Hadith on 19 August 2010

I have been missing two consecutive Fajr Jemaah. Considering it to be in the month of Ramadhan, it was a poor statistic. A nap after "sahur" was a really really bad idea. With only two hours slept before the "sahur", the nap seems not to be a nap anymore. Anyway, I will try to keep up posting the hadiths even if I am not there during the session. Here are the hadiths for the last three session.

5th day hadith means "seeking of knowledge is a must for every muslim".

1. This is a very popular hadith that have been applied to us when it comes to learning. Another popular hadith that always joined together with this one is "seek knowledge even to China".
2. Some scholar said that the compulsory knowledge that should be seek by the muslim is the knowledge related to "fardhu ain". While the other category of knowledge which is available to be seek is the "fardhu kifayah".
3. The "fardhu ain" knowledge involves the matters which is related to the "akhirah" such as "fiqh". Every single muslim must have this kind of knowledge to ensure that he will be able to make his decision base on the principles of Islam and to live an Islamic way of life.
4. The "fardhu kifayah" is another category of knowledge that most of us called it as "ilmu dunia". This category of knowledge we do not need to have all of that available. To be a master in one particular field of this knowledge will give us the responsibility to make the decision for our community in the matters related to our expertise. For example, the expertise in law will be the judge for his community, the expertise in building construction will be the one who make decision on building construction plan and so on.
5. So as the "fardhu ain" is a must for everyone of us, we must try to put in our best effort in seeking it. This can be done by many means; being close to "ulama", attending a "taqlim" at our nearest musolla and a lot of other ways.
6.  Let us pray for Allah to help us in obtaining such a knowledge and with the knowledge we will capable of improving our faith and the quality of our "ibadah", insyaAllah...     

6th day hadith means "to be shy is a part of the faith"

1. There are lots of things that could possibly be implemented by this hadith and one of the obvious things is when it come to "aurat". As you can see today, the matter of "aurat" have been taken too easy among the muslim. With the woman and man to be appear half naked for almost every editions of magazines, feels of shame have been slowly degraded from us. As to feel shy is part of our faith, degraded it means degraded our faith. 
2. There are lots of other things that can be said of the hadith, and it will go on unstopped. Among all these the most important is for a us to be shy to our creator, Allah s.w.t. We should be shy to Allah because it was Him who give us our life to begin with.
3. We should be shy when we are using our life not accordingly to Allah guidance, yet Allah has not taken it from us in instant.
4. We should be shy when we are not spending our money wisely base on the guidance of Allah, yet Allah has not stop us from having it.
5. We should be shy when we were to talk something bad because even for our own mouth and tongue we will never be able to move it without the permission from Allah.
6. Be shy to our Creator, Allah and insyaAllah we will become a "mutaqqin".
