2013-02-11T18:04:00.003-08:00

In the second year, after the battle of Badr, the Prophet PBUH marry off his daughter Fatimah to Ali Ibn Abi Talib. "God sets out to marry off Fatimah to Ali," the Prophet's words.

The good news is it word got out among the companions. The bani Abdul Muttalib and they had celebrating the joys of it. To the extent that, Hamzah slaughtered some camels tails for banquets.

Ali was preparing his wedding. then he sold his belongings, including a vest. Everything worth 480 dirhams. Of the proceeds, the prophet asked Ali to use two thirds were to buy the scent and one-third was to buy clothes. After getting fragrances Rasulullah put it into the bath, then directed Ali for a bath.

Although Fatimah is the daughter of the noblest man (Rasulullah), but her dowry just a war vest belonging to Ali, once it is awarded him back. Plus a blanket, cushion the skin contains Palm fibres, milk bags, sieve, glass, wheat grinder and two scabbards. And their home away from home of Rasulullah.

Some time later, when the first night of the two brides, the Messenger of Allah, ask for a bucketful of water. After that, he advises length and rubs his chest and face of Ali. Then he summoned Fatimah. Fatimah came with hooded of wool because of shame. Then the Prophet pour the water to Fatima, “I marrying off you with my relatives that I least care about.”

He then prayed for Fatimah. Something that is very gladden. Then he said to Ali, "applies well to your wife." After that he went while continuing to pray for the bride and groom.

After they officially tied into the rope wedding, Fatima moved to her husband's house. The house was very simple. Ali said, "I'm proposed and later married Fatimah. We don't have bedding, except a piece of sheepskin. The evening we use as bedding, and during the day we were dried. We have no helpers. Household chores are handled Fatimah. When Fatima moved into my house, she brought a blanket, pillow skin contains Palm fibers, two flour grinder, one glass and milk pouches. It often grind flour, until imprint on hands of Fatima. And she was so often shouldering the water, until imprint on her back. She was so often cleans the house so her clothes full of dust, and so often turned on the stove until his clothes full of charcoal."

Ibnul Jawzi said, "The condition has no bad effect on Fatimah. God keep household Fatimah, either physical or spiritual."

Rasulullah PBUH very appreciate and loving Fatimah. Her good nature could not be calculated. She who patient, a religious person, keep honor, qana'ah and always give thanks to God.

If the Prophet Humming the Lyric

2013-01-22T13:02:00.000-08:00

The day was not as usual. The family of the sons of Najjar looked gathered together with Rasulullah PBUH. Not without reason, of their arrival but because the request of Rasulullah. When it is complete, Rasulullah also start opening up the conversation. He said to the heads of them, "All you of najjar, let all of you explain of prices actually from the gardens of you to me. Because i will buy it."

After heard the statement of the Prophet, also banū Najjar said, "O Rasulullah, we will not appreciate the gardens except to God."

The Prophet was not pleased with that answer. He asked them to appreciate the gardens and land, though at a low prices. The land and the garden a desired of the Prophet that is in fact the land belonging to As’ad bin Zurarah and charnel mushrikeen that has been damaged. Besides, including the yard used to dry date palm the belonging to two orphans named Sahal and Suhail.

Finally, the land of the two orphans purchased worth ten dinars. While land As'ad bin Zurarah and land the damaged graves were handed over voluntarily to the Prophet.

Later the land was repaired by the Muhajirun and Ansar. All trees cut down. The old graveyard was dismantled, cleaned, and then leveled. And they work together founded the Mosque.

The first stone was laid of the Prophet himself. Then he told Abu Bakr to lay the second stone after the first. Then Umar was told to put the third stone after that. That's in a row up to Uthman and Ali. Then the Prophet said, "They are the Caliph after me."

After that, the Prophet ordered his companions to the Muhajirin and Ansar, to lay stones simultaneously. During build a mosque, each time the Prophet lifted the stone, he reciting a poem, " This luggage is not for Khaibar country, but this is better and cleaner, o my Lord!."

Normally, goods that are brought into the land of Khaibar was like grape, date palm and so on. So, the intent is that your brick and other items raised by the Prophet to erect the mosque it is better and holier. Same weight of but different reward.

Shortly, he was humming the lyrics, "o Allah, verily, it is the reward of the hereafter, so have mercy on the companions of the Ansar and muhajireen."

Whenever the companions heard the rhyme of the Prophet, they directly answered with rhymes also, "If we were pensive, while the prophet works, It was such a misguided deeds from us."

The Prophet and the companions of the Muhajireen and Ansar together lifted the stone, putting, putting it together and so on. In doing all that, the companions of the Muhajirun and Ansar are equally humming lyric, "O Allah, there is no goodness except life in the hereafter, and have mercy to the Muhajireen and Ansar."

Pledge to Faithful in Aqaba

2013-01-09T22:13:00.000-08:00

When the Hajj season in the 13th of Prophethood, many residents of Medina who wanted to run the pilgrimage. There are 75 people who most of the mushrikeen. Therefore, before they come to Mecca, Mush'ab bin Umair have sent a message to the Prophet if Muslims and the polytheists of Medina many are doing hajj.

The message also appealed to the Prophet on the day of Tasyriq, he was pleased to visit the Hill of Aqaba. During the meeting, which is expected to take place, that the Muslims and the polytheists gathered with Rasulullah PBUH and his uncle named Abbas. Abbas has not converted to Islam, but his love for the Prophet and his desire to participate strengthen calls encouraging him to come to that place.

Before starting baiat, Abbas first stood up speak to the public,"Hi all the Khazraj! You all have heard and understood that Muhammad was one of us (Quraish) and from our descendants. We have kept Muhammad by protecting it and covering it from the hostile. We keep him really to no one can show a sense of hostility to him. Therefore, if you are seriously asking Muhammad move to your land, you all should keep his word and protect him from the enemy. If you cannot keep your own appointment and cannot protect it, it is better you leave him and let him live or die on his own country.”

After that, the Prophet pbuh allegiance for these 75 people. Allegiance of this time is equal with the first allegiance, but after that the Prophet said, "And lest you all help me, when I come as you keep yourself, your women and your children. For you, heaven is reward from God!"

A moment later, one of the leaders of Khazraj who named Barra bin Ma'ruf lifted up his hand and holding the hand of the Prophet and said, “I'm, o Rasulullah! By the One of a substance that has sent thee with true, really we want safeguard to you as we safeguard our women, our children, and our own selves. We swear to you now. By Allah! We are the descendants of the people who are experts run the war, we get the inheritance from our parents. Therefore, we will not be afraid to safeguard yourself out of danger people obviously hostile.”

Then there is the one from Bani Aus named Abul Haitam ibn at-Taihan said at prophet, "o Rasulullah! We have a strong connection with Jews, but now we've decided because we had rises baiat unto you. It's just that, when we allegiance to you and would you gain the victory, and then suddenly you come back to your country and leave us all, surely we are suffering losses, isn't it?"

"Oh not so! But the blood is blood! Perish is perish! I'm part of you and you are part of me. I fight against those who fight you, and I'm at peace with those at peace with you.” Replied the Prophet.

The Loss of a Necklace that Brings to Wisdom

2012-12-12T09:06:00.001-08:00

“O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body.If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again.” (Qur’an 4 : 43)

In an expedition, Rasulullah PBUH and his troops had to stop somewhere that there is no water. With Aisha, the Prophet and his army do expedition of conquest of Bani Musthaliq, in 627. Without water, they have difficulty doing wudu'. It makes a lot of members of the force who are bitching because they have to extend the dismissal of one night again. This is because Aishah lost the Onyx necklace, gift of her mother as a gift on her marriage with the Prophet PBUH.

When there is resting time, no matter Rasulullah PBUH went on to entertain his wife. Who knows what they've been talking about. Possible about the loss of Aisha's necklace, who was hotly discussed people. Or they're flirting with each other because race run are they do while before this expedition was conducted.

For Aisha, the necklace is highly valueable. A symbolic pleasure that has historical value. Therefore, She appealed to Rasulullah PBUH to extend the termination. Meanwhile, the water supplies are already very thin. Even, water in pouch is not much left.

Then some companions came to Abu Bakr (father of Aisha) and complained about the matter. And Abu Bakr became a shame, though unable to do anything about it. In the meantime, Aisha refused to leave that place without her necklace. At noon, the day after the furor over the loss of the necklace, Aisha's camel woke up after overnight break by sitting on his knees. And the necklace was sprawled in the lower of abdomen camel.

"At least the incident make advantage to your army." Aisha said with a slight sulk. And Rasulullah smiling. The loss of Aisha's necklace, indeed be the reason the descent of new law in terms of take a wudoo' for the muslims.

When most troops started grumbling and jittery over the lack of water in resting place, Prophet said something that made the relief to his companions, “If you do not get water, then yourselves clean sand or earth with good soil, and rub therewith your faces and hands.”

A clue who really needed by troops. Without water, they can't take wudoo'. Without wudoo' they are not legitimate carry out prayers. An instruction of Rasulullah that is guided by divine revelation give ethereality for them.

The companions had reacted by immediately. One of them then said, "This is not the first fortune that you bring to us, o Abu Bakr."

Subhanallah .........

Fasting the Day of ' Arafah

2012-10-22T00:32:00.002-07:00

Fasting the day of ' Arafah fasting is recommended on the ninth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, which is recommended for those who do not do Hajj. The advantages of fasting on the day it is can blot out the sins of the past year and the year to come, as the Hadith has been narrated from Abu Qatadah al-Ansari. And the Prophet Muhammad PBUH was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah. Then Rasulullah PBUH said, "It has atoned for last year and the year to come." (Narrated By Imam Muslim)

But for those who are performing the Hajj not recommended to fast on the day of ' Arafah. And the main thing is to violate if they fasted on that day also based on what was narrated from Umm al-Fadhl bint al-Harith:

Many of the companions of Rasulullah PBUH among them undecided to fast on the day of Arafat, while we were in there with the Prophet PBUH. Then I brought a tray containing milk while the Prophet was in Arafah, then he drank it. (Narrated By Imam Muslim)

Also there is a hadeeth narrated from Abu Hurairah ra: "The Prophet PBUH forbade fasting on the day of Arafah for those who are at ' Arafah." (Narrated by Abu Dawood and Al-Nasaie; at-Thabrani from Aisha)

In addition, it is desirable also to fast on day 8 Dhu al-Hijjah in addition to fast on the day of ' Arafah (9 Dhu al-Hijjah) as a step cautious. Which possibility on day 8 Dhu al-Hijjah is a day that turned out to be 9 Dhu al-Hijjah (the day of Arafah). Even recommended to fasting for eight days, i.e. from the first day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah to the eighth day for those who are hajj or not do. It was narrated from Ibn Abbas, the Prophet PBUH said: "There is no pious charity done on other days are preferred than these days. (the first ten days in Dhu al-Hijjah)." (Narrated by al-Bukhari)

In another hadeeth narrated from Hunaidah Ibn Khalid, from his wife, from some of the Prophet's wives: "Verily Rasulullah PBUH do fasting nine days early in Dhu al-Hijjah, on the day of Ashura and three days in each month of the first Monday and the next two Thursdays." (Narrated by Imam Ahmad and an-Nasa'ie)

As for fasting on Eid al-Adha (10 Dhu al-Hijjah) and the days of Tashreeq (11, 12 and 13 of Dhu al-Hijjah) is forbidden according to the hadith narrated from Umar: "That the Prophet PBUH forbade fasting on two days, namely Eid al-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr." (Narrated by Imam Muslim, Ahmad, An-Nasa'ie, and Abu Dawood)

As well as the hadeeth narrated from Abu hurayrah. Rasulullah PBUH has sent Abdullah Ibn Huzhaqah to announce in Mina: "You are forbidden to fast on these days (days of Tashreeq). It is a day to eat and drink and remember of God. (Narrated by Imam Ahmad)

Hopefully the explanation above make us increasingly understand and love the teachings of the Prophet. Thus increasing our faith. God Willing ... ...

Turn on the First Ten Days in Dhu al-Hijjah

2012-10-16T22:18:00.000-07:00

Indeed, is the gift of God, made Him the seasons to multiply good deeds of charity. Between the seasons were ten days (1st) of Dhul-Hijjah that the priorities expressed by the arguments in the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Word of God, which means, “By the break of Day. By the Nights twice five.” (Al Qur’an 89: 1-2) Ibnu Katsir said, ............... what is meant is ten days ( first ) on Dzul hijjah.

Word of God, which means, “That they may witness the benefits (provided) for them, and celebrate the name of Allah, through the Days appointed, over the cattle which He has provided for them (for sacrifice): then eat ye thereof and feed the distressed ones in want.” (Al Qur’an 22: 28) Ibn Abbas said: that mean (is) ten days (months of Dhul-Hijjah).

From Ibn Abbas, he said: Rasulullah PBUH said which means: "No act of charity is better than (the charity done on) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah." They (the companions) said: “Not even jihad (better than that)? “ He said: "Not also jihad, unless someone comes out with his soul and his Jihad then back without bringing anything." (Narrated By Al-Bukhaari)

From Ibn Umar said: Rasulullah PBUH said: "there are no days that are greater in Allah Ta'ala and no deeds are more loved than in ten days. Then make it more in the days the tahlil, takbir and tahmid!" (Narrated by Tabrani in Mu'jam Al Kabir)

Ibn Hajar said in his book Fath Al-Baari: "It seems that the reason why ten days of Dhul-Hijjah be privileged is because the day is a main worship gathering, ie prayers, sawm, Sadaqah and Hajj and none other than the time like that."

The scholars stated: "Ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are days the most important, while the last nights of Ramadan is the most important nights."

Let every muslim able to welcome goodness this season in General with the taubatan nasuha (earnest repentance), leave the Sin and disobedience, because of human sin that prevents the gift of his Lord, and shut his heart from the Lord. We are required to welcome this season with strong determination and earnest. So who is right with his determination of God will give him a hint:

“And those who strive in Our (cause),- We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right.” (Al Qur’an 29: 69)

“Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous.” (Al Qur’an 3: 133)

Try to get a good opportunity before disappeared from before us and we will regret, how bad time for people who regret. Because this world is just a minute and the world was a place of charity works. In the meantime, tomorrow we will be in the hereafter, where the calculation of a charity and Sin, heaven and hell. Then let us be a people of God mentioned in His word:

“So We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's (Barrenness) for him.These (three) were ever quick in emulation in good works; they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble themselves before Us.” (Al Qur’an 21: 90)

It is recommended in the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, hasten to pray fard and Sunnah, because all of that is the worship preëminently. From Tsauban, he said: I heard Rasulullah PBUH said: "Let you multiply prostration to Allah, because every time you prostrate, Allah raised degrees you, and remove your fault." It generally accepted in every time.

In addition it is recomended to fast. From Hunaidah ibn Kholid from his wife and from some of the wives of Rasulullah PBUH, he said: "Prophet PBUH fasted on the 9th Dhul-Hijjah, and the 10th Muharram and three days each month." (Narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawood and Al-Nasaa'i).

Other than that, multiply you say Takbeer, tahlil, and tahmid. Imam Al-Bukhari said: "Ibn Umar and Abu Hurayrah out into the market on the day of 10th Dhul-Hijjah, they both Takbeer and people had joined the Takbeer too." He also said: "Umar ibn Khattab Takbeer in his tent in Mina and in hearing those in the mosque, then they Takbeer and Takbeer anyway people who are in the market. Mina vibrates to the sound of takbeer. And Ibn ' Umar reciting Takbeer in Mina during on the days that, after praying and on his bed, on top of his horse, at his majlis and currently runs on all the days. Sunnah to harden the takbeer caused by acts Umar and his son as well as Abu Hurayrah.”

Then the Muslims should revive the sunnah that has many abandoned it. Even nearly forgotten until by pious people, in contrast to what is done by Salafussalih previous.

At the time the pilgrims were staying at ' Arafah, for those who do not go very recommended to fasts of Arafah. As narrated from Rasulullah PBUH that he said about fasts of Arafat: "I hope to God to was abolished (sin) the year before and a year later." (Narrated by Muslim)

Let every muslim who perform Hajj or not, he should strive in earnest for the primacy of the day and use their best chance.

Glorify Your Wife

2012-10-05T08:16:00.003-07:00

“And the wife has the right balance with their obligations according to the way that ma'ruf.” (Al Qur’an 2: 228)

Many fact that rights wife often ignored by the husband. But if we are examine, the spark of conflict in a household rooted in wife's waiver of such rights the wife/husband by their couples.

A husband has to get along with his wife are worth (ma'ruf) and with a noble character. God says:

“O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will.Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity.If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good.” (Al Qur’an 4: 19)

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH, he very well his intercourse with the wife. His face always beamed, waggish banter and flirt with his wife, behaved calmly against them and broadened them in terms of a living and laugh with them. To the extent that he ever invites Aisyah race (running), in order to show his love and affection towards her.

Every night he often gathered the wives in the house of wife who gets a turn at that night. To sometimes on some time, he can eat dinner with them. After isya, usually Rasulullah came home and chat for a moment with his wife before bedtime in order to please them. The one time he ever slept with one of his wife in one blanket.

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: "The most perfect in faith is the most well their charakter, and the best of you is the most good to his wives." (Narrated By At-Tirmidhi). In addition Rasulullah also said, "the best of you is the most good to his family (his wife). And I was the one of the most pleasant of you to my family (wife)."

Glorify our wives so that later, if we are destined to die first, and then we ask your wife about your behavior, he'll answer like Aisha: "Ah .................... all his behaviour is wonderful, awesome." Including the unjust is abandoning his wife, hurt him, robbed him of his warmth, his condescending, ignore it in taking decisions, and rescinded his authority to gain the happiness of life together with you. Because that's the Prophet. measure the height of the low prestige of a man seen from the way he was hanging out with his wife.

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the most noble man. He serving his wives, cooking, sweeping the floor, milking, and clean clothes, (the story of Aisha). He calls his wife (Aisha) with a good title, "O Humaira" (o which has pinkish cheeks).

"Not glorify women unless a noble men. Not degrading women but a lowly men." (al-Hadits)

The Virtues of Duha

2012-09-15T08:58:00.001-07:00

Duha is one of sunnah pray that highly recommended by of Rasulullah Muhammad PBUH, then be good for us to know this. From Abu Dzar, Rasulullah Muhammad PBUH, said: "On the morning of each bone (joints) of you will count as alms. Then every tasbih is alms, every tahlil is alms, every takbir is alms, every ordered of goodness (amar ma'ruf) and banned from doing munkar (nahi munkar) is alms. All that enough with two raka'ah are performed at the time Duha." (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood and Al-Bukhaari from Abu Hurayrah history)

From Abu Hurairah, he said: "My beloved Muhammad PBUH has often told me three things: [1] fasting three days of each month, [2] a two rak'ah Duha [3] perform Witir pray before sleep." (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Turmuzi, Nasa'i, Ahmad and Ad-Darami)

The Superiority Of Duha

From Anas bin Malik that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: "Whoever worked on as many as 12 rak'ah of Duha (twelve), then God will build for him Palace in heaven." (Narrated by Ibn Majah, Turmuzi and Hadith Hasan)

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: "Duha can bring fortune and reject indigence. And nothing will keep pray of Duha but rather those who repent."

From Zayd Ibn Arqam, that he saw people do Duha (the time yet so noon), then he said: Remember surely that they already know that pray of Duha in addition to moments like that is more mainstream, because the Messenger of Allaah Muhammad PBUH said: "Prayers of people is back to God was at the time a camel's children was getting out of bed because the heat of the Sun stung." (Narrated By Muslim)

The child of camel was already awake because the hot sun that analogous with the morning between hours 7: 00 - 8: 00 am, the hours before it was considered no sun its rays can awaken child of camel.

So provisions and the primacy of Duha that has been exemplified by of Rasulullah PBUH . Hopefully we can run with maximum. And may Allah bless to us.

Complement of Ramadan

2012-09-05T19:29:00.000-07:00

Last month, we have been fasting of Ramadan. There are many shortcomings and omissions during the run, then make six days fasting of Shawwal as a complement of Ramadan. As a means of proof whether we manage to grab a committed or not. Start by begging to God in order to be granted the power to be consistent and keep motivated in doing obedience to God.

"Our Lord!" (they say), "Let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thine own Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure." (Al Qur’an 3 : 8)

Fasting six days on the month of Syawal preëminently are when began in the early month in a row. But also justified if unable in early months and not carry it out in a row. Of Abu Ayyub al-Anshari ra, the Prophet said, “Whoever fasted in Ramadan, then dial with (fasting) six days in Shawwal, (deemed) he fasted for one year.” (Narrated by Muslim).

Why do people continue fasting of Ramadan and then six days fasting of Shawwal is considered to have been fasting for a year? Imam Ahmad and an-Nasai, narrated from Tsauban, the Prophet PBUH said, "Fasting of Ramadan (reward) is proportional to the (fasting) ten months, while fasting the six days (in the month of Shawwal) deemed comparable to the (fasting) for two months, then that's like fasting for a full year." (Hadith of Narrated by Ibn Khuzaimah and Ibn Maajah in Saheeh both).

This Hadith makes it clear that one-day fasting with a minimum reward of God replied to reward for ten days. How meruginya if a great opportunity wasted. Wallahu a'lam bish-shawab.

Eid: Celebration of a Victory

2012-08-19T17:33:00.000-07:00

For a muslim is capable of worldly desires bowed during Ramadan and optimize the worship with full sincerity, then Ied Fitri is true victory day. Today God Almighty will give a very special award that always-awaited by anyone, i.e. the pleasure and forgiveness from God, as a reward for good deeds he has done.

The question, approximately fasting we received or not? Or we do this, only ritual-simbolik hungry and thirsty, as has been pointed out by Rasulullah Muhammad saw? Wallahualam. “How many people are fasting but he did not get the value of the fast, but only hunger and thirst.” (Narrated By Ath-Thabrani)

But according to the scholars, there is some indication, someone is considered successful in running the fasting, i.e: when the quality of individual and social piety increased. When his soul more and more filled with faith. When his heart was able to empathise and are sensitive over the suffering his brother.

In Indonesia, the moment Eid be culture to forgive among relatives, neighbours and friends. This moment to be an opportunity for us to further improve the sense of compassion, concern among fellow and forgiven for any mistakes.

“Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good.” (Al Qur’an 3: 134)

Appreciation and the good implementing of Ramadan will push us to get back to true as social beings fitrah, which in addition have the right, also had obligations, individual and social. Have we feel it? That ' s why congratulatory idul fitri often accompanied with utterance minal Aidin wal faizin ( may we including those return to basic human true happiness and get the world and hereafter ). Besides as prayer and hope, this utterance is also a reminder, that the tops supreme achievement for those who fasting, is a reverted to fitrah ( sacred sinless ).

“When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful".” (Al Qur’an 7: 172 )

In Eid al Fitr celebration, we sunnah to celebrate as an expression of gratitude for victory of "jihad akbar", against carnal passions during ramadan. But islam not want celebration symbolic, to be excessive . Moreover, forcing self. Islamic advocated the celebration with contemplation and tafakur about what we did on our action of the year.

Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailany in al-Gunyah argue, celebrate idul fitri must not with new suit, but enlarge idul fitri event tasyakur, reflection themselves to back closer to Allah. Moment sharpening social awareness us. You had these scenes paradox, how when we happy this our brethren elsewhere still many cry hold hungry.

Maintain the value of chastity has just been achieved. Not to lose spirit in worship because it has been the end of the month of Ramadan, because the predicate of Taqwa should be sustained until the end of life. The Word Of God:

“O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam.” (Al Qur’an 3 : 102 )

Happy Eid al-Fitr 1 Syawal 1433 h. Taqaballahu minna wa minkum. Shiyamana wa shiyamakum. Please forgive all my improper words and deeds.

Thousand Month in One Night

2012-08-07T23:10:00.002-07:00

As we know, that in Islam, there is a time and place so special, which has a great virtue in it. Blessings and virtue are great it's not going to got in another time and place. As a third of the night, time of Safar, standing in ' Arafah, Month of Ramadan and Laylat al-Qadr. Laylat al-Qadr, is one of the time which contains the merit and blessings from God.

We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace!...This until the rise of morn! (Al Qur’an 97 : 1-5)

Laylat Al-Qadar may be understood as God's provision for night journey of human life. The use of Al-Qadar as statutes can be found on the letters Ad Dukhan verses 3-5: ”We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil). In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom. By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations).” (Al Qur’an 44: 3-5)

That night was the night glorious unequaled. He was elected as the night glorious because the descent of the Quran. The use of Al-Qadr which refers to glory can be found in surat Al-An'am 91: “No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: "Nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)" Say: "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "(Allah) (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling.” (Al Qur’an 6: 91)

That night is the night that narrow, because a lot of angels and Gabriel descended to Earth, as asserted in the letter of Al-Qadr (97: 4). And the descent of the angels and Gabriel on the night of Laylat al-Qadr be a blessings derived of God to the believers.

In another narration, Rasulullah PBUH said, "Ramadan has come to you, full month blessing. Allah obliges you for fasting. The gates of heaven were opened, the doors of hell will be closed and the demons will be shackled. Inside there is a night better than a thousand months. Those who has been forbidden (for a night), then he has forbidden (all of kindness). (Narrated by An Nasa'i)

Prophet Muhammad PBUH spent 10 last night with worship in the mosque (i'tikaf). Aisha narrated, "Rasulullah PBUH very seriously in the last 10 days of Ramadan exceeding seriousness he in time more." (narrated by Muslim).

Aside from being a great time to pray to God, the laylat al-qadr is also right to ask forgiveness of Him. "Tell me, what do you think o Rasulullah, if I found out one night is laylat Al-Qadr. What I say in it?" He said, say: "Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa'fu anni (O Allah, verily, thou art The Forgiving lagi Maha Mulia who like apology, forgive me)." (Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah).

Let my brother, maximize us to welcome God's blessing on that blessed night.

The Virtues of Ramadan

2012-07-31T18:34:00.001-07:00

Ramadhan is the power of all the months. Therein many primacy that can be learned, if we really do it. Of Rasulullah PBUH once said, "Months preëminently is the month of Ramadhan and the day preëminently is Friday."

The month of Ramadan is the month of education committed to achieve grade of Taqwa. Carry out Ramadan law is compulsory for every muslim, which aims at achieving a committed individual. Ramadan is the beginning of the revelation of the Quran. “Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong).So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later.Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties|.(He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.” (Al Qur’an 2: 185)

Ramadan is also the month of forgiveness of sin. "Whosoever who performs religious service at night fasting month because of faith and expect blessings of God, then his sins that are past forgiven." ( Muttafaqun Alaihi ).

In this month also will be multiplied reward over all of pious charity. “Those who on this moon was closer to Allah with one merits, its value as a person who does work that is required on other months. And those who commit a an obligation on the month, its value equal to seventy times as much from an obligation that he did in other months. The main charity is charity conducted in the month of Ramadan.” (Narrated By Bukhari-Muslim).

Ramadan is also a moment to practice of patience. And heaven is the reward for those who patience. Special for the fasting person, provided a special door to enter paradise called "ar Rayyaan". Ramadan is also the moment to compete in goodness. Whosoever who gives the fed to one who is fasting, forgiveness of sins in return, he exempt from hell, and he got a reward of merit obtained the fasting person without reducing the reward that person.

The month that is at first there are grace, in the middle there is a forgiveness, and in the end there is a liberation from the torments of hell. “When in the month of Ramadan, opened the door of mercy (compassion) and closed the doors of hell and the Devils are chained up.” (Narrated By Ahmad).

In this month there is one night that the value of charity is better than a thousand months of meritorious works in another, i.e. night of Laylat Al-Qadr.

“We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr): And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace!...This until the rise of morn!” (Al Qur’an 7: 1-5)

Rasulullah PBUH said, "Ramadan has come to you, the Month is full of blessings. In it, God gave his shade to you guys. Lowered his grace, wiped out his mistakes (sins), and granted his prayer in that month. God will see you guys compete to do good. The angels are proud of you and showed your goodness to God. Behold a wretched person is a person who in that month does not receive mercy of Allah.” (narrated by Ath-Thabrani)

Islam the Way to Salvation

2012-06-10T08:55:00.000-07:00

Many people assume , life is to be enjoyed . It is unsurprising if then they are hedonistic lifestyle. No matter how. Self esteem is also ready for mortgaged meet the lifestyle demands.

The result, many who fall asleep with pleasure for a moment so as if there is no day of reckoning, the last judgement and accountability before God. Violation of religious law happen everywhere. Adultery, homosexuality, drunkenness, party drugs, gambling, and other criminal offence, committed by the so-called pleasure.

Who will survive? They had people be patient. I.e. people who hold to keep on top of obedience to God, refrain from bermaksiat to him and ready to accept all the provisions of God. Also people who are patient of seduction and lust for busy worship to God. They're the ones who give priority to rewards on the side of God.

It's unfortunate your fate, o my brother, if you forget and neglect as a result of your actions. You should soon find the way out from thy deeds. See the word of God and bear in mind:

“O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded.” (Al Qur’an 66: 6)

"Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful." (Al Qur’an 12: 53)

“Whatever good, (O man!) happens to thee, is from Allah.but whatever evil happens to thee, is from thy (own) soul.and We have sent thee as an apostle to (instruct) mankind.And enough is Allah for a witness.” (Al Qur’an 4 : 79)

Ikhlas is Not Easy, but Commendable

2012-05-15T18:34:00.002-07:00

Sincere is make purpose is only to God when we worship, i.e. If you're worshipping then your heart and your face navigate to God rather than to men. Ikhlas also just straighten out the intentions and just take the Qur'an and Sunnah as guidelines. Because that is what God wants, which regulates their life and providing trustful life as a provision for collecting deeds.

The Prophet Muhammad said: "On the Day of Resurrection there is someone has a wealth of plentiful and renowned for his generosity, he brought before God. Then all the pleasures that have been shown to assigned to him, and he admitted it. God asks, what have you done in the world? He replied, all the treasures I have no I liked, except I'm alms because of yours. God said, you are lying. You're doing it all in order to make the people call you the generous and gracious. Then God ordered that he would accept it counted in the presence of his court. Finally he was thrown into hell. Abu Hurairah said, Rasulullah patting my thigh, Then the Prophet said, o Abu Hurairah, they were the first human who felt the heat of fire Blasted in the day of judgment later." (Narrated By Muslim)

Sincered of the charity's supposed noticed by every muslim. Should he not make the words of man as subject matter his attention, so that its activities depends by human comments. But only God should be a concern, because God is the base of all affairs.

Rasulullah PBUH said : "Verily, that I most fear come upon you is asy syirkul ashghar ( shirk small ) , then shahabat asked , what it means to asy syirkul ashghar ? He shalallahu alaihi wasallam answered, ar-Riya." ( Narrated by Ahmad from Mahmud ibn labid)

Riya means showed (saw) what he does to others, that is known to the greatness of his actions, either through talks, writings or works with the aim of attitude gets attention, awards and the praise of men, not a sincere because of God.

Indeed, only those lucky ones who pay attention to gestures of his heart, always pay attention to his intention. Too many people are negligent of this except that given the blessed by God. People who neglected their goodness goodness looked on the day of resurrection to be ugliness.

As expressed by Sayidina Ali, "O God I dedicate to you not because I'm scared of hell Thy, or I greedily against Thy paradise, but I serve Thee, because Thou art worthy of I worship."

Seek forgiveness and muhasabah (self introspection)

2012-05-03T21:39:00.003-07:00

“And those who, having done something to be ashamed of, or wronged their own souls, earnestly bring Allah to mind, and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah.- and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done.” (Al Qur’an 3 : 135)

Istighfar and muhasabah (introspection) carried the Prophet Muhammad PBUH is an attitude of gratitude to God Almighty for all His blessings at once as an example for his people. The Prophet is makshum (free from sin). Even so, according to some scholars, beside as uswah (example), which he did not istighfar for sins that he had. Therefore, we should be realize, because we humans are not free from sin, and do not have a guarantee in the hereafter.

Try to compare with the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, a figure which was already clearly guaranteed Heaven by God. He is still doing introspection themselves every day by begging forgiveness as many as hundred times (narrated by Muslim). In Al-Bukhari called seventy times.

If not self introspection in a day, then we truly are in a state of sleep. Didn't realize we 're where, who we are and will where. Or we are people who are arrogant, so there is no need to do introspection. Umar Ibn Al-Khattab once said:

"Introspection on yourselves before you judged. Weigh yourselves before you weighed and be prepared to face the day of appearance of the great."

Introspection is aiming to find out the various weaknesses, shortcomings, our sins and mistakes we do. As the stimulant that we become better.

“Celebrate the praises of thy Lord, and pray for His Forgiveness: For He is Oft-Returning (in Grace and Mercy).” (Al Qur’an 110 : 3)

When consciousness is less, it could be that our lives are exposed to reprimand, or it could be a penalty when not taken repent. Because of the small sins will always accumulate if underrated. Life will be narrow, because it should only to God we are looking for happiness and victories. This is the ultimate happiness, not artificial and temporary happiness. Because only in the hands of God, the source of all goodness. By doing obedience, strive to avoid immoral.

“Thou O God Almighty A Holy, My Lord! And praise be to thee, o God, my God, forgive me! Verily thou art the most accept the repentance, more Beneficent.” (Narrated by al-Hakim).

Shalawat was Feeling of Love to Rasulullah Muhammad PBUH

2012-04-27T08:38:00.002-07:00

Shalawat and greetings for you O Muhammad, how you don't let your face painted, whereas we want to see your face. You are really far from the man with stylish paintings, while thou seemed light, fragrance and the glory of your name is no peerless, but you shall always be earthy ... that's your morals and shalawat for you, O Muhammad.

“Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.” (Al Qur’an 33 : 56)

The first three years of da'wah, you only have followers of 11 people, when slander leads to you, thou kept stepping. In Ta'if thou showered to bleed, and you stay afloat, and in the battle of uhud thy teeth hurt, but not receding thou spreading treatise. And on war Khandak you hunger, until you had to support your stomach with stones for holding hungry, and you stand tall and be patient.

How great is your service, until we can get to know the religion of God, can know the Duha, Al Fatihah tahajud, alms, Dhikr, Ramadan, and everything ....O Allah, Robbi ... Shollu alaa Sayyidina Muhammad.

“Shalawat to me, because your shalawat be the alms (sedative the soul, a cleaning sin) for you.” (Narrated by Ibn Murdaweh)

Shalawat and greeting to thee O Muhammad. Ya Robb, with modesty and humility of self in thy presence, make these shalawat are worth as much as blink of an eye and breath of all thy creatures. Because of the flavor of love to Muhammad PEACE BE UPON HIM and upon our shortcomings, write us into the peoples of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH in the day later. Amen .......

“I heard the Prophet saying, ye shall not make your house as graves. And ye shall not make my grave as the trial day. Shalawat to me, because your shalawat up to me anywhere you are.” (Narrated by Al-Nasa'i, Abu Daud and classed as Saheeh by Al-Nawawi ).

Loyal to The Goodness

2012-04-21T02:56:00.003-07:00

Real life has only one choice, that is loyal to the goodness. Who wouldn't want to enjoy heaven? Who wants to the torments of hell? Everyone definitely wants happiness hereafter. However, why would anyone fastened with the lusts of the world? Actually it's not a choice, but an omission.

God gives goodness so that you may be a good man. And God gave lessons on badness so that you learn about kindness. So goodness was the one the only thing should be selected. And goodness that only contained in islam, which is once again one of these things that we have to choose. In islam, we will thus find many choices about the happiest things. But remember, regardless of the magnitude of the happiness and pleasure in the world, all will surely be there eventually. And the lasting enjoyment a muslim when later we're in heaven.

Therefore, o my best friend, haste for charitable virtue, do prayers earnestly, sincere and heartfelt guidance according to the Prophet PBUH. Because prayer is the first to be audited later in the day of resurrection, as he said:

“Indeed, the practice was first audited in the day of resurrection is prayer.” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, Nasai, Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah and Ahmad)

Can you imagine how much harm, if we get in their teens, have not had time to charity. In fact, in the future value of our charity alone will be a friend when facing God. The Prophet PBUH said:

"Accompanying the corpse that there are three: his family, his estate, and charity. Two of the three things that will come back home and live one (which accompanied him). His family and his wealth will come back home, and lived his charities (which would accompany her)." (Narrated By Muttafaqun Alaihi)

My brother, whether we're ready with the scales a charity that will surely we encounter later on. First of all, Have we audit our own deeds of charity, before God showed scales charity us. Can you imagine, how much trouble, when it scales our favor lighter than the scales of bad deeds? Allah said :

“Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy, Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction. But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit. And what will explain to thee what this is? (It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!” (Al Qur’an 101: 6-11)

Let Multiply Istighfar

2012-04-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

Istighfar (forgiveness) means ask Allah so weaknesses and the dark side of us covered by Him. Recommendation to multiply istighfar behold teaches us that every time there was an increase quality improvement ourselves, both the mental spiritual, material and science. Istighfar not only spoken in the mouth, but it is infused and followed it with a good charity could erase mistakes. To reproduce the sentence us to always educate istighfar straightening and purifying our intention and charity.

“If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Al Qur’an 4: 110)

An awful lot of istighfar sentences paired with repentance, the intended meaning is the istighfar to plead for mercy with oral and repentance, is the self expression to be free from sin with heart and a member of the body. Law istighfar like the pray . If God wills, then He grant it and forgive perpetrators especially if out of a sincere heart confess sins, or done at the time mustajab (a wish), such as the time of Suhoor, or finished fardhu prayer.

From Abu Hurairah from the Prophet PBUH that he said: "by Allah, behold I really beg for mercy to God and repent to him as much as 70 times more in a day." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

And if a man hopes by presenting the heart, purify obedience just to Him and perfecting its terms and deprive of these obstacles, though a pile of his sin full of the heavens, then He will forgive.

Al-Hasan said: "Multiply istighfar in homes, and above the dining room table, and when thou thy are running, in the market and in your majlis and wherever you are, because you don't know when the descent of forgiveness."

Imam Qotadah said : “Verily this Qur'an this shows to you on your disease and your medicine. The your disease is sin that you are doing and your medicine is istighfar.”

While there is still time, let us make the most of their best to multiply istighfar. If Rasulullah PBUH of course repent 70 times a day, what about us?

The Real Success

2012-04-04T23:37:00.000-07:00

Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz is in fact able to prosper his people just within two years. What is the key? Because he used Al-Qur'an and Sunnah to build his country. Why we recently is precisely imitating others? There is no victory unless wholeheartedly reference to the Prophet, Muhammad Shalallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam. In addition if we're not reference to the Prophet then we will suffer a fate like this eventually "as water on the leaves of taro". Never will arrive at destination let alone win. As Western civilization that never finished in finding out the truth and always follow the changes included in the matter of faith though.

The obligation of all of us personally and collectively to return to study of the Quran, to believe and to practice in everyday life. Because only with such a thing, we will awake from straying and losses for ever and will gain a great victory in the blessings of God. That was the successful early generation displayed by Islam. Allah says;

“The vanguard (of Islam)- the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of those who gave them aid, and (also) those who follow them in (all) good deeds,- well- pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is the supreme felicity.” (Qur’an at-Tawba 9 : 100)

The Prophet also said, "Best of generation is a generation in my day, then the next generation, then the next generation." (Narrated by Imam Ahmad, Bukhari, and Muslim)

Rasulullah PBUH said; "I leave amongst you two things. As long as you guys are sticking with them both won't be lost forever, i.e. the book (al-Qur'an) and Sunnah (Hadith)." (Narrated by Malik; Al-Hakim and Al-Bayhaqi).

However, if we do not follow what he has done the best that, then really we will suffered and never will be endless. As His word;

"But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment." (Qur’an Taha 20 : 124)

The Story of a Necklace

2012-03-22T10:27:00.000-07:00

There's an old man walked over to the Prophet PBUH and he said, "o Rasulullah, I am hunger, give me food, I have no clothes, give me clothes, and I am poor, give me the adequacy." The Prophet PBUH said: " I got no any for you, but the people who give instructions to the goodness of the reward is the same as the person doing it, therefore try come to her home who love God and his Apostles and loved by God and his Apostles, of course he is going to precede God rather than himself, go to Fatima's home. Hi Bilal, please drive him to Fatima's home."

And they went into the house of fatimah. When they get there , he called with a loud voice: "Assalamualaikum, O Prophet's family, families where the Gabriel lowering the Holy Quran from God to the universe." After answering greetings, Fatimah asked: "who are you?", He answered: "I am an Arab Bedouin, I have met your father, the leader of mankind, while I am is the people who has no clothes, hungry and poor, therefore help me, may God bless you."

When he got in the mosque, he told to Rasulullah : “O Rasulullah, Fatimah has given this necklace” and she said, "Sell this necklace, may God gave you something better."

Hearing it, Rasulullah was crying. Ammar was standing as saying, "O Rasulallah if you give me permission to buy a necklace that?" The Prophet PBUH replied: "Buy o Ammar ..". Ammar asked: "What price you want, O my brother?". The man replied: "For bread and the meat that will eliminate my hunger, a piece of cloth from Yemen would cover auratku so that I can pray facing to my God and one Dinar for go home so I could see my family."

Then Ammar selling parts the spoils of war that obtainment of Rasulullah, and nothing is left up at all.

The man said: O, how pemurahnya these gentlemen. May God bless you."

Take Care of Our Families

2012-03-19T08:35:00.000-07:00

"O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who flinch not (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do (precisely) what they are commanded." (Al Qur'an 66: 6)

Living in the era we now face the temptation that is very unusual. Therefore we must always be vigilant for the development of our children. Keep your family from hell containing mean the intent advising them to obey Allah Azza wa Jalla. Distanced from shirk, teach them about the Sharia and courtesy in Islam.

The companions of the Prophet and the interpretation of the verse mufassirin describes above as follows:

1. Ali Ibn Abi Talib radhiyallaahu anhu said, "Teach religion to your family and also teach Islamic manners."

2. Qatadah rahimahullaah said, "Invite your family are to obey God! Prevent them from sin! They should carry out the command of God and help them for it! If you guys see them disobey, then prevent and forbid them! "

3. Similarly Ibn ath-Tabari rahimahullaah said, "Teach your family are to obey Allah Azza wa Jalla that (it) can save themselves from the fire of hell."

4. Imam ash-Syaukani cite the words of Ibn Jarir Similarly: "Mandatory for us to teach our children Dienul Islam (the religion of Islam), as well as teach kindness and good manners in Islam." [See Tafsiir Tabari (XII/156-157), Publisher Darul Kutub Ilmiyah, Tafsiir Ibn Kathir (IV/412-413), Publiser Maktabah Darus Salam & Fat-Hul Tafsiir Qadiir (V/253) publiser Darul Fikr.]

Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib: The Lion of God

2012-02-17T00:23:00.000-08:00

One day Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib out while carrying a bow and arrows for hunting in the desert, it has been a lifetime hobby and since youth. That afternoon he spent nearly half his time in the barren desert, but he didn't get what he was. And finally he came home and drop in on the Kaaba to do Tawaaf before returning to home.

In the middle of the road, a slave girl belonging to Abdullah ibn Judan at-Taimi over to him saying, “O Abu Umarah, if just this morning you see what experienced of your niece, Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, undoubtedly you will not let it. Behold , that abu jahal ibn hisyam , has been scolded and hurt keponakanmu it , until eventually he endured the wounds in sekujur its body." Then told the incident in detail .

After listening to the events that befall her nephew, he paused and bowed their heads for a moment. Then with a quick step and a strapping, he went to the Kaaba and hoped would meet Abu Jahl in there. But haven't reached the Kaaba he saw Abu Jahl and magnifying the Quraish was chatting. Then composedly , hamzah approaching ash jahal. And with rapid movements he unhand bow his bow and slapped to the head of Abu Jahl many times to fall down and fresh blood out from his forehead.

"Why are you cursing and injuring Muhammad, whereas I have embraced his religion and believes what he says? Well now, try to repeat back the invective and slur to me if thou dare." Snapped Hamzah to Abu Jahl.

In a few moments the people who were around the Kaaba they forgot the insults overwrite their leader. They were so fascinated by the words that came out of the mouth of Hamzah who stated that he had become a follower of Muhammad.

Suddenly a few people from the Banu Makhzum rise up against Hamzah and helping Abu Jahl. But Abu Jahl prohibit and prevent it and saying, "Let Abu Umarah vent him anger to me. Because this morning, I have been cursed and beat his nephew with words that are inappropriate."

The birth of Hamza is expected to almost simultaneously with the birth of Muhammad. He was the son of Abdul Muthalib and Haulah bint Wuhaib of Bani Zuhrah. According to history, the mother of the Prophet, namely Aminah bint Wahab, was a cousin of Haulah binti Wuhaib. Hamza ibn Abdul Mutholib is a who has the of the brain that smart and establishment that strong. He including a figure Quraish that in will respect him. The name of actually is Hamza ibn Abdul Muthalib ibn Hasyim, one of an uncle the Prophet.

He embraced Islam at the second year of the Prophethood. He Migrated with the Prophet and participated in the battle of Badr, and died at the battle of Uhud. the Prophet PBUH called him "Asadullah" (Lion God) and renamed it as "Sayidus Syuhada."

Ibn Athir said in the book "Usud al Ghabah", in the battle of Uhud, Hamzah kills 31 people infidels Quraish, until at some point he was slipping so he tumbles backwards and opened his armor. And on that occasion immediately he be thrown a spear and be torn out of his belly. Then his heart issued by Hindun and chewed but not ingested.

When the Prophet PBUH saw the state of the body of his uncle Hamza Ibn ' Abd al-Muttalib, he was very angry. And God lose His word,

“And if ye do catch them out, catch them out no worse than they catch you out: But if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) for those who are patient.” (Al Qur’an 16: 126)

Meanwhile, Abu Jahl who has been know that Hamzah has been up in the ranks of the Muslims argue that, the war between the Quraish infidels with Muslims already can not be circumvented. Therefore he began to incite and provoke the Quraish people to perform acts of violence against Muhammad and his followers. Like any Hamza was unable to stem the violence committed by the Quraish against the companions of the weak. However, it must be admitted, that Islamic of Hamza has been a protective shield and bulwark for the Muslims. More than that becomes attraction for Arab tribes-the tribes around the Arabian Peninsula to better know the religion of islam is more profound.

At the time of the war of Badr, the Muslims who were first sent by the Prophet, led by Hamza (the lion of God), and Ali Ibn Abi Talib. They show remarkable courage in defending the glory of Islam, until finally the Muslims troop managed to win the war with a glorious. Of many victims of the heathen of Quraisy in the war , and of course they would not swallow offhand. And so they began to prepare and raised all power to prosecute retorts the defeats they experienced before.

And two years later there was the battle of Uhud. So named because of that war occurring in the hill of Uhud, who located of about 5 km of the city of Medina. The pagan Quraish accompanied some of the other Arab tribes allied to destroy the Muslims. The main target of the war is the Rasulullah PBUH and Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib. They have a plan that is vile to Hamzah, i.e with sent a slave who is proficient in using the spear so his organs will taked and will be eaten by the Hind who has a grudge very burning because his father was killed by Hamza in Badr war. Eventually the two armies meet and collide in a terrible battle, while Hamzah was in the middle of the battlefield to lead most of the Muslims.

The entire army of the Muslims advance and move forward in unison, until finally the victory was to be expected on the side of the Muslims. When victory is in sight, the archers who are on top of the Hill of Uhud leave their posts for picking up spoils of war in valley of Uhud. Seems God is testing, and the Muslims were completely disintegrate because they do not discipline.

At the time of their downhill and engrossed take spoils of war, the pagan of Quraish saw it as an opportunity and turned occupying the Hill of Uhud. Assault a sudden this makes muslim forces were surprised and topsy turvy. Saw the incident, the spirit of Hamza grow increase exponentially. And he turned around to repelled the attacks of the Quraish.

Meanwhile, Wahsyi continue to lurk motion of Hamzah. After cut the neck of Siba ibn abdul Uzza, that 's when he saw there was an opportunity. Then he throws his spear, and Hamza was killed. Narrated, spear Wahsy glide with downpours, which eventually puncture the bottom of the waist of Hamzah, up to translucent to pieces between two his thigh. Then he got up and seeks goes in the direction of Wahsy, but Hamza was powerless and finally collapsed as a martyred.

Hind the wife of Abu Sufyan, then she visit the body of Hamzah. And Hind send Wahsy to cleave stomach Hamza, and Hind took the heart and eat it. An act that is beyond reason and away from the sense of humanity.

After the battle, the Rasulullah PBUH and his companions examine the bodies of the martyrs who were killed. For a moment he stopped, witnessed and silent, while tears trickled on his both cheeks. Not the slightest crossed his mind that the morale of the Arab nation has been declining in such a way, that treats the body of Hamza in such a heinous.

Then Rasulullah PBUH approached the body of Hamza Ibn Abd al-Muttalib (Lion God), and said, “I never suffered as I felt at the moment. And there is not any more painful atmosphere from on today's atmosphere.”

Hamza died in 3 AH, and the Prophet named him "Sayyidus Syuhada".

Abdullah ibn Ruwahah. The Searcher of God

2012-02-03T19:18:00.000-08:00

Markets in the city of Yatsrib knew him as a poet. Many liked because the lyrics were words of tenderness and depth of meaning. A quarter of the city of Yatsrib knew him, be it public, aristocrats, merchants, farmers, motherhood and the priest.

They are often saw him tracing city as if it was looking for something. Often he was staring at the sky, observing the movement of the sun and moon. He often wondered what kind of God, which regulates the circulation of the Sun? He also asked, who has made the circulation of the Sun to sunset, while he is floating on the firmament, then disappeared behind the horizon?

Then the stars in space, circulating and shining in the sky. Countless numbers, poking in space through the dark night. The star is as if tearing the curtain sky with a brilliant light. flickering light that can be a hint for the walkers who explored the sahara and the fishermen who sail in the ocean. Who set them up until they are so organised?

All was not possible governed by idols which are worshipped by mostly natives of Yatsrib (Medina) and the quraisy in Mecca. Since it was aware of it, and when his mind began to think of life with all its phenomena, Abdullah ibn Ruwahah started looking for God.

To get a satisfactory answer, he ever approach the Jews who lived in the suburb of Yatsrib, such as the Banu Quraizhah and Banu Nadhir. He would like to know how does the description of God according to the Jews. He knows that they are proselytes of Moses who brought the Torah. However, he denounced them because of bad morals, damage of worship, and away from justice. And most importantly, he denounced them for having so far deviate from their religion.

At a time, Abdullah ibn Ruwahah heard from one of the Jewish leaders that a new Prophet will be sent and the time is near.

One day, Abdullah ibn Ruwahah heard from one of the Caravan that came from Mecca that new prophets have appeared. He is Muhammad ibn Abdullah, grandson of Abdul Muthollib leader of Mecca. He called for a human to worship Allah, the one God and away from idolatry. His opinion, only Allah is deserves to be worshipped. He is the God who created humans, animals and all other creatures.

He was very glad to hear it. He felt a soft touch on his chest, a beam of light shining on his soul. When heard the news that some people Yatsrib will meet with the Messenger of Allah, he soon joined. He was one of twelve figures of Yatsrib who swear allegiance to the Messenger of Allah in Aqaba. They swear allegiance to Rasulullah PBUH not to ascribe partners to Allah, not stealing, not adultery, did not kill children and do not lie.

Good image recorded in the minds of Abdullah ibn Ruwahah. He was pleased when Mush'ab ibn Umair came to Yatsrib as the Messenger of Rasulullah PBUH to teach residents about the new religion. He always accompanies Mush'ab ibn Umair in various majlis the science of. All the explanation of Mush'ab ibn Umair bestow gratification and tranquility in his soul.

Later after the Rasulullah PBUH comes to Yatsrib, he said: "the luckiest man was Abdullah ibn Ruwahah." (Narated by Abu Hurairah) and "Allah of love Abdullah ibn Ruwahah, because he likes to attend the forums which is attended by angels." (Narrated by Anas ibn Malik)

Abdullah ibn Ruwahah is Islamic fighters being brave. Many have a history of Abdullah ibn Ruwahah in the struggle to uphold the banner of Islam, both during the battle of Badr, Uhud, Khandaq and more.

Victory streak which is won the Muslims make their way towards Syria to be open. And this made the Roman authorities feel worried. Fear that's what then encourage them to prepare an army less than seratur of thousands of troops to halt the rate of expansion of the Muslims.

Rasulullah PBUH knows the plan. That's why he immediately prepares troops about three thousand people led by Zayd ibn Harithah, Ja'far ibn Abu Talib and Abdullah ibn Ruwahah. The two armies confronted in Mu'tah, a village located in the South of the dead sea, which is approximately 1100 km from the Medina.

The Muslims a jolt see the Roman army who so big, they came to attack like the ocean waves without pause. Abdullah ibn Ruwahah realize perfectly well that man is just a passer in the world. He knew that martyrdom is the main road to heaven. Then, he called for the muslim Army:

“O my people, for the sake of Allah, verily, death and martyrdom that you want, will you face today. Road to heaven was wide open. The angels stay tuned y'all. At this time we fight an enemy that the number is much larger and more powerful in order to maintain and defend Islam, a religion that glorify our lives. Go, and fight, because there is only two kindness waiting for you, victory or martyrdom.”

The drums of war sounded. The two armies fought with great. Abdullah ibn Ruwahah gives command and calling for Muslims to strengthen their faith:

“O my soul, I swear, you will be up to Him. Rest assured, you will soon arrive there, in the land of peace. The bravest human, and soul of the most steadfast. Of course you'll always expect heaven.”

Abdullah ibn Ruwahah galloping welcomed the enemy. He fought like a lion in the desert the injured. But God willed his martyrdom on the battlefield. May Allah accept him.

Anas ibn Malik. Prophet's Small Helper

2012-01-24T00:30:00.000-08:00

Two more week God willing we will commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. In order that, God willing we will retell the story of some companions of the Prophet PBUH. One of them is Anas bin Malik , the Prophet's beloved maid and even been regarded as his own son.

Anas Ibn Malik, he was born in Yathrib (Medina), on the 8th Before Hijri. His full name is Anas bin Malik bin an-Nadhar bin Dhomdhom al Anshory al Khazrojy. Commonly called Abu Hamzah, also was given the title Khodim ar Rasul ( Helper of the Prophet). By his mother Ummu Sulaim, Anas handed over to Rasulullah when the Prophet Muhammad PBUH come, hijrah (migrated) from Mecca.

Anas's father had opposed his wife's (Ummu Sulaim) converted to Islam. But opposition from the father of Anas had not to impede Ummu Sulaim step. Not how long, the father of Anas involved a dispute with someone so that finally killed. And Anas had become an orphan.

At the time when the prophet Muhammad PBUH hijrah (migrated) from Mecca, Anas and his mother looks very happy. The people of Medina welcomed the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH with droves. Many of those who gave a gift to him, and Ummu Sulaim saw all of these events with a sense of joy.

At the time of arrived a turn Ummu Sulaim had the opportunity meet with Rasulullah, Ummu Sulaim said, "o Rasulullah , the people of anshar of both men and women have given the reward to your majesty. But I don't have something as a gift to your majesty, except my son. Therefore take him, so submissive to you to help what you want.” Rasulullah PBUH was receive with pleasure. Since then, Anas who were aged 10 years living with the family of the Prophet.

In the household of Rasulullah PBUH that's Anas learning and catch sublimity of Prophet behaviour. Anas witnessed and interact directly with him. Observed all behaviors and attitudes of the Prophet and then practiced on by him. Abu Hurairah ra, said, "I never saw person who resembles prayer of Prophet Muhammad PBUH except at ibn Ummu Sulaim ( does it mean Anas )."

In addition, ibnu Sirin said, "Anas is companions of Prophet the most excellent prayers, either in the house as well as in the time of safar."

Anas witnessed firsthand just how noble morals of Prophet in everyday life. Anas has said, "I follow the Prophet Muhammad PBUH during his ten-year-old never though he said: "why did you create that way?", if I do something. If I didn't do a thing, the Prophet never said: "Why don't you do it?"

Anas also once tell stories, "One day the Prophet telling me for such a purposes. I was out of Home. And on the streets I met children who were playing. I was soluble and come into play with them. I actually don't fulfill his order. Finished play , suddenly I think there are a person who stands behind me. I was turned , it turns out of Rasulullah and then he holds my shoulder. While smiling he said: "O anas, whether you have done my request?" I feel guilty, and answer; "Alright, I go now."

The Prophet Muhammad to call Anas with calls affectionately, "Unais", sometimes call "my son". He often gives advice to Anas. As he put it, “My son, if you're able to be in the morning and afternoon without malice in your heart to anyone, then do it .....! My son, that is it included sunnah's, and he who revives my sunnah, then he has loved me. And he who loves me then he will be in heaven with me. My son, if you get into the house then recite the greeting because it would bring in blessing be upon you and also for the occupants of your home.”

Anas is muslim who is godly, and obedient to an order of Rasulullah PBUH. He did not fight in war of Badar, as he was still young. But he many follow other wars. Anas bin Malik participate in yamamah's war, where in this war he almost just now died when exposed to the latch from a hot iron the thrown from the enemy fortification. But the permission of God, Anas had been rescued by his own brother Baro bin Malik.

He was a Mufti, Qori, Muhaddith and Islamic narrators. Anas get a lot of the science from Rasulullah PBUH, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Al-Hudair Mu'ad, Usaid, Abu Tholhah, his mother Ummu Sulaim, own aunt Ummu Haram and her husband Ubadah Ibn Abu Dharr, Shamit, Malik bin Sha'sha'ah, Abu Hurairah, Fatimah and much more.

At the time of Abu Bakr ask Umar's opinion regarding the inauguration Anas bin Malik became a clerk in Bahrain, then Umar praised him by saying, “He was a young boy who is smart and clever read write as well as long time hanging out with the Messenger of Allah.”

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH ever pray for Anas Ibn Malik with prayer, "Allahumma Urzuqu Maalan wa Waladan wa Baarik Lahu, O God, give him a wealth and offspring and bless his life." Prayer of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH was granted God and Anas was blessed with the age of up to 103 years. When the Prophet death, Anas still live up to eighty years later.

Because the age of long, Anas Ibn Malik once said, "No one is left (from a companions of the Prophet) who can still pray at the mosque Qiblatain except me." Anas is also endowed with a lot of descent, i.e. 100 children and their grandchildren. When has completed reading Qur'an, he gathered his wife and children and then pray. Anas is also endowed with enough treasure, so he became one of the richest young men from among the Ansar.

In the course of his life together of Rasulullah PBUH for 10 years, Anas ibn malik has been narrate of not less than 2286 hadith and is the third largest of companions of the Prophet in the hadith narrate.

For Anas, the thing that most makes it sad is time of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH died. If he earnestly remembered death of the Rasulullah PBUH then he will so sad, so that people around him will also sad. Anas bin Malik said,

"I saw the Prophet when he came to us, and I saw him when he died. Until now I haven't found the other day as both days. By the time he came to Medina, he was able to light up the whole thing. And by the time he died, it seems everything becomes dark. The last time I saw of the Prophet PBUH is on Monday when the curtain of his room opened. I saw her face seems like a sheets of paper. Then all the people standing behind Abu Bakr with looked towards the Prophet PBUH. They are almost no power of restraint. Then Abu Bakr gesturing to them to be quiet. Then the Prophet PBUH died at the end of the day. We have never seen a sight more quirky at us, exceeding the face of the Prophet PBUH when we entomb him.”

After Rasulullah PBUH died, Anas went to Damascus. And from there he moved to Basra. With the lessons he received from the Prophet PBUH, Anas Ibn Malik practice it in every place that he skip.

After undergoing his life about one century, Anas ibn Malik died in 91 Hijri year. His last moments, he fell ill and he asked his family, "Teach me the phrase Laa ilaaha illallah, Muhammadun Rasulullah." And he kept the pronounce a sentence until the end of his life.

At the time of his death, Muwarriq said , "Has been lost half the science of. If there are people who like follow the desires and disputing with us, then we said to him, let us facing to the person who have heard directly from of Rasulullah PBUH."

Anas ibn Malik is a maid of Rasulullah PBUH that continuously loves the Prophet until the end of his life. Anas is one of companions the Prophet who fealty deserve to we example. Anas everlastingly desirous to met of Rasulullah PBUH moment in the afterlife. Anas often said, "I hope can met of Rasulullah PBUH on judgment day and i said to him : 'o Rasulullah, this is your small helpmate, Unais.'"

Subhanallah ……… Hopefully we can take lessons from life's journey, Anas ibn Malik.
