WHAT IS THIS SITE ABOUT?


This site is dedicated to establish the fact that our ultimate success in this Dunia and Akhirat is only in religion - obedience to Allah s.w.t and following the Sunnah of Nabi s.a.w.

I think before we venture into a sacred and holy issue like religion, we should at least qualify ourselves, right? So, I have posted this three mind-boggling questions for all of us to answer or just ponder.

What is your purpose of life here on earth?
What are your necessities in life on earth and who fulfilled it?
What are your responsibilities in life here on earth?

This simple qualification is togauge our awareness on our purpose, neccessities and responsibilities.

In this blog, I shall commit to these basic tenets....

-I shall not dwell into hukum hakam, halal haram as those are better handled by an Ustaz or Alim. After all, hukum hakam is just 1/6 of the Quran! What is the other 5/6? Muslims are already engaged in thousands of arguments and we don't need to further fan the fire or "tragedy". I was told, even in Solat, there are more than 200 "point of disagreement"!

-I shall not dwell into furu', Fiqh and other intricacies. Islam has 2 major sects, 4 major Mazhabs, more than 20 types of fikrah, many ideologies, different political affiliations and other trends. Discussions on this is filled to the brim, some already exploded! So, I am not wasting time in any war of words on any issues with anyone.

-I shall dwell into sharing with you some food for the soul. As our body needs nutrients, our soul too needs nur (light) in the form of reminders from the Quran, Hadith, Hayatus Sahabah, provoking questions and fikir to enlighten our hearts! An enlightened heart ( heart filled with the Greatness of Allah and the love of Nabi s.a.w, virtues of amal and promises of Allah etc) will drive us to amal, insya Allah. It is all about our iman (faith) and our amal ( deeds)

-I shall dwell into instilling the fikir, risau and bimbang ( thoughts, worries and anxiety) of Nabi s.a.w towards his ummat and the fikir, risau and bimbang about the state of our iman and the quality of our amal.

-I shall dwell into imparting the virtues of amal ( fadhillat amal) so that we can value each amal and be convinced of the promises of Allah s.w.t behind each amal. Only when we know the virtues of amal would we be encouraged to amal!

-I shall qualify that most posts here are excerpts or notes dictated from the many sermons I attended the last fifteen years and books, audio and video presentations by many Ulama's, Hafiz, Muhaddith, Alims and Maulanas from all over the world. I shall also qualify that the posts here can be referred to many Muktabbar books on Islam.

-I shall qualify that our limited knowledge on Quran and the known Muktabbar books of Islam may lead us to perceptions, misinterpretation and assumptions on some issues. If to understand Quran needs 17 key ilm (knowledge) and with 300000 Hadith in different Books and 4 different Mazhabs with different interpretations, I think we can agree the huge task for all of us to grasp Islam. However, there is indeed, today, although very rare and few, people who are a Hafiz, a Muhaddith and an Alim of the four Mazhabs! Yes! We just need to "identify" their traits and if possible, muzakarrah with them. However, identifying that trait is a different ilm altogether!

-I shall ensure that contents of this blog is about self-correction, not correcting others! It was not intended to be educational nor producing decrees or fatwa! You can't be an Ustaz by visiting this Blog! It is for you and me to gauge the state of our iman and amal. When we know our state of iman and amal, measured against a certified yardstick i.e yardstick in the eyes of Allah swt and Rasulullah s.a.w, we will know "how good or bad we are"! So, from there we would begin to see what we need to do to enhance our iman and amal!

Agree? Are you with me?

I hope, from this blog, you would get that "food for your soul" and eventually be able to gauge your state of iman and quality of amal. Again, this blog is about self-correction, not correcting others!

I am also happy to hear your comments! By the way, for the benefit of all, I do mix English and Malay in my blog purely to maintain the authenticity of the notes and messages. Please comment...

May Allah give us hidayat. Doa...

MUZAKARRAH IMAN BERSAMA BEKAS ROCKER.

SEDUTAN MUZAKARRAH IMAN dengan bekas Rocker yang telah "diselamatkan" asbab usaha Dakwah dan Tabligh. Pertemuan berlaku di Markaz Sri Petaling. Antara targhib, nasihat dan fikir yang diberi oleh beliau ialah:


1-Kita kena ragui iman kita. Hari ini kita suka ragui iman orang. Orang itu salah aqidah, orang ini sesat dan sebagainya!. Hanzalah r.a, seorang Sahabat akrab Nabi s.a.w pun ragui iman dia! Semasa di dalam majlis Nabi s.a.w, dia terasa iman dan Akhirat itu besar tetapi apabila dia meninggalkan majlis Nabi s.a.w, hatinya telah sedikit terkesan dengan dunia dan terlupa dengan iman dan Akhirat maka dia berkata : Hanzalah telah munafiq! Hanzalah telah munafiq! Bukan sahaja Sahabat-sahabat hatta seorang Nabi pun meragui imannya! Musa a.s pun ragui iman dia bila dia tanya Allah s.w.t macam mana Allah s.w.t beri rezki. Dalam kisah itu dia telah diperlihatkan seekor ulat dalam batu yang sedang makan daun yang segar! Kata Ulama, Musa a.s bukan tak yaqin tapi hendak menambahkan tambah keyaqinan! Kita bagaimana? Adakah kita ragui iman kita?


2-Kita kerja untuk zahirkan perintah Allah s.w.t, bukan setakat cari rezki. Di dalam kerja kita, Islam terzahir - muamallat yang betul, amanah, ikhlas, tawakkal dan akhlak Islam akan terzahir. Muamalat yang betul akan menarik orang-orang kafir kepada agama! Sahabat-sahabat Nabi s.a.w telah berniaga di China. Keikhlasan mereka telah memberi kesan kepada orang-orang China di masa itu. Sahabat-sahabat kata pada orang-orang China : Kami dahulu macam kamu (menindas menipu dalam perniagaan dll) hingga datang kepada kami satu orang Nabi yang bawa kami kepada Iman & Islam. Hari ini, 200 juta orang Islam di China adalah asbab akhlak dakwah Sahabat-sahabat dan muamalat mereka. Orang-orang China, kerana sukanya mereka pada Sahabat-sahabat telah membuang bahasa mereka dan membuang budaya pakaian mereka dan mengikut Sahabat-sahabat Nabi s.a.w berbahasa Arab dan berjubah berserban hingga hari ini! Kita cuba tanya diri kita adakah China di Malaysia hari ini ingin ikut kita?


3-Kita perlu buat apa-apa perkara pun dengan dengan Iman dan Ikhtisab (yaqin dengan janji-janji Allah s.w.t). Jika kita tidak buat dakwah ilallah iaitu mengagungkan nama Allah s.w.t di hadapan manusia, iman kita tidak terbina dan tidak juga membuat majlis taklim iaitu majlis yang memperdengarkan janji-janji Allah s.w.t di dalam amal melalui Quran dan Hadith, di dalam solat kita akan ingat dunia! Kenapa? Iman & janji-janji Allah s.w.t tidak mantap di dalam hati atau iman kita lemah! Kisah Ali r.a yang yaqin dengan imannya dan ikhtisab diceritakan. Satu hari, Ali r.a telah bersedeqah 5 biji buah. Beberapa ketika kemudian, datang seorang yang tidak Ali r.a. kenali telah datang mencari Ali r.a. Katanya, dia hendak memberi sesuatu kepada Ali r.a. Dia telah membawa 49 biji buah. Ali r.a telah menolak pemberian itu kerana Ali r.a yaqin jika itu adalah balasan dari Allah s.w.t, ia mesti 10 kali ganda iaitu 50 biji sebagai ganti. Orang itu terus berkata bahwa asalnya memang 50 biji dan dia telah memakan sebiji kerana kelaparan. Ali r.a yaqin yang "Allah akan ganjarkan dia dengan 50". Inilah kisah iman dan ikhtisab. Hari ini, kita tidak banyak tahu ganjaran-ganjaran yang kita dapat atau Allah s.w.t janjikan dalam solat. Kenapa? Kita tidak adakan majlis-majlis taklim fadhillat amal! Kita tidak tahu, apatah lagi nak yaqin?


4-Dalam Syahadah, "ash ha" bermakna saksikan! Kita kena saksikan kalimah Laa ilah hailallah Muhammadarasulullah itu, bukan setakat ucap pada diri kita!. Kita kena jumpa manusia dan katakan kalimah itu depan mereka! Biar ramai yang akan saksikan dan akan jadi saksi di Akhirat tentang iman kita itu! Mereka akan saksikan yang kita ada katakan laailah hailallah di depan mereka!
