Say "SAYA SUKA!"

2010-08-26T23:22:00.000-07:00

salam wbt...

Bulan ramadhan adalah bulan tidur spnjg hari dan hanya bangun utk berbuka puasa, bulan smgt buat kuih raya smpai terlebih,bulan baju raya 5 pasang, bulan lapar & dahaga, bulan lemah semangat, bulan hibernasi, bulan mengharapkan imam baca surah pendek, bulan penat, bulan pasif...

well, maybe, this is the definition given by the muslims nowadays...we have confused the non-muslims, in fact, to ourselves as well... we might say, what am i doing here in the month of ramadhan, all I have gained so far is extra sleeping hour? well, the tongue might not show it, but the action might do.

Kenapa MESTI suka bulan ramadhan?....MESTI...

(points taken from Prof. Dr. Muhammad Badie’ Mursyid Am Ikhwan Muslimin) pls read till the end..interesting!

Nafsu

Ibadah puasa merupakan pembebasan daripada cengkaman nafsu. Oleh kerana itu Allah mewajibkan puasa untuk membebaskan manusia daripada belenggu nafsu dan memulakan langkah keluar daripada penjara jasadnya dan menewaskan belitan syahwatnya, meletakkan diri pada tahap keinsanan dan menyerupai para malaikat. Tidak hairan ruh orang berpuasa meningkat naik dan semakin dekat dengan Raja yang Tertinggi dan orang yang berpuasa mengetuk pintu langit dengan doanya lalu dibuka pintu langit, dan dia berdoa kepada Tuhannya lalu diperkenankan permintaannya, dan orang yang berpuasa memanggil-Nya lalu Allah berkata (maksudnya): “Aku menyahut panggilanmu hambaku, Aku menyahut panggilanmu”.

Kemungkinan inilah hikmahnya kenapa ayat tentang doa diselitkan di celah-celah ayat-ayat puasa. Firman Allah (maksudnya):“Dan apabila hamba-hambaKu bertanya kepadamu (Muhammad) tentang Aku, maka sesungguhnya Aku dekat. Aku kabulkan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila dia berdoa kepadaKu. Hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi perintahKu dan beriman kepadaKu, agar mereka memperolehi kebenaran”. (Al-Baqarah: 186)

Dosa

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a dari nabi saw bersabda (maksudnya):"Barangsiapa yang berpuasa dengan penuh keimanan dan mengharapkan keredhaan Allah tentulah dosa-dosa yang terdahulu akan diampunkan”.

Akhlak

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a bahwa Rasulullah saw bersabda (dalam sebuah hadith Qudsi) (maksudnya):“Apabila seorang daripada kamu berpuasa maka janganlah ia menuturkan kata-kata yang buruk (keji) dan janganlah menjerit-jerit tidak menentu (hiruk pikuk). Apabila ia dimaki atau dicabar oleh seseorang hendaklah ia berkata saya berpuasa, saya sedang berpuasa”. (Al-Bukhari)

~~Lapar & dahaga semata-mata~~

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a bahawa Rasulullah saw bersabda (maksudnya):“Orang yang tidak meninggalkan kata-kata dusta dan beramal dengannya tidaklah Allah berhajat supaya dia meninggalkan makanan dan minumannya”.

Menurut kata penyair tentang hal ini:

Jika aku tidak dapat menutup telingaku daripada mendengar perkataan yang buruk,

Tidak dapat menundukkan mataku daripada melihat perkara yang haram,

Tidak dapat mengawal lidahku daripada berkata dusta

Maka habuanku daripada puasaku hanyalah lapar dan dahaga

Sekalipun aku mengaku berpuasa pada suatu hari, namun sebenarnya aku tidak puasa!

Masjid everywhere!

Dunia Islam di bulan Ramadhan yang penuh berkat ini bertukar seolah-olah menjadi sebuah masjid. Alangkah hebatnya! Dunia ini menjadi sebuah masjid yang amat besar, setiap sudutnya bergema dengan alunan ayat-ayat al-Quran, setiap batang tiangnya di kelilingi jutaan huffaz al-Quran! Mereka mengalunkan ayat-ayat suci yang diturunkan dari langit, diperdengarkan kepada seluruh penghuni bumi! Senario yang sungguh indah, menarik dan bergemerlapan!

· Stay-up bermakna

Di bulan Ramadhan dipenuhi Qiamullail: Berqiamullail mengandungi kelebihan yang besar yang tidak dapat diatasi melainkan oleh solat yang fardu.

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a secara marfu’ berkata:Nabi saw ditanya, apakah solat yang paling utama selepas solat fardu? Dan apakah puasa yang paling utama selepas puasa Ramadhan? Nabi menjawab: Solat yang paling utama selepas solat fadu ialah solat di tengah malam. Puasa yang lebih utama selepas puasa Ramadhan ialah puasa pada bulan-bulan Haram”.

Daripada Abu Malik al-Asy’ari, Rasulullah saw telah bersabda (maksudnya):“Di dalam syurga ada sebuah bilik. Diperlihatkan luarnya dari dalamnya dan diperlihatkan dalamnya dari luarnya yang Allah sediakan untuk orang yang memberi makan kepada orang lapar, orang yang lembut kata-katanya, orang yang sentiasa berpuasa dan orang yang solat ketika manusia sedang tidur”.

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a berkata. Aku mendengar Rasulullah s.a.w. berkata tentang Ramadhan (maksudnya):“Barangsiapa yang mendirikan malam ramadhan dengan penuh keimanan dan mengharapkan keredhaan Allah tentulah dosa-dosanya yang terdahulu akan diampunkan”.

· Bulan jihad

Bulan Ramadhan kekal mengurniakan kepada umat Islam kekuatan dan mengingatkan mereka kepada Perang Badar. Musuh Allah sebenarnya gentar untuk berhadapan dengan tentera muslimin di bulan Ramadhan kerana mereka yakin bahawa bulan Ramadhan membekalkan orang Islam dengan kekuatan yang tidak diperolehi pada bulan lain. Sesungguhnya orang-orang Russia menganggap Ramadhan adalah bulan malang kerana mereka pernah menerima kekalahan pada masa lalu. Mereka takut bulan jihad tiba ketika mereka sedang berperang dengan tentera Islam. Kalau itu berlaku pastinya mereka akan ditewaskan!

· Bukan bulan menyerah dan malas

Bulan ramadhan bahkan Ramadhan ialah bulan sabar yang memberikan bekalan jihad kepada seorang muslim. Bekalan yang pertama untuk berjihad ialah sabar dan kemahuan yang kuat. Sekiranya orang yang tidak mampu berjihad melawan nafsunya jauh sekali mampu melawan musuhnya. Orang yang tidak mampu memenangi ke atas nafsu dan syahwatnya jauh sekali mampu memenangi perjuangan melawan musuhnya. Orang yang tidak mampu bersabar menahan lapar dalam sehari jauh sekali mampu bersabar menghadapi perpisahan dengan keluarga dan tanah air demi mencapai matlamat yang besar.

(cubalah kalau kita berperang dlm bulan ramadhan, dgn bekalan2 amal yg x seberapa diselit dengan kemalasan,agak2 nya menang x?)

Kenapa kena & mesti suka bulan ramadhan?

Sebab….

Allah telah menyediakan jalan untuk membangkitkan ruh, menyihatkan jasad, menguatkan kemahuan, membiasakan diri menahan sabar, mengetahui nikmat, mendidik perasaan belas kasihan dan latihan untuk menyerah diri kepada Allah Tuhan seluruh alam secara total,berebutlah!

~Please define our ramadhan well~

Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope (al-baqarah : 286)

Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya (al-baqarah:286)

Bila hubungan dengan Allah tak hebat

2010-04-21T15:06:00.001-07:00

"Bahawa sesungguhnya setiap amalan itu bergantung kepada niat, dan bahawa sesungguhnya bagi setiap orang apa yang dia niatkan. Barangsiapa yang hijrahnya menuju kepada Allah dan RasulNya, maka hijrahnya kepada Allah dan RasulNya. Barangsiapa yang hijrahnya kerana dunia yang dia mahu mencari habuannya, atau kerana seorang perempuan yang dia mahu kahwininya, maka hijrahnya ke arah perkara yang ditujuinya itu.” riwayat bukhari dan muslim

Bismillah...dengan nama mu ya rabb, aku memulakan segala-galanya.. Jadikanlah kami hamba2Mu yang sentiasa menoleh melihat dosa-dosa yang lampau agar kami tergolong dalam orang-orang yang bertaubat dan selalu meletakkan diri di dalam pandanganMu.. dan kerana sebab itu, dalam pandangan dan pemeliharaanMu, aku memulakan segala-galanya agar setiap perkataan yang lahir,di situlah terdapatnya keredhaanMu...

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

--.H.A.T.I.--

alhamdulillahi ala kulli hal...ana masih lagi hidup..diberi peluang oleh Allah untuk bertaubat membilang dosa-dosa lalu..dan menjadi khalifah di muka bumi untuk berusaha menyentuh jiwa-jiwa di sekeliling... bahagianya jika dapat membuat jiwa-jiwa ukhti di sekeliling mengenaliMu.. perasaan mengenali Allah sangat indah...tak terkata...gembiralah jiwa, tenanglah hati sekiranya seorang hamba dapat merasa betapa dekatnya Allah di dalam diri,,sangat dekat..bestnya kalau kawan-kawan kita sendiri dapat rasa apa yang kita rasa...

tapi, perasaan ni hilang bila maksiat mula timbul dan dikumpul hari demi hari sampai menutupi zon "keindahan" mengenali rabb sendiri...dan yang paling tak bestnya, hamba yang berdosa sedikit sekali tak perasan, tak mampu nak sedar...kerana dosa bermaharajalela sampaikan perasaan untuk sedar itu pun dah terpadam...kalau diikutkan..berbuat dosa dalam keadaan sedar lagi baik daripada berbuat dosa tanpa disedari kerana hamba yang berdosa..apabila dia sedar..dia tahu dia perlu pada taubat...tapi bagaimana dengan hamba yang tidak sedar2 diri? apakah indicator yang akan memanggil hati yang berdosa untuk pulang kepadaNya? Jika kita mampu sedar pada dosa-dosa kita, maka itu tidak lain hanya lah kerana rahmat daripadaNya...

" Ya Allah bantulah aku dalam mengingati dan bersyukur kpdMu, dan kurniakanlah jalan yang terbaik untuk aku beribadah kpdMu"

bagaimana pula hubungan dengan Allah dan hubungan dengan manusia.. selama ni ummi selalu pesan..kalau ana bergaduh ke...dengan sapa2..ummi akan bagi satu ayat skema "cuba cek hubungan dengan Allah"...masa itu ana sangat blur..tak mampu nak hadam nasihat..tiap-tiap kali ummi bagi nasihat tu je, ana akan buat-buat muka paham...kesian ummi, tertipu dengan anak...

sekarang, alhamdulillah masih cuba memahami nasihat yang sama..."cuba cek hubungan dgn Allah"... sedihnya bila kita dah faham ayat tu...terasa jauh pulak diri dengan Allah..hubungan dengan Allah terasa sangat tak hebat..bila datang je ujian dengan rakan-rakan sekeliling, ana risau sangat hubungan diri dengan Allah..ish..gerun bila fikir...aku ni di tingkatan mana, ya Rabb? lagi menakutkan kalau kita diuji bukan dengan seorang, tapi banyak rakan-rakan sekeliling...bila bersalaman je dengan rakan-rakan ,rasa sngat pilu..terbayang " hebatnya hubungan mereka dengan Allah, rakan2 semua menyenangi mereka" bukanlah kerapatan bersama manusia yang dikhuatirkan..tapi hubungan dengan Allah..bagaimana entah?

dalam satu riwayat, apabila nabi muhammad s.a.w. berdakwah dan terdapat orang yang tidak menerima dakwahnya, salah satu perkara yang menjadi kerisauan nabi, adalah mungkin diri sendiri terdapat kekurangan...nabi tidak pantas menyalahkan orang lain apabila dakwah tidak berjalan lancar, tapi nabi muhasabah dan memeriksa peribadi diri dahulu...subhanallah... betapa pentingnya hubungan seseorang hamba dengan Rabbnya...

teringat pada ukhti..menceritakan tentang solat malamnya..pada satu malam tu, susah sungguh dia bangun untuk mengerjakan solat tahajjud..jadi,rakan ni pun muhasabah balik amalan2nya..cek2 balik..rupanya malam sebelum tu..dia menonton kisah cerekarama..yang di mana sebelum ni dia bukanlah seorang yang melayan cerita2 tv..bila fikir balik, hebatnya dia ni..sangat bersih hati dia, smpai bila hatinya terlalai sedikit pun, dia mampu sedar..mampu mendapat lagi rahmat daripadaNya..teringat pada kisah di mana bila turun sahaja ayat pengharaman arak, sahabat2 nabi beriya-iya menjauhkan diri daripada arak smpai memecahkan tempayan2 arak...hati yang hebat..tak teragak-agak untuk mengikut suruhan Allah...

terfikir lagi...kenapa ana menaip?kenapa susah2 buat blog?sekiranya ketika membuat blog, ana memikirkan sekelompok manusia yang perlu ana sentuh hati-hatinya, sebenarnya jiwa ana lah yang pertama-tama yang perlu disentuh...tak perlu menunding jari kepada org lain, sedangkan hati dan hubungan dengan Allah tak sehebat mana...bukanlah ana bermaksud menghalang pada amar maa'ruf nahi mungkar..cuma mahu memperhebat amal maaruf nahi mungkar...menegur orang biarlah dalam keadaan bukan membenci kepada pelaku maksiat itu, tetapi dengan perasaan sayang kerana mahu menyelamatkannya dari dosa...dan sangat berhajat Allah sentiasa membersihkan hati kita dari maksiat tersebut...

apa yang penting, sekali lagi hablum minallah..hubungan dengan Allah..bila hubungan dengan Allah sangat hebat..semua benda kita boleh buat! mengapa nabi dalam berdakwah, nabi tidak terus menghalang perkara-perkara mungkar..?sebaliknya,nabi fokuskan dahulu kepada hati..aqidah..nabi semat jiwa-jiwa yang ada pada masa itu dengan keesaan dan keCINTA-an kepada Allah..ini menjelaskan kisah sahabat2 tadi yang meninggalkan terus arak apabila diturunkan ayat pengharaman arak..mereka tidak menunggu beberapa hari untuk membuat keputusan..mereka terus mengikut...bila kita mencintai seseorang,kita boleh buat apa shj utknya..logikkan?

ya Allah tenangkanlah hati hamba-hambaMu ini, jadikanlah Engkau sebagai cinta pertama kami..jauhilah kami dari berkeluh kesah dan sifat marah...kurniakanlah kami kesabaran

قُلۡ يَـٰعِبَادِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيم

(az-zumar :53)

Katakanlah: "Hai hamba-hamba-Ku yang malampaui batas terhadap diri mereka sendiri, janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah mengampuni dosa-dosa semuanya. Sesungguhnya Dia-lah Yang Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.

rise and shine!

bismillah..in the name of Allah,robbi wa robbukum...

alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah..we are still living in this world up until today through His mercy..alhamdulillah, we are still here to work for Him alone...spreading the fikrah of Islam to all around us..dont feel tired along the way..dont give up just yet..cause heaven will be our ultimate home..if you feel like taking a break from dakwah,do so in jannah..

seen a graph before? sometimes we can see it rising up,sometimes going down or maybe constantly in the same level..the same goes with our lives..coloured with the ups and downs..sorrow and happiness...surely we have felt many sadness and joy throughout our lives..sometimes we felt very eager to do something,studying maybe? and sometimes we would find ourselves probably were the laziest creatures on earth to do any work..even to put short smiles on our faces.. sometimes, uneasiness do arise in our hearts..and we would go "y this bad feeling,all of a sudden?"

here the hadith that might suit..

bertanya Aisyah r.a. wahai Rasulullah jika smua musibah adalah penghapus dosa,adakah seseorang yang tertusuk duri juga ada penghapusan dosanya?Betul,bahkan kegundahan hati pun ada penghapusan dosanya (sahih bukhari)

Allah wants us to reflect and come back to him..make istighfar..there might be maksiat that we might overlook them..must be..we never are perfect..cause Allah wants to forgive us that He gives us difficulties..so whenever we feel weak or "tested"..dont frown as frowning seals our hearts..utter to yourself "alhamdulillah"..Allah wants you back...go and repent..

what about studying?the teachers are too fast!they are boring!etc.. studying is also jeehad.. it's an ibadah if we do it for the sake of Allah..maybe we are too busy feeling so down to study or to go to classes that we might forget about our brothers and sisters on the other side of the world..

they fight with their souls to defend their own land..they would even be inspected everyday at the checkpoints on the way to school..na'uzubillah..we are too comfortable that we could not even think and try to feel what they have gone through...while we are lazy and not in the mood to go to classes,they are fighting with all their might to go to theirs...

Rasulullah SAW. bersabda: “Prajurit yang baik jika ditempatkan di bagian logistik dia akan tetap berada tempatnya, jika ditempatkan di garis depan dia akan berada di garis depan” (HR. Abu Daud)

seek knowledge everywhere..if we are always focusing on our laziness, we are being selfish..always thinking bout ourselves alone..catch every knowledege whenever possible...and it might be useful in our dakwah as well,insyaAllah

Janganlah kamu bersikap lemah, dan janganlah (pula) kamu bersedih hati, padahal kamulah orang-orang yang paling tinggi (derajatnya), jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman. (ali-imran :139)

it's not the matter of how badly we fall,it's the matter of trying to rise back up after the fall..

strive!

the glorified names

2010-02-14T08:47:00.001-08:00

in the name of Allah..

we have tonnes of friends..maybe more than 10, perhaps 100 or 1000 or more..surprisingly, we can remember all of their names and their faces one by one..

and

we have only 1 god..do we manage to remember all of the 99 names of His?

"Hanya milik Allah asmaa-ul husna, maka bermohonlah kepada-Nya dengan menyebut asmaa-ul husna itu.." (al-a'raaf:180)

short reminder

2010-01-24T10:14:00.000-08:00

salam...it has been a very long while...(coz the last post was published last year)..hehe..

Alhamdulillah, seriously praise be to Allah...all of the creatures belong to Him, every single breath we take is just His alone...alhamdulillah3...Allah, you have favored us with everything...even my ocean of gratitude wouldn't exceed your mercy... alhamdulillah, i have come to know You,my creator.. grant me more "ma'rifah"(knowledge regarding Allah), so i can always reach You..always...

"knock knock knock!" ehem,how is your iman doing?doing ok or fine or at the roof or supremely low or no change?how is my iman doing on the other hand? you and i can judge it our own..

-quality of ibadah

-level of "khusyuk-ness"

-willingness to spread islam

-level of patience towards any test

-relationship with people around you,your parents, friends, neighbors and most importantly with Allah...

-the frequency to turn to Allah and cry to Him...

-etc

reflect and reflect...muhasabah...

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, in one of his famous sayings said “Judge yourselves before you are judged, evaluate yourselves before you are evaluated and be ready for the greatest investigation (the Day of Judgement)”

what about our duty as da'ie?(caller to islam)..Allah,He has given us so many, so im asking, can we at least contribute something to Islam, perhaps this is one of the ways to show our sign of gratitude to Him...doing something for the sake of Allah..remind others..encouraging others towards good deeds...Allah, i'm sorry i have been living my life all these years,contributing nothing...

Sesungguhnya Kami telah mengurniakan kepadamu

kebaikan/ni'mat yang banyak .

Oleh itu, kerjakanlah sembahyang kerana Tuhanmu semata-mata

dan berkorbanlah (sebagai bersyukur).

(al-kauthar :1-2)

raise our level of iman, be serious in our prayers, do something for islam...

Just friends or more?

2009-10-13T09:01:00.000-07:00

bismillah..in the name of Allah...

There are friends whom we put our trust in, sharing all of the secrets till there are no boundaries in between...

There are friends that we enjoy hanging out with, spending time doing silly stuff together..

There are friends who make us laugh every single minute, that we can't imagine how our lives would be without them around..

There are friends who could be our crying shoulders, sweeping away all of our sadness..always being there by our sides..

There are friends who would listen to all of our boring stories,even if it takes all night long..

There are friends who can inspire us.. in any thing we do...

There are friends who would offer us the words of wisdom whenever we need them..

YET...

They are also friends who would leave us when they have found other companies.

There are friends who wont accept our weaknesses..

There are friends who just pretend to be our friends for their own good...

There are friends who just don't like to listen to our words and take us for granted..

They are friends who neglect us when we can't reach up to their expectation..

_________

OR in spite all that, without noticing it, we are the ones who do those stuff otherwise..

Or..there are no friends at all.. discovering that we have no true friends from the beginning..

_______________________________________________________________________

No matter what type of friends you have..the ones who can keep your secrets...the ones who can make funny jokes you love...the ones who you feel safe to be around with... just don't forget our one and only best friend whenever we are in great happiness or in deep sorrow..for he is the best among all...and He is...ALLAH...

if you ever found the best companion through out your journey,
then He should be Allah...

"...and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein."
"...dan Kami lebih dekat kepadanya daripada urat lehernya"

[ Qaaf :16]

Shame shame!

2009-08-27T16:24:00.000-07:00

=Memang hairan orang yang
dapat hidup sampai Ramadan ini, tetapi dosa dia tidak diampun.

=It is surprising that people can live up to Ramadan, but their sins are not forgiven

It's a shame to treat the month(ramadhan) just like any others..
Ya ayyuhal mukminun..grab the opportunity! It's the only month that you can perform solat terawih..the only month which there is laylatul-qadr..

I saw people performing their prayers.. I envy them.. to see their tears running down..when there wasnt enough air to breathe to say their readings out clearly,thinking of the commited sins..

Frustating enough to see when it was so easy for them to get "the feel" during their solah.. how they "khusyuk" and how they felt very deeply remorse...when myself couldnt reach that far..alhamdulillah..it's hard yet I am trying..It's ok..innallaha ma as sobirin..giving up doesnt suit muslims anyway..

We dont get ramadhan all years..it comes only once/year..so dont waste it!increase what you have to increase! If let's say last year, you had managed to perform 8 rakaat of terawih.. maybe this year you can add more to it..maybe 10 for the first five nights..then 12 for the next ones..and in the end you'll find that you' ve done 20 in the last nights of ramadhan..never mind take it slowly..if 20 rakaats are too many..do what u can.. if last year, u could read 4 pages of Quran after each prayer..try to add one more.. biar sedikit tapi istiqamah..

amalan fardhu di dalam bulan tersebut(ramadhan) digandakan pahalanya sebanyak 70 kali ganda

go and say your prayers..doa all day long...especially during laylatul qadr...when making doa,people might wish to get big money.. to get a raise.. to get beautiful wives even they already have 3.. but the most beautiful wish is forgiveness..what else do we wish for when forgiveness by Allah is superly enough..

Nabi bertanya kepada Aisyah semula "Apakah kamu nak buat bila kamu bertemu dengan malam Qadar?". Aisyah menjawab "Saya tak tahu" kemudian Aisyah bertanya lagi "Apakah yang patut saya buat bila bertemu dengan malam Qadar itu?". Nabi berkata kepada Aisyah "Malam itu malam yang amat baik untuk beramal dimalamnya dan amat mudah dimakbul Allah doanya". Aisyah bertanya lagi "Apakah doa yang paling baik untuk aku berdoa pada malam itu?" Nabi jawab "Kalau kamu sempat berjumpa dan mengetahui malam itu ialah malam Qadar berdoalah "Allah humma innaka 'afuu 'un karimun tuhib bul 'af wa fa' fu 'anni" (maknanya Ya Allah, Kamulah Tuhan yang sangat suka mengampun, ampunkanlah dosa-dosa saya).

get close to Allah..the one who created us..who gave us lives.. too little the times we come back to Him.. yet spending more time to ps2, internet, tv,firends...etc knowing they would not even help us in the day of judgement.. those who havent died(huu..)make dates with Allah..He's infinitely there for us..

reflect..

Faya ‘ajaban liman adraka ramada na fala yukh farulah:hairan orang yang dapat hidup sampai Ramadan ini, tetapi dosa dia tidak diampun

so..if you still treat Ramadhan like any other months.. no effort to do more ibadahs.. still not decreasing lagho stuff.. feeling no regrets as one of the days of Ramadhan passes you by... SHAME on U!
(this post is especially for the one who wrote it..)

THE BLUE AND THE YELLOW

2009-08-03T01:08:00.001-07:00

Have a dream...a “fantasy-oid” one..

It was a WAR!!!The battle between two tribes…but here there were no people..They were robots! Imagine two large groups of robots like those from the transformers were fighting in a battlefield..one tribe was of the blue robots and the other was of the yellow ones..

With super high technology used on the equipments and the gadgets..They brutally fought one another to define the men of victory…I couldn’t remember which side of the robots but let’s just assume that the blue robots were taking control of the war... they vanished the yellow robots one by one..the yellow had become weak..and they were finally defeated.. so these blue warriors eventually have the power over the buildings and towers of the yellow ones..they invaded the castle and started to settle there.. as pictured, the blue were having their great time in the castle..they were having fun with drinks.. and some were having their break..lying down..

After some time, the blue robots went to take ablution(wudu’)..oh yeah they were muslims.. so they went to the ablution room..at the very moment of the ablution..Very suddenly, the blue robots surprisingly were attacked! An ambush by the left yellow robots.. The blue robots were badly cornered.

And the next thing I knew, there was the scene where all of the locals were running haphazardly, as the city was falling down into pieces..The wind was striking very hard, the sand was whirling endlessly. And out of the blue, I saw myself was running with my friends too... (we were among the locals) and my friends, one by one disappeared through the whirling sand. And in the end I was all alone by myself. I kept on running real fast, trying to outrun the tornado while there’s a BIGGG lion behind, speeding towards me.

Alone, I dashed into a mosque I think..Climbing to the top floor and the lion was still there behind, until I reached some kind of a corridor where the ground floor exactly below it, located a huge pool. No clue where to go next. I turned around, the lion was still running fast towards me. I stood there, as if waiting for it to come nearer…And when it was about to pounce me, suddenly I bend myself, trying to escape, and there was the lion flying beyond the corridor and finally it fell down, heading itself down into the pool. Booosh… I was saved.

And then, there was me suddenly outside alone in the desert..After the war..Me and the silent sand, no buildings no people..then I saw another big mosque like that in Turkey, only it’s larger. I headed towards it, and pulled open the huge door. I jerked my head inside, there I saw an old woman, in her telekung sitting with her back facing me. Then she turned her head around. She looked at me..And she smiled…-end-

Now as usual,the time for a conclusion..

The blue robots after they've won the war..They were having fun, carried away by victory.. why didn’t they at least sujud syukur to express their syukur to Allah and worse, they perform solah LATER after that..they are neglectful of their solah..

Maka kecelakaanlah bagi orang-orang yang shalat. (yaitu) orang-orang yang lalai dari shalatnya (Al-ma'un : 4-5)

The true victory is not merely by conquering something..the true victory is to be able to give thanks to Allah whether we have achieved something or even when we lose..(kpd diri sndiri dan kwn2 yang menanti result final.. terima dgn bersyukur whatever our results may be..huu)

Dan apabila Kami berikan kesenangan kepada manusia niscaya berpalinglah dia; dan membelakang dengan sikap yang sombong; dan apabila dia ditimpa kesusahan niscaya dia berputus asa. (Al-israa' :83)

And the next point, in the end..in my dream..I was the only one saved from all of the people..and finally, I met with an old woman, indicating that there was a new population..with new people… perhaps the old woman wearing her telekung shows that the people from the new population are much better than the previous..this ayah might suit it..

Jika Dia menghendaki, niscaya Dia memusnahkan kamu dan mendatangkan makhluk yang baru (untuk menggantikan kamu). (Faathir :16)

Never let duniawi carry you away..make you away from Allah..as students, it's true we are always showered by assignments..but don't forget the holliest assignment of all..is to present your solah to Allah..5 times a day

Sesungguhnya beruntunglah orang yang membersihkan diri (dengan beriman),dan dia ingat nama Tuhannya, lalu dia sembahyang. (Al-a'laa:14-15)

not just a journey II

2009-07-30T03:27:00.000-07:00

So during that 10/11/12 years..they were the years where Muhammad taught them about tauhid, about akidah…to believe in Allah..to sharpen their faith…there were no solat,fasting or zakat yet…its all bout aqidah..trust in Allah. If i ask u…do u belive in Allah?do u love Allah?n i assume u would go like “yeah..of coz..I DO BELIVE IN ALLAH N I LOVE ALLAH” but words alone r just not enuogh…its ur ACTION!…

so only after israk n mikraj,muslims are required to do their solah 5 times a day,this will prove that if YOU LOVE ALLAH,U SHOULD DO WHATEVER HE ASKS.Allah had ordered us muslims through Muhammad to perform solah. People with strong aqidah insyaAllah have no problem in doing so.see the point y akidah is so important?so that u belive in Allah n wutever He says even it s not acceptable by the human brains(after all,He's the one who created our brains..)and when u have this strong aqidah,u have the strength to do what ur told to do so by Allah. solat, puasa, zakat, haji, etc(without whining).insyaAllah.so our aqidah,..keep it straight.

What's the significance of the story?it can be applied in raising up our children..for the 1st 10/11/12 years u fertilize akidah in them n then after 10/11/12 years..u ask them to solat!wajib fardhu!ok.. it doesnt mean that before 10/11/12 years old,u dont have to expose the way of how to perform solah to ur children..imagine..we taught our kids bout knowing Allah,tauhid,akidah,etc when they were small..n when they reach 10/11/12..we say “ok dollah(eg,the child’s name is dollah..)go and pray!n of coz dollah ll go like “erm???(with super duper raised left eyebrow)”.well..dollah doesnt kno how 2 read Al-fatihah! Y? bcoz the parents didn’t teach him bfore.

ever heard that when our child reaches 7 years old, we should start teaching him/her how to perform solah..when the child reaches 10 years old and he/she doesn’t perform solah, we shall give him/her a stroke or 2,etc(i dont know how many) so we have to teach them from the start when they are still small..it’s ok when they reach 2,3 years old, we ask them to perform solat together…even they ll do dramatic actions,wutsoever…such as sujud ala2 suparman..sujud with unlifted hips..it’s ok..they r children..take them easy..they ll be ok time by time..as long as u teach them right…,insyaAllah

Last but not least..what are our roles?

Believe israk n mikraj with all our heart…

Raise ur kids properly…its important to strengthen them 1^st with aqidah..(huhu..parenting class)

never feel lazy in doing ibadah…especially in performing solah…solah is different from other ibadah in that the order of solah was received directly by Rasulullah SAW from Allah SWT during israk and mikraj and not like any others that had involved Jibril as a messenger. After all,the 1^st thing that will be judged from us during the judgement day is our solah..therefore,perform ur solahs.. never get lazy..n try ur best to be khusyuk…n solahs r best done if they r done on time!

israk n mikraj happened in the year of sorrow(thn kesedihan)..which when the persons who were most dear to him, Khadijah and Abu Thalib had passed away..n then after that, Allah had ordered Muhammad to confront Him through the journey of israk mikraj.this shows that..u should always turn to Allah if u have any problems...no matter how small or how big the problem u face, it’s Allah u should cry to..

ALLAH KNOWS BEST n HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR U…every difficulty comes from him,so does every solution…seek help from Him..

not just a journey I

2009-07-30T03:16:00.000-07:00

this time..this story is quite long..so i decided to divide it into 2 parts..

so here it goes..d 1st part..

We know that Rejab is the month of our prophet,Muhammad SAW while Syaaban is the month of Allah whereas Ramadhan is our month (the month ofthe ummah)…as u guys are very well aware,israk n mikraj took place on 27th of rejab, the journey started fromMakkah to Masjidil aqsa,n from masjidil aqsa to the 7th heavens n then back again to earth.Imagine,this whole journey of israk mikraj happenedin not just a single night,,it was less than a night!

this incident has wrecked havoc in Makkah.The people were bz “discussing” bout the incident,they thought it just didn’t make any sense,there were people @ that time were like thinking how did this guy travel from makkah to masjidil aqsa n from there up to the 7th heavens in less than a night?…just How?? have we forgotten?Allah Al-Muqtadir..Maha Berkuasa..Isn't it His will to do anything at anytime at anywhere He wants to..Kun fayakun..if He wants to make it less than a night,yeah..goahead..Allah the Almighty..He can do WUTEVER HE WILLS or He wants to do it in less than a minute..is it possible? again, Allah the Almighty..do we have to doubt that?Do we have to doubt Allah,the MOST GLORIOUS,to Him is our return.HE can do anything…

“MahaSuci Allah yang telah menjalankan hamba-Nya (Muhammad) pada malam hari dariMasjidil-Haraam (di Mekah) ke Masjidil-Aqsa (di Palestin), yang Kami berkatisekelilingnya, untuk memperlihatkan kepadanya tanda-tanda (kekuasaan dankebesaran) Kami. Sesungguhnya Allah jualah yang Maha Mendengar lagi MahaMengetahui.”(Q.S. Al-Israa’: 1).
Allah Himself had said it in the Quran..

People who think with their logic minds will not believe israk and mikraj..whereas those who believe with their faiths (aqidah)unquestionably believe israk mikraj,we ourselves are very2 aware that human minds are limited,meaning that we can only think within certain limit..Or in other words, we can only accept things that are logic nwe doubt things which are non-sense.it's people’s mind.it’s supposed to be like that,eg..i tell u..i went to Sweden by a boat and on my way i bumped into a group of ikan bilis n they were doing a belle dancing then i reached Sweden in 3 minutes only..will u buy that? nope..of coz u wont..thats y people cannot accept that israk n mikraj took about less that 1 night when they think with their human minds..but people can accept it so when they think bout it and believe it with aqidah.The non-believers of that time had a good time mocking and laughing at theProphet s.a.w and Muslims, while some Muslims had a hard time coming to termswith the story. It has been reported some even become backslidden coz theydidn’t believe..their human brains couldn’t take it

But at that time, Abu Bakar became the first Muslim who stepped out, and publicly proclaimed his trust in the word of the Prophet s.a.w, By doing it, heproved himself to a be a true Muslim, for a true Muslim believe in the Prophets.a.w and acknowledge that the mind is limited, and there are things happeningthat are beyond the human imagination…perhaps,we can be sidq and brave like him,insyaAllah.Ok..israk n mikraj took place about after 12/11/10th years of prophecy of Nabi Muhammad SAW…(theyare many opinions bout it)so..ok think…Wasn’t it after israk n mikraj,that we were obliged toperform solat?n 2 freshen up ur mind,israk n mikraj happened after 10/11/12th year s of prophecy,so wut happened during that 10/11/12 years,before israk and mikraj took place?didnt they do solat???no zakat?haji?fasting??

short dream

2009-07-30T02:38:00.000-07:00

al kisah mimpiku–here it goes.., i was still a "school student"..n i was kind of superbusy..In fact, all of the students were like busy with themselves, they were working on their science projects..n some were like in a hurry to catch something..n some were like walking fast…while the others were doing something else.The school was in a "busy" state where the students were running here and there…

and there i was heading to go to the next class..(i think so),and i was pictured in my dream, in a super rush to go somewhere(maybe to the class)..and at that time, i was walking with my friend, and i was walking real fast and..on my way before reaching the place i intended to go, all of a sudden, my hand was grabbed by someone, i turned around, and i saw the person that was holding my hand tightly was my Ustazah…and she whispered something to me..she said.. "Go and perform your solah first”~end~

that was all that i could remember.. it seems simple though, but i feel something whenever i think bout this dream…i assure u feel something too,ryto?But anyway, i am still gonna make a conclusion..

The meaning "Go and perform your solah FIRST” explains to me that no matter how super busy we get, , it doesn’t mean that we have to exclude Allah just like that. Just take 5 minutes of your time to perform your solah and then go back to your work,insyaAllah, your day will be blessed and He will make your work later on much easier for you..just 5 minutes…that’s all.And the scene(cewwah) where Ustazah was holding my hand shows that we need to always remind one and another(amar maaruf nahi munkar) coz we humans are weak and always forgetful… i hope we are and always be among the solihin…and really hope insyaAllah we will always remind each other.

"No one of you shall become a true believer until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself"
