Hooray! Its Ramadhan already!

Ramadhan is the ninth month according to islamic calendar.

Surely, all muslim around the world (!) are looking forwards for this month and always prays for another meeting with next ramadhan in their lifetime.

اَللّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِى رَجَبَ وَ شَعْبَانَ وَ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَان

Allahumma barik lana fi Rajab wa Sha’ban wa ballighna Ramadan.

“O Allah! Make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan.”

[Narrated by at-Tabarani and Ahmad]

Allahumma balighna Ramadhan.

Allahumma balighna Ramadhan.

Allahumma balighna Ramadhan.

Alhamdulillah, I believe that the readers also has met with Ramadhan. May Allah ease us in our business of jihad and firming our faith towards Him.

Its utterly true and undeniable that, The month of Ramadhan Al-Kareem inspire us to do many and many good deeds, and gain rewards and mardhotillah, InsyaAllah. The multiplicity of rewards for those who are doing any good deeds truly inspire us.

In the history of Imam Muslim:

كل عمل ابن آدم يضاعف الحسنة عشر أمثالها إلى سبعمائة ضعف قال الله عز وجل إلا الصوم فإنه لي وأنا أجزي به يدع شهوته وطعامه من أجلي. 

"Every son of Adam a charity that is done will be multiplied. The goodness multiplied into ten to seven hundred times. Then Allah Almighty says, "Except for fasting. Indeed it was for my fast and I was the one who gave the reward. People who leave orgasm fasting and eating as I am alone. "

But, it is encouraged that we are not doing and obeying His rule and His order just because expecting His rewards. We must do it with Ihsan, with Ikhlas.

Because, we love Him.

Because, we want His redha.

May Allah, bless us His Jannatul Firdaus for us in the hereafter.

Hmm.. FIFA

Fasting is For Allah.

This thought still being remembered by most of us, since we are in World Cup Season.

What is the effect of fasting to Muslim who participate in the world cup football?

Anyone thought about it before?

I read an article which catch my interests, I collected only some parts of it, you may read it here .

FIFA reportedly studied the effects of fasting before the tournament started, with "positive" results. "If you do it intelligently, then you can adapt perfectly," Dr. Michel D’Hooghe, FIFA's medical committee chairman, told the New York Times. "Before the sun comes up, they have enough hydration to go on through the whole day.”

Professional footballer Kolo Toure, who plays for his native Côte d'Ivoire and Liverpool in the Barclay's Premier League, has said he adjusts for Ramadan yearly when the holy month falls during their season. "It's been tough, but at the same time I feel like I am much stronger, because my mental condition takes over," he told Liverpool FC's official website last summer.

NBA basketball player?

NBA basketball player Hakeem Olajuwon was also known to play while fasting during Ramadan, by drinking a gallon of water and eating seven dates before sunrise. Germany's Ozil, according to the BBC, fasts as much during Ramadan "as his sporting commitments allow."

Its Ramadhan!

ON a fine regular day, such glaring light with heat of Kuala Lumpur sun always striking up people nerve by drying up their moist of throat. Mineral water should be the best resolve for this larynx and  pharynx. H2O. But, if someone treat me of iced milo, iced teh ‘o’ or any other sugary drink, now that,  it’s better!

I was just finished my CSU practice in that morning, and on that noon, I was at Bukit Sentosa to go for a shopping. Well, my Protex soap, and Daia washing detergent had done for. Need to buy a new stock. Fortunately, Azam was willing to accompany me. He was so nice, and yet handsome (perhaps).

“Azam, today’s so hot. You know. The rays of sun radiating around my body, and I feel like, I’m being grilled now.”

“Waahh! That’s some metaphors there. Nice try, and keep it up.”

“I’m deadly serious, man.”

“…. Okay.”

Then, I suggest to him, “may we buy a bottle of mineral water? We share our money. You pays nifs, and I pays the other nifs.”

“Hah. Nifs?”

He asked again, “ what sort of animal is that nifs?”

“Waa… You don’t know?”

Nifs?

I guess, you guys should already aware of the Nifs Sya’aban recently (Or not?)

Well, I’m not going to tell these hadiths about Nifs Sya’aban are Dhaif. These are Hasan, these are Shahih.

No. I think everyone of you should know already. But, I will just share one of those Shahih Hadiths.

From Usamah bin Zaid reported, that he said, 

“I have asked, ‘ Oh Rasulullah, why I have never seen you fasting in other month, as much as you are fasting in the month of Syaaban?’”

Rasulullah s.a.w. replied, “that’s  the month where lot of people forget, between the month of Rejab and Ramadan. It is the month where our deeds were raised to the God of the universe, and I love when my deeds were being raised during I am fasting.”

(This hadith was reported by Ahmad 5/201, Ibnu Abu Syaibah 2/347, An-Nasâ’i 4/201, Ath-Thahawy in Syarah Ma’âny Al-Atsâr 2/82, Al-Baihaqy dalam Syu’bul Imân 3/377 and Abu Nu’aim dalam Al-Hilyah 9/18. And the sanad was declared as ‘Hasan’ by Syaikh Al-Albany dalam Irwâ’ul Ghalîl 4/103 and Tamâmul Minnah hal. 412 )

Afterall, the main issue here is, have we really prepare enough for the coming Ramadhan?

Its Nifs Syaaban already, and its proving that the Ramadhan is drawing nearer to us.

Too near!

Fasting should be one of the important practice, preparing for the coming Ramadhan.

But, the most important preparation is the ‘tarbiyah ruhiyah’ within yourself.

We might able to control our evil ‘nafs’ of eating, but we might just lose control of the heat of ‘nafs’, with some shaytan sweet whispers. We may just fell into their trap. I believe that its about our spontaneous action (akhlak). That’s what we must educate.

We build the pillars of faith, we develop absolute barrier from any evil whispers. Love Allah. Love Rasullullah. Some may prefer, spending at least 5-10 minutes to recall that Allah was still with us.

Pondering

about the sky without pillars, and the creations without flaws. Allah, was truly, our God. Our Creator.

(picture taken from here )

“Travel through the Earth and see how God did originate creation” (Surah Al-Ankabut 29:20)

Its really a refreshing thought. Renewing your Iman, along with the saying, ‘La Ilaha Illa Allah’.

We shouldn’t also forget, we are one of His creation.

 “Now let man but think from what he is created “ (Surah Al-Waqiah 56:5)

Yes. Allah was the one who create us, filthy human (from filthy semen and tiny ovum). He develops us within His Sunnatullah.

“We created you out of dust, then out of a sperm, then We fashioned you into something which clings into a chewed lump of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed” (Surah Al-Hajj 22:5)

Thus, one should never forget, and always remind himself/herself to never let yourself act accordingly to the Shaytan desire. They are our true enemy.

Even though, bad intentions/thought might come out nowhere. Say, ‘Astaghfirullah.’ ‘SubhanAllah, may Allah protect us from any act of evils.”

Take care of your faith.

Keep your ‘Iman’ straight.  La'ilaha Ilallah, Muhammadan Rasulullah. There Is No Diety Worthy Of Worship except Allah And Muhammad(Pbuh) Is His Messenger.

Ameliorate your Akhlak.

And Be a good muslim. And of course, the beneficial one!

May Allah ease our path towards His Jannah. InsyaAllah.

When Death comes around the corner.

Yes! Truly. Death is inevitable.

Whenever it comes approaching us, can we said to him, "Oh! Wait! I don't prepare yet!

Yes, surely,

(the picture taken from: here)

It comes whenever he wants.

He goes whenever he wants.

But, still Allah is the One who decide everything about his creation's death.

When that person is going to die?

When this person is going to die?

When is this WORLD going to DIE?

"And no person can ever die except by Allah's Leave and at an appointed term." (Al-Imran, 3 : 145)

 And, All of us, will return to Him.

"Truly,to Allah we belong and truly to Him we shall return" (Al-Baqarah, 2: 156)

As the time comes. It comes. Never delayed even in seconds. Regardless of situation of the individual!

Isn't Allah says that,

Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in fortresses built up strong and high! (An-Nisa', 4 : 78. )

Therefore, let's be wise. Let's prepared anything that we need to prepare.

Do 'amal and good deeds whenever we can, and whereever we ate.

Ibn ‘Umar said: I was with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when a man from among the Ansaar came to him and greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with salaam, then he said: “O Messenger of Allaah, which of the believers is best?” He said: “The one who is best in attitude.” He said: “Which of the believers is most wise?” He said: “The one who remembers death the most, and is best prepared for what comes after it. Those are the wise.” narrated Ibn Maajah (4259).
