Cinta Kepada-MU

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Dengan Nama Allah yang Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang

Alhamdulillah dengan izin-Nya dapat saya menghirup oksigen lagi pada hari ini, bernafas dengan menikmati iman dan Islam yang dikurniakan-Nya pada saya. Bagi saya,itulah tanda kebesaran-Nya dan kewujudan-Nya yang tidak dapat disangkal oleh siapa-siapa pun.

Dalam post kali ini, ingin saya membicarakan tentang cinta, ‘love’ yang sering jadi buah mulut masyarakat sekarang ini terutamanya dalam kalangan remaja. ‘What is love actually?’ –I have been wondering the same question ever since I was twelve years old. Ever since I found out that some of my friends got addicted with coupling syndrome.

Love..what is love?

Menurut Imam al-Ghazali, cinta itu ialah kecenderungan jiwa yang amat kuat dalam diri seseorang kepada sesuatu atau seseorang yang lain yang boleh memberi kelazatan, manfaat dan sangat serasi dengan fitrahnya (tabiat).

Apakah fitrah manusia? Setiap manusia sangat menyenangi kesempurnaan (al-Kamal) dan keindahan (al-Jamal). Justeru, siapakah lagi Maha Sempurna dan Maha Indah selain Allah? Sudah tentu bukan ‘boyfriend’ atau ‘girlfriend’ yang kita baru sahaja kenal. Sebaliknya, hanya Allah yang layak menjadi tujuan kecintaan sekalian manusia.
Mengapa kita perlu cintakan Allah?

The answer to that question is very simple. It is because Allah loves us. Allah sayang pada KITA disebabkan itulah ‘He created us’...Daripada tiada kepada ada. Setiap hari kita memerlukan Allah untuk menikmati kehidupan bersumberkan segala nikmat dan rahmat yang diberi-Nya. Why do we fall in love with someone? Mungkin kerana cantik, baik atau banyak budinya terhadap kita. Jikalau begitu, kita sepatutnya sandarkan perasaan cinta itu kepada Allah S.W.T. Pencipta kita. Hal ini kerana, Allah lah yang paling banyak berbudi pada kita, menciptakan kita daripada tiada kepada ada, sentiasa mengingati kita, memberi nafas (nyawa) kepada kita setiap saat..

Pernahkah anda terfikir.. ..???

What if...what if...Allah forgets to give life to us tomorrow?

Do we still can talk to our family and friends like we used to?

No...!!

Impossible!

Allah is our Creator. He is the reason why we are here in this earth...Without Him, we are nothing...we could not even breath if He doesn’t allowed it.
Therefore, it is crystal clear that we should love Allah-our God to the fullest.

However,

There are people who find it hard to love Allah....Why is this so? Kejahilan dan kedegilan..kejahilan dan kedegilan merupakan dua elemen utama yang menjadi penghalang untuk seseorang itu mencintai Allah.

Akibat jahil, kita tidak kenal kebaikan, keindahan dan kesempurnaan Allah. Padahal hukum cinta telah termaktub-tak kenal maka tak cinta. Jahil dalam konteks ini bermaksud tertutupnya pintu hati untuk mengenal Allah. Kenal dengan hati, tahu dengan akal. Ramai manusia sudah maklum tentang keindahan dan kesempurnaan Allah dengan akalnya. Mereka belajar, mengaji dan menuntut ilmu tauhid. Malangnya ilmu itu tidak meresap ke dalam hati mereka yakni mereka tidak mengamalkan ilmu yang mereka pelajari..

Kedegilan pula berpunca daripada hati yang sakit. Analoginya-pabila kita jatuh sakit, tekak kita jadi pahit, selera pun hilang, makanan lazat menjadi hambar.Adakah makanan itu yang berubah rasa ataupun lidah kita yang berubah rasa? Similar to that....Bukan kerana cinta Allah itu tidak hebat, tidak indah tetapi hati yang sakit tidak akan berupaya menikmatinya. Jika dibiarkan saja hati yang sakit,itu, terbiar tanpa penawar maka ianya boleh bertukar menjadi hati yang mati.

Hati yang mati (sakit) tidak akan memberi ketenangan kepada tuan empunya badan. Orang yang tidak mencintai Allah pasti tidak akan bahagia dalam hidupnya. Mereka umpama ‘lost’ di lautan, terpesong dari arah laluan yang betul-tidak sampai ke destinasi.

Kita perlu ingat bahwa sakit fizikal; tangan terkena api pun dah sakit, inikan api neraka.. Mampukah kita bertahan???

Sakit di dunia akhirnya akan diakhiri dengan kematian NAMUN ‘sakit’ hati (hati yg mati) akan menyeksanya dari dunia hinggalah ke akhirat kelak akan berterusan forever ...(non-stop...)

Marilah kita sama-sama muhasabah diri kita balik...betulkan bailk niat kita hidup di dunia yang fana ini...

Marilah kita sama-sama kejar cinta Allah...

Wallahualam.

Why...Why and Why?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Assalammualaikum Warahmatullah

In the name of Allah, our Lord who SEES every single thing

In today’s post, I would like to share with you about pictures that I found interesting and beneficial to all. It makes us think, think and think while...reflecting on ourselves.

The title is –WHY ONLY MUSLIM????-




















WHY???








http://asytaaqfiqalbi.blogspot.com



In conclusion, these pictures revealed the reality of our lives as muslims... We constantly being mistreated by the society and the non-muslims. They have bad perception- an evil assumption; that all muslims are bad, that all muslims are terrosist and that ISLAM is an erroneous religion. Of course, not all of them think negatively of Islam but why do they have that kind of perception??

Did it ever occur to you that maybe... just maybe that we are at fault too. Nowadays, there are a lot of muslims throughout the world but a few who really understand and practice Islam in their life- as Ad-Din is a way of life. Isn’t that true?

Try to reflect ourselves...
What have we done as a muslim?
Do we really practice Islam to the fullest?
Do we follow all that have been stated in the holy Quran or in the Hadith???
What are the contributions that we can give to our beloved religion-ISLAM???


Think about it!

Pray to ALLAH...so that we can be HIS helper in spreading and developing ISLAM...and asked HIM to protect us, to distant ourselves from becoming HIS enemy or from becoming the reason to the downfall of Islam.. Nauzubillah...

THEREFORE...

DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE A MUSLIM
DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT- don't be afraid to be an ALIEN
Because ISLAM itself is a FOREIGN...

as stated in Hadith;

"Sesungguhnya Islam pada permulaannya asing dan akan kembali menjadi asing seperti pada permulaannya. Maka keuntungan besarlah bagi orang-orang yang asing," (H.R. Muslim)

Wallahualam.

My wish comes true...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Assalammualaikum Warahmatullah...

In the name of ALLAH, our Lord who NEVER sleeps and ALWAYS WATCHING over us...


Alhamdulillah, my final exam ends today...what a relief...after 2 weeks in exam mode, finally it all ends today...^^

Thank you, Ya Allah for helping me in answering the papers.. Insya'Allah, I will pass the exam...


Alhamdulillah...My wish comes true as I went to the surau's library later this evening and found myself staring at three rows of book shelves inside the surau...(amazed by the number of books in there...)

After observing and analysing the books, I decided to read a book entitle 'Bertemu Janji ALLAH'.... HOWEVER, I didn't manage finish reading that book,(can't take the book out) so I intended to continue reading it tomorrow morning!...can't wait....

~~~^^~~~

Alhamdulillah, my exam finishes today, giving me this wonderful opportunity....I just can't believe that I'm able to fulfill my desire to read those book in the library today- fulfilling my promise that I made to Allah, to the books.(Yes!!!....). ...^^...

Although I may not be able to read the books all at once but slowly..I'll try to read it all ...(slowly....) - my goal-

Dear friends,

Actually, the reasons I'm telling you about this whole thing is to persuade you, to influence, and to tempting you in practicing the habits of reading a book-especially Islamic books. This is because, the knowledge gained from all the reading, would benefit you in preparing you; to help you in comprehending the knowledge about ISLAM ,preparing you to FACE 'Alam Barzakh' and the most important thing is...to prepare you to FACE your Creator- Allah... Insya'Allah.

Moreover, as stated in the holy Quran;

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ

-Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists)-

Surah Al-Alaq

It is Cristal CLEAR that Allah have stated in His 'love letter' asking (WANTED)His servants-us to read, to (never stop)find knowledge.

Therefore, rather than focusing solely in studying and excelling in exams, WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR MINDSET and start doing what have been told by our Creator; which is to read (in the name of Allah).

In other words, we are told to read and seek the knowledge solely because of ALLAH... There shouldn't be any other reasons behind it. We should do it solely because of our love to HIM, and NOT because of our parents or just to fulfill the education/job requirements.

We must REMEMBER the coexistence of US in this world is solely because of HIM, to 'beribadat' to HIM- as stated in surah Al-Dzariat; 56.

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ

-And I have not created the Jinn and the men but that they may worship Me-



So...What are you waiting for?


Hurry!! Grab a book...

Grab the chance while you still can.....
( while you have your breath left in you)


Wallahualam..

Can't Wait...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Assalammualaikum Warahmatullah...

In the name of Allah, the Creator of me and you...

In today's post, I would like to share my thoughts.... my desire..I just can't wait for 10th Nov 2010 to come. It's not just because it is my last day of exam but it's also because on that day I could finally read the books in the surau...

Ever since I saw all those new books arrived at the surau, I had this desire in my heart; 'I want to read those books'. As reading is my hobby, I couldn't help to feel like that.. I really love to read books...

Unfortunately...I had to hold up this feeling for now as I'm in exam week( since this exam going to determine whether or not I'll continue my degree next year) but as soon as my exam over...'BOOKS....here I come!!!'

In addition, in my last meeting with my beloved senior, Kak Nora, I asked her whether I could be the librarian in the surau as I would like to spend most of my time in there...Hopefully I could be the librarian...but if luck doesn't side me...it's ok...cos I still get to read those books...

Nevertheless, this coming wednesday, I would go to the library in the surau to accomplish my mission....^^...Insya'Allah..

P.S- Please pray for my success...and my friends in the exam...hopefully I'm able to continue my degree in IPG IPOH...Thank you...
