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...

ASAS-ASAS DAKWAH YANG PASTI BERKESAN !

Asas-asas Dakwah yang pasti berkesan!

  1. Diri bukan Harta
  2. Gerak bukan Tulisan
  3. Infradi dan Ijtimai bukan Himpunan besar-besaran
  4. Senyap-senyap bukan Propaganda
  5. Tawadhu' bukan Ananiah
  6. Akar bukan Ranting
  7. Khabar Gembira bukan Menakut-nakutkan atau Amaran atau Ancaman
  8. Tamsil bukan Tafsir
  9. Perdamaian bukan Peperangan
  10. Satu Hati dan Kasih Sayang bukan Perpecahan
  11. Risau Dalam Hati bukan Fikir Yang Tinggi-tinggi

Apa dan bagaimana pula asas yang "pendakwah-pendakwah" hari ini ada atau gunakan?

SIFAT-SIFAT DA'I YANG TULIN

Inilah sifat-sifat satu orang Da'i atau pendakwah yang tulin!


Muhabbah (sayang) pada seluroh makhluk ( manusia, binatang dan lain2)

Rela berkorban untuk kepentingan agama

Menggunakan satu cara sahaja iaitu cara Rasuluullah s.a.w

Menisbatkan (mensabitkan) kejayaan, kebahagiaan dunia akhirat hanya kepada Allah s.w.t

Sabar dalam menghadapi cubaan/ujian

Tidak putus asa dalam menghadapi cubaan/ujian

Istiqomah seperti unta (tahan lama-lama, jauh-jauh dan susah-susah dll)

Tawadhu' seperti bumi (orang pijak, orang ludah diam dan tunduk sahaja)

Teguh - kukuh seperti gunung (steadfast, rock steady)

Bergerak memberi manfaat seperti matahari (bring light and life)

Berwawasan luas seperti langit (berkeinginan dapat jumpa lebih ramai lagi, di mana-mana)

Istighfar setiap kali selesai beramal

Orang yang tidak memiliki sifat-sifat ini bukan Da'i atau pendakwah walaupun dia mendakwa dia seorang pendakwah dan semua orang bersetuju!

BOLEHKAH ORANG ISLAM HAYATI AYAT-AYAT QURAN DENGAN BERSENANG-SENANG DI RUMAH?

Ayat-ayat Quran diturunkan sedikit demi sedikit dan setiap ayat yang turun itu ada asbabnya dan ada ditujukan kepada seseorang tertentu. Ayat-ayat Quran diturunkan kepada Nabi s.a.w dan Sahabat-sahabat sedang mereka berada di jalan Allah s.w.t. Ayat-ayat Quran diturunkan kerana sesuatu permasalahan, kerana sesuatu soalan atau sesuatu keadaan.

Bagaimanakah orang-orang Islam hari ini dapat menghayatai ayat-ayat yang Allah s.w.t turunkan dan Hadith-hadith yang Nabi s.a.w perkatakan semasa Nabi s.a.w dan Sahabat-sahabat sedang berdakwah di Mekah, sedang berkorban di Madinah, sedang berperang di Uhud, sedang berjihad di Badar , sedang bersusah payah di Hudaibiyah dan meninggalkan segala-galanya semasa Hijrah dengan orang-orang Islam itu sendiri bersenang-senang membaca kitab di dalam rumah dengan anak isteri tanpa apa-apa kesusahan?

Bolehkah kita memahami sesuatu atau menghayatai sesuatu tanpa kita sendiri cuba "berada" di dalam keadaan itu? Bagaimanakah orang Islam hendak faham ayat-ayat Quran tentang iman jika mereka tidak letakkan diri mereka di dalam suasana dimana iman mereka betul-betul teruji?
