mini shopaholic

The Shopaholic series is my favourite. series. ever. and I couldn’t wait to find out what the title would be for the next shopaholic series never mind the synopsis or cover. The next Shopaholic title is MINI SHOPAHOLIC and is already out! Am more than happy yet have to wait for the price drop 1st. Besides am currently reading The book of Tomorrow by cecelia Ahern. Words cannot describe how much I love Sophie Kinsella/Shopaholic series/Becky Bloomwood. I just hope Sophie doesn’t break Becky and Luke up otherwise I’ll be after her with a very sharp object.

The synopsis is also finally up and here you go – get your heads around this:

Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) thought motherhood would be a breeze – but it’s trickier than she thought. Two-year-old Minnie is a little tearaway who has created havoc everywhere from Harrods to Harvey Nicks to her own christening. She hires taxis at random, her favourite word is ‘Mine’, and she already has a penchant for Balenciaga bags. Becky is at her wits’ end.

On top of this, she and Luke are still living with her Mum and Dad, there’s a big financial crisis so everyone’s having to Cut Back – including all her personal shopping clients – and her husband Luke is feeling low after the death of his beloved stepmother. To cheer Luke up, Becky decides to throw him a surprise birthday party – on a budget – and that’s when things become really complicated. As Becky tries to keep the arrangements secret, misunderstandings and excuses sprout everywhere, and soon she’s told so many fibs she can’t keep track of them. Will Becky pull off the surprise? Will Minnie give everything away? Will Minnie’s godparents ever stop arguing? Who will end up on the naughty step and who will get a gold star? And what will happen when Becky discovers Luke is keeping a big secret too?

Larangan Meminta-minta Mati

Hadith:

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang maksudnya: “ Jangan sesekali seseorang daripada kamu bercita-cita hendak mati kerana sesuatu bencana yang menimpanya; kalau keadaan mendesaknya meminta mati, maka hendaklah ia memohon dengan berkata : Ya Tuhanku, hidupkanlah daku selagi hidup itu lebih baik bagiku, dan matikanlah daku apabila mati itu lebih baik bagiku.” Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim

Huraian :

Pengajaran hadith:

i) Seorang mukmin dilarang keras meminta mati kerana bosan dan tidak tahan menanggung sesuatu bencana yang menimpanya; sebaliknya dia mestilah mensifatkan bala bencana yang menimpanya itu sebagai ujian dan menerimanya dengan redha.

ii) Sesungguhnya segala dugaan itu adalah kaffarah (penghapus) dosa dan kesalahan orang yang ditimpa bencana tersebut . Oleh itu Allah menyeru kita agar menghadapinya dengan sabar dan akan ditulis pahala amal baik sebagai ganjarannya.

iii) Allah S.W.T adalah bersifat dengan Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang, Dia tidak akan membiarkan hamba-Nya berada di dalam kesusahan selagi hamba-Nya itu ingat dan berserah diri serta bertawakal kepada-Nya dalam segala keadaan.
