Transplantig Memories....


Last Saturday 12th Apr 2008, our beloved "Cik Alang" (aka As Sahibus Samaahah, Al Fadhil..err, my younger brother, his title u c) came a calling from Johore Baru , coming to town to attend an exhibition held at PWTC. While relaxing in our mom's kitchen, he started reciting a hadeeth as follows:

On the authority of Al -Numan bin Basheer, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say"
"That which lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus he avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and hi honor but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a santuary, all but graing therin. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah's santuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart.

Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim

Ketahuilah, bahawa di dalam diri anak Adam itu ada seketul daging, yang bila ianya baik maka baik seseorang itu, dan apabila buruk, buruklah amalan seseorang itu, ketahuilah, ia adalah hati” (Riwayat Muslim)


It is interesting to note that the the English translation of "Qalb" is called "heart", primarily whose function is to pump blood. Recently scientists have discovered that transplanting hearts are no limited to transplanting organs but of memories, attitudes as well. Weird still, a heart transplant recipient received a heart from a donor (donor died by committing suicide), married the donor's wife, and committed suicide in the same manner executed by the donor.
