Janos Baranyai, Hungarian weightlifter, dislocates elbow during lift at Beijing 2008

Hungarian strongman Janos Baranyai’s first Olympics ended in agony Wednesday when he dislocated his right elbow in the ugliest moment yet of the Olympic weightlifting competition.

Baranyai was trying to snatch 148 kg (326.3 pounds) in his third lift in the men’s 77-kilogram division, when his elbow popped out of socket.

No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain.

Hungary’s coaching staff and competition officials rushed to Baranyai’s aid as he lay trembling on the floor, his arm limp and twisted out of position.

Why do we read Quran?

Why do we read Quran, even if we can’t understand a single Arabic word???? This is a beautiful story.

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, ‘Grandpa! I try to read the Quran just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur’an do?’

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, ‘Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.’

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, ‘You’ll have to move a little faster next time,’ and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, ‘I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,’ and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, ‘See Grandpa, it’s useless!’

‘So you think it is useless?’ The old man said, ‘Look at the basket.’

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

‘Son, that’s what happens when you read the Qur’an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.’

A very touching story…

Apabila Manusia Menjadi Binatang.

Firman Allah di dalam Surah Al-Naml, Ayat 80-85
Sesungguhnya engkau tidak dapat menjadikan orang-orang yang mati (hatinya) itu menerima ajaranmu dan tidak dapat menjadikan orang-orang yang pekak itu mendengar seruanmu, apabila mereka berundur ke belakang (disebabkan keingkarannya). (80)

Dan engkau tidak akan dapat memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang yang buta supaya menjauhi kesesatan mereka; engkau tidak dapat memperdengarkan (seruanmu itu) melainkan kepada orang-orang yang sanggup beriman akan ayat-ayat keterangan Kami, kerana mereka orang-orang yang berserah diri dengan ikhlas. (81)

Dan apabila sampai masa berlakunya hukuman atas manusia, Kami keluarkan untuk mereka sejenis binatang dari bumi, yang akan menyatakan kepada mereka, bahawa manusia telah tidak meyakini ayat-ayat keterangan dan pengajaran Kami. (82)

Dan (ingatlah) hari Kami himpunkan dari tiap-tiap umat sekumpulan besar orang-orang yang mendustakan ayat-ayat keterangan Kami, lalu mereka dijaga serta diatur keadaan dan perjalanan masing-masing. (83)

Sehingga apabila mereka datang (ke tempat pengadilan), Allah Taala berfirman: Adakah kamu mendustakan ayat-ayat keteranganKu dengan tidak lebih dahulu kamu mengetahuinya secara meliputi? Atau apakah yang kamu telah lakukan? (84)

Dan jatuhlah hukuman atas mereka (dengan azab) disebabkan kezaliman mereka (berlaku kufur ingkar), lalu mereka diam membisu. (85)

Lebuh Raya Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2)

Pada bulan Ogos 2004, Lebuh Raya Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2) ditutup buat pertama kali berikutan masalah keretakan rasuk tiangnya.

Pada Februari 2006, ia sekali lagi ditutup akibat masalah yang sama yang memerlukan struktur itu dibaik pulih dengan kos RM70 juta.

Pada tahun ini, Lebuh Raya Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2) di sini yang dibina dengan kos RM238 juta dan telah pun dibaik pulih menggunakan belanja tambahan RM70 juta mengalami keretakan sekali lagi.

Pengguna Lebuhraya Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2) tidak perlu bimbang menggunakannya kerana strukturnya masih utuh, kata timbalan ketua pengarah kerja raya I Datuk Ir Mohamad Husin.”JKR ingin mengesahkan struktur jejambat MRR2 itu selamat digunakan,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan.

“Tiada keretakan baru dilaporkan atau keretakan lama yang timbul semula seperti yang dilaporkan sebelum ini,” katanya, lapor Bernama.

 

Oleh itu, yang dikatakan betul-betul rosak dan tidak boleh dipakai lagi adalah seperti berikut:
