Stori ya Mwigizaji Stallone Rambo Iliyowagusa Wengi..Kabla ya Kutoka Hakuwa na Pakulala..Isome Hapa

This is one of the SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood. His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day, Stallone was a
struggling actor in every definition. At some point, he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes, he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. 

He didn't have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying. Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.

They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script. A few weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be IN THAT MOVIE.

After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious
Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold
his dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The
man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And he
finally got his dog back!

And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he couldn't even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth!

Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there too many times!

Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a
NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough
world. If you ain't already famous, or rich or "connected", You will find it rough.
Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crush your hopes. You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

And then your hopes will be crushed. You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes, you may end up sleeping in the streets.
It happens. Yes, it does.

BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens to
You, Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes, Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away, Keep Dreaming.

Even when they shut you down, Keep Dreaming.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have.

But please, Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs, ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, Your STORY IS NOT OVER. TRUST ME.

Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go great .
Like and share if inspired. Lovely day people!

NAMNA YA KUSWALI HATUA KWA HATUA

Image
Nia: Nia ni sharti la swala kuwa sahihi, kwa maana ya mtu kukusudia kwa moyo wake kumuabudu Allah kwa kuswali, huku akijua kwamba swala anayoswali ni Magharibi kwa mfano au Isha. Haitakiwi na sheria kuitamka hii nia, bali makusudio ya moyoni na akilini ndio yanayotakiwa. Kuitamka Nia ni jambo ambalo hilo halikuthibiti kunukuliwa kwa Mtume,swallalahu alayhi wasalam, wala maswahaba wake watukufu. Atasimama wima kwa ajili ya swala na kusema:  (Allahu Akbar). Atanyanyua mikono yake mpaka usawa wa mabega yake au juu yake huku matumbo ya viganja vya mikono akiyaelekeza upande wa Kibla. Takbira haiwi sahihi isipokuwa tu kwa tamko hili la (Allahu Akbar). Maana yake ni kumtukuza na kumuadhimisha Allah. Allah ni mkubwa zaidi kuliko kila kisichokuwa yeye. Ni mkubwa zaidi kuliko dunia pamoja na starehe zote na matamanio yote yaliyomo humo. Tunaziweka kando starehe zote hizo na tunaelekea kwa Allah mkubwa, mtukufu katika swala kwa nyoyo zetu na akili zetu huku tukiwa wanyenyekevu...

Maana ya kufunga Maana ya kufunga katika Uislamu: Ni kufanya ibada kwa ajili ya Allah kwa kujizuia na kuacha kula, kunywa, kujamiiana, pamoja na vitu vyote vyenye kufunguza, kuanzia kuchomoza kwa alfajiri –ambao ni muda wa adhana ya Alfajiri- mpaka kuzama kwa jua – ambao ni muda wa adhana ya Magharibi-. «...Basi atakayekuwa katika mji (hayuko safarini) miongoni mwenu katika mwezi (wa Ramadhani) aufunge». Sura Albaqara, aya 185. Ubora wa mwezi wa Ramadhani Mwezi wa Ramadhan ni mwezi wa tisa katika miezi ya mwezi muandamo katika kalenda ya Kiislamu. Ni mwezi bora zaidi katika mwaka. Allah ameuhusisha peke yake kuliko miezi mingine kwa sifa nyingi bora na za kipekee, na miongoni sifa hizo bora ni hizi: Kwamba Ramadhan ni mwezi ambao Allah ameuhusisha na kushuka kwa Qur’ani kitabu kitukufu na bora kuliko vitabu vyote. Allah Mtukufu amesema kuwa: «Mwezi wa Ramadhani ambao imeteremshwa humo Qur’ani ikiwa ni muongozo kwa watu, na hoja zilizo wazi za muongozo na upambanuzi. Basi atakayekuwa mjini miongoni mwenu katika mwezi huu, basi afunge». (Sura Albaqara, aya 185) Mtume, swallalahu alayhi wasalam, amesema kuwa: «Utakapoingia mwezi wa Ramadhani milango ya pepo hufunguliwa, na milango ya Jahanamu hufungwa, na mashetani hufungwa minyororo». (Bukhari, Hadithi Na. 3103, Muslim, Hadithi Na. 1079). Hakika Allah ameuandaa mwezi huu kwa waja wake ili waelekee kwake kwa kufanya ibada na kuacha maovu. Kwamba mwenye kufunga mchana wa Ramadhani na akasimama usiku wake (kwa kuswali), Allah humsamehe madhambi yake yaliyopita. Mtume, swallalahu alayhi wasalam, amesema kuwa: «Mwenye kufunga Ramadhani kwa kuamini na kutaraji kupata malipo ya Allah, husamehewa madhambi yake yaliyopita». (Bukhari, Hadithi Na. 1910, Muslim, Hadithi Na. 760). Pia Mtume amesema kuwa: «Mwenye kusimama (kwa kuswali) katika Ramadhani kwa kuamini na kutaraji kupata malipo ya Allah, husamehewa madhambi yake yaliyopita». (Bukhari, hadithi na. 1905, Muslim, Hadithi Na. 759). Kwamba ndani ya mwezi wa Ramadhani kuna usiku wenye hadhi kubwa (Lailatul Qadri), usiku ambao ni bora sana kuliko nyakati nyingine za usiku za mwaka mzima. Allah ameeleza katika kitabu chake kwamba kufanya jambo jema ndani ya usiku huo ni bora zaidi kiliko kulifanya jema hilo siku nyingi nyingine. Allah amesema kuwa: «Lailatulqadri ni bora zaidi kuliko miezi elfu moja». (Sura Alqadri, aya 3). Mwenye kusimama katika usiku huo kwa kuamini na kutaraji kupata malipo ya Allah husamehewa madhambi yake. Huo ni usiku uliopo katika siku kumi za mwisho katika mwezi wa Ramadhani, na hakuna yeyote anayejua tarehe yake kwa uhakika. Ubora wa kufunga «Ambaye hakuacha kusema uzushi na kuutumia hakuna haja kwa Allah katika kuacha chakula chake na kinywaji chake». Kufunga kuna fadhila nyingi ambazo zimeelezwa katika sheria. Miongoni mwazo ni hizi zifuatazo: Kwamba mwenye kufunga mwezi wa Ramadhani kwa kumuamini Allah, kutii amri zake, kuamini fadhila zake zilizotajwa na sheria na kuwa na matarajio ya kupata thawabu kwa Allah, atasamehewa madhambi yake yaliyopita. Mtume, swallalahu alayhi wasalam, amesema kuwa: «Mwenye kufunga Ramadhan kwa kuamini kutaraji kupata malipo ya Allah, husamehewa madhambi yake yaliyopita». (Bukhari, Hadithi Na. 1910, Muslim, Hadithi Na. 760). Pia mwenye kufunga atafurahia malipo atakayoyapata wakati wa kukutana na Mola wake kwa sababu ya funga yake. Mtume, swallalahu alayhi wasalam, amesema kuwa: «Mwenye kufunga ana furaha mbili: furaha wakati wa kufungua kwake na furaha wakati wa kukutana na Mola wake». (Bukhari, Hadithi Na. 1805, Muslim, Hadithi Na.1151) Peponi kuna mlango unaoitwa Arrayaan. Haingii yeyote kupitia mlango huo isipokuwa tu wenye kufunga. Mtume, swallalahu alayhi wasalam, amesema kuwa: «Hakika, peponi kuna mlango unaoitwa Arrayyaan. Wenye kufunga wataingia kupitia mlango huo Siku ya Kiama. Haingii yeyote kupitia mlango huo ila wao tu. Patatolewa tangazo kwamba: Wako wapi wenye kufunga? Watasimama. Hataingia yeyote kupitia mlango huo isipokuwa wao tu. Wakishaingia, utafungwa na hataingia yeyote kupitia hapo». (Bukhari, hadithi Na. 1797, Muslim, Hadithi na. 1152) Pia Allah ameyahusisha kwake yeye tu malipo na thawabu za mfungaji. Ikiwa malipo ya mtu yanatoka kwa Mkarimu, Mtukufu, Mtoaji sana na Rahimu sana, anatakiwa ayafurahie yale ambayo Allah amemuandalia. Mtume, swallalahu alayhi wasalam, katika Hadithi Qudsiy amesema kuwa: «Matendo yote ya mwanadamu ni yake yeye isipokuwa funga. Funga ni yangu, na mimi ndiye nitakaye itolea malipo». (Bukhari, Hadithi Na. 1805, Muslim, Hadithi Na.1151) Hekima ya funga Allah amefaradhisha kufunga Ramadhani kwa hekima nyingi na faida mbali mbali katika dini na dunia, na miongonimwazo ni hizi: Kuthibitisha kumtii Allah na kumuogopa. Hiyo kutokana na kuwa funga ni ibada ambayo mja anajiweka karibu ya Allah kupitia ibada hiyo kwa kuacha anavyo vipenda, na kuyazuia mataminio yake. Anaidhibti nafsi yake kwa kumcha Allah na kumuogopa kila sehemu na kila wakati, katika siri na katika dhahiri. Kwa sababu hii, Allah Mtukufu anasema kuwa: «Enyi mlio amini, mmefaradhishiwa kufunga kama walivyofaradhishiwa waliokuwepo kabla yenu ili mpate kuwa wenye kumuogopa Allah». (Sura Albaqara, aya 183) Mazoezi ya kuacha maasi na madhambi Mwenye kufunga ajizuiapo kufanya mambo yaliyo halali kwa kufuata amri ya Allah atakuwa na uwezo zaidi wa kuyadhibiti mataminio yake ya kutaka kufanya maasi na madhambi, atachunga mipaka ya Allah na hatajiachia katika kufanya maovu. Mtume, swallalahu alayhi wasalam, amesema kuwa: «Mtu ambaye haachi kusema uzushi na kuufanyia kazi, basi Allah hana haja ya kuacha chakula chake na kinywaji chake». (Bukhari, Hadithi Na. 1804). Maana ni kwamba: Mtu ambaye haachi uongo na kufanya uchafu katika kauli na vitendo, huyo hajayafikia makusudio ya funga. Kuwakumbuka wenye shida na kuwasaidia Hiyo inatokana na kwamba katika funga kuna mazoezi ya kupambana na ukata, njaa, na kuwakumbuka maskini ambao wanapambana na hali ya kutokuwa na pato la kutosha siku zote. Kwa kufunga, mja huwakumbuka ndugu zake masikini na namna wanavyoteseka na mambo mawili machungu; njaa na kiu, na kwa sababu hiyo, atafanya juhudi ya kuwasaidia na kuwafariji.

UTUKUFU WA MJI WA MAKKA NA MSIKITI MTUKUFU

Image
Msikiti Mtukufu unapatikana katika mji wa Makka, magharibi ya rasi ya Arabuni. Katika Uislamu, msikiti huu una sifa nyingi takatifu za kipekee, na miongoni mwa  sifa hizo ni hizi: Ndani ya msikitini wa Makka kunapatikana Kaaba Takatifu: Kaaba ni jengo la pande nne na takriban lenye umbo la ujazo. Ipo katikati ya Msikiti Mtukufu katika mji wa Makka. Kaaba ndio Kibla ambacho Waislamu wanaelekea hapo wakati wa kuswali, na wakati wa kufanya ibada nyingine ambazo Allah ameziamrisha. Nabii Ibrahimu kipenzi cha Allah na mwanawe Ismail, Allah awafikishie rehema na amani, ndio walioijenga kwa amri ya Allah Mtukufu, kisha jengo lake limefanyiwa maboresho mara nyingi.  Allah amesema kuwa: «Na (kumbukeni) wakati Ibrahimu alipoinua kuta za nyumba (Kaaba yeye na) na Ismaili wakasema: Ewe Mola wetu, tukubalie. Hakika, wewe tu ndiye  mwenye kusiki, mwenye kujua». (Sura Abaqara, aya 127) Mtume Muhammad,swallalahu alayhi wasalam, alishiriki yeye na makabila ya Makka katika...
