Equity with yourself, offering peace to the world, and spending from small amounts.”

مَا مَثَلُ الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ مَثَلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri reported : Indeed, some people from the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and he gave them.

Then they asked (for charity) again and he gave them. Then they asked again and he gave them until all he had was gone.

He said, “If I had anything, I would not withhold it. Whoever refrains from asking others, then Allah will make him content; and whoever would be self-sufficient, then Allah will make him self-sufficient; and whoever would be patient, then Allah will make him patient.

There is no gift that is better and more comprehensive than patience.”

( Sahih Bukhari )

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ حَتَّى نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللَّهُ وَمَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ عَطَاءً خَيْرًا وَأَوْسَعَ مِنْ الصَّبْرِ

“There will not cease to be a group of my people fighting for the sake of the truth and prevailing until the Day of Resurrection.”

No, some of you are commanders over others. This is an honor for this nation.”

Dilemparkan Ke Dalam Huthamah

2012-04-26T14:11:00.000-07:00

Surat Al Humazah terdiri atas 9 ayat, termasuk golongan surat-surat Makkiyyah, diturunkan sesudah surat Al Qiyaamah. Dinamai Al Humazah (pengumpat) diambil dari perkataan Humazah yang terdapat pada ayat pertama surat ini.

Pokok-pokok isi surah Al Humazah :

Ancaman Allah terhadap orang-orang yang suka mencela orang lain, suka mengumpat dan suka mengumpulkan harta tetapi tidak menafkahkannya di jalan Allah.

Kecelakaanlah bagi setiap pengumpat lagi pencela,yang mengumpulkan harta dan menghitung-hitungnya, dia mengira bahwa hartanya itu dapat mengkekalkannya

Sekali-kali tidak!

Sesungguhnya dia benar-benar akan dilemparkan ke dalam Huthamah.

Dan tahukah kamu apa Huthamah itu?

yaitu api yang disediakan Allah yang dinyalakan, yang membakar sampai ke hati. Sesungguhnya api itu ditutup rapat atas mereka, sedang mereka itu diikat pada tiang-tiang yang panjang.

Dalam surat ini diterangkan bahwa orang-orang yang suka mencela orang-orang lain, suka memfitnah dan suka mengumpulkan harta tetapi tidak dinafkahkannya di jalan Allah, akan diazab.

There is a piece of flesh in the body

2012-04-26T13:05:00.001-07:00

Narrated An−Nu`man bin Bashir : I heard Allah's Apostle saying,

'Both legal and illegal things are evident but in between them there are doubtful (suspicious) things and most of the people have no knowledge about them.

So whoever saves himself from these suspicious things saves his religion and his honor.

And whoever indulges in these suspicious things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else and at any moment he is liable to get in it.

(O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allah on the earth is His illegal (forbidden) things.

Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart

AL Quran And Hadith

2012-04-26T12:54:00.001-07:00

Narrated Al−Bara' (bin `Azib): When the Prophet came to Medina, he stayed first with his grandfathers or maternal uncles from Ansar. He offered his prayers facing Baitul−Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but he wished that he could pray facing the Ka`ba (at Mecca).

The first prayer which he offered facing the Ka`ba was the `Asr prayer in the company of some people. Then one of those who had offered that prayer with him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who were bowing during their prayers

(facing Jerusalem).

He said addressing them, "By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah's Apostle facing Mecca (Ka`ba).' Hearing that, those people changed their direction towards the Ka`ba immediately. Jews and the people of the scriptures used to be pleased to see the Prophet facing Jerusalem in prayers but when he changed his direction towards the Ka`ba, during the prayers, they disapproved of it.

Al−Bara' added, "Before we changed our direction towards the Ka`ba (Mecca) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and we did not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers.)

Allah then revealed: And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. the prayers of those Muslims were valid).' " (2:143)

اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ

عَنْ الشِّرْكِ مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أَشْرَكَ فِيهِ مَعِي غَيْرِي

2012-04-23T14:02:00.000-07:00

Abu Huraira reported : The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said:

and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands.

And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.”

( Sahih Muslim )

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حِينَ يَذْكُرُنِي

إِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلإٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلإٍ هُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ

وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَإِنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا

وَإِنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً

“A place in Paradise the size of a bow is better than everything upon which the sun rises and sets”

لَقَابُ قَوْسٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَطْلُعُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَتَغْرُبُ

وَقَالَ لَغَدْوَةٌ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَطْلُعُ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَتَغْرُبُ

Will that benefit him?”

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “It will not benefit him because, indeed, he never said even for one day :

My Lord, forgive my sins on the Day of Judgment.”

( Sahih Muslim )

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنُ جُدْعَانَ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَيُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ فَهَلْ ذَاكَ نَافِعُهُ

قَالَ لَا يَنْفَعُهُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ يَوْمًا رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

Good deeds will not benefit a person who dies without faith or without asking for Allah’s forgiveness

Dimudahkan Dan Diringankan Oleh Allah

2012-04-20T01:47:00.001-07:00

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W kepada Mu'adz, "Wahai Mu'adz, apabila di dalam amal perbuatanmu itu ada kekurangan :

· Jagalah lisanmu supaya tidak terjatuh di dalam ghibah terhadap saudaramu / muslimin.
· Bacalah Al-Qur'an
· tanggunglah dosamu sendiri untukmu dan jangan engkau tanggungkan dosamu kepada orang lain.
· Jangan engkau mensucikan dirimu dengan mencela orang lain.
· Jangan engkau tinggikan dirimu sendiri di atas mereka.
· Jangan engkau masukkan amal perbuatan dunia ke dalam amal perbuatan akhirat.
· Jangan engkau menyombongkan diri pada kedudukanmu supaya orang takut kepada perangaimu yang tidak baik.

· Jangan engkau membisikkan sesuatu sedang dekatmu ada orang lain.
· Jangan engkau merasa tinggi dan mulia daripada orang lain.
· Jangan engkau sakitkan hati orang dengan ucapan-ucapanmu.

Nescaya di akhirat nanti, kamu akan dirobek-robek oleh anjing neraka. Firman Allah S.W.T. yang bermaksud, "Demi (bintang-bintang) yang berpindah dari satu buruj kepada buruj yang lain."

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W., "dia adalah anjing-anjing di dalam neraka yang akan merobek-robek daging orang menyakiti hati dengan lisannya, dan anjing itupun merobek serta menggigit tulangnya."

Kata Mu'adz, " Ya Rasulullah, siapakah yang dapat bertahan terhadap keadaan seperti itu, dan siapa yang dapat terselamat daripadanya?"

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W., "Sesungguhnya hal itu mudah lagi ringan bagi orang yang telah dimudahkan serta diringankan oleh Allah S.W.T."

He will say: My Lord, I do recognize.

Allah will say: I concealed them for you in the world and today I forgive you. He will then be given the book containing his good deeds. As for the disbelievers and hypocrites, there will be a general announcement before all creation declaring that these people had lied about Allah.”

( Sahih Muslim )

عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي النَّجْوَى

قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يُدْنَى الْمُؤْمِنُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَتَّى يَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ فَيُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُ

فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ

قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنِّي أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ فَيُعْطَى صَحِيفَةَ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْكُفَّارُ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ فَيُنَادَى بِهِمْ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ

Mengingat Allah Shubhanahu Wa ta’alla

2012-04-19T10:06:00.000-07:00

Keburukan yang paling besar menimpa manusia adalah lalai dari mengingat Allah Shubhanahu wa ta’alla, menyimpang dari kebenaran dan berpaling dari jalan yang lurus

Sesungguhnya kelembutan, kekhusyu’an serta keluluhan hati

Dan kecintaan kita kepada Sang Pencipta dan Yang membentuk hati-hati tersebut

Merupakan suatu pemberian yang tiada terkira dari Ar-Rahman (Yang Maha Penyayang)

Dan sebuah karunia dari Ad-Dayyan (Yang membuat perhitungan)

Yang patut mendapatkan maaf dan ampunan-Nya

Menjadi tempat perlindungan yang kokoh dan benteng yang tidak dapat ditembus

dari kesesatan dan kemaksiatan

Allah Shubhanahu wa ta’alla telah mengumpamakan orang yang lalai dengan sifat yang buruk, mereka bagai hewan bahkan lebih sesat dari hewan

dan Obat dari kelalaian tersebut adalah dengan mengenal Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala dan mengingat kematian.

Yang kemudian akan menumbuhkan kecintaan kita kepada Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala

Wallahu A'lam

Begging Is Right Only For Three People

2012-04-18T12:45:00.000-07:00

Anas ibn Malik reported: A man of the Ansar came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and begged from him. The Prophet asked: “Have you nothing in your house?”

He replied: “Yes, a piece of cloth, a part of which we wear and a part of which we spread (on the ground), and a wooden bowl from which we drink water.”

He said: “Bring them to me.” He then brought these articles to him and he took them in his hands and asked: “Who will buy these?”

A man said : “I will buy them for one dirham.”

He said twice or thrice : “Who will offer more than one dirham?”

A man said: “I will buy them for two dirhams.” He gave these to him and took the two dirhams and, giving them to the Ansari,

he said: “Buy food with one of them and hand it to your family, and buy an axe and bring it to me.” He then brought it to him. The Messenger of Allah fixed a handle on it with his own hands and said: “Go, gather firewood and sell it, and do not let me see you for a fortnight.”

The man went away and gathered firewood and sold it. When he had earned ten dirhams, he came to him and bought a garment with some of them and food with the others.

The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, then said: “This is better for you than that begging should come as a spot on your face on the Day of Judgment. Begging is right only for three people : one who is in grinding poverty, one who is seriously in debt, or one who is responsible for compensation and finds it difficult to pay.”

( Sunan Abu Dawud )

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْأَلُهُ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ أَمَا فِي بَيْتِكَ شَىْءٌ ‏”

They Treated As Avoid

It is obligatory for a follower to learn the Masae'l which are of daily importance.

If a person faces a problem whose rule is not known to him, it is necessary for him to exercise precaution, or to follow a Mujtahid according to the conditions mentioned above.

But if he cannot obtain the ruling of an A'lam Mujtahid on that matter, he is allowed to follow a non-A'lam Mujtahid, even if he has a general notion about the difference between the verdicts.

If a person relates the fatwa of a Mujtahid to someone, and then that fatwa is changed, it is not necessary for him to inform that person about the change.

But if he realises after having related the fatwa that he had made an error, and the error would lead someone to contradicting the laws of Shariah, then as an obligatory precaution, he should do his best to rectify the error.

If a person performs his acts for some time without taqlid of a Mujtahid, and later follows a Mujtahid, his former actions will be valid if that Mujtahid declares them to be valid, otherwise they will be treated as void.

Allah Knows The Best

Good Friend And Bad Friend

2012-04-18T04:26:00.000-07:00

Abu Musa narrated: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“The parable of a good friend and a bad friend is that of a carrier of musk and a blacksmith.

The carrier of musk will give you some, or you will buy some, or you will notice a good smell;

but as for the blacksmith, he will burn your clothes or you will notice a bad smell.”

( Sahih Muslim )

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ

‏ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً
