INDAHNYA KEMATIAN

INDAHNYA KEMATIAN

MATI itu pasti menjemput manusia!
Nabi Muhammad sendiri menasihatkan para sahabat supaya sentiasa mengingati mati.

Kita perlu yakin ada kehidupan kedua selepas kematian yang membuatkan kita sentiasa berusaha menyiapkan diri sebaik mungkin untuk menghadapinya.

Kematian sememangnya amat 'PERKASA' sehinggakan seorang raja yang paling berkuasa sekalipun tidak terlepas daripada kematian jika tiba ketikanya.

Kematian juga bukan titik akhir bagi kehidupan tetapi ia satu perpindahan di mana bagi seorgang yang banyak melakukan kebaikan ketika hayatnya kematian adalah pintu gerbang untuk memasuki hidup baru yang lebih indah.

Ramai yang melihat mati sebagai malapetaka yang merampas nikmat hidup lalu mereka memilih jalan hidup dengan berhibur sebelum tiba saat kematian.

Ada yang mengatakan selagi masih hidup inilah untuk mencuba semua perkara termasuk perkara mungkar. Ada juga golongan yang Allah kurniakan memiliki usia yang panjang. Namun pada pandangan Islam, hidup yang makmur dan berjaya adalah apabila orang itu cemerlang dalam ibadah, peribadi dan keluarga, hidup bermasyarakat, ilmu dan harta.

Itulah sebabnya orang Islam yang berumur panjang tetapi tidak produktif ketika hayatnya sama seperti orang berumur pendek.

Terdapat sebuah kisah cucu kesembilan Nabi Muhammad Sallahhualaihisalam yang bernama Ai Al-Hadi dimana pada satu hari, beliau melawat seorang yang sakit tenat.

Raut wajah pesakit itu jelas menunjukkan kegelisahannya. Ai Al-Hadi berkata kepadanya, "Sebenarnya saudara kurang jelas dengan kelebihan kematian, lalu berasa takut dengannya",

"Beritahu saya, apabila ada kotoran melekat di badan sehingga saudara berasa tidak selesa, apa tindakan saudara seterusnya? Adakah saudara akan mandi atau pun biarkan saja? Pesakit itu menjawab, "lebih baik saya mandi dan bersihkan diri".

Ali Al-Hadi berkata, "ketahuilah, kematian itu seperti bilik mandi". Itu peluang terakhir kita membersihkan diri bagi menghilangkan segala kekotoran dan keburukan.

"Apabila kematian menjemput saudara sekarang saudara pasti bebas daripada semua derita dan kepedihan. Saudara akan bahagia selama-lamanya selepas ini".

Selepas mendengar penjelasan Ali Al-Hadi itu, pesakit berkenaan berubah menjadi ceria di mana wajahnya yang gelisah menjadi damai.

Kemudian dia menutup mata dengan tenang, menyerah diri kepada kematian sambil mengharap kasih sayang Allah.

Justeru, selagi kita bernafas, Allah sentiasa membuka peluang seluas-luasnya kepada kita untuk menyucikan diri.

Peluang itu wujud dalam bentuk taubat bersungguh-sungguh dengan menyesali perbuatan buruk dan berazam memperbaiki diri.

Nabi Muhammad mengajar kepada kita satu doa:
"Ya Allah, aku memohon kepada-Mu keampunan atas dosa-dosa yang aku sedari dan dosa-dosa yang tidak ku sedari, dosa-dosa yang aku ketahui serta yang tidak ku ketahui".

SIRAH HIDUP / THE BIOGRAPHY OF LIFE /  سيرة الحياة


Dunia ibarat kertas lembayung
The world is like crimson sheet
العالم هو مثل ورقة قرمزي.


Manusia adalah pelakon utamanya
Humans are the main actors
البشر هي الجهات الفاعلة الرئيسية

Malaikat pula jurugambarnya

Angels are the photographers
الملائكة هي المصورين
 Islam itu jalan ceritanya
Islam is the story

الإسلام هو قصة

 Kiamat itu kesudahan pengambaran
It’s the end of film shooting for resurrection
انها نهاية الفيلم لاطلاق النار القيامة


Padang Mashyar adalah tempat penganugerahan
Mashyar field is where the place of neither winning nor looser giving award
الحكم الحقل حيث لا مكان ولا الفوز منح جائزة الخسران



 Rasullullah adalah penerima anugerah terbaik
The best recipient award goes to Prophet
جائزة أفضل المتلقي يذهب إلى النبي


Allah Subhanataangla adalah hakimnya
Whereby God (ALLAH) is the Judge
حيث الله هو القاضي


Sementara itu, SYURGA Dan NERAKA adalah trophi nya
Meanwhile, HEAVEN and HELL is the trophy
وفي الوقت نفسه ، الجنة والجحيم هي الكأس

RASULULLAH (S.A.W.): A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF MODERATION

VALENTINE DAY IN ISLAM - SIN / HARAM

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
First of all, we’d like to shed light on the origin of this festival, known as "Valentine Day" or "Festival of Love":

The Festival of Love was one of the festivals of the pagan Romans, when paganism was the prevalent religion of the Romans more than seventeen centuries ago. In the pagan Roman concept, it was an expression of "spiritual love".

There were myths associated with this pagan festival of the Romans, which persisted with their Christian heirs. Among the most famous of these myths was the Roman belief that Romulus, the founder of Rome, was suckled one day by a she-wolf, which gave him strength and wisdom.

The Romans used to celebrate this event in mid-February each year with a big festival.

One of the rituals of this festival was the sacrifice of a dog and a goat. Two strong and muscular youths would daub the blood of the dog and goat onto their bodies, then they would wash the blood away with milk. After that there would be a great parade, with these two youths at its head, which would go about the streets. The two youths would have pieces of leather with which they would hit everyone who crossed their path. The Roman women would welcome these blows, because they believed that they could prevent or cure infertility.

The connection between Saint Valentine and this festival:
Saint Valentine is a name which is given to two of the ancient "martyrs" of the Christian Church. It was said that there were two of them, or that there was only one, who died in Rome as the result of the persecution of the Gothic leader Claudius, c. 296 CE. In 350 CE, a church was built in Rome on the site of the place where he died, to perpetuate his memory.

When the Romans embraced Christianity, they continued to celebrate the Feast of Love mentioned above, but they changed it from the pagan concept of "spiritual love" to another concept known as the "martyrs of love", represented by Saint Valentine who had advocated love and peace, for which cause he was martyred, according to their claims. It was also called the Feast of Lovers, and Saint Valentine was considered to be the patron saint of lovers.

One of their false beliefs connected with this festival was that the names of girls who had reached marriageable age would be written on small rolls of paper and placed in a dish on a table. Then the young men who wanted to get married would be called, and each of them would pick a piece of paper. He would put himself at the service of the girl whose name he had drawn for one year, so that they could find out about one another. Then they would get married, or they would repeat the same process again on the day of the festival in the following year.

The Christian clergy reacted against this tradition, which they considered to have a corrupting influence on the morals of young men and women. It was abolished in Italy, where it had been well-known, then it was revived in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when in some western countries there appeared shops which sold small books called “Valentine’s books”, which contained love poems, from which the one who wanted to send a greeting to his sweetheart could choose. They also contained suggestions for writing love letters.

The above quotation is excerpted, with slight modifications, from www.Islam-qa.com

As regards the Islamic stance on this festival, Dr. Su`ad Ibrahim Salih, professor of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) at Al-Azhar University, states the following:

Indeed, Islam is the religion of altruism, true love, and cooperation on that which is good and righteous. We implore Allah Almighty to gather us together under the umbrella of His All-encompassing Mercy, and to unite us together as one man. Allah Almighty says: (The believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make peace between your brethren and observe your duty to Allah that haply ye may obtain mercy.) (Al-Hujurat 49: 10)

Focusing more on the question in point, I can say that there are forms of expressing love that are religiously acceptable, while there are others that are not religiously acceptable. Among the forms of love that are religiously acceptable are those that include the love for Prophets and Messengers. It stands to reason that the love for Allah, and His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) should have the top priority over all other forms of love.

Islam does recognize happy occasions that bring people closer to one another, and add spice to their lives. However, Islam goes against blindly imitating the West regarding a special occasion such as Valentine’s Day. Hence, commemorating that special day known as the Valentine’s Day is an innovation or bid`ah that has no religious backing. Every innovation of that kind is rejected, as far as Islam is concerned. Islam requires all Muslims to love one another all over the whole year, and reducing the whole year to a single day is totally rejected.

Hence, we Muslims ought not to follow in the footsteps of such innovations and superstitions that are common in what is known as the Valentine’s Day. No doubt that there are many irreligious practices that occur on that day, and those practices are capable of dissuading people from the true meanings of love and altruism to the extent that the celebration is reduced to a moral decline
