A meeting with Allah . . .by Sheikh Ibn al Qayyim rahimahullah

The whole text is here:

Ibn al-Qayyim said, in regards to the description of the Paradise and the delights that it contains:

“And if you ask about its ground and its soil, then it is of musk and saffron.

And if you ask about its roof, then it is the Throne of the Most Merciful.

And if you ask about its rocks, then they are pearls and jewels.

And if you ask about its buildings, then they are made of bricks of gold and silver.

And if you ask about its trees, then it does not contain a single tree except that its trunk is made of gold and silver.

And if you ask about its fruits, then they are softer than butter and sweeter than honey.

And if you ask about its leaves, then they are softer than the softest cloth.

And if you ask about its rivers, then there are rivers of milk who’s taste does not change, and rivers of wine that is delicious to those who drink it, and rivers of honey that is pure, and rivers of water that is fresh.

And if you ask about their food, then it is fruits from whatever they will choose, and the meat of whatever birds they desire.

And if you ask about their drink, then it is Tasneem, ginger, and Kaafoor.

And if you ask about their drinking cups, then they are crystal-clear and made of gold and silver.

And if you ask about its shade, then a fast rider would ride in the shade of one of its trees for a hundred years and not escape it.

And if you ask about its vastness, then the lowest of its people would have within his kingdom and walls and palaces and gardens the distance that would be travelled in a thousand years.

And if you ask about its tents and encampments, then one tent is like a concealed pearl that is sixty miles long.

And if you ask about its towers, then they are rooms above rooms in buildings that have rivers running underneath them.

And if you ask about how far it reaches into the sky, then look at the shining star that is visible, as well as those that are far in the heavens that the eyesight cannot possibly reach.

And if you ask about the clothing of its inhabitants, then they are of silk and gold.

And if you ask about its beds, then its blankets are of the finest silk laid out in the highest of its levels.

And if you ask about the faces of its inhabitants and their beauty, then they are like the image of the Moon.

And if you ask about their age, then they are young ones of 33 years in the image of Adam, the father of humanity.

And if you ask about what they will be hearing, then it is the singing of their wives from among the Hoor al-’Ayn, and better than that are the voices of the Angels and the Prophets, and better than that is the Speech of the Lord of the Worlds.

And if you ask about their servants, then they are young boys of everlasting youth who resemble scattered pearls.

And if you ask about their brides and wives, then they are young and full-breasted and have had the liquid of youth flow through their limbs; the Sun runs along the beauty of her face if she shows it, light shines from between her teeth if she smiles; if you meet her love, then say whatever you want regarding the joining of two lights; he sees his face in the roundness of her cheek as if he is looking into a polished mirror, and he sees the brightness from behind her muscles and bones; if she were to be unleashed upon the World, she would fill what is between the Heavens and the Earth with a beautiful wind, and the mouths of the creation would glorifiy, praise, and exclaim greatness, and everything between the East and the West would be adorned for her, and every eye would be shut from everthing but her, and the light of the Sun would be outshone just as the light of the Sun outshines the light of the stars, and everyone on the face of the Earth would believe in the Ever-Living, the One who Sustains and Protects all the exists.

And the covering on her head is better than the World and all that is in it, and she does not increase with age except in beauty; free from an umbilical cord, childbirth and menses, and pure of mucous, saliva, urine and other filthy things; her youth never fades, her clothing is never worn out, no garment can be created that matches her beauty, and no one who is with her can ever become bored; her attention is restricted to her husband, so she desires none but him, just as his attention is restricted to her so she is the sole object of his desire, and he is with her in utmost safety and security, as none has touched her before of either humans or Jinn.

And if you ask about the Day of Increase (in reward) and the visit of the all-Mighty, all-Wise, and the sight of His Face – free from any resemblance or likeness to anything – as you see the Sun in the middle of the day and the full Moon on a cloudless night, then listen on the day that the caller will call: ‘O People of Paradise! Your Lord – Blessed and Exalted – requests you to visit Him, so come to visit Him!’ So they will say: ‘We hear and obey!’

Until, when they finally reach the wide valley where they will all meet – and none of them will turn down the request of the caller – the Lord – Blessed and Exalted – will order His Chair to be brought there. Then, pulpits of light will emerge, as well as pulpits of pearls, gemstone, gold, and silver. The lowest of them in rank will sit on sheets of musk, and will not see what those who are on the chairs above them are given. When they are comfortable where they are sitting and are secure in their places, and the caller calls: ‘O People of Paradise! You have an appointment with Allaah in which He wishes to reward you!’ So they will say: ‘And what is that reward? Has He not already made our faces bright, made our scales heavy, entered us into Paradise, and pushed us away from the Fire?’

And when they are like that, all of a sudden a light shines that encompasses all of Paradise. So, they raise their heads, and, behold: the Compeller – Exalted is He, and Holy are His Names – has come to them from above them and majestified them and said: ‘O People of Paradise! Peace be upon you!’ So, this greeting will not be responded to with anything better than: ‘O Allaah! You are Peace, and from You is Peace! Blessed are You, O possessor of Majesty and Honor!’ So the Lord – Blessed and Exalted – will laugh to them and say: ‘O People of Paradise! Where are those who used to obey Me without having ever seen Me? This is the Day of Increase!’

So, they will all give the same response: ‘We are pleased, so be pleased with us!’ So, He will say: ‘O People of Paradise! If I were not pleased with you, I would not have made you inhabitants of My Paradise! So, ask of Me!’ So, they will all give the same response: ‘Show us your Face so that we may look at it!’ So, the Lord – Mighty and Majestic – will remove his covering and will majestify them and will cover them with His Light, which, if Allaah – the Exalted – had not Willed not to burn them, would have burned them.

And there will not remain a single person in this gathering except that his Lord – the Exalted – will speak to him and say: ‘Do you remember the day that you did this and that?’ and He will remind him of some of his bad deeds in the Worldy life, so he will say: ‘O Lord! Will you not forgive me?’ So, He will say: ‘Of course! You have not reached this position of yours (in Paradise) except by my forgiveness.’

So, how sweet is this speech to the ears, and how cooled are the righteous eyes by the glance at His Noble Face in the Afterlife…

{Some faces that Day will be shining and radiant, looking at their Lord…} (al-Qiyaamah:22-3)

Who Is Zainab Al-Ghazali?

Zaynab al-Ghazali is a woman of another kind. Like Aisha Abd al-Rahman, she is Egyptian and defends the rights of Muslim women in accordance with what she perceives to be the correct Islamic doctrine, and like her she is the daughter of an Azhar-educated father. But she has been an organizer of women and an Islamic activist, rather than an Islamic scholar. Early in her youth, she was an active member of the Egyptian Feminist Union, founded by Huda al-Sha`rawi in 1923. She resigned her membership in disagreement with the ideas and ideals of the women's liberation movement and, at the age of eighteen in 1936, she founded the Muslim Women's Association in order to organize women's activities according to Islamic norms and for Islamic purposes.

The Society of the Muslims Brothers, founded by Hasan al-Banna in 1928, was thinking of creating a division of the Muslim Sisters at the time, and Hasan al-Banna asked Zaynab al-Ghazali to head that division and incorporate into it her new Muslim Women's Association. She and her association's general assembly rejected the offer, but promised cooperation. After the Society of the Muslim Brothers was dissolved in 1948, she gave personal pledge of allegiance to Hasan al-Banna in 1949 to support him and back his efforts to establish an Islamic state. Though he was assassinated soon afterwards, she continued her personal allegiance to his successors in the society and helped their members, particularly after they went underground during Abd al-Nasir's regime in the 1950s and 1960s.

In an interview at home in Heliopolis, Egypt in 1981 Zaynab al-Ghazali said:


Islam has provided everything for both men and women. It gave women everything--freedom, economic rights, political rights, social rights, public and private rights. Islam gave women rights in the family granted by no other society. Women may talk of liberation in Christian society, Jewish society, or pagan society, but in Islamic society it is a grave error to speak of the liberation of women. The Muslim woman must study Islam so she will know that it is Islam that has given her all her rights.
This is the core of Zaynab al-Ghazali's thought regarding the status of women as expressed in her public lectures and her articles in al-Da`wa magazine, for which she was editor of a section devoted to the ideals of a good Muslim home. The thrust of her activism and that of her association is an educational one: to instill the doctrines of Islam in women's minds, teach them about their rights and duties and call her change in society leading to the establishment of an Islamic state which rules by the Quran and the Sunna of the Prophet.

Zaynab al-Ghazali believes that Islam permits women to take an active part in public life, to hold jobs, enter politics and express their opinion. She believes Islam permits them to own property, do business and be anything they wish to be in the service on an Islamic society. Yet she believes that a Muslim woman's first duty is to be a mother and a wife, and that no other activity should interfere with this role of hers, for this should have priority over everything else. If she has free time to participate in public life after her first duty is fulfilled, she may do so because Islam does not forbid her.

Zaynab al-Ghazali strongly believes in the religious and social duty of being married. In her first marriage, her husband did not agree with her Islamic activism and so she got a divorce in accordance with a marriage precondition. Her second husband was more understanding and undertook in writing to assist her and never to prevent her from fulfilling her mission in the service of the Islamic cause. In her autobiographical book, Ayyam min Hayati, she tells how, though worried about her, her husband continued to support her in her activities; she emphasizes, however, that she never neglected him or her family duties, even as she continued to be president of the Muslim Women's Association, to work long hours at its headquarters and to be personally involved in the clandestine activities of the Society of the Muslim Brothers. After her second husband's death, she felt that she had done her duty in marriage and was free to devote all her time to the cause of Islam.

Like many Muslim activists disenchanted with the 1952 Egyptian revolution which many of them supported at the beginning, Zaynab al-Ghazali considered Abd al-Nasir and his regime to be enemies of Islam. After some members of the Society of the Muslim Brothers were sentenced to death and many others imprisoned, she started programs to take care of their orphans and widows, to cater to the needy and unemployed among those released or at large, to help their families and in general to sue her position as president of the Muslim Women's Association to do social work that was greatly needed. She also intensified her educational activities and participated in secret Islamic study groups guided by the leadership of the Muslims Brothers in prison. By 1962, she had established contact with Sayyid Qutb in prison through his two sisters and received his approval of an Islamic course of readings in commentaries on the Quran and the Hadith as well as in Islamic jurisprudence. She also received from him sections of a book he was writing in prison, later to be published under the title Ma`alim fil Tariq.

Pages from this book and instructions from Sayyid Qutb in prison, along with the set verses from the Quran, would be studied by groups of five to ten young men meeting at night in the home of Zaynab al-Ghazali or elsewhere. Discussions followed and views were established and opinions formed. With the agreement of Sayyid Qutb and the Muslim Brother's leadership, it was decided that this Islamic training program should continue for thirteen years, which is the duration of Prophet Muhammad's call in Mecca before he moved to Medina and established the Islamic state. It was also decided that at the end of this period, a survey would be conducted in Egypt to find whether at least 75 percent of Egyptian men and women were convinced on the necessity of establishing an Islamic state. If so, they would call for one; if not, they would continue their study and learning for another thirteen years--this to be repeated again and again until the nation was ready to accept Islamic rule, implementing Islamic law in accordance with the Quran and the Sunna of the Prophet.

When the Egyptian government became suspicious and these secret groups looked to it like seditious political cells, a crackdown on Muslim Brothers took place in 1965. Muslim Sisters were not spared, the Muslim Women's Association was dissolved, and Zaynab al-Ghazali among others, was imprisoned. She was brought to trial with several others in 1966 and sentenced to hard labor for life, but she was released in 1971. In the open Islamic resurgence in Egypt which became stronger after the death of Abd al-Nasir in 1970 and since Sadat replaced him as Egyptian president, she was continued to be an active speaker and teacher of Islam, calling for the establishment of an Islamic state as the ideal toward which all Muslims should strive in order to have a society which is divinely guided by the Quran and the Sunna of Prophet Muhammad.

Zaynab al-Ghazali's ideas regarded the would-be Islamic state are very general and lack specificity on many points. Her believe in it, however, is no weaker for that reason. She believes there is no Islamic state on earth at present, i.e., one totally bound by the Shari`a and implementing it fully; not even Pakistan or Saudi Arabia qualifies to be called an Islamic state in her view. She supports the Iranian revolution and hopes its regime will soon become settled so tat it can devote its efforts to solving its internal and external problems. The penal code of the Islamic Shari`a should not be applied now, but it should rather be postponed until an Islamic state is established and the Shari`a can be fully implemented. Allegiance should be given to an Islamic ruler by general election or by the group traditionally knows as ahl al-Hall wal `aqd who are honest, wise, experiences and righteous people who, according to her, could be chosen, appointed or elected, no specific system being involved. She believes Islam forbids that the headship of the Islamic state be a hereditary position. One who is head may be called a caliph or a president, and it is conceivable that there could be two caliphs at one time because of the expanse of the Islamic world; but the two should be united and their two armies should fight for the same cause. A caliph should have a council of advisers who are experts in various fields so that he can remain trustworthy and acceptable to the people who elected him. According to her, Islam does not accept a multi-party system because it has its own self-contained system, the Muslim people having the right in it to chose their ruler and the duty to obey him so long as he adheres to the true path of Islam. Other systems or regimes are man-made and inferior to Islam's, which is made by God. Non-Muslim believers will be treated by the Islamic state in accordance with the prescriptions of the Quran and the Sunna, and non-believers likewise. Zaynab al- Ghazali believes the Islamic system will bring justice to everyone, but Muslims must first be united. There can be differences of opinion among Muslims on issues over which their ranks will not be divided: they may differ on means but not on ends, where the goal should always remain unity.

Nikmatnya Bila Syara' Dijaga

Hari ini sahabat-sahabat Haluansiswi diberi peluang oleh Allah untuk pergi berenang di salah sebuah kolam renang di tempat Haluansiswi. Kolam renang ini Alhamdulillah agak soleh suasananya kerana sekitarnya dipagari tembok batu yang tinggi. (andaikata kita diluar tak mampu menjengguk aktiviti didalamnya). Selain itu, terdapat satu lagi faktor yang membuatkan kami selesa berenang disana... kolam renang tersebut telah menetapkan had atau giliran hari kepada lelaki dan perempuan untuk berenang disitu... hari untuk kaum hawa pergi berenang disitu adalah hari selasa dan rabu petang, sementara Isnin, Khamis dan Jumaat petang pula khusus untuk lelaki. bayaran yang dikenakan pun amat murah..semurah RM2 sahaja...memang best...ada dikalangan sahabat haluansiswi yang belum pernah sampai kesitu so apalagi... dah terbayanglah keseronokkan yang bakal dikecapi nanti... namun ada satu yang menggusarkan sahabat tersebut- "boleh ke masuk kalau tak pakai pakaian renang??".. sahabat haluansiswi yang di panggil H telah menenangkan rakannya F - " ish..anti ni..ana dah mai tiga kali dah..pakai t-shrt labuh dengan seluar panjang nih- tak dak lah pulak kena halau..anti tak yah bimbanglah.."

Kami pun mula menyalin pakaian di tempat yang disediakan, pada mulanya suasana di situ amat tenang.. belum ramai wanita-wanita yang datang membanjiri kawasan tersebut..namun selang lima belas minit kemudian datanglah wanita-wanita tak kira tua dan muda, ada yang seksi dan ada yang menutup aurat sekadarnya memenuhi kolam renang tersebut...mereka benar-benar "berpakaian renang" seperti yang dikehendaki...seksi habis.. naik malu kami dibuatnya.. Oleh kerana kami berempat adalah yang paling ganjil disitu.. maka menjadi perhatianlah kami disitu... ialah.. mana ada orang yang pakai macam kami..bertudung, berseluar panjang dan baju labuh untuk berenang....Allah..., sebenarnya kami taklah malu..malah kami rasa begitu 'izzah dapat menjaga syara' walaupun berenang- masih lagi aurat terjaga...walaupun semuanya wanita, perasaan malu sepatutnya ada...macam-macam ragam mereka disitu...yang sukar untuk kami coretkan disini...namun pengajaran berharga banyak yang kami dapat..semasa pulang menaiki kereta semua sahabat-sahabat haluansiswi berbincang pengalaman masing-masing dan kami berazam minggu depan kami akan cuba melakukan dakwah fardiyyah- mendekati mereka-mereka itu...yang penting taaruf dengan mereka amat perlu..tidak kira siapa mereka, mereka tetap mad'u kita..Islam perlu disampaikan..itulah azam kami.... H pun berkongsi cerita..pada minggu lepas, dia ada pergi berenang disitu...dia menegur seorang wanita dengan seorang anaknya barangkali, berumur dalam 4 tahun- namun amat memeranjatkan- setiap kali dia bertanya pada wanita tersebut.. "ini anak akak ya? " wanita tersebut membalas- "entahlah...tak tahu siapa dia..mak bapak dia bodoh...dia pun bodoh" kecut perut dibuatnya sahabat haluansiswi ni...MasyaAllah...dasyatnya perkataan kejian wanita ni.. tapi bila H memandangnya tak lah pulak nampak bodoh...setelah ditaaruf lagi lebih mendalam barulah diketahui rupa-rupanya itu bukanlah anaknya- itu adalah anak luar nikah adiknya dan wanita tersebut rasa amat terbeban kerana terpaksa menjaga budak tersebut setelah dia pulang dari Australia...wanita terbabit setelah melihat kesungguhan H tadi terus bertanya.."macammana nak buat ya dengan dia? jahat sangat..nakal,degil tak dengar cakap orang" H pun membalas pada wanita tersebut..."akak..jalan terbaik buat dia ialah ajarilah dia dengan Islam..InsyaAllah kak.." kata H pada kami "itu aja yang termampu ana ucapkan..dan ana amat berharap ana akan bertemu lagi dengan kakak tu..kesian kan.." kami yang mendengar ceritanya menggangguk juga....moga Allah bagi kekuatan pada kita untuk terus menyampaikan Islam walau dimana kita berada...amat kasihan melihat gelagat umat ini..mereka amat dahaga cahaya Islam...marilah wahai teman-teman semua..kita bersama berganding bahu untuk "ISLAH NAFSAKA..WAD'U GHAIRUKA"... berenang sambil berdakwah :)

Pendorong Untuk Beramal

Setiap amalan ataupun kerja yang mahu dilaksanakan, sebelumnya, pastinya terdapat sesuatu yang mendorong atau menolak manusia untuk melakukannya. Samaada pendorong itu kuat atau lemah, namun pendorong itu tetap wujud.

Pelbagai Pendorong

Antara pendorong bagi manusia melakukan amal:
1. Harta benda- manusia sanggup bersusaj payah untuknya. Inilah pengaruh yang paling ramai mempengaruhi manusia
2. Kemasyuran, pangkat, pujian dan yang seangkatan dengannya. Pelbagai strategi yang dilakukan serta berbagai tindakan yang dilakukan demi mendapatkan kemasyhuran. Tidak kurang juga jumlah manusia yang mengambil factor-faktor ini sebagai pendorong-pendorong ini. Bagi mukmin, keadaan ini adalah amat merbahaya dan perlu diubati segera.
3. Wanita, ini juga menjadi pendorong kepada manusia terutamnya bagi golongan pemuda.

Inilah diantara contoh dorongan yang mendorong manusia melakukan sesuatu. Hakikatnya memang manusia memerlukan pendorong. Andainya pendorongnya itu lemah maka lemahlah amalnya, namun sebaliknya andainya pendorong tersebut kuat maka kuatlah amalnya. Samaada pendorong itu betul atau tidak, namun pendorong itulah mempengaruhi amal.
Pendorong sebenar
Sudah tentu kita perlukan pendorong yang betul dan kuat. Pendorong yang berbeza daripada pendorong-pendoron manusia biasa. Kita memerlukan pendorong yang betul, hakiki dan abadi. Tahukah anda apa pendorongnya???

ITULAH IMAN!!!

• Sesungguhnya dorongan IMAN adalah dorongan yang sebenar, yang datang dari lubuk hati, yang yakin kepada Allah SWT.
• Sesungguhnya dorongan IMAN adalah lebih kuat , gagah, stiqamah dan menjamin keiltizaman.
• Sesungguhnya pendorong IMAN lebih bersih, suci dan dirasai nikmatnya oleh orang-orang mukmin.

HAKIKATNYA IMANLAH yang MENDORONG ORANG-ORANG MUKMIN MELAKUKAN PERINTAH –PERINTAH ALLAH SWT

Adapun pendorong-pendorong lain boleh membawa kepada syirik dan sia-sia. Alangkah ruginya kehidupan kita sekiranya pendorong yang mendorong amal kita adalah berunsurkan syirik kepada Allah dan amal kita sia-sia seperti debu ditiup angin… syirik telah berlaku dalam kehidupan masyarakat akibat manusia tidak memahami tauhid dan hakikat ubudiyah kepada Allqh. Kita sentiasa disuruh dan digesa untuk menyemak tujuan dan niat supaya ia beiarlah benar-benar untuk mencari keredhaan Allah SWT.

Dua Punca Kekuatan

Dua perkara utama yang menjadi punca kekuatan ialah hati dan aqal yang mana ia adalah kurniaan Allah yang amat berharga. Fitrah hati ingin kembali kepada Allah, berhubung dan merujuk kepada Allah serta inginkan kurniaanNYa. Manusia akan menjadi kuat apabila hatinya betul-betul dengan Allah. Sebaliknya, apabila hati ada gangguan dan halangan maka manusia akan menjadi lemah. Begitu juga aqal- jika diberi haq dan benar-benar digunakannya serta diberikan kebebasan untuk mencari kebenaran maka pasti aqal itu menemui kebenaran. Aqal itu firahnya sentiasa berpihak kepada kebenaran dan ianya akan menuju Allah SWT.

Sebagaimana hadith Rasulullah yang diriwayatkan oleh Tarmizi:

“ Tidakklah beruntung seseorang lelaki dengan mendapat sesuatu pemberian sebagaimana beruntungnya mendapat nikmat aqal yang membimbingnya kepada kebaikan dan menahannya daripada kebinasaan”
“Allah tidak menjadikan sesuatu kejadian lebih mulia daripada aqal”

Oleh itu, hati dan aqal adalah nikmat Allah yang amat bernilai sesuai dengan kejadian manusia sebagai khalifah. Namun begitu terdapat dua halangan bagi aqal dan hati iaitu nafsu dan syaitan yang mana ia menghijab dan mengganggu manusia daripada mendapat nur Allah. Sekiranya halangan-halangan ini tiada maka manusia akan Nampak nur Allah SWT.
Sebagaimana tersebut dalah hadith Rasulullah yang diriwayatkan oleh Ahmad. Bahawa Rasulullah telah bersabda:

“Kalaulah tidak kerana syaitan mengelilingi dan menghasut hati anak Adam nescaya mereka dapat menjangkau akan kekuasaan Allah di langit dan di bumi”

Oleh itu jika manusia tidak diganggu oleh syaitan dan nafsu maka pengamatannya akan menjadi cukup tinggi. Begitulah hebatnya potensi manusia.

NUZUL AL-QUR'AN: KEMBALI KEPADA PENGHAYATAN SEBENAR

Sempena sambutan Nuzul Qur'an, mari kita kembali kepada penghayatan Al-Qur'an yang sebenar. Hayati sajak berikut. Moga ia membantu..

KOBARKAN SEMANGAT CINTAKAN AL-QUR'AN

Bacalah Al-Qur’an kerana ALLAH
Bukan baca kerana terpaksa
Jagalah adab-adabnya
Bukan baca sambil lewa
Tak faham… entah apa yang ALLAH kata.

Ambillah sedikit masa
Bacalah ayat-ayatNYA
Kalau novel…
Dibacanya dari kulit ke kulit sampai ke "happy ending"nya
Kalau surat khabar…
Di belek-beleknya dari muka ke muka sampai lunyai jadinya
Kalau depan TV…
Terbuai jiwanya dari satu drama ke satu drama
Berlagu riang hatinya dari satu irama ke satu irama….

Inikan pula kitab ALLAH
Yang Allah janjikan syurga untuk hamba-hambaNYA
Yang Rasulullah kata
Andai 1 huruf dibaca…1 hingga 10 pahalanya
Bayangkanlah ….
114 surah ada 6666 ayat
Ada lebih 77 000 kalimah
Ini belum lagi dikira jumlah huruf-hurufnya
Berapa agaknya pahalanya kalau kita khatam semuanya?
Tak terkira kita!
Tak terkeluar dalam kalkulator biasa nombor-nombornya.
Tak terujakah kita?
Tak tergugahkah kita?
Tak terhiburkah kita?
Tak teringinkah kita?
Tak terbuaikah kita?
Tak merindukah kita?
Tak termotivasikah kita?

Berlumba-lumbalah kumpul pahala
Moga dapat mahligai di syurga
Berlomba-lombalah jauhi lalai dan dosa
Moga tidak jadi …
Bahan bakar api neraka.

Bacalah Kalamullah…
Walau sesibuk mana
Kalau sehari tak mampu semuka
Satu ayatpun tak apa
Yang penting…
Berterusanlah sampai remaja
Berterusannya sampai dewasa
Berterusanlah sampai ke tua
Berterusanlah sampai……..?
Tak ada masa juga?
Seminggu satu ayat macamana?
Tak boleh juga??
Entahlah… Tak tau saya nak kata apa
Jawablah depan ALLAH!

Bacalah! Fahamilah! Yakinilah! Hayatilah! Amalkanlah!
Bukan sekadar dilagu-lagukan jadi halwa telinga
Dikagumi kemerduan gemersik alunannya
Tapi… tak mampu meningkat taqwa
Tak mampu melonjak kerja
Bukan sekadar diukir-ukir jadi hiasan
Diagung-agungkan kehalusan seninya
Tapi… tak mampu menghiasi jiwa
Tak mampu merubah sahsiah.

Contohilah sahabat generasi awal
Dijuluki Generasi Al-Qur’an yang unik
Diibaratkan Al-Qur’an yang berjalan
Apa rahsianya?
Ayat-ayat ALLAH…
Diterima ayat-demi ayat
Terus hafal, fahami, resapi dalam hati
Jadi sahsiah diri
Jadi perlembagaan negeri
Jadi peraturan dan motivasi diri.
Al-Qur’an merubah jiwa mereka
Dari jahiliah menuju taqwa
Al-Qur’an merubah visi hidup mereka
Dari hamba jadi perwira
Al-Qur’an melonjakkan potensi mereka
Hingga …Boleh kuasai 2/3 dunia.
Hebatkan mereka?

Berbeza sungguh dengan kita di zaman ini
Dilekatnya di dinding-dinding dijadikan hiasan
Dilantun-lantunkan supaya cepat-cepat khatam
Dialun-alunkan untuk dipertanding-tandingkan
Disimpannya dalam rak sampai berdebu tak ketemu.
Ada pula tu…
Masa takut jin dan syaitan
Barulah terkial-kial cari dimana diletaknya Al-Qur’an?
Entahkan ada entahkan tidak
Barulah terkumat-kamit mulutnya
Dengan Ayatul Qursi-nya (2:255)
Dengan Wattabau’-nya (2:102)
Dengan Afahasibtum-nya (23:115-118)
Ataupun dengan Yasin-nya.
Yang lebih menakjubkan…
Al-Baqarah dikhatamnya hanya semalaman!
Entahkan betul entahkan tidak
Entahkan faham entahkan tidak.
Manakan syaitan nak lari
Manakan ALLAH nak tolong
Kalau tak ada kekhusyukan!
Tak ada penghayatan!
Tak ada pengharapan!
Tak ada keikhlasan!

Itulah sikap-sikap kita!
Itulah perlecehan-lerlecehan kita!
Malah tanpa kita sedari
Itulah penghinaan-penghinaan kita!
Kita ibarat…
Hanya mengejar nikmat setitis air
Berbanding nikmatnya seluas lautan.

Akhirnya…
Kita terhina dan terjajah
Kita hilang kekuatan dan kehebatan
Kita diperkotak-katikkan dan diperlekeh-lekehkan
Kita ibarat buih di lautan
Tiada kualiti tiada kekuatan
Kita ramai…
Hampir kuasai 2/3 populasi dunia
Tapi..tidak digeruni, apatah lagi disanjungi
Malah…
Di bantai pula sesuka hati
Dikeronyok! Diterajang habis-habisan!
Dibaham rakus !
Oleh anjing-anjing zionis yahudi laknatullah
Yang dahagakan darah kita!

Malangnya kita tak boleh buat apa-apa
Kita tak rasa masalah umat masalah kita
Tak rasa masalah Palestin masalah kita
Tak rasa masalah Iraq masalah kita
Tak rasa masalah Afghanistan masalah kita
Tak rasa masalah dunia Islam masalah kita.
Cukupkah sahaja kita bincang-bincangkan?
Kita seminar-seminarkan?
Kita forum-forumkan?
Kita slogan-slogankan?
Tanpa buat apa-apa?
Jadi OIC sajalah kita!

Wahai saudaraku seagama…
Hayunkan langkah bina kekuatan
Binalah iman,
Kuasailah ilmu,
Perbaikilah akhlak
Itulah tunjang kekuatan
Kuat kita kuatlah Islam.

Kembalilah kepada Al-Qur’an
Hidupkan sunnah dalam kehidupan
Kembalilah kepada Islam
Jadikan ALLAH hanya tujuan.
Agar nanti... bisa kita pimpin dunia
Berlandaskan Al-Qur'an dan As-Sunnah
Bertunjangkan hukum dan syariat ALLAH
Agar kelak… bisa kita warisi jannah!

Hari ini siswihauan berhajat utuk berkongsi dengan pembaca berkenaan tajuk diatas iaitu "Tanda-tanda mencintai Allah"



Sebagai seorang Mukmin sudah semestinya kita mengharapkan adanya perasaan mencintai Allah melebihi segala-galanya. Namun marilah kita sama-sama merasai dalam-dalam hati kita... adakah ada rasa cinta itu di hati kita? cinta pada Allah..cinta pada semua suruhannya..cinta pada KalamNya...cinta pada apa yang perlu dincintai dariNya....marilah sama-sama kita bermuhasabah...bagaimana ya para sahabat RA mencintai Allah dalam kehidupan mereka? Bagaimana ya mahu memupuk rasa cinta kita kepada Allah sebagaimana para sahabat mencintai Allah dalam setiap amal perbuatan mereka? Allah...Betulkah benar-benar ada dalam hati ini perasaan cinta pada Mu??

Marilah sama-sama kita melihat 10 tanda mencintai Allah, dan selepas itu mari kita renung dalam-dalam hati kita ada tak tanda-tanda tersebut dalam diri kita...

Ok sekarang siswihaluan akan menulis satu persatu tanda-tanda tersebut ya...

1- Terasa terlalu ingin bertemu dengan Allah, memandang WajahNya yang penuh kemuliaan, melihat ZatNya yang Maha Agung. Untuk bertemu dengan Allah perlu melalui proses kematian. Bagi orang yang beriman ia tidak rasa berat untuk meninggalkan dunia ini dan bertemu Kekasih hati. Namun bagi mereka yang selalu bergelumang dengan dosa dan maksiat tentunya amat takut dengan kematian kerana merasakan belum cukup amalan yang akan membantunya di akhirat nanti.Sekiranya kita menyintai Allah dan berhajat bertemu denganNya..Allah juga menyintai hambaNya dan ingin bertemu dengan hamba yang menyintaiNya..orang yang beriman tidak perlu untuk takut dengan kematian..tapi andainya kita takut menghadapi mati disebabkan bimbang amal yang kurang adalah lebih baik dari takutkan kematian kerana tidak boleh meninggalkan dunia,harta, anak dan isteri.

2- Suka bermunajat kepada Allah, menyukai Kalamnya iaitu Al-Quran kerana bagi orang mukmin yang cintakan Allah ketika membaca Al-Quran, mereka merasakan seolah-olah Allah sedang berbicara dengan mereka,Allah sedang menegur mereka,Allah sedang menasihati mereka..tatkala solat pula mereka merasa tenteram dan damai kerana ketika itu mereka merasakan mereka berkata-kata dengan Allah. Oleh itu, untuk mengukur tanda yang kedua ini. cuba kita sama-sama 'chek' adakah kita rasa seronok ketika menunaikan solat atau kita rasa terpaksa atau kita sekadar melaksanakan rutin harian ...sama-samalah kita muhasabah...

InsyaAllah siswihaluan akan menyambung kembali tanda-tanda mencintai Allah seterusnya..selamat bermuhasabah..moga kita tergolong dikalangan mereka yang mencintai Allah.

Erti Pengorbanan dan Kasih Sayang Si Penguin

Macammana dah tengok video ini?
Terharukan...

Betapa hebatnya ciptaan Allah...Subhanallah, Allah Hu Akbar!!! Haiwan pun Allah tunjukkan betapa hebatnya erti kasih sayang dan pengorbanan walaupun mereka tidak beraqal. Allah kurniakan ilham kepada penguin untuk menjadi contoh tauladan bagi manusia yang mahu berfikir dan bermuhasabah. Banyak ayat-ayat didalam al-Quran yang menyuruh kita memandang alam ini dengan berfikir, merenung, mengkaji dan mencari erti di sebalik kejadian dan kehebatan penciptaanNya...

TIDAKKAH KAMU TERFIKIR???

Pertama kali melihat video tersebut, menangis hati ini, terlalu kagum dan ta'jub dengan pemandangan tersebut...Subhanallah Hebatnya...bergetar perasaan saat melihat betapa sabarnya ayah/suami penguin bertahan dalam kesejukkan yang tak terhingga memelihara telur di kakinya selama 4 bulan...andai kitalah yang begitu, sanggupkah???

Saat lahirnya sang anak- kembalilah ibunya ke daratan- berkejar-kejar mendapatkan suami dan anaknya- sejenak membuatkan ku terfikir

"nampak semua penguin sama ja...macammana dia kenal suami dan anaknya ya?"

Subhanallah walhamdulillah Allah Hu Akbar... tiada kata lagi yang mampu ku ucapkan...
