ONLY WITH HIDAYAH WILL WE BE ABLE TO EMULATE THE SAHABAH!

Question 1- Do you want to have true Iman (Faith) so that you are 100% convinced that only Allah s.w.t is Powerful?

Question 2- Do you want to have the strength to be able to perform your five mandatory prayers the way of the Sunnah of Muhammad s.a.w - right on time, at a place where azan is called, in congregation and able to get the 1st takbir with the Imam anywhere, in whatever situation, every single time, every single day till you die?

Question 3- Do you want to be able to learn, understand, be convinced and perform all ilm of deen or knowledge, be it masail or fadhail? Do you want to do all your amaal the way shown by the Sunnah of Muhammad s.a.w and be conviced of the promises of Allah s.w.t behind that amal?

Question 4- Do you want to cleanse your heart with regards to relationship with fellow Muslims? Would you like to be able to have good right thoughts about your Muslim friends, love and respect them purely for the sake of Allah s.w.t and Rasul s.a.w?

Question 5 -Do you want to amaal with ikhlas purely to please Allah s.w.t and rasul s.a.w?

Question 6 - Do you want to be able to sacrifice your life, your time and your wealth for Allah s.w.t and Rasul s.a.w?

What are all these questions? Whay was it being asked? Why is it that we were asked to emulate or gain those traits? Iman, steadfastness in solat, knowledgable on Allah 's commands, continuous remembrance of Allah s.w.t, ikraam other Muslims, ikhlasa and sacrificng for islam are traits of the Sahabah! This are actually the traits of the Sahabah of Nabi s.a.w those whom Allah s.w.t had rendered His pleasure, blessings and pleased with! In fact, some of the Sahabahs were promised Jannah even while they are still living on Earth! Shouldn't all we muslims follow them and emulate them?

If we were to attain those traits and with that we may be given the same treatment by Allah s.w.t, we must have one important ingredient-hidayah. Hidayah is very expensive and it is in the hands of Allah s.w.t. Allah s.w.t is the ultimate owner and giver of hidayah!

We may ask-aren't we with hidayah now? Yes, we do have but what we have is NOT hidayah nur! Is it right for us to ask? Let's see. Do we have any of the traits mentioned here? If we said we do, how could the help of Allah is not with us anymore? Is Allah pleased with us? How do we get hidayah then? What are the prerequisites to attain hidayah nur from Allah s.w.t? For this, we must refer to Al Ankabut 69. We must expeience mujahaddah! We must sacrifice our self, time and wealth in the path of Allah s.w.t inviting all towards Allah s.w.t. This is the same tertib and tarbiah the Sahabah went through! What did they do 23 years with Nabi s.a.w in Mekah and Madinah? Dakwah ilallah!

DO WE HAVE TRAITS OF SHIRK IN US?

Sins that stemmed from our Amaal like alcohol, gambling, zina and even murder are forgivable sins! Yes! Allah s.w.t will forgive us if we do Taubat! However, sins that stemmed from our Iman or Faith like Shirk is unforgiven, not pardonable!

So, it is utterly important for all of us to think and worry about our state of Iman or Faith! Is there any traits of Shirk in our hearts? We can always check!

We said laailah hailallah-there is no ilah or sustainer but Allah! Is it true that we are 100% convinced that Allah s.w.t is the only sustainer. Do we still have other entity or makhluk that we deem necessary to save, sustain and give us protection? Can we 100% commit and admit that we do not have anyone who saves, sustains and protects us?

We said laa haula wala quwataila billah- we are powerless besides what is bestowed upon us by Allah s.w.t. Is it true that we rely solely on Allah s.w.t powers for us to perform or do anything? Have we totally denied the powers in money, weapons and Government?

We said hasbiallah hu wanikmal wakeel-Allah is enough as my abode. Is it true that we do not rely or depend on others? Do we seek directly to Allah when we need anything or do we have other abode we turn to?

Which of this two is more serious and damaging? Which of this two are we more worried of? Are we more worried about sins of others that shirk that may be residing in our hearts? Think...

WHAT ARE THE EFFORTS REQUIRED TO FULFILL THE DEMANDS OF OUR KALIMAH SYAHADAH?

Hajj, a one-in-a-lifetime religious command requires effort to fulfill its demands-one needs to save money, learn thr rituals, physically prepare ones health and spiritually cleansed up the hearts.

Zakat, a once-in-a-year religious command requires effort to fulfill its demands-income had to be calculated, paid and distributed.

Fasting, a 30-day-a-year religious command requires effort to fulfill its demands-one has to wake up for the pre-dawn meals, be in hunger, suppress all his wants and desires and pray the long tarawih at night.

Solat- a 5-times-a-day religious requirement requires effort to fulfill its demands-one has to leave their work, find a suitable place to pray, do abolution and try to concentrate in the prayers.

Syahadah, a declaration of faith, an all-time-needed religious command requires effort to fulfill its demand. However, apart from the four tenets of Islamw we mentioned above, if you ask any Muslim on what are and how is the effort to fulfill the demand of laailah hailallah, no one would be able to answer!

As we can see from the five tenets, the lesser the importance, the lesser is the frequency that it has to be performed. Zakat is required to be perforemed much more frequently than Hajj. Fasting is required to be done in much more frequency than Zakat. Solat is required to be done in much more frequency than Fasting! What about Kalimah Syahadah? Kalimah Syahadah is required to be present in one's heart much more frequently than five times a day! It is needed every second! In fact, all amaals will be rejected if one's heart is absent or void of Iman! See the importance? See the urgency? To this urgent matter, what effort have we given to fulfill its demand?

Are we saying that something that is required to be present every single second in our heartrs needs no effort for its fulfillment? Are we saying that something that is a pre-condition to the acceptance of all our good deeds is not important and needs no effort to enhance? Are we saying that something that is the key to Jannah is not important to be developed and improved? Are we saying that something that would be the first and only mandatory question checked by Malaikatul Maut is a small matter? Do we know that Malaikatul maut comes to visit us every 23 seconds?

The question now is: What is the effort to enhance our Iman or our Kalimah Syahadah? Is our Iman perfect? Has anyone challenged or test our faith? Are we confident at the state of our Iman? Are we sure we are the blessed and the accepted in the eyes of Allah s.w.t? Are we 100% convinced that Allah s.w.t is the Creator? If so, do we readily accept all that has been created or given for us? Are we 100% convinced that Allah s.w.t is the Sustainer? If so, are we sure that we do not need any other entity besides Allah to care, protect and serve us? Are we 100% convinced that Allah s.w.t is the Provider? Have we experienced leaving our family totally to Allah s.w.t like Ibrahim a.s. did to Ismail and Hajar? Have we totally surrendered our fate to Allah s.w.t? Have we dedicated our self, time and money to please Allah s.w.t and the Prophet, like the Sahabah?

How is our Iman? What is required to enhance and build our iman to the level and state of iman like Ibrahim a.s? What effort have we given in our quest to firm up our Iman? Can we answer Malaikat Maut question?

IS THERE ANY TRUTH IN WHAT THE MUSLIMS OF TODAY SAID?

Muslims said laailah hailallah, there is no ilah (sustainer) but Allah s.w.t but who do they se seek, hope, choose and want as their ilah ( sustainer) so much so that they are willing to offer their maximum effort and work tirelessly even to the extent of acting against the commands of Allah s.w.t to achieve it?

Muslims said laa haula wala quwatailah billah, there is no strength except for the strength bestowed upon me by Allah s.w.t (Muslims openly denying their strength in the face of Allah' s.w.t's powers) but they still insist and want to attain power as though Allah.s.w.t's strength and power is inadequate!

Muslims said hasbiallah hu wanikmal wakeel, Allah s.w.t is sufficient as their abode but to whom did they rely, depend and surrender their fate to?

Why aren't Muslims convinced that Allah s.w.t is their only sustainer, strengthener and abode?

Ulama' said the ayats of Quran was sent upon Muhammad s.a.w and his companions (the Sahabah). Each of the ayats of Quran descended in a certain situation, at a particular time, to a particular person or question and indeed, with it's own designated purpose and intent of which only Allah s.w.t knew! Also, 5/6 of the content of the Quran highlighted the Tauhid of Allah s.w.t, attributes of the Angels, the dakwat of all Anbiyas. the stories of those who reject the Call and stories of the obedient souls! In the Quran, only 1/6 of it covers the commands and Laws of Allah s.w.t! Ulama said, Fiqh is just a small portion of the Quran compared to the 5/6 which stressed, enforced and referred to the importance and virtues of Iman ( faith).

Ulama' asked: How could Muslims of today grasp and attain true Iman (faith) if they are void of the "learning" of what is inside 5/6th of the Quran, Hadith of Nabi s.a.w, Hayatus Sahabah (depictions of the life of the Sahabah, those whom Allah s.w.t had blessed and accepted as radhiallah huanhu, the true faithful, upon whom most ayat were descended to and impressed upon) and Asbabul Nuzul ( the reason each ayat were sent down)? How could they?

Muslims today were bombarded daily with Fiqh and the Laws of Allah s.w.t more than what's inside the 5/6th of the Quran, Hadith, Hayatus Sahabah and Asbabul Nuzul! What is the result? They became well-versed in every aspects of the Laws of Allah up to the extent that to them the Laws of Allah is all there is to this Deen of Islam! They have reached a state where they can indict everyone as apostates or Munafiqs for not accepting the Laws of Allah s.w.t! Isn't Solat a Law of Allah s.w.t? Do we need a written law to implement it? Wasn't it already performed without any Law decreeing it? Why this happened? Muslims today were instilled with mostly Fiqh and thoughts of ulama' akhir zaman. It was impressed upon them that they (the Muslims) must attain power so that the Laws of Allah s.w.t and Islam can be forced upon all, not that Allah s.w.t is the One that will bestow power upon whom Allah s.w.t wants ( i.e the Mukminin)! It was impressed upon them that only when Laws of Islam is implemented, Deen is upheld, complete and glorified! Is that all what Allah s.w.t wants and Muhammad s.a.w brought? Is that how Allah s.w.t ordered? Is that the Sunnah of Nabi s.a.w?

What is complete Deen? Isn't complete Deen encompasses Imaniat, Ibadat, Muamallat, Muasyarat and Akhlak of the insan or ummat? How is the Imaniat of the ummat today? How is the Ibadat of the ummat today? How is the Muamallat of the ummat today? How is the Muasyarat of the ummat today? How is the Akhlak of the ummat today? Ulama asked: Of this five traits, which MUST comes first? Can we attain Akhlak without Imaniat? Can we attain acceptance of our Ibadat without the right Imaniat? Is our Muamallat accepted if we are not a Mukmin and Abid of Allah s.w.t? , Isn't Muhammad s.a.w, the beholder of this Deen, sent to save all mankind from Jahannam by accepting Allah s.w.t as God? Can anyone be saved from Jahannam without Imaniat, Ibadat, Muamallat, Muasyarat and Akhlak? Do we measure Deen as how Allah s.w.t and Muhammad s.a.w measured Deen? Can a Kafir with a good "Akhlak" be better than a Muslim with weak "Imaniat"?

So, is there any truth in what the Muslims of today said? Is Allah s.w.t is their only sustainer, strengthener and abode?

UMMAT TODAY IS LIKE A DYING TREE!

The performance of Muslims today (their iman, ibadat, muammalat, muasyarat and akhlak) is in shambles. They don't look, act and think like their Prophet, Muhammad s.a.w anymore. They have committed all types of sins and crimes. We can talk all day long of this ummats predicaments. I am not here to address the problem. Anyone can address the problems of this ummat! It is mere talk! Talk is cheap!

Ulama said, the ummat of today is like a dying tree which has few yellowish leaves, bears no fruits anymore and weak branches. It is still a living tree though despite it's poor condition! Ulama gave an explaination on the state and fate of this ummat using this analogy and gave an example of how two types of person trying to salvage or "help" this tree out of it's doldrums!

To this tree, came two person.

The 1st person looks at the tree and was angry! He went to get green paint and painted the leaves! He had also, with a loud voice, scolded the branches for not producing fruits. He looked around and blamed the ground too for not being nourishing! He blames the rain, the sunshine and everything else he could put a blame on!

The 2nd person looks at the tree and was sad. He quietly went to the drain to fetch some muddy manure, get some cow dung and slowly pelt it at the roots of the tree. He then looked for a stream, fetch some water and poured it over at the roots! He then sighed and blamed himself - if I were to come earlier and cared for this tree, it wouldn't be like this!

Ulama asked: Of the two, who is doing the intelligent and right thing? Ulama asked: Today, is anyone doing what the 2nd person is doing?
