Aku diantara dua Cinta

Bismmillah. Dengan nama Allah.



sedang aku menjamu selera perut. aku terlihat seorang lelaki tua dengan cucunya (mungkin). aku terpandang dan terpaku. agak lama aku disitu merenung memikirkan 1001 sangka. lelaki tua itu melayan cucunya yang berbaju melayu ungu. layanannya yang sederhana sambil melemparkan senyuman sempurna.

aku terpandang sambil bermain straw air milo ais. berborak bersama rakan seperjuangan universiti. sahaja meluangkan sedikit masa nak merehatkan minda yang terbeban dengan projek, asignment yang bertimbun bak gunung. terpandang pada tv mengenai telatah dunia yang tidak pernah tidur dengan isu-isu semasa. Allah menghiburkan aku dengan melihat orang tua tadi yang berkopiah dengan kain pelekat berbaju melayu. mungkin baru puland dari masjid barangkali. terlintas hati teringat akan ayah.

sungguh pengorbanan seorang ayah itu besar. jikalaw pergi kemana-mana ceramah motivasi, akan dikhususkan menghormati ibu. Aku tidaklah menafikan hadis nabi, sabdanya.

Dari Abu Hurairah R.A. bersabda.
[ seorang lelaki datang menemui Rasulullah S.A.W. dan bertanya. "Siapakah manusia yang paling berhak aku layan dengan sebaik-baiknya?" maka dijawabnya Rasulullah " Ibu kamu" dia bertanya lagi," kemudian siapa.?" maka baginda menjawab " ibu kamu" maka dia bertanya lagi,"kemudian siapa?" maka baginda menjawab," Ibu kamu ", maka ditanya lagi," Kemudian siapa.?" akhirnya Rasulullah menjawab " Bapa kamu"]

cuma aku nak sampaikan yang ayah juga mempunyai aura nya tersendiri. aku ingat lagi bila ayah mengamanahkan aku memandu viva hijau kepunyaan mak untuk dipandu dari tol Alor Setar sampai ke rumah di Taiping. waktu tu, pandangan ayah menjadi seperti pandangan mak. sayu penuh dengan kerisauan. dipesannya berkali-kali kepada ku agar memandu berhati-hati bukan berbuta tuli. waktu tu, Allah maha mengetahui perasaan aku. hanya kerana 2 mata memandang, aku menjadi pemandu yang cemerlang.hahaha.. sebabnya sebelum ni aku pandu viva hijau macam aku bawa lamboghini hijau. sampaikan ter'kantoi' dengan mak aku.

'Aku antara 2 Cinta' saja aku pilih tajuk ni untuk diisi dalam blog. mungkin dapat meanrik minat pemuda-pemuda dan pemudi-pemudi barangkali. tapi aku jua adalah remaja yang tidak pernah lena dengan dunia fana. merasai mencintai dan dicintai merupakan lumrah jiwa remaja. aku jua pernah terperangkap dengannya.

Perkenalan aku dengan seorang gadis yang muda setahun dari aku waktu aku belajar di ting. 5. waktu tu nak dekat SPM. mungkin azam ingin mencari calon isteri kuat waktu tu, mana tak nya dah nak habis belajar. mula la rasa macam dewasa cikit, walaupun hakikatnya tidak. Melihat telatahnya, pakaiannya yang tertutup elok, gelak tawanya menarik minat aku. tapi agama tetap 'first priority'. Percintaan 2 tahun tu tak pernah lagi aku hiaskan dengan 'dating', bersentuh tangan sebagainya, apatah lagi nak bertentang mata.

Tapi Allah menarik dia dari aku. aku terfikir juga dimana salah dan silap aku. sekarang dah nak hampir setahun aku berpisah, aku bermuhasabah. Just take a time for a while to think what the reason Allah fate it like this. dan sekarang baru aku terfikir.

mungkin disebabkan aku lupa akan cinta keluarga aku. aku lupa akan keluarga yang support aku 24 jam tanpa henti, tak pernah kenal penat lelah. dari mula pengajian diploma sampai ke akhir. nak habis dah pon. dah nak dekat latihan industri mak ayah sokong aku dari belakang. dari kewangan pakaian semua lengkap.

Hidup tak pernah kenal erti ujian-Nya. Allah menarik dia dari aku mungkin nak menyedarkan aku, nak mengejutkan aku, nak beri pengajaran kat aku, apa yang aku terlepas pandang.

need to rewind back starting from the basic, to know where is the mistake. may Allah bless me and those who's read this and families. yang dok sibuk bercinta tu, aku nasihatkan cepat-cepat la kawen. tak elok hubungan ni lama-lama nanti takut jadi lain. lagi pun aku lapaq nasi minyak ni. hahaha

hanya lah nukilan hati,
jangan terasa hati,
jangan terguris hati,
jangan termakan hati,

hanyalah nukilan hati,
untuk dihayati,
untuk diteladani,
untuk dipelajari.

10 tips to becoming a Productive Muslimah

 
 
Ini hanyalah perkongsian dari blog http://sisi-kehidupan.blogspot.com
 
There is a profound statement by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah which says: ‘Women are one half of society which gives birth to the other half so it is as if they are the entire society.’
 
If women make up nearly all of society, shouldn’t we be striving to be productive in this life for the next? Yet we know it’s no easy task being a Muslimah today! In fact, being a sister, mother, wife, professional and more means a Muslimah in the modern day can find herself struggling to be productive, trying to juggle all the tasks on that ever-growing to-do list. Here’s the good news though: at Productive Muslim we believe in starting off with a sincere intention and working hard to reach our end goal.
 
So “who’s a Productive Muslimah?” I hear you asking. We believe a productive Muslimah is a woman who uses all the resources around her with a mission to live her life to excellence, ultimately working to achieve the highest stations in Jannah. Once a Muslimah in the world is armed with these tools she can achieve some great things insha Allah!
In this article we’re going to start exploring the top 10 tips to becoming a Productive Muslimah and we’ll look at the practical steps you can take to live a more productive life.

1. Have sincere intentions

At Productive Muslim we have a motto which says: ‘Have sincere intentions and work hard’. This is the motto of the life of a productive Muslimah. By beginning with sincere intentions in any of our actions, whether as a working professional by going to work with a good intention to bring about positive difference or as a busy wife or mother looking after the family, we are able to gain rewards and blessings in our actions so start off with a sincere intention always!

2. Be proactive

One of the best lessons I’ve learnt in life is that in order to be productive, we need to be proactive. This doesn’t mean in order to be productive you have to be busy; in fact, busy people may be unproductive. Instead, you must focus your energy on being active in areas which will bring about benefit to your overall life goals insha Allah. For example, one of the ways I am proactive is by attending personal and spiritual development courses and then sharing that with others through writing articles or delivering talks. We find that in the example of the historical and contemporary figures, being proactive is one of the traits of successful Muslimahs.

3. Seek knowledge

It is often said that if you ‘educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a nation’ which highlights the importance of sisters continuously seeking knowledge.
To become a productive Muslimah, seek out courses from those available online through various Islamic organisations to offline seminars and courses locally which will help to develop your knowledge. In the modern era, accessing books on Kindle and in libraries and bookshops means you can read up on almost any subject that you need to develop your knowledge in and then impart it to your children, families and wider community.

4. Plan your time effectively

One of the secrets of being productive is that you don’t waste time! One of the first things a productive Muslimah must do is plan her time effectively, this includes scheduling in time to study, work, pray and spend with family and if you have children slot in time for them and yourself so you don’t burn out. Choose wisely how you spend your time; you can use our fantastic Taskinator online to help you get started. One of the profound sayings on the benefits of utilising time well is by one of the great scholars, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah who stated: ‘If Allah wants goodness for His slave He aids him with time and makes his time a helper for him.’

5. Be self-reflective

As a proactive Muslimah, it can be difficult at times to assess how effectively you are using time and being able to fulfill all your roles. With this in mind, it is recommended you regularly take time out for self- reflection, perhaps at the end of each day you can journal what went well in your day and also be critical of how you could use your time better for the next day. Only with continual self-reflection and feedback are we able to grow, develop and become more productive insha Allah.

6. Focus on Quality over Quantity

There’s a hadith which often reminds me that as Muslims we need to strive to perfect whatever task or project we embark on; the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: ‘Allah loves that when you do anything, you do it with excellence.’ [Muslim] As a Muslimah embarking on any activity, always remind yourself that it has to be quality over quantity. It’s better to excel in one area, such as writing or being a good mother, than to do a mediocre job by focussing on too many things. A productive Muslimah always strives to excel at what she does and isn’t satisfied with mediocrity.

7. Do your best!

Some of the most inspiring stories of the wives of the Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) and many other productive Muslimahs show that they worked hard to be the best in their roles, such as Khadijah raḍyAllāhu 'anha (may Allāh be pleased with her) who was a successful business woman. As a wife or a mother, you may focus on being supportive to your husband and that small action alone can be one of the ways you are a productive wife. Giving your best to your roles and task at hand requires focus and for you to expend your energy only at the task at hand.

8. Be resourceful

Living in the information and technology era, we are a generation that have been equipped with many useful technological tools, books, networks and knowledge which we can use to be more productive and organised in our lives. You can use tools online to help manage your time, such as those in our Resources section, to develop your knowledge and learn many new skills online with courses which will make you more resourceful. Use these resources to lead a more productive life.

9. Strive to benefit others

Many of the productive Muslimahs from history to modern day have achieved great things because of their understanding of this beautiful hadith where the Prophet  ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)  said: ‘The best of you are those who benefit mankind’. [Bukhari] Always ask yourself this question: ‘will my actions benefit others?’ This will help you to decide what action is worthwhile and help you set up initiatives as a mother, wife, professional or student to bring about benefit to those around you which will also benefit your own self.

10. Put your trust in Allah

Finally, the productive Muslimah, despite her striving and efforts, must always be mindful that success in achieving her goals will only come from Allah who says in the Quran: “Put your trust in Allah if you are believers indeed.” [Qur'an: Chapter 5, Verse 23] This focus on spiritual productivity is the secret ingredient to being successful. As a Muslimah, you must work hard, contribute to society and plan your time effectively around prayers, then place your trust in Allah by always making dua for Him to help you achieve the ultimate success in this life and the Hereafter.
 
So that’s the top 10 secret tips to become a productive Muslimah but by no means an exhaustive list!

Panduan Solat Jenazah (doa arab)


Seringkali kita lihat di sekeliling kita satu persatu orang pergi meninggalkan keluarga dan sahabat handai, itu dinamakan sudah ajal. Apabila seseorang itu mati, maka menjadi tanggungjawab sesetengah daripada manusia di sekelilingnya untuk menguruskan jenazahnya kerana menguruskan jenazah hukumnya fardhu kifayah yakni jika ada satu golongan sudah melaksanakannya, maka semua golongan di sesuatu tempat itu terlepas dari dosa besar.
Walaupun hukumnya fardhu kifayah, apa yang dapat aku lihat masih ramai yang tidak mengetahui bagaimana untuk melakukan solat jenazah. Sebaik-baik mayat yang disolatkan adalah diimamkan oleh anaknya sendiri. Jadi cuba korang tepuk dada dan tanya diri sendiri, apakah aku mengerti melakukan solat jenazah jika orang tuaku meninggal kelak? Tidak malukah jika membiarkan penghormatan terakhir (solat) dilakukan oleh orang lain dari keluarga sendiri?
Persediaan solat jenazah:
  • Mayat mestilah diletakkan melintang ke arah kiblat.
  • Mayat lelaki kepalanya sebelah kiri imam dan imam berdiri di sebelah kepada atau dada mayat.
  • Mayat perempuan kepalanya sebelah kanan imam dan imam berdiri di pinggangnya.
  • Bagi solat ghaib, imam dan makmum mengadap qiblat tanda ada jenazah di depan.
Disarankan saf untuk solat jenazah dijadikan sebanyak 3 baris dan makmum yang menyolatkan mayat dituntut melebihi 40 orang. Dalam solat jenazah, tiada rukuk dan sujud, jadi makmum harus berdiri rapat antara satu sama lain dengan makmum yang di hadapan.
Cara solat jenazah:

1. Berdiri dengan betul dan melafazkan niat solat jenazah seperti berikut.


2. Mengangkat takbir pertama (اَ للهُ اَكْبَرُ) berserta dengan niat di dalam hati dan diteruskan dengan membaca surah Al-Fatihah.

3. Mengangkat takbir kedua (اَ للهُ اَكْبَرُ) kemudian membaca selawat ke atas junjungan besar Rasulullah s.a.w seperti berikut.






4. Mengangkat takbir ketiga (اَ للهُ اَكْبَرُ) kemudian membaca doa seperti berikut.


5. Mengangkat takbir keempat iaitu takbir terakhir (اَ للهُ اَكْبَرُ) kemudian membaca doa berikut.


6. Memberi salam ke kanan dan ke kiri.
Selesai beri salam, korang bolelah membaca surah Al-Ikhlas (3 kali), surah Al-Falaq (1 kali), surah An-Nas (1 kali), surah Al-Fatihah (1 kali), surah Al-Baqarah ayat 1-5 (1 kali), ayat Qursi (1 kali) dan baca doa yang sesuai.

————————-
Di atas adalah panduan lengkap bagi yang ingin berlajar bersungguh-sungguh tentang solat jenazah dan jika korang dalam kategori susah untuk mengingati dan menghafal panduan di atas, bolehlah lihat panduan ringkas yang turut aku sediakan di bawah. Yang penting kita mesti tahu bagaimana untuk melaksanakan solat jenazah.
1. Niat dalam hati sambil melafazkan takbir (اَ للهُ اَكْبَرُ) seperti berikut:
Sahaja aku solat jenazah terhadap mayat ini, 4 takbir, fardhu kifayah kerana Allah Ta’ala.
Kemudian baca surah Al-Fatihah.
2. Setelah takbir kedua, baca selawat ke atas Nabi.
Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad.
3. Setelah takbir ketiga, baca doa berikut.
Allahummargh firlahu warhamhu (untuk mayat lelaki)
Allahummargh firlaha warhamha (untuk mayat perempuan)
Untuk mayat kanak-kanak yang belum baligh, tidak dibacakan doa ini kerana mereka masih tidak dikira dosa pahala oleh malaikat.
4. Setelah takbir keempat, beri salam ke kiri dan ke kanan.
