Amalan tak seberat sayap nyamuk (Tazkirah 7)

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ الْعَظِيمُ السَّمِينُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يَزِنُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ وَقَالَ اقْرَءُوا

{ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْنًا }

 

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda : Sesungguhnya akan datang seorang lelaki yang besar dan gemuk pada hari kiamat tetapi beratnya tidak sampai kepada beratnya sayap nyamuk. Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda : Bacalah jika kamu mahu (iaitu ayat quran)

kami tdk akan mengadakan suatu penilaian bagi (amalan) mereka pada hari kiamat

(al kahfi 105)

Rasulullah s.a.w dilarang berdoa untuk munafik yang sudah mati (Tazkirah 6)

عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ قَمِيصَهُ يُكَفِّنُ فِيهِ أَبَاهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَأَخَذَ بِثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ نَهَاكَ رَبُّكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَنِي اللَّهُ فَقَالَ

{ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً }

وَسَأَزِيدُهُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ

{ وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ }

 

Daripada Ibnu Umar radiallahuanhuma, beliau berkata : Ketika wafatnya Abdullah Bin Ubai, Anaknya iaitu Abdullah Bin Abdullah datang kepada Rasulullah s.a.w. Beliau meminta supaya Rasulullah s.a.w memberikan bajunya untuk dikafankan bapanya lalu Rasululah s.a.w memberikan bajunya.Kemudian beliau meminta supaya Rasulullah s.a.w mensolatkan untuk bapanya. Rasulullah s.a.w pon berdiri untuk mensolatkan bapanya. Lalu datanglah Umar kepada Rasulullah s.a.w dan berkata : Wahai Rasulullah, kamu solatkan untuknya sedangkan Allah s.w.t melarang kamu daripada solat untuknya. Rasulullah s.a.w seraya berkata “ sesungguhnya Allah s.w.t memberikan aku pilihan”. Sebagaimana sabda Allah s.w.t “Kamu memohonkan ampun bagi mereka atau tidak kamu mohonkan ampun bagi mereka (adalah sama saja). Walaupun kamu memohonkan ampun bagi mereka tujuh puloh kali”.(At Taubah 80)

“Aku akan melakukan lebih dari 70 kali”. Umar berkata : Beliau (Abdullah bin Ubai) adalah munafik. Rasulullah s.a.w lalu mensolatkan untuknya. Lalu turunlah ayat seterusnya . Firman Allah s.w.t :”Dan janganlah kamu sekali-kali menyembahyangkan (jenazah) seorang yg mati di antara mereka dan janganlah kamu berdiri (mendoakan ) di kuburnya”. (At Taubah 84)

Panduan Untuk Anak Dalam Islam

الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَ

Harta dan anak-anak adalah perhiasan kehidupan dunia tetapi amalan-amalan yang kekal lagi saleh adalah lebih baik pahalanya di sisi tuhanmu serta lebih baik untuk menjadi harapan. (Al Kahfi 46)

 

Bahagian Pertama : Ketika dilahirkan

1)      Bergembira apabila menerima anak

 

Allah s.w.t berfirman :

أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحْيَى 

Sesungguhnya Allah menggembirakan kamu (nabi Zakariyya) dengan kelahrian (seorang putera) Yahya. (Al-Imrab 39)

 

 

2)      Disunatkan mengazankan di telingga yang kanan.

 

  عن أبي رافع قال رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم  ( أذن في أذن الحسن بن علي حين ولدته فاطمة…. )  

الترمذي ج4/ص97 وقال هذا حديث حسن صحيح 

 

Abi Raafi’ berkata : Aku melihat Rasulullah s.a.w mengazankan di teling Hassan Bin Ali ketika Fatimah melahirkannya. (Riwayat Tarmidzi, hadis Hassan Sohih)

 

3)      Disunatkan melakukan tahnik

 

عن أبي موسى قال ولد لي غلام فأتيت به النبي فسماه إبراهيم فحنكه بتمرة ودعا له بالبركة

 صحيح البخاري ج5/ص2081

Dari Abu Musa r.a dia berkata : Dilahirkan untukku seorang budak lalu aku bawakannya kepada nabi s.a.w. Lalu Rasulullah s.a.w menamakannya Ibrahim dan beliau mentahnikkannya dengan kurma dan doakan keberkatan untuknya . (Riwayat Bukhari)

 

 

Bahagian Kedua : Pada hari ketujuh

 

1)      Mencukur rambut

 

قول صلى الله عليه وسلم لفاطمة لما ولدت الحسن ( احلقي رأسه وتصدقي بوزن شعره فضة على المساكين

رواه احمد والطبراني في الكبير والبيهقي في سننه واسناده حسن 

  

Rasulullah s.a.w berkata kepada Fatimah ketika melahirkan Hassan :”cukurlah rambutnya dan sedekahkan timbangan rambut itu dengan nilai perak kepada orang-orang misikin”.

(Riwayat Imam Ahmad, Tabarani dan Baihaqi)

 

 

 

2)      Memberikan nama yang baik

 

عن عائشة قالت : عق رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الحسن والحسين يوم السابع وسماهما . رواه ابن حبان ( 12 / 127 ) والحاكم ( 4 / 264 ) . وصححه الحافظ ابن حجر في ” فتح الباري ” ( 9 / 589 )

 

Aisrah r.a berkata : Rasulullah s.a.w mengakikahkan untuk Hassan dan Hussein pada hari ketujuh dan menamakan mereka berdua pada hari tersebut.

(Riwayat Ibn Hibban dan Hakim)

 

 

 

3)      Khitan (bersunat)

 

 

عن أبي هريرة ” خمس من الفطرة الختان والاستحداد ونتف الإبط وتقليم الأظفار وقص الشارب ” . رواه البخاري ( 5550 ) ومسلم ( 257 ) .

Dari Abu Huraurah : rasulullah s.a.w bersabda : Lima perkara yang termasuk fitrah, berkhitan, mencukur rambut kemaluan, mencabut bulu ketiak, memotong kuku dan mengunting misai.

(Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

  

Bahagian Ketiga : Aqiqah dan hukumnya

 

Takrif Aqiqah : Haiwan yang disembelih untuk menebus bayi yang dilahirkan.

 

Hukumnya : Sunnah Muakkadah. Bagi bayi lelaki dengan dua ekor kambing dan bagi bayi perempuan  seekor kambing.

 

            Dalilnya :

           

عن سمرة بن جندب رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ” كل غلام مرتهن بعقيقته ، تذبح عنه يوم سابعه ، ويسمى فيه ، ويحلق رأسه ”  .

 رواه الترمذي ( 1522 ) والنسائي ( 4220 ) وأبو داود ( 2838 ) . والحديث : صححه الشيخ الألباني  رحمه الله في ” الإرواء ” ( 4 / 385 ) .

 

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda : Setiap anak yang baru lahir, ia tergadai sehingga disembelihkan aqiqah untuknya pada hari yang ketujuh dan dinamakannya dan dicukur rambutnya. ( Riwayat Tarmidzi, Nasa’i dam Abu Daud)

 

Pembahagian daging Aqiqah :

Dibolehkan untuk memakan dari daging aqiqah atau memberikannya untuk kerabat, kawan atau orang miskin. Dibolehkan juga untuk memasaknya atau memberikannya secara mentah. Sepertimana kata Ataa’ Bin Abi Rabaah ,

 

عطاء بن أبي رباح يقول في العقيقة : ” يقطع آرابا آرابا ، و يطبخ بماء وملح ، و يهدى في الجيران “. رواه البيهقي في السنن .

Ataa’ Bin Abi Rabaah berkata mengenai Aqiqah : Dipotong-potong daging itu, dan dimasak dengan air dan garam, dan diberikan kepada jiran tetangga.

(Riwayat Baihaqi didalam al-Sunan )

 

 

عن عائشة قالت عن لحم العقيقة : ” يُجْعَلُ جُدُولا , يُؤْكَلُ وَيُطْعَمُ “

 رواه ابن أبي شيبة في المصنف / 5 .

 

Aisyah radiallahu anha berkata menggenai daging Aqiqah : Dipotong-potong daging    tersebut, dan dimakannya dan berikan kepada orang lain.

 (Riwayat Ibn Abi Syaibah didalam al-Musannaf)

 

Bahagian Keempat : Kewajipan Ibubapa terhadap anak.

 

1)      Wajib mendidiknya dengan Aqidah Islam. Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda :

 

كل مولود يولد على الفطرة فأبواه يهودانه أو ينصرانه أو يمجسانه

Setiap bayi dilahirkan dalam keadaan fitrah, maka orang tuanyalah yang menjadikannya yahudi, nasrani dan majusi”

(H.R.Bukhari & Muslim)

 

 

2)      Mengajarnya mula beribadah apabila berumur 7 tahun.

 

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : علموا الصبي الصلاة ابن سبع سنين واضربوه عليها ابن عشر . رواه الترمذي وأبو داود

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda : Ajarilah anakmu mengerjakan solat ketika mereka berumur tujuh tahun dan pukullah dia ketika meninggalkannya apabila dia telah berumur sepuluh tahun. (Riwayat Tarmidzi dan Abu Daud)

 

 

3)      Ajari anak tersebut adab dan akhlak yang mulia.

 

 

4)      Memberikan pujian kepada anak tersebut apabila anak tersebut layak dipuji.

 

 

5)      Berikan mereka tanggungjawab yang sesuai dengan kemampuan dan umur mereka.

 

6)      Melindunginya daripada perkara-perkara yang menakutkannya dan membahayakannya.

 

7)      Jauhkannya daripada memiliki sifat malas dan terlalu banyak berehat, kerana perkara-perkara ini hanya akan merugikannya. Sepertimana kata Yahya Ibn Abi Kathir :

لا ينال العلم براحة الجسم

                 Ilmu tidak boleh dimiliki dengan merehatkan badan.

 

Bahagian Kelima : Soal Jawab

 

1) Tembuni atau uri bayi. Apa perlu dibuat?

Menurut amalan orang dulu, tembuni anak yang keluar sesudah kelahiran anak tersebut akan diambil dan dibersihkan. Tembuni itu kemudian akan dimasukkan ke dalam bekas dan ditanam. Amalan ini dilakukan dengan alasan bahawa tembuni itu adalah kembar anak tersebut atau merupakan sebahagian dari anggota anak yang baru lahir itu.

Ibubapa memang berhak mengambil tembuni itu dan menanamnya, tetapi dakwaan seperti di atas adalah bertentangan dengan Islam dan kepercayaan yang khurafat. Jika ibu-bapa tidak mengambil tembuni tersebut dan menyerahkannya kepada pihak hospital, perbuatan tersebut juga tidak menyalahi ajaran Islam.

 

2) Adat melenggang perut dan pemeriksaan scanning

Bila ibu mengandungkan anak sulungnya, dan masa hamilnya sudah mencapai tujuh bulan, bidan dipanggil untuk menjalankan adat berlenggang perut. Direntangkan kain sepanjang tujuh helai, disusun berlapis-lapis dan ibu yang hamil itu disuruh baring berlentang. Tengah-tengah kain itu terletak bahagian pinggang. Hujung kain berada di sebelah kiri dan kanannya. Bidan kemudian menarik helai demi helai kain panjang itu, arah ke kanan pada helai yang pertama dan ke kiri pada helai yang berikutnya, begitulah seterusnya berselang-seli.

 

Menurut adat Banjar, diambil tiga biji kelapa dan kelapa itu dibelah dua. Kepercayaan anak itu tidak selamat kalau tidak menjalankan adat itu merupakan khurafat. Begitu juga, kepercayaan anak itu selamat kalau belahan kelapa itu elok, juga merupakan khurafat. Adat melenggang perut yang diamalkan sebenarnya bertujuan memastikan kedudukan bayi dalam kandungan adalah betul. Cuma yang menjadikan amalan ini bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam ialah apabila kepercayaan khurafat dikaitkan dengan keselamatan bayi dalam kandungan. Walaupun adat melenggang perut ini tidak diamalkan lagi, pemeriksaan scanning yang dilakukan terhadap ibu yang mengandung juga mempunyai tujuan yang sama dengan adat melenggang perut. Selain dari memastikan kedudukan bayi dalam kandungan, scanning juga dikatakan dapat membantu mengenalpasti jantina bayi itu. Islam tidak melarang pemeriksaan scanning khusus berkenaan kedudukan bayi dalam kandungan. Bahkan pemeriksaan ini dapat membantu memudahkan si ibu apabila tiba waktu melahirkan. Bayi yang tidak betul kedudukannya dalam perut atau diistilahkan ’songsang’ boleh membahayakan kedua-dua ibu dan bayi tersebut.

 

Scanning untuk melihat jantina bayi itu juga tidak menyalahi agama kerana ia hanya ramalan semata-mata. Mempercayai hasil pemeriksaan ini tidak bermakna seseorang itu mengengkari kuasa dan ilmu Allah swt. Bahkan realitinya banyak laporan menunjukkan bahawan ramalan awal hasil pemerik-saan scanning adalah sebaliknya.

 

  3) Keguguran janin. Apa yang perlu dilakukan?

Kandungan yang belum sempurna atau keguguran ketika hamil memang ada berlaku. Keguguran itu kadang-kadang berlaku ketika kandungan itu berusia sebulan atau tiga bulan atau lima atau tujuh bulan. Janin yang gugur pula itu kadang-kadang telah sempurna tubuh anggotanya dan ada pula yang separuh sempurna.

Dalam keadaan begini, Islam telah memberi panduan cara mengurus dan menyempurnakan janin tersebut. Jika janin yang gugur itu terdapat padanya tanda-tanda bernyawa seperti bergerak ia dan bersuara ia, maka keguguran itu hendaklah disempurnakan seperti lazimnya menyempurnakan mayat orang dewasa. Bererti keguguran itu mesti dimandikan, dikafankan, disembahyangkan dan dikebumikan. Jika tidak terdapat tanda bernyawa tetapi mempunyai bentuk manusia seperti kelihatan telinganya atau jari-jarinya atau apa jua anggota badannya, maka keguguran itu hanya dimandikan, dikafankan dan dikebumikan tanpa perlu disembahyangkan.

Jika tidak terdapat langsung apa-apa tanda sama ada bernyawa atau bentuknya, maka keguguran itu tidak wajib disempurnakan seperti lazimnya. Tetapi adalah digalakkan dan sunat hukumnya keguguran itu dibungkus dan kemudiannya ditanam sahaja.

 

 

 

Bahagian Keenam : Doa-doa dari al-Quran

  1)

                        قَالَ رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ

 

Ya tuhanku, berilah aku dari sisi engkau seorang anak yang baik. Sesungguhnya engkau maha pendengar doa. ( Ali Imran ayat 38)

 

  2)

 

            رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ آمِنًا وَاجْنُبْنِي وَبَنِيَّ أَنْ نَعْبُدَ الأصْنَامَ

 

Ya tuhanku, jadikanlah negeri ini negeri yang aman, dan jauhkanlah aku berserta anak cucuku daripada menyembah berhala. (Ibrahim ayat 35)

 

 

 

           

3)

            رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلاةِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ

 

Ya tuhanku, jadikanlah aku dan anak cucuku orang-orang yang tetap mendirikan solat, ya tuhan kami, perkenankanlah doaku. (Ibrahim ayat 40)

 

 4)

            رَبِّ لا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ

 

Ya tuhanku, janganlah engkau membiarkan aku hidup seorang diri dan engkaulah waris yang paling baik. (Al-Anbiyaa’ ayat 89)

 

 

 5)

            رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

 

Ya tuhanku, anugerahkanlah kepadaku (seorang anak) yang termasuk orang-orang yang saleh. (Ash Shaaffaat ayat 100

 

 6)

            رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

 

Ya tuhanku, tunjukkilah aku untuk mensyukuri nikmat engkau yang telah engkau berikan kepadaku dan kepada ibu bapaku dan supaya aku dapat berbuat amal saleh yang engkau ridhai. Berilah kebaikan kepadaku dengan (memberi kebaikan) kepada anak cucuku. Sesungguhnya aku bertaubat kepada engkau dan sesungguhnya aku termasuk orang-orang yang berserah diri. ( Al-Ahqaaf ayat 15)

 

 

 7)

            رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

 

Ya tuhan kami, anugerahkanlah kepada kami isteri-isteri kami dari keturunan kami sebagai penyenag hati (kami) dan jadikanlah kami imam bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa. ( Al-Furqaan ayat 74)

Sinopsis Seminar Tafsir

Setiap individu Muslim harus mengetahui pendekatan penafsiran yang digunakan oleh Ahli Sunnah wal-Jamaah selain pendekatan penafsiran yang digunakan oleh golongan Orientalis dan aliran Islam liberal. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk mengembalikan kesedaran dan menghilangkan kesalahtafsiran al-Quran di kalangan masyarakat.

 

Dr Adnin Armas memberi amaran akan tren yang membimbangkan ini dengan mengatakan: “Golongan ini secara berleluasa mentafsir al-Quran berasaskan ilmu aqli (akal) semata-mata dan berusaha mempengaruhi minda umat Islam yang tidak memiliki teras keagamaan yang mantap.”

 

Semua ini menjadi tanda yang amat jelas bahawa ideologi penafsiran yang salah telah menular di kalangan masyarakat Islam dan mencapai tahap yang membimbangkan. Oleh itu, ini menjadi tanggungjawab umat Islam untuk memastikan diri mereka lengkap dengan kefahaman yang benar agar ia dapat menangkis propaganda dan anasir Orientalis yang terpesong. Selain dari itu, program ini bertujuan memperkasa ilmu peserta. Dr Yusuf al-Qardhawi mengatakan: “Di antara masalah paling penting yang sering saya peringatkan adalah berkenaan usaha musuh-musuh pemikiran Islam yang menciptakan keraguan terhadap ajaran-ajaran Islam yang sudah diakui kebenarannya tanpa keraguan (musallamat) dan berusaha mengubah perkara-perkara yang diyakini (yaqiniat) kebenarannya menjadi perkara-perkara yang tidak pasti dan hipotetif (zhanniaat), hal-hal yang pasti dan kuat (qath’iat) menjadi tidak pasti dan mengandung pelbagai kemungkinan (muhtamalaat) yang dapat diambil atau ditolak, ditarik atau dilepaskan dan mengikuti pendapat dari kanan dan kiri.”

 

Dengan adanya program ini, masyarakat akan lebih jelas lagi memahami fenomena ini.

Yang Kekal Di Dalam Neraka (Bahagian 1)

Didalam hadis Bukhari, menerusi Anas r.a bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda mengenai pada hari akhirat dimana orang-orang yang beriman akan mencari Rasulullah s.a.w untuk meminta syafaat, Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda :

 

فَيَأْتُونِي فَأَنْطَلِقُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ عَلَى رَبِّي فَيُؤْذَنَ لِي فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ رَبِّي وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتَحْمِيدٍ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَأُدْخِلُهُمْ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ رَبِّي مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَأُدْخِلُهُمْ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَأَقُولُ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ الْقُرْآنُ وَوَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْخُلُودُ

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ الْقُرْآنُ يَعْنِي قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

{ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا }

Mereka akan datang kepadaku lalu aku pon pergi sehingga aku meminta izin daripada tuhanku dan aku diberikan izin. Ketika kau melihat tuhanku, aku bersujud dan Allah s.w.t membiarkan aku didalam keadaan begitu selama yang Allah inginkan. Kemudian aku dipanggil . ‘ (Muhammad) angkatlah kepalamu, dan mintalah dan permintaan mu akan diperkenankan. Katakanlah, dan kata-kata mu akan didengar, Mintalah syafaat dan kamu akan diberikan izin untuk memberikan syafaat. Aku lalu mengangkat kepalaku dan memuji Allah s.w.t dengan pujian yang diajarkan kepadaku. Kemudian Allah s.w.t memberikan kepada ku sejumlah bilangan yang dapat dimasukkan kedalam syurga. Kemudian aku kembali kepada kepada Allah s.w.t  dan ketika kau melihat Allah s.w.t perkara yang sama berlaku kepada ku, dan aku dpat memberikan syafaat dan Allah s.w.t memberikan kepadaku sejumlah bilangan yang dapat dimasukkan ke dalam syurga.Kemudian aku ulangi perkara ini untuk ketiga kali dan kemudian aku ulangi hingga ke empat kali. Lalu aku berkata : “ Tidak ada yang tinggal di neraka melainkan siapa yang telah dipenjarakan oleh al-Quran dan diwajibkan ke atasnya kekal selama-lamanya. Abu Abdullah berkata : “ Melainkan mereka yang dipenjarakan oleh al-Quran maksudnya ialah firman Allah s,w,t didalm al-Quran “ Yang kekal didalam neraka”.

 

Telah menjadi tanggungjawab bagi setiap mukmin memahami al-Quran dan mengamalkannya bukan sekadar membacanya. Allah s.w.t menerangkan kepentingan al-Quran untuk difahami supaya menjadi penyelamat bagi orang-orang yang beriman di akhirat kelak. Allah s.w.t berfirman :

 

وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ تِبْيَانًا لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ

 

 Dan kami turunkan kpdmu al-Kitab untuk menjelaskan segala sesuatu dan petunjuk serta rahmat dan kabar gembira bagi org2 yg berserah diri…An Nahl

 

 

Rasululah s.a.w juga bersabda mengenai perbezaan antara mukmin dan munafik yang membaca al-Quran,  sepertimana hadis didalam kitab Sohih Bukhari.

 

 

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ التَّمْرَةِ لَا رِيحَ لَهَا وَطَعْمُهَا حُلْوٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ كَمَثَلِ الْحَنْظَلَةِ لَيْسَ لَهَا رِيحٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ

 

Dari Abu Musa al-Asyari berlai berkata : Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda :

Perumpamaan orang mukmin yg membaca al-Quran ialah seperti perumpamaan buah utrujah (limau) iaitu buah yg harum dan rasanya enak. Manakala perumpamaan org mukmin yg tidak membaca al-Quran ialah seperti buah kurma, tidak ada baunya akan tetapi rasanya manis. Adapun perumpamaan orang munafik yg membaca al-Quran ialah seperti buah raihanah iaitu buah yg berbau harum tetapi rasanya pahit. Sedangkan perumpamaan org munafik yg tidak membaca al-Quran ialah sepertu buah hanzalah(peria) iaitu buah yg tidak ada bau sama sekali dan ditambah pula oleh rasanya yg pahit.

 

Dari itu tidak ada yang lebih penting selain menyelamatkan diri kita daripada api neraka dan kemurkaan Allah s.w.t. Petunjuk yang diberikan oleh Allah s.w.t daripada hadis-hadis Rasulullah s.a.w merupakan cahaya yang dapat menunjukkan kita jalan mendapatkan keredhaan Allah s.w.t dan menjauhkan kita daripada azab neraka.

 

Berikut adalah beberapa ayat didalam al-Quran yang menyebutkan tentang golongan-golongan yang kekal didalam neraka sebagaimana yanag dikatakan Rasulullah s.a.w tidak ada syafaat yang dapat menolong mereka.

 

 

 

1) An Nisaa 4:14

 

وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَلَهُ عَذَابٌ مُهِينٌ

Allah pelindung orang-orang yang beriman, dia mengeluarkan mereka dari kegelapan (kekafiran) kepada cahaya (iman).

8) al-Baqorah 2:275

 

الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لا يَقُومُونَ إِلا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا فَمَنْ جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ فَانْتَهَى فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

 

Orang-orang yang makan (mengambil) riba tidak dapat berdiri melainkan seperti berdirinya orang yang kemasukkan syaitan lantaran (terkena) penyakit gila. Keadaan mereka yang demikian itu, adalah disebabkan mereka berkata (berpendapat), sesungguhnya jual beli itu sama dengan riba, padahal Allah telah menghalalkaa jual beli dan mengharamkan riba. Orangorang yang telah sampai kepadanya larangan dari tuhannya, lalu terus berhenti (dari mengambil riba), maka baginya apa yang telah diambilnya dahulu (sebelum datang larangan) dan urusannya (terserah) kepada Allah. Orang yang mengulangi (mengambil riba), maka orang itu adalah penghuni-penghuni neraka, mereka kekal didalamnya.

Abu Zarkashi

Gembira apabila bermaksiat (Tazkirah 5)

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْغَزْوِ تَخَلَّفُوا عَنْهُ وَفَرِحُوا بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَافَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اعْتَذَرُوا إِلَيْهِ وَحَلَفُوا وَأَحَبُّوا أَنْ يُحْمَدُوا بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَنَزَلَتْ

)لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَا أَتَوْا وَيُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُحْمَدُوا بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَلا تَحْسَبَنَّهُمْ بِمَفَازَةٍ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ( (188)

الْآيَةَ

Daripada Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri : Sebahagian lelaki daripada golongan munafik pada zaman Rasulullah s.a.w tidak akan ikut serta bersama Rasulullah s.a.w ketika Rasulullah s.a.w pergi berperang. Mereka gembira apabila berada di belakang Rasulullah s.a.w (tidak ikut serta). Apabila Rasulullah s.a.w pulang (dari berperang) mereka memberikan alasan dan bersumpah, dan mereka suka apabila dipuji diatas perkara yang mereka tidak lakukan. Lalu turunlah ayat Quran :

 

Jgnlah sekali-kali kamu menyangkan bahwa orang-orang yg gembira dgn apa yg telah mereka kejrakan dan mereka suka supaya dipuji terhadap perbuatan yg belum mereka kerjakan jgnlah kamu menyangka bahwa mereka terlepas dari siksa dan bagi mereka siksa yg pedih. (al-Imran 188)

(Riwayat Bukhari)

 

Pengajaran dari hadis ini :

 

1)      Antara sifat munafik ialah :

·        Bergembira apabila meninggalkan perintah Allah dan Rasul.

·        Mengharapakan dan suka apabila dipuji meninggalkan perintah Allah dan Rasul.

 

2)      Allah s.w.t menjanjikan azab yang pedih bagi sesiapa yang bergembira apabila melakukan maksiat dan bergembira apabila dipuji manusia diatas maksiat yang dilakukannya.

 

 

 

 

Ways to Boost Memory

 

 

10 Ways To Boost Your Memory & Ways From Islamic Scholars

 

Everyone forgets things from time to time. But for some people, poor memory can be a perennial problem. The brain never actually loses a memory. It records each one like a computer.

 

However, problems with recall begin when we don’t practise retrieving this information and so the memories we had become lost. The brain, like other parts of the body, needs physical and mental exercise, together with particular nutrients, to increase the power of memory. Here are 10 things to remember to do in order never to forget anything plus ways to strengthn one’s memory from Islamic scholars…

 

1 – Eat Soya

According to Professor Sandra File, head of the psychopharmacology research unit at Guy’s Hospital in London, isoflavones, the natural plant oestrogens in soya foods, might act on oestrogen receptors in the human brain, particularly those in the hippocampus, a crucial area for memory.

 

As a result, new nerve connections form more readily. Medical trials revealed that those fed a high soya diet showed improvements in verbal and non-verbal memory and in mental flexibility, all of which are controlled by the brain’s frontal lobes. Soya can be added to the diet through natural products such as soya milk or through a recommended daily 50mg soy isoflavone supplement.

 

2 – Take memory Minerals

Studies at Kings College, London, and the University of Rochester in New York showed that a reduced iron intake can have a detrimental effect on IQ levels and cognitive function.

 

This is because of lack of iron causes low haemoglobin levels, which affect the supply of oxygen to the brain. Iron also plays an important role in the transmission of signals in the brain. A deficiency of zinc, found in oysters, red meat and peanuts, can also interfere with memory. Take a supplement of 7 to 9mg daily.

 

3 – Drink Coffee

Caffeine can improve mental and memory performance because it stimulates many regions of the brain that regulate wakefulness, arousal, mood and concentration.

Researchers at the University of Arizona found that older adults who drank half a pint of coffee just before a memory test saw a large improvement in performance compared to those who drank decaffeinated coffee. However, the benefits might be confined to regular coffee drinkers. Others could suffer side effects such as shakiness, anxiety or impaired concentration.

 

It’s still best to drink no more than six cups of coffee a day – those with heart problems should drink less. Too much brewed or percolated coffee can raise blood cholesterol – instant or filter coffee are better choices.

 

4 – Mental Exercise

Research has shown that mental stimulation keeps the brain healthy and increases the strength of memory.

As we age, it is normal to have changes in memory, but keeping the mind active does diminish weaknesses. Clinical psychologist Ron Bracey suggests using techniques such as puzzles, crosswords and widening cultural and social interests, all of which create different pathways in the brain.

 

5 – Physical Exercise

Half-an-hour of activity three times a week is enough to bring about significant increase in brain power; says a study at the Duke University Medical Centre in North Carolina.

 

Exercise improves the heart’s ability to pump blood more effectively. Memory benefits from improved blood flow to specific regions at the front of the brain whose functions include planning, organization and the ability to juggle different intellectual tasks.

 

6 – Chew Gum

Japanese researchers found that activity in the hippocampus, an area of the brain important for memory, increases while people chew. Recent research suggests that insulin receptors in the brain may be involved too, as chewing releases insulin because the body is expecting food.

 

But, says Dr Andre Scholey of the University of Northumbria, the simplest reason could be that chewing increases the heart rate, thus improving the delivery of oxygen to the brain and enhancing its cognitive powers.

 

7 – Take Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo is the world’s oldest living tree. It has been used for memory enhancement in Eastern cultures for thousands of years.

Dr George Lewith, complementary health consultant to Boots, says Ginkgo improves blood circulation to the brain by dilating blood vessels and increasing its oxygen supply.

Ginkgo also mops up harmful compounds known as free radicals, which are thought to damage brain cells. Advised supplement dose is 120mg a day.

 

9 – Eat oily fish

Omega 3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, are essential components of brain cell membranes, and their role in cell structure is thought to improve the powers of memory. High concentrations of Omega 3 in the brain and nervous system not only boost learning powers and age-related memory, but also greatly enhance mood.

 

Omega 3 is a particularly important during foetal development, so pregnant women should have a regular supply. Good sources include fish such as sardines, salmon, herring and mackerel. Sardines are also a rich source of the nutrient choline, which is a key brain chemical associated with memory. Try to eat three portions of oily fish a week or take a supplement of 330mg three times a week.

 

9 – Rosemary and sage

Essential oil made from rosemary and sage can stimulate the memory, strengthen clarity and awareness and help to relieve mental fatigue. Psychologists at the University of Northumbria tested essential oils from rosemary on memory attention and mood and discovered it made volunteers feel more alter and enhanced their long-term memory by around 15%. Some studies have found that volunteers’ ability to remember lists of words improved by more than 10% if they had taken a capsule of sage oil.

 

10 – Take vitamin B

B vitamins deliver oxygen to the brain and provide protection against free radicals. They help to sharpen senses and boost memory. Niacin or B3 is particularly good for brain enhancement, while B6 is essential for the manufacture of neurotransmitters, especially mood-enhancing serotonin.

B12 is important for overall health of brain cells. B vitamins are also needed to help the body form acetylcholine, a key brain chemical needed for memory – Daily Mail

 

 

Ways from Islamic scholars :

 

 

1)      The following words were attributed to al-Shaafa’i, may Allaah have mercy on him:“I complained to [my shaykh] Wakee’ about my bad memory, and he taught me that I should keep away from sin. He said that knowledge of Allaah is light, and the light of Allaah is not given to  the sinner.”

 

Al-Khateeb reported in al-Jaami’ (2/387) that Yahya ibn Yahya said: “A man asked Maalik ibn Anas, ‘O Abu ‘Abd-Allaah! Is there anything that will improve my memory?’ He said, ‘If anything will improve it, it is giving up sin.’”

 

2)      Imaam al-Zuhri said: “You should eat honey because it is good for the memory.”

 

3)      He also said: “Whoever wants to memorize hadeeth should eat raisins.” (From al-Jaami’ by al-Khateeb, 2/394).

 

4)      Ibraaheem ibn [sth. omitted] said, “You should chew resin gum, because it gives energy to the heart and gets rid of forgetfulness.” (From al-Jaami’ by al-Khateeb, 2/397).

April Fool

April Fool

Praise be to Allaah, we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allaah from the evil of our own selves and from our evil deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides, none can lead astray, and whomsoever He sends astray, none can guide. 

Lying is an evil characteristic, which all religions and systems of ethics warn against and which man’s innate common sense (fitrah) agrees that it is wrong. Those who possess chivalry and sound reason also say this. 

Truthfulness is one of the pillars on which the moral survival of the world depends. It is the foundation of praiseworthy characteristics, the cornerstone of Prophethood, the result of taqwaa. Were it not for truthfulness, the rulings of all divinely-revealed laws would collapse. Acquiring the characteristic of lying is akin to shedding one’s humanity, because speaking is an exclusively human trait. 

(Bareeqah Mahmoodiyyah, Muhammad al-Khaadimi, 3/183) 

Our purely monotheistic sharee’ah warns against lying in the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and there is consensus that it is haraam. The liar will have bad consequences in this world and in the next. 

According to sharee’ah, lying is not permitted except in specific cases which do not lead to loss of rights, bloodshed or slander of people’s honour, etc., but which concern saving lives, reconciling between people, or creating love between husband and wife. 

There is a never a day or a moment when sharee’ah permits a person to tell lies or to say whatever he wants based on lies. One of the things that have become widespread among the common people is the so called “April Fool’s Day”, where they claim that the first day of the fourth solar month is a day when lying is permitted without being subject to any shar’i guidelines. 

Many bad things may result from this, some of which we will mention below. 

The prohibition of lying. 

1.                 Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“It is only those who believe not in the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allaah, who fabricate falsehood, and it is they who are liars

[al-Nahl 16:105] 

Ibn Katheer said: 

“Then Allaah tells us that His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is not a fabricator or a liar, because only the most evil of people who do not believe in the signs of Allaah, the kaafirs and heretics who are known amongst the people for telling lies, tell lies about Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the most truthful of people, the most righteous, the most perfect in knowledge, action, faith and certain belief. He was known amongst his people for his truthfulness; none of them doubted that, to such an extent that he was known amongst them as ‘al-Ameen (the trustworthy) Muhammad.’ Hence when Heraclius, the ruler of Rome, asked Abu Sufyaan about the characteristics of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), one of the things he asked was, ‘Did you ever accuse him of lying before he said what he said?’ He said, ‘No.’ Heraclius said: ‘If he refrained from telling lies about people he would not go and tell lies about Allaah.’ 

(Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/588) 

2.                 It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The signs of the hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted with something, he betrays that trust.” 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 33; Muslim, 59) 

al-Nawawi said: 

“What the commentators and most of the scholars said – which is correct – is that this means that these characteristics are the characteristics of hypocrisy, and the one who has these characteristics resembles the hypocrites in this sense. 

The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), ‘he is a pure hypocrite’ mean that he strongly resembles the hypocrites because of these characteristics. Some of the scholars said:  this is concerning one in whom  these characteristics predominate; one in whom these characteristics rarely appear is not included in this. This is the favoured view concerning the meaning of this hadeeth. Imaam Abu ‘Eesa al-Tirmidhi (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated this meaning from the scholars and said: ‘The meaning of this according to the scholars is hypocrisy in one’s actions.’” 

(Sharh Muslim, 2/46-47) 

The most evil kinds of lies are: 

1.                 Lies told about Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

This is the most serious kind of lie, and the one who does this is subject to a severe warning. Some of the scholars said that the one who does this is to be denounced as a kaafir. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Say: ‘Verily, those who invent a lie against Allaah will never be successful’”

[Yoonus 10:69] 

It was narrated that ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him): “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Do not tell lies about me. Whoever tells lies about me, let him enter the Fire.’” 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 106). 

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever tells lies about me, let him take his place in Hell.”

(narrated by al-Bukhaari, 110; Muslim, 3). 

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

“… ‘Whoever tells lies about me, let him take his place in Hell’, i.e., let him take his place in Hell where he will abide and settle; it is not like a manzil or camp where he stays for a while and then moves on.” 

(Tareeq al-Hijratayn, p. 169) 

Lying also includes lies told about or to other people, such as 

2.                 Lying in buying and selling.

It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are three to whom Allaah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection and He will not look at them or praise them, and they will have a painful torment.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) repeated this three times. Abu Dharr said: “May they be doomed and lost, who are they, O Messenger of Allaah?” He said, “The one who lets his garment hang below his ankles, the one who reminds others of his favours, and the one who disposes of his goods by swearing a false oath.” 

(Narrated by Muslim, 106) 

It was narrated that Hakeem ibn Hizaam (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The two parties involved in a transaction have the option [of cancelling it] until they part. If they are honest and truthful, their transaction will be blessed for them and if they conceal something and tell lies, the blessing of their transaction will be wiped out.’” 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1973; Muslim, 532) 

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: 

“Allaah has enjoined truthfulness and honesty, and He has forbidden lies and concealment with regard to matters which should be known and revealed to people, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said in a hadeeth whose authenticity is agreed upon: ‘The two parties involved in a transaction have the option [of cancelling it] until they part. If they are honest and truthful, their transaction will be blessed for them and if they conceal something and tell lies, the blessing of their transaction will be wiped out.’ And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

‘O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allaah as just witnesses; and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety’

[al-Maa’idah 5:8].” 

(Minhaaj al-Sunnah, 1/16) 

3.                 The prohibition on lying about visions and dreams 

This refers to when some of them claim to have seen such and such in a dream, but they are not telling the truth, then in the morning he starts to tell the people something that he did not see. 

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever tells of a dream that he did not see will be commanded [on the Day of Resurrection] to tie two grains of barley together, but he will never be able to do it. Whoever eavesdrops on people’s conversation when they dislike that – or they try to get away from him  - will have molten copper poured in his ears in the Day of Resurrection. And whoever makes an image will be punished and will be told to breathe life into it, and he will not be able to do so.” 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6635) 

Al-Manaawi said: 

“ ‘to tie two grains of barley together, but he will never be able to do it’ – because tying one to the other is not possible ordinarily. He will be punished until he does that, and he will never be able to do it. It is as if he is saying that he will be enjoined to do something that he can never do, and is being punished for it. This is a metaphor for continuous punishment… The reason why barley (sha’eer)  is mentioned specifically is because dreams are connected to feelings (shu’oor); the words sha’eer (barley) and shu’oor (feelings) come from the same root in Arabic. 

The punishment for that is so severe – even though lies when awake may cause more damage, because they may involve testimony that may lead to execution or a hadd punishment – because lying about a dream is a lie about Allaah, may He be exalted, for dreams are a part of Prophethood, so they come from Him, and lying about the Creator is worse than lying about created beings. 

(Fayd al-Qadeer, 6/99) 

4.                 The prohibition of speaking about everything that one hears 

It was narrated that Hafs ibn ‘Aasim said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘It is sufficient lying for a man to speak of everything that he hears.’” 

(Narrated by Muslim, 5) 

With regard to the meanings of the hadeeth and reports on this topic, they discourage speaking about everything that one hears. For usually a person will hear both true things and lies, so if he were to speak of everything that he hears, he would be lying, by telling of something that did not happen. We have stated above the view of the people of truth: that lying means telling of something in a manner other than the way it happened. It is not conditional upon it being done deliberately, but its being done deliberately is a condition of it being a sin. And Allaah knows best.” 

(Sharh Muslim, 1/75) 

5.                 Lying in jest 

Some people think that it is permissible to tell lies if it is in jest. This is the excuse that they use for telling lies on April 1^st or on other days. This is wrong. There is no basis for this in the pure sharee’ah. Lying is haraam whether the one who does it is joking or is serious. 

Lying in jest is haraam just like other kinds of lies. 

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘I joke, but I speak nothing but the truth.’” 

(narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu’jam al-Kabeer, 12/391) 

This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Haythami in Majma’ al-Zawaa’id, 8/89, and classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in Saheeh al-Jaami, 2494) 

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: “They said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, you joke with us.’ He said, ‘But I only speak the truth.’” 

(narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1990) 

Abu ‘Eesa said: this is a saheeh hasan hadeeth. 

A similar hadeeth was narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat (8/305) and classed as hasan by al-Haythami in Majma’ al-Zawaa’id, 9/17 

‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Abi Laylaa said: the companions of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that they were travelling with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). A man among them fell asleep and some of them went and took his arrows. When the man woke up, he got alarmed (because his arrows were missing) and the people laughed. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “What are you laughing at?” They said, “Nothing, except that we took the arrows and he got alarmed.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is not permissible for a Muslim to frighten another Muslim.” 

(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 5004; Ahmad, 22555 – this version narrated by Ahmad). 

This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 7658) 

It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-Saa’ib ibn Yazeed from his father from his grandfather that he heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “None of you should take the belongings of his brother, whether in jest or otherwise. Whoever has taken the stick of his brother, let him return it.” 

(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 5003; al-Tirmidhi, 2160 in brief) 

The hadeeth was classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 7578 

6.                 Lying when playing with children 

We must beware of lying when playing with children, because that will be written down (in the record of deeds of) the one who that. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned against doing that. It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Aamir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “My mother called me one day when the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sitting in our house. She said, ‘Come here, and I will give you (something).’ The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘What do you want to give him?’ She said, ‘I will give him a date.’ The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘If you had not given him something, you would have been lying.’” 

And it was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever says to a child, ‘Come here and take this,’ then does not give him something, this is counted as a lie.’” 

(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4991) 

This hadeeth was classed as hasan by Shaykh al-‘Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1319. 

7.                 Lying to make people laugh 

It was narrated that Mu’aawiyah ibn Haydah said: “I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘Woe to the one who talks to make the people laugh and tells lies, woe to him, woe to him.’” 

(narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 235. He said: this is a hasan hadeeth. Also narrated by Abu Dawood, 4990). 

The punishment for lying: 

The liar is warned of destructive punishment in this world, and humiliating punishment in the Hereafter. These include: 

1.                 Hypocrisy in the heart. 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“So He punished them by putting hypocrisy into their hearts till the Day whereon they shall meet Him, because they broke that (covenant with Allaah) which they had promised to Him and because they used to tell lies

[al-Tawbah 9:77] 

‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: “You may know the hypocrite by three things: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted with something he betrays that trust.”. He said: “Recite this aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

‘And of them are some who made a covenant with Allaah (saying): “If He bestowed on us of His Bounty, we will verily, give Sadaqah (Zakaah and voluntary charity in Allaah’s Cause) and will be certainly among those who are righteous.”

Then when He gave them of His Bounty, they became niggardly [refused to pay the Sadaqah (Zakaah or voluntary charity)], and turned away, averse.

So He punished them by putting hypocrisy into their hearts till the Day whereon they shall meet Him, because they broke that (covenant with Allaah) which they had promised to Him and because they used to tell lies

[al-Tawbah 9:75-77].” 

(Musanaaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, 6/125) 

2.                 Guidance to evildoing and to the Fire 

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said:

“The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Truthfulness is righteousness, and righteousness leads to  Paradise. A person will continue to tell the truth until he is written with Allaah as one who tells the truth. Lying is evildoing, and evildoing leads to Hell. A person will keep on telling lies until he is written as a liar.’” 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5743; Muslim, 2607) 

al-San’aani said: 

This hadeeth indicates that whoever continues to speak the truth, it will become a feature of his, and whoever deliberately tells lies and persists in it, it will become a feature of his.  This is the same as any other good or evil characteristic, if a person persists in it, it becomes a feature of his. 

This hadeeth indicates how serious the matter of telling the truth is, and that it may lead a person to Paradise, and it indicates how ugly lying is and how it may lead a person to Hell. This is in addition to the consequences in this world, for the one who tells the truth will have his words accepted by people, and his testimony will be accepted by judges and he will be liked for what he says, whereas for the liar the opposite will be the case. 

Subul al-Salaam, 2/687 

3.                 His testimony will be rejected 

Ibn al-Qayyim said: 

[The reason why the testimony of the liar is rejected] 

The strongest reason why testimonies, fatwas and reports may be rejected is lying, because it corrupts the very essence of the testimony, fatwa or report. It is like the testimony of a blind man concerning sighting the new moon, or the testimony of a deaf man concerning having heard the admission of someone.   The lying tongue is like some faculty that is no longer working, indeed it is even worse than that, for the most evil thing a man may possess is a lying tongue. 

A’laam al-Muwaqqi’een, 1/95 

4.                 Blackening of the face in this world and in the Hereafter 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allaah (i.e. attributed to Him sons, partners) their faces will be black”[al-Zumar 39:60] 

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

Hence on the Day of Resurrection Allaah will make blackened faces the sign of the one who told lies about Him and His Messenger. Lying has a great effect in blackening the face and covering it with a mask of shame which every truthful person will be able to see. The feature of the liar is clearly visible in the face, and everyone who has the eyes to see can see it.  But Allaah will bless the truthful person with dignity and respect, so whoever sees him will respect him and love him, and He will give the liar humiliation and shame, so whoever sees him will loathe him and despise him. And Allaah is the Source of strength. 

A’laam al-Muwaqqi’een, 1/95 

5.                 The liar will have the flesh of his cheeks torn to the back of his head 

It was narrated that Samurah ibn Jundub (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) often used to say to his companions, ‘Has anyone among you seen a dream?’ Then whoever Allaah willed would tell of his dream. One day he said to us, ‘Two (angels) came to me last night and woke me up, then they said to me, ‘Let’s go!’… so we set out and came to a man who was lying flat on his back and another man standing over his head with an

iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man’s mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back (of the neck) and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to the other side of the man’s face and did just as he had done with the other side. Hardly had he completed this side when the first side was restored to its normal state. Then he went back and did that all over again. I said to my two companions, ‘Subhaan Allah! Who are these two persons?’ They said to me, ‘Move on, move on!’ (Then he said, describing how the two angels explained the things that he had seen): ‘As for the man you came across, the sides of whose mouth, nostrils and eyes were being torn off from front to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies that it spreads all over the world.’” 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5745) 

The comments of the Salaf on lying: 

1.                 ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood said: “A man may speak the truth and persist in doing so until there is in his heart not even room for evil the size of a needle. Or a man may tell lies and persist in doing so until  there is in his heart not even room for truth the size of a needle. 

2.                 And it was narrated that he said: “It is not correct to tell lies whether in jest or in seriousness,” then ‘Abd-Allaah recited the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Be afraid of Allaah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds)”

[al-Tawbah 9:119] 

3.                 Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq said: “Beware of lying, for it has nothing to do with faith.” 

4.                 It was narrated that Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas said: “The believer may acquire all sorts of characteristics except treachery and lying.” 

5.                 It was narrated that ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “True faith is not achieved until one gives up lying in jest.” 

(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, 5/235, 236) 

Permissible kinds of lies 

Lying is permissible in three cases: war; reconciling between two disputing parties; and a husband lying to his wife or vice versa for the sake of love and harmony. 

It was narrated from Umm Kalthoom bint ‘Uqbah that she heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “He is not a liar who reconciles between people and narrates something good or says something good.” 

(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2546; Muslim, 2605) 

It was narrated that Asmaa’ bint Yazeed said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘It is not permissible to tell lies except in three (cases): when a man speaks to his wife in a way to please her; lying in war; and lying in order to reconcile between people.’” 

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1939) 

This hadeeth was classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 7723 

April fool 

But with regard to “April Fool” (in Arabic, Kidhbat Neesaan or the lies of April), the origin of this lying is not known for sure. There are differing opinions concerning that: 

Some of them said that it developed from the celebrations of spring at the equinox on March 21. 

Some of them said that this innovation appeared in France in 1564 CE, after the introduction of a new calendar, when a person who had refused to accept the new calendar became the victim of some people who had subjected him to embarrassment and made fun of him, so he became a laughing-stock for others. 

Some of them said that this innovation goes back to ancient times and the pagan celebrations connected to a specific date at the beginning of spring, so this is the remnant of pagan rituals. It was said that hunting in some countries was unsuccessful during the first days of the hunt in some countries. This was the origin of these lies which are made up on the first day of April. 

 Le poisson d’avril 

The Europeans call “April Fool” le poisson d’avril (lit. “April fish”). The reason for this is that the sun moves from the zodiacal house of Pisces to the next house, or because the word poisson, which means fish, is a distortion of the word passion, which means suffering, “so it is a symbol of the suffering endured by Jesus (peace be upon him), according to the claims of the Christians, and they claim that this happened in the first week of April. 

Some of the kuffaar call this day All Fools’ Day, as it is known to the English.  That is because of the lies that they tell so that those who hear them might believe them and thus become a victim for those who  are making fun of him. 

The first mention of April Fool in the English language was in a magazine known as Dreck Magazine. On the second day of April in 1698 CE, this magazine mentioned that a number of people were invited to come and watch the washing of black people in the Tower of London on the morning of the first day of April. 

One of the most famous incidents that happened in Europe on April 1^st was when the English newspaper, the Evening Star, announced in March 1746 CE that the following day – April 1^st – that there would be an parade of donkeys in Islington, in England. The people rushed to see these animals and there was a huge crowd. They continued waiting  and when they got tired of waiting, they asked about when the parade would be. They not find anything, then they knew that they had come to make an exhibition of themselves, as if they were the donkeys! 

‘Aasim ibn ‘Abd-Allaah al-Qurawayti 

One of them wrote about the origin of these lies, saying: 

Many of us celebrate what is known as April fool or, if it is translated literally, the “trick of April”. But how much do we know of the bitter secret behind this day? 

When the Muslims ruled Spain, approximately one thousand years ago, they were a force that could not be destroyed. The western Christians wished that they could wipe Islam from the face of the earth, and they succeeded to some extent. 

They tried to limit the spread of Islam in Spain and to put an end to it, but they did not succeed. They tried numerous times and never succeeded. 

After that, the kuffaar sent their spies to Spain to study and find out the secret of the Muslims’ strength which could not be defeated. They discovered that adhering to taqwa (piety or consciousness of Allaah) was the reason. 

When the Christians discovered the secret of the Muslims’ strength, they started to think of strategies to break this strength. On this basis they began to send wine and cigars to Spain for free. 

This tactic on the part of the west produced results, and the faith of the Muslims began to weaken, especially among the young generation in Spain. The result of that was that the western Catholic Christians subdued the whole of Spain and put an end to the Muslim rule of that land which had lasted for more than eight hundred years. The last stronghold of the Muslims, in Grenada, fell on April 1^st, hence they considered this to be the “trick of April.” 

From that year until the present, they celebrate this day and consider the Muslims to be fools. They do not regard only the army at Granada to be fools who are easily deceived, rather they apply that to the entire Muslim ummah. It is ignorant of us to join in these celebrations, and when we imitate them blindly in implementing this evil idea, this is a kind of blind imitation which confirms the foolishness of some of us in following them. Once we know the reason for this celebration, how can we celebrate our defeat? 

After knowing this reality,let us make a promise to ourselves never to celebrate this day. We have to learn from the Spanish and adhere to the reality of Islam and never allow our faith to be weakened again. 

I say: it does not matter what the origins of April fool are. What matters more is knowing the ruling on lying on this day, which we are sure did not exist during the first and best generations of Islam. It did not come from the Muslims, but rather from their enemies. 

The things that happen on April fools’ day are many. Some people have been told that their child or spouse or someone who is dear to them has died, and unable to bear this shock, they have died. Some have been told that they are being laid off, or that there has been a fire or an accident in which their family has been killed, so they suffer paralysis or heart attacks, or similar diseases. 

Some people have been told about their wives, that they have been seen with other men, and this has led them to kill or divorce their wives. 

These are the endless stories and incidents that we hear of, all of which are lies which are forbidden in Islam and unacceptable to common sense or honest chivalry. 

We have seen how Islam forbids lying even in jest, and it forbids frightening a Muslim whether in seriousness or in jest, in words or in actions. 

This is the law of Allaah in which is wisdom and care for people’s circumstances. 

And Allaah is the Source of Strength.

Umat yang adil dan pilihan (Tazkirah 4)

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُدْعَى نُوحٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ لِأُمَّتِهِ هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَتَانَا مِنْ نَذِيرٍ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأُمَّتُهُ فَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ

{ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا }

فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ

{ وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا }

 

Rsulullah s.a.w bersabda : Nabi Nuh a.s akan dipanggil pada hari kiamat lalu beliau berkata Labbaik dan Sa’daik wahai tuhan. Lalu dikatakan kepada Nabi Nuh a.s “adakah kau telah menyampaikan?” Nabi Nuh a.s berkata “ya”. Lalu ditanya kepada umatnya,”adalah dia telah menyampaikan kepada kamu?”. Mereka berkata :”Tidak ada peringatan datang kepada kami”. Allah s.w.t bertanya kepada Nabi Nuh a.s : “siapa sakismu?”. Nabi Nuh a.s berkata : “ Muhamad dan umatnya”. Lalu umat Nabi Muhammad s.a.w menjadi saksi bahawa Nabi Nuh a.s telah menyampaikan.

“Dan Rasul(Muhammad) menjadi saksi atas ( perbuatan) kamu” 2:143

Itulah yang dimaksudkan Allah didalam Quran

“Dan demikian (pula) kami telah menjadikan kamu (umat Islam) umat yang adil dan pilihan agar kamu menjadi saksi atas (perbuatan) manusia dan agar Rasul menjadi saksi atas (perbuatan) kamu”. 2:143

 

Riwayat Bukhari

 

 

Pengajaran dari hadis ini :

 

1)      Umat Nabi Nuh a.s mengingkar bahawa Nabi Nuh a.s telah menyampaikan dakwahnya. Umat Nabi Muhammad s.a.w akan menjadi saksi di akhirat kerana mereka beriman dengan Rasulullah s.a.w dan apa yang diturunkan kepada Rasulullah s.a.w iaitu Al-Quran dan Sunnah Rasulullah s.a.w.

 

2)       Pengajaran kepada umat Islam untuk beriman sepenuhnya bahawa agama Islam telah sempurna disampaikan oleh Rasulullah s.a.w. Menambah dan mengurangkan hukum Islam seperti menuduh Rasulullah s.a.w tidak menyampaikan risalahnya.

 

Manusia & Fitrah

Josef Fritzl lahir pada April 9, 1935 dihukum penjara seumur hidup pada 19 March 20009. diatas kesalahan memperkosa anaknya selama 24 tahun di besmen rumahnya. Setiap hari kita  melihat bertambahnya manusia melakukan perkara-perkara yang luar dari fitrah mereka sebagai manusia melakukannya.

 

Allah s.w.t berfirman bahawa manusia telah diberikan oleh Allah s.w.t hidayah dan ilham mengenai perkara yang baik dan perkara yang jahat.

 

 

وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ

 

Dan kami telah menunjukkan kepadanya dua jalan ( jalan kebaikan dan jalan kejahatan). 90:10

 

 

إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الإنْسَانَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

 

Sesungguhnya kami telah menciptakan manusia dari seteses mani yang bercampur yang kami hendak mengujinya (dengan perintah dan larangan), kerana itu kami jadikan dia mendengar dan melihat (2) Sesungguhnya kami telah menunjukinya jalan yang lurus, ada yang bersyukur dan ada pula yang kafir (3). 76 : 2 dan 3

 

 

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا

 

Maka Allah mengilhamkan kepada jiwa itu (jalan) kefasikan dan ketakwaannya. 91 : 8

 

 

Jelas bahawa manusia kenal perkara-perkara yang baik dan yang buruk melalui fitrah mereka yang diberikan Allah s.w.t . Mereka diberikan ilham bagaimana hendak berjalan, makan dan banyak lagi perkara-perkara fitrah yang baik dan buruk yang tidak ada sebab manusia itu tidak mengetahuinya.

 

Walaubagaimanapun manusia kerap terlupa. Manusia yang dikenal sebagai “insaan” yang bermaksud dari kalimah bahasa arab nasiya iaitu “lupa”.

 

Hubungan antara bapa dan anak juga adalah fitrah. Fitrah untuk bapa menjaga anaknya daripada dihancurkan hidupnya. Menyelamatkan anaknya di dunia dan di akhirat adalah satu perintah, sebagaimana firman Allah s.w.t :

 

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ

 

Hai orang-orang yang beriman , peliharalah dirimu dan keluargamu dari api neraka yang bahan bakarnya adalah manusia dan batu. 66:4

 

Perbuatan Josef Fritzl ini tidak dapat diterima oleh fitrah manusia dan juga syara’. Allah s.w.t maha mengetahui akan ciptaannya. Dari itu Allah s.w.t menerangkan cara-cara melalui Quran dan Sunnah bagi mengelakkan manusia daripada terjerumus kedalam perbuatan yang merosakkan kehidupan manusia di muka bumi ini.

 

Allah s.w.t menurunkan hukum yang keras terhadap perosak-perosak di muka bumi ini. Firman Allah s.w.t :

 

إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِي الأرْضِ فَسَادًا أَنْ يُقَتَّلُوا أَوْ يُصَلَّبُوا أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ مِنْ خِلافٍ أَوْ يُنْفَوْا مِنَ الأرْضِ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْيٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (33)

 

Sesungguhnya pembalasan terhadap orang-orang yang memerangi Allah dan Rasulnya dan membuat kerusakkan di muka bumi ini, hanyalah mereka dibunuh dan disalib atau dipotong tangan dan kaki mereka dengan bertimbal balik atau dibuang dari negeri (tempat kediamannya). Yang demikian itu (sebagai) suatu penghinaan untuk mereka di dunia dan di akhirat mereka beroleh siksaan yang besar. 5:33

 

Keamanan akan hanya tercapai jika manusia ikut hukum Allah azzawajal.

 

 

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ

 

Bukankah Allah hakim yang seadil-adilnya. 95:8
