PESANAN SYEIKH AHMAD YASSIN (1938-2004)

KEPADA PEMUDA DAN PEMUDI

Wahai anak-anakku, telah tiba saatnya kalian kembali kepada ALLAH swt dengan meninggalkan pelbagai keseronokan dan kealpaan kehidupan dan menyingkirkannya jauh daripada kehidupan kalian. Telah tiba saatnya kalian bangun dan melakukan solat subuh secara berjemaah.

Sudah sampai saatnya untuk kalian menghiasi diri dengan akhlak yang mulia, mengamalkan kandungan al-Quran serta mencontohi kehidupan Nabi Muhammad saw. Aku menyeru kalian wahai anak-anakku untuk solat tepat pada waktunya. Lebih dari itu, aku mengajak kalian wahai anak-anakku, untuk mendekat diri kepada sunnah Nabi kalian yang agung.

Wahai para pemuda, aku ingin kalian menyedari dan menghayati makna tanggung jawab. Kalian harus tegar menghadapi kesulitan hidup dengan meninggalkan keluh kesah. Aku menyeru kalian untuk menghadap ALLAH SWT dan memohon keampunan dari-Nya agar Dia memberi rezeki yang berkat kepada kalian. Aku menyeru kalian supaya menghormati orang yang lebih tua dan menyayangi orang yang lebih muda.

Aku ingin kalian tidak tertidur oleh alunan-alunan muzik yang melalaikan, melupakan kata-kata yang menyebutkan cinta kepada manusia dan dunia serta menggantikannya dengan kata amal, kerja dan zikir kepada ALLAH. Wahai anak-anakku, aku amat berharap kalian tidak sibuk dengan muzik dan tidak terjerumus ke dalam arus syahwat. Wahai puteriku, aku ingin kalian berjanji kepada ALLAH akan mengenakan hijab secara jujur dan betul.

Aku meminta kalian berjanji kepada ALLAH bahawa kalian akan mengambil peduli tentang agama dan Nabi kalian yang mulia. Jadikanlah ibunda kalian, Khadijah dan Aisyah, sebagai teladan. Jadikan mereka sebagai pelita hidup kalian. Haram hukumnya bagi kalian untuk melakukan sesuatu yang boleh menarik perhatian pemuda supaya mendekati kalian.Kepada semua, aku ingin kalian bersiap sedia untuk menghadapi segala sesuatu yang akan datang. Bersiaplah dengan agama dan ilmu pengetahuan.

Bersiaplah untuk belajar dan mencari hikmah. Belajarlah bagaimana hidup dalam kegelapan yang pekat. Latihlah diri kalian agar dapat hidup tanpa elektrik dan peralatan elektronik. Latihlah diri kalian untuk sementara waktu merasakan kehidupan yang sukar. Biasakan diri kalian agar dapat melindungi diri dan membuat perancangan untuk masa depan. Berpeganglah kepada agama kalian. carilah sebab-sebabnya dan tawakal kepada ALLAH.

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: 
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT 

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute

3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal. 

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and 
gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day. 

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.


The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases: 

1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.. 

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. 

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: 
· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting, 
· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. 
· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. 
· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 
· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. 
· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

Transparent creatures …. Glory to ALLAH

Look at the following transparent creatures and see how Allah Almighty had supported them with livelihood and ways of protections ….

In Qur'an, Allah talks to atheists who believe that this universe was created by coincidence: (This is the creation of Allah. So show me that which those (whom you worship) besides Him have created. Nay, theZâlimûn (polytheists, wrongdoers and those who do not believe in the Oneness of Allah) are in plain error.)(Sûrat Luqmân-verse11)… The believer needs to look attentively at the creations of Allah to increase his or her faith ….How Allah did create these creatures and subjected all means of livelihood….

Let us see those creatures and to glorify Allah almighty who says: (Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakîl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things.)(Sûrat AZ-Zumar- verse 62). 
Here we will see how Allah had supported these creatures with some transparent organs to enable it to defend itself against attacking of enemies and to get its livelihood.

A beautiful butterfly with two transparent wings to frighten its enemies so that it can protect itself from attackers…..Glory to Allah

Another butterfly visiting a hairy melastomad plant that has windowpane wings. Color-bearing scales are reduced to fine hairs, making the wings transparent except for four eyelike dots. 

With a head like a fighter-plane cockpit, a Pacific barreleye fish shows off its highly sensitive, barrel-like eyes--topped by green, orblike lenses.The fish, discovered alive in the deep water off California's central coast by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), is the first specimen of its kind to be found with its soft transparent dome intact. The 6-inch (15-centimeter) barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) had been known since 1939--but only from mangled specimens dragged to the surface by nets.
A transparent frog doesn't need to be dissected to see its internal organs and blood vessels. Isn’t He a great creator?

Another transparent frog its inside is seen clearly!!!
A squid with a staring eye, it can see in darkness to catch the prey. God didn't forget to support it by means of getting livelihood.

Allah almighty had supported this jellyfish by very sensitive sensors to see and catch the prey.

A small fish (new born), Allah had supported it by this transparency feature to defend itself.

Red and purple glowing squid, there are more than 300 species of that animal in the seas.

A photographer's strobe gives a violet sheen to this translucent juvenile roundbelly cowfish off the coast of Kona, Hawaii.

It is a marine animal; its stomach is filled with green seaweeds!!!!!

Another marine animal has got the ability to make these glowing lights to frighten enemies.
Another amazing jellyfish Glowing in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, this transparent jellyfish seems to inhabit another world. From the Arctapodema genus, the transparent jellyfish's grandeur is more remarkable given its inch-long (2.5-centimeter-long) size.

Tiny marine snails known as sea butterflies take many forms, including heart-shaped, such as this species in Antarctica's Weddell Sea.

Finally we say Glory to Allah who is the creator of every thing, God says: (He to whom belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and who has begotten no son (children or offspring) and for whom there is no partner in the dominion. He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements.)(Sûrat Al-Furqân- verse2).

Beautiful woman, Who wanted to get married

There was this beautiful woman, who wanted to get married, but she wanted a very pious husband, so she said that she’ll marry the man who recites the whole Quran every single day, fasts for the whole year and stays awake and worships Allah all throughout the night.

She was a very beautiful woman, and a lot of suitors wanted to marry her, but they knew they couldn’t fulfil the conditions she set. Until this one man stepped forward and said he could fulfil them. So the Imam got both of them married.

After the first night of the marriage, the wife sees that the husband doesn’t recite the whole of the Quran, nor does he fast, nor does he stay awake in the worship of Allah, she decided to let it roll on for a few weeks to see if there were any changes, there weren’t, so she filed a complaint and asked for a divorce.

They are both taken in front of the judge, and the judge asked, ‘What were the conditions of the marriage?’ the man replied ‘They were for me to recite the whole Quran daily, keep fast for the whole year and to worship Allah all throughout the night.’

The Judge asked, ‘ did you fulfil them? The man calmly answered, ‘…yes.’

The judge answers, ‘you lie, your wife has said that you don’t, that’s why she’s asking for a divorce’.

But the man insisted that he had fulfilled the conditions, so the judge asked, ‘did you recite the full Quran everyday?’ The man answered yes. The Judge, baffled asked, ‘how? How can you do that?’
The man coolly answered, ‘I recite Surah Ikhlas three times a day and according to Prophet Muhammad (saw), reciting Surah Ikhlas three times is equivalent to reciting the whole Quran.’

The Judge was intrigued, so he asked, ‘how did you fast the whole year?’

The man answered, ‘ I fasted for the whole month of Ramadan, then kept another six fasts in the month of Shawwal, according to Prophet Muhammad (saw), keeping all of the fast of Ramadan then keeping six fasts in the month of Shawwal, is as if you have fasted for the whole year.’

The Judge remained silent, he couldn’t give a reply saying the man was wrong, so finally he asked, ‘ how did you stay awake all night and worship Allah, when your wife saw you sleeping?’ The Judge thought the man wouldn’t be able to answer this one,

But the man, cool as a cucumber answered, ‘I prayed Salatul Isha with jamaat, then the next day prayed Salatul Fajr with jamaat, according to Prophet Muhammad (saw), the one who prays Salatul Isha and Salatul Fajr with jamaat, it is as if he had stayed up all night worshipping Allah.’

The Judge sat there looking at the man; the final verdict was about to be released…

He said to the man and his wife, ‘…go, just go, there is nothing wrong with this marriage’…

Salahudin Al-Ayubi

Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (Arabic: صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب, Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, Kurdish: سه‌لاحه‌دین ئه‌یوبی, Selah'edînê Eyubî) (ca. 1138 – March 4, 1193), better known in the Western world as Saladin, was a Kurdish Muslim, who became the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria, and founded the Ayyubid dynasty. He led Muslim opposition to the Franks and other European Crusaders in the Levant. At the height of his power, his sultanate included Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Hejaz, Yemen, and parts of North Africa.

Under his personal leadership, his forces defeated the Crusaders at the Battle of Hattin, leading the way to his re-capture of Palestine, which had been seized from the Fatimid Egyptians by the Crusaders 88 years earlier. Though the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem would continue to exist for a period, its defeat at Hattin marked a turning point in its conflict with the Muslims and Arabs. As such, Saladin is a prominent figure in Kurdish, Arab, and Muslim culture. Saladin was a strict adherent of Sunni Islam.[5] His noble and chivalrous behavior was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the Siege of Kerak, and despite being the nemesis of the Crusaders, he won the respect of many of them, including Richard the Lionheart; rather than becoming a hated figure in Europe, he became a celebrated example of the principles of chivalry

Muslim world

In 1898 German Emperor Wilhelm II visited Saladin's tomb to pay his respects. The visit, coupled with anti-colonial sentiments, led nationalist Arabs to reinvent the image of Saladin and portray him as a hero of the struggle against the West. The image of Saladin they used was the romantic one created by Walter Scott and other Europeans in the West at the time. It replaced Saladin's reputation as a figure who had been largely forgotten in the Muslim world, eclipsed by more successful figures such as Baybars of Egypt

Modern Arab states have sought to commemorate Saladin through various measures, often based on the image created of him in the 19th century west[citation needed]. A governorate centered around Tikrit and Samarra in modern-day Iraq, Salah ad Din Governorate, is named after him, as is Salahaddin University in Arbil, the largest city of Iraqi Kurdistan. A suburb community of Arbil, Masif Salahaddin, is also named after him.

Few structures associated with Saladin survive within modern cities. Saladin first fortified the Citadel of Cairo (1175–1183), which had been a domed pleasure pavilion with a fine view in more peaceful times. In Syria, even the smallest city is centred on a defensible citadel, and Saladin introduced this essential feature to Egypt.

Although the Ayyubid dynasty that he founded would only outlive him by 57 years, the legacy of Saladin within the Arab World continues to this day. With the rise of Arab nationalism in the Twentieth Century, particularly with regard to the Arab-Israeli conflict, Saladin's heroism and leadership gained a new significance. Saladin's recapture of Palestine from the European Crusaders is considered inspiration for the modern-day Arabs' opposition to Zionism.

Moreover, the glory and comparative unity of the Arab World under Saladin was seen as the perfect symbol for the new unity sought by Arab nationalists, such as Gamal Abdel Nasser. For this reason, the Eagle of Saladin became the symbol of revolutionary Egypt, and was subsequently adopted by several other Arab states (United Arab Emirates, Iraq, the Palestinian Territory, and Yemen).

Western world


His fierce struggle against the crusaders was where Saladin achieved a great reputation in Europe as a chivalrous knight, so much so that there existed by the fourteenth century an epic poem about his exploits. Though Saladin faded into history after the Middle Ages, he appears in a sympathetic light in Sir Walter Scott's novel The Talisman (1825). It is mainly from this novel that the contemporary view of Saladin originates. According to Jonathan Riley-Smith, Scott's portrayal of Saladin was that of a "modern [19th Century] liberal European gentlemen, beside whom medieval Westerners would always have made a poor showing."[100] Despite the Crusaders' slaughter when they originally conquered Jerusalem in 1099, Saladin granted amnesty and free passage to all common Catholics and even to the defeated Christian army, as long as they were able to pay the aforementioned ransom (the Greek Orthodox Christians were treated even better, because they often opposed the western Crusaders). An interesting view of Saladin and the world in which he lived is provided by Tariq Ali's novel The Book of Saladin.[101] Notwithstanding the differences in beliefs, the Muslim Saladin was respected by Christian lords, Richard especially. Richard once praised Saladin as a great prince, saying that he was without doubt the greatest and most powerful leader in the Islamic world.[102] Saladin in turn stated that there was not a more honorable Christian lord than Richard. After the treaty, Saladin and Richard sent each other many gifts as tokens of respect, but never met face to face.

In April 1191, a Frankish woman's three month old baby had been stolen from her camp and had been sold on the market. The Franks urged her to approach Saladin herself with her grievance. According to Bahā' al-Dīn, Saladin used his own money to buy the child back:

He gave it to the mother and she took it; with tears streaming down her face, and hugged the baby to her chest. The people were watching her and weeping and I (Ibn Shaddad) was standing amongst them. She suckled it for some time and then Saladin ordered a horse to be fetched for her and she went back to camp.

At the end of World War I British Commander General Edmund Allenby had succeeded in capturing Damascus from Turkish troops . According to some sources, after his triumphal entry into the city, Allenby raised his sword in salute to the famous statue of Saladin and proudly declared "Today the wars of the Crusaders are completed." This quotation was incorrectly attributed to Allenby, and throughout his life he vehemently protested against his conquest of Palestine in 1917 having been called a "Crusade". In 1933 Allenby reiterated this stance by saying: "The importance of Jerusalem lay in its strategic importance, there was no religious impulse in this campaign".[104] Never the less, as if to thumb their nose at Allenby the British press continued to celebrate his victory over the Ottoman Empire by printing cartoons of Richard the Lionheart looking down on Jerusalem from the heavens with the caption reading "At last my dream has come true."

After marching into Damascus in July 1920 to put down an anti-colonial rising, French General Henri Gouraud is reputed have stood at Saladin's grave, kicked it and said: "The Crusades have ended now! Awake Saladin, we have returned! My presence here consecrates the victory of the Cross over the Crescent." There are a number of accounts of this, but the anecdote seems of fairly recent provenance.

Islam online 

This is Islam

Islam means “submission to God”. Islam is the belief that there is only One God, whose proper name is Allah, which means “ the God”. Islam is the same message given to all the prophets, from Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, and finally to the Prophet Muhammad, the last messenger (peace and blessings be upon them). They all brought the same message: worship only God, and stop worshipping human beings and their ideas.

Become a Muslim Now

If you believe there is only One God who should be worshipped, and no one/nothing else has that right but Him, and you believe Muhammad, peace be upon him, was a messenger who brought the same message as all the prophets before him, then you are basically a Muslim.

Do Not Hesitate

If someone receives the message of Islam and dies rejecting it, they are forever destined to Hellfire. Anyone who truly believes in the message of Islam, their previous sins are forgiven and they will spend eternity in Paradise . If you have belief, act on it. Do not worry about what anyone else thinks. Your eternal life is at stake.

To become a Muslim, simply declare the following:

Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illallaah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh.

I testify there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, and I testify Muhammad is His slave and messenger.

WHO ARE THE INHERITORS OF PARADISE?

1 Successful indeed are the believers. 

2 Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. 

3 And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that ALLAH has forbidden). 

4 And those who pay the Zakat . 

5 And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) 

6 Except from their wives or that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame; 

7 But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors; 

8 Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which ALLAH has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts etc.) and to their covenants; 

9 And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawat (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours). 

10 THESE AR INDEED THE INHERITORS. 

11 WHO SHALL INHERIT FIRDAUS (PARADISE). They shall dwell therein forever.

Innovation in Religion

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful


Shaykh Jalladin Muhammad Salah


[Note: This article was published in the magazine Al Manar. Insh'allah this article will be useful to the brothers and sisters. For the brothers nformation the Sheikh graduated with a Phd from Madina University, College of Aqida, after completing 20 years of study. At present he teaches at Al Muntada Al Islami. Also,. the translation in places was very difficult so if there are any errors in the text this is from the translators not from Sh. Jalladin.]


Innovation in Islaam is the invention, creation or addition of any religious matter which was not (originally) found in Islaam. Therefore, Islaam warns against it and invalidates any religious deed which does not originate from the Qur'aan and the Sunnah. Prophet Mohammad, salla Allaahu 'alaihe wasallam, says in this respect: "He who innovates something that is not in agreement with our matter (religion), will have it rejected." [Al-Bukharee and Muslim] This is because innovation in religion is an opposition to Islaam; it implies that our religion is incomplete and imperfect with regards to the matters of worship. Shaikh Ibn 'Uthaimeen says: " Innovation entails the adoption of dangerous ways":


1. It entails the refutation of Allaah's words; "this day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islaam as your religion." Therefore, any innovation introduced into the religion implies that Islaam is imperfect and incomplete.


2. It necessitates the slandering of the Sharee'ah (Islamic Law); that is, it was incomplete and the innovator has therefore completed it.


3. It requires the slander of Muslims who are not innovators, since by implication whoever came before these innovations, their religion is incomplete; and this is dangerous.


4. Most people who were preoccupied with innovation, neglected the Sunnah. The Salaf (our predecessor Muslims) who were adherents to Islaam, said: "Whenever a people introduce a Bid'ah (an innovation), they destroyed its counterpart in the Sunnah."


5. These innovations also, bring about division among Muslims because the innovators believe that they are the ones who carry the truth and that those who do not follow them are mislead. However, the people of truth claim: 


"you are the ones (the innovators) who are on the wrong path and hence this is their division".
There are serious deviations which result from innovation, for innovation is connected with 'a rotten mind and flawed religion'. (Al-Muhaadaraat As-Saniyyah on the interpretation of Al-'Aqeedah Al-Wasitiyyah, 2/713).


The Emergence of Innovation


Innovation (in Islaam) was initiated as a result of bad intention, for a man opposed the Prophet, salla Allaahu 'alaihe wasallam, and said to him 'be fair because you were not'. Consequently, several men followed this man and became dissidents (Al-Khawaarij). Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said in this respect:


 "The principles of innovation were based on the refutation of Sunnah principles using doubt and whims, like Iblees (Satan) when he doubted Allaah's commands according to his whims." (Majmoo' Al-Fataawa, 3/286-287)


Peculiar to the innovators are their ignorant view of Allaah, increasing divisions and severe hatred. Ibn Al-Qayyim, rahimahu Allaah, said about the innovators: "If you look at innovators you will find that they are different, divided into sects and as far as worshipping is concerned, you will not find that two of them are adopting the same method. They would introduce innovations to each other. More than that, you will find that their innovations culminate into disbelief. For instance, you will find the son accusing his father of disbelief, the brother accusing his brother of disbelief, and the neighbour accusing his neighbour of disbelief. They are in constant conflict and hate each other, their differences cost them their lives and their discourse has never been common." (Mukhtasar Al-Sawaa'iq Al-Mursalah, 2/425).


Therefore, their divisions paradoxically unites them on the hatred of the Sunnah and its people, so woe to the innovators in what their hands have earned. Their evil deeds overshadow all evil, and the damage they have inflicted upon the Muslim Ummah is bigger than that caused by sinners. Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah says: 


"The leaders of innovation inflict more damage upon the Ummah than sinners. That is why the Prophet, salla Allaahu 'alaihe wasallam, ordered the killing of the Khawaarij and warned against the killing of the unjust followers." (Majmoo' Al-Fataawa 7/284)


With the foregoing in mind, we must confront the innovators, point out their deviations and protect the Ummah from their evil acts by spreading the religious science and the principles of Ahlus-Sunna Wal-Jamaa'ah's 'Aqeedah (creed) and by advising people how to acquire it (i.e. Aqeedah) from its people. 'Abdullaah Ibn Mas'ood says: "seek knowledge before it is seized, and it's seizure means the disappearance of scholars. Do not delve deeply into knowledge, do not innovate and stick to the old (i.e. the authentic)." [Ad-Daarimee]


However, it is not fair to label anything new as innovation because it might be unknown or misinterpreted. This has been explained by Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah: "what has been proved abominable, based on the Qur'aan and the Sunnah, whether it be innovations or non- innovations, when said or practiced by a person, this person may have some excuse due to his Ijtihaad (individual judgment over amatter, if he is a scholar) or permissible Taqleed (immitation) of a scholar when this person is an 'Aaammee (Islamically uneducated) (Majmoo' Al-Fataawa, 10/371-372).


We should bear in mind that innovators are not equal in knowledge, ignorance, competence, approval, belief and hypocrisy. This has been explained by Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah: "Among the innovators, there are the hypocrite and the atheist; these are non-believers. This type of people is found more among the Rafidites (a Shiate sect) and Al-Jahamiyyah (a sect who denies Allaah's attributes, among other serious deviations). Their leaders were known to be hypocrites and atheists. However, among those who innovate is that who is a believer but has some degree of ignorance and injustice which has led him to deviate from the Sunnah. Such person is not a Kaafir (a disbeliever) nor a hypocrite. He may be sinful or disobedient but he might as well be forgiven and excused because he has mistakenly misinterpreted the issue." (Majmoo' Al-Fataawa 3/353)


Renouncing the innovators and boycotting their innovation
In safeguarding the interests of the Muslim community against the damages of the innovators, Islaam approved and legalized the renouncement and boycotting of the innovators. The Salaf, Ridwanu Allaahi 'Alaihim, adopted this method in the fight against innovation and renounced the innovators in order to safeguard the Sharee'ah. However, in order not to fight an innovation with another, their renouncement was based on faith and adherence to the Qur'aan and the Sunnah. "Renouncement should not be adopted unless there is reasonable grounds for it and this entails the following:


a. To be sure of the existence of innovation and avoid hearsay. This is to say that one should listen to what the innovator says or does, or read what he has written, particularly in our era which lacks piety.


b. To fight the type of innovation which is agreed upon. This is to say that matters on which the scholars have different views whether they are innovations or not should not be renounced.


c. To clarify the issue to the person who says or practices an inovation before calling him an innovator. This person may be excused because he was not aware of the evidence he is opposing, or may have understood it mistakenly. This clarification can only be achieved through advising him and calling him to the Qur'aan and the Sunnah with kindness." [Haqeeqatu Al-Bid'ah Wa Ahkaamuhaa (The Reality of Innovation and Its Principles, 2/339)]

A Heart Touching Story

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year - old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. 

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.”

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence. 

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?”

Just as sweetly, the boy responded,: “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A parent is the best of the gates of Paradise; so if you wish, keep to the gate, or lose it.” Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4928. Narrated by Abud Darda “

A Blind Boys Story

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.

He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help."

There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."

I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were blessed that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling.
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it

An air conditioner inside bee

Chapter: 47 , Verse: 15 

The example of the Paradise which the cautious have been promised in it, there are rivers of unstaling water, and rivers of milk that never change in flavor, and rivers of wine, delectable to the drinkers, and rivers of pure, filtered honey. They shall have therein of every fruit and forgiveness from their Lord. Are they then like he who shall live in the Fire for ever and given boiling water to drink that tears his bowels apart!

Chapter: 16 , Verse: 69

Eat every kind of fruit, and follow the easy ways of your Lord. ' From its belly comes forth a drink (honey) of many hues in which there is healing for people. Surely, in this there is a sign for a nation who reflect.
It's really amazing to find the best air conditioner in the world inside a small bee!! Without that conditioner bee would die and becomes incapable to produce honey…

Recently, scientists discovered that inside the bee there is a very complicated system to organize its temperature; we think the bee is an irrational creature but in fact it can detect the ambient temperature to adjust its own which is normally from 28 to 32 degree centigrade, that is so important to keep life of small bees. Any increase or decrease in temperature more or less the average will cause the death of small bees. Glory to Allah!!!

If temperature increases more than 32C, bee starts to shake its wings in order to fan and cool the small bees. And if temperature became less than 28C bees vibrate their wing muscles to shunt heat down to their abdomen, According to Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology magazine the scientists had performed an experiment by reducing the temperature around the bee by ten degrees and despite that, bees had easily raised their temperature to about 30c.

"You can see them shiver to transfer the heat," says Sean O'Donnell of the University of Washington in the US.

Glory to Allah!! How can this small creature adjust its temperature? and who taught her that mechanism?

Scientists have no answer about that precise mechanism which adjusts the temperature of bees. Those scientists may say that the mechanism is done by nature or evolution but Allah almighty told us about mechanism in bees in saying: (And your Lord inspired the bees, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.*Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think.)(Sûrat An-Nahl- verse68-69).

From that verse we can conclude the following:

1. The word "inspired" means that Allah almighty is the only one who taught the bee everything not the nature or evolution.

2. Also, Allah almighty says "inspired" which is in the past which means that He almighty did that and no one in the future will be able to change what He almighty did.

3. By that inspiration He almighty enabled the bee to live on earth to serve human by producing Honey.

Therefore, scientists confirm that without this precise system for temperature detection and organizing bees wouldn't be able to live on earth and produce honey.

Cara Membahagiakan Ibu Bapa

Setiap anak wajib berbakti dan mentaati ibu bapa bertujuan membahagiakan kehidupan mereka melalui hari tua. Ajaran Islam meletakkan ibu bapa pada kedudukan yang mulia.
Banyak bakti yang boleh dilakukan kepada ibu bapa. Bakti itu dalam bentuk metarial dan hubungan kasih sayang. Ini bersesuaian dengan fizikal ibu bapa yang semakin uzur dan memerlukan lebih perhatian.

Terdapat sekurang-kurangnya 10 bakti perlu dilakukan setiap anak terhadap ibu bapa.

1.Memberi nafkah. Terdapat ibu bapa yang berdepan dengan masalah kewangan. Mereka tidak dapat lagi melakukan tugas seharian disebabkan faktor usia. Kalaupun berkerja, tetapi tidak mencukupi untuk menampung perbelanjaan keluarga yang semakin meningkat.

Justeru menjadi tanggungjawab anak memberi nafkah atau bantuan kewangan kepada ibu bapa. Sumbangan itu tidak seberapa berbanding yang dibelanjakan ibu bapa untuk membesar dan mendidik anak.

2.Menyediakan tempat tinggal. Dalam kes ibu bapa yang hilang tempat tinggal, atau tidak sesuai untuk didiami, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab anak menyediakan tempat tinggal yang lebih sesuai kepada ibu bapa.

Paling baik jika ibu bapa dibawa tinggal bersama agar dapat menjamin keselamatan dan keperluan harian mereka diuruskan dengan baik.

3.Memberi kasih sayang. Kasih sayang adalah sebagai membalas kasih sayang yang selama ini telah dicurahkan ibu bapa. Kasih sayang ibu dan bapa tidak pernah padam terhadap anaknya. Jadi seharusnya kasih sayang itu dibalas dengan sebaik-baiknya.

Anak yang baik tidak melupai jasa dan kasih sayang kedua ibu bapa. Anak soleh sentiasa memohon kepada Allah agar ibu bapa mereka diberkati dan dicucuri rahmat.

Firman Allah bermaksud: ?Wahai Tuhanku! Cucurilah rahmat kepada mereka berdua sebagaimana mereka mencurahkan kasih sayang memelihara dan mendidikku ketika kecil.? (Surah al-Isra, ayat 24).

4.Memberi perhatian. Ibu bapa yang diabaikan akan merasai kesunyian. Mereka terasa disisih dan dan seperti tidak diperdulikan. Hal ini memberi tekanan perasaan dan menyebabkan kemurungan. Keadaan ini jika berterusan memberi kesan kepada kesihatan fizikal dan mental ibu bapa.

Penerapan amalan memberi perhatian terhadap ibu bapa perlu disemai, dibajai serta disuburkan dalam kehidupan masyarakat kita. Kes anak yang membuang ibu bapa semakin meningkat. Anak memandang jijik terhadap ibu bapa sendiri.

Banyak ibu bapa yang disisihkan dan dihantar ke rumah rumah penjagaan orang-orang tua. Sukar diterima akal anak mendakwa tidak mampu menjaga ibu bapa. Sedangkan, ibu bapa mampu menjaga dan membesarkan beberapa orang anak.

5.Memenuhi permintaan. Ibu bapa seringkali memerlukan bantuan anak untuk melaksanakan sesuatu keperluan. Permintaan itu mungkin dalam bentuk kewangan, tenaga dan masa.

Memenuhi permintaan ibu bapa perlu diutamakan berbanding melakukan tugas lain. Sesungguhnya, memenuhi permintaan ibu bapa lebih baik berbanding melakukan ibadat sembahyang sunat, berpuasa sunat, dan seumpamanya.

Malah keutamaan berbakti kepada ibu bapa lebih utama berjihad di medan perang. Diriwaytkan daripada Bukhri dan Muslim, Ibnu Umar berkata: ?Saya telah bertanya kepada Nabi Muhammad: Apakah perbuatan disukai oleh Allah??

Lalu baginda bersabda: Sembahyang pada waktunya. Kemudian apa?? tanya saya lagi. Baginda menjawab: Berbakti kepada kedua ibu bapa. Saya bertanya: Apa lagi. Jawab baginda: Berjihad pada jalan Allah.

6.Melakukan apa yang disukai. Ibu bapa sudah tentu mengharapkan anaknya melakukan sesuatu yang baik pada pandangan mereka. Melakukan perkara yang tidak sukai ibu bapa bermakna melakukan perbuatan derhaka.

Anak derhaka kepada ibu bapa tidak mendapat keberkatan dalam kehidupannya. Sesiapa derhaka kepada ibu bapa disegerakan balasan di dunia dan tidak terlepas di akhirat.

Sabda Rasulullah bermaksud: Dua kejahatan yang disegerakan balasan di dunia ialah zina dan menderhaka kepada dua ibu bapa.(Hadis riwayat Tirmizi).

Dalam hadis lain diriwayatkan al-Hakam bermaksud: Semua dosa akan ditangguhkan Allah, yakni balasan menurut kehendak-Nya hingga ke hari kiamat, kecuali balasan menderhaka kepada kedua ibu bapa. Maka sesungguhnya Allah menyegerakan balasan kepada pelakunya pada masa hidupnya sebelum mati.

7.Bercakap dengan lemah lembut. Satu cara menjaga perasaan ibu bapa ialah bercakap lemah lembut dengan mereka. Suara hendaklah direndahkan dan jangan membantah permintaan mereka.

Firman Allah bermaksud: Tuhanmu telah memerintahkan, supaya kamu tidak menyembah selain Allah, dan hendaklah berbuat santun terhadap kedua orang tua. Jika salah seorang telah lanjut usianya, atau kedua-duanya telah tua, janganlah sekali-kali engkau berani berkata cis! terhadap mereka dan janganlah engkau suka menggertak mereka. Tetapi berkatalah dengan sopan santun dan lemah lembut. (Surah al-Israk, ayat 23).

Sesungguhnya, anak ditegah membantah kata-kata ibu bapa dengan suara tinggi atau bermaksud merendahkan kedudukan ibu bapa. Lebih baik berdiam diri daripada berkata-kata yang mungkin menyinggung perasaan ibu bapa. Kemudian jika ada kesempatan, gunakan cara yang lembut untuk menjelaskan keadaan sebenar.

8.Menghadiahkan kejayaan. Ibu bapa sentiasa mengharapkan kejayaan anak mereka. Anak hendaklah berusaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk mencapai kejayaan agar dapat dikongsi kegembiraannya bersama-sama dengan ibu bapa.

Jadi, jika memperoleh kejayaan dalam pelajaran, mendapat pekerjaan, dinaikkan pangkat dan seumpamanya, seharusnya dimaklumkan kepada ibu bapa. Ibu bapa dibawa bersama-sama dalam majlis untuk meraikan kejayaan itu.

9.Meluangkan masa bersama-sama. Anak yang tinggal berasingan dengan ibu bapa perlu kerap meluangkan masa mengunjungi ibu bapa. Ibu bapa berasa senang menerima kunjungan dan menatap wajah anaknya.

10.Mendoakan kebaikan untuk ibu bapa. Anak perlu sentiasa mendoakan kebaikan untuk ibu bapanya. Amalan mendoakan kebaikan untuk ibu bapa perlu diteruskan biarpun ibu bapa telah meninggal dunia.

Sabda Rasulullah bermaksud: Apabila meninggal seseorang itu, maka terputuslah segala amalannya, melainkan tiga perkara iaitu sedekah jariah yang berterusan memberi manfaat, ilmu yang memberi kebaikan diajarkan kepada orang lain dan anak yang soleh yang sentiasa mendoakan kebaikan kepada kedua ibu bapanya. (Hadis riwayat Muslim).

Kebaikan dilakukan anak terhadap ibu bapa sebenarnya amat kecil Anak tidak mampu untuk membalas jasa ibu bapa sepenuhnya biarpun dia berbakti sepanjang hayatnya.

Gunakan kesempatan yang ada untuk melakukan bakti terhadap ibu bapa sebaik mungkin. Masa untuk anak berbakti kepada ibu bapa sebenarnya semakin suntuk. Lambat laun ibu bapa akan meninggal dunia. Bertindaklah sebelum terlambat, selagi ibu bapa atau salah seorangnya masih hidup.

Kita selalu melihat dia ketawa,tetapi mungkin sebenarnya dia tidak setabah yang kita sangkakan.Di sebalik senyumannya mungkin banyak cerita sedih yang ingin diluahkan.Di sebalik kesenangannya mungkin tersimpan seribu kekalutan..Kita tidak tahu.Tetapi jika kita cuba jadi sahabat sepertinya,mungkin kita akan tahu.
