About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Understanding The Meaning of "Test"

Assalamualaikum wbth to all, In the Name of Allah,Most Gracious,Most Merciful,invocation and greetings to our Messenger Muhammad s.a.w, families, friends and the followers. I finally returned to update my blog and hope we are in Allah's blessing..

TEST BASED ON THE LEVEL OF PERSON'S FAITH

If our faith increasingly strong, then the test also as it. This is clear as narrated by Saiyiditina Aishah radhiallahu 'anha that Rasulullah s.a.w also did not escape from receiving a very severe test compared with others :

ما رأيت أحدا أشد عليه الوجع من رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم"... رواه البخاري"

Means : [Sesungguhnya aku belum pernah menyaksikan seseorang (menderita) kesakitan yang lebih parah dari apa yang dideritai oleh Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam. ]

Abu Said AlKhudri also told that one day when he went to meet Rasulullah s.a.w. When He was being fever, then Abu Said putted his hand over His body and still felt the heat although his hand above the blanket that covered Rasulullah's body.Then he said :

فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا اَشَدَّهَا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ اِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يُضَعَّفُ لَنَا الْبَلاَءُ وَيُضَعَّفُ لَنَا الاَجْرُ ‏"‏ ‏. قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اَىُّ النَّاسِ اَشَدُّ بَلاَءً ؟ قَالَ ‏"‏ الاَنْبِيَاءُ ‏"‏ ‏. قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَنْ ؟ قَالَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ اِنْ كَانَ اَحَدُهُمْ لَيُبْتَلَى بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ اَحَدُهُمْ اِلاَّ الْعَبَاءَةَ يُحَوِّيهَا وَاِنْ كَانَ اَحَدُهُمْ لَيَفْرَحُ بِالْبَلاَءِ كَمَا يَفْرَحُ اَحَدُكُمْ بِالرَّخَاءِ ‏

Means :
[“Wahai Rasulullah! Alangkah beratnya cubaan (demam) itu kepada Tuan.”
Baginda bersabda: “Sesungguhnya kami memang seperti demikian itu. Dilipat gandakan cubaan itu kepada kami serta dilipat gandakan pula pahalanya kepada kami.”
Aku (Abu Sa‘id) berkata: “Wahai Rasulullah! Siapakah manusia yang paling berat menerima dugaan?”
Baginda menjawab: “Para nabi.”
Aku (Abu Sa‘id) berkata: “Wahai Rasulullah! Kemudian siapa?”
Baginda menjawab: “Kemudian orang-orang soleh. Bahkan ada antara mereka yang diuji dengan kefakiran, sehinggakan dia tidak menemukan sesuatu kecuali selembar kain (pakaian) untuk dipakai berselimut. Hinggakan ada antara mereka yang merasa gembira menerima bala (musibah) sebagaimana ada antara kamu yang merasa gembira memperoleh kesenangan.”]



'HIKMAH' BEHIND THE PAIN

When we are tested, as a tough Muslim the most important thing we must do is 'Muhasabah'. Remembered and counted how many offenses and sins we did. Therefore when afflicted with such little test, be patient and accept it willingness without any complaints or sadness. Far cry blame to Allah's qadha' and qadr. Necessarily, Allah taala is Most Knowing the 'hikmah' and secret behind it.
There are also someone who tested means to give him benefits and rewards. Make him more 'muhasabah' himself in all situations, willingness and surrender to Allah's conditions. He will face it patiently without sigh and muttering moreover to be dissappointed and despair.
To more clearly, ponder the following hadis that state the difference between two kinds of people. The one afflicted and otherwise.

Hadis Sahih narrated by Abu Hurairah said :

من يرد الله به خيرا يصب منه

Means: Sesiapa yang Allah inginkan padanya sesuatu kebaikan, (Allah) akan mengujinya.
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari)


While this hadis brings other massage. Narrated by Anas bin Malik :

عظم الجزاء مع عظم البلاء , وإنّ الله إذا أحب قوما ابتلاهم ,فمن رضي فله الرّضا. ومن سخط فله السخط

Means: Besarnya pahala (balasan) adalah seimbang (setara) dengan besarnya cubaan (bala). Dan sesungguhnya Allah, bila menyukai suatu kaum, Dia akan memberi cubaan kepada mereka. Maka sesiapa yang redha, baginya keredhaan Allah. Dan sesiapa yang marah (tidak dapat menerima cubaan), maka baginya kemurkaan Allah. (Hadis riwayat Ibn Majah)

Exactly different for individual who had not seized by chalengges and conjecture. Narrated Abu Hurairah conversation between Rasulullah s.a.w and a Badwi :

أخذتك أم ملدم قط؟ قال: وما أم ملدم؟ قال: حر يكون بين الجلد واللحم قال: ما وجدت هذا قط قال: فهل أخذك الصداع قال: وما الصداع؟ قال عرق يضرب على الإنسان في رأسه قال: ما وجدت هذا قط. فلما ولى قال: من أحب أن ينظر إلى رجل من أهل النار فلينظر إلى هذا

Means:
“Adakah engkau (pernah) mengalami ‘Ummu Mildam’?”
Dia berkata: “Apakah dia ‘Ummu Mildam’ itu?”
Baginda bersabda: “Rasa panas yang dirasai di antara kulit dan daging (demam).”
Dia menjawab: “Aku tidak pernah merasakan perkara itu.”
Rasulullah s.a.w bertanya (lagi): “Adakah engkau pernah merasai pening?”
Dia berkata: “Apakah dia pening itu?”
Baginda bersabda: “Rasa sakit berdenyut yang dirasakan oleh seseorang pada kepalanya.”
Dia menjawab: “Aku tidak pernah merasakan perkara itu.”
Maka apabila lelaki itu berpaling (berlalu pergi), Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda: “Barangsiapa mahu melihat (contoh) lelaki daripada ahli neraka, maka lihatlah orang ini.”
(Hadis riwayat Ibnu Hibban)


In Kitab Sahih Ibn Hibban bin Tartib Ibn Balban, Abu Yatim further explained, this not mean someone who stay in healthy in this world will soon become a member of Neraka. What is meant by Rasulullah s.a.w that a person cannot be separated from sins. Iniquity and sin will rewarded in Hereafter, unless it has been pardoned. This includes get some reward in this world either form of desease, sorrow and the sad things.
Wallahu a3lam..

Ahlan Ya Ramadhan


FASTING IN ISLAM

Assalamualaikum wbth,fasting is another unique moral and spiritual characteristic of Islam. Literally defined, fasting means to abstain "completely" from foods, drinks, intimate intercourse and smoking, before the break of the dawn till sunset, during the entire month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic year. But if we restrict the meaning of the Islamic Fasting to this literal sense, we would be sadly mistaken.

When Islam introduced this matchless institution, it planted an ever-growing tree of infinite virtue and invaluable products. Here is an explanation of the spiritual meaning of the Islamic Fasting

# It teaches man the principle of sincere Love: because when he observes Fasting he does it out of deep love for God. And the man who loves God truly is a man who really knows what love is.
# It equips man with a creative sense of hope and an optimistic outlook on life; because when he fasts he is hoping to please God and is seeking His Grace.
# It imbues in man the genuine virtue of effective devotion, honest dedication and closeness to God; because when he fasts he does so for God and for His sake alone.
# It cultivates in man a vigilant and sound conscience; because the fasting person keeps his fast in secret as well as in public. In fasting, especially, there is no mundane authority to check man's behavior or compel him to observe fasting. He keeps it to please God and satisfy his own conscience by being faithful in secret and in public. There is no better way to cultivate a sound conscience in man.
# It indoctrinates man in patience and selflessness, as through fasting, he feels the pains of deprivation but he endures them patiently.
# It is an effective lesson in applied moderation and willpower.
# Fasting also provides man with a transparent soul, a clear mind and a light body.
# It shows man a new way of wise savings and sound budgeting.
# It enables man to master the art of Mature Adaptability. We can easily understand the point once we realize that fasting makes man change the entire course of his daily life.
# It grounds man in discipline and healthy survival.
# It originates in man the real spirit of social belonging, unity and brotherhood, of equality before God as well as before the law.

That's all.. jangan tak pose plk ye=)
