Do you sometimes feel your Imaan (faith) is getting weaker?

Sharing from someone that I know from Tajweed course....

Fwd: 😪 Do you sometimes feel your Imaan (faith) is getting weaker?

Do you feel when you pray you cannot concentrate, and lack in kushu? You don’t feel like praying or reading Qur’an? Or that when you do read Qur’an, you do so without concentration? Does this feeling really bother you and you're not sure what to do about it or how to snap out of it? And at times you find your Imaan stronger, you pray with kushu and you enjoy reading the Qur’an with focus and understanding, you do dhikr and you are so motivated and happy when you do any form of worship, but struggle to keep the ibadah consistent? well believe you me you're not alone!

We all go through these ups and downs phases. There are many reasons to that and once we know them we can help ourselves stay in the higher phase of Imaan most of the time. When you feel your Imaan is getting weaker make sure you do the following:

1. Go back and recall what you've been doing in the past few days, weeks? May be gossiped or watched too much T.V. and delayed your prayers or did not wake up to pray fajr or you are not giving sadaqa when you have the means to do so…etc. Every time you do something which Allah doesn’t approve of, your heart gets covered with a layer which thickens with time until it weakens your Imaan. Allah SWT says in the Quran: (Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn).

Find those reasons and start working on them.

2. Sit down peacefully and recall Allah’s blessings on you…..your health, your children, your education, your rizq, you being a Muslim, you being in a better situation than millions, you being in a safe home instead of the street, you being warm instead of cold, you being able to pay sadaqa, you not needing to beg others for rizq and many many blessings which Allah granted you and is granting you every single day. Imagine life without your loved ones, imagine life without your sight, imagine life with a serious disease, and imagine life without guidance and without Islam. This should help you appreciate and say #Alhamdulillah and see the nea’mah of Allah on you which will help you focus more and worship with appreciation.

3. Sit down and picture your death, lay down on the floor and close your eyes and imagine them preparing you for your Janazah, undressing you, moving you from one side to the other washing you and there is nothing you can do, you can’t even cover yourself and your awrah, they have to do that instead…. Completely helpless, the body you strived to cover all your life is being exposed. The clothes you are wearing which was once yours is not yours anymore and those shoes that used to be yours but is no longer yours anymore, ……nothing is yours any more. You left all your belongings at home, your family are still with you but as soon as they place you in the grave you are alone… alone with just your deeds, just your sadaqa, just your prayer, just your Dhikr. You moved from the phase of A'mal (work) and no hissab (Judgment) to the phase of hissab and no A'mal.

4. Wake up at night just 40 mins to one hour before fajr, it is the time when Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala comes to Sama’a Dunya (the first heavens) and calls as related in the following hadith and ayah of in Quran:

Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “Our Lord Descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: `Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?”[ Bukhari and Muslim.]

“And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you to a position of great glory.” [(Al-Isra’ 17:79]

SubhanAllah, so wake up and pray and talk to him, tell him how you feel…tell him ya Allah my heart is becoming so hard…..my Imaan is going down. Do Isthighfaar at that time so Allah can lift those layers which are weakening your Imaan, and you will be registered in sha Allah from those who do Qiyyamul Layl. Just few minutes earlier than the time you always wake up and you get tons of ajr and maghfirah. SubhanAllah how can we let such a golden opportunity go to waste, how can we waste that time in sleeping?

5. Search the net (YouTube is full of beautiful lectures from different Sheikhs) or better yet, find a book and read about Islam, Imaan, and Ihsaan, or anything that will help you scrap those hard layers from your heart. Don’t just sit and feel bad about it, strive to better yourself and Allah will always open a door for you. Imaan is like a mizan (scale) it increases and decreases based on our daily deeds. It’s a constant battle but if you follow these techniques you will always be the winner In sha Allah. Don’t listen to the Shaitaan when he comes to you and tells you: you have been bad, how can you dare ask Allah for anything, you have no right to do so….!!! That is his way to keep you away from Du’a and from Allah.

He plays with you the game of guilt so you stop talking to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'Ala and you stay away under the reason of guilt. Don’t give him a chance. Go back to Allah and ask him for what ever your heart desires.

May Allah guide us and keep us on the path of Imaan until we breath our last. Aameen Ya Rabb.

Please do share, so that it may benefit others. Especially in these days of Dhul Hijjah. JazakAllah khair 💗💗✨✨💞💞✨✨💞💞✨✨

There are certain times dua (supplication) is more likely to be accepted by Allah (SWT)

🌹There are certain times dua (supplication) is more likely to be accepted by Allah (SWT) as mentioned by Prophet (SAW). These times are as follows: 

1. The Last Third Of The Night 

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (SWT)) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; "Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?."'

 [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi] 

Amr ibn Absah narrated that the Prophet said: 'The closest any worshipper can be to His Lord is during the last part of the night, so if you can be amongst those who remember Allah at that time, then do so.'

[at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, al-Hakim - Sahih] 

 

2. Late at night 

When people are sleeping and busy with worldly pleasures Allah (SWT) gives the believers an opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep and invoke Allah (SWT) for whatever they need. The Prophet (SAW) said: 'There is at night an hour, no Muslim happens to be asking Allah any matter of this world or the Hereafter, except that he will be given it, and this (occurs) every night.'

[Muslim #757]

3. Between Adhan and Iqamah 

Anas (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqama is not rejected.' 

[Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)] 

 

4. An Hour On Friday 

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s Messenger (SAW) talked about Friday and said: 'There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will definitely meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (SAW) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands.

[Sahih al-Bukhari] 

Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer’s leader) enters the mosque on Friday’s prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs), whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib prayer). 

 

5. While Drinking Zamzam Water

Jaber (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'Zamzam water is for what it is drunk for.'

 [Ahmad 3: 357 and Ibn Majah #3062]. This means that when you drink Zamzam water you may ask Allah (SWT) for anything you like to gain or benefit from this water such as healing from illness.... etc. 

 

6. While Prostrating 

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW), said: 'The nearest a slave can be to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so invoke (supplicate) Allah (SWT) much in it. 

[Muslim, abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and others, Sahih al-Jami #1175] 

When a Muslim is in his Salat (prayer) he is facing Allah (SWT) and when he prostrates he is the nearest he can be to Allah (SWT) so it is best to invoke Allah (SWT) at this time. It is said that while in prostration, one should not ask for worldy needs (ie a nice car, a new job, etc), but for the Hereafter.

 

7. When Waking Up at Night 

Narrated Ubada Bin As-Samit that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'Whomever wakes up at night and says La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shrika lahu lahulmulku, wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa ala kulli shai'in qadir. Alhamdu lillahi, wa subhanallahi wa la ilaha illallahu, wallah akbir, wa la hawla wala quwata illa billah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (SWT) He is the only one who has no partners. His is the kingdom and all the praises are for Allah (SWT) All the glories are for Allah (SWT) And none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) is the most Great and there is neither might nor power except with Allah (SWT) and then says, Allahumma ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me) or invokes Allah (SWT), he will be responded to and if he makes ablution and performs Salat (prayer), his Salat (prayer) will be accepted. [Sahih al-Bukhari] 

 

8. At The End Of The Obligatory Salat: 

Narrated Abu Omamah (RA): that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) was asked, O Messenger of Allah, which supplication is heard (by Allah (SWT), he said the end of the night and at the end of the obligatory Salat (prayer) [at-Tirmidhi]. This time is after saying 'At-tahyat' , and before making Tasleem (finishing prayer) 

 

9. The Night Of 'Qadr' (Decree) 

This night is the greatest night of the year. This is the night which the almighty Allah (SWT) said about it, "The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a thousand months."

[Surah al-Qadr, 97: 3] 

The Night of Decree is one of the odd nights of the last ten nights of the blessed month of Ramadan. The angels descend down to the earth, and the earth is overwhelmed with peace and serenity until the break of dawn and when he doors of Paradise are opened, the worshipper is encouraged to turn to Allah to ask for his needs for this world and the Hereafter. 

 

10. During The Rain 

Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa'ad (RA): that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'Two will not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being called, and at the time of the rain'. 

[Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah] 

'Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls' [reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469]. The time of the rain is a time of mercy from Allah (SWT) so, one should take advantage of this time when Allah (SWT) is having mercy on His slaves. 

 

11. At the Adhan 

'Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls' [reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469] 

In another hadith; 'When the prayer is called, the doors of the skies are opened, and the du'a is answered'

[al-Tayalisi in his Musnad #2106, al-Sahihah #1413] 

 

12. The One Who Is Suffering Injustice and Opression

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to Mua'ad Ibn Jabal (RA), 'Beware of the supplication of the unjustly treated, because there is no shelter or veil between it (the supplication of the one who is suffering injustice) and Allah (SWT)' [Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 

The prophet (SAW) declared, 'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting person until he breaks his fast (in another narration, when he breaks fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.

'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan] 

In another hadith; The Prophet (SAW) declared: 'Three du'as are surely answered: The du'a of the oppressed, the du'a of the traveler, and the du'a of the father/mother (upon their child)'. The One who is suffering injustice is heard by Allah (SWT) when he invokes Allah (SWT) to retain his rights from the unjust one or oppressor. Allah (SWT) has sworn to help the one who is suffering from injustice sooner or later as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said. 

 

13. The Traveler

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler.

 [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih] 

During travel supplication is heard by Allah (SWT) if the trip is for a good reason, but if the trip is for a bad intention or to perform illegal things (making sins) this will not apply to it. 

 

14. The Parent's Supplication for their Child 

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler.

 [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih] 

 

15. Dua after praising Allah and giving salat on the Prophet (SAW) in the tashahhud at the end of salat.

Narrated Faddalah ibn Ubayd (RA): that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'When anyone of you makes du'a, let him start by glorifying his Lord and praising Him, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet (SAW), then let him pray for whatever he wants'

[abu Dawud #1481, at-Tirmidhi #3477]

In another hadith; Baqiy ibn Mukhallid (RA) narrated that that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'Every du'a is not responded to until one sends blessings upon the Prophet (SAW)' .

[al-Bayhaqi]

In another hadith; Umar (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said: 'Du'a is detained between the heavens and the earth and no part of it is taken up until you send blessings upon your Prophet (SAW)' 

[at-Tirmidhi #486] 

After a person has finished his tashahhud and before saying the 'salam', supplication at this time is one likely to be responded to.

Ibn Mas'ud narrates: I was once praying, and the Prophet (SAW), Abu Bakr and Umar (were all present). When I sat down (in the final tashahhud), I praised Allah, then sent salams on the Prophet, then started praying for myself. At this, the Prophet (SAW) said:

'Ask, and you shall be given it! Ask, and you shall be given it!' [at-Tirmidhi #593 - hasan, Mishkat al-Misbah #931] 

 

16. The dua of a Muslim for his absent brother or sister Muslim stemming from the heart.

17. Dua on the Day of Arafat 

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'The best supplication is the supplication on the day of Arafat'.  .

[at-Tirmidhi and Malik] 

The day of Arafat is the essence and pinnacle of Hajj. On this great and momentous day, millions of worshippers gather together on one plain, from every corner of the world, with only one purpose in mind - to respone to the call of their Creator. During this auspicious day, Allah does not refuse the requests of His worshippers. 

 

18. Dua during the month of Ramadan 

Ramadan is month full of many blessings, thus the du'a of Ramadan is a blessed one. This can be inferred from the Prophet (SAW) saying: 'When Ramadan comes, the Doors of Mercy (another narration says Paradise) are opened, and the doors of Hell are closed, and the Shaitans are locked up' Thus, it is clear that du'a during Ramadan has a greater chance of being accepted, as the Gates of Paradise and Mercy are opened.

 [Sahih al-Bukhari #1899, Muslim #1079 and others] 

 

19. Dua when the Armies meet

When the Muslim is facing the enemy in battle, at this critical period, the du'a of a worshipper is accepted.

Sahl ibn Sa'd (RA) narrtaed the the Prophet (SAW) said: 'Two duas are never rejected, or rarely rejected: the du'a during the call for prayer, and the du'a during the clamity when the two armies attack each other'

 [Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah, al-Hakim]

20. When Muslims gather for the purpose of invoking and remembering Allah

(Dhikrullah).

23. At Midnight

[at-Tirmidhi - Hasan] 

 

25. Dua of people after the death of a person 

In a long hadith, Umm Salamah (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said, when Abu Salamah had just passed away, and had closed his eyes, 'Do not ask for yourselves anything but good, for the angels will say 'Ameen' to all that you ask for. O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, and raise his ranks among those who are guided.' 

[Muslim, abu Dawud, Ahmad] 

 

26. Dua of the one fasting until he breaks his fast. 

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler.

 [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih] 

 

27. Dua of the one fasting at the time of breaking fast

The prophet (SAW) declared, 'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: when a fasting person breaks fast (in another narration, the fasting person until he breaks his fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.'

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3:36 #472] 

 

31. Dua immediately after wudu

Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported that the Prophet (SAW) said: 'There is not one of you that makes wudu, and does it perfectly, then says: I testify that there is no diety worthy of worship except Allah. he is Alone, having no partners. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger', except that the eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, and he can enter into it through whichever one he pleases'

The stoning of the small Shaitan (jamrat sugra), or the middle Shaitan (jamrat wusta) pillars during Hajj. It is narrated that the Prophet (SAW) would stone the small Jamarah (one of the three pillars that is stoned in the last days of Hajj), then face the qiblah, raise his hands, and make du'a for a long time. He would then stone the middle Jamarah and do the same. When he stoned the large Jamarah, he would depart without making any du'a.

 [Sahih al-Bukhari #1753 and others] 

 

33. At the Crowing of a Rooster

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said: 'When you hear a rooster crowing, then ask Allah for His bounties, for it has seen an angel, and when you hear a donkey braying, then seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, for it has seen a Shaitan' [Sahih al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad, Sahih al-Jami #611] 

 

34. Du'a made inside the Ka'bah

The Ka'bah is a sanctuary that has no comparison in the entire world. The du'a of one who prays inside the hijr is considered as being made inside the ka'bah, as it is part of the house (Baitullah). [This is the semicircle to the right of the Ka'bah if you face the door, opposite to the Yemeni corner and the Black stone wall.] 

Usamah ibn Zayd narrated, 'When the Prophet (SAW) entered the House (Ka'bah), he made du'a in all of its corners [Muslim 2: 968 and others]

And when he (the servant) says: The Most Compassionate, the Merciful, Allah the Most High says: My servant has lauded Me. When he (the servant) says: Master of the Day of Judgment, He remarks: My servant has glorified Me, and sometimes He will say: My servant entrusted (his affairs) to Me. When he (the worshipper) says: Thee do we worship and of Thee do we ask help, He (Allah) says: This is between Me and My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for. Then, when he (the worshipper) says: Guide us to the straight path, the path of those to whom Thou hast been Gracious -- not of those who have incurred Thy displeasure, nor of those who have gone astray, He (Allah) says: This is for My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks for. [Muslim 4: 395]

[at-Tirmidhi, abu Dawud]

Perkongsian Pagi ini..

Rasullullah SAW, Abu Bakar, Umar, dan Utsman datang bertamu ke rumah Ali. Di sana mereka dijamu oleh Fatimah, putri Rasulullah sekaligus isteri Ali bin Abi Thalib karramallahu wajhah. Fathimah menghidangkan untuk mereka semangkuk madu. Ketika mangkuk itu diletakkan, sehelai rambut jatuh melayang dekat mereka. Rasulullah saw segera meminta para sahabatnya untuk membuat tamsilan atau perbandingan terhadap ketiga benda tersebut, iaitu mangkuk yang cantik, madu, dan sehelai rambut. 

- Abu Bakar yang mendapat giliran pertama segera berkata, “Iman itu lebih cantik dari mangkuk yang cantik ini. Orang yang beriman itu lebih manis dari madu, dan mempertahankan iman itu lebih susah dari meniti sehelai rambut.” Rasulullah saw tersenyum, lalu beliau menyuruh Umar untuk mengungkapkan kata-katanya pula.

- Umar segera berkata, “Kerajaan itu lebih cantik dari mangkuk yang cantik ini. Rajanya lebih manis dari madu, dan memerintah dengan adil itu lebih sulit dari meniti sehelai rambut.” Rasulullah kembali tersenyum, lalu berpaling kepada Utsman RA seraya mempersilakannya untuk membuat perbandingan tiga benda di hadapan mereka. 

- Utsman berkata, “Ilmu itu lebih cantik dari mangkuk yang cantik ini. Orang yang menuntut ilmu itu lebih manis dari madu, dan beramal dengan ilmu yang dimiliki itu lebih sulit dari meniti sehelai rambut.” Seperti semula, Rasulullah kembali tersenyum kagum mendengar perumpamaan yang disebutkan para sahabatnya. Beliau pun segera mempersilakan Ali bin Abi Thalib untuk mengungkapkan kata-katanya. 

- Ali berkata, “Tamu itu lebih cantik dari mangkuk yang cantik ini. Menjamu tamu itu lebih manis dari madu, dan membuat tamu senang sampai kembali pulang ke rumahnya adalah lebih sulit dari meniti sehelai rambut.” Masyaa Allah, maka Rasulullah segera mempersilakan Fatimah anaknya pula untuk membuat perbandingan tiga benda di hadapan mereka. 

- Fathimah berkata, “Seorang wanita itu lebih cantik dari sebuah mangkuk yang cantik. Wanita yang mengenakan purdah itu lebih manis dari madu, dan mendapatkan seorang wanita yang tak pernah dilihat orang lain kecuali muhrimnya lebih sulit dari meniti sehelai rambut.” Setelah mendengarkan perumpamaan dari anak, menantu dan para sahabatnya. Rasulullah pula berkata.

- kata Rasulullah SAW, “Seorang yang mendapat taufiq untuk beramal lebih cantik dari mangkuk yang cantik ini. Beramal dengan perbuatan baik itu, lebih manis dari madu, dan berbuat amal dengan ikhlas, lebih sulit dari meniti sehelai rambut.” Masyaa Allah.

- Allah Ta'ala, pun membuat perumpamaan kepada Rasullullah saw firman-Nya dalam hadits Qudsi, “Syurga-Ku itu lebih cantik dari mangkuk yang cantik itu. Nikmat syurga-Ku itu lebih manis dari madu, dan jalan menuju syurga-Ku lebih sulit dari meniti sehelai rambut.” Subhanallah.. Semoga bermanfaat..

Are we earning to pay builders and interior designers, caterers and decorators?  

Whom do we want to impress with our highly inflated house properties & fat weddings?

Do you remember for more than two days what you ate at someone's marriage? 

Why are we working like dogs in our prime years of life?

How many generations do we want to feed?

How much is the "need" and how much do we actually "want"?? 

Think about it.

Would our next generation be incapable to earn, that we save so much for them!?!   

Do not judge a person only by the length of the cars..

It is not bad to be rich, but it is very unfair, to be only rich.

Let's get a LIFE, before life gets us, instead....

The 

A lovely little girl was holding two apples with both hands.

Her mum came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile; my sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?

The girl looked up at her mum for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.

The mum felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.

Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mum,and said: mummy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.

No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement.  

Give others the privilege to explain themselves.    

                            

What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.

Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.

Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.

Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.

Those who apologizes first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.

Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.

Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.

Those who take out time to chat with you, does not mean they are jobless or less busy, but they know the importance of keeping in touch.

One day, all of us will get  separated  from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had. 

Days will pass by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare... One day our children will see our pictures and ask 'Who are these people?' And we will smile with invisible tears  because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: 'IT WAS THEM THAT I HAD THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE WITH'.

Send this to all your friends that you will never forget.

PERINGATAN UNTUK DIRI INI...

Mayat orang Islam yg x sembahyang pada 1000 tahun dulu masih diseksa sehingga kini. Korang percaya x? Allahuakbar! 1 waktu kita tinggalkan solat bersamaan 8000 tahun seksaan neraka. Jika kita sehari 5 waktu x solat? 5 x 8000=40 000 tahun. Subhanallah ringan ringankan lah tangan korang untuk share bende ni. Dapat pahala mengingatkan saudara Islam yang lain. Malaikat maut datang melawat kita sebanyak 70 kali setiap hari :') Bila2 masa ja malaikat boleh tarik nyawa kita . Sebarkan agar umat Islam tahu ! Ustaz kazim elias :HARI KIAMAT BERLAKU APABILA SUDAH TIADA LAGI MANUSIA YANG MENYEBUT ALLAH DAN MENGINGATINYA . SEBARKANLAH IA DIKIRA SEDEKAH. Al-qur'an akan musnah - ka'bah akan rata dengan tanah - sangkakala akan ditiup 2kali. Nabi Muhammad S.A.W telah bersabda : " Barang siapa yang mengingatkan ini kepada orang lain, akan ku buatkan tempat di syurga baginya pada hari penghakiman kelak "...

This is one of the most beautiful and amazing advice by the great scholar Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah):

"A friend will not (literally) share your struggles, and a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf. So look after yourself, protect yourself, nurture yourself and don't give life's events more than what they are really worth. Know for certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination. Your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility. Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious. If your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high and if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won't harm you. 

Do not carry the worries of this life because this is for Allah. And do not carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah. And do not carry the anxiety for the future because it is in the Hands of Allah.

Carry one thing: How to Please Allah. Because if you please Him, He Pleases you, fulfils you and enriches you. 

Do not weep from a life that made your heart weep. Just say, "Oh Allah compensate me with good in this life and the hereafter."

Sadness departs with a Sajdah. Happiness comes with a sincere Du'a. Allah Does Not forget the good you do. nor Does He Forget the good you did to others and the pain you relieved them from. Nor Will He Forget the eye which was about to cry but you made it laugh.

Live your life with this principle: Be good even if you don't receive good, not because for other's sake but because Allah Loves those who do good."

عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال أتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رجل فقال يا رسول الله أي الدعاء أفضل قال سل ربك العفو والعافية في الدنيا والآخرة ثم أتاه في اليوم الثاني فقال يا رسول الله أي الدعاء أفضل قال سل ربك العفو والعافية في الدنيا والآخرة ثم أتاه في اليوم الثالث فقال يا نبي الله أي الدعاء أفضل قال سل ربك العفو والعافية في الدنيا والآخرة فإذا أعطيت العفو والعافية في الدنيا والآخرة فقد أفلحت

Maksud hadis :- Daripada Anas bin Malik r.a berkata; "Seorang lelaki telah datang kepada Nabi saw lalu bertanya; "Wahai Rasulullah, do`a apa yang paling afdal (utama)?. "Baginda saw menjawab: "pohonlah pada Rabbmu (Allah saw) keampunan dan kesejahteraan di dunia dan akhirat." Kemudian datang lagi di hari yang kedua, dan bertanya; "Wahai Rasulullah, do`a apa yang paling utama?." Baginda saw menjawab: "pohonlah pada Rabbmu (Allah swt)  keampunan dan kesejahteraan di dunia dan akhirat." Kemudian datang lagi di hari yang ketiga, dan bertanya; "Wahai Nabi Allah, do`a apa yang paling utama?." Baginda saw menjawab: "pohonlah pada Rabbmu (Allah swt) keampunan dan kesejahteraan di dunia dan akhirat, dan jika kamu telah diberi keampunan dan kesejahteraan di dunia dan akhirat, maka kamu telah beruntung." (Ibnu Majah 3848, Ahmad 11882). Wallahu a'lam.. Semoga bermunafaat

10 Mutiara hidup di angkat malaikat Jibril

Rasulullah saw bertanya satu soalan kepada Jibril a.s,  "Wahai Jibril as.. Adakah kau akan turun ke bumi lagi setelah aku tiada nanti?" "Masih lagi Ya Rasulullah... ku turun ke bumi utk mengambil 10 Mutiara hidup peninggalan mu...

Lalu Baginda s.a.w. bertanya kembali; “Mutiara apakah yang kau akan ambil?

Jibril a.s. menjawab:

 (الأَوَّلُ) أَرْفَعُ البَرَكَةَ مِنَ الأَرْضِا”

1) Mutiara Pertama yang akan ku ambil dari muka bumi ini adalah BAROKAH.

 ( وَالثََّانىِ) أَرْفَعُ المَحَبَّةَ مِنْ قُلُوْبِ الخَلْقِ

2) Mutiara Kedua yang akan ku ambil dari bumi adalah RASA CINTA DARI HATI MANUSIA.

 (وَالثََّالِثُ) أَرْفَعُ الشُّفْقَةَ مِنْ قُلُوْبِ الأَقاَرِبِ

3) Mutiara Ketiga yang akan ku ambil dari bumi ini adalah SARA KASIH SAYANG DI ANTARA KELUARGA: iaitu rasa kasih sayang antara keluarga semakin menipis.

 (وَالرَّابِعُ) أَرْفَعُ العَدْلَ مِنَ الأُمَراَءِ

4) Mutiara ke Empat yang akan diambil oleh Jibril dari bumi ini adalah KEADILAN DI HATI PEMIMPIN.

 (وَالخاَمِسُ) أَرْفَعُ الحَياَءَ مِنَ النِّساَءِ

5) Mutiara Kelima yang akan ku ambil dari bumi ini adalah RASA MALU DARI WANITA-WANITA.

 

 (وَالسَّادِسُ) أَرْفَعُ الصَّبْرَ مِنَ الفُقَراَءِ

6) Mutiara Ke Enam yang akan ku ambil dari bumi adalah RASA SABAR ORANG-ORANG FAKIR.

 (وَالسَّابِعُ) أَرْفَعُ الوَرَعَ وَالزُهْدَ مِنَ اْلعُلَماَءِ

 7) Mutiara Ketujuh yang akan ku ambil dari bumi adalah WARA DAN ZUHUD dari para ulama. Maksud Wara' adalah cukup berhati-hati menjaga diri dari yang syuhbat dan yang haram, sedangkan zuhud itu tidak mementingkan harta-dunia, kedua-duanya merupakan ciri seorang ulama. Jika wara' dan zuhud telah hilang dari ulama maka nilai jati dirinya terjejas.

 (وَالثََّامِنُ) أَرْفَعُ السَّخاَءَ مِنَ الأَغْنِياَءِ

8) Mutiara Kelapan yang akan ku ambil dari bumi adalah DERMAWANNYA ORANG-ORANG KAYA.

 (وَالتَّاسِعُ) أَرْفَعُ القُرْآنَ

9) Mutiara Kesembilan yang akan ku ambil dari bumi adalah MENGANGKAT AL-QURAN. Orang sudah tidak rasa pentingnya lagi AlQuran.

 (العاَشِرُ) أَرْفَعُ الإِيْماَنَ

10) Dan yang terakhir, mutiara yang akan ku ambil dari bumi adalah IMAN. Ini adalah mutiara paling berharga diantara sembilan mutiara-mutiara yang lainnya.

Wallahu a'lam.. Semoga bermunafaat kepada kita semua utk bermuhasabah petang ini...
