رُبَّ صَائِمٍ حَظُّهُ مِنْ صِيَامِهِ الْجُوْعُ وَالْعَطَش
"Ramai orang yang berpuasa yang hanya mendapat lapar dan dahaga sahaja."
(Hr Ibnu Majah - hasan sahih)

Berpeluh.

Umum kita sudah biasa mendengar hadis ini. Namun sejauh mana kita benar2 mahu berusaha menjadikan puasa kita jauh dari tahapan puasa yang mendapat lapar dan dahaga sahaja.

Moga-moga dengan perkongsian ini, kita dapat periksa semula puasa kita di awal bulan ini, supaya baki2 Ramadhan yang ada ini dapat dimanfaatkan. InsyaAllah.\

Puasa.

Sudah tentu, perkara yang kita bayangkan bila disebut puasa adalah dengan tidak makan dan minum. Namun Islam mengajarkan kita puasa itu bukan sekadar tidak makan dan minum sahaja, tetapi seluruh perbuatan kita itu ada puasanya.

Dari mata, mulut, lidah, tangan kaki, bahkan hati.

Lalu dari sini kita boleh melihat tanda-tanda jika puasa kita itu sekadar mendapat lapar dan dahaga.

Yup, ada tanda-tandanya. Jeng jeng jeng…

***

Kelibat puasa yang mendapat lapar dan dahaga.

1. Ketika berbuka, seolah ada unsur balas dendam.

Saat masuk sahaja bazaar Ramadhan, kita seolah menjadi insan lain.

“Kiah yang dulu bukanlah sekarang.

Kiah yang dahulu terkenal dengan lemah lembut dan ayunya, berjalan dengan penuh gemalai ibarat menari mak yong, namun bila disebut saja bazaar, dia bukan lagi Kiah yang  housematenya kenal.  Matanya merah, lengan bajunya disinsing (ada hand sock), pantas sahaja gerakannya.. seolah ada yang merasuk. Penunggu Bazaar kata roommatenya.

Ngeri.

Jika kita sebelum ini sudah kenyang hanya dengan satu hidangan, lalu apa yang menyebabkan kita merasa dengan membeli 5 hidangan sekaligus, baru kita akan kenyang?

Balas dendam nampak.

Yang merasuk kita tu bukanlah jin atau penunggu setahun sekali, tapi nafsu diri kita sendiri.

Nafsu yang kita belai dan layan sejak 11 bulan yang lalu.

Lalu, nak tengok rupa dan perangai nafsu yang kita layan sejak 11 bulan lepas, tengok nafsu kita bulan ini.

Err…seramm.

2. Tiada pertambahan amal. Langsung.

Disebabkan baginya, makan dan minum tu suatu aspek penting dalam hidupnya, ibarat irama dan lagu, maka apabila dia tidak lagi mampu untuk makan minum seperti biasa, dia seolah tak dapat buat apa. Seolah hilang arah tuju.

Hanya bertahan... bersabar… dan tido. Ehem.

Menambah dan memperbaiki amal tu seolah alien baginya.

Baca Quran?

3 Kul boleh?

Solat tahajjud?

Oh, ada match bola tak time tu?

Solat Dhuha?

Err..dah Zohor a der…

Berhenti makan daging saudara?

Hello…I puasa k. Bukan macam cik Kiah tu, dia tu kan... Eh.

Cuba habiskan 1 juz sehari?

Jap nak update status jap.

Ehem.

Kerana petanda puasa itu adalah puasa yang ikhlas kerana Allah, maka ia akan terlihat dari amalnya.

Pasti akan terlihat dari amalnya.

Hasil harian

Sepatutnya, kesan dari berpuasa pada hari itu akan kelihatan sesudah kita berbuka.

Bermula dari azan Maghrib, sehingga azan Subuh.

Itulah hasil puasa kita hari itu.

Dan semakin lama kita berpuasa, sepatutnya semakin jelas perubahan yang berlaku.

Persoalannya, adakah mampu untuk kita menampakkan kesan perubahannya?

Adakah bulan Ramadhan ini mampu mentarbiyyah kita?

Persiapan

Meskipun kita bermula lambat untuk bersiap sedia menghadapi Ramadhan, atau kita tak sempat bersiap sedia langsung dari Rejab dan Syaaban, masih belum terlambat untuk kita bermula.


Faham. Kadang, bila kita mahu mulakan sesuatu amal, kita terasa berat kan? Salah satu sebabnya kerana 11 bulan yang lepas, itulah kita. Jadi, tetiba untuk berlari dengan amal dalam bulan ini, memang akan rasa berat.

I feel you bro.

Jadi, muhasabah diri.

Buat aim, apa kita nak capai bulan ini.

Mungkin bulan ni, kita boleh perbaiki amal kita, percakapan kita, pergaulan kita yang lebih pemalu, pemakaian kita yang lebih menutup, mata kita yang lebih menunduk. Apa saja.

Kita decide sendiri apa yang kita mahu perbaiki.

Dan jujurlah dengan diri.

Allah tahu hamba-hambaNya yang ikhlas.

Allah tahu.

Oleh itu, jadikan Ramadhan kali ini berbeza dengan Ramadhan yang lepas.

Semoga kisah kita mengenal dan mendekati Allah kali ini, menjadi pengalaman yang manis dikenang untuk Ramadhan yang akan datang.

Biiznillah.

Jom!

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."

***

Hmmm.. what else?

Let's do our best for this Ramadhan. May Allah bless us with His rahmah, insyaAllah.

Oh ya, there some files to be downloaded that catch my interest.

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?”

#Brother Zaki’s Diary

***

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).

Qolbi

(this picture taken from here )

Wahai yang membolak balikkan hati,

Teguhkan hati ku di atas agamaMu,

Kerana aku tak pasti,

Sampai bila aku mampu berdiri,

Sana dan sini,

Godaan menanti,

Menarik narik hati ku,

Aku tak mampu.

Wahai yang membolak balikkan hati,

Teguhkan hati ku di atas agamaMu,

Kerana aku lemah,

Terlalu lemah,

Kerana bisikan itu menguji,

Takut-takut nanti ku turuti.

Wahai yang membolak balikkan hati,

Teguhkan hati ku di atas agamaMu,

Hanyut,

Telah ramai yang aku lihat hanyut,

Arus godaan dunia disangka syurga,

Rupanya neraka bersalut hawa,

Nyenyak berselimut dosa.

Wahai yang membolak balikkan hati,

Teguhkan hati ku di atas agamaMu,

Kerana aku masih bertatih,

Perlahan, lahan, menuju redha Mu,

Terima lah aku,

Dengan segala kotor ku.

Wahai yang membolak balikkan hati,

Teguhkan hati ku di atas agamaMu,

Aku sedar,

Hati ku tidak tetap,

Niat ku sering berubah,

Maka sungguh malang kiranya,

Aku langsung tidak menyedarinya.

Wahai yang membolak balikkan hati,

Teguhkan hati ku di atas agamaMu,

Apa yang harus aku lakukan?

Disaat gelap dan cahaya,

Tak dapat ku beza,

Berjalan dengan menyangka inilah dunia,

Semuanya sangkaan ku saja,

Sangkaan apa yang ku lihat dari ramai manusia.

Penat!

Aku penat menghitung dosa.

Penat terjatuh semula.

Penat dengan kerenah dunia.

Penat dengan lemahnya jiwa.

Penat dengan diri yang terlena.

Kelam!

Dibuai oleh permainan dunia.

Tak ubah seperti kanak-kanak dalam dunia nya.

Leka!

Dan terus leka.

Ya Rabbi dengarkanlah,

Aku lemah.

Dan aku berdoa,

Ya muqollibal qulub

Tsabbit qolbi a’la diinik.

***

Syahr bin Husyib bertanya kepada Ummu Salamah,

“ Wahai Ummul Mu’minin! Doa apa yang paling banyak diucapkan Rasulullah jika sedang berada disisimu?”

Jawab Ummu Salamah,

“Ya muqollibal qulub, Tsabbit qolbi a’la diinik.”

Saya berkata, “Wahai Rasulullah, betapa sring engkau ucapkan doa itu,”

Rasulullah menjawab,” Wahai Ummu Salamah, sesungguhnya tidak ada anak Adam kecuali hatinya di antara jari-jari Allah (didalam kekuasaan Allah).  Sesiapa yang dikehendaki, diluruskanNya. Sesiapa yang dikehendaki, disesatkanNya”

(HR Tirmidzi)

Ya Badrotim

Assalamualaikum. 

Just want to share this nice video. :)

Itu Dia... Zombie

Itu Dia….Zombie!

Keadaan sekeliling suram. Awan tampak gelap. Bergerak perlahan.

Dari jauh sudah kelihatan.

Kelibat makhluk.

Jalannya terhuyung-hayang. Perlahan.

Seolah lemah tak bermaya.

Keadaannya serabai. Tidak terurus.

Dan mulut, seolah berkata sesuatu. Terkumat kamit, suara yang dalam dan halus. perlahan..

Eh, tak-tak!

Saya tidak mengambarkan perihal zombie ye. Saya hanya mengambarkan student yang sedang bersiap sedia menghadapi exam final.. walaupun sebenarnya dari jauh, dah nampak macam zombie! Wahaha..

Tak dinafikan, bila tibanya musim peperiksaan, maka banyaklah zombie-zombieakan yang dilahirkan. Seolah menjadi trend. Seolah adanya virus yang merebak!

Maaf, saya tidak merujuk zombie pada sudut fizikal ya, jika ada, tetapi merujuk pada sudut yang lebih penting. Lebih berbahaya kepada kesihatan jiwa manusia.

Iaitu,

zombie dari sudut spiritual. Sudut dalaman.

Insan yang hatinya menjadi kering.

Lebih kering dari ikan kering dengan garam extra.

Insan yang hatinya menjadi jauh. Lebih jauh dari planet Nameck di Galaksi lain.

Hati yang kering dan jauh dari Allah.

Semuanya, dek peperiksaan yang semakin dekat. Aduh.

Mengejar masa.

Ya, dek kerana tarikh exam yang sudah dekat, dan banyak perlu di’cover’, lalu syaitan membisikan, untuk mengurangkan amal-amal harian kita.

Solat sudah mulai lambat.

Quran sudah mula tak sentuh.

Solat sunat, apa tu..?

Eh surau, kat mana ek..?

Solat Jemaah? eh belum hari Jumaat lagi la. Raya pun jauh lagi.

Jatuh kerusi terduduk.

Sedikit demi sedikit, syaitan menarik kita jauh dari Allah.

Dan kita tak sedar pun.

Bahkan, kita merelakannya.

Membiarkan hati kita jauh dari merasa dan menghayati hidup sebagai Abdullah. Semuanya kerana exam.

Apa tanda-tanda hati menjadi kering dan kontang?

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman itu ialah mereka yang apabila disebut nama Allah (dan sifat-sifatNya) gementarlah hati mereka; dan apabila dibacakan kepada mereka ayat-ayatNya, menjadikan mereka bertambah iman, dan kepada Tuhan mereka jualah mereka berserah.

Al-anfal 8:2

Dia tidak merasa langsung sedikit getaran dalam hatinya.

Bahkan dia tidak merasa kesah pun akan perhubungannya dengan Allah.

Tidak kisah akan keadaan Ibadah dia sekarang.

Tujuan yang jelas.

Jadi, kunci untuk kita benar-benar mengeluarkan dri kita dari menjadi Zombie kering kontang ini adalah dengan memahami tujuan kehidupan kita.

Kenapa kita perlu memahami instead of mengetahui? Oh, pardon my rojak’s.

Kerana faham itu berbeza dari tahu. Faham itu dari hati, membuahkan perasaan dan keinginan. Tahu itu ilmu semata.

Seorang professor psychologydari University of Pennsylvania,Martin Seligmanmenjelaskanbahawasetiapmanusia mahukan kebahagiaan. Tidak mahu tidak, dia akan mencari kebahagiaan itu. Tetapi, kebahagiaan bagaimana dan apa? Allow me to describe in English ey.. Slurpp.. (sambil menghirup air teh)

“we can experience and progress to three kinds of happiness: 1) pleasure and gratification, 2) embodiment of strengths and virtues and 3) meaning and purpose. “

1.     pleasure and gratification

this kind of happiness is easy get. We watch football, we feel happy. We listen to music, we feel happy. Eat, watching drama, comedy series, hang out with friends at mamak’s etc.

But, it is transient. Only for a brief. A momentarily joy.

And thus, people will continue, on and on, searching for this momentarily joy. It’s a vicious cycle. After the joy is over,we will look for it again. And again. We would even go over the boundaries just because, the previous excitement is not so exciting anymore. We would might not becoming a human at all.

2.     embodiment of strengths and virtues

The second level of happiness is through accomplishment. We set our aim, and we strive for it. Upon accomplishment, we feel happy. We feel accomplished. Fulfil. And it will last longer than the previous one. It’s like when you have already finished cooking, or making cards, or even winning a 2 hour game. Feel  me?

3.     meaning and purpose.

But above all of these types of happiness, this is the highest. It lasted longer. Doesn’t even need any extra effort. Doesn’t need multi billion project to fulfil you. Even by a simple act you are already happy. Even by lifting rubbish from the road, is enough.

Meaning and purpose.

Jadi, dengan kita jelas dan faham akan tujuan hidup kita, kita akan lebih bahagia.

Jadi, bahagia kah kita sekarang?

Dan kita mahu mengejar kebahagiaan yang mana? Dan kepada apa?

Tujuan Kehidupan.

Kepada Allah.

51:56 – beribadat kepada Allah

2:30 – khalifah

Jadi, dengan memahami jelasnya tujuan kehidupan kita, sepatutnya, tidak menjarakkan kita dari Allah.

Bahkan, Allah telah mengingatkan kita bahawa kitadicipta, bukan main-main.

"Maka adakah patut kamu menyangka bahawa Kami hanya menciptakan kamu secara main-main sahaja, dan kamu tidak akan dikembalikan kepada Kami?"

Al- Mu’minun 23:115

Bahkan kita dicipta dengan tujuan.

Jadi, dalam kita menjadi hamba Allah ini, bukan hanya 5 kali sehari ketika bersolat. Habis sahaja bersolat, maka kita bukan hamba Allah. Lalu pergaulan kita, makanan, pakaian, bahasa percakapan,post di Facebook kita seolah tiada kaitan dengan Ibadat.Tetapi sebenarnya, seluruh hidup kita itu, bertujuan untuk beribadat kepada Allah.

Dalam setiap perkara yang kita lakukan..

Setiap perkara.

Ketahuilah, kehidupan sebagai seorang pelajar, menduduki peperiksaan, adalah satu dari fasa-fasa hidup yang wajib kita lalui. Sebagaimana kita telah pun melalui fasa kanak-kanak dan remaja.

Jadi, menyedari ini adalah fasa kehidupan yang perlu kita lalui, maka kenapa kita menjalaninya dalam keadaan kita melupakan tujuan asal penciptaan kita?

Kita Abdullah, sebelum exam, selepas exam, ketika tiada langsung exam.

So what is your excuse for taking your Ibadah lightly just for the sake of exam..?

Mula awal

Jadi, perjalanan dalam menjadi Abdullah, harus dimulakan awal.

Biasakan diri dengan ibadah-ibadah sunat. Baca ayat-ayat cinta Allah. Banyakkan berada dalam suasana yang baik.

Ya, ia boleh jadi lambat. Tetapi itu lebih baik dari tak buat.

Kerana cinta itu kata kerja. Bukan kata nama.

Bekerjalah dalam mencintai Allah.

You will find your happily-ever-after life, here in Dunia.

Senyum. 

Again, pardon my rojak’s..

Salam.
