Kemeriahan Eidul Fitri - Hari Kemenangan

Tahun ni merupakan sambutan eidul fitri yg pertama saya sambut di rumah sendiri di kampung..tiada lagi istilah balik kampung utk berhariraya bagi kami sekeluarga pada tahun ni ..

'Villa' saya

Pagar di cat baru

Alhamdulillah...saya dapat rasakan kemeriahan Eidul Fitri tahun ini tidak berkurangan malah bertambah lagi memandangkan kami pada kali ini bukan sahaja menjadi tetamu tetapi juga menerima tetamu...terutamanya surprised visit dari sahabat2 lama..

Alhamdulilllah juga, pada sambutan eidul fitri kali ini, saya dapat menziarah kesemua adik beradik arwah ayahanda dan arwah bonda yg masih hidup..Su Merah, Cik de dan Su Lebar..memang nama2 mereka agak pelik tapi itulah panggilan manja yg kami diperkenalkan dari kecik. Dalam pada itu dapat juga menziarah adik-beradik Bapak Mertua di Rantau Abang dan Besut.

Sempat juga buat 2 kali rumah "separuh terbuka" untuk meraikan adik beradik sebelah isteri dan adik beradik sebelah saya..

Suasana Pagi di Sembilan Ramadhan Terakhir

Dan dari Ibnu Abbas Radhiyallahu ‘anhuma, ia berkata : Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda.

“Artinya : (Malam) Lailatul Qadar adalah malam yang indah, cerah, tidak panas dan tidak juga dingin, (dan) keesokan harinya cahaya sinar mataharinya melemah kemerah-merahan” [Tahayalisi 349, Ibnu Khuzaimah 3/231, Bazzar 1/486, sanadnya Hasan]

Gambar-gambar dibawah saya ambil antara pukul 7.00 pagi hingga 7.30 pagi dari tempat yg sama (dari beranda rumah saya ) sepanjang sembilan hari akhir ramadhan. Dan satu antara pagi berikut kemungkinan Malam sebelumnya adalah Malam Al Qadar. Bila? Wallahua'lam...

Allahu Akbar… Allahu Akbar… Allahu Akbar…

Laa Ilaaha Illallaah wallaahu Akbar…

Allahu Akbar wa Lillaahilhamd…

Nikmat Masa

Kuliah subuh hari ini cukup menarik minat saya. Ianya masih lagi berkisar tentang keberkatan Ramadhan dan kelebihan Lailatul Qadar tapi satu perkara yg dikatakan oleh Ustaz tersebut berkenaan kelebihan nikmat masa yg dikurniakan Allah SWT menjawab beberapa soalan yg berlegar dikepala saya beberapa hari ini.

Persoalan yg berlegar dikepala saya ialah kenapa kadang2 kita merasakan kita telah membuat sesuatu perkara/ banyak perkara dalam satu masa yg panjang namun bila kita kita tengok jam..rupa-rupanya baru 30 minit masa berlalu. Dan dalam waktu yg lain..masa kita rasakan berjalan terlalu pantas sampaikan kerja2 masih banyak lagi tidak terbuat.

Ustaz tersebut menceritakan tentang pengalaman peribadinya mengalami nikmat masa semasa bertalaqqi dengan seorang sheikh semasa menuntut di Mesir. Diceritakannya pada satu hari sheikh tersebut memberitahu bahawa sesi talaqqi hari itu akan ambil masa panajng sikit kerana banyak tajuk/kitab yg akan disyarahkan. Mengikut ustaz, kebiasaannya sesi talaqqi akan ambil masa 2-3 jam sahaja.

Pada hari itu, memang dirasakan agak panjang sesi talaqqi tersebut dengan sheikh mengajar dari satu tajuk kesatu tajuk sehingga kaki dan belakang ustaz dan rakannya terasa kebas/lenguh. Melihat keadaan ustaz dan rakannya, tuan sheikh menyuruh ustaz dan rakannya supaya bersandar dan melunjurkan kaki. Kata ustaz, memang kebiasaan orang arab belajar sambil bersandar dan berlunjur tapi pelajar melayu biasanya duduk dengan tertib bila belajar. Ustaz dan rakan terus bertalaqqi tanpa melihat jam sehinggalah selesai.

Apabila telah keluar dari rumah sheikh tersebut, rakan ustaz melihat jamnya dari berkata pada ustaz,"sheikh, anta tahu berapa lama kita bertalaqqi tadi?, satu jam saja". SubhanALLAH...Allahuakbar...inilah kekuasaan Allah yg boleh memendekkan masa dan memanjangkan masa atas kehendakNya.

Kekuasaan Allah inilah juga yg menidurkan Ashabul Kahfi didalam satu gua selama 309 tahun yang hanya dirasa oleh mereka seperti satu atau sebahagian dari sehari. Kekuasaan Allah jualah yg menjaga tubuh badan dan pakaian mereka dari menjadi hancur dek lamanya masa berlalu sedangkan diluar gua, manusia2 sezamannya telah hancur dimakan tanah.

Ustaz juga menerangkan tentang sebenarnya kita tidak perlu hairan jika ada cerita2 ulamak/orang soleh yg dapat mengerjakan solat 100 rakaat satu malam atau menghabiskan Al Quran 10 kali sehari kerana ALLAH mampu menjadikan masa itu panjang dan pendek bagi seseorang dengan KekuasaanNYA sebagai pencipta masa itu sendiri.

Perkara inilah yg tidak dapat difahami oleh Einstein walaupun dia mampu mengeluarkan Teori Relatifnya.




Semoga Allah SWT mengurniakan nikmat masa kepada kita supaya kita dapat beribadat sebanyak mungkin dalam kita mencari Lailtul Qadar pada saat-saat pecutan akhir dibulan Ramadhan Al Mubarak ini..

Something’s Going On! The Muslims Are Coming

Shahadah Time!


The change that you can believe in! Something is happening in America and in the world. The Muslims are coming, again. The election of Barack Husein Obama is an affect of something bigger, if that isn’t big enough. President Obama made a great Ramadan message. It was so strong in its support of Muslims. It expressed the Obama administrations depth of understanding regarding Islam. Obama had to be clear in his speech that he is a Christian, even after saying that critics are still left wondering.

During the month of Ramadan I have been traveling to masajid (pl. masjid/mosque) around the country. Since the beginning of month this year people seem to be racing to take shahadah, testimony of faith in Islam. They are coming in every color, every age and every social status. In the first ten days Allah informed the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, ”You will not guide to Islam who you love, it is Allah who guides whomever Allah chooses.”

My good friend, Tariq Nelson, reminded me that in the 80’s and 90’s many new shahadahs were told to drop out of school to study only the Qur’an and Arabic language. Others were told to abandon their families as “Kafir”s. Many who accepted Islam in prison established their own understanding of Islam on the “inside”. Rahim Jenkins, The Dean of Re-Entry, explains that their understanding created a social-spiritual safety net during their incarceration yet for too many was not adequate for the realities of everyday life on the “outside”. Today as many of these men and women come home they are proclaiming the virtues of Islam from that context and the message is resonating in the heart of many in the ‘hood. We have had teenagers come to us to accept Islam. Take my advice. Go home with them, met their family. Explain to their parents what is going on and get them involved. If they take shahadah ask the parents to sign a document for activities with the masjid: parent consent form. You may be surprised what the reaction will be.

The wealthy and successful from that era have failed to bring the understanding of Islam into their middle-class social circle. Although, there are exceptions to the rule, many have chosen the Sufi-circle where they can maintain their “white privilege” by day while expressing their Muslim identity by night. Today we need those Muslims and their relatives to come out of the closet with their faith and show that Muslims look just like everybody else in America.

What’s going on! It is clearly not because of something Muslims are doing. Many Muslims are trying to live their faith but are not going door-to-door, or engaging in massive conversion rallies to witness about their faith. For the most part Muslims are just reaching out and sharing the faith in action. That’s not what’s doing it.

Many Muslims have expressed fear that the community is not prepared for the influx of new of believers. In the last major wave of conversions/reversions (90’s-Malcolm X: The Movie) many new members of the faith experienced rejection from their families and their communities. The masajid and their new Muslim community failed to give them the full embrace of Muslim Ummahood (Brotherhood and Sisterhood in Islam), as described by Ismail Faruqi, may Allah have mercy upon him.

We have a second chance to make real the promise of Islam in our community. It is too late to get ready the rain has begun to fall, the sun is rising on a new day for Islam and Muslims in America. Our support of these brothers and sisters is more critical than ever. Should we succeed in educating them to reach for the highest levels of service and personal development, they will become a beacon of hope to Muslims around the world. Should we fail they will become a disgrace to the way of life that has given world civilization a model of excellence and inclusion unrivaled in history.

It is our choice and the time is now to invest in the NEW SHAHADAHs, their parents, their children and their communities.

From blog Imam Johari Abdul Malik

- If this phenomena can happened in USA where muslim is a minority...it should be a greater phenomena in Malaysia where muslim is a majority.....but why it did't happened?..For us to ponder..
