Allah Maha Mengetahui, Dia sahaja tahu siapa yang mati dalam apa jua keadaan.

Ada satu kisah di mana satu (seorang) muazzin, dia azan selama 32 tahun, (suatu ketika) dia mengikut satu jalan dan dia telah terlihat, mata pandangannya terkena (terpandang) kepada kepada seorang perempuan kristian dalam keadaan telanjang.
Selepas dia melihat perempuan itu lalu dia jatuh cinta kepada perempuan itu. (Kemudian) dia (muazzin itu) pergi kepada ibu bapa dia (perempuan itu) lalu berkata: "Kahwinkan lah saya dengan anak perempuan kamu."
Ibu bapa perempuan berkata: "Kamu orang Islam macam mana boleh kahwin dengan anak saya, kami orang kristian, kamu kena tinggalkan Islam dulu."
Muazzin kata: "Saya sedia tinggalkan Islam."
Ibu bapa perempuan itu kata: "Hanya dengan kamu cakap saya tinggalkan Islam, kami tak percaya, kamu kena tunjukkan kepada kami cara praktikal. Kamu kena makan daginig babi, minum arak baru lah kami terima kamu telah tinggalkan Islam."
Muazzin kata: "Saya sedia."
Lalu dia (muazzin) memakan daging babi dan minum arak, (dalam seumur hidupnya) tak pernah (dia) minum arak dan makan babi dan (lalu) dia telah mabuk.
Dan orang itu (ibu bapa perempuan itu) kata: "Kamu naik atas (rumah), anak saya akan jumpa kamu di atas, kamu sudah dinikahkan dengan anak saya."
(Maka) Dia (muazzin itu) naik tangga untuk naik ke atas, (dalam keadaan) dia mabuk, (tiba-tiba) dia telah terjatuh dan telah mati.

******

Siapakah dia tuan-tuan? dia (seorang yang) telah azan selana 32 tahun lalu bersembahyang.
Ada orang azan dan sembahyang tapi dia punya azan dan sembahyang tidak dapat selamatkan dia dan dia telah mati dalam keadaan tiada iman. oleh itu, kita kena takut macam mana keadaan kita yang akhir,
kita kena menghargai setiap rakan-rakan kita, jangan kita pandang rendah kepada mana-mana kawan kita.
Kalau sesiapa mula pandang rendah terhadap orang lain dia akan jatuh daripada pandangan Allah.

Selesaikan masalah dgn perantaraan amal

Time ni sekurang-kurangnya ada 3 isu berbangkit dlm negara kita yg menjadi tumpuan orang ramai, iaitu:
1)Kecoh demonstrasi mansuh ISA.
2)H1N1 semakin menular dan hari ini sorang lagi meninggal - menjadikan mangsa korban enam orang di Msia.
3) Masalah ekonomi dan kewangan global yg turut memberi kesan kpd Msia. World economic growth -1.4 pd Julai 09, GDP Msia drop 20 percent. Ia mungkin akan terus merosot.

Ini semua adalah berlaku dengan kehendak Allah. Tetapi hasil natijah daripada amalan-amalan buruk manusia. Baru-baru ni seorang maulana memberi ceramah yang antara lainnya bermaksud lebih kurang:

Apa2 keadaan yg datang dalam dunia, ia datang dan berlaku dgn kehendak Allah.
Baik atau buruk datang dengan kehendak Allah. Kekayaan, kemiskinan, kesusahan, kegembiraan pun Allah yang datangkan.
Tapi untuk hasilkan sesuatu keadaan ada seuatu kaedah atau tertib yg ditentukan oleh Allah.
Bila amalan hamba-hamba-Nya jadi baik maka Allah akan wujudkan keadaan yg baik bila amalan rosak, maka Allah akan jadikan keadaan pun rosak.
Bila amalan seseorang individu jadi baik maka Allah akan jadikan keadaan yg baik bagi individu itu, bila amalan individu itu rosak maka Allah akan wujudkan keadaan rosak untuk individu itu.
Bila keadaan ijtimaie atau dalam ramai2 manusia secara bersama jadi baik maka Allah akan wujudkan keadaan yg baik untuk semua orang, tetapi bila ramai2 keadaan melakukan dalam amal2 yg rosak maka Allah akan wujudkan keadaan rosak untuk semua orang.
Nabi SAW ketika dalam peristiwa Israk Mikraj baginda nampak ada perkara yang naik ke langit dan ada perkara yg turun ke bumi. Baginda bertanya, "wahai Jibril a.s apakah yg naik dan apa perkara yg turun dari langit?
Jibril a.s menjawab yg naik dari bumi adalah amalan manusia dan yang turun dari langit adalah keputusan Allah.
Iaitu bila amalan baik naik atas maka Allah beri keputusan baik turun ke bumi.
Bila amalan rosak maka keputusan Allah juga berikan keadaan yang rosak.
Suatu ketika Nabi SAW bertanya kepada Allah: "Ya Allah bagaimanakah saya dapat kenal bahawa Kamu suka kepada seseorang? Apakah tanda2 yang mana kamu suka kepada seseorang itu?"
Allah wahyukan kepada Nabi SAW: "Bila saya sukakan seseorang maka saya akan turunkan hujan semasa hasil tanamannya nak jadi masak, dan semasa nak menuai saya tidak turunkan hujan, dan saya akan beri harta2 mereka kepada orang yg ada sifat dermawan, dan saya akan tetapkan bagi mereka orang2 yang adil yang membahagikan harta dan menentukan urusan mereka."
Nabi SAW bertanya: "Bila kamu murka, apakah tandanya?"
Allah beritahu melalui wahyu bahawa: "Bila saya murka kepada satu2 kaum maka semasa mereka punya tanaman masak dan perlukan hujan tapi saya tak turunkan hujan dan bila nak menuai hasil maka saya turunkan hujan dan harta mereka berada di tangan2 orang yg kedekut di antara mereka dan saya akan letak pemerintah yang zalim di kalangan mereka."
Oleh itu, jangan lah kita mengkritik atau kondem pemerintah kita tetapi sebenarnya pemerintah itu adalah hasil daripada amalan kita.
Jika manusia beri zakat maka Allah beri berkat dalam hartanya akan ditambah dan Allah akan pelihara harta mereka. Dalam haji, seorang yang menunaikan haji tidak akan jadi fakir. Diberitahu bahawa pagi2 awal2 pagi beri lah sedekah, kerana sedekah ini tidak benarkan musibah untuk timbul utk orang itu.
Orang yang sentiasa beri sedekah maka Allah akan pelihara deripada 2 penyakit, 1: penyakit kulit jadi putih, 2: penyakit kusta.
Begitu juga, orang yg sentiasa menghubungkan silaturahim maka Allah akan tambah berkat dlm kehidupan dia.
Bila amalan kita jadi baik maka keadaan kita juga jadi baik. Jadi begitu juga kalau orang tak bagi zakat maka Allah akan tahan hujan. Dan kalau lah bukan kerana binatang yang tidak ada lidah iaitu tidak boleh cakap Allah tidak akan turunkan walaupun setitik air ke bumi.
Kalau orang tipu dalam timbangan, Allah akan wujudkan kemarau.
Bila zina jadi berleluasa di satu tempat maka Allah akan wujudkan penyakit2 di tempat itu yang mana penyakit itu tidak akan dapat mengenal pasti tabib yang pakar pun tak dapat kenal apa jenis penyakit yang Allah akan wujudkan (dan manusia tak tahu ubat atau penawarnya).
Aisyah r.ha berkata, bila satu bahagian dalam bumi tempat itu zina berleluasa, Allah akan perintahkan bumi itu bergerak dan berlaku gempa bumi di tempat itu.
Bila di tempat orang tak tunaikan janji mereka, maka di hati-hati orang itu, Allah akan letakkan ketakutan dalam hati itu terhadap orang lain.
Begitu juga kalau satu tempat orang langgar perintah Allah, buat kemungkaran berleluasa, maka bumi itu akan bertanya Allah, "Bolehkan saya pecah muka bumi dan telankan semua mereka ini? dan Allah beritahu kalau mereka itu makhluk kamu maka kamu buat lah begitu.
Maka air pun berkata, benarkan kami naik dan tenggelamkan mereka semua, maka Allah kata, kalau mereka ini makhluk kamu maka kamu buat macam tu.
Maksudnya ialah bila satu tempat kemungkaran jadi berleluasa, maka azab Allah akan datang. Macam mana kita punya amal begitu lah kita punya keadaan.
Sebenarnya keadaan yang baik ialah bentuk amalan kita bertukar kepada bentuk natijah yang baik, bila amalan tidak baik maka bentuk natijahnya ditukar juga kepada tidak baik.
Bila amalan baik bentuk ditukar kepada ganjaran syurga tetapi bila amalan buruk bentuk ditukar kepada azab neraka.
Bila Allah beri nikmat2 kepada manusia, secara umumnya manusia selalunya sibuk dengan nikmat itu hingga lupa kepada Allah.
Sebenarnya nikmat itu diberikan kepada kita kerana melalui nikmat itu supaya kita boleh sampai kepada Allah, iaitu bila kita menikmati nikmat lalu bersyukur, lebih dekat kepada Allah, mentaati perintahNya, menjauhi laranganNya.
Tapi secara umumnya manusia guna nikmat itu tetapi lupa kepada Allah.

---sekian, ini adalah sebahagian saja daripada bayan itu.

Message for muslims in the West

By Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi (Rahmatullahi Alayh). Summary of a speech delivered in Urdu at Tabligh Markaz, Dewsbury in 1982.

Your warm reception and friendliness is a source of great happiness for me. If I do not respect your wishes and express my inner feelings, I would be most ungrateful. If I desire, I could shower you with praises, for Almighty Allah has bestowed me with an abundance of vocabulary, but I would not be fulfilling the right of friendship.
As you are aware, the Prophet Sallallaho Alahi Wasallam had a burning desire to invite humanity to accept Islam. Despite 13 years of untiring effort in Makkatul Mukarramah and 7 years in Madinatul Munawwarah, there was no large scale conversion of non-Muslims into Islam. However, between 7 AH and 10 AH, after Fateh Makkah until the Prophet's demise, there was such an influx of people entering into Islam as was not witnessed in the preceding 20 years.
Imam Zuhri Rahmatullahi Alayh, an eminent Muhaddith and Tabee, expresses surprise on this sea change, with so many people embracing Islam in a matter of just 3 years. He along with other distinguished Muhaddith have commented that this large scale conversion was due to non-Muslims having an opportunity, for the first time, to observe and intermingle with Muslims, witnessing their honesty, fair dealing, compassion, and their sole reliance on Almighty Allah. This left such a deep and profound impression on non-Muslims that thousands entered into the fold of Islam within a relatively short period of time.>Continue reading!
This incident also contains abundant lessons on how Muslims should live in this country. Their conduct should be so sublime and captivating that whosoever sees us accepts Islam. Whosoever sits with us should be inclined towards Islam. There should be no need to convince anyone to accept the Truth.
Therefore, in this country, if you wish to live peacefully and have an opportunity to present Islam to the host community, you will need to inculcate and manifest sterling qualities – not just inside the Mosques – but also outside in the streets, in the markets, in your daily activities, and at home. A life of Taqwah will immediately attract non-Muslims towards Islam.
As an ordinary student of Islam it is my religious responsibility to warn you. If you do not lead an upright life, if you continue to live an insular lifestyle, and if you fail to manifest the beauty of Islam to non-Muslims, then you face some real dangers. In such a case, there is no reason for you to feel content and secure in this country.
If ever the fire of race, religion or nationalism rages here, then you will not be saved. In Spain, there were Mosques a hundred times more beautiful than yours. So do not feel content and self-satisfied. As an ordinary student of religion, I would wish to express my joy and happiness at this wonderful new Mosque. But how shall I congratulate you on your achievement when the words of congratulation are self-evident on the walls. How better can I compliment you?
Others may not speak to you as plainly, but remember the glorious Masjid-e-Cordova still stands in Spain. Iqbal so eloquently reminisces the great legacy of Islamic Spain in his famous poem Masjid-e-Qurtaba. In Islamic Spain there were such brilliant Mosques, celebrated Madressahs, famous scholars, for instance Shaykh-e-Akbar, Ibne Hazm, Qurtubi, Shatbi - and how many others shall I mention? However, when the flames of religious sectarianism raged, then the Mosques and Madressahs became deserted. Once Islamic Spain boasted such magnificent structures, distinguished educational centres, and a refined culture and society. Regrettably the Muslims, despite such a high standard of living, did not draw the native non-Muslims of that country to see the Truth of Islam, to warn them of the dangers of disbelief, with the result that religious subsequently consumed Muslims like a morsel. The Arabs with their glowing history, architectural splendour, vast ocean of knowledge, were displaced from the country, and today the ears eagerly wait to hear the Adhaan and the empty Mosques thirst for your Salaat.
You must earn your place in this country. You should leave an imprint on the host community of your usefulness. You must demonstrate your existence here is more beneficial than that of the native people. You must impart on them the lessons of humanity. You should demonstrate how noble and principled you are, and that there cannot be found more upright humans elsewhere besides you. You need to establish your worth, that you are a blessing and mercy for this country. However if you decide to live in an enclosed environment content with your Prayers and Fasting, apathetic to the people and society you live in, never introducing them to the high Islamic values, and your own personal qualities, then beware lest any religious or sectarian flares up. In such a situation you will not find safety.
I pray to Almighty Allah my prediction is totally untrue and baseless. Remember, you are guests here. Your Tabligh, Mosques, Madressahs, Ibaadah, and religious sacrifices are all worthy of commendation. May Almighty Allah grant you Barakah, but do not forget to earn your place in this country. Gain mastery of the national language and become proficient so that you can use it effectively to propagate Islam. Prepare writers and orators and, although you will distance yourself from their religion, do not distance yourself from them. Earn credibility through your daily activities, so much so that if you are entrusted with onerous responsibilities, as was Prophet Yusuf Alayhis Salaam, you do not shirk but embrace all challenges wholeheartedly.
You will have to present a new pattern of life to this country. You will not earn recognition by exerting yourselves in the workplace. If you overwork, you will looked upon disparagingly and be likened to horses and bulls and labelled as money-making machines. However if you can show to the natives here that you are worshippers of Almighty Allah and not wealth, you do not bow before power but only before virtue, you are humans and think like humans, you are concerned not only about yourselves but also about others, and you are compassionate not just to your own children but also to theirs - and to them - you are earnestly concerned about the path of destruction they have chosen for themselves, you will then earn their respect. They will begin to respect Islam and become desirous of studying it. They will ask you for literature concerning Islamic beliefs and practices, and an opportunity will arise here for you to propagate Islam.
However if you remain preoccupied in eating and working and engaged in Prayers, indifferent to what is happening in the country, insulated within Muslims, totally apathetic to what is happening outside, which direction the country is taking, in such a situation if there is any trouble you will not be able to save yourselves.
I have been meaning to convey and emphasise this message to you, because I do not know whether I will be able visit you in the future. You gathered here with love and affection and therefore it was easy for me. As a student of religion it would have been convenient for me to suggest virtues of reciting various Zikr or prescribe certain Wazifahs, but you might not have had an opportunity of listening to the message I have just conveyed from anyone else.
Please strengthen your position in this country and earn your recognition. Do not be like a straw or crop that is uprooted by the slightest breeze. You should be so firm that not even a hurricane is able to shift you. Display such noble character that you enslave the natives, then see how these people will stand to defend you. If there is the slightest opposition against you, they will be the first ones to argue on your behalf and vouch what a blessing you are for them.
May Almighty Allah grant us the ability to understand what is right; may He bless and protect you. Ameen.
