Ramadhan Mubarak. A path toward Allah. There is no limitation and no precise word that could describe the secret and wisdom behind it. It is an extra-ordinary path. Ramadhan is all about Allah’s love and mercy. To all the visitors to this humble blog, please do forgive any mistakes that have been made by the owner of this site. BarakAllahulakum.

On behalf of one of my uhkt’s  that has asked me in the email on how is the pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding their children in facing the obligatory of fasting during Ramadhan and I will shortly post the answer it here. Actually the discussions among the Syafie scholars was so length but inshaAllah i will only post the rajih opinions. Based on the few kitab’s of Mazhab As-Syafie’s such as, Mughni Muhtaj, Kifayatul Al-Akhyar, Tadkirah, Matan Abi Suja’ and other’s respected kutub’s as well.

I just received an email from my good friend in Turkey ( who has been graduated from here also ) which remind me of Bediuuzzman Said Nursi our very own distinguished scholar. In previous days before she went back, we will casually discussing together about Bediuzzaman Said Nursi particularly during Ramadhan. She indeed always has an amusing story about Said Nursi. Mainly because it is related to the fact that her relatives has been working with Said Nursi at his late days. At the same time also, a Turkish friend of mine who are still here has decided to make a book exhibition of Risale-i Nur Collection in IIUM ITD Foyer for about ten days. Starting from 7th January until 19th January 2008. She has promised me to email the draft of the advertisement poster yet I still did not receive one. We just meet a couple of days ago and  discussed together about Bediuzzman Said Nursi which is an occasion that I missed so much since Albazrah has left to Penang to work there. Here I indicated  some quote from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. I loved everything that has been written by this noble scholar and appreciated his legacy as a true gift from God. For those who is in IIUM and interested to know more about Said Nursi can take this chance to take a peek at the books exhibition. She told me that the books which has been displayed there can be considered cheap comparing to the actual prices. So, why not grab this chance and show your love toward Ulama’ Amilin!.

Quran 3.103 And hold fast, all together, by the rope which God (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude God’s favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth God make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.

Humaira’ and Umar two of my younger siblings posing on the first day of Eidulfitri in front of nenek’s house in Melaka. Humara’ seems gloomy because she kind of afraid with the photographer whom she rarely meet. On the other hand, Umar as usual was smiling broadly with his new baju melayu.

Minal ‘Aaidin Wal Faaiziin Wal Maqbulin. Kullu ‘Amm Wa Antum Bikhair Wa IllAllahi Aqrabu Wa Ila Too’atillahi Adwamu InshAllah. Eid Mubarak to all my dear visitors and sahabah. Please do forgive me if there is any unpleasent outcome of this minisite and any shortcoming coming from me Maaf Zahir Batin. TaqobbalAllahuminna Wa Minkum inshAllah. Amin. Please do pray that we will continue our good deeds, consciousness of Allah, and worshipping Him sincerly in an ever-increasing state of ihsan  by only looking for Him.

May Allah shower us with His love and blessing continuously and grant us as His ‘Ibadussolihin and Muttaqien. Hopefully inshAllah may the spirit of Ramadhan will continue to blossom in our soul and heart and keeping on controlling our an-nafs. Amin.

A very nice poem by our little brother.

EID UL FITR
By Obaid Ahmed, 8 years

Now that we fasted and did extra good deeds,
We celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the two Eids!

Allah prescribed two Eids and forbid all other festivals,
He told us to worship Him and try to get the medals!

Ramadan is a special training for a Muslim,
Practice Islam even when its light appears to be dim.

Continue doing good deeds, just as in Ramadan
And give Sadaqa-e-Fitr, for every child, woman and man

We go to the Eid-gah and say the Takbir,
On Eid day, our best clothes we do wear!

We listen to the Eid khutbah,
And don’t leave until we pray the Eid salah!

We go to the Eid prayer in any type of weather,
And give presents to each other!

We say Eid Mubarak,
And wish each other good luck!

We celebrate festival of Eid
By thanking Allah for granting us our need!

Aku melihat sekeliling, Ramadhan yang kian melambaikan salamnya buat hati kian pedih. Aku melihat diriku sendiri ke dalam diri sendiri. Betapa diri yang berdosa lagi hina dina ini belum puas bermesra dengan Ramadhan. Kerinduaan pun belum terubat. Dosaku harap terampuni. Rindu bertemu Rab tidak terkira lagi. Engkau ya Allah yang aku sembah. Bukan 1000 malam ku cari, andai diperolehi ianya hadiah dariMu. Namun Engkau ya Allah, Kekasih yang selalu aku tinggalkan kerana mengekori nafsuku yang menipu diri. Engkau ya Allah yang aku rindukan.

Ya Allah, Kurniakan aku hikmah dan rahsia Ramadhan. Hingga hanya ratib padaMu  dalam hati, fikiran, derap langkah, degup kalbu dan desah nafasku. Hingga Aku melihat Engkau tidak melihat diriku. Hingga aku menginginkan kasihMu bukan senangku. Hingga Engkau sahaja dalam hidupku. Tidak layak pun aku, ingin ku kejar walau letai diri.

Under the Distant Skies

We Pray whole heartedly

To Allah Almighty 

For Us

To Embrace the Beauty of Ramadhan

Tightly

Full heartedly

Truthfully

Strongly

Until the  String of our Soul 

Within

Is

All The Love Encounter

In This Universe 

Your Love

Allah 

Ramadhan Kareem  

Esok dia bakal pergi. Hati ini akan walang rindu lagi. Bukan kepalang. Namun ini hakikat. Daerah ini bukan daerah kekal. Daerah ini daerah memendam cinta. Agar janji bakal terlunasi bersama. Agar rindu terlerai di daerah cinta. Tiada lagi wajah manis yang bakal bercerita bersama. Tentang Turki dan segala yang ada dalamnya. Tiada lagi paksaan mencicipi teh panas sambil menikmati keju masam yang menyihatkan. Tiada lagi. Yang tinggal hanya tepu janji yang bisu. Dia bakal pergi menyusuri langkah teman yang dahulu pergi. Ramadhan akan datang, tiada diksi mereka lagi. Oh, tahun ini menempa sejarah terpisah sekujur tubuh namun bersatu minda, ruh dan hati. Yang tinggal hanya janji. Juga doa. Ikatan itu tidak pada pertemuan hari-hari, namun doa itu saksi dan bukti. Esok, dia bakal pergi.

Ya Allah,

Jika  zarah maknawiah

Punya lapisan daqiq

Punya rahsia ma’rifah

Ada qalb

Ada sudur

Ada latifah

Ada siir

Ada ruh

Semuanya berpusu merebut cinta

Paling istiwewa

Paling agung

Tidak mahu aku berkongsi cinta satu itu

Ya Rab! MasyAllah.

Let have some a simple poem to translate all the advices we are giving you everyday. Well, we really didn’t want you to become like those boys and girls in the street. Hanging out here and there. Pity them as they didn’t know what the purpose of their life. What we really want for you is to become the future scholars, leaders ( So Bush you can take a rest now), mujahid’s and most of all become a real person who really know Allah. Beside, bear in mind you guys; Both Syabab and Fatayat’s , we loved you so and cared very much for you. Therefore, do not waste it. Because it is not an easy you know, to give the most sacred feeling to naughty fellows like you=). Here, take a peek at it!.

Gangster Youth

Author: Unknown

It saddens me,
When I see brothers and sisters being gangster wannabe’s

Not praying like they should,
Hanging on street corners in the hood,

Fighting over gang turf,
Like something outta the smurfs,

Hanging out like thugz,
Drinking alcohol and taking drugs,

Tryna be like 50 cents,
But on the last day he aint gonna be worth 50 pence,

Even when its Ramadan,
They don’t give two about islam,

They’d rather live there twisted ideologies,
But on the last day there won’t be time for apologies,

They tryna be the next best thing,
But listen carefully to my linguistic sting,

Islam aint just for Fridays,
If you think that prepare to be set ablaze,

So keep hold of your imaan,
And follow the Islamic clan,

The reward in the hereafter is gonna be greater,
So keep Islamic, coz we all gonna die sooner or later,

Don’t kid yourself into thinking your still young,
Indeed this is the shaytaans tongue,

Take heed of the quran and sunnah,
And islam will take you to jannah,

Now sadly I must end,
But, contemplate the words I spoke my friend

Khilaf madzmum atau mamduh?

Bukanlah niat bagi setiap individu pencinta kebenaran untuk berdebat dalam perkara-perkara yang tidak sepatutnya dan merugikan Ummah. Ya, kita tahu isu apa yang bermain di dunia sekarang. Isu Al-Aqsa dan macam-macam lagi.

Hajj Akbar! Hajj Akbar for this year..

LabbaikAllahumma Labbaik Labbaika Lasyarika Lakalabbaik Innal Hamda Wani’mata LaWalmulk Lasyarikalah

AlBazrah wrote:

May Allah help your difficulties swept away. Do you know the key of that? It is shifting from multiplicity to the oneness. From kathrah to Wahdah. So as Nursi says: “Know the only One, the other knowledges have no benefit; see the only One, the other seeings are not worthy of being seen. Yes, there is only One who knows the source of our problems. There is only One who could solve all the problems. There is only One who is able to give health. There is only One and so on. Please go through Wahdah deeply. And you will see that the problem is your real solution, and the difficulty is your real ease and your sickness is the real health for you.”

O MasyAllah. Such a lovely phrase..

Indeed, this is the moments as one of the kiramul al-yaum. Ayyamil Wuquf in ‘Arafah. Allahuakbar! Those chosen people to be there, to see baytullahilharam is a very lucky people! To be able to pray in Masjidil Haram, Masjid An-Nabawi and ziarah maqamun Nabiyyuna Sollallahualaihiwassalam whom we missed so much, as long ziarah all other places in Land of Haramain is just a bliss. A real bliss. Allah..Allah

Really a walk to remember in our life. A walk to Allah; Towards HIS unconditional love and blessing. SubhanAllah. Can we find other love which are greater than ALLAH bless and love? NO. There is no competent here. Forever. None. Even from our loved ones; parents, husbands or wives, children’s, friends etc. There is no others. Period.

A walk to remember. Yes. Fully with blessing from Ar-Rahman for those who sincerely searching for HIM and asking for his pleasure and maghfirah. A walk to Allah. To find the meaning of becoming his servant. To search a real purpose of our life. To reveal our own selves….To know  better of our own selves as  ibadullah and khalifatullah. A real sacred journey of purification.

To know that world means nothing, love and fear Allah means everything.

Key to everthing.

To feel  and embark everything which leads to HIM. There, in Haramain is ke main place for it. Backhome, we become a better Muslims. That the sign of acceptence from Allah. Hajj Mabrur. A truly succes.

The below article is a good resemblence of month Zulhijjah by Akhina Aljoofre.  A good peice

Layalin ‘Asyr

Allah Ta’ala berfirman di dalam Surah Al-Fajr, ayat 1-2 yang lebih kurang ertinya:

“Demi waktu Fajar, dan malam yang sepuluh”

Para Ulamak berselisih pada tafsiran ayat di atas. Al-Imam Assuyuthi di dalam Tafsirnya mengatakan Al-Fajr di daam ayat tersebut membawa erti setiap pagi secara mutlak. Sesetengah ulamak pula mengatakan, pagi hari pertama Zulhijjah, ada yang mengatakan pagi 9 Zulhijjah (Hari Arafah) dan ada yang mengatakan ia memberi isyarat kepada pagi 10 Zulhijjah.

Malam yang sepuluh atau Walayalin Asyr di dalam ayat yang kedua pula mempunyai tiga tafsiran. Sesetengah Ulamak mengatakannya sepuluh malam terakhir Ramadhan. Tafsiran kedua, ia adalah sepuluh malam pertama bulan Muharram. Tasfiran yang ketiga dan masyhur seperti dipersetujui oleh Imam Suyuthi, yang dimaksudkan di sini adalah sepuluh malam pertama bulan Zulhijjah. Pendapat ini juga disebutkan oleh Al-Hafiz Ibn Nasiriddin Addimasyqi As-Syafie.

Sebahagian ulamak salafussoleh menyebutkan, terdapat 3 himpunan sepuluh hari yang dimuliakan oleh Allah iaitu, 10 hari terakhir bulan Ramadhan, 10 hari pertama bulan Zulhijjah dan 10 hari pertama bulan Muharram. Sebahagian ulamak mengatakan, antara ketiga-tiga himpunan tersebut, 10 hari pertama bulan Zulhijjah adalah yang paling mulia, kerana padanya terdapat Hari Tarwiah (8 Zulhijjah), Hari Arafah (9 Zulhijjah) dan Hari Nahr (10 Zulhijjah), selain ia merupakan penutup kepada Asyhurum Ma’lumat (bulan-bulan yang dimaklumkan untuk melakukan ibadah Haji).

Selain itu, fadilat bulan Zulhijjah ini sebagai salah satu bulan Haram yang mulia tidak perlu disebutkan lagi di sini dan umum patut sudah mengetahuinya.

Oleh itu, wahai saudaraku sekalian, rebutlah peluang untuk mengecas semula bateri keimanan kita yang kian pudar, dan menggarap sepenuhnya peluang yang diberikan oleh Allah yang Maha Pemurah kepada hamba-Nya dengan memuliakan hari-hari ini. Marilah kita memperbanyakkan lagi amal ibadat kita secara umum dan mempertingkatkan lagi kualiti ibadah yang sedia ada.

Ulamak Salafussoleh juga menganjurkan kita memperbanyakkan bacaan-bacaan di bawah sepanjang 10 hari pertama bulan Zulhijjah. (Maaf, ada masalah pada Arabic Font, jadi perlu ditransliterasikan ke rumi)

La Ilaha Illallah ‘adadad duhur
La Ilaha Illallah ‘adada amwajil buhur
La Ilaha Illallah ‘adadan nabati wassyajar
La Ilaha Illallah ‘adadal qutri walmator
La Ilaha Illallah ‘adada lamhil ‘uyun
La Ilaha Illallah khairum mimma yajma’un
La Ilaha Illallah min yaumina hadza ila yaumi nufikha fis sur

Ana sebutkan tujuh zikir sahaja daripada banyak lagi zikir yang dianjurkan, kerana tujuh zikir di atas adalah yang paling masyhur dan disepakati oleh para salafussoleh. Untuk mendapatkan lagi zikir yang lain rujuklah kepada tok-tok guru yang mulia.

Usah dilayan pula mereka yang ditimpa “Mental Block” sehingga mengatakan amalan ini bid’ah yang haram dan sebagainya. Biarkan sahaja mereka dengan khayalan mereka. KIta teruskan beribadat mengikut sunnah dan memperbanyakkan zikir, moga ditenangkan hati-hati kita oleh Allah dengan mengingati-Nya. Semoga kita diberi kemudahan oleh Allah untuk merebut peluang yang diberikan pada 10 hari pertama bulan Zulhijjah ini. Amiin.

* This is not based on a novel by Nicholas Spark “A Walk to Remember”. Tough his novel is anticipating in some ways by most of peoples who love to believe there is still exist everlasting love in this hectic world between two people, but the TRUTH (for those who are searching for true love) is everlasting love still only with Allah. Just swept away our hesitation or confusion to reveal the true love by accepting (and acknowledge it by obligating all of Allah’s al-amr wa an-nahyu) that other than Allah’s love is the tajaalliyat of HIS sifah; Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim thus he honored those feelings to HIS creatures. For those who merely thirst for Allah’s love and pleasure the requirement to live with other’s as an element of  ubudiyyah and to fulfill it; wholeheartedly with  responsible as a sign of full obedience to Allah. Nevertheless, those loves did not mean anything. Merely  a responsible thus we obey. Allahua’lam.

Eid Mubarak!

Muslim-wife from Florida prayed:-

“Wishing my Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam a joyous and blessed ‘Eid, and forget not our honorable Mujahideen and the weak, oppressed and poor brothers and sisters in your du’as.”

( I really want to touch  and elobrate a little bit about fitnatun nisa’ in this world. Later mybe inshAllah. Woman in everthing they do could cause fitnah; word, gestures, voice, including almost everything. Either from bad causes or good causes. Thefore, beware of fitnatun Nisa’ for those searching for Allah’s love and fear Allah most. For man and woman let us be a fearing God people. How do we want to avoid from those fitnah? InshAllah, later. Formost may Allah save us from fall into the hole of fitnah twice. Amin)
