malam nisfu syaa'ban

Daripada Muaz bin Jabal radhiallahu `anhu, bersabda Rasulullah Sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam yang maksudnya :


“Allah memandang kepada semua makhlukNya di Malam Nishfu Sya’baan, maka diampunkan dosa sekalian makhlukNya kecuali orang yang menyekutukan Allah atau orang yang bermusuhan.”(Hadis riwayat Ibnu Majah, at-Thabrani dan Ibnu Hibban)


Malam nisfu Sya’ban adalah hari ke 15 Syaaban. Mengenai amalan-amalan khusus pada malam ini, aku tidak mahu nyatakan dengan lebih lanjut. Itu bergantung kepada hak individu itu sendiri dan niatnya. Ingin baca Yasin 3 kali sebelum berdoa pun tiada masalah kerana amalan ini adalah termasuk dalam bab bertawassul dengan amal soleh sebelum berdoa dan tiada ulama’ yang khilaf pada perkara tersebut. Nak baca ayat Kursiy atau al-Fatihah itu pun tidak salah. Tiap-tiap surah ada kelebihan yang tersendiri seperti yang telah warid dalam banyak hadis. Biar pun sekali ia dha’if, tetapi ia tetap menjadi hujjah buat fadhail a’mal. Biarlah kita berlapang dada. Siapa yang tak mahu, jangan pula menghalang yang lain. Apa-apa sahaja amalan boleh dilakukan tetapi yang penting sekali niat dan fahamnya ia tentang apa yang dibuatnya. Bacalah dengan tartil berserta tajwidnya. Tidak perlu gopoh untuk menghabiskan bacaan, tetapi biarlah masa itu berlalu sedang kita banyak bermunajat dengan Ilahi. Perbanyakkan solat-solat sunnat mutlaq. Maka dengan itu, mari lah sama-sama kita memperbanyakkan amalan-amalan sunnat pada malam ini. Mudah-mudahan amalan kita semua diterimaNya.

Mafhum hadis Nabi SAW : “Apabila telah masuk separuh bulan Sya‘ban maka janganlah kamu berpuasa.” (Riwayat Abu Daud)

Penting buat semua yang bermazhab Syafiie, haram dan tidak sah berpuasa selepas nisfu Syaaban yang kedua (16 Syaaban) melainkan oleh sebab-sebab yang tertentu seperti :

1) Puasa qadha’, buat yang belum menqadha’kan puasa Ramadhan tahun lepas, segeralah tunaikannya sekarang
2) Puasa kifarat
3) Puasa nazar
4) Puasa sunnat yang dihubungkan dengan nisfu pertama bulan Sya’baan
5) Puasa sunnat yang telah menjadi kebiasaannya seperti Isnin dan Khamis

Wallahu a’lam.

Indeed God and His angels bless the Prophet, Muhammad (s). O you who believe, invoke blessings on him and invoke peace upon him in a worthy manner, in other words, say: ‘O God, bless our master Muhammad and grant him peace’ (Allāhumma sallī ‘alā sayyidinā Muhammad wa-sallim).

Mari perbanyakkan selawat! Rasa kurang betul bermuhasabah diri..

Teacher and Student.

I feel excited to start blogging again, but I don't know how to do the exposition for this 'very new entry'. Blame myself for abandoning this blog for such a long hiatus. My hands are cramping and I am out of practice. Now I know why I cannot write good stories. Ever heard of this saying, "Practice makes perfect"? Telling you the truth, I, actually, am afraid of so many grammatical errors found in my writing. Therefore, English is not part of me. I am so not used to it, nor practising it in my daily life. The last I learned was in my primary school. Then, my parents sent me into this 'madrasah schooling' system or more like 'pondok's' to be specific, where there was no English's in the syllabus. Alhamdulillah, I must say that the six years passed of being a 'tolibatul 'ilm' were such a precious gift that I could not even ask for more. The 'arshad-mashaikh', the loving fellows and the lovely environment in the madrasah brought tranquility  in my heart though I still have loadddsss to better myself.

Speaking of the madrasah itself, as you are well aware, that there is no such 'perfect' or 'happily ever after' school in this world. So does my madrasah. Such barriers, imperfections, circumstances, hurtful and embarassing moments are very essential for every student because those are actually our inevitable memories to better ourselves. If not, then I must say that the student is abnormal. There must be loving murabbis and vice versa included in the 'scene' to make it more realistic. Partially agreeing on this, though.


Wait, I am trying to be specific. I was actually wanting to point out the teacher's role in teaching and educating the students. Stop comparing who is good or who is bad. I am not criticising anyone regarding this topic. Start thinking. Imagine, if you are a student, how do you like to be treated by your teachers? Then, imagine, if you are a teacher, how do you like to be treated by your students? I am giving you a simple analogy, if you are a teacher, and you know that there is one of your students, bad-mouthing you at your back, how would you feel? Same goes to when you are a student, and you know that one of your respected teachers, is bad-mouthing at your back, how would you feel?


You will feel betrayed, don't you?


You keep mentioning about 'berkat ilmu'. 'Berkat ilmu' is not something that has to do with the students only. In this case, the teachers are also related.  But before that, do you understand the exact meaning of 'berkat'. 'Berkat' means the 'ilm can benefit others and can be benefited. If you are honest in teaching and educating your students, not only your 'ilm (knowledge) can be benefited by your students in the forthcoming  time but they can benefit others in a prolonged time.



Lastly, I want you to penetrate to what I am quoting from Bai's blog, by Professor Dr. Muhammad al Mahd :

1.Find several different ways each day to remind your child that they are Khalifah of Allah.
2.Take the opportunity, a number of times each day, to give positive attention (warm praise) to your child for any good things they do or good characteristics they show.
3.Set firm, reasonable rules for your child, make sure your child understands those rules, and enforce those rules consistently with “kind” discipline (this means without harshness).
*The word 'child' can also be interpreted as 'student'. For more reference, you can simply refer to Imam Al-Zarnuji's "Instruction of  the student : The method of learning", or Imam Ghazali's "Ayyuhal Walad"
So, reach deep within ourselves and start pondering, are we doing these to our students? Hmmm. Sorry for my bad English, anyway.
Open for discussion.

The One Thing You Must Do

There is one thing in this world you must never forget to do. If you forget everything else and not this, there’s nothing to worry about, but if you remember everything else and forget this, then you will have done nothing in your life.

It’s as if a king has sent you to some country to do a task, and you perform a hundred other services, but not the one he sent you to do. So human beings come to this world to do particular work. That work is the purpose, and each is specific to the person. If you don’t do it, it’s as though a priceless Indian sword were used to slice rotten meat. It’s a golden bowl being used to cook turnips, when one filing from the bowl could buy a hundred suitable pots. It’s like a knife of the finest tempering nailed into a wall to hang things on.

You say, “But look, I’m using it. It’s not lying idle.” Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds? For a penny an iron nail could be bought. You say, “But I spend my energies on lofty projects. I study philosophy and jurisprudence, logic, astronomy, and medicine.” But consider why you do those things. They are all branches of yourself and your impressiveness.

Remember the deep root of your being, the presence of your lord. Give yourself to the one who already owns your breath and your moments. If you don’t, you’ll be like the man who takes a ceremonial dagger and hammers it into a post for a peg to hold his dipper gourd. You’ll be wasting valuable keenness and forgetting your dignity and purpose.

Ask Those Who Know


Give thanks for His unity.
He created when nothing existed.
And since we are actually nothing,
what are possessions, houses, shops?


Yunus Emre

Friday : Those Who Became Complete

Those who became complete
didn't live this life in hypocrisy,
didn't learn the meaning of things
by reading commentaries.

Reality is an ocean; the Law is a ship.
Many have never left the ship,
never jumped into the sea.

They might have come to Worship
but they stopped at rituals.
They never knew or entered the Inside.

Those who think the Four Books
were meant to be talked about,
who have only read explanations
and never entered meaning,
are really in sin.

Yunus means "true friend"
for one whose journey has begun.
Until we transform our Names,
we haven't found the Way.

Yunus Emre

____________

Read it, feel it, then reach deep within ourselves, how many vows of perpetuation towards Him being neglected?

Blessed Friday, everyone. Blessed journey, to one who's going out in the path of Him, to seek only His love and the Prophet's love. Spread the love with smiles!

Lof lof lof :)

My beloved's beloved is beloved to me.

"I said, your lips said, your lips we revive,
I said, your mouth said, sweetness we derive,
I said your words, he said, Hafiz said,
May all sweet lips be joyous and alive."

(Rubaiyat of Hafiz) - "You are my Shams of Tibriz"

_______________

May my remembrance of your Beauty last forever.

Grovelling towards You as a servant of You, greeting the voice of Your Beloved. I am here and ready to obey You!

Labbaikallahumma labbaik.

it's 3.20 am. .....................

I barely hear the recitation of Surah Luqman from my most favorite qaari, Shaikh Maher Al- Mu3aiqly, as I'm ready to close my eyes by now.


And then I smile.


*sweet dreams, everyone*

MOTTO


Even in my despair, I am loved,
Even in my distress, I am blessed,
In my test, I find ease,
and in my pain, I understand joy, even more..
I can smile when I am sad,
even if just for the reason that I simply still can........


so THANKS to YOU.

:)
