Ramadhan. Sekurang-kurangnya 3 perkara.

Assalamualaikum wrb. Alhamdulillah. Setinggi-tinggi kesyukuran dipanjatkan kehadrat Illahi kerana dengan izinNya, kita semua bernafas, tersenyum pada hari ini. Selawat dan salam kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW, Rasul ummat kita, juga pada keluarga baginda dan sahabat-sahabat baginda kerana dengan usaha mereka beserta keizinan Allah kita dapat menikmati dua nikmat yang terbesar iaitu IMAN dan ISLAM. Alhamdulillah.

Bulan Ramadhan setahun sekali,
Kini tinggal 5 hari lagi,
Mohon maaf lama menyepi,
Mengumpul kekuatan untuk mengisi.

Menahan lapar dahaga ujian puasa,
Menanam sabar juga mendidik hati,
Bulan puasa hentian bekalan kita,
Bekalan hadapi hari-hari menanti.

Ya Rabb! Sangatlah teruk pantun. :D

Perkongsian kali ini seperti tajuk di atas, Ramadhan. Sekurang-kurangnya 3 perkara.

(1) Iktikaf
(2) Lailatul Qadar
(3) Munajat & Doa

Iktikaf ni ada bulan Ramadhan je sebab iktikaf ni syaratnya BERPUASA. Rasulullah memperbanyakkan iktikaf pada 10 malam terakhir. Iktikaf di masjid bagi lelaki, dan ruang ibadat bagi perempuan. Tapi ulama' telah berbahas dan membenarkan wanita pon untuk beriktikaf di masjid dengan syarat tidak membawa fitnah & mendapat keizinan suami (bagi yang sudah berkahwin). =)

Daripada Ibnu Umar r.a. katanya:

كان رسول الله يعتكف العشر الأواخر من رمضان

Maksudnya “Bahawa Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam beriktikaf pada sepuluh terakhir Ramadhan” HR Bukhari dan Muslim

Apa yang dilakukan waktu iktikaf??? Solat tahiyyatul masjid (sunat 2 rakaat masuk2 masjid), solat2 sunat, munajat, zikir, tadarus alQuran... ^.^

Lailatul Qadar ialah 1 malam yang sangat3 mulia yang ada pada bulan Ramadhan sahaja. Allah berfirman dalam surah Al Qadr- "The night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months." Al Qadr97:3

Allah merahsiakan tarikh Lailatul Qadar untuk kita bersungguh2 mencarinya. Kesungguhan kita mencari malam lailatul qadar sepatutnya sama macam kesungguhan kita berdoa. Sebab apa? Bila berdoa, kita tidak pasti sama ada doa kita akan dimakbulkan ataupun tidak kan? Tapi dah Allah kata "berdoalah padaku, Akan ku makbulkan" - Al Baqarah:186.

Begitu juga bila kita beramal di malam-malam terakhir bulan Ramadhan untuk mencari Lailatul Qadar. Kita tidak pasti sama ada kita dapat ke tidak Lailatul Qadar tu tapi kita berusaha sungguh-sungguh juga. Sebab nak dapat. Macam doa tadi. ;-)

Munajat & Doa adalah amalan yang SANGAT2 perlu diperbanyakkan. Secebis dari hadis riwayat Imam Ibnu Huzaimah, khutbah Nabi dihujung Sya'ban menjelang Ramadhan.

Banyakkanlah 4 perkara; 2 mencari redha Allah, 2 nak bagi kita cukup

Cari redha Allah dengan (i) kesaksian pada Allah (La Ilaha Illa Allah) & (ii) Istighfar memohon keampunan.

Nak bagi kita cukup dengan (i) mohon syurga Allah (Allahumma inna asaluka al jannah). (ii) perlindungan dari api neraka (a'uzubika minna an nar).

Ok. Banyak dah. Itu setakat ini. InshaAllah jumpa lagi.

25 Ramadhan 1434H

Blooming Flowers

Bismillah. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

How are you all friends and readers? I apologized on behalf of the admins for the long silence once again. The world have caught up on us and since we are still young and inexperienced, it is hard for us to live up to all the ups and downs of it. Though tired as it is, we hope that all of you readers and friends are lively and living the life to seek HIS mercy and love.

Today is just a small sharing inspired from Disney's Original Movie 'MULAN'. As a quick summary for those who have not watched it or may have forgotten it, MULAN is a story based in China on how a young girl who have somehow dissapointed her family in a matchmaking decided to go into the army in her father's place all to avoid her father getting hurt and to bring good name to the family. So the stories goes on and she saved China. Near the end, the Emperor says to the Commanding Officer (who fell in love with Mulan and whom Mulan fallen in love with):

THE FLOWER THAT BLOOMS IN ADVERSITY IS THE MOST RARE AND BEAUTIFUL OF ALL.

So I've fallen for this quote and I want to share it. So let's go through the meaning literally first. Flower refers to girls/ladies/women, blooms refers to growing, adversity means difficulties, most rare means difficult to find. Beautiful you all already know the meaning. As a whole this verse means that girls/ladies/women who grow up facing difficulties and hardship are really valuable and most pretty comparing to others.

To all the girls/ladies/women out there, don't worry if you r facing sooooo many difficulties and hardship, inshaAllah by His will and your patience, you'll become a rare and beautiful flower. And to all the other side, how about seeking this type by preparing yourself to be able to reach them.

"Dunia adalah perhiasan dan sebaik-baik perhiasan dunia adalah wanita yang solehah." - HR Muslim
