Sunnah-sunnah di bulan Zulhijjah

Tidak ada amalan soleh yang lebih disukai oleh Allah S.W.T lebih daripada (amalan) pada hari-hari ini (iaitu10 hari bulan zulhijjah). Para sahabat bertanya: Wahai Rasulullah, sekalipun dengan JIHAD di jalan Allah?".Rasulullah SAW menjawab, "Sekalipun dengan jihad. Kecuali jika seseorang keluar dengan dirinya dan hartanya dan tidak kembali lagi (mati syahid)". [Hadis riwayat Bukhari]

Sunnah-Sunnah Di Bulan Zulhijjah

 


a) Berpuasa di hari Arafah/9 Zulhijjah:

عَن بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ “ يَصُومُ تِسْعَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَيَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ أَوَّلَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ وَالْخَمِيسَ “

Beberapa isteri nabi s.a.w berkata: Nabi s.a.w sering berpuasa pada sembilan Zulhijjah, hari Asyura, dan tiga hari setiap bulan, Isnin awal setiap bulan dan hari Khamis [Sunan Abi Daud: 2085, Shaikh al-Albani mensahihkannya]


قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ….، صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ ، وَالسَّنَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهُ …..

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: Puasa Arafah, aku berharap agar Allah menghapuskan dosa setahun sebelumnya dan setahun selepasnya [Sahih Muslim:1983]


b) Menyembelih korban

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : ” مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ سَعَةٌ وَلَمْ يُضَحِّ ، فَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّ مُصَلَّانَا “

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: Sesiapa yang mempunyai keluasan (harta) tetapi tidak menyembelih korban, maka janganlah dia mendekati tempat solat kami. [Sunan ibn Majah:3122, Shaikh al-Albani menyatakan ia hasan]

c) Membanyakkan amal ibadah pada sepuluh hari pertama Zulhijjah

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ” مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهِنَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ ” فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ” وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ “

Ibn ‘Abbas r.a berkata: Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: Tiada hari yang mana amal soleh pada hari itu lebih dicintai Allah daripada sepuluh hari (awal Zulhijjah). Para sahabat bertanya: Ya Rasulullah, tidak juga jihad di jalan Allah? Baginda s.a.w menjawab: Tidak juga jihad di jalan Allah melainkan jika seorang lelaki itu keluar dengan nyawa dan hartanya, dan dia tidak pulah (terbunuh). [Sunan at-Tirmizi: 687, Imam at-Tirmizi berkata: Hadis ini Hasan Sahih Gharib]


d) Melakukan solat hari raya di Musolla/tanah lapang

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : ” خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَضْحَى أَوْ فِطْرٍ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى

Daripada Abu Sa;id al-Khudri r.a, Rasulullah s.a.w keluar ke musolla/tanah lapang pada hari raya Aidiladha dan Aidilfitri [Sahih al-Bukhari: 296]


e) Membanyakkan takbir bermula pada satu Zulhijjah sehingga Asar 13 Zulhijjah.
وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِى أَيَّامٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ أَيَّامُ الْعَشْرِ ، وَالأَيَّامُ الْمَعْدُودَاتُ أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ . وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَخْرُجَانِ إِلَى السُّوقِ فِى أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ يُكَبِّرَانِ ، وَيُكَبِّرُ النَّاسُ بِتَكْبِيرِهِمَا . وَكَبَّرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ خَلْفَ النَّافِلَةِ .

Ibnu ‘Abbas berkata, “Berzikirlah kalian kepada Allah pada hari-hari yang ditentukan iaitu 10 hari pertama Zulhijah dan juga pada hari-hari tasyriq.” Ibnu ‘Umar dan Abu Hurairah pernah keluar ke pasar pada sepuluh hari pertama Zulhijah, lalu mereka bertakbir, lantas manusia pun ikut bertakbir. Muhammad bin ‘Ali pun bertakbir setelah shalat sunnah. [Dikeluarkan oleh Bukhari tanpa sanad (mu’allaq), pada Bab “Keutamaan beramal di hari tasyriq”]

Takbir terbahagi kepada dua. Takbir Mutlaq-bermula pada awal Zulhijjah sehingga Asar 13 Zulhijjah. Ia boleh dilakukan pada bila-bila masa. Dalilnya di atas

Takbir Muqayyad- takbir yang dilaungkan selepas solat fardhu. Ia dilakukan bermula pada Subuh 9 Zulhijjah, dan berakhir pada selepas Asar 13 Zulhijjah. Dalilnya ialah: Daripada Ali bin Abi Thalib radiallahu ‘anhu, bahawa beliau bertakbir setelah solat Subuh pada 9 Zulhijjah sampai Asar 13 Zulhijjah. Beliau juga bertakbir setelah Asar. [Musannaf Ibn Abi Syaibah & Al-Baihaqi. Shaikh al-Albani mensahihkannya]


f) Tidak Makan Sebelum Solat Raya

عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ” كَانَ لَا يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ ، وَكَانَ لَا يَأْكُلُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ “

Daripada Ibn Buraidah r.a, bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w kebiasaannya tidak akan keluar daripada rumah (untuk pergi mendirikan solat raya) kecuali sehingga telah makan, dan baginda s.a.w tidak makan pada hari raya haji melainkan selepas pulang (daripada solat raya). [Sunan Ibn Majah: 1746, Shaikh al-Albani menyatakan ia hadis sahih]

Rights of the Righteous

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

As we all should be aware of, the situation in Egypt has turned from bad to worst. It has even spread to other parts of the Middle East countries. This spirit of freedom is somehow outbursting from all parts of the countries.

A short vid clip about the chronology of what's happening  : HERE

Under the reign of Hosni Mubarak [for 30 years!], they have been denied of their total rights as the citizens. Not only that, being the ally of the West [u know who], the government [under his rule] has been denying the rights of Rafah where help cannot be transferred there. It's like having a blood related brother trying to sell of his own brother  [Muslim country helping the West to overtake the other Muslim country]

Some readings: HERE, HERE, HERE

It's a common fact that whenever a supposed-to-be peaceful demo turns out riotous, it must be because of the police force. Releasing all the tear gas and whatnot bullets and then accusing the people had turned out violent and aggressive.

This situation of wanting the government particularly H.B to step down might set a new ambiance to the whole crisis. The freedom of Al-Quds like we have been anticipating for all this while And I quote some spirited statuses from Ustaz Hasrizal:

 Riot is not an easy option. People will only take to streets when they lost their confidence in the system and the politicians. Egypt is a strong reminder to those in power who shamelessly abuse our system!

Menjatuhkan Hosni Ghair Mubarak, bukan hanya untuk memulihkan Mesir, malah untuk membuka sekatan di Rafah! Palestin.... you'll find the way! Keep praying...  [translation: taking down Hosni Ghair mubarak is not only to improve Egypt, but also to open back the blocked passage in Rafah! ]

We still can't get through to the people there. The Internet is still down, miraculously, 'someone' released the prisoners and gave them weapons to run amok in the streets. The police aren't patrolling. People not involved in the riot are hiding in their homes fearing that someone would come knock their doors and rob them   [ whom? wallahu 'alam]. I got to know this from some friends, they hear gunshots most of the time right before their ears. Food supplies, water supplies have been cut down. For so many years, the Palestinians have been experiencing this situation. This might whisper the spirit of solidarity on a new level. Not just saying that we support our brothers and sisters but actually experiencing the same feeling  [ I guess]. Regardless, I do pray for their safety and well-being.

God knows until when this situation will prolong. At least until the people's demand is commenced. For Hosni Mubarak to step down. Enough is enough with your dictatorship. Enough is enough with your disloyalty towards your own people. Please step down nice and quietly already!

Those not affected, at least try to acknowledge this situation and know the truth about our brothers and sisters in Islam. Don't be so ignorant just because we are SO FAR away and that we should not bother [ no offense but I am quite disappointed by some people who's making fun about this matter]. This is a matter of solidarity among the Muslims throughout the world so please be a bit conscientious. [a reminder to myself]

Peace for freedom, inshaAllah!

Allahu musta'an....May He help those in the righteous path,ameen~

Modesty

"Abdullah ibn Mas'ud relates that one day the Prophet said, 'Be shy of Allah (God) Most High as much as is His due.' The companions present said, 'All praise to Allah, we are shy of Him.' The Prophet said, 'That is not the point. Whoever is shy of Allah as much as is His due, he should protect his head and that which it comprises (i.e. mind, mouth, ears), his stomach and that which is adjoining it (i.e. preserve it from unlawful wealth and protect the private parts from the unlawful), and he should remember death and that which is to come after it; and whoever desires the Hereafter should abandon the adornments of this world. Whoever fulfills these duties has been shy of Allah as much as is His due.'" (Musnad Ahmad)

Today I want to talk a little bit about modesty. Defining the term according to my personal lexicon would akin to moderate/down to earth, humble....orang melayu kata "besederhana"

This word is tough, both in meaning and practice. Easy said than done, easy done than maintaining it.

Just look around us, what do people don't show? qualifications? wealth? social status? assuming that we act, walk,talk, wear something better than others? even the high level of 'knowledge' that we may have as compared to others in whatever significant field. Ok, don't look so far, just look into ourselves..... [let's do some reality check shall we?]

As I recall back some of the people that I can still remember from my past, one thing I could line out from all of them. Their natural feature of being a modest person. Some are too humble even though they score like crazily high in exams, some keep their wealthy family's background a secret, some who wears simple same fashion from the first time I met until the end, the ones who appear rough but actually has a soft hard, the ones who'd buy extra fish at the cafeteria just to feed the stray cats around the mahallah, the ones who'd help out another person even though they are already tied to their schedule........those who have their unique way of portraying that act of kindness.

Personally, people who possess and could portray that feature could really catch my heart. Being modest and humble....it's something that I would love to see in people, to be and hope that everyone could be [to be or not to be, that is the question....shakespeare sikit].  By that, all of us could be a grateful human being for whatever we have and always remember to thank Him....the Possessor and Giver....thank you Allah =)

Let's be humble, be nice to people, be courteous, be grateful and many more of the mahmudah features ^^

Taf tapi bukan mustahil, chayok2 buat kita semua!!!

"Who Created Allah?"

[a friend shared this note in FB]


Taken from
Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah
of
Shaykh Al-Albaani

Translated by
Abbas Abu Yahya

Shaykh al-Albani refutes this doubt by researching the following Ahadeeth:
On the authority of ‘Aa’ishah-Radi Allaahu anha - who said that the Messenger of Allaah-
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘If the Shaytan comes to one of you and says: ‘Who created
you?’ say ‘Allaah.’ Then he will say: who created Allaah? So if one of you finds this situation then say: ‘I have believed in Allaah and His Messengers.’ This doubt will then leave you.’
Narrated by Ahmad graded Hasan by Albani [saheehah 116]

In another narration also in Saheehah (Hadeeth No.117), the Prophet-sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- said: ‘The Shaytan comes to one of you and says: ‘Who created this? Who
created that? Who created this? Until he says who created your lord? So if this
reaches you then seek refuge in Allaah and it will end.’
Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim and Ibn Sunni.

In the wording narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Messenger of Allaah-sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-
said:
‘The people will question one another so much that one of them will say: So Allaah
created the creation, then who created Allaah Azza wa Jal? So if they say this, then
say:

<< Say: He is Allaah, The One.Alla ahus-Sama d, He does not beget nor was he
begotten, and there is none like unto Him. >>
Then he should spittle to his left three times and seek refuge from the Shaytan.
Narrated by Abu Dawood & Ibn Sunni and graded Hasan by Albani.

Then Shaykh Albani comments by saying:
Fiqh al-Hadeeth:

These authentic Ahadeeth indicate that it is obligatory for the one Shaytan whispers
to, by saying ‘who created Allaah?’, that he turns away from debating with him and
responds with what was mentioned in the previous Ahadeeth, the summary of which
is:

I have believed in Allaah and His Messengers. ‘He is Allaah, The One,Al la ah us-Sa ma d,
He does not beget nor was He begotten, and there is none like unto Him.’ Then he
should spittle to his left three times and seek refuge from the Shaytan. This (then)
stops him from being carried away by the whisperings of Shaytan.

I truly believe that whoever does this sincerely, out of obedience to Allaah and His
Messenger, these whisperings will definitely leave him and his Shaytan will be defeated
due to the saying of the Messenger of Allaah-sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-: ‘Then this doubt will
leave you.’


This noble prophetic teaching is more beneficial and more definitive against
whisperings than intellectual debate in this issue, since it is very rare that such a debate
will be beneficial. What is sad is that the majority of people are neglectful of this
noble prophetic teaching! So take heed O Muslims, learn the Sunnah of your Prophet
and implement it, in it is cure and honour for you.’

[Silsilah Saheehah: 118]

All Praise belongs to Allaah, may His peace
and blessings be upon our final
Prophet Muhammad, his
family, his companions
and all those who


follow his


guidance.

“Where did God come from?”


Responding to the question you raised, Sheikh Yusuf Estes, a prominent Muslim scholar and director of Islamtomorrow.com, states the following:

“I like your question and may Allah always make us of those who seek true knowledge to better understand our purpose of this life, Ameen.

This question has to be evaluated on its merits and restated according to Islamic understandings.

First and foremost, Muslims do not compare Allah to His creation. Therefore, the question can be answered as such due to the fact that Allah is completely Exalted and far above mortal description; He is not “like” His creation.

Allah tells us in His Book that He is “As-Samad” (The eternally Besought of all). He is also the “Al-Awwal” (First) and the “Al-’Akhir” (Last) He is without beginning or end. This is how He always was and always is, and always will be, so to speak.

Second, Islam is clear on the issue of asking questions about Allah, warning people against being influenced by such question which could plant doubt into someone’s mind or drive him away from the Right Path.

Let us consider the Hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wherein he mentioned that the Shaytan (Satan) will come to you and trouble you with questions like: “Who created this or that?” To which you would logically respond: “Allah.” Until he would come to the question: “Then who created Allah?” At which point the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed us to say: “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil.” And then leave off this train of thought. (Reported by Muslim)

You might also consider similar questions that the enemies of Islam have used for centuries to weaken one’s faith in the existence of Allah.

To illustrate:

When the disbelievers come to you and ask you if you believe in God, you would logically reply: “Yes.”

Then they would ask you: “Can your God do anything?” You would say: “Yes.”

Then they would ask you: “Can your God make something huge?” You would say: “Of course.”

They would say: “Can your God make something so big that nothing can move it?” Then you would say: “Yes.”

Then they would say: “You mean that your God could make something so big that nothing could ever move it?” Again, you say: “Yes.”

Then they say: “So big that even your God can’t move it?” Now you have a problem.

Either you answer: “Yes.” They will say: “Then that means your God cannot do everything. Because now there is something that your God cannot do. He cannot move the object.”

But if you answer: “No.” They will simply say: “Then this is something that your God cannot do.”

This is a similar problem to the one you have mentioned. This is the idea of a god that is having problems with his own creation. The concept of Allah in Islam is that He is never compared to His creation. He merely says: “Be.” And it is. So, Allah does not operate like a human or anyone or anything within His creation. Within the laws of creation is the rule that nothing moves except that there is a fulcrum, a lever and a force. Allah does not have to use a fulcrum and lever to move anything. One of His attributes is that He is “Al-Qawiyy” (The All Powerful).

So, He is the Power. He does not come under the rules of His creation. He makes the rules. He operates within His own rules; He changes His rules as He pleases, and according to the way He deems fit. That is the understanding of the Muslims.

Power Nap

Wiki says:  A power nap is a short sleep which terminates before the occurrence of deep sleep or slow-wave sleep (SWS), intended to quickly revitalize the subject.

The power nap is thought to maximize the benefits of sleep versus time. It is used to supplement normal sleep, especially when a sleeper has accumulated a sleep deficit.


Scientific experiments (see Benefits section below) and anecdotal evidence suggest that an average power nap duration of around 15–30 minutes is most effective[my comment: not more than 20minutes]. Any more time, and the body enters into its usual sleep cycle. People who regularly take power naps may develop a good idea of what duration works best for them, as well as what tools, environment, position, and associated factors help induce the best results.

Even better, a power nap or mid-day nap is the sunnah of the prophet that recently has been appreciated by the scientists.

Not only does a mid-day nap give relaxation to the body in day time but it is also very conducive to sleep at right.

Relaxing once during the day is very conducive to total relaxation and sleep - once you crawn into bed for the night     (Kerner)
