendapat_DrMahathir/Article/index_html

Dr Mahathir berkata, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab rakyat menyampaikan pandangan dan teguran apabila sesuatu dasar diperkenalkan kerana tidak ada kerajaan yang dapat membentuk dasar atau pendekatan sebegitu baik sehingga tiada kecacatan.
“Jika kita nampak pemimpin buat tak begitu baik, kita tegur... jika tak tegur, kita juga bersalah kerana tidak menegur sedangkan kita tahu ia salah,” katanya.

Luasnya ilmu Allah

ilmu Allah tidak bertepi:

Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): Kalaulah semua jenis lautan menjadi tinta untuk menulis Kalimah-kalimah Tuhanku, sudah tentu akan habis kering lautan itu sebelum habis Kalimah-kalimah Tuhanku, walaupun Kami tambahi lagi dengan lautan yang sebanding dengannya, sebagai bantuan.

- Surah Al-Kahf (18:109)

Bila masanya tunai zakat pendapatan?

Rujukan jawapan daripada Blog Rasmi Lembaga Zakat Selangor
http://blog.e-zakat.com.my/?p=493

Oleh kerana tiada ijmak (kesepakatan yang kukuh) di kalangan ulamak mengenai penetapan haul bagi zakat penghasilan seperti zakat pendapatan ini, maka umat Islam berhak memilih salah satu daripadanya, sama ada mahu menunggu setahun ataupun terus berzakat apabila memperolehinya.

Data mining to find criminal suspect

http://www.focus.com/fyi/operations/10-largest-databases-in-the-world/

ChoicePoint is in the business of acquiring information about the American population -- addresses and phone numbers, driving records, criminal histories, etc., ChoicePoint has it all. For the most part, the data found in ChoicePoint's database is sold to the highest bidders, including the American government.

But how much does ChoicePoint really know? In 2002 ChoicePoint was able to help authorities solve a serial rapist case in Philadelphia and Fort Collins after producing a list of 6 potential suspects by data mining their DNA and personal records databases. In 2001 ChoicePoint was able to identify the remains of World Trade Center victims by matching DNA found in bone fragments to the information provided by victim's family members in conjunction to data found in their databases.
