Al Jawab Al Kaafi Kelas Hari Selasa Masjid Hidayah

Review

Impact of sin in a collective level.

Hassan Al Basri once had said “ Verily Al Fitnah (discord in society) is sort of punishment from Allah…

Baghdad was once known as a main hub of Islamic civilization. During those time the knowledge of Islam and science flourished in a tremendous and elegant way that no civilization prior to it had ever achieved. Furthermore, for us as Muslim, we more or less are supposed to have a deep attachment to Baghdad as it is the grave of many well-known scholar and ulamak in Islamic sciences, where most of the knowledge that we adhere this day is solely come from their effort and sacrifice.

But still in spite of all the glory and fame, today Baghdad is facing the most dreadful moment in Islamic history. Today this so-called blessed place is virtually nothing but ruins and scattered debris. The army of kufar is now marching on the very grave of auliyak and ulama, dragging Islam to the lowest level that is beyond our imagination. Strife prevails and peace is just a dream.

Sedih bile mengenangkan tanah suci itu sekarang menjadi medan perang.

When people disobey and done injustice against Allah, Allah will unleash someone that doesn’t know Him and no mercy at you-prophet Daniel

If any one of you( Muslim) done an injustice to the the zimmi ( non believer) I will be the prosecutor against you in the hereafter-marhum hadith

From this saying, when zunub is done in a collective level, Allah will select among them a leader that will inflict injustice as a punishment to them. The reason why Allah choose cruel leader are twofold

1) Only injustice ruler can execute cruelty to the people. A just ruler is not meant to be the cause to inflict injustice to his people

2) The act of injustice by the leader is itself is a cause for him to receive greater punishment in the hereafter.

after a long hiatus...

auzhubillahi mina shaitani rajim
bismillahi rahmani rahim
alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin
wassolatu wassalamu ala rasulillah


After such a long hiatus from the world of blogging, alhamdu lillah today I had the chance to go online for a while to post something. I was reading a few blogs today and yesterday, and saw a poem from brother Zuhdi's blog -

Jika hati sejernih air, jangan biar ia keruh
Jika hati seputih awan, jangan biar ia mendung
Jika hati seindah bulan, hiasi ia dengan iman

[translation]
If your heart is as clear as water, let it not become murky
If your heart is as white as clouds, let it not become cloudy (any better word for mendung? :))
If your heart is as beautiful as the moon, decorate it with the light of iman


Incidentally, while I was in the surau (something like a masjid, but in Malaysia a surau is a smaller masjid) I had written something about qalb as well -

Hati
Retak
Bengkak
Pecah
.

Jangan sampai Mati
Tanpa Mandi
Hanya kafan hitam membaluti.

[translation]

Qalb
Cracked
Bruised
Broken to pieces
.

Do not wait for its death
without ghusl
only black shroud as cover.

Unfortunately, we all wish to have hearts like Zuhdi's poem: clear/transparent, white, and beautiful, like the hearts of those nearest to Allah and beloved by Him.. yet at least for my own poor self, only the opposite is true.

----

O Allah, send our greetings of peace and blessing upon Your beloved slave, the one whose face is like the full bright moon, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, and provide forgiveness and purification for us sinning, broken beings.
