Assalamualaikum
:: Tafseer class for Sisters::

Who’s the teacher:: Reem Othman
Where:: Prayer Room in Sears
When :: Every Friday 3 – 4 pm (Time may change)

Alhamdulillah, we start the class today with the introduction of Surah Yusuf. InshaAllah we are going to spend a few weeks on this surah. :)

Notes from today’s class:

Surah Yusuf is a Meccan sura and it was revealed during the year of sadness. This was the year when Khadijah and Abu Talib died. Rasulullah s.a.w was very sad because he lost two beloved people and also, he was attacked by his own families (uncles). It was a very depressive year for Rasulullah s.a.w. So, Allah revealed the story of Nabi Yusuf a.s so that rasulullah can relate to himself and reflect upon the story.

It is good to read this surah when one is depressed, oppressed and lonely. We’ll see that our problems are nothing compared to what Nabi Yusuf a.s has faced. So, inshaAllah it will bring humbleness and peace to us when we read this surah. Also, what can we learned from this surah is to rely on Allah. We must have hope for Him because Allah’s plan will prevail over ours. Do our Best, and the Leave it to Allah because Allah Knows what is BEST for us.

The tribulations faced by Nabi Yusuf a.s
1) hasad of his brothers
2) separation from family (his beloved father Nabi Ya’kub for 40 years)
3) he was thrown in the well (when he was 12 years old)
4) he became a servant (he inherited prophethood from his great grandfather Nabi Ibrahim a.s )(Yusuf al kareem, ibnul kareem, ibnul kareem, ibnul kareem)
5) seductions by women
6) poisoned for 9 years
7) Reputation dismantled
8) Tribulation of wealth
9) Giving forgiveness to his brothers
10) He was going from good to bad incidents constantly (he was constantly shocked with the bad things that happened to him)

When we faced with tribulation, there are 3 results of tribulations: ( using the analogy of gold, we are the gold, and to mold a gold we use fire, fire is the tribulations, so after the molding process, which type of gold will we be? )
1) zahabil ibrith – Pure Gold meaning we became more pure and firm on Allah’s path even though we were put through hardships
2) baina baina – Tinted gold, when we faced tribulations we questions why are these things happened to me, and it resulted in a little doubt in Allah. And we lost hope for Allah.
3) Aswaad – Black Gold, it is an impure gold, we became deviated from Allah’s path because we questioned too much and have no patience with the trials. (May Allah save us from this one)
We must be patience when faced with tribulations (bala’).

There are 3 levels of Patience:
1) Patience while in tribulations (Sabr bil-bala’) – lowest level of sabr because we have no choice when we faced bala’. We must be patience.
2) Patience in refraining from sins (sabr ‘alal-ma’asi) – we do our best to avoid the sin and not do it – middle level of patience because we are struggling against 4 things (shaytaan, hawa’ nafsu, and dunya). When we refrain ourselves from sins.
3) Patience of being obedient to Allah (sabr ‘ala-tha’at) – highest level of patience because being obedient is an order from Allah, so as much as we obey Him, He will have His Mercy on us.

P/S:: MashaAllah it was a great class, and I encouraged all sisters to join this class. It will be more interesting next week because we will start on the surah itself. Reem is really good. I give her two thumbs up !! :) : InshaAllah next class will be :

Tuesday, 3/1, 4.00pm, Prayer Room

Bismillah [from misg-net]
::
al-Baraa’ ibn Malik al-Ansari ::

..as
salaamu ‘alaykum ..

------
His hair looked dishevelled and his whole appearance was unkempt. He was thin and wiry with so little flesh on his bones that it was painful to look at him. Yet in single handed combat he defeated and killed many opponents and in the thick of battle he was an outstanding fighter against the mushrikeen. He was so courageous and daring that Umar once wrote to his governors throughout the Islamic state that they should not appoint him to lead any army out of fear that he would have them all killed by his daring exploits. This man was al-Baraa’ ibn Malik al-Ansari, the brother of Anas ibn Malik, the personal aide of the Prophet.

Indeed, he’s among the bravest of the companions during the Day of Al-Yamamah. When Musaylimah al-Khadz-dzab and his armies backed up into the Garden of Death and locked the gates, the valiant al-Baraa’ went forward and addressed his company, "Put me on a shield. Raise the shield on spears and hurl me into the garden near the gate. Either I shall die a martyr or I shall open the gate for you."

The thin and wiry al-Baraa was soon sitting on a shield. A number of spears raised the shield and he was catapulted into the Garden of Death amongst the multitude of Musaylamah's men. He descended on them like a thunderbolt and continued to fight them in front of the gate. Many fell to his sword and he himself sustained numerous wounds before he could open the gate.

The Muslims charged into the Garden of Death through the gates and over the walls. Fighting was bitter and at close quarters and hundreds were killed. Finally the Muslims came upon Musaylamah and he was killed.

:: Cerita Kaabah ::


Rupanya Kaabah banyak kali dibina riwayatnya
setelah pertama kali dibina,
Kaabah diruntuhkan sbb tak segiempat sama
kemudian dibina balik..

kemudian rasulullah kata kalau tak timbulkan confuse,
baginda pun nak robohkan dan bina ikut asal
tp baginda tak buat
sahabat yg buat akhirnya (bina ikut saiz asal)
kemudian dirobohkan balik oleh khalifah yg lain pulak
ikut ukuran yg 2nd time bina

masa Harun Aminurrashid, imam Malik tak bg roboh dan bina semula
sbb takut Kaabah jadi mcm alat permainan di tangan khalifah2
so sampai sekarang Kaabah tak sama dengan ukuran asal
sbb tu bile tawaf, tak bleh lalu dalam Hijr Ismael
sbb tu sebahagian daripada ukuran Kaabah sebenar
so kalau lalu dalam tu, seolah2 lalu dalam Kaabah, bukan keliling Kaabah

Allahua'alam
sila tambah lagi sejarah die ni kalau tak lengkap ye
=)




::Here We Are .. ::

29 Dhulhijjah 1425 A.H ...[Muharram tak lame lagi ... sila tambah ilmu pengetahuan kita tentang Muharram. Tak tahu = rugi =) ]

Okies..inshaAllah laporan usrah sisters.

Alhamdulillah Jumaat = Feb 5th,2005 @ 1951 E = usrah sisters

Kami dengar sikit ttg surah al-ma'un
Surah ke-107 yg ada 7 ayat
Ttg org2 kafir+zalim+Munafiq

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

[1] Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)?
[2] Then such as the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness),
[3] And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.
[4] So woe to the worshippers
[5] Who are neglectful of their Prayers,
[6] Those who (want but) to be seen (of men),
[7] But refuse (to supply) (even) neighbourly needs.

Lessons:
- mengasihi dan berbuat baik pd orphans(both boys n girls)
- jangan kedekut
- jgn solat main2, jgn lewatkan solat
- ikhlas buat smth for Allah alone, bukan kerana manusia atau untuk manusia a.k.a riak
- dan banyak lagi ... bole rujuk tafsir ibn al-katheer-inshaAllah-

p/s: sedangkan solat yg malas2 pon x bley(=munafiq = @ lapisan PALING bawah neraka jahannam)...ape tah lagi tinggal solat terus kan?

Pastuh, Adda citer pasal Salman Al-Farisi radiAllahu anhu.
Jauh dia mengembara semata2 untuk cari kebenaran. Kuat semangatnya menghadapi semua cabaran demi kebenaran. Besar pengorbanannya.

Asalnya anak orang kaya, last2 jadi hamba abdi sebelum dia dpt berjumpa Rasulullah salallahu a'layhi wa salam.

Persia -> Syria -> Nasibin -> Madinah

Bermula dari Cikgu pertamanya preacher yg corrupt sampailah dia dapat cikgu terbaik seantero dunia, Rasulullah saw.

Kisah yg plg popular : idea bina parit masa perang khandaq.

etc..etc...harapnya adda leh sambung n tambah =)

Allahu Ta'ala a'lam
