NAILS IN THE FENCE

noreply@blogger.com (Hawa Mahabbah) — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:11:00 +0000

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Inshaallah..

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the n...umber of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there and a verbal wound is just as bad as a physical one.'” The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said “I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you.” “Of course I can,” said the father. Moral : The next time you get angry with someone and are about to speak, ask yourself if there was a way to say what you want to say with neutral words. Often the habit of reacting angrily is just that - a habit you learned when you were young and haven´t questioned since. You might have become blind to the effect it has on your life. It is really so that the world reflects back your own attitude. If you constantly wonder why people are angry at you, perhaps it is you who treated them with anger first? Listen to the words and tone of voice you use. And try, really try to speak neutrally to someone who are angry with. If you know it will be difficult, write the words down first. Rehearse it in your mind. Decide on a prize you will give to yourself if you succeed. Teach your mind intentionally to use respectful words. And you just might find that life begins to feel a lot nicer - because people aren´t angry at you anymore."

Waallahu'alam..

IMPETUS

noreply@blogger.com (Hawa Mahabbah) — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 14:59:00 +0000

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh..
Bismillahirahmanirahiim..

Inshaallah, Impetus is a short film that journeys into the mindset of Abdul, an Australian Muslim businessman. The audience is given an extraordinary insight into the thoughts, rationale and motivations of a Muslim. Abdul encounters a multiplicity of personalities, situations and incidents throughout the course of his day that reveal his ultimate source of reason and inspiration. The perpetual aspiration of pleasing God and attaining Paradise gives Abdul purpose and direction in life. Spiritually charged to adhere to the principles of the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him), it becomes apparent Islam is his backbone which drives his character, decision-making and spiritual inclinations.

The film was inspired by the following extracts:

And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge. (Quran 30:22)

"To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books."
— Dan Brown (The Lost Symbol)

Nasihatilah Manusia Walaupun Engkau Seorang Pendosa

noreply@blogger.com (Hawa Mahabbah) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 20:35:00 +0000

Sumber : Taman Ulama

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh..

Bismillahi rahmanirahiim..

Insha Allah.. Mari sama-sama kita nasihat-menasihati!

Bangunlah wahai diri!

Hiduplah wahai HATI!

Astaghfirullahal'azim..

Mungkin ada sebahagian orang yang tidak tergerak hatinya untuk menasihati manusia, kerana ia merasa banyak melakukan dosa dan tidak layak untuk mengucapkan ucapan kebaikan kepada sesama manusia.

Pandangan seperti itu adalah keliru dan bahayanya sangat besar, serta akan membuat syaitan gembira. Betapa tidak, kerana jika mesti menunggu sampai seseorang bersih dari dosa baru ia layak menasihati manusia, maka tidak ada seorangpun di muka bumi yang layak memberi nasihat setelah Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam tercinta.

Sebagaimana dikatakan seorang penyair:

إذا لم يعظ في الناس من هو مذنب
فمن يعظ العاصين بعد محمد

“Apabila seorang pendosa itu tidak menasihati manusia,
Maka siapakah yang akan menasihati orang-orang yang berdosa setelah Nabi Muhammad kita”.

Sa’id bin Jubair berkata: “Apabila seseorang tidak memerintahkan kepada kebaikan dan tidak pula mencegah dari yang munkar, hingga ia menunggu dirinya bebas dari kesalahan, maka tidak akan ada seorangpun yang memerintahkan kepada kebaikan dan tidak pula mencegah dari yang munkar”.

Imam Malik setelah mendengar perkataan Sa’id bin Jubair berkata: “Benar apa yang dikatakan Sa’id. Siapakah yang tidak memiliki sedikitpun dosa dalam dirinya?”.

Al-Hasan berkata kepada Mutharrif bin ‘Abdillah: “Berilah nasihat kepada sahabat-sahabatmu”. Mutharrif menjawab: “Sesungguhnya aku takut mengatakan apa yang tidak aku kerjakan”.

Al-Hasan berkata lagi: “Semoga Allah merahmati dirimu. Tidak ada seorangpun di antara kita yang melakukan semua yang diperintahkan Allah. Syaitan akan gembira apabila kita berfikir seperti itu sehingga tidak ada seorangpun yang memerintah kepada kebaikan dan tidak pula mencegah dari kemungkaran”.

Berkata Ibnu Hazm: “Apabila orang yang mencegah dari perbuatan keji mesti orang yang tidak memiliki kesalahan, dan orang yang memerintah kepada kebaikan mesti orang yang selalu mengerjakan kebajikan, maka tidak ada seorangpun yang mencegah dari yang mungkar dan tidak ada seorang pun yang mengajak kepada kebaikan setelah Nabi Muhammadsallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam.”

(Semua nukilan diatas dapat ditemukan dalam kitab al-Jami’ li Ahkamil Quran: 1/367, al-Qurtubi).

Imam Nawawi berkata:
“Para ulama menyatakan bahawa tidak disyaratkan pada orang yang memerintah kepada kebaikan atau orang yang mencegah dari kemungkaran untuk mencapai kesempurnaan dalam segala hal. Tapi, ia mesti tetap mengajak kepada kebaikan walaupun ia memiliki kekurangan dalam hal yang ia ajak kepadanya, dan ia tetap mencegah kemungkaran walau ia terkadang mengerjakan apa yang ia cegah. Kerana sesungguhnya wajib pada dirinya dua perkara iaitu : mengajak dirinya sendiri ke arah kebaikan dan mencegah dari kemungkaran; dan mengajak orang lain ke arah kepada kebaikan dan mencegah mereka dari yang mungkar. Tidak boleh ia melalaikan salah satu dari dua perkara tersebut”.
(Syarah Sahih Muslim: 2/23, An-Nawawi).

Semoga kita termasuk orang-orang yang selalu saling menasihati dalam kebaikan.

Consequences of Iman

by: Dr Suhaib Hasan

A student studies hard for his final examinations, researching in libraries, practicing past papers and revising his notes because he wants a university degree that will help advance his career.

A businessman invests much of his time, energy and money into a commercial venture in the hope of large profits in the future.

A farmer ploughs his land, sows it, waters it and tends it regularly in the hope of a good harvest.

They all know that success does not come down on a plate but has to be achieved through hard work. Man does certain things in life for certain results, and he avoids other acts because of their consequences.

An adult will not put his hand into a naked flame because he knows that fire burns, but a child will do so as he is unaware of the consequences.

The most important Belief and Knowledge that should dictate our actions is that Allah Almighty exists, that He is the Creator and Provider, and that none can benefit nor harm us except with His permission.

If a person's Iman (faith) in Allah is firm and unyielding, he will be able to direct all his worship and obedience to Allah and will feel no fear of false deities or worldly powers.

Consider the encounter of Pharaoh's court magicians with Prophet Musa as described in the Quran. Before meeting the Prophet, they pleaded with Pharaoh for a substantial reward were they to defeat Musa in a duel using magic. "So the sorcerers came to Pharaoh and said, 'Of course we shall have a suitable reward if we win.' " (Surah Al A'raaf 113)

Pharaoh accepted their plea and promised them not only a reward but also positions at court. When the encounter with Musa began, the magicians realized quickly that while their own display was simple magic, Musa's display was extraordinary and much more than any human could conjure up. So overawed were they by Musa's miracles that they all fell down in sajda saying, "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds. The Lord of Musa and Harun." (Surah Ta Ha, 70)

Pharaoh was stunned by their declaration of faith in Allah and shouted:

"Have you believed in Him before I gave you permission? ... Be sure, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and then I will crucify you on trunks of palm trees. So shall you know which of us can give the more severe and lasting punishment." (Surah Ta Ha, 71)

These threats did not frighten the magicians. These men who had just been begging Pharaoh for more gold coins now became so fearless because of their faith in Allah that they answered him back easily.

"Never shall we prefer you over the Clear Signs that have come to us and Him who has created us. So decree whatever you wish to decree. For you can only decree concerning the matters of this world. We have believed in our Lord; may He forgive us our faults and the magic to which you did compel us, for Allah is the Best and forever abiding." (Surah Ta Ha, 72-73)

Akhlak dalam berdakwah

noreply@blogger.com (Hawa Mahabbah) — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 15:24:00 +0000

SUMBER: AL-FANSHURI

Guru Mulia, Habib Umar bin Muhammad bin Salim bin Hafidz ibn Syeikh Abu Bakar bin Salimحفظه اللهmenyebut di dalam pelajarannya tentang dakwah kepada pelajar-pelajar di Darul Zahra`, sebagaimana yang terhimpun di dalam kitab Irsyadul Da’iyati.

“ …… Dakwah memerlukan mujahadah. Mujahadah untuk mendidik jiwa agar bersabar dan teguh, agar kembali kepada Allah, meneladani Nabi صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم, menyampaikan nasihat, berhijrah, bersikap murah hati dan mengutamakan orang lain. Setiap jenis mujahadah memerlukan pembahasan tersendiri.

Kita harus mengetahui sejarah orang-orang dahulu yang hidup sebelum kita. Dahulu Imam ‘Alwi bin Syihabuddin رحمه الله [beliau adalah datuk kepada Habib ‘Abdullah BinSyihab. Wafat di Tarim pada 12 Ramadhan 1386H] dan Habib ‘Abdullah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمه الله [beliau adalah ayahanda kepada Habib Salim Asy-Syathiri. Menjadi pengasuh atau pemimpin rubath Tarim selama lebihkurang 50 tahun. Wafat di Tarim pada 29 Jumadil Ula 1361H]sering di ganggu masyarakat. …….

Kisah: …… Habib ‘Abdulah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمه الله tatkala berwudhu selalu mengamalkan sunnah-sunnahnya. Suatu hati, ketika beliau sedang berwudhu di jabiyah Masjid Ba’alawi, seorang lelaki tua menganggap wudhunya terlalu lama.

Was-was apakah ini? Kau membuat kami menunggu terlalu lama! Kata lelaki tua itu. Dia lalu membuka pintu jabiyah, masuk ke dalamnya. Keluar dari sini! Bentak lelaki tua itu seraya membuang pakaian Habib ‘Abdulah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمه الله , sedangkan Habib ‘Abdulah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمه الله belum selesai berwudhu. Lalu Habib ‘Abdulah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمه اللهsegera mencapai pakaiannya dan segera pulang ke rumah untuk menyempurnakan wudhunya. Sesampainya beliau kerumahnya, dia berfikir, “Hari ini aku telah melukai hati seseorang di Tarim. Ini adalah ‘aib bagiku. Aku tidak boleh menyusahkan orang.”

Cuba perhatikan, jika ada seseorang membuang pakaian kalian dan berkata seperti di atas, apa yang kalian lakukan? Apa yang kalian ucapkan? Apa kalian akan bersikap sopan kepada orang tua yang membuang pakaian kalian, seraya berkata wahai orang yang tidak beradab!? Apa yang kalian akan ucapkan? Apakah kalian akan mendatanginya [orang tua tersebut] dan meminta maaf?

Kalian akan berkata bahawa, orang tua itu pemarah. Sebab, kalian tidak punya adab, tidak punya akhlaq, tidak punya iman. Jika kalian beradab, tentu kalian akan berkata: “Aku telah menyusahkan hati orang tua ini. Perbuatan ini haram bagiku.”

Habib ‘Abdulah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمه الله merenung di rumahnya: “Bagaimana aku boleh melukai hati orang tua itu. Aku tidak sepatutnya dan tidak boleh berbuat demikian. Sekarang aku harus pergi ke rumahnya, merendahkan diriku di hadapannya serta meminta maaf dan doa kepadanya.”

Beliau kemudiannya mengunjungi lelaki tua itu, mengetuk pintu rumahnya. “Siapa?” Tanya lelaki tua itu. “Abdullah bin Umar asy-Syathiri” Jawab beliau. “Masuklah!” Pelawa lelaki tua itu.“Selamat datang wahai anakku! Apa yang membuatmu datang kemari?” ujar lelaki tua itu.

“Wahai Habib! Aku telah beradab buruk kepadamu dengan sikap was-was dan lambat di tempat wudhu sehingga kau terganggu. Terimalah kekurangaku ini. Aku datang untuk memohon maaf. InsyaAllah, aku tidak akan mengulanginya lagi.”

Mendengar penjelasan tersebut, orang tua itu menangis seraya berkata: “Wahai anakku! Akulah yang kurang adab. Akulah yang kurang ajar kepadamu. Kau adalah seorang ‘alim yang meng’amalkan ilmunya. Kau meng’amalkan sunnah-sunnah wudhu dan kau tidak memilki kekurangan.”

Inilah akhlaq! Beginilah seharusnya sikap seorang dai [pendakwah].

Orang tua itu akhirnya mendoakan dan mengakui kedudukan Habib ‘Abdulah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمه الله. Dan beliau keluar dari rumahnya dengan keuntungan besar. Imam ‘Alwi bin Syihabuddin dan Habib ‘Abdulah bin Umar asy-Syathiri رحمهما الله adalah orang-orang hidup di akhir zaman ini…….”

Hikmah dan Adab-Adab Puasa.

noreply@blogger.com (Hawa Mahabbah) — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:28:00 +0000

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Bismillahirahmanirahiim. Insyaallah..

Hikmah dan Adab-Adab Puasa.

Ibadah puasa dibulan Ramadhan adalah salah satu daripada Rukun Islam yang wajib dilaksanakan.

Pengertian puasa
Takrif puasa dari segi istilah bermaksud menahan diri daripada makan dan minum dan perkara-perkara yang boleh membatalkan puasa mulai terbit fajar hingga terbenam matahari beserta niat.

Dalil Wajib puasa :
Umat Islam yang mempunyai cukup syarat diwajibkan berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan bersandarkan dalil seperti berikut:

Al-Quran:
Firman Allah s.w.t maksudnya : " Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, diwajibkan berpuasa keatas kamu sebagaimana diwajibkan ke atas orang yang terdahulu daripada kamu, mudah-mudahan kamu bertakwa".
(Surah al-Baqarah ayat 183)

Hadis:
Sabda Nabi s.a.w maksudnya : Daripada Ibnu Umar dari Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda maksudnya ; "Islam itu dibina atas lima perkara, bersaksi tiada Tuhan selain Allah dan Nabi Muhammad itu pesuruh Allah, mendirikan sembahyang, membayar zakat, menunaikan haji dan puasa pada bulan Ramadhan."
(Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

Sehubungan dengan adanya dalil daripada Al-Quran dan hadis yang jelas tentang wajibnya puasa, maka orang yang mengingkari kewajipan berpusa adalah dihukum sebagai murtad (keluar daripada Islam)

Lafaz Niat
Lafaz niat puasa bulan Ramadhan:
Maksudnya: "Sahaja aku puasa esok hari pada bulan Ramadhan tahun ini kerana Allah Taala."

Lafaz niat puasa Ramadhan sepenuhnya (sebulan):
Maksudnya: "Sahaja aku puasa untuk sebulan pada bulan Ramadhan kerana Allah Taala."

Syarat –syarat wajib berpuasa empat perkara iaitu:
1. Islam :
Tidak diwajibkan kepada orang kafir.
2. Baligh:
Tidak diwajibkan berpuasa ke atas kanak-kanak yang belum sampai umur baligh. Walau bagaimanapun kanak-kanak digalakkan berpuasa
3. Berakal :
Tidak diwajibkan puasa bagi orang gila.
4. Berkemampuan:
Tidak wajib berpuasa ke atas orang yang tidak berdaya berpuasa seperti orang sakit, musafir, orang tua dan sebagainya.

Syarat-syarat sah puasa itu enam perkara:
1. Islam:
Orang Islam yang sedang berpuasa kemudian ia murtad walaupun sekejap, maka puasanya batal.
2. Berakal: Orang Gila tidak sah puasanya
3. Suci daripada nifas dan haid
4. Masuk waktu puasa
5. Berniat pada setiap malam: Menurut mazhab Imam Malik-memadai dengan sekali niat sahaja iaitu pada malam pertama bulan Ramadhan.
6. Menahan diri daripada sesuatu yang membatalkan puasa.

Rukun Puasa ada tiga :
1. Orang yang berpuasa
2. Niat
3. Menahan diri daripada sesuatu yang membatalkan puasa.

Hikmah Puasa
Puasa mempunyai pelbagai hikmah antaranya:
1. Menandakan kesyukuran kepada Allah
2. Melatih diri dengan sifat-sifat mahmudah (terpuji seperti sabar, tabah, amanah dan sebagainya).
3. Melatih sikap tolong-menolong di antara satu sama lain
4. Meningkatkan kesihatan diri.
5. Mendapat dua kegembiraan iaitu ketika berbuka (hari raya) dan ketika berjumpa dengan Tuhannya pada hari kiamat.
6. Menjauhkan dari sifat-sifat mazmumah (keji) sepert tamak, sombong hasad dengki dan sebagainya.

Kelebihan Ramadhan :
Bulan Ramadhan mempunyai banyak kelebihan antaranya;
1. Bulan diturunkan Al-Quran :
Firman Allah s.w.t. maksudnya : "Bulan Ramadhan padanya diturunkan al-Quran yang mempunyai keterangan-keterangan yang nyata sebagai petunjuk kepada manusia"

2. Bulan penuh berkat :
Bulan Ramadhan merupakan satu bulan yang disebut sebagai bulan mulanya rahmat, ditengahnya pengampunanNya dan akhirnya merdeka daripada api Neraka.
Dari Abu Hurairah r.a bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda maksudnya : "Apabila bulan Ramadhan telah datang maka dibukalah pintu-pintu Syurga, dihapuslah pintu-pintu Neraka dan di ikatlah semua syaitan."

3. Bulan Penghapusan dosa :
Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda maksudnya : "Sesiapa berpuasa Ramadhan dan berjaga malamnya dengan penuh kepercayaan dan ketelusan ikhlasnya nescaya diampunkan dosanya yang telah lalu."

4. Bulan diturunkan Lailatul Qadar :
Firman Allah s.w.t. maksudnya : "Sesungguhnya kami telah menurunkan (Al-Quran ) ini pada malam Lailatul Qadar. Dan tahukah kamu apa dia Lailatul Qadar itu. Lailatul Qadar itu lebih baik dari seribu bulan. Pada malam itu diturunkan malaikat dan Jibril dengan izin Tuhan mereka untuk mengutus segala urusan. Malam itu (penuh) kesejahteraan sampai terbit fajar"
(Surah al-Qadr ayat 1-5)

Sahabat yang dimuliakan,
Dalam ruang ini, marilah kita memerhatikan beberapa adab-adab berpuasa , semuga kita menjalani ibadah puasa dengan betul sebagaimana generasi awal dahulu berpuasa. Semuga kita melihat dan memahami ibadah puasa ini sebagai satu institusi pendidikan dan latihan.

1.Makan sahur.
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud, "Makan sahurlah kalian kerana sesungguhnya makan sahur itu berkah"
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari)

Diriwayatkan dari Zaid bin Tsabit bahawa kami bersahur bersama Rasulullah kemudian kami bangkit untuk menunaikan solat subuh lalu beliau bertanya, "Berapa saat jarak antara kedua (waktu sahur dan waktu subuh)?" Nabi bersabda maksudnya, "Selama orang membaca 50 ayat."
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

Diriwayatkan dari Amru bin Maimun bahawa para sahabat Muhammad s.a.w adalah orang yang menyegerakan berbuka dan melambatkan sahur.
(Riwayat al-Baihaqi)

2.Menyegerakan berbuka :
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud, "Selalulah manusia dalam kebaikan, selama mereka menyegerakan berbuka."
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

Diriwayatkan dari Salman bin Amir, bahawa Nabi s.a.w telah bersabda yang bermaksud, "Apabila salah seorang di antara kamu berpuasa hendaklah berbuka dengan kurma, bila tidak ada kurma hendaklah dengan air, sesungguhnya air itu bersih."
(Hadis Riwayat Ahmad dan Tirmidzi)

Diriwayatkan dari Ibnu Umar, bahawa Nabi s.a.w apabila selesai berbuka baginda berdo'a. "Telah pergi rasa haus dan menjadi basah semua urat-urat dan pahala tetap ada insya Allah."
(Hadis Riwayat ad-Daaruqthni dan Abu Daud)

3.Berdo'a ketika berpuasa dan waktu berbuka :
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud, "Sesungguhnya bagi orang yang berpuasa, pada waktu berbuka, tersedia do'a yang makbul."

Dalam hadis yang lain Nabi s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud, "Ada tiga golongan yang tidak ditolak do'a mereka : Orang yang berpuasa hingga dia berbuka, Imam (ketua) yang adil dan orang yang teraniaya."

4.Menjauhi perkara yang bertentangan dengan puasa :
Puasa adalah ibadah yang utama untuk kita mendekatkan diri kepada Allah, untuk mendidik jiwa dan melatihnya berbuat kebaikan.

Sesungguhnya puasa bukan setakat menahan diri dari makan dan minum sahaja, tetapi juga menahan diri dari apa jua yang dilarang oleh Allah s.w.t., disamping mengikhlaskan niat kerana Allah s.w.t semata-mata.

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang bermaksud, "Tidaklah puasa itu dari makan dan minum, tetapi puasa itu adalah dari perbuatan yang sia-sia dan dari perbuatan keji."

Sabda baginda s.a.w lagi yang bermaksud, "Berapa ramai yang berpuasa tetapi yang diterimanya hanyalah rasa lapar dan dahaga sahaja; dan berapa banyak orang yang bangun bersolat, tetapi yang diterimanya tiada lebih dari letih dan penat sahaja."

5.Menggosok gigi (bersugi)
Disunatkan menurut riwayat bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w biasa bersugi ketika berpuasa.(Jika boleh jangan menggunakan ubat gigi, gunakan berus kosong saja atau gunakan kayu sugi)

6.Lebih bersifat dermawan. (banyak bersedekah dan menolong orang lain) dan membaca al-Qur'an.
Kedua perkara ini adalah disunatkan pada setiap ketika, dan lebih utama dalam bulan Ramadhan, dimana ganjaran pahalanya digandakan oleh Allah s.w.t.

Diriwayatkan Ibnu Abbas bahawa Rasulullah orang yang paling dermawan dan baginda lebih dermawan lagi dalam bulan Ramadhan. Jibril menemui Nabi s.a.w setiap malam pada bulan Ramadhan untuk mentadaruskan al-Qur'an kepada baginda dan benar-benar Rasulullah lebih dermawan dan cepat melakukan kebajikan (lebih cepat daripada angin yang dikirim)
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari)

7.Menghidupkan malam dengan solat Tarawih secara berjemaah.
Sabda Nabi s.a.w yang bermaksud, "Barangsiapa yang solat malam di bulan Ramadhan kerana beriman dan mengharapkan pahala dari Allah maka diampuni dosanya yang telah lalu."
(Hadis Riwayat Jama'ah)

8.Giat beribadat pada 10 hari terakhir dalam bulan Ramadhan.
Syaidatina Aisyah r.h meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bila telah masuk puluhan terakhir dari bulan Ramadhan, diramaikan waktu malam, dibangunkan keluarganya dan diikat eratkan kain sarungnya.
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

"Baginda amat giat (beribadat) pada puluhan terakhir, melebihi kegiatannya pada saat-saat lainnya."
(Hadis Riwayat Muslim)

Diriwayatkan dari Aisyah r.h bahawa saya berkata kepada Rasulullah s.a.w, " Ya Rasulullah, bagaimana pendapat tuan bila saya mengetahui Lailatul qadar, apa yang harus saya baca pada malam itu?' Baginda bersabda, "Bacalah, 'Ya Allah, sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pemberi Ampun, Engkau suka kepada keampunan maka ampunilah daku"
(Hadis Riwayat at-Tirmidzi dan Ahmad)

9.Menjauhi perkara keji dan pertengkaran.
Diriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah r.a bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud :
"Setiap amal anak Adam adalah untuknya kecuali puasa, ia adalah untuk-Ku dan Aku yang akan memberikan pahala dengannya. Dan sesungguhnya puasa itu adalah benteng pertahanan, pada hari ketika kamu berpuasa janganlah berbuat keji, jangan berteriak-teriak (pertengkaran), apabila seorang memakinya sedang ia berpuasa maka hendaklah ia katakan : 'Sesungguhnya saya sedang berpuasa.'Demi jiwa Muhammad yang ada di tangan-Nya sungguh bau busuk mulut orang yang sedang berpuasa itu lebih wangi di sisi Allah pada hari kiamat daripada kasturi. Dan bagi orang yang berpuasa ada dua kegembiraan, apabila ia berbuka ia bergembira dengan bukanya dan apabila ia berjumpa dengan Rabbnya ia gembira kerana puasanya."
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag

when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho

born to a throne
stronger than rome
but violent prone
poor people zone
but its my home
all i have known
where i got grown
streets we would roam

out of the darkness
i came the farthest
among the hardest survive
learn form these streets
it can be bleak
accept no defeet
surrender retreat
(so we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithful day
its not far away
but for now we say

when i get older i will be
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag

Beauty Tips For Sisters

1- To beautify your eyes, lower your gaze towards strange men; this will make your eyes pure and shiny.

2- To beautify your face and make it shiny, keep doing wudu minimum five times a day.

3- To have attractive lips, always mention Allah and remember to speak the truth.

4- As for blush and rouge, “Modesty” (Haya) is one of the best brands and it can be found in any of the Islamic centers.

5- To remove impurities from your face and body, use a soap called “Istghfar” (seeking forgiveness of Allah) this soap will remove many bad deeds.

6- Now about your hair, if any of you has a problem of split ends, then I suggest “Islamic Hijab” which will protect your hair from damage.

7- As for jewelry, beautify your hands with humbleness and let your hands be generous and give charity to the poor.

8- To avoid heart disease, forgive people who hurt your feelings.

9- Your necklace should be a sign to pardon your fellow brothers and sisters.

I'm the slave"Ana Al'Abd" [English Translation]

Lyrics

I'm the slave who earned sins and hopes stopped him to repent,I'm the slave who is troubled by his bad deeds and became worried and depressed (x2)

I'm the slave whose books of sins have been written and he never feared Allah who watches him

I'm the slave who did wrong things and disobeyed God in secrecy, why don't I weep over my sins? (x2)

I'm the slave who earned sins and hopes stopped him to repent
I'm the slave who is troubled by his bad deeds and became worried and depressed

I'm the slave who spent my whole life in disobedience and never took care of my youth and old age,

I'm the slave who is drowning in a vast sea, calling for help I'm the slave who is drowning in a vast sea, calling for help (x2)

I'm the slave who earned sins and hopes stopped him to repent
I'm the slave who is troubled by his bad deeds and became worried and depressed

I'm the slave who is sick of his sins and now i come searching for doctor,

I'm the slave who is lost, have wronged my soul and now I'm Penitent (x2)

I'm the slave who earned sins and hopes stopped him to repent
I'm the slave who is troubled by his bad deeds and became worried and depressed

Kekuatan Solat Tahajjud Membina Hubungan Dengan Allah

"..Ketika hati dan fikiran kita tenang, sunyi dari kesibukan dunia maka ketika saat inilah jika kita bermunajat hingga menitiskan air mata penyesalan dan memohon ampun kepada Allah s.w.t. maka akan mendapat perlindungan daripada Allah s.w.t. di hari akhirat nanti.."

Solat satu ibadah khusus , solat sunat yang amat dituntut untuk dikerjakan oleh seorang Mukmin adalah solat tahajjud. Kekuatan solat tahajjud adalah dapat membina hubungan hati dengan Allah s.w.t.

“Tahajjud” bermaksud bangun dari tidur pada waktu tengah malam. Solat tahajjud boleh dikerjakan di permulaan, pertengahan atau penghabisan malam, asalkan sesudah menunaikan solat Isyak. Akan tetapi sebaik-baik waktu melakukannya ialah sepertiga malam yang terakhir. Solat tahajjud dikerjakan setelah bangun daripada tidur. Sekurang-kurangnya solat tahajjud dikerjakan dua rekaat.

Sungguh Nabi s.a.w. solat malam hingga kedua tapak kakinya merekah. Dalam satu riwayat Aishah berkata kepada Nabi s.a.w.: “Mengapa engkau melakukan hal ini wahai Rasulullah, padahal Allah telah mengampuni dosa-dosamu yang telah lalu dan yang akan datang.” Baginda bersabda: “Apakah aku tidak ingin menjadi hamba yang sangat bersyukur?”
(Hadis riwayat Imam al-Bukhari di dalam Shahih al-Bukhari)

Sekarang kita bandingkan amalan Rasulullah s.a.w. ini dengan diri kita sendiri yang bergelumang dengan dosa dan amat kurang sekali melakukan ibadah kepada Allah s.w.t. Untung nasib belum dipastikan samada Syurga atau Neraka. Kenapa kita tidak mahu bersungguh-sungguh dalam melaksanakan solat tahajjud ini? Adakah kita menganggap diri kita sebanding atau lebih baik daripada Rasulullah s.a.w.?

Firman Allah s.w.t maksudnya :
“Dan bangunlah pada sebahagian dari waktu malam serta kerjakanlah “solat Tahajjud” padanya, sebagai solat tambahan bagimu; semoga Tuhanmu membangkit dan menempatkanmu pada hari akhirat di tempat yang terpuji”.
(Surah al-Israa’ ayat 79)

Firman Allah s.w.t maksudnya :
“Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang bertaqwa adalah ditempatkan di dalam beberapa taman Syurga, dengan mata air-mata air terpancar padanya. (Keadaan mereka di sana) sentiasa menerima nikmat dan rahmat yang diberikan kepadanya oleh Tuhan mereka. Sesungguhnya mereka di dunia dahulu adalah orang-orang yang berbuat kebaikan. Mereka sentiasa mengambil sedikit sahaja masa dari waktu malam, untuk mereka tidur. Dan pada waktu akhir malam (sebelum fajar) pula, mereka selalu beristighfar kepada Allah (memohon ampun)”.
(Surah al-Dzaariyaat ayat15-18)

Memang benar solat tahajjud ini hanyalah solat sunat tetapi ianya adalah solat sunat mu’akkad (yang di tuntut). Sekiranya junjungan besar kita Rasulullah s.a.w. begitu bersungguh-sungguh memastikan ibadah ini dilaksanakan sehingga bengkak-bengkak kakinya kenapa kita masih berat hati untuk melakukannya. Apatah lagi solat tahajjud ini merupakan solat yang paling utama sesudah solat fardhu.

Sahabat yang dimuliakan,
Dalam sebuah hadis dari Bilal r.a. bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud, “Hendaklah kamu qiamul lail (solat malam), kerana sesungguhnya solat malam itu adalah kebiasaan orang-orang soleh sebelum kamu, dan mendekatkan diri kepada Allah, mencegah dari perbuatan dosa, dan menutupi dosaatau kejahatan-kejahatan dan mengusir penyakit dari badan.”
( Hadis Riwayat Ahmad, Tirmizi, Hakim dan Baihaqi.)

Dari Sayidina Umar Ibnu Khattab, dari Nabi s.a.w bersabda maksudnya : “Sesiapa yang mengerjakan solat di waktu malam (tahajjud) serta membaguskan solatnya, Allah akan memberikan dia kemuliaan sembilan macam. Lima macam di dunia, dan empat macam di akhirat.

“Yang lima macam di dunia, ialah :
1. Allah akan memeliharanya dari segala macam bahaya.
2. Ditunjukkan tanda-tanda sebagai orang yang taat pada mukanya.
3. Ia akan dicintai di hati orang-orang mukmin dan segenap hati manusia umumnya dan
4. Pembicaraannya berisi hikmat ,
5. Dijadikan dia orang bijaksana, yakni dia dikurnai fikiran cerdas.

“Yang empat macam di akhirat nanti, ialah :
1. Dibangkitkan dia dari kubur, wajahnya putih bercahaya,
2. Akan dimudahkan dia waktu dihisab,
3. Ia akan melintas di atas shirat (titian) seperti kilat, dan
4. Diberikan buku amalannya di tangan kanannya di hari kiamat."

Dari Abu Hurairah bahwasanya Rasulullah bersabda maksudnya : “Rabb kita turun ke langit dunia pada setiap malam yaitu ketika sepertiga malam terakhir. Dia berfirman: Siapa yang berdoa kepada-Ku, maka akan Aku kabulkan, siapa yang meminta kepada-Ku, maka akan Aku berikan, dan siapa yang yang memohon ampun kepadaKu, maka akan Aku ampuni”
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

Oleh itu marilah sama-sama kita perbaiki amal kita dengan mengerjakan solat tahajjud, berdo'a dan bermunajat kepada Allah s.w.t. pada waktu seperiga malam akhir (dari jam 2 pagi -5 pagi). Kerana ketika ini do'a kita dimakbulkan oleh Allah s.w.t. Ketika hati dan fikiran kita tenang, sunyi dari kesibukan dunia maka ketika saat inilah jika kita bermunajat hingga menitiskan air mata penyesalan dan memohon ampun kepada Allah s.w.t. maka akan mendapat perlindungan daripada Allah s.w.t. di hari akhirat nanti. Jangan sia-siakan masa dan umur kita dan buatlah sesuatu amalan yang boleh memberi kekuatan dalam membina hubungan kita dengan Allah s.w.t.

How to Erase Our Sins?

The following is a compilation of Ahadîth that speaks of ways in which we can erase our sins, Insha-Allah!

Repenting

A servant [of Allâh's] committed a sin and said: O Allâh, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins. Do what you wish, for I have forgiven you. [Hadîth Qudsi]

O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it. [Hadîth Qudsi]

Abû Bakr radhiAllâhu `anhu reported:

“I heard the Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam saying: ‘Allâh forgives the man who commits a sin (then feels ashamed), purifies himself, offers a prayer and seeks His forgiveness.’ Then he recited the ‘ayyah: ‘And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember Allâh and implore forgiveness for their sins – and who can forgive sins except Allâh? – and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did. The reward of such will be forgiveness from their Lord, and gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever- a bountiful reward for workers.”‘ [al-'lmrân: 135-136]. [Abû Dawûd, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, al-Baihaqi, and at-Tirmidhî who calls it hasan.]

Performing Wudhû

Narrated Abû Hurayrah radhiAllâhu `anhu: Allâh’s Apostle sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said:

When a bondsman – a Muslim or a believer – washes his face (in course of ablution), every sin he contemplated with his eyes will be washed away from his face along with water, or with the last drop of water ; when he washes his hands, every sin they wrought will be effaced from his hands with the water, or with the last drop of water; and when he washes his feet, every sin towards which his feet have walked will be washed away with the water, or with the last drop of water, with the result that he comes out pure from all sins. [Sahîh Muslim]

Narrated Uthmân ibn AffânradhiAllâhu `anhu:

The Messenger of Allâh sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said: He who performed ablution well, his sins would come out from his body, even coming out from under his nails. [Sahîh Muslim]

Performing Prayer

Narrated Uthmân ibn Affân radhiAllâhu `anhu: “I heard Allâh’s Apostle sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam say:

When the time for a prescribed prayer comes, if any Muslim performs ablution well and offers his prayer) with humility and bowing, it will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he has not committed a major sin; and this applies to for all times. [Sahîh Muslim]

Narrated Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: “Allâh’s Apostle said,

“The congregational prayer of anyone amongst you is more than twenty (five or twenty seven) times in reward than his prayer in the market or in his house, for if he performs ablution completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of performing the prayer, and nothing urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then, on every step which he takes towards the mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels will keep on asking Allâh’s forgiveness and blessings for everyone of you so long as he keeps sitting at his praying place. The angels will say, ‘O Allâh, bless him! O Allâh, be merciful to him!’ as long as he does not do Hadath or a thing which gives trouble to the other.” The Prophet further said, “One is regarded in prayer so long as one is waiting for the prayer.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Narrated Abû Hurayrah radhiAllâhu `anhu:

“The Messenger of Allâh sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said: He who purified himself in his house, and then he walked to one of the houses of Allâh for the sake of performing a fard (obligatory act) out of the Fara’id (obligatory acts) of Allâh, both his steps (would be significant) as one of them would obliterate his sin and the second one would raise his status. [Sahîh Muslim]

Attending the Jumu’ah Salâh

Narrated Abû Hurayrah radhiAllâhu `anhu: The Messenger of Allâh sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said:

Five prayers and from one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer is an expiation (of the sins committed in between their intervals) if major sins are not committed. [Sahîh Muslim]

Narrated by Salman Al Farsi radhiAllâhu `anhu: The Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allâh has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Doing good deeds

Narrated Ibn Masud radhiAllâhu `anhu: A man kissed a woman and then came to Allâh’s Apostle and told him of that, so this Divine Inspiration was revealed to the Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam:

“And offer Prayers perfectly at the two ends of the day, and in some hours of the night; (i.e. (five) compulsory prayers). Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (small sins). That is a reminder for the mindful.” (Qur’aan : 11.114) The man said, Is this instruction for me only?” The Prophet said, “It is for all those of my followers who encounter a similar situation.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Performing Umrah and Hajj

Narrated by Abû Huraira : The Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“Whoever performs Hajj for Allâh’s pleasure and does not have sexual relations with his wife, and does not do evil or sins then he will return (after Hajj free from all sins) as if he were born anew.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud radhiAllâhu `anhu narrated that the Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said:

“Alternate between Hajj and ‘Umrah (regularly), for these two remove poverty and sins just as the blacksmith’s bellows removes all impurities from metals like iron, gold and silver. The reward for Hajj Mabrur is nothing short of Paradise.” [Nasa'i and Tirmidhi, who regards it a sound hadîth ]

Narrated Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: Allâh’s Apostle sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“(The performance of) ‘Umra is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and the previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by Allâh) is nothing except Paradise.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Saying ‘آmîn’

Narrated by Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: The Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“When the Imâm says ‘Aamîn’, then you should all say ‘Aamîn’, for the angels say ‘آmîn’ at that time, and he whose ‘آmîn’ coincides with the ‘آmîn’ of the angels, all his past sins will be forgiven.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Fasting and performing prayers in the night of Qadr in Ramadân

Narrated by Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: The Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“Whoever fasted the month of Ramadân out of sincere Faith (i.e. belief) and hoping for a reward from Allâh, then all his past sins will be forgiven, and whoever stood for the prayers in the night of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allâh, then all his previous sins will be forgiven .” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Sending salutations

Abû Talha Al Ansari radhiAllâhu `anhu said, “The Prophet, sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam, woke up one day cheerful and beaming. His companions exclaimed, ‘O Prophet of Allâh, you woke up today cheerful and beaming.’ He replied,

‘Yes! A messenger of Allâh, the Mighty and the Glorified, came to me and said, “If anyone from your ummah sends you a salutation, Allâh will record for him ten good deeds, wipe off ten of his sins, and raise him thereby ten degrees in rank, and He will return his salutation with a similar salutation”.’ [Ahmad] Ibn Kathîr considers this a sound hadîth ]

Being kind to animals

Narrated Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: Allâh’s Apostle sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“While a man was walking he felt thirsty and went down a well and drank water from it. On coming out of it, he saw a dog panting and eating mud because of excessive thirst. The man said, ‘This (dog) is suffering from the same problem as that of mine. So he (went down the well), filled his shoe with water, caught hold of it with his teeth and climbed up and watered the dog. Allâh thanked him for his (good) deed and forgave him.” The people asked, “O Allâh’s Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving (the) animals?” He replied, “Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Narrated Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: Allâh’s Apostle sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“A prostitute was forgiven by Allâh, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allâh forgave her because of that.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Leaving grey hair

Amr ibn Shu’aib related on the authority of his father from his grandfather that the Prophet sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“Do not pluck the grey hairs as they are a Muslim’s light. Never a Muslim grows grey in Islam except that Allâh writes for him, due to that, a good deed. And he raises him a degree. And he erases for him, due to that, one of his sins.” [Related by Ahmad, Abû Dawûd, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah] And Anas said, “We used to hate that a man should pluck out his white hairs from his head or beard.” [Sahîh Muslim]

Some simple supplications through which we can erase our sins, Insha’Allâh!

Narrated Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: Allâh’s Apostle said,

“Whoever says, ‘Subhan Allâh wa bihamdihi,’ one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Narrated Abû Huraira radhiAllâhu `anhu: Allâh’s Apostle sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said,

“Whoever says: ‘La ilaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahu-l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shai’in qadir,’ one hundred times will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he.” [Sahîh Al-Bukhari]

Narrated Abû Hurayrah radhiAllâhu `anhu: Allâh’s Apostle sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam said:

If anyone extols Allâh after every prayer thirty-three times [SubhanAllâh], and praises Allâh thirty-three times [Alhamdulillah], and declares His Greatness thirty-three times [Allâh hu Akbar], ninety-nine times in all, and say to complete a hundred: “There is no god but Allâh, having no partner with Him, to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him to praise due, and He is Potent over everything,” his sins will be forgiven even if these are as Abûndant as the foam of the sea. [Sahîh Muslim]

Abû Hurairah radhiAllâhu `anhu reported that the Prophet, sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam, said,

“If anyone sits in an assembly where there is much clamor and says before getting up to leave, “Subhanaka Allâhumma wa bihamdika, ashadu an-la illaha illa-anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayka” (Glory be to You, O Allâh, and I begin with declaring all praise is due to You, I testify that there is no god but You; I ask Your pardon and turn to You in repentance), he will be forgiven any sin that he might have committed while in that assembly. [Tirmidhi and Al-Baihaqi, (Kitab ad-D'wat Al-kabir)]

Mu’adh b. Anas radhiAllâhu `anhu reported that the Prophet, sallAllâhu `alayhi wa sallam, said,

“If anyone wears a new garment and says, “Alhamdu lillahillazi kasaabi hazaa wa razakabehi min ghairi hawlin minna walaa kuwwata” ‘All praise be to Allâh, Who clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, with no power or strength from myself’ Allâh will forgive all his previous sins.” [Abû Dawûd, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah]

The Best of the Best by Abu Eesa Niamatullah

Have you ever wondered to yourself what it actually means to be the best?

When we are told that 'this is the best' or 'that was the greatest' or 'this will bring the most benefit' etc, have you ever thought who on Earth gave such people/editors the authority to tell us that? In an age when we have a plethora of 'Top 10' or 'Top 100' lists on everything from cars to films, from foods to places, one wonders where is that list that will really provide some benefit to us in this current short life and the next very long one.

Well, wait no more. Below, from a choice of hundreds of narrations from our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, you can find 100 hadîth, in no particular order of merit, detailing ways on exactly how to become the best, how to have the most excellent characteristics, what really will prove most beneficial for us to know, what really are the greatest things to think about and hope for and indeed, how to become the most beloved of people to our Magnificent Creator, Allah, the Most High.

No more subjectivity, no more empty statements; just the divine criteria of what really is the best as developed by the very best himself, Muhammad al-Mustapha, upon whom be peace. For an explanation of the meaning of each of these hadîth, you can visit here.

So go on, don't be ordinary. Don't be common. Don't be typical ...

Be the best.

Sayyidina Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us:

1. "The best of the Muslims is he from whose hand and tongue the Muslims are safe." [Muslim]

2. "The best of people are those with the most excellent character." [Tabarâni, Sahîh]

Intentions..

noreply@blogger.com (Hawa Mahabbah) — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:08:00 +0000

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh..

Bismillahirahamnirahiim..

Waking up in the morning, gotta make my prayer

Am I really gonna' make it, when there is no one there?

Taking trips to the masjid (mosque), even when it's tough

Am I going for the sake of Allah? Am I showing off?

Gonna' get me the knowledge, gonna study Islam

Am I going just to build my ego? so they call me "the Man"?

Does it matter if the people respect me, when its not for Allah?

When I know anytime He can take me, without one real du'a (prayer)

Does it matter if they say I'm a big shot?

when I get no reward for my deeds

And I'm dragged on the Day of Resurrection

Cause of the folks that I wanted to please

Plus I know that Allah has the power

To raise me up in their eyes if it need be

I should always make my intentions, for my Lord, Allah completely

Chorus: Are my Intentions alright? am I doing for Allah?

When I'm looking deep, deep down inside, do I have the right niyyah?

Wearing thoubs with a kufi, kufi

Miswaks leather socks like the old days

Am I trying to follow the Prophet? or am I seeking praise?

Giving talks on Islam to people

I'd be quoting Hadith and Qur'an

Am I speaking so they like how I'm speaking? and they say I'm "the Bomb"

Donating to Islamic centers, giving money so the Deen can grow

Am I giving for the sake of Allah? or is it for show?

Many times I have found my intentions

Are not what I want them to be

I know I start on the right direction

But Shaitan starts talking to me

And I forget that without my niyyah, I'm just wasting my time

My intentions cannot bring the reward, when they're out of line

So I pray to Allah to help me, to do everything for Him only

Doesn't matter if the people despise me

Cause with Allah I can never be lonely Yah Allah, accept this niyyah

Coming from young Muslims striving to be believers

So on the day, our deeds You'll measure. Know we only did this strictly for Your pleasure, Your pleasure

Your mercy, Your ajur (reward), Your Jannah (heaven), forever and ever and ever

And reward us for those who listen

Heeded to the message, changing their condition

And know that everything up until this point I've ever written

I submit as my repentance

And if its blessings You're sending my way

I beg You hold them to the judgement day

so maybe in Jannah you can look back and say...it was a lovely day, a lovely, a lovely day, yes a lovely day

Are my intentions, alright, am I doing for Allah

When I am looking deep deep down inside, do I have the right niyyah (intention)?

Astaghfirullahal'azim..

Follow up..

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh..
Bismillahirahamnirahiim..
Insyaallah..

Follow up a bad deed with a good deed.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us that the performing a good deed wipes away the sin incurred from perpetrating an evil one. Scholars have disagreed whether the “good deed” being referred to here refers specifically to the context of repentance or whether it is general for all good works.

The strongest view is that all good deeds can wipe away evil deeds. Allah says: “And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good works do away with evil deeds. That is a reminder for those who take heed.” [ Sûrah Hûd : 114]

A man once came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and informed him that he had contact with a woman like a husband has with his wife, except that he did not go so far as to fornicate with her. This man had just prayed the Fajr prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Have you prayed with us the Fajr prayer?” When he replied that he had, the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited: “Indeed, good works do away with evil deeds.” [ Sahîh al-Bukhârî (526) and Sahîh Muslim (2763)]

However, a believer should always repent for his sins. Allah says: “And those, who when they commit an indecency or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins – and who forgives sins except Allah – and then do not knowingly persist in what they have done, for them is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they shall abide forever. How great is the reward for those who work righteousness.” [ Sûrah Âl `Imrân : 135]

Allahu'alam...
