)….Let us make this Ramadhan better then the previous ones shall we? trying to find hikmah in posting after this month too…haha….what a slacker….but no worries….getting to my point….
Do extra extra extra acts of worship….shut everything down just for this month if you can dear brothers and sisters….turn the t.v and radio off….you can do that after ramadhan…..to the sisters…cover up….to the brothers….lower the gaze….to all of us…let us all pray and be humble slaves as we all should be….seek knowledge wherever and whatever it is…as long as it makes you closer to Allah, then its all good!!!
The weathers abit strange this month isnt it? the air is still….the sky looks different….atmosphere of calmness all round….let us all reap the benefits of this month….please put in a doa for me too if you can!!!! let us pray for all our brothers and sisters….
I had a rocky start to this Ramadhan…and still am going through some bundles here and there….but i guess that is a test from Allah….so i shall remain patient, insya’Allah….found out my heart wasnt as clean as i thought it was….ignorance2….*urghhhh*….but am in the process of bleaching it through….hehe….insya’Allah…..
Striving2!!! Only to seek His pleasure, Mercy, love and forgiveness….
Its not just about not drinking and eating….Masha’Allah….dear brothers and sisters….its much more than that….much2 more….Allah2….alot of people fast and get nothing out of it except hunger and thirst….i dont think you would want that right? dont waste it….dont…dont….its a blessing….take it!!!!
Dont forget ‘Lailatul’Qadr’!!!!!!! last 10 days….dont slack of towards the middle and end of Ramadhan!!!
who wants Aidil’Fitri when Ramadhan is wayyyyy~ wayyyyy~ better!!!!

Dalam solatku yang sudah sekian kalinya, aku tetap merenung telunjukku dalam setiap tasyahud (tahiyyat) awal dan akhir, mengharapkan pahala menurut sunnah mengisi setiap kantung pahala yang tak pernah ku lihat. Berpuluh tahun berbuat demikian, perasaan ingin tahu tetap menerjah hatiku. Mengapa Rasulullah s.a.w. berbuat demikian? Mengapa disunatkan merenung telunjuk sewaktu tasyahud? Pasti ada sesuatu sehinggakan disunatkan berbuat demikian. Bagi yang tak ambil pusing, tetap bahagian mereka dengan kantung pahala yang sarat di akhirat, dijamin Allah s.w.t..
Dirujuk persoalan itu kepada yang arif. Kata mereka telunjuk itu satu, diangkat ketika mengucapkan kalimah ” Aku bersaksi bahawa Tiada Tuhan Yang disembah melainkan Allah ” bagi menandakan keEsaan Allah yang Satu, Yang Maha Esa dan Tiada yang sebanding denganNya. Jawapan yang diberi mententeramkan jiwaku hanya buat seketika. Memang benar apa yang dikatakan yang arif itu tadi, tapi mengapa gelodak jiwa mengatakan ada sesuatu yang lain.
Aku sentiasa terganggu dengan persoalan yang ditimbulkan hati yang mendesak-desak mencari rahsia sebenar sehingga hatiku puas. Kenapa hanya perkara ini begitu mendesak jiwa sedangkan perbuatan itu hanya dilakukan dengan seketika dalam solat.
Sehinggalah di suatu senja yang sangat hening. Hujan lebat mula turun di luar rumah, menghalang langkah insan yang beriman lemah ini untuk ke tempat azan dilaungkan. Ditunaikan tanggungjawabku kepada Yang Maha Pencipta dalam kamar bacaan di rumah. Maghrib itu membuka persoalan lama itu kembali. Mula sahaja tasyahud awal, telunjukku direnung dan membangkitkan kembali persoalan yang sering bermain dijiwaku.
Kekhusyukan dalam ibadatku sedikit teganggu, minda ditumpukan kembali kepada bacaan solat supaya hatiku tetap berpaksikan rasa syukurku kepada Yang Menciptakan diriku dengan segala kesempurnaan. Tapi semua itu terganggu kembali bila saja aku berada dalam tasyahud akhir. Sekali lagi aku mengucapkan kalimah ” Ashhadu allaa ilaa ha illallah ( Aku bersaksi bahawa Tiada Tuhan Yang disembah melainkan Allah) sambil jari telunjukku diangkat menandakan aku mengakui keEsaan Allah s.w.t..
Bagaikan hendak tersembur kandungan dadaku tatkala aku merenung jari telunjukku pada kali ini. Serta merta airmataku mencurah-curah keluar tak tertahan, ditahan sebak dadaku supaya tidak terbatal solatku. Allahuakbar! Allah Maha Besar! Ampunkanlah segala dosa yang telah kulakukan dengan tanganku ini… Ya Allah! Betapa Engkau memuliakan kami manusia dengan kalimah NamaMu pada jasad kami yang kotor ini.. Ampunkanlah kami, ampunkanlah aku… Mulai maghrib hari itu, perbuatan mengangkatkan dan merenung telunjuk dalam tasyahud tidak lagi mengganggu kekhusyukan solatku, tapi ia membuatkan hatiku sentiasa gentar dan sayu..
Sayu mengenangkan dan merindui Allah s.w.t., gentar kerana aku melihat aku ini milik Allah… Ya! Benar.. akhirnya jawapan bagi persoalan itu telah kutemui bila saja terpandang kalimah Allah ditelunjuk kananku.. Subhanallah! Maha Suci Allah! Ampunilah aku sekiranya tangan yang membawa kalimah namaMu yang Maha Suci dan Mulia ini telah aku gunakan untuk melakukan dosa dan maksiat melanggar perintahMu.. Ampunkanlah HambaMu ini Ya Allah…..
How ? .

assalamualaikum,
So there quite a few lectures on israk mikraj goin on in Brunei for the past few weeks to recap what we’ve forgotten….learned new things….heard different parts….but what i liked was the last one i sat for….it was different than the others as it talked about what it thought us and not what happened….it was a good one thing is i kind of forgot most of what was said but i took one thing out of the short lecture….and it hit me hard….at the end the lecturer said something in the lines of;
“You worship Allah not just because you want to get rewarded but in order for Him to be pleased with you…”
Masha-Allah….someway along this path i forgot that doing all this is not just to keep me in line, not just to earn Allah’s forgiveness, not just for Allah to give me rezk’……but just to please Allah…..and if Allah is pleased with you, He would surely give you everything you need and want…..which is the best for you in this dunya and hereafter…..So when doing something in the name of Allah….try to make niah so Allah will be pleased with you and love you and in hopes that you will be closer to Him…..
On another note…..making da’wah is kind of a tricky thing isnt it…..how do you get people to at least start praying?
I myself know that without you wanting to be close to Allah its nearly impossible to do….and i know that only Allah gives His taufik’ and Hidayah’ to His chosen slaves….i know Du’a is important but sometimes it really gets to you when you cant do anything to make someone realise the importance of prayers….they know they should pray but they dont do it….i was like this and thinking back….Ya-Allah, Syukuralhamdulillah Allah has planted something in me to start being close to Him….i know ive been slacking off but atleast He still gives me drive to keep worshipping Him….to me Allah has shown me something which is more valuable than anything He could ever give a slave….His taufik’ and hidayah’….He wills everything….i cant even wake up for Subh’ If He didnt will me to….i wouldnt even have the motivation to worship Him if He didnt will me to…..i wouldnt even be where i am now if it wasnt for His Mercy…i would still be doing all the useless things that id be doing until god knows when….and to see alot are still in the same habit makes you grateful even more…to see so many in loss…still in total darkness….still in ignorance….still….still…..
Allah….Allah….so how do you get people to start praying? just praying….i reckon if you can get someone to start praying their daily prayers, starting from the fajr’ prayers then it kind of becomes a domino effect on everything else….so how do you do this?
just telling them and reminding them to pray isnt enough…they still wont or dont want to do it…even if you say this and that…it goes in one ear and goes out the other….so how do you effectively persuade someone to at the very least start praying…one of the core fundementals of Islam….it was hard for me at first but if someone like me can do it i think the rest of us can do it to….i know that there is no compulsion in religion and that you cant force someone to do things but how can you bring them to start prostrating to Allah?
anyone out there with the answer to this, any tricks of the trade, du’as, any ayahs from the quran you can read and blow in the persons water or food or whatever….anything that would help….please do share…
Hadhrat Jaabir (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Salaat is the key to Jannat.”
(Darami).
Hadrhat Abdulah Ibn Qart (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The first act about which one will be questioned on the Day of Qiyammah will be Salaat. If Salaat is found to be proper, other acts will pass as proper. But, if Salaat is found there to be despoiled, then all other acts too will fail.”
(Tibrani, Ausat).
Hadhrat Hanzalah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he heard Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: “Whoever guards the five Salaat while believing that the Salaat is the Right of Allah, will enter Jannat.”
(Ahmad).
Hadhrat Bareedah (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The subject of pledge which exists between the people and us (the Ambiyaa) is Salaat. Thus, whoever neglects Salaat has become a kaafir (i.e. in terms of practical life, not in terms of Imaan).”
(Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Nisai, Ibn Majah).
