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...

DI BELAKANG SETIAP KATA ADA....

Di belakang setiap kita (orang yang ada kalimah) ada jutaan orang yang belum kenal Allah s.w.t, yang tidak tahu maksud hidup, yang hidup makan tidur macam binatang! Mereka perlukan hidayah.

Di belakang setiap kita (orang yang ada kalimah) ada jutaan orang-orang Islam yang tidak solat (75%). Orang yang tidak solat sebenarnya yang sedang merobohkan Islam.

Mengajak pada iman dan amal (solat)lah yang paling-paling penting! Tidak ada yang lebih utama dari mengajak kepada iman dan amal!

Nabi tidak akan diutus lagi! Allah s.w.t sedang melihat kita! Apa yang Allah s.w.t inginkan dari pada kita sebagai ummat Nabi s.a.w? Apakah harapan Nabi s.a.w pada kita? Apa manfaat (kebaikan) yang boleh kita bawa, sampaikan dan hadiahkan kepada ribuan juta hamba-hamba Allah s.w.t dan ummat Nabi s.a.w yang sedang sesat itu? Apa manfaat yang Sahabat-sahabat Nabi s.a.w telah bawa pada dunia? Apa manfaat yang telah kita bawa? Kita perlu belajarlah perkara ini!

Apakah tertib Nabi s.a.w dan Sahabat-sahabat jajakan, sebarkan dan tegakkan agama? Bagaimanakah kalimah Allah s.w.t ditegakkan dahulu? Doa supaya Allah s.w.t gunakan kita sebagai asbab (penyebab) hidayah tersebar bukan fitnah dan zulumat tersebar! Kafir jauh dari agama kerana melihat muamallat, muasyarat dan akhlak orang Islam yang buruk, bergaduh dan mencaci sesama kita tidak habis-habis! Kelakuan buruk datang dari iman orang-orang Islam yang rosak! Islam ini Allah s.w.t punya dan Nabi s.a.w punya! Kita kena tahu apa yang Allah s.w.t dan Nabi s.a.w kehendaki! Kita kena tahu cara yang Allah s.w.t dan Rasul s.a.w tertibkan untuk mendapatkan apa yang Allah s.w.t dan Rasul s.a.w kehendaki!

Hari ini, Sunnah Nabi s.a.w yang asas pun belum (tidak) zahir dalam diri-diri orang Islam. Bagaimana mereka akan mampu untuk laksanakan sunnah Nabi s.a.w yang terunggul i.e dakwah ilallah? Hari ini orang Islam sibuk menghukum aqidah orang! Nabi s.a.w tidak buat perkara ini! Seeds of mercy yang ada dalam hati Nabi saw tidak ada langsung dalam hati-hati orang Islam hatta ulamak-ulamak Islam pun keras hati! Sesama Islam pun mereka berkeras, tidak ada sifat ikraam! Kata ulama amilin (ulamak yg beramal bukan setakat bercakap saja) : seeds of mercy only grows in soft sincere hearts. Ada Hadith yang seakan-akan makna ini- agama masuk pada hati ibarat air yang mengalir, ia bertakung dan menyerap pada tanah-tanah yang lembut. Kata ulama: Orang beragama dianugerahkan dengan seeds of mercy, lembut hati dan sifat inginkan kebaikan pada manusia. Hari ini, orang Islam inginkan apa kepada seorang Islam lain? Kebaikan atau kemusnahan? Kita ada apa: seeds of mercy or seeds of hate?
