Assalamualaikum

Assalamualaikum ....

It's not a mistake, but yes, it's Assalamualaikum as the title.

As-Salam means 'salamah', a good wish to the person whom we addressed the salam for. As-Salam is a word uttered by those in jannah, showing that As-Salam is a beautiful word uttered by beautiful people.

Rasulalllah SAW will always try to be the first who utters the Salam for sahabah (sahabah are those who lives and the follower of Muhammad SAW). And if sahabah was the one who uttered it first, Rasulallah SAW will answer it longer. For example:

The wish: Salam.

The Answer: Salam alaikum

The wish: Salam alaikum.

The answer: Assalamualaikum warahmatullah

The wish: Assalamualaikum warahmatullah

The answer: Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

And Allah SWT as the MOST GRACIOUS will always have a reward for every good deeds that we do. And to wish AS-Salam is highly recommended and answering the Salam is considered COMPULSORY (WAJIB). However, there are four circumstances that makes it not compulsory to answer the Salam.

Those are:

1. When the Salam is uttered by a person that we are positively sure a non-muslim.

2. When the Salam is uttered by the Imam during a prayer.

3. When the Salam is made into a joke by irresponsible person.

4. When the Salam is uttered after other greetings.

I was quite startled to discover the last circumstance because that is the practice at large. At current, at the opening of any ceremony, the opening address will be the salution to all the guests or VIPs, and later followed by the Salam. However, theres a hadith that Ustaz recite saying that its no need to answer the Salam if it is utttered after other greetings. But I forgot the hadith. And my source of knowledge about this comes from no other but the program 'Tanyalah Ustaz" and today it was with Ustaz Hassan Din Al-Hafiz.

wallahua'lam.

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
