The 12 Emirates of Islam.

The world is in too much distress, especially in areas the Prophet said were necessary to the onset of the Masjid. I have tasked the Ijtihas to send for the Emirates in order to create an economic union that would permit free trade and security around the Haram designated by Muhammad the Prophet.

They are designated according to the Numbers as #2256, In Bahu, "The Rods, the Boy Names of the Saints."

The Sheikh says these names will fill in the void of emptiness left behind by the division of Jerusalem after the civil war in Israel and the separation of Jews from Arabs and Arabs the rest.

In the Name of Allah the Magnificent:

The First Emirate is Anda, "the Adam of Friendship."

From 29: 63:

And if you ask them who sends down rain from the sky, giving life to the earth after its death, they will surely say, “Allah!” Say, “Praise be to Allah!” In fact, most of them do not understand...who provides sustenance in the first place and in the second place.

The Second Emirate is Eajala, "the Wheel."

"Haste is undesirable".

خُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ (Man is made of haste. - 21:37). عَجَل ('ajal) means haste or hurry. The word is used in situations when one desires things to happen before their time, and this trait is bad by its very nature. In another place also the word is used to denote human weakness. For instance وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ عَجُولًا i.e. Man is prone to haste - 17:11, meaning that he is very impatient. When Sayyidna Musa (علیہ السلام) went to the mount Tur in a hurry leaving his people behind, he was censured by Allah Ta` ala.

Prophets (علیہم السلام) and the devout people who try to excel each other in the performance of righteous deeds have been commended and their zeal to do good deeds does not constitute haste and hurry because they do not try to do these deeds before their time. In fact they do the deeds on time, but try to excel each other in quantity and quality.

The Third Emirate is Haddad, "The Blacksmith of Hearts."

"‎‎‎Haddad sums up the Muslim views on The Study Qur'an, with apt examples of its improprieties with noted attention on its appeals."

The Fourth Emirate is Yathar, "The smallest part is also the biggest part."

"Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah , of all things, Knowing."

Every human has to be treated as if they one of our own men.

The Fifth Emirate is Akther, "the fragrant majority."

= Persons who do not deny or shun the practices and prohibitions named by Allah in the Quran. They are instances or events that corroborate the authority of the verses to properly govern mankind, a "summary of the account."

The Sixth Emirate is Han, "Valiant, Gracious."

A masculine name that means "gracious," "gracious gift," or "grace". It's a strong biblical name that comes from a chief member of the tribe of Benjamin.

The Seventh Emirate is Almuthairi, "to rain with generous gifts."

"To be a vessel of self-preparedness, to go to the fullest extent."

Surah Yunus 24- In this verse, the Quran compares the life of this world to rain that falls from the sky and produces plants that people and animals eat. The verse goes on to say that just when the earth looks its best and people think they have control over it, God's command comes and the earth is cut down as if it had never flourished.

Surah Al-Hadid 20- In this verse, the Quran compares the worldly life to rain that causes plants to grow, but then the plants dry up and wither away. The verse goes on to say that in the Hereafter, people will face either severe punishment or forgiveness and pleasure from Allah.

Surah An-Nahl 65- In this verse, the Quran says that Allah sends down rain from the sky, which gives life to the earth after it has died.

Surah An-Nur 43- In this verse, the Quran describes how Allah gently drives the clouds, joins them together, and piles them up into masses, which then produce raindrops. The verse also describes how Allah sends down hail from the sky, which he pours on whoever he wills and averts from whoever he wills.

Surah Ash-Shuraa 28- In this verse, the Quran says that Allah sends down rain after people have given up hope, spreading out his mercy.

The Eighth Emirate is Safha, "The Page", "Boy Servant of Integrity."

Safha is mentioned as one of two mountains between which all Sheikhs travel to find their way to the Qibla.

Al-Safa is referred to in verse (2:158) of chapter (2) sūrat l-baqarah (The Cow): Sahih International: Indeed, as-safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them.

The Ninth Emirate is Tabeia, "The Printer." Tibia are legs, or the practices described by the Prophet, AKA the Haram the Domain of the Sacred.

Normally legs are twisted together. One leg is the sin, the other is the affliction:

And the leg is wound about the leg,

And agony is heaped on agony;

And one leg will be joined with another:

And affliction is combined with affliction;

"Some commentators have taken the word saq (leg, shank) in its literal meaning, thereby implying that at death one lean leg will join the other lean leg; some others have taken it metaphorically in the sense of difficulty, vehemence and hardship so as to mean: At that time one affliction will be joined with another affliction, one of being separated from the world and all its enjoyments, and the other of being seized and taken to the Hereafter as a culprit, and this will be experienced by every disbeliever, hypocrite and sinner."

In this case, however, we want to reverse the example and state that the Emirate does not have the right to cross the legs:

"And the right of your legs is that you walk not with them toward that which is unlawful for you. And you should not direct them in the way that will lead the person they carry to being debased. Your legs will carry you in the direction of the religion and they will help you go ahead. And there is no power but in God."

All the Emirates point to the unity between Jerusalem, Palestine and Damascus to recreate the concept of the Haram, which was printed thus :

"The most holy spot [al-quds] on earth is Syria; the most holy spot in Syria is Palestine; the most holy spot in Palestine is Jerusalem [Bayt al-maqdis]; the most holy spot in Jerusalem is the Mountain; the most holy spot in Jerusalem is the place of worship [al-masjid], and the most holy spot in the place of worship is the Dome."

— Thawr ibn Yazid, c. 770[27][28][29]

The Tenth Emirate is Basma, "the Fingerprint."

=Surah 75, "When the sun and the moon are brought together."

= When the verses of the Quran merge with the Self to create a new conscious being. We have spoken about this.

The Eleventh Emirate is Niyya, "the intention."

"In Islam, niyyah is the reason and intent behind an action, and it's considered very important. For a good deed to be accepted by Allah, the niyyah must be pure and free from impure intentions. The Prophet Muhammad said, “Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended”.

The Final Emirate is Warid, "the Gallant Stranger Who Came to Supply His Power to the Rest of Us."

"In Sufism, "warid" refers to a gift from Allah to the hearts of his saints. It can also mean a gentle breeze that gives saints the power to move, and may also startle or remove them from their sensory perception.

In this manner, the verse means that Allah's power and knowledge has so encompassed man from within and without that His power and knowledge is nearer to him than his own jugular vein. The term warid [ pl. awridah ] in the Arabic language are animal veins which supply blood to the entire body.

"The Adams of friendship who enumerate the qualities of the Prophet, the Blacksmith of Hearts, who changes the hearts of men and creates the Fragrant Majority. His boy servants have integrity, and impress upon the rest, providing the world with legs to the Haram. The intention is to share all that God has made with mankind and provide the veins and arteries that bind man, God, and the environment together."

"Refuting the Misconception: Faith (Eemaan) Requires Both Inner Belief and Outward Actions in Islam"

There are individuals who claim that faith (eemaan) is solely a matter of the heart and is private between a person and Allah, implying that outward actions are unnecessary. Some also argue that certain Shariah rulings applied only during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and are not relevant for our era, suggesting they are merely for historical knowledge, not for implementation.

These same people may mock sisters who wear the hijab or niqab, saying that covering should be “in the heart” rather than focusing on outward appearance. They might accuse these women of showing off or not genuinely practicing faith. Similarly, they may criticize brothers who grow beards, mocking their appearance by saying that it is unkempt or unhealthy.

At the same time, these individuals do not adhere to the outer requirements of Islam themselves, such as covering their 'awrah, growing a beard, or avoiding free mixing between genders. They justify this by claiming that Allah looks at the heart and not at outward actions. While they believe they are following the Qur'an and Sunnah, their actions contradict Islamic teachings, as they disregard key external practices and mock those who are striving to obey Allah.

### Detailed Proofs from the Qur'an and Sunnah According to the Salaf

1. **Iman Includes Both the Heart and Actions:**

- The Qur'an and Sunnah make it clear that faith is not just an internal belief but is demonstrated through outward actions. Allah says in the Qur'an:

- "But righteousness is in one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, and the Prophets, and gives his wealth... and who establishes prayer and gives zakah..." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:177).

- This verse shows that both belief and actions, such as giving zakah and establishing prayer, are part of righteousness.

- The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Faith consists of more than seventy branches... the highest of which is to declare ‘La ilaha illallah’ (there is no god but Allah), and the lowest of which is to remove something harmful from the road. And modesty is a branch of faith." (Sahih Muslim). This hadith illustrates that eemaan involves both belief and outward actions, including modesty and good deeds.

2. **The Relevance of Shariah in All Eras:**

- Allah says in the Qur'an: "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion" (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:3). This verse shows that the rulings of Islam are complete and relevant for all times, not just during the Prophet’s era.

- The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, "Whoever introduces into this matter of ours (Islam) something that is not part of it will have it rejected." (Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim). This highlights that the laws of Islam are timeless and cannot be dismissed or altered based on personal opinions.

3. **Hijab and Niqab are Not Merely Symbolic:**

- Allah commands women to observe hijab: "And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests..." (Surah An-Nur 24:31).

- The Prophet (peace be upon him) also instructed about modesty, including the physical covering of women, which is a manifestation of piety and obedience to Allah. This is not just an internal feeling but also an outward expression of modesty and faith.

4. **The Beard as a Sunnah of the Prophets:**

- Growing the beard is from the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and is encouraged as an outward symbol of a Muslim man’s adherence to his faith. The Prophet said, "Trim the mustache and leave the beard" (Sahih al-Bukhari). Disregarding or mocking this Sunnah contradicts the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

5. **Actions Reflect Faith:**

- The idea that "Allah only sees the heart" is incomplete because both the Qur'an and the Sunnah emphasize that actions are a reflection of what is in the heart. Allah says: "But Allah will not punish them for what they concealed unless they act upon it" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:284). This demonstrates that while intentions matter, actions must correspond to righteous beliefs.

Mocking those who strive to follow the commands of Allah outwardly by adhering to hijab, growing a beard, or practicing other aspects of the religion, reflects a misunderstanding of the comprehensive nature of Islam. The early generations (Salaf) were unanimous in their view that eemaan involves both inner belief and outward actions, and they upheld the importance of all aspects of the Shariah.

Jumu'ah Sohbet: 24 May 2024

After a technology meltdown, Alhamdulillah we are here! Shukran Ya Allah (Divine gratitude) for your Nana for reinventing this into a "new" phone, according to Mahfouz! Our week led to the highlight where Mahfouz's question about what age you need to be, to join Silat - landing both him and Muntaha as possibly the youngest members to join this Silat school, Subhana'Allah (Divine glory!). In that midst, these were some additional blessed insights, Bismillah:

#1. We were blessed with a reunion with Anne's nur (Allah's light), and she happened to relay our Nabi's PBUH "Prayer of Light." Before that, she reflected that we talked about taqwa (self-vigilance / Allah consciousness) in Ramadan, along with Rabita (purposeful heart connection), because that's how we know what Allah wants us to do. She explained that yes, Allah's word is in the Qur'an, but there are many situations that come up in one's life that require a different energy. We thus need our connection to Allah to go forward. To this day, she tearily yet deeply recollected her "honey's," that's Shaykh Taner's latest words about one's conscience. Our conscience is when Allah is speaking to us.

We all have Allah's voice in us, even as little kids. When we kids misbehave; we may ask, is Allah happy with this? From birth on, we have Allah's voice in our hearts, and our conscience is one of the names for this. The latest message from our Shaykh Taner is that conscience is when Allah's voice speaks to us, as the part of us that is telling the truth. It points out that we are always connected. When we think about all our different life situations, it is when our conscience speaks very loudly.

And those of us that say, 'I do Rabita, but I don't hear Allah's voice!' We must remember that Allah is As-Sami and Al-Basir and answers prayers. Allah hears, Allah sees, and He answers all of our prayers. It is us that needs to remove the veils from our seeing and hearing so that we can perceive Allah! This is what necessitated a focus on how to perform Rabita, the importance of it, because how are we to connect and devote ourselves to Allah without it? We are not doing anything that is outside of the Qur'an. However, she added that there is not one way to connect because Allah has created us each in a particular way. In the "Aqim es-Salat" book, we talk about connecting to Allah through Zikr / Dhikr (Divine remembrance) always, prayers / dua'a where we are sincerely talking to Allah and acknowledging Him as our God. Dua'a are powerful too! As our Nabi's SAW emotive "Prayer of Light."

#2. We just passed the sad and dramatic passing of Irani President Raisi in a helicopter accident. I was not only born in Iran, but President Raisi was beloved amongst the working class people of Iran and actively supporting Palestine during this horrendous time! We lived amongst many of the working class and Iranian villagers who have hearts of gold 💛 They wouldn't wash their veggies that they grew and often come to your Nana and Nanu with stomach issues. But we were often gifted with scrumptious food and produce from their gardens out of their endearing gratitude!

Above: President Raisi's funeral proceedings in Iran, as emotive as the Shia commemoration of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and lot (may Allah be pleased with all of them) in Karbala.

I was reflecting with your Aunties how interesting it is that I have been exposed to traditional systems and modern systems amongst mankind. I appreciate some aspects of both and belong to neither! I choose our Shaykh Taner's identified Allahistan! Allah please forgive and bless everyone in our spiritual chain, especially my humourous introduction to it through Shaykh Taner, and guide Anne as our worldly representative!

#3. Khalifa Rubina this week focused on Surah Yasin of the Qur'an. She made me realise why it's considered the heart of the Qur'an. This late into my journey of Islam and through Sufism, nogal - colloquially speaking - or for Pete's sake! I am guilty of approaching the Qur'an with my arrogant preconceptions: Ya Gafoor Ya Afu (Seeking Divine forgiveness for my past misgiving.) Allah of course is the greatest Poet, if in its verses He can succinctly proclaim of His powerful ability, Kun faya kun (Be, and it is!)

Surah Yasin, like Surah Fatiha, is a common Surah that we've grown up with. Recited during times of death, and Nabi SAW identified it as the heart of the Qur'an. It is because all the tenets of Islam are in Surah Yasin as the Surah of guidance. It is a reminder of Nabi SAW as our messenger, the Qur'an being revealed by Allah, and all the aspects of us understanding our relationship with Allah. The other reminder is what Shaykh Taner spoke extensively about in Surah Yasin. We use the first 12 verses for spiritual, mental, and emotional cleansing. Shaykh Taner and Shaykha Muzeyyen Ansari have noted this in the healing book below. A message throughout Surah Yasin is guidance and the beautiful understanding of "qalb" as the heart that is to turn. The understanding and contemplating on Surah Yasin helps us to repeatedly turn to Allah. Our purpose is to be khalifa (representatives) of Allah by turning to Him repeatedly. Therefore, working with and connecting to our hearts is what we are striving for Insha'Allah! May we be people of "Qalbun Saleem" possessing spiritual hearts that Allah is pleased with.

The Surah of the Qur'an that begin with Arabic letters, Shaykh Taner explains are secret codes of the Qur'an to ensure that it is protected. You can learn more from different mufassireen (scholars who interpret Qur'an and hadith). Another understanding is that it is another name for our Nabi SAW. "Seen" is the letter that appears in "insaan" as human beings, implying that Nabi SAW was the most perfect representation. Nabi SAW is described as the best character and example. These first 12 verses are recommended to read daily and the intent is for all-round cleansing. With that we can recite 3 Surah Ikhlas, 1 Surah Falaq, 1 Surah Nas and Aytul Qursi. This is shared with us in the book "Alternative Healing: The Sufi Way"

In conclusion, Shukran Ya Allah that your Ammu can be a multitasking researcher because she noted what you reflected during Silat class last night!:

"Kiddy feedback:

Why was Guru @⁨Rennie S⁩ talking to me (us) so often? 😇

Were we the first kids to join Silat? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I can't wait to show my friends my new Silat moves! 🤭

@⁨~Gasan⁩ looks so strong 😉💪

It's fun that the moves have a story 🐟 @⁨Ilana⁩ (Your breakdown of the moves and dance was magic!)

Gratitude for such an endearing welcome to the "Silaties", as their dad calls them 💓🙏"

The summer is coming, women and girls started to dress immodestly and wander around. How can we protect our eyes? Because wherever we look, we see them. Will you give information about the prohibited glance (looking at what one should not)?

Allah Almighty says, "Nor come nigh to adultery!" in verse 32 of the chapter al-Isra. Acting upon the phrase ‘nor come nigh (near)’, Islamic scholars stated that all of the acts that could lead a person to adultery were forbidden. Looking at obscene pictures or videos can be regarded in this category. Therefore, it is not permissible to look at those kinds of pictures.

As one of our scholars says, all of the sins and moral deteriorations start with the look at obscene things; it develops with the insistence on the looks and then it turns into actual sin. Besides, the eyes take the pictures of the things they look at and store them in the archives of images. No matter where man goes and where he is, those pictures are in front of his eyes in the realm of the imagination.

It is not permissible to look since lustful feelings arouse from such looking.

“Moreover, the Qur'an compassionately commands women to wear a veil of modesty, so that they will be treated with respect and those mines of compassion will not be abased beneath the feet of low desires, and will not become like worthless goods for the excitement of lust. However, civilization has drawn women out of their homes, rent their veils, and corrupted mankind.” (The Words, p. 381)

One of the reasons that cause the corruption of the society is, as it is expressed above, the women’s going out of their homes and being incorporated in the community immoderately and becoming unimportant things although they are beings deserving respect. Thus, the women lost their self-respect and caused the members of the community to corrupt.

The duty of the Muslim becomes heavier and he needs to act more meticulously in order to preserve his belief in a time when obscenity prevails and when modesty and chastity are not given any importance. In our community, there is almost no place that women have not entered today. They are abundant in the shops, markets, ships, state offices, etc. Under these circumstances, a Muslim cannot leave the community and live in seclusion. However, he has to obey some principles due to his belief.

The relationship of a man with a non-mahram woman and the relationship of a woman with a non-mahram man are limited and subject to certain criteria. Our Lord commands believing men and women as follows:

“Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty...”(Surah an Nur, 24/30-31)

In those verses, believing men are definitely ordered not to look at non-mahram women and believing women are ordered not to look at non-mahram men.

What is the limit and content of that forbidden look?

The phrase “lower their gaze” in the verse does not mean to shut their eyes, bend their heads and walk like that. Besides, it is not possible to walk like that. A person naturally sees a man and a woman and looks at him or her. However, what is meant here is to look at the opposite sex with lust and having sexual feelings. The criterion for the look of lust is to look continuously, several times. We find out about that criterion from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). He said the following to Hazrat Ali regarding the issue:

“O Ali! Do not turn round to look! The first look is all right but you have no right for the second look.”(Abu Dawud, Nikah: 43; Tirmidhi, Adab: 28)

When one sees someone from the opposite sex, one must not look at continuously but turn his/her head. Thus, one does not approach the limit of the look of lust. Generally, the door to fornication is opened through looks. Then, the other doors open one another. Thus, by preventing the looks, the door to fornication can be closed.

Fakhruddin Razi, reports the following sentence from the Torah:

“The look at haram sows the seed of lust in the heart. And lust causes deep sorrow in man.”

Each seed of sin that falls into the heart endangers the spiritual life of man if it finds an appropriate ground and germinates. As Dhunnun Misri, a great spiritualist (sufist) says, “To close the eyes to sins is the best way of protection.”

Our Prophet explains the state of a Muslim who tries to protect himself from haram as follows:

“If the beauty of a woman catches the eyes of a Muslim and he turns his eyes away from her, Allah Almighty grants that Muslim a kind of worshipping whose pleasure he will feel in his heart.”(Musnad, V/264)

As it is known, the parts of the body of a man that is haram (forbidden) to show to other men and non-mahram women are the parts between his navel and knees according to the opinion of the most of the scholars. The parts of the body of a woman that is haram to show non-mahram men are all of her body except her hands and face.

Accordingly, it is permissible for a woman to look at the parts of the body of a man except the parts between his navel and knees without lust and repetition. It is also permissible for a man to look at the hands and face of a woman without lust. However, if a man or woman looks at the above-mentioned parts with sexual pleasure, then it becomes forbidden.

A man can look at non-mahram woman in business life and in some obligatory situations. Fakhruddin Razi, the writer of at-Tafsir al-Kabir, lists those obligatory situations as follows in the interpretation of above-mentioned verse:

*A man can look at the face and hands of a woman he wants to marry. As a matter of fact, once, a man went to the Prophet and said he wanted to marry an Ansar woman, while Abu Hurayra was with the Prophet. Our Prophet asked him, “Did you look at that woman?” The man said, “No!..” Then, our Prophet said, “Go and look at her because there is something in the eyes of Ansar.” (Muslim, Nikah: 74)

In this regard, it is also mentioned that even a look of lust is permissible.

* In the court, it is permissible for the judge and the witnesses to look at a woman in order to identify and recognize her. Here, to do away with injustice and to realize justice is in question. (at-Tafsir al-Kabir, XXIII: 203)

The following sentences are present in al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya:

“It is permissible to look at the hands and face of a woman if a man feels free from sedition and lust.” (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya, 5: 329)

In the book al-Muhadhdhab, the following is stated: “If it is obligatory, a tradesman can look at the open face of a woman. If he does not have a bad intention, he will not be responsible before Allah.” (al-Muhadhdhab, II: 34)

﷽

➖➖➖

MY PROPHET IS MY PRIDE

➖➖➖

Why Are You Ashamed?

➖➖➖

Brothers and sisters!

Why are we ashamed?

When we have the best of mankind ﷺ leading us.

As Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger

[4:59]

Meaning we follow the Deen of Allah ﷻ, and His Qur'an and we follow His Messenger in what he did, and his Sunnah ﷺ.

And when we are made aware of a Ruling which makes us sacrifice, we shouldn't ask "Why?" Or we shouldn't complain.

Rather we should say

As Allah ﷻ says in Surah An Nur

إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَن يَقُولُواْ سَمِعۡنَا وَأَطَعۡنَاۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ

The only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we obey." And those are the successful.

[24:51]

So knowing all of this, we need to realise that we must practice our religion with no compromise, regardless whether the society dislikes you or not.

They are following Shaytaan anyway! Who could be more stupid than them?

Because we all claim to Love Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ but we need to reflect on whether we love them to the extent that we have actually sacrificed in our lives for the sake of Allah ﷻ.

As Allah ﷻ says:

قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

Say "If you truly love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults and Allah is forgiving and merciful.

[3:31]

What do we value more?

The opinion of Allah ﷻ?

The Non-Muslim giving you dirty looks across the road?

Whether Prophet ﷺ could recognise you on Qiyamah because of your Wudhu?

The Non-muslim who is laughing because he caught you with your foot in the sink?

Prophet ﷺ was sent as a guide and as an example for all mankind, yet you became ashamed of him.

Why?

Ya ibn Adam! The Sahaba strove to uphold the Sunnah because it was Sunnah even if they had to die, don't leave it aside because the Sunnah requires extra sacrifice.

May Allah ﷻ forgive us all and keep us steadfast upon the Sunnah.

آمِيْن

Tamil Sex Videos Is Forbidden In Islam

In Islam, the consumption and sharing of explicit sexual content, including Tamil sex videos, is strictly forbidden. Islamic teachings emphasize modesty, respect, and the preservation of moral values. Muslims are encouraged to focus on fostering healthy relationships, maintaining modesty, and avoiding actions that may lead to temptation or corruption. It is important for individuals to be aware of these guidelines and adhere to them as part of their religious beliefs. In Islam, the consumption of Tamil Sex Videos is strictly forbidden, as it goes against the teachings and principles of the religion. This is due to Islam's emphasis on modesty, purity, and the sanctity of marriage. The prohibition of such explicit content is rooted in the belief that it leads to moral decay, promotes immorality, and disrupts the harmonious functioning of society. Islam places great importance on preserving the dignity of individuals and safeguarding the sanctity of human relationships. The viewing or sharing of Tamil Sex Videos is seen as a violation of these values, as it objectifies and degrades individuals, perpetuates harmful stereotypes, and fosters an unhealthy understanding of intimacy. Islam encourages believers to seek knowledge, develop self-control, and maintain respectful and loving relationships within the confines of marriage.

Understanding the Prohibition of Tamil Sex Videos in Islam

Islam is a religion that emphasizes modesty, purity, and the sanctity of marital relations. It promotes strict adherence to moral and ethical values in all aspects of life, including the consumption of media and entertainment. In this context, the topic of Tamil sex videos becomes relevant as it raises questions about the permissibility of indulging in explicit content within the framework of Islamic teachings. Islam considers sexual intimacy to be a private and sacred act that should only occur between married couples. It views the dissemination or consumption of explicit sexual material as a violation of these principles, as it promotes immorality, indecency, and strays away from the path of righteousness. Consequently, the production, distribution, and consumption of Tamil sex videos are strictly forbidden in Islam. This prohibition is derived from various sources of Islamic jurisprudence, including the Qur'an, the Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), and the consensus of Islamic scholars throughout history. These sources elucidate the boundaries and guidelines for maintaining a pure and chaste society, free from the corrupting influences of sexual misconduct and immoral behavior. The Qur'an's Stance on Modesty and Sexual Purity The Qur'an is the holy book of Islam, believed to be the word of God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It provides guidance on various aspects of life, including matters related to sexuality and moral conduct. In several verses, the Qur'an emphasizes modesty, chastity, and the protection of one's private parts from illicit relationships and promiscuity. For example, in Surah Al-Isra (17:32), the Qur'an states, "And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way." This verse explicitly forbids engaging in any form of sexual activity outside the bounds of marriage. Furthermore, the Qur'an also encourages believers to lower their gaze and guard their modesty. In Surah An-Nur (24:30), it states, "Tell the believing men to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do." This verse highlights the importance of controlling one's desires and avoiding any form of visual or sensual stimulation that can lead to immoral actions. Based on these and other verses, it is clear that the Qur'an upholds a high standard of sexual purity and modesty, which extends to the prohibition of Tamil sex videos and similar explicit content. The Hadith and Scholars' Consensus on Sexual Decency The Hadith, the recorded sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, provide further insight into Islamic teachings concerning sexual decency and morality. The Prophet is reported to have condemned any form of obscenity, indecency, and lewd behavior. One well-known Hadith narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri states, "The Prophet said, 'Whoever guarantees me (the chastity of) what is between his legs (i.e., his private parts), and what is between his jaws (i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him Paradise'" (Sahih al-Bukhari). This Hadith highlights the importance of protecting one's modesty and refraining from engaging in any form of immoral sexual behavior. The consensus among Islamic scholars is that consuming or promoting explicit sexual material, such as Tamil sex videos, is not in line with the teachings and principles of Islam. They argue that these videos not only corrupt individuals' moral compass but also have detrimental effects on society as a whole, promoting immorality and weakening the fabric of families and communities. Therefore, based on the Qur'an, the Hadith, and the consensus of scholars, it is clear that Tamil sex videos and similar explicit content are strictly forbidden in Islam. The Consequences of Engaging in Tamil Sex Videos Engaging in or promoting Tamil sex videos carries significant spiritual, emotional, and societal consequences for those who violate Islamic teachings. These consequences serve as both a deterrent and a reminder of the importance of adhering to the principles of Islam. Spiritually, indulging in explicit sexual content distances individuals from God and damages their connection to the divine. Islam teaches that sexual intimacy should be pursued within the confines of a lawful and loving marriage, as it is a means of expressing love, building emotional bonds, and procreating. By engaging in explicit videos, individuals undermine the sanctity of this act and divert their focus away from what is permissible and pure. Emotionally, consuming explicit content can lead to a distorted view of relationships, intimacy, and one's own self-image. It can create unrealistic expectations and foster a culture of objectification, where individuals are reduced to mere objects of desire. This can have long-lasting detrimental effects on mental health, self-esteem, and the ability to form genuine and meaningful connections with others. Socially, the consumption and distribution of Tamil sex videos contribute to the erosion of family values, break down the fabric of communities, and perpetuate a culture of sexual immorality. These videos often exploit vulnerable individuals and perpetuate harmful stereotypes and power imbalances. By actively participating in such activities, individuals contribute to the degradation of society and the promotion of unhealthy and destructive behavior. It is essential to recognize the detrimental consequences and the moral, emotional, and social harm associated with engaging in Tamil sex videos. Islam promotes a wholesome and principled lifestyle that values purity, modesty, and the protection of individuals' dignity and rights. Resisting the Temptation and Promoting Chastity In order to resist the temptation of engaging in Tamil sex videos and similar explicit content, individuals can adopt various strategies and practices rooted in Islamic teachings. These strategies aim to strengthen one's faith, promote self-control, and create an environment that supports chastity. 1. Seek Knowledge and Understanding One of the most important steps is to seek knowledge about Islam's teachings on sexuality, modesty, and moral conduct. Understanding the wisdom behind Islamic principles can help individuals develop a greater appreciation for the significance of chastity and the consequences of engaging in explicit content. By studying the Qur'an, Hadith, and the works of respected Islamic scholars, individuals can deepen their understanding and strengthen their resolve to adhere to Islamic teachings. 2. Engage in Regular Prayer and Reflection Prayer is an essential aspect of Islam that encourages self-discipline, mindfulness, and inner reflection. Engaging in regular prayer allows individuals to seek guidance from God, find solace in spiritual connection, and cultivate the strength to resist temptations and inclinations towards illicit activities. Prayer also serves as a reminder of one's commitment to living a pious and virtuous life, strengthening the resolve to avoid engaging in harmful behaviors. 3. Foster a Supportive Environment Building a supportive environment that promotes modesty and chastity can greatly assist individuals in resisting the temptation of Tamil sex videos. Surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals who share the same values and goals creates a positive and reinforcing atmosphere, making it easier to overcome temptations. By engaging in wholesome activities, forming strong friendships, and partaking in community service, individuals can channel their energy into productive and meaningful pursuits, reducing the likelihood of succumbing to illicit desires. 4. Utilize Technology Wisely The advent of technology has made explicit content readily accessible, posing a significant challenge for individuals striving to uphold Islamic principles. However, technology can also be used as a tool to resist temptation and promote chastity. By utilizing content filters, parental controls, and other digital tools, individuals can create barriers to explicit content and limit exposure to harmful influences. It is important to be vigilant in managing digital devices and to make conscious choices to prioritize content that aligns with Islamic values. Conclusion The consumption and promotion of Tamil sex videos contradict the principles and values of Islam, which emphasizes modesty, purity, and the sanctity of marital relations. Through various sources of Islamic jurisprudence, including the Qur'an, Hadith, and the consensus of scholars, it is clear that engaging in explicit sexual content is strictly forbidden in Islam. Participating in Tamil sex videos carries significant consequences for individuals, including spiritual, emotional, and societal harm. It is important to resist temptation and promote chastity through seeking knowledge, engaging in prayer and reflection, fostering supportive environments, and utilizing technology wisely. By adhering to Islamic teachings and upholding the values of modesty and sexual purity, individuals can lead fulfilling and righteous lives, promoting a society that is built on principles of morality, ethics, and respect for one another.

بِسْـــــم اللّٰــــــهِ الرَّحْمٰــــــــنِ الرَحِيْـــــــــــــمِ

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Faedah Hadits Hari ini:

عَنْ اَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، "اَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- مَرَّ عَلَى غِلْمَانٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ." متفق عليه

Dari Anas bin Maalik, "Bahwa Rosuululloohu ﷺ Pernah Bertemu Dengan Beberapa Orang Anak Kecil, Lalu Beliau Memberi SALAM Kepada Mereka." (Muttafaq 'alaih)

MENGUCAPKAN SALAM KETIKA BERTEMU ANAK KECIL

Sungguh Benar Firman Alloohu ﷻ Dalam Al-Qur'an Yang Menyatakan, “Sesungguhnya Pada Diri Rosuululloohu ﷺ Terdapat Teladan Yang Baik.” (QS. Al-Ahzab: 21)

Kemuliaan Akhlak Rosuululloohu ﷺ Itu Ditunjukkan Kepada Siapapun, baik Keluarga, Sahabat, Orang yang Ditemui di Perjalanan, bahkan terhadap Musuhya Sekalipun.

Salah Satu Akhlak Rosuululloohu ﷺ Yang Mengagumkan adalah Beliau ﷺ Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Anak Kecil. Walaupun Beliau ﷺ itu Seorang Nabi dan Rosul, Seorang Pemimpin, dan Seorang Penguasa, Rosuululloohu ﷺ Tidak Segan atau Gengsi Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Anak Kecil.

Inilah Keteladanan Yang Dicontohkan oleh Nabi Muhammad ﷺ. Beliau Selalu Mengucapkan Salam Setiap Kali Bertemu dengan Orang-Orang, juga Anak Kecil. Beliau Sangat Tawadhu. Beliau Sama Sekali Tidak Sombong, Meskipun Beliau ﷺ Menjadi Pemimpin dan Penguasa Tertinggi di Jazirah Arob pada Waktu Itu.

Sedangkan Banyak Diantara Kita, Mungkin Tidak Mau Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Anak Kecil. Tak Ada Ceritanya Orang Tua Mengucapkan Salam Lebih Duluan Kepada Anak Kecil. Anak Kecillah Yang Harus Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Orang Tua. Begitulah Sikap Kita Pada Umumnya Dikarenakan Kita Tidak Mengetahui Sunnah-sunnah Nabinya ﷺ.

Sebagai Orang Tua, Hendaknya Kita Tidak Merasa Segan Untuk Memulai Mengucapkan Salam kepada Anak Kecil, baik Anak Kandung Kita Sendiri ataupun Bukan sebagai Pembelajaran Akhlak Yang Baik Kepada Mereka. Selain Berpahala, Mengucapkan Salam Akan Menebarkan Rasa Cinta dan Kasih Sayang kepada Kaum Muslimin.

Rosuululloohu ﷺ Bersabda,

"أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ."

“Maukah Aku Tunjukkan Kepada Kalian Satu Perbuatan Yang Jika Kalian Melakukannya, Niscaya Kalian Akan Saling Mencintai? Tebarkanlah Salam Ditengah-tengah Kalian.” (HR. Muslim no. 54)

Mengucapkan Salam kepada Anak-anak Kecil Berarti Meneladani Nabi ﷺ.

Mengucapkan Salam kepada Anak-anak Kecil Berarti Menebarkan dan Memasyarakatkan Akhlak Islami Yang Mulia dan Luhur.

Mengucapkan Salam kepada Anak-anak Kecil Akan Menimbulkan Pengaruh Yang Baik dan Kuat Dalam Diri Anak-anak Tersebut, Mengajarkan dan Membentuk Akhlak Luhur Mereka, Sehingga Nabi ﷺ pun Membiasakannya.

Seorang Ayah Hendaknya Mengucapkan Salam kepada Anak-anak dan Istrinya Ketika Masuk Rumah (misalnya, Pulang dari Bekerja), Sebagaimana Firman Alloohu تعالى,

"فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمْ بُيُوتًا فَسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ."

“Maka Apabila Kamu Memasuki (Suatu Rumah dari) Rumah-Rumah (Ini) Hendaklah Kamu Memberi Salam Kepada (Penghuninya Yang Berarti Memberi Salam) Kepada Dirimu Sendiri, Salam Yang Ditetapkan Dari Sisi Allooh, Yang Diberi Berkah Lagi Baik. Demikianlah Allooh Menjelaskan Ayat-ayat(Nya) Bagimu, agyar Kamu Memahaminya.” (QS. An-Nur [24] : 61)

Diriwayatkan dari Sahabat Anas bin Maalik -rodhiyalloohu ‘anhu-,

أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى صِبْيَانٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَقَالَ: "كَانَ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَفْعَلُهُ".

“Sesungguhnya Ia (Anas bin Malik) Berjalan Melewati Anak Kecil, Kemudian Beliau Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Merek” Dan Anas Berkata, “Nabi ﷺ Dulu Biasa Melakukannya". (HR. Bukhori no. 6247 dan Muslim no. 2168)

Setelah Memberikan Contoh Kepada Mereka, Kitapun Bisa Mengajarkan Kepada Anak-anak Kecil Tersebut Bahwa Dalam Adab Islami, Anak-anak Kecillah Yang Hendaknya Memulai Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Orang Yang Lebih Tua. Kitapun Bisa Mengajarkan kepada Mereka Bagaimanakah Teks (Kalimat) Ucapan Salam Dalam Islam.

Nabi Muhammad ﷺ Bersabda ,

"يُسَلِّمُ الصَّغِيرُ عَلَى الكَبِيرِ، وَالمَارُّ عَلَى القَاعِدِ، وَالقَلِيلُ عَلَى الكَثِيرِ."

“Anak Kecil Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Orang Yang Lebih Tua, Orang Yang Berjalan Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Orang Yang Sedang Duduk, Dan Sekelompok Orang (Rombongan) Yang Lebih Sedikit Jumlahnya Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Rombongan Yang Jumlahnya Lebih Banyak.” (HR. Bukhori no. 6231, 6234)

Kita Ajarkan Pula, Bagaimanakah Menjawab Salam yang Ditujukan kepada Kita. Alloohu تعالى Berfirman,

"وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُمْ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيبًا."

“Apabila Kamu Diberi Penghormatan Dengan Sesuatu Penghormatan, Maka Balaslah Penghormatan Itu Dengan Yang Lebih Baik Dari Padanya, Atau Balaslah Penghormatan Itu Dengan Yang Serupa. Sesungguhnya Alloohu تعالى Memperhitungankan Segala Sesuatu.” (QS. An-Nisa` [4] : 86)

Dalam Ucapan Salam (Sapaan Islami) Terdapat Penghormatan dan Penghargaan kepada Orang Lain. Juga Terdapat Do'a Yang Baik, Yang Tidak Terdapat Dalam Sapaan-sapaan Yang Lain, Semacam Ucapan, “Permisi”, “Mari... Pak”, "Selamat Pagi", "Selamat Sore", dan Sejenisnya.

Dari Ayat Diatas, Alloohu ﷻ Memerintahkan Ketika Kita Mendapatkan Penghormatan, yaitu Ucapan Salam, Hendaknya Kita Membalasnya Dengan Ucapan Salam Yang Lebih Baik. Sebagaimana Diriwayatkan dari Sahabat Abu Huroiroh -rodhiyalloohu ‘anhu-, Nabi ﷺ Bersabda,

"خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ وَطُولُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَى أُولَئِكَ مِنَ المَلاَئِكَةِ، فَاسْتَمِعْ مَا يُحَيُّونَكَ، تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ، فَقَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقَالُوا: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ ، فَزَادُوهُ: وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ."

“Alloohu تعالى Menciptakan Adam Dengan Tinggi 60 Hasta (30m). Kemudian Allooh Berfirman, “Pergilah Dan Ucapkanlah Salam Kepada Mereka Para Malaikat. Kemudian Dengarkanlah Salam Mereka Kepadamu, Itulah Salam Untukmu Dan Salam Untuk Anak Keturunanmu.” Maka Adampun Mengucapkan, “Assalaamu’alaikum.” Malaikat Menjawab, “Assalaamu’alaika wa rohmatullooh.” Para Malaikat Menambahkan “wa rohmatullooh.” (HR. Bukhori no. 3326 dan Muslim no. 2841)

Inilah Ucapan Salam atau Sapaan Kaum Muslimin, yaitu “Assalaamu’alaikum.” Adapun Sapaan “Selamat Pagi”, “Selamat Siang”, “Selamat Malam”, "Dadah..." atau “Bye Bye” dan Sejenisnya, Bukanlah Berasal Dari Petunjuk Nabi ﷺ. Bahkan, Ucapan Salam Semacam Itu Diambil Dari Orang-Orang Kafir. Ucapan-ucapan Sapaan Tersebut Pada Asalnya Tidaklah Terlarang, Kecuali Jika Ucapan-ucapan Tersebut Menggantikan Ucapan Sapaan Islami atau Ucapan Salam Yang Diajarkan Dalam Islam (Assalaamu’alaikum). Kalau Ditambahkan Setelah Ucapan Salam Islami, misalnya Sapaan “Assalasmua’alaikum, Selamat Pagi” dan Semisalnya, Maka Hal Ini Tidaklah Mengapa.

Ucapan Salam Yang Paling Baik adalah “Assalaamu’alaikum wa rohmatulloohi wa barokaatuh”. Diriwayatkan dari Sahabat ‘Imron bin Husain -rodhiyalloohu ‘anhu-, Beliau Berkata,

"جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: عَشْرٌ ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ، فَجَلَسَ، فَقَالَ: عِشْرُونَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ، فَجَلَسَ، فَقَالَ: ثَلَاثُونَ."

“Ada Seseorang Mendatangi Nabi Muhammad ﷺ , Kemudian Mengucapkan, “Assalaamu’alaikum.” Maka Nabi ﷺ Menjawab Salam Tersebut, Orang Tersebut Duduk, dayn Nabi ﷺ Berkata, “Sepuluh.” Kemudian Datang Orang Kedua Mengucapkan, “Assalaamu’alaikum wa rohmatullooh.” Maka Nabi ﷺ Menjawab Salam Tersebut, Orang Tersebut Duduk, Dan Nabi ﷺ Berkata, “Dua Puluh.” Kemudian Datang Orang Ketiga Mengucapkan, “Assalaamu’alaikum wa rohmatulloohi wa barokaatuh.” Maka Nabi ﷺ Menjawab Salam Tersebut, Orang Tersebut Duduk, dan Nabi ﷺ Berkata, “Tiga Puluh.” (HR. Abu Dawud no. 5195 dan at-Tirmidzi no. 2689, Hadits Shohih)

Berdasarkan Hadits Diatas, Ucapan Salam “Assalaamu’alaikum” Itu Bernilai Sepuluh Kebaikan; “Assalaamu’alaikum wa rohmatullooh” Itu Bernilai Dua Puluh Kebaikan; dan Ucapan Salam “Assalaamu’alaikum wa rohmatulloohi wa barokaatuh” Itu Bernilai Tiga Puluh Kebaikan.

Dalam Hadits Diatas juga Terdapat Pelajaran Tentang Adab Para Sahabat Kepada Nabi ﷺ, yaitu Orang Yang Baru Datang Mengucapkan Salam Kepada Orang Yang Ada di Tempatnya, Para Sahabat Menunggu Jawaban Salam dari Nabi ﷺ, Baru Kemudian Mereka Duduk.

Inilah Tuntunan Islam Dalam Mempererat Hubungan Persaudaraan dan Terjalinnya Kasih Sayang Diantara Kaum Muslimin. Tentu Saja, Kita Harus Meninggalkan Kebiasaan-kebiasaan Yang Jauh Dari Tuntunan Nabi Muhammad ﷺ. Sebagai Gantinya, Kita Menghidupkan Sunnah-Sunnah Beliau ﷺ Yang Sedemikan Benderang Ini dan Penuh Keberkahan Dalam Kehidupan Kita Sehari-hari dan Anak-anak Kita.

والله تعالى اعلم بالصواب

وصلى الله وسلم وبارك على نبينا محمد وآله وصحبه أجمعين، وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين.

Semoga Bermanfa'at.

Mohon Ta'awunnya untuk Menyebarkan Risalah Dakwah Tauhid dan Sunnah ini, Agar Orang-orang Yang Tidak Mengetahuinya Dapat Mengetahuinya dan Menjadi Timbangan Amalan Sholih Bagi Yang Menyebarkannya di Akhirat Kelak, Insyaa Alloohu تعالى.

Response to a Sister Upset with Men’s Reward in Jannah

Sister, it seems to me (and to clarify: I am not a person of knowledge, just a layperson who is learning)—you have a fundamental flaw in your understanding of a few key concepts related to both life and the religion. I apologize if my candor is upsetting, it's not my intention, but I think we often tiptoe around these important topics and it doesn't benefit us to do so.

Some Questions to Think About

does it upset you that men do not have periods?

does it upset you that men do not give birth?

does it upset you that you're not able to urinate standing up?

does it upset you that men have to wear their pants above their ankles?

does it upset you that you can't grow a full beard?

does it upset you that men have to maintain their wives and families financially?

does it upset you that men are more analytic thinkers, generally speaking, and women more emotionally intelligent?

If the answer to the above is "No," then why does it upset you that most men desire multiple wives, while most women desire one man. In fact, just with the statement laid out like that, you can see the wisdom and perfection of Allah's decree—to the woman, what she desires (being married to a single man) and to the man what he desires (to be married to multiple women). This is like if you're at a party and everyone gets a single slice of cake. You share yours with someone but then are upset if anyone else also shares some with him.

Jannah

As for Paradise, then truly, our concern should only be with getting in.

That said, I've heard of women clutching their pearls over men having multiple wives in Jannah and it always feels so incredibly shortsighted.

Some Questions to Think About

are you upset that you have to work for a living in this world?

does it bother you that you have to seek out food and sustenance and then eat it intentionally?

are you upset that you have to seek out shelter and live in a house?

The you that was a fetus did not have any such worldly concerns, yet you were alive for a period of roughly 8 months in the belly of your mother, with all your concerns taken care of by The One Who Created You, and you were content because you hadn't yet learned ingratitude. The same Allah who decreed you would be in a safe place (as the womb is referred to in the Qur'an) for 9 months before your birth is the same Allah who has promised:

"I have prepared for My righteous slaves that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and it has never crossed the mind of man. All of that is reserved, besides which all that you have known is as nothing."

—Sahih al-Bukhari 3072, Sahih Muslim 2824

And He has said in his Noble Qur'an:

"No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do"

—Qur'an (al-Sajdah) 32:17

So will you then put your meager, human mind and imagination up against that which Allah has created? Who knows better what you will be pleased with? You or Allah the Most High? Just think in this world, how many things you begged Him for which were terrible for you, which you didn't get and you came to know afterwards that you were saved from a wretched affair?

"and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know."

—Qur'an (al-Baqarah) 2:216

In addition to this, Jannah is full of only perfection. Everyone is young, tall, and beautiful. I have heard students of knowledge mention that the wives of men in Jannah will be even more beautiful than the hooris, and a man will leave his house in the morning, and when he returns, he will say to his wife, "By Allah, when I left I thought you were so beautiful but now, upon my return, I find you even more beautiful than before!" and she will say the same to him.

Death, sadness, rancor, jealousy, envy, hatred—all these feelings and more will be eradicated before anyone enters Jannah. So however you feel about anything on Earth will be completely irrelevant by the time we get to Jannah, by the permission of Allah.

May Allah make us from among those who enter Jannah. Ameen.

Marriage

In Islam, a man with multiple wives has to fulfill ALL the rights due to each one. That means that for all intents and purposes, for her, it's almost no different to being married to a man who has no other wives. She is still:

being taken care of financially

being taken care of emotionally

having her needs met sexually

respected and her family is also given their due respect

within her rights to have children from the union

Polygyny isn't for everyone at the end of the day, so you can write it into your contract if it's an issue for you.

To Be Muslim

Ultimately, what does it mean to be Muslim?

The only statement of the [true] believers when they are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say, "We hear and we obey." And those are the successful.

—Qur'an (an-Nur) 24:51

Tolerance in the Life of the Individual and Society: Part 1

First of all, I would like to indicate that tolerance is not something that was invented by us. Tolerance was first introduced on this Earth by the prophets whose teacher was God. Even if it would not be correct to attribute tolerance to God, He has attributes that are rooted in tolerance, like forgiveness, the forgiveness of sins, compassion and mercy for all creatures, and the veiling of the shame and faults of others. The All-Forgiving, the All-Merciful, and the All-Veiling of Faults are among the most frequently mentioned names of God in the Qur'an.

The golden era when tolerance was represented at its apex was the Age of Happiness, and I would like to give some true examples from that historical time, events that extend in a line from that "period of roses" until today.

An Example of Forgiveness

As is known, in the historical "Event of Slander" the hypocrites made slanderous accusations against 'A'isha, the chaste wife of the Prophet and the spiritual mother of all believers. 'A'isha has a special place among the pure wives of the Prophet because the Prophet was the first man she saw when she awakened to womanhood. In a period when she became fully conscious of her womanhood, 'A'isha became a member of the Prophet's pure household and there she breathed only an atmosphere of chastity and honor. 'A'isha, an exemplar of chastity, became subjected to a planned slander campaign during this period. Both herself, her family and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, suffered much because of this slander. However, the verse revealed approximately one month later declared 'A'isha's unadulterated purity and innocence. However, her father Abu Bakr, who had been giving financial support to one of those who was involved in the slander, took an oath not to give any more support to this person. But, the verse that was revealed warned that the most faithful friend of the Prophet, Sultan of Tolerance, should be more lenient. The verse reads:

Let not those among you who are endowed with grace and amplitude of means resolve by oath against helping their kinsmen, those in want, and those who have left their homes in God's cause: let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that God should forgive you? For God is the All-Forgiving, the All-Merciful. (An-Nur 24:22)

I want to draw you attention in particular to the expression at the end of this verse: Do you not wish that God should forgive you? For God is the All-Forgiving, the All-Merciful. In reality, the All-Merciful God Whose mercy is unequalled and compared to which all the mercy in the world is but a drop in the ocean, continually secrets Himself and, in spite of everything, forgives us, forgives everything, from the unbecoming words that enter our ears and darken our spirits to the filth that flows into us from the universe and back to the society that we have polluted. His question, Do you not wish that God should forgive you? directed at people like us who are always in need of purification, is very fine and sincere and worthy of being coveted. By means of this verse, God indicates that just as He forgives us, so too should we forgive one another for the mistakes we make, and this is illustrated to us as a Qur'anic virtue in the character of Abu Bakr.

Forgiveness and tolerance are given great importance in the messages of the Prophets, which are from divine and celestial sources. A prophet has the duty of educating and training others. In order for the truths that he is conveying to influence the hearts of others, his own heart must beat with forgiveness and tolerance. When some faults that are the result of a person's nature collide with the tolerant atmosphere of a person of truth, they melt and disperse like a meteor. Instead of splitting open someone's head, the legions of light, which resemble the lamps lit on nights of celebration, will soothe the eyes and give joy to the heart. As I mentioned before, there is in actual fact such a divine virtue recommended in our Prophet's hadith, "Take on the virtue of God." Does not God Himself always forgive those who deny Him? On the cosmic plane this crime is unforgivable murder and rebellion. But look at the vastness of God's forgiveness and pardon. In spite of the ungratefulness of His servants, He says:

Without doubt My Mercy precedes My Wrath.

and

My Mercy extends to all things. (Al-Araf 7:156)

With His attribute of Mercy, without showing any bias, He nurtures and protects all human beings and, indeed all animate creatures, and He continues to give sustenance even to those who deny Him.

Here it is possible to view all the prophets from the same perspective and present some examples from all of them, but let it suffice to give a few from Prophet Muhammad, the essence of existence, peace and blessings be upon him.

Hamza was one of the Companions whom the Prophet loved most. He was not just an ordinary Companion, he was also the Prophet's uncle and they had both been nursed by the same wetnurse. Suppressing his honor and pride, this lionhearted giant of a man entered the spiritual atmosphere of the Pride of Humanity, peace and blessings be upon him. Supporting his nephew and saying "I am with you" at a critical time when the Muslims were weak in numbers raised his value manifold. Thus, by demonstrating the qualities of his closeness on the spiritual plane as well as on the physical plane, he was able to reach what seemed to be an unattainable height of greatness. Of course, the loyalty of this great hero was rewarded by the Prophet. He was martyred one day while fighting at Uhud; his bloody murderers had sworn to raid Madina and to run every man and woman through. At the hands of his murderers, their hands, eyes and thoughts bloody, Hamza was chopped into pieces. His sacred eyes were gorged out, his ears and lips cut off, his chest was split open and his liver was torn out and bitten into. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, whose bosom was full of compassion and mercy, looked at this horrifying scene and his eyes filled with tears like clouds of rain. There were seventy martyrs at the battle of Uhud—twice as many again had been wounded—women were widowed and children were orphaned. When he looked at this scene with the compassion of a prophet, it was almost unbearable. The children of Hamza and the children of other martyrs appeared before the Prophet, shivering like newly hatched chicks. As related in his biographical works, no sooner than the thought "In retribution for what they have done . . ." had crossed his mind was the following verse revealed:

And if you have to respond to any wrong, respond to the extent of the wrong done to you; but if you endure patiently, this is indeed better for he who endures. (An-Nahl 16:126)

In this verse he was being directed to a horizon of understanding according to his level, and in other words he was told, "You should not think like that." That sun of leniency and tolerance, peace and blessings be upon him, buried all the pain in his chest and chose the road of patience.

Actually, the Prophet interwove the whole of his life, not only that moment, with tolerance. The polytheists did not spare him any torture or trouble. They drove him out of his homeland, formed armies, and attacked him. But even after the conquest of Makka, when the pagans were anxiously waiting to see how they would be treated, as a sign of his vast compassion and mercy the Prophet said:

I speak as Joseph spoke to his brothers: There is no reproach for you today (because of your previous acts). God will forgive you also. He is the Most Merciful of the Merciful. Go; you are free.

Allah-lah yang meninggikan langit tanpa tiang (sebagaimana) yang kamu lihat, kemudian Dia bersemayam di atas 'Arasy, dan menundukkan matahari dan bulan. Masing-masing beredar hingga waktu yang ditentukan. Allah mengatur urusan (makhluk-Nya), menjelaskan tanda-tanda (kebesaran-Nya), supaya kamu meyakini pertemuan(mu) dengan Tuhanmu.

Terjemah Qur'an Surat Ar-Ra'd (13) Ayat 2

Tidaklah kamu melihat bahwa Allah mengarak awan, kemudian mengumpulkan antara (bagian-bagian)nya, kemudian menjadikannya bertindih-tindih, maka kelihatanlah olehmu hujan keluar dari celah-celahnya dan Allah (juga) menurunkan (butiran-butiran) es dari langit, (yaitu) dari (gumpalan-gumpalan awan seperti) gunung-gunung, maka ditimpakan-Nya (butiran-butiran) es itu kepada siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya dan dipalingkan-Nya dari siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya. Kilauan kilat awan itu hampir-hampir menghilangkan penglihatan.

Terjemah Qur'an Surat An-Nur (24) Ayat 43

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 19-20

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

19. Or like a rainstorm in the sky, bringing darkness, thunder, and lightning. They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. ButAllah ever encompasses the disbelievers.

20. The lightning almost snatches away theirsight, whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stan.d still. And if Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.

Another Parable of the Hypocrites

Allah says,

Or like a rainstorm in the sky, bringing darkness, thunder, and lightning.

This is another parable which Allah gave about the hypocrites who sometimes know the truth and doubt it at other times. When they suffer from doubt, confusion and disbelief, their hearts are, (Like a Sayyib), meaning, "The rain", as Ibn Mas`ud, Ibn Abbas, and several other Companions have confirmed as well as Abu Al-Aliyah, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ata, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Qatadah, Atiyah Al-Awfi, Ata Al-Khurasani, As-Suddi and Ar-Rabi bin Anas.

Ad-Dahhak said "It is the clouds."

However, the most accepted opinion is that; it means the rain that comes down during, (darkness), meaning, here, the doubts, disbelief and hypocrisy.

*(thunder), that shocks the hearts with fear.

The hypocrites are usually full of fear and anxiety, just as Allah described them, They think that every cry is against them. (63: 4)

and,

They swear by Allah that they are truly of you while they are not of you, but they are a people who are afraid. Should they find refuge, or caves, or a place of concealment, they would turn straightway thereto in a swift rush. (9:56-57).

*(The lightning), is in reference to the light of faith that is sometimes felt in the hearts of the hypocrites.

Allah said,

They thrust their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunderclap for fear of death. But Allah ever encompasses the disbelievers. meaning, their cautiousness does not benefit them because they are bound by Allah's allencompassing will and decision.

Similarly, Allah said, Has the story reached you of two hosts. Of Fir`awn (Pharaoh) and Thamud! Nay! The disbelievers (persisted) in denying. And Allah encompasses them from behind! (85:17-20)

Allah then said,

The lightning almost snatches away their sight, meaning, because the lightning is strong itself, and because their comprehension is weak and does not allow them to embrace the faith.

Also, Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas commented on the Ayah, "The Qur'an mentioned almost all of the secrets of the hypocrites.''

Whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, Ali bin Abi Talhah narrated that Ibn Abbas said, "Whenever the hypocrites acquire a share in the victories of Islam, they are content with this share. Whenever Islam suffers a calamity, they are ready to revert to disbelief.''

Similarly, Allah said,

And among mankind is he who worships Allah on the edge: If good befalls him, he is content with that. (22:11)

Whenever it flashes for them, they walk therein, and when darkness covers them, they stand still, Muhammad bin Ishaq reported that Ibn Abbas said, "They recognize the truth and speak about it. So their speech is upright, but when they revert to disbelief, they again fall into confusion.''

This was also said by Abu Al-Aliyah, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi bin Anas and As-Suddi, who narrated it from the Companions, and it isthe most obvious and most correct view, and Allah knows best.

Consequently, on the Day of Judgment, the believers will be given a light according to the degree of their faith.

Some of them will gain light that illuminates over a distance of several miles, some more, some less. Some people's light will glow sometimes and be extinguished at other times. They will, therefore, walk on the Sirat (the bridge over the Fire) in the light, stopping when it is extinguished. Some people will have no light at all, these are the hypocrites whom Allah described when He said, On the Day when the hypocrites _ men and women _ will say to the believers: "Wait for us!

Let us get something from your light!'' It will be said to them; "Go back to you rear! Then seek a light!'' (57:13)

Allah described the believers, On the Day you shall see the believing men and the believing women _ their light running forward before them and by their right hands. Glad tidings for you this Day! Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise). (57:12)

and,

The Day that Allah will not disgrace the Prophet (Muhammad) and those who believe with him. Their Light will run forward before them and (with their Records _ Books of deeds) in their right hands. They will say: "Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us (and do not put it off till we cross over the Sirat (a slippery bridge over the Hell) safely) and grant us forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do all things.'' (66:8)

Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Abdullah bin Mas`ud commented on, (Their Light will run forward before them),

"They will pass on the Sirat, according to their deeds. The light that some people have will be as big as a mountain, while the light of others will be as big as a date tree. The people who will have the least light are those whose index fingers will sometimes be lit and extinguished at other times.''

Ibn Abi Hatim also reported that Ibn Abbas said, "Every person among the people of Tawhid (Islamic Monotheism) will gain a light on the Day of Resurrection. As for the hypocrite, his light will be extinguished.

When the believers witness the hypocrite's light being extinguished, they will feel anxious. Hence, they will supplicate, (Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us).''

Ad-Dahhak bin Muzahim said,

"On the Day of Resurrection, everyone who has embraced the faith will be given a light. When they arrive at the Sirat, the light of the hypocrites will be extinguished. When the believers see this, they will feel anxious and supplicate, (Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us).''

Types of Believers and Types of Disbelievers

Consequently, there are several types of people.

* There are the believers whom the first four Ayat (2:2-5) in Surah Al-Baqarah describe.

* There are the disbelievers who were described in the next two Ayat.

* And there are two categories of hypocrites: the complete hypocrites who were mentioned in the parable of the fire, and the hesitant hypocrites, whose light of faith is sometimes lit and sometimes extinguished. The parable of the rain was revealed about this category, which is not as evil as the first category.

This is similar to the parables that were given in Surah An-Nur. Like the example of the believer and the faith that Allah put in his heart, compared to a brightly illuminated lamp, just like a rising star. This is the believer, whose heart is built on faith and receiving its support from the divine legislation that was revealed to it, without any impurities or imperfections, as we will come to know, Allah willing.

Allah gave a parable of the disbelievers who think that they have something, while in reality they have nothing; such people are those who have compounded ignorance.

Allah said,

As for those who disbelieved, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to be water, until he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing. (24:39)

Allah then gave the example of ignorant disbelievers, simple in their ignorance.

He said;

Or (the state of a disbeliever) is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed by waves, topped by dark clouds, (layers of) darkness upon darkness: if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light. (24:40)

Therefore, Allah divided the camp of the disbelievers into two groups, advocates and followers.

Allah mentioned these two groups in the beginning of Surah Al-Hajj, And among mankind is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge, and follows every rebellious (disobedient to Allah) Shaytan (devil), (devoid of every kind of good). (22:3)

And among men is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge or guidance, or a Book giving light (from Allah). (22:8)

Furthermore, Allah has divided the group of the believers in the beginning of Surah Al-Waqi`ah and at the end. He also divided them in Surah Al-Insan into two groups,

* the Sabiqun (those who preceded), they are the "near ones" (Muqaribun) and

* Ashab Al-Yamin (the companions of the right), and they are righteous (Abrar).

In summary, these Ayat divide the believers into two categories,

* the near ones and

* righteous.

Also, the disbelievers are of two types,

* advocates and

* followers.

In addition, the hypocrites are divided into two types,

* pure hypocrites and

* those who have some hypocrisy in them.

The Two Sahihs record that Abdullah bin Amr said that the Prophet said,

Whoever has the following three (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite, and whoever has one of the following three characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy, unless and until he gives it up.

* Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

* Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.

* Whenever he is entrusted, he breaches the trust.

Hence, man might have both a part of faith and a part of hypocrisy, whether in deed, as this Hadith stipulates, or in the creed, as the Ayah (2:20) stipulates.

Types of Hearts

Imam Ahmad recorded Abu Sa`id saying that the Messenger of Allah said,

The hearts are four (types):

* polished as shiny as the radiating lamp,

* a sealed heart with a knot tied around its seal,

* a heart that is turned upside down and

* a wrapped heart.

As for the polished heart, it is the heart of the believer and the lamp is the light of faith.

The sealed heart is the heart of the disbeliever. The heart that is turned upside down is the heart of the pure hypocrite, because he had knowledge but denied it.

As for the wrapped heart, it is a heart that contains belief and hypocrisy.

The example of faith in this heart, is the example of the herb that is sustained by pure water.

The example of hypocrisy in it, is the example of an ulcer that thrives on puss and blood. Whichever of the two substances has the upper hand, it will have the upper hand on that heart.

This Hadith has a Jayid Hasan (good) chain of narration.

Allah said,

And if Allah willed, He would have taken away their hearing and their sight. Certainly, Allah has power over all things.

Muhammad bin Ishaq reported that Ibn Abbas commented on Allah's statement, (And if Allah willed, He would have taken away their hearing and their sight),

"Because they abandoned the truth after they had knowledge in it.''

Certainly, Allah has power over all things.

Ibn Abbas said,

"Allah is able to punish or pardon His servants as He wills.''

Ibn Jarir commented,

"Allah only described Himself with the ability to do everything in this Ayah as a warning to the hypocrites of His control over everything, and to inform them that His ability completely encompasses them and that He is able to take away their hearing and sight.''

Ibn Jarir and several other scholars of Tafsir stated that; these two parables are about the same kind of hypocrite. So the `or' mentioned in, (Or like a rainstorm from the sky) means `and', just as the Ayah, (And obey neither a sinner or a disbeliever among them).

Therefore, `or' in the Ayah includes a choice of using either example for the hypocrites. Also, Al-Qurtubi said that `or' means, "To show compatibility of the two choices, just as when one says, `Sit with Al-Hasan or Ibn Sirin.'

According to the view of Az-Zamakhshari, `so it means each of these persons is the same as the other, so you may sit with either one of them.'

The meaning of `or' thus becomes `either.' Allah gave these two examples of the hypocrites, because they both perfectly describe them.''

I (Ibn Kathir) say, these descriptions are related to the type of hypocrite, because there is a difference between them as we stated.

For instance, Allah mentioned these types in Surah Bara’h when He repeated the statement, "And among them'' three times, describing their types, characteristics, statements and deeds. So the two examples mentioned here describe two types of hypocrites whose characteristics are similar.

For instance, Allah gave two examples in Surah An-Nur, one for the advocates of disbelief and one for the followers of disbelief, He said,

(As for those who disbelieved, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert) (24:39), until, (Or (the state of a disbeliever) is like the darkness in a vast deep sea), (24:40).

The first example is of the advocates of disbelief who have complex ignorance, while the second is about the followers who have simple ignorance.

Allah knows best.

Jumu'ah Sohbet: 24 November 2023

Alhamdulillah (Divine gratitude) for yet another providential week of spiritual learning, reinforcing our Tariqa's fervor for continued learning. Again, eternal gratitude for my flood gates being opened to spiritual sustenance when I am least able to be distracted by the whims of my nafs (lower-self / ego)!

And at a time of world uncertainty that faces an ominous threat of a world war. We face it drawing on the Nur (Allah's all-penetrating light) both externally and internally! Bismillah ...

#1. Our Jumu'ah congregational Sohbet (spiritual conversation) was kicked off on a somber note by our heartsmith Shaykh Nishaat. He reflected on how it's been another week of witnessing tragedy, which is hurtful because we cannot do anything about it. We see so much wrong with humanity, but it truly begins with ourselves he ironically reminds us!

When we read all the scriptures; Jewish, Christian, and Muslim as well. Allah reminds us that all truth is from Him. We are reminded in the Qur'an that we're not placed a burden that is greater than we can handle. Furthermore, Allah reminds us that He will not cause problems, troubles, or harm for us, but of course, we will be tried. When we look at what is around us, why is there so much wrong, violence and fear? If Allah is saying that He is not going to do it, how and why is it happening? The scriptures show us what is right and true, but for some reason, so much bad continues in this world. So, we should know what we are following! If we are not following truth, then what are we following?

For all of our major religions, it is a reflection of us as human beings of where we are. We choose what is wrong more easily and readily than what is right! We must focus on what is right and what is true, because Allah says in the Qur’an that, "Speak the truth, even if it is against yourself!" When we look at our circumstances, we have to ask what does Allah want from us? That's the key! Most powerfully, the heartsmith was inspired to reflect,

What we perceive as pain suffered by people, it is actually an acceptance of the hereafter as our true reality. They have been made to fast track their consciousness of our collective reality of the afterlife!

#2. What I find powerful about Sufism is its ability to reflect on both the macro-world by comparing it to our micro-one! In our own lives, we see that when we are in trouble; the first thing that we do is run to Allah and plead for help. However, not long after that, we forget, and we get back into the cycle where the problem emerged from, which is our nafs (lower-self / ego)! We choose ignorance over truth all the time, which Allah is not choosing and willing for us. We are simply forgetting the help that Allah gave us.

When we are shown what is right, we accept it for a little while, but we forget and we go back to our old ways of our likes and what we are used to, which is ourselves! We are then back to the place that we were in, the ocean that we were drowning in! After being saved, we dry ourselves, and we walk back into drowning again, and then we blame God! Just as we watched Pharaoh do with Musa AS, on the day that we joined our congregational Zikr, Subhana'Allah!:

youtube

We have to focus on the truth, but how do we do that? By getting our nafs out of the way! That's why our Prophet PBUH said, "If you know yourself, you will know your Lord!" We should be able to recognise our nafs from Allah! Following nafs gets us into trouble, whereas following Allah gets us out of it. However, we see in our micro-world and the macro-scale where we see the nafs of the nation! We see lies and greed, where we willingly choose the wrong, which is promoted as right. However, it is only right for a certain group of people, for a certain moment in their lives. At another time, what was right becomes wrong - it just goes like that flip flop, and that is for all of us, really!

#3. Our Murshida Shaykha Muzeyyen then added more balm to our hurting souls. She said that she had a spiritual insight from our Pirs. The first message is that especially in these difficult days, we have to be led by light, compassion, and sound reason. The second message is that all Tariqa members have to stay united in our path in our connection and devotion to Allah. We shouldn't fracture because of politics or anything else. We are here for Allah’s sake, and we will continue on this path.

Hazrat Abdul Qadir Geylani reminded her to remind us about possessions. As Sufis, we are not for being poor or rich but to do what Allah wants from us! Just because Allah is giving something to you, it doesn't mean that you don't have to work for it. Our Sufi path is one of these things where we wished for something, and Allah granted it, but it will still take work! Nothing is bestowed upon us because even our Prophet PBUH had to earn his prophethood! Him as all the Prophets were created this way. Just as your Ammu has to fly with her newly acquired spiritual wings!

Our path is through connection and devotion to Allah and why we are in a Tariqa is to receive our education with continued support so that we continue to do what Allah is pleased with! Anne poetically relayed a metaphor saying, "... While we're in the wind, it is difficult to turn to Allah. We have to be like the birds in dealing with the wind and take flight to Allah when worldly aspects hurt us. We must turn and pray to Allah for love, justice, healing, and peace. We can't do anything else. Why sit in the corner and dwell in worry and anger when we can represent Allah as His khalifa. We must connect, devote, and represent Allah. We must turn to Allah and pray for the wrongdoers, for their hearts to be changed. Allah says that unless a community changes what is in their hearts, Allah will not change their situation."

Our brains also stop us from having taqwa (God-consciousness), where it can lead us to or away from Allah. This is where all our decision-making settles. We don't know how everything will unfold and what must happen in Allah's world. We are not the decision makers for worldly affairs. We are only its witnesses, and the decision is clear where we can take a decision to go towards or further away from Allah. Or we can stay in the same place where we are vacillating there. Insha'Allah, we will always be ones to draw closer to Allah. Ameen, to our beloved Anne's dua'a!

#4. She then reflected that sometimes she hears from us that we feel stuck in our paths and in our Zikr. If we are having a hard time with our Zikr, we must go to our Shaykh, Khalifa, or Rehber. What do we need to do when we get stuck? We must turn to Allah and ask for His help. "Oh Allah, I am really stuck, and I can't get over this anger or something that is blocking me. Please help me so that I can continue to walk closer to You." We have support from our teachers in the seen and unseen, and in our hearts.

Some other tools that she named were, reading the Qur'an daily, in our own language so that we understand it. This is not just for our brains but the energy of the Qur'an nurtures our relationship with Allah by nourishing our hearts. Our hands touch Allah's words, and our other senses are feeling them, which will help to strengthen our connection. Also, our Pirs, especially Hazrat Abdul Qadir Geylani, reminded us of the care of the physical body. Apparently, some of us are not sleeping enough, and we must remember that less sleep means less control of our nafs! If it is under our control, we must do everything to control that we sleep well. Hazrat Abdul Qadir Geylani says that we need two wings in the inner and outer to fly! Anne put a magnifying glass onto one of my weaknesses, that of suffering erratic sleep patterns that we are trying to repair. The fact that she echoed a booming haq (truth) by showing its connection to nafs makes me determined to keep trying to fix it!

#5. This was the reminder that if we devote ourselves to learning Allah, how synchronous our willful surrender becomes. In the following week's Qur'an Contemplation session conducted by Khalifa Rubina herself, we both remarked how fortuitous it was that we came by this verse of the Qur'an. The Prophet’s PBUH Prayer of Light was and is the antidote to Shaytaan's evil vow of human infiltration from all corners.

The Prophet’s PBUH Prayer of Light

O Allah, place light in my heart, light on my tongue, light in my ears, and light in my sight.

Place light above me, light below me, light on my right, light on my left, light before me, and light behind me.

Place light in my soul. Magnify and amplify light for me. Make light for me and make me light. O Allah, grant me light and place light in my nerves, in my body, in my blood, in my hair, and in my skin.

O Allah, make for me a light in my grave and a light in my bones. Increase me in light, increase me in light, increase me in light.

Ameen.

Subhana'Allah and Shukran Ya Allah, that our momentary, intentional surrender which Rosieçim spoke about is always rewarded! How incredible is Allah for transcending time and completing a logical quest by shedding light itself on the solution first, before the darkness of the problem is contextualised.

There were even more spiritual insights from our Learning Circle where we began unpacking the layers of nafs in man. Leaving me embarrassed for how there is a spiritual, social science describing my "limitedness" to describe it kindly. Take that Nafs al-Lawwama!

Also, the sense of humour kept by all; our beloved Shaykh Taner, Shaykh Nishaat, and even your Rehbir Abbu now makes complete sense! Allah bless them all for choosing to serve and love us in spite of ourselves 😳

Barangkali ia telah bertaubat

Diatas segala kesalahan dimasa lalunya. Baik itu kesalahan yang ia lakukan pada dirinya sendiri, maupun kepadamu kala itu. Kerana hampir setiap insan pernah melakukan kesalahan berilah udzur sepenuh Rasulullahu shalallahu 'alaihi wasallam perintahkan.

Ja’far bin Muhammad rahimahullah berkata, “Apabila sampai kepadamu dari saudaramu sesuatu yang kamu ingkari, maka berilah ia sebuah udzur sampai 70 udzur. Bila kamu tidak mendapatkan udzur, maka katakanlah, “Barangkali ia mempunyai udzur yang aku tidak ketahui.” (HR Al Baihaqi dalam Syu’abul Iman no 8344).

Barangkali ia telah bertaubat, dan sedang dalam penyesalan paling dalam saat ini. Atas segala perlakuan yang mungkin telah banyak merugikan dirimu, bahkan jelas dirinya sendiri. Ia kini mungkin sedang tertatih untuk terus berproses menjadi baik. Diantara banyak nya penyesalan dan tentunya hidayah Allah 'Azza WA Jalla.

Sedangkan kita? Masih sibuk membicarakan setiap kesalahan dan tak mau memaafkannya, kita masih berkubang dalam balutan dendam dan dosa disaat misal mengghibahi dengan orang lain setiap kesalahan masa lalunya.

Barangkali ia sudah bertaubat, dan kini ada doa-doa baik yang ia lambungkan untukmu dan orang lain yang mungkin pernah disakiti nya. Tidak kah kita menarik garis udzur yang lebih luas lagi? Karena barangkali ia memang sudah benar-benar bertaubat, tetapi diri kita masih sibuk dengan hati yang selalu merasa sesak?

Mengingat sebuah kisah sahabat Rasulullahu shalallahu 'alaihi wasallam yakni Abu Bakr ash-shidiq Radiallahu 'anhu, ia pernah bersumpah untuk tidak memaafkan dan berhenti menafkahi sahabat Misthah bin Utsatsah Radiallahu 'anhu, dikala ia pernah melakukan ketergelinciran ikut serta menyebarkan fitnah tentang Istri nabi Aisyah Radialallahu 'anha yang mana putri Abu Bakr Ash-shidiq sendiri.

Atas kejadian tersebut hingga turunlah ayat Al-qur'an dalam surah An-nur ayat 22, Allah Ta'ala berfirman :

"Dan janganlah orang-orang yang mempunyai kelebihan dan kelapangan di antara kamu bersumpah bahwa mereka (tidak) akan memberi (bantuan) kepada kaum kerabat(nya), orang-orang yang miskin, dan orang-orang yang berhijrah pada jalan Allah, dan hendaklah mereka memaafkan dan berlapang dada. Apakah kamu tidak ingin bahwa Allah mengampunimu? Dan Allah adalah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.(Qs.An-Nur 24:22)

Kemudian Abu Bakr Ash-shidiq Radiallahu 'anhu menarik ucapannya, dan memohon Ampun kepada Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala.

Dari hal tersebut tidak kah kita diberikan sebuah gambaran tentang 'ketergelinciran' adalah sikap yang bisa terjadi pada siapa saja, sekalipun para sahabat? Padahal jika dibanding kita, Para sahabat adalah orang yang sangat faqih dan sebegitu mulia sifat-sifat mereka kerana kedekatan nya dengan Rasulullahu shalallahu 'alaihi wasallam, manusia yang sebaik-baiknya suri tauladan pemilik akhlak yang begitu mulia. Namun ibrah(pelajaran) yang bisa kita petik ketika 'Allah memberikan gambaran bahwa tidak ada manusia yang luput dari kesalahan dan ketergelinciran, Allah Subhanahu wata'ala selalu memerintahkan kita untuk berlapang dada' dan bisa selalu memaafkan segala kesalahan yang setiap orang lain perbuat. Sesungguhnya Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala ialah sang MAHA Pengampun.

Barangkali ia sudah bertaubat, mari juga untuk kita mengikuti bertaubat kepada Allah Subhanahu wata'ala. Membenahi segala kekurangan diri dan sesak di dada, semoga Allah subhanahu wata'ala selalu melapangkan hati dan meluaskan hidayah kepada kita semua.

-Huza Ummu Juwairiyah / IdulAdha1442H
