The Suitcase

The Suitcase

A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out.
A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
– God said: Alright son its time to go.
– surprised the man responded: Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans…
– I’m sorry but its time to go.

– What do you have in that suitcase? the man asked.
– God answered: Your belongings.
– My belongings? you mean my things, my clothes, my money?
– God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.

– Is it my memories? the man asked.
– God answered: those never belonged to you they belonged to Time

– Is it my talents?
– God answered: those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.

– Is it my friends and family?
– God answered: I’m sorry they were never yours they belonged to the path.

– Is it my wife and son?
– God answered: They were never yours the belonged to your heart.

– Is it my body?
– God answered: that was never yours it belonged to the dust.

– Is it my soul?
– God answered: No that is mine.

Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find out the suitcase was empty.
– With a tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything???
– God answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were only for yours. You never lived for somebody who is not related to u in any way.

Moral:

Do something for other people who cant return the favour back to you. Life is just a moment. A moment that belongs to you.

– Live Now
– Live your life
– Don’t forget to be happy and make others happy, as that is the only thing that matters.
– Material things and everything else that you fought for stay here.
– YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING

Share this reflection with anyone you love or appreciate. Enjoy and let others Enjoy!

True believers should be genuine & never hide their identity

February 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment

mufti ismail ibn musa menk“Those who make accusations & then say “but don’t mention MY name!” have something to hide. They are either liars, troublemakers, deceivers, hypocrites or plain cowards. Such people destroy homes, cause conflict & create disunity whilst trying to be in the good books of all sides. Matters cannot be resolved when those making the claims are unknown. True believers should be genuine & never hide their identity.” (Mufti Ismail Menk. June 14, 2011)

Take me

February 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Posted on September 5, 2017 by STORIESFORMUSLIMKIDS8 Comments
In Ghana, a reporter for a Turkish newspaper was taking some video footage with a drone when it mistakenly landed in front of a poor man’s house.


The man was delighted. He picked the drone* up and as he was returning it to the journalist, he asked,”Do you have one large enough to take me for Hajj*?”
The reporter laughed. He took a photo of the man and posted the following image and the man’s question onto his Twitter page.

SubhanAllah*!
The tweet* went viral* and many people got to know about the man’s wish. All the readers saw was the sincere man’s photo and the story.  The story touched many hearts indeed. In one short question, the man was able to express a thought and desire that must have been growing inside of him for many decades.
Lo and behold, Allah* soon answered the needy man’s du’aa*! Allah enabled Turkey’s Foreign Ministry, some charities and sponsors to come forward. They donated money to the man whose name we now know. He is called Al-Hassan Abdullah. And, guess what? Al-Hassan Abdullah will perform the Hajj this year. Alhamdulillah*!

Moral:

Just imagine the dream that Al-Hassan Abdullah had. Can you picture how often and how sincerely he would have requested Allah to make this journey possible. He must have made many, many du’aa to Allah, asking Allah to make him go to Hajj.  It must have seemed impossible for Al-Hassan Abdullah, but he did not give up making du’aa. He had no money, no passport, no means to get out of his village. And yet, out of nowhere, a small aerial* messenger came and landed in front of his house, a harbinger* of bigger news.
This story reminds us of a quote from the Quran,
“…And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out.
And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him…”
(Quran; 65:2 and 65:3)

Whoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah will provide for him from where he never suspected. Du’aa is the weapon of the believer. The believer uses it to fight each and every battle, even those that seemed unwinnable. For when Allah wishes victory for you, no one can possibly defeat you. Allah will create armies for you. Allah will bring the world’s people and money to your doorstep to answer your call.

Isti’azah Dan Basmalah

February 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Istizah ialah lafaz “أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ”.
Ia juga dirakam di dalam al-Quran iaitu melalui firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud:-
“Oleh itu, apabila engkau membaca al-Quran, maka hendaklah engkau (terlebih dahulu) memohon perlindungan kepada Allah dari hasutan syaitan yang direjam.”
Surah an-Nahl 16:98

Melafazkan isti’azah sebelum membaca al-Quran ialah sunat menurut pendapat kebanyakan ulama’. Sesetengah ulama’ mengatakan hukumnya wajib.

Terdapat dua lafaz isti’azah yang boleh dibaca sebagaimana berikut:-

Lafaz isti’azah 1
Aku berlindung dengan Allah dari syaitan yang direjam
Lafaz isti’azah 2
Aku berlindung dengan Allah yang Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui dari syaitan yang direjam
Imam al-Syatibi dalam kitab matan beliau iaitu al-Hirzu al-Amaniy wa Wajhu al-Tahaniy berkata:-
“Apabila kamu membaca al-Quran, maka hendaklah kamu membaca isti’azah, secara terang agar mendapat perlindungan daripada Allah, seperti yang terdapat dalam surah an-Nahl yang mudah.

 

Jika sekiranya ditambahi lafaz tersebut, ia sebagai menyucikan nama Tuhanmu agar kamu tidak menjadi jahil.”
Ada keadaan kita perlu membaca lafaz isti’azah ini sama ada secara perlahan mahupun secara nyaring.
Antara keadaan yang memerlukan kita membaca lafaz isti’azah secara perlahan adalah:-
  • Ketika membaca al-Quran secara perlahan
  • Dalam solat fardhu ataupun sunat, tidak kira secara berjemaah atau berseorangan, dan tidak kira sebagai imam atapun makmum, selaras dengan sifat solat Rasulullah SAW
  • Ketika berada dalam kumpulan yang sedang bertadarus al-Quran

Selain daripada keadaan-keadaan yang dinyatakan di atas, maka disunatkan kita membaca lafaz isti’azah ini dengan nyaring.

Menyambung Bacaan Dengan Basmalah dan Isti’azah

Sebenarnya ada empat cara untuk membaca isti’azah dan bismillah di awal surah:-
  • Menyambung ketiga-tiga sekaligus iaitu isti’azah dan bismillah serta ayat pertama surah dengan satu nafas
  • Membacakannya satu persatu
  • Menyambung isti’azah dan bismillah dengan satu nafas dan berhenti. Kemudian membaca ayat yang pertama
  • Membaca isti’azah dan berhenti. Seterusnya membaca bismillah dan ayat pertama sekaligus dengan satu nafas

Selain itu, terdapat tiga pendapat yang berkaitan dengan cara membaca basmalah antara surah sebagaimana dibincangkan oleh ulama’ qiraat.

Pendapat Pertama:-

Tetap perlu membaca basmalah di setiap awal surah. Ini menurut qiraat Imam Ibn Kathir, riwayat Walun daripada Imam Nafi’, Imam ‘Asim, Imam al-Kisa’i dan Imam Abu Ja’afar.

Pendapat Kedua:-

Menyambung terus ayat terakhir satu surah dengan ayat pertama surah berikutnya tanpa membaca basmalah. Ini menurut Imam Hamzah dan Imam Khalaf al-‘Asyir.

Pendapat Ketiga:-

Tidak perlu membaca basmalah sama ada dengan cara sepertimana pendapat kedua ataupun dengan cara melakukan saktah (tanpa bernafas) semasa ayat terakhir satu surah dengan ayat pertama surah berikutnya. Ini menurut satu riwayat Warsy daripada Imam Nafi’, Imam Abu Amru, Imam Ibn ‘Amir dan Imam Ya’qub.
Terdapat tiga cara membaca basmalah antara dua surah iaitu:-
  • Membaca satu persatu iaitu ayat terakhir surah dan berhenti. Kemudian membaca basmalah dan berhenti. Seterusnya membaca ayat pertama surah berikutnya.
  • Menyambung ketiga-tiganya (ayat terakhir surah, basmalah dan ayat pertama surah berikutnya) sekaligus dengan satu nafas.
  • Berhenti pada akhir surah. Seterusnya membaca basmalah dan ayat pertama surah berikutnya sekaligus dalam satu nafas.

Walau bagaimanapun, ada satu lagi cara yang mungkin dilakukan iaitu membaca ayat terakhir surah dan basmalah sekaligus dengan satu nafas. Kemudian membaca ayat pertama surah berikutnya.

Namun, cara ini ditegah kerana boleh membawa kekeliruan.

Orang yang mendengar mungkin tersalah anggap bahawa basmalah itu ialah ayat terakhir surah itu.

Di antara Surah al-Anfal dan Surah at-Taubah

Istimewanya, di antara kedua-dua surah ini, kita tidak boleh membacakan basmalah jika membaca sehingga ayat terakhir surah al-Anfal dan menyambung ke surah at-Taubah pula.
Terdapat tiga cara membaca secara bersambungan antara surah al-Anfal dan surah at-Taubah:-
  • Berhenti di akhir surah al-Anfal. Kemudian membaca ayat pertama surah at-Taubah
  • Melakukan saktah iaitu berhenti tanpa bernafas dengan kadar dua harakat antara ayat terakhir surah al-Anfal dan ayat pertama at-Taubah
  • Menyambung terus kedua-dua ayat dengan satu nafas.

Saturday Night Lecture Series

February 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Her Majesty Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Raja Zarith Sofiah Binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah, Permaisuri Johor and the Chancellor of UTM has kindly grace Saturday Night Lecture series organised by CASIS, Centre for Advanced Studies on Islam, Science and Civilisation, a centre of excellence in UTM, in collaboration with Yayasan Raja Zarith Sofiah, Yayasan Ta’dib and HAKIM which was organised on 10 February 2018 at UTM Kuala Lumpur.

 

Saturday Night Lecture series started almost 30 years ago at the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC), founded and directed by YM Tan Sri Prof. Dr. Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, a world renowned Malay thinker and reformer. The Lecture was his deliberation of the great ideas contained in many of his books which were read by contemporary Muslim scholars all over the world. The lecture series at ISTAC was abruptly suspended in 2002 due to certain unfortunate circumstances and it was only resumed in 2012 when Tan Sri al-Attas was appointed as distinguished visiting professor of CASIS UTM. He then delivered the lecture series for a period of 3 years.

Saturday Night Lecture series is about honouring a great scholar of Islam. It is a celebration of knowledge and scholarship. Saturday Night Lecture series reflects the culture of knowledge that is lacking in many parts of the Muslim World. It brings people together, from all walks of life, not only for the sake of personal quest for beneficial knowledge but also to find answers  and solutions to the contemporary problems facing the ummah.

Saturday Night Lecture series will be recorded in history, perhaps, as the longest lecture series ever held in the Malay World, which has received tremendous support from various interested and learned parties; its audience includes academics, diplomats, politicians, administrators, public servants, professionals, educators activists and students alike regardless of age.

The lectures discuss fundamental elements constituting the worldview of Islam, epistemic frameworks, the civilisational challenges confronting the ummah internally and externally, and provide intellectual means and solutions on how to address them.
