Al-Kahfi: Suatu Kupasan oleh Mufti Menk

Assalamualaikum,

Sambil bekerja dan mendengar bukanlah perkara yang mudah. Especially when you are writing a paper. It requires your attention to your thinking. Composing requires deep thought. This resulted in me listening to the 1 hour speech of Mufti Menk from the beginning of the day, till the end of the working day. I listened to it repeatedly for the whole day to get the gist of the discussion. And today it was a lovely and interesting explanation on the surah al-Kahf.

As we know, based on a hadith, we are encouraged to recite surah al-Kahf on every Friday night till before the end of the day (Friday). Among which, the benefit will be to protect oneself from the evil power of Dajjal.
According to Mufti Menk, the Dajjal is a manifestation of two forms:
1) Dajjal as himself. The actual Dajjal as described by the hadith in his physical form. Will come down to the earth as the world is coming to its final day.
2) Dajjal as a manifestation of a person (anyone) that will try to take religion away from you. Someone that would encourage you to act wrongly, away from what Allah has instructred us to do, and do what Allah forbids us from doing.

Based on the second description of Dajjal, therefore, there will be many dajjal around us. They can be anybody, whoever wants to take the religion away from us. Thus, no wonder our Prophet Muhammad SAW encouraged us to frequently recite surah Al-Kahf and say this dua before giving salam in each compulsory solat.

Have you done this? I did. Let's do it together. May Allah protect us all from the evil power of the Dajjal.

Wassalam.

~There'll be part 2 of the explanation on al-Kahf by Mufti Menk in next updates, Insha Allah. Wallahu a'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
