:: Laporan Usrah ::

Meminta Rasyid update laporan usrah hari tu...
rupe-rupenye komputer die rosak.. hantar baiki...
Malu rasanya.. betapa lemah lagi institudi usrah kite ye rakan-rakan
perkara yg terjadi kat member dekat kite pun kite banyak lagi tak tahu
zaman kebangkitan Islam abad ke-20,
zaman Hassan Al-Banna, Syed Qutb, Sayed Sabbiq dsb
Hassan Al-Banna tu siap bleh ingat nama setiap anak² sahabat die
haiwan peliharaan sahabat² die pun die boleh ingat
sentiasa update dan sentiasa kongsi kehidupan dengan sahabat²nya
betapa indah ukhuwwah mereka...

Usrah hari tu alhamdulillah Allah izinkan berjalan dengan baik
seronok la bile nampak wajah tenang semua org
Momon sampai paling awal..9:20-9:25 gitu
lepas tu Judein, Soul sampai kol 9:30.. tepat

Hampir habis membincangkan tafseer surah al-Zalzalah
lepas ni nak kene hafal plak
target sem ni dapat la lagi satu surah
so kite dah dapat surah Al-'Alaq, Al-Qadr dan inshaallah Al-Zalzalah
hurmm banyak tu dalam tempoh satu semester!
korang mmg hebat la!!

surah al-Zalzalah ni Abu Bakr dengar menangis..
kite dengar??
tak paham pun....
cerita dia.. ape saje kite buat atas muka bumi ni.. akan dikira
baik ke buruk ke.. takut...
ade org takut nanti amalan buruk ditunjuk.. malu!!
lebih elok drp tu kalau kite dapat rasa..
takutnya kalau Allah hukum kita kerana kesalahan kecil yg kita buat
ketakutan itu lebih efektif utk jiwa kita yg degil ni...

Hadeeth ke-3 ttg terbinanya Islam atas 5 perkara dah habis kite bace dan kupas dr buku kecil tu
nanti ade duit kite beli tafseer die yg tebal 3 jilid tu nak?!! =)
dah 3 kali usrah kite ulang benda yg hampir sama
kalau nak bina rumah.. kite tak panggil rumah lagi selagi tak cukup komponen die
walaupun dah letak sofa dan katil... kalau takde dinding.. tak sampai hati nak panggil rumah
Islam pun ade komponen die... kalau tak cukup komponen die.. ?? hurmm susah tu..

ramai dah hafal pun hadeeth ni.. alhamdulillah
bleh la ramai2 pun hafal nanti
sbb pendek dan mudah je kan hadeeth ni
perkara ni pun basic dalam agama Islam yg indah ni
so hafal hadeeth ni, inshaallah lulus Pafa kalau ustaz/ah tanya ape die rukun Islam

Lepas tu kite sembang tentang ibadat lagi...
tentang mengaji Quran kan?
so camne perkembangan pengajian masing² ?
dah start baca dengan istiqamah?
kalau busy sangat kan.. kite bukak Quran, baca surah alfatihah pun cukup la
janji setiap hari mesti nak pegang Quran dan belek muka surat die..
nampak tulisan Quran yg mengkagumkan tu..
nanti kita dapat train diri kite tak dapat berpisah dengan Quran,
tak pegang sehari rasa rindu.. hurmm best tu...

ade org pernah tanye..
ape bezanya baca Al-Fatihah tanpa tgk Quran dengan baca Al-Fatihah dr Quran?
hari² pun kite baca Al-Fatihah masa solat kan?
sape rase takde beza pun... angkat tangan!

Hampir last sekali.. Zarif aka zi_nim aka Tanggang2004
bercerita tentang akhlak Muslim dr segi kebersihan
dalil² yg menunjukkan kepentingan kebersihan dalam Islam
kerana itu semua menggambarkan personaliti seorang Muslim
tak gitu Zariff?

Munsif memberi kesimpulan dengan menyetujui apa yg Zarif ceritakan
serta menegaskan pentingnya Quran dan kebersihan
Zul pula menambah bahawa kita perlu amalkan sami'na wa ato'na
seperti yg imam Ibrahim ceritakan dalam khutbah Jumaat
dan jangan bertuhankan undang² sekular

-tam mat-

*sape yg berminat utk menulis dan pengepost something dalam Usrah-Camar ni,
bgtau ek.. nanti aku add dalam list members.

*Bg exco² CaMaR, inshaallah dah add dah korang.. so kene keep us posted yek
dengan nasihat² dan panduan utk kite semua. Anda lebih layak kerana anda pemimpin kami. =)

:: Reflection ::

Semalam : Imam Siraj Wahhaj
Minggu Lepas : Dr Umar Faruq Abd-Allah & Syakh Hamza Yusof
2 Minggu Lepas : Imam Zaid Shakir, Imam Muhammad AlShareef, Imam Mukhtar Maghroui, etc

Siapa mereka ni?
MashaAllah .. merekalah scholars yang sarat dengan ilmu dan pengalaman
Duduk mendengar mereka bercakap .. tidak terasa masa berlalu
Rasa mengantuk nak tertidur pun tak lalu sebab rasa rugi kalau terlepas apa yg mereka perkatakan

Dalam list di atas, 4/6 revert muslims. Tapi quality mereka jauh berlipat kali ganda .. bahasa arab - fasih! Even selama ni diorg adalah native english speakers.

Terasa best nya duduk US sbb ada peluang bersama para ilmuan ni
Terasa sedih bila mengingatkan ramai lagi yg tak berpeluang
Give urself a chance .. klu ada opportunity utk dengar talk dr para scholars di sini
jangan lepaskan

Ilmu tu kena dicari
bak kata pepatah arab
Knowledge Is precious, If you give it all of yourself, It will give you part of It
If You give it part of yourself, it will give you nothing

Therefore, kalau kita nak-tak-nak jer belajar pasal agama sendiri
kitapun dapat rasa betapa kita ni banyak tak tahu dan tak mahu tahu
Again ... No action without knowledge - No knowledge without action
Tak mencari takkan bertemu
dah bertemu tetap takkan kenal kalau tak berkenalan =)

:: Conquest : History of The Khulafa <= ISLAM is The GOOD one=> ::

Sedikit reflection dr kelas almaghrib, NJ

Fatih al-Islam
-----------------

Betapa Kita di sini
kerana dengan rahmat ALLAH azzawajal
Ada hamba-hambaNya yang telah gugur terkorban
Mempertahan, menyebar, dan menegak syiar Islam

Mereka bersatu dalam saf-saf yang padu
di bawah kepimpinan Rasululullah salallahu a'layhi wa salam
di bawah kepimpinan khulafa' ar-rasyidin radiAllahu anhum ajmain
di bawah kepimpinan jeneral-jeneral gagah berani yang bertaqwa
Khalid al-walid, al-muthanna, Sa'ad ibn abi waqas, Abdullah ibn abi sarh
dan ramai lagi
yang telah gugur syahid
untuk asas umah yang gemilang

fatih al-islami
moga Allah merahmati
moga redha Allah menyirami
tenanglah bersemadi
dengan janji JannahNya

On the way back semalam, dah nak sampai ~~Cemara~~ Clarke,
sembang ngan Kerm ape satu bende yg die dapat drp program Nawawi.
(Kerm tulis nanti ape die ek..)
reminder about al-Wahan menggusarkan jiwa
dah lama rasenye kite dengar ttg wahan ni
tp mungkin dah lupe... atau wahan itu sendiri membuatkan kita lupa ttg kewujudannya

Ape dia al-wahan ni?
Rasulullah s.a.w kate, inilah penyakit umat akhir zaman
kita dah jd mcm buih di lataun.. banyak.. terapung2.. tp ape peranannya? apa yg boleh dibuatnya?
semua sekali ikut arus air sahaja.. tak mampu nak buat apa² pun

Wahan = penyakit cintakan dunia

materialistik - cinta yg amat, kpd harta benda duniawi kita
cinta duit, komputer, harta benda, darjat dsb
cinta MSN/Yahoo Messenger sampai tak solat
cinta cinta duit sampai tak sanggup nak sedekah hari Jumaat
cinta tidur/katil sampai tanak bangun subuh

banyak la sangat yg kita sendiri pun dapat nilai diri sendiri
betapa materialistik kite hari ni
semua cek diri sendiri.. dan ambik pengajaran
mcm mana kita nak menghadapi masa depan?
kalau mcm ni sikap kita sehari2
kita rasa kita dapat bangunkan Malaysia?
mungkin dr segi material = yes
dr segi sahsiah.. Allah knows best

tp kalau kita ikut ajaran Islam,
bukan sahaja kita dapat bina negara yg maju
dr segi pembangunan sahsiah..
malah pembangunan yg lain akan turut sama mengiringi
kerna Islam itu syumul.. melingkungi segalanya; menyeluruh
mengejar akhirat bagai mengejar cahaya
dan dunia bagaikan bayang2 yg sentiasa mengekori
namun kalau kita mengejar bayang², cahaya akan semakin kita jauhi

ya Allah...
janganlah Kau jauhkan kami dari petunjuk Mu
siapalah kami tanpa bimbingan Mu

::The Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife by Imam al-Ghazali ::

An exposition of the grave's discourse to the dead, and of their utterances, either on the tongue of common speech, or that of the Spiritual State (lisan al-hal) (from Chapter Seven)

Now, the tongue of the Spiritual State (lisan al-hal) is even more eloquent in communicating with the dead than that of the speech when communicating with the living. The Emissary of God (May God bless him and grant him peace) said, 'When the dead man is laid in his grave it speaks to him, saying, "Woe betide you, O son of Adam! What distracted you from contemplating me? Did you not know that I am the house of trial, the house of darkness, the house of solitude and the house of worms? What distracted you from me? You used to pass me by, strutting on!" Now if he had worked well, then someone will reply to the grave on his behalf, saying, "Do you not see that it was his practice to enjoin the good and forbid the evil?" And the grave replies, "Then for him shall I turn to verdure [a condition of freshness or healthy growth.], and his body shall become radiance, and his spirit shall soar up to God (Exhalted is He!)".' (According to the narrator, 'strutting' [faddad] is to take large strides.) [Ref: al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi, 161; Abu Nu`aym, VI. 90; Abu Ya'la, al-Musnad (Haytami, Majma', III. 45-46)]

Said `Ubaid bin `Umayr al-Laythi 'Not a single man dies without being called by the pit in which he is buried, which declares, "I am the house of gloom, and of loneliness and solitude! If you were obedient to God during your lifetime then today I shall be a source of mercy for you, but if you were rebellious then I am an act of vengence against you. The obedient who enter me shll come forth joyful, while the rebellious who enter me shall emerge in ruin".' Said Muhammad ibn Sabih 'I have heard that if a man is laid in his tomb to be tormented or afflicted by something which is odious to him, his dead neighbours call out to him, saying, "O you who leave your bretheren and neighbours behind you in the world! Was there never a lesson for you in us? Was there no clue for you in our preceding you? Did you not see how our actions were servered from us while you still had some respite? Why did you not achieve that which passed your bretheren by?" Then the regions of the earth call out to him, saying, "O you who were beguiled by the outer aspect of the world! Did you not take heed from your relatives who had vanished into the earth's interior? Those who were beguiled by the world before you and then met their fate, and entered into their graves? You watched them being borne aloft [To the cemetary], availed nothing by those they loved, and taken to the abode which they could not escape."'

Said Yazid al-Ruqashi 'I have heard it said that when the deceased is set in his tomb his works amass around him and are given to speak by God, so that they say, "O bondsman, alone in his pit! Your family and friends are now separated from you, so that today we are your sole companions".'

Said Ka'b [al-Ahbar], 'When the righteous bondsman is laid in his tomb he is suurounded by his righteous acts, such as his prayer, his fasting, his pilgrimage, his engagement in the Holy War, and the charity he used to distribute. Then the Angels of Chastisement approach him from the direction of his feet, but are told by Prayer, "Get back from him, you have no authority over him, for upon those [feet] he stood in me at length for the sake of God". Then they approach him from the direction of his head, but Fasting says, "You have no authority over him, for in the world's abode he thirsted at length for the sake of God". Next they draw near to him from the direction of his trunk, but Pilgrimage and Holy War say, "Get back from him for he exhausted himself and wearied his body when he accomplished the Pilgrimage and the Holy War for the sake of God; no authority do you have over him". Then they approach him from the direction of his hands, but Charity says, "Back! Retreat from my master, for how many an act of charity issued from those two hands to fall in to the hand of God (Exalted is He!), while he acted only for His sake; no authority, do you have over him". Then he shall be told, "Rejoice! Good you have been in life and in death!" Next, the Angels of Mercy come, and spread a heavenly cloth and resting-place out for him, and his grave is widened around him for as far as the eye can see. A candle is brought from Heaven, and from it he has light until God resurrects him from his grave.'

Said `Abd Allah ibn `Ubayd ibn `Umayr at a funeral, 'I have heard it said that the Emissary of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) once declared, "The dead man sits up and hears the footsteps of those that are present at his funeral, but none addresses him save his tomb, which says, 'Woe betide you, O son of Adam! Did you not fear me and my narrowness, and my corruption, terror and worms? What have you prepared for me?"

[Ibn al-Mubarak, (riwaya Nu`aym ibn Hammad), 41; Ibn Abi'l-Dunya, K. al-Qubur (Zabidi, x.397; Suyuti, Sharh, 114).

Assalamu a'laykum warahmatullah

Alhamdulillah ...subhanallahil a'liyul a'zhim
wa solawatullah a'la rasulillah

jumaat, apr 2nd usrah start lebey kurang 930 malam
Jet mengisi usrah dengan gayanya yang tersendiri
Mengenai keputeraan dan penyusuan Rasulullah salallahu a'layhi wa salam
Yang lain pun kadang2 meyampuk dan menambah isi
MashaAllah...rasa best
Tq jet, tq semua;)

Lepas sirah
Sambung point ke-4 dlm saya mestilah Islam dr sudut aqeedah
Matlamat kita adalah mengenal Allah ta'ala
Harapan kita, agar dpt menggunakan 'perkenalan' yang didapati
untuk lebih dekat denganNya
dengan khauf dan raja' yang seimbang
berharap utk dapat keampunan dan balasan yang baik di akhir nanti
and at the same time tetap takut dengan janji hukuman Allah yang SANGAT dahsyat

Okies..itulah secara ringkasnya. Jazaakumullahu khayran katheera
InshaAllah minggu depan:
