4 hal sebelum tidur

EMPAT HAL SEBELUM TIDUR Rasulullah berpesan kepada siti Aisyah ra.

“ Ya, Aisyah! Jangan engkau tidur sebelum melakukan empat perkara yaitu : 

1. Sebelum khatam al-Quran 
2. Sebelum menjadikan para nabi bersyafaat untukmu di hari kiamat 
3. Sebelum para muslimin meridhai engkau 
4. Sebelum engkau melaksanakan haji dan umrah 

“ Bertanya siti Aisyah : “Ya Rasulullah ! bagaimana aku dapat melaksanakan empat perkara seketika? “ Rasulallah tersenyum dan bersabda : 

1. “Jika engkau akan tidur , membacalah surat al –Ikhlas tiga kali Seakan-akan engkau telah meng-khatamkan Al-Quran ” Bismillaahirrahmaa nirrahiim, ‘Qul huallaahu ahad’ Allaah hussamad’ lam yalid walam yuulad’ walam yakul lahuu kufuwan ahad’ ( 3x ) “ 
2. "Membacalah shalawat untukku dan untuk para nabi sebelum aku" maka kami semua akan memberimu syafaat di hari kiamat “ “ Bismillaahirrahmaa nirrrahiim, Allaahumma shallii ‘alaa saiyyidina Muhammad wa’alaa aalii saiyyidina Muhammad ( 3x ) “ 
3. “Beristighfarlah” untuk para mukminin maka mereka akan meridhai engkau “ Astaghfirullaah hal 'adziim al lazhii laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul qayyuum wa atuubu ilaih ( 3x ) 
4. Dan perbanyaklah “bertasbih, bertahmid , bertahlil dan bertakbir” maka seakan-akan engkau telah melaksanakan ibadah haji dan umrah “ Bismillaahirrahmaa nirrahiim, Subhanallaah Walhamdulillaah Walaa ilaaha illallaah hu wallah hu akbar ( 3x )

Sintra the fairytale

I blame facebook for making me wanting to visit this place for so long. I saw photos of my friend being at Pena Palace and they were superbly beautiful architecture on top of the hill.

We hired a private tour which brought us around Sintra and Cascais to visit 5 places for €25 per head. The driver, Joao waiter for us outside the attraction places and let us wondering around as long as we wanted.

Moorish Castle is located at the very top of the hill and has amazing view. However, since the dark came early during winter time, we did not really have much time to spent here.

So, we visited Pena Palace instead. The entrance fee is €11 and the transfer is €2. The weather was so breezy and slightly rainy. Every single part of the palace is built with precision, the colours of the wall are attractive and bright that makes the palace the second beautiful after Neuschwanstein Palace in Bavaria, Germany.

Cascais is the most western point of Europe. The wind was so strong that I could not take a picture while standing. People were scared that the wind would blow me away as I was too light. The point is facing the Atlantic Ocean. I wonder if I could ever see America from there. LOL.

We also visited a cliff with houses  in Sintra. During summer time, the water stagnant in a natural pool is used for swimming by the visitors. The view was breathtaking thought it was dark when we arrived at that place.
