Solat Jenazah

Assalamualaikum dear readers,

This morning I had the opportunity to pay a last visit/ tribute to the Allahyarhamah Makcik Puteh who passed away last night approximately at 7.30pm. Makcik Uteh (as we called her) was a very senior citizen who lives with her son in our vicinity (qariah). She was a regular to the surau during her life. She can be seen walking slowly to the surau accompanied by the patience grandson. She will quietly sit on her chair where she perform her solat. During Ramadhan, there is almost like a permanent place for her for solat tarawikh. Despite her weak condition she consistently tries to be at the surau for solat jamaah. She will leave early for Maghrib as movement for her is such a difficult task. However, off-late, she was no longer seen around. The hospital has became her second home until last night when she was called for a transit at ALAM BARZAKH.

Alhamdulillah there was quite a number of people performing the solat, to pray and dua' for her. If only people knows of the goodness thtat Allah has promised for those who perform solat janazah, I am sure the surau will be pack with people. Anyway, this ritual is not Wajib (Compulsory), it is Fardhu Kifayah as an obligation to the Allahyarham/ Allahyarhamah.

Performing the solat is so easy. It has no ruku' or sujud. It is a solat with 4 salams. Due to its easiness, it can be performed in small area (if need to) and jamaah are required to stand close together. Preferably making it into 3 rows (safs).


Here is a simple instruction on how to perform this solat which I extracted from other blogs with the help from Mr Google. Hope this will benefit us all.
================================

1. Niat dalam hati sambil melafazkan takbir (اَ للهُ اَكْبَرُ) seperti berikut:
Sahaja aku solat jenazah terhadap mayat ini, 4 takbir, fardhu kifayah kerana Allah Ta’ala.
Kemudian baca surah Al-Fatihah.
2. Setelah takbir kedua, baca selawat ke atas Nabi.
Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad.
3. Setelah takbir ketiga, baca doa berikut.
Allahummargh firlahu warhamhu (untuk mayat lelaki)
Allahummargh firlaha warhamha (untuk mayat perempuan)
Untuk mayat kanak-kanak yang belum baligh, tidak dibacakan doa ini kerana mereka masih tidak dikira dosa pahala oleh malaikat.
4. Setelah takbir keempat, beri salam ke kiri dan ke kanan.
======================================


Wassalam...

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
