Sabda Nabi S.A.W: "Umat akhir zaman akan ditimpa penyakit “wahan” yang menyebabkan Allah cabut kehebatan Islam dalam hati. " Apa itu "wahan"?" tanya sahabat. Jawab Baginda: “Cintakan dunia dan takut mati!”...

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." ~ President John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962
