Daily Hadith Day 29: Retiring to a Mosque for Remembrance of Allah (I'tikaf) 29th Ramadan 1430 (19th September 2009)

Retiring to a Mosque for Remembrance of Allah (I'tikaf) - 29th Ramadan 1430
(19th September 2009)

Narrated Ali bin Al-Husain (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):

Safiya, the wife of the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) told me that
she went to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) to visit him in
the mosque while he was in Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. She had
a talk with him for a while, then she got up in order to return home. The
Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) accompanied her. When they reached
the gate of the mosque, opposite the door of Um-Salama, two Ansari men were
passing by and they greeted Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam).
He told them: Do not run away! And said, "She is (my wife) Safiya bint
Huyai." Both of them said, "Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of any evil) O
Allah's Apostle!" And they felt it. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) said (to them), "Satan reaches everywhere in the human body as
blood reaches in it, (everywhere in one's body). I was afraid lest Satan
might insert an evil thought in your minds."

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to practice Itikaf (in
the mosque) in the middle third of Ramadan and after passing the twenty
nights he used to go back to his house on the 21st, and the people who were
in Itikaf with him also used to go back to their houses. Once in Ramadan,
in which he practiced Itikaf, he established the night prayers at the night
in which he used to return home, and then he addressed the people and
ordered them whatever Allah wished him to order and said, "I used to
practice Itikaf for these ten days (i.e. the middle 3rd but now I intend to
stay in Itikaf for the last ten days (of the month); so whoever was in
Itikaf with me should stay at his place of seclusion. I have verily been
shown (the date of) this Night (of Qadr) but I have forgotten it. So search
for it in the odd nights of the last ten days (of this month). I also saw
myself (in the dream) prostrating in mud and water." On the night of the
21st, the sky was covered with clouds and it rained, and the rain-water
started leaking through the roof of the mosque at the praying place of the
Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). I saw with my own eyes the Prophet

leaving with his face covered with mud and water.

Narrated Abu Juhaifa (Radi-Allahu 'anhum):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) made a bond of brotherhood
between Salman and Abu Ad-Darda.' Salman paid a visit to Abu Ad-Darda' and
found Um Ad-Darda' dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in
that state. She replied, "Your brother Abu Ad-Darda' is not interested in
(the luxuries of) this world." In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda' came and
prepared a meal for Salman. Salman requested Abu Ad-Darda' to eat (with
him), but Abu Ad-Darda' said, "I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not going
to eat unless you eat." So, Abu Ad-Darda' ate(with Salman). When it was
night and (a part of the night passed), Abu Ad-Darda' got up (to offer the
night prayer), but Salman told him to sleep and Abu Ad-Darda' slept. After
sometime Abu Ad-Darda' again got up but Salman told him to sleep. When it
was the last hours of the night, Salman told him to get up then, and both
of them offered the prayer. Salman told Abu Ad-Darda', "Your Lord has a
right on you, your soul has a right on you, and your family has a right on
you; so you should give the rights of all those who has a right on you."
Abu Ad-Darda' came to the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and
narrated the whole story. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said,
"Salman has spoken the truth."

Tazkirah Ramadan Nuzul Quran: Read Quran, The Last Testament

READ QURAN THE LAST TESTAMENT

Petikan dr buku Dasar-Dasar Islam – Abul A’la Al Maududi

.....Tidakkah masih ada kaum Muslimin yang menundukkan kepala di hadapan manusia, di hadapan selain daripada Allah? Bukankah mereka lebih takut kepada kekuatan-kekuatan orang lain? Bukankah mereka masih bergantung pada pertolongan orang lain? Bukankah mereka masih menganggap oang lain sebagai pemberi rezeki mereka? Bukankah mereka masih mengetepikankan hukum Allah dan dengan senang hati mengikuti hukum buatan manusia? Bukankah mereka yang mengaku sebagai Muslimin, masih menyatakan dengan terang-terangan di hadapan pengadilan bahawa mereka tidak mengikuti syari'at Islam, melainkan hukum adat dan kebiasaan yang berlaku di dalam masyarakat? Bukankah di antara kamu masih banyak orang-orang yang tidak ragu-ragu melanggar hukum Allah semata-mata hanya untuk mengejar keuntungan dunia? Bukankah di antara kamu masih banyak yang takut pada kemarahan orang-orang kafir tetapi tidak takut pada kemurkaan Allah? Bukankah di antara kamu masih banyak yang mahu bekerja bersusah-payah demi untuk mengambil hati orang-orang kafir, tetapi enggan berbuat apa-apa untuk meraih redha Allah? Dan ternyata di antara anda kamu masih banyak yang menganggap bahawa pemerintahan kafir adalah pemerintahan yang sah dan lupa pada pemerintahan Allah?....

Bunyi familiar??

Dimana letaknya Al-Quran di dalam diri masing-masing??

“(Bukan demikian) sebenarnya telah datang keterangan-keterangan-Ku kepadamu lalu kamu mendustakannya dan kamu menyombongkan diri dan adalah kamu termasuk orang-orang yang kafir".” Al Zumar 39:59

“Dan sesungguhnya Al Qur'an itu benar-benar suatu pelajaran bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa. Dan sesungguhnya kami benar-benar mengetahui bahawa di antara kamu ada orang yang mendustakan (nya). Dan sesungguhnya Al Qur'an itu benar-benar menjadi penyesalan bagi orang-orang kafir (di akhirat). Dan sesungguhnya Al Qur'an itu benar-benar kebenaran yang diyakini. Maka bertasbihlah dengan (menyebut) nama Tuhan-mu Yang Maha Besar.“ Al Haqqah 69: 48-52

Hidup kita ni mmg banyak distractions..cuma kita nak sedar atau tidak saje... jgn lalai dgn perkara2 yg Allah sebutkan spt di bawah...

Firman Allah:

“Dijadikan indah pada (pandangan) manusia kecintaan kepada apa-apa yang diingini, yaitu: wanita-wanita, anak-anak, harta yang banyak dari jenis emas, perak, kuda pilihan, binatang-binatang ternak dan sawah ladang. Itulah kesenangan hidup di dunia dan di sisi Allah-lah tempat kembali yang baik (surga).” Al Imran 3:13

“Dan sekali-kali bukanlah harta dan bukan (pula) anak-anak kamu yang mendekatkan kamu kepada Kami sedikit pun; tetapi orang-orang yang beriman dan mengerjakan amal-amal saleh, mereka itulah yang memperoleh balasan yang berlipat ganda disebabkan apa yang telah mereka kerjakan; dan mereka aman sentosa di tempat-tempat yang tinggi (dalam surga).” Al Saba 34:36

“Hai orang-orang yang beriman, janganlah harta-hartamu dan anak-anakmu melalaikan kamu dari mengingat Allah. Barang siapa yang membuat demikian maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang rugi.” Al Munafiqqun 63:9

“Hai orang-orang yang beriman, sesungguhnya di antara istri-istrimu dan anak-anakmu ada yang menjadi musuh bagimu, maka berhati-hatilah kamu terhadap mereka; dan jika kamu memaafkan dan tidak memarahi serta mengampuni (mereka) maka sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.” Al Taghabun 64:14

Kenal orang-orang yang Allah gambarkan ni??

“Bacalah kitabmu, cukuplah dirimu sendiri pada waktu ini sebagai penghisab terhadapmu." Al Isra 17:14

“Dan apabila dibacakan Al Qur'an, maka dengarkanlah baik-baik, dan perhatikanlah dengan tenang agar kamu mendapat rahmat.” Al-A’raf 7:204

Wallahu’alam

Tazkirah Ramadan: Sedekah berbuka pahalanya besar

Ibn ‘Abaas berkata, “Rasulullah adalah orang yang paling banyak bersedekah dan baginda memperbanyakkan sedekah di bulan ramadhan iaitu bulan di mana Jibrael bertemu baginda setiap malam dari awal hingga akhir Ramadhan.” (alBukhari). Sabda Rasulullah SAW “Barangsiapa yang memberi makan (berbuka) untuk orang yang berpuasa ia akan mendapat pahala yang sama banyaknya dengan pahala puasa orang yang diberi makan itu, tanpa mengurangkan sedikitpun pahala orang itu. ”. Riwayat (at-Tirmidzi)

IBNU Abbas meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi Muhammad bersabda yang bermaksud: “Apabila datang hari pertama Ramadan, maka bertiuplah angin 'Al-Mutsiiratu' dari Arsy dan menggerakkan daun pohon syurga hingga terdengar sayup-sayup suara merdu yang tidak pernah terdengar oleh sesiapa pun. "Bidadari melihat dan mendengar ke arah sayup-sayup suara merdu itu sambil berkata: “Ya Allah, jadikan kami pada bulan ini (Ramadan) sebagai isteri hamba-hamba- Mu. Maka Allah mengahwinkan hamba-Nya yang berpuasa pada bulan Ramadan dengan bidadari cantik.”

Ini adalah salah satu cebisan kebaikan dan ketinggian Ramadan yang sedang dilalui umat Islam.

Kita harus bersyukur kerana dapat berada dalam Ramadan al-Mubarak, iaitu bulan awalnya rahmat, pertengahannya pengampunan dan akhirnya merdeka (terlepas) daripada api neraka.

Dalam hadis lain yang diriwayatkan oleh Bukhari dan Muslim daripada Abu Hurairah, Rasulullah bersabda yang bermaksud: “Barang siapa menahan tidur serta beramal pada Ramadan dengan beriman bersungguh-sungguh akan kelebihannya serta ikhlas semata-mata kerana Allah, nescaya diampuni segala dosanya yang lalu.”

Bulan Ramadan mempunyai lima keistimewaan yang tidak ada pada bulan yang lain, iaitu puasa selama sebulan, Lailatul Qadar, zakat fitrah, Nuzul Quran dan amal kebajikan.

Salman Al Farisi meriwayatkan: “Dalam sebuah hadis panjang, Rasulullah berkhutbah di hadapan kami pada akhir bulan Syaaban. Baginda berpesan yang bermaksud: “Wahai umat manusia, sesungguhnya kami naungi bulan yang mulia lagi diberkati kerana Ramadan itu adalah bulan kesabaran dan sabar itu balasannya adalah syurga. Ramadan juga adalah bulan yang padanya ditambah Allah rezeki orang mukmin.“Barang siapa yang memberi makan kepada orang yang berbuka puasa pada bulan ini, adalah baginya pahala seperti memerdekakan seorang hamba dan dosa-dosanya pula diampunkan.”

Kueh seri muka, lepat pisang, jala emas, putu mayam and definitely the famous porridge, bubur lambuk.

Are some tasty delicacies available throughout the month of Ramadan.

The month of Ramadan does sound like it is a sombre month, it is also a celebration of many things. flippin' for murtabak

Observed by Muslims throughout the world, Ramadan is when Muslims abstain from eating, drinking and indulging in excessive or ill-natured conduct, from dawn to dusk. It teaches one patience, perseverance and reflections of spirituality.

The Ramadan month, too, brings with it much flavours.
In Malaysia, Ramadan is greeted with a riot of colourful and tasty foods.

Every state in Malaysia will have several designated places where stalls selling various delicacies and drinks for buka puasa (breaking of fast). These sites are commonly known as Bazaar Ramadan.

Spoilt for choice, visitors to the Bazaar will be surprised at the wide variety of foods on offer. Try these mouth-watering dishes

Usually, stalls open as early as 4 pm, when sellers start bringing in their wares. There are stalls selling fruits, drinks, foods and it will be a hive of activity with sellers arranging their foods, some grilling fish, with the smoke blowing gently in your eyes.

The thirst-quenching ABC (air batu campur or syrupy ice shavings, with nuts, corn etc.), cincau (jellied drink), tasty soya bean drink, cooling sugar cane, are some of the selections of drinks sold at the bazaar. Yummy grilled fish

Sometimes, especially on a hungry stomach (!) it is difficult to make choices of what to eat and drink for buka puasa. One wants to buy everything. It is such a great temptation with so much wonderful foods!

The best part about Bazaar Ramadan is everyone takes the time to see the sights and breathe in the delicious, tempting smells. There are a lot of choices, and most everyone living nearby a Bazaar Ramadan takes the opportunity to visit the place.

Sallam) that if any of them was fasting and the food was presented (for
breaking his fast), but he slept before eating, he would not eat that night
and the following day till sunset.

Qais bin Sirma-al-Ansari was fasting and came to his wife at the time of
Iftar (breaking one's fast) and asked her whether she had anything to eat.
She replied, "No, but I would go and bring some for you." He used to do
hard work during the day, so he was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. When
his wife came and saw him, she said, "Disappointment for you." When it was
midday on the following day, he fainted and the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi
Wa Sallam) was informed about the whole matter and the following verses
were revealed: "You are permitted To go to your wives (for sexual relation)
At the night of fasting." So, they were overjoyed by it. And then Allah

you Distinct from the black thread (of the night)." (2.187)
