Quran and Sunnah is Sufficient

During the Khilaafat of Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) the Muslims met the Romans (of the Byzantium Empire) in battle. The Muslims defeated them and reckoning that such was the custom of the enemy, decided to do the same to them. Hence they cut off the head of the commander and sent it with Sayyidina Uqbah bin Aamir (Radiallahu anhu) to Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) in Medina.

When the messenger came to him with the severed head, Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) showed intense displeasure. Seeing this Sayyidina Uqbah (Radiallahu anhu) exclaimed: “0 Successor of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) (why this displeasure?) These people will do the same thing to us.”

Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) replied:

“What? Will the practices and actions of the people of Persia and Byzantium be followed? Never should the head of anyone be brought before me. For us the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is sufficient to be followed.”

(Quoted from Shara—ul—Siyar vol.1)

Project Week

this week is our project week.

this means that most of the time should be spent doing the project.

but

unfortunately this week there is literally no progress.

repentance is a must.

these 5 days felt like less than a day.

when i reflect into myself,

i believe this is due to lack of focus and enthusiasm.

focus. very important indeed.

Because Allah Taala never made two hearts in one breast.

We could only focus at one thing at a time.

For students, if there's something else other than studies that is occupying them then they can hardly focus on their studies. If a student do not do what he/she has to do than he will begin to adopt some new unnecessary activities.

However we have to be practical. No one could attend to the studies at all time. Obviously, because there are other human needs: Eating, drinking, sleeping, socialising and spiritual needs etc. How can fulifill all these needs while we only have only one focus at a time?

in order to fulfill all these necessities, we need to obey Allah and His Rasuul solla Allahu alaihi wasallam. in that way, the priority can easily be understood. in fact this is the only easiest way of life, eventhough many people thought it is difficult.

otherwise, why does every excellent people ever lived on earth would choose this path of obedience?

hormati guru

Sekarang ni aku tengah baca satu buku bertajuk 'Itidaal fil Maraatib'.
dalam bahasa inggeris nye diterjemahkan sebagai "Islam Politics - The Middle Path".

Buku ni ditulis berdasarkan jawapan Hadrat Syeikhul Hadith Maulana Zakariyya Kandhlawi Rahmatullahi alaih terhadap beberapa soalan yang berkaitan dengan suasana politik yang berlaku pada waktu itu.

Dia juga pengarang banyak dari kitab dalam himpunan kitab Fada'il amaal.

Anyway, aku jumpe satu quote yang sangat penting untuk students:

"Whosoever does not tolerate humbleness at the time of seeking
knowledge, will forever remain in the indignity of ignorance."

Konsep ni agak tepat pada mana-mana bidang ilmu, baik ilmu ukhrawi atau 'duniawi[?]'.
...

Namun bila difikirkan, aku ni belajar dengan orang yang non-muslims. Macam mana aku nak balance kan respect tu, sedangkan dia seorang yang nyata2 belum beriman?

Kita perlu hormati guru, tapi sejauh mana kita perlu hormat?

Allahu a'laam.
Moga Allah beri petunjuk.

Malice

Sayyidina Anas (Radiallahu anhu) reports:

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) advised me:

"O son, if it is at all possible for you not to harbour any malice in your heart against anyone, then do so. This is my path. Whosoever loves my path, loves me and whosoever follows my path will be my companion in paradise."

(Mishkat)

Saluran Rezeki

Paip hanyalah saluran air, bukan punca air.

Rezeki ni macam air paip.

Bila kita bukak paip, akan keluar air.

Tapi, bukan paip yang bagi air. Air tu kita dapatkan dari tangki.

Kalau tangki kosong, takde la lagi air akan keluar dari paip.

Banyak mana tangki tu ada air, banyak tu jugak lah air akan keluar dari paip.

Tak kira lah paip tu besar atau kecil. Satu, dua atau berpuluh kepala paip pun.

Akhirnya, jumlah yang sama juga kita akan dapat.

Macam tu juga, rezeki kita ni semua Allah dah tetapkan.

Kita kerja, orang lain pun kerja.

Tapi rezeki tu bukan datang dari kerja, rezeki tu daripada Allah.

Ada orang kerja, tapi takde rezeki pun kat situ. Penat habis, tapi upah tak dapat.

Ada orang kerja sikit je, tapi cukup keperluan nya.

Jadi, daripada kita banyakkan kepala-kepala paip saluran rezeki,
ada baiknya kita baiki saluran2 rezeki dengan sumbernya, iaitu Allah Taala sendiri.

Caranya adalah dengan mentaati Allah, ikut Sunnah Baginda Solla Allahu alaihi wasallam.

Moga Allah Taala kurniakan kita rezeki yang baik, baik di dunia, lebih penting lagi di akhirat yang tiada kesudahan dan tiada kematian kelak.
