Shah Rukh Khan is a Muslim? Guess again.

I just read the article at Mahaguru58 and I feel disgusted.:
http://mahaguru58.blogspot.com/2011/02/shah-rukh-khan-another-asoka-in-india.html


Why am I disgusted, please see the following video.




He said,'..... next to Ganesha and Lechumi, we put the Quran there.........' After that he even put something on the idol to show blessings. OMG!!!

That guy just made an idol out of the Holy Quran!!!

Not sure wether he is ignorance or a hypocrite. One of the most important and basic thing in Islam is not to make shirk with Allah SWT.


Allah will not forgive those who make shirk with him.

[004:048] In fact, Allah does not forgive 'shirk’ _ (an act of associating others as equal to Him). Baring that, He may forgive anything He wants, and whomever He pleases. The one who commits 'shirk’ has indeed invented a singularly sinister sin!

[004:116] Indeed, Allah does not (ever) forgive ‘shirk’ _ (the sin of associating partners with Him) _ anything else He will forgive for whomever He wills. He, who commits ‘shirk’ has in fact lost his way, and has gone far astray!


Good deeds will not be accepted is you shirk. All the good that you do will be nothing at the Day of Resurrection. Don't be a loser.

[039:065] “It has been revealed to you just as it had been revealed to those before you, that if you commit 'shirk’ (associate partners with Allah) your (good) deeds would surely come to naught, and you would definitely be the losers!”

Note: This could be the reason why the deeds of non-Muslims who associate partners with Allah SWT will not be accepted. They have done such injustice to our Creator!


Hell is the only place for people who shirk

Indeed they do blaspheme those who say that Allah is Jesus, the son of Mary, but Jesus said "O children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord". Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him heaven and the fire will be his abode. (Al Maidah:72)


I shirk because my forefather shirk, what to do...

[007:173] Or lest you should say, “It was in fact our forefathers who started (practicing) 'shirk’ _ (accepted others as Allah’s partners). We were mainly the descendants who came much later. Will you then punish us for the deeds of the wrongdoers?”

[007:174] Thus do We explain the signs in detail; and perchance they may turn (unto Us).

[007:175] Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent Our signs, but he passed them by: so Satan followed him up, and he went astray.

[007:176] If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect.

[007:177] Evil as an example are people who reject Our signs and wrong their own souls.


What if my parents force me to do shirk?

[031:015] Yet if they, (your parents), compel you to commit 'shirk’ (associate partners) with Me _ something you have no knowledge of _ then do not obey. Deal with them in this life with kindness and courtesy, but follow the path of the one who turns to Me in repentance. Towards Me is your retreat! Then, I will relate to you what you used to do.

Note: Let me remind all reader that this happens often in our society. Examples of shirk includes 1. believe in 'azimat' or 'tangkal' (popular to be worn on babies),
2. believe in bomoh,
3. believe in horoscope,
4. believe in rituals which can control weather,
5. 'berzanji'
(comment please if you know more)


I have already shirk, so what should I do?

[008:038] Tell (all) those who have disbelieved, that (even now) if they give up (their skepticism), He will forgive their past deeds. However, if they persist then (remember): a precedent (for punishing the unbelievers) has existed since the earliest generation.

Note: As long as taubah before die, Allah SWT will forgive regardless wether its a small or big shirk.

Solat Reminder for Myself

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

"Allah is He Who created you in (a state of) weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave (you) weakness and gray hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful (i.e. Able to do all things)." (30:54)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) once said: "Prayer is the pillar of religion." (Al-Baihaqi)

The Prophet (pbuh) also said:

"Islam is erected on five pillars: to testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger; to establish prayer; to pay Zakat; to perform Hajj to the Sacred House, and to fast in the month of Ramadan." (Bukhari, Muslim)

Prophet (pbuh) said: "Verily, between man and between polytheism and unbelief is the negligence of prayer." (Muslim)

"What has caused you to enter Hell?" They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their prayers. Nor we used to feed the poor; and we used to talk falsehoods (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers, and we used to belie the Day of Recompense. Until there came to us (the death) that is certain." (72:42-47)

"Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehoods and all that Allah has forbidden). And those who pay the Zakat. And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts). Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, -for then, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors. Those who are faithfully true to their trusts and to their covenants. And those who strictly guard their Salat (five compulsory congregational prayers at their fixed stated hours). These are indeed the inheritors. Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever." (23:1-11)


"Verily, man (disbeliever) was created very impatient; irritable (discontented) when evil touches him; and niggardly when good touches him. Except those devoted to Salat (prayers), those who remain constant in their Salat (prayers), and those in whose wealth there is a known right, for the beggar who asks, and for the unlucky who has lost his property and wealth, (and his means of living has been straitened). And those who believe in the Day of Recompense, and those who fear the torment of their Lord. Verily! The torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure. And those who guard their chastity (ie, private parts from illegal sexual acts), except with their wives and the (women slaves and captives) whom their right hands possess, -for (then) they are not to be blames. But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers. And those who keep their trusts and covenants, and those who stand firm in their testimonies, and those who guard their Salat (prayers) well; such shall dwell in the Gardens (i.e. Paradise) honored."(70:19-35)

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) also said:

"The first thing about which a man is going to be questioned on the Day of Judgment is prayer. If it is found to be sound all his other reactions will be sound as well. If his prayer is not sound all his remaining actions would be spoiled." (Al-Tabarani)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHICH PRAYER IS ACCEPTABLE?

"Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness." (23:2)


"So woe unto those performers of prayers (hypocrites), who delay their Salat (prayer) from its stated fixed time, " (107:4,5)

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) was once sitting in the mosque at Al-Madinah when a bedouin entered and began to pray. He prayed so quickly, that when he had finished, the Prophet (pbuh) asked him to repeat the prayer. His second attempt was just as hurried, so the Prophet (pbuh) asked him to repeat it again. After a third hurried prayer, the bedouin said: "O Messenger of Allah. I cannot pray better than this." The Prophet (pbuh) then showed the man how to pray. He instructed him to recite Surah Al-Fatiha while in the standing position, then to say Tasbih in the Ruku position, to stand upright saying Rabbana lakal hamd, to go down with Sajdah and recite Tasbih, and to sit between the two Sajdah and recite a Du'a. The Prophet (pbuh) advised the bedouin to do this in each Rakaa. (Musnad Ahmad)

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) used to spend a lot of time on each prayer, so that each movement of the prayer could be offered slowly and properly. He once said: "A man's lengthy prayer and short sermon shows that he has a good understanding of the religion." (Muslim, Abu Dawood)

"O you who believer! Seek help in patience and Salat (prayer). Truly! Allah is with the patient." (2:153)

"...and establish prayer for My Remembrance." (20:14)

"...Verily, As-salat (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahsha (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse etc. ) and al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed etc.)..." (29:45)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRAYER AS AN EXPIATION OF SINS

"Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins), " (11:114)

As prayer is the best of all good actions, it can erase many sins. 'Ali narrated that Abu Bakr heard Allah's Messenger (pbuh) saying:

"Whoever commits a sin, but performs ablution in the best way, then offers two Rakat prayer, and he asks for the forgiveness of Allah, Allah almighty forgives his sins." (Ahmad)

In Surah Al-Furqan repentance is described as a way out for those who commit major sins:

"And those who invoke not any other Ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse - and whoever does this shall receive the punishment. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace. Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds, then verily, he repents towards Allah with true repentance. " (25:68-71)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHY DOES MAN ABANDON PRAYER?

Allah Almighty says:

"Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up prayers (i.e. made their prayers to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times, etc.) and have followed lusts. so they will be thrown in Hell. Except those who repent and believe (in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger Muhammad {pbuh}) and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught." (19:59, 60)

Preceding this verse, the Quran gives the example of many previous Prophets and their guided followers. This particular verse explains that the people who abandon prayer are those who follow their own selfish desires. A man can either obey Allah, or he can obey his own wishes; and this obedience is equated to worship by the Quran:

"Have you (O Muhammad {pbuh}) seen him who has taken as his Ilah (god) his own desire? Would you then be a Wakil (a protecting guide) over him?" (25:43)

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) described such people as the sales of Dirhams and Dinars, and things have not change much since his time. Today, the Americans are described by a western author as - 'people who worship the dollar for six days a week, and then they turn to God on the seventh day!"

When a heart is filled with love for money, it has no room for God, and prayer is the first thing to be abandoned.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRAYER: AN EVERLASTING PRESCRIPTION FOR PURITY, CLEANSING OF SINS AND ENTERING PARADISE

(Some Ahadith on prayer)

1. Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said:

"Just see, can anything of his filthiness remain on the body of anyone of you if there were a river at his door in which he washed himself five times daily?" They said, "Nothing of his filthiness will remain (on his body)." He said, "That is like the five prayers by which Allah obliterates sins." (Bukhari, Muslim)

2. Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said:

"Five (daily) prayers and from one Friday prayer to the (next) Friday prayer, and from Ramadan to Ramadan are expiations for the (sins) committed in between (their intervals) provided one shuns the major sins." (Muslim, Tirmidhi)

3. Rabia bin Kab narrated:

I was with Allah's Messenger (pbuh) one night, and I brought him water and what he required. He said to me: "Ask (anything you like)." I said, "I ask your company in Paradise." He said, "Or anything else besides it?" I said, "That is all what I require." He said, "Then help me to achieve this for you by devoting yourself often to prostration." (Muslim)

4. Abu Dhar narrated that Allah's Messenger (pbuh) came out in winter when the leaves were falling. He took hold of a branch (and shook it) and its leaves started falling. Then he said:

"O Abu Dhar!" I said, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "Whenever a Muslim prays seeking the Pleasure of Allah, his sins start falling like the leaves of this tree." (Musnad Ahmad)

5. 'Uqba bin Aamir narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said:

"Your Lord is amazed by that shepherd who is at the top of a mountain (with his sheep) and who calls for prayer and then offer his prayers. Allah Almighty says: Look at this slave of Mine who calls for prayer, then says Iqamah for the prayer, and then prays as he is fearful of me. I have forgiven my slave and admitted him to Paradise." (Abu Dawood, Nasai)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRAYER: A DUTY ON EVERYONE

A child born into a Muslim family begins his life hearing the Adhan in his right ear and the Iqama in his left ear. From his childhood, he should be taught the importance and method of prayer.

'Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas narrated that Allah's Messenger said: "Command your children to pray when they reach the age of seven and admonish them by beating (if they don't pray) at the age of ten. And keep them (i.e. boys and girls) apart in their beds." (Abu Dawood)

Abu Malik Al-Ashjai narrated on the authority of his father that the first thing the Prophet used to teach a new Muslim was the prayer. (Al-Bazzar)

Prayer is just as obligatory for women as it is for men. It is recommended that women should pray at home, but if they wish to attend the mosque for any obligatory prayer, they should not be prevented from doing so.

Abdullah bin Umar once quoted this saying of the Prophet (pbuh) to his son: "If your wife asks permission to go to the mosque you should not stop her." His son Bilal replied: "By Allah, we will stop them." Abdullah was so displeased at this that he criticized his son in strong terms, adding: "I quote to you what Allah's Messenger (pbuh) has said and you say 'we will stop them'. (All report this except Nisai)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pray to Allah SWT so that he will engrave this to my memory. I hope this reminder will be fresh in my mind everyday when I wake up and everyday before I sleep.

Maulidur Rasul?

Assalamualaikum,

Its here again this year and I am not celebrating it in any way. (even so if there are good lectures, I am sure to attend)

Here is the reason:

1. Are you sure that it is 100% the correct date when our Prophet Muhammad SAW was born? If so what is the proof? From what I read, scholars have different views on the date.

2. The Prophet never celebrated it, the Sahabats never celebrated it. Then why are we celebrating it? Claiming something to be a Sunnah without a proof or support from any hadith is a bidaah. And the Prophet warned us about bidaah, the only place for people of bidaah is Hell.

RasoolAllah {sallalahu alayhi was'salam} informed the Sahabah, that they must adhere to his Sunnah and Sunnah of Khulfa Rashideen, and told them that avoid newly invented matters, because every reprehensiable novelty is reprehensiable Biddah, and every reprehensiable Biddah is error:

Sunnan Abu Dawood, Book 40, Number 4590: "Narrated Irbad ibn Sariyah: Abdur Rahman ibn Amr as-Sulami and Hujr ibn Hujr said: ... He then said: I enjoin you to fear Allah, and to hear and obey even if it be an Abyssinian slave, for those of you who live after m
e will see great disagreement. You must then follow my sunnah and that of the rightly-guided caliphs. Hold to it and stick fast to it. Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error."

Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Hadith 1885:Jabir b. Abdullah said: ... He would also say:" The last Hour and I have been sent like these two." and he would join his forefinger and
middle finger; and would further say: "The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the beet of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error." He would further say:, I am more dear to a Muslim even than his self; ..."

Sahih Bukhari, Book 92, Hadith 382: "Narrated 'Abdullah: The best talk (i.e. speech) is Allah's Book {i.e. Quran}, and the best way is the way of Muhammad, and the Worst matters are the heresies (i.e. those new things which are introduced into the religion); and whatever you have been promised will surely come to pass, and you cannot escape (it)."

Prophet {sallalahu alayhi was'salam} warned, that one who intorduces a Biddah {not in harmony with principles of deen, withoud valid reason of Sharia, and
without aproval from Prophet, Sahabah} such a person is cursed by Allah as well as one who shelters him:

Sunan Abu Dawood, Book 39, Hadith 4515: "Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: Qays ibn Abbad and Ashtar went to Ali and said to him: Did the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) give you any instruction about anything for which he did not give any instruction to the people in general? He said: No, except what is contained in this document of mine. Musaddad said: He then took out a document. Ahmad said: A document from the sheath of his sword. It contained: The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them
can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people. Musaddad said: Ibn AbuUrubah's version has: He took out a document."

Sahih Muslim, Book 7, Hadith 3159: 'Asim reported: I asked Anas b. Malik whether Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had declared Medina as sacred. He said: Yes. (the area) between so and so. He who made any innovation in it, and further
said to me: It is something serious to make any innovation in it (and he who does it) there is upon him the curse of Allah, and that of the angels and of all the people, Allah will not accept from him on the Day of Resurrection either obligatory acts or the surpererogatory acts. Ibn Anas said: Or he accommodates an innovator.”

Sahih Muslim, Book 7, Hadith 3166: “Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Medina is a sacred territory, so he who made any innovation in it. or gave protection to an innovator, there is upon him the curse of Allah, that of the angels and that of all the people. There would not be accepted on the Day of Resurrection either obligatory acts or supererogatory acts from h
im.”

Mubtadi {Innovator's}and one who accommodates him are cursed by Allah his angles, and all the people, Messenger of Allah further revealed that Allah will not accept the obligatory acts of worship etc … nor will He accept supererogatory acts, i.e. nawafil prayers, Taraweeh, etc … on the day of judgement, hence without acceptance of Farahid, and Nawafil, person has no basis to enter paradise, he will be sent to fire of hell.

RasoolAllah {sallalahu alayhi was'salam} foretells that on the day
of judgement Allah subhana wa tallah will grant him honour on Al Kauthar, and a group of people will come to Messenger of Allah asking for the water, and angles will remind him that they are innovator's and Messenger of Allah will send them away:

Sahih Muslim, Book 30, Hadith 5706 : “Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Some persons from amongst my associates would turn to my Reservoir {Al Kauthar}; when I would see them and they would be presented to me, they would be detained in the way while coming to me. I would say: My Lord, they are my companions, they are my companions, and it would be said to me: You don't k
now what innovations they made after you?”

Sahih Muslim, Book 30, Hadith 5690: “'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying; I shall be there at the Reservoir {Al Kauthar} before you, and I shall have to contend for some people, but I shall have to yield. I would be saying: My Lord, they are my friends, they are my friends, and it would be said: You don't know what innovations they made after you?”

Sahih Muslim, Book 30, Hadith 5686: “Umm Salama, the wife of All
ah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), said I used to hear from people making a mention of the Reservoir {Al Kauthar}, but I did not hear about it from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). One day while a girl was combing me I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say:" O people." I said to that girl: Keep away from me. She said: He (the Holy Prophet) has addressed the men only and he has not invited the attention of the women. I said: I am amongst the people also (and have thus every right to listen to the things pertaining to religion). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I shall be your harbinger on the Resevoir {Al Kauthar}; therefore, be cautious lest one of you should come (to me) and may be driven away like a stray camel. I would ask the reasons, and it would be said to me: You don't know what innovations they made after you? And I would then also say: Be away.”
3. Its a good time or opportunity to change or educate the Muslim.
My comment is its been more than 50 years and Muslims in Malaysia should have been educated enough. It is not the responsibility for each Muslim to seek knowledge? Dont tell me we only do so during Maulid?

4. Its good to remember our Prophet and his sacrifice. My comment is dont we do that in everyday in our solats? Come on, what type of person remembers his Prophet and his sacrifice only once a year? We should do it everyday.

5. Its just a birthday celebration. What is wrong with you?
My comment: Even if its a birthday, its a Western culture. To be exact it originated from Druid religion and later became a part of Western culture. So you still want to follow something which originated from a Pagan religion? Plus even if I do not consider that, who would celebrate a dead man's birthday? Who is sick enough to do that? Imagine your family who passed away, do you celebrate their birthdays? We only pray for them like how we pray everyday for our Prophet SAW.

6. We have to show to the non-Muslim our religion.
My comment: What do you want to show them? Do we want to show that out religion promotes parades? Come on la, what we need to do is da'wah which is to tell or explain to them the religion it self. No need for parades, I dont see it as a way of da'wah from any angle at all.

I will not stop anyone from celebrating but remember, in the eyes of a non-Muslim it might look like this pictures and they might have the idea that Islam is not so different from their religion after all....

Penerangan hadis 'Sebaik-baik jin adalah sejahat-jahat manusia'

Sumber: http://www.al-ahkam.net/forum09/viewtopic.php?f=165&t=39700


1- Sekadar pencarian kami di sini, tidak dapat ditemui sebuah hadith - sama ada sahih atau dhaif - yang berbunyi seperti yang saudara nyatakan.

2- Apabila dilihat kepada Al-Quran terutamanya, kita dapati bahawa Allah SWT menyamakan di antara jin dan manusia dari segi sebahagiannya baik dan sebahagian lagi tidak..di antaranya ialah seperti:

Dalam surah al-Jinn, ayat 11, Allah SWT menyatakan kata-kata jin:
"Dan bahawa sesungguhnya (memang maklum) ada di antara kita golongan yang baik keadaannya, dan ada di antara kita yang lain dari itu; kita masing-masing adalah menurut jalan dan cara yang berlainan. "

Begitu juga dalam surah al-Jinn juga, ayat 14 dan 15:
"Dan bahawa sesungguhnya (dengan datangnya Al-Quran, nyatalah) ada di antara kita golongan yang berugama Islam, dan ada pula golongan yang (kufur derhaka dengan) menyeleweng dari jalan yang benar; maka sesiapa yang menurut Islam (dengan beriman dan taat), maka merekalah golongan yang bersungguh-sungguh mencari dan menurut jalan yang benar,
Adapun yang menyeleweng dari jalan yang benar, maka mereka menjadi bahan bakaran bagi neraka Jahannam".

Dalam surah al-Dzariyaat, ayat 56:
"Dan (ingatlah) Aku tidak menciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan untuk mereka menyembah dan beribadat kepadaKu".

Dalam surah al-A'raaf, ayat 179:
"Dan sesungguhnya Kami jadikan untuk neraka jahanam banyak dari jin dan manusia yang mempunyai hati (tetapi) tidak mahu memahami dengannya (ayat-ayat Allah), dan yang mempunyai mata (tetapi) tidak mahu melihat dengannya (bukti keesaan Allah) dan yang mempunyai telinga (tetapi) tidak mahu mendengar dengannya (ajaran dan nasihat); mereka itu seperti binatang ternak, bahkan mereka lebih sesat lagi; mereka itulah orang-orang yang lalai".

Maka tidak mungkin sejahat manusia adalah sama tarafnya dengan jin yg baik. Kerana semuanya adalah sama.

wallahu a'lam

Faisal Tehrani lagi

Salam,

Kali ini saya copy paste dari saudara Masri di

http://lobaitampin.blogspot.com/2010/12/buat-mereka-yang-gagal-membezakan.html

Buat Mereka Yang Gagal Membezakan Menangis dan Meratap

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Saya kongsikan tulisan teman di alam maya saya, Ustaz Nasaie yang sedang menuntut ilmu hadis di Mesir. Ia merupakan jawapan kepada seorang novelis terkenal, yang cuba mengaburi mata umat Islam dengan menjadi sumbar-sumber umat Islam untuk menghalalkan perbuatan meratap. Selamat membaca.


ASYURA DAN TANGISAN

Artikel kali ini tidak ingin saya panjangkan tulisannya.

Saya akan terus membincangkan dalil-dalil yang di bawa oleh Dr. Faisal demi menyokong upacara 'Asyura yang saban tahun dirayakan oleh Syi'ah Rafidhah yang telah menyimpang dari landasan al-Quran,Sunnah Rasulullah SAW dan petunjuk Ahli Keluarga Rasulullah SAW yang mulia.

Berdasarkan tulisan ini,maka akan jelaslah kedangkalan ilmu hadith dan tafsir Dr. Faisal Tehrani dan bagaimana beliau hanya mengambil frasa-frasa yang menyokong bid'ah dan dakyahnya sahaja dan pada masa yang sama meninggalkan frasa-frasa lain yang bakal menyembelih tengkuknya sendiri!

KAMI KATAKAN 'YA' PADA MENANGIS

Ayat-ayat al-Quran yang dibawa oleh Dr. Faisal tidak kami ragukan lagi.Bahawasanya tangisan kerana memikirkan kalam Ilahi,tidak dapat menyertai jihad kerana tiadanya kelengkapan perang seperti kenderaan,mengenangkan dosa silam dan sebagainya,adalah dituntut oleh Islam.

Ia menjadi petunjuk bahawa hati seseorang individu itu masih mempunyai sekelumit iman.Masih ada dalam hatinya rasa takutkan Allah,pembalasan hari kiamat dan neraka yang disediakan Allah SWT untuk hamba-hambanya yang kufur dan menderhaka kepadaNYA.

Beliau juga membawa kisah Nabi Ya'qub alaihis salam yang menangisi anakanda Baginda iaitu Nabi Yusof alaihis salam sehinggakan buta kedua-dua belah matanya.

Ingin ditanya kepada Dr. Faisal,di bahagian manakah ayat-ayat al-Quran ini yang menunjukkan bahawa tangisan tersebut disertakan dengan teriakan,meratap meraung dan sebagainya yang seringkali dilakukan oleh golongan Syi'ah Rafidhah?

Jawapan yang pasti ialah TIADA!

Dr. Faisal yang kononnya berhujjah dengan al-Quran untuk menggalakkan tangisan,beliau juga sebenarnya yang lupa bahawa Syia'ah Rafidhah yang telah meninggalkan ajaran al-Quran dengan cara menokok tambah tangisan tersebut dengan upacara-upacara yang tak jauh bezanya dengan perayaan Hindu di Batu Cave!

Bahkan dalam kisah Nabi Ya'qub alaihis salam,siapakah yang mengatakan bahawa Baginda menangisi seorang insan yang telah meninggal dunia?

Bahkan Nabi Ya'qub alaihis salam mengetahui bahawa puteranya masih bernafas melalui wahyu Allah SWT.Sesiapa sahaja yang mendalami tafsir surah Yusuf akan memahami isi kandungan surah tersebut dan apa yang saya sampaikan ini.


ANALISA HADITH-HADITH YANG DIJADIKAN HUJJAH OLEH DR.FAISAL

Sebagaimana artikel-artikel yang lepas,Dr. Faisal masih lagi tak jemu-jemu untuk mengemukakan dalil hadith dari kitab Ahli Sunnah.

Kononnya,melalui cara ini,beliau berjaya membuktikan bahawa tradisi meratap dan meraung ini ada juga dalam tradisi dan sumber-sumber muktabar Sunni sendiri.

Dan akhirnya,beliau menuduh kita zalim terhadap Syi'ah kerana kita tidak mengkaji sesuatu isu secara telus bahkan secara membabi buta menuduh Syi'ah tanpa bukti yang jelas dan kukuh!

Alangkah dangkalnya kesimpulan yang dibawa.

Sebagaimana yang diketahui,Dr. Faisal bukanlah seorang graduan bahagian tafsir ataupun hadith.Oleh yang demikian,memang jelaslah bahawa Dr. Faisal tidak dapat membezakan sumber rujukan primer atau sekunder bagi kedua-dua bidang pengajian Islam ini.

Bahkan nama-nama kitab yang disebutkan oleh beliau juga menunjukkan kepincangan beliau dalam meneliti peringkat dan keabsahan sesuatu rujukan.Apatah lagi untuk beliau memahami metodologi penulis kitab berkenaan.

Jika kedudukan sesuatu kitab dan metodologi penulis tidak difahami dengan baik,maka mana mungkin isi kandungan kitab dapat dihidangkan di kalangan pembaca dengan kefahaman yang betul dan jelas.

Hadith yang dinilai dhaif oleh para pengkritik hadith telah disembahkan kepada pembaca sebagai sahih dan dijadikan hujjah!

Alangkah pincangnya ilmu beliau sehingga saya tertanya-tanya,apa guna ijazah kedoktoran yang ada?

Saya tidak marah jika beliau mahu menulis tentang Ahmadi Nejad atau Iran.

Tetapi jika ingin menulis tentang Islam,ingin saya katakan padanya 'HORMATILAH PENGKHUSUSAN ILMIAH!'

(A) Beliau membawa dalil hadith Rasulullah SAW yang bersumber dari hadith Anas Ibn Malik semasa kewafatan anak Baginda SAW iaitu Ibrahim r.anhu.

Jika diteliti hadith riwayat al-Bukhari itu (no.1303) maka kita akan dapati kenyataan Rasulullah SAW iaitu " Kita tidak akan menyebut/mengatakan sesuatu kecuali yang meredhakan Tuhan kita."

Frasa ini seharusnya diberikan penekanan oleh kita semua.

Frasa ini seharusnya dilihat bersama dengan sebuah lagi hadith yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam al-Bukhari yang juga bersumber dari hadith Abdullah Ibn Umar (no.1304) dan juga oleh Imam Muslim (no.924) iaitu 'Allah SWT tidak akan mengazab seseorang itu disebabkan tangisan ataupun kesedihan hati.Tetapi Allah SWT akan mengazab disebabkan ini (maka Rasulullah SAW menunjukkan kepada mulutnya) dan begitu juga Allah akan mengazab seseorang yang berdoa dengan doa jahiliah.'

Berdasarkan dua hadith di atas,dapatlah difahami bahawa Rasulullah SAW memerintahkan agar kita mengelak menghadapi kematian sebagaimana orang jahiliah menghadapi kematian samaada dari segi percakapan ataupun perbuatan.

Tradisi arab jahiliah semasa menghadapi kematian adalah dengan terpekik terlolong,meratap,meraung,memukul badan dan menaburkan pasir dan debu tanah di atas badan.

Perkara ini semuanya telah dilarang oleh Rasulullah SAW berdasarkan hadith-hadith yang sahih.Adapun saranan al-Quran ialah agar kita mengucapkan istirja' iaitu ' Inna Lillah Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'un.'


(B) Dr. Faisal juga telah membawa dalil hadith dari Musnad Imam Ahmad yang menceritakan kesyahidan Hamzah r.anhu di Uhud.

Dalil yang kedua ini menunjukkan kepincangan dan kebejatan Dr. Faisal dalam mengemukakan dalil.

Maaf di atas kekasaran bahasa saya!

Masakan saya tidak marah apabila hadith tersebut dipotong bahagian yang penting yang bakal memancung batang leher Syiah Rafidhah!

Alangkah kejinya sifat tidak amanah dalam menukilkan hadith Rasulullah SAW dan kalam ahli ilmu.Inilah Syiah zaman berzaman.Hidup dengan pendustaan!

Hadith tersebut telah diriwayatkan oleh para ulama' hadith seperti berikut :

(a) Imam Ahmad telah meriwayatkan hadith kesyahidan Hamzah r.anhu dan tiadanya sesiapapun yang menangisi Hamzah r.anhu melalui 3 jalan yang semuanya bersumber dari jalan Usamah Ibn Zaid daripada Nafi' daripada Ibn Umar r.anhum.(no.4984,5563 dan 5666).{penomboran adalah edisi Syaikh Syuaib al-Arnauth,al-Risalah)

(b) Abu Ya'la al-Musili telah meriwayatkan hadith tersebut juga dari jalan Usamah Ibn Zaid dan dari jalan Anas Ibn Malik.(no.3610){penomboran adalah berdasarkan nota kaki Tanqih al-Tahqiq,edisi Adwa' al-Salaf}

(c) Ibn Majah telah meriwayatkan hadith ini juga melalui jalan Usamah Ibn Ziad.(no.1591) {penomboran edisi Dr.Bassyar 'Awwad,Dar al-Jail}

Sealain daripada tiga ulama' ini,masih terdapat tokoh-tokoh hadith yang lain yang memuatkan hadith ini dalam kitab-kitab mereka seperti al-Tahawi,Ibn Abi Syaibah dan lain-lain tetapi semuanya adalah bersumber daripada jalan Usamah Ibn Zaid daripada Nafi' daripada Ibn Umar r.anhuma.

Secara amanah ingin dinyatakan di sini bahawa para ulama' hadith berselisih pendapat tentang status hadith ini antara yang mendhaifkan dan yang menghasankan hadith ini.

(1) Antara yang mendhaifkan hadith ini ialah al-Busiri dalam Misbah al-Zujajah dan Ibn al-Jauzi dalam al-Tahqiq.

Mereka mendhaifkan hadith ini kerana ia bersumber dari Usamah Ibn Zaid.Ibn al-Jauzi berhujjah dengan kata-kata Imam Ahmad bahawa Usamah meriwayatkan hadith-hadith yang mungkar dari Nafi'.Yahya Ibn Said al-Qattan juga meninggalkan hadith Usamah.Dan Usamah di sisi mereka adalah dhaif.{ms 679,670,jil 2,tanqih al-Tahqiq,edisi Adwa' al-Salaf}

(2) Majoriti ulama' hadith menghukum hadith ini sebagai Hasan.Mereka adalah seperti Syaikh Ahmad Syakir dan Syaikh Syuaib dalam tahqiq al-Musnad,Syaikh al-Albani dan Syaikh Bassyar 'Awwad dalam tahqiq Sunan Ibn Majah.

Ini,kerana pada mereka Usamah Ibn Zaid dinilai sebagai 'hasanul hadith' (hadithnya hasan) dengan syarat beliau tidak menyalahi riwayat perawi lain yang lebih terpercaya (thiqah).

Apapun,jika hadith ini dhaif maka ia tidak boleh dijadikan hujjah.

Jika hadith ini sahih (dan ini adalah pendapat yang lebih tepat) maka ia juga menjadi pedang tajam buat membongkar jenayah ilmiah Dr. Faisal!

Bagaimana?

Beliau telah menterjemah kenyataan Rasulullah SAW iaitu ' Hamzah,tiada seorang pun yang menangis untuknya. ' melalui satu sudut yang lain iaitu seolah-olah Rasulullah SAW menyuruh para wanita tersebut menangis untuk Hamzah.Ia juga mengandungi isyarat bahawa Rasulullah SAW memerintahkan kita agar menangisi pejuang Islam.

Apapun tafsiran beliau,kenapa disembunyikan penghujung hadith tersebut?

Dalam hadith yang sama Rasulullah SAW telah terganggu tidurnya pada malam itu kerana suara tangisan para wanita ansar itu.Maka Rasulullah SAW telah memerintahkan agar mereka disuraikan dan Baginda melarang umat Islam untuk menangis lagi atas kematian seseorang selepas itu (yang melebihi batasan yang dibenarkan syarak).

Nah,lihatlah nilai amanah Dr.Faisal!

Dan dalam masa yang sama,ketika sampainya berita tangisan ahli keluarga Ja'far setelah syahidnya beliau,Maka Rasulullah SAW telah memerintahkan mereka agar mereka ditegah daripada menangis.Setelah diberitahu kepada Rasulullah SAW bahawa mereka tidak berhenti,maka Rasulullah SAW telah memerintahkan agar disumbat tanah ke dalam mulut mereka.

Hadith ini telah diriwayatkan oleh al-Bukhari (no.1299) dan al-Nasaie (no.1846) melalui hadith 'Aisyah r.anha {penomboran berdasarkan edisi al-durar al-saniyyah}

Nah,lihatlah betapa tegasnya Rasulullah SAW dalam masalah tangisan ini.

Hadith wanita Ansar menangis itu adalah selepas perang Uhud.Pada hari yang sama juga Rasulullah SAW telah menegah dari menangisi si mati secara berlebihan.Dan syahidnya Ja'far,Abdullah Ibn Rawahah dan Zaid Ibn Harithah adalah dalam peperangan Mu'tah yang berlaku lama selepas itu.Dan Rasulullah masih lagi bertegas agar jangan ditangisi secara melampau.

Nah,di manakah amanah Dr. Faisal?


(C) Adapun hadith Fatimah r.anha menangisi Ja'far r.anhu dan sabda Rasulullah SAW bahawa seharusnya ditangisi kematian insan seperti Ja'far maka hadith tersebut telah disebut oleh Imam al-Suyuti dalam al-Jami' al-Saghir (no.5465).

Lafaz tersebut telah dirawayatkan oleh Abd al-Razzaq dalam al-Musannaf (6666/550/3) dalam menceritakan kisah syahidnya Ja'far r.anhu.

Namun hadith itu dinilai dhaif oleh Syaikh al-Albani kerana seorang perawinya adalah majhul.
(n0. 3883,jil 8,ms 340,edisi matabah al-ma'aarif).

Dalam masa yang sama,hadith ini bertentangan dengan riwayat al-Bukhari dan al-Nasaie di atas yang melarang ahli keluarga Ja'far daripada menangisi beliau.Bagaimana mungkin,di sini Rasulullah SAW menggalakkannya pula.

Bagi para pelajar hadith,semata-mata di sebut Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq,dia sudah tahu cerita yang berkaitan dengan riwayat-riwayat sebegini dalam kitab tersebut.Di sini bukan perbahasannya.

Menyembunyikan apa yang bakal meruntuhkan bid'ah puak Syiah Rafidhah kesayangannya!


(D) Adapun riwayat bahawa 'Aisyah r.anha meratapi kematian ayahnya iaitu Abu Bakr r.anhu,maka ingin dinyatakan di sini,dari perkataan manakah diterjemahkan perkataan 'meratap'.

Dalam riwayat-riwayat tersebut yang ada ialah kalimah 'yabkiina' iaitu mereka menangis.Terjemahan nya ialah menangis dan bukannya ratapan seumpama ratapan jahiliah.Tambahan pula,apabila perkara itu (menangis beramai-ramai di rumah Abu Bakar) diketahui oleh Umar r.anhu,maka Baginda telah meleraikannya.Ini menunjukkan bahawa Baginda sedang melaksanakan perintah Rasulullah SAW agar tidak ditangisi si mati apatah lagi berhimpun untuk menangisinya sebagaimana dalam hadith syahidnya Ja'far di atas.

(E) Riwayat al-Tirmizi bahawasanya Ummu Salamah telah bermimpi didatangi Rasulullah SAW dalam keadaan berdebu janggut dan rambutnya kerana kematian Husain r.anhu,maka telah dijelaskan sebelum ini.Hadith itu didhaifkan oleh Imam Tirmizi sendiri dalam kitabnya.

Di manakah amanah ilmiah wahai Dr. Faisal?

(F) Adapun ayat Surah al-Zaariyat itu,ingin ditanya,dari kalimah manakah ia menunjukkan perbuatan memukul mukanya itu berulang-ulang?


KESIMPULAN

Akhirnya,jelaslah kepincangan Dr. Faisal dalam mengemukakan dalil dan meneliti uslub bahasa Arab dalam memahami dalil.

Beliau tidak bisa mengkaji rentetan sesuatu peristiwa untuk menentukan yang mana dahulu dan yang mana kemudia.Ilmu ini penting untuk mengetahui hukum hakam yang paling akhir yang dititahkan oleh Rasulullah SAW.Ilmu inilah yang dipanggil ilmu nasikh dan mansukh.

Beliau juga buta ilmu Usul Fiqh dalam memahami dua topik penting iaitu perbahasan :

(a) Keabsahan fatwa,kenyataan dan perbuatan seseorang sahabat

(b) Keabsahan syariat orang terdahulu (dalam kes ini ialah perbuatan Sarah dan Nabi Ya'qub alaihis salam)

Akhirnya,nasihat saya buat diri saya dan semua,berpegang teguhlah pada al-Quran dan al-Sunnah.Jauhkanlah diri kalian dari syubhat Syiah Rafidhah yang menyeleweng.Doakan hidayat untuk kita dan mereka.

Ameen..

God's Power & Will: Answers to Common Questions

Salam,

This a post by Bro Hamza at
http://hamzatzortzis.blogspot.com/2010/03/gods-power-will.html

Please read up on his blog. This is just one of his post.


During the Islamic Awareness Week tour, which is now coming to an end, I realised there were common questions raised throughout the lectures and presentations. As a result I felt it would be beneficial for the reader to have the answers to these questions available in short posts. The questions raised were varied and included issues pertaining to the existence of God, God’s nature, Islamic Law, and Islamic Theology. In this post I will attempt to answer two questions that frequently arise during the lectures related to God’s nature.

These questions are:

1. If God is all powerful can He do anything, including creating a stone He cannot move?
2. Can God have free will if He knows everything?

If God is all powerful can He do anything, including creating a stone He cannot move?

The Islamic theological position regarding God’s ability is eloquently summed up in the following creedal statement found in The Creed of Imam Al-Tahawi. It states,

“…He is Omnipotent. Everything is dependent on Him, and every affair is effortless for Him.”

A common contention or question regarding God’s power and ability is that if God is omnipotent then can He create a stone He cannot move? A key point to make in answering this question is to highlight that ‘Omnipotence’ is misconstrued as ‘all powerful’. What omnipotence really implies is the ability to actualise every affair, rather than raw power. So God being able to “create a stone He cannot move” actually describes an affair that is impossible and meaningless, just like if we were to say “a white black crow” or “a circle triangle” or even an “amphibian mammal”.

Such statements describe nothing at all and have no informative value, they are meaningless. So why should we even answer a question that has no meaning? To put it bluntly the question is not even a question.

Another way of looking at this is that since God is all powerful it means that He will always be able to do what He wills, as the creedal statement above mentions “…and every affair is effortless for Him.” Therefore omnipotence also includes the impossibility of failure. The questioner however is saying that since God is all powerful He can do anything which includes failure! This is irrational and absurd as it is equivalent to saying “an all powerful being cannot be an all powerful being”!

To conclude, God can create stone that is heavier than anything we can imagine, but He will always be able to move the stone, what must be understood is that failure is not an aspect of omnipotence.

Can God have free will if He knows everything?

In Islamic theology God is ‘All-Knowing’ and His will is always fulfilled. As a result people have questioned “Can God really have free will if He knows everything? Especially since that His knowledge includes things that He will do? And if He knows what He will do, doesn’t that make His actions dependent on His foreknowledge? Therefore He has no free will?”

The answer to this question is quite straight forward. The questioner has equated knowledge of the future with the cause of future events. For example if I know my daughter is going to wake up a 7:00 am tomorrow morning, and when the morning comes she does wake up at that time (usually having a good pull at my beard!), what caused her to wake up? It surely isn’t my knowledge of the fact that she will wake up at the time; rather it’s her biological ‘clock’ – not to forget that it is also due to the fact that she is hungry or wants to play! Similarly if I know I will lift 140 kilos bench press when I go to the gym tomorrow does that mean that my knowledge of being able to lift that amount made me do it? No, the fact is that my choice of going to the gym, including my physiological make up, has caused me to be able to lift that weight, and not the knowledge of the fact that I can.

So God’s foreknowledge of future events, including His own actions, doesn’t mean that His knowledge caused Him to act in a certain way. For example, the fact that He created the world and placed human beings as vicegerents on it doesn’t mean His foreknowledge of it forced him to do it. Also God’s foreknowledge of the fact that He will enter people in paradise doesn’t make Him do it, rather His mercy and love is the reason. This is eloquently summarised in The Creed of Imam Al-Tahawi,

“He guides, protects, and preserves whomever He wills by His grace. And He misguides, forsakes, and afflicts whomever He wills by justice…God has always known the total number of those who will enter paradise and those who will enter the fire. Nothing is added to or subtracted from that number.”

So His guidance will not manifest itself because He knows who would be guided, rather it is due to His grace, and God doesn’t contradict His nature. In summary foreknowledge doesn’t equal causality.

End Note

In the next posts more questions will be answered relating to varied topics. This doesn’t mean I have all the answers, I don’t. It just means that I have tried to follow the Qur’anic value of “If you don’t know ask those who know” and it is something I advise everyone to do. In Islam God is the source of all knowledge, so to ask is to learn and to learn is to free ourselves from ignorance, as the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) said,

“The cure to ignorance is to ask and learn.” I pray we all proceed in that light, ameen.

Mengulas Faizal Tehrani

Salam,

Sudah lama membaca blog Faisal Tehrani. Semakin hari kelihatan dia semakin berani untuk mempromosikan ajaran Syiah.

Kalau dulu ditulisnya sikit-sikit tanpa mendedahkan yang dia ni pengikut Syiah. Saya bukan hendak mengkomen dia ni sebab JAIS tangkap kumpulan syiah tetapi saya rasa menjadi tanggungjawab saya untuk mendedahkan penulisannya yang berbaur syiah dengan campuran fakta daripada Quran dan hadis serta pandangan Syiah yang asasnya adalah tanggapan dan intuisi sahaja.

Saya meminta para membaca untuk membaca blognya terutamanya:
http://tehranifaisal.blogspot.com/2010/12/menangislah-ia-halal-bahagian-akhir.html
http://tehranifaisal.blogspot.com/2010/12/menangislah-ia-sunnah-nabi-bahagian-2.html
http://tehranifaisal.blogspot.com/2010/12/menangislah-ia-sunnah-nabi-bahagian-1.html

Mungkin ada yang terbaca dan saya harap banyak yang perasan yang Faizal Tehrani telah melakukan sesuatu yang jijik apabila dia menggunakan ayat-ayat Quran serta hadis-hadis yang berkaitan 'menangis' dan mengaitkannya dengan tuntutan dalam Syiah untuk menangis untuk Husin.

Kita haruslah berfikiran logik dan kritis apabila membaca penulisan seperti ini kerana ianya boleh menyebabkan pemikiran seseorang diperalatkan untuk percaya buta. Bacalah entry saya sebelum ini mengetahui bagaimana ini boleh berlaku.

Daripada kebanyakkan ayat Quran dan hadis yang telah digunakan Faizal Tehrani, didapati orang yang rapat dan mengenali 'si mati' akan menangis semasa kematiannya. Ini adalah tidak salah lansung. Dan tiada juga salah untuk menangis apabila kita teringatkan sesiapa sahaja terutamanya mereka yang telah meninggal dan sangat rapat dengan kita.

Tapi masalahnya, tiada pula mana-mana hadis yang suruh menangis untuk orang yang telah pergi itu pada setiap tahun atau pada hari-hari tertentu. Dari mana idea Faizal Tehrani dapat supaya menangis untuk Husin pada setiap tahun? Mana lagi kalau dia sendiri dah termakan pendapat Syiah yang tidak berasas lansung. Kalau benarlah ada logik untuk menangis semasa hari kematian Husin RA, maka kita kena menangis banyak kali la sebab banyak lagi orang-orang seperti Nabi SAW, Abu Bakar RA, Ali RA dan lain-lain lagi. Silap hari kena la menangis hari-hari. Sebab Sunnah?

JOKE!

Banyak sahaja hadis yang boleh dirujuk di mana Nabi Muhamamd SAW suruh jangan terlalu bersedih dan berkabung secara keterlaluan. Malas sebenarnya saya nak komen tapi terlalu ramai sangat orang yang percaya akan penulisannya. Saya hanya minta nak baca boleh tapi bacalah dan berfikir secara kritis sebelum menerima. Pastikan ada yang dibaca disemak dahulu kebenarannya barulah percaya.

Ada banyak lagi bukti. Bacalah sendiri:

Kalau kat forum lebih banyak perbincangan. Orang macam ni takde la pulak Pejabat Agama ambik tidakan. Siap guna buku pemulisannya dalam Silibus Pendidikan.
