Assalamualaykum semua :D

Alhamdulillah setelah lama tidak berusrah, ber network dgn rakan2 se agama dan duduk di majlis ilmu, kali ni dipertemukan dgn usrah anjuran JIM kat area ni.

Usrah malam ni ada 6 ahli baru..so semua ada 14 org. Usrah di mula kan dgn taaruf then kami solat isyak. Pastu Akhie Yus sbg naqib menerangkan mengapa kita perlu usrah.

Sepatut nya bkn usrah yg mencari kita tp kita mencari usrah. Manusia ni mudah ikut arus, mcm la air sungai. Kita amek contoh mudah, kalo sorang anak kecil bermain kereta lumba, akan nanti semua rakan2 nya pon akan ikut sama...sbb apa? sbb terpengaruh and mengikut arus. begitu juga kalo ada fesyen terkini, gaya terbaru...atau paling mudah isu Mawi. Oleh itu amat perlu utk kita mengikut arus islamiyah yg halal dan di redhai Allah....seharian kita berbicara bersama rakan2 mengenai duniawi, bola, gosip dan hiburan...bila kan masa nya kita berbicara mengenai agama kita? ini lah masa nya.

Usrah diteruskan dgn tadarus Al Quran. Kemudian Akhie Amir membentangkan buku mengenai sebab2 kejatuhan persatuan2 islam tulisan Yussof qardhawi. Sbb nya adalah
i) isu dalaman dlm persatuan - ketua lupa diri, pergaduhan, sesat, bangga diri. menceburkan dlm bidang2 yg tidak halal, ahli2 tidak warak
ii) pihak2 luar yg cuba menjatuhkan - cth kerajaan dan persatuan lain.

Kemudian ahli usrah bertukar2 pendapat mengenai Al Arqam dan Ikhwanul Muslimin sbg model persatuan Islam

Alhamdulillah. usrah huhahuha dah berakhir..kali kena btol2 serius. semoga hati ini sentiasa cekal dan di bawah hidayah Allah Taala.

namun begitu program usrah bkn shj duduk bersama berdiskusi tp usrah kami ni juga ada sessi belajar berenang hari jumaat kat PISA :D . then ada laa program lain2

sekian shj laporan dr kg halaman :D

Alhamdulillah kembali usrah setelah sunyi sekian lama
banyak aktiviti camar dan bukan camar
boleh dipanggil usrah kerana ada muafakat dan ada silaturrahim
tapi boleh juga tidak dipanggil usrah

Semalam menonton video
bukan berlibur tp mentadabur
kejadian arang batu, berapa lamakah ia boleh terjadi
jutaan tahun kah atau ribuan tahun
kah?
great flood.. adakah bukti-buktinya?

adakah benar dunia berevolusi?
apakah situasi sebenar creation?
adakah dunia dicipta atau hanya berevolusi daripada objek-objek lain?

please share your opinion..

" Everyone is looking for happiness and fun, and I am sure you are not excluded. Where is that happiness and fun though? And where and when do you want that happiness? Do you want happiness, do you want to have `fun' in this life at the expense of the hereafter? Or is it in the hereafter, when you meet Allah that you want to be happy?
Every where you go you shall find a swarm of people and media and culture swearing to you that happiness is the happiness of the Dunya. Is it really happiness though? On the day of Repayment, Allah shall take the most `happiest' kafir of the Dunya and dip him in Jahannam – Hellfire. Then he shall ask him, "Have you ever seen any happiness?" The Kafir will say, "Never!""
Nay, the happiness is only the happiness of the hereafter no matter what happens in this Dunya. Allah shall bring on the Day of Repayment the most tested human and dip him in Jannah – Paradise. He shall then ask him, "Have you ever seen sadness?" And that person shall say, "Never!"

Note:: Look around us. Does Dunya appeals most to us? Lets seek refuge in Allah, ask for His Guidance.

Mu’awiyah ibn Abu Sufyan (Radiyallahu 'anh) relates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) say: "It is the day of ‘Ashura. Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) has not made fasting obligatory for you. But I am fasting. He who likes to observe fast among you should do so, and he who likes not to observe it (does not have to) observe it." [Sahih Muslim]

Abu Qatada (Radiyallahu 'anh) relates that the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said that the fast on the 10th of Muharram atones for the sins of the preceding year. [Sahih Muslim]

Abu Huraira (Radiyallahu 'anh) reports that the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said that after Ramadan, the fasts of Muharram have the greatest excellence. [Sahih Muslim]

Alhamdulillah, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) has blessed us to see another year. The first month of this year is Muharram. In this month is an excellent day—the day of ‘Ashura—which falls on the 10th of Muharram. The Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) recommended that we fast on this day, by his Sunnah. He also indicated how we should observe the fast of ‘Ashura.

Hakam ibn Al-Arat (Radiyallahu 'anh) relates: I went to Ibn Abbas (Radiyallahu 'anh)… I said to him: Tell me about fasting on ‘Ashura. He said, "When you seen the new moon of Muharram count the (days) and (begin to) observe fast on the 9th." I said to him: "Is it how the Holy Messenger of Allah (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) observed the fast?" He said, "Yes." [Sahih Muslim]

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (Radiyallahu 'anh) relates that when the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said: "If I survive till next year, I will definitely observe fast on the 9th of Muharram (as well)." [Sahih Muslim]

(Note: What the Holy Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) meant was that he would also fast on the 9th as well as the 10th to which he was accustomed. We also should try fasting on the 9th and the 10th of Muharram.)

Fiqh Sunnah Volume 2, Page 15a: Al-Qunut in the Witr

It is part of sunnah to supplicate with qunut in the witr prayer during the entire year. Ahmad, at-Tirmizhi, an-Nasa'i, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and others record that al-Hassan ibn 'Ali said: "The Messenger of Allah taught me the [following] words to say in the witr prayer: 'O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided. Grant me safety among those whom You have granted safety. Take me into Your charge among those whom You have taken into Your charge. Bless me in what You have given me. Protect me from the evil that You have decreed, for You decree and nothing is decreed for You. And there is no humiliation for whom You take as a ward. Blessed and Exalted are You, our Lord. ' "

At-Tirmizhi grades this hadith as hasan, and says: "... nothing is known from the Prophet concerning qunut more authentic than that." Commenting on its status, an-Nawawi says that its chain is sahih. Ibn Hazm has some reservations about its soundness, but says: "This hadith, although it is not one that can be used as a proof, is all that we have from the Prophet, and a weak hadith is dearer to me than mere opinion." Ahmad says this is also the view of Abu Musa, Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn 'Abbas, al-Bara', Anas, al-Hassan al-Basri, 'Umar ibn 'Abdul'aziz, al-Thauri, Ibn al-Mubarak, and the Hanafi school. This, an-Nawawi says, gives credibility to the report.

Ash-Shaf'i and others are of the opinion that the qunut in the witr prayer should be made during the latter half of the month of Ramadan. This is based on what Abu Dawud records that, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab convoked the people in prayer, under the leadership of Ubayy ibn Ka'b, and they prayed together for twenty nights, and he did not make the qunut except for during the latter half of the month of Ramadan. It is moreover related that Muhammad ibn Nasr asked Sa'id ibn Jubair about the qunut in the witr prayer. Sa'id answered: " 'Umar sent an army that suffered serious setback, which caused 'Umar to be alarmed, so, when it was the latter half of Ramadan, he made the qunut to supplicate for them."
