Health benefits in Pistachios

Pistachios are rich source of energy; 100g of nuts contain 55 calories. Nonetheless, the nuts contain many health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for optimum health.

The nuts are rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids like oleic and an excellent source of antioxidants. Regular intake of pistachios in the diet help to lower total as well as bad LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL cholesterol levels in the blood.

Dividend Policy

I would like to share about my 13th chapter of Financial Managerial of Principal.

Dividends are payments made to stockholders from a firm's earnings, whether those earnings were generated in the current period or in previous periods.

Dividends may affect capital structure.

• Retaining earnings increases common equity relative to debt.
• Financing with retained earnings is chapter than issuing new common equity.

Dividend Policy means once a company makes a profit, management must decide on what to do with those profits. They could continue to retain the profits within the company or they could pay out the profits to the owners of the firm in the form of dividends. 

Once the company decides on whether to pay dividends they may establish a somewhat permanent dividend policy which may in turn impact on investors and perceptions of the company in the financial markets. What they decide depends on the situation of the company now and in the future. It also depends on the preferences of investors and potential investors.

Love my UMMi so So much !

Mom = Ummi

My Ummi carried me for nine months. She felt sick for those months nausea, then she watched her feet swell and her skin stretch. She teared. She struggled to climb stairs, she got breathless quickly and she even suffered many sleepless nights. She then went through excruciating pain to bring me into this world. Then, she became my nurse, my chef, my maid, my chauffeur, my biggest fan, my teacher and my best friend. She struggled for me, cried over me, hoped the best for me and prayed for me. Most of us take our mom for granted. I love my Ummi so so much more than anything else in the world. Miss her badly :'(

Devils Make A Third

What do you do if you love someone so so much but you can't get married?
That's the answer guys --> stay stay away from them!
It's not like if you stay away from them, its the end of the world.
or...u can't live without them. right?.. right?..
Those statement are ust overrated. You know it and I know it.
That love so so much is coming from your desire, nafsu. Fight it!
We are fighters, yeah! :)
In fact, fighting your lust, desires is the biggest jihad.
because once you're involved in these kind of things, you're gonna stray.
First, you're texting, then calling, then going out together in groups, then you're going out ust the two of you.
And everyone knows when an unmarried couple meets alone,
shaytan is amongst them.
This will eventually lead to "u know what". hmmph..

Hadith - Ahmad and Al-Tirmidzi 311, Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab,
Tirmidzi transmitted it.
The Prophet (SAW) said, "Whenever a man is alone with a woman, the Devil makes a third."

Basically, what I'm saying here everyone already knows.
Its a reminder to me, you them, they, we, us.
Its just a matter of choosing Islam above your desires.
Ask yourself, can you live your life with the love of your life.
That you love so so much
but without the love of ALLAH SWT?
nauzubillah...

# If you're married, that's a different story.

Give a Heart to ALLAH

"When you go closer to Islam, it's natural for you to become alone. People won't be there as much as there were, and you'll have a hard time connecting with anyone on any sort of level. But, ALLAH does this give you strength, to enrich you with independence from imperfection and to rely only on Him."


Subhanallah...just by reading the above statement is already comforting for me :')
Indeed, ALLAH is always with us...Alhamdulillah..
