How to commemorate Rasulullah S.A.W

Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

In the current atmosphere of Islamophobia, there is much misunderstanding and deep-seated prejudice against Islam and its Prophet (sas). There are many websites run by bigots and hate-mongers who take perverse pleasure in denigrating the person of the Prophet and his followers.

The vast majority of non-Muslims out there are not acquainted with the personality, mission and legacy of Muhammad (sas).

Here is something we Muslims can do to reverse this tide of ignorance and bigotry. In commemorating the birthday of Muhammad al-Mustafa (sas), let us introduce Rasulullah (sas) to our non Muslim friends, colleagues and acquaintances.

E-mail them an article on our Prophet via: http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/2626/.

Send them a free e-book on the same subject: http://www.islamhouse.com/p/246898.

Share with them educational videos: http://thedeenshow.com/show.php?action=listvideo&sid=64.

Download them into your blogs, Facebooks, etc. Let the non-Muslim world be thoroughly exposed to the marvelous beauty of Islam.

Having done all that, make lots of doa that their hearts would be softened and receptive to the message of Ad-Deenul Islam, the true religion of Jesus, the son of Mary (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them).
  

Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful


Approaching is the day on which the sun of guidance and mercy rose. On that day, the noblest of all creation was born – Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Almighty Allah sent him to drive people out of darkness into light; He sent him as a source of mercy to all the worlds. By Allah's leave and support, the noble Prophet succeeded in delivering the divine message and attracting a large number of people into becoming devout worshippers of Allah. We, the one and half billion Muslims, are his followers who love and hold him dearer than our children and parents and even our own selves.





One of France's universally known poets and statesmen, Lamartine (1204 [C.E. 1790]-1285 [C.E. 1869]) made official journeys through Europe and America, which gave him the opportunity to have been to Turkey, in the time of Sultan Abd-ul-majid Khan.
See what he says about Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' in his book Histoire de Turquie (History of Turkey):

"Was Muhammad 'sall-Allahu ta'ala alaihi wa sallam' a false prophet? We cannot think so after studying his works and history. For false prophethood means hypocrisy. As falsehood does not have the power of trueness, likewise hypocrisy does not have convincing capacity.

"In mechanics the range of something thrown depends on the power of the thrust. By the same token, the power of a certain source of spiritual inspiration is assessed with the work it accomplishes. A religion, (i.e. Islam), which has carried so heavy a burden, which has spread to such distances, and which has maintained its full power for such a long time, cannot be a lie. It has to be genuine and convincing. Muhammad's 'alaihis-salam' life; his efforts; his courage in attacking and destroying the superstitions and idols in his country; his bravery and valor in standing against the fury of a fire-worshiping nation; his thirteen year endurance to the various attacks, insults and persecutions inflicted on him in Mecca, among his own citizens; his migration to Medina; his incessant encouragements, preaches and admonitions; the holy wars he fought against overwhelmingly superior enemy forces; his spirit for victory; the superhuman confidence he felt at times of greatest afflictions; the patience and trust he displayed even in victory; the determination he showed in convincing others; his endless devotion in worships; his sacred communings with Allahu ta'ala; his death, and the continuation of his fame, honor and victories after his death; all these factual events (and many others untold) indicate that he was by no means a liar, but, on the contrary, an owner of great belief 'sall-Allahu ta'ala alaihi wa sallam'.

"It was this belief and this trust in his Creator that made him put forward a two-staged credo: The first stage consisted of the belief that 'there is one eternal being, who is Allah;' and the second stage inculcated that 'idols are not gods.' In the first stage he informed the Arabs about the existence of Allahu ta'ala, who is one and whom they had not known until that time; and in the second stage he shook from their hands the idols which they had looked on as gods until that time. In short, at a single stroke with the sword he broke the false gods and idols and replaced them with the belief in 'One Allah'.

"This is Muhammad 'alaihis-salam', the philosopher, the orator, the Prophet, the law-giver, the warrior, the enchanter of human thoughts, the maker of new principles of belief, the great man who established twenty gigantic world empires and one great Islamic empire and civilization 'sall-Allahu ta'ala alaihi wa sallam'.

"Let all the criteria used by humanity for the judgement and evaluation of greatness be applied. Will anyone be found superior to him? Impossible." 'sall-Allahu ta'ala alaihi wa sallam'. "If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls. . . his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was twofold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with words.

"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?"



Even a non-Muslim can defend that Muhammad is a true prophet and messenger of God, how could we as a Muslim "rejected" him.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Last Monday we had family gathering at my house. Its hard to see each other unless during the holiday.
My aunt ask me how's my life now. I said ok but a little bit stress sometimes. She said there is technique called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).I did learn from her a bit how's to do the tapping. The rest I download it from you tube. Its easy. You can try by yourself. It teach you how can you accept, love and appreciate yourself because this technique come from the spiritual perspective. In Islam, we accept what Allah already put into us. That's the main about EFT. You accept yourself as what you are. Here are some information about EFT. You can go this website to get more information or just google you will find any of them that suit you to get the manual and video how to demonstrate it.

What is EFT?
 EFT is a powerful  new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:

   1. Mind Body Medicine
   2. Acupuncture (without needles).

In essence, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. This addresses a new cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians). Properly done, this frequently reduces the therapeutic process from months or years down to hours or minutes. And, since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that EFT provides astonishing physical relief.

This is the tapping point summary.


This is a introduction of EFT





Give it a try. Its fun..=)

Pengajaran dari Hijrah Nabi

In The Name Of Allah the Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Alhamdulillah akhirnya saya punya kesempatan untuk menulis lagi. Ketika post ini ditulis saya berada di atas bas menuju ke kampung halaman. 2 minggu yang sangat sibuk buat saya telah berlalu. Saya akan bercuti untuk seminggu. Walaupun bercuti banyak tugasan yang perlu disiapkan. Alhamdulillah walaupun agak sibuk sampai saya takde masa yang cukup untuk berehat dan akhirnya demam buat kali kedua selepas seminggu kebah tapi saya gagahi tapi kali ini betul-betul saya letakkan pergantungan pada Allah untuk melindungi saya. Banyak yang saya pelajari dalam tempoh ni walaupun tekanan yang menghimpit kadang membuatkan saya jatuh terduduk tapi akhirnya terus bangkit. Kekuatan tidak datang dari fizikal tapi ianya datang dari semangat tak pernah mengalah.

5 dan 6hb lepas saya bersama beberapa lagi ahli IPSI ke program Al-Kauthar menghadiri kursus yang bertajuk WORLD OF THE UNSEEN. Satu arah tujuan kita yang pasti selepas ini. Di manakah tempat akhir kita selepas mati? Adakah Allah akan merahmati kita dan memasukkan kita ke dalam syurgaNYA yang mengandungi nikmatNYA yang tak terhingga dan tak terbayang dek akal manusia yang sejengkal atau pun Allah akan mencampakkan kita ke dalam nerakaNYA yang panas menyala-nyala yang takkan mampu manusia untuk menanggung azab di dalamnya. Kursus ini memberi kesan yang sangat mendalam buat saya. Terasa hidup ini dipenuhi dengan dosa dan noda. Moga Allah mengampunkan dosa kita semua.

Post kali ni saya nak berkongsi sedikit ilmu yang saya dapat ketika AGM IPSI yang lepas. Dakwah itu banyak cabangnya. Ia merangkumi ekonomi, siasah, institusi kekeluargaan, sosial dan juga dakwah kepada non-muslim. Saya amat berminat dengan dakwah non-muslim ini. Alhamdulillah Allah bukakan jalan ini dengan membawa saya ke dalam IPSI. Tetapi dalam berdakwah dan berada di dalam organisasi, kita semua perlu mempelajari dan mengetahui adab-adab dalam berorganisasi. Kalau tidak pada awalnya bahtera dakwah ini meluncur laju dan terus laju mungkin akhirnya akan semakin perlahan kerana terdapat kebocoran pada bahtera tersebut dan moga-moga ianya tidak karam dan tenggelam. Sekiranya sesuatu bahtera dakwah itu karam, pasti syaitanlah yang paling gembira melihat kita kerana dia mampu memecah belahkan penghuni bahtera tersebut sehingga akhirnya karam.

Dalam peristiwa Hijrah nabi ketika sampai di Madinah, nabi menjalankan 3 projek besar. Ia memberi panduan dan pengajaran kepada kita untuk diaplikasikan dalam sesebuah organisasi agar organisasi kita mampu belayar dan mengharungi segala badai di lautan.

1. Membina masjid nabawi
Ibadah dalam Islam berperanan membersihkan jiwa, menyucikan akhlak dan menguatkan ikatan tolong menolong sesama orang Islam. Masjid pula membawa mesej kemasyarakatan dan kerohanian yang agung dalam kedudukan umat Islam dan berperanan menyatukan saf-saf, mendidik jiwa, menyedarkan hati dan akal, menyelesaikan masalah serta mempamerkan kekukuhan dan kekuatan Umat Islam. Ia merupakan satu significant yang menunjukkan ahli-ahli perlu mementingkan ibadah dalam kehidupan mereka. Bagi memastikan keberkesanan dakwah, hubungan kita Allah perlu di jaga kerana Allahlah yang memberikan hidayah kepada mereka yang kita dakwahkan.

2. Menegakkan piagam madinah

Prinsip-prinsip yang ada di dalam piagam tersebut merupakan dasar asas kepada negara Islam yang pertama. Di dalamnya dinyatakan prinsip  kemanusiaan, keadilan sosial, toleransi agama dan kerjasama demi kemaslahatan masyarakat. Setiap golongan sama ada majoriti atau minoriti diberikan hak masing-masing tanpa sebarang diskriminasi. Tapi setiap hak yang diberikan harus datang bersama tanggungjawab. Apa yang saya nak tekankan adalah tanggungjwab kita kepada bukan Islam. Allah berfirman dalam surah al-mumtahanah ayat 8 yang berbunyi:

"Allah tiada melarang kamu untuk berbuat baik
dan berlaku adil terhadap orang-orang yang tiada
memerangimu karena agama dan tidak (pula) mengusir
kamu dari negerimu. Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai
orang-orang yang berlaku adil."

Kebanyakan non-muslim sangat takut ketika kita menyatakan hendak melaksanakan hukum Islam kerana mereka kehilangan hak dan kebebasan dalam mengamalkan agama dan budaya mereka. Semua ni berlaku kerana mereka tidak tahu hak-hak mereka di bawah pemerintahan Islam. Jadi seharusnya kita umat Islam bersikap adil kepada mereka. Sesama umat Islam pun kita harus bersikap adil dan menunaikan hak satu sama lain. Jika hak semua pihak ditunaikan dengan adil dan saksama, insyaallah aman damailah hidup kita.

3. Mempersaudarakan muhajirin dan ansor

Rasulullah mempersaudarakan di antara Muhajirin dan Ansor. Baginda menjadikan untuk setiap ansor seorang saudara daripada muhajirin. Kadang kita tertanya-tanya kenapa Rasul mempersaudarakan mereka sedangkan dua-dua golongan ini merupakan sahabat nabi sepatutnya tiada masalah hidup bersama walaupun tak dipersaudarakan. Tapi manusia punya nafsu kerana Allah qadarkan manusia begitu tak seperti malaikat yang sentiasa tunduk dan taat kepada Allah sepanjang masa. Tapi kompas manusia berbeza. Kita mampu jadi malaikat yang patuh pada Allah ataupun syaitan yang derhaka pada Allah. Allah memberikan kudrat yang terhad kepada kita namun masih mampu membuat pilihan jalan mana yang kita ingin pilih. Jalan malaikat atau jalan syaitan.

Nabi mempersaudarakan muhajirin dan ansar kerana ukhwah sangat penting. Kalau tak bersatu, bahtera yang dilayari mungkin akan tenggelam akhirnya. Umat Islam mudah diperkotak0katikkan pada zaman ini kerana kita tidak bersatu. Jika dilihat dari jumlah angka, lebih kurang 1.5 billion Muslim di dunia. kita bukan sedikit tapi mengapa sangat mudah ditindas? Kerana kita tidak bersatu. Begitu jugalah dalam sesebuah organisasi. Kesatuan sangat penting. Sekiranya kita sesama Islam pun bergaduh saling dengki-mendengki, akhirnya umat Islam yang kerugian. Wallahualam.

Website

In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Pagi tadi check email ada email dari Bro Siraj tentang website yang mungkin dapat membantu kita menyediakan hujah bagi soalan-soalan dan kritikan dari bukan Islam. Sekarang ni umat Islam di serang dari segenap segi. Bersedialah.
 
Assalamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,
 
As you may well know, there are numerous anti-Islam websites which are designed to portray Islam in a very bad light. The enemies of Islam take perverse delight in condemning the person of Muhammad (pbuh), vilifying the Qur’an and gravely distorting Muslim history. Often Muslims are at loss when it comes to responding to those monstrous allegations, due to lack of knowledge and exposure to the discipline of comparative religion. Here is a list of websites that might come in handy when responding to such wild allegations:
 
 
Share it with your fellow Muslims.
 
Jazakallah.

Sekadar Coretan

In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Alhamdulillah hari ni dah masuk bulan baru dan kita masih dikurniakan nikmat berupa pinjaman nyawa dariNYA.
setiap nikmat yang diberikan Allah datang dengan tanggungjawab. "Rights and responsibility comes hand to hand."
Minggu lepas saya membentangkan tajuk HUKUM DAN TANGGUNGANNYA KE ATAS MANUSIA untuk subjek HIS 213 (Sumber dan Prinsip Perundangan Islam). Setiap janin yang berada dalam kandungan ibu, selagi disahkan hidup, kita boleh berikan hak kepadanya tapi bukan tanggungjawab. Contohnya kita boleh mewariskan harta atau wakaf kepada janin tersebut kerana ia tak memerlukan lafaz qabul hanya lafaz ijab. Tapi lafaz yang memerlukan qabul seperti nikah tak boleh dilakukan ke atas janin kerana apabila ada qabul, jadi ia datang dengan tanggungjawab. Cuma tanggungjawab tersebut datang dengan syarat dan kadar kemampuan individu terbabit dan mungkin berbeza bagi setiap orang.

Semalam alhamdulillah AGM IPSI berjalan dengan lancar dan dipermudahkan oleh Allah. Walaupun saya dalam kerisauan kerana banyak sangat lagi tak study untuk 3 test pada minggu hadapan. Hujung minggu ini juga saya ada program. Jadi masa sangat terhad dan sebelum balik bercuti 12 hb ini jugak saya kena selesaikan experiment untuk final year project dan assignment. Tapi yang paling saya risaukan adalah test kerana ia juga akan menentukan final result saya selepas ini. Mungkin sebab saya terlalu mengharap dapat buat yang terbaik sedikit sebanyak membuatkan saya tertekan dan tak lupa juga tanggungjawab yang ditaklifkan ke atas saya juga menuntut waktu dan tenaga dari saya. Kadang terasa 24jam terlalu sekejap berlalu dan tak sempat nak selesaikan sesuatu urusan yang saya dah tetapkan untuk dihabiskan pada hari tersebut. Tapi apabila muhasabah balik, sebenarnya banyak waktu yang saya sia-siakan dan tidak di manfaatkan sepenuhnya. Ketika saya menaip post ini pun sebenarnya sedang menghadap nota untuk subjek LASER yang saya sendiri tak sempat untuk menelaah.  Waktu yang diberikan kepada semua orang sama iaitu 24 jam. Tapi kenapa ada beza kualiti dan kuantiti kerja antara kita dan orang lain? Ia bergantung kepada bagaimana kita memanfaatkan masa yang diberikan kepada kita dan keberkatan masa yang diberikan kepada kita juga.  Tapi alhamdulillah langsung tak terasa sia-sia waktu yang saya peruntukkan untuk ke AGM IPSI semalam malah saya balik dengan banyak ilmu dan hujah yang baru.

Dalam perjalanan ke Kompleks Masyarakat Penyayang saya dah mengutip ilmu yang sangat berharga dari Bro Kamarudin. Seterusnya ketika AGM bermula, ucapan dari penasihat IPSI, Dr Danial pun memberikan banyak ilmu dan pengajaran. Perjalanan seterusnya pun banyak yang dapat saya kutip pengajaran dari pendapat dan perbincangan ketika AGM. Inilah bezanya yang dapat saya rasa ketika kita buat sesuatu kerana Allah dengan kita buat sesuatu yang dimurkai Allah. Insyaallah ada kesempatan saya akan kongsi ilmu yang saya dapat. Tapi yang utama ialah KOMITMEN dalam diri kita untuk meneruskan dakwah walau dalam bidang apa sekalipun dan juga IKHLAS dalam segala urusan yang kita lakukan.Insyaallah. Semoga kita tergolong dalam golongan yang di cintai olehNYA.
