Cinta

Cinta .... Love - is the English translation while Mahabbah - is the Arabic translation. Don't worry, I'm not going to start a language class here, but, that's just for the introduction.

For love, people are willing to do anything. For love, people are willing to sacrifice. Levels of sacrifices depends on the level of your love. But again, the sacrifices have to be something that is lawful not sinful, and tolerable. Agree with me? You must be!!! But there are times when you do something not out love but because YOU HAVE TO. When you do it because 'you have to', you'll not find the sweetness in it but instead, you're dragging your physical and soul into fulfilling it. Simple analogy, do you like your occupation now? If you do, you'll wake up in the morning eager to go to the office, planning your day. If you hate it, you'll drag yourself into the washroom, get ready to the office lazily, and will not be bothered even if you're late. Enough the blabbing ... my main issue here is MAHABBAH ILALLAH.

All of us when asked if they Love Allah, will automatically raise their hand. I tried this with my two younger kids. Hakim, especially, proudly said that he loves Allah, Alhamdulillah. But, ....... how are you willing to sacrifice yourself towards the creator??????? Sacrifice is not just about slaughtering animals during Eidul-Adha, sacrifice also means doing things that our loved ones wants us to do.

Based on the book 'Penenang Jiwa' that I am still reading, in the al-Quran al Karim (Al-Imran: 31-32), Ertinya:

"Katakanlah: Jika kami mengasihi Allah, ikutlah aku, nescaya Allah akan mengasihi kamu dan mengampuni dosamu. Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.
Katakanlah: Taatilah Allah dan Rasulnya. Jika kamu berpaling, maka sesungguhnya Allah tidak menyukai orang-orang kafir."

"Say: If you do love Allah, follow me. Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Say; Obey Allah and His Apostle. But if they turn back, Allah loves not those who reject faith."


The verses clearly said that if you love Allah, follow Allah His instruction, and He will forgive Us. Also if you love Allah, you must Love RasulAllah as well.

From the book (page 35.),

Tanda mencintai Allah adalah:
1. Mengikuti perintah-perintahNya
2. Mendahulukan taat kepadaNya
3. Mencari redhaNya

Barangsiapa mengaku cinta syurga, namun tidak taat, jelas dia bohong.
Siapa mengaku cinta Nabi SAW, namun tidak menyukai ulama dan fuqara, maka pengakuannya tidak benar.
Barangsiapa mengaku takutkan neraka tetapi tidak meninggalkan maksiat, tanda dia berdusta.
Barangsiapa mengaku cintakan Allah tetapi mengeluh apabila ditimpa bala, maka pengakuannya berbohong.

Syai'r Rabiah:
Engkau derhaka
Tapi mengaku cinta kepadaNya
Inilah keanehan zamanku.

Jika benar engkau cinta
Tentulah mentaatiNya.
Selalu.
kerna Pencinta akan taat pada kekasihnya!

Cintakan Rasullallah, maka perbanyakkan selawat ke atasnya setiap hari.

Sounds simple isn'it. Love Allah, follow Him. Love Allah, Love Rasulallah SAW. Love Rasulallah, recite the selawat as often as you can.

Semoga ilmu yang sedikit menjadi amalan yang berpanjangan ....Amin.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
