We are Muslims! We are Mu'mins! Insyaallah.


Surah al-Anfal: ayat 27
"O you who believe! Betray not the trust of Allah and the Messenger, nor misappropriate knowingly things entrusted to you."
My fellow Muslims, Allah gave us responsibilities n we MUST fulfill them. Do what we're told to do, leave what we're told to leave. Have a look at this ayat:
Surah al-Hajj: ayat 77-78
"77. O you who believe! Bow down (ruku'), prostrate yourself (sujud), and adore your Lord; and do good; that you may prosper. 78. And strive in His cause as you ought to strive, (with sincerity-ikhlas and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and you be witnesses for mankind! so establish regular Prayer, give Zakat (poor-due), and hold a fast to Allah! He is your Protector-the Best to protect and the Best to help!"
Now, I'll summarize according to my undstnding..
Allah has chosen us. yup! we're the chosen ones!! n Allah does not burden us or give us difficulties in this religion (Islam). Allah named us Muslims. Rasulullah (pbuh) witnesses us, told us the guidelines in Islam, explained them to us. N in turn, we must do the same to mankind (da'wah). Look my friends at how Allah n Rasulullah (pbuh) trust us n entrusted us with responsibilities! We should be eternally grateful! So, let us not give up k? Rmb, we don't want to be a kafir, do we? Absolutely not!!
What we must do:
1. Ruku' n sujud (solat) (mentioned twice!)
2. Adore Allah (hv tauhid!)
3. Do good
4. Really2 strive (jihad) in Allah's cause (ikhlas because of Allah)
5. Da'wah
6. Give zakat
7. Hold a fast to Allah (hold on tight to Allah n Islam)
N look at the last part of the ayat.. Allah-the Best to protect, the Best to help! So, stop worrying unnecessarily, Allah is always there when you fight for Allah, for Islam, when u truely act like a Muslim/Muslimah. So, pray n ask for Allah's protection, for Allah's help!
The Result: Prosper here n hereafter. It's in the ayat, really.. believe it my friends!!
Many people nowadays know what are wrong doings, what r good doings n what r doings which are obligatory (wajib). Know but dont applicate. Yup. That's the problem! Responsibility my friends, responsibility. We MUST perform our duties as Muslims n Muslimahs. It is our duties, our responsibilities entrusted to us. We must not neglect these duties n do as we wish here on Earth. Rmb, we are slaves of Allah living on Allah's earth, breathing on Allah's air. Be shukr my friends, be shukr. Let us together work hard to be great mu'mins, insyaallah. Amiin.
Wallahu'alam.

Busy eyh??

Strength Over Passion


Teenagers. What is always associated with teenagers? Love? Hmm..
I've written abt my opinion on coupling but it ain't that easy to end this fantasy eyh?
Hmm.. We have to possess a strength eyh? N not juz any strength, I'm talking abt Iman here, my friends, Iman (Faith). Don't wait for this strength to come to u, my friends because u urself must build this strength!

"...Surely never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls). ..." (Surah Ar-Ra'd: ayat 11)

My friends, I know it feels hard to stop coupling, stop giving ur love to him, stop contacting him all the time.. But take a look at this:

"Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not." (Surah Al-Baqarah: ayat 216)

Be strong my friends. It is not impossible to change. Rmb, Allah give us tasks according to our abilities. Believe it! Dont give up k? Rmb this?

"O my sons! Go and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah's soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith." (Surah Yusuf: ayat 87)

No, we cant give up can we? Coz we have to be faithful people (people with Iman: Mu'min, I mean). Yup. That's what's special abt Mu'mins, they believe in Allah's promises. Hence, they dont give up. Can we be like them? Yes, of coz!!

My friend once said, passion (nafsu), must not be followed, must not be ignored, but it must be taught!! (Sry if it's not exactly what u said, fren. My translation aint perfect!! haha..) So my main point is...


Have Strength Over Passion!!


PS: Don't forget to pray n do'a. Ask for Allah's help!


"You (Allah) do we worship and Your (Allah's) aid we seek" (Surah Al-Fatihah: ayat 5)




Wallahu'alam. (It's kinda short, right? Well, that's all I can give for now.. Until next time!)

A Short Tazkirah That I've Found.


Usah Buka Aib Sesama Muslim, Kelak Allah tutup aibnya di akhiratDALAM satu hadis Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, maksudnya: “Sesiapa yang menutup keaiban saudaranya sesama Muslim, kelak Allah akan tutup aibnya di akhirat.”
Cuba kita sama-sama teliti satu kisah di zaman Nabi Musa a.s. Pada suatu ketika Bani Israel ditimpa musim kemarau yang berpanjangan. Mereka berkumpul dan datang menemui nabi.
Mereka berkata: “Ya Kaliimallah! Berdoalah kepada Tuhanmu agar Dia menurunkan hujan kepada kami.”
Berangkatlah Nabi Musa bersama kaumnya menuju ke padang pasir yang luas. Dengan jumlah yang ramai itu mereka berdoa dalam keadaan lusuh dan penuh debu, haus serta lapar.
Nabi Musa berdoa: “Ilaahi! Asqinaa ghaitsak…wansyur ‘alaina rahmatak…”
Selepas itu langit tetap saja terang benderang, matahari pun bersinar makin berkilauan. Maknanya segumpal awan pun tidak muncul jua.
Kemudian Nabi Musa berdoa lagi: “Ilaahi…asqinaa…”
Allah pun berfirman kepada Nabi Musa, maksudnya: “Bagaimana Aku akan menurunkan hujan kepada kalian sedangkan di antara kalian ada seorang hamba di kalangan yang hadir berdoa bermaksiat sejak 40 tahun lalu. Umumkanlah di hadapan manusia agar dia berdiri di hadapan kalian semua. Kerana dialah Aku tidak menurunkan hujan untuk kalian…”
Lalu Nabi Musa pun berteriak di tengah-tengah kaumnya: “Wahai hamba yang bermaksiat kepada Allah sejak 40 tahun…keluarlah ke hadapan kami…kerana engkaulah hujan tidak turun…”
Seorang lelaki melirik ke kanan dan kiri. Tidak seorang pun yang keluar di hadapan manusia. Saat itu pula dia sedar kalau dirinyalah yang dimaksud.
Dia berkata dalam hatinya: “Kalau aku keluar ke hadapan manusia, maka akan terbuka rahasiaku. Kalau aku tidak berterus terang, maka hujan pun tidak akan turun.”
Hatinya pun gundah gulana. Air matanya pun menetes, menyesali perbuatan maksiatnya, sambil berkata di dalam hati: “Ya Allah! Aku sudah bermaksiat kepada-Mu selama 40 tahun. Selama itu pula Engkau menutupi aibku. Sungguh sekarang aku bertaubat kepada-Mu, maka terimalah taubatku.”Tidak lama selepas pengakuan taubatnya itu, awan-awan tebal pun muncul. Semakin lama semakin tebal menghitam dan akhirnya turunlah hujan.
Nabi Musa kehairanan. “Ya Allah, Engkau sudah turunkan hujan kepada kami, namun tidak seorang pun yang keluar di hadapan manusia.”
Allah berfirman, maksudnya: “Aku menurunkan hujan kepada kalian oleh sebab hamba yang kerananya hujan tidak kunjung turun.”
Nabi Musa berkata: “Ya Allah! Tunjukkan padaku hamba yang taat itu.”
Allah berfirman, maksudnya: “Ya Musa, Aku tidak membuka aibnya padahal dia bermaksiat kepada-Ku. Apakah Aku membuka aibnya sedangkan dia taat kepada-Ku!”Semoga cerita ini menjadikan kita hamba yang tidak menghina dan mengaibkan kesalahan yang dilakukan seseorang.
Bukan itu sahaja, kita juga dilarang mendedahkan keaiban sendiri. Tetapi hal ini sering terjadi dalam dunia yang hangat dengan menceritakan kisah dosa peribadi, kadang-kadang menjadi pelaris dan menghangatkan lagi buku dan siaran televisyen.

This is What I Call Unity. Precisely!!!


During Exam..

During exam, when u feel hopeless, n all u wanna do is just give up.. Dont!!!! Perhaps these would help..

” Wahai anak-anakku! Pergilah dan intiplah khabar berita mengenai Yusuf dan saudaranya, Dan janganlah kamu putus asa dari rahmat serta pertolongan Allah. Sesungguhnya tidak berputus asa dari Rahmat dan pertolongan Allah itu melainkan kaum yang kafir”.
"O my sons! Go you and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have faith."(surah Yusuf: ayat 87)

Don't give up, my friends. You r never alone. Juz look into ur heart n Allah's right there beside u. Imagine what Rasulullah pboh has been through, all he had faced during his period of da'wah. N look at how easy the tasks Allah gave us, n Allah knows we can go through em! Yup, that's true!! This is indeed a favour that Allah gave us. So, we must use all our might in dealing with these tasks.

"Maka ni'mat manakah yg kamu dustakn?"
"Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?"(repeated 31 times in surah ar Rahman)
Study3!! But dont forget to pray3 (call for Allah/doa) too!!














"Dan Tuhanmu berfirman, "Berdoalah kepadaKu, niscaya Aku perkenankan bagimu. sesungguhnya orang2 yang sombong tidak mahu menyembahKu akan masuk ke neraka Jahannam dalam keadaan hina dina""
"And your Lord says: "Call on Me, I will answer yor Prayer: but those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell-in humiliation!"(surah Ghafir: ayat 60)

Believe it my friends! Coz..

"... Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menyalahi janji"
"for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise"
(surah Ar ra'd: ayat 31)

Subhanallah. Unlike us humans, Allah has power over ALL!! Allahuakbar. Allah is our creator after all! Rmb my friends, whenever we do things ikhlas (becoz of Allah), no one, not even satan could disturb us!! It all starts with our niat (our real aim/reason to do that thing). Wallahu'alam.
