When Sofea look a little bit yellowish, we were told that goat’s milk, traditionally, would help to cure jaundice. I went to 4 places to look for it. The first one was out of stock and they could only get us a fresh one in 2 days. From there, they directed me to a petrol station that might have some stock. Went there but the staff at the counter told me that they don’t sell goat’s milk anymore and she gave me directions to 2 other places that might have. Went to both, but there was no goat’s milk to be found .

No choice, I canceled my plan to go back to Prai to work. Sent Sofea to clinic the next day. The doctor took some blood and after a few hours, she called up and said that Sofea has jaundice. Sofea was warded for 5 days.

Jaundice is yellowing of the skin (and eyes) caused by an accumulation of bile pigment (bilirubin) in the blood. That was what the doctor said. What is bilirubin or bile pigment? Yang ni, you have to search the net. The bilirubin level when Sofea was admitted was 272 but gradually went down. I am not sure what was the measurement used either . All I know is that she was yellow in color.

How to check whether your child has jaundice or not?
It is actually very easy to check for jaundice and this works on all people regardless the race or color of the skin. A simple test for jaundice is to gently press your fingertip on your child’s forehead. If the skin shows white there is no jaundice, obvious isn’t it, but if it shows a yellowish color, you should contact your child’s doctor.

Alhamdulillah, she’s better now. By the way, We will leave for Taiping tomorrow, so for those yang nak visit tu, cepat-cepat lah sikit .

Keistimewaan yang bakal diperoleh apabila anak-anak anda boleh digelar kanak-kanak atau kupu-kupu syurga. Barangsiapa yang mengembirakan anak perempuannya, darjatnya seumpama orang yang sentiasa menangis kerana takutkan Allah. Orang yang menangis takutkan Allah diharamkan oleh Allah akan api neraka ke atas tubuhnya. Ciumlah anakmu kerana pahala setiap ciuman itu dibalas dengan satu darjat syurga. Nisbah di antara dua darjat ialah 500 darjat. Syurga itu ialah sebuah kampung kesenangan, tiada masuk ke dalamnya melainkan orang yang menyukai kanak-kanak. Barangsiapa keluar ke pekan Muslim dan membeli barang-barang dan kembali ke rumah dengan buah tangan untuk anak-anaknya, nescaya mendapat rahmat daripada Allah dan tidak diseksa di Akhirat kelak.

Muliakan anak-anak dengan mengajar mereka adab dan ilmu agama.

Barangsiapa memuliakan anak-anaknya dalam keadaan jahil dia turut menanggung tiap-tiap dosa yang dilakukan oleh anaknya itu dan barangsiapa membekalkan anaknya itu turut di perolehinya.

Aqrak pernah terlihat Nabi SAW mencium cucu baginda Hassan. Aqrak berkata;
“Anakku sepuluh orang banyaknya, namun tiada seorang pun yang pernah aku cium.” Sabda Nabi SAW; “Orang yang tidak menyayangi tidak pula akan disayangi.”

Barangsiapa ke pasar dan membeli sesuatu barang untuk ahli keluarganya dan dia memikulnya ke rumah; pahalanya seperti dia memikul sedekah untuk orang yang sangat berhajat. Hendaklah mendahulukan anak perempuan daripada anak lelaki. Maka barangsiapa menyukakan anak perempuan seolah- olah dia memerdekakan anak Nabi Ismail.

Seorang lelaki bertanya; “Ya Rasulullah, kepada siapakah harus akuberbakti?”
Jawab baginda; “Berbaktilah kepada ibu bapamu.”

Kata lelaki itu lagi; “Ibu bapaku sudah tiada lagi.”
Sabda Nabi SAW; “Kalau begitu berbaktilah kepada anakmu, ibubapa berhak terhadap dirimu dan anakmu pula berhak ke atas dirimu.”

Why Do We Read Al-Quran Even We Don’t Understand A Single Arabic Word?

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the Quran just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Quran do?”

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.You’re just not trying hard enough,” and he went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless!”

“So you think it is useless?” The old man said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out. “Son, that’s what happens when you read the Quran. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.”
