Hadith of the Week - Intercession By The Quran

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) saying, “Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.” [Sahih Muslim]

This hadith tells us one of the many benefits of reciting the Quran and acting upon it. The Day of Judgement will be extremely hot for sinners and 50,000 years long. The fear that will grip people will be so severe that it will produce in them a drunk like condition. People will be desperate for an intercessor, to save them from the Fire of Hell.

On that Day, none will intercede except whom Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) grants permission to, and Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) will allow the Quran to do so. The Quran will be endowed with the power of speech and it will request Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) to forgive the sins of its reciters who acted upon its teachings. Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) will accept the request of the Quran, as signified in other ahadith.

Another hadith states: “The Quran and the people who applied it, will be brought on the Day of Resurrection preceded with Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-e-Imran arguing on behalf of those who applied them.” [Sahih Muslim] Let’s increase our chances of being saved from the Fire of Hell, by reciting the Quran and applying its teachings to our lives.

Hadith of the Week - Last Day Close When Unfit Rule

Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reported: “Once the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) was speaking to us when a bedouin came and asked him, ‘When will the Last Day be?’ When the Messenger of Allah concluded his speech he asked, ‘Where is the one who inquired about the Last Day?’ The man replied: ‘Here I am.’ The Messenger of Allah replied, ‘When the practice of honouring a trust is lost, expect the Last Day.’ The bedouin asked: ‘How could it be lost?’ The Prophet replied, ‘When the government is entrusted to undeserving people, then wait for the Last Day.’” [Sahih Bukhari]

Thus we are told that a sign of the nearness of the Day of Judgement is that unworthy people will become leaders. The affairs of the world will be in the hands of unfit and undeserving people. Sinners and wicked people will become rulers. Pulpits will be occupied by the greedy and ignorant, people who are devoid of piety and abstinence.

Since this is the current state of affairs, we should be reminded of the end of times and sincerely do our best to correct ourselves. Actually, regardless of when the Day of Judgement comes, a person’s own judgement will begin with his/her death and this could happen any second for anybody. Death does not come with a warning.

Hadith of the Week - Charity Not To Rich Or Healthy

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "It is not permissible to give charity to a rich man (or one who is independent of means) or to one who is strong and healthy." [Sunan An-Nasai - Sahih]

'Strong' means the one who is capable of earning his livelihood. And ‘healthy’ means the one whose hands and feet are wholesome and not handicapped, and he is not incapacitated by some illness. If such a person is poor despite his labour or is unable to find employment, then he will be entitled to receive Zakah or Sadaqah.

Hadith of the Week - The Best Insurance

The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said in the hadith of Ibn Abbas, “If you take care of the commands of Allah, Allah will take care of you (and you will find Allah with you).”

How does that happen? Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali explains the hadith:

1. If you take care of Allah's commands and prohibitions, Allah will take care of you by keeping you away from vain desires and doubts in Imaan (Belief);
2. If you take care of the commands of Allah when you are young, Allah will take care of you in your old age;
3. If you take care of the commands of Allah, Allah will take care of your children.

As an example of the last point Ibn Rajab gave the story of Musa and al-Khidr. Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) says in the Quran, “Then they both (Musa and al-Khidr) proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight. (Musa) said: ‘If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!’” [18:77] Then Al-Khidr explains why he fixed the wall for free in a town whose people were so mean and inhospitable, “And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience.” [Al-Quran 18:82]

From this story we learn that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) took care of the orphans because their father was righteous! These orphans were not old enough to be considered righteous or not, but the reason that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) took care of their treasure was because their father had been a righteous man. Since the father had passed away, Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) protected the man’s children by sending al-Khidr all the way just to fix that wall. So if you are righteous, not only will Allah take care of your children while you are alive, but He will take care of them after you die too. What’s better than that? Therefore, we need to take the commands and prohibitions of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) seriously.

Hadith of the Week - Nationalism

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He is not one of us who calls for asabiyyah, (tribalism/nationalism) or who fights for asabiyyah, or who dies for asabiyyah.” [Abu Dawud]

On one occasion during the time of the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam), a party of Jews conspired to bring about disunity in the ranks of the Muslims after seeing the Aus and Khazraj harmonious with each other within Islam. A youth from among them was sent to incite remembrance of the battle of Bu'ath, where the Aus had been victorious over the Khazraj. He recited poetry to stir their feelings, remind them of their past differences, and bring about division between them. As a result there was a call to arms. When the news reached the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) he said, "O Muslims, remember Allah, remember Allah. Will you act as pagans while I am present among you, after Allah has guided you to Islam, and honoured you thereby and made a clean break with paganism; delivered you thereby from disbelief; and made you friends thereby?" When they heard this they wept and embraced each other. [The Roots of Nationalism In The Muslim World]

Islam is a religion that abhors racism, ethnicism, tribalism, and its newer version, nationalism. Differences of language, colour, cuisine and accent were meant to add flavour to life, not to be used to ridicule or fight each other. The past couple of centuries have seen wars between different ethnic groups on a scale unprecedented before. The rise of nationalism has resulted in bitter conflict between groups that had lived for centuries in harmony. It has set the world on fire and resulted in pandaemonium.

While Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has prohibited nationalism, Muslims are killing one another and aiding non-Muslims to kill their brothers and sisters in Islam, in the name of saving their own "country". This is despite the fact that such "countries" have no legitimacy in Allah's eyes for the reasons that 1) in none of these is Allah's law held wholly superior to man made law, and 2) there is only one country to which all Muslims belong, i.e. Dar-ul-Islam. Muslims, for thirteen centuries were one bloc, under one leadership, in the name of Allah (subhana wa ta'ala). When you cut an elephant into 100 pieces you don't get one hundred elephants, instead you get a bloody mess. Incited against each other using nationalism, this is what the Muslim Ummah has become.

New semester October 2009

New semester has started and we got an arab lecturer teaching us this time round. His name is Dr Abdoun Osman and he is from Sudan.

This semester will be much focused on communication skill as the level implies (kelas komunikasi tahap 1) and so far the first two classes has been good. The conversation/text can be considered to be easy to follow. We have to read and understand the text and then each one of us will have to memorize and read/act out the text. It was kinda fun although it is a little bit hard on the memorizing part but with a little determination, it can be done. Hopefully all the students have the istiqamah to stay on until the end of the semester. On the first class, we have around 15 students but the number increases in the second class to around 25 students.

Well, we see how the thing goes from now on. Salam.

Hadith of the Week - Are You Lucky?

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “How lucky is that man who adopts humbleness without having scarcity, who considers himself inferior without having to beg for anything, who spends his own earned money in the right causes without disobeying Allah, who is kind to those having little means, and
who remains in the company of learned men.” [Tibrani]

In this hadith we are told who an enviable person is:

1.    A person who is humble despite having that which makes people proud.
2.    A person who earns and spends in the path of Allah.
3.    A person who is kind to those less privileged.
4.    A person who benefits from the companionship of the learned.

Having wealth does not make one lucky; but having earned it honestly, by one's own hands and, moreover, having spent it on those things which earn Allah's pleasure, while obedient to Allah (subhana wa ta'ala), are what entitles one to be counted among the lucky. Wealth that is accompanied by arrogance and ignorance (ignorance of what will earn Allah's pleasure), is extremely unlucky.

Can you count yourself lucky?

Hadith of the Week - Greetings

A man asked the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam), "What Islamic traits are the best?" The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, "Feed the people, and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know." [Bukhari]

One of the minor signs of the Day of Judgement is that people will only give salaam to the people that they know. [Ahmad] Nowadays we see that salaam is not considered the right of every Muslim. It used to be that salaam was given to any Muslim, whether one knew them or not. In fact, if you offer salaams to strangers today they might look at you funny, trying to figure out if they know you. Nevertheless, let us make an effort to revive this sunnah for the love of the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and as a practice of one of the best traits of Islam.

Hadith of the Week - How do you smell?

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wasallam) said: "The example of a good companion and a bad one is the bearer of musk and the worker on the fires. A bearer of musk would give you some, you might buy some from him, or you might enjoy the fragrance of his musk. The worker on the fires, on the other hand, might spoil your clothes with sparks from his bellows, or you get a bad smell from him." [Sahih Bukhari]

Who are the top 5 people you hang out with? List them. Now look at their qualities and you'll notice that you are a product of the sum of them. Do they have the outstanding qualities that you seek? If not, then it's time to find some bearers of musk that you can truly smell great from.

Hadith of the Week - Speaking During the Friday Khutbah

The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "When the imam is giving the khutbah on Friday, and you tell your companion 'Listen,' you have made an impertinent remark." [Sahih Bukhari]

“It is offensive to speak during the sermon on Friday, whether it be to say "Subhan Allah," the Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or to command the right or forbid the wrong. The reason for this prohibition is that listening to the Friday prayer sermon is obligatory, as it takes the place of two of the rakahs of the noon prayer, so things offensive during the prayer are offensive while listening to the sermon.” [Umdat us Salik/ Reliance of the Traveller, by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri]

Semester break IFLA Arabic Class

Last night all the test results were given out as well as the transcript. Oh well, Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) I passed the test (of course I won't tell the marks). So, we'll be heading for a semester break and the class will resume on 26.10 week. IFLA has come up with a new level i.e. level 4, which suppose to cover the other half of the level 3 syllabus but we are given the option either to continue to level 4 or go on to Communication Arabic (Bahasa Arab Komunikasi). Previously, there were supposed to be only 3 levels before going into Communication Arabic (CB). There was unrest among the students as there were only told last night about it. Oh well, personally I don't mind going through another level as I'm taking this class for the sake of knowledge and self improvement. But it is not fair for those who have been promised that they only have to go through 3 levels before going into CB. At the end, they are allowed to go straight to CB as long as they passed level 3. Ok, case closed.

Hadith of the Week - Houses on Bridges?

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler.” [Bukhari]

The above narration clearly indicates that we are in this world for a purpose and not for entertainment. We are like travelers during this life on earth. A traveler has a final destination that he/she is eager to reach. They need to use the time of their stop-over wisely, so as not to miss their connecting flight.

We should remember that earth is not our final destination. We have been encouraged to utilize the blessings Allah has put here for our use, yet we are told not to lose sight of the temporary nature of this life, and to use it to make preparations for the next life. Our souls are on a journey. Remembering death defeats joy. It kills our tastebuds for the pleasures of this life. But it is the only wise thing to do, in our own interest.

Concerning the life of this world Hazrat Esa (alaihis salaam) said, "This world is like a bridge, cross it and do not build on it."  This life is a bridge from our previous existence as soul to our next existence in the grave, then on the Day of Judgement, then either in The Garden or (Allah Forbid) The Fire. Houses are built on land, connected by bridges where the need arises. The most appropriate place to build, the focus of our attention, should be the land that we will set foot on once we cross the bridge that is our earthly existence. Where are you focused on building? On land, or on a delicate bridge that can collapse anytime with your death?

Last night was the last class before the final exam for the IFLA Level 3 Arabic program. The exam will be on Monday, a day after my 3 days outstation trip.
