Doa ringkas selepas solat

Dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang.

Segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan pentadbir seluruh alam. Selawat dan sejahtera semoga dilimpahkan ke atas junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad yang semulia-mulia pesuruh-Nya, serta ke atas keluarga dan sekalian sahabat-sahabatnya.

Ya Allah, wahai Tuhan kami, hidupkan kami dengan iman, matikan kami dalam iman, serta masukkan kami ke dalam
syurga bersama-sama iman.

Ya Allah, ya Tuhan kami, ampunilah segala dosa kesalahan kami dan dosa-dosa kesalahan kedua ibu bapa kami, serta kesihanilah kedua ibu bapa kami sebagaimana mereka berdua mengasihani kami semasa masih kecil.

Ya Allah, akhirilah umur kami dengan kesudahan yang baik dan janganlah kiranya Engkau akhirkan umur k
ami dengan kesudahan yang tidak baik.

Ya Allah, ya Tuhan kami, janganlah kiranya Engkau pesongkan iman kami sesudah Engkau kurniakan kepada kami petunjuk. Anugerahilah kami rahmat kerana sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pengurnia.

Wahai Tuhan kami, kurniakanlah kepada kami kebaikan di dunia ini dan juga di a
khirat, dan peliharalah kami daripada azab neraka.

Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat dan sejahtera ke atas junjungan kami Nabi Muhammad dan ke atas seluruh keluarga dan sahabat-sahabat baginda. Dan segala puji itu tertentu bagi Allah, Tuhan pentadbir seluruh alam.

Fish Spa @ Foot Master, Bukit Tinggi



Doctor fish
is the name given to two species of fish: Garra rufa and Cyprinion macrostomus. Other nicknames include nibble fish, kangal fish, little dermatologists and doctorfishen; in non-medical contexts, Garra rufa is called the reddish log sucker. They live and breed in the outdoor pools of some Turkish spas, where they feed on the skin of patients with psoriasis. The fish are like combfishes in that they only consume the affected and dead areas of the skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow, with the outdoor location of the treatment bringing beneficial effects.

Warung Ngalam, Jakarta (yummy iga)

Right in front of Midori Japanese Restaurant and Bersih Sehat. What can you find here..? Indonesian speciality dishes including: Rawon, Soto Ayam, Soto Sulung, Iga Bakar (rusuk, ribs - recommended), Sop Iga, Sop Buntut, etc and at affordable price, max about Rph 30k.

Simple layout, long bench and individual chairs under cute little fans to ensure air circulation :)

address:
No. 106, Jl KH Wahid Hasyim
Menteng
Jakarta Pusat

interesting info: (taken from http://pr1e.multiply.com/reviews/item/29)
Pak Hariono, pemilik warung ini. Beliau adalah juga pemilik pijat keluarga Bersih Sehat dan resoran Jepang Midori. Ternyata warung ini didirikan untuk sumber dari thesis beliau. Sebagai seorang enterpreneur yang telah makan asam-garam selama lebih dari 25 tahun, tentunya saya tidak meragukan pengalaman, dan kemampuan beliau. Namun beliau mempunyai tujuan untuk mempraktekkan teori-teori yang beliau pelajari di MM di warung ini, untuk melihat apakah benar teori-teori itu applicable dalam praktek. Mulai dari pembuatan tempat (beliau mengukur lebar minimal yang diperlukan untuk pengunjung duduk disisi kiri dan kanan, dengan jalan untuk pelayan mengantarkan makanan, agar tidak sampai mengganggu pengunjung, dengan cara beliau membawa baki sambil mengukur jarak dengan bangku pengunjung), perkembangan modal yang disetorkan, masa promosi (dengan uang 10,000 bisa makan lengkap contoh Rawon + Nasi + Kerupuk + Minum), setelah masa promosi (terjadi customer selection setelah harga biasa berlaku).

Hotel Akmani, Jakarta


This is a brand new hotel at Jl KH Wahid Hasyim right behind Sarinah and a stone throw away from Tanah Abang complex. Its more of a business hotel, a few meeting rooms etc, free internet access with cable in room and wi-fi too, reception is better in the lobby. Room is clean, fresh towel and bedsheets and a nice modern design room with LCD TV. Check in was easy, we only made the reservation through email and the Reservation manager held our room till night as we flew in late in the evening. Staff are very friendly and helpful cant find any fault there. Breakfast is basic but filling. Overall I can't find any fault.
