Reds complete Meireles deal

Liverpool have completed the signing of Portuguese midfielder Raul Meireles on a four-year contract.

The Reds have paid 14 million euros for the services of the 27-year-old midfielder, who has won four titles with Porto and been capped 38 times by Portugal, including in all four of his country's games in this summer's World Cup.

Quoted in the Sunday Express, he said: ''Roy Hodgson was key to me coming here because he worked so hard to sign me. I am Meireles and not Mascherano and that will be clear to the fans. I hope one day the Liverpool fans will remember me for being successful.''

Siyam & Qiyam Ramadhan

1. Ada dua perkara penting dalam ibadah puasa Ramadhan.

2. Pertama kewajipan untuk melaksanakan ibadah puasa Ramadhan. Hikmahnya agar terjana rasa dan nilai taqwa sebagaimana dalam surah al-Baqarah ayat 183.

3. Nabi s.a.w. bersabda maksudnya : "Sesiapa yang berpuasa (siyam) Ramadhan dengan penuh iman dan mengharap pahala, diampunkan baginya dosanya yang telah lalu". (Riwayat al-Bukhari).

3. Maka puasa bukan sekadar menahan diri daripada tidak makan dan tidak minum sahaja.

4. Perkara kedua ialah qiyam Ramadhan. Sabda Nabi s.a.w. maksudnya : "Sesiapa yang qiyam Ramadhan dengan penuh iman dan mengharap pahala maka diampunkan baginya dosanya yang telah lalu". (Riwayat al-Bukhari).

5. Apakah maksud qiyam Ramadhan? Ia difahami sebagai melakukan ibadah pada bulan Ramadhan termasuk ibadah sunat pada malam hari. Maka solat sunat Terawih termasuk dalam erti qiyam Ramadhan.

6. Dengan memahami dua perkara ini, moga-moga ibadah puasa kita menjadi suatu ibadah yang diteriman oleh Allah, Ameen.

Liverpool - In Depth Analysis

On the pitch

Goalkeeper

Pepe Reina is arguably the very best custodian the league currently has to offer.

Defenders

Carragher is fading as a defensive force, and neither Agger nor Skrtel are of the highest quality. Johnson solid but not elite, either.

Midfielders
Aquilani return and Mascherano stay give midfield real quality. Gerrard seems motivated for a memorable season.

Attack

Torres might be the finest player in the league. Cole and Jovanovic provide new and improved support.

Manager

Roy Hodgson finally has himself another big job. But can he impress his methods on a group of bigger egos?

Off the pitch

Hunger

With Benitez departed and Roy Hodgson in place, everyone at the club should be working with the sole goal of bringing Liverpool back to their rightful place in English football.

Leaders
Carragher and Gerrard give the side a real sense of purpose and direction, and where they go the others will tend to follow.

Squad Depth
A problem last season, off-season free transfers and youth acquisitions have plugged a number of gaps. But an injury to Fernando Torres would still be disastrous.

Pressure
Expectations are lower to some extent this season, as fans realise the club is struggling in light of the current ownership situation. If anything, players might be slightly freer to express themselves after last season's disaster.

Experience
Squad not manifestly different from group that finished second the season before last. They know what it takes to get back to that level.

Verdict

First choice eleven — and a handful of substitutes — is as good as any of their rivals for Champions League football. But an injury to Fernando Torres, despite David Ngog's gradual emergence, would really hit the club hard, and with that and a new manager to bed in it seems unlikely the club can immediately challenge for the title. With the Spaniard's injury record, even fourth might be a bridge too far in this rebuilding campaign.

Liverpool - Home Grown Quotas

Tasked with regenerating Liverpool's fortunes following a disappointing last campaign, new manager Roy Hodgson's immediate task fell into two areas - convincing his best players to stay, and swelling the Anfield club's rather sorry number of home-grown players.

He started with a bang on both fronts, bringing England international Joe Cole into the club on a free and then persuading Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres to commit their immediate futures to the club.

However, Hodgson is still left with a squad very top-heavy with foreign players. Former Charlton star Jonjo Shelvey, while English, is a 'freebie' as he is under-21, while Hodgson's attempts to bring Luke Young to the club failed.

The re-signing of Fabio Aurelio and captures of Danny Wilson from Rangers and Christian Poulsen from Juventus only buoy an already large foreign contingent too - though Javier Mascherano looks set to leave for Inter Milan.

A total of just four senior home-grown players tells its own tale of previous manager Rafael Benitez's transfer policy - though it could at least provoke a spate of promotions from the youth ranks and provide a number of Anfield youngsters with a rare chance to impress.

That is unless one of the hive of interested parties reported to be looking at buying the club proves successful, in which case a late-window transfer rush could ensue.

NON-HOME-GROWN: Daniel Agger, Alberto Aquilani, Fabio Aurelio, Ryan Babel, Diego Cavalieri, Nabil El Zhar, Milan Jovanovic, Dirk Kuyt, Sotiros Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Javier Mascherano, Damien Plessis, Christian Poulsen, Pepe Reina, Maxi Rodriguez, Martin Skrtel, Fernando Torres.

SENIOR HOME-GROWN: Jamie Carragher, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson.

SELECTED UNDER-21s: Daniel Ayala, Laurie Dalla Valle, Peter Gulacsi, Emiliano Insua, Steven Irwin, Martin Kelly, Krisztian Nemeth, David Ngog, Jonjo Shelvey, Jay Spearing, Danny Wilson.

POTENTIAL TARGETS: Maynor Figueroa, Paul Konchesky, Loic Remy.

VERDICT: In need of some more home comforts.

Salam Ramadhan 1432H

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, telah diwajibkan puasa ke atas kamu seperti mana telah diwajibkan ke atas orang-orang sebelum kamu. Semoga kamu bertaqwa"
(Surah al-Baqarah : ayat 183)

Selamat menunaikan ibadah puasa. Semoga kita berusaha untuk mencapai objektif utama puasa iaitu menjadi hamba Allah yg bertaqwa. Amin ya Rabb.

Info Bulan Syaaban

Erti Syaaban ialah berpecah-pecah atau berpuak-puak. Masyarakat Quraiysh pada waktu itu terpaksa berpecah kepada beberapa kumpulan untuk mencari sumber air di padang pasir.

Dan apabila Rasulullah SAW datang, beliau mengekalkan nama itu sehinggalah sekarang. Rasulullah SAW telah menyebut tentang pelbagai kelebihan bulan Syaaban dalam hadis-hadisnya. Diantara hadis yang paling masyhur ialah; Rasulullah SAW bertanya kepada sahabat-sahabatnya,

“Tahukah kamu sekelian mengapa dinamakan dengan bulan Syaaban?” Para sahabat menjawab, “Allah dan RasulNya lebih mengetahui” Sabda Rasulullah SAW, “Kerana dalam bulan itu berkembanglah kebaikan yang banyak sekali.” (Dipetik dari kitab Raudatul Ulama).

Bulan Syaaban merupakan bulan kedua selepas Rejab yang penuh dengan keberkatan. Sebahagian ahli hikmah menyatakan bahawa sesungguhnya bulan Rejab adalah kesempatan untuk meminta ampun dari segala dosa, pada bulan Syaaban adalah kesempatan untuk memperbaiki diri dari segala macam cela dan pada bulan Ramadhan adalah masa untuk menerangkan hati dan jiwa.

Di antara amalan-amalan yang digalakkan pada bulan Syaaban adalah:

Memperbanyakkan puasa sunat Sebagaimana yang telah dijelaskan terdahulu bahawa Rasulullah SAW. lebih gemar untuk berpuasa sunat dalam bulan Syaaban berbanding dengan bulan-bulan yang lain. Justeru itu adalah patut bagi kita selaku umat Baginda mencontohinya dalam memperbanyakkan puasa sunat bagi menyemarak dan mengagungkan bulan Syaaban ini.

Di dalam kitab Durratun Nasihin ada menyebut sebuah hadis yang menyatakan bahawa Rasulullah SAW. bersabda yang maksudnya: "Barangsiapa berpuasa tiga hari pada permulaan Syaaban dan tiga hari pada pertengahan Syaaban dan tiga hari pada akhir Syaaban, maka Allah Taala mencatat untuknya pahala seperti pahala tujuh puluh nabi dan seperti orang-orang yang beribadat kepada Allah Taala selama tujuh puluh tahun dan apabila dia mati pada tahun itu maka dia seperti orang yang mati syahid."

Memperbanyak doa, zikir dan berselawat kepada Rasulullah S.A.W. Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W.: "Barangsiapa yang mengagungkan bulan Syaaban, bertaqwa kepada Allah, taat kepada-Nya serta menahan diri dari perbuatan maksiat, maka Allah Taala mengampuni semua dosanya dan menyelamatkannya di dalam tahun itu dari segala macam bencana dan penyakit." (Dipetik dari kitab Zubdatul Wa'izhin)

Bertaubat Diriwayatkan dari Umamah Al Bahili Radiallahuanhu, dia berkata: Rasulullah S.A.W. bersabda yang maksudnya: "Manakala masuk bulan Syaaban, sukacitalah dirimu dan perbaiki niatmu."
