My Favorite Illness

Abu Hurayrah – may Allah be pleased with him – said: 

"There is no illness that afflicts me more beloved to me than fever: it enters every part of me and [because of it] Allah the Mighty and Sublime gives every part of me its share of reward."

Shaykh Al-Albaani’s Saheeh Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1/198.

Ilham Dan Kasyaf Dalam Islam

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem

Kasyaf kepada wali Allah ini ada banyak bahagiannya, seperti berikut:

1) Kasyaf Mata

Mata dapat melihat alam mawara-ul-maddah atau disebut sebagai alam yang seni-seni atau boleh disebutkan sebagai alam di luar kebendaan. Di sini, mata dapat melihat perkara-perkara ghaib seperti malaikat, jin dan syaitan. Kasyaf inilah yang menjadikan orang seperti Sayyidina Umar r.a nampak apa yang sedang berlaku pada tentera-tenteranya. Karamah seperti ini penting kerana dapat menyelamatkan seluruh tentera Islam.

2) Kasyaf Telinga

Kasyaf telinga disebut juga hatif. Telinga boleh mendengar benda-benda yang ghaib. Mendengar suara tetapi tidak nampak lembaganya sama ada dari jin Islam yang soleh, malaikat atau waliullah. Suara itu adakalanya membawa berita gembira, adakalanya berita yang negatif. Tujuannya ialah Allah hendak menghiburkan orang yang mendapatnya. Kalau berita itu berita gembira, boleh menggembirakannya. Sebaliknya, kalau berita itu berita duka, juga akan menggembirakannya kerana dia tahu terlebih dahulu, sekurang-kurangnya dia boleh bersiap menghadapi ujian itu. Atau dia boleh mengelak daripada bahaya itu.

3) Kasyaf Mulut

Tuhan beri kepada orang itu, lidahnya ‘masin’ seperti doanya kabul atau apa yang dia sebut terjadi sama ada jangka pendek atau jangka panjang. Juga, di mana saja dia memberi kuliah, nasihat, tunjuk ajar, berdakwah dan sebagainya, ianya mudah diterima masyarakat dan boleh mengubah hati mereka. Akhirnya berubahlah sikap masyarakat. Karamah seperti ini biasanya dikurniakan kepada pemimpin.

4) Kasyaf Akal

Mendapat ilmu yang seni-seni yang Allah SWT kurniakan pada seseorang terus jatuh ke hatinya. Ini terjadi tanpa dia belajar, tanpa membaca, tanpa mentelaah dan tanpa berguru. Dinamakan juga ilham atau ilmu laduni. Agar tidak terkeliru, perlu diingat orang yang hendak dapat ilmu laduni itu, dia mestilah dahulu ada ilmu asas iaitu ilmu fardhu ain.

5) Kasyaf Hati

Dinamakan juga firasat. Inilah kasyaf yang tertinggi daripada kasyaf-kasyaf yang disebutkan tadi. Biasanya dikurniakan kepada pemimpin . Itupun tidak banyak kerana Allah SWT kurniakan hanya kepada pemimpin-pemimpin yang sangat soleh, yang sangat sabar menanggung ujian yang begitu berat ditimpakan kepada mereka. Kasyaf hati ialah rasa hati atau gerakan hati yang tepat lagi benar. Dia boleh menyuluh mazmumah yang seni-seni yang kadang-kadang kita membaca kitab tak mengerti. Termasuk juga adalah rasa hati dapat membaca diri seseorang.

Nabi pernah bersabda, “Hendaklah kamu takuti firasat orang mukmin kerana dia melihat dengan pandangan Allah”.

Apa yang dimaksudkan dengan firasat itu ialah kasyaf hati. Orang yang mendapatnya dapat memimpin diri dan dapat memimpin orang lain. Kalau tidak, seorang itu tidak layak jadi pemimpin. Kalau dia terus memimpin rosaknya lebih banyak daripada kebaikan.

Pengetahuan mengenai gerak geri manusia, cara, sikap, perangai baik dan buruk, ucapan serta akhlak seseorang. Firasat ini diperoleh disebabkan nur yang dilemparkan oleh Allah SWT ke dalam hati orang beriman. Kuatnya firasat ini bergantung pada kuatnya keimanan. 

Allah SWT memberikannya kepada para wali-walinya yang terpilih dan juga sebagai bekal dakwah untuk menyampaikan mesej yang paling sesuai kepada mereka yang akan mendengar. Firasat ini tidak boleh diingkari sebagaimana firman Allah yang lalu pada surah Al-Hijr ayat 75. maksudnya:

"Sesungguhnya pada yang demikian itu benar-benar terdapat tanda-tanda (kekuasaan Allah) bagi orang yang memperhatikan tanda-tanda."      

  

Riwayat daripada Anas bin Malik: Satu hari Anas pergi bertemu Sayidina Usman tetapi sebelumnya beliau pergi ke pasar dan ternampak seorang wanita. Apabila Anas masuk bertemu Sayidina Usman lalu sayidina Usman berkata: “Salah sorang daripada kamu masuk bertemu ku tetapi di matanya terdapat kesan zina”.  Lalu Anas berkata: Apakah masih ada wahyu selepas Baginda? Jawab Sayidina Usman: Tidak, tetapi ini adalah firasat dan petunjuk.

Berkata Ibn Abbas: Tidak ada seorang pun yang bertanya kepada aku kecuali aku mengetahui sama ada dia seorang faqih (berilmu) atau tidak.

Keramah yang Allah SWT kurniakan kepada Tok Kenali : Suatu hari Tok Kenali terdengar orang ramai riuh rendah bersorak di Kampung Pulau Bunut (Kelantan) kerana meraikan kemenangan dalam laga lembu. Beliau menegur situasi itu dengan menyatakan," gamaknya mereka bersorak menolong rumah terbakar.

Ditakdirkan Allah, malam itu unggun api yang dipasang pemilik lembu jantan yang menang dalam temasya itu untuk mengasapkan nyamuk, merebak memusnahkan rumahnya menyebabkan dia tinggal sehelai sepinggang. Peristiwa terbabit menyebabkan penduduk Kampung Pulau Bunut dan sekitarnya meninggalkan perbuatan berlaga lembu yang berdosa dan tiada perikemanusiaan itu.

Firasat hanya akan diperoleh oleh orang-orang beriman. Berkata Abu Syuja’ al-Karmani :

"Untuk mendapat firasat ini : Sesiapa yang menjaga matanya daripada yang haram,  menjaga dirinya daripada mengikut syahwat, sentiasa menghidupkan batin dengan muraqabah kepada Allah dan tidak akan makan kecuali yang halal, maka firasatnya tidak akan tersilap."

Sahabat yang dikasihi, 

Demikianlah huraian mengenai kasyaf yang di ambil daripada hadis Nabi SAW dan kisah sahabat dan para wali Allah menjadi panduan kita semua sekiranya akan berlaku perkara-perkara luar biasa dimasa akan datang. Kita janganlah mudah terpengaruh sekiranya seseorang mendakwa bahawa dia kasyaf sedangkan peribadinya bukan seorang yang berakhlak Islam dan ianya bertentangan pula dengan al-Quran dan as-Sunnah. Kita hanya ambil dua sumber yang jelas iaitu al-Quran dan as-Sunnah , insya Allah kita tidak akan sesat selama-lamanya.

Seriously Want To Kill Your Time?

 بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

If you feel like 'killing' your free time, then it's actually.......a problem! Because time is money, time is gold, time is sword etc etc...well, you know it better than I do. Let me share some useful tips with you. Nope, I did not figure these things out by myself, some good people on iLoveAllah.com did....you can read the full article there. May Allah reward you O' servant of Allah.

1-   Doing acts of worship such as reciting dhikr and wird, praying, reading Qur’aan, fasting and thinking about the signs and blessings of Allaah.  

Solah,Dhikr and reading Qur'an may sound normal, but think again. How much time do we spare to perform these acts properly? 1 hour 5 times daily? Can it be that the time we spend watching movies is more than the time we spend on our I'badah? Let's try this. If I watch TV for 3 hours (no hal...), I'll perform my I'badah for 3 hours also....(sembahyang apa lama sangat ni..?)

2-   One should pay special attention to the Qur’aan, memorize more so that one can memorize the whole Qur’aan, before one becomes burdened with the responsibilities of life. For (reading) each letter is a hasanah, and each hasanah brings a tenfold reward. And each verse raises one in status and increases one’s reward, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Read and rise (in status), for as you used to recite in this world, your position (in the Hereafter) will be determined by the last verse you read.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1464; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Saheehah, 2240. 

3-   Adopt a cause affecting Muslim in the country where you live, such as helping to teach Muslim kids, undertaking charitable projects, and so on. 

4-   Find good and righteous friends with whom you can meet and get together. 

5-   Read Islamic books in particular and useful stories in general. 

6-   Get involved in da’wah, women’s activities and children’s sports in Islamic centres. 

7-   Listen to tapes and lectures, and write summaries which you can distribute to those who will benefit from them. 

8-   Learn some useful areas of worldly knowledge such as cooking, sewing, etc. 

9-   Learn about computers and useful programs, for this is a vast area which will take up a lot of time and can be used to do a lot of good and useful things. This will take you away from sitting in front of the TV which does not help you in any way, and does more harm than good. 

10-   You should read some books which speak of the importance of time and how to manage it; listen to some useful lectures on this topic too.

"Since when do you listen to lectures???" 

"Excuse me? On Fridays....khutbah is waajib you know."

"So what do you listen to daily?"

"Music?" 

I agree, sometimes it takes more effort for some people to listen to Islamic lectures on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. But, seriously, our Iman cannot live without it. It's food for souls. There are many good websites for this purpose, why don't try and search a bit? I'll give you a clue.....http://www.sacredlearning.org/general-talks/category (the website it's currently down, but it has really good ones.)  

Jika bertengkar........

Rabi'ah Aslami r.a. telah bercerita : "Pada suatu hari aku telah bertengkar dengan Abu Bakar (radhiallahu anh). Semasa pertengkaran itu berlaku, dia mengeluarkan sepatah kata kesat kepada aku. Dengan serta-merta dia telah menyedari kesilapannya lalu berkata: "Wahai saudara, gunakanlah perkataan itu terhadapku sebagai tindakan balas." Aku enggan berbuat demikian. Dia menggesaku supaya menggunakan perkataan kesat itu dan berkata hendak merujuk kepada Nabi SAW. Aku tidak juga mahu mengalah. Dia pun bangun meninggalkan aku. Beberapa orang dari ahli puakku yang menyaksikan peristiwa tadi mencemuh: "Ganjil betul orang ini; dia yang melakukan kesalahan dan dia pula mengancam hendak mengadukan kepada Nabi SAW." Dengan segera aku menyampuk: "Kamu tahu siapakah dia? Dia adalah Abu Bakar. Menyinggungnya bererti menyinggung Nabi dan menyinggung Nabi bererti menyinggung Allah. Kalau perbuatanku menyinggung Allah, siapakah yang akan menyelamatkan aku?" Aku pun bangun lantas pergi mendapatkan Nabi SAW, kepadanya aku bercerita apa yang telah berlaku. Baginda SAW berkata:" Keenggananmu mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat itu sudah kena pada tempatnya. Tetapi untuk mengurangkan penderitaan batinnya (Abu Bakar), sekurang-kurangnya kamu berkatalah: "Semoga Allah mengampunimu, hai Abu Bakar."

*InsyaAllah, bila hati saya sendiri tenang, saya akan buat ulasan tentang cerita ini...Sekarang fikiran tengah bercelaru dan perasaan tak teratur, nanti ayat semua jadi berterabur...By the way, all credit to: TAZKIRAH-Contoh Taqwa Abu Bakar (Radhiallahu anhu)

Suatu Kekalahan - Festival Tak Jadi

Malam tadi lepas saya log out dari account Hotmail saya, tajuk berita di homepage MSN membuatkan mata saya yang hampir terkatup terbuka luas. Malaysia Police Ban Gay Festival! Macam tak pecaya saja, tetapi Alhamdulillah, I felt very happy at that moment.
Bacalah berita selanjutnya...

"Deputy national police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said the decision to halt the three-year-old "Seksualiti Merdeka" (Sexuality Freedom) festival set for November 9-13 came after Muslims called for it to be banned.

"Police will take action... to prevent any function relating to the programme," Khalid was quoted as saying by the national Bernama news agency.

He said Muslim and other groups had protested that "the programme could create disharmony, enmity and disturb public order."

A senior police official confirmed the decision to AFP.

Festival organiser Pang Khee Pik said the announcement marked a "very tragic day for Malaysia."

"We are aware that homophobic polices in Malaysia are not isolated, but (the police decision) is a symptom of a systemic breakdown in human rights in the country," he told AFP.

Pang said 1,500 people attended the event last year and organisers had expected that to double this year.

He said the "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community of Malaysia are tired of having our rights continually taken away from us. We are tired of being bullied, harassed, persecuted and put in jail for who we are."

Pang added the festival was "likely to be cancelled and we will have to re-strategise."

The police decision came after rising pressure from Muslims, with one Islamic group threatening to protest on Friday.

Homosexuality remains a taboo subject in Muslim-majority Malaysia, where sodomy is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Last week, members of the conservative opposition Islamic party PAS called for a concert later this month by British superstar Elton John to be banned.

They said the openly gay singer promotes "hedonism" and that his sexual orientation would corrupt Muslims.

Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was quoted earlier Thursday by Bernama as calling the gay-rights festival "immoral."

"Any activity that does not benefit the majority of Malaysians should not be carried out. It's a waste of time, although they can say it's their own right and freedom," he said.

"That's why to me, it (the festival) is totally unsuitable and I don't know its benefits. I don't understand why they carry out such promotions. Is there any political agenda behind it?"

Past festivals have included a mix of gay-themed film screenings, concerts, discussion forums on homosexual issues, and other events.

The police ban on the festival comes after Prime Minister Najib Razak -- who is expected to call fresh polls within months -- in September announced plans to expand civil liberties and break with the country's authoritarian past."

Syabas dan tahniah kepada polis Malaysia atas usaha kalian. Ini adalah kemenangan sesuatu kebenaran ke atas sesuatu kebatilan. Walaupun begitu, kita masih perlu berusaha dengan lebih gigih dalam menyedarkan golongan seperti ini. Marilah kita lihat beberapa langkah yang boleh dipraktiskan bagi merawat Iman yang sakit disebabkan oleh penyakit 'gayness' ini. 

1. Strengthening his Imaan (faith), by encouraging him to do i'badaat (acts of worship) and avoid evil deeds.

2. Instilling the love of Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in his heart. 

3. Teaching him the meaning of love for the sake of Allaah. Love a person for his  faith and acts of obedience, not for his appearance, image or status.  

4. Should not make contact repeatedly or to visit frequently; explaining to him that if a legitimate  relationship (halal relationship such as brotherly love and kindness between friends) transgresses the limits it becomes haraam and must be stopped. 

5. When meeting, not allowing him to look continuously, embrace or kiss. 

6. Giving him academic or da’wah-related tasks to do, such as collecting evidence on a certain issue, or summarizing a book, or listening to tapes, or doing da’wah-related activities such as calling people to Islam, distributing pamphlets and tapes, and other things which will fill his time with beneficial acts of worship and permissible activities.

Possible Reasons for Turning Gay

Today I was checking up Hukum Tepuk Tangan, and I accidentally stumbled on something disturbing. Some people are organizing a festival called Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 which will be held on 1 Nov-13 Nov 2011. Shocked, upset, puzzled and now concerned about this matter. Saya dapat rasakan bahaya yang sangat dasyat sedang  melanda kita semua di Malaysia. As a Muslim, Malay and living in the country where all these are happening, I felt responsible. If Allah sends punishment, who can guarantee that you and I are going to be safe from it? Minta Allah jauhkan. Let's ponder over these possible reasons which lead men to turn g**. As for he who wants to save himself from this situation should examine these causes and rid himself of them. Refer to detailed advice/consultation here: http://islamqa.com/en/ref/101169


These reasons are;
1- Weakness of Imaan and remoteness of the heart from love of Allaah, and a lack of fear of His punishment.
2- Looking freely at beardless youths, and enjoying their beauty and form.
3- Not fulfilling the obligatory acts of worships (5 times daily solah, Jum'ah prayer, fasting etc)
4- Forsaking the Qur’aan and failing to read books about the lives of righteous men.
5- Falling short in seeking knowledge of Islam.
6- A lot of spare time in their lives. 

If they kept themselves busy with acts of worship, sport, permissible actions and seeking knowledge, they would not have time to spend in thinking of haraam things, let alone doing them.

7- Making friends and keeping company with bad people.

One of the gravest mistakes is to think that there is no remedy for this disease, and that the homosexual can never become straight. Allaah told the people of Loot to repent, and the Prophet of Allaah Loot (peace be upon him) advised and invited them to give up their perversion. Allaah is the Creator of man, and He knows what can be changed in man and what cannot, so have more trust in Allah and sincerely ask Him for help.


*This topic is quite 'heavy' for myself, but there's still one more thing I need to share. It's about the remedies for this matter. Percayalah, tiada penyakit yang tiada ubatnya. 

What is life all about?

When I woke up this morning, I asked myself, “What is life all about?”

I found the answer in my room. The fan said, “BE COOL.” The ceiling said, “AIM HIGH”. The window said, “SEE THE WORLD!” The clock said “EVERY MINUTE IS PRECIOUS.” The mirror said “REFLECT BEFORE YOU ACT.” The calendar said “BE UP TO DATE.” The door said “PUSH HARD FOR YOUR GOALS.” The floor said, “KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY!”

Life is about controlling your temperament. So getting angry too easily is not a good idea. Be cool, be more understanding. Over look people’s mistakes and help each other to improve. There’s always a solution to a problem. So don’t make it a big thing!

Life is about aiming high. Learn from people who are successful. You wanna ace in your exam, learn from those who have aced the exam before. And more importantly, you wanna ace your Akhirah life, you’ve gotta read more stories of the pious because they have aced their life of Akhirat!

Tick tock tick tock and every minute is precious. When you feel bored, instead of thinking of what you can do to ‘kill’ some time, why not read 1 SUBHANALLAH while playing football? Your garden (Jannah) will be decorated with 1 tree InsyaAllah. Or maybe LAA ILAHA ILLALLAH while jogging? Your sin is forgiven with every step you take. After all, you are a Muslim athletic person right? 

Now girls....Mirror, mirror on the wall! Who’s the prettiest of all?! Give some attention to your internal beauty while you care for your external beauty. Have good character with parents, siblings, friends and co-workers means no BENCI, no DENGKI, no BALAS DENDAM, no MENGUMPAT and lots more!

Nokia N9? iPad 2 ? Samsung Galaxy tablet? Be up to date with the latest gadgets, fashion and music trends? Don’t worry about that so much people, those things get out-dated too quickly. Rather up date yourself with knowledge and ‘amal’ (practice). Are you still repeating the 4 QULS (Surah Ikhlas, Falaq, Naas, and Kaafirun) in 5 times Solah? Whoa….that’s so out dated!

Alright, you want to memorize few more Surahs? Now push hard for your goal. Learn 1 new surah every week, or if you can’t do that, memorize 1 surah in one month. Come on, we have 12 months in a year. If you are consistent, you’ll know 12 new surah every year, Subhanallah. This is not just a wishful thinking. Try and you’ll see the result.

Nothing is ever too hard when we ask help from Allah the Al-Mighty and Powerful. He will make impossible things become possible and unimaginable conditions become reality.  So KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY to Allah and sincerely ask HIM to help us in every aspect of our sweet and sour life!
