«أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ» ......... ISTI`ADHAH (seeking Refuge)

What does Isti`adhah mean :

Isti`adhah means, "I seek refuge with Allah from the cursed Satan so that he is prevented from affecting my religious or worldly affairs, or hindering me from adhering to what I was commanded, or luring me into what I was prohibited from.'' Indeed, only Allah is able to prevent the evil of Satan from touching the son of Adam. This is why Allah allowed us to be lenient and kind with the human devil, so that his soft nature might cause him to refrain from the evil he is indulging in. However, Allah required us to seek refuge with Him from the evil of Satan, because he neither accepts bribes nor does kindness affect him, for he is pure evil. Thus, only He Who created Satan is able to stop his evil. This meaning is reiterated in only three Ayat in the Qur'an. Allah said in Surat Al-A`raf,

"(Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish
(i.e. don't punish them)" (7:199)

This is about dealing with human beings. He then said in the same Surah,

"And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytan, then seek refuge with Allah.
Verily, He is Hearing, Knowing "(7: 200)

Allah also said in Surat Al-Mu'minun,

Repel evil with that which is better. We are Best-Acquainted with
the things they utter. And say: "My Lord! I seek refuge with You
from the whisperings (suggestions) of the Shayatin (devils).
And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! lest they should come near me.''
(23:96-98).

Further, Allah said in Surat As-Sajdah

"The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil)
with one which is better, then verily he, between whom and you
there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.
But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient
ـ and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion
(of happiness in the Hereafter, i.e. Paradise and of a high moral
character) in this world. And if an evil whisper from Shaytan
tries to turn you away (from doing good), then seek refuge in Allah.
Verily, He is the Hearing, the Knowing" (41:34-36).


Virtues of the Isti`adhah:

The Isti`adhah cleanses the mouth from the foul speech that it has indulged in. It also purifies the mouth and prepares it to recite the speech of Allah. Further, the Isti`adhah entails seeking Allah's help and acknowledging His ability to do everything. The Isti`adhah also affirms the servant's meekness, weakness and inability to face the enemy of his inner evil, whom Allah alone, Who created this enemy, is able to repel and defeat. This enemy does not accept kindness, unlike the human enemy. There are three Ayat in the Qur'an that affirm this fact. Also, Allah said,

"Verily, My servants (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism)
ـ you have no authority over them. And sufficient is your
Lord as a Guardian." (17:65)

We should state here that the believers, whom the human enemies kill, become martyrs, while those who fall victim to the inner enemy - Satan - become bandits. Further, the believers who are defeated by the apparent enemy - disbelievers - gain a reward, while those defeated by the inner enemy earn a sin and become misguided. Since Satan sees man where man cannot see him, it is befitting that the believers seek refuge from Satan with Whom Satan cannot see. The Isti`adhah is a form of drawing closer to Allah and seeking refuge with Him from the evil of every evil creature.

~MUKJIZAT AZAN~

سم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Pesanan Semasa Mendengar Azan...

Kematian itu pasti menjelma. Hanya masa dan waktunya yang tidak kita ketahui. Cuba kita amati. Mengapa kebanyakan orang yang nazak, hampir ajal tidak dapat berkata apa-apa.... lidahnya kelu, keras dan hanya mimik mukanya yang menahan kesakitan 'sakaratul maut'.

Diriwayatkan sebuah hadis yg bermaksud: "Hendaklah kamu mendiamkan diri ketika azan, jika tidak Allah akan kelukan lidahnya ketika maut menghampirinya. "Ini jelas menunjukkan, kita disarankan agar mendiamkan diri, jangan berkata apa-apa pun semasa azan berkumandang.

Sebagai orang beragama Islam kita wajib menghormati azan. Banyak fadhilatnya Jika lagu kebangsaan kita diajar agar berdiri tegak dan diamkan diri. Mengapa ketika azan kita tidak boleh mendiamkan diri? Lantas sesiapa yang berkata-kata ketika azan, Allah akan kelukan lidahnya ketika nazak .

Kita takut dengan kelunya lidah kita semasa ajal hampir tiba maka kita tidak dapat mengucap kalimah "Lailahaillallah.." yang mana sesiapa yang dapat mengucapkan kalimah ini ketika nyawanya akan dicabut Allah dgn izinNya menjanjikan syurga untuk mereka.

Dari itu marilah kita sama-sama menghormati azan dan mohon kepada Allah supaya lidah ini tidak kelu semasa nyawa kita sedang dicabut.
"Ya Allah! Anugerahkanlah kematian kami dengan kematian yang baik lagi mulia, lancarkan lidah kami mengucap kalimah "Lailahaillallah.." semasa sakaratul maut menghampiri kami.
Amin..amin..amin Yarobbal a'lamin.."

WASIAT NABI MUHAMMAD S.A.W. kepada SAIDINA ALI R.A.;
Wahai Ali, bagi orang 'ALIM itu ada 3 tanda2nya:

1) Jujur dalam berkata-kata.
2) Menjauhi segala yg haram.
3) Merendahkan diri.

Wahai Ali, bagi orang yg JUJUR itu ada 3 tanda2nya:
1) Merahsiakan ibadahnya.
2) Merahsiakan sedekahnya.
3) Merahsiakan ujian yg menimpanya.

Wahai Ali, bagi org yg TAKWA itu ada 3 tanda2nya:
1) Takut berlaku dusta dan keji.
2) Menjauhi kejahatan.
3) Memohon yang halal kerana takut jatuh dalam keharaman.

Wahai Ali, bagi AHLI IBADAH itu ada 3 tanda2nya:
1) Mengawasi dirinya.
2) Menghisab dirinya.
3) Memperbanyakkan ibadah kepada Allah s.w.t.

Wang RM50 kelihatan begitu besar bila dibawa ke kotak derma masjid,
tetapi begitu kecil bila kita bawa ke supermarket. 45 minit terasa terlalu
lama untuk berzikir tapi betapa pendeknya waktu itu untuk pertandingan
bola sepak. Semua insan ingin memasuki syurga tetapi tidak ramai yang
berfikir dan berbicara tentang bagaimana untuk memasukinya .

Kepada sahabatku yang dimuliai & dihormati...
Kita boleh mengirimkan ribuan 'jokes' dan ' surat berantai' melalui
e-mail mahupun edit/mengedit dan lain-lain..tetapi bila mengirimkan yang berkaitan dengan ibadah seringkali berfikir 2 atau 3 kali.....

ARGUMENTS worst sort of conversations part 2

سم الله الرحمن الرحيم

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER IF WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN ARGUMENT:
(whether here on the Internet or in person)

1. "Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth, best who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." (The Qur'an 16.125).

First of all, if the topic of dispute is not an Islamic one, then it is better to be quiet and not waste our time and effort on something that is not beneficial. If it is in regards to Islam, then as the above Ayah states, we must be polite and choose our words carefully. We should not insult, curse, swear, or get angry. We should always remember that we are representing how a Muslim behaves to everyone around us [i.e. adults and kids]. We should not do anything to blemish the image of an Ideal Muslim.


2. We should keep an open mind. Sometimes because of our limited knowledge, we believe that our opinion is the correct one. However, it could be that the other person's argument could actually be the Truth.

3. We should not assume that there is only one correct answer. There are many topics that have different opinions between the Scholars. We may believe one to be true, but that does not mean the other person is wrong. However, what is stated as Haram is Haram, Halal is Halal, and doubtful is better to avoid as per the below Hadith:

Prophet Muhammad [SallAllahu Alayhi Wasallam] is reported to have said:"Halal is clear and Haram is clear; in between these two are certain things that are suspected. Many people may not know whether those items are Halal or Haram. Whosoever leaves them, he is innocent towards his religion and his conscience. He is, therefore, safe. Anyone who gets involved in any of these suspected items, he may fall into the unlawful and the prohibited. This case is similar to the one who wished to raise his animals too close to a restricted area, so that the animals may step into that area. Indeed for every landlord there is a restricted area. Indeed the restriction of Allah are the Haram." (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)


4. Our intention should only be to inform the other person of the Truth. It should not be to make them think that we are right, or that we are very knowledgeable, or to make them feel inferior.

5. We should only provide guidance given in the Qur'an and Hadith with reference in regards to the topic of dispute. We should not include our personal opinions or present day scenarios. We should remember that Islam is a perfect religion for all times.

6. Lastly, if we do not have any knowledge of the topic, then we should not try to get involved just for the sake of argument. This will not only take a lot of our time and effort, but in the end it might make us lose some respect in the minds of others.

Finally, we should always remember this Hadith when we are involved in an argument:

"I guarantee a house in Jannah for one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the right; and I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Jannah for one who has good manners.'' (Sunan Abu Dawud)


May Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) help us All in keeping away from time and energy wasting arguments, and allow us to be one of those who help others as well as themselves in following the guidance given in the Qur'an and Hadith in our daily manners. Ameen.

Arguments..The worst sort of conversations!

سم الله الرحمن الرحيم

These days it's a common sight to see people arguing via comments on many of the Islamic pages on the Internet. While reading such comments, it makes us wonder at many times if the person is arguing for the sake of proving their point, or rather for the Truth to be known.

If the argument is for the sake of proving their point only, then this is what is said in the Hadith:
“Whoever sought knowledge for the purpose of using it
to compete with the learned or showing ability to be contentious
with stupid people, or to draw people’s attention to him,
Allah will put him in hell.”
(Authenticated by Al-Tarmidhī, on the relation of Ka‘b Ibn Mālik)


If the argument is rather for the Truth to be known, then this is what is said in the Qur'an:

"Let there be no compulsion in religion.
Truth stands out clear from Error; whoever rejects Evil
and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold,
that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things."
(The Qur'an: 2.256)


"So (O Prophet) exhort them (to the right path).
(for) Your task is only to exhort.
You cannot compel them (to accept the truth).
Whosoever turns away and disbelieves,
Allah will punish him with a mighty punishment.
Surely to Us they will have to return,
then it will be upon Us to call them to account (for what they used to do)."
(The Qur'an: 88.21-26)


According to the above Ayat, we should only let the Truth be known but not enforce it on anyone because the Truth is self-apparent. In the end, we can only pray that Allah [Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala] guides them to the right path.

When we argue, the devil joins us!

Once the Prophet [SallAllahu Alayhi Wasallam] was sitting with his Companions, and one person used insulting words against Abu Bakr [Radhiallahu 'Anhu] causing him pain. But Abu Bakr [Radhiallahu 'Anhu] remained silent. The person again used bitter words against Abu Bakr [Radhiallahu 'Anhu], and still Abu Bakr [Radhiallahu 'Anhu] did not respond. The third time when this ignorant person hurt Abu Bakr [Radhiallahu 'Anhu] with his tongue, Abu Bakr [Radhiallahu 'Anhu] tried answering back.
At this point the Prophet [SallAllahu Alayhi Wasallam] got up. Abu Bakr [Radhiallahu 'Anhu] asked him, “Are you displeased with me, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet [SallAllahu Alayhi Wasallam] replied, “No, but (when you remained silent) an angel came down from the heaven responding to this man’s talk. But the moment you started replying to that man, the angel went away and the devil sat down. And I cannot sit where the devil is sitting.” (Abu Dawud B41#4878)


May Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) help us All in keeping away from time and energy wasting arguments, and allow us to be one of those who help others as well as themselves in following the guidance given in the Qur'an and Hadith in our daily manners. Ameen.

JazakaAllah Khair

AS minta nasihat Malaysia

WASHINGTON 10 April - Kunjungan Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak ke Amerika Syarikat (AS) kali ini, yang kedua selepas mengambil alih jawatan Perdana Menteri, dijangka membawa makna besar dalam konteks hubungan Malaysia-AS dan AS dengan dunia Islam. Presiden Barack Obama difahamkan akan meminta nasihat Kuala Lumpur dalam usaha memperbaiki hubungan AS dengan negara-negara Islam seperti mana sikap keterbukaan terhadap dunia Islam yang dinyatakannya ketika berada di Universiti Al-Azhar, Mesir baru-baru ini.

Duta Malaysia ke AS, Datuk Seri Dr. Jamaludin Jarjis membayangkan perkara itu kepada wartawan Malaysia yang berada di sini bagi membuat liputan lawatan kerja Najib ke AS bermula hari ini sehingga 16 April. Kali pertama beliau melawat AS atas kapasiti Perdana Menteri ialah November lepas. Perdana Menteri yang tiba tengah hari ini akan turut menyertai Sidang Kemuncak Keselamatan Nuklear di sini pada Isnin dan Selasa ini, juga atas jemputan Obama.

"Perubahan agak mendadak... cara AS melihat Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam maju dan contoh kepada negara Islam lain. Semestinya kerajaan menimbang 'mengkaji' hubungan dengan AS," jelasnya. Jamaludin berkata, perkembangan tersebut amat jelas apabila Malaysia, yang bukan pun negara nuklear, diundang menyertai sidang kemuncak berkenaan.

Sebanyak 44 pemimpin dunia dijemput mengikuti sidang kemuncak itu. Malah, jelas beliau, Najib merupakan satu-satunya pemimpin dari ASEAN dan salah seorang daripada dua pemimpin Asia yang akan mengadakan pertemuan dua hala dengan Obama. Pertemuan Najib-Obama akan berlangsung sejurus sebelum Sidang Kemuncak Keselamatan Nuklear bermula. China adalah negara kedua di Asia yang akan mengadakan perbincangan dua hala dengan AS.

"Jemputan Obama kepada Perdana Menteri bagi menghadiri sidang kemuncak ini suatu kebanggaan kepada Malaysia kerana kita bukan sebuah negara nuklear; dan nampak ia satu anjakan bukan sahaja dalam hubungan dua hala Malaysia-AS malah hubungan AS dengan negara-negara Islam secara keseluruhan," jelas Jamaludin.

Obama hanya mengadakan perbincangan dua hala dengan sembilan sahaja daripada para pemimpin yang menghadiri sidang kemuncak itu yang antara lain bertujuan memberi fokus kepada soal keselamatan bahan-bahan nuklear selain memastikan teknologi nuklear tidak jatuh ke tangan pengganas. Selain Obama, Perdana Menteri akan mengadakan pertemuan pada majlis makan tengah hari pada Isnin dengan Naib Presiden AS, Joe Biden, bertemu Timbalan Setiausaha Negara, James Steinberg dan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Hal Ehwal Luar AS yang juga anggota Kongress, Howard Berman.

Dalam konteks menangani ancaman dan keselamatan juga, Perdana Menteri akan menyampaikan ucapan dasar berkisar kepada pengalaman dan kejayaan Malaysia menangani ancaman komunis di Pusat Kajian Strategik dan Antarabangsa (CSIS) di sini pada Rabu. Dua tokoh yang sama-sama terlibat dalam menangani perkara itu iaitu bekas Ketua Polis Negara, Tun Hanif Omar dan bekas Panglima Angkatan Tentera, Jeneral (B) Tan Sri Mohd Hashim Ali turut dijemput oleh CSIS.

Jamaludin juga berkata, Perdana Menteri akan mengambil peluang untuk memperjelaskan kerangka Model Ekonomi Baru (MEB) yang dilancarkannya akhir bulan lalu semasa mengadakan pertemuan dengan para pelabur dan ahli-ahli perniagaan di sini dan di New York, sebagai langkah menarik pelaburan, khususnya dari AS. Antara mereka ialah Presiden Bank Dunia, Robert Zoellick serta ketua-ketua pegawai eksekutif Coca-Cola, Intel, Motorola dan Conoco Phillips. Sebagai langkah memajukan sektor pelancongan dan kebudayaan negara, Perdana Menteri yang diiringi isteri, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor akan melancarkan Festival Wajah-Wajah 1Malaysia iaitu program anjuran Kementerian Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan. "Pelancongan kita amat kurang promosi di AS dan ia kesempatan terbaik untuk mempromosikan Malaysia," katanya.

"Masuk Bakul Angkat Sendiri"

Mungkin inilah sindiran yang paling tepat untuk kita berikan kepada Duta Malaysia ke AS, Datuk Seri Dr. Jamaludin Jarjis (JJ) berkenaan dengan kononnya AS akan meminta nasihat Malaysia dalam usahanya untuk memperbaiki hubungan dengan negara-negara Islam yang lain sempena pertemuan Najib dengan Obama nanti. Sebagai umat Islam, amat malang bagi kita mempunyai seorang duta seperti JJ yang begitu mudah tunduk kepada tipu daya yang dimainkan oleh pemimpin pengganas nombor 1 dunia itu. Ramai pemimpin umat Islam hari ini merasakan seolah-olah Obama umpama “Superman” yang mempunyai kuasa ghaib untuk menyelamatkan dunia. Sedangkan dari segi faktanya, AS adalah sebuah negara kafir harbi fi’lan yang statusnya pada saat ini berada dalam keadaan memerangi umat Islam. AS adalah sebuah negara yang berideologikan Kapitalisme yang mana mereka menggunakan pendekatan kolonialisme sebagai thariqah untuk mengembangkan dan menyebarluaskan ideologi Kapitalisme ke seluruh dunia. Seperti serigala yang dahagakan darah, AS tidak pernah berhenti ataupun rasa bersalah membunuh jutaan umat Islam di seluruh dunia. Keadaan semasa umat Islam di seluruh dunia khususnya di Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan adalah bukti yang cukup jelas untuk kita mengenali siapakah AS sebenarnya. Suatu kelemahan dan petanda buruk bagi umat Islam hari ini apabila mereka mempunyai para pemimpin yang berpemikiran sekular seperti JJ dan Najib yang tanpa rasa malu menundukkan diri mereka kepada kuffar barat AS laknatullah untuk mencari kemuliaan di sisi orang-orang kafir.

Firman Allah SWT: ” Padahal bagi Allah jualah kemuliaan dan kekuatan itu dan bagi RasulNya serta bagi orang-orang yang beriman; akan tetapi golongan yang munafik itu tidak mengetahui (hakikat yang sebenarnya)”[TMQ Al Munaafiquun (63) : 8].
