Ramadhan Datang Lagi !!

Salam Ramadhan 1434 H :)

Maksud hadis :

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, telah diwajibkan ke atas kamu berpuasa, sepertimana telah diwajibkan kepada orang-orang sebelum kamu, mudah-mudahan kamu bertaqwa” [al-Baqarah 2:183] 

  Alhamdulillah3x .. Today is the first day semua umat di seluruh dunia berpuasa. Moga puasa kita tahun ini lebih baik daripada sebelum ni dan semoga amal ibadat kita dapat lakukan seikhlas mungkin, InsyaAllah. Jom tinggalkan perkara yang sia-sia dan amalkan perkara yang bermanfaat ;)
Selamat beramal . :)

Ramadhan Kareem
 

Nisfu Sya'aban

Bulan Sya’aban ?

Ada apa dengan bulan Sya’aban ?

Apa yang istimewa di dalam bulan ini ?

Bulan Sya’aban merupakan bulan yang ke-lapan di dalam kalendar Taqwim Hijri. Seperti diketahui umum apabila tiba bulan Sya’aban ini, terkandunglah malam yang dikenali sebagai nisfu Sya’aban. Persoalannya adalah, apakah nisfu Sya’aban itu?

Nisfu membawa makna setengah, maka Nisfu Sya’aban ini berlaku pada malam kelima belas bulan Sya’aban. Mengikut tradisi Islam, baginda Rasulullah S.A.W. berkata yang malam ini Allah akan mengumpulkan buku amalan yang lama dan menggantikan dengan yang baru bagi tahun yang akan datang.

Rasulullah S.A.W. juga menggalakkan kita meningkat amalan seperti perbanyakkan berpuasa, membaca Al-Quran dan juga ibadah-ibadah lain. Semoga bulan Sya'aban pada kali ini memberi lebih makna kepada kita berbanding tahun-tahun yang sudah lepas.

Selamat Beramal ;)

Muwasafat Tarbiyyah

Ya ALLAH, bantulah kami untuk memperbaiki diri.. Amin :')

Harga Sebuah Cinta

Pernah, satu masa, seorang Badwi menjadi mulia. Sang Nabi S.A.W. mengagih-agih harta rampasan perang dan Sang Badwi itu menolaknya. Katanya, aku tidak berjuang untuk semua emas dan perak. Jerihnya bukan untuk disanjung, susahnya bukan mahu didokong.
Sambil menunjukkan ke lehernya, katanya, "Aku hanya berjuang agar anak panah musuh dibenam dalam tengkukku ini, duhai Rasulullah."
Jelas. Tegas. Ikhlas.
Jawab Rasulullah S.A.W, "Kalau itu yang kamu mahu, moga Allah sampaikan hasratmu."
Kemudian terjadilah lagi peperangan. Berjuanglah para Mukmin mencari syahid, mencari syurga tertinggi langit. Syahadah, yang menjadi janji dengan Allah kini ternampak kesannya. Di medan tarung itu menjadi ramailah manusia yang percaya dan memuncak cintanya.
Seusai jihad, Muslimin mencari Sang Badwi. Ternyatalah telah tembus anak panah musuh di tengkuknya. Badwi telah syahid, terjumpa syurga tertinggi langit. Manusia-manusia yang tercelup dengan celupan Allah itu luar biasa.
Cintanya mendasar dalam dan rindunya memusat dendam. Dia bercinta dengan Tuhan, dan cintanya sangat dahsyat. Merasakan kebersamaan Allah dalam setiap inci kehidupannya, dan merindui Allah pada waktu lupanya. Di saat-saat susah dia mencari Allah. Pada waktu-waktu bahagia dia memuji Yang Maha Kaya.
Firman-firman Allah S.W.T, penguasa sekalian manusia,

“Celupan Allah yakni agama Islam, dan siapakah yang lebih baik celupannya daripada Allah? Dan kepada-Nya kami menyembah.” (Al-Baqarah:138)

"Dan di antara manusia yang menyembah Tuhan selain daripada Allah, mereka mencintainya, memuja dan mentaatinya sebagaimana mereka mencintai Allah. Adapun orang-orang yang beriman itu sangat besar cinta mereka kepada Allah. Dan kalaulah orang-orang yang melakukan kezaliman (syirik) itu mengetahui ketika mereka melihat azab pada hari akhirat kelak, bahawa sesungguhnya kekuatan dan kekuasaan itu semuanya milik Allah, dan bahawa Allah sangat berat azab seksa-Nya, (nescaya mereka tidak melakukan kezaliman itu)." (Al-Baqarah:165)

Dan menjadi resam, setiap yang bercinta itu berkorban. Kau sudah tahu cerita Taj Mahal dan Shah Jahan. Kini aku mahu berkisah tentang seorang sahabat namanya Mus'ab bin Umair. Sebelum Islam, beliau pembuat hati menjadi cair. Terlalu tampannya Mus'ab, sehingga para gadis tergila-gilakannya. Popular. Kaya. Dia yang paling ideal, paling sempurna.
Setelah beliau memeluk Islam, beliau syahid di medan Uhud. Saat dia mahu dikapankan, kainnya tidak cukup panjang. Ditutup kepalanya terdedah kaki. Ditutup kaki terdedah kepala. Lantas ditutup kepalanya dan diambil daun-daun kering untuk menutup kakinya.
Itu harganya cinta, teman. Cinta untuk Tuhan. Oh, apa sahaja yang sanggup aku dan kau korbankan? Bila pula kali terakhir aku dan kau meredam cinta-cinta yang memberhala di jiwa, selain cinta dengan Allah? Ujar para pentafsir, celupan Allah itu agama.
Ayuh, kita beragama. Menjaga solat yang lima. Istiqamah dalam membaca al-Quran. Khusyuk dalam rukuk. Menghamba di dalam sujud. Membasah lidah dengan zikrullah. Mencari teman-teman pengingat Allah. Menjadi sibuk dengan kuliah-kuliah. Berdoa, penuh mendesah. Tahajjud, menghapus salah. Dalam jutaan warna yang boleh kau corakkan jiwamu, warnakanlah dengan celupan Allah Yang Satu. Moga akhirnya mati sebagai pemenang. ;)

The Tree Symbol In Islam

Islam has set forth the roots of its founding, the righteous path that will lead man to find what will calm his heart and mind. The path that will takes man to a new different level of self. Which will brings him to new kind of views and perspectives. People who has taken Al Quran and Sunnah as their guidance, may prosper in life and find peace in their heart.
To establish man's faith in Islam, man's first mission is to plan a tree and set the root or foundation so strong that any obstacle that may set forth, he will still stand and be strong. Here, the root of tree may refer to man's aqidah and man's knowledge in life. These is the main foundation to set man to a true and guided path where God has already laid them.
In general, as you probably already know, Iman is referred to as a root of tree and Islam as its trunk/branches while akhlaq referred to the fruits/flower. Same goes to parable which Muslim can be preferred to as a tree, the tree of Islam.
Ibn 'Umar reported: "The Prophet pbuh said:

"There is a kind of tree whose leaves do not fall and it is like the Muslim. Tell me what it is.' The people mentioned different kind of desert trees ... and I said to myself, 'It is the date palm tree,' but I felt too shy to speak up. Then the people said, 'Tell us what it is, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'It is the date palm tree.".
(AlBukhari, 60)

This is the tree to which Allah likens the believer because it is good in all aspects, it is lasting and it offers different kind of benefit.
Islam and Muslims had been up until the middle of the 18th century like a magnificent tree, with strong branches and verdant twigs, glowing with vigor, freshness and splendour, and bearing with abundance the most scrumptious of fruits.
Now we have passed the ages where the trees were used to be full of good branches and delicious fruits on its twig. Muslim nowadays are just normal man that has no direction, their path to glory have slowed down little by little. Let's face it, population of Muslim in the world is nearly two billion people as of today. Our brothers in Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Thailand and many more are suffering because of the violence that other people created. Probably because of hatred. Nevertheless, let me ask this one question. Out of two billions of Muslim, how many of us are in straight path?
How many of us wishes to see the glory of Islam once again? How many of us wishes to participate in it?
 
Hearts of people are different in many ways, maybe in real life they're good to one another, but at the back? they're backbiting and many more. These people who has this sorts of murkiness in their heart are people who don't like to see other people moving on. Moving towards the right direction.
If we were to unite as one, one ummah, we have created a strong base, a strong foundation to fight these people who has the hatred against Islam in their heart and to those who are astray. These line (ummah) are the trees combined that could set a barrier that will stop and prevent all the bad and awful stuff that has been happening to our brothers and the religion itself.
Please keep in mind, to have a strong base or foundation, we need to remember the roots of Islam is Iman and good akhlaq, without it, the structure of the tree is merely nothing. Easy to crumble when facing the enemy.
Trees (Islam) can give man a huge and valuable lesson about life. Man relied heavily on the structural lesson of the tree. However we choose to ignore. Ignore the fact that, trees lived longer than man and has seen and experience the nature of human and also earth. Other than that, same goes to a Muslim, Muslim can really and eventually change the world with their knowledge guided by the Quran and Sunnah.

"Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?. It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord. And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will be reminded."
(Surah Ibrahim Verses 24-25)

Principles and values, spiritual and moral development is the strong roots in the Muslim community. While the Muslim communities are encourage to face challenges and changes of life independently like a tree branches that grow so well independently until lifted high into the sky.
We must overcome the challenges and any changes that might effect our minds to be a good Muslim in the future. We must rely on Allah in any problems that we faced. Also not to forget, to use Al Quran and Sunnah as the source of guidance. Wallahualam.
