Bismillah
Assalamua'laykum warahmatullah
:: To Proceed ::

Bila berteraburan barang-barang yang hendak dihantar ke malaysia, yang hendak diberi pada orang lain atau dibuang, terasa banyak nya harta benda yang dikumpul dan disimpan selama empat tahun di sini. Terkejut juga dibuatnya bilamana terasa rumit untuk mengemaskan barang-barang tersebut dan untuk mengosongkan bilik ini. Terfikir, bagaimana pula kesusahan yang akan ditanggung bila kembali pada tuhan dengan mengheret berguni-guni harta dunia dalam kehidupan yang singkat ini?

InshaAllah, sekejap lagi akan berpisah dengan bumi Cleveland. Empat tahun sudah berlalu dan sekeping ijazah sudah berada di tangan. Terfikir, cukupkah ilmu dan bekalan yang ditimba selama ini untuk pedoman dan panduan buat kehidupan yang penuh taqwa di masa hadapan?

Selama empat tahun juga ber'jihad' menuntut ilmu di CASE, empat tahun juga ber'jihad' untuk terus bersabar dalam keta'atan pada Allah azzawajall, bersabar dalam menghindari kema'siatan, dan bersabar dalam ujian dari Allah azzawajall. Terfikir, adakah telah digunakan sepenuhnya tempoh empat tahun itu untuk sepenuhnya belajar dan bekerja hanya untuk Allah ta'ala? Adakah telah ber'jihad' dengan sepenuh hati dan ikhlas lillahi ta'ala? Adakah telah matang untuk menghadapai cabaran kehidupan selepas ini? Apa yang mampu dibawa pulang?

Untuk yang tinggal di CASE ...
1- tolong tengok2an dan support usrah sisters. Kalau xde yg sanggup bantu-membantu, nnt semuanya berhibernasi
2- minta ampun ma'af segala salah silap, umpat-mengumpat, bahasa dan perlakuan yang menyinggung
3- minta halalkan segala hak-hak yang tak terbayar balik, tak dikembalikan, tak tertunaikan
4- moga berjaya dunia akhirat
5- best kenal semua. InshaAllah, panjang umur jumpa lagi

And Allah ta'ala knows best..

:: Using abbreviation when spreading salaam ::


I have received e-mails which use ASAK instead of "As-salaamu 'Alaykum…". I consider this to be innovation and not appropriate. I would appreciate your comments.

Fatwa :

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, may Allaah exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

The Islaamic greeting is "As-salaamu 'Alaykum…" writing it abbreviated consists of many prohibitions some of them are as follows:

It is an innovation; when the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, wrote a letter to Heraclius, he wrote: "As-salaamu 'Alaa manittaba' al-Huda" (peace be upon those who follow the Guidance)." The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, did not write the abbreviations. The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: “Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours that is not part of it, will have it rejected.” [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

The wording according to another narration is, “Whoever does any action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours (i.e., Sunnah), will have it rejected.”
Using the abbreviation "ASAK" leads to the desertion of the expression that is legislated in Islaam.

One does not get the reward that he would get had he used the actual words of greeting. A Muslim has to search for what is better as far as the matter of reward is concerned. It is reported by Imam Ahmad and others, may Allaah have mercy upon them, that a man came to the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and said, "As-Salaam ‘Alaykum" and sat. The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “He will have ten rewards.” Another man came and said, “As-Salaam 'Alaykum wa rahmatullaah” and sat. The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “He will have twenty rewards.” Then another man came and said, “As-Salaam ‘Alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu”, and sat there. The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “He will have thirty rewards.”

The narration proves that the more the words of greeting are complete and perfect the higher and greater is the reward.
Actually by greeting one is supplicating for the person whom one meets. This purpose could not be achieved by the use of abbreviations; perhaps the greeted person may not pay any attention to such words, etc.
Muslim scholars dislike using abbreviations in place of the words of invoking blessing on the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam. The matter of greeting is also like the invocation of the blessings on the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam.
Qur'aanic style and Islaamic teachings reject using the abbreviation "ASAK". So, it should be avoided.
Allaah knows best.

:: PRINCIPLES OF TAJWEED ::



One who wishes to learn a science needs to know its principles so that he will gain insight into the sought science. There are several principles in the science of tajweed that should be understood:

1. Its definition By linguistic definition: Betterment

Applied definition: Articulating every letter from its articulation point and giving the letter its rights and dues of characteristics.

Rights of the letters are its required characteristics that never leave it. The dues of the letters are its presented characteristics that are present in it some of the time, and not present at other times. i.e. the medd, idgham

2. Its formation

The words of the Glorious Qur'an and some said Honorable Hadiths also.

3. Its fruits

It is preserving the tongue from mistakes in pronunciation of the Glorious Qur’an during reading.

4. Its precedence

It is one of the most honored of sciences and one of the best of them due to its relation to Allah’s words.

5. Its place within the sciences

It is one of the Islamic Law sciences that are related to the Glorious Qur'an.

6. Its founder

The rule setter from the practical point of view is the Messenger of Allah because the Qur’an was revealed to him from Allah, the most High, with tajweed, and he, was instructed on it from the Trustworthy, Jibreel, peace be upon him, and taught it to his companions, who then taught it to their followers and so on until it came to us by these chains. The rule setters from the scientific point of view are the scholars of Qur’anic sciences, such as Abu ‘Ubaid Al-Qasim bin Sallaam.

7. Its precept

Knowledge of tajweed is fardh kifayaah, meaning some of the Muslim community must know it, and its application is fardh ‘ain, required by all Muslims (men and women) who have the complete Qur’an or part of it memorized, even if only one surah.

8. Reasons for its rules

Guarding the Glorious Qur'an and preserving it from distortion. The Arabs mixed with non-Arabs after the spread of Islam, and the Muslims feared that the Arab tongue would become corrupted with this intermixing. It then became mandatory for rules to be put down that would preserve the recitation of the Qur’an from mistakes, and guarantee the reader of the Qur’an integrity of pronunciation.

9. Its principles

The knowledge of tajweed is contingent on four matters:

1. Knowledge of the articulation points of the letters

2. Knowledge of the characteristics of the letters

3. Knowledge of what rules change in the letters due to the order of letters

4. Exercising the tongue and a lot of repetition.
