Bahasa Arab adalah Bahasa Syurga?

Diriwayatkan oleh at-Tabrani di dalam al-Awsat dari Abu Hurairah r.a berkata bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w telah bersabda: “Aku adalah orang Arab, al-Quran adalah berbahasa Arab dan bahasa ahli syurga adalah bahasa Arab”. Al-Albani menyebut di dalam Silsilah al-Do’iefah no. 161 bahawa hadith ini adalah palsu. 

From the Quran and Sunnah, there is only one hadith above that say that the language of the people of paradise is Arabic. but it has been classified as false by Sheikh Al Albani.

My Opinion

Regardless of whatever language is used in heaven, it is not of our concern as we should be concern of trying our best to enter Jannah by doing more deeds solely for Allah. and if really it is Arabic that is going to be used, Allah can just simply make everyone can speak Arabic. but it is an added advantage for one to learn Arab as it is a tool for the person to understand the Quran and Hadith in more advance stage.

Purpose of Life

People everywhere are asking the questions; "What is the purpose of life?" and "Why are we here?"

Some will answer that we are on this earth just to live a happy life. Some have other answers.

Islam is a perfect religion and it provide a clear and concise answers for all questions.

Regarding what is the purpose of life in Islam,

Allah states in the Quran that He created man to be His Khalefah, His trustee on earth (Quran 2:30). Mankind’s basic trust, our responsibility, is to believe in and worship Allah:

  And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me (Quran, 51:56-58)

The statement is very simple, but yet how many of us worship Allah ? Therefore, Allah has sent Messengers to human from time to time to deliver the message of Allah. The essence of Allah’s message through all of the prophets which include (Adam, Abraham, Noah, David, Moses, Jesus and also the final messenger Muhammad, May Allah have peace on all of them) was:  O mankind, worship Allah, you have no deity other than Him. (Quran, 7:59,65,73,85; Also 11:50,61,84; and 23:23,32).  

But the question now is : How do we worship Allah if we Don’t know Him ?

Allah have give a very clear answer on this which is from the Surah Al Ikhlas (Sincerity) :

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (112:1-4)

Also, Allah has to tell us how He wants to be worshipped, which He does in the Quran. He also tells us in the Quran that all Prophets came with the same identical message to their people - that is to believe in Allah and to worship Him. He also tells us in the Quran that all the people of other religions have deviated from the original teachings of their prophets. This is due to two reasons. The first is that earlier scriptures were not preserved simply because of the absence or scarcity of writing paper and so the teachings were transmitted orally and with time became distorted. The second reason is because the clergy of various religions introduced doctrines that were never there 

Because of the changes that crept into earlier religions, Allah tells us that He sent the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the final messenger and guidance to mankind with a scripture that He promised would be preserved forever. Allah provides a test to prove that the Quran is from Him. Allah says:

 Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? (i.e. its meanings and its objective) If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction. (Quran, 4:82)

The Quran is available for scrutiny and investigation by any person to try to find even one error or contradiction in it. In fact this test must be applied to any other scripture that claims it is the word of God.

Tugas & Sikap Rakyat terhadap pemerintah muslim menurut manhaj Salafi

Ada dua tanggungjawab terhadap pemimpin yang perlu ditunaikan oleh rakyat.

Pertama : Taat. 

Perintah mentaati pemerintah amat jelas dalam Al Quran dan Hadis-Hadis yang sahih.

Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, taatlah kamu kepada Allah dan taatlah kamu kepada Rasulullah dan kepada "Ulil-Amri" (orang-orang yang berkuasa) dari kalangan kamu. Kemudian jika kamu berbantah-bantah (berselisihan) dalam sesuatu perkara, maka hendaklah kamu mengembalikannya kepada (Kitab) Allah (Al-Quran) dan (Sunnah) RasulNya - jika kamu benar beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat. Yang demikian adalah lebih baik (bagi kamu), dan lebih elok pula kesudahannya.  (An Nisaa : 59)

Sabda Nabi s.a.w :

Maksudnya : "Wajib atas kamu dengar dan taat dalam keadaan susah dan senang, rela dan terpaksa dan dalam keadaan yang merugikan kamu" (Muslim)

Kata Imam al Nawawi:

Maksudnya: Berkata para Ulama: Maknanya adalah WAJIB mentaati pemerintah dalam perkara yang sukar dan dibenci jiwa dan selainnya selama mana ianya bukan maksiat jika ianya maksiat maka tidak ada taat seperti mana yang dinyatakan dalam hadis-hadis yang lain (Sharah Sahih Muslim, 12/224)

Perintah seorang pemerintah itu dapat dibahagikan kepada 3 jenis:

1. Apa yang Allah dan RasulNya perintahkan seperti solat berjemaah, menutup aurat. Hukumnya Wajib ikut.

2. Apa yang Allah dan RasulNya larang seperti dedahkan aurat, isbal pakaian. Hukumnya Haram taat.

3. Apa yang tiada nas syarak sama ada suruhan atau tegahan bahkan ianya adalah atas maslahah dan mafsadah seperti peraturan-peraturan jalan raya. Hukumnya Wajib taat.

(Risalah Taat Wulatil Umur(himpunan fatwa Ibn Baz & Ibn Usaimin berkenaan Taat pemerintah) edaran kerajaan Arab Saudi)


Walaupun haram mentaati perintah maksiat itu namun Haram juga memberontak kepada pemerintah dan memeranginya selama mana dia tidak menjadi kafir. 


Daripada Ummu Salamah rh bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda:

"Sesungguhnya akan memerintah kamu nanti pemerintah-pemerintah, maka (ada perbuatan mereka) yang kamu setujui dan ada yang kamu ingkar, maka sesiapa yang membenci (maksiat yang mereka lakukan) dia telah terlepas (daripada azab), sesiapa yang mengingkarinya dia selamat, tetapi sesiapa yang reda dan mengikut (maka dia termasuk orang yang bersubahat)". Mereka (sahabat) berkata: Apa tidak patutkah kami memerangi mereka (pemerintah) ? Jawab baginda : Tidak boleh selagi mereka bersolat. (Hadis Muslim, Abu Daud, Al Tarmizi dan lafaz pada Muslim)

Kedua : Al-Nusrah (Pertolongan)

Wajib membantu pemerintah dalam perkara makruf dan mencegah mungkar. Jika pemerintah menyeru kepada jihad, maka Wajib menyahut seruan beliau.

Sabda Nabi s.a.w :

Sesungguhnya imam itu adalah perisai diperangi dibelakangnya dan dijadikan perlindungan, maka jika dia (Imam) menyuruh dengan Taqwa kepada Allah azza wa jalla dan berlaku adil maka ianya merupakan pahala baginya dan jika dia menyuruh dengan sebaliknya maka ia menjadi dosa atasnya ( Bukhari dan Muslim )

Sedikit pendapat mengenai kursus pra perkahwinan

Salam kepada semua,

Di sini ingin saya mencadangkan sesuatu yang mungkin sesetengah pihak rasa tidak perlu ataupun menyusahkan dan mungkin sesetengah pihak rasa perlu.

Saya rasa kebanyakan orang telah mengetahui bahawa statistik kes cerai di antara muslim adalah sangat tinggi dan membimbangkan. sebab itu salah satu inisiatif yang diambil oleh PAS adalah memberi pakej percutian kepada pasangan yang hendak bercerai. Bagi saya ini merupakan satu inisiatif yang sangat baik. Akan tetapi, saya berpendapat inisiatif tersebut tidak menyelesaikan punca masalah. Kebanyakan pasangan yang hendak cerai akan melaluikan kaunseling untuk menyelamatkan perkahwinan tersebut. Bagi pendapat saya, punca masalah sesebuah perkahwinan adalah sebab ilmu dan akidah kedua-dua pasangan tersebut.

Maka langkah pencegahan sepatutnya diambil sebelum perkahwinan iaitu kursus pra perkahwinan. Setahu saya kebanayakan kursus pra perkahwinan adalah dalam tempoh 2 ataupun 3 hari. Soalan saya ialah: Adakah kursus 3 hari cukup untuk menyediakan sesebuah pasangan untuk alam perkahwinan?

Oleh itu, saya mencadangkan supaya kursus pra perkahwinan dibuat sekurang-kurangnya 3 hingga 4 bulan ataupun lebih. Sebabnya adalah seperti berikut :

1. Sekiranya sesebuah pasangan yang sememangnya tidak menitikberatkan agama, kursus pra perkahwinan yang sebenarnya adalah langkah terakhir untuk memantapkan akidah mereka dan juga melahirkan generasi muslim yang baik sebelum mereka ada zuriat. Sebab akidah seseorang anak adalah bergantung kepada kedua ibubapanya.

2. Kursus selama 3 hingga 4 bulan dapat mengajar dengan lebih mendalam untuk setiap topik yang hendak disampaikan.

Manakala untuk cadangan topik adalah seperti berikut:

1. Pemantapan akidah

2. Kelas Iqra untuk yang tidak tahu baca Quran dan Kelas tajwid untuk yang tidak bagus dalam tajwid.

3. Tanggungjawab seorang suami dan isteri

Kursus ini boleh dikecualikan untuk sesetengah orang yang sememangnya mengamalkan Islam dengan baik. Akan tetapi biarlah ia melalui ujian untuk menentukan samada orang tersebut mempunyai ilmu yang cukup bagi membimbing sesebuah keluarga.

Kursus ini juga tidak semestinya dijalankan serentak, ia boleh diadakan setiap Sabtu dan Ahad. Ini adalah untuk memudahkan orang yang bekerja bagi hadir untuk kursus ini. Daripada situlah sebenarnya kursus tersebut tidak memerlukan kos dan tenaga pengajar boleh diambil dari tenaga pengajar masjid ataupun surau yang sememangnya pakar dalam bidang tersebut.

Mungkin sesetengah orang akan cakap bahawa kursus ini menyusahkan. Akan tetapi fikirlah, sekiranya kita tidak mampu memikul tanggungjawab untuk belajar agama untuk 3 hingga 4 bulan, adakah kita mampu untuk memikul tanggungjawab dalam perkahwinan ?

Akhir sekali, sekiranya ada cadangan boleh cadangkan , sesungguhnya saya tidaklah sempurna dan sentiasa memerlukan teguran.

The Syahadah

In the name of Allah most gracious, most merciful.

Last sunday, I attended one lecture in Al Khaadem. Here is just a brief of what i remember and take note from the lecture.

In Islam we believe that all the prophets are send by Allah s.w.t and all of them came with one message. The message is to worship none but Allah and the only religion besides Allah is Islam.

Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam) (Al Baqarah :136)

 The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will) (Al Imran :19)

We know that All muslim will recite the shahadah a lot of times in their life. But how many of us actually know what is the meaning and also implication of it? How many of us know what is the implicaiton of it? and how many of us know what is the condition in becoming a muslim.

To become a muslim / the condition in reciting the shahadah, one must have the following :

1. Knowledge : This is the knowledge of knowing what the testimonial (shahadah) entails. In simple, we need to know what is the meaning of the shahadah.

2. Certainty : Certainty of the truth of the testimony. In simple, we need to be sure of the truth of the testimony.

3. Acceptance : Accept the testimonial not only with tougue but also with the heart. As a muslim, we have to accept all that we know which is from pure source. This is because once we have prove that it is from pure source, we have to abide by it as Allah has ask us to enter/follow Islam teaching completely. Pharoh is very certain that prophet Musa a.s is a messenger of Allah but he rejected him.

4. Submission and compliances : Do everything that Allah and the prophet ask to do. After we have accept by tougue and heart the truth, we have to submit to it through doing it. It is true that every one will commit sin, but true believers will recognize that they have done a sin and repent after doing it. It is different from people who have done sin but yet still feel it is not wrong.

5. Truthfullness : When the person recite the shahadah, it has to be sincere and truthfully from the heart. There should be totally no force and also not because of any benefit that we can get after reciting the shahadah. There should be no compulsion at all in reciting the shahadah as Allah has already stated in the Quran :

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (Al Baqarah :256)

6. Purity : We say the shahadah purely for the sake of Allah.

7. Love : When we recite the shahadah, we love the shahadah, we love the implication of it, and we love the people who do what Allah ask to do.

8. Denying other object beside Allah : If we have notice this, when we recite the shahadah, Allah has actually instruct to us to deny worshipping other before bear witness in worshipping him.

I bear witness that there is none worthy of woship : Denying part

9. Adhere to the testimonial until die : As a muslim we should always try our best to adhere to this testimonial until we die. This is because we may not know whether we will die as a muslim or not. None can guarantee that he/she will die as a muslim whether he/she is a born muslim / revert / non muslim. All things that happen is because of Allah's will and not our will.

A kind reminder to all : Dont simple judge a person faith when we ourself is not even guarantee to die as a muslim.

Question to all : A normal muslim who will perform their 5 times solat will at least recite the shahadah 9 times in a day. The question is how many times that we actually fullfill all the 9 conditions when we recite the shahadah ? 

Allah knows best.

Life is a test

In life from time to time, we will hear that a lot of people's sufferings. When these people suffer in their life, some turn away from Allah in which they say that Allah is not there when they needed Him. But yet some remain to believe in Allah promises. How fortunate for those who continue to believe in Allah promises even when they face a lot of difficulties and trials in their life.

Here I share a simple story which I heard before.

There was once a village. In that village there live a very wealthy man. The wealthy man wealth is almost impossible to finish and he is the owner of the village. One day, the wealthy man go out and announce to all that he will conduct a test to all. He will close his door and all the poeple in the village are compulsory to participate in the test. He promise that the one who waited faithfully at his door until he open it will be made wealthy also.

The first day, all of the villagers waited at in front of the door. But the wealthy man didnt open his door. All the villagers continue to wait. On the third day, some of the villagers begin to question about the sincerity of the owner of fullfilling his promised. Day by day, villagers that wait in front of the owner house reduced. Some of the villagers also start leaving when they are influence by other villagers who left. After ten day, there is only 3 person waiting outside the door. At the tenth day evening, finally the door is open and the three person that is still waiting outside the house is invited into the house and made wealthy after that. The wealthy man kept his promise.

The story above is a simple story but yet it is the same concept as our life. Allah has promises us heaven if we are faithfully to his commandment. The only thing we need to do is continue to believe in Him and do His work and at the end, Insyaallah Allah will reward us.

In the Quran, Allah has promise us that :

If any do deeds of righteousness,- be they male or female - and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them. (An Nisa :124)

For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise,- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward. (Al Ahzab: 35)

Some of us may ask, why do Allah want to test us and not just giving us heaven. In the Quran , Allah has given the answer to all.

That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct. (Al khaf :7)

He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving (Al Mulk :2)

Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere (Al Baqara : 155)

Here Allah has stated that He will definately test us to know which of us is best in conduct or sincere to Him.

But bear in mind that Allah will not test us beyond our capabilities.

On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear (Al Baqara : 286)

Sometimes it is true that we may not get what we want, but it may be because of some reason such as :

If Allah give you want you want straight, it means He love you.
If Allah give you what you want a bit late, it means He want to test you but He still love you.
If Allah don't give you what you want, it means He is giving something better to you.

It is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not. (Al Baqara: 216)

Some of us may fill very stress when facing the test from Allah, but Allah has told us:

And be not infirm, and be not grieving, and you shall have the upper hand if you are believers. (Al Imran : 139 )

Hmm, some of us may also ask how are we going to face the test ?

And seek assistance through patience and prayer, and most surely it is a hard thing except for the humble ones (Al Baqara :45)

Some will also ask, to whom I can depend on when I am facing this test ?

But if they turn back, say: Allah is sufficient for me, there is no god but He; on Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of mighty power. (Al Tawba :129)

When a person say that he give up, Allah has say to them :

Despair not of Allah's mercy; surely none despairs of Allah's mercy except the unbelieving people. (Yusuf : 87)

There may be times where we tend to judge the test face by some people that their test is not heavy compare to those they have seen, but my question to them is who are we to judge whether their test is heavy or not ? It is Allah who give us our test. The test we feel heavy may be light for others and it goes the same for others. When we see others in trouble, we pray for them that Allah help him and guide him and do not burden us with test that we can't handle. Amin

Allah has promise to be with us and help us when we are in test. Be patient and do not give up !

Nice Song

Just listen back one artist which i like before I revert to Islam and found one song which is nice. hehe. Here is the song.

Title : 新家 from the artist 阿杜

Lyric :

＊天堂的家什麼樣　是不是都長了翅膀
風暴將臨　帶我們逃

我們用愛打造　原諒過往　再擁抱希望
緊緊擁抱　我們的新家

＃家　是每個小孩的夢想　淚和汗水流過的胸膛
愛　一塊一塊的砌上　裝上門窗　迎接陽光

＃家　是每個心靈的天堂　傷痛了逃回的方向
愛　一天一天的茁壯　家就是天堂

Repeat ＊,＃,＃

Simple lyric but with wonderful meaning.

Love in Islam

Love In Islam

Since I revert to Islam, I have heard more about the punishment of Allah than about the love of Allah. I started feeling that: do Allah like only to punish? But Alhamdulillah after attending one class, I realize that Allah really love us human even though in the Quran Allah didn’t state that He love us. But the marvelous way is that Allah show us that He love us through practical way. Below I will try to explain about the love in Islam according to Quran and also some Hadith.

Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Az-Zumar 39:53)

"Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped.

(Az-Zumar 39:54)

This verse is to show us that Allah will forgive us all the time if we really repent on our sins. No matter what sin that we commit, if we have not yet die, Allah will forgive it. But if a person has die, Allah will also forgive all his sins except for one.

Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.

(An-Nisa 4:48)

But does it mean that those who don’t know about Islam will also be punish? The answer is a NO. This is because Allah is always just. This is mention through the below verse.

Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger (to give warning).

(Al Isra 17:15)

For those who don’t know about Islam, Allah will send messenger to them so that they know about Islam. But how about those age where there is no more messenger? If there is no more messenger, then the duty of spreading about Islam drop to the ummah after the Messenger such as Daie.

Below is one verse that show Allah is never unjust in the least degree.

Allah is never unjust in the least degree: If there is any good (done), He doubleth it, and giveth from His own presence a great reward.

(An Nisa 4:40)

Allah is always ready to double our reward. This is also shown in the Quran and  hadiths.

He that doeth good shall have ten times as much to his credit: He that doeth evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil: no wrong shall be done unto (any of) them.

(Al Annam 6:160)

For Deeds Allah multiply by 10 times. Waoo really a lot, but sin Allah didn’t multiply it. Allah really love us in which don’t want us to bear so many sins. And always ready to forgive us.

l      Sahih Bukhari 8:498, Riwayat Ibnu Abbas

–        Niat buat kebaikan tapi tak dilakukan, dibalas pahala penuh

–        Niat buat kebaikan dan dilakukan, dibalas 10 hingga 700 kali ganda pahala

–        Niat buat kejahatan tapi tak dilakukan, dibalas pahala

–        Niat buat kejahatan dan dilakukan, dibalas satu dosa

Here also shown about multiplication of deeds in which some may be multiply to 700 times ! Waooh.

Here is most best part in Quran

Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful,

(Al Furqaan 25:70)

Allah change the sins to deeds ! unexpected gift from Allah.

At the end also, Allah has always remind us to repent on our sins so that we may be admitted to heaven and not to be condemn to hell.

He is the One that accepts repentance from His Servants and forgives sins: and He knows all that ye do.

(Ash Shura 42:25)

Allah always ready to forgive us and always encourages us to do deeds through giving us multiplication of deeds. 

One conclusion which I get is that: The forgiveness of Allah is bigger than the mistakes of human.

I realized how weak I am

From time to time,

I realized how weak I am without you O Allah,

sometimes I may have done something wrong without realizing it,

when I realized about it, it is already too late to save the situation,

I tried to apologize to the person several time,

but yet it come to a dead end situation where I don't know what to do,

when at that situation,

I pray for your guidance,

and also so that you may heal the person heart whom I like,

for I realize everything happen according to Your will and not mine,

and it may also be a test from You O Allah to test us on our sincerity towards You.

Please grant us the guidance O Allah that we will be able to understand the one we like more and more,

Even if there is a situation where we may unintentionally hurt them,

Please grant us the wisdom and also guidance to solve it,

for You alone hold the answer to every problems that we face in our life

Ameen
