Seseorang itu dikatakan Polis apabila dia berpakaian polis dan menjalankan tugasnya. Uniform, topi, kasut dan pistol adalah pakaian yang menunjukkan sesorang itu Polis. Apakah pula tugas Polis? Jika seorang itu beruniform polis, bertopi polis, berkasut polis dan membawa pistol tetapi dia tidak menjalankan tugasnya, bolehkah dia dipanggil Polis? Bolehkah dia dipanggil sebagai Polis jika dia berpakain seperti Polis tetapi tidak menjalankan tugasnya samada menjaga lalulintas atau menjaga keselamatan? Jika dia tidak menjalankan tugasnya sebagai Polis maka ketua Polis akan marah dia! Jika dia berterusan begitu, dia akan disingkirkan dari menjadi Polis!
Bayangkan seorang Polis yang berdiri di tengah-tengah simpang tetapi dia leka membaca suratkhabar, menghisap rokok, berbual-bual dan tidak mengawal kenderaan. Apa jadi pada kenderaan-kenderaan di jalanraya jika semua Polis begitu? Akan berlaku kemalangan dan huru hara!
Bayangkan seorang Polis yang melihat satu kecurian di depan mata dia tetapi dia setakat melihat, membaca suratkhabar, terus menghisap rokok dan tidak mengejar pencuri itu. Apa jadi pada masyarakat jika semua Polis begitu? Maksiat berleluasa dan manusia tidak akan selamat dan tenteram!
Seseorang itu dikatakan Islam apabila dia bersyahadah, bersolat, berpuasa, keluarkan zakat dan tunaikan Haji. Syahadah , solat, puasa. zakat dan Haji adalah pakaian orang Islam sepertimana uniform, topi, kasut dan pistol itu pakaian kepada seorang Polis! Apa pula kerja orang Islam? Apakah tanggungjawab seorang Islam? Jalankan kerja dakwah ilallah!
Orang Islam yang tidak jalankan kerja dakwah ilallah ialah seperti seorang Polis yang tidak mengawal kenderaan di simpang yang sibuk dan mengejar pencuri tadi! Apa jadi bila orang Islam tidak jalankan kerja dakwah ilallah? Manusia tidak akan kenal Allah s.w.t, tidak kenal Sunnah Nabi s.a.w, akan kemalangan, huru-hara, tidak selamat dan tenteram! Ini yang sedang berlaku di serata dunia! Manusia dalam kerosakan, huru-hara, tidak selamat dan tenteram kerana "Polis" kepada manusia sejagat ini iaitu orang-orang Islam hanya berpakaian seperti orang Islam tetapi tidak bertanggungjawab seperti orang-orang Islam!
Menjalankan dakwah ilallah ialah perintah dari Raja segala Raja, Allah s.w.t! Orang-orang Islam telah abaikan perintah Allah s.w.t ini! Apakah Allah s.wt tidak murka dan marah kerana orang-orang Islam telah mengabaikan perintahNya?
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 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 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...
