Should I advise him

Question: What is the ruling if I see a person committing a sin and I do not advise him with the excuse that he knows the ruling (that what he is doing is haram)?

The Mufti Shaykh Abdul Aziz: The person commits a sin while he knows, but this is from the ignorance of man. Thus the ignorance dominates his heart during the time he practices the sin. Therefore he forgets the punishment of Allah, and he forgets the threat of Allah. Allah the Exalted said:

إِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ

The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance (Soorah AnNisa 4:17)

Thus He described them with ignorance even if they were aware of it, but during the time he engages in the sin and falls into it ignorance overcomes his heart.Thus he forgets the greatness of Allah, and the complete and perfect knowledge of Allah, and that Allah is observing him, and that Allah sees him, and He knows his secrets and that which he does openly. But the situations caused him to forget everything.

Therefore it is a must that he is advised, and warned from the Anger of Allah, so that you can perform the obligation which is upon you by calling him to Allah. And whoever from amongst you sees an evil then let him change it with his hand, and if he is not able then let him change it with his tongue, and if he is not able, then with his heart; and that is the weakest of faith.

Reading Qur’aan during menses

Praise be to Allaah.

This is one of the issues on which the scholars, may Allaah have mercy on them, differed.

The majority of fuqahaa’ say that it is haraam for a woman to recite Qur’aan during her period, until she is taahir (pure) again. The only exceptions they make is in the case of dhikr (remembrance of Allaah) and phrases that are not intended as tilaawah (recitation), such as saying “Bismillaahi’r-Rahmaani’r-Raheem” or “Innaa Lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji’oon”, or other phrases from the Qur’aan which are repeated as general du’aa’s.

They base their evidence for forbidding menstruating women to recite Qur’aan on several things, including the following:

Menstruation is seen as coming under the rulings that apply to one who is junub (in a state of impurity following sexual intercourse), because both states require ghusl. This is based on the hadeeth narrated by ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him), according to which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to teach the Qur’aan and he never prevented anyone from learning it except those who were in a state of janaabah (impurity).” (Reported by Abu Dawood, 1/281; al-Tirmidhi, 146; al-Nisaa’i, 1/144; Ibn Maajah, 1/207; Ahmad, 1/84; Ibn Khuzaymah [??], 1/104. Al-Tirmidhi said: a saheeh hasan hadeeth. Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said: the truth is that it is the type of hasan hadeeth that could be used as evidence).

The hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both), according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The menstruating woman and the one who is in a state of impurity (janaabah) should not recite anything of the Qur’aan.” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 131; Ibn Maajah, 595; al-Daaraqutni (1/117); al-Bayhaqi, 1/89. This is a da’eef hadeeth, because it was reported by Ismaa’eel ibn ‘Ayyaash from the Hijaazis, and his reports from them are da’eef as is well known to those who are conversant with the study of hadeeth. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said (21/460): it is a da’eef hadeeth by the unanimous agreement of the scholars of hadeeth. See Nasb al-Raayah, 1/195; al-Talkhees al-Habeer, 1/183).

Some scholars say that it is permitted for a menstruating woman to recite Qur’aan. This is the opinion of Maalik, and one opinion narrated from Ahmad, which Ibn Taymiyah preferred and which al-Shawkaani believed to be correct. The scholars based the following points on this opinion:

The principle is that things are allowed and permitted unless there is evidence to the contrary. There is no such evidence to say that a menstruating woman is not allowed to recite Qur’aan. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: “There is no clear, saheeh text to indicate that a menstruating woman is forbidden to recite Qur’aan… It is known that women used to menstruate at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and he did not forbid them to recite Qur’aan, or to remember Allaah (dhikr) and offer du’aa’.”

Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, commands (Muslims) to recite Qur’aan. He praises the one who does so, and promises him (or her) a great reward. No one is excluded from this except the one concerning whom there is solid evidence (daleel), and there is no such evidence in the case of menstruating women, as stated above.

The analogy between the menstruating woman and the one who is in a state of janaabah is made despite the fact that there are differences between them. The one who is in a state of janaabah has the option of removing the “barrier” by making ghusl, unlike the menstruating woman. A woman’s period usually lasts for some length of time, whereas the person who is in a state of janaabah is required to do ghusl when the time for prayer comes.

Preventing a menstruating woman from reciting Qur’aan deprives her of the chance to earn reward, and it may make her forget something of the Qur’aan, or she may need to recite it for the purposes of teaching or learning.

From the above, it is clear that the evidence of those who allow a menstruating woman to recite Qur’aan is stronger. If a woman wants to err on the side of caution, she can limit her recitation to the passages which she is afraid of forgetting.

It is very important to note that what we have been discussing here is restricted to what a menstruating woman recites from memory. When it comes to reading from the Mus-haf (the Arabic text itself), a different rule applies. The correct view of the scholars is that it is forbidden to touch the mus-haf when one is in any kind of state of impurity, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“… which none can touch except the purified.” [al-Waaqi’ah 56:79].

In a letter to ‘Amr ibn Hazm, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told the people of Yemen: “No one should touch the Qur’aan except one who is taahir (pure).” (Reported by Maalik, 1/199; al-Nisaa’i, 8/57; Ibn Hibbaan, 793; al-Bayhaqi, 1/87. Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said: A group of scholars classed this hadeeth as saheeh because it is so well known. Al-Shaafi’i said: It is proven by them that it was a letter sent by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said: “This letter is famous among the scholars of seerah, and is so well known among the scholars that it does not need an isnaad. It is like tawaatur because the people accepted and recognized it. Shaykh al-Albani said that its is saheeh. Al-Talkhees al-Habeer, 4/17. See also: Nasb al-Raayah, 1/196; Irwaa’ al-Ghaleel, 1/158).

(Haashiyat Ibn ‘Aabideen, 1/159; al-Majmoo’, 1/356; Kashshaaf al-Qinaa’, 1/147; al-Mughni, 3/461; Nayl al-Awtaar, 1/226; Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa, 21/460; al-Sharh al-Mumti’ li’l-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 1/291)

And Allaah knows best.

The Trial of the Believer

Questioner: If a person is befallen with a sickness or is trialled in his person or wealth, how does he know whether that trial is a test or Allāh’s Anger?

Shaykh Ibn Bāz: Allāh trials His slaves with good and bad, difficulty and ease. He may test them to elevate their rank, to exalt their mention and to multiply their good deeds, as He does with the Prophets and Messengers and the righteous from His worshippers. The Messenger of Allāh (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam) stated: “The most severely tested of the people are the Prophets, then the righteous and then those closest to them.” ²

And sometimes He does this as a recompense for sins and wrongdoing; thus, the punishment is hastened as Allāh states:

“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. 

And He pardons much.” [al-Shūrā42:30]

So predominately, the human being falls short [in his duty] and does not fulfill what is obligatory upon him; therefore, whatever befalls him, it is a result of his sins and failings in his duty to Allāh. But when one of the righteous worshippers of Allāh is tested with sickness and the like, then indeed this is from the test of the Prophets and Messengers, elevating them in rank, magnifying their rewards and making them examples for others in patience and contentedness.

In short, the test may be to elevate a person in rank and magnify their reward, as Allāh does with the Prophets and those from the people of good; or it may be to expiate sins as Allāh says:

“Whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof.” [al-Nisā 4:123]

And the statement of the Messenger of Allāh (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallaam): 

“No affliction, nor grief, nor hardship, nor sadness, nor harm befalls a Muslim, even being pricked by a thorn, except that Allāh expiates some of his sins due to it.”³ And his statement: “If Allāh wants good for a person, He afflicts him with trials.” ⁴ Perhaps this may be a hastened punishment due to sins and delay of repentance as found in the ḥadīth of the Prophet: “When Allāh wants good for His worshiper, He hastens his punishment in this world; and if He wants evil for him, He withholds (his punishment) until He fulfills it on the Day of Resurrection.” 

This narration is collected by al-Tirmidhī, and he grades it ḥasan.

barrier between them

sumber dari: tiigerr.wordpress.com

Can a Muslim be a sincere friend to a kaafir?

Praise be to Allaah.  

It is not permissible for a Muslim to make friends with a mushrik or to take him as a close friend, because Islam calls on us to forsake the kaafirs and to disavow them, because they worship someone other than Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“O you who believe! Take not as friends the people who incurred the Wrath of Allaah (i.e. the Jews). Surely, they have despaired of (receiving any good in) the Hereafter, just as the disbelievers have despaired of those (buried) in graves (that they will not be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection)”

[al-Mumtahanah 60:13] 

This was also the teaching of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

1 – It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, “Do not keep company with anyone but a believer and do not let anyone eat your food but one who is pious.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2395; Abu Dawood, 4832. Abu ‘Eesa al-Tirmidhi said: this hadeeth is hasan. It was also classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2519). 

Abu ‘Eesa al-Khattaabi said: Rather he warned against keeping company with anyone who is not pious and against mixing with them or eating with them, because eating with a person instills friendship and love in the heart. 

He said: do not make friends with anyone who is not pious; do not take him as a companion with whom you eat and chat. 

(Ma’aalim al-Sunan, Haamish Mukhtasar Sunan Abi Dawood, 7/185, 186). 

2 – It was narrated from Samurah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not live among the mushrikeen and do not mix with them, for whoever lives among them or mixes with them is not one of us.” (Narrated by al-Bayhaqi, 9/142; al-Haakim, 2/154. He said, it is saheeh according to the conditions of al-Bukhaari. The hadeeth was also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 2/229 with its corroborating reports). 

But it is permissible to deal with them in a kind manner in the hope that they might become Muslim. 

It was narrated that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: There was a Jewish boy who used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and he fell sick. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to visit him. He sat by his head and said, “Become Muslim.” (The boy) looked at his father who was with him, and he (the father) said, “Obey Abu’l-Qaasim (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” So he became Muslim, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out, saying, “Praise be to Allaah Who has saved him from the Fire” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1290).

And Allaah knows best.

Separation Wall In Palastine

Be Just, Before You THINK About A SECOND WIFE

Question:

This one says: He who has a wife and children, yet he does not own a house; he is renting; and he marries another wife while he has not established anything for his children and his first wife, does the person become sinful?

Answer:

Yes, it is firstly upon him to establish that which is currently obligatory upon him. When Allaah the Glorified and High permitted polygyny He, the Glorified and Exalted, said:

فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلاَّ تَعْدِلُواْ فَوَاحِدَةً

But if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one. (An-Nisa 4:3)

So justice is one thing. However, that which is obligatory in terms of spending is another thing; that which is obligatory upon you in terms of spending upon them (i.e. the first family) is another thing. So if you do not give them their right or you do not have from wealth except that with which to establish their right and you want to marry another wife then we say: their right (i.e. the first family) right now takes precedence. And if Allaah blesses you (with more provisions) then marry; marry another wife. There is nothing at all to prevent you from that.

What is intended by justice between wives is as regards affairs of the Dunyaa which the person is able to divide. As for that which one is not able to divide, then this is the inclination of the heart. This is within the Hand of Allaah the Blessed and High. Allaah makes the hearts incline toward this one and away from that one; or towards that one and away from this one. The Prophet ﷺ used to say:

اللَّهُمَّهَذَاقَسْمِيفِيمَاأَمْلِكُفَلَاتُؤَاخِذْنِيفِيمَالَاأَمْلِكُ

O Allaah, this is my division regarding that which I have control of. So do not punish me for that which I do not have control of.

And this is the inclination of the heart. Na’am, there is no harm (on the person regarding this).

Duties of a Muslim towards a non-Muslim

Praise be to Allaah.

The duty of the Muslim towards a non-Muslim includes a number of things:

Firstly:

Da‘wah or calling him to Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted. He should call him to Allaah and explain to him the reality of Islam when possible, with regard to whatever issues he has knowledge about, because this is the greatest kindness that he can give to his fellow-citizens and to those whom he meets of Jews, Christians and others who may be mushrikeen (polytheists), because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “The one who guides others to goodness will have a reward like that of the one who does it.”

And he (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said to ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him), when he sent him to Khaybar and instructed him to call the Jews to Islam: “By Allaah, if Allaah were to guide one man through you, that would be better for you than having red camels (the best kind).”

And he (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever calls others to right guidance will have a reward like that of those who follow him, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.”

So calling him (the non-Muslim) to Islam, conveying Islam to him and being sincere towards him in that are among the best means of drawing close to Allaah.

Secondly:

He should not wrong him, with regard to his physical wellbeing, his wealth or his honour. If he is a dhimmi (non-Muslim living under Muslim rule), musta’man (one who is granted security in a Muslim land) or mu‘aahid (one with whose country the Muslims have a peace deal), then he should give him his due rights, and not transgress against his wealth by stealing, betraying or deceiving, and he should not harm him physically by striking or killing him, because the fact that he is a mu‘aahid or dhimmi, or musta’man, means that he is protected by sharee‘ah.

Thirdly:

There is no reason why we should not interact with him, buying, selling, renting, hiring and so on. It is narrated in saheeh reports that the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) bought from kuffaar who were idol worshippers, and he bought from the Jews, and these are interactions. When he (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) died, his shield was being held in pledge by a Jew for some food he had bought for his family (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him).

Fourthly:

With regard to greeting, the Muslim should not initiate the greeting, but he may return it, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not initiate the greeting of salaam with the Jews or Christians.” And he (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “If the people of the Book greet you with salaam (by saying al-salaamu ‘alaykum), say ‘Wa ‘alaykum.’” So the Muslim should not initiate the greeting to a kaafir, but if the kaafir initiates it, and the Jew or Christians etc. greets you with salaam, then you should say “wa ‘alaykum,” as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said.

These are some of the rights between a Muslim and a kaafir.

Another right is being a good neighbour. So if he is a neighbour, be kind to him and do not annoy him; give charity to him if he is poor, give him gifts, give him beneficial advice, because these are things that will attract him to Islam and to become Muslim; and because the neighbour has rights. The Messenger (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Jibreel kept urging me to be kind to my neighbour until I thought that he would make him my heir.” Saheeh – agreed upon.

If the neighbour is a kaafir, he still has the rights of a neighbour; if he is both a relative and a kaafir, then he has two rights: the rights of a neighbour and the rights of a relative.

One of the rights of the neighbour is that you should give him charity, but not zakaah, if he is poor, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity” [al-Mumtahanah 60:8]. 

According to the saheeh hadeeth narrated from Asma’ bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), her mother, who was a mushrik, entered upon her during the truce between the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) and the people of Makkah, seeking help. Asma’ asked the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) for permission – should she uphold ties of kinship with her? The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Uphold ties of kinship with her.”

But with regard to celebrating their festivals, the Muslim should not take part in celebrating their festivals, but there is nothing wrong with offering them condolences if a loved one dies, such as saying “May Allaah compensate you in your loss” and other kind words. But he should not say “May Allaah forgive him” or “May Allaah have mercy on him” if the deceased was a kaafir, and he should not pray for the deceased if he was a kaafir. But he may pray for the one who is alive to be guided and to be compensated and so on. End quote.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him).

ALLAH is able to do ALL

Ramadhaan Mubaarak to All!

Most Important Islamic Rights

Islamic rights are many, among the most important of which are the following: 

The rights of Allaah 

The blessings of Allaah to His slaves are innumerable. Every blessing deserves thanks. The rights of Allaah upon His slaves are many, the most important of which include the following: 

1.     Tawheed, which means believing that Allaah is One in His Essence, His names, His attributes and His deeds. So we should believe that Allaah alone is the Lord, the Sovereign, the Controller, the Creator, the Provider, in Whose hand is Dominion and He is Able to do all things:

“Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion; and He is Able to do all things”

[al-Mulk 67:1 – interpretation of the meaning]

2.     ‘Ibaadah (worship), which means worshipping Allaah alone because He is their Lord, Creator and Provider. So all kinds of worship should be devoted to Him alone, such as du’aa’ (supplication), dhikr (remembering Allaah), seeking help, humbling oneself, submitting, hope and fear, vows, sacrifices, and so on. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship)”

[al-Nisaa’ 4:36]

3.     Shukr (gratitude, giving thanks), for Allaah is the One Who bestows favours and blessings upon all of creation, so they have to show their gratitude for these blessings on their lips and in their hearts and in their physical actions, by praising Allaah and using these blessings to obey Allaah and in ways that Allaah has permitted:

“Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me

[al-Baqarah 2:152 – interpretation of the meaning] 

The rights of the Messenger 

The sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is a great blessing for all of mankind. Allah sent him to bring mankind forth from darkness into light, and to show them that which will bring them happiness in this world and in the Hereafter. 

Among the rights that the Messenger has over us are that we should love him, obey him and send blessings upon him. Loving him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is achieved by obeying his commands and believing what he told us, avoiding that which he forbade and not worshipping Allaah except in the ways that he prescribed. 

Parent’s rights 

Islam pays special attention to the family and encourages love and respect within it. The parents are the basis and foundation of the family, hence honouring one’s parents is one of the best deeds and one of the most beloved actions to Allaah. 

Honouring one’s parents is achieved by obeying them, respecting them, being humble towards them, treating them kindly, spending on them, praying for them, upholding ties of kinship with those to whom one is related through them, and honouring their friends: 

“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents” [al-Israa’ 17:23] 

The rights of the mother in this regard are greater, because she is the one who bears the child, gives birth to him and breastfeeds him. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, who is most deserving of my good companionship?” He said, “Your mother.” He said, “Then who?” He said, “Your mother.” He said, “Then who?” He said, “Your mother.” He said, “Then who?” He said, “Your father.”

(Agreed upon. This version was narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Adab, 78) 

The rights of one Muslim over another 

The believers are brothers and are an integrated nation, like a building parts of which support other parts. They treat one another with mercy and compassion, and love one another. In order to preserve this building and this brotherhood, Allaah has prescribed rights which each Muslim has over his fellow Muslim. These include love, sincerity (naseehah), relieving his distress, concealing his mistakes, supporting him when he is in the right, respecting neighbours and honouring guests. 

These rights also include returning greetings of salaam, visiting the sick, accepting invitations, saying “yarhamuk Allaah (may Allaah have mercy on you) to a Muslim when he sneezes, and attending his funeral. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The rights of one Muslim over another are five: returning the greeting of salaam, saying ‘yarhamuk Allaah (may Allaah have mercy on you)’ when he sneezes, accepting invitations, visiting the sick and attending funerals.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2625)

Neighbour’s rights 

Islam pays attention to the issue of neighbours, whether they are Muslim or not, because of the interests served by that in making the nation like one body. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Jibreel kept on enjoining the good treatment of neighbours to the extent that I thought that he would include neighbours as heirs.” (Agreed upon. Narrated by Muslim, 2625) 

Among the rights of one neighbour over another as affirmed by Islam are the initiation of greetings, visiting him if he is sick, offering condolences if calamity befalls him, congratulating him at times of joy, overlooking his mistakes, concealing his faults, bearing his annoyance with patience, giving him gifts, lending him money if he needs it, lowering one’s gaze from looking at his womenfolk, and guiding him to that which will benefit him in his religious and worldly affairs. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“The best of companions with Allaah is the one who is best to his companion, and the best of neighbours with Him is the one who is best to his neighbour.”(Narrated by al-Bukhaari in al-Adab al-Mufrad, 115) 

Concerning neighbours’ rights, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masaakeen (the poor), the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side…”

[al-Nisaa’ 4:36] 

Islam warns against annoying one’s neighbours or treating them badly. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained that this would lead to being deprived of Paradise: “He will not enter Paradise from whose harm his neighbour is not safe.” (Agreed upon. Narrated by Muslim, 64). 

In order to achieve the common interest, Islam gives rights to the ruler over his subjects and to the subjects over their ruler, and its gives the husband rights over his wife and the wife rights over her husband, and there are other just rights which Islam has enjoined.

Sajdah Al-Tilaawat

There are fifteen places in the Quran where we should perform Sajdah al-tilaawat (prostration of recitation) when reciting them. It was reported from ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited to him fifteen verses in the Quran where one should prostrate, three of which are in al-Mufassal and two in Surah al-Hajj. It was reported by Abu Dawood, Ibn Maajah, al-Haakim and al-Daaraqutni, and classed as hasan by al-Mundhiri and al-Nawawi. The fifteen aayat are (interpretation of the meanings) :

Sajdah # 1 : Juz’ 9 : Surah Al A’raf (7) Ayat 206
“Those who are near to thy Lord, disdain not to do Him worship: They celebrate His praises, and bow down before Him.”

Sajdah # 2 : Juz’ 13 : Surah Al Ra’d (13) Ayat 15
“Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah (acknowledging subjection),- with good-will or in spite of themselves: so do their shadows in the morning and evenings.”

Sajdah # 3 : Juz’ 14 : Surah Al Nahl (16) Ayat 50
“They all revere their Lord, high above them, and they do all that they are commanded.”

“Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of (Allah) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.”

Sajdah # 6 : Juz’ 18 : Surah Al Hajj (22) Ayat 18
“Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth,- the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace,- None can raise to honour: for Allah carries out all that He wills.”

Juz’ 18 : Surah Al Hajj (22) Ayat 77 (Shafi’i)
“O ye who believe! bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper.”

Sajdah # 7 : Juz’ 19 : Surah Al Furqan (25) Ayat 60
“When it is said to them, “Adore ye (Allah) Most Gracious!”, they say, “And what is (Allah) Most Gracious? Shall we adore that which thou commandest us?” And it increases their flight (from the Truth).”

Sajdah # 8 : Juz’ 19 : Surah Al Naml (27) Ayat 26
“God!- there is no god but He!- Lord of the Throne Supreme!”

Sajdah # 9 : Juz’ 21 : Surah Al Sajdah (32) Ayat 15

Sajdah # 10 : Juz’ 23 : Surah Sad (38) Ayat 24
“(David) said: “He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?” …and David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in repentance).”

Turunnya Surat Al-Lahab

Sebab-sebab Turunnya Surat Al-Lahab:
1. Binasalah kedua tangan Abu Lahab dan sesungguhnya dia akan binasa.
2. Tidaklah berfaedah kepadanya harta bendanya dan apa yang ia usahakan.
3. Kelak dia akan masuk ke dalam api yang bergejolak.
4. Dan (begitu pula) istrinya, pembawa kayu bakar.
5. Yang di lehernya ada tali dari sabut.

Dalam suatu riwayat dikemukakan bahwa pada suatu ketika Rasul saw, naik ke bukit shafa sambil berseru: "Mari berkumpul pada pagi hari ini!" Maka berkumpullah kaum Quraisy. Rasul bersabda: "Bagaimana pendapat kalian, seandainya aku beritahu bahwa musuh akan datang besok pagi atau petang, apakah kalian percaya kepadaku?" Kaum Quraisy menjawab: "Pasti kami percaya". Rasul bersabda lagi: "Aku peringatkan kepada kalian bahwa siksaan Allah yang dahsya akan datang". Maka Abu Lahab berkata dengan lantang: "Celaka engkau! Apakah hanya untuk ini, engkau kumpulkan kami?" Maka turunlah surat ini (S. 111 : 1 s/d 5) berkenaan dengan peristiwa itu yang melukiskan bahwa kecelakaan itu akan terkena kepada orang yang memfitnah dan menghalang-halangi agama Allah swt.
[Diriwayatkan oleh al-Bukhori dan lainnya yang bersumber dari Ibnu Abbas.]

Dalam riwayat lain di sebutkan bahwa isteri Abu Lahab menyebarkan duri-duri di tempat yang akan di lewati Rasul Saw. Surat ini turun berkenaan dengan peristiwa itu yang melukiskan bahwa orang yang menghalang-halangi dan menyebarkan permusuhan terhadap Islam akan mendapat siksaan dari Allah.
[Diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Jarir dari Isra'il dari Abi Ishaq yang bersumber dari orang Hamdan (bernama Yazid bin Zaid). Diriwayatkan pula oleh Ibnul Mundzir yang bersumber dari Ikrimah].

The Politics Of Abu Lahab In TheWar Of Gaza

.
A baby-sitter attempts to prove that she loves the baby more compared to the mother, by singing lullabies. By doing it, she renders herself as a good baby-sitter. However, the child really knows that he was often beaten by the baby-sitter while the father and mother were not at home. For that reason, he would surely dislike the lullabies sung by the baby-sitter, in fact the singing would even hurt him instead.

Half an hour later, after listening to the song sung by the baby-sitter, the child would scream, "Enough with your lullabies!! Shut your mouth and don’t hurt my ears. I want to sleep!" That was the expression of the Chief Editor of the Kayhan newspaper, Hossein Shariat Madari, directed at the King of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah, for the way he was treating the Zionist Israel.

In front of the savage brutality of the Zionist Regime of Israel, King Abdullah not only shut his mouth tightly, but he even, based on available facts such as those affirmed by Zionist Israel Regime’s President, Simon Peres, and the Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert, supported the slaughterings of the civilians of Gaza. During the 22 days battle, Saudi Arabia disallowed and banned every demonstration by the masses to protest against the Israeli aggressions. A day after the ceasefire (19/01/2009), the King of Saudi Arabia in his public address in the economic forums of the leading Arab nations in Kuwait, attempted to cover up his collaboration with the Zionist Regime of Israel in the slaughtering of the people of Gaza. He said, "A drop of the Palestinian blood is more expensive than the whole riches of the world." The Media that has affiliations with the government of Saudi Arabia such as Al Arabiah TV station, publicized in a mega scale that statement of lullaby by King Abdullah, and analyzed it in a ridiculous way.

What’s even uniqe, the deceitful King Abdullah later on delivered a statement that proved the transparent supports of Saudi Arabia for the Zionist Israel. He said, "Not only in the religion of Islam, in fact, it was also mentioned in the Taurat that the qisas for an eye is an eye, not the whole eyes, therefore the qisas of an eye for an eye must be done on the oppressed people of Palestine!"
Through that statement, King Abdullah accused the Islamic Resistance Movement of Palestine (Hamas) as a guilty and evil party. According to him, Israel’s brutal attack on the oppressed citizens of Gaza is a form of "qisas" which is in accordance with the teachings of Al-Quran and Taurat. In the sight of King Abdullah, the Zionist Israel regime is on a true path, whereas Hamas was accused as being the trigger of the battle. In conclusion, the Israeli aggression could be justified. That statement was in line with what Tel Aviv claimed all these while which stated that the battle was launched because it was Hamas who first started it all.

The King of Saudi Arabia who called Hamas as the instigator of the war, did not want to lose face by advising the Zionist Regime of Israel, "Why do you act excessively in carrying out qisas?" The effort of King Abdullah showed that he believed the Zionist Regime of Israel was innocent in the 22 days battle, in contrast with the statement made by the Foreign Minister of Israel Tzipi Livni. Livini said that the attack in Gaza was aimed at destroying Hamas down to its roots.

In the end of his statement in the economic forum in Kuwait, King Abdullah said, "Saudi Arabia feels obligated to say thank you to all the countries that have endeavored to stop the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, especially Egypt." It seemed that King Abdullah had become absentminded that he and Hosni Mobarak, repeatedly phoned Simon Peres and Ehud Olmert all along the war in Gaza and requested that the Israel military bombarded the citizens of Gaza until Hamas was totally destroyed. Strangely, the statement of Simon Peres dan Olmert regarding the supports of Saudi Arabia and Egypt for Israel in the 22 days battle was never censored by Cairo and Riyadh. Based on that reason, both the Arab nations have never opened their mouths to criticize the crimes of Israel, even until the 22 days battle ended. In fact, even Egypt up to these days, is still closing the cross border passage for the children and women of Gaza. This inheritor of the politics and aqeedah of Abu Lahab is surely already absentminded about his collaboration with the Zionist Regime of Israel in mass slaughtering the oppressed citizens of Gaza.

The beautiful Ayat of Surah Ar-Rad..

sumber dari: islamic-wallpapers.net

“…Do not burden yourself....”

And ath-Thahabee mentions from al-Muzanee that he said: “I knew that if anyone could rid me of a troubling concern about an issue of tawheed, it would be ash-Shaafi’ee. So I went to him while he was in a mosque in Egypt. When I kneeled in front of him, I said, ‘I am troubled about a certain issue of tawheed. I know that no one knows as much as you, so what do you say about this?’ ”

He became angry and said, ‘Do you know where you are?’

I said, ‘Yes.’

He said, ‘This is the place where Allaah drowned Pharoah. Has it reached you that the Messenger of Allaah was ordered to ask about that?’

I said, ‘No.’

He said, ‘Have the Companions spoken about it?’

I said, ‘No.’

He said, ‘Do you know how many stars are in the sky?’

I said, ‘No.’

He said, ‘So you don’t even know about one planet – its type or the time and place of its appearance and disappearance?’

I said, ‘No.

He said, ’So there is something from the creation that you see with your own eyes that you do not even know anything about, yet you speak about the Knowledge of the Creator?’

Then he asked me a question about ablution, and I erred in my response. So he explained it from four different angles (and asked me about them), and I was not correct in any of my responses.

So he said, ‘So you leave alone the knowledge of something which you are in need of five times a day, and instead you burden yourself with the knowledge of the Creator? When this (kind of thing) comes to your mind, then remember the statement of Allaah the Exalted,

“And your God is One God; there is no true god besides Him. He is the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth…” [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:163-164]

“So use the creation as a proof for (the Greatness of) the Creator, and do not burden yourself with what is beyond your understanding.”

Binasalah kedua tangan Abu Lahab

Abu Lahab anak kepada Abdul Mutalib , adik beradik Abdullah , bapa kepada Nabi . Beliau sangat gembira dengan kelahiran nabi sehingga melonjak-lonjak kegembiraannya . Nama sebenarnya ialah Abdul Uzza ( Uzza adalah nama berhala yg utama pada ketika itu ) berbadan gemuk dan berkulit putih kemerah-merahan . Bukan setakat itu saja Abu Lahab membebaskan seorang hambanya sempena kelahiran nabi ,hamba yg dibebaskan itu bernama Thuaibah As-Aslamiayah . setelah Thuaibah bebas Abu Lahab mengarahkan bekas hambanya itu menyusukan anak saudaranya itu sebelum menemui penyusu upahan .

Walaubagaimanapun Thuaibah menjadi hambanya kembali kerana Thuaibah banyak berhutang dengan Abu Lahab dan dia tidak mampu membayarnya hutang tersebut . Perkara yg sama juga terjadi kepada anak pembesar Quraisy iaitu Ass bin Hasyim ,beliau menjadi hamba Abu Lahab kerana kalah berjudi kemudian di bebaskan oleh Abu Lahab dengan syarat menggantikan beliau pergi berperang di Badar ,Abu Lahab terlepas drp mengikuti perang tersebut yg mana pada ketika itu semua pembesar Quraisy wajib mengikuti perang itu.

Ketika Nabi berkahwin dengan Siti Khadijah ,nabi pernah meminta isterinya membebaskan Thuaibah kerana jasanya itu ,akan tetapi Abu Lahab tidak mahu menjualnya . Kita berbalik dengan kegembiraan Abu Lahab terhadap kelahiran nabi ,beliau sanggup mengorbankan beberapa ekor unta pada hari ketujuh kelahiran nabi sebagai akikah .Inilah permulaan sambutan Maulidur rasul .rupa-rupanya yg memulakan sambutan itu ialah Abu Lahab .

Setelah Nabi mempunyai anak-anak perempuan , Abu Lahab menjodohkan anak-anak lelakinya dengan putri - putri nabi iaitu anak sulungnya yg bernama Utbah dijodohkan dengan Ruqaiyah ,manakala anak yg keduanya Utaibah dgn Ummu Kalsum .Abu Lahab melakukan demikian kerana beliau amat kasih dengan nabi dan mengenangkan adiknya iaitu Abdullah dan juga bapa kepada nabi . Namum apabila Muhammad dilantik menjadi nabi dan rasul akhir zaman , Abu Lahab menentangnya dengan keras dan mengarahkan kedua anak lelakinya itu menceraikan isteri-isterinya ,mereka berdua menceraikan sebab hati anak Abu Lahab sama hitam dengan hati bapanya .

Ketika Utaibah menghantar isterinya ke rumah nabi ,beliau telah mengambil kesempatan untuk menendang pinggang nabi sehingga nabi terjatuh . Nabi dengan penuh kesabaran bersabda

" Wahai Utaibah nanti kamu akan di baham oleh salah satu drp singa-singa Allah "

Abu Lahab yg mengetahui perkara itu amat yakin dengan kata-kata anak saudaranya itu , sehinggakan Abu Lahab mengarahkan Utaibah tidur sahaja semasa perjalanannya ketika hendak berniaga . Utaibah diarahkan tidur di tengah-tengah rombongan itu . Abu Lahab berfikir sekiranya ada sekawanan singa nanti sudah tentulah mereka akan menghalang dan membunuhnya sebelum sempat singa itu membaham anaknya itu .

Sampai dipertengahan jalan tiba -tiba keluarlah sekawanan singa dan salah satu di antara singa itu melompat lalu menerkam Utaibah yg sedang nyenyak tidur .singa itu dengan mudah dapat mematahkan leher Utaibah lalu Utaibah pun terus mati di situ serta merta . Singa itu tidak mengganggu ahli rombongan yg lain dan terus menghilangkan diri selepas itu.

Abu Lahab adalah satu-satunya manusia yg dirakamkan di dlm Al- Quran yg telah di kutuk dan dilaknat oleh Allah iaitu di dlm SURAH AL LAHAB /AL MASAD

Abu Lahab adalah jiran nabi s.a.w ,beliau juga pak cik nabi s.a.w , beliau juga besan nabi s.a.w kerana kedua anak lelakinya yg bernama Utbah dan Utaibah dikahwinkan dengan dua putri nabi s.a.w iaitu Ruqayyah dan Ummu Kalthum . Utbah memperisterikan Ruqayyah dan Utaibah memperisterikan Ummu Kalthum .

Beliau berbadan besar dan gemuk, panas baran dan sangat lekas marah . Beliau berkata kepada Nabi s.a.w

" Sungguh celaka kamu disepanjang hari ini ,hanya untuk inikah kamu mengumpul kami di rumahmu ini ? "

Abu Lahab tunduk untuk mengambil batu tujuannya ialah digunakan untuk membaling Nabi s.a.w tetapi hasratnya di batalkan lalu beliau meletakkan kembali batu tersebut .

Nabi s.a.w yg ulul azmi itu hanya diam sahaja mendengar cercaan bapa saudarnya .Baginda amat sedih mendengar cercaan pak ciknya itu . padahal sebelum ini pak ciknya itu amat menyayangi baginda . beliau sanggup mengkahwinkan anak-anak lelakinya dengan putri -putri nabi s.a.w. tetapi kasih sayang itu sudah terlerai .Sesungguhnya kasih sayang yg hakiki adalah kasih sayang kerana Allah s.w.t.

Apabila ahli keluarga nabi yg lain melihat peristiwa itu ,hati mereka berbelah bagi terhadap Abu Lahab ., perasaan hormat kepadanya hampir lebur .

Abu Lahab tidak berhenti setakat itu sahaja ,beliau menyambung dengan cercaan yg lain .....

" Selama ini aku belum pernah melihat seorang yg datang dari keturunan orang tuanya ( Abdul Mutalib) dan kaumnya ( Bani Hasyim)lebih keji dengan apa yg engkau bawakan dan perlihatkan ini !"

Allah s.w.t pada ketika itu telah menurunkan wahyu yg berbunyi dan maksudnya ..

Celakalah dua tangan Abu Lahab ! , memang dia sangat celaka ! - ayat 1 , surah Al Lahab

Mendengar sahaja perkataan itu drp anak saudaranya ,Abu Lahab menjawab ..

Jika apa yg dikatakan Muhammad itu benar maka aku tebus diriku dengan harta dan anak-anakku !

Lalu turunlah wahyu Allah lagi

Tidaklah berguna daripadanya ( Abu Lahab ) harta bendanya dan segala usahanya " - ayat 2 , surah Al Lahab .

Mendengar sahaja wahyu Allah s.w.t mengutuk dan melaknat dirinya ,maka beliau mula membuat kacau di dalam majlis Rasulallah s.a.w itu , sehingga Nabi s.a.w terpaksa membubarkan majlis itu .Para ahli keluarga baginda yg lain merasa simpati di atas kesedihan yg ditanggung oleh nabi s.a.w dan pembubaran majlis tersebut .....

Kapal dan Lautan

Allahlah yang menundukkan lautan untukmu supaya kapal-kapal dapat berlayar padanya dengan izin-Nya, dan supaya kamu dapat mencari sebagian kurnia-Nya dan mudah-mudahan kamu bersyukur.
(al-Jathiya : 45:12)

رَّبُّكُمُ الَّذِي يُزْجِي لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ فِي الْبَحْرِ لِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن فَضْلِهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا
Tuhan-mu Yakni Allah lah yang melayarkan kapal-kapal di lautan untukmu, agar kamu mencari sebahagian dari kurnia-Nya. Sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Penyayang terhadapmu. (Surah Al-Isra Ayat 66)


وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَن يُرْسِلَ الرِّيَاحَ مُبَشِّرَاتٍ وَلِيُذِيقَكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِ وَلِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ بِأَمْرِهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
“Dan di antara tanda-tanda kekuasaan-Nya ialah bahwa Dia mengirimkan angin sebagai pembawa berita gembira dan untuk merasakan kepadamu sebagian dari rahmat-Nya dan supaya kapal dapat berlayar dengan perintah-Nya dan (juga) supaya kamu dapat mencari karunia-Nya; mudah-mudahan kamu bersyukur.” (Surah Ar-Rum Ayat 36)

But Allah saved you…

As-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah



Before the battle of Badr set off, Allah `azza wa jall did something amazing for the believers, although it was quite subtle:

“(And remember) when Allah showed them to you as few in your dream, if He had shown them to you as many, you (the believers) would surely have been discouraged, and you would surely have disputed in making a decision. But Allah saved you. Certainly, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts.” [al-Anfal: 43]

The Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) was shown a dream in which the opposition appeared very few in number, and he then reported this to the fighters of Badr which immediately put their hearts to rest and strengthened them mentally. By simply showing this dream, Allah `azza wa jall changed the entire way the believers viewed their enemy and He totally shifted their perspective of things, leading to their success. This is something we can do in our everyday lives…

Lesson: Whenever you’re faced with an obstacle, or you wish to achieve something lofty, step back and view that obstacle as being small and minor. Never let something overwhelm your mind because then it will most likely overcome you and lead to your discouragement and failure. Know that success lies in facing your fears with mental strength, and it is often a case of mind over matter. So take a deep lesson from the verse above and allow Allah to show you your problem as being small and easily defeatable.

Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, “They were made to seem few in our eyes during Badr, so I said to a man who was next to me, “Do you think they are seventy?” He said, “Rather, they are a hundred.” However, when we captured one of them and we asked him, he said, “We were a thousand.”“[Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

This is really interesting because the Arabs at that time were extremely talented in estimating the number of participants in battle. When two forces met, each side would send a messenger forward and he’d look at the enemy lines and estimate the number accurately. So Allah veiled this from them in order that they did not waver at heart.

Alhamdulillah for the Qur’an which we can apply to our lives in so many different ways.

Time is a creation of Allah

"In the Name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful"
"By Al-Asr (time), Lo! Verily man is in loss, Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth"
Al-Asr (Time)

Time is a creation of Allah and one of the miracles of Allah in which he lengthens for some and shortens for some according to His decree and power. It depends upon man in what way he chooses to use his time. There are some who use it in frivolous efforts such as entertainment and sin, and there are some who benefit in good deeds and good talk and abstain from the unnecessary. Whichever way you choose your time, man will die and be resurrected in the same state in which he spends most of his time on earth doing. Example; if a man spends his whole life hoarding money and counting it, he will die in this same state. If a man spends his whole life in the effort of deed (preaching/da'wah), insya Allah he will die in that state. The way we spend our time on earth will determine our state of affairs soon to come in the next life. Therefore, spend time wisely...

The majority of our time should be spent on:
i) Da'wah (Preaching)
ii) Solat and Zikir
iii) Taleem - Teaching and learning religious knowledge
iv) Khidmat - khidmat to oneself, to the Ameer (husband), to other members of jemaat (if in the path of Allah), to all the needy (children, elderly, poor, friends, family etc)

Least time should be spent:
i) Eating & Drinking
ii) Sleeping
iii) Requirements of nature (going to the toilet)
iv) Talking about worldly affairs

What should be avoided:
i) To ask or hint to anyone to fulfill one's needs
ii) To expect or even hope for someone to fulfill one's needs
iii) To use other people's belongings without consent
iv)To avoid extravagance

three distinguishing characteristics

Imam Ghazali Rahmatullahi'alayh sayas, "There are three distinguishing characteristics of someone who has truly turned away from worldliness, which one should try to develop within oneself:

1. He does not take pleasure in what he possesses in the world, nor grieves over being deprived of the things he does not possess. Or better still, he grieves over having worldly things in his possession and feels happy when he is bereft of such things. This signifies the renunciation of wealth.

2. In his sight, the one who praises him and the one who berates him are alike. This signifies the renunciation of status and worldly renown.

3. He is possessed of a true love for Allah ta'alaa, enjoys intimacy with Him, and is capable of experiencing a peculiar bliss and sweetness in acts of devotion. This signifies the love of the company of men/women and a true love for communion with Allah.

The benefits of renouncing this world is, according to a verse (Syura: 20) in the Quran, Allah says:
"Whoever desires the harvest of the world Hereafter, We grant increase in his harvest: and whoever desires the harvest of this world we give him the fruit thereof but there is no portion for him in the Hereafter".

A hadith of this meaning says, "The heart of a Muslim whose object is the life Hereafter does not care for the worldly pleasures, yet the world is brought to his feet. On the other hand, whoever goes after the world, he is overpowered by miseries and calamities, yet he cannot receive more than his allotted portion."

Names Of Sahaba In Quran

1 Abu Bakr
2 Umar bin Al-Khattab
3 Uthman ibn Affan
4 Ali ibn Abu Talib

no one of them (names) mentioned in Quran.These names are in the books of history. Hadiths
some muslims two sects shia ,sunni only use their names for political reasons and monk them abuse them because of wrong stories , lies about them in old books especially Hadiths.
the aim is only to insult 4 of them.

All history of hadiths writers belong to Iran, Hadith has chain of narration.In hadiths Main Target is Prophet Muhammad Family and Companions they focused on Prophet Muhammad Wife Ayesha (Age) Target Prophet Muhammad companions insect wrongs writting Lies in hadiths and others books for politicals reasons( the Sunni and Shia Fighting)to insult all of them

Hadith on Abu Bakr
Hadith on Umar bin Khattab
Hadith on Uthman ibn Affan
Hadith on Ali bin Abu Talib
there is no 100% authenticity  about theses 4 people exist or not. their names are same or different .

The Prophet had companions,but their names are not mentioned in Quran.

Only one companion of Prophet Muhammad(Saw) name mentioned in Quran Hazrat Zayed may Allah be pleased with him, his name is in Surah Al-Ahzab.

If ye succour him not, then surely Allah hath succoured him when these who disbelieved drave him: the second of the two When the twain were in a cave, and when he Said unto his companion. grieve not, verily Allah is with Us. Then Allah sent down His calm upon him and aided him with hosts whom ye saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved nethermost, and the word of Allah! that is the upper most. And Allah is Mighty, wise, (40) Al-Tawba

Allah has forgiven the Prophet (SAW), the Muhajirun (Muslim emigrants who left their homes and came to Al-Madinah) and the Ansar (Muslims of Al-Madinah) who followed him (Muhammad SAW) in the time of distress (Tabuk expedition), after the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated (from the Right Path), but He accepted their repentance. Certainly, He is unto them full of Kindness, Most Merciful , And (He did forgive also) the three (who did not join the Tabuk expedition whose case was deferred (by the Prophet SAW) (for Allah’s Decision) till for them the earth, vast as it is, was straitened and their ownselves were straitened to them, and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allah, and no refuge but with Him. Then, He forgave them (accepted their repentance), that they might beg for His pardon (repent (unto Him) Verily, Allah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful.

Assalam alaikoum wa Rahmatullaah wa Barakaatuh,

1. Ha Mim [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.

2. The relevation of the Book (this Qur’an) is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise

3.Verily, in the heavens and the earth are the signs for the believers.

4. And in your creation, and what He scattered (through the earth) of moving (living) creatures are signs for people who have Faith with certainty.

5. And in the alteration of night and day, and the provision (rain) that Allah sends own from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning about of the winds (i.e. sometimes towards the east or north, and sometimes towards the south or west sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain and sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain and sometimes bringing the torment), are signs for a people who understand.

Al-Jathiya 1-5

Do they not then consider the Quran carefully? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradictions. [4:82]

Semut versus Gajah

Ada orang yang baru ‘insyaf’ ikutan shalat berjamaah di masjid bersama temannya. Kebetulan imamnya orang yang hafal Qur’an dan sangat senang melantunkannya dalam shalat. Dan biasanya ia akan membaca surat-surat yang cukup panjang. Bagi jamaahnya yang sudah terbiasa, hal itu bukan masalah. Nah, kali ini sang imam membaca surat An Naml. Surat ini panjangnya sampai  93 ayat. Mmm..

Orang yang masih baru belajar islam tadi ikutan shalat berjamaah. Ketika selesei shalat, ia menggerutu dan bilang pada temennya, “Tadi si imam lama banget baca suratnya. Surat apa sih?”

“Surat An Naml artinya semut”

“Gila, panjang bangeet!”

Giliran mereka pun pulang.

“Jangan lupa, besok shalat berjamaah lagi ya. Nanti aku bilangin ke imamnya, janji deh suratnya gak panjang-panjang lagi.

"Emang mau baca surat apa?”

“Al Fiil artinya gajah”

“Gak, ah. Kamu pasti bohong. Surat ‘semut’ yang kecil aja sampe begitu lamanya, apalagi surat ‘gajah’ yang gedenya minta ampun. Pasti bakalan lebih lamaaa. Aku kapok ah..”

“Walaaahh…”

Padahal surat Al Fiil cuma beberapa ayat saja (lebih tepatnya cuma 5 ayat). Hehehe. Makanya kudu sering baca Qur’an biar tau jumlah ayatnya. Buat imam, kalo baca surat jangan panjang-panjang. Kasian kan ma’mumnya. Rasulullah aja kalo menjadi imam, membaca surat-surat yang ringkas. Beliau mengerti kondisi ma’mum yang beragam. Nah, baru kalo shalat sendirian (munfarid), beliau akan membaca surat-surat yang panjang, bahkan sampai kakinya sakit karena terlalu lama berdiri. Masya Allah…

Inskripsi mengenai Abrahah

Apa yang ditulis pada batuan di atas adalah inskripsi yang menerangkan kejayaan seorang panglima bernama Abrahah. Sememangnya tiada langsung pernyataan tentang kemusnahan tentera Abrahah diserang burung Ababil mahupun keinginan mereka memusnahkan Kaabah. Akan tetapi, daripada sudut yang lain, ia menunjukkan watak Abrahah memang wujud dan sememang seorang yang mempunyai ego yang tinggi. 

Daripada sudut yang lain, ia menunjukkan inskripsi ini bukan dicipta atau direka oleh seseorang yang memiliki pengetahuan tentang al-Quran atau hadis kerana tiada pernyataan tentang Nabi Muhammad atau datuknya, Abdul Mutallib. Inskripsi ini kemungkinan besar ditulis oleh seseorang atas arahan Abrahah sendiri. Di bawah adalah maksud inskripsi tersebut:

“Dengan kuasa Allah Yang Maha Kuasa, dan juruselamat(Messiah) Raja Abrahah Zeebman, Raja Saba’a, Zuridan, dan Hadramaut dan Yaman dan puak-puak  gunung dan pantai menulis ayat-ayat ini ke medan perang menentang puak Ma’Iklan, pertempuran al-Rabiya dan pada bulan ”Dhu al Thabithan” , berjuang semua Bani A’amir dan melantik Raja Abi Jabar dengan Kinda dan Al-Bishar bin Hasan dengan Sa’ad,  Murad, dan Hadramaut di hadapan tentera menentang Bani Amir dari Kinda dan Al di lembah Zu Markh dan Murad dan Sa’ad di lembah Manha dalam perjalanan untuk Serban dan membunuh dan menawan dan mengambil harta rampasan dalam kuantiti yang besar dan Raja berperang di Halbandan mencapai Ma’ad dan mengambil harta rampasan dan banduan, dan selepas itu, menakluk Omro bin al-Munzir (Abrahah) yang dilantik anak (Omro) sebagai pemerintah dan kembali dari Hal Ban (halban) dengan kuasa yang Maha Berkuasa dalam bulan A’allan Zu pada tahun 62 dan 600. ”

Sumur tentera Abrahah

Sumur ini dipercayai pernah digali oleh tentera Abrahah di sekitar Mekah sebelum bergerak untuk membinasakan Kaabah. Sumur dipercayai berjumlah 5 buah kesemuanya. Kemungkinan besar untuk menampung gajah serta kuda yang berpuluh-puluh ekor banyaknya. Melihat kepada sumur tersebut, peperangan dan pengepungan tersebut memakan masa berbulan-bulan lamanya.
