~ Jumaat Terakhir~

Salam sayyidul ayyam guys..

Sangat cepat masa berlalu kan, dah nak habis tahun 2013. So camne, korang punya azam untuk tahun 2013 tercapai tak? Kalau dah teercapai jangan lupa untuk bersyukur sebab Allah dah makbulkan permintaan kita. Kalau ada yang masih belum tercapai tu, usaha dengan lebih gigih untuk dapatkannya pada tahun hadapan.

Memandangkan hari ini merupakan Hari Jumaat Terakhir dalam tahun 2013, aku nak share ngan korang sesuatu yang aku harap kita semua boleh amalkan Walaupun tak semua, tapi kita cuba slow-slow insyaAllah Allah akan tolong kita untuk melaksanakannya. Yang penting niat kena LillahiTaala...

1. Mandi Sunat

(Dari Ibnu Umar ra.), Sabda baginda SAW yang bermaksud :

“Apabila datang kepada kamu hari Jumaat, maka mandilah.”

(Riwayat Al-Bukhari dan Muslim).

2. Menghiaskan Diri

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud :

 “Sesiapa yang mandi pada hari Jumaat, memakai pakaiannya yang paling baik, memakai bauan yang ada di rumahnya, kemudian dia pergi untuk menunaikan solat Jumaat tanpa melangkah tengkuk orang lain, solat seperti mana yang telah ditetapkan untuknya, diam ketika imam keluar sehingga dia selesai menunaikan solatnya, maka semuanya itu akan menghapuskan segala dosa yang dilakukannya dalam tempoh di antara Jumaat tersebut dan Jumaat selepas itu.”

(Riwayat Ibnu Hibban dan Al-Hakim)

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud :

“Pakailah pakaian kamu yang berwarna putih. Sesungguhnya ia adalah pakaian kamu yang paling baik dan kafankanlah orang-orang yang telah meninggal dunia di kalangan kamu dengannya.”

3. Merapikan Diri.

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud :

“Lima perkara daripada fitrah iaitu berkhatan, mencukur bulu ari-ari, mencabut bulu ketiak, memotong kuku dan menggunting misai.”

(Riwayat Al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

4. Membaca Surah Al-Kahfi

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang bermaksud :

“Sesiapa yang membaca Surah al-Kahfi pada hari Jumaat, nescaya dia akan dikurniakan cahaya di antara kedua-dua Jumaat berkenaan.”
(Riwayat Al-Hakim dan Al-Baihaqi)

5. Perbanyakkan Doa

Sabda baginda yang bermaksud :

“Waktu mustajab berdoa itu ialah masa di antara imam duduk sehingga selesai solat.”
(Riwayat Muslim).

6. Berselawat

Sabda baginda yang bermaksud :

“Sesungguhnya hari kamu yang paling utama ialah hari Jumaat. Maka perbanyakkanlah selawat ke atas ku pada hari itu. Sesungguhnya selawat kamu akan dibentangkan di hadapanku.

Semoga kita semua beroleh manfaat dari apa yang Nabi Muhammad S.A.W tinggalkan untuk umatnya yang tersayang.

~RAMADHAN: Day 29~

Assalamualaikum...

Walaupun Ramadhan dah berlalu.. masih terasa rindu...
Hari tu tak sempat nak update on day 29..

so, tengah ad masa ni molek lah kiranya jika hamba updatekan...hihihi

Ramadhan Day 29: Did you have a good, awesome Ramadhan this year? :)

Muhasabah is to have an HONEST assessment of yourself. As mere humans, we should always find ways to improve ourselves in actions and words, so muhasabah is one way for a self-upgrade. Muslims are encouraged to do this noble act all the time, but for Ramadhan, it’s special.

So it’s the end of Ramadhan. Are you happy because it’s finally ending? Or are you sad because you haven’t done enough ibadaah?

Sit down, clear your mind and assess yourself of what you’ve done in Ramadhan.

- Did I read atleast one page of Quran every day?
- Did I manage to khatam (finish) the Quran before Syawal?
- Did I manage to keep my 5 prayers intact?
- Did I do any solattul sunnat?
- Did I manage to not utter bad, vulgar words and keep my mouth guarded?
- Did I manage to treat people with upmost kindness and love?
- Did I wake up and night and pray when everybody else is sleeping?
- Did I give sedekah to the needy?
- Did I spend my Ramadhan days with ibadaah and not wordly entertainment?
- Did I do a good job by doing terawikh prayers?

So on and so forth.

If you answered YES to most of the questions; May Allah accept your deeds and reward you limitlessly (Amin). And if you answered NO to most of the questions… perhaps you should make an effort to make your Ramadhan meaningful next year, insyallah.

"Truly he has succeeded who purifies it (soul). And truly, he has failed who defiles it" (91:9-10)

~RAMADHAN : Day 28~

Assalamualaikum....

Terasa sangat cepat masa berlalu.. Ramadhan dah nak tinggalkan kita. Tinggl hari ni ngan esok jek.. Harap 2 hari ni masih lagi di beri keberkatan...

Apa yang kita boleh belajar pada hari 28 ni??

It’s Eid! Muslims, rejoice! For Eid is celebration for the victorious ones (the ones who fasts during Ramadhan)!

We have these mixed feelings of sadness and joy. I’m extremely sadden by the fact that Ramadhan is leaving! The Devils would be out again, even smokers would be roaming out in the streets during the day… and the chance to obtain many “free” rewards given by Allah is ending soon!

But on the other hand, we're very much excited that it’s going to be Eid, because it’s one of the two greatest celebrations that is celebrated by Muslims! No doubt it’s the time for sillaturahim, yummy home cooked food and colours all around! (Did we mention home cooked food? And cookies? Omnomnom)

Although some are very fortunate to celebrate Eid in a blessed, happy mood, some might not be very unfortunate for many reasons. Even so, be strong, make loads of dua’ and remember Eid’ in your hearts! Allah will always be with you whenever you may be, insyallah.

Since most of our readers are Malaysians, we would like to touch on some Eid “rituals” that many locals tend to do… without realizing the true meaning of Eid. Sadly in Malaysia, many put culture ahead of religion, this abandoning the syariaah of Islam.

So here are some reminders on how to celebrate Eid – the Islamic way! We hope this will benefit us in some way or another.

1. Start your Eid by going to the mosque to do Eid prayers! Not only the dudes, even the ladies are COMMANDED to go to the mosque to join in the victory, even if you are in your menses!

“The Messenger of Allah commanded us to bring out on Eid-al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha, young women, hijab-observing adult women and the menstruating women. The menstruating women stayed out of actual Salaat but participated in good deeds and Dua’” (Muslim). So leave your cooking behind and pray solattul Eid!

2. To the ladies, if you’re planning to go to the mosque to pray (which is good!), We beg you, please do not any make up or perfume on! You are encouraged to wear the nicest clothes, but make-up and perfume in the mosque? You are there to please Allah, not to please the men!

3. Offering salams to others. Have you noticed how Malaysians like to go around, shaking hands with random people and say “Selamat Hari Raya!”? At most times, you don’t even know who the dudes you shook hands with! Fellow Muslims, remember that touching non-mahrams is HARAM in Islam, and you should avoid shaking hands with them! If they offer to shake hands with you, decline politely and if possible, educate them at the same time.

4. What do you usually get upon visiting people from houses to houses? FOOD! So this is to remind you to not waste food, and eat moderately. Plan ahead before scooping that yummy “rendang” in your plate to avoid unnecessary wastage.

5. Don’t forget your 5 daily prayers! Many tend to “forget” them with all the busy-ness of celebrating, so avoid that and keep your prayers in tact!

6. Last but not least, observe 6 days fasting after Ramadhan! The reward is aweeesome!

“Whoever fasts Ramadan, and then six days after Eid, it is [like fasting] an entire year. Whoever does a good deed shall have ten times its reward.” (Ibn Majah, Muntaqa)

So remember to keep your Eid as Islamic as possible, for it is a holy celebration and should not be tainted with cultural rituals. 




psssstt: seronoknya petang ni dah nak balik kampung.. Okey okey aku tahu korang semua dah memang tengah seronok buat kuih raya kat rumah kan.. xpe lah yang penting aku excited nak balik umah..

Aku semangat dengar lagu raya ni... Sob Sob.. mengalir air mata ku...

~RAMADHAN: Day 27 ~

 Assalamualaikum....

 2days to go before we end our Puasa...
Sedihnya dah nak abis ramadhan tahun ni...
harap masih diberi peluang untuk bertemu lagi ramadhan tahun hadapan

Ramadhan Day 27: More love-your-parents related OSM work! ♥

"Remember, to prove your love to your parents is not to score straight A's in your exams, or to be able to buy castles for them. They would need your du'a, and that is the best gift for you to give to your parents"

"Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor." (17:23).

Parents in Islam play a MAJOR role in Islam. In the Quran verse above, Allah has commanded every child to be kind to their parents Honouring parents can be considered as an ibadaah if the intention is to please Allah, the Al-Mighty.

Words alone fail to prove how awesome and beautiful parents are! Sure, they nag you or order you around against your own selfish principles or make you listen to stuff you don’t want to, but one cannot deny that they love and cherish you (after Allah and Prophet Muhammad pbuh)

True, righteous Muslim parents would want their kids to attain happy and successful lives in this world, but wanting their precious beings to succeed in the hearafter is MORE! Deep in their hearts, they want their children to enter Paradise with them So pray to Allah for our parents to enter Paradise, AMIN.

If you still have your parents around, consider yourself very lucky! Many children do not have the same privilege or opportunity to meet, grow or love their parents, for some may have passed away and gone to Allah.

To those who no longer have your parents around, do not be sad! Allah has promised that you will be with your parents and loved ones in Paradise. Continue making dua’ for them, for them to have their sins wiped and be granted Paradise.

In a hadith by Sahih Muslim, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught that three things continue to benefit a [believing] person even after death :

1. Charity which he had given (which continues to benefit others)
2. Beneficial knowledge which he had left behind (i.e. authored or taught)
3. Dua’ on his behalf by a righteous child

Remember, to prove your love to your parents is not to score straight A’s in your exams or to be able to buy castles for them. They would need your dua’, and that is the best gift for you to give to your parents

"My Lord, bestow on them Your mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." (17:24)
Amin 

 love u mom, dad...

~RAMADHAN : Day 26~

 Tak salah pun kalau kita doakan untuk kebaikan orang lain.. tak luak pon kan.. so why not kita start it.. lets guys...

~RAMADHAN : Day 25~

Day 25:

Ramadhan Day 25: Time to put Dunya away for a while and focus entirely on Allah :)

Iktikaf is a spiritual retreat at the mosque for a certain time, often done during the last 10 days of Ramadhan. “Spiritual retreat” here basically means taking a holiday from all those work, leisure and real life and focus on Allah and ibadaah only.

To do iktikaf, one should enter the mosque before Maghrib, and stay on after Subuh prayers. The goal is to TOTALLY focus on Allah! Mosques are sacred places, so it’s the best place for you to make loads of dua’s, make sunnat prayers, hear takzirahs, wirid, dhikir and NOT to socialize, play games or browse Facebook on your smart phones or SLEEP! If you want to sleep, you can always sleep at home!

There are many hadiths and words/opinions of many scholars regarding the places of iktikaf (too many references to add, try Googling tho!) but they have listed 3:

The top 3 mosques:
1. Masjidil Haram (Mecca), Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)’s Mosque (Madinah) and Masjidil Al-Aqsa (Jerusalem).
2. Any mosque other than the 3 listed above
3. Your own home

Either way, iktikaf is a holy form of ibadaah, and it should be done to solely please Allah and seek refuge of him.

"(The Prophet pbuh) used to perform i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan until Allah the Mighty and Majestic, took him.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

~RAMADHAN: Day 24~

Salam jumaat ya Sahabat...

Ramadhan Day 24: Will you find Lailatul Qadr, the night worth more than 1000 months? :

It's (less than) 10 days of Ramadhan - which means:
Lailatul Qad'r is here! OMG!  You must must MUST look forward to it! 

Lailatul Qad'r, or also known as The Night of Power is special than many other nights in our 365 calendar because:

- It's a ONE NIGHT spiritual bless! Yes, for ONE NIGHT ONLY
- It was the day when the Quran was sent down to us
- It's BETTER than a thousand months (that's like, longer than an average human life span!)
- It's EXCLUSIVE. It's only given to Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) ummah, namely us!

So put on your Jihad mode (Jihad for Allah, mind you), and find Lailatul Qad'r! Wake up from your sleep and do extra ibadaah! 

It's been said that Lailatul Qadar happens in the odd (nights) from the last ten (nights) of Ramadhan. So it's could be on the night of 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th. That's the closest clue we could get, so work hard for ALL nights! 

May Allah reward us with His limitless, bountiful blessings  

hari ni dah hari jumaat, malam 25.... May Allah bless.. N harap yang terbaik.... luv uolss

~RAMADHAN : day 23~

ASSALAMUALAIKUM.... SALAM RAMADHAN...

Ramadhan Day 23: Do taubah! Set a "date" with Allah - he is available 24/7! :)

So dear Muslim ladies and gents, when was the last time you had a private, one-one moment with Allah? Set a "date" with The Almighty, for He is available 24/7, all year round!

The most important one-on-one session is to seek repentance (taubah) from Him. We're bound to commit many sins for we are just mere humans, and there's nobody else that can forgive your sins other than Him, for He is Merciful.

"And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (73:20)

To seek repentance is easy. You don't need to do bungee jumping or sacrifice a fluffy animal. All you need to do is these simple steps:

1. Be completely HONEST and SINCERE
2. Realise your sins and regret doing so
3. VOW and make a promise to God and to yourself that you'll never repeat the same sins. Be strong with this!
4. Continuously do good

Not only Allah will forgive and wipe away your sins, in addition, he will TURN all the sins you've done to deeds! Masyallah!

To end this, I'd like to share this really wonderful Hadith by Bukhari with all of you. Let's continuously do taubah so that we'll be better Muslims, insyallah.

"The master of invocations for forgiveness is that the servant says:

O' my Allah! You are my Lord, there is no 'Allah but You. You created me, and I am your bondservant, and I will stick to my covenant and promise [of faith and sincere obedience] to You, as to my ability. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, I acknowledge, to You, your bounties upon me, and I acknowledge, to You, my sin. Thus forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.

Whoever says this as he enters upon evening, then, dies that night, he would enter Paradise; and if one says this as he enters upon morning, then, dies that day, he would enter Paradise."

 

 

 

wahh... dah 23Ramadahan.... nextweek dah raya...

 

 

 

~RAMADHAN : Day 22~

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh...

Ramadhan Day 22: Don't forget to pay you zakat! Upon giving your money (or bag of rice), one should make sure that you're doing it for Allah and with most humbleness, not for show-off purposes.

Zakah (or zakat) is not purely about giving money or basic necessities (rice, dates) to the poor and needy, but it's also for purification purposes! It purifies the hearts from greedy and selfishness.

Zakah Eid-Fitri is obligatory and it needs to be paid before the end of Ramadhan. The purpose of the collection of Zakah Eid-Fitri before Eid is to help the needy and the poor for their Eid preparation. Helping one another; ain't that beautiful? 

"My mercy encompasses all things, but I will specify it for the righteous who give Zakat" (7:156)

So to you righteous Muslims, I urge you to pay zakah before the end of Ramadhan. For Malaysians, you may find many many Zakah "counters" in mosques, shopping malls and even in bazaars!

Upon giving your money, one should make sure that you're doing it for Allah and with most humbleness, not for show-off purposes. Think about the happy needy people you're gonna help, and most importantly, think about the awesome rewards you're gonna get from Allah from your good deed! 

For further information on zakah Eid-Fitri, please refer to respectable scholars, or you can just simply Google it. Most Islamic websites on the net are trustworthy, insyallah. 

kalau kat perak Zakat untuk seorang, Rm 7.00
Kat tempat korang berapa???

~RAMADHAN : Day 21~

Ramadhan Day 21: So while the others are sleeping, make a point to wake up and do ibadah to Allah. Give your bed a chance to rest!

In today's society, we are so caught up with work and other worldly activities during the day, so it's normal for us humans to get a good sleep during night time.

BUT it's Ramadhan and it is ending as you blink, so no matter how tired or sleepy you are - WAKE UP and do ibadah during night time! Manage your time properly and insyallah you have no problem staying awake at night 

And as said by Prophet Muhammad s.a.w:
"Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's sky when there remains the final third of the night, and He says: Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it? Who is asking something of Me that I may give it him? Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?" (Bukhari, Muslim, Malik, Ar-Tarmidhee, Abu Dawud)

From the hadith above, we should know that Allah comes down on every last third of every night (about 2~4am) and He asks us for us to demand wishes from Allah!
So imagine this; if you were asleep in your comfy bed, you'd miss the chance of asking God to grant your wishes. Awwwwesome! 

So while the others are sleeping, make a point to wake up and do ibadah to Allah.  Give your bed a chance to rest!

~RAMADHAN : Day 20~

salam peeps...

wow!! wow!! wow!!!
tak sangka sangat sepat masa berlalu.. malam ni dah masuk fasa ketiga ramadhan.. iaitu fasa dimana pembebasan dari api neraka... freedom!

Dalam 10 malam terakhir juga, kita digalakkan untuk stay up.. macam kita selalu buat masa struggle time final exam dulu... camtu la juga kita applykan  utuk 10 malam terakhir ni.

Dah masuk speed zone.. Berusaha mecari malam Al-qadar, stay up means memperbanyakkan solat malam, tahajjud, qiamulail, iktikaf kat masjid. Kalau kita tak boleh buat semua, kita buat lah yang terbaik dan termampu.

Yang penting kita bersungguh-sungguh untuk mendapatkan redha dari Yang Maha Esa..


Okelah sedikit tazkirah ringkas dari ustazah Syazwani. Ehem..hehehe

okela.. actually ittew nak share about day 20 ni... meh meh kite bace same- same

Ramadhan Day 20: Maximize the last 10 days- Go for it! Remember to encourage your family members, friends and peers to do more good deeds! :)

There are 10 Ramadhan days left! If you haven't ditched that game you've been wasting on for the past 20 days; time for you to let it go and focus on the last 10 days! Woot!

So it's the last 10 days, what should we Muslims do?

Pray HARDER!
Make LONGER dua's!
Recite the Quran MORE and MORE!
Donate to the EXTREME!
Go to the mosque MORE!
Socialize LESS!

And most importantly;
Get your SINS completely WIPED OUT! Hi-yah!

In the last 10 days of Ramadhan, Muslims should seek the "Night of Power", or also known as "Lailatur Qadar" (we will go more in-depth about this later insyallah)

So stop wasting your precious, precious time and grab the opportunity! Wake your family members and friends, and invite them to increase their deen

jom jom jom!!!

~ RAMADHAN : DAY 19~

Happy Sunday guys…

Acane korang punya hari? Mestilah berehat sepanjang hari kat rumah kan.. Same lah ittew…

Tapi pagi tadi tolong mak cantas pokok bunga, tanam bunga baru.. Acecece semangat nak raya kan..

Oke Waney, STOP bubbling…

Now, I wanna share with u what to do on day 19,

Ramadhan Day 19: 

To love our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) is to know him and his characteristics, to read and know about the things he has done for Islam and us, the ummah...

And most importantly, is to implement his teachings and guidance (sunnah) in our daily lives.

:) May we see and meet him in Jannah, Ameen!

"It is He Who sends down manifest Ayat (signs, revelations) to His Slave Muhammad SAW that He may bring you out from darkness into light. And verily, Allah is to you full of kindness, Most Merciful" (57:9)

Honestly speaking, I get very, very emotional when it comes to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I was a jahil to realize the things he has done for his ummat (people), but it hit me when I started studying about him, Subhanallah! Since then I grew to love him more and more each minute.

And we Muslims should too! In fact, we should love him MORE than we love our parents, and even our halal partners.

To love Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, we should learn about him. And to only love is not enough, we should also practice the guidance and examples he has shown us

Studying about him would increase our deen, inshaAllah. Let's all be righteous Muslims and follow his guidance, and we will meet this great man in Paradise

~ RAMADHAN : DAY 14~

So... what we will learn on day 14??
Here these...

Ramadhan Day 14 - Share and Spread Knowledge!

Do you have any favourite surahs from the Quran? Or favourite hadith? Share the gems here with us! :)

RAMADHAN DAY 14~

Now that you've got your knowledge (refer to Day 13), whatchu gotta do? SHARE and SPREAD it around! Tell your family, your peers and the non-Muslims the wonderful beauties of Islam!

Muslims must realise that they should not only require knowledge, but they must spread the good dakwah around!
"Invite to the Way of your Lord (Islam) with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided." (16:125)

"Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining al-ma`roof [i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do] and forbidding al-Munkar [polytheism and disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden]. And it is they who are successful." (3:104)

"Amar ma'ruf nahi mungkar" is simply to tell others to do good and to stop others from doing bad.

There are many ways for modern Muslims to share and spread dakwah; why not utilize your smart phones, Facebook and the interwebz? Say you found a good video online; simply copy and paste the link on your Facebook status! Perhaps 1 out of 20 friends would actually click and watch it! Even if it's just one person, you have already reached a mission, which is to give dakwah

However, keep in mind that you need manners and the correct methods of doing dakwah. During my research, I found an interesting write-up on 12 ways to dakwah:
http://www.themodernreligion.com/dawah/dawah-12tips.html
Insyallah it will guide us to be a good dakwah-doer!

And remember, before giving dakwah make sure you acquire the right knowledge!

I wish you dakwah-doers ALL THE BEST! Let's share and spread Dakwah to the society, and insyallah it will remind us to be better Muslims too 

 footnote: share! share! share!... jangan kedekut ilmu taw...

~ RAMADHAN : DAY 15~

RAMADHAN DAY 15!

Ramadhan, WOOT! Ramadhan isn't the time for you to sleep and laze around like Patrick the starfish, but a fasting Muslim should be happy, active and positive!

Not having to eat and drink for a day, and even doing ibadaah and night prayers might be tiring, but it's not a reason for you to have that zombie look! Give people greetings and salaam, put that OSM smile your face and give fist bumps! Show to the society and the non-muslims that we fasting Muslims are too, with energy!

Sure, as mere humans, we deal with everyday problems. From heart wrecking worldly problems to mood swings; it's the matter of how we deal with them. If you are troubled and or in despair, think of Allah. Turn to him, tell him all your problems and your needs, and insyallah He will help you, for He is Almighty.

Back to being active and positiveness in Ramadhan; remember the Bad'r war during Prophet Muhammad s.a.w's time? He and his warriors fought victoriously during Ramadhan. It proves that even when one is fasting, you can go through day even if you're in a challenging situation.

So for the next remaining days of Ramadhan, stay happy, active and positive.

"Yes! Whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and he is the doer of good (to others) he has his reward from his Lord, and there is no fear for him nor shall he grieve.” (2:112)
