Niat Pernikahan

Imam Shiekh Ali bin Abi Bakar As -Sakran r.a. berkata tentang sebaik baik NIAT bila berhajat untuk melakukan pernikahan yang di galakkan untuk mereka yang inginkan balasan baik dari ALLAH TA'ALA...

"Aku niat dalam pernikahan dan perkahwinan ini kerana cinta kepada ALLAH Ta'ala serta berusaha meramaikan anak untuk mengekalkan mahkluk manusia di muka bumi Allah Ta'ala dan niat cinta pada Rasullulah s.a.w. serta memperbanyakan kebanggaannya, sebagaimana sabda Baginda s.a.w." Barangsiapa kamu serta perbankyakan keturunan kerana sesungguhnya aku bangga dengan banyaknya kamu daripada umat yang terdahulu"

" Aku berniat berkahwin dan apa sahaja yang berkaitan dengannya dari perkataan dan perbuatan agar mendapat barakat daripada doa anak yang solih dan meminta syafaat dari anak yang mati kecil jika anak itu mati sebelumku. Aku niat berkahwin ini agar terhidnar dari godaan syaitan, memecahkan keinginan yang sangat kuat, menghindarkan malapetaka yang menimpa, memejam mata dari segala hal yang di haramkan oleh ALLAH Ta'ala serta gangguan was was  dan aku berniat juga menjaga kemaluanku dari perbuatan yang di keji"

"Aku niat berkahwin ini untuk menenangkan diri dengan memgembirakan pasangan (suami/isteri) di dalam pergaulan dengannya memandang dan juga cumbuan cumbuan dengan nya, aku berniat juga untuk menyenangkan hati dan menambahkan ketaqwaan dalam ibadah, juga berniat mententeramkan hati ketaqwaan dalam ibadah, juga berniat mententeramkan hati dari perkara yang berkait dengan dapur, dari memasak, mengemas, menyapu, menghamparkan tikar, membasuh punggin mangkuk serta menyediakan keperluan kehidupan. aku beniat bernikah juga untuk melawan hawa nafsu dan melatihkan nya dengan penjagaan, pengawasan supaya dapat melaksanakan kewajipan keluarga, sabar rerhadap tingkah laku, sabar dan menahan diri dari gangguan mereka berusuaha mencari rezeki yang halal untuk keluarga serta berniat melaksanakan perintah Allah ta'ala dalam mendidik anak serta meminta kekuatan dan penjagaan dari NYA dan memohon taufiq NYA dan penyerahan diri kepada hadrat illahi dan aku berniat untuk kesemua yang di sebut tadi kerana ALLAH ta'ala. Aku berniat juga seperti ini dan juga selainny adari perbuatan dan perkataan yang aku lakukan dan katakan didalam nikah ini kerana Allah ta'ala serta aku berniat seperti niat orang orang yang salih dan ulama yang mengamalkan ilmunya.

Saying Thank you...or NOT...

We are often encouraged to help others when they have come to you for assistance. Even better if your initiation to help (anyone) is not derived from their request, meaning it was initiated solely out of your own wish and self intended drive to extend a hand. 


However, if ever in such a scenario, kindly be advised that you execute your angelic virtues without any expectation for return of gratitude. 
..WHY?


Well, I think because you will more often than not be disappointed when you expect appreciation from mortals. 
They just don't do that anymore these days. Its sad really but this is the unfortunate situation of present day human values. 


So...in order to protect our fragile hearts just go one along with attending your good intentions without any expectations from mortal gratitude. Just leave the rewards from the DIVINENESS. HE will fix your pay back. After all, believe me, it is a much sweeter feeling of satisfaction when you do it this way....do it for no mortal gratitude.Simply roll out your effort of assistance out of sheer sincerity of the heart.


We are often troubled by the present society's lack of manners in dispersing gratitude. Sadly, most of them take it for granted that it is their right. They often walk away without feeling of guilt of this snobbish behaviour.


I often wonder why is it so difficult for some people to even utter a two syllable expression..."THANK YOU"
If two is too much, then that same expression can be conveyed with just ONE syllable...."THANKS!"


Some often simply make it a lip service with no soul behind the utterance....its as dry a a granola without milk!




For this reason, one should never expect it when rolling out efforts for other...just let it be...if they say it, good for them, if they don't say it...don't let it eat you up! Its not your lost, infact you gain more from the DIVINE rewards for your effort and you gain also for the "feel-good" factor to help other.


Having said this....on our part...DONT be like them...DO say your thanks when you are rendered any kindly assistance because to be thankful is to be THANKFUL and GRATEFUL to HIM.


ALLAH BLESS US ALL!

Hijab...there's more to it than just a cloth covering!

This is dedicated to my wife and my only daughter who shall one day be faced with similar life challenges. I hope this sharing can guide you and replace my yet to be arranged personal face to face “teaching” of this subject matter to both of you. 

In the event of the unfortunate passing of myself without yet a personal "passing" of this knowledge to you, please use this as a reference and may ALLAH swt accept my effort as ibadah and duty over the two important women of my life.

HIJAB-…is a word often misunderstood by many local women (and men too) to just mean “bertudung.”  And even further misconceived is that it is a piece of cloth that covers the head of a female Muslim. Hijab is actually derived from the Arabic word “ha-ja-ba”…yang membawa makna bertudung, tutup, untuk tabir atau lindung.

This is where the error begins and because of this misconceived understanding that has caused great “sins” by Muslim ladies…May ALLAH protect you both from such error and dosa, Ameen

Hijab actually has deep syariat purposes which is beyond just material covering. It has 2 main segments

1-    External Hijab – material covering with cloth, kain atau pakaian.

2-    Internal Hijab  – bersifat takwa dan malu.

Lets take a look into several reference/notes of the AL-QURAN and HADIS.

The fundamental concept of hijab is mentioned is so many places in the QURAN. It goes beyond just “covering”...and is closely knitted with the element of bertudung kerana mengajak seseorang itu bertaqwa. It relates to the calling for Muslims untuk beramal soleh dan menjauhi amal mungkar. What is very clear and generally opinionated by most ulama' is - the hijab in QURAN is NOT just ONLY in the reference to material covering of bertudung dan berjubah. Its is also about the internal covering...which actually makes the main content/purpose of berhijab!

Surah An Nurr -31 makes is very clear about the elementary practices of hijab dan the purpose for it being CALLED by ALLAH swt over those hamba hamba NYA yang mengaku diri mereka beriman….mustahak sekali dalam surah ini yang secara simple nye, mengajak dan menyeru wanita wanita ISLAM menjaga AHLAK mulia dan kehormatan diri.

Hadis Abu Daud ada meriwayatkan bahawa Aisyah r.a. ada menceritakan bagaimana Rasullulah mengajar tentang apa itu aurat seorang wanita ISLAM. In summary, the aurat of a MUSLIM women, as told by our Prophet - must be covering of her whole body except her face and the palms of her hands. It was further described that Muslim women should cover their chest (prevent the sight of the shape of her breast), the back and the front of her neck. For those that do not do as that is above prescribed, "exempt them selves from pleasures of jannah…and incur the wrath of the DIVINE"....yakni mengundang kemurkaan ALLAH swt dan seterusnye mencacatkan barakah dalam segala usaha.

It is also mentioned in the Quran and described by HADIS of Al Qurtubi that the flaunting of shapely parts of the women’s body is HARAM….menunjuk bentuk badan is haram!

Famous Islamic clergy and renown scholar, Sheikh Wahbah Al- Zuhaili (whom I had the opportunity and honor meeting during my trip to SYRIA in 2001 with Ustaz Hafiz) also declared (in his lectures and books) that Muslim women are forbidden to display their shapely natural assets even if it is cover.

Please remember that ALLAH created women to be the companion of men on this earth. They were blessed with attractive and alluring features. Before there was ISLAM, the women folk were often taken advantage of because of their weak physical strength. ISLAM gave honor to women and when it came, most Arab women used the “jilbab” as a “kad pengenalan” that they are now "liberated" from slavery, ataupun sudah merdeka. 

Jadi, pada zaman dulu, bila wanita berjilbab, mereka tidak mudah di ganggu oleh lelaki Arab yang buas (menggatal). Wanita yang tidak berjilbab pula (pada waktu itu) sering di ingatkan sebagai masih hamba abdi dan tidak ber”TUAN”, so they became frequent targets of lustful men.

Zaman sekarang ini, kalau kita lihat, bila seorang wanita yang pada mula nya tidak bertudung, tapi kemudian nye dia bertudung, dia di lihat dengan mulia atas sangkaaan baik yang dia telah mendapat “hidayah” dan ini adalah permulaan untuk mendekati ALLAH. Maka dengan sebab itu, mereka mendapat penghormatan diri dan di muliakan. (Although one can argue until the cows come home about some women _these days - who wear hijab behaving like munafiq, and unfortunately there are plenty of these at the moment, but that’s not the point here)

Maka apabila seorang yang sudah berumah tangga dan di bawah jagaan suami…peradapan berhijab (secara betul) melambangkan kesucian wanita itu dan akhlak diri nya sendiri dalam pendirian dan hubungan nya dengan agama ALLAH – ISLAM.

Another reference to HADIS Rasulullah ada menyembut…

“Wanita itu adalah aurat…maka apabila dia keluar rumah, syaitan menggunggulkan nye (menbuatkan dia nama jelita – bagi menyesatkan umat Nabi)”

There are many other hadis that relates to the chapters pertaining to aurat and this one was related by Abu Hurairah r.a…which mentions that Rasullallah bersabda:

"Ada dua golongan ahli neraka yang beliau khabarkan…iaitu seorang penguasa yang kejam, yang memukul (torture) orang dalam penguasaan nya dan yang kedua adalah wanita wanita yang berpakaian tetapi telanjang yang cenderung kepada perbuatan maksiat dan mengajak manusia lain membuat maksiat dengan kecendurungan itu (yakni dengan penampilan mereka itu) ….mereka ini bukan saja tidak akan masuk syurga malah tidak akan dapat bau keharuman syurga."

Dalam kesimpulan hadis ini, ada menyebut jenis jenis wanita ini termasuk mereka yang menutup sebahagian tetapi mendedahkan sebahagian yang lain untuk menarik perhatian kepada diri nya….dan juga mereka yang berpakaian nipis sampai ianye menampakan warna kulit nye…dan lain lain (sila kaji)

The problem today is that ramai yang sudah silap anggap tentang concept hijab. A narrowed view of hijab to mean “material covering” is completely misguided and out of the ISLAMIC purpose as defined in QURAN and HADIS. Its concept encompasses the external and internal covering designed to elevate the honor of MUSLIM women as oppose to the misguided western thinking of taking women back to the dark ages…or often being labeled as – OLD FASHION!

It is also an important initial steps towards attaining proximity to ALLAH swt and the cleansing of the QALB. Observance of this virtue for MUSLIMATS are much encourage to attain DIVINE Blessings. 

The Syaitan is winning in his attempt to trick many modern women with the false believe that….”I-have-tudung-therefore-I-have-fulfilled-the-requirment-of-hijab”…. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS LINE OF THINKING - my dear wife and daughter.

Actually, there are more to share than what is presented here but I hope at least this will ignite our senses about our responsibilities to HIM. Due to my lack of knowledge on the subject matter I therefore cannot possibly be the best teacher but as a person conscious of his own shortfalls and accountable for that own shortfalls in duty, I shudder to think IF that I have not attempted any efforts to execute my role as as HUSBAND and FATHER with this PERINGATAN!…

I sincerely hope this reminder to both of you to fulfill your own duties for the sake of our AGAMA, ALLAH receives DIVINE Blessings and most importantly semoga kamu berdua terselamat dari di tipu syaitan.

I do not mean to be righteous about the ISLAMIC teaching over you for I am consciously aware of my own inadequacies and poor implementation of my own duties as his ummah let alone as a HUSBAND and FATHER…but it should not prevent me from reminding you both anyway.

Marilah kita teruskan usaha untuk sentiasa muhasabah diri untuk memperbaiki dan mengubati penyakit hati yang ada kepada setiap insan.

InsyaALLAH....perjalanan kita untuk mendekati diri kepada YA KHALIQ berkesudahan dengan baik...AMEEN

The Satanic Cult Behind the Music Industry...

Salaam My Dear Ellenar Family...

As already made known and quite clear to all of you, the music produced by the west is destructive to the soul. Their agenda is completely antithesis to the teaching of Islam, so please be careful with your following of their music. 

I urge you to remain within the genre of our QASIDAH and Islamic lyrics music and do not get influence by the "growth and progress" of NEW MUSIC. Please also learn to identify the music that your friends are following because, chances are they DO NOT know what they are following.

These series of videos were not produced by Muslims or Muslim groups but the message it contains is clear and synonymous to my call for caution --- MUSIC INDUSTRY is a TOOL of the DEVIL to corrupt your "travel" towards HIM...

May ALLAH continue to Bless you all...
