Seize The Day As Tomorrow Is Not Yours!

Upon hearing about the death of a fellow Muslim, it suddenly struck me how very fleeting life is, and that I was only a twinkling of an eye away from where he is now.

Death is the reality from which none of us can escape.  It draws nearer every day, every hour, and every minute.  Therefore, I had to ask myself, if I were to die today, would I have done all that I could to ensure Allah's Favour, and to evade His Wrath. Unfortunately, for me, the answer was a resounding No!

At the end of the day, I ask myself, what good have I sent ahead for the benefit of my soul.  And again, the answers were usually very little.  Time, it seems, is moving by so quickly it seems just like yesterday that we started the "New Year," yet we are already almost a third of the way through it.  A month seems like a week, a week seems like an hour and an hour feels like just minutes.  This is why I have resolved to try my utmost, with the aid of Allah to take advantage of every opportunity to do good deeds, and not to put off until later, what I can do now.  Death is coming, are you ready?
Allah says,
"Every soul shall have a taste of death, and only on the Day of judgement shall you be paid your full recompense.  Only those who are saved far from the Fire, and admitted to the Garden will have succeeded.  For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception."
[Ali 'Imran:185].  

It is so easy for us to get caught up in the comings and goings of our everyday lives that we tend to forget that we do not have forever in this worldly life, and get distracted away from our true aim and purpose.  We tend to forget that we are here to worship Allah and to avail ourselves of the various opportunities He gives us to store up for ourselves treasures in Heaven. 
For He, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, also says,
"O you who believe! Revere Allah, and let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow; and revere Allah.  Allah is well Aware of what you do.  And be not like those who forgot (disobeyed) Allah, and He caused them to forget themselves.  Those are the disobedient.  Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of Jannah.  It is the dwellers of Jannah who will be successful."
[Al-Hasyr:18-20]

He also tells us that we do not know the hour of our own deaths, or in what land we will die. But He through His unending Mercy toward us, has given us ways to prepare for the inevitable now, because once we’ve passed from this life to the next, there is no coming back to do the things we should have done.
For Allah says,
"Until death comes to one of them, he says, 'My Lord, send me back. Perhaps I may do good in that which I have left behind.' No, it is but a word that he speaks, and behind them is a Barzakh until the day when they are raised up."
[Al-Mu'minun:99-100]

Allah has given us ways to protect ourselves from the punishment of the grave. One of these ways is by fighting in the Cause of Allah.
It is reported that a man asked the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, "O Messenger of Allah, why are all the believers tested in the graves except a martyr?" He, sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, said, "The flashing of swords over his head was a sufficient test for him."
(An-Nasa’i)

This may be difficult for most of us to do in these days and the current age, but Allah has provided us with many other ways to earn ease in the next life. These include reciting Surah al Mulk, because the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, said,
"Surah Tabarak is the protector from the torment of the grave." (Al-Hakim).

The Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, also said,
"When a human being dies, all of his deeds are terminated except for three types: an ongoing sadaqah, knowledge of Islam from which others benefit, and a righteous child who makes Doa for him."
(Muslim)

Another way to earn a continuing reward is by reviving a lost Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wasallam.
He, sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, said,
"He who initiates in Islam a good way gets his reward for it, as well as rewards similar to those who follow him into it, without reducing any of their rewards."
(Muslim)

For those of us who know of fellow Muslims who have already begun their journey, or who are about to enter, into the next life, there are things we can do to make the transition easier, Insya Allah. These include performing the Janazah prayer for the deceased, fulfilling the deceased's vows, payment of the deceased's debts and the supplications of the Muslims.

This life is fleeting! Death is coming! Let us get ready!

Travelling anywhere?

Alhamdulillah, dah selamat tiba di Dublin from Madrid 2 hr lepas... perasaan? bercampur baur.... sedih, gembira, seronok, bengang pn ade....(kenapa? nnt kite cite kemudian...)

Well, i have something to share especially for those who are going to travel somewhere... patutnye bende ni ditulis before my departure to Madrid, tapi haritu x sempat... kelam kabut... apepun, semoga ia bermanfaat!! =D

From The Kitab of ettiquette of travelling, Riyadh-us-Soliheen:

  1. THE DESIRABILITY OF UNDERTAKING A JOURNEY IN A GROUP AND APPOINTING A LEADER.
'Amr bin Shu'ayb r.a. reported:
Allah's messenger s.a.w. said, "A single rider is (acompanied with) Satan and two riders are (accompanied with) two Satans. Three riders form a group."
[Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i]

Commentary:
The hadeeth tells us that at least 3 travelling companions are preferable, because if they are only two, one may drop due to some emergency and the other will remain alone. One or two riders (travellers) have been described in the Hadeeth as "accompanied with Satan" and this means that they can hardly escaped from the devil. However, in case of three, they will remain immune from satanic insinuations.


Abu Sa'id al-Khudry and Abu Hurairah r.a. reported:
Allah's messenger S.a.w. said, "When three persons set out a journey, they should appoint one of them as their leader."
[Abu Dawud - Hasan]

Commentary:
Choosing anyone as leader means that a journey should be undertaken under his guidance and instructions. This has many benefits. The person to be appointed as a leader over a group of travellers, should fulfill certain important conditions, including the fact that he should be the most knowledgeable in religious matters and travelling conditions.


    2.   SUPPLICATION AT THE TIME OF RIDING
  
Ibn 'Umar r.a. reported:
Whenever Rasulullah s.a.w. mounted his camel for setting out on a journey, he would recite: "Far removed fom imperfection is The One Who has made this subservient to us, for we have no power to subjugate it, and certainly to our Rabb shal we return. O Allah, we ask You during this journey of ours for righteousness, piety and such deeds are pleasing to You. O Allah, make easy for us this journey of ours and make the distance short for us. O Allah, You are our Companion during the journey and the Guardian of the family and the property in our absence. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travelling, inhappiness connected with ghastly scenes and evil turns in proerty and family." When he returned, he recited this supplication making addition of these words: "We are returning in safety, turning to our Rabb, worshiiping Him and praising Him."
[Muslim}

Commentary:
This is a ver comprehensice prayer. Man is not safe fro dangers during in ajourney and his absece, safety of his household may worry him, too. In this prayer, Allah is entreated to ensure the safety of the two in most effective words. And none can harm that person who comes under the Watch and Protection of Allah. This prayer should be recited upon starting on a journey as well as returning from it.

    3.   SUPLICATION ON ALIGHTING AT A HALT

Khawlah bint Hakeem r.a. reported:
I heard Rasulullah s.a.w. saying, "Whosoever alights somewhere and says: 'I seek refuge with the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,' nothing will harm him until he leaves that place."
[Muslim]

Commentary:
Wherever and whenever we stay, be it at night or in the day time, for a short or long duration, we should recite this supplication.

=========================

Kesimpulan:
Travel in a group of three or more, especially for Musleemah. (but not too many, sbb nnt maybe susah nk gerak...) perpempuanni suke n mudah sket org nk kacau... lagi2 kalau yg rravel tu so-called 'comel' belaka... mmg seronok org nk kenakan... During our journey, alhamdulillah, wpn 3 org, mmg survive je. Tapi ade gk beberapa gangguan yg tidak dpt dielakkan... maybe kalau ramai2 sket, n besa2 sket, org takdela berani sgt nk kacau kot... InsyaAllah
Mengenai appointing a leader, mungkin kdg2 susah nk cari geng yg mmg good in religious thigie as well as travelling skills, especially if the no. of people in a group is 3 or 4. Mungkin boleh dibahagi2kan tugas... sorg in-charge pasal tpt solat, sorg destinasi yg nk dituju or lawati, sorg transport n tpt tinggal... n yg penting, tolak ansur dan kerjasama... insyaAllah everything will be going fine and smooth.
Doa, jgn sekali2 lupe... krn hanya Allah shj tpt bergantung bg org2 mukmeen. Jgn tunggu bile ade kesukaran baru nk berdoa... ;P

WaLLahu A'lam.

Rahmat Ujian

Alhamdulillah, exam MCQ Renal Biology baru selesai pagi tadi. mujur next MCQ exam after our mid-sem break, kira2 sebulan lagi... hehe, boleh la nak berfoya-foya... =D

well, sejak seminggu dua sebelum exam ni, aku dah jadi pendengar setia radio MISG. Sepanjang masa kat umah, selain solat, ngaji dan tido, dendangan nasyeed dari radio aku biarkan berkumandang... maklumla, unlimited access to internet. =D

Aku dah jatuh cinta pada satu lagu yg pada mulanya, aku tak pernah sedar kewujudannya walaupun nasyid tu termasuk dlm one of the most frequent song requested by the listener. Mungkin krn aku x pernah berpeluang utk menghayati bait2 liriknya..
Until one day, time sorg2 b4 class... tibe2 ayat ni mencecah gegendang telinga aku: "harus ada rasa bersyukur disetiap kali ujian melanda,itu jelasnya membuktikan Allah mengasihimu setiap masa, diuji tahap keimanan sedangkan ramai terbiar dilalaikan..."
Rangkap pendek tu benar2 berjaya memancing hati aku untuk terus mendengar... sejak tu aku berusaha cari, lagu ape ni? Mujur mmg aku dh recognise suara n style ni kepunyaan Mestica.. hehe... well, here goes, Rahmat Ujian, by Mestica.


Dalam derita ada bahagia

dalam gembira mungkin terselit duka
tak siapa tahu
tak siapa pinta ujian bertamu

Bibir mudah mengucap sabar
tapi hatilah yang remuk menderita
insan memandang
mempunyai pelbagai tafsiran

Segala takdir
terimalah dengan hati yang terbuka
walau terseksa ada hikmahnya

Harus ada rasa bersyukur
disetiap kali ujian menjelma
itu jelasnya membuktikan
Allah mengasihimu setiap masa
Diuji tahap keimanan
Sedangkan ramai terbiar dilalaikan
hanya yang terpilih sahaja
antara berjuta mendapat rahmatnya

Allah rindu mendengarkan
rintihanmu berpanjangan
Bersyukurlah dan tabahlah
menghadapi segala ujian diberi
Maka bersyukurlah selalu


Hmm... setelah beberapa kali aku hayati nasyid ni, tiba2 rasa x sedap hati dgr satu rangkap ni: "Allah rindu mendengarkan rintihanmu berpanjangan". Benarkah Allah rindu? Adakah rindu tu sifat Allah?

But before that, to all Mestica fan, or Mestica itself, if it happens that u come across this, no offence eh! Tak berniat utk mengguris mana2 pihak. Cuma mengekspreskan pendapat peribadi aku...

Daripada pemahaman aku, rindu itu lebih kurang mcm satu keinginan yg memuncak untuk memperoleh sesuatu. Dan apabila x berjaya memperolehnya, seolah2 hati si perindu akan terbeban dgn perasaan tu. Teringat2, serba tak kena... Tapi tak taula, kalau dari segi bahasa yg sebenar, mungkin lain ertinya. Aku pn x berpeluang utk cek maknanya yg betul... kamus dewan bahasa takde.. hehe...

Seandainya maksud kalimah 'rindu' tu mirip kpd apa yg aku paham, pd pndpt aku, sifat itu tak layak bagi Allah. Sbb kalau kita imbas balik firmanNya dlm al-Quran;

"Muhammad is no more than an apostle: many were the apostle that passed away before Him. if He died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels? if any did turn back on His heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah. but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude" [Q- 3:144]

Dgn kata lain, kalau dlm kes nasyid ni, jika kita tak meminta pada Allah, tidak merintih padaNya, Allah takkan rugi apa2 pun. Tapi, kalau dikatakan Allah mengasihi barangsiapa yg meminta kpdNya, aku setuju. Sbb He is the LOVETH. Tapi bukan perindu.

Hmm... tapi aku tak nafikan, penggunaan kalimah "rindu" tu memberi impak lebih besar kpd pendengar2 berbanding dgn kalimah "kasih", "sayang" - termasuk aku pada mulanya. Rasa ada sense of belonging... Terasa ada hubungan cinta antara Tuhan dan hamba... Rasa macam, "Allah pn rindukan doa kita, siapa pula kita utk menolak cintaNya?"

Ntah, aku tak pasti wajarkah aku mempertikaikan penggunaan bahasa. krn aku tahu, bahasa juga memainkan peranan penting untuk memancing dan memberi kesan langsung kpd pembaca dan pendengar. Tapi bagaimana dgn kesan thdp aqidah? Mungkin bg sesiapa yg benar2 faham ttg apa yg cuba disampaikan di situ, tak mengapa. tapi bagi yg mungkin x paham hakikat asma' Allah wa sifatuh, tak mustahil akan anggap Allah mmg benar2 rindukan hambaNya...
Apepun, harap diperbetulkan jika aku tersilap...

WaLLahu a'lam.

Add up your BOYCOTT list!

Kehangatan isu penghinaan terhadap umat islam melalui karikatur Nabi Muhammad s.a.w masih terasa biarpun isu ini telah lama berlaku dan di sesetengah tempat sudah mulai sejuk. Mungkin juga di sesetengah negara (Malaysia??) dan bagi sesetengah orang, isu ni bukanlah satu yang perlu diperbesarkan. (isu hiburan lebih besar, barangkali? huhu~) Biarlah... yang penting, kita sendiri ada sensitiviti terhadap agama kita sendiri dan sedar akan tanggungjawab kita untuk mempertahankan agama Allah. (Alhamdulillah... insyaAllah!)

Sebagai pelajar, mungkin tidak banyak yg dpt kita lakukan (banyak sebenarnye!) untuk kita tunjukkan protes terhadap penyebaran karikatur terkutuk tu. Tapi sharusnya, kita cuba sedaya mungkin untuk terus laksanakan usaha yang termampu. Sekurang2nya, salah satu daripada saranan2 Al-`Allamah Shaykh Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi dalam khutbah Jumaat di Doha baru2 ni:

Petikan akhbar dlm IslamOnline

  • Kerajaan dan Umat negara-negara Islam dan Arab hendaklah memberi tekanan kepada organisasi antarabangsa agar diwujudkan undang-undang ini, bukan sahaja mendapatkan kema'afan dari akhbar-akhbar tersebut, tetapi memberi peluang kepada orang-orang Islam menulis di akhbar-akhbar mereka selama 1 bulan bagi mempertahankan Nabi

  • Adalah menjadi kewajipan umat Islam didalam perkara ini menjalankan BOIKOT keatas semua barangan-barangan dari negara-negara yang berani menghina Rasulullah ; kerana setiap sen dari pembelian barangan tersebut akan pergi kepada kerja-kerja ini. Tugas Kerajaan adalah melakukan BOIKOT POLITIK dengan cara menarik balik Duta dari Denmark, dan menutup kedutaan mereka di tempat mereka.

  • Umat Islam hendaklah merasa marah dan cemburu terhadap Agama dan Nabinya, dan mempamerkan bahawa mereka tidak dapat menerima perkara-perkara seperti ini.

  • Beliau beranggapan bahawa: Ini adalah Fardu Ain keatas setiap orang Islam disemua tempat, dengan membaca hadith: Demi DiriKu ditanganNya, Tidak beriman seseorang itu sehingga dia mencintaiKu lebih dari Bapa, Anaknya dan keseluruhan manusia.

  • Beliau memberi amaran kepada kerajaan-kerajaan Arab agar jangan memisahkan diri dari rakyatnya, katanya : mereka hendaklah berdiri dibelakang rakyatnya seperti berada didalam sebuah kapal yang sama...keatas orang Islam beliau menyeru agar bersatu bagi berhadapan dengan musuhnya, dan membuktikan bahawa mereka menjawab penghinaan yang dilontarkan keatas Nabi dan maruah mereka.

  • Kepada Kerajaan negara-negara Barat beliau berkata : mereka tahu akan sikap prokrastinasi atau sokongan mereka keatas akhbar-akhbar ini, atau kerajaan-kerajaan mereka membentuk TERRORISME yang mereka sendiri mendakwa menentangnya, dan jika kerajaan mereka tidak bertindak, maka akan menjadi alasan kepada individu-individu tertentu yang akan mengambil tindakan sendiri menuntut bela keatas Nabi mereka, dan mereka akan melakukan keganasan-keganasan yang baru.

  • Beliau mengajak semua orang Islam agar: tidak mencampur-adukkan apa yang berlaku dengan orang-orang Kristian yang hidup dinegara kita.

  • Keatas akhbar-akhbar Eropah yang melakukan penerbitan tersebut kata beliau : ini merupakan jenayah yang paling teruk yang tidak prihatin terhadap manusia, tetapi mencederakan maruah dan kehormatan ketas billion umat Islam.

  • Mengenai justifikasi mereka terhadap kebebasan memberi pendapat, beliau berkata: ini merupakan satu tindakan yang kurang ajar yang tidak boleh kita terima dari apa-apa alasan mereka, dan perkara penghinaan ini tidak mungkin dapat mereka lakukan keatas keluarga dan ibu mereka atas nama kebebasan berfikir dan tidak juga dari demokrasi.

    'Ashura - jom puasa!

    Alhamdulillah, dah seminggu masuk tahun baru dlm kalendar hijriyah/qamariyah = 1427. Hari ni, (Rabu) 8 Februari 2006 bersamaan dgn 9 Muharram 1427. So, esok adalah hari `Asyura' (bermaksud hari ke sepuluh dlm bulan Muharram). Maka, jom kite sama-sama menyahut seruan baginda Nabi Muhammad s.a.w utk berpuasa...

    Narrated by Ibn Abbas (r.a.):
    When Allah's Messenger (s.a.w) came to Medina, he found (the Jews) fasting on the day of 'Ashura' (i.e. 10th of Muharram). They used to say: "This is a great day on which Allah saved Moses and drowned the folk of Pharaoh. Moses observed the fast on this day, as a sign of gratitude to Allah." The Prophet said, "I am closer to Moses than they." So, he observed the fast (on that day) and ordered the Muslims to fast on it.
    [Sahih Bukhari Vol: 4 No. 609]

    Pada mulanya, puasa pada hari `Asyura' wajib ke atas semua Musleem, tetapi setelah disyari'atkan puasa ramadhan, maka puasa pada hari `Asyura' tidak lagi wajib, sebaliknya hanya mustahab (sunat).

    Narrated by Aisha (r.a.):
    The people used to fast on 'Ashura (the tenth day of the month of Muharram)before the fasting of Ramadan was made obligatory. And on that day the Ka'ba used to be covered with a cover. When Allah made the fasting of the month of Ramadan compulsory, Allah's Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alaihi wasallam)said, "Whoever wishes to fast (on the day of 'Ashura') may do so; and whoever wishes to leave it can do so."
    [Sahih Bukhari Vol 2 No. 662, Sahih Muslim Book 6, No. 2518]

    Disebabkan kaum Yahudi juga berpuasa pada hari tersebut, maka Rasulullah menganjurkan agar umat Islam turut berpuasa pada 9 Muharram bagi membezakan antara puasa umat Islam dan puasa org Yahudi. (maka, dipanggil hari tersebut sebagai hari tasu`aa')

    Ibn 'Abbas reported that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) fasted on the day of 'Ashura and commanded that it should he observed as a fast, they (his Companions) said to him: Messenger of Allah, it is a day which the Jews and Christians hold in high esteem. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When the next year comes, God willing, we would observe fast on the 9th But the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) died before the advent of the next year.
    [Sahih Muslim. Book 6, No. 2528]

    Abu Qatada al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) felt annoyed. Thereupon 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) said: We are pleased with Allah as the Lord, with Islam as our Code of Life, with Muhammad as the Messenger and with our pledge (to you for willing and cheerful submission) as a (sacred) commitment. He was then asked about perpetual fasting, whereupon he said: He neither fasted nor did he break it, or he did not fast and he did not break it. He was then asked about fasting for two days and breaking one day. He (the Holy Prophet) said: And who has strength enough to do it? He was asked about fasting for a day and breaking for two days, whereupon he said: May Allah bestow upon us strength to do it. He was then asked about fasting for a day and breaking on the other, whereupon he said: That is the fasting of my brother David (peace be upon him). He was then asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It was the day on which I was born. on which I was commissioned with prophethood or revelation was sent to me, (and he further) said: Three days' fasting every month and of the whole of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fast. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year.
    [Sahih Muslim Book 6, Number 2603]

    Begitu besarnya nikmat dan sifat ar-rahman Allah kpd hamba-Nya. Kalau kita masih angkuh untuk bersyukur, alangkah ruginya! Hmm.. ape lagi? Jom puasa... Moga2 ibadah kita seharian diterima Allah. Ameen. ;D

    sumber>> al-ahkam.net, hadith.al-islam.com

    p/s: Haritu dgr ceramah, dianjurkan juga berpuasa pada 11 Muharram (bagi yg terlepas 9 Muharram) tapi setelah mencari2 hadith2 yg berkaitan dgnnya, belum berjumpa. So, kalau ade yg telah terjumpa, hopefully leh share :D

    Katun?

    The front page of today's guardian newspaper. Isu Nabi Muhammad yg dijelmakan dlm kartun masih panas, seperti pisang goreng yg baru ditus keluar  dr kuali. (huhu, tetibe terliur nk mkn goreng pisang.. hehe)

    Marah, memang marah, tapi sekurang2nya harus kita bersyukur, nampaknya umat Islam masih ada sensitiviti terhadap agamanya. Barangkali isu2 perang seperti di palastine, Iraq dan negara2 lain, isu2 pencabulan hak2 sebagai seorang Muslim masih belum cukup besar bagi kita untuk bertindak.

    Hmm.. tak sabar menanti, melihat tindakan dr negaraku Malaysia yg tercinta.... so far, yg diumumkan di dada akhbar luar negeri, reaksi2 negara2 di middle east, dan indonesia. Negara kita bila pula?? huhu~

    Biarlah... kunantikan pembaharuan dlm tampuk pimpinan Malaydia dari kejauhan...

    Cartoon controversy spreads throughout Muslim world

    Ewen MacAskill, Sandra Laville and Luke Harding in Berlin
    Saturday February 4, 2006

    The Guardian Governments across Europe, the Middle East and Asia were reluctantly sucked into the Danish cartoon row yesterday as hundreds of thousands of Muslims took to the streets to protest.The dispute spread to London for the first time. More than 500 people, led by the extremist group al-Ghuraba, formerly al-Mujahiroun, marched to the Danish embassy in Knightsbridge carrying banners calling on Muslims to "massacre" those who insult Islam and chanting: "Britain, you will pay, 7/7 on its way."

    Pakistan and Turkey condemned publication of the satirical drawings of the prophet Muhammad, originally published in a Danish newspaper. Underlining the extent of the international divide over the issue, the German government pointedly defended the right of papers across Europe to publish the cartoons, including four in Germany. But the British government, in an unusual divergence from the rest of Europe on such issues, sided with Pakistan and Turkey.

    Dia Yang Tersenyum...

    Hmm... lately aku agak tertekan. Kenapa? ntah. Banyak sekali anasir2 yang bermain-main di minda yang sering membuah resah dalam jiwa aku...
    Exam yg bakal tiba (bahkan bakal sering bertamu dlm hidup UCDians walau hadirnya tidak pernah diundang), result yg dah keluar(?), konflik2 intrinsik dan ekstrinsik, emosi yang suka benar mengikut alunan ombak...
    Ya, betapa sukar untuk mengawal emosi jika kita sendiri tiada motivasi diri... i.e. ilmu, iman yg utuh dan amal yg berterusan. ah, indahnya kalau benar aku miliki semua itu!

    Iman yang hanya senipis kulit bawang, dalam sekerdipan mata bisa ia tercarik... koyak!

    Wa li ya na'uzubiLLah... [huhu.. ape yg aku dah repekkan neh?] abaikan...
    Well, ni kerja aku masa tension...
    Bila sedih hati tak mampu aku kongsikan dgn sesiapa.... melainkan DIA... irham-ni ya Rahman!

    ====================

    Dia yang tersenyum

    Bagai sang pelangi
    Sekerdip renyai hujan reda
    Mengiring suria memancar sinar
    Mengarak pulang mendung petang

    Ibtisam...
    Bukanlah ia seorang penglipur
    penutur cereka hikayat silam
    Hanyalah ia sang pengukir bunga ria
    pada wajah-wajah lara

    Alangkah!
    Tatkala ribut datang bertandang
    Layar rabak dirempuh badai
    Kemudi pecah dilambung ombak
    Tidak kecamuk ia
    Terus mengemudi hingga
    ke destinasi pasti
    Sambil bibir menguntum senyum
    Mengatur kalam keramat
    "La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah"

    Tidak sesaat ia berduka
    Meski hati ditusuk pedih
    dek bilah belati derita
    Lidah lazim basah dialun zikruLLah
    Tenggelam dalam asyik
    Merisik redha Ilah

    Aku merenung sendiri
    Senyuman sabarnya
    saksi teguh tugu iman
    Memandu hati yang bungkam
    mencipta santun laku

    Dia yang tersenyum...
    Mengundang terbit si mentari
    di wajah kelam
    Memahat pergi segala daki
    Bersama senyumku yang terukir

    erm...

     
    Dah lama tak mencoretkan sesuatu (dah lama x mengarut =D) kat sini sejak exam. Alhamdulillah, exam dah selesai, PUISI n PMS dah selesai, trip ke UK juga sudah tamat, dan virus2 serta bakteria yg menunjukkan belangnya sepulangnya aku dari UK ke Dublin juga hampir luput kekuatannya setelah diserang oleh tentera2 'antibody'ku. Tak sabar nak memanfaatkan hari2 akhir cuti sebelum semester yg dijangka hectic bermula!

    Banyak sebenarnya peristiwa2 dan perkara2 gembira + sedih + menyayat hati + mengharukan yg ingin dicurahkan... tapi, ntah, belum ada kesempatan...
    anyway, for now, just nk share hadith menarik yg secara tak langsung dibincangkan dlm usrah last wednesday... kebetulan, jumpa dlm Riyadh-us-Soliheen tadi...

    Abu Hurayrah r.a.h. reported: Allah's Messenger PBUH said:
    "Allah says: 'I am just as my slave thinks of Me when he remembers Me.' By Allah! Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than one of you who unexpectedly finds in the desert his lost camel. 'He who comes closer to Me one span, I come closer to him a cubit; and he who comes closer to Me a cubit, I come closer to him a fathom; and if he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.'"
    [Sahih Bukhari & Muslim]

    Tertarik dgn unta yg dibuat perbandingan. Kenapa unta yg hilang? bukan kuda, atau binatang lain? Hmm... teringat ceramah dulu2 kat DQ. Perihal unta liar. Once hilang,untuk menjumpainya semula is almost impossible. Lebih2 lagi di tanah arab yg dikelilingi oleh padang pasir yg luas... Kalaulah unta yg hilang itu dijumpai semula, pastinya si empunya unta tu gembira tak terhingga... Just imagine you lost something precious. something u love and care about it, and u never expect to find it back. But amazingly, it happens. You manage to find it. What would you feel? You must be on top of the world! Bayangkan, kasih sayang Allah melebihi kegembiraan itu. Subhan-Allah!

    Sungguh, sesiapa yg mengasihi dan mencintai Allah, nescaya dia takkan 'bertepuk sebelah tgn'... InsyaAllah, Allah akan membalasnya dengan kasih sayang yg berlipat ganda. Ma-sha' Allah...Cuma mungkin, bg setiap hamba, bentuk kasih sayang Allah itu berbeza2...
    Mudah2an kita mampu menjadi pencinta-Nya yang ikhlas dan tegolong dlm hamba yg dicintai-Nya... Ameen.

    Allah the Exalted says:
    "(and the man who believed said:)'...and my affair I leave it to Allah. Verily, Allah is the All-Seer of (His) slaves.' So Allah saved Him from the evils that they plotted (against him.)"
    (QS, 40:44-45)

    Anas reported: Allah's Messenger PBUH said:
    "Allah, the Exalted has said: 'O son of Adam, I forgive you as long as you pray to Me and hope for My forgiveness, whatever sins you have committed. O son of Adam, I do not care if your sins reach the height of the Heaven, then you asked for My forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you come to Me with and earth load of sins, and meet Me associating nothing Me, I would match it with and earthload of forgiveness.'"
    [At-Tirmidhi ~ Hadith Hasan]

    Teringat satu analogy oleh Kak Huda, naqeebah usrah kt sini - sifat Ghafur Allah  umpama kulit yg menutupi isi di dlmnya. As a medic student who is forced to see, touch and dissect the cadaver, mungkin boleh bayangkan betapa kulit yg cantik berjaya menutupi ke'jelek'an isi yg terdiri drp otot, blood vessels, nerves, organs, lymphs and so on.... Plus the unpleasent smell... huhu~



    isi tanpa kulit??




    Kulit irish classmate aku yg telah dieksploitasi... huhu~


    Indahnya ciptaan Allah, begitu jua indahnya sifat Ghafur Allah. Dihijabkan dosa hambaNya dengan pengampunan. So, if we committed any sins in ignorance and carelessness, NEVER lose our hope in Allah's Mercy. If we repents (taubat) wholeheartedly for our sins, makes penitence for them and besg Allah's forgiveness, InsyaAllah we will certainly find Allah's Mecy open for us.
    Ya Allah, moga2 kami tergolong dlm golongan hambaMu yg diterima taubatnya.... Ameen

    Di kala hati dibeban rindu...

    Just wanna share my 2 hours work yg tak seberapa di kala tension...
    dan tatkala kerinduan pada bandar al-Mukarramah yg memuncak...

    ada org kata, sajak ni merupakan angan2 aku semata... biarlah, sekurang2nya angan2 ini yg bakal menaikkan semangat dan usaha aku untuk berusaha menjejakkan kaki ke tanah haram... tanah suci Makkah. InsyaAllah, moga-moga dengan izinNya, kita semua ditakdirkan untuk hadir ke rumah barakah ini.... Ameen.


    Lambaian Kaabah  

    Labbay-ka Allahumma Labbayk
    Labbay-ka La Syareeka La-ka Labbayk
    Inna al-hamda Wa an-Ni'mata
    La-ka Wa al-Mulk, La Syareeka Lak!

    Gema talbiah menghiasi gelap malam
    Lambaian Kaabah menggamit rindu
    Mewarnai tasik hati yang dahulu gersang

    Sungguh! Pujian hanya untuk-Mu
    Pemilik segala kekayaan
    Raja segala raja
    di langit dan di Bumi
    Demi Tuhan, tiada sekutu bagi-Mu!

    Ya Rahman,
    Dengarkanlah rayuan nuraniku
    Telah ku sahut seruan-Mu
    Ku bisikkan kalimah rindu
    Ingin kumiliki al-Hubb yang Abadi

    Teguh qiyam ku menghadap istana agung
    Dalam lautan manusia menadah doa
    Masihkah terbuka gerbang maghfirah
    Sedang aku seorang ma'asi yang
    terlalu dikit sujudnya?

    Biarkan…
    Biar basah bumi lahirnya anbiya'
    dek hujan munajat
    Kerna, tak tertanggung lagi beban noda
    Walau tiada arifku
    Bisakah luntur ia dari hati
    Suci sejernih segaran zam-zam?

    Sedar aku tiada layak menghuni al-Firdausi
    Dalam kerendahan ku sembahkan ruku'
    Lazim mendamba mercu kasih yang hakiki
    Hingga keringat membawa pergi segala dosa

    Allahumma…
    Andai esok ditakdirkan bertemu-Mu di Mahsyar
    Moga 'Arafah menjadi saksi
    Aku bukan lagi ghafilun.
