I'm A Muslim

Lupanya Kamu

2012-02-19T21:34:00.002+08:00

Kamu selalu lupa untuk mengucapkan syukur pada Allah apabila bangun daripada tidur. Sedangkan Allah memberikanmu peluang hidup lagi setelah mematikanmu. Lupanya kamu.

اَلْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِى اَحْيَانَا بَعْدَمَا اَمَاتَنَا وَاِلَيْهِ النُّشُوْرَ

"Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah menghidupkan kami setelah mematikan kami, dan hanya kepadaNya lah tempat kembali"

Kamu selalu lupa untuk memohon pada Allah agar melindungimu daripada gangguan syaitan ketika kamu menggunakan bilik air. Tetapi Allah bermurah hati melindungimu daripadanya. Lupanya kamu.

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى اَعُوذُبِكَ مِنَ الْخُبْثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ

"Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung kepadaMu daripada syaitan jantan dan syaitan betina"

غُفْرَا نَكَ الله الَّذِى اَذْهَبَ عَنّى الأذَى وَعَا فَانِى

"Aku memohon kepada Engkau, yang telah menghilangkan gangguan dariku dan memberikan kesihatan"

Kamu selalu lupa memohon pada Allah sebelum makan, agar diberkati rezeqimu dan mengharapkan rezeqimu halal agar tidak dihumban kamu nanti ke dalam api neraka. Tetapi Allah memberkati rezeqimu, mengenyangkanmu, dan memberikan tenaga kepadamu. Lupanya kamu.

اَللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيْمَا رَزَقْتَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابً النَّارِ

"Ya Allah, berkatilah rezeqi yang Engkau berikan kepada kami, dan peliharalah kami dari siksa api neraka"

Seringkali juga kamu terlupa mengucapkan syukur kepada Allah selepas makan. Tetapi Allah telah memberikanmu makan dan minum dan menjadikanmu seorang Muslim. Lupanya kamu.

اَلْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِى اَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا وَجَعَلَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ

"Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah memberi kami makan dan minum serta menjadikan kami seorang Muslim"

Kamu selalu lupa untuk bertawakkal kepada Allah setiap kali kamu menjejakkan kaki keluar daripada rumahmu. Tetapi Allah menyelamatkan kamu dari segala perkara yang membahayakan nyawamu di sepanjang pemergianmu. Lupanya kamu.

بِسْمِ الله تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الله ,لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ الا بِالله

"Dengan menyebut nama Allah, aku menyerahkan diriku kepada Allah dan tidak ada daya dan kekuatan selain dengan Allah sahaja"

Kamu selalu lupa untuk memohon kemudahan dan kesejahteraan sewaktu menaiki kenderaanmu. Tetapi Allah menyelamatkan bagi kamu, perjalanan pergi dan pulang kamu. Lupanya kamu.

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِى سَخَرَلَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِيْنَ وَاَنَّ إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ

"Maha suci Allah yang memudahkan kenderaan ini bagi kami, sedangkan kami tidak mampu memudahkan kepadaNya, dan kepada Allah kami kembali"

Kamu juga akhirnya lupa untuk menyebut nama Tuhanmu sebelum kamu tidur. Tetapi Allah Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang, Dia menghidupkanmu semula selepas mematikanmu. Lupanya kamu.

بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ اَمُوتُ وَاَحْيَا

"Dengan namaMu Ya Allah yang menghidupkan dan mematikan"

P/s: Buat saya dan kamu yang sentiasa lupa. (^_^)

Dia Muhammad Telah Pergi

2012-02-17T14:48:00.001+08:00

Berita kewafatan Rasulullah saw segera tersebar ke seluruh kota Madinah. Orang ramai terkejut dan masing-masing tidak dapat menahan kesedihan. Mereka berebut-rebut menziarahi Rasulullah saw. Tetapi kerana terlalu ramai, mereka terpaksa mengikut giliran. Mereka menangis meratap hiba. Umar Al-Khattab juga tidak dapat menahan perasaannya. Sebaik sahaja mendengar berita itu, beliau segera keluar dari rumahnya dan berlari-lari menuju ke rumah Rasulullah saw. tetapi beliau tidak dapat masuk kerana orang terlalu ramai. Tambahan pula, hanya keluarga Muhammad saw yang dibenarkan masuk dahulu.

Umar Al-Khattab berjalan mundar-mandir. Dia terdengar mereka sedang bercakap berkenaan Rasullulah saw. Ada yang percaya, ada pula yang tidak percaya. Malah ada pula yang mengatakan selepas beliau wafat maka umat Islam akan kembali ke agama asal nenek moyang mereka.

"Orang munafik yang lemah imannya mengatakan Rasulullah saw sudah meninggal dunia. Beliau tidak wafat tetapi pergi menghadap Allah seperti yang dilakukan oleh Nabi Musa a.s. dahulu. Nabi Musa pergi meninggalkan kaumnya 40 hari 40 malam. Kemudian beliau kembali kepada kaumnya."

"Demi Allah, Nabi Muhammad saw itu pesuruh Allah, beliau pergi sebentar dan pasti kembali. Saya memberi amaran keras. Sesiapa yang berani mengatakan Nabi Muhammad saw sudah wafat, nescaya saya potong tangan dan kakinya," teriak Umar Al-Khattab sambil menghunus pedangnya.

Melihat kelakuan Umar Al-Khattab yang sudah hilang pertimbangan, orang ramai semakin gelisah. Mereka tidak berani lagi bercakap mengenai kewafatan Rasulullah saw. Beberapa orang sahabat menemui Abu Bakar As-Siddiq.

"Umar Al-Khattab mengancam akan membunuh sesiapa sahaja yang mengatakan Rasulullah saw sudah wafat. Kata-katanya itu menakutkan orang ramai. Perkara ini tidak boleh dibiarkan. Kita perlu melakukan sesuatu," Kata Ikramah.

Abu Bakar As-Siddiq segera menghadap orang ramai lalu berkata, "Saya akan melihat sendiri keadaan Rasulullah saw. Selepas itu saya akan memaklumkan keadaan beliau."

"Itulah yang sebaiknya. Pergilah segera masuk ke rumah Rasululla saw," kata Ikramah.

Abu Bakar As-Siddiq segera masuk ke rumah Rasulullah saw. Dilihatnya jasad Nabi Muhammad saw yang mulia itu terbaring dan seluruh tubuhnya ditutup dengan kain. Abu Bakar As-Siddiq bersimpuh di sisi jenazah Rasulullah saw lalu membuka kain yang menutup wajahnya. Abu Bakar As-Siddiq mencium dahi Nabi Muhammad saw lalu berkata, " Kepada Allah kita datang dan kepada Allah juga kita pulang. Sesungguhnya maut yang ditakdirkan Allah bagi sekalian makhluknya sudah tuan rasakan sekarang dan selepas ini tuan tidak akan merasakan kematian buat selama-lamanya."

Kemudian Abu Bakar As-Siddiq menutup semula wajah Rasulullah saw dengan kain. Beliau keluar dari rumah Aisyah. Pada masa itu, orang ramai sedang mendengar Umar Al-Khattab berucap. Sebaik sahaja mereka melihat Abu Bakar As-Siddiq, mereka mengerumuni beliau.

"Bagaimana keadaan Rasulullah saw?. Beritahu kami keadaan beliau yang sebenarnya," desak mereka.

"Wahai sahabatku Umar Al-Khattab, bertenang dan marilah berdiri di sebelah saya. Saya akan bercakap perkara yang sebenarnya dan saya tidak takut kepada sesiapa melainkan Allah," kata Abu Bakar As-Siddiq.

Umar Al-Khattab datang lalu berdiri di sebelah kanan Abu Bakar As-Siddiq. Ikramah dan Abu Ubaidah pula berdiri di belakang umar Al-Khattab dan bersedia menghadapai segala kemungkinan.

"Bertenang tuan-tuan semua. Kita dengarkan apa yang akan dikatakan oleh Abu Bakar As-Siddiq," kata Abu Ubaidah.

Orang ramai menumpukan perhatian kepada Abu Bakar As-Siddiq. Suasana yang bsising bertukar senyap. Masing-masing menumpukan perhatian kepada perkara yang hendak diucapkan oleh Abu Bakar As-Siddiq.

"Wahai kaum muslimin, barang siapa yang menyembah Muhammad, ketahuilah Muhammad sudah wafat. barang siapa yang meneymbah Allah swt, maka Allah itu hidup dan tidak akan mati," kata Abu Bakar As-Siddiq. Kemudian dia membacakan ayat suci yang bermaksud,

"Muhammad itu hanyalah seorang Rasul. Sudah berlalu sebelumnya beberapa orang Rasul. Apakah sekiranya dia wafat atau terbunuh maka kamu berpatah balik ke belakang? Barang siapa yang berbalik ke belakang maka tidak mendatangkan apa-apa pun kerugian kepada Allah sedikit pun. Dan Allah akan memberi balasan kepada orang yang bersyukur." [Ali-Imran:144]

Umar Al-Khattab kelihatan terpegun apabila mendengar ayat-ayat suci yang dibacakan oleh Abu Bakar As-Siddiq. Jiwanya yang keras berubah lembut. Dia menyarungkan pedangnya dan berkata, "Benar apa yang dikatakan Abu Bakar As-Siddiq. Saya dikuasai perasaan marah sehingga terlupa ayat Allah itu".

Suasana menjadi hiba dengan pemergian Baginda Nabi saw. Mereka akhirnya telah kehilangan seorang Rasul, seorang pemimpin umat Islam dan juga kekasih hati mereka.

Akhirnya mereka menerima kenyataan yang Rasulullah saw sudah wafat. Beliau sudah pergi menghadap kekasih agungnya, Allah swt.

Pergi buat selama-lamanya.

P/s: Malam tadi sempat tadabbur ayat Al-Quran di atas bersama ikhwah yang lain. Sebak hati teringatkan kisah ini jadi saya nukilkan kisah yang menyayat hati ini kepada kalian semua. Moga kita semakin cinta kepada Baginda Nabi saw. Jadilah saksi saya di Akhirat kelak, bahawasanya, saya sangat-sangat mencintai Baginda saw. Mohon doa kalian dipertemukan saya dan Baginda, dan di kuatkan saya di sepanjang meniti jalan dakwah ini. Akhir sekali, mari kita bersama-sama berselawat ke atas Baginda saw. Moga-moga, Baginda saw menjadi saksi kita nanti di Akhirat dan memberikan syafaat kepada kita.

English Subtitle / Translation

If the beloved (saw) were among us
Those from far & near will come to him (saw)
Hoping to see the sun of goodness before it sets
Desiring to be near to Him (saw)
In this company the soul feels great
On that moment If it prays to Allah, Allah will surely answer
The light of Taha (saw) will not cease to exist
Oh Ya Allah who answers prayer, please fulfill our hope to meet him (saw)

I am willing to sacrifice my life for you
Oh beloved (saw) Muhammad saw honor of strangers
In your company the soul feels great
Oh mercy to all the worlds (saw)

Andai Rasulullah masih ada bersama kami : لو كان بيننا الحبيب
Pasti yang jauh dan dekat akan datang kepadanya : لدينا القاصى والقريب
Mengharapkan kebaikan Rasulullah sebelum ianya berakhir : من طيبة قبل المغيب
Dengan harapan dapat mendampingi Rasulullah : طالبا قرب الحبيب
Kerana mendampinginya jiwa menjadi tenang : بقربه نفس تطيب

Sebagai kasih sayang Tuhan pemberi hidayah
Bicaramu bagaikan sungai yang jernih
Berdamping denganmu bagaikan dahan yang segar dan basah

Ku tebuskan diriku dengan dirimu, wahai Rasulullah : فدتك روحي يا حبيب
Wahai Muhammad yang memuliakan segala makhluk : محمد مكرم الغريب
Berada disisimu jiwa menjadi tenang: بقربك الروح تطيب
Wahai pembawa rahmat kepada sekelian alam : يا رحمة للعالمين

Be Smart Enough To Enter Jannah!

2012-02-15T20:17:00.000+08:00

Jannah is the ultimate vision of many Muslims out there. The same goes with me.

We don't have eternal life here in the earth to do lots of good deed. So our ummah was given lots of bigger reward than ummah before us in every single good deeds we've done.

Be smart.

People, there are so many way to enter the Jannah. I'm not saying that entering the Jannah is easy, but we have to put our best effort into it. In the end of the day, we pray may Allah swt grant us His Jannah.

There are lots of hadith related to this topic, the 25 hadiths above just small part of it. Be smart. We know ourselves that we can't put our effort into everything mentioned above. Focus on a few of it and steadfast with it. The best way is to stay Istiqamah in anything good we've focus into. Try it!. Who knows if Allah swt wanna give you Jannah?. (^_^)

Muhasabah: Act Like A Doctor

2012-02-14T21:57:00.002+08:00

Muhasabah is indeed important. It keeps us going forward and not repeating the same mistake again and again. Thus, for us Muslims, tomorrow will be a whole new day to begin with.

I love how a doctor thinks. They list out the problems, and they plan out the management for the problems. Treating the disease is like solving the puzzle.

Sometime we have to treat ourselves!. Credit

Here is some example;

22/Malay/Female
Gravida 1 Para 0 @ 36 week Period of Amenorrhea

Problems/
(1) High blood pressure in pregnancy
     -140/110 mmHg at antenatal checkup
     -was not on any antihypertensive drug
     -started >20 week POA
     -urine protein 100mg/24 hours

(2) Bronchial asthma
     -no attack in this pregnancy
     -last attack was on March 2011
     -on MDI salbutamol

Plan/
(1) Admit antenatal ward
(2) Trace urine FEME
(3) Observe BP
(4) KIV to continue T. Labetolol if BP persistently high
(5) Trace pre-eclampsia profile
(6) Pre-eclampsia chart

(Note: I'm currently in Oby Gyn posting, so it is convenient for me to give an example based on a case I've seen through out the posting.)

Is a doctor great?. No i don't think so. I admire their way of thinking. they know how to help patient based on their knowledge.

I'm more admire a Muslim who keep to himself at night just before sleep, thinking about the problems in his daily life. A problem can be anything, between themselves and Allah swt or to another human beings.

Thus, list out all the problems, and think how to solve them. If we have a problem of getting up early for Subuh prayer, then the suggested solution is getting to bed as early as possible.

Didn't Allah swt said that everything in this life is within our own scope?. So everything we encounter in our daily life must have a solution. Easy way or hard way, it depends on yourself on how to managed those problems.

لاَ يُكَلّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ
"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned." [Al-Baqarah :286]

So my brother, keep yourself checked every night prior to sleep. What is important is actually how you will manage those sort of problems in a way that Allah swt please. Keep this in your mind and be stronger each and every day!.

Al-Anfaal:2

2012-02-13T21:29:00.001+08:00

﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـناً وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ﴾

The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Ayat are recited unto them, they increase their faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Al-Anfaal:2)

`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said about the Ayah,

﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ﴾

(The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts)

"None of Allah's remembrance enters the hearts of the hypocrites upon performing what He has ordained. They neither believe in any of Allah's Ayat nor trust (in Allah) nor pray if they are alone nor pay the Zakah due on their wealth. Allah stated that they are not believers.

He then described the believers by saying,

﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ﴾

(The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts) and they perform what He has ordained,

﴿وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـناً﴾

(and when His Ayat are recited unto them, they increase their faith) and conviction,

﴿وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ﴾

(and they put their trust in their Lord), having hope in none except Him. ''

Mujahid commented on,

﴿وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ﴾

(their hearts Wajilat),

"Their hearts become afraid and fearful.'' Similar was said by As-Suddi and several others. The quality of a true believer is that when Allah is mentioned, he feels a fear in his heart, and thus implements His orders and abstains from His prohibitions.

Allah said in a similar Ayah,

﴿وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُواْ فَـحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُواْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُواْ اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُواْ لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّواْ عَلَى مَا فَعَلُواْ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴾

(And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (immoral sin) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins; -- and none can forgive sins but Allah -- and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know) (3:135),

and,

﴿وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى - فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِىَ الْمَأْوَى ﴾

(But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from vain desires. Verily, Paradise will be his abode.) (79:40-41)

Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrated that As-Suddi commented,

﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ﴾

"A man might be thinking of committing injustice or a sin. But he abstains when he is told, `Have Taqwa of Allah', and his heart becomes fearful.'''

Allah's statement,

﴿وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـناً﴾

(And when His Ayat are recited unto them, they increase their faith;)

is similar to His statement,

﴿وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَـذِهِ إِيمَـناً فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ءامَنُواْ فَزَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـناً وَهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ﴾

(And whenever there comes down a Surah, some of them (hypocrites) say: "Which of you has had his faith increased by it'' As for those who believe, it has increased their faith, and they rejoice) (9:124)

Al-Bukhari and other scholars relied on this Ayah (8:2) and those similar, as evidence that faith increases and varies in strength from heart to heart. This is also the view of the majority of the scholars of Islam, prompting some scholars, such as Ash-Shafi`i, Ahmad bin Hanbal and Abu `Ubayd to declare that this is the consensus of the Ummah, as we mentioned in the beginning of the explanation of Sahih Al-Bukhari. All the thanks and praises are due to Allah.

Allah said,

﴿وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ﴾

(And they put their trust in their Lord.)

Therefore, the believers hope in none except Allah, direct their dedication to Him alone, seek refuge with Him alone, invoke Him alone for their various needs and supplicate to Him alone. They know that whatever He wills, occurs and that whatever He does not will never occurs, that He alone is the One Who has the decision in His kingdom, without partners; none can avert the decision of Allah and He is swift in reckoning. Hence the statement of Sa`id bin Jubayr, "Tawakkul of Allah is the essence of faith".

Cintakan Dunia, Dambakan Akhirat

2012-02-12T22:09:00.000+08:00

Pernah atau tidak dalam kehidupan anda, anda berkehendak kepada sesuatu perkara tetapi anda tidak mampu mendapatkannya?.

Pernah atau tidak dalam kehidupan anda, anda menginginkan sesuatu yang terbaik buat diri anda dan apa yang anda ada sekarang tidak memuaskan hati anda?.

Pernah atau tidak, anda merasakan perasaan mencintai perkara-perkara dunia sehingga anda sukar untuk mendambakan perkara-perkara Akhirat?.

Pasti pernah bukan?. Kalau tidak pernah, saya rasa anda malaikat.

Saya beri contoh:

1) Seorang lelaki yang ingin mencari jodoh, kebiasaannya dia akan lihat pada rupa paras perempuan yang yang ingin dikahwininya. Dia juga menginginkan bakal isterinya datang dari keturunan yang baik, daripada keluarga yang kaya-raya dan paling tidak mempunyai Agama. Ada yang letakkan Agama sebagai perkara pertama, ada yang meletakkan Agama antara perkara paling kurang penting dalam kriteria bakal isterinya. Konklusinya, dia mahukan yang terbaik atau 'Perfect' pada isterinya. Sesetengah lelaki, dia dapat apa yang dia mahukan, sesetengah yang lain tidak.

2) Seorang perempuan yang baik, dia dinikahi oleh oleh seorang lelaki yang pada sangkaannya lelaki yang baik. Tetapi selepas pernikahan baru dia menyesal kerana ketika itu suaminya menunjukkan sikapnya yang sebenar. Dimarahi isterinya, dicaci-maki, dipukul sehingga lebam dan berdarah. Apa yang dia mampu buat adalah bersabar. Tak akan mahu bercerai, perempuan ini kalau boleh tidak mahu bergelar janda. Malu dengan masyarakat. Tetapi dalam hati, dia mahu suaminya berubah, dan dia berusaha ke arah itu dalam menasihati suaminya. Konklusinya, dia mahukan suaminya sekarang, menjadi suami yang baik. Situasi ini agak biasa di negara kita, rata-ratanya bercerai selepas si isteri memohon fasakh.

3) Satu pasangan suami isteri ingin memiliki sebuah rumah di Kuala Lumpur. Disebabkan harga rumah yang terlampau mahal, mereka hanya mampu membeli sebuah apartment. Bak kata orang, rumah atas angin, tidak bertanah. Tetapi mereka juga berharap, agar mereka mampu membeli sebuah rumah yang diingini mereka suatu hari nanti. Konklusinya, pasangan suami ini, mahukan sesuatu yang lebih baik berbanding apa yang mereka miliki sekarang ini. Ironinya, mereka mungkin tidak dapat membelinya walaupun mereka mengumpul duit sehingga berusia 60 tahun.

Realiti nampak kejam bukan?. Tetapi itulah dunia, sekejam mana ia, kita tetap cintakan ia bukan. Cara paling mudah untuk mengubati hati ini, adalah dengan kita mengharapkan segala apa yang kita kehendaki di dunia ini digantikan oleh Allah swt di Akhirat.

Kalau nak isteri yang ada Agama, cantik, kaya dan daripada keturunan yang baik, sekiranya tidak dapat di dunia, kita pohon pada Allah supaya kurniakan di Akhirat kelak kita seorang isteri yang kita hajati di dunia.

Kalau seorang perempuan itu tidak memperolehi seorang suami yang baik, pohon pada Allah supaya mengurniakan seorang suami yang baik di Syurga nanti.

Kalau nak rumah besar, tanah berekar-ekar, nak sungai sebelah rumah dan sebagainya, pohon pada Allah supaya gantikan apa yang kita ada di dunia ini dengan apa yang terbaik di Akhirat sana.

Mudah bukan?. Dengan kita tanamkan sikap tidak terlalu berharap pada dunia, kita semakin mendambakan Akhirat. Apa yang kita luahkan pada Allah dalam solat kita, dalam doa kita, walhal dalam hati kita sekalipun Allah dengar. Ini juga strategi untuk mendekatkan kita dengan Allah. Justeru, jangan berkecil hati dengan dunia, kerana kita akan berbahagia dan gembira di Akhirat kelak. Apa yang ada di dunia ini sementara, tetapi apa yang ada di Akhirat itu kekal selamanya.

P/s: Ok, saya juga seperti golongan contoh yang pertama. Moga-moga, Allah berikan saya seorang isteri yang solehah, yang punya Agama. Tolong-tolong doakan ya. Amin~.

Tujuan Hidup 1

2012-02-09T23:05:00.000+08:00

Allah swt menjadikan manusia dengan tujuan. Tetapi, masih ramai diantara manusia ini hidup di bumi Allah swt tanpa mengenali tujuan mereka. Tidak kurang juga ada yang tersalah sangka suatu perkara itu tujuan hidupnya mereka.

"Kenapa saya lahir ke dunia dan untuk apa saya hidup?". Persoalan ini ada dalam diri semua insan di muka bumi ini. Ada yang mencari, ada juga yang terawang-awangan langsung tidak mencari jawapannya. Tetapi ramai diantara mereka ini merasakan di dalam hati kecil mereka, mereka hidup dengan tujuan yang tersirat.

Ada antara manusia yang memilih Jesus sebagai tujuan mereka hidup, maka mereka memilih agama Kristian. Ada yang beranggapan Siddharta Gautama Buddha itu tuhan, maka mereka memilih agama Buddha. Tetapi kita umat Islam, menyakini bahawa Allah swt lah tujuan hidup ini, maka kita menganuti agama Islam.

Islam itu lebih besar dari sekadar agama. Agama itu pula bukan sekadar percaya. Islam itu cara hidup yang memandu umat manusia ini untuk bersaksi dengan Syahadatul Haq (Kalimah Yang Benar) bahawa tiada Tuhan yang berhak disembah selain Allah swt, dan Nabi Muhammad saw adalah pesuruhnya. Islam itu cara hidup yang memandu manusia kembali kepada fitrahnya untuk bertuhan. Islam itu cara hidup yang mengajar manusia untuk taat kepada Tuhannya.

Ada manusia yang mengambil jalan yang jauh dengan berimankan Tuhan selain Allah swt, tetapi akhirnya mereka mengenali Islam dan memeluk agama Islam. Maka apa yang mereka imani, sangat kuat berbanding manusia-manusia yang lahirnya Islam, yang gah mengatakan mereka Muslim. Sebab mereka bersusah payah mencari tujuan hidup mereka dan akhirnya mereka tenang mengimani Allah swt itu Tuhan mereka. Kita mungkin tidak merasa ketenangan seperti itu.

Sebab itu kita tidak pelik mengapa di negara kita ini, mereka yang menganuti agama Islam bukan daripada lahirnya, sangat kehadapan dalam menyebarkan dua kalimah yang mulia ini. Kerana apa?. Kerana mereka tahu inilah sebenar-benar keimanan, tiada keimanan kepada Tuhan selain Allah swt. Kita yang sudah lama beragama Islam ini, lenggang kangkung sahaja. Beranggapan nanti di Akhirat kelak, mereka juga akan memasuki Syurga, walaupun selepas mereka merasai celupan Neraka beribu-ribu tahun lamanya.

Tanggungjawab ini, kebanyakan daripada kita mengabaikannya. Mengucap sahaja pandai, tidak pernah diteliti maksud dan syarahan di sebaliknya. Syahadatul Haq (baca: Pengakuan Yang Benar) ini bukan hanya mengimani kewujudan Allah, para MalaikatNya, KitabNya, RasulNya, dan Hari Akhirat. Malah tanggungjawab syahadah ini tidak cukup setakat mengerjakan Solat, menunaikan Zakat,Puasa dan Haji. Ia tanggungjawab yang lebih besar daripada itu semua.

Tanggungjawab ini hanya terlaksana sekiranya orang-orang beriman menyampaikan Kalimah Haq ini ke seluruh pelusuk muka bumi dalam pelbagai bentuk antaranya amal soleh, akhlak yang terpuji, dan pemerintahan yang adil. Maka, kamu wahai orang beriman sekalian, bermulalah kamu menyampaikannya, dengan memahami terlebih dahulu, apa sebenarnya tanggungjawab yang tersirat disebalik Kalimah Syahadah ini.

Hari Lahir Kekasih Hati Saya

2012-02-04T23:48:00.000+08:00

Abdullah bin Mas'ud r.a. meriwayatkan,
"Rasulullah saw bersabda kepadaku, 'Bacakan suatu ayat kepadaku' Saya bertanya 'Wahai Rasullullah saw, bagaimana mungkin saya membacakan ayat untuk engkau, sedangkan ayat itu diturunkan kepada engkau?' Beliau bersabda, 'Aku suka mendengarkannya dari orang lain.' Maka saya membaca surah an-Nisa' hingga ke ayat '..dan Kami mendatangkan engkau (Muhammad) sebagai saksi atas mereka. (an-Nisa':41)' saya melihat kedua airmata Nabi saw berlinang air mata."
HR Tirmidzi, Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud dan Ahmad

Hadis ini, menyaksikan bahawa Baginda Muhammad saw menangis tatkala dibacakan ayat yang merupakan peringatan kepadanya. Lembutnya hati Rasulullah saw, hebatnya peringatan daripada al-Quran. Rasul saya ini, cinta saya yang kedua selepas Allah saw.

Hari ini, hari mulia kelahiran kekasih hati saya. Beliau sudah lama meninggalkan saya, hampir 1400 tahun yang lepas. Sabdanya, "Engkau bersama siapa yang engkau cintai", maka ketahuilah bahawasanya saya ini mencintaimu wahai Rasulullah. Saya melalu mengimpikan untuk bertemu dan bersama dengan kekasih ulung ini. Moga-moga, saya juga menjejakkan kaki ke Syurga bersamanya.

Kekasih saya ini, cintanya kepada Allah swt tidak terbatas. Namun saya juga mengharapkan secebis cinta daripadanya. Baginda tidak pernah saya lihat, dan tidak hidup sezaman dengan saya. Justeru, saya hanya mengenali Baginda melalui hadis-hadisnya. Semakin saya mengenali Rasulullah saw, semakin cinta saya padanya.

Saya akan mengalirkan airmata jika terfikirkan Baginda. Terlalu banyak persoalan di benak minda ini. "Wahai Rasullullah saw, adakah dikau rindu kepada empunya diri ini?", "Wahai Rasullullah saw, bagaimana dikau tegar dalam berdakwah sedangkan ianya terasa amat berat bagiku?", "Wahai Rasullah saw, bagaimana dalam keadaan ini aku tertawa, sedangkan engkau mungkin menangis?" dan banyak lagi.

Soalan-soalan yang sarat di fikiran menyebabkan saya membayangkan saya hidup di sisi kekasih agung ini. Saya juga kerap menangis tatkala memandangkan soalan-soalan ini dibiarkan tidak terjawab.

Saya sangat-sangat malu terhadap Baginda saw, andaikata beliau benar-benar bersama saya ketika ini. Saya tidak ingin Rasulullah saw melihat hakikat umat Islam pada ketika ini. Umat Islam hari ini kian parah dan tenggelam dalam perkara duniawi. Perkara ini, saya berhasrat untuk mengubahnya, dan saya tidak berseorangan dalam menjejaki tinggalan-tinggalan Baginda saw di jalan dakwah ini.

Sampai di sini dulu, saya mahu melelapkan mata dengan saki baki linangan air mata ini. "Wahai Rasulullah saw, ketahuilah, aku sangat merinduimu, sangat mencintaimu. Aku memohon syafaat daripadamu di Akhirat kelak dan aku berdoa supaya diriku berada di kalangan mereka yang berada disisimu di Syurga nanti."

My Hereafter Future

2012-02-02T14:36:00.000+08:00

These few days, i was speechless. I don't know myself what has been happening to my body. These are my signs and symptoms; palpitation, chest heaviness, sleepless, and speechless. I guess the latter symptom doesn't count, cause i also don't know the exact pathophysiology of speechless. I guess.

I have been always thinking about my fate in the hereafter, am I eligible to enter Jannah (The Paradise) or will be thrown to the An-Nar (The Hell). That made me always remember, that in everything that have been done previously or in the future, will affect my fate.

The thing is, I've been approached by one of my Ikhwah, to discussed about Baitul Muslim. As I have already told him, I will think about it seriously during my last semester in completing the Medical course. It's not like that I don't want to get married, it's just me, wavered.

I couldn't stop think about one thing, my Hereafter fate or future that will be determined by many factors. Among the important ones is my wife. In a hadith, to be simplified, there will be 4 persons that will drag a man into the Hell. They are his mother, his sisters, his wife and his daughter. Currently, the responsibility for my mother and sisters are still under my father's and i don't have any daughter yet. So my wife is the first person i will be responsible with.

My heart wavered a lot, my brain couldn't stop thinking about this huge responsibility. I've been praying for some times, hopefully Allah swt will guide me. I'm still waiting an answer or a clue from Him before I proceed to do anything.

"O you who believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [apointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded" (At-Tahrim:6)

P/s: If you are reading this, i just wanted you to know that you are a decent person. It's just me who needs some more time. If we are fated together, I want us get together till Jannah.

Thanks Allah & Be Patient

2012-01-30T22:17:00.000+08:00

I was in a bad condition today, i mean in term of my health. I believed, this is a way a Muslim tested by Allah swt. He did watched over us, are we gonna be nearer to Him or farther apart in this condition. Thus, I have to say 'Thanks oh Allah, for always watching over me and I'll always be patient of what had happen to me".

When I did strayed a bit, He keeps giving me such condition to keep me nearer to Him. This is love story between Us. Yeah, it is.

Being a Muslim is cool you know. In a hadith, our Prophet Muhammad saw did mentioned that, a Muslim is weird. Why?. When he is in a good condition, he thanks Allah and it is good for him, when he is in bad condition, all he does is being patient, and it is good for him. This hadith narrated by Imam Muslim.

So, keep thanking Allah in everything good that happen to us and be patient if there is something bad occurred. That way, a Muslim will be positive and even productive in their daily life. Doesn't sounds bad huh?. Let us practice then!.

Hujan Itu

2012-01-15T01:08:00.000+08:00

Hujan itu,

Membuka mataku,

Agar melihat ke satu sudut berbeza,

Dimana,

Rata-rata manusia mengeluh,

Kehidupan mereka berubah,

Disebabkan hujan.

Hujan itu,

Memberi sinar baru,

Kepada penduduk lain bumi,,

Mana kita kisah,

Tentang pohon-pohon hutan,

Mana kita kisah,

Tentang ikan di lautan,

Bagi mereka,

Hujan membuka pintu rezeqi dan perlindungan.

Hujan itu,

Menitiskan rahmat,

Ke setiap inci tanah,

Agar ia basah,

Memberi petunjuk,

Nikmat itu,

Sebenarnya sampai kepada setiap ciptaan,

Membasahi bumi Tuhan,

Untuk terus diberi sinar yang mencambah kehidupan.

Hujan itu,

Di zaman para nabi,

Terkadang bererti rezeqi,

Terkadang bala dari Tuhan itu terbukti,

Sebab itu,

Pesan Baginda yang dikasihi,

Pohonlah agar hujan itu menjadi rahmat,

Bukan menjadi laknat,

Yang turun tidak mengenal umat.

Hujan itu,

Memberi erti,

Kepada diri yang mudah alpa ini,

Kerana,

Setiap kali daku kebasahan dalam hujan,

Daku sebenarnya diliputi nikmat Tuhan,

Setiap kali titisan hujan mulai mewarnai bumi,

Daku memandang ke langit nan tinggi,

Mengingati akan adanya Tuhan yang memerhati,

Tuhan Pemberi Rezeqi.

Duhai Tuhan,

Semoga dengan turunnya hujan,

Turun jua redhaMu dalam setiap titisan.

Hidup Sesudah Mati

2012-01-13T22:47:00.000+08:00

Tiada tempat tinggal bagi seseorang yang akan dihuni setelah kematiannya,

Kecuali tempat tinggal yang telah ia bangunkan sebelum kematiannya.

Jika ia membangunkannya dengan kebaikan, maka indahlah (tempat tinggal itu),

Namun jika ia bangun dengan keburukan dosa-dosa,

Nescaya rugilah pemiliknya.

Jiwa (seseorang) itu selalu mencintai dunia, padahal ia tahu,

Bahawa zuhud dunia adalah dengan meninggalkannya,

Maka tanamlah pokok ketaqwaan itu selama kamu mampu,

Ketahuilah bahawa kamu akan menjumpainya setelah kematianmu.

Abu Fatiah Al-Adnani

Ironi, hidup selepas mati itu mumia. Itu pun hidup dalam bentuk mayat yang berbungkus-bungkus. Ini bagi sesiapa yang menonton cerita seperti The Mummy Return tentu terbayang sedemikian. Mumia mesti ada di padang pasir, berkaitan dengan piramid dan firaun. Paling kurang mesti ada emas tersimpan sama di dalam piramid itu. Itu karakteristik seorang mumia. Anda percaya atau tidak, terpulang.

Sudah mengarut.

Ada seseorang datang kepada Sufyan Ats Tasuri rhm. lalu berkata; "Berilah aku nasihat", kemudian Sufyan berkata; "Beramallah kamu untuk dunia sesuai dengan lamanya kamu tinggal di situ, dan beramallah kamu untuk akhiratmu berdasarkan kekalnya kamu dan keselamatanmu di akhirat." (Wafayatul a'yan li Ibni Khalikan Juz 2/287)

Dunia Medan Ujian

Ujian di dunia ini untuk menentukan siapa yang taat kepada Allah swt dan siapa yang durhaka kepadaNya. Ujian di dunia ini untuk menentukan siapa yang bersyukur kepada Allah swt dan siapa yang kufur dengan nikmatNya. Ujian di dunia ini untuk mengukur siapa yang lebih baik amal dan takwanya.

"Allah yang menciptakan kematian dan kehidupan untuk menguji kalian, siapakah di antara kalian yang paling baik amal perbuatannya" (QS Al-Mulk:2)

"Sesungguhnya Kami menjadikan apa yang ada di bumi sebagai perhiasan baginya, untuk menguji mereka, siapakah di antara mereka yang paling baik amal perbuatannya." (QS Al-Kahfi:7)

"Dan Kami menguji mereka dengan nikmat-nikmat yang baik dan bencana-bencana yang buruk, agar mereka kembali kepada kebenaran." (Qs Al-A'Raf:168)

"Dan Kami menguji kalian dengan keburukan dan kebaikan sebagai fitnah (cobaan sebenar-benarnya). Dan hanya kepada Kamilah kalian akan dikembalikan." (QS Al-Anbiya':35)

Menafsirkan ayat di atas, imam Ibnu Katsir berkata : "Maksudnya adalah kami menguji kalian, terkadang dengan pelbagai musibah, terkadang dengan berbagai kenikmatan. Kami akan melihat siapa yang bersyukur dan siapa yang kufur; siapa yang bersabar dan siapa yang putus asa."

Ibnu Abbas berkata: "Kami akan menguji kalian dengan kesusahan dan kelapangan, kesihatan dan penyakit, kekayaan dan kemiskinan, halal dan haram, ketaatan dan maksiat, petunjuk dan kesesatan."
(Ibnu Katsir Ad-Dimasyqi, Tafsir Al-Qur'anil 'Azhim, 5/342)

Sebagaimana seorang mumia punya karakteristik, begitu juga seorang hamba Allah swt. Karakteristik sebagai hamba adalah taat dan patuh pada perintah Allah swt, menjauhi laranganNya, dan etcetera. Dunia yang sementara ini juga punya karakter.

Karakter Seorang Dunia

Dalam peristiwa Israk Mikraj, Nabi saw menggambarkan dunia sebagai wanita tua yang bongkok. Tetapi bukan itu yang saya mahu fokuskan. Yang mahu ditekankan adalah sifat-sifatnya. Sudah tua pun kita tidak boleh pandang rendah. Mungkin disebabkan pengalamannya yang banyak, dunia mampu menipu kita.

Acah sahaja.

"Dan kehidupan dunia itu tidak lain hanyalah kesenangan yang menipu." (QS Ali Imran:185)

"Dan kehidupan di dunia itu tidak lain hanyalah mainan dan gurau senda belaka. Dan sungguh, akhirat itu adalah lebih baik bagi orang-orang yang bertaqwa, maka tidakkah kalian memahaminya." (Qs Al-An'am:32)

"Dan kehidupan dunia itu tidak lain hanyalah senda gurau dan main-main belaka. Dan sesungguhnya akhirat itulah kehidupan yang sebenarnya, kalau mereka mengetahui." (QS Al-Ankabut:64)

"Wahai kaumku, sesungguhnya kehidupan akhirat ini hanyalah kesenangan sementara, dan sesungguhnya akhirat itulah negeri yang kekal." (QS Al-Ghaafir:39)

"Dijadikan indah pada pandangan manusia kecintaan kepada apa-apa yang diingini, iaitu wanita-wanita, anak-anak, harta yang banyak dari jenis emas, perak, kuda-kuda pilihan, binatang-binatang ternak, dan sawah ladang. Itulah kesenangan hidup di dunia, dan di sisi Allah lah tempat kembali yang baik (syurga)." (QS Ali Imran:14)

See?. Dunia ini banyak trick. Pandai-pandailah kita nak atasinya macamana. Kita ambil analogi di bawah.

Ibarat seorang pemain bola, anggap sahaja dunia ini sebagai bola. Biar dunia di kaki, bukan dihati. Dah dapat kita tendang balik, bila perlu, kita kejar. Yang penting, tendang bola biar masuk ke dalam goal. Biar goal itu jadi tujuan sebenar kita (syurga). Gunakan bola (dunia) sehabis baik. Yang penting, main biar fair and clean (pahala), jangan dapat kad kuning (dosa kecil) atau kad merah (dosa besar) di tengah permainan. Sebab pengadil (Malaikat) awasi kita. Bila permainan tamat (kematian tiba), kita nak hasil yang baik, iaitu kemenangan berdasarkan goal. Kalau goal kita banyak, bermakna kita gunakan bola (dunia) sehabis baik.

Orang yang sayang dunia, dia tidak akan sepak bola.

Kontroversi betul statement (baca: kenyataan) ini. Yang di atas hanya analogi. Sebab saya main bola, dan itu analogi yang baik untuk saya kekal ingat hidup ini tidak lama. Kita akan bangkit semula untuk menghadap Allah swt. Di waktu itu, saya hanya ingin persembahkan kepada Allah hasil daripada dunia saya, iaitu usaha saya untuk menggapai syurga di akhirat. Hakikatnya, samada saya masuk syurga atau tidak, itu semua urusan Allah swt. Sebagai manusia yang merupakan hambaNya, saya wajib berusaha.

Dunia ini bukan angan-angan kosong. Bahkan kita tidak boleh berangan-angan pun. Segalanya perlu dibuktikan. Semua orang Islam percaya akan adanya hari Kiamat kemudian disusuli Hari Kebangkitan di Padang Mahsyar. Seterusnya kita akan diadili dengan seadil-adil timbangan oleh Allah Yang Maha Adil. Hanya ada dua pilihan, ke neraka atau ke syurga. Hendak ke neraka, kompem (baca:confirm) tidak mahu, hendak ke syurga pula rasa amat-amat tidak layak.

Hidup sesudah mati ini tak akan berkesudahan ceritanya. Yang saya sampaikan cuma secebis daripadanya. Buat masa ini, ambil pengajaran dan sampaikan pada yang lain. Semoga bermanfaat!.

Hierarki Cinta Dan Cita-Cita

2012-01-12T22:55:00.000+08:00

Bercinta itu tidak salah, yang menjadi kesalahan adalah apabila kita salah meletakkan keutamaan dalam bercinta. Bercita-cita itu tidak salah, yang menjadi kesalahan itu apabila kita mengenepikan cita-cita yang terutama dan terlalu mengejar cita-cita selainnya.

Dai's Cilik Kredit

Siapa yang kamu cinta?

"Allah, rasul, ibu bapa, suami/isteri, anak-anak, saudara-mara..."

Apa cita-cita kamu?

"Hendak menjejakkan kaki ke dalam syurga.."

Soalan di atas, budak tadika pun boleh jawab. Kalau saya cikgu tadika, saya boleh bagi 5 bintang lagi pada budak-budak tersebut. Hati kanak-kanak ini bersih dan suci, jawapan yang mereka berikan juga jawapan yang ikhlas. Sebab itu orang dewasa sukakan budak-budak. Kalau tidak suka, mohon maaf la, hati anda mungkin tidak suka pada perkara yang suci.

Kalau saya lontarkan soalan di atas pada kamu semua, mungkin ramai yang hilang arah jawapannya. Mungkin zaman dahulu kala, jawapan anda sewaktu kanak-kanak adalah jawapan tipikal seperti di atas. Namun sekarang, mungkin hierarki cinta anda sudah berubah. Boleh jadi, 'pakwe', 'makwe' juga ada dalam list tersebut. Boleh jadi juga anda tersilap meletakkan cinta kepada 'pakwe', 'makwe' anda melebihi cinta kepada Ibu bapa.

Saudara-saudari sekalian, saya mahu sebutkan, perkara di atas adalah kenyataan dunia hari ini. Pendidikan hari ini tidak membina kepada jiwa-jiwa yang memikirkan perkara ukhrawi (baca: perkara keakhiratan). Pendidikan hari ini membina manusia yang melihat dunia ini lebih daripada segala-galanya.

Syurga itu bukan lagi cita-cita terutama kita. Yang diterjemahkan menjadi cita-cita sebaik melangkah ke alam persekolahan darjah satu adalah pekerjaan di masa hadapan. Ini perkara yang baik untuk membina minda kanak-kanak melihat 20 tahun ke hadapan. Tetapi kenapa limitasinya kepada 20 tahun ke hadapan sahaja?. Menurut Ibnu Qayyim, bau aroma syurga itu boleh dicium dengan jarak 100 tahun. Justeru, syurga itu lebih jauh lagi ke hadapan!.

Kekal Selamanya

Nabi saw bersabda; "Penghuni syurga akan memasuki syurga dan penghuni neraka akan memasuki neraka, kemudian penyeru berdiri di antara mereka dan berkata, Wahai penghuni syurga, sekarang tidak ada lagi kematian. Wahai penghuni neraka, sekarang tidak ada lagi kematian. Semuanya kekal abadi di tempat masing-masing." (HR Bukhari & Muslim)

Nah, kalau di humban kita ke dalam neraka, dan jika selama-lamanya kita di dalamnya menurut perhitungan Allah swt, akan menyesal kita tidak berkesudahan. Sebab kita bercita-cita hanya untuk menjadi doktor, engineer, guru, polis, bomba dan sebagainya. Mana ada kita impikan untuk menggapai syurga. Kita usahakan dunia, sampai kita lupa usaha untuk menggapai syurga.

Bagi orang kafir, mereka meminta-minta kepada Allah, agar dikembalikan mereka ke dunia (dihidupkan semula) untuk berbuat kebaikan.

(Demikianlah keadaan orang kafir itu), hingga apabila kematian datang kepada seseorang daripada mereka, dia berkata: "Ya Tuhanku, kembalikanlah aku (ke dunia) agar aku dapat berbuat amal soleh terhadap yang telah aku tinggalkan." (QS Al-Mukminuun :99)

Menurut Ibnu Mas'ud dalam Tafsir Ibnu Katsir, Allah tidak memperkenankan permintaan mereka, kerana sekiranya dikembalikan mereka ke dunia, sudah pasti mereka akan terus memilih untuk terus melakukan kemaksiatan atau kembali kepada kekufuran. Kita mungkin seorang Muslim, tetapi sekiranya kematian itu tiba kepada kita dan bekal ke akhirat itu tiada, kita mungkin sahaja memohon kepada Allah sepertimana yang dipohon oleh orang-orang kafir untuk kembali ke dunia mengerjakan amal soleh yang ditinggalkan.

Waktu itu kita sedar, permohonan seperti itu tidak akan Allah tunaikan. Bagi setiap individu Muslim, kita diberi masa sesuai dengan setiap individu tersebut untuk melakukan amal soleh kepada Allah swt.

Nabi saw bersabda; "Ada dua nikmat yang sentiasa dirugikan oleh kebanyakan manusia, iaitu nikmat sihat dan nikmat masa lapang" (HR Bukhari dari Ibnu Abbas)

Sekarang sudah mula mengimpikan syurga?. Usaha menggapainya!.

Harga Sebuah Syurga

2012-01-12T01:04:00.000+08:00

Syurga itu sebenarnya tidak layak untuk kita katakan sebagai 'sebuah'. Malah kata Muhammad Ali Al-Kulaib dalam Ahwalunnar:

"Inilah negeri orang-orang yang dianugerahi kenikmatan dari kalangan para nabi, siddiqin, para syuhada' dan orang-orang soleh, negeri yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai, negeri yang istananya berbatu-batu emas, berbatu-bata perak, berbau kasturi wangi, dan bertatah mutiara dan yaqut.

Tanahnya berasal dari za'faran, dan khemah-khemahnya berasal daripada mutiara berlubang. Wallahi, ia adalah negeri yang berkilau kemilau dan berbau semerbak, dengan sungai yang terus mengalir dan buah-buahan bersusun hijau, serta isteri-isteri nan cantik jelita.

Di sana, wahai hamba Allah, mereka makan dan bersenang-senang, tidak pernah mengeluarkan hingus atau membuang air, hanya mengeluarkan bau kasturi. Di sana mereka tertawa dan tidak pernah menangis. Di sana mereka menetap dan tidak pernah berpindah. Di sana mereka hidup dan tidak pernah mati. Di sana wajah-wajah tertawa dan cerah. Di sana terdapat keindahan yang nyata dan hurrun 'iin (bidadari syurga).

Di sana terdapat kesenangan abadi. Di sana segala sesuatu indah. Di sanalah hijab akan tersingkap, dan mereka pun melihat wajah Allah Yang Maha Mulia lagi Maha Pemberi. Di sanala wahai hamba Allah, terdapat sesuatu yang tidak pernah dilihat oleh mata, tidak pernah terdengan oleh telinga dan tidak pernah terlintas dalam hati manusia."

Optimistik Tentang Syurga

Anda mungkin pernah dengar pepatah omputeh ini;

"Shoot for the moon, if you miss, you will land among the stars"

Sebenarnya Baginda Muhammad saw juga pernah bersabda, yang mafhumnya;

"Sesungguhnya di syurga terdapat 100 tingkatan yang disediakan Allah bagi yang berjihad di jalanNya. Jarak antara satu tingkat dengan tingkatan yang lain seperti jarak antara langit dan bumi. Maka jika kalian minta kepada Allah, mintalah syurga Firdaus. Kerana ia adalah syurga terbaik dan yang tertinggi" -HR Bukhari, lihat Fathul Bari 6:351-

Rasullulah ajar kita untuk jadi manusia yang optimistik. Mohon untuk dapat syurga tertinggi, kalau dapat syurga yang rendah tarafnya pun jadilah. Siapa nak bagi syurga kat kita yang banyak dosa ini melainkan dengan sifat rahimnya (baca: kasih) Allah swt kepada kita hambanya.

Ini juga teknik berdoa kepada Allah, mohon banyak-banyak, sebab Allah Maha Kaya, Dia malu untuk tidak mangabulkan doa para hambaNya kerana permintaan mereka terlampau kecil dan sedikit, bahkan tidak mengurangi sedikit pun rizab Kekayaan Allah swt. Ini kita perlu yakin, cuma lambat atau cepat sahaja bezanya.

Yang Pertama Memasuki Syurga

Manusia pertama yang memasuki syurga tidak lain tidak bukan adalah Rasullullah saw dan Abu Bakar As-Siddiq r.a. Kelompok pertama yang memasuki syurga tanpa hisab berjumlah 70,000 orang. Mereka saling bergandingan tangan hingga masuk syurga kesemuanya. Wajah mereka pula seperti bulan purnama.

"Di antara umatku ada 70,000 atau 700,000 yang memasuki syurga dengan saling bergandingan tangan satu dengan yang lain. Yang pertama akan masuk setelah yang akhir juga ikut masuk. Wajah mereka seperti bulan purnama" -HR Bukhari dan Muslim, lihat Fathul Bari 16:206 dan Sahih Muslim 198-

Rasullullah saw bersabda;

"...Adapun 3 golongan yang pertama memasuki syurga adalah golongan syahid, orang yang tidak disibukkan dengan dunia dan taat kepada Rabbnya, dan orang fakir yang memiliki tanggungan namun ia menjaga diri daripada meminta-minta". -HR Ahmad-

Yang Terakhir Memasuki Syurga

Sebagaimana yang diriwayatkan oleh Bukhari dan Muslim, hamba yang terakhir sekali memasuki syurga dalah orang yang melintasi titian, terkadang jalan dan merangkak dan terkadang dibakar api sehingga hangus. Allah memerintahkannya untuk masuk syurga, namun ia melihat seakan syurga telah penuh sesak. Allah berkata kepadanya bahawa ia akan diberikan kenikmatan sepuluh kali dunia dan seisinya, sehingga ia merasa dipermainkan oleh Allah swt. Namun Allah swt berfirman, : Itulah darjat penghuni syurga yang paling rendah kelasnya".

Hadis ini juga dihurai lebih panjang dan mendalam oleh hadis pertanyaan Nabi Musa a.s. kepada Allah swt tentang darjat terendah dan darjat tertinggi penghuni syurga yang diriwayatkan secara marfu' daripada Rasullullah saw oleh Al-Mughirah bin Syu'bah.

Tips Memasuki Syurga

Memasuki syurga itu impian tertinggi dan terakhir (baca: the ultimate vision) semua umat Islam di dunia ini. Ibrahim bin Adham berkata, "daripada 1000 umat akhir zaman ini, hanya seorang sahaja akan mendapat syurga". Anda nampak sekarang?. Syurga itu tidak murah dan tidak mudah. Bagaimana dengan 999 orang lagi umat Islam akhir zaman ini?. Adakah semuanya akan dihumban para Malaikat Allah ke dalam neraka?. Nauzubillahi min zalik.

Ramai para sahabat bertanyakan kepada Rasullullah saw soalan yang sama, "Apakah cukup aku ini dengan amalan sekian, sekian untuk memasuki syurga?". Jawapan Nabi saw pula pelbagai bergantung dengan keadaan sahabat tersebut. Nabi saw bahkan menyebut nama-nama sahabat yang bakal bersama dengan Baginda di syurga kelak. Indah bukan?.

Persoalannya, kita siapa wahai teman, wahai rakan, wahai sahabat sekalian?. Nak minta tips daripada Nabi saw bagaimana hendak memasuki syurga sudah tidak boleh, cuma yang tinggal adalah hadis-hadis pesanan Nabi saw kepada kita, bagaimana untuk menggapai syurga. Carilah, sebarkanlah, moga-moga, kita menjadi golongan yang meramaikan syurga dan ahlinya, bukan tergolong bersama mereka yang tersusun atur ke neraka.

Hendak mencapai syurga dan abadi di dalamnya bukan mudah, jalannya penuh ranjau, onak dan duri. Apa mungkin duri bunga ros tidak setajam duri-duri yang terbentang di jalan ini. Persamaan kita dan para sahabat adalah mereka menjadi penerus dakwah para Nabi. Usaha mulia ini dipandang hina, dicaci-maki, ditohmah dan sebagainya, namun untuk berehat daripadanya bukan di dunia, tapi abadi di akhirat sana.

Say, "This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me. And exalted is Allah ; and I am not of those who associate others with Him." Kredit

Rechargeable Iman

Iman Itu Rechargeable

Iman itu ibarat air laut bukan?. Ada masa ia surut, ada pula masanya ia pasang tinggi. Ada masa, habis segala amalan kebaikan kita lakukan dan ada masa habis segala kejahatan kita bergelumang di dalamnya. Sunnah Allah, kejadian Alam ini menyerupai karakter Iman kita.

Kata orang, sekali air bah, sekali pantai berubah? Kredit

Mana tidaknya, kehidupan kita sangat bersangkut paut dengan nilaian Iman disisi Allah swt. Andaikan di penghujung amal dan nafas, Iman kita ketika itu terasa tinggi lebih daripada biasa (baca: more than ever), dengan izin Allah, kalimah syahadah itu mudah terlafaz di saat nyawa ditarik keluar daripada badan dunia ini. Syurga itu kompem (baca: confirm!) milik kita beb.

Tetapi sayang bila di hujung nyawa Iman kita ibarat telur di hujung tanduk, lafaz kalimah syahadah penyaksian kita kepada ketuhanan Allah swt yang Maha Satu dan Maha Esa itu belum tentu. Apa mungkin, kita meninggalkan dunia ini untuk dihumban ke dalam neraka Allah swt yang Maha Dahsyat azabnya, selama-lamanya?. Naya kita.

Sebab itu, dalam arena dakwah ini, ikhwah, akhawat akan sentiasa bertanyakan kepada kita, "Bagaimana Iman anta/i hari ini?. Makin naik atau makin turun?. Bertambah gemuk atau kurus?.". Maka ketika itulah kita mencari idea untuk mengelecek lawan di atas padang, moga-moga soalan-soalan bernilai emas dan perak tidak pula ditanya selepas itu.

Persoalan di atas ini, kita jawab dengan hati yang terbuka, kalau rasa Iman kita seperti di tahap bateri telefon model Samsung S2 meraung meminta dicaskan semula, maka kita perlu segera mengecas Iman kita. Bagaimana?. Cari charger, sambungkan pada soket elektrik dan wallaah, siap!. Semudah XYZ bukan?.

Ukuran Syurga & Neraka

Saudara dan saudari yang dirahmati Allah, ukuran syurga dan neraka itu, bukan urusan kita. Kita hamba yang Maha Daif kepada Tuhan Sekalian Alam ini wajib berbaik sangka (baca: Husnudzhon) denganNya. Kerana itu, wujudnya kisah-kisah yang diwariskan Nabi Muhammad saw kepada para sahabat untuk dijadikan pedoman buat kita.

Abu Hurairah ada meriwayatkan satu kisah daripada Baginda Muhammad saw. Pada zaman Bani Israil dahulu, hidup dua orang lelaki yang mempunyai sikap yang berbeza. Lelaki pertama suka berbuat dosa sementara yang kedua rajin beribadah. Setiap kali orang yang ahli ibadah ini melihat temannya berbuat dosa, ia menyarankan untuk rakannya berhenti daripada perbuatan dosa.

Suatu kali orang yang ahli ibadah berkata lagi, "berhentilah daripada berbuat dosa." Dia menjawab, :Jangan pedulikan aku, terserah Allah akan menilai perbuatanku. Adakah engkau diutuskan Allah untuk mengawasi apa yang aku lakukan?" Ahli Ibadah itu membalas, "Demi Allah, dosamu tidak akan diampuni olehNya atau kamu tidak akan dimasukkan ke dalam syurga Allah."

Kemudian setelah kedua-dua orang itu mati, Allah swt telah menghakimi kedua-dua mereka di hadapanNya. Allah swt menyoal lelaki ahli ibadah, "Adakah kamu lebih mengetahui daripadaKu? Atau adakah kamu dapat mengetahui apa yang berada dalam kekuasaanKu?." Kemudian kepada ahli maksiat Allah swt berfirman, "Masuklah kamu ke dalam syurga berkat rahmatKu." Sementara kepada ahli ibadah dikatakan, "Masukkan orang ini ke dalam neraka"

Hadis Sahih riwayat Ahmad, 2/323; Abu Daud, 4901; Ibn Mubarak dalam kitab Al-Zuhd, 314; Ibn Abi Duniya dalam Husnuzh Zhan,45; al-Baghawi dalam Syarah al-Sunnah,14/385.

Hikmah kisah di atas;

1) Sentiasalah menyeru kepada kebaikan dan mencegah kemungkaran.
2) Setiap individu hendaklah berusaha meninggalkan perkara maksiat dan kemungkaran.
3) Jangan berputus asa daripada memohon keampunan Allah yang Maha Penyayang.
4) Jangan sewenang-wenangnya menggunakan nama Allah tanpa ilmu.
5) Allah swt amat mengasihi para hambaNya.
6) Seseorang itu tidak berhak menentukan kedudukan seseorang manusia sama ada masuk syurga atau neraka, kerana hanya Allah swt yang menetapkannya.

Sifat Kita

Sebab itu, isu Iman ini, adalah isu yang kerap kali diulang dan diperingatkan kepada kita sentiasa. Kalau sudah bosan, dengarkan juga, sebab manusia itu Allah swt jadikan sifatnya pelupa.

Sebab itu juga, para pendakwah (baca: dai'e) bukan para penghukum (baca: hakim). Perangai atau perasaan suka menghukum (baca: being judgemental) ini menjadikan kita jauh daripada para mad'u kita, lantas sekaligus mengeluarkan mereka daripada golongan target untuk didekati dan dinasihati.

Kerana manusia selalu merampas Hak Allah yang menetapkan pengakhiran kita sebagai hambaNya di syurga atau neraka, kita menjadi angkuh mengatakan "Alah, nanti mati masuk syurga juga. Tidak kisah lah masuk neraka sekejap pun. Hidup kena enjoy beb!." Golongan ini, kita mohon doa agar hatinya dilembutkan dan terjaga Imannya.

Silap kita menyangka, syurga itu mudah dan murah. Silap, teramat silap. Perlaburan sedemikian rupa mungkin meletakkan kita dalam kalangan mereka yang jatuh bankrup dan terus dihumban para Malaikat ke dalam neraka. Nauzubillah. Perkara ini kita mohon dijauhkan.

Berbalik kepada skrip asal, Iman itu bertambah dan berkurang, applicable untuk kita semua sebab kita bukan para Nabi dan para Malaikat Allah swt. Iman mereka dan Iman kita sangat jauh berbeza. Langit dengan Bumi mungkin bukan metafora yang sesuai, atau mungkin tiada langsung pembanding yang boleh diguna pakai.

Hakikatnya, usaha memperbaiki, menambah baik, menaik taraf Iman itu sangatlah penting. Kalau dahulu bateri Iman itu jenis Panasonic, tukarlah ke jenama Energizer atau Sony. Lebih hebat dan tahan lama. Ini penting, sebab Allah swt tidak memandang perkara lain pada seorang hamba melainkan Iman di dada.

Kalau battery Iman itu jenis Energizer, kena charge lama sikit, baru tahan lama. Kredit

Tepuk Dada, Tanya Iman

Ini ayat terpakai, yang diguna pakai ramai ikhwah, akhawat kita. Kita para dai'e adalah golongan yang terutama yang perlu recharge Iman kita saban hari. Sebab kita golongan yang diperhatikan. Sekali kita jatuh, bingkas bangun, usah biarkan diri semakin jauh tenggelam dalam telaga Kg. Maksiat. Jangan biarkan kita lemas di dalamnya.

Ianya melemaskan, untuk bangun selepas jatuh, dan kerap pula jatuh kembali ke telaga yang sama. Orang kampung pun bosan nak tolong. Tetapi ingat, usaha untuk kembali bertaubat itu Allah swt kira, dan kita bersangka baik dengan Allah swt agar dengan sifat Rahman dan Rahim-Nya, kita dilepaskan ke dalam syurga.

Yang penting, jangan putus asa dalam bertaubat walaupun kita hina dalam telaga Kg. Maksiat..

Dakwah Kena Jalan Beb, Walaupun Selepas Nikah!

2012-01-10T00:41:00.000+08:00

Saya sempat bersama dengan naqib 'bulatan gembira' kami sebentar tadi. Tempatnya biasa-biasa sahaja, di sebuah kedai makan yang beroperasi 24 jam. 'bulatan gembira' kami, di mana-mana pun berjalan dengan jayanya. Yeah!.

Memulakan bicara, beliau terus melontarkan satu soalan cepu emas kepada kami, "Anta dah fikirkan fasal baitul muslim?". Terpegun, lalu memikirkan jawapan untuk mengelakkan konflik yang lebih besar, hehe. Mungkin disebabkan umur kami bakal menjengah 23 tahun pada tahun 2012 ini membuatkan beliau bertanyakan sedemikian rupa.

"Ana honestly belum fikirkan fasal baitul muslim ini sheikh", ringkas, dengan harapan alasan ini diterima pakai. "Ana pun nikah awal juga dulu. Mula-mula ana rancang nak start cari jodoh di umur 25, tapi dah jodoh tu datang awal, nak buat macam mana. Zaujah ana time tu baru tahun 5 jurusan perubatan". Kena balik.

Otak ini ligat mencari jalan keluar, sekurang-kurangnya dapat mengelak daripada 'mengisi' borang baitul muslim, untuk masa terdekat ini. "Anta prepare untuk nikah ini berapa lama sheikh?". Cuba menepis cubaan-cubaan yang mendatang. "Ana tak prepare pun". Selamba. Diri terasa berpeluh walaupun malam ini hujan sebenarnya.

"Ana tak sangka juga dapat jodoh awal. Cerita ana macam ini..". Beliau memulakan cerita, sekurang-kurangnya teknik ini berjaya mengelirukan lawan. Eh, haha. "Ada seorang pak cik ini ikhwah kita, selalu ana jumpa waktu solat di masjid tempat ana tinggal di Johor dulu. Satu hari itu sempat lah berbual dengan dia, habis dia tanya tinggal kat mana, gaji berapa, dah kahwin ke belum dan sebagainya. Pelik juga ana. Haha". Kami ikut tergelak.

" Lepas itu kali kedua jumpa pak cik tu bertanya pasal baitul muslim ini, dah sedia ke belum. Ana dah agak dah, ana cuba juga mengelak topik itu. Ana jawab selamba je yang ana tak terfikir pun pasal nak nikah ini. Lagipun muda lagi dan baru je mula kerja engineer ini". Saya tersenyum kelat, sambil berkata di dalam hati "Sama lah kita bab mengelak-mengelak ini".

Ceritanya bersambung. "Bila ternampak pak cik itu masa solat di masjid, ana cuba mengelak sedaya mungkin, kalau dia solat di saf kanan, ana solat di saf kiri. Kalau dia saf di saf depan, ana di saf belakang. Tapi satu hari selepas waktu solat Jumaat itu ana tak berjaya mengelak. Selesai solat Jumaat je dia tepuk belakang ana dan kami terpaksalah bersua muka. Hehe". Saya tergelak beasr waktu ini, lagi-lagi bila saya membayangkan cerita beliau dengan sedaya upaya dengan kudrat yang ada. Haha.

"Selepas itu pak cik itu ajak ke satu bilik di belakang masjid dan dia tunjukkan mesej yang diterima daripada anak perempuannya yang meminta pak cik tersebut untuk mencarikan jodoh untuknya. Ana mampu telan air liur sahaja". Pak cik itu berkata, "Jemputlah ke rumah, kita bertaaruf dulu. Kalau setuju kita proceed, kalau tak setuju bukan jodoh lah tu". Ringkas, tapi padat. Kalau saya kena macam ini, gugur jantung. Bakal bapa mertua sendiri datang jumpa tu. Malu, segan, rasa tak layak semua ada.

"Ana pun ambil masa dahulu dan kami bertukar nombor telefon masing-masing. Aiseh, memang tak dapat lari lah. Lepas itu pak cik itu pun contact suruh datang ke rumah satu hari ini. Memang segan lah tapi ana redah sahaja. Masa itu, ana, bakal zaujah dan bakal mertua duduk semeja untuk makan malam. Banyak juga soalan yang diajukan tapi ana jawab dengan steady je. Masa itu ana tak tengok pun bakal zaujah ana. Bakal mak mertua ana suruh kami teruskan taaruf dengan email". Kami kusyuk memberikan perhatian, bukan senang nak dapat ilmu di luar bidang perubatan menarik macam ini. Padahal menimba ilmu macam mana nak dapatkan anak orang jadi zaujah kita. Fuh.

"Ana pun dapatkan nombor telefon dan hanya contact si dia sekali sahaja untuk dapatkan email. Tapi ana tak email apa-apa pun. Hehe. Sampai lah bakal zaujah ana ini cuti selepas tahun 4 perubatan dan bakal mertua ana tanya dia ada tak ana teruskan taaruf tu. Disebabkan tiada sebarang perkembangan, bakal mertua ana contact suruh taaruf dan bagi keputusan dalam masa sebulan. Selepas sebulan, bakal zaujah ana dah bagi keputusan setuju tapi ana masih dalam pertimbangan ya atau tidak. Solat istikharah semua dah buat tapi tiada kata putus lagi. Jadi akhirnya ana katakan setuju juga".

Senang juga sebenarnya naqib saya ini dapat zaujah, dalam taaruf pun mereka bincangkan hala tuju hidup masing-masing dan seberapa perkara berkenaan dengan dakwah. Yang penting, pernikahan atau perkahwinan tidak menjadi penghalang kepada proses dakwah dan tarbiah untuk terus berjalan.

Ia bahkan memberi kekuatan kepada masyarakat muslim dengan terdirinya sebuah lagi keluarga muslim yang mengamalkan Islam dengan sempurna. Satu step besar dalam Maratibul 'Amal selepas berjaya mendidik diri menjadi seorang individu Muslim yang benar-benar mengamalkan Islam.

Ok, sambung lagi. "Ana pun diminta untuk mempertemukan kedua keluarga kami. Tempatnya?. Di sebuah kedai kopi. Masa itu jugalah mereka berbincang dan bersetuju untuk pernikahan kami. On the spot juga kami bertunang. Kenapa?. Sebab bertunang itu kan perjanjian antara dua keluarga, bila dah dua keluarga dah bersetuju, bertunang lah kami. Tak sempat-sempat ana nak prepare cincin. Hehe. Jadi selepas itu ana pun mula contact bakal zaujah ana untuk urusan pernikahan dan kami bernikah juga akhirnya." Wow.

Ringkas, padat dan hebat. Bila dua-dua keluarga faham Islam, pertunangan tidak menjadi bebanan. Ringkas dan mudah sahaja. Tidak perlu hantaran dan sebagainya. Lagipun, ikatan pertunangan ini ringkasnya bermakna persetujuan lelaki dan perempuan untuk bernikah pada suatu masa yang ditetapkan. Cuma bila dah bersetuju, cepat-cepatkan lah pernikahan.

Individu Muslim dahulu sebelum Baitul Muslim.

Cerita naqib saya ini sangat menarik, sehinggakan saya sendiri memasang impian untuk 'menerima' jodoh sedemikian rupa. Cinta ini boleh dipupuk, sebab itu saya tidak kisah dengan siapa saya bakal berkahwin. Buat masa ini, persiapan diri untuk menjadi Muslim kamil itu penting, sebab tanpa ilmu kita jahil dan tanpa amal, manifestasi ibadah (dan dakwah) kepada Tuhan Sekalian Alam itu tiada, maka jangan berani mengaku hamba.

Dakwah kena jalan beb, walaupun selepas nikah. Peace!.

Islam, Muslim & Kafir

2011-12-31T14:48:00.000+08:00

FAQ : How would you explain this terms: Islam, Muslims, & Kafir.

Answer :

For those who asked, May Allah bless you.

There are many religion in this world and every each of them got their name. Some are named after a person (e.g. Christianity-Jesus Christ, Buddhism-Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, Confucianism-Confucius/Kung Fu Tse, etc). Some are named after a tribe (e.g. Judaism-tribe of Judah). Some are named after a geographical location (e.g. Hinduism-Indus River).

It is important to mention that, the name of these religions is not mentioned in the Scripture of the religion.

Islam was not named after any person, tribe or place. It was given by God (Himself) in the Quran:

"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you ISLAM as your religion" (Quran 5:3)

Islam is an Arabic word which is derived along with other Arabic words such as Salaam, Salim, and Aslama, from the same root word. Salaam means peace, harmony, tranquility, calm, and serenity. Salim means authentic, sound, accurate, and free from defects. Aslama means to willingly submit or obey by sincere and willing obedience to Almighty God.

Muslim means, anyone who truly and fully submits and obeys the one and only true God. Going by this definition, all the creatures are 'Muslim' by their obedient character. The heart is Muslim by their character to pump blood to all parts of our body. The brain is Muslim by their character to think and instruct our body to move and react in every situations. Just imagine how this two main organ in our body suddenly decided to disobey what has been ordained by its Creator, we will enter the state or Cardiogenic Shock and Brain Death respectively!.

Unlike other creations of God, we have been blessed by the faculty of intellect, and with it, the freewill to choose either to obey or disobey God. When we choose to obey God we are Muslim, and when we choose to disobey God, we are becoming Kafir. Merely claiming to believe in God does not necessarily qualify a person to be called a Muslim. One need to demonstrate his/her belief by obedience and acts of worship.

Islam was not founded by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago. Instead, Islam has been the religion since the creation of the first man and has always been the one and only religion preached by all the Prophets of God, from Adam to Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and the final Prophet of God, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah upon them all).

"Say, we believe in Allah and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes and that which was given to Moses and Jesus and to other Prophets, from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit." (Quran 2:136)

"Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian, but an upright Muslim" (Quran 3:67)

"The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - that which We sent by inspiration to you - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus;namely, that you should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein:to those who worship other than God, hard is the (way) to which you call them" (Quran 42:13)

Needless to say, all the Prophets of God were Muslim and the Religion they preached was Islam.

Love Like You

2011-12-20T00:03:00.000+08:00

Love Like You

Grandpa Sam was working in the garden, watering the plants that surround his house. There were a couple of birds stayed in the Grandpa Sam's tree a yard away from where he was standing. Grandpa Sam made a small wooden bird house for them and he did fed the birds with some fruits.That was very kind of him.

Likewise, Aaron was waiting his chance to ask Grandpa Sam a few brilliant questions. He walked slowly and approach his Grandpa Sam slowly, quietly. This time, he successfully sneaked behind Grandpa Sam.

Aaron : "Grandpa Sam!"

Grandpa Sam : "Owh my god!"

Aaron : "Yes!, I just made Grandpa Sam surprised"

Grandpa Sam : "Nope, I have expected you to do that earlier on. Haha. Nice trick huh. So, What do you want from me Aaron?"

Aaron : "I want to ask one simple question. Our neighbour said that this garden was all your work. You made this garden looked beautiful. Do you really like gardening?, because you did not seem so, hehe"

Grandpa Sam put all his gardening tools aside and pull his grandson's hand to the center of the garden and asked him to sit down there.

Grandpa Sam : "I am going to make you some tea, you just wait here and watch the birds, ok?"

Aaron : "Easy for me!"

Few minutes later Grandpa Sam join Aaron with 2 cups of tea. One for him, and one for his grandson. The evening was getting cloudy. They had a few sip of tea before started back the conversation.

Grandpa Sam : "Tell me Aaron, what did you see?"

Aaron : "I saw the a bird went in and out of their house. The other one was inside the house. That one was not going anywhere. It will be boring if it was me."

Grandpa Sam : "Haha Aaron. Nice joke. Every time you were boring, you will came showering me lots of questions, did not you?"

Aaron : "Yeah I did, you are my Grandpa Sam did not you?"

Grandpa Sam : "Yeah, yeah. Haha. Anyway, let me tell you a secret. Do you know I had a wife, your Grandma?"

Aaron : "I do not know I had a Grandma, where is she?"

Silence.

Grandpa Sam : "She died a long time ago before you were born. She was my wife and my love. This garden was her doing, i just continued her work. It was my way of continue expressing my love for her. My love will not die even she went away earlier than me. I was so sad at that time, but when I saw the garden had not been managed for months, I felt that she completely disappeared from my life. So when i started taking care of this garden, I sort of felt her presence.."

Aaron : "I am so sorry Grandpa Sam, I did not know what to say"

Grandpa Sam : "It is okay, I just want to share you this story. Anyway, you will ask me someday even I am not telling you now, haha"

Aaron : "Hehe, so what is the connection with the birds Grandpa Sam?"

Grandpa Sam took another sip of tea before continuing his story. For him, to answer any questions from this kid, he had to think a lot and gave him an example.

Grandpa Sam : "Love manifests in all living things in this world. You know why?. Because God created it to be that way. And He created all the living things their couple. You may get married with a nice, sweet women someday, and I have had your Grandma. The birds are a couple too, the one that went in and out is the male bird. It went out to search for foods for the female bird. Why is it so?. The female bird had to take care of their 'children'. So their action actually manifests their love!."

Aaron : "Oh I see, that is how love works!"

Aaron : "Grandpa Sam, I want to love like you, I want to be a good husband like you, and I want to have a grandson like me!"

Grandpa Sam : "You sure will suffer mentally because of your grandson!, haha"

O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you with Allah is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

A Stone Softer Than A Heart

2011-12-18T21:42:00.000+08:00

A Stone Softer Than A Heart

The stones in water

One rainy day, there was a child with his grandfather lived together far east of this country. Both of them sat on the floor of the doorway, facing together but not saying anything at all. It was not that they had argument or what, but the grandfather wanted to be silent or otherwise his beloved grandchildren would not stop talking or asking him questions. It was better for him not to start the conversation at all. Silence.

"Grandpa...". The boy started opening his mouth. "Oh boy, you want to ask something again.." said silently within the grandfather's heart. "Can I ask you something, please?". Urged the boy, named Aaron. Grandfather Samuel replied "Yes for sure you can, you Grandpa should answer anything that bothers you. So what is your question Aaron?"

"What is the differences between stone and water?. Which one is stronger?. Can water beat the stone?" asked Aaron. "That is not a question young man, it is a 3 combined questions in one breath!". The grandfather giggled when it came to the questions, "What a bright grandson I have ever had" the heart sounded.

"Here is the answer, they both are two different entities and both have their own strengths. Water is something that can be everything, it can turns into an ice or it can vaporizes into the air. Am I right?. You can even make out a snowman out of the snow. Some people they even build castle out of the giant ice packs. Water is essential for human body, without them we will die from being thirsty and dehydrated. The stone is completely opposite, it has hard consistency, it cannot change its shape, it is less useful for us and some people feel pain when they stumbled upon it." the grandfather slowly composed the answer.

"The stone may looked like it is really hard that it is even harder to break it, but water can distorts it." the grandfather continued. Aaron getting confused and quickly delivered new question, "How is it a stone can be distorted by the water?".

The grandfather Samuel took a look on the surrounding and begun thinking a demonstrable answer for Aaron.

"You see a small rock there, just near the biggest vast in the garden. Take it and bring it back to me..", he replied. The grandson quickly went through the rain without even thinking it was raining heavily and picked the stone. He then ran back to the grandfather with the rock in his hand. "I did not even finished my words yet Aaron, you should take the umbrella first you know, haha", the grandfather really cannot understand Aaron's eagerness on learning new things.

"Take the rock and put it right under that falling rain water from the roof. Put it where the most rain water fall" instructed the grandfather. "Okay then, I will put it right here" the boy put the stone near the corner of the house. "Then what?" he eagerly asked back the grandfather. "You will have to wait" simply replied by the grandfather.

3 week passed by. Raining almost everyday.

On a calm evening, a question break the silence. "Grandpa Sam, what happen to the rock we put under the rain water?" the small voice of Aaron interrupted his grandfather's work. "Go out and take a look of yourself, you will find the answer" he replied.

After a few seconds, he ran towards the grandfather and happily shouted "Grandpa Sam, the stone did distorted, it is so unbelievable!". "Son, one small drop of water alone would not have the strength to distort the stone, but if it is a lot of water, it can be a big force to give such an effect to the stone. Strength is everyone's, you just have to look where is yours!" the grandfather replied.

And indeed, there are stones out of which rivers gush forth, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which split asunder so that water flows from them, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which fall down for fear of Allah (QS 2:75)

"Some stones are softer than our hearts"

Kalaupun kita tidak terkena asap hitamnya, setidaknya kita akan mencium bau busuk dari tungkunya.

2011-05-27T15:53:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt (Peace Be Upon You)

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

I went for a lecture conducted by a famous politician in Malaysia Ustaz Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man last week. He discussed one hadith that was really made me interested. As i don't have the book that he discussed every tuesday's night, i don't really grasp every words uttered, especially the 'matan' hadith.

But the very words that grasp my attention is a part of the hadith's translation. "Those who have free time/leisure time, and yet he didn't remember Allah (zikruAllah), he'd been 'reduced' (fitratun)..". He did discussed a lot on the word fitratun or literally translated in English as 'reduced'. He said that we have our own lifetimes, and these times shorten each and every seconds. It's a waste not to remember Allah (zikruAllah) when you have the free or leisure time, as we cannot turn the time back.

I don't wanna regret later at The Day of Judgement, when i don't have enough 'savings'. So, writing here is one of the ways for me to remember Allah. May Allah count my effort as a good deed.

My Regards,
I'm A Muslim

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah! (all praises upon Allah). I finally passed my final examinations and InsyaAllah (god's willing) for next September I'll be 4th year medical student. I didn't expected such a gift from Allah as I myself didn't study enough and also didn't have enough qualities of what it takes to be clinical years student.

I had planned on improving myself for this semester break in term of ad-dunya wal akhirah (both this life in this world and hereafter) preparations. Honestly, i did wanted to spend my entire 2nd phase of medical education focusing in gaining sufficient knowledge to be a good servant to Allah as well as a good daie'. InsyaAllah (god's willing) for this 5 whole months, it will be my precious time before entering such a havoc clinical years in medicine.

Oh Allah, i know it is a bit late to express my gratitudes, but i knew you heard me in my prayers. Please guide me even more oh Allah, as I am a forgetful being, and I had always, strayed away form Your path. With Your Guidance I Seek Assurance/Serenity.

Regards,
I'm A Muslim.

The Believers Are Tested

2011-03-26T00:24:00.000+08:00

﴿أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُواْ أَن يَقُولُواْ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لاَ يُفْتَنُونَ ﴾

(Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe,'' and will not be tested.) (29:2)

This is a rebuke in the form of a question, meaning that Allah will inevitably test His believing servants according to their level of faith, as it recorded in the authentic Hadith:

«أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ بَلَاءً الْأَنْبِيَاءُ، ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ، ثُمَّ الْأَمْثَلُ فَالْأَمْثَلُ، يُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ صَلَابَةٌ زِيدَ لَهُ فِي الْبَلَاء»

(The people most severly tested are the Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested in accordance with the degree of his religious commitment; the stonger his religious commitment, the stronger his test.)

This Ayah is like the Ayah,

﴿أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ جَـهَدُواْ مِنكُمْ وَيَعْلَمَ الصَّـبِرِينَ ﴾

(Do you think that you will enter Paradise without Allah knowing those of you who fought (in His cause) and knowing those who are the patient) (3:142)

There is a similar Ayah in Surat At-Tawbah. And Allah says:

﴿أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مَّسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَآءُ وَالضَّرَّآءُ وَزُلْزِلُواْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ مَتَى نَصْرُ اللَّهِ أَلاَ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ ﴾

(Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the help of Allah'' Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!) (2:214)

Allah says here:

﴿وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُواْ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَـذِبِينَ ﴾

(And We indeed tested those who were before them so that Allah will know those who are true, and will know those who are liars.)

Meaning, He will make know which are sincere in their claim to be believers from those who are lying. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, knows what has happened in the past and what is yet to come, and He knows how that which will not happen would have happened if it were to happen. All the Imams of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah are agreed on this. This is the view of Ibn `Abbas and others concerning phrases such as the Ayah,

﴿إِلاَّ لِنَعْلَمَ﴾

(only that We know) (2:143).

Meaning, only to see - because seeing has to do with what is there, but knowledge is broader than seeing, since it includes what is not present as well as what is.

﴿أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ ﴾

(Or think those who do evil deeds that they can outstrip Us Evil is that which they judge!)

Means, those who are not believers should not think that they will escape such trials and tests, for ahead of them lies a greater and more severe punishment. Allah says:

﴿أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا﴾

(Or think those who do evil deeds that they can outstrip Us)

Meaning, "escape'' from Us.

﴿سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ﴾

(Evil is that which they judge!)

What they think is evil.

Thus We Pray

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

I feel that currently I'm losing my grip on everything . Guide me. Give me the strength I need to face this trial oh Allah. You clearly said in Quran ;

﴿وَقَالَ رَبُّكُـمْ ادْعُونِى أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَخِرِينَ ﴾

(And your Lord said: "Call upon Me, I will answer you. Verily, those who scorn My worship they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!'') (Mu'min : 60)

So please oh Allah, hear my prayer, forgive me upon what I've done, please accept my good deeds, and give me what i need the most, not what i always want.

Your servant,

I'm A Muslim.

Let Allah Be Your 1st Love

2011-03-08T08:11:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Before this, i always let 'Love' to be undefined. This way, it will be easy enough for me to find the real meaning of 'Love'. I'll be happy if 'Love' is defined as i wanted it to be and as an advantage for me is that, I'll never strayed away from my own defined 'Love'.

Few days ago, I had a chance (alhamdulillah, praises be to Allah) to go for a forum. This forum specifically discussed about 'Love'. As always, i just wanted to hear what the panelists would say about 'Love' and how would they defined 'Love'. Interestingly, they introduced few meanings of 'Love' from a lot of resources and what kept me to the end of the discussion is that one of panelist said, he defined 'Love' as a two different, realistic categories : 1st is 'Loves' that been pleased by Allah, and the 2nd is vice versa.

Really, 'Love' is something that can be defined by anyone. What is left is that, is the way we define 'Love' blessed by Allah?. If yes, 'Love' should brought you the the path that Allah pleased upon it. Let 'Love' comes naturally, in the end we should see the one and only true and pure 'Love' is the 'Love' to Allah swt. If it is not, it is still not to late to start loving rather than not to be loved by the Creator of 'Love'.

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Alhamdulillah (praises be to Allah), Allah made my life that way. He was the one whom made my whole life written, destined upon anything he wanted me to be. As I believe it that way, I do hope, that what destined for me doesn't make me become far from You. Instead, I really hope it does make me nearer to You oh Allah.

Alhamdulillah, at hard time like this, I always feel your existence around me. You did watch over me, You did heard me and my prayer, You did been near to me. I kind of love this situation, where we been nearest to each other, as between God and his humble servants.

"Owh Allah, comfort me. Make it easy for me to go through this life. Ease me on my way of being a good Muslim physician. Forgive me upon what I had done in the past. As You are the One and only, You alone I worship and You alone I ask for help."

Prophet Muhammad's Last Sermon

2011-02-15T07:38:00.001+08:00

Prophet Muhammad'sLast Sermon
Date delivered:632 A.C., 9th day of Dhul al Hijjah, 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of MountArafat.

After praising, and thankingGod, he said: "O People, listen well to my words, for I do not knowwhether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Thereforelisten to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TOTHOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.

O People, just as you regard thismonth, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property ofevery Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to theirrightful owners. Treat others justly so that no one would be unjust toyou. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeedreckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury (riba), thereforeall riba obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital , however,is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity. God hasjudged that there shall be no riba and that all the ribadue to `Abbas ibn `Abd al Muttalib shall henceforth be waived.

Every right arising out of homicidein pre-Islamic days is henceforth waived and the first such right thatI waive is that arising from the murder of Rabi`ah ibn al Harith ibn `Abdal Muttalib.

O Men, the Unbelievers indulge intampering with the calendar in order to make permissible that which Godforbade, and to forbid that which God has made permissible. With God themonths are twelve in number. Four of them are sacred, three of these aresuccessive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumada and Sha`ban.Beware of the devil, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hopethat he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware offollowing him in small things.

O People, it is true that you havecertain rights over your women, but they also have rights over you. Rememberthat you have taken them as your wives only under God's trust and withHis permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the rightto be fed and clothed in kindness. Treat your women well and be kind tothem, for they are your partners and committed helpers. It is your rightand they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, aswell as never to be unchaste...

O People, listen to me in earnest,worship God (The One Creator of the Universe), perform your five dailyprayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give yourfinancial obligation (zakah) of your wealth. Perform Hajj if you can affordto.

All mankind is from Adam and Eve,an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiorityover an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a blackhas any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learnthat every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constituteone brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongsto a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore,do injustice to yourselves.

Remember, one day you will appearbefore God (The Creator) and you will answer for your deeds. So beware,do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.

O People, NO PROPHET OR MESSENGERWILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason well, therefore,O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I am leaving youwith the Book of God (the QUR'AN) and my SUNNAH (the life style and thebehavioral mode of the Prophet), if you follow them you will never go astray.

All those who listen to me shallpass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the lastones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Bemy witness O God, that I have conveyed your message to your people.

Poem Of My Heart : Lonely

2011-02-11T02:54:00.000+08:00

Oh God,

I feel empty, I feel lonely,

I feel I'd been lost in my own reflection,

Why did i feel that I'm far away from serenity,
Slowly, I look for, why did i feel such emptiness,

Might be I'd done something wrong,

Might be I'd lost somewhere in my life,
Might it be, and might it be more reasons again.

Oh God, why did i feel such an emptiness,

I really wanna cry, i regretted myself, why did this happen,
Until when i will be like this Oh God,

This restless never edged.

Let me back to You, to the Light that should lit up my life,

Oh God, I really, really feel empty, lonely,
Alone,

I don't wanna be like this anymore,
This restless never edged,

I want your light, I want your guidance,

So, lit up my life again.

Ar-Rum : 22-23 - Happy Chinese New Year!

2011-02-03T02:13:00.000+08:00

- Islam is not a race, it is a religion -

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt (Peace be upon you)

All praises to our God, The One and only. He is The Eternal, The Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.

For this festive season, I'm wishing you very prosperous and happiest Chinese New Year celebrating with your loved ones. Happy Chinese New Year!. This is a special entry for my Chinese friend, of what was stated in holy Quran regarding our differences. Hope you enjoy it!.

﴿وَمِنْ ءَايَـتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَاخْتِلَـفُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَنِكُمْ إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لأَيَـتٍ لِّلْعَـلَمِينَ - وَمِنْ ءايَـتِهِ مَنَامُكُم بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَابْتِغَآؤُكُمْ مِّن فَضْلِهِ إِنَّ فِى ذَلِكَ لاّيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ ﴾
And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colors. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge. - And among His signs is your sleep by night and by day, and your seeking His bounty. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who listen. (Ar-Rum 30:22-23)

Allah said:

﴿وَمِنْ ءَايَـتِهِ﴾
(And among His signs)

indicating His magnificent power.

﴿خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالأَرْضَ﴾
(is the creation of the heavens and the earth,)

The heavens with their vast height and brightness and beauty of the stars and planets, and the earth with its density and its mountains, valleys, seas, plains, animals and trees.

﴿وَاخْتِلَـفُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ﴾
(and the difference of your languages)

So, we see that some speak Arabic, and the Tatars have their own language, as do the Georgians, Romans, Franks, Berbers, Tou Couleurs (of Sudan), Ethiopians, Indians, Persians, Slavs, Khazars, Armenians, Kurds and others. Only Allah knows the variety of languages spoken among the sons of Adam. And the difference of their colors mentioned here refers to their appearance, for all the people of this world, from the time that Allah created Adam, and until the Hour begins, each of them has two eyes, two eyebrows, a nose, a forehead, a mouth and two cheeks, but none of them looks like another; there is bound to be some difference in posture, appearance and speech, whether it is apparent or is hidden and can only be noticed with careful observation. Each face has its own characteristics and does not look like another; even if there was a group of people who looked alike, having a beautiful or ugly characteristic in common, there would still be a difference between one person and the next.

﴿إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لأَيَـتٍ لِّلْعَـلَمِينَ﴾
(Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge.)

﴿وَمِنْ ءايَـتِهِ مَنَامُكُم بِالَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَابْتِغَآؤُكُمْ مِّن فَضْلِهِ﴾
(And among His signs is your sleep by night and by day, and your seeking of His bounty.)

Among His signs is the cycle of sleep that He has created during the night and the day, when people are able to cease moving and rest, so that their tiredness and exhaustion will go away. And He has enabled you to seek to earn a living and to travel about during the day, this is the opposite of sleep.

﴿إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لآيَـتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ﴾
(Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who listen.)

meaning, understand.

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

﴿تِلْكَ مِنْ أَنْبَآءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهَآ إِلَيْكَ مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَآ أَنتَ وَلاَ قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَـذَا فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ الْعَـقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴾

(This is of the news of the Unseen which We reveal unto you; neither you nor your people knew it before this. So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for those who have Taqwa.) (11:49)

Allah, the Exalted, says to His Prophet concerning these stories and their like,

﴿مِنْ أَنبَآءِ الْغَيْبِ﴾
(of the news of the Unseen)

from the information of the unseen of the past. Allah revealed it to you (the Prophet ) in the way that it occurred, as if he witnessed it himself.

﴿نُوحِيهَآ إِلَيْكَ﴾
(which We reveal unto you;)

This means, "We teach it to you (Muhammad) as revelation from Us to you.''

﴿مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَآ أَنتَ وَلاَ قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَـذَا﴾
(neither you nor your people knew it before this.)

This means that neither you (Muhammad ) nor anyone of your people, have any knowledge of this. This is so that no one who rejects you can say that you learned it from him. Rather, it was Allah Who informed you of it in conformity with the true situation (of the story), just as the Books of the Prophets who were before you testify to. Therefore, you should be patient with the rejection of your people and their harming you. For verily, We shall help you and surround you with Our aid. Then, We will make the (good) end for you and those who follow you in this life and the Hereafter. This is what We did with the Messengers when We helped them against their enemies.

﴿إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ﴾
(Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe.)

Allah also said,

﴿وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ - إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنصُورُونَ ﴾
(And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our servants, the Messengers, that they verily, would be made triumphant.) (37:171-172)

Then, Allah says,

﴿فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ الْعَـقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ﴾
(So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for those who have Taqwa.)

"For my Muslim's brothers and sisters in Egypt, strengthen your belief, and be patient. Surely, the good end is for those who have Taqwa."

We Do Care : Egypt In Turmoil

2011-01-31T15:42:00.002+08:00

- For my brother that i loved so much, may Allah be by your side -

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful.

This picture dated 17th September 2010, a day before he left to pursue his study on medicine, at Cairo University, Egypt. He was the bravest person i ever knew, to take steps farther ahead from me, and went for over-sea's study.

Just got his forwarded message from our beloved Ummi :

"Assalamualaikum, Umi, Ayah. I'm fine here. Nothing happen yet at Fustat (an area around Cairo). Cause here is not an administrative area, so nothing much happen now. I'm not so sure about Malaysia's embassy decision, we might sent back home, might not. So, please don't worry to much about me."

Muhamad Nur'azri Mohd Hisam, Fustat, Cairo

For a decision made by our beloved Ummi to let my brother went to Cairo under the JPA scholarship, it made me somehow felt a bit relieved. JPA do sent Malaysian student to study for bachelor of medicine and dental in few universities in few Middle East countries. My brother was selected to study at Cairo University, Egypt. Others were sent to Mansourah University, Mansaorah, Egypt and also Jordan.

Right the situation at Cairo is still under control, but who knows, the protest against President Hosni Mubarak spread to another area. Mega protests were planned. Hopefully, the protests end peacefully with President Hosni Mubarak overthrown from his '30 years-old' chair!.

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الاٌّخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

"Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!'' (2:201)

Let us together pray for their safety (Malaysia's students and all of Muslims there).

- i wanna share this 'love' like he does -

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Few weeks back, a forum was held entitled "Challenges Of Our New Brother" (literally translated). The speakers were those who reverted to Islam. The 1st speaker, Sister Farah Syakirah, was the 1st year student here. She reverted to Islam form Christian Catholic. The title of this post was taken form her words and for me, it became words of wisdom.

She told the members of the floor, that it's lucky for us, for being born as a Muslim. For herself, she needed to sacrifice her relationship with her family for choosing Islam as a way of life. Her father dumped her from being a daughter of the family, and from what i knew, she never returned home for 2 years. Subhanallah. She also told us to appreciate Islam that we had with us long ago, and be a better Muslim.

Now on, i have come to appreciate my deen (religion). I want to learn the similarities between us, and yet share with you what are the differences that define us. I want to share this 'love', so that we will together the obedient servant to Him, the Lord of these universes. I just really wanted to, wait for me.

I'm A Muslim.

Today's New Day

2011-01-26T21:17:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Today, i have decided to start anew. A new day that only Allah would understand. He who the One that gave me strength to do what i supposed to do long ago. All praises be to Allah, I'm able to accomplished it the way it supposed to be. Now on and ever after, Allah is the only way of solution, to Him I worship, to Him again I ask for help.

﴿إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ﴾

You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help. (1:5)

This evening, i was astounded by 3 presentation by 3 different speakers. Each of them relates, to a point of which, God exist. Similarly, all of them point towards that God is Allah, the only One, and no others except Him. Subhanallah. The seminar really strengthen my belief to Islam, the only religion chosen by Allah.

الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الأِسْلاَمَ دِيناً
This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion (5:3)

"Oh Allah, keep us in the right path!" (1:6)

ادْعُ إِلِى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَجَـدِلْهُم بِالَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ

(Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them with that which is best. Truly, your Lord best knows who has strayed from His path, and He best knows those who are guided.) (16:125)

Allah commands His Messenger Muhammad to invite the people to Allah with Hikmah (wisdom).

Ibn Jarir said: "That is what was revealed to him from the Book and the Sunnah.''

﴿وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ﴾
(and fair preaching)

meaning, with exhortation and stories of the events that happened to people that are mentioned in the Qur'an, which he is to tell them about in order to warn them of the punishment of Allah.

﴿وَجَـدِلْهُم بِالَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ﴾
(and argue with them with that which is best.)

meaning, if any of them want to debate and argue, then let that be in the best manner, with kindness, gentleness and good speech, as Allah says elsewhere:

﴿وَلاَ تُجَـدِلُواْ أَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ إِلاَّ بِالَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ﴾
(And do not argue with the People of the Book, unless it be with that which is best, except for those who purposefully do wrong.) (29:46)

Allah commanded him to speak gently, as He commanded Musa and Harun to do when he sent them to Pharaoh, as He said:

﴿فَقُولاَ لَهُ قَوْلاً لَّيِّناً لَّعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَى ﴾
(And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear (Allah))(20: 44).

﴿إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ﴾
(Truly, your Lord best knows who has strayed from His path,)

meaning, Allah already knows who is doomed (destined for Hell) and who is blessed (destined for Paradise). This has already been written with Him and the matter is finished, so call them to Allah, but do not exhaust yourself with regret over those who go astray, for it is not your task to guide them. You are just a warner, and all you have to do is convey the Message, and it is He Who will bring them to account.

﴿إِنَّكَ لاَ تَهْدِى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ﴾
(You cannot guide whom you love) (28:56)

﴿لَّيْسَ عَلَيْكَ هُدَاهُمْ وَلَـكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ﴾
(It is not up to you to guide them, but Allah guides whom He wills.) (2:72)

Ali 'Imran : 64

2011-01-20T14:20:00.002+08:00

﴿قُلْ يأَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ تَعَالَوْاْ إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَآءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلاَّ نَعْبُدَ إِلاَّ اللَّهَ وَلاَ نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُولُواْ اشْهَدُواْ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ ﴾
(64. Say: "O people of the Scripture: Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah the same, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah.'' Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims.'')

This Ayah includes the People of the Book, the Jews and Christians, and those who follow their ways.

﴿قُلْ يأَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ تَعَالَوْاْ إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ﴾
(Say: "O people of the Scripture! Come to a word'')

`Word' - in Arabic - also means a complete sentence, as evident from this Ayah. Allah described this word as being one,

﴿سَوَآءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ﴾
(that is the same between us and you),

an honest and righteous word that is fair to both parties. Allah then explained this word,

﴿أَلاَّ نَعْبُدَ إِلاَّ اللَّهَ وَلاَ نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئاً﴾
(that we worship none but Allah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him,)

we worship neither a statue, cross, idol, Taghut (false gods), fire or anything else. Rather, we worship Allah Alone without partners, and this is the message of all of Allah's Messengers.

Allah said,

﴿وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ نُوحِى إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ أَنَاْ فَاعْبُدُونِ ﴾
(And We did not send any Messenger before you but We revealed to him (saying): "None has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)﴾"so worship Me (Alone and none else)'') (21:25)

and,

﴿وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُواْ الْطَّـغُوتَ﴾
(And verily, We have sent among every Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Taghut (all false deities).'') (16:36)

Allah said next,

﴿وَلاَ يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ﴾
("and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah.'')

Ibn Jurayj commented, "We do not obey each other in disobedience to Allah.''

﴿فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُولُواْ اشْهَدُواْ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ﴾
(Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims.'')

if they abandon this fair call, then let them know that you will remain in Islam as Allah has legislated for you.

We should mention that the letter that the Prophet sent to Heraclius reads,

"In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Heraclius, Leader of the Romans: peace be upon those who follow the true guidance. Embrace Islam and you will acquire safety, embrace Islam and Allah will grant you a double reward. However, if you turn away from it, then you will carry the burden of the peasants, and,

﴿يأَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ تَعَالَوْاْ إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَآءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلاَّ نَعْبُدَ إِلاَّ اللَّهَ وَلاَ نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُولُواْ اشْهَدُواْ بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ﴾
("O people of the Scripture: Come to a word that is the same between us and you, that we worship none but Allah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah.'' Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims.'')''

Muhammad bin Ishaq and other scholars said that the beginning of Surah Al `Imran, and more than eighty verses thereafter; were revealed about the delegation of Najran. Az-Zuhri stated that the people of Najran were the first people to pay the Jizyah (tax money paid to the Muslim State). However, there is no disagreement that the Ayah that ordained the Jizyah (9:29) was revealed after the Fath (conquering Makkah, and therefore, after the delegation of Najran came to Al-Madinah). So, how can this Ayah (3:64) be contained in the Prophet's letter to Heraclius before the victory of Makkah, and how can we harmonize between the statements of Muhammad bin Ishaq and Az-Zuhri?.

The answer is that the delegation of Najran came before Al-Hudaybiyyah (before the victory of Makkah), and what they paid was in lieu of the Mubahalah; not as Jizyah. The Ayah about the Jizyah was later revealed, and its ruling supported what occurred with the Najran people. In support of this opinion, we should mention that in another instance, the ruling on dividing the booty into one - fifth (for the Prophet ) and four-fifths (for the fighters) agreed with the practice of `Abdullah bin Jahsh during the raid that he led before Badr.

An Ayah later on upheld the way `Abdullah divided the booty. Therefore, it is possible that the Prophet wrote this statement (Say, "O People of the Scripture. ..'') in his letter to Heraclius before the Ayah was revealed. Later on, the Qur'an agreed with the Prophet's statement, word by word.

It is also a fact that the Qur'an was revealed in agreement with what `Umar said regarding the captured disbelievers at Badr, the Hijab (Muslim woman code of dress), refraining from performing prayer for the hypocrites, and regarding his statements:

﴿وَاتَّخِذُواْ مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَهِيمَ مُصَلًّى﴾
(And take you the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.) (2:125),

and,

﴿عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِن طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَن يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْوَجاً خَيْراً مِّنكُنَّ﴾
(It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you.) (66:5).

An-Nisa' : 82

2011-01-18T20:15:00.002+08:00

أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْءَانَ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ اخْتِلَـفاً كَثِيراً
Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely, have found therein contradictions in abundance). (An-Nisa' : 82)

Allah commands them to contemplate about the Qur'an and forbids them from ignoring it, or ignoring its wise meanings and eloquent words. Allah states that there are no inconsistencies, contradictions, conflicting statements or discrepancies in the Qur'an, because it is a revelation from the Most-Wise, Worthy of all praise. Therefore, the Qur'an is the truth coming from the Truth, Allah.

This is why Allah said in another Ayah,

أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ
(Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it))

Allah then said,

وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ
(Had it been from other than Allah,)

meaning, had it been fraudulent and made up, as the ignorant idolators and hypocrites assert in their hearts,

لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ اخْتِلَـفاً
(they would surely, have found therein contradictions), discrepancies and inconsistencies,

كَثِيراً
(in abundance).

However, this Qur'an is free of shortcomings, and therefore, it is from Allah.

Similarly, Allah describes those who are firmly grounded in knowledge,

ءَامَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا
(We believe in it, all of it is from our Lord.) (Ali 'Imran : 7)

meaning, the Muhkam sections (entirely clear) and the Mutashabih sections (not entirely clear) of the Qur'an are all true. So they understand the not entirely clear from the clear, and thus gain guidance. As for those in whose heart is the disease of hypocrisy, they understand the Muhkam from the Mutashabih; thus only gaining misguidance. Allah praised those who have knowledge and criticized the wicked.

Imam Ahmad recorded that `Amr bin Shu`ayb said that his father said that his grandfather said,

"I and my brother were present in a gathering, which is more precious to me than red camels. My brother and I came and found that some of the leaders of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah were sitting close to a door of his. We did not like the idea of being separate from them, so we sat near the room. They then mentioned an Ayah and began disputing until they raised their voices. The Messenger of Allah was so angry that when he went out his face was red. He threw sand on them and said to them,

«مَهْلًا يَا قَوْمِ، بِهَذَا أُهْلِكَتِ الْأُمَمُ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ، بِاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، وَضَرْبِهِمِ الْكُتُبَ بَعْضَهَا بِبَعْضٍ، إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ يُكَذِّبُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا، إِنَّمَا يُصَدِّقُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا، فَمَا عَرَفْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ، وَمَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلى عَالِمِه»

(Behold, O people! This is how the nations before you were destroyed, because of their disputing with their Prophets and their contradicting parts of the Books with other parts. The Qur'an does not contradict itself. Rather, it testifies to the truth of itself. Therefore, whatever of it you have knowledge in, then implement it, and whatever you do not know of it, then refer it to those who have knowledge in it. )"

Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr said,

"I went to the Messenger of Allah one day. When we were sitting, two men disputed about an Ayah, and their voices became loud. The Prophet said,
«إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتِ الْأُمَمُ قَبْلَكُمْ بِاخْتِلَافِهِمْ فِي الْكِتَاب»
(Verily, the nations before you were destroyed because of their disagreements over the Book.)

Muslim and An-Nasa'i recorded this Hadith.

Al-Maa-'idah : 32

2011-01-18T00:39:00.001+08:00

أَنَّهُ مَن قَتَلَ نَفْساً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِى الاٌّرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً وَمَنْ أَحْيَـهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعا
...that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind...
(5:32)

Al-A`mash and others said that Abu Salih said that Abu Hurayrah said, "I entered on `Uthman when he was under siege in his house and said, `I came to give you my support. Now, it is good to fight (defending you) O Leader of the Faithful!' He said, `O Abu Hurayrah! Does it please you that you kill all people, including me' I said, `No.' He said, `If you kill one man, it is as if you killed all people. Therefore, go back with my permission for you to leave. May you receive your reward and be saved from burden.' So I went back and did not fight.'''

`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said, "It is as Allah has stated, (if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.) Saving life in this case occurs by not killing a soul that Allah has forbidden. So this is the meaning of saving the life of all mankind, for whoever forbids killing a soul without justification, the lives of all people will be saved from him.''

Similar was said by Mujahid; (And if anyone saved a life...) means, he refrains from killing a soul.

Al-`Awfi reported that Ibn `Abbas said that Allah's statement, (it would be as if he killed all mankind. .) means, "Whoever kills one soul that Allah has forbidden killing, is just like he who kills all mankind.''

Sa`id bin Jubayr said, "He who allows himself to shed the blood of a Muslim, is like he who allows shedding the blood of all people. He who forbids shedding the blood of one Muslim, is like he who forbids shedding the blood of all people.''

In addition, Ibn Jurayj said that Al-A`raj said that Mujahid commented on the Ayah, (it would be as if he killed all mankind,) "He who kills a believing soul intentionally, Allah makes the Fire of Hell his abode, He will become angry with him, and curse him, and has prepared a tremendous punishment for him, equal to if he had killed all people, his punishment will still be the same.''

Ibn Jurayj said that Mujahid said that the Ayah, (and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.) means, "He who does not kill anyone, then the lives of people are safe from him.''

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

It'd been long since my last post. I barely had time to spend with my current health condition. I still had my hypersomnia, fatigue, and few other symptoms. I thought it might be caused by stresses that i had to endure along this few years. Hopefully it will go away after next month, since I'll finish 'career' as a student's leader. Otherwise, I'll just go for few psychiatric follow-ups. And once again, hopefully it won't have to go that way.

I'd been busy 'again' this few weeks, as lots of student came and asked for lots of thing. Few issues came out, and praise be to Allah, those issues been managed well by my organization. What's interesting is I'd involved in lots of consultation regarding student's programs. Few had attended me as their consultant. I feel funny about this, but it's one of the scope of being a student's leader here.

With 30 days to go, I'll face my examination. Up until now, I never 'wholeheartedly' focusing on my study and preparation for examination. Pray for me so that I'll do well with this examination!.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, all praisesunto Him.

There’s a lot of things i kept to myself for a long time. This time, iwon’t anymore. There’s nothing actually that separate a human and his God. I beenthinking for a while, and try to search anything that possibly can be the wallbetween us, and there’s still nothing.

The nothingness given me hope, that i should try my best, to get thebest out of myself. In this current situation, it means my health. I reallyreally hope that, whatever gonna be the result, i will accept it as the fatewritten upon me. I’ll be glad if the result give me the enough time to be withmy beloved family, and my friends. I won’t ask for long, just a few years areenough for me.

For few days, i’d been kept dreaming of being in front of Kaaba,performing my prayer. I really miss the time i was able to go there andperformed umrah with my parent and a brother of mine. I, really hope for theremaining of the days i have, i will be able to go there once again, and meetHim. I mean it wholeheartedly.

A Giant Leap of Human Being

2011-01-01T07:35:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, all praisesunto Him.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong's first words from the surface of the moon on July 20,1969, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

As I see a lot of faked videos regarding NASA first landing on the surfaceof the moon,it’s hard actually for me to believe this uttered words from NeilArmstrong. Was the event true or not, the Neil Armstrong first words actuallymake sense.

Today’s date is 1st January 2011, mathematically presented as 1.1.11.In a simple meaning, we did actually crosses over 2010 years (since the mankindlearned how to calculate). This year, it might be the last for us, or it mightbe not, Allah knows best.

The main thing i wanna stress out here is the meaning of death to us.For each and every day, we are a day nearer to what destined for all of the mankind.As for today we entered a new year in history of mankind, we did, actually becomea year nearer to our own death.

Whether you agree with me or not, it’s up to you. As for us Muslims, webelieve in the Day of Judgement, or what so called, ‘The Hereafter’. We believethis world is only a test for us, whether we choose between this world, or TheHereafter and yet, we will continue our journey to another world to live foreverwith rewards or punishments from Allah. The best choice is actually to balancebetween this world and The Hereafter.

At this point, i wanna all of us, to sit still, and take a minute ortwo, to think about what is actually our choice. Did we focused a lot on oneside and neglected one other or not, here is the simple association/correlation: it’s worthless to compare between 60 years of life to forever. It’s easy toseek the pleased of mankind, rather than to seek the pleased of Allah. That’sall we need to ensure our victory in later life, if not here, in the Jannah (heaven),with the Will’s of Allah.

In the other hand, i just want to share something except things that arepersonal to me. I really didn’t like anyone else to read my own diary. Justignore my post tagged ‘Diary’ ok. I’d made my own choice to write as a way toexpress my own feelings,stories, daily routines what-so-ever, first to Allah,and there’s no second after Him.

I hear you breathe
You're lying close to me
The shadows gone
I have found my peace

You make me calm
With you I'm safe from harm
And right by your side
I'll stay through the night 'til eternity
That's the way it will be

And I wonder what you're dreaming of
You're so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me

And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I'll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
'Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don't let go say you'll always be here
So just hold me tight and I'll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine

Just like the sun
You make me warm inside
Like a soft summer breeze
A moment to seize
So true I won't stop loving you

And I wonder what you're dreaming of
You're so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me

And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I'll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
'Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don't let go say you'll always be here
So just hold me tight and I'll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine

And I wonder what you're dreaming of
You're so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me

And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I'll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
'Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don't let go say you'll always be here
So just hold me tight and I'll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine

Just hold me tight and I'll be fine

Last night, i had a short and nice conversation with one of my brotherthrough Skype program. It’s beneficial for us since now he study at CairoUniversity, Cairo. It’d been about 2 months since he left to further hisstudies. It kind of reminds me of my old-days with him.

For a teenagers aged 19 years old, it’ll be hard for him to left ourbeloved family behind thousands of kilometers far away from home. I knew sincewe was kid, he was kind of brave. Never afraid to start something and neverever easily gave up. I admired him so much till now, and really, he made mecried the day he flew. I was way behind his achievements, even once i studiedso hard, he always there to beat my results. I admit, he is the best of our siblings,and became the apple of my parent’s eyes. I never doubt that and i respectedhim a lot. I knew i will never be him.

I actually, never did my best after my secondary school. I mean the firstsecondary school before i moved to the same school as my brother. I lostsomewhere in the middle of my journey to be an adolescent, and losing enough until now. The fact that i entered medical school was just luck, is one of thethings i thanks Allah so much, perhaps by made my parent prayer became realized. Up until now, all that i always want is to finish my medical course and become agood doctor, god’s willing. All of sudden, my brother followed me along this hard anddifficult way, i really didn’t know why. Right from the start, the truth is, unlike others both of us never hadany dreams to achieve, we just made it all the way till what we had now. We were kind of weird,but here we are, we gonna be doctors someday!.

“Oh Allah, strengthen both of us throughout this noble way, and guideus along the path to be among the great Muslim physicians”

(just get focus on the main motive ok, i mean it)

Sweet friend of mine

2010-12-14T07:43:00.000+08:00

-I hope this flower resemble you-

Assalamualaikumwrt wbt.

In the nameof Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, all praises be upon Him.

My friend, ikind of admire her since 2 years ago. I admired her because one single thing. Aboutbeing truthful to herself, and to Allah. I’m writing about her just because shewas the one i saw hope inside her, and now on, the hope turned into reality.

For girlaged 19 years old, she introduced herself to me. I really do not know who shewas until we had been together into same organization. A student’s organization,kind of small, and i was made leader. It was my second time since matriculationto hold a position as a leader. Before came to my campus, i swore i neverwonder to be a student’s leader anymore. Our organization is focused to takecare about religious matter in my batch. Really, that time, i thought it wouldbe better for someone else than me to lead the organization, but then i realizewe had strengthen the bond (ukhuwah) between us by then time we end thatacademic session. It kind of made me happy.

Ok, back tothe main topic. For few months, she contacted me through messages, discussinglots of religious things that she wanted to know. Judging from her appearance,i knew she was not from any religious school. That time, i just wanted her torealize, a girl should consult any other girl for advices, reminders etc. Thisis especially when asking of discussing religious matter. I might not be ableto answer those topic that related to a ‘girl’. I made my mind to let her knowabout this, but then we suddenly lost contact between each other. She did not contactme anymore, and i thought it just settled this way. It was better this way. Iknew i had to.

Within thefew months time, i knew in my heart, that she had the potential to change andbecome someone better than herself at that particular time. She loves to heartazkirah, and she asked me to write something, or blogging so that she couldread it. Until that time, my sole purpose of having this blog was for her. Iwrote quite a lot on topics that she picked up when asking me. For example, “thestatus of women in Islam”. I made a lot of research in one topic that she askedso i could answer her questions. In the end, she ended having her blog too, aprivate one. I kind of limit myself to discuss about religious matter only whenshe asked, and i knew i had to find her any girl or woman that will continue mybit of consultation.

At the endof the day, she was someone who brave enough to change herself. She changed herhijab from wearing the simple one to the muslimah one. I really proud of hereven though i did not express it myself. I really knew how hard it was whenpeople started looking at you even what you are doing was right. Those eyes,they kind of criticize anyone who changed to be good instead. The world is nowopposite in lots of thing, for what we should see it good, it turned out to bebad. But my friend, Allah is always on your side. Our side insyaAllah. I prayedfor you to be strong enough to face everything that you change in your life. Even thoughwe are in different path, i always believe to hope on something. I had believein you, and you inspires me for now and forever. Just because she had beentruthful to herself, and to Allah. May Allah rewards you my friend, staystrong!.

Assalamualaikumwrt wbt.

In the nameof Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, all praises be upon Him.

In this fewweeks, i had facing difficulties in my life. Even so, i actually bear a greatresponsibility upon my shoulders, as a student leader. I never expected to endup a student leader anyway, because i’m not really good at it. As a start, ijust want to express what is actually bothering me lately.

By December2008, when i was in my 1st year of medical studies, i was asked by few of my seniorsto keep on focus in study (which i don't know why). But i’m really happy withit, to have such seniors that taken care of their juniors. Back then, when itwas in Mac 2008, when i got my result for 3rd Selajar, that few seniors cameasked my if i can be a leader of future generation in my campus. It shocked mea lot, but i prayed to Allah, let He show me the path.

Alhamdulillah,i glad that i made it to enter 2nd year (1st year was such a frightening yearfor me, to struggle in lots of thing in basic medicine). It was my time then toface the 1st examination in 2nd phase of medical course, when a seniorapproached me to become a candidate in campus election. I knew it already, ikeep praying to Allah, let just He the one to show me the path. I asked Him, ifi pass my 1st Selajar that time, it will be a sign for me to enter the campuselection, as a candidate. As a medical student, it requires you to pass all theexaminations before you can actually be a candidate.

I believe,it was Allah that ease on my way. It became a student leader in February 2010as a president. It was a great burden on my shoulders that i have to carry onfor long 1 year of duration to serve the students here. I made the decisionbased on two things : i pass my exam, and i had done my research on my batchand my senior batch (there will be no candidate for a guy, that really havetalent to lead, understand on the way of Islamic leadership, and would lead itin Islamic way). Upon all Muslim guys in my batch or my senior batch (2nd yearand 4th year respectively), it was fardhu kifayah to fill the position as aleader. If no one showed up to be a candidate, everyone of us will bear a great sin for whole 1 year long. I managed tobe a candidate and i won without any hardships, alhamdulillah.

A greatresponsibility came later. I was the only guy in my six-members committee ofstudent leaders, and i was made president. I was not fully prepared mentallyand physically to be a good leader. I wont write about anything that happen inmy committee, but really, it made me lost focus on my study. Up until now, ihaven’t study for about 10 whole months. I lost somehow in the middle of longjourney to be a leader. It caused me failed my 2nd Selanjar of 2nd phase inmedical course. Great burden came one by one, and for a small committee, it washard to serve the students. I also quited being a leader in my group (PBLgroup-problem based learning, a skill that we as medical student must acquiredwhen we graduate) which gave me a quite relief, even for a while. Fight forstudent’s right was really hard. That is the words. Being a leader, i made mefriends, and foes. Now, I really could not focus anymore in leadership and myown life, i made a lot of mistakes, i have been someone else that really differfrom the real me. It aches me, my heart, my feeling sometimes, but i know ihave to be strong. Right now i just feel so tense, that i could not bear itanymore. Ya Allah, please, strengthen me.

Recently, imerely had time to make a medical appointment with doctor. Up until now, ireally could not solve the mysteries inside me,for which i had an insight that i’m sick. Being aleader, it consumes my time to even to take care upon my health. Ya Allah, YaRahman, Ya Rahim, i pray to You, even so, please end my life with in a good way(khairul khatimah), and please do not end my life in a bad way (su’ul khatimah).Ya Mujib, istajib dua’ana.

The Sources Of Tafsir

2010-12-09T19:03:00.000+08:00

If someone asks about the best methods of Tafsir, we reply that the best method is to explain the Qur'an with the Qur'an itself. What is mentioned in general terms in one place in the Qur'an, is usually explained in another place. When one does not find this easily, he should look to the Sunnah because its purpose is to explain the Qur'an and elaborate upon its meanings. Allah said,

‘Surely, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad SAW) ^[1] the Book (this Quran) in truth that you might judge between men by that which Allah has shown you, so be not a pleader for the treacherous.’ (An Nisa 4:105)

‘And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad SAW) the reminder and the advice (the Quran), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought.’ (An Nahl 16:44) and,

‘This is why the Messenger of Allah said,

‘The Sunnah was a revelation from Allah just as the Qur'an, although it is not recited as the Qur'an is recited.’

So one seeks the Tafsir of the Qur'an with the Qur'an itself and with the Sunnah. If one cannot find the Tafsir in the Qur'an or Sunnah, he should refer to the statements of the Companions, who were the most knowledgeable of Tafsir, for they witnessed the situations and incidents that we did not witness. They also had the deepest comprehension, the most correct knowledge, and the most righteous works. Especially the scholars and leaders among them, such as the Four Rightly Guided Khalifahs and righteous Imams, and `Abdullah bin Mas`ud, may Allah be pleased with them all. Imam Abu Ja'far bin Jarir At-Tabari narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas`ud said,

"By He other than Whom there is no God, no Ayah in the Book of Allah was revealed but I have knowledge about whom and where it was revealed. Verily, if I know of a person who has more knowledge than me in the Book of Allah that the animals can reach (by travelling on them), I will travel to meet him."

Also, among the scholars of the Companions is the great scholar, the sea of knowledge, 'Abdullah bin `Abbas, the cousin of the Messenger of Allah, and the explainer of the Qur'an, as a result of the blessing of the supplication of the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him. The Prophet invoked Allah for the benefit of Ibn `Abbas,

(O Allah! Teach him Fiqh in the religion and interpretation.) ^[3]

Further, Ibn Jarir At-Tabari reported that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, "Yes, Ibn 'Abbas is the interpreter of the Qur'an." This Hadith has an authentic chain of narrators. ^[4] Ibn Mas`ud died in the thirty-second years of Hijrah and 'Abdullah bin `Abbas lived for thirty-six years after that. Hence, what do you think about the knowledge that Ibn 'Abbas collected after Ibn Mas`ud? Al-A'mash said that Abu Wa'il said, "Ali once appointed 'Abdullah bin `Abbas to lead the Haj season. Ibn 'Abbas gave a speech to the people in which he read and explained Surat Al Baqarah (according to another narration, Surat An-Nur) in such a way, that if the Romans, Turks and the Daylam heard him, they would have embraced Islam." ^[5]

This is why the majority of the knowledge Ismail bin `Abdur Rahman As-Suddi Al-Kabir collected in his Tafsir is from these two men, Ibn Mas`ud and Ibn `Abbas. Yet, he sometimes mentions what they narrated of the Israelite accounts that the Messenger of Allah has allowed when he said,

‘Convey on my behalf, even if it is one Ayah (sentence), and narrate from the Children of Israel, as there is no sin in this. And whoever intentionally lies on me, let him assume his assured seat in the Fire.’

This Hadith from 'Abdullah bin Amr was collected by Al-Bukhari (Fath Al-Bari 6:572). This is why when `Abdullah bin 'Amr had possession of two books from the People of the Scripture on the Day (battle) of the Yarmuk, he used to narrate what was in- them, because of what he understood of the Hadith that allowed this practice.

Israelite Accounts and Tales

Yet, the Israelite accounts and stories should only be used Not supporting evidence, not as evidence themselves. There are three types of these accounts and tales; a kind that we are `tire is authentic because we have in our religion something that testifies to its truth. The second type is what we know to be false based on what we have. The third is of neither type. Hence, we neither affirm nor deny this type, and we are allowed to narrate it, because of the Hadith that we mentioned. The majority of these are of no religious benefit. 'In instance, an Israelite tale mentions the names and number of the people of the Cave (Al-Kahj) and the color of their dog. They also include the type of tree Moses' staff was made of, the kind of the birds Ibrahim brought back to life by Allah's leave, the part of the cow the dead Israelite was struck with to resurrect him, and the kind of tree that Allah spoke to Moses through. Such examples of things that Allah kept unexplained in the Qur'an do not carry any daily or religious significance for responsible adults.

Tafsir of the Tabi`in

When unable to find the Tafsir in the Qur'an, the Sunnah or with the Companions, the scholars then look to the Tafsir of the Tabi`in, (second generation of Islam) such as Mujahid bin Jabr, who was a wonder himself in Tafsir. Muhammad bin Ishaq narrated that Abban bin Salih said that Mujahid said, "I reviewed the Mushaf with Ibn `Abbas thrice from beginning to end asking him about each and every Ayah in it." Also, Ibn Jarir narrated that Ibn Abi Mulaykah said, "I saw Mujahid asking Ibn `Abbas about the Tafsir of the Quran while he was holding his tablets (papers). Ibn 'Abbas would say to him, Write,' until Mujahid asked him about the entire Tafstr." This is why Sufyan Ath-Thawri said, "If the Tafsir reaches you from Mujahid, then it is sufficient for you." ^[5]

The scholars of Tafsir also include Sa`id bin Jubayr, 'Ikrimah-the freed servant of Ibn 'Abbas, 'Ata' bin Abi Rabah, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Masruq bin Al-Ajda`, Sa'Id bin AlMusayyib, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, Qatadah, Ad Dahhak bin Muzahim and other scholars among the Tabi`in and the following generations.

The statements of these Imams should be mentioned and referred to for Tafsir. We should mention here that these scholars use a variety of meanings for some words, leading those who do not have enough knowledge to think that they conflict, and thus, they consider them opposing statements. This is not correct, for some of these scholars would use variations of the same expressions and some of them would use the precise terms.

These meanings are all the same in the majority of instances, and those who have sound comprehension see this, and Allah is the One Who guides and directs to success.

Tafsir by mere Opinion

It is prohibited to indulge in Tafsir by mere opinion. Muhammad bin Jarir reported that Ibn 'Abbas said that the Prophet Peace be upon him said,

(For this, and the previous quotes, see At-Tabari 1:90-91)

[Whoever explains the Qur'an with his opinion or with what he has no knowledge of, then let him assume his seat in the Fire.]

At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Abu Dawud also recorded this Hadith. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan".

Explaining what One has Knowledge of, Silence otherwise

The Salaf used to refrain from explaining what they had no knowledge of. For instance, Ibn Jarir (At-Tabari) reported that Abu Ma'mar said that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, " Which land will carry me and which heaven will shade me if I said about Allah's Book that which I have no knowledge of? "^[6]

Ibn Jarir also reported that Anas narrated that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab read the Ayah,~{And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.)

while standing on the Minbar. He then said, " We know the fruit, so what is the Abba?" He then said, "O 'Umar! This is exaggeration." ^[7]

This statement means that 'Umar briefly wanted to know the exact nature of the Abba, for it was evident - to him - that it is a plant that grows on earth, just as Allah said,

‘And We cause therein the grain to grow. And grapes and clover plants’ (i.e. green fodder for the cattle) (80:27-28).

Ibn Jarir also recorded that Ibn Abi Mulaykah said that Ibn 'Abbas was asked about an Ayah, "That if any of you is asked about, he will indulge in its Tafsir." without hesitation Ibn 'Abbas refused to say anything about it (meaning with his opinion). This narration has an authentic chain of narrators. He also narrated that Ibn Abi Mulaykah said, "A man asked Ibn 'Abbas about, One Day, the space whereof is a thousand years.

Ibn 'Abbas asked him, What is, Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years~?'

The man said, `I only asked you to tell me.' Ibn 'Abbas said, They are two Days that Allah has mentioned in His Book and He has better knowledge of them.' He disliked commenting on the Book of Allah when he had no knowledge about it."

Al-Layth narrated that Yahya bin Sa`id said that Said bin Al-Musayyib used to talk about what he knows of the Qur'an (At-Tabari 1:86). Also, Ayyub, Ibn 'Awn and Hisham AdDastuwa i narrated that Muhammad bin Sirin said, "I asked 'Ubaydah (meaning, As-Salmani ) about an Ayah of the Qur'an and he said,

"Those who had knowledge about the circumstances surrounding revelation of the Qur'an have perished. So fear Allah and seek the right way."

Ash-Sha`bi narrated that Masruq said, "Avoid Tafszr, because it is narration related to Allah."^[8]

These authentic narrations from the Companions and the Imams of the Salaf (righteous ancestors) testify to their hesitation to indulge in the Tafsir of what they have no knowledge of. As for those who speak about what they have linguistic and religious knowledge of, then there is no sin in this case. Hence, the scholars and the Imams, including the ones we mentioned, issued statements of Tafsir and spoke about what they had knowledge of, but avoided what they had no knowledge of.

Refraining from indulging in what one has no knowledge of is required of everyone, just as everyone is required to convey the knowledge that they have when they are asked. Allah said,

‘To make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it’ (3:187);

Also, a Hadith narrated through several chains of narrators says, ^[9]
(Whoever is asked about knowledge that he knows but hid it, will be tied with a muzzle made of fire on the Day of Resurrection.

A New Start

2010-12-09T02:29:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum wrt wbt.

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. Praise be upon Him.

This is my new blog. I reset already all the posts and every each that related to me in my past blog. The reason why i do it, i really do not know. I just want to keep a distance from every one, and start writing back. I love to write, it is pleasure and refreshing, it just me and Allah swt with no one else interfering. It just sometimes i need to be alone, to look back upon myself and try anything to improve on it, what so-called muhasabah in Islam. So i believe this is my space, to let myself freely write, everything that i think and being away for a while from the reality of life.

Actually, this is my first this writing everything in English, before this it is totally bahasa as i’m Malay. But it challenge me to improve a lot in this part of writing, as i believe, English has a better translation to Quran rather than malay. I love to hear one preach in English, as the translation is easy and rather direct towards the real meaning of Quran itself. And the most important, for me, it gives me some sort of real feeling towards understanding Islam.

By the way, for a better start, i just want to quote a very brief surah, but rather important in our life.

Surah 1 - Al Fatiha

(THE OPENING)

1) In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

2) Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds;

3) Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

4) Master of the Day of Judgement.

5) Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.

6) Show us the straight way,

7) The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

[This is the English translation of the meaning of the Quran (original text is by Abdullah Yusuf Ali: 1934), not the Quran itself. The Quran is in its original, pristine Arabic as it was revealed from Allah (the word for God in Arabic). Someone new to these verses may not fully understand the verses and may take them out of context. One must look into all the verses in relation to each other, the Sunnah and Hadith (example and traditions of the Prophet (s)), the context of revelation, Tafsir (commentaries), the original lexical Arabic and scholarly understanding to fully interpret the Quran's meaning.]

As this is the important surah that must be recited by Muslims all over the world, i believe, the meaning is always important. For those who want to just recite it, for them there are rewards from Allah swt. But for them who recite it with the intention of praying to Allah swt, for them there are much more than just recitation. Allah swt love to hear praying from us.

Regards,

I’m Muslim!
