KELEBIHAN UMAT RASULULLAH S.A.W MENURUT PANDANGAN NABI ADAM A.S
Assalamu'alaikum WR WB,
I have a story to share (below) =)
Disebutkan bahawa Nabi Adam A.S telah berkata, "Sesungguhnya Allah S.W.T telah memberikan kepada umat Muhammad S.A.W EMPAT kemuliaan yang tidak diberikan kepadaku:
1. Taubatku hanya diterima di kota Mekah, sementara taubat umat Nabi Muhammad S.A.W diterima disebarang tempat oleh Allah S.W.T.
2. Pada mulanya aku berpakaian, tetapi apabila aku berbuat derhaka kepada Allah S.W.T, maka Allah S.W.T telah menjadikan aku telanjang. Umat Muhammad S.A.W membuat derhaka dengan telanjang, tetapi Allah S.W.T memberi mereka pakaian.
3. Ketika aku telah berderhaka kepada Allah S.W.T, maka Allah S.W.T telah memisahkan aku dengan isteriku. Tetapi umat Muhammad S.A.W berbuat derhaka, Allah S.W.T tidak memisahkan isteri mereka.
4. Memang benar aku telah derhaka kepada Allah S.W.T dalam syurga dan
aku dikeluarkan dari syurga, tetapi umat Muhammad S.A.W durhaka kepada Allah akan dimasukkan ke dalam syurga apabila mereka bertaubat kepada Allah S.A.W.
Masya'Allah. When I read this article, I felt so ashamed. I didn't realise how Allah loves Rasulullah's (S.A.W) ummah and has pardoned us in so many ways. I was so ashamed that we, the ummah has astrayed from the teachings of Rasulullah (S.A.W) in so many ways. Just remember my brothers and sisters, Rasulullah (S.A.W) cried for us. He loved us so much. Lets not disappoint Rasulullah (S.A.W) and let us rise once again.
Barakallahufeek wa Jazakallahu Khairan =)

Kisah Burung Merpati
Dalam Ceramah Ustaz Farid Ravi Abdullah, Ustaz berkongsi sebuah kisah mengenai dialong antara seorang guru dengan anak murid.
Guru: Pergilah kamu semua pergi sembelih burung-burung ini di tempat tiada orang melihat.
(Anak-anak muridnya semua menyembelih burung-burung merpati yang diberi kecuali seseorang.)
Murid: Tidak ada tempat yang aku boleh dapati di mana tiada orang melihat.
Guru: Mengapa wahai anak murid?
Murid: Kerana di mana pun saya pergi untuk saya menyembilih merpati ini, saya dapati Allah sentiasa Melihat saya.
Masya'Allah. Inilah di antara nilai Iman. Allah Maha Melihat.
Barakallahufeek wa Jazakallahu Khairan =)

True Love
Assalamu'alaikum WR WB
Dear brothers and sisters, I pray that you are all in the highest state of faith and health, and Insya'Allah, your minds and hearts are full of love for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta 'alaa. I have to admit. I am facing a dilemma. A problem my small heart is facing. Heartbroken or disappointed i am? Wallahu'alam bisawab. But after what had happened, I embarked on a 'journey' to find the answers to my problem. Love is the most overrated word in the world but as muslims, how do we face this? For those who might probably have fallen in love with a fellow insan, how do you face this? How to ensure your love will not affect your iman negatively? And most importantly, how do we ensure that we dont end up disappointed and lose our faith to Allah?
Alhamdulillah, I came across a book, "La Tahzan" which is Dont Be Sad if translated to English, written by Shaykh Dr. 'Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni, a Saudi Islamic Muslim scholar, author, and activist. With Allah's permission, I managed to find the answers to my disappointment or the sadness I am facing from this book. To find the answer to What is TRUE Love? I shall use some parts of the book for this post.
According to the book:
Question: How to find true Love and Happiness?
Answer: To find true happiness, you must be from those who love Allah. The most prosperous person is the one whose mission in life is to achieve the love of Allah, a love that Allah refers to in this verse:
"Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him..." (Qur'an 5:54)
Question: Scenarios of Love. Which category do you wish to belong in?
Answer: The story of Majnoon's love for Laila is well known. His extreme love for her killed him; whereas for Qaroon (Korah), it it was the love of wealth: and for Fir'aun (Pharaoh), it was the love of position and power. On the other hand, there is Hamza, Ja’afar and Hanzala (may Allah be pleased with them all), who all died for their love of Allah and His Messenger. Vast is the distance that separates these three noble companions in their love — and those believers who are like them — from the rest. So, where do you consider yourself in? Only you and Allah knows.
Question: What are the dangers of love?
Answer: Ardent Love. Beware of falling in love with appearances; such love is beset with anxiety and perpetual misery. It is a blessing for a Muslim that he stays away from messages found in lyrics and music, messages about ardent love, unrequited love, or separation from one’s object of love.
lbn al-Qayyim expounded on this topic in his book The Disease and the Cure. He mentioned a number of factors that contribute to one falling hopelessly and uncontrollably in love. Among them are the following:
1) An empty heart that is bereft of love for Allah, remembrance of Him, and fear of Him.
2) Allowing one’s eyes to wander and stare. The eye is a scout that can bring back misery to the heart.
[Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things)...(Qur an 24: 30)]
A look is an arrow from the arrows of the Devil. An Arab poet said:
“When you allow your eyes to wander ahead as a scout,
Looking at all eyes and stares will then follow,
Seeing that which you are not capable of embracing completely,
While not being patient for getting something partially."
3) Being negligent in worship especially in remembrance, supplication, and prayer.
Question: What is the cure for Ardent Love?
Answer:
1) Strive to improve your worship by being more sincere — and invoke Allah to cure you.
2) Lower your gaze.
3) Travel away from the object of your passion (your human love interest).
4) Keep yourself busy in doing good deeds.
In Conclusion, Love is not what media potrays it to be. That is wrong. Love is related to faith (Iman) which relates to your status as a muslim. The lessons that i've learnt, when facing the problem or dilemma of Love you have to hold on to these principles - Honesty, Obedience, Trust, Sincerity and Patience. (Jujur, Taat, Yakin, Ikhlas dan Sabar) and Insya'Allah Allah will guide you but I'll always remind myself of this quote, "In order to love someone, you have to love yourself. In order to love yourself, you have to LOVE ALLAH" =)
Jakallahu Khairan. Barakallahufeek. =)

Jadikanlah
Assalamu'alaikum WR WB,
I would like to share a set of lyrics with my readers. If you listen to WARNA 94.2 often, you would listen to this song, "Jadikanlah" by Ustaz Hussein Abdul Latiff being played. I fell in love with the lyrics the moment I heard the lyrics but only today, I managed to come across it. Alhamdulillah. Hope this is useful to my brothers and sisters in Islam.

Lady of Islam
Assalamu'alaikum WR WB,
Seems that I've been M.I.A lately =). Well, Alhamdulillah, I received this ilham to write a poem about a true meaning of a Lady of Islam, a true Muslimah, a wanita Solehah. My emphasis to this poem is the love of a wanita Solehah who is for none but Allah and Subhanallah, how greatful other guys or myself is if Allah is to match you with a Wanita Solehah. Below is the poem:
Lady of Islam
She masks her beauty
Barricades the radiance from percolating
Veils her finery
Preserves her attractiveness from seeping
Busy from dawn to dusk
Murmuring, Astarghfirullah, Subhan'allah, Masya’Allah
Performs more than one task
Practicing sunnah of our beloved Rasulullah
Head to toe she is dressed
Lowered her gaze earning respect
Praying by Allah she is blessed
Love of Man she does not expect
Allah is her companion
Faith and Worship is her lover
Du’a is her weapon
Patience and Meditation is her power
Ya Allah! Ya Muhyi!
You read my heart, my words You hear
Her love is for You only
Distance her from me till I’m sincere
Do drop a comment on the poem as you wish. =)
Jakallahu Khairan. Barakallahufeek. =)
