The Beginning - Taaruf

For whatever reason, today, it feels like a good day to write and share something.
It has been a long time, 3 years in fact since I've signed in to write. Time do flies huh? May Allah swt ease our matters.

[taaruf...taaruf...taaruf]

Taaruf.

Have you ever heard of it?

"Human beings, We created you all from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Verily the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing of you.8 Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware."

In the Al-Quran in Surah Al-Hujurat, ayat 13, Allah swt tells us about it. The reason why Allah swt created human beings in forms of man and woman, of different races and different tribes and of different background, is for us to taaruf. To get to know each other, be friends, create relationship, understand each other, and respect each other.
Looking at the end of the ayat, Allah swt emphasize that, it is not about the way you look or which background that you came from, but, Allah always looked at the level of your Taqwa. It is always about whats on the inside of your heart; how afraid of you towards Allah swt, how cautious of you in making any decision, thinking of whether it is something that Allah will shower His blessings or only lead you to pave you way to Hell.  Allah is aware of your dramatic changes in your level of iman, because Allah is "عَلِيمٌ - All Knowing" and "خَبِيرٌ - All-Aware".

Taaruf is the key to understand others. Taaruf is the key to see the goodness in people. Taaruf is the key to see the potential the person has that can benefit to others. Taaruf is one of the key to a successful tarbiyyah. Taaruf...taaruf...taaruf...

If you are a murrabi, Taaruf will be your first step in making a move towards the mutarabbi's heart. A successful taaruf will make the mutarabbi share almost everything about their life. They will open up the door to their personal space, which only certain people can enter. She/He would share their joy and sadness without hesitation if the trust is built as the basis of the relationship, throughout the taaruf process.

Through taaruf, a murabbi could understand why the mutarabbi is making a certain decision, you could understand why he/she react the way he/she did.
Through taaruf, you could see how a person is being brought up, and how interesting Allah swt make you and him/her cross path with each other.
Through taaruf, a murrabi can identify the mutarabbi true potential, and how it can be used that is beneficial to the ummah.
Through Taaruf, you wouldn't be judgemental, but a murrabi will be more wise and understanding, more helpful and a great listener.
Through taaruf, a murrabi can be the best person that the murtarabbi can lean on to.
Through taaruf, they show their true colours, without having to act, without having to feel ashamed of themselves.

But how to start a good taaruf?

By asking:
"How's your iman today my dear?"

three things for many occasions ^.^,

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

when we are sad, who do we seek comfort to?
when we are in trouble, who do we seek help to?
when we are in deep..deep..deep trouble, who are there to solve it with you?
hurm... our mother? our father? sister and brother? friends? BFF (best friend forever)?
or

when u feel the jealousy of what other people have,
then, think about what Allah swt has given to you,
which others don't have.
there must be a (many) reason(s) why Allah has given u those things,
and didn't give the others~
even if Allah swt did gave those kurnia to us,
have we "bertasbih", "bertahmid" and "beristighfar"?
have we cleansed ourselves and our heart from the arrogance? kibr? the feelings of better from the others?

^.^, subhanAllah, alhamdulillah, astaghfirullah~

helps from Allah swt,
didatangkan olehNya pada waktu yg ditentukanNya,
dalam bentuk yg dikehendakiNya,

That little boy...who smiles sweetly

[kredit]
this little boy who smile sweetly ^.^,

There was a little boy,
who smile to the mosque's moneybox,
not only once,
but everytime he went there for prayers.
Until one day,
the imam saw this little boy,
it sparked the imam's curiosity.
"Why did you smile to the moneybox my little ones?"
The little boy smile again,
but this time to the imam.
"Because I have no money,
and the only thing that I have to give alms,
is by smiling~"
Isn't smiling is part of sedekah too? ^.^,

[kredit]
even giving food to a stray can is considered as sedekah/alms ^.^,

Give away,
things that you loved the most,
I'm sure you are not at loss (Qs2:267, Qs3:92).
Give away,
things that you have in excess,
while the others are at less (Qs2:261-262).
Give away,
portion of your wealth,
or make use of your good health (Qs2:272).
Give away,
smiles full of sincerity,
eventhough you are in poverty.
Give away,
knowledge that you gain (balighu anni walau an-ayah),
so that the rewards from Allah swt will be like the pouring rain.
Give away,
and continue to give away,
because Allah swt will ask you one day,
"With your wealth, your health and everything that I've given to you,
what have you done with it that brings you nor other close to Me?"

p/s why not start giving out some of your wealth to our friends, brothers and sisters in need in Palestine? Find out more through here: http://www.aqsasyarif.org.my/

I love... ^.^,

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu akbar.

Alhamdulilllah, Allah swt still gave us a chance to live. An opportunity to read, an opportunity to be in front of the laptops/iPad/whatever device that you use to read this article and an opportunity to breathe in tonnes of fresh air for free. SubhanAllah...

This time, I would like to share a little bit on what I've read from the latest issue of GenQ magazine. For this edition, family theme was being brought up, and all of the related article in it was being written amazingly well. All of which make the reader ponder back on how our relationship with our parents are.

When we are so busy with our schedule, school, classes, exams, and Everest high pile of jobs (and D&T ^.^), we often forgot that as the time passes by, it actually brought us closer and closer towards our death. We are getting older and older day by day, and maybe if Allah swt permits, we might see ourselves with grey hair, back pain, arthritis, dozens of wrinkles and many other signs of old age.

Maybe we will look like this >.<
[kredit]

Then imagine how our parents have gone through these phases of old age development. And imagine how they have waited for our existence in this world. How they have prepared it so well, to ensure that we have a good life ahead of us (well since I saw my brother and sister-in-law did it, I've got to say, it was quite a handful to handle ^.^,). And as we developed to adolescent, they have to deal with our behaviour, tantrums and ups and down, in the process of finding our own identity. And it doesn't stop there, as we grow older together with them, they've provide us with a handful of advice, guidance and ideas. All of which are being done with lots of love of a parent towards their child - all because of Allah swt.

They did all of these to make us much closer towards Allah swt, for us to become a better 'abid in front of Allah swt, and a better human being. To make us become one of those human being yang mentauhidkan Allah swt, and prostrate towards Allah swt as a humble slave in this world. No matter how they didik each and every one of us, I believe, those are their style of bringing up their child to be the best in this world and the hereafter. Isn't it? (^.^,) InsyAllah one day, when we have one of our own (yg comel2 dan soleh2 ^.^),  I believe we will understand this better.

Allah swt said in Surah Al-Isra':
"Dan Tuhan-mu telah memerintahkan supaya kamu jangan menyembah selain Dia dan hendaklah kamu membuat baik kepada ibubapamu dengan sebaik-baiknya. Jika salah seorang diantara keduanya atau kedua-duanya sampai usia lanjut dalam pemeliharaanmu, maka sekali-kali janganlah kamu mengatakan kepada keduanya perkataan "ah" dan janganlah kamu membentak mereka dan ucapkanlah kepada mereka perkataan yang mullia. Dan rendahkanlah dirimu terhadap mereka berdua dengan penuh kasih sayang dan ucapkanlah: "Wahai Tuhan-ku, kasihanilah mereka sebagaimana mereka telah mendidik aku waktu kecil"

Bukhari dan Muslim meriwayatkan dari Ibn Mas'ud r.a. beliau berkata yang bermaksud:
"Aku pernah bertanya kepada Rasulullah saw, "Apakah amalan yang paling dicintai Allah swt?, Baginda menjawab, "Solat pada waktu(utama)nya", Aku bertanya, "Kemudian apa lagi?". Baginda menjawab, "Berbakti kepada kedua orang tua", Aku bertanya"Kemudian apa lagi?", Baginda menjawab "Berjihad fi sabilillah".

Muslim meriwayatkan daripada Abu Hurairah r.a daripada Rasulullah saw bersabda yang bermaksud:
"Celakalah! Celakalah! Celakalah! Iaitu orang yang mempunyai ibubapa yang sudah tua sama ada seorang atau kedua mereka, tetapi dia tidak berhak masuk syurga, kerana dia tidak berbuat baik kepada mereka"

Muslim meriwayatkan daripada Ibn Umar r.a. bahawa Rasulullah saw bersabda yang bermaksud:
"Sesungguhnya kebaikan yang paling utama adalah seseorang memelihara hubungan baik dengan orang tuanya"

So, how was that? Al-Quran and Hadith have shown us great methods on what we should do towards our parents. Our parents have poured us with non-stop love and care that are priceless to pay back. And it is not possible to pay back! Imagine the amount of hard work that our dad need to perform to let us eat a spoon of rice. And imagine how much effort and pain that were required to feed us inside our mother's womb. Can we count it one by one? And if we are in our twenties, how much food have we gulped down for the past years? hehe...uncountable isn't it? That's only part of the love that our parents has provided us with. And remember that those love originate from Yang Maha Mencintai dan Yang Maha Mengasihi. SubhanAllah...that's how Allah swt has tarbiyyah us, in becoming a better 'abid in this world and the here after. It doesn't hurt to show our thankful towards Allah swt by saying, Alhamdulillah...

count every bits of it. can you? >.<

[kredit]

And it doesn't hurt to make continuous doa for both of our parents. Here's one that I've just learnt:
"Ya Allah swt, ampunilah kedua orang tuaku, anugerahka mereka dengan kesejahteraan. kesihatan dan tidak mudah lupa, agar mereka dapat menjalani apa yang diperintahkanMu, aku mohon perlindunganMu terhadap mereka daripada azab api neraka" amiin..

SubhanAllah, may Allah swt always showers us with His barakah for us, our parents, our entire family (and if Allah's will, future parents and family), and friends. InsyAllah..
So, before we die, make sure that we do all the things that we could to become a better son or daughter to both of our parents. Mesti Ikhlas dan tekad tau! ^.^,

its not wrong to say that you love them ^.^,
tak kirelah awak lelaki atau perempuan, awak still lagi anak mak & ayah ^.^,

approach yang berhikmah

bismillahirrahmanirrahim
wa alhamdulillah
wa astaghfirullah... ^.^,

Asif kathiran, sudah lama blog ini tidak di-update. Sesungguhnya waktu itu milik yang Maha Pencipta... semoga diberi waktu untuk kita semua lebih hampir kepada Allah swt, insyAllah...

Sebenarnya terlalu banyak yang ingin dikongsikan namun, ku masih mempunyai tanggungjawab yang masih belum selesai... prioritize! prioritize! prioritize! ^.^. InsyAllah selepas selesai, akan ku kongsikan a short story yang ummi ingin ku tulis di sini. tunggu ya~ sabar itu kan sifat seorang mukmin ^.^, mohon doanya~

Namun, dalam kesebukan ini, ingin ku kongsikan beberapa video yang sungguh mengagumkan bagiku. Video-video, yang sungguh kretif pembikinannya. Pada pendapat ku, mungkin penghasilan video-video ini adalah disebabkan situasi yang melanda anak-anak muda masa kini, dalam kemelut K-Pop, Korea (Drama, Idol, Running Man etc) Lagu-lagu cinta dsbg (erk..sebenarnya, pernah nampak yang tua pun melayan juga ^.^, peace~). hmmm... betapa banyaknya tanggungjawab kita yang masih tidak ditunaikan? Terlalu banyak madu'-madu' yang harus disantuni, dengan approach-approach yang berbeza-beza. Mungkin ini adalah salah satunya. Mari kita saksikan ^.^,

Di-adaptasi dari lagu Mr. Taxi oleh SNSD

p/s penulis dapat agak, bagi yang tidak pernah dengar akan lagu ini, akan mula search dekat youtube (atau yang pernah dengar dan ingin dengar sekali lagi~). Penulis WARNING awal-awal, betulkan niat sebelum search dekat youtube, kerana penyanyi sebenar ini SANGAT seksi! Jadi, semua (laki atau perempuan, ikhwah atau akhawat), kalau tengok, free-free dapat dosa, sebab tengok aurat derang, dan dosa-dosa lain yang sama waktu dengannya. Penulis cakap straight forward sahaja ni, sebab penulis tak nak dapat saham dosa juga~ ^.^, peace~

Di-adaptasi dari lagu Cinta Muka Buku oleh Najwa Latif

haa...bagaimana? unik kan approach mereka?

"Serulah ke jalan Tuhanmu (wahai Muhammad) dengan hikmat kebijaksanaan dan nasihat pengajaran yang baik, dan berbahaslah dengan mereka (yang engkau serukan itu) dengan cara yang lebih baik sesungguhnya Tuhanmu Dialah jua yang lebih mengetahui akan orangyang sesat dari jalanNya, dan Dialah jua yang lebih mengetahui akan orang-orang yang mendapat hidayah pertunjuk."

Kulit yang disiat-siat

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

[kredit]

There was a little boy, with genius brain and creative mind. A common item that we see lying can be made into something interesting to him. Everyday, he learn new things. Every day, he discover new things. And every day, he experiment new things. And that's where something bad happen.

He was being very creative with the aerosol can. Only to learn that there's a label at the back of the can, with a picture of fire and a small writing of "Flammable". His eyes was sparkling and his mind is working fast like an Intel i7 processor. He took those lighter from mom's kitchen and went to the back garden. ALONE. He put the can down, bathed it with some flammable oil and lit the can up into a fire. He stand a few feet backward. He was pretty disappointed at first, since there was only a normal fire surrounding the can.

And then...

KABOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!

ARGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

PANASNYAAA!!!!!!!

HOT! HOT! HOT!

The can erupted and created a huge explosion and some of those chemical and fire hit that little boy. His leg was in fire. His arms too, and not forgetting his face!

That little boy was rushed to the hospital, and receive serious treatment for a straight 2 weeks. The next day after the explosion, all of the injured areas of his body and face was swelling and under those skin, there was a pool of water, where as if it could be popped. Sadly, that's what happen. Every day, he needs to bear an extremely excruciating pain of getting the swelled area popped and the skin to be stripped off by a nurse. Since during that time, there's not much of a pain killer used, he end up bearing all those pain by screaming his heart out under his pillow.

By the time he was discharged out of the hospital, those skin area which was oftenly being stripped off was white, while the normal one was brown / his normal skin color. The color was just like an army's clothes.

But that teaches him a lesson, that this is what it feels like - being able to feel his skin stripped off with excruciating, after being burnt badly, as Allah has said in the quran:


Allah SWT berfirman di dalam al-Qur’an, yang bermaksud:
“Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang KUFUR INGKAR kepada ayat-ayat keterangan Kami, Kami akan MEMBAKAR MEREKA DI DALAM API NERAKA. Tiap-tiap kali KULIT mereka MASAK HANGUS, Kami gantikan untuk mereka KULIT yang lain supaya mereka dapat MERASA AZAB SENGSARA itu dan (ingatlah) sesungguhnya ALLAH adalah MAHA KUASA, lagi MAHA BIJAKSANA.”
(Surah an-Nisa; 56)


Why is it the skin? Why not our organ or meat? Why not the eyes or the skeleton?

Its because of the pain and the emotional distress, that it can cause.

The skin is the biggest organ of our body and contribute 16% of our total weight. And with that huge organ, it is being equipped with receptors and sensors that is very sensitive and can make us be able to feel pains.

For more explanation, I really suggests that you can read it HERE

SubhanAllah, even in the dunia we weren't be able to hold to those pain, how is it possible for us to bear those pain in the akhirat? that is much greater and much more painful that it is in the dunia. Nauzubillah, may Allah swt protect us from the hell fire, that we cannot bear to handle...

p/s here's an example of someone playing around with aerosol >> FIRE & AEROSOL = DISASTER

who's being unfair to whom?

[kredit]

 [By the time all of us were at our place, we couldn't stop frowning and make us more confuse]

Song of the day: Better Days [D-Clique]

I just feel like getting this out of my chest.


Before getting to the real story, let me tell you the background. Since I am currently involved with the project that's located at the tallest building in the country, as a muslim, we still need to perform our daily 5 times prayer. Besides the musolla located at level 13, our floor level is also being equipped with a very small musolla that could fit alhamdulillah 4-5 people at one time. Throughout these 6 months, I only been to the 13th floor, once with unnie shaqifah. Not that I don't fancy going there, but it would be better to pray together with the other team member of the same floor.

So, the 6 months continue to roll on and it has been a very pleasant experience to pray zuhur and asar together, and each of us will take turns to lead the prayer. Sometimes, the other member from the other team joined us as well and expand the crowd, but the space is still very limited. Alhamdulillah, by the time it is 1.30 pm or 4.30 pm, people will start to queue up to perform their prayer.

But today, that pleasantness turn into a heart stabbing incident. There was only 4 of us in the musolla, and as usual, we did pray together. During our pray, we realized that the door opened and closed very frequently. And with that we understand that the queue outside is rather long. Thus, after dua and salam, I headed straight for the door and leave the musolla, only to be told off by the other member from the other team to get our ourselves to the other musolla if we wanted to pray jamaah!

In silence, inside, I was --> "pppfffttt..?!"

But, I refrain myself, as even Rasulullah saw never teach us to do that.


"Why? (kenape?)" I said, with very innocent face and voice tone.
"Yeah, all of u need to go to the other surau, not this one", she replied
"But why?", still making those innocent face and voice even though I feel like gulping on a grenade.
"yeah, because you are being unfair to us!"
"why? why unfair?"
and the conversation just stop there, as she went inside the musolla, and my other team member follow me suit behind me, out from the musolla (sambil kerut2 dahi, dan terpinga2 and frowning).

I thought I was the only one, but all four of us were dumbstruck on how that feeling, way of thinking or way of talking from a muslim to another muslim was like a bulldozer of rudeness. I understand that she may need to queue up in order to perform her prayer, but with the situation of having small area to share on, couldn't you be more understanding and more patience? Is there a need to get everyone out and get the place to yourself only? Is it wrong to take turns and perform our responsibility in the best possible way with the limited resources available. Even then, is it wrong to perform our prayer together, because we wanted to get those 27x of rewards? What is the different with the situation of performing solat alone when there are another 3 people who also performing their prayers individually, and performing the prayer together in unity (all four together)? Yes! You will receive more chance of getting more reward from Allah swt! It only take around 10 - 15 mins the most, and after doa, we will get out of the musolla with discipline. None of us (the three of us) would do make up there, or taking time on wearing our hijab. We are not that kind of people ok! So, what's the need to throw those tantrum to us? =.="

May Allah swt one day open all of our hearts and become a kind person to the others. Because one day Allah swt will take our soul, and it will be questioned. I didn't say that we are any better from the others because we perform our prayer together (since I'm not dead yet, and don't even know if I have the chance to enter the jannah), but, I think it would be nice if you treat the others just like what you want the others to treat you. If they did something wrong or munkar, there's always a nice method on how to "tegur", isn't it? ^.^, may Allah swt bless us all and give us the peace that we always need every time we want to seek Allah's pleasure in our life. insyAllah...

Kambing Coklat Mega Super

Ada sebuah cerita yang cukup menarik mengenai kambing qurban yang mudah-mudahan dapat meningkatkan semangat bekorban kita pada tahun ini. Mari kita mendengar ceritanya:

Ku hentikan kereta di hujung kandang, tempat haiwan-haiwan qurban dijual. Saat pintu kereta aku dibuka, bau yang tidak enak memenuhi rongga hidungku, dan dengan spontan, aku menutupnya dengan sapu tangan. Suasana di tempat itu, sangat ramai, dan dari para penjual terlihat mereka-mereka yang hanya berkain pelekat, sehingga ibu-ibu yang bertudung seperti baru habis majlis ilmu, tidak terkecuali juga anak-anak yang ikut menemani orang tuanya melihat haiwan yang akan diqurbankan pada Aidul Adha nanti. Ini merupakan sebuah pembelajaran yang cukup baik bagi anak-anak dalam menjiwai pengorbanan Nabi Allah Ibrahim dan Nabi Ismail.

Aku masuk ke dalam kerumunan orang-orang yang sedang asyik bermuamalah memilih haiwan yang akan disembelih di saat Qurban nnati. Mata ku tertuju kepada seekor kambing coklat, yang bertanduk panjang dan saiz badannya lebih besar dari kambing-kambing di sekitarnya.

"Berapa harga kabing itu bang?" ujarku menunjuk pada kambing coklat tersebut.

"Yang coklat itu yang terbesar bang. Kambing Mega Super dua juta rupiah, tidak kurang" kata si pedagang sambil mempromosikan kammbingnya, dan tetap melaiyani calon pembeli yang lain.

"Tak boleh murah lagi ke bang?" kataku, cuba membuat rundingan/tawaran.

"Tidak kurang, tidak lebih. Sekarang harga barang-barang serba mahal", kata si pedagang,bertahan.

"Satu juta lima ratus ribu ya?", aku melakukan penawaran pertama.

"Maaf bang, terlalu murah", ujarnya selamba.

Aku berkira-kira, apakah akan terus melakukan penawaran terendah dengan harapan si pedagang akan beruban pendiriannya dengan menurunkan harga.

"Ok bang, bagaimana kalau satu juta tujuh ratus lima puluh ribu?" kataku.

"Masih terlalu murah pak", ujarnya, tetap juga dengan pendiriannya.

"Yang sedang mahalkan harga minyak bang. Kenapa kambing juga ikut naik?", ujarku berdalih mencuba melakukan penawaran termurah.

"Memanglah bang, walaupun kambing tak minum minya, tapi dia tidak mampu datang ke sini sendiri. Masih perlu untuk diangkut dengan lori bang. dan Lori bahan bakarnya bukan rumput." terang si pedagang panjang lebar.

Dalam hati aku berkata: "tegar juga pedagang satu ini. Tidak menawarkan harga selain yang sudah dikemukakannya dari awal tadi".
Pandangan aku beralik ke kambing yang lain yang lebih kecil dari si coklat tadi. Kalau harga yang lainnya cuma beza 500 ribu rupiah, bagus juga. Kebetulan selepas ke tempat penjual kambing ini, aku ingin ke bengkel kereta. Untuk mengganti tayar belakang yang sudah semakin nipis bunganya. Dengan duit lebihan membeli kambing ini, boleh juga aku gunakan untuk menambah duit yang akan dibayar bila mengganti tayar nanti. Harga tayar pun sudah mahal sekarang.

"Kalau yang belang hitam putih itu, berapa bang?" kataku kemudian.

"Kalau yang itu, Super biasa. Seekor satu juta tujuh ratus lima puluh ribu rupiah", katanya.

Belum sempat aku menawar, di sebelahku berdiri seorang atuk yang menanyakan harga kambing coklat Mega Super tadi. Meskipun pakaian yang dia pakai sudah lusuh, tetapi, wajahnya masik kelihatan segar.

"Gagah sungguh kambing tu. Berapa harganya cik?" katanya kagum.

"Dua juta tidak kurang tidak lebih tok", kata si pedagang setengah malas menjawab setelah melihat penampilan atuk ini.

"Mahal sungguh harganya", kata atuk tadi. "Boleh ditawar kan?", lanjutnya, juga mencuba untuk menawar.

"Cari kambing yang lain sajalah tuk", si pedagang terlihat semakin malas untuk melayan.

"Owh tidak encik. Saya inginkan qurban yang terbaik tahun ini. Duitku insyAllah cukup untuk membayarnya." katanya, tetap bersemangat dan seraya mengeluarkan sebuah bungkusan dari saku seluarnya. Bungkusan dari kain perca yang juga sudah lusuh itu dibukanya. Enam belas lembar wang seratus ribuan dan sembilan lembar wang lima puluh ribuan dikeluarkan dari dalamnya.

"Ini dua juta rupiah cik. Kambingnya dihantar ke rumah kan cik?", jawabnya mantap tetapi tetap juga bersahaja.

Si pedagang kambing terkejut, dan tidak terkecuali juga aku yang memperhatikannya sejak tadi. Dengan wajah masih ragu tidak percaya, si pedagang meneruma wang yang diberikan si atuk tadi, dan kemudian dihitungnya perlahan selembar demi selembar wang tersebut.

"Tuk, duitnya lebih lima puluh ribu rupiah", si pedangang menghulurkan selembar lima puluh ribuan kepada atuk tadi.

"Eh, kos penghantarannya tiada ya?", si atuk seakan-akan sudah tahu wang yang diberikannya itu sememangnya lebih.

"Dua juta sudah termasuk kos kiriman", si pedagang yang cukup jujur memberikan lima puluh ribu ke atuk tadi. "Mahu dihantar ke mana pak cik?" (tiba-tiba panggilan atuk berubah menjadi pak cik)

"Alhamdulillah, lebih lima puluh ribu ini, boleh ditabung lagi" kata si atuk sambil menerimanya. "Tolong hantar ke desa dekat itu ya. Sesampainya di belakang Masjid Baiturrahman, tanya saja rumahnya Pak Cik Sutrimo yang sudah pencen dari pegawai Pemda Pasir Mukti. InsyAllah, anak-anak di sana sudah kenal"

Setelah selesai bermuamalah, dan membayar apa yang telah disepakatinya, si atuk berjalan ke arah sebuah basikal tua yang disandarkan pada sebatang pohon pisang, tidak jauh dari kereta milikku. Perlahan ia diangkat dari sandaran, kemudian dengan kuat dikayuhnya dengan semangat. Entah persaan apa lagi yang dapat kurasakan saat iut, semuanya berbalik ke arah berlawanan dalam pandanganku. Atuk tua yang sudah pencen dari pegawai Pemda yang hanya berkenderaan sebuah basikal buruk, sanggum membeli haiwan qurban yang terbaik untuk dirinya. Aku tidak tahu berapa jumlah wang pencen yang diterimanya setiap bulan. Tetapi, yang aku tahu, di sekitar masjid Baiturrohman, tidak ada rumah yang berdiri dengan mewah. Rata-rata penduduk sekitar desa Pasir Mukti hanya petani dan para pegawai pencen yang bertahap rendah.

Yang pasti secara harta, sangatlah jauh jika dibandingkan dengan apa yang aku bisa peroleh. Yang dengannya, aku mampu membeli rumah di kawasan yang cukup mewah. Yang mampu membeli kenderaan roda empat yang harga tayarnya cukup membeli kambing Mega Super, yang mampu mempunyai hobi menunggang kereta besar dan memilikinya. Yang mampu mengumpul "raket-raket" yang hanya digunakan untuk bersukan sebanyak seminggu sekali. Yang mampu membeli haiwan Qurban dua ekor lembu sekaligus. Tapi apa yang aku fikirkan? Aku hanya ingin membeli haiwan Qurban yang jauh di bawah kemampuanku, yang harganya tidak lebih dari servis rutin keretaku. Kenderaanku di dunia fana.

Sementara untuk kenderaanku di akhirat kelak, aku berfikir seribu kali saat membelinya. Ya Allah, Engkau Maha Membolak-balikkan hati manusia. Balikkan hati hambaMu yang tidak pernah bersyukur ini ke arah orang yang sentiasa mensyukuri nikmatMu.

its not about money...money...money...

Some may feels really insecure when the figure in their bank started to depreciate, some may not even own a bank. (Tangan dkt dagu, rambut berserabut, muka masam macam cuka). Some doesn't feel anything when they bought 4-6 figure items and yet doesn't even know where to spend their money on (dagu naik tinggi-tinggi, kaki kanan atas kaki kiri, jari tapping dekat atas meja). Some are very calm, when there's people in need, they will give some money, when, they are in need, they will do their best to work for it, and ask Allah swt, who gave the rezeki to them. So, which one are we?

Today, I was very touched by the tazkirah jumaat posted on Aqsa Syarif's fb status, which wrote:

Sesungguhnya, setiap sumbangan / sedekah yang kita salurkan kepada yang memerlukan , tak kira besar atau kecil kuantitinya, akan dipandang dan dinilai oleh Allah...

Ada yang menyumbang RM1, RM 5, RM 50, bahkan ada yang menyumbang RM 1000 khas untuk qurban di Palestin.. Allahu akbar...

Merujuk pada ayat dalam gambar yang dilampirkan, manusia tidak akan mendapat hakikat kebajikan selagi tidak mengeluarkan apa yang ia sayangi...
Manusia sayangkan hartanya, tetapi jika ia infaq harta itu di jalan Allah, insya allah itulah kebajikan sebenar...

Ingat kisah dua anak Nabi Adam a.s. , yang mana seorang daripada mereka mempersembah qurban yang paling baik daripada hartanya untuk Allah, dan seorang lagi hanya ala kadar sahaja... akhirnya Allah menerima qurban yang baik itu sahaja....

Dalam ayat yang lain surah Al-Hajj, ayat 37 , maksudnya :
(Daging dan darah binatang korban atau hadiah itu tidak sekali-kali akan sampai kepada Allah, tetapi yang sampai kepadaNya ialah amal yang ikhlas yang berdasarkan taqwa dari kamu. Demikianlah Ia memudahkan binatang-binatang itu bagi kamu supaya kamu membesarkan Allah kerana mendapat nikmat petunjukNya. Dan sampaikanlah berita gembira (dengan balasan yang sebaik-baiknya) kepada orang-orang yang berusaha supaya baik amalnya)

Nah.... lihatlah... memang benar jika semakin banyak harta kita sumbangkan, semakin besar pahalanya... tetapi ingat, sumbangan walaupun sedikit, namun kerana keikhlasan hati menyumbang sesuatu yang disayangi, amalan itulah yang akan sampai pada Allah....

Akhir kata, jangan persoalkan apa Allah beri pada kita.. sebaliknya, kita persoal diri sendiri, apa yang kita telah beri demi Allah......
Wallahu a'lam... Wallahu waliyyut taufiiq...

It means, you are being tested

The poor are being tested with poverty and hunger but the rich are being tested with wealth & power. Both are test to our iman. Being rich doesnt mean Allah love you more and being poor doesnt mean that Allah has forsaken you. Is merely a test of your iman either you will still turn to Allah just like the way you turn to Allah when you are in a time of need... Only those who are strong and put their trust in Allah will be rewarded..

"And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits but give glad tidings to As-Sabirun (the patient)
[2:155]
"Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without reckoning"
[39:10]
"And verily, whosoever shows patience and forgives, that would truly be from the things recommended by Allah"
[42:43]
"And surely, We shall try you till We test those who strive hard (for the Cause of Allah) and As-Sabirun (the patient)"
[47:31]
Abu Sa'id Al Khudri reported that:
Certain people of the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and he gave them; then they again asked him until all what he possessed was exhausted. The the Prophet (pbuh) said;
"Whatever wealth I have, I will not withhold from you. Whosoever would be chaste and modest; Allah will keep him chaste and modest and whosoever would seek self sufficiency, Allah will make him self sufficient, and whosoever would be patient, Allah will give him patient and no one is granted a gift better and more comprehensive than patience"
[Sahih Bukhari & Muslim]

[172]
Dan (ingatlah wahai Muhammad) ketika Tuhanmu mengeluarkan zuriat anak-anak Adam (turun-temurun) dari (tulang) belakang mereka, dan Ia jadikan mereka saksi terhadap diri mereka sendiri, (sambil Ia bertanya dengan firmanNya): “Bukankah Aku tuhan kamu?” Mereka semua menjawab: “Benar (Engkaulah Tuhan kami), kami menjadi saksi”. Yang demikian supaya kamu tidak berkata pada hari kiamat kelak: “Sesungguhnya kami adalah lalai (tidak diberi peringatan) tentang (hakikat tauhid) ini”.

And when the promise has been made, there are no reason why we should break it... Not like the normal contract that we usually sign on paper, this contract stays with you eternally. And it is with you now and forever. Its in you, and it is in your heart, where those promise are being kept. As the verse has said, you have made this promise...and there should be no reason at all in the hereafter, saying that you forgotten all about it...

And like the other contract, there must be a timeline. A due date/end date, of which the contract ends. That date where our life ends. And where all the things that we borrowed from Allah swt, must be returned, and asked back, what have we done to the things that Allah swt has lend to us, in order to get closer to Him? 

Did we use it wrongly?

Did we use it to go against Allah's swt will?

Did we violate it? 

Did we take care of it like Allah swt has told us to?

Did we use it to get closer to Allah swt?

Did we use it to become a better 'abid?

Did we use it to call upon the others to be closer to Allah swt too?

Did we use it to do good deeds to our parents?

Did we use it to do good deeds to our siblings?

Did we use it to do good deeds to those in needs?

Did we use it to display to the others to be arrogant?

Did we use it to do anything we like and ignore whether it is right or wrong?

InsyAllah, when Allah swt give us His nikmat, it means, there are still many chances for us to take a step forward and make the right choice. To repent and to change - in becoming a better 'abid in front of Allah swt. Because its a PROMISE! and a mukmin will never break his/her promise! ^.^, --> "Bala syahidna"

p/s everyday, Allah swt has given us a tazkirah to cleanse our heart. Did you realize that? ^.^, if you didn't, then, stay still, close your eyes, and think about the things that you have gone through today... and from every events that you've been through today, look at how beautiful Allah swt has plan for us. If you look down, then you will only see the floor and its dirt, but if you look up and out the window, you will see the stars that shines so brightly... ^.^,

Amalan Menuju Syurga

Dalam sebuah hadits yang diriwayatkan oleh Ahmad dan An Nasa'i, dikisahkan
Anas bin Malik bercerita. "Pada suatu hari kami duduk dalam sebuah majelis
bersama rasulullah Saw. Dalam kesemptan itu, beliau bersabda, "Sebentar
lagi akan muncul di hadapan kalian seorang laki-laki penghuni surga.' Tak
lama berselang, muncullah laki-laki Anshar yang janggutnya basah karena air
wudhu,"kisah Anas.

Keesokan harinya, lanjut Anas, Rasulullah Saw, mangatakan hal yang sama,
"akan datang seorang laki-laki penghuni surga.' Tak lama berselang,
muncullah laki-laki yang sama pula. Demikian hal itu terjadi berulang
hingga tiga kali.

Ketika majelis Rasulullah itu selesai, rasa penasaran mendorong Abdullah
bin Amr bin Ash untuk menguntit lelaki yang disebut Rasulullah sebagai
penghuni surga itu. "Amalan gerangan apakah yang telah menghantarkannya
menjadi calon penghuni surga,"tanya Abdullah.

Sesaat bertemu muka dengan lelaki itu, Abdullah berkata,"Saya tengah
bertengkar dengan ayah saya, dan saya berjanji tak akan menemuinya selama
tiga hari. Maukah kamu memberi tempat pondokan buat saya selama itu?"

Tanpa keberatan, lelaki itu mengizinkan Abdullah tinggal di rumahnya. Namun
selama itu pula Abdullah tak menyaksikan amalan istimewa yang
diperkirakannya bisa membuat lelaki itu menjadi ahli surga. "Setelah lewat
tiga hari aku tidak melihat amalannya, sampai-sampai aku hampir
meremehkannya,"aku Abdullah.

Tak tahan dengan rasa kepenasarannya, Abdullah pun berterus terang, "Hai
hamba Allah, sebenarnya aku tidak bertengkar dengan ayahku, tapi aku
mendengar Rasulullah berkata bahwa engkau, kelak akan menjadi salah seorang
penghuni surga. Aku ingin memperhatikan amalanmu, supaya aku dapat menirunya.

Lalu orang itu berkata, "Yang aku amalkan tidak lebih daripada yang engkau
saksikan," akunya. Lelaki itu menambahkan, "Hanya saja aku tidak pernah
menyimpan rasa dengki kepada mereka atas kebaikan yang diberikan Allah
kepada mereka."

Pada kali lain, seorang sahabat Nabi bernama Abu Dujanah dikisahkan sakit
keras, sahabat yang lain pun berkunjung kepadanya. Menakjubkan, walaupun
wajahnya pucat pasi, Abu dujanah tetap memancarkan cahayanya, bahkan hingga
akhir hayatnya.

Para sahabat sempat bertanya, "Apa yang menyebabkan wajah Anda bercahaya?"
Abu Dujanah menjawab,"Pertama, aku tidak pernah berbicara tentang sesuatu
yang tidak ada manfaatnya. Kedua, aku selalu menghadapi sesama kaum Muslim
dengan hati yang bersih."

Al Qur'an menyebut kata qalbuun salim (hati yang bersih) ini ketika Allah
swt berfirman tentang suatu hari di hari kiamat, ketika tidak ada orang
yang selamat dengan harta dan kekayaannya kecuali yang membawa hati yang
bersih. "Pada hari itu tidak ada manfaatnya di hadapan Allah Swt harta
anak-anak kecuali orang yang datang dengan hati yang bersih. "(QS. 26:89)

‎"FOR THOSE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH"

What is the proof that the religion YOU are in today is not only a good but is the TRUE RELIGION that can proven without a shadow of doubt? A book from God should be free from contradiction. Look into each of the holy scripture YOU have now to look for this 2 key point where The God YOU worship claim that "I am God" and 2ndly is "Worship Me". If you cant find this 2 facts then most probably you havent look into the Quran yet.
(Mr. Firdaus, 2011)

13 ques

Pernah nasihat dan tegur kawan-kawan wanita anda yang tidak menutup aurat? Jom kita tengok apakah alasan yang selalu digunakan wanita yang enggan menutup aurat apabila ditegur kesalahan mereka itu. Dan apa jawapan yang mungkin sesuai untuk mereka:-
 
1. Semua yang tutup aurat, kompom masuk syurga ke?
-Yang pasti, tak tutup aurat, kompom masuk neraka.
 
2. Tudung labuh pun macam baik sangat. Buat dosa jugak. Mengumpat orang.
-Bila Iblis tak mahu ikut perintah Allah untuk bersujud kepada Adam, dia menyalahkan perintah Allah itu. "Apahal pulak aku kena sujud, aku lebih baik dan mulia". Samalah dengan tudung. Tudung pula yang disalahkan, " pakai tudung tak mestinya baik..bla...bla...bla..."
 
3. Macamlah kau bagus sangat nak tegur aku. Kau dulu lagi jahat nak mampos.
-Tidak tersabit larangan dari Nabi untuk seseorang yang bahkan baru masuk Islam untuk pergi berdakwah kepada kaumnya. Maksudnya, dakwah itu tuntutan. Selagi kau Islam, dakwah tu wajib walaupun kau sendiri tak berapa betul. Sekurang-kurang dia insaf dan bertaubat sekarang.
 
4. Walau kami pakai seksi tapi hati kami baik.
-Adakah kau mendakwa diri kau mempunyai hati yang suci, iman yang tinggi dan kononnya ia sudah cukup menjamin maruah diri kau tanpa perlu menutup aurat?
 
5. Pakai jarang ke ketat ke, itu hak kami. Kalau tak suka jangan tengok.
-Adakah kau berani menjamin bahawa semua lelaki ajnabi mempunyai hati suci dan iman yang tinggi untuk menahan godaan syaitan serta nafsu yang membuak-buak?
 
6. Kami rasa apa yang kami pakai tak seksi. Terpulang kepada individu yang memandang kami.
-Seksi atau tidak, kau tetap berdosa walaupun hanya menayang sehelai rambut kau.
 
7. Walau kami tak bertudung, kami tetap sembahyang dan puasa.
-Apakah ibadat kau diterima? Kau yakin cuma dengan berpuasa sudah cukup untuk menjamin kau masuk syurga?
 
8. Sukahati kamilah nak pakai macam ni. Kami tak susahkan hidup orang lain.
-Kau sebenarnya dah susahkan bapa, abang, adik, suami serta orang lain dengan menarik mereka ke neraka bersama kau disebabkan mereka tidak menegur dan gagal mendidik kau.
 
9. Apa yang kami pakai, ini antara kami dengan Tuhan.
-Berani cakap di dunia, berani ke kau cakap macam tu depan Allah nanti? Lawan perintah Allah, Neraka tempatnya.
 
10. Kami pakai seksi macam ni, sebab ikut arahan photographer/pengarah filem untuk disesuaikan dalam scene. (ayat artis)
-Sanggup patuh arahan mereka daripada patuh suruhan Allah?
 
11. Bukan kami tak mahu menutup aurat, cuma masih belum sampai seru.
-Mati tidak mengenal usia. Tak takut ke mati dalam usia muda? Tak sempat nak bertaubat nanti.
 
12. Takkan nak buat perubahan secara drastik? Slow-slow la..
-Boleh ke cakap kat Malaikat Izrail nanti, tunggu kejap! Lepak la dulu. Jangan ambil lagi nyawa aku.
 
13. Tutup aurat tu bagus tapi kami tidak mahu hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas melakukannya.
-Kalau begitu kau sebenarnya memang hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas beragama Islam.

it is scary to think that we are scared!

sometimes, it is scary to think about what we are scared of,
and sometimes it is pleasant to think about what we are scared of.

some of us are too scared of getting fat because we ate too much,
some of us are too scared of getting fired because of the work that we cannot deliver,
some of us are too scared of losing their money because it is mountain high, and people might get jealous over it,
some of us are too possesive over their stuff, that it is ok for them to let the stuff goes rotten rather than giving it to those in need,
some of us are too scared of being told off by the others becase of the wrongdoing that they've done,
some of us are too scared of the things that keep following them (in their imagination), because they've just finised watching ghost stories,
and the list can go on forever on what we are scared of, isn't it?

There is no doubt about it, that it is in a human nature that they are scared of the uncertainties, and the things that are beyond their knowledge.

Even living in this world, there are still lots of things that we are yet to find out. There are so many things to explore, there are so many things to try, experience and learn.

This situation clearly shows how small we are and how vurnerable we humans are. And yet, there are some of us who forget on who we are and where we stand in front of Allah swt.

We scare ourselves out just becuase of the uncertainties that Allah swt tested us with. when the real lesson that we should learn from these uncertainties are: when ever, what ever and anything that we face in this world, should return back to Allah swt. The ending must be towards Allah swt, the Lord where we submit ourselves to and our life to. And to make us see that we are nothing without Allah's swt protection. Nothing. Useless.

Remember surah al-falaq? Remember how Allah swt asked us to rely everything on Him? Because He is the Ultimate Protector of His creation and of His slaves?

Remember who created those makhluk? Remember who created night and day? Then, only Allah swt is able to protect us from it.

Talking about being scared, do you remember how Rasulullah saw tell us about how people akhir zaman will feel scared of dying and will feel scared of leaving this world? because of the love that they have for the world and everything inside it? Because of the feelings of wahn inside their heart? And do you also remember that Rasulullah saw also added that the kafir will not fear of the muslims because the feelings has been taken away by Allah swt from their heart because of the muslims' behaviour and love towards the world.

Aren't all of you scared? Of being scared of something else besides Allah swt?
Aren't you scared of what Allah swt will do to us?
when we are doing everything we can to create Allah's "murka" towards us.
Aren't we scared that we aren't able to feel scared of Allah swt, which cause us to do something that Allah's told us not to do?
And aren't we scared that we are unable to feel the love towards Allah swt?
when we are supposed to do so?

So, how to deal with it?

Lets see how para sahabat and Rasulullah saw deal with this.

During those time, there were so many jahiliyyah going on in Makkah. And most of them, are afraid of dying and really fight for the wealth that they could get their hands on. Even though it means, getting it with force and through the wrong method.

So, when Allah swt send down Prophet Muhammad saw as Rasul, he wakes the human up to realize the wrong doing that they have commited and the shirk that they have done towards Allah swt, by helping them to clarify their aqidah, and make them realize that the whole point of living in this world. Which is to fulfill all the mission that Allah swt has appointed every human being to perform: to become Allah's slave and fully commit their life towards Allah swt, and to become the khalifah in this world. Not just that, Allah swt also equipt us with Al-Quran and Rasulullah saw left us with his sunnah. With both of them are being fully utilized, i repeat fully utilized (where we will try our hardest to understand and "beramal" with it), insyAllah, we will lead our life as what a muslim and a mukmin should. and insyAllah, we will tend to live the life in this world as only a medium for us to reach the akhirat successfully, where we will seek of nothing except, Allah's pleasure..

Jangan jadi ayam! Jika Hidup bukan untuk Berdakwah

By. Agus Sujarwo

Jika Hidup Tidak untuk Dakwah
Terus engkau mau ngapain?

Ente pergi pagi
Dengan semangat mencari duniawi
Jika angkot macet, langsung berganti sewa taksi
Agar harta buruan tidak beralih dari sisi

Ente pulang malam
Dengan jasad yang kelelahan
Nyampe di rumah mendekam sampai pagi datang

Lupakah engkau
Rasulullah saw bagaikan rahib di malam hari
Dan menjadi singa di siang hari
Sementara kamu
Tak peduli siang tak peduli malam
Yang penting dunia dalam genggaman

Sahabat cobalah engkau renungkan
Apa sih yang ingin kugapai sampai harus membanting tulang
Apa sih yang ingin kubangun hingga pagi datang
Apa sih yang ingin kuraih hingga tubuh begitu letih

Jujur saja, untuk urusan perutmu bukan
Buat beli martabak atau nasi
Masuk perut dan kemudian raib menjadi kotoran

Jujur saja, untuk urusan rumah tempat kau tinggal bukan
Buat beli keramik, AC ataupun busa
Dinikmati, rusak, ganti lagi tak berkesudahan

Jujur saja, untuk urusan kesenangan anak-anak yang kau rindukan bukan
Buat pakaian, mainan, ataupun poster-poster idaman
Dinikmati, menghilang dari pandangan
Jangan jadikan dakwah sebagai kegiatan sampingan
Jangan jadikan dakwah sebagai hiburan
Jangan jadikan dakwah sebagai ajang gaul sesama teman
Jangan jadikan dakwah sebagai pengisi waktu luang
Jangan jadikan dakwah sebagai sarana memburu uang
Karena kelak yang kau dapatkan adalah jahanam
Sebagai balasan atas kemusyrikan yang kau jalankan

Sahabat
Jadikan dakwah sebagai ruh kalian di dunia
Jadikan dakwah sebagai rumah tinggal kalian di dunia
Jadikan dakwah sebagai tugas utama kalian di dunia
Jadikan bahwa hanya dengan dakwah diri kalian begitu bahagia
Jadikan bahwa tanpa dakwah kalian begitu menderita

Sahabat
Jalan dakwah inilah yang membedakan kita
Dengan para pendusta ayat-ayat-Nya
Dan jika engkau hidup di dunia ini tidak untuk tegakkan risalah-Nya Itu
artinya engkau pun sama dengan mereka
Yang lebih menyukai neraka ketimbang surga
Dan jika engkau hidup di dunia ini sebagai tujuan
Ingatlah bahwa tak lama lagi ruhmu bakal dicabut dari badan

Jika hidup tidak untuk dakwah
Trus ente mo ngapain?

Mau jadi ayam?
Yang pergi pagi pulang petang
Kurang petang tambahin nyampe tengah malam

Tapi masih mendingan ayam
Karena ia rutin bangun sebelum azan
Dan teriakkan lagu keindahan
Tapi kamu
Rutin subuh setengah delapan
Apalagi kalo akhir pekan
Bisa jadi subuh hengkang dari pikiran

Tapi masih mendingan ayam
Karena ia berani pilih makanan yang ia inginkan
Tapi kamu
Elo embat semua yang ada di hadapan
Tidak peduli daging, tumbuhan, ataupun batu hitam
Sementara kamu dikaruniai pikiran

Jika engkau hidup hanya untuk itu semuanya
Maka harga dirimu
Nilainya sama dengan apa yang kamu makan
Nilainya sama dengan apa yang kamu keluarkan dari perut hitam
Nilainya sama dengan apa yang kamu rindukan

Karena jasadmu tak ubahnya tembolok karung
Tempat penyimpanan semua makan yang kamu makan
Karena jasadmu tak ubahnya perekat
Tempat semua kesenangan dunia melekat

Sepekan, setahun, sewindu kau bangun sejuta pundi uang
Engkau lupa bahwa kelak yang kau bangun itu pasti kau tinggalkan
Engkau lupa bahwa tempat tinggalmu sesudahnya adalah istana masa depan

Tapi sahabat
Jika engkau hidup untuk dakwah
Tidak ada setitik harapan pun yang kelak dirugikan
Tiada seberkas amal pun yang tiada mendapat balasan

Tapi di dalamnya penuh ujian dan batu karang
Dan engkau harus yakin penuh akan janji Allah
Tapi di dalamnya tidak lekas kau dapatkan keindahan
Dan engkau harus yakin bahwa inilah jalan kebaikan

Sahabat
Janganlah terlena dengan kesenangan fana
Janganlah terlena dengan gemerlapnya dunia
Itulah yang Allah berikan sebagai hak para musyrikin di dunia
Tiada usah kamu iri dan berpikir tuk hanyut bersamanya
Karena kau tahu kehidupan mereka sesudahnya adalah neraka
Dan mereka kekal di dalamnya

Sahabat
Jangan sia-siakan hidup di dunia
Bangun rumah dakwah
Jika kau diluaskan harta, kembalikan di jalan dakwah
Jika kau diluaskan waktu, hibahkan di jalan dakwah
Jika kau diluaskan tenaga, berikan untuk lapangnya jalan dakwah
Jika kau diluaskan pikiran, gunakan untuk merenungi ayat-ayat-Nya
Jika kau diluaskan usia, maksimalkan berikan yang terbaik untuk-Nya

Q & A

Apabila bangun tidur, tanya kepada diri sendiri: “Kenapa ALLAH hidupkan aku pada hari ini?
Jawapan yang dicadangkan Imam Al-Ghazali: Kerana dosaku banyak. ALLAH izinkan aku untuk bertaubat

aigooo~ (a.k.a. sigh)

I stumbled upon this article. Alhamdulillah...

May all of you readers grasp many benefits out of it, regardless of your gender or religion.

----------------------------------------------

Kaum feminin cakap “susah jadi wanita”, mereka telah digoda dan diperdaya oleh syaitan dan hawa nafsunya sendiri, seperti yang kita lihat dialog dibawah, bagaikan mempersoalkan ketentuan Allah terhadap mereka. Dengan kata lain yang agak kasar, Allah berat ...sebelah pada kaum wanita.


Keluh...an remaja perempuan A:

“Aduh, situ tutup, sini tutup. Susah la gini. Apasal laki-laki mudah saja. Tak pakai baju pun takpe. Perempuan auratnya lagi banyak.”



Keluhan isteri A:

“Kenapa la kita para isteri ni nak keluar kena minta izin dari suami kita, padahal suami kita nak keluar kemana-mana pun tak bagitau kita takpe pulak.”


Keluhan remaja perempuan B:

“Jika kita ikut faraid dalam hal pusaka, rugilah kita. Sebab bahagian harta pusaka perempuan lagi sedikit berbanding harta yang anak lelaki dapat. Kami mahu keadilan!”


Keluhan isteri B:

“Kenapa Allah jadikan wanita mengandung dan rasa sakitnya nak melahirkan anak. Suami kita rileks saja? Masa buat anak carilah kita, masa nak beranak kita tanggung sendiri!”


Keluhan isteri C:

“Islam kata kita perempuan wajib taat pada suami, tapi ada Islam cakap suami perlu taat pada isterinya? Mana keadilan pada kaum hawa?”


Keluhan isteri D:

“Bila nak cerai je, suami yang boleh jatuhkan talak. Kenapa isteri tak bolek ceraikan suaminya? Kenapa?”


Keluhan remaja perempuan C:

“Wanita takleh nak beribadat macam lelaki, sebab bila kita ada haid dan nifas, takleh nak solat dan puasa. Ingat perempuan ni suka ke tak solat dan puasa?”.


Dan kemudian datanglah pertubuhan dan organisasi yang membela kaum wanita, dan menuntut hak samarata antara gender, mengekploitasi fahaman wanita yang terjejas akidahnya dek kerana disogok pertanyaan. Kaum lelaki pula cakap, “Ah, mujur aku ni lelaki!”


Tunggu..! Istigfarlah pada wanita yang ada perasaan seperti di atas. Mujur ada seorang lelaki yang bukanlah seorang ustaz namun amat yakin bahawa Allah itu Maha Adil. Dia tidak mampu menuturkan sabda Rasulullah s.a.w dan petikan dari ayat Al-Quran, namun dengan keimanan dan ilmu sedikit yang dia ada ,diolah sebaiknya untuk menjawab soalan-soalan melampau itu.


Lelaki beriman menjawab keluhan remaja perempuan A:

“Cik adik, Islam lah yang mengangkat aurat wanita. Benda yang mahal harganya akan dijaga dan dibelai serta disimpan ditempat yang teraman dan terbaik. Awak ada emas dan permata, adakah awak nak letak terdedah ditepi laluan lalu lalang atau disimpan dirumah agar tiada siapa melihat perhiasan itu? Ok, jika awak letakkan perhiasan tadi dikalangan orang, agaknya apa akan jadi dengan barang perhiasan tadi? Lelaki, yang utama hanyalah bawah pusat ke lutut tapi awak? Saya tidak dapat melihat kulit anda pun kecuali muka dan tangan! Awak tak mungkin akan terangsang nafsu tengok saya hanya berseluar pendek ke lutut kan? Tapi kalau sebaliknya, jangankan saya, tapi tok imam pun akan tercabut serbannya jika tengok awak pakai hanya seluar pendek!”



Lelaki beriman menjawab keluhan isteri A:

“Ok, isteri perlu taat pada suami. Jadi, lelaki apa? Suami perlu wajib taat juga kepada ibunya tiga kali lebih utama dari ayahnya, walaupun dia sudah berkeluarga. Isteri tidak perlu lagi, taatnya hanya pada suami. Kenapa awak perlu taat pada suami? Kerana suami kalian lah yang menanggung dosa yang kalian lakukan!”


Lelaki beriman menjawab keluhan remaja perempuan B:

“Betul ke wanita menerima warisan pusaka lagi sedikit daripada lelaki? Tapi kan, harta itu memang hak untuk wanita itu dan dia berhak lakukan apa saja yang dia mahu. Shh.. jangan kongsi dengan sape-sape walaupun suami. Tak kesian pada lelaki ke, dia perlu membahagikan harta pusaka itu kepada isteri dan anak-anaknya. Kalau isteri dia ramai, anak dia ramai, harta pulak secebis, tak merasa lah jawabnya!”


Lelaki beriman menjawab Keluhan isteri B:

“Tahniah la sebab awak dapat mengandung dan melahirkan. Setiap kali awak begitu, wanita itu didoakan oleh sekalian makhluk dan malaikat! Beruntungnya awak! Andaikan awak meninggal pula masa beranak tu, percayalah… itu mati syahid dan ganjarannya syurga. Ya, syurga menanti awak malah beranak 15 kali pun sihat sampai ke tua! Sebab tu tak ramai orang wanita meninggal masa melahirkan !”


Lelaki beriman menjawab Keluhan isteri C:

“Akhirat nanti, saya dan lelaki lain didunia ini akan diminta bertanggungjawab keatas empat jenis wanita. Siapa? Mereka ialah isteri saya, ibu saya, anak perempuan saya dan adik perempuan saya. Tahu maksudnya? Awak nanti di akhirat, awak akan dibantu oleh empat lelaki! Siapa mereka? Mereka ialah suami, ayah, adik atau abang malah anak lelaki awak!”


Lelaki beriman menjawab Keluhan remaja perempuan C:

“Nak beribadat macam lelaki? Ingat mudah ke nak dapat syurga? Sedarlah, awak sebagai wanita boleh masuk sebarang pintu syurga yang awak sukai. Ya, dah la syurga, ada pilihan pula hanya dengan empat cara. Apa itu? Solat lima waktu, berpuasa bulan Ramadhan, menjaga kehormatan dan tahu apa satu lagi? Taat pada suami awak. Itu saja asasnya!”


Lelaki beriman menjawab Keluhan isteri D:

“Saya, seorang lelaki wajib berjihad fisabilillah. Awak, seorang wanita jika taat akan suaminya,dan menunaikan tanggungjawabnya kepada Allah, maka awak akan turut menerima pahala setara seperti pahala orang pergi berjihad fisabilillah tanpa perlu mengangkat senjata!”


Lelaki beriman bertanya:

“Sebenarnya, apa lagi yang awak mahu, wahai kaum hawa?”


Namun, wanita-wanita tadi menangis dan salah seorangnya berkata;

“MasyaAllah, sayangnya Allah pada wanita, namun kami sendiri yang mengheret diri ke neraka yang mana ramainya kaum kami berbanding kaum lelaki!”


Demikianlah dialog wanita-wanita yang curiga itu dengan seorang lelaki biasa namun beriman.


Musuh Islam tidak akan berhenti melakukan segala upaya, sampai kita ikut dan tunduk kepada cara-cara dan peraturan yang dipromosikan dan diperjuangkan mereka.


Allah, yang menciptakan kita, maka sudah pasti Dia yang Maha Tahu pada manusia, sehingga segala hukumNya malah peraturanNya, tentulah yang terbaik bagi manusia dibandingkan dengan segala peraturan yang dicipta manusia.


Wahai lelaki, jagalah isterimu kerana dia perhiasan, pakaian dan ladangmu, sebagaimana Rasulullah s.a.w pernah mengajarkan agar kaum lelaki berbuat baik selalu (lembut) terhadap isteri anda sekalian.


Berbahagialah wahai para muslimah. Tunaikan dan menegakkan agamamu, nescaya syurga menanti...

Wanita cantik, melukis kekuatan pada masalahnya Dia tersenyum saat tertekan Tertawa di saat hati sedang menangis Memberkati di saat terhina.. Dan mempesona kerana memaafkan Wanita cantik, mengasihi tanpa marah Dan bertambah kuat dalam doa dan pengharapan SubhanAllah.... Hari ini ku bimbangi jika terakhir hidup Adakah lagi subuh esok... Untuk ku bernafas dan sujud mengabdi pada-Mu Berikan daku kesempatan menebus kesalahan Lantaran dosa dan noda krn sengaja melupakanMu Hadirkan damai sebelum di hujung nafasku Rahmat kasihMu Tuhan ampunan-Mu ku damba.." "Ya muqollibal qulub tsabbit qolbi ‘alad dinika wa ‘ala tho’atika"

why can't I get those?

Human and their endless desires~



It is true isn't it that we keep adding stuff to our wish list. If counted from the day we were born, I think the list can be few thousand of lines. Especially for girls/women, it is a norm and a habit to add new stuff to the list and make the list longer that it is when some stuffs really capture their hearts. For those girls (boys too), they may work really hard and make a huge effort in getting those stuffs and make thir wish come true. Some may become a success, but others may lead to failure and other fatal damage.

However, this may sound negative at first, but it is not a sin if this habits are being channeled correctly, it can be one of the most positive features a human can have. However, this is not the main point that I wanted to share with all of you readers in this post. I would like to tell you a story.

In the heart of a busy city, there lived a family with 5 childern. The mother is currently pregnant with her 6th child. With little house to support all 7 people under one small roof, it could be quite full sometimes. The boys usually spend their night sleeping at the hall, while the only girl in the family stayed inside the 2nd room (yep, there's only 2 rooms inside the house). Its a tight squeeze, but throughout their life, it has never occured to them that it is something to be sad about. Instead, they are more happy than those family with bigger house and better cars. More importantly, in those condition, they have become more thankful towards Allah swt. They are more thankful to the fact that there are less burden that they need to carry when they meet Allah swt, since the questioning will be less when it comes to the possession that they have. As I tell you guys before, they have 5 kids so far, with the 6th is still growing confortably inside her/his mother's womb. With 5 kids, the challenge to raise them up with proper education of both academically and islamic knowledge can become a huge challenge. There were times when the parents were both worried with their baheviours, attitudes, habits and personality. Until to extent where the mother took a giant leap of quitting her job, with the intention of properly educating her kids before further damage are being done to her kids. This is so touching to me, and make me realize how those lists of her desire are being cut down to 1/4, with most of the wish left in her list is just to educate her children to be smart like ... And islamically successful like ... I wouldn't say the name, but when I heard about it, it feels like my heart being squeeze tight and my eyes becomes all teary. The mother was willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah swt and for a better future of her children to face Allah swt in the akhirah. SubhanAllah. And because of that decision, Allah swt granted one of her wish. The 5th brother was the most heartwarmingly friendly and listen well to her mother. A very bright child. He doesn't speak much, but he's the apple of his mother's eye. Alhamdulillah...

From this story, I would like all of you readers to pause for a while, and look around you. Think about those people that you know, and those relatives that you have. Some of them may look ok at the outside, but sometimes they may have difficulties in their life, but we never really pause a while in order to help them. Do whatever you can to give help to them, and may Allah swt bless us with everything that we give for the sake of His pleasure. Read at the story again and learn from it. Be thankful for what you have and help the others who's in need. Sometimes we feel that you are the most fortunate people in this world, but this is only a test from Allah swt. To see whether we are thankful or betray everything that Allah swt has given to us. Some of us may think that we are so unfortunate, but realize this: Allah swt only give us what we need, not always what we want. So, be thankful for every needs that Allah swt has fulfilled for us...
Alhamdulillah...
