الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ | اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Introduction to Ihya Ulumuddin. Reflection #1 14/1

الْحَمْدُ اللَّهِ عَلَى نِعْمَةِ الإسلامِ وَالإِيْمَا وَكَفَى بِهَا نِعْمَةِ

Praise be to Allah for the bestowal of faith and Islam. Enough [for me] are they as a bestowal.

The 5 Pillars:

Shahadah. Salah. Zakat. Sawm. Hajj.

As Muslims, these are the five obligations that we are required to fulfill. But what if I were to mention that there is another obligation, often overlooked, and our beloved Prophet (s.a.w) has told us that it is an obligation for us to perform? What could that be?

That would be seeking knowledge.

This is evident in the hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), where he mentioned:

طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah

Alhamdulillah for His guidance as He guided my steps and weaved my path to attend such a class on Tuesday, where we began the journey of learning about Imam Ghazali's Ihya Ulumuddin (The Revival of the Religious Sciences) under Ustad Sameer. May Allah bless and elevate the status of the author Imam Ghazali and our teacher, Ustad Sameer, for teaching us.

(PS: Book Name: Ihya Ulumuddin: Book of Knowledge Volume 1)

About the Ihya Ulumuddin, we are studying one of the classical books that has been studied for decades and is considered one of the most impactful books in the Muslim world.

Ihya Ulumuddin spans 40 volumes, with the Book of Knowledge being the first volume. It begins with knowledge, emphasizing its significance in the revival of the Religious Sciences.

علم فوق العمل ( Ilm fawqa amal) - Knowledge above actions.

As we began with the first page of the introduction to the Ihya, we looked into how Imam Ghazali starts the introduction by seeking Allah's help to grant him resolve in completing the Ihya. From this, Ustad Sameer mentioned how we can learn about the etiquettes of making dua to Allah.

The Way of Making Dua:

1. Praising Allah

2. Sending Selawat upon our Habibullah ﷺ

3. Seeking Allah's help

4. Closing the dua with Selawat upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

علم فوق العمل

Next, as we traversed through the lines of the page, Imam Ghazali mentions his intentions in reviving and inculcating how one can purify and reform the heart. Ustad Sameer complemented this briefly by explaining the five stages of purifying the soul to attain the truth:

Tazkiyah al Nafs (discipline & subdue the ego)

2. Tafsiya al Qalb (clean & wash the heart)

3. Tajalli al Ruh (polish & glitter the soul)

4. Tamliyah al Nur (to be filled with divine light)

5. Tahliyah al Sirr (to be beautified by divine secrets)

Regarding Tazkiyah al Nafs, he emphasized the importance of the seeker of truth embarking on the journey of breaking his ego, shedding whatever truly does not reside in the heart.

As we strive to purify our souls, it is important to remember that, while we must exert effort in disciplining our souls, ultimate purification comes from Allah alone. The Prophet ﷺ has taught us a powerful dua to seek Allah’s help in this process:

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا Allahumma ati nafsi taqwaha, wa zakkiha Anta khairu man zakkaha, Anta waliyyuha wa maulaha. (O Allah! Grant me the sense of piety and purify my soul as You are the Best to purify it. You are its Guardian and its Protecting Friend.) (Source: Sahih Muslim, Book 17, Hadith 15)

Ustad Sameer also mentioned the importance of having a Murshid (spiritual guide) who would be present with the student throughout his life, training him and giving him tarbiyah as he journeys to break his ego.

As the seeker traverses this path to attain the truth, Ustad Sameer mentioned that it is important that he does not lose ʿadhima (عَظِيمَة) and Jazba (جَذْبَة). ʿAdhima represents the aspirations to achieve greatness in one’s relationship with Allah, and as for Jazba (جَذْبَة), it refers to one's Divine Attraction or Divine Love which overwhelms the nature of the self and effaces it. It is this Love that brings fana (فَنَاء), the annihilation of illusory selfhood.

However, these qualities must be complemented with himma (هِمَّة) (spiritual resolve), enabling the seeker to overcome worldly distractions and remain steadfast in striving for closeness to Allah.

As the seeker takes steps on the journey, it is important to also keep in mind that guidance is with Allah, so one’s supplication to keep him steadfast in the journey is essential. May Allah allow us to practice what we have learned and keep us steadfast in seeking Ilm.

علم فوق العمل

May Allah bless us with himma, jazba, and ʿadhima, and grant us the strength to overcome our lower selves.

We invite you to join us on this journey of exploring the Book of Knowledge every Tuesday at Masjid Abdul Gafoor, from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

ILMU SYARA' . USHUL (Pokok-pokok) ada 4 dimulai urutan teratas yaitu Kitabullah (AlQuran), Sunnah Rasul saw, ijma' umat, dan atsar sahabat. Ijma' dan atsae sahabat adalah pokok yang menunjukkan bahwa itu menunjuk atas sunnah. . FURU' (Cabang) yaitu sesuatu yang difahami dari pokok-pokok bukan dengan kepastian lafal-lafalnya tetapi dengan oengertian-pengertian yang diketahui oleh akal. Oleh sebab itu meluaslah pemahaman sehingga dari lafal-lafal itu difahami. Furu' terbagi menjadi dua, yaitu berkaitan dengan kemaslahatan-kemaslahatan dunia dan itu termuat dalam kitab-kitab FIQIH (dari semua madzab) dan yang bertanggung jawab adalah para fuqaha. Yang kedua berkaitan dengan kemaslahatan-kemaslahatan akhirat seperti mengenai keadaan hsti dan akhlak terpuji dan tercela, sesuatu yang diridhoi Allah SWT dan yang dibenci Nya, atau disebut ilmu yang memancar dati hati ke anggota-anggota tubuh dalam ibadah dan kebiasaan. . Selain itu ada dua ilmu lagi untuk menunjang ilmu syara' yaitu muqaddimat (pendahuluan) yang mempelajari mengenai tata bahasa karena untuk mempelajari kitabullah dan ilmu penyempurna yaitu mempelajari qiraat (bacaan) AlQuran, makhraj-makhrajnya, ma'na seperti tafsir, nasikh dan mansukh, 'am dan khash, nash dan zahir, dan cara menggunakan ilmu-ilmu tersebut satu sama lain, itulah yang disebut ushul fiqh, bagaimana aturan syariat dalam fiqih itu berasal dan bagaimana aturan itu dijelaskan. . #fiqihwanita #ihyaulumuddin #ihyaulumiddin #imamalghazali #fiqihmadzab #madzhabsyafii #madzhabhanbali #fiqih #ilmu #madzhabmaliki #ushulfiqih #madzhabhanafi #dalilnaqli #fardhukifayah #asalusulfiqih #elfikrkitabihyaulumuddin #elfikr #elfikrinstitute #alghazali #book #bukuislam #islamicbook #islam https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCvJJkl8-W/?utm_medium=tumblr

...، إذ يظن المغرور ب بنفسه أنه مشغول بفرض دينه وليس يدري أن الإشتغال بفرض الكفاية قبل الفراغ من فرض العين معصية.. (كتاب ذم الغرور، فى إحياء علوم الدين، للإمام محمد بن محمد الغزالي) artinya kurang lebih : ... orang yg tertipu (dunia) itu menyangka bahwa mereka sibuk dg kewajiban agamanya. mereka tidak mengetahui bahwa sibuk dg urusan fardlu kifayah sebelum selesainya dari fardlu 'ain itu merupakan KEMAKSIATAN.. #tashowwuf #tasawuf #tashawuf #alghazali #ihyaulumuddin #santri #ngaji #alasantri #negerisantri #santrionline #nu #nahdlatululama #nuonline_id #nuonline #qoutes #qotd #quotesoftheday

Kitab Ihya ulumuIhya Ulumuddin atau Al-Ihya merupakan kitab yang membahas tentang kaidah dan prinsip dalam menyucikan jiwa (Tazkiyatun Nafs) yang membahas perihal penyakit hati, pengobatannya, dan mendidik hati. Kitab ini merupakan karya yang paling terkenal dari Imam Al-Ghazali. Hanya saja kitab ini memiliki kritikan, yaitu meskipun Imam Ghazali merupakan seorang ulama namun dia bukanlah seorang yang pakar dalam bidang hadits, sehingga ikut tercantumlah hadits-hadits tidak ditemukan sanadnya, berderajat lemah maupun maudhu. Hal ini menyebabkan banyak ulama dan para ahli hadits yang kemudian berupaya meneliti, memilah dan menyusun ulang terhadap takhrij hadits yang termuat di dalam Ihya Ulumuddin. Di antaraulama ahli hadits yang menyusun ulang kitab hadits berdasarkan Ihya Ulumuddin ini adalah Imam Ibnul Jauzi dan Imam Ibnu Qudamah Al-Maqdisi yang menulis kitab Minhajul Qashidin dan ikhtisarnya . .

[mizanism]

Whoever determines the truth from people alone will remain lost in the plains of bewilderment. Rather, know the truth, and you will know its people.

Imam Ghazali

[mizanism]

Fight your soul with the four swords of self-discipline: eating little, sleeping briefly, speaking only when necessary, and tolerating all the wrongs done to you by people. For eating little slays desire, sleeping briefly purifies your aspirations, speaking little saves you from afflictions, and tolerating wrongs will bring you to the goal - for the hardest thing is for a man to be mild when snubbed and to tolerate wrongs which are done against him. And when the wish to indulge your desires and sin stirs in your soul, and the delight of superfluous discourse is aroused, you should draw the sword of eating little from the sheath of the midnight prayer and sleeping briefly, and strike them with the fists of obscurity and silence until they cease to oppress you and avenge themselves upon you, and you become safe from their vicissitudes to the end of your days

Yahya al-Razi in Imam Ghazali's Ihya book 22
