The introduction or propagation of Islam in India was through an invasion. The first Islamic attack in India was by Arabia. In the eighth century, Islam had spread to all Arab countries and Iran was the main center of Islam at this time. At this time, Islam was spreading from the entire Arab countries to Africa. Arabs invaded India to spread their religion, spread Islam, and conquered Sindh Pradesh. Information about the conquest of Sindh is found in the Persian text of Chanchanama.

Effects of Sindh Conquest :-

1). After conquering Sindh, the Arabs found their way into India.

2). With the arrival of Arabs in India, Islam started to be propagated.

3). With the advent of Islam, the word Hinduism and Hinduism were used for the first time.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، يَقُولُ كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلاَثُ سُنَنٍ، أَرَادَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَهَا فَتُعْتِقَهَا، فَقَالَ أَهْلُهَا، وَلَنَا الْوَلاَءُ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْ شِئْتِ شَرَطْتِيهِ لَهُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَأُعْتِقَتْ فَخُيِّرَتْ فِي أَنْ تَقِرَّ تَحْتَ زَوْجِهَا أَوْ تُفَارِقَهُ، وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمًا بَيْتَ عَائِشَةَ وَعَلَى النَّارِ بُرْمَةٌ تَفُورُ، فَدَعَا بِالْغَدَاءِ فَأُتِيَ بِخُبْزٍ وَأُدْمٍ مِنْ أُدْمِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَمْ أَرَ لَحْمًا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُول�� اللَّهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَحْمٌ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، فَأَهْدَتْهُ لَنَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ‏"‏ هُوَ صَدَقَةٌ عَلَيْهَا، وَهَدِيَّةٌ لَنَا ‏"‏‏.‏

The Life of The Prophet Muhammad(pbuh): The Assignment of the Duty of the Prophethood and First Muslims

Hazrat Abu Bakr is in the Rank of Muslims

Hazrat Abu Bakr had been one of our Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) closest friends for a very long time. They would get together and meet with one another in a very sincere fashion.

His most striking feature was that the ugly customs, bad manners, and lifestyle of the Age of Ignorance had not corrupted his disposition and that disbelief had not contaminated his mind, heart, and soul. He was a renowned merchant. The tribe’s leading figures always benefited from his ideas. He was the one who had solved the blood feuds of the Quraysh. Another one of his important characteristics was that he knew the ancestries, pedigrees, strengths, and flaws of the families of Quraysh very well.

Our Master (PBUH) had just begun to openly deliver his invitation. However, his cause had spread from ear to ear and it was heard by the leading figures of the Quraysh.

Hazrat Abu Bakr had just returned from his journey to Yemen. Abu Jahl, Ukba bin Abi Muayt, and some of the Quraysh’s leading figures went to his home to welcome him. Hazrat Abu Bakr asked, “What happened while I was away from Mecca? Is there any important news?”

They answered, “Oh Abu Bakr, there is a huge affair! Abu Talib’s orphan, Muhammad, has claimed to be a prophet. We deemed it suitable to wait until you returned from Yemen. Go to your friend and do whatever is necessary.”

Hazrat Abu Bakr immediately went to the home of the Master of the Universe (PBUH):  “Oh, Aba’l Qasim! Is it true that you claim to be a prophet, and that you have separated from the tribe, and have rejected and have reviled the religion of your forefathers?”

At first, our Holy Prophet (PBUH) smiled at the words of Abu Bakr, who he had been friends with since childhood. He said, “Oh Abu Bakr, I am Allah’s Messenger who has been sent to you and all humanity. I invite humanity to the one true God (Allah). You should testify as well.”

At one moment, lightning flashed in the realms of Abu Bakr’s mind and heart. He was hearing these words from the Muhammad the Trustworthy (PBUH), his friend whom he had known very well since childhood, the person whom he sincerely loved and respected, and the one from whose lips he never heard a word that contradicted truth. Without hesitating, he immediately embraced Islam and became a Muslim. 

Our Master (PBUH) considered Abu Bakr’s not showing any sign of hesitation in the face of this invitation as a huge virtue by saying:

“Everyone whom I invited to Islam, with the exception of Abu Bakr, paused, hesitated, or was astonished. However, when I explained Islam to him, he neither paused nor hesitated.” 

Our Holy Prophet (PBUH) was extremely happy that his esteemed friend had become a Muslim. In regards to this matter, our mother, Hazrat Aisha, related the following:

“No event has made our Holy Prophet (PBUH) happier than Hazrat Abu Bakr converting to Islam in the world.”

A dream that Hazrat Abu Bakr had seen beforehand at a much earlier point in time came true in the following way: In his dream, he saw that a moon had descended to Mecca. It then split into segments and spread to the homes in the city. Afterwards, he saw the reassembling of the pieces and the entering of the moon into its own home.

At that time, some scholars among the people of the book interpreted the dream. They said the awaited prophet would arise from Mecca very soon and that Abu Bakr would follow him and take his place among the fortunate. 

Hazrat Abu Bakr did not hesitate to openly disclose that he had become a Muslim.

His conversion to Islam caused a great echo among the Quraysh since he was an esteemed, reliable, sound individual who was always true to his word. His amiability and sweet nature had made him beloved to the tribe.

Hazrat Abu Bakr represented the first link on the chain of Muslim men that were free. Due to his conversion to Islam, this chain of faith slightly widened, the roads expanded further, and the fortunate that walked on the straightforward streets increased. Including Hazrat Bilal-Habashi, the following were the first representatives in the various classes to have become Muslims:

From the women, it was Hazrat Khadija,

From the children, it was Hazrat Ali,

From the free men, it was Hazrat Abu Bakr,

From the freed slaves it was Zayd bin Kharisa,

From the slaves it was Hazrat Bilal-Habashi (Radiyallahu Anhum).

Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:

`Aisha رضی اللہ عنہا said, "O my head!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If that (i.e., your death) should happen while I am still alive, I would ask Allah to forgive you and would invoke Allah for you." `Aisha رضی اللہ عنہا said, "O my life which is going to be lost! By Allah, I think that you wish for my death, and if that should happen then you would be busy enjoying the company of one of your wives in the last part of that day." The Prophet said, "But I should say, 'O my head!' I feel like calling Abu Bakr and his son and appoint (the former as my successors lest people should say something or wish for something. Allah will insist (on Abu Bakr becoming a Caliph) and the believers will prevent (anyone else from claiming the Caliphate)," or "..Allah will prevent (anyone else from claiming the Caliphate) and the believers will insist (on Abu Bakr becoming the Caliph).

Hadith (Sahih)

[taufiq-2022]

IMAM SYATIBI ( SANG PAKAR DAN IMAM ILMU QIRAAT )

Beliau bernama lengkap Abu al-Qasim bin Fiyyuroh  bin Kholaf ar-Ru’ayni asy-Syatibi . Mempunyai laqob Abu al-Qosim, Ad-Dhorir, atau yang biasa dikenal dengan sebutan Imam asy-Syatibi.

Imam Syatibi lahir di Andalus (Spanyol) pada tahun 538 H tepatnya di kota Xativa, maka dari itu Asy-Syatibi adalah penisbatan terhadap kota kelahirannya. Semenjak kecil Imam Syatibi telah kehilangan indra penghilatannya sehingga mendapat julukan Ad-Dharir (Buta) dan ada juga sebagian yang menyebutkan bahwa ia buta karena faktor usia di akhir-akhir masa tuanya,terlepas dari perdebatan itu menariknya kekurangan tersebut tidak mematahkan semangat sang imam dalam menuntut ilmu bahkan justru beliau sangat mendalami ilmu agama.

Imam Syatibi & Aktivitas Ke-Ilmuannya

Salah satu anugerah Allah Swt  yang diberikan kepada imam syatibi ialah kecerdasan dan kepintaran yang sangat luarbiasa hingga sang imam dengan cepat dalam memahami dan menghafal setiap ilmu yang ia pelajari. Sang Imam merupakan seorang pakar ilmu Al-Quran, Mufassir, Muhadist sekaligus pakar dalam bidang bahasa, sastra dan adab.

Perjalanan ilmiah pertamanya ia habiskan di kota kelahirannya yakni Kota Xativa dengan belajar al-Quran secara sempurna, ia mempertajam hafalannya kepada Abu Abdillah bin Muhammad bin Abu al-Ash al-Nafazi . Imam as-Syatibi merupakan sosok imam yang haus akan ilmu pengetahuan  sehingga ia tidak mencukupkan diri belajar di kota kelahirannya saja akan tetapi  pada tahun 572 H Sang Imam meninggalkan Andalus kemudian singgah di Mesir hingga menetap disana. Diceritakan ketika beliau menginjakkan kaki di Mesir kemudian pergi bertolak ke kota Alexandria dan bertemu dengan al-Haafidz As-Silafiy( seorang ulama ahli hadist ketika pada masanya dan ketika itu tidak ada seorangpun yang menandingi kecerdasannya ) lalu bergurulah sang imam kepada beliau di Madrasah As-Silafiy tersebut. Seiring berjalannya waktu beliaupun menuntaskan kematangannya dalam ilmu hadist dan akhirnya kepintaran sang imam mulai masyhur dikalangan para murid al-Hafidz as-Silafiy, Bahkan sang imam diberikan amanah untuk mengajar dan menggantikan gurunya dikala berhalangan.

Selepas menetap di Alexandria sang imam pergi ke Kairo, karena kemasyhurannya tak lama kemudian kedatangan sang imam pun diketahui oleh Qodi al-Fadhil Abdurrahim al-Bisani (Seorang pejabat mesir ketika itu )sehingga disambutlah sang imam dengan penuh kemuliaan serta diminta untuk mengajar di salah satu madrasah di kairo, kemudian iapun menerima permintaan tersebut.

Imam Syatibi adalah seorang guru yang tulus mengabdikan jiwa raganya untuk ilmu. Dengan ketulusan kecerdasan dan kepiawaian sang imam dalam mengajar dan berdakwah akhirnya mengantarkannya pada posisi yang sangat tinggi dan mendapat kehormatan dari berbagai kalangan masyarakat mesir ketika itu. Tidak berselang lama setelah diangkatnya asy-Syatibi menjadi guru besar, madrasah itu berkembang pesat dalam kajian keislaman khususnya bidang Ilmu Al-Quran dan Qiraat, sang imam sangat pandai dalam meracik dan berinovasu dalam pengembangan ilmu qiraat, hal ini bisa dibuktikan dengan banyaknya para penuntut ilmu dari berbagai penjuru dunia yang berdatangan untuk belajar kepadanya. Maka tak heran bila beliau menjadi salah satu imam pakar qiraat yang sangat terkenal dan menjadi rujukan bagi generasi setelahnya, Al-Hafidz Abu Syamah al-Maqdisi menyanjung lewat sebuah syair :

رأيت جماعة فضلاء فازوا # برؤية شيخ مصر الشاطبي

وكلهم يعظمه ويثني # كتعظيم الصحابة للنبيّ

Artinya:

Saya melihat banyak orang-orang mulia, mereka bahagia dapat berjumpa dengan seorang syaikh dari Mesir yakni asy-Syatibi,

Mereka semua memuliakan dan menyanjungnya, sebagaimana penyanjungan sahabat terhadap Nabi. (al Jazari, Ghayat al-Nihayat Fi Thabaqat al-Qurra 2/22)

Karamah asy-Syatibi

Imam asy-Syatibi merupakan sosok seorang alim yang mengamalkan ilmunya sekaligus kekasih Allah yang dianugerahi keutamaan dalam berbagai ilmu, zuhud terhadap dunia, taat dalam beribadah dan tidak sedikit ulama yang menyatakan bahwa dia adalah  wali Allah termasuk salah satunya adalah al-Jazari dan dalam teks-teks turats dapat dijumpai komentar ataupun pujian dari para ulama bahwa ia adalah wali Allah.

Salah satu tanda kewalian seorang asy-Syatibi adalah mukasyafah (melihat dengan jernih ) dengan sesuatu yang gaib dan terselubung. Dikisahkan sebagaimana biasanya  setelah sang imam menunaikan sholat subuh beliau duduk untuk memulai majelisnya dan para muridpun berlomba-lomba untuk datang lebih dahulu di majelis tersebut, karena sudah menjadi kebiasaan sang imam yakni mengapresiasi orang yang datang paling pertama dengan menyuruhnya menjadi pembaca dihari itu, namun suatu ketika sang imampun berkata “ Orang kedua yang datang maka dialah yang membaca !” sontak pernyataan ini membuat kaget para murid  karena untuk pertama kalinya pernyataan yang dilontarkan sang imam tidak seperti biasanya, si murid yang datang pertama ketika itu langsung kebingungan dan merenung kejadian apa yang menimpanya sehingga ia tidak menjadi si pembaca walaupun datang paling awal. Setelah merenung ternyata sang murid sadar bahwa pada malam harinya ia mengalami jinabat (hadast besar ), karena ingin setoran paling awal ia pun bergegas berangkat ke tempat pengajian dengan segera hingga lupa mandi besar, sontak saja dia langsung mundur untuk mandi besar di belakang masjid.

Setelah mandi besar , ia segera menuju tempat pengajian sebelum murid pertama selesai membaca atau setoran. Setelah selesai, maka imam asy-Syatibi berkata : siapa yang datang pertama hendaknya ia maju untuk setoran. (al-Awa’id al-Malmusah wa al-Fawaid al-mahsusah, hal 110)

Karya tulisan Imam Syatibi

Banyak sekali peninggalan imam syatibi dalam karya keilmuannya diantaranya:

Hirz al-Amaniy wa Wajh ath-tahaniy atau yang lebih popular dengan sebutan matan syatibiyah dan buku ini merupakan induknya bidang ilmu qiraat bahkan lazimnya tidak diperkenankan seseorang belajar ilmu qiraat kecuali telah mendalami dan menghafal qasidah ini. Kemudian Qasidah Ar-Raai’ah dan Qasidah Mutammimat Hirz Min Qiraat al-Kanz, semua ini adalah matan qasidah yang berkaitan dengan al-Quran dan Ilmu qiraat.

Selain kitab diatas , Imam asy-Syatibi juga merampungkan kitab-kitab yang lain diantaranya, Aqilatu Atrab al-Qashaid fi Asna al-Maqashid ( KItab dalam ilmu rasm qur’aniy ), Nadzimat al-Zuhr fi Adad al-Ayat (Kitab tentang jumlah ayat)

Semasa hidupnya sang imam tulus mengabdikan diri untuk al-Qur’an karena hampir seluruh siang dan malamnya beliau habiskan untuk berkhidmat kepada al-Qur’an khusunya dengan mengajar di madrasah fadiliyah.

Akhir hayat Imam asy-Syatibi

Imam asy-Syatbi r.a meninggal pada hari ahad setelah shalat ashar pada tahun 590 H pada usia yang masih muda 52 tahun . dan dikuburkan di pemakaman al-Fadhil Abdrurrahman al-Bisani, tepatnya dikaki gunung al-Muqottam Mesir.Hingga kini kuburanya ramai dikunjungi para peziarah.

Nafa’anallah Biuluumihi fiddarayni…Aamiin

History & Heritage

Threads of Time: Unraveling Pakistan’s Rich History and Heritage

Pakistan’s identity, though officially carved in 1947, is rooted in a cultural and historical lineage that stretches back thousands of years. The land that forms present-day Pakistan has been a cradle of civilizations, a crossroads of empires, and a repository of traditions that continue to shape its collective soul. From ancient cities buried in the sands of Sindh to Sufi melodies echoing through Punjab, Pakistan's heritage is both timeless and alive.

The Dawn of Civilization: Indus Valley

The story begins over 4,500 years ago with the Indus Valley Civilization—one of the world’s oldest urban cultures. Cities like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa were marvels of ancient urban planning. With grid-like city layouts, complex drainage systems, and standardized weights and measures, the civilization showed a high degree of social organization and technological advancement.

Artifacts, from beautifully carved seals to pottery and tools, reveal a society rich in art and trade. Unlike other ancient societies, the Indus Valley people appear to have lived relatively peacefully, without evidence of large-scale warfare or a ruling elite, making them unique among early civilizations.

Cultural Convergence: Invasions and Empires

After the decline of the Indus Valley, the region became a melting pot for various cultures and empires. The Aryans introduced the early Vedic culture, which laid the foundation for much of South Asia’s religious and philosophical thought.

Later came the Achaemenid Persians and Alexander the Great, who brought Hellenistic influence to the region. The city of Taxila, now in Punjab, emerged as a major hub of learning where Buddhist, Greek, and Hindu philosophies intermingled. The Gandhara civilization, with its iconic Greco-Buddhist art, stands as a symbol of cultural synthesis.

Over centuries, empires such as the Mauryas, Kushans, Guptas, and White Huns left their mark. Their legacies are seen in sculptures, coins, monasteries, and ancient roads still visible in parts of Pakistan today.

The Coming of Islam

Islam began shaping the cultural landscape in the 8th century with the arrival of Arab general Muhammad bin Qasim, who brought Islam to Sindh. Over time, the region became an integral part of various Islamic empires, including the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire.

The Mughals, in particular, contributed richly to the architectural and cultural heritage of PAKISTAN, and the Shalimar Gardens are living testaments to Mughal grandeur. Persian art and calligraphy, as well as music and poetry, flourished under their rule.

Islam in South Asia also saw the rise of Sufism, a mystical form of Islam that resonated deeply with local traditions. Sufi saints like Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, and Bulleh Shah became cultural icons, blending spiritual teachings with folk expression.

Colonial Rule and National Awakening

The British colonization of the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century brought sweeping changes—railroads, new administrative systems, and Western-style education. While this led to modernization in some areas, it also disrupted traditional ways of life and subordinated the region’s rich cultural identity.

However, the colonial period also sparked movements of resistance and self-discovery. Thinkers like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan advocated for modern Muslim education, while Allama Iqbal called for cultural and spiritual revival. These movements laid the groundwork for the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

The Partition of India, while granting independence, came at a devastating cost—millions displaced and hundreds of thousands killed. Yet, it also marked the beginning of a new chapter in reclaiming and reshaping a national identity.

Post-Independence Heritage Revival

Since independence, Pakistan has worked to preserve its ancient and recent past. Museums, archaeological departments, and cultural institutions have played a key role. The Lahore Museum, Taxila Museum, and Lok Virsa Museum in Islamabad house incredible collections that reflect Pakistan’s diverse heritage.

At the same time, there has been a growing awareness among Pakistanis to protect historical landmarks, many of which are threatened by urban expansion, neglect, or environmental decay. Projects like the Walled City of Lahore restoration show that when public and private sectors collaborate, heritage preservation becomes possible and sustainable.

Living Heritage: Languages, Art, and Tradition

Cultural heritage in Pakistan is not confined to stone structures and dusty manuscripts. It lives on in the languages, crafts, and customs passed down through generations. Over 70 languages are spoken across Pakistan—from Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto, and Balochi to lesser-known tongues like Burushaski and Wakhi.

Each region has its distinct music, dance, and craft traditions. The Ajrak of Sindh, Phulkari of Punjab, Kalash woodwork, and truck art are all expressions of local identity and creativity.

Music, too, remains a powerful thread that ties communities to their past. Whether it’s the hypnotic rhythm of the dhol, the soulful renditions of qawwals, or the evolving world of fusion music, Pakistan’s sonic heritage is dynamic and deeply rooted.

Modern Technology, New Possibilities

In recent years, technology has opened new doors for heritage preservation. Digital archives, 3D mapping of archaeological sites, and virtual museum tours are helping younger generations connect with the past in innovative ways.

Social media campaigns have also brought attention to endangered sites and traditions. Young content creators, researchers, and historians are using platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to share snippets of history, reviving forgotten narratives and promoting tourism.

Conclusion: Embracing the Many Layers

To understand Pakistan’s heritage is to understand the layers of human experience—peaceful settlements, cultural convergences, spiritual awakenings, and identity struggles. It’s a complex but beautiful mosaic, still being pieced together today.

As the country navigates modern challenges, holding on to its historical and cultural legacy becomes ever more important. For in knowing where we come from, we better understand where we’re going.

🍃🕊🍃 Shawal 10 - Start of Imam al-Mahdi (atfs) Ghaibat-e-Kubra

10th of Shawwal - Start of the Ghaibat-e-Kubra (greater occultation) of Imam-e-Zamana (as). According to other reports, the date was 4th or 9th of Shawwal 329 A.H.

🍃 Birth and Imamate: 🍃

The promised Mahdi, who is usually mentioned by his title of Imam-e-Asr (the Imam of the "Period") and Sahib az-Zaman (the Lord of the Time/Age), is the son of the eleventh Imam. His name is the same as that of the Holy Prophet (SAW). He was born in Samarrah on the 15th of Shabaan in 256 A.H./868 A.D. and until 260 A.H./872 A.D. when his father was martyred, lived under his father's care and guidance.

As soon as the 12th Imam was born he did sijda (prostration) and proclaimed the oneness of Allah and the Prophet hood of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hf)

He also recited the 5th aya of Suratul-Qasas "And We intend to bestow (Our) favours upon those who are weak in the land and make them the Imams (leaders) and make them the heirs". On his right hand was written the 82nd aya of Suratu Bani Israel "The truth has come and falsehood has vanished; Indeed falsehood (is a thing by nature) vanishing". The 11th Imam only told a handful of his most trusted believers of the birth of his son and to a few of his household slaves.

One of the women slaves called Naseema relates that when she went to see the baby Imam in his cradle she greeted him with salaam and was replied to. She then sneezed and the Imam said: "Yarhamukillah - it is a blessing from Allah and you have 3 days immunity from death".

The last Imam (a.s.) was hidden from public view and only a few of the elite among the Shiahs were able to meet him. After the martyrdom of his father he became Imam and by Divine Command went into occultation (ghaybat). Thereafter he appeared only to his deputies (naibeen) and even then only in exceptional circumstances.

🍃 Ghaibat (occultation) 🍃

of the last Imam (as): The Imam's ghaibat (occultation) was in two phase - Ghaibat-e-Sughra (minor occultation) was for about 69 years - 260 A.H. (872 A.D.) to 329 A.H. (939 A.D.) and the Ghaibat-e-Kubra (greater occultation) started in 329 A.H. (939 A.D.) and will continue until Allah (SWT) so wills.

🍃 Ghaibat - e - Sughra 🍃

(160 A.H. to 329 A.H.): During Ghaibut-us-Sughra, the Imam (as) appointed four deputies/representatives to represent him among the people. After the death of the fourth deputy, the Imam (as) went into Ghaibut-e-Kubra (major occultation). This was on the 10th Shawal 329 A.H.

🍃 The four representatives were: 🍃

1. Uthman bin Saeed (ar)

It is said that at the age of 11 years he was a servant in the house of the 9th Imam later to enjoy the confidence of Imam. He occupied the same position of trust with the 10th and 11th Imam who told their Shias that after him they would not see the 12th Imam and would have to obey Uthman. After the 11th Imam's martyrdom Uthman moved to Baghdad and disguised as a butter seller. He served the 12th Imam for 18 months and received a letter near his death from Imam (as) telling him to appoint his son Mohammed as the next representative.

2. Muhammad bin Uthman (ar)

He continued in his fathers footsteps also acting as a butter seller. As instructed by Imam he appointed Husayn bin Rawh as the next representative after his death in 305 A.H.

3. Husayn bin Rawh (ar)

His kuniyya was Abul Qasim. He managed to keep his activities a secret from the rulers whilst maintaining good relations with them. It is to him that we address the 'ariza' to be delivered to Imam. He served faithfully until he died in Sha'ban 326 a.h. revealing the appointment of Ali bin Muhammad Samry after him.

4. Ali bin Muhammad Samry (ar)

He served for only three years. A week before his death he received a letter from the Imam (as) telling him of his forthcoming death and that there would be no representative after him and that Imam (as) was now going into Ghaibat-e-Kubra (major occultation). Imam (as) would then appear when Allah (SWT) wills it. Ali bin Muhammad Samry (ar) died on 15th Shabaan 329 A.H.

🍃 Ghaibat - e - Kubra 🍃

(329 A.H. to present): Imam's ghaibat is described by the Aimma like that of Prophet Yusuf (as) who was amongst his brothers yet they did not recognise him.

Imam is known to meet a believer on 3 occasions:

1. At the time of trouble

2. He is present at every Hajj

3. He attends the funeral of every believer who has no religious obligations pending on him/her e.g. Khums.

During this time he continues to guide. Numerous letters have been received from him by (to quote a few) Ishaq bin Yaqub, Sheikh Mufeed... It is reported that Jaziratul Khadra (green islands or Bermuda Triangle) is a vast land in Imam's kingdom.

🍃 Responsibilities 🍃

During Ghaibat-e-Kubra:

1. Pray for the safety of Imam (as) at all time

2. Be in waiting for Imam (as) at all times

3. Give Sadaqa for Imam (as)

4. Pray for his re-appearance

5. Whenever faced with difficulty (whether small or big) ask for assistance from Imam (as)

6. Whenever his name is heard or recited, one should stand if possible, send Salams on him, and bow.

7. If possible perform Hajj/Umra for Imam (as). (Hajj-After own Wajibat)

🍃 Reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (as):

"The actual time of appearance is only known by Allah".

However our Aimma have given various indications.

- It will be the day of Friday.

- It will be the 10th of Muharram.

- The century will be an odd number.

- There will be both a solar and lunar eclipse in the month of Ramadhan but contrary to all norms and calculations.

- A voice will be heard announcing the appearance of Imam, which will be heard by all in their own language.

- Imam Ali (as) related to Sa'sa bin Sawhaan: The 12th Imam will appear when: There will be a loud noise from the sky with which the eardrums will pierce.

- Nasibayn (Iraq) will burn on all four sides.

- Basra will be abandoned.

- Turkey will be ruled by Usmanis.

- People will usurp that which they are trusted with.

- People will 'kill' Salaa. (It will not be abandoned but its essence destroyed).

- People will carry music in their pockets.

- The 5th, 6th and 7th Imams have said:

"A great man from the people of Qum will rise up and take a stand. He will invite people will invite people towards the truth. Brave people like strong mountains, not fearing fighting and having trust in Allah will come to his help.......... Finally the enemy of Islam will withdraw.............. The rule of Islamic Law will be established by the people themselves".

"Kufa will become barren of Islamic knowledge........... whilst Qum will become the centre of Islamic Fiqh............ so much so that it will spread throughout the world that not a single person will remain ignorant of the message of Islam".

"These people will be the vicegerents of the 12th Imam. Their rule will continue and link with the appearance of the 12th Imam. They will not entrust the rule established by them to any but Imam on his reappearance".

- Imam Ali (as) took Kumayl bin Ziyad to the outskirts of Kufa and showed him where he was to be buried. He then told him that all round his grave there would be tall buildings carrying the sign of Shaitan on them. The sign would be called Antennae.

- Sufyani will appear

- Imam will appear in Makka and his 'zahoor' will be in two stages (similar to Prophet hood of the Prophet).

* 1st Stage

This will be in secret and not announced to all (only to close followers).

* 2nd Stage

Open announcement on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura).

- In the Zil-Hajjah of the preceding to Imam's appearance on Ashura, 40 momineen who will be Imam's closest companions will realise the nearness of 'zahoor' and go for Hajj. They will not return home and on the 15th of Zil-Hijjah they will go to the Ka'ba and cry a lot.

- One of them will be called by Imam (as), introduced and told to be the representative of the 40. They will all meet Imam (as) between the 16th and 22nd of Zil-Hijjah. Imam will tell them that one of them will have to announce the arrival of Imam (as) at the door of the Ka'ba but whosoever would do this would be killed immediately.

- On the 25th Zil-Hijjah the announcement will be made and the announcer killed (This is the blood of Nafse Zakiyya - pure soul, those whose blood will touch the Ka'ba and who is mentioned in numerous prophecies). His blood will be avenged 2 weeks later when Imam (as) will appear himself at the Ka'ba.

🍃🕊🍃 Shawal 10 - Start of Imam al-Mahdi (atfs) Ghaibat-e-Kubra

10th of Shawwal - Start of the Ghaibat-e-Kubra (greater occultation) of Imam-e-Zamana (as). According to other reports, the date was 4th or 9th of Shawwal 329 A.H.

🍃 Birth and Imamate: 🍃

The promised Mahdi, who is usually mentioned by his title of Imam-e-Asr (the Imam of the "Period") and Sahib az-Zaman (the Lord of the Time/Age), is the son of the eleventh Imam. His name is the same as that of the Holy Prophet (SAW). He was born in Samarrah on the 15th of Shabaan in 256 A.H./868 A.D. and until 260 A.H./872 A.D. when his father was martyred, lived under his father's care and guidance.

As soon as the 12th Imam was born he did sijda (prostration) and proclaimed the oneness of Allah and the Prophet hood of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hf)

He also recited the 5th aya of Suratul-Qasas "And We intend to bestow (Our) favours upon those who are weak in the land and make them the Imams (leaders) and make them the heirs". On his right hand was written the 82nd aya of Suratu Bani Israel "The truth has come and falsehood has vanished; Indeed falsehood (is a thing by nature) vanishing". The 11th Imam only told a handful of his most trusted believers of the birth of his son and to a few of his household slaves.

One of the women slaves called Naseema relates that when she went to see the baby Imam in his cradle she greeted him with salaam and was replied to. She then sneezed and the Imam said: "Yarhamukillah - it is a blessing from Allah and you have 3 days immunity from death".

The last Imam (a.s.) was hidden from public view and only a few of the elite among the Shiahs were able to meet him. After the martyrdom of his father he became Imam and by Divine Command went into occultation (ghaybat). Thereafter he appeared only to his deputies (naibeen) and even then only in exceptional circumstances.

🍃 Ghaibat (occultation) 🍃

of the last Imam (as): The Imam's ghaibat (occultation) was in two phase - Ghaibat-e-Sughra (minor occultation) was for about 69 years - 260 A.H. (872 A.D.) to 329 A.H. (939 A.D.) and the Ghaibat-e-Kubra (greater occultation) started in 329 A.H. (939 A.D.) and will continue until Allah (SWT) so wills.

🍃 Ghaibat - e - Sughra 🍃

(160 A.H. to 329 A.H.): During Ghaibut-us-Sughra, the Imam (as) appointed four deputies/representatives to represent him among the people. After the death of the fourth deputy, the Imam (as) went into Ghaibut-e-Kubra (major occultation). This was on the 10th Shawal 329 A.H.

🍃 The four representatives were: 🍃

1. Uthman bin Saeed (ar)

It is said that at the age of 11 years he was a servant in the house of the 9th Imam later to enjoy the confidence of Imam. He occupied the same position of trust with the 10th and 11th Imam who told their Shias that after him they would not see the 12th Imam and would have to obey Uthman. After the 11th Imam's martyrdom Uthman moved to Baghdad and disguised as a butter seller. He served the 12th Imam for 18 months and received a letter near his death from Imam (as) telling him to appoint his son Mohammed as the next representative.

2. Muhammad bin Uthman (ar)

He continued in his fathers footsteps also acting as a butter seller. As instructed by Imam he appointed Husayn bin Rawh as the next representative after his death in 305 A.H.

3. Husayn bin Rawh (ar)

His kuniyya was Abul Qasim. He managed to keep his activities a secret from the rulers whilst maintaining good relations with them. It is to him that we address the 'ariza' to be delivered to Imam. He served faithfully until he died in Sha'ban 326 a.h. revealing the appointment of Ali bin Muhammad Samry after him.

4. Ali bin Muhammad Samry (ar)

He served for only three years. A week before his death he received a letter from the Imam (as) telling him of his forthcoming death and that there would be no representative after him and that Imam (as) was now going into Ghaibat-e-Kubra (major occultation). Imam (as) would then appear when Allah (SWT) wills it. Ali bin Muhammad Samry (ar) died on 15th Shabaan 329 A.H.

🍃 Ghaibat - e - Kubra 🍃

(329 A.H. to present): Imam's ghaibat is described by the Aimma like that of Prophet Yusuf (as) who was amongst his brothers yet they did not recognise him.

Imam is known to meet a believer on 3 occasions:

1. At the time of trouble

2. He is present at every Hajj

3. He attends the funeral of every believer who has no religious obligations pending on him/her e.g. Khums.

During this time he continues to guide. Numerous letters have been received from him by (to quote a few) Ishaq bin Yaqub, Sheikh Mufeed... It is reported that Jaziratul Khadra (green islands or Bermuda Triangle) is a vast land in Imam's kingdom.

🍃 Responsibilities 🍃

During Ghaibat-e-Kubra:

1. Pray for the safety of Imam (as) at all time

2. Be in waiting for Imam (as) at all times

3. Give Sadaqa for Imam (as)

4. Pray for his re-appearance

5. Whenever faced with difficulty (whether small or big) ask for assistance from Imam (as)

6. Whenever his name is heard or recited, one should stand if possible, send Salams on him, and bow.

7. If possible perform Hajj/Umra for Imam (as). (Hajj-After own Wajibat)

🍃 Reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (as):

"The actual time of appearance is only known by Allah".

However our Aimma have given various indications.

- It will be the day of Friday.

- It will be the 10th of Muharram.

- The century will be an odd number.

- There will be both a solar and lunar eclipse in the month of Ramadhan but contrary to all norms and calculations.

- A voice will be heard announcing the appearance of Imam, which will be heard by all in their own language.

- Imam Ali (as) related to Sa'sa bin Sawhaan: The 12th Imam will appear when: There will be a loud noise from the sky with which the eardrums will pierce.

- Nasibayn (Iraq) will burn on all four sides.

- Basra will be abandoned.

- Turkey will be ruled by Usmanis.

- People will usurp that which they are trusted with.

- People will 'kill' Salaa. (It will not be abandoned but its essence destroyed).

- People will carry music in their pockets.

- The 5th, 6th and 7th Imams have said:

"A great man from the people of Qum will rise up and take a stand. He will invite people will invite people towards the truth. Brave people like strong mountains, not fearing fighting and having trust in Allah will come to his help.......... Finally the enemy of Islam will withdraw.............. The rule of Islamic Law will be established by the people themselves".

"Kufa will become barren of Islamic knowledge........... whilst Qum will become the centre of Islamic Fiqh............ so much so that it will spread throughout the world that not a single person will remain ignorant of the message of Islam".

"These people will be the vicegerents of the 12th Imam. Their rule will continue and link with the appearance of the 12th Imam. They will not entrust the rule established by them to any but Imam on his reappearance".

- Imam Ali (as) took Kumayl bin Ziyad to the outskirts of Kufa and showed him where he was to be buried. He then told him that all round his grave there would be tall buildings carrying the sign of Shaitan on them. The sign would be called Antennae.

- Sufyani will appear

- Imam will appear in Makka and his 'zahoor' will be in two stages (similar to Prophet hood of the Prophet).

* 1st Stage

This will be in secret and not announced to all (only to close followers).

* 2nd Stage

Open announcement on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura).

- In the Zil-Hajjah of the preceding to Imam's appearance on Ashura, 40 momineen who will be Imam's closest companions will realise the nearness of 'zahoor' and go for Hajj. They will not return home and on the 15th of Zil-Hijjah they will go to the Ka'ba and cry a lot.

- One of them will be called by Imam (as), introduced and told to be the representative of the 40. They will all meet Imam (as) between the 16th and 22nd of Zil-Hijjah. Imam will tell them that one of them will have to announce the arrival of Imam (as) at the door of the Ka'ba but whosoever would do this would be killed immediately.

- On the 25th Zil-Hijjah the announcement will be made and the announcer killed (This is the blood of Nafse Zakiyya - pure soul, those whose blood will touch the Ka'ba and who is mentioned in numerous prophecies). His blood will be avenged 2 weeks later when Imam (as) will appear himself at the Ka'ba.

- Those who answer the first call will be 313 in number.

- Imam's army will consist of 10.000 momineen.

- Imam will establish his government in Kufa and his treasury in Masjidus Sahla.

THE BENEFITS AND VIRTUES OF RECITING OR LISTENING TO  SURAH AL-MUDDATHTHIR, 74

Sūrah al-Muddaththir (Arabic: سورة المدّثّر) is the seventy forth Surah of the Qur'an. It is a Makki surah of the Holy Qur'an which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) at the beginning of his Bi'that. The word, "Muddaththir", means wrapped up in clothes, and it refers to the Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam).

 

74. Al-Muddaththir

74.1 Narrated Yahya bin Abi Kathir (رضي الله عنه)

I asked Aba Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman about the first Sura revealed of the Qur’an. He replied “O you, wrapped-up (i.e. Al Muddaththir).” I said, “They say it was, ‘Read, in the Name of your Lord Who created,’ (i.e. Surat Al-`Alaq (the Clot).” On that, Abu Salama said, “I asked Jabir bin `Abdullah about that, saying the same as you have said, whereupon he said, ‘I will not tell you except what Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) had told us.

to wrap me up and pour cold water on me. So, they wrapped me up and poured cold water on me.” Then,

Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, “I was in seclusion in the cave of Hiram’, and after I completed the limited period of my seclusion. I came down (from the cave) and heard a voice calling me. I looked to my right, but saw nothing. Then I looked up and saw something. So, I went to Khadija (the Prophet’s wife) and told her

﴾ يا أيها المدثر ﴿

O you, (Muhammad) wrapped up!

﴾ قم فأنذر ﴿

Arise and warn

﴾ وربك فكبر ﴿

And your Lord glorify (74:1-3)

(Surat Al Muddaththir) was revealed.”

Sahih al-Bukhari Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 444

74.2 Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه)

While Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was talking about the period of pause in revelation. he said in his narration. “Once while I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw to my surprise, the same Angel as had visited me in the cave of Hira.’ He was sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, Wrap me! Wrap me!” So, they covered him and then Allah revealed:

﴾ يا أيها المدثر ﴿

O you, wrapped up!

﴾ قم فأنذر ﴿

Arise and warn

﴾ وربك فكبر ﴿

And your Lord magnify

﴾ وثيابك فطهر ﴿

And your garments purify

﴾ والرجز فاهجر ﴿

And desert the idols (74:1-5)

Abu Salama said, “Rijz are the idols which the people of the pre-Islamic period used to worship.” After this the revelation started coming frequently and regularly.

Sahih al-Bukhari Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 478

74.3 Mufti Shafi Usmani related about

 ﴾ وثيابك فطهر ﴿

And your clothing purify (74:4)

That the Holy Qur’an Says:

﴾ إن الله يحب التوابين ويحب المتطهرين ﴿

Surely Allah loves those who are most repenting, and loves those who keep themselves pure (2:222)

And according to a hadith narrative ‘Cleanliness is half the faith’.

(Ma’ariful Qur’an)

74.4 Anas bin Malik (رضي الله عنه) narrated that

The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said regarding this Ayah:

﴾ هو أهل التقوى وأهل المغفرة ﴿

He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness (74:56)

That Allah (عز وجل) said: “I am the worthiest to have Taqwa of, so whoever has Taqwa of Me, not having any god besides Me, then I am most worthy that I forgive him.”

Jami` at-Tirmidhi Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3328

74.5 Ibn Kathir related about

﴾ وما يعلم جنود ربك إلا هو ﴿

And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him (74:31)

That it has been confirmed in the Hadith concerning Al-Isra’ that is reported in the Two Sahihs and other collections, that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليهوآله وسلم) said in describing the Frequented House (Al-Bayt Al-Ma`mur), which is in the seventh heaven, “Seventy thousand angels enter into it every day and they do not return to it as it is all that is due upon them (one visit in their lifetime).”

74.6 Al-Wahidi recorded

(Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely…) [74:11-24]. Abu’l-Qasim al-Hudhami informed us> Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Nu‘aym Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al-Saghani> Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al-Dabari> ‘Abd al-Razzaq> Ma‘mar> Ayyub al-Sikhtiyyani> ‘Ikrimah> Ibn ‘Abbas who related that al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah went to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, who read the Qur’an to him and it seemed as if his heart softened to it.

Abu Jahl heard of this. He went to him and said: “O uncle, your clan want to collect money to give it to you, for you went to Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآلهوسلم) exposing yourself to his message”. He said: “The Quraysh know well that I am among its wealthiest”. Abu Jahl said: “Then say something about him which will let your people know that you condemn and dislike him”. He said: “But what shall I say? By Allah, there is not a man among you who is more knowledgeable about poetry and its composition than me.

By Allah, what he says does not resemble any poetry. By Allah, the speech which he utters is sweet and graceful, fruitful at the top, copious at the bottom; it has the upper hand and nothing has the upper hand over it. But let me think about what I shall say about it. Then he said [as reported by the Qur’an] (This is naught else than magic from of old) [74:24], which he simply learnt from others”.

Allah, exalted is He, then revealed (Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely…), and the other verses which follows it. Mujahid said: “Al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah was in the habit of visiting the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, and Abu Bakr so much so that the Quraysh thought he was going to embrace Islam. Abu Jahl then said to him: ‘

The Quraysh claim that you visit Muhammad and Ibn Abi Quhafah to share food with them’. 

Al-Walid said to the Quraysh: ‘You are people of noble lineages and sound minds, but you claim that Muhammad is mad. Have you ever seen him seized by a bout of madness?’ They said: ‘No!’ He said: ‘And you claim that he is a soothsayer; have you ever seen him soothsaying?

’ They said: ‘No!’ He said: ‘You claim that he is a poet; have you ever heard him utter poetry?’ They said: ‘No!’ He said: ‘You claim that he is a liar; have you ever caught him lying?’ They said: ‘No!’

The Quraysh said to al-Walid: ‘What is he, then?’ He thought for a while, looked and frowned and then said: ‘He is nothing but a sorcerer’, hence Allah’s saying (For lo! he did consider; then he planned…) [74:12] up to His saying (This is naught else than magic from of old)”.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah al-Maryam Ayah 59-60

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

19:59 Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have lost the Salah and have followed lusts. So they will meet Ghaiy.

19:60 Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught.

They were succeeded by Wicked People and Good People Allah says:

Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have lost the Salah and have followed lusts. So they will meet Ghaiy. After Allah mentioned the party of blessed ones -- the Prophets and those who followed them by maintaining the limits set by Allah and His commandments, fulfilling what Allah ordered and avoiding His prohibitions -- then He mentions, (there has succeeded them a posterity). This means later generations.

Losing their prayers is when they do not consider the prayers obligatory. Therefore they lose,

because the prayer is the pillar and foundation of the religion. It is the best of the servants' deeds. Thus, these people will occupy themselves with worldly desires and delights, and they will be pleased with the life of this world. They will be tranquil and at ease in the worldly appetites. Therefore, these people will meet with Ghaiy, which means loss on the Day of Resurrection. Al-Awza`i reported from Musa bin Sulayman, who reported from Al-Qasim bin Mukhaymirah that he said concerning Allah's statement. Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have lost the Salah), "This means that they will not keep up with the proper times of the prayer, because if it meant complete abandonment of the prayer, this would be disbelief.'' It is also reported that it was said to Ibn Mas`ud, "Allah often mentions the prayer in the Qur'an. 

He says, Those who neglect their Salah. (107:5)

Those who remain constant in their Salah. (70:23)

Then, Ibn Mas`ud said, "This means at its designated times.” The people said, "We thought that this wasreferring to the abandonment of the prayer.” He replied, "That would be disbelief.'' Masruq said, "No one who guards the five daily prayers will be written among the heedless. In their neglect is destruction. Their neglect is delaying them past their fixed times.” Al-Awza`i reported from Ibrahim bin Zayd that Umar bin Abdul-`Aziz recited the Ayah,

Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have lost the Salah and have followed lusts. So they will meet Ghayy.Then, he said, "Their loss was not their abandonment of the prayers, but it was by not offering them during their proper and prescribed times.” 

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn Abbas that he said, "This m eans loss.” 

Qatadah said, "This means evil.” 

Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Shu`bah and Muhammad bin Ishaq all reported from Abu Ishaq As-Sabi`i, who reported from Abu Ubaydah, who reported from Abdullah bin Mas`ud that he said, (So they will meet Ghayy), "This is a valley in the Hellfire which is very deep and its food is filthy.”

Al-A`mash reported from Ziyad, who reported from Abu Iyad, who commented Allah's  statement, (So they will meet Ghayy), He said, "This is a valley in Hell made of puss and blood.''

Except those who repent and believe and work righteousness. This means, "Except those who recant from giving up the prayers and following the desires, for verily, Allah will accept their repentance, give them a good end and make them of those who inherit the Garden of Delight (Paradise).” Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught. This is because repentance wipes away that which was before it. 

In another Hadith, the Prophet said, The one who repents from sin is like he who has no sin.

Because of this, those who repent will not lose anything from the (good) deeds that they did.

They will not be held accountable for what they did before their repentance, thus causing a decrease in their reward for deeds that they do after their repentance. That is because whatever they did before repenting is lost, forgotten and not taken to account. This is an honor from the Most Generous and a kindness from the Most Gentle. This is an exception that is made for these people, similar to Allah's statement in Surah Al-Furqan. And those who invoke not any other god along with Allah, nor kill such person as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause...) until Allah's statement, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (25:68-70)

Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ ذَكَرَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ أَهِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا امْرَأَةً مِنْ غَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ، تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ‏.‏

Recap: Sehari di Kediaman Rasulullah ﷺ - Part 4/4

Ditulis oleh Abdul Malik bin Muhammad al-Qasim, diterjemahkan oleh Abu Ihsan, dan dimuraja'ah oleh Tim Darul Haq, Jakarta

بِسْم�� اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Membela Kehormatan Orang Lain

Majelis yang paling utama adalah majelis dzikir dan ilmu.

Dalam pembicaraan, Rasulullah ﷺ selalu mengoreksi orang yang keliru, keluruskan kesalahan orang yang jahil, dan tidak ada dalam majelis beliau kecuali kebaikan-kebaikan. => bukti kesucian majelis dan ketulusan hati beliau.

Beliau selalu menyimak dengan baik dan mendengarkan fengan seksama orang yang berbicara padanya. Tapi beliau tidak mau mendengarkan ghibah (gunjingan), tidak rela mendengarkan namimah (hasutan), dan buhtan (tuduhan palsu dan ucapan bohong). Beliau selalu membela kehormatan orang lain.

Dosa-dosa yang paling besar: Mempersekutukan Allah, mendurhakai kedua orang tua, dan persaksian palsu.

Bagi orang yang membela perkataan saudaranya dari perkataan ghibah => terbebas dari api neraka.

Dzikir

Beliau selalu menghubungkan hatinya dengan Allah Ta'ala. Beliau senantiasa melalui waktunya dengan dzikrullah, tahmid, syukur, istighfar, dan taubat. Padahal dosa-dosa beliau yang lalu maupun yang akan datang telah diampuni.

Nikmat => bersyukur dengan mensyukuri karunia Allah dan memuji keagunganNya. Mengenal kebesaran Allah => memujiNya, memohon kepadaNya, dan kembali menuju ampunanNya. Mengetahui waktu itu berharga => mengisi sebaik-baiknya, dengan ketaatan dan ibadah.

Berdzikir sepanjang waktu, beristighfar dan bertaubat kepada Allah lebih dari 70x dalam sehari, ...

Tetangga

Tetangga memiliki kedudukan yang agung.

Beliau ﷺ mewasiatkan Abu Dzar untuk memperbanyak kuah saat memasak dan membaginya pada para tetangga.

Tidak masuk surga orang yang tetangganya tidak merasa aman dari kejahatannya.

Persahabatan yang Tulus

Saat disampaikan sesuatu yang kurang berkenan dari seseorang, beliau ﷺ tidak berkata "Apa mau si fulan berkata demikian!" Namun "Apa mau mereka berkata demikian!"

Beliau ﷺ jarang menegur sesuatu yang dibencinya pada seseorang di hadapannya langsung.

Orang yang diharamkan dari api neraka atau api neraka diharamkan atasnya => setiap orang yang ramah, lemah lembut, dan murah hati.

Menunaikan Hak

Hak Allah Ta'ala, hak keluarga, hak pribadi, hak orang lain.

Rasulullah ﷺ berpuasa dan berbuka, shalat malam dan juga tidur, menikahi wanita.

keberanian dan ketabahan

Keberanian dalam membela agama dan menegakkan kalimatullah.

Gigih dalam berdakwah seorang diri menghadapi kaum kafir Quraisy, tidak mengeluh, tetapi bersandar dan bertawakkal kepada Allah Ta'ala dan tetap melanjutkan dakwahnya.

Pemberanu dan teguh pendirian, disaat yang kain bercerai-cerai.

Di sebelah utara rumah beliau ﷺ Gunung Uhud, lokasi perang yang membuat wajah beliau terluka, beberapa gigi patah, dan kepala terkoyak lebar.

Dalam perang, saat kedua kubu sudah slaing bertemu dan peperangan semakin sengit, semua berlindung di belakang Rasulullah ﷺ. Kesabaran beliah dalam berjuang menyebarkan dakwah patut diteladani.

Pernah Rasulullah ﷺ dan Bilal tidak mendapati makanan yang layak selama 30 hari kecuali sedikit makanan yang bisa ditutupi ketiak Bilal.

Meski harta rampasan perang itu banyak, Rasulullah ﷺ tidak mewariskan dinar, dirham, hewan ternak, tetapi ilmu. Itulah warisan nubuwwah, barangsiapa yang ingin mengambilnya, maka silakan maju untuk mengambilnya dan selamat berbahagia menerima warisan yang agung itu.

Do'a-Do'a

[my-islam-reminder]

Narrated Qasim bin Muhammad:

Three traditions have been established because of Barira رضی اللہ عنہا : `Aisha رضی اللہ عنہا intended to buy her and set her free, but Barira's masters said, "Her wala' will be for us." `Aisha رضی اللہ عنہا mentioned that to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who said, "You could accept their condition if you wished, for the wala is for the one who manumits the slave." Barira رضی اللہ عنہا was manumitted, then she was given the choice either to stay with her husband or leave him; One day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered `Aisha's house while there was a cooking pot of food boiling on the fire. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for lunch, and he was presented with bread and some extra food from the home-made Udm (e.g. soup). He asked, "Don't I see meat (being cooked)?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! But it is the meat that has been given to Barira رضی اللہ عنہا in charity and she has given it to us as a present." He said, "For Barira رضی اللہ عنہا it is alms, but for us it is a present."
