Hanya Sekedar Info

BEGINILAH TANDA-TANDA ORANG YANG AKAN MENINGGAL

Ibarat kata, mati adalah urusan Allah dan tidak ada satu orangp un yang dapat mengetahui kapan kita akan dipanggil oleh Allah. Namun jika kita mencoba sedikit merenung dan sadar, sebenarnya Allah tidaklah seperti yang kita kira......tanda-tanda seseorang akan meninggal sebenarnya telah Allah berikan justru jauh-jauh hari sebelumnya.....ya kini tinggal kita sadar dan mengerti tidak akan tanda-tanda tersebut. Beginilah tanda-tanda Allah akan memanggil hambanya untuk menuju ajal yang telah ditentukannya pada saat dia akan dilahirkan dahulu :

1. Tanda 100 Hari Sebelum Meninggal Biasanya tanda itu akan datang selepas sholat Ashar...tubuh kita dari ujung rambut hingga ujung kaki seakan mengalami getaran atau seperti akan menggigil. Tanda ini seakan begitu biasa hingga kita kadang kuranng menyadarinya ....karena tanda ini akan hilang dengan sendirinya. 2. Tanda 40 Hari Sebelum Meninggal Juga terjadi setelah sholat Ashar,....dimana bagian pusat kita akan berdenyut-denyut ..dimana pada saat itu daun yang bertuliskan nama kita akan gugur dari pokok yang terletak diatas Arash Allah SWT. Maka Malaikat maut akan mengambil daun itu dan membuat persediaan untuk kita...mulai saat itulah Malaikat Maut akan mengikuti kita sepanjang masa.

3. Tanda 7 Hari Sebelum Meninggal Biasanya tanda ini diuji kepada mereka yang sedang dilanda suatu penyakit....dimana tiba=tiba yang semula dia tidak ingin atau tidak berselera makan dengan tiba-tiba dia akan berselera untuk makan dan terlihat begitu lahapnya.

4. Tanda 3 Hari Sebelum Meninggal Kembali kita akan dikejutkan dengan adanya denyutan di bagian tengah dahi kita, yaitu diantara dahi kanan dan kiri. Pada saat itu juga mata hitam kita seperti terlihat tidak bersinar dan bagi orang yang sakit hidungnya akan perlahan-lahan jatuh dan ini dapat dikesankan jika kita melihatnya dibagian ini. Juga bukan hanya itu telinga kita akan terasa layu dibagian ujungnya dan berlahan-lahan masuk ke dalam serta telapak kaki kita yang terlanjur terlunjur tiba-tiba secara perlahan sulit untuk ditegakan .

5. Tanda 1 Hari Sebelum Meninggal Sepertii biasanyanya tanda itu akan datang setelah Ashar, dimana kita akan merasakan satu denyutan disebelah belakang yaitu dikawasan ubun-ubun dimana itu menandakan bahwa kita tidak akan dapat sempat lagi untuk menemui waktu Ashar lagi pada keesokan harinya.

6. Tanda Akhir Hayat Kita Ini yang harus kita sadar karena pada saat itu terjadi keadaan dimana kita akan merasakan begitu sejuknya dibagian perut dan rasa itu akan terus turun ke bagian pinggang dan kembali naik kebagian Halkum (kerongkongan) . nah pada saat itu seharusnya kita diperintahkan untuk memperbanyak membaca kalimat Syahadat dan berdiam diri dan menantikan datangnnya Malaikat maut menjemput kita kembali kepada Allah SWT.

Degrees Of Comparison

Degrees of Comparison are used when we compare one person or one thing with another .

There are three Degrees of Comparison in English .

They are :

1 . Positive degree .

2 . Comparative degree .

3 . Superlative degree .

Let us see all of them one by one .

1.Positive degree .

When we speak about only one person or thing , We use the Positive degree .

examples :

• This house is big .

In this sentence only one noun " the house " is talked about .

• He is a tall student .

• This flower is beautiful .

• He is an intelligent boy .

Mentioned above each sentence talks about only one noun .

The second one in the Degrees of Comparison is ...

2.Comparative degree .

When we compare two persons or two of Things with each other ,

We use both the Positive degree and Comparative degree .

examples :

a. This house is bigger than that one . ( Comparative degree )

This house is not as big as that one . ( Positive degree )

The term " bigger " is comparative version of the term "big " .

Both these sentences Convey the same meaning .

b . This flower is more beautiful than that . ( Comparative )

This flower is not as beautiful as that . ( Positive )

The term " more beautiful " is the comparative version of the term "beautiful " .

Both these sentences Convey the same meaning .

The term " more intelligent " is comparative version of the term " intelligent " .

d . He is taller than Mr . Hulas . ( Comparative )

He is not as tall as Mr . Hulas . ( Positive )

The term " taller " is comparative version of the term "tall " .

Both these sentences Convey the same meaning .

When we compare more than two persons or Things with one another ,

We use all the three Positive , Comparative and Superlative degrees .

examples :

a. This is the biggest house in this street . ( Superlative )

This house is bigger than any other house in this street . ( Comparative )

No other house in this street is as big as this one . ( Positive )

The term "biggest " is the superlative version of the term "big " .

All the three sentences mean the same meaning .

b . This flower is the most beautiful one in this garden . ( Superlative )

This flower is more beautiful than any other flower in this garden . ( Comparative )

No other flower in this garden is as beautiful as this one . ( Comparative )

The term "most beautiful " is the superlative version of the term "beautiful " .

All the three sentences mean the same meaning .

c . He is the most intelligent in this class . ( Superlative )

He is more intelligent than other boys in the class . ( Comparative )

No other boy is as intelligent as this boy . ( Positive )

The term "most intelligent " is superlative version of the term " intelligent " .

Both these sentences Convey the same meaning .

d . He is the tallest student in this class . ( Superlative )

He is taller than other students in this class . ( Comparative )

No other student is as tall as this student . ( Positive )

The term " tallest" is superlative version of the term "tall " .

Asking Necissity And obligation

Here are some examples of phrases and sentences that can be used to express or express obligation and the Necessary .

A. Obligation

1 . using adjectives : Obligatory , Compulsory , Needless , Unnecessary

Example Sentence :

It is obligatory for the people to Participate in education .
Entering elementary school is compulsory in Indonesia .
That's a needless thing to speak with him .
It's unnecessary to sit under the tree for hours .
Etc. . . .



2 . Use nouns : Obligation , Compulsion , a Need , Necessity

Example Sentence :

There is a legal obligation to enter the army .
It's compulsion to obey your parents .
It's a need for everybody to eat nutritious food .
Is it a necessity for man and woman to sit apart ?


3 . Use Verbs : Oblige

Example Sentence :

4 . Use Capital Auxiliaries : Must , Have to , ought to , Should

Example Sentence :

You must obey your parents .
Every Muslim must pray five times a day .
I have to go now .
You ought to repair my watch .
Those shoes should be repaired .
I ought to wake up early
Etc. . . .


NOTE :
The word "must " have a very strong sense of ( strong ) . The use of the word " must" is more Likely to have meaning on a must already be an obligation to do .

B. Necessary

Example Sentence :

I think it's not your necessity to follow the party .
To sleep at noon is being my necessity .

Persuading And Convincing Others

The verbs ' convince ' and ' persuade ' are very similar in meaning , but there is a difference in how we use them .
After ' persuade ' we use the structure
to + infinitive :

I persuaded them to stay for another drink .
He persuaded her not to take the job .

After ' convince ' we can not use a verb infinitive . We say ' convince someone that' :

She convinced the police that she was telling the truth .
He convinced her that it was the right thing to do .

Both of the above sentence would also be correct without 'that' :

She convinced the police she was telling the truth .
He convinced her it was the right thing to do .


meaning
There can also be a subtle difference in meaning between ' convince ' and ' persuade ' , as seen here :
Although Robert finally persuaded his girlfriend to move abroad with him , she was not fully convinced that it was the best thing to do .

In the example , Robert 's girlfriend was persuaded ( to move) but was not convinced ( that it was the correct decision) . So , we can see that when we persuade someone to do something it does not always mean that we have also convinced that person .

One more thing is worth mentioning about ' persuade ' and ' convince ' . If we are absolutely sure about something , I'm convinced we say :

 Are you sure he 's innocent ?
 Yes , I'm convinced . NOT I'm persuaded


Some related words :

convincing ( adjective ) It was a convincing argument .
persuasive ( adjective ) Marta can be very persuasive when she wants .
persuasion ( noun ) He used his powers of persuasion

Bargaining

Haggling (bargaining) is common in some countries, such as China, Turkey and Egypt. If you don't haggle, it is highly likely that you will get ripped off, because vendors expect a bit of haggling and state their prices higher than what they expect to receive. Some points to keep in mind:
Ask a trusted local what price range is appropriate.
See what locals pay and refuse to pay more. (You can either watch, or ask someone after they have purchased. However, beware that if you hang around in some parts of the world locals will defer purchases so that the vendor can extract additional profits from you as an outsider... so don't stand around too obviously.)
Many guides and articles suggest offering a fixed percentage (a half, a third, a quarter...) of shopkeeper's first price. Alas, this doesn't work: many shopkeepers are perfectly aware of this tactic and will thus first offer an absolutely ridiculous price that can be tens or hundreds of times more than the real value, which they will then be more than willing to negotiate down to "half".
Instead, try to have a rough understanding of the item's value before you start haggling. For example, government-run craft shops and hotel gift shops generally have (high) fixed prices that will at least give you an upper boundary.
If the vendor's initial offer is too high by far, then feel free to laugh or show astonishment in some way. This is usually expected and will quickly indicate to the vendor that you are aware of the item's real value- even if you are not.
Just as vendors often start with absurdly high prices, you can do an equivalent trick by stating a price that is much lower than what you expect to pay in the end. This gives you some negotiating room. Don't go overboard though: if you offer a dollar for a carpet, the vendor will assume you have no idea of the item's true worth.
For prospective buyers, a common move is to bid the vendor farewell and start walking off. You will most certainly get at least two offers, each lower than the previous. Alternatively, the vendor may ask "How much do you want this?" (or words to that effect), which acknowledges the fact that they realise a potential sale is walking out of the door.
In some cultures it is also common for the salesman to walk off if the price is too low. This occurs the closer you get to the profit threshhold but stay firm, the salesman will return in minutes to try more bargaining (Ex: Ghana beach salesman).
If there are two or more of you, you can wax theatrical. He wants the item, but she holds the purse strings and won't pay the price, or whatever.
Be strong. Don't let them get to you, no matter how hard they push.
Be courteous and friendly (but firm) in your negotiations. If the vendor takes a personal liking to you, you will almost always get a better deal.
You might be offered tea, coffee, snacks, etc. You can accept it and it does not mean you have to buy anything. Although you may be 'guilt-tripped' later. Be strong-willed.
Do not let unknown locals help you bargain or find what you need. You will end up paying an extra commission.
If bargaining for something unique, don't show too much interest in the item you are actually interested in, or the vendor will know that they're your only choice and price accordingly.
The key to making a good deal is knowing the right price. If you know the right price you can just state your price, start leaving the store and your offer will be accepted. To learn the right price, ask other people what they paid for similar goods and try to make a better deal. If you buy several similar items, try to make a better deal each time.
If you are in a country that does not use Western numerals, then learn the local numbers. It will save you a lot of time and money when you are bargaining about a hotel room and there is a price list right in front of you. You should still bargain, but it gives you a starting point.
Find two sellers with the same products and play one off against the other.
Learning to count in the local language can win you some respect and therefore a better price. If you can, stick to the local language even if the seller uses English or your own language.
But when bargaining, do so responsibly.
Be honest. If you make a counteroffer, you're now committed to that price. Don't waste your time or the seller's time bargaining if you have no intention of buying.
Choose your battles. By all means bargain when buying a carpet from a posh bazaar shop. But if a bottle of water is too expensive, buy it somewhere else.
Even in cultures where haggling is the norm, many items do have fixed prices. For example, groceries and alcohol usually have fixed prices. If you are asked to pay €5 for a bottle of water, do not start haggling, go somewhere else. Do not haggle when buying e.g. bus tickets; check for a price list in the bus terminal or ask the other passengers in the line or look over the shoulder of the one in front of you to see what the locals pay.
Do not let the other person "lose face". Often it is said that "everything is negotiable" - but it isn't. Loss of face is never negotiable. Be aware that the person with whom you are dealing has a family and responsibilities. You are trying to find an agreed position.
Remember that vendors are generally not evil swindlers attempting to trick people out of their hard-earned money; they are often businessmen working to support their families. When haggling, your goal is not to eliminate their profit, but to find a mutually satisfactory price.Don't take it too seriously. Have a sense of humor and know when to accept an offer. Remember that usually the amounts you are arguing over are actually a pittance to a traveler from the West, but might mean far more to the vendor.

Giving Invitations
