Hadith 31 August 2010

Long, long, long time ago somebody have made a promise that he think he capable to fulfill. Apparently he has been overestimating himself while doing so. Forgive that man, because he also a human who try to bring out the best out of himself.

The hadith of today was "assodoqatulburhan" which means "a charity is a prove".

1. In this hadith, Rasulullah s.a.w try to tell us that a charity is a prove of someone faith.
2. The charity here should not only be referred to money. Although money could be an easy example to make people understand the meaning of charity, the scope of charity is as starting from money to every single "nikmat" that Allah have gave to us; food, ideas, strength, advices etc.
3. For us to be able to give or share the "nikmat" gifted to us with the others is the prove of our faith. The more you give the stronger your faith is.
4. From now on we could take this as an indication of our faith. Try to self-asses the charity done by us so that we can have an idea on the state of our own faith.
5. May Allah give us the self-consciousness on our faith, insyaAllah.

Today hadith is a little bit long as compared to the previous one. It means "you will be together with whom you love".

1. This hadith explain that we will be with whom we love in our live in the hereafter.

While I am alive in this world I can get close to you, meeting you at the "masjid", talk to you and I am afraid that I will miss all that in the afterlife".
3. Rasullulah kept silent until Allah reveal Surah An-Nisa', versus 69; "Those who obey Allah and the Messenger belong with those blessed by Allah; the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the righteous. These are the best company".
4. With this versus it was clearly stated that even if ourselves are not to be mentioned in the Islamic history we can still belong together with these great figures in Islam in the afterlife.

Hadith on 14 August 2010

It has been four days since the 1st Ramadhan and I should now be able to post at least four post on the daily shared hadith by the Imam after the Fajr prayer. Up until now only one is available and today I will try to recover all of them in one post. To be honest I miss the 3rd day Fajr Jamaah and I just learn the hadith from other people.

2nd day hadith was "assaumuljunna" which means "fasting is a shield"

1. As we are fasting, we should remind ourselves that we are now creating a shield around us. A shield that will protect us from syaitan and bad deeds.
2. In another hadith it was said that "there are people who are fasting but only to get hungry and thirst". It is important that we know that fasting is not just not to eat and drink, it should also an ibadah that should enhance our iman. To do so we must protect our fasting from all the possible action that could harm our fasting.
3. Just like in the making of a shield. Perfect production of a shield will produce best shield and bad production of a shield cloud only bring harm to those who used it.
4. May Allah help us in producing our shield in this month of "barakah", insyaAllah

3rd day hadith was "la tagh'dab" which means "don't be angry"

1. It is known that anger is a cause of many other bad things; more like a door that will lead the way to another bad deeds.
2. Because of anger we could possibly breach our "silaturahim". Because of anger a husband and wife will be at at verge of divorce. Because of anger someone could possibly kill other to satisfy his anger.
3. These are examples of things that could be driven by our anger. It is important for us to watch out our own anger to prevent us from doing something that we will be regretting in the future.
4. A hadith from Rasulullah s.a.w which means "The strength of a man is not measured by who is winning in a physical fight but the truly strong man is the one who can fight his own anger".
5. Let us try not to get angry and to do so we should be forgiving others for their mistakes, insyaAllah.

4th day hadith was "a muslim is a brother to the other  muslim". Forgive me because I truly forgot the Arabic sentence of this.

1. This is a very important hadith that we should be sharing with the others. More importantly, share this hadith with the kids and let them grow up with the feeling of ukhuwah among them.
2. In today's world we have been categorized in so many things. First our nationality, then our languages, then our races, then our culture and the list goes on and on.
3. We have to amid that these categorization has lead us to be more or less selfish. We will only be concern with the issues that affect our own category. For example on the issue of Palestine, Malaysian people has noticeably react to the issue when a ship with Malaysian citizen has been seize. And when these hostages have been released the issue of Palestine fading away from the mind of Malaysians (this is my own example).
4. This is one of the strength that we Muslim have lost; the brotherhood of Islam. To be strong is to be united and there is only one thing that can't be made into two; Allah our God.
5. Let us try to nurture the Islamic brotherhood within ourselves so that once again the world will see the true strength of Islam, insyaAllah.  

Hadith on 11 August 2010

Just coming back from the "musolla" a.k.a surau for Fajr. Starting from yesterday we have invited Imam from Nagoya to our musolla and he is expected to be with us through the Ramadhan, insyaAllah. We have this very short session of Taqlim after Fajr prayer. He decided to share a short hadith with all of us in this Taqlim.

1. He mentions that he will be sharing a short hadith and "short" here means that it will be a part of a long hadith. It is obviously because it will be easier to be memorize and our aim is to have a 30 hadith memorized at the end of Ramadhan.
2. The first hadith is "wama a'malu bil niat". Meaning that "every action start with an intention". A very short hadith that have a very wide meanings. If we were to go further down in this particular hadith, Rasulullah s.a.w has also said that we will get from our action base on what we have intended to.
3. If we are doing something for the sake of the money, we will get the money. And if we are doing something with an intention of getting a rewards from Allah, then we will get the rewards from Allah. This is how simple Allah have set our life as a human.
4. There is a story on the Day of Judgment. A group of rich people have been called to face Allah. This group of people have gave in lots of their properties for charity and they have been asked by Allah "Why are you doing this (gaving the charity)?". And these people answered, "We are doing this for the sake of You, Allah the Almighty". Allah s.w.t replied, "No, you are doing this to show people how rich you are", and Allah not giving them any rewards from their actions as they already known in their living life as a rich people just like what they intended to in the first place.
5. It is a very important for us to know our pure intention before taking an action. By doing so we will avoiding ourselves doing something useless or harmful. Let us always pray to Allah that He will always remind us to have a good intention and let us constantly refresh our intention so that we will get the precious rewards from Allah in the hereafter.
