Salam Eidul Adha Mubarak!

bismillahi walhamdulillah..

syukur ke hadrat Yang Esa kerana masih dipanjangkan umur untuk kita sama-sama sekali lagi meraikan eidul adha 1430H.tetibe rasa rindu sangat dengan tanah haram baitullah...tadi sesama kami berlima berbuka puasa di mo'men sempat menonton suasana wukuf di arafah.saya juga ada menonton di internet tetapi siarannya kurang memuaskan.gambar kurang clear.kenangan menjadi tetamu Allah 6 tahun lepas masih segar di ingatan.ya Allah sampaikanlah hajatku untuk dipilih menjadi tetamuMu lagi...

eiduladha di negara arab sangat meriah jika dibandingkan dengan tanah air.mungkin kerana mereka tahu kelebihan hari raya ini berbanding dengan eidulfitri.boleh dilihat dari persiapan mereka yang sakan dan meriah.

PCM akan mengadakan majlis korban pada hari raya ke3 kemudian jamuan raya pada keesokkan harinya.2 ekor unta,4 ekor lembu dan 5 ekor kambing bakal dikorbankan tahun ini.berita tentang korban akan diupdate kemudian.






salam eiduladha 1430H
kullu am wa entum bikhair..

buat sanak saudara di malaysia,
sahabat2 yang mengenali diri ini
tidak kira dimana anda berada..
teruskan pengorbanan anda untuk islam!

First Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah: Days of Virtue And Righteous Deeds

bismillahi walhamdulillah...

Ibn 'Abbas says about the Aayah, "Remember Allaah during the well known days," that it refers to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. [This is related by al-Bukhari]

Allaah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "By the dawn; by the 10 nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2]. Ibn Abbaas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujaahid and others of the earlier and later generations said that this refers to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Ibn Katheer said: "This is the correct opinion." [Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 8/413]

Praise be to Allaah Who has created Time and has made some times better than others, some months and days and nights better than others, when rewards are multiplied many times, as a mercy towards His slaves. This encourages them to do more righteous deeds and makes them more eager to worship Him, so that the Muslim renews his efforts to gain a greater share of reward, prepare himself for death and supply himself in readiness for the Day of Judgement.

This season of worship brings many benefits, such as the opportunity to correct ones faults and make up for any shortcomings or anything that one might have missed. Every one of these special occasions involves some kind of worship through which the slaves may draw closer to Allaah, and some kind of blessing though which Allaah bestows His favour and mercy upon whomsoever He will. The happy person is the one who makes the most of these special months, days and hours and draws nearer to his Lord during these times through acts of worship; he will most likely be touched by the blessing of Allaah and will feel the joy of knowing that he is safe from the flames of Hell. [Ibn Rajab, al-Lataaif, p.8]

Ibn 'Abbas reports that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these days [meaning the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah]." The companions asked, "O Messenger of Allaah, not even jihad in the way of Allaah?" He said, "Not even jihad, except for the man who puts his life and wealth in danger [for Allaah's sake] and returns with neither of them." [This is related by the group except Muslim and an-Nasa'i]

Ahmad and at-Tabarani record from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "There is no day more honorable in Allaah's sight and no acts more beloved therein to Allaah than those in these ten days. So say tahlil (There is no deity worthy of worship but Allaah : Laa ilaaha illallaah), takbir (Allaah is the greatest : Allaahu Akbar) and tahmid (All praise is due to Allaah : alhumdulillaah) a lot [on those days]." [Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shaakir stated it is saheeh]

Abu Hurairah relates that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "There are no days more loved to Allaah for you to worship Him therein than the ten days of Dhul Hijja. Fasting any day during it is equivalent to fasting one year and to offer salatul tahajjud (late-night prayer) during one of its nights is like performing the late night prayer on the night of power. [i.e., Lailatul Qadr]." [This is related by at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Baihaqi]

Ibn 'Umar narrated that at Mina, the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Do you know what is the day today?" The people replied, "Allaah and His Messenger know it better." He said, "It is the forbidden (sacred) day. And do you know what town is this?" They replied, "Allaah and His Messenger know it better." He said, "This is the forbidden (sacred) town (Mecca). And do you know which month is this?" The people replied, "Allaah and His Apostle know it better." He said, "This is the forbidden (sacred) month." The Messenger added, "No doubt, Allaah made your blood, your properties, and your honour sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: On the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijja), the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) stood in between the Jamrat during his Hajj which he performed (as in the previous Hadith) and said, "This is the greatest Day (i.e. 10th of Dhul-Hijjah)." The Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) started saying repeatedly, "O Allaah! Be Witness (I have conveyed Your Message)." He then bade the people farewell. The people said, "(This is Hajjat-al-Wada)." [Bukhari 2.798]

Fasting Day of Arafat

Abu Qatadah reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Fasting on the day of 'Arafah is an expiation for two years, the year preceding it and the year following it. Fasting the day of 'Ashurah is an expiation for the year preceding it." [This is related by "the group," except for al-Bukhari and at-Tirmidhi]

Hafsah reported, "There are five things that the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) never abandoned: fasting the day of 'Ashurah, fasting the [first] 10 [days of Dhul-Hijjah], fasting 3 days of every month and praying two rak'ah before the dawn prayer." [This is related by Ahmad and an-Nasa'i]

'Uqbah ibn 'Amr reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "The day of 'Arafah, the day of sacrifice, and the days of tashreeq are 'ids for us--the people of Islam--and they are days of eating and drinking." [This is related by "the five," except for Ibn Majah. At-Tirmidhi grades it sahih]

Abu Hurairah stated, "The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) forbade fasting on the day of 'Arafah for one who is actually at 'Arafah." [This is related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah]

At-Tirmidhi comments: "The scholars prefer that the day of 'Arafah be fasted unless one is actually at 'Arafah."

Takbeer

It is Sunnah to say Takbeer ("Allaahu akbar"), Tahmeed ("Al-hamdu Lillaah"), Tahleel ("La ilaha ill-Allaah") and Tasbeeh ("Subhaan Allaah") during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and to say it loudly in the mosque, the home, the street and every place where it is permitted to remember Allaah and mention His name out loud, as an act of worship and as a proclamation of the greatness of Allaah, may He be exalted. Men should recite these phrases out loud, and women should recite them quietly.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"That they might witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e., reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the name of Allaah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)..." [al-Hajj 22:28]

The majority of scholars agree that the "appointed days" are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, because of the words of Ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father), "The appointed days are the first ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah)."

The Takbeer may include the words "Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, la ilaaha ill-Allaah; wa Allaahu akbar wa Lillaahil- hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no deity worthy of worship but Allaah; Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah be praise)," as well as other phrases.

Takbeer at this time is an aspect of the Sunnah that has been forgotten, especially during the early part of this period, so much so that one hardly ever hears Takbeer, except from a few people. This Takbeer should be pronounced loudly, in order to revive the Sunnah and as a reminder to the negligent. There is sound evidence that Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with them) used to go out in the marketplace during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, reciting Takbeer, and the people would recite Takbeer when they heard them. The idea behind reminding the people to recite Takbeer is that each one should recite it individually, not in unison, as there is no basis in Sharee'ah for doing this.

jom puasa zulhijjah

bismillahi walhamdulillah..

pejam celik pejam celik, masa berlalu.sekarang kita berada di bulan akhir dalam kalendar islam, iaitu bulan zulhijjah.esok adalah 1 zulhijjah.bulan ini mempunyai banyak kelebihan dan kelebihan yang tiada di bulan lain adalah semua umat islam berada di makkah untuk menunaikan fardhu haji.

bersempena dengan bulan yang mulia ini saya ingin mengajak para pembaca untuk berpuasa di sepuluh awal zulhijjah yang sangat-sangat dituntut dan mempunyai banyak ganjaran di sisi
Allah.ingin dikongsikan ilmu yang saya dapat dalam kelas ust.salman 2 hari lepas..

firman Allah dalam surah al-fajr:

dan malam yang sepuluh, وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ 2

ulama menafsirkan ayat ini dengan:

Malam yang sepuluh itu ialah malam sepuluh terakhir dari bulan Ramadhan. Dan ada pula yang mengatakan sepuluh yang pertama dari bulan Muharram termasuk di dalamnya hari Asyura. Ada pula yang mengatakan bahwa malam sepuluh itu ialah sepuluh malam pertama bulan Zulhijjah.

« مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ ». يَعْنِى أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ. قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ « وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ ».

“Tidak ada satu amal soleh yang lebih dicintai oleh Allah melebihi amal soleh yang dilakukan pada hari-hari ini (iaitu 10 hari pertama bulan Zulhijjah).” Para sahabat bertanya: “Tidak pula jihad di jalan Allah?” Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam menjawab: “Tidak pula jihad di jalan Allah, kecuali orang yang berangkat jihad dengan jiwa dan hartanya dan tidak ada satu pun daripada keduanya (jiwa dan harta) yang kembali.”

[HR. Abu Daud no. 2438, At Tirmidzi no. 757, Ibnu Majah no. 1727, dan Ahmad no. 1968, dari Ibnu ‘Abbas. Syaikh Al Albani menyatakan bahawa hadits ini sahih. Syaikh Syu’aib Al Arnauth menyatakan bahawa sanad hadits ini sahih sesuai syarat al-Bukhari-Muslim]

صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِى قَبْلَهُ وَالسَّنَةَ الَّتِى بَعْدَهُ وَصِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِى قَبْلَهُ

“Puasa Arafah dapat menghapuskan dosa setahun yang lalu dan setahun akan datang. Puasa Asyura (10 Muharram) akan menghapuskan dosa setahun yang lalu.”[HR. Muslim no. 1162, dari Abu Qotadah]

berdasarkan hadis dan ayat al-quran di atas marilah sama kita memperbanyakkan amalan di awal bulan ini..semacam berada di madrasah mini ramadhan!perbanyakkan zikir, tahajud dan ibadat2 sunat yang lain..

untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut tentang kelebihan di bulan ini sila bace di Intis.buat mereka yang mempunyai saudara yang menunaikan haji tahun ini, mintalah mereka berdoa untuk anda.ya Allah sampaikanlah rinduku pada rumahMu..ku ingin menziarahi kekasihMu..berikanlah ku kesempatan lagi..

-selamat berada di bulan zulhijjah-

biography of maher zain

Maher’s first musical inspiration came from his father, who was a singer himself, performing locally in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Tripoli – Lebanon. Fascinated by the music and instruments, Maher got his first keyboard when he was only ten and ever since music officially became part of Maher’s world.

The family moved to Sweden when Maher was only 8, where he continued his schooling, and later entered university and got a Bachelors degree in Aeronautical Engineering. With things changing around him, one thing remained the same – his strong passion for music. He would spend late nights at school with his friends where they would sing, rap, compose and experiment with music in every way. It didn’t take him long to realize that music became an integral part of who he is.

After being involved for a while in the music scene in Sweden as a music producer, Maher was introduced to RedOne, a gifted music producer who was fast rising in the music scene in Sweden. Maher started working with RedOne with Swedish artists, and later moved with him to New York. For a few years he was in the middle of the hot rush of the NY music industry, working with chart topping artists such as Kat Deluna on her debut album which included smash hits ‘Whine up’ and ‘Run the Show’.

Maher had what many would describe as a dream job for someone so young in such a glamorous business, but for Maher it felt like this was far from what he would call ‘the dream’, “I loved the music but I hated everything that surrounded it, it always felt like something wasn’t right”. RedOne was on the verge of breaking into the big time, going on to work with artists like Akon, Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Brandy, New Kids on the Block, and Michael Jackson to mention just a few, and becoming one of the most sought-after music producers in the world. Maher however was restless and eventually decided that the music industry and all that surrounded wasn’t the right place for him and he returned to Sweden. It wasn’t until he met a group of brothers who were active in the Islamic community in Stockholm and he started regularly attending his local mosque that he felt like he’d reached ‘home’.

Maher feels blessed to able to finally find the right way, and feels like it’s his turn now to help others through his music to do the same: “If I had one thing I’d like to tell people out there it would be that it’s so easy to see the right way if we just open our eyes and look properly; that’s what happened to me.”

p/s: dia labenon rupanya..no wonder la best coz penyanyi from labenon biasanya album dia meletop!n arab pun suka lagu2 org labenon ni..tapi kalu wanitanya plak seksi yang menyeksakan mata!=)

happy birthday kak dina n ecah!

sajak

bismillahi walhamdulillah...

KERANA HIDUP INI PERJUANGAN

Kedewasaan ini
Brsama hadirnya hakikat kehidupan
Di saat jejakku brtapak menelusuri jalan
Sekali jalan lurus ke depan
Ku tersenyum menatap alam
Namun,
Seringkali kakiku menerjah kerikil DUGAAN
Perlukah kutangisi takdir Tuhan?
Lalu aku
Biarpun dalam alur nadi sesak dan payah
Biarpun brdarah nafasku meniti hayat
Kugempurkan semangat
Dalam menggilap harap
Memohon restuMu
Tidakkan bermalang hati
Ku undang agar bertali memujuk diri
Kerana telah kufahami
Dan kubisikkan pada diri
KERANA HIDUP INI PERJUANGAN
Aku perlu jadi pejuang yg MENANG

thanks wani for the inspiring sajak!really appreciate it..
when it rains look for the rainbow..hm..it takes time..
really..i don't know where to start again..
semangat yang dibina tidak sekukuh mana..
ya Allah cepatlah ia berlalu..
aku tidak mahu menanti lagi...
perit..payah..hancur..musnah...
senang melafaz kata..
senang mengukir senyum..
namun dihati tidak siapa yang tahu..
tiada kata yang mampu terlafaz...
hanya Engkau tempat aku berserah dan mengadu..

-what hurt the most-
