Usahawan

Saya tertanya-tanya kepada diri saya, bagaimana mereka boleh mendapat ilham menjual pakaian sejuk walhal Malaysia mempunyai musim panas sepanjang tahun.

Kenapa mereka boleh membuat seseuatu perniagaan itu berjaya dan sustainable (kekal) walaupun ia tidak nampak logik bagi pandangan sesetengah pihak.

Inilah perniagaan, di mana ada permintaan, di situ ada perniagaan. Yang paling utama ialah cetusan idea bagi menubuhkan sesuatu perniagaan.

Idea datang dari akal yang suka berfikir, dan akal yang sempurna datang dari makanan yang berkualiti seperti ikan (bukan ikan sardine) dan sayur-sayuran. Saya tahu ramai orang Melayu tidak gemar memakan sayur-sayuran..

Berani dan modal pun mesti ade gak. Jikalau ada keberaniaan atau keyakinan diri dan kebijaksanaan sudah tentu kita akan berusaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk mendapatkan MODAL. Susah betul nak tengok usahawan melayu dalam perniagaan yang sebegini rupa (perniagaan yang mencabar).

Perniagaan yg banyak di ceburi sekarang ialah pelaburan intenet, prepaid dsbnye. Mungkin kerana modal permulaannya kecil dan tak perlu berfikir panjang atau tidak perlu banyak fikir. Orang kite kan suke yang mudah-mudah atau sempoi-sempoi. Boleh di katakan semua barangan orang-orang Melayu di buat oleh orang bukan Islam, seprti kad kawin, baju, kasut, dan lain-lain.

Bagi BANGSA MELAYU yang ingin menjadi seorang usahawan yang berjaya perlu mempunyai iman, takwa, rendah diri, idea yang kreatif, punca kewangan yang kukuh, kesabaran yang kental dan berjiwa seni. Sesuatu perniagaan yang di bangunkan mesti sekurang-kurang nya perlu mengharungi 6 bulan hingga ke setahun (1 tahun) tanpa ada keuntungan (tiada business). 6 bulan ni lebih kurang macam bulan perkenalan la kot. masa 6 bulan ini la nak iklankan perniaggan kita all out. iklan pun perlu ade seni. takkan main kertas photostat je (nak murah je)

Bahasa Arab dan Mandarin

Bagi mengatasi jurang perkauman rakyat Malaysia, saya cadangkan agar Bahasa Mandarin di wajibkan bagi masyarakat Bumiputra di peringkat rendah dan Menengah. Ini secara tidak langsung dapat membantu Masyarakat Bumiputra lebih memahami budaya bangsa tersebut dengan penguasaan Bahasa Mandarin.

Di United Kingdom, pelajaran Bahasa Mandarin telah di wajibkan bagi rakyat Britain.

Yang paling utama rakyat Malaysia perlu menguasai sekurang-kurangnya 3-4 bahasa iaitu Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin, Arab dan Tamil.

Bagi rakyat Malaysia berbangsa Cina dan India, kelebihan memihak kepada mereka kerana mereka boleh bertutur dengan bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin / Cantonese dan English. Berbeza dengan Bangsa Melayu mereka lebih kurang penguasaan bahasa kerana kebanyakan daripada kita hanya mampu bertutur dalam bahasa Melayu sahaja. Bahasa Melayu yang di maksudkan termasuklah loghat negeri masing-masing. Saya perah berjumpa dengan seorang berbangsa Cina yang petah bercakap loghat pantai timur!

Mengikut pandangan pakar-pakar IQ (termasuklah Dr Fazilah Kamsah- sori kalau salah eja nama), akal manusia akan menjadi lebih tajam sekiranya dapat menguasai banyak bahasa. Saya setuju dengan pandangan pakar dan saya ingin menambah satu lagi kebaikan menguasai bahasa terutama Bahasa Mandarin. Bagi saya BAHASA MANDARIN merupakan satu ‘tool’ atau kelebihan dalam dunia PERNIAGAAN.

Tidak di nafikan negara Asia terutama China telah menjadi salah satu kuasa ekonomi yang besar. Dan hari ini kebangkitan negara China di lihat sebagai satu ancaman kepada Amerika.

Ada yang melatah apabila saya cadangkan agar bahasa mandarin di serapkan dalam kurikulum Sekolah, tetapi kalau kita kaji kesan positif yang ada dari penguasaan bahasa Mandarin, saya rasa bahasa ini patut di ajar dalam sekolah-sekolah tempatan.

Bahasa Melayu yang di bangga-banggakan oleh Bangsa Melayu masih gagal menyatukan bangsa-bangsa Melayu di seluruh Malaysia! Negeri-negeri di Malaysia terpisah kerana loghat bahasa (loghat kenegerian) yang berbeza di antara satu negeri ke satu negeri yang lain. Kelantan dan t’ganu bahasa loghat negeri (loghat kenegerian), selangor, johor, melaka, pahang dan selatan Perak agak sama loghatnya, utara perak, kedah. perlis hampir sama, sabah dan sarawak mungkin sama..! Berbeza dengan Bahasa Arab, penggunaan hanya satu loghat arab (NATIVE TOUNGE) telah di guna pakai di negara-negara Arab seperti Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Western Sahara, dan Yemen

Cuma yang menyedihkan, Bangsa Arab berpecah belah walaupun mereka menggunakan Bahasa Arab sebagai Bahasa Utama atau National language.

Perpecahan ini berlaku di atas banyak sebab, seperti kemiskinan atau di miskinkan oleh negara-negara tertentu untuk tujuan melemahkan pemimpin dan rakyat negara tersebut, extremist, perbezaan politik dan sebagainya. Bahasa Arab merupakan Bahasa Islam. Di anggarkan lebih kurang 186 juta hingga ke 422 juta manusia di muka bumi ini bertutur dalam bahasa Arab.

Berbalik kepada Bahasa China, mengikut satu kajian yang di buat oleh SIL International. 1.2 billion manusia bertutur dalam bahasa china. Bahasa China dan English di anggap sebagai influential language in the world. Berdasarkan SIL Int, 421 bahasa telah pupus di sebabkan beberapa faktor seperti, penggunaan bahasa yang kurang dari 50 org, sesatu bahasa tidak lagi menjadi bahasa rasmi sesebuah negara. dsbnya.

Sesuatu bahasa di anggap sebagai bahasa berpengaruh (influential language) kerana mempunyai Kriteria seperti, bilangan ‘primary’ yang bertutur dalam bahasa itu, bilangan ’secondary’ yang juga paham bahasa itu dan boleh bertutur walaupun ia bukan bahasa utama, populasi manusia yang bertutur dalam bahasa itu, bahasa itu di gunakan dalam diplomasi di antara sesebuah negara, bahasa perantaraan dalam perniagaan dan ekonomi, bahasa tersebut di gunakan sepenuhnya dalam kajian sains, pengaruh negara besar atau negara yang mendominasi ekonomi dunia dan mempunyai kekuatan senjata dan penerimaan bahasa itu oleh rakyat sesebuah negara (international socio literary prestige of the language).

Oleh sebab itu acap kali kita mendengar sejarah kegemilangan Bangsa Arab pada masa dahulu dari segi penguasaan sains, ekonomi, kekuatan tentera dan sebagainya, menjadikan Bahasa Arab sebagai bahasa berpengaruh (Influential language). Rupa-rupanya ekonomi, tentera dan sains merupakan element penting bagi menentukan samaada bahasa itu berpengaruh atau tidak. Sains bagi saya merupakan penemuan yang penting bagi sesebuah masyarakat apatah lagi dunia. Bagi saya Penemuan sains merupakan hadiah dari Allah yang sengaja di sembunyikan. Bangsa yang malas tidak akan menemui hadiah yang di sembunyikan. Hanya mereka tidak kira orang itu Islam atau tidak yang bijaksana dan rajin membuat kajian (atau biasanya dalam Al-Quran orang-orang sebegini di anggap sebagai orang-orang yang suka berfikir atau biasa kita dengar “bagi mereka yang suka berfikir”) yang akan mendapat hadiah yang di sembunyikan itu

Perkh penat… so in english lah eh…

Arabic is the only language apart from English and French that is used in an international “field”. It is the language of Islam and as such used in countless Koranic schools between Morocco and Indonesia. It is also the only major international linguistic stream of influence that is quite independent of the West and as such is little noticed or appreciated there.

Chinese is a language whose speakers are noticeably disinterested in spreading its use outside their own people. Although Chinese is not really one but several languages held together by a common script, we shall disregard such finer distinctions here and call all these Chinese languages (usually and misleadingly called dialects) Chinese. It is a tenet of the language business that in order to penetrate a market you have to know its language. This may apply to most markets but China is different. Like any other people, the Chinese appreciate it if a foreigner makes the effort to learn their language, but they do not appreciate it if the foreigner succeeds. To tell the Chinese that their language is fiendlishly difficult and practically impossible to learn, cheers up their whole day. Everybody may feel proud to have mastered something that is too complex for most others. The Chinese have elevated this feeling into a national art form. A foreigner who speaks or (worse still) writes excellent Chinese is regarded with grave suspicion. Foreign visitors to China, diplomats as well as businessmen, have been known to pretend to a far lower knowledge of the language than they actually possessed. Not unlike the Japanese, the Chinese prefer to deal with foreigners in English.

Despite its huge number of native speakers, Chinese is not an internationally influential language. Its use is concentrated in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and widespread communities all over the world, especially large ones in Southeast Asia. With its continent-sized home base it seems sufficient unto itself. Chinese has been the historical language of learning in much of the Far East and has been a major influence in the past on the Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and some other people. Its cultural influence has declined sharply over the past few hundred years but one gets the impression that the Chinese at home have not noticed or do not care.

German has suffered the wildest gyrations of all major languages in the level of its influence. Entering the 20th century as the major language of science and technology, it suffered a setback when Germany lost World War I, only to recover most of its position in the 1920s. Until the 1930s, for example, students of chemistry in the USA had to have a working knowledge of German. At that time the language was also exceptionally popular in Japan. It never recovered its old prestige after the catastrophic decline suffered in the wake of World War II, when it also lost most of its many secondary speakers in Eastern Europe. It has a chance today to restore a little of its lost prestige and influence there and in the former Soviet Union. German has to face stiff competition from English and the result will remain open for some time yet.

Portuguese today means above all Brazilian. The language could hitch its wagon to the advance of Spanish in the wake of Latin American economic progress. Despite some ups and downs, that wagon is well on the way and Portuguese should be able to increase its world-wide influence. The Brazilians seem so keen to learn English, however, that one may almost speak of a “Chinese situation” developing, i.e. with Brazilians preferring to negotiate with foreigners in English. Only the future will show how this situation develops.

Colour Therapy, pewangi dan pembersih

Warnai rumah atau pejabat anda dengan warna-warna therapy   yang di percayai mampu memperbaiki fizikal, emosi dan mental. Beberapa warna yang di percayai mampu membentuk diri seseorang ialah warna: merah (red)  , orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo dan violet.

Warna juga mencerminkan trademark sesuatu kaum 0. Biru di kaitkan dengan masyarakat INDIA, dan biru selalu menjadi warna kegemaran Orang Melayu.

Selain warna, wangi-wangian juga di percayai boleh menjadi therapy kepada tubuh badan.

Di negara kelahiran Rasulullah s.a.w. Wangi-wangian di jual dengan banyaknya. Oleh itu, wangi-wangian tidak menjadi penghalang kepada kehidupan manusia. Di Mekah pewangi-pewangi yang di jual lebih berminyak 1 lebih kurang macam minyak essential 1, jika di bandingkan dengan pewangi moden 0.

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri Quote :”The prophet said: “The best type of perfume is MUSK 0”

“Rasulullah s.a.w tidak gemar bau pekong” “The prophet did not like foul odors”

Kebersihan 0 juga di tuntut dalam Islam. Kita perlu memastikan persekitaran dalam rumah dalam keadaan bersih. Masyarakat juga perlu jadi pembersih 0. Agak susah untuk kita menjaga kebersihan kalau individu itu agak malas.

Kita perlu berubah sikap 0 kita dari masyarakat compang-camping ke masyarakat yang bersih dan smart.

Islam mengutamakan kebersihan dan buktinya masyarakatnya di wajibkan mengambil wuduk 1 sebelum melakukan solat. Hanya agama Islam yang begitu mementingkan kebersihan umatnya sebelum bertemu dengan Allah s.w.t.

Kita juga di tuntut memakai pakaian yang elok dan bersih ketika berjumpa Allah s.w.t (Solat). Bahkan kita tidak di benarkan memakai pakaian compang-camping   semata-mata hendak menunjukkan yang kita tak perlukan material.

Begitu juga dalam penyediaan makanan di rumah, kebersihan dalam penyediaan makanan 0 di tuntut dalam Islam. Jika penyediaan makanan kurang memuaskan kita akan mudah terdedah dengan food poisoning atau food related diseases.

SOLAT, SENAMAN & YOGA

Saya tidak berapa setuju sekiranya solat   itu di anggap sebagai satu senaman. Pergerakan solat yang di lakukan oleh umat Islam datang dari pergerakan yang di ambil dari Rasulullah S.A.W. “Sembahyanglah seperti mana kamu melihat aku sembahyang.” Rasulullah tidak pernah pernah mengklasifikasikan solat sebagai satu senaman seperti mana di klasifikasikan oleh orang Melayu  . Allah s.w.t tidak pernah menyuruh kita menganggap solat itu sebagai satu senaman. Bahkan tidak pernah saya baca Allah mengarahkan makhluk di dunia INI tidak kira jin atau manusia untuk bersenam kepada KU.

Jika anda tidak mampu solat dengan berdiri maka duduklah.

Pergerakan Solat merupakan identiti penyembahan masyarakat ISLAM.

Jangan samakan solat dengan senaman… kerana ia mempunyai perbezaan.

Senaman ialah pergerakan yang mampu mengeluarkan peluh dan sangat memenatkan.

Solat pula tidak mampu mengeluarkan peluh dan tidak pula memenatkan.

Bahkan solat iTU wajib kerana Allah dan bukan kerana sebab-sebab lain.

Solat adalah sesuatu yang menyeronokkan dan saya anggap sesiapa yang tidak melakukannya dikalangan orang-orang yang rugi.

Saya bimbang sekiranya solat itu di samakan dengan fungsi senaman, kerana saya yakin ia akan membentuk minda melayu supaya menganggap solat itu seperti satu aktiviti yang memenatkan dan tidak perlu di lakukan.

Kalaulah sentimen senaman ini di gunakan bertujuan untuk mengalakkan atau mengajak orang Melayu bersembahyang, saya rasa itu tidak akan berlaku.

Ini kerana orang Melayu   tidak minat untuk bersenam. Bahkan orang Melayulah yang paling banyak ‘gedebok’, atau gemuk  . Keadaan fizikal rakyat Malaysia ini di ambil dari kajian kementerian kesihatan Malaysia iaitu JABATAN KERAJAAN.

Mungkin jika mereka berminat, mereka boleh tampal poster di masjid atau di surau dengan perkataan ini

“JOM SOLAT” “ANDA MAMPU KURANGKAN KOLESTEROL 0!”

Belum pernah saya melihat sesiapa yang keluar dari masjid dalam keadaan penat, termengah-mengah dan berpeluh-peluh.

Berbeza keadaannya jika anda bersolat di Mekah. Sekiranya anda pernah ke Mekah dan berjalan dari hotel ke Masjidil Haram, menunaikan solat berjemaah yang agak lama, di bawah panas terik, di bulan ramadhan, anda pasti akan rasa kepenatan.

Memang saya tidak menafikan solat mempunyai pergerakan yang baik dan statik   dan ia di percayai mampu menegangkan urat 0, mempunyai tekanan yang rendah dan mampu mengalirkan darah ke otak ketika kita bersujud. Tetapi saya tidak pasti samaada ia boleh menguruskan badan.

Saya yakin dan bersetuju apa jua bentuk pergerakan yang di tuntut oleh Agama Islam mendatangkan kebaikan kepada umatnya dan masyarakat di dunia jika mereka berminat mencubanya.

Apa jua arahan agama ISLAM tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah untuk kebaikan umatnya dan mana-mana amalan yang mendatangkan kebaikan pada dirinya, keluarganya, bangsanya dan masyarakatnya di anggap sebagai amalan yang baik dan merupakan tiket untuk ke masuk ke dunia syurga..

INI KERANA ISLAM ITU REALISTIK.

Memang benar, Solat adalah satu pergerakan yang mendatangkan kebaikan kepada manusia. Apatah lagi ia adalah pergerakan tubuh badan yang sangat ringan dan berhati-hati dan tidak boleh mencederakan muscle.

Sebenarnya bukan sahaja solat yang mampu mengurangkan kolesterol, apa-apa pergerakan yang di buat oleh manusia, samaada berjalan sambil berzikir, bercakap selama 2 jam, menyanyi, membebel, menaiki tangga flet sambil berzikir, berjalan kaki ke tempat kerja sambil berzikir, berlari berzikir, hubungan seksual dengan isteri yang sah, berjalan ke tempat makan juga boleh mengurangkan kalori atau kolesterol. Ia juga di anggap sebagai pergerakan yang aktif  .

Membebel  juga memenatkan dan boleh mengurangkan kolesterol. Sebab itu anda akan lihat seseorang itu kepenatan dan terdiam selepas membebel.

Kalori yang di bakar dari pergerakan anggota badan bergantung kepada saiz badan.

Bila tubuh badan bergerak ia akan membakar kalori. Tetapi kalau yang berjalan itu bertubuh gempal, beliau perlu berjalan lebih lama.

Mengalakkan orang bersenam

Di Amerika ada satu institusi atau badan yang di beri tanggungjawab untuk mereka bentuk bandar dengan menyediakan kemudahan melakukan pergerakan fizikal. Saya lupa laman web Institusi tersebut. Bandar yang akan di bina perlu lah mempunyai ciri-ciri mengalakkan penduduknya bergerak secara fizikal dengan aktif dari rumah ke tempat kerja, pejabat pos, kedai, public transport dan etc etc…. Merekalah yang di pertanggungjawab menyediakan konsepnya. Tujuan mereka ialah memastikan masyarakat di bawah bandarnya mempunyai kehidupan yang sihat.

Mengenai solat pula, bagi benar-benar mengoptimasikan (mengoptimumkan) pergerakan solat itu kita perlu memanjangkan solat dari 3 minit ke 40 minit. Ketika berada di Mekah dan Madinah solat fajr atau suboh (pagi) dua rakaat, di laksanakan selama 25 – 30 minit. Solat Fajr di tempat kelahiran Rasulullah S.A.W amat panjang dan tidak ada doa qunoot.

Imam di sana membaca surah yang panjang dan sedap di dengar. Kalau di Malaysia kebanyakannya kita membaca surah yang pendek dan surah itu boleh di habiskan dalam masa 10 saat sahaja. Sujud juga perlu di panjangkan. Begitu juga dengan ruku’. Hanya dengan memanjangkan solat sahaja mampu mengurangkan sedikit kolesterol.

Mungkin anda pernah mendengar atau terbaca junjungan besar kira Rasulullah S.A.W pernah bersenam dengan berlumba lari dengan isterinya Sayditina Aisyah R.A.

Saya juga berminat untuk mengetahui apakah jenis aktiviti senaman yang di lakukan oleh Rasulullah S.A.W, atau apakah aktiviti sihat yang di lakukan oleh umat terdahulu di zaman Nabi-nabi terdahulu.

Di zaman Rasulullah ketika Umatnya dan tentera-tentera Islam berperang dengan musuh Islam, mereka memerlukan fizikal badan yang sihat dan tajam pemikirannya. Hanya tubuh badan yang sihat sahaja mampu bergerak maju dengan bersemangat.

Bayangkan jika tentera Islam pada ketika itu tidak mempunyai fizikal yang kuat atau lembek.

Boleh menang ke peperangan itu?

Pada zaman itu tidak ada pengangkutan yang berenjin seperti mana zaman ini. Jadi pergerakan fizikal amat di perlukan.

Bersenam dan makanan seimbang mana satu di utamakan?

Barangkali tentera-tentera Islam pada ketika itu mempunyai tabiat memakan makanan yang baik. Makanan yang di makan oleh mereka berzat dan berkhasiat.

Saya ada membaca sebuah buku yang di karang oleh seorang Professor di Amerika, yang bernama RAYMOND J. MANDEROLA. Beliau telah pun memeluk Islam.

Saya berbangga di negara seperti AMERIKA, berbondong-bondong warga Amerika menerima Islam walaupun di negara Amerika terdapat banyak kekurangan. Di sana terdapat pelbagai bentuk hiburan, alcohol, dan bermacam-macam lagi keseronokan, tetapi ada di kalangan mereka yang boleh menerima Islam dengan keyakinan yang tinggi.

Warga Amerika yang memeluk ISLAM terdiri dari kalangan pengkaji-pengkaji (orang yang suka berfikir), (bijaksana) dan mereka menerima Islam bukan kerana perkahwinan tetapi mereka menerima Islam selepas mengkaji ISLAM dengan mendalamnya.

Faktor ini ada kaitan dengan faktor personaliti bangsa itu yang sangat gemar mengkaji dan berfikir.

The westerner are the researcher of ISLAM.

Di dalam bukunya yang bertajuk HEALING WITH THE MEDICINE OF THE PROPHET, beliau telah mengkaji tabiat permakanan serta menu Rasulullah dan khasiatnya 1 makanannya.

Menu atau makanan Rasulullah yang di makan di percayai mempunyai kebaikan yang sangat baik pada tubuh badannya.

Daripada rempah, buah kurma, daging, air, susu, madu dan bermacam-macam lagi telah di kaji oleh professor itu.

Professor itu juga telah mengelar Rasulullah sebagai dietitian kerana ciri-ciri pilihan menu nya yang mempunyai khasiat yang baik.

Menurut beliau, Rasulullah telah mengambil diet yang seimbang untuk makanan hariannya. Sepatutnya kajian pilihan makanan Rasulullah di kaji oleh PROFESSOR tempatan yang berbangsa melayu dan di bukukan supaya kita boleh buat rujukan.

Ini juga membuktikan bahawa pergerakan yang lembut belum tentu mampu mengurangkan kalori jika kita tidak menjaga permakanan.

Yang paling utama ialah menu makanan harian kita perlulah datang dari makanan yang berkhasiat, berkualiti dan seimbang.

Di akhir post ini saya letakkan link penyakit-penyakit kritikal serta boleh membawa maut di sebabkan permakanan yang tidak berkualiti dan tidak berkhasiat.

Mengenai Pergerakan Yoga 4 pula, saya pasti ia datang dari Hindu. Pergerakan senaman YOGA 0 mempunyai kaitan dengan masyarakat hindu. Tidak perlu seorang professor untuk memberitahu saya Yoga itu datang dari HINDU.

Yoga di Malaysia di amalkan bagi tujuan senaman.

YOGA di percayai mempunyai ciri-ciri regangan urat yang medatangkan kebaikan kepada sesiapa yang mengikutinya.

Saya tidak pasti dari mana teknik regangan ini di ambil.

YOGA di percayai sudah lama wujud dan ia di anggap sebagai pergerakan Ancient 0. Di percayai sudah wujud lama dahulu. Untuk pengetahuan kita semua Hindu sudah lama wujud di muka bumi ini. Jadi tidak mustahil YOGA juga wujud selari dengan agama Hindu.

Cuma saya tidak pasti samaada Yoga yang di ajar di kelab-kelab senaman DI MALAYSIA di serapkan bacaan mentera. Atau di hidupkan kemenyan seperti yang biasa di lakukan oleh orang Melayu.

Saya juga tidak pernah mendengar orang Islam terpengaruh dengan AGAMA Hindu setelah mengikuti kelas YOGA.

Selama saya melalui sebuah kuil ketika berulang-alik ke KLIA, saya tidak pernah ternampak pengikut agama Hindu bersembahyang dengan melakukan pergerakan yoga seperti meletakkan kepalanya di bawah dan kakinya ke atas. Sekiranya ada sesiapa yang nampak, tolong bagitahu saya.

Sekiranya anda merasa was-was dengan senaman Yoga, anda juga perlu berasa was-was terhadap beberapa amalan hindu yang lain yang sudah lama di amalkan oleh orang Melayu seperti tepung tawar dan bermacam-macam lagi.

Terlampau banyak amalan-amalan syirik yang boleh merosakkan akidah telah di melayukan dan di serap ke dalam kehidupan orang Melayu.

Begitu juga dengan ajaran sesat.

Ramai orang-orang melayu terutama generasi tua yang terlibat dalam ajaran sesat. Lihat sahajalah pengikut ajaran sesat. Pengikutnya tua dan ketuanya juga tua.

Banyak aktiviti-aktiviti yang di buat hari ini merupakan kesinambungan daripada aktiviti-aktiviti terdahulu.. Samaada ia ada persamaan denga Islam. Siapa tiru siapa, itu juga perlu di kaji dan di bukukan. Harap professor di Malaysia yang di beri gaji yang tinggi dapat mengkajinya dan di bukukan kajiannya.

Oleh kerana Allah menjadikan manusia dari pelbagai bangsa dan warna adalah untuk kita kenal mengenal di antara satu sama lain, saya yakin ada perkara yang di tiru dan di gunakan oleh bangsa lain.

Pernah seorang sahabat bertanya kepada saya: “Zaman jahiliyah (zaman sembah berhala orang-orang quraish), ada tak amalan-amalan atau aktiviti-aktiviti arab quraish yang di haramkan oleh Rasulullah selepas Islam menjadi Agama Rasmi di Mekah dan Madinah?”

Saya menjawab: “Ada! Amalan Seperti membunuh anak perempuan, arak, zina, penyembahan berhala, menilik syirik, di larang dan di haramkan.

Sahabat saya bertanya lagi: “Ada tak amalan-amalan atau aktiviti-aktiviti orang Arab Quraish yang memeluk Islam yang di terima oleh Rasulullah s.a.w?”

Contohnya; sebelum Islam di terima oleh orang Arab quraish, quraish suka bergendang. Selepas quraish menerima Islam, adakah Rasulullah menghalang quraish memukul gendang atau adakah aktiviti-aktiviti yang sudah menjadi kelaziman masyarakat quraish di halang secara total?

Ada tak aktiviti-aktiviti arab jahiliyah yang telah di terima, di rebrandingkan dan di implementasikan sehingga ke hari ini.

Saya serahkan kepada Professor yang bergaji tinggi untuk menjawab soalan sahabat saya itu…

Kembali kepada senaman YOGA itu, agak menyedihkan apabila melihat orang Melayu tidak ada indentiti senaman yang melambangkan kemelayuan.

Sekurang-kurangnya masyarakat Hindu mempunyai identiti senaman mereka yang tersendiri.

Dan jika anda tidak mahu melakukan YOGA anda boleh melakukan senaman dari Barat   sepertimana yang di amalkan oleh masyarakat Nasrani seperti berlari, aerobic, indoor atau outdoor   dan sebagainya.

Yang paling teruk, kamu duduk mengelepek sahaja di depan TV tanpa buat apa-apa.

Wallahualam…

:roll:

Ada beberapa penyakit kritikal dan boleh membawa maut akibat daripada kegemukan (OBESITI).

Klik Medical conditions related to obesity

Sekiranya rokok di haramkan kerana boleh membawa maut…..

Makanan yang kita makan juga boleh mendatangkan kemudaratan. Kurangnya aktiviti fizikal yang aktif juga boleh menyumbang kepada beberapa penyakit kritikal. Oleh itu kita perlu memilih makanan yang berkualiti dan mempunyai zat yang tinggi dan mengamalkan gaya hidup yang aktif.

Anda boleh kaji jenis-jenis makanan atau menu harian Rasulullah s.a.w yang mempunyai kualiti serta mempunyai zat yang tinggi. Kita juga boleh kaji aktiviti-aktiviti fizikal yang aktif yang di lakukan oleh Nabi kita.

“Demi sesungguhnya, adalah pada diri Rasulullah itu contoh ikutan yang baik bagi kamu, iaitu bagi mereka yang sentiasa mengharapkan (keredhaan) Allah dan (balasan baik) di hari akhirat, serta ia pula menyebut dan mengingati Allah sebanyak-banyaknya (sama ada di waktu susah mahu pun senang).” (Surah al-Ahzaab, 33: 21)

Isteri Perempuan Suami Lelaki

Akhbar Ahad membuka cerita perceraian artis, selebriti dan terbaru ahli sukan. Tajuk, kahwin singkat.

Melafazkan Cerai itu mudah jika di bandingkan dengan melafazkan I LOVE YOU…

Cerai bagi pandangan masyarakat sekarang lebih di anggap sebagai ‘BUANG’.

Buang dan tukar baru.

Persoalaannya adakah perceraian itu perlu di besar-besarkan di dalam dada akhbar atau mungkin mereka sebenarnya lebih cenderung menceritakan perceraian artis semata-mata ingin meniru media barat. Krisis kehidupan artis boleh mendatangkan ‘hasil’. Menceritakan krisis Rumahtangga Pak Abu kampung Dusun yang tidak di kenali tidak mendatangkan ‘hasil’.

PERKAHWINAN

Mungkin maksud perkahwinan bagi sesuatu pasangan itu masih lagi samar-samar.

Apakah tujuan perkahwinan itu? Apakah peranan seorang LELAKI (THE LEADER)?

Bagi saya polimik perceraian lebih kepada kekalutan masyarakat. Yang saya hendak sentuh ialah LELAKI. Mereka tidak ada ‘GOAL’ dalam perkahwinan. Mereka seakan lemah peribadi dan tidak ‘firm’ dalam perkahwinan.

Ini kerana lelaki yang suka melafazkan perkataan ‘CERAI’..

Dan MAHKAMAH pun banyak yang mempercepatkan cerai..

Common sense sikit BRO..

Common Sense?

Ibn Sina 6 (Avicenna) quote, common sense provides the place in which the senses come together, and which processes sense-data and makes the results available to consciousness 3. Thus the modern psychological 3 term, “perception 0“, fulfills the same function. Individuals could have different common senses depending on how their personal and social experience has taught them to categorize sensation  .

What the HECK is MARRIAGE? Apa tu marriage?

Marriage serves as a means to emotional and sexual gratification and as a means of tension reduction. It is also a form of Ibadah because it is obeying Allah and his messenger – i.e. Marriage is seen as the only possible way for the sexes to unite. One could choose to live in sin, however by choosing marriage one is displaying obedience to Allah.

Marriage is a solemn covenant (agreement). It is not a matter which can be taken lightly. It should be entered into with total commitment and full knowledge of what it involves. It is not like buying a new dress where you can exchange it if you don’t like it. Your partner should be your choice for life. One should be mature enough to understand the demands of marriage so that the union can be a lasting one. For a marriage to be valid certain conditions must be met.

Cerai? Y CERAI?

Adakah lelaki UNDERACHIEVER? Lelaki memiliki bad characteristic..?

Adakah lelaki DENIAL?

denial

Siapa yang perlu di perbetulkan? Jangan guna istilah siapa yang patut di persalahkan!

WHAT Character and Behavior ?

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded PARENTS to facilitate their marriage when they are satisfied with two issues: the faith of the suitor and his character.

Character is of extreme importance in Islam and goes hand in hand with faith and piety. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has even described it as the purpose of his mission to mankind as we can see in the following Hadiths:

“I have only been sent to complete good character.” (Reported by Al-Hakim and others and classed as Sahih)

“I am a guarantor of a house in the highest degree of Paradise for one who makes his character good.” (Reported by Abu Dawud and it is Hasan)

Allah establishes the relation of this issue to marriage, saying:

“Bad women are for bad men and bad men are for bad women. And good women are for good men and good men are for good women.” (An-Nur: 26)

Bad can be changed to good. With the conditions that he or she IS willing to ‘TAUBAT’.

One of the important issues of character in the spouses is the quality of Wudd.

This means kindness, lovingness and compassion.

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Marry the loving/friendly, the child-bearing woman, for I shall outstrip the other nations with your numbers on the Day of Judgment.”

(Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and others and classed as Sahih)

Tanggungjawab dan UNDERACHIEVER?

UNDERACHIEVER itu ada kaitan dengan ANTIMATERIAL. Material dalam dunia ada banyak maksud… IJAZAH dan PHD juga ialah salah satu objek material kerana ia bernilai dan sukar untuk dimiliki. Ia juga boleh di kategorikan sebagi salah satu Motivational factor untuk seseorang itu berusaha.

Setiap lelaki dan perempuan perlu mempunyai semangat untuk berjaya.

Setiap lelaki dan perempuan perlu mempunyai semangat untuk tidak gagal. (Motivation to avoid failure)

Cuma jangan terlampau extreme mencari material kerana ia boleh membuatkan seseorang itu mengalami tekanan perasaan dan lalai terhadap Allah S.W.T

Semua bangsa di dunia tidak kira apa warna kulit dan agama bersetuju bahawa material tidak boleh di bawa mati..

Tidak di nafikan kekuatan fikiran wanita terhadap material menyebabkan mereka lebih kehadapan daripada lelaki. Ini di buktikan dengan bilangan pelajar wanita di UNIVERSITI melebihi lelaki.

Di dalam HUMAN RESOURCE, biasanya pengambilan seseorang dalam pekerjaan di lihat dari kecenderungan si kene temuduga terhadap kejayaan. (MATERIAL)

Tidak bertanggungjawab juga ada kaitannya dengan UNDERACHIEVER.

Untuk menjadikan seorang lelaki itu berakhlak ia perlu memiliki characteristic tanggungjawab.

Bertanggungjawab dahulu kemudian baru datang akhlak.

Kita selalu sarankan lelaki mencari wanita yang berakhlak…

“Dikahwini wanita itu (untuk dijadikan isteri) kerana empat perkara iaitu harta kekayaannya, keturunannya, kecantikannya dan agamanya. Maka utamakanlah (dalam pemilihan mu itu) wanita yang kuat beragama, nescaya sejahtera hidupmu”. (Bukhari dan Muslim)

Ternyata hadis tersebut di tujukan kepada lelaki kerana lelaki lah yang bertanya…

Bagaimana pula kalau wanita?

Bagi saya kedua-dua nya sama … baik lelaki atau perempuan..

Tetapi hakikatnya.. perempuan lah yang amat sukar mencari lelaki beraklak iaitu bertanggungjawab.

Tidak sesuai langsung seorang lelaki tidak bertanggungjawab mengahwini perempuan baik…

Masyarakat sekarang lebih cenderung salahkan perempuan.. Terima kasih kepada mereka yang meletakkan wanita sebagai manusia jahat.

Masyarakat nasara berfikiran begitu. Mereka menyalahkan wanita dalam banyak hal… Seperti menyalahkan HAWA.

Islam never acknowledged the idea of “Eve’s sin” (kaum hawa)

TIDAK BERTANGGUNGJAWAB ATAU FEAR OF COMMITMENT.

Fear of commitment in much popular literature refers to avoidance of long-term partnership and/or marriage 1 but the problem is often much more pervasive, affecting school, work, and home life as well.

The term commitmentphobia was coined in the popular self-help book Men Who Can’t Love in 1987. Following criticism of the perceived sexist idea that only men were commitmentphobic, the authors provided a more gender balanced model of commitmentphobia in a later work, He’s Scared, She’s Scared.

Commitmentphobia is often most strongly apparent in romantic life. Generally, commitmentphobic people claim that they are eager to find a lasting romantic attachment and get married, yet they fail to find appropriate partners and maintain longlasting connections. Ironically, in these romantic relationships, the commitmentphobic partner craves what he/she fears most: love and connection. This paradoxical craving for a frightening reality leads to a confusing and destructive pattern of seduction and rejection. The results are emotionally devastating.

The key to understanding commitmentphobia is recognizing that such behavior is rooted in fear — fear of lost options or fear of making poor decisions. The commitmentphobic mind sees decisions as permanent, opening the possibility of being caged or trapped forever with no means of escape. Commitmentphobia is a real disabling fear, that can be manifest in many areas of life, including career, home ownership, or even shoe shopping. This fear can make simple every day decisions into a tremendous burden.

To assuage their anxieties, many commitmentphobics become fantasy-driven, using their active imaginations to fill in for the lack of emotional security and closeness in their lives. Of course, these fantasies pose additional problems because no potential partner, car, or job can ever live up to the fantasy. Commitmentphobics are also prone to self-destructive behavior, such as walking out on partners or jobs without notice, leaving themselves and the people in their lives in untenable situations.

One potentially misleading aspect of commitmentphobic behavior is that the partner who is actively running away from commitment is not the only one with a problem. In fact, commitmentphobic behavior includes “settling” for inappropriate partners, pursuing unattainable partners, and engaging in instant relationship mergers as well as fleeing from what might have appeared to be a stable romance. Any persistent behavior that actively prevents a person from making a commitment or allows a person to make excuses for not having made a commitment can be considered commitmentphobic.

Authors Carter and Sokol handle this circumstance by describing “active” commitmentphobia, which is most strongly characterized by running away from relationships, and “passive” commitmentphobia, which is most strongly characterized by longsuffering devotion to an active partner who is running away, longing for a partner who has run away, and fantasy reconciliation scenarios.

Islamic Fundamental itu kembali ke ORIGINAL sunnah… my dear brother..

Kita perlu berpegang kepada ISLAM mengenai peranan lelaki dalam keluarga… Itu hakikat dan realiti… Jangan cubA membelakangi peranan lelaki dan tanggungjawab lelaki dalam kehidupan berumahtangga.

THE MAN. THE HUSBAND. THE LEADER IN A VERY SMALL GROUP (IN THE FAMILY)

A man, however should not marry if he or she does not possess the means to maintain a wife and future family, or if he has no sex drive or if dislikes children.

The general principle is that prophet (pbuh) enjoined up in the followers to marry.

He said “when a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion , so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half.”

This hadith is narrated by Anas. Islam greatly encourages marriage because it shields one from and upholds the family unit which Islam places great importance.

When the prophet’s wife `Aisha was asked about her husband’s character, she stated simply:

“He was the Qur’an,” meaning that his life was the practical expression of the Qur’anic guidance. (Reported by Muslim.)

For the above reason, let us see how he who lived his life according to the Qur’an and THE SUNNAH (Handbook), treated his wives.

All the eminent narrators of hadith (sayings of the prophet) such as Bukhari, Muslim and Abu Daud quote one of the prophet’s wife as saying that Muhammad (pbuh) NEVER ever lifted a finger to punish his wives.

And what is more, there are a number of hadiths that categorically prohibit wife-beating, and in one of his sayings he has equated perfect belief with good treatment of one’s wife:

“Among the Muslims, the most perfect as regards his faith is the one whose character is most excellent, and the best among you are those who treat their wives well.” (Narrated by Tirmidhi.)

Tiada siapa yang suka hidup di dalam dosa. Kahwin merupakan keutamaan.

The WOMEN.

Islam does not consider woman “an instrument of the devil”, (or JAHAT) but rather the Qur’an calls her muhsana, a fortress against Satan. This is because a good woman, by marrying a man, helps him keep to the path of rectitude in his life. It is for this reason that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) considered marriage as a most virtuous act.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) always praised virtuous and chaste women. He said:

‘The world and all things in the world are precious, but the most precious thing in the world is a virtuous woman.’

He (pbuh) was also most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims, to be kind to their women, when he delivered his famous sermon, khutbat al-wada’ on the Mount of Mercy, at Arafat.

He (pbuh) was also most emphatic in enjoining upon Muslims, to be kind to their women, when he delivered his famous sermon, khutbat al-wada’ on the Mount of Mercy, at Arafat.

This was in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions. who had gathered there for hajjat al-wada’ (farewell pilgrimage).

It was in this famous Farewell Sermon that he ordered Muslim men to be respectful and kind towards women.

He said: ‘Fear God regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of God, and made their bodies lawful with the word of God. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you …’

‘Fear God regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of God, and made their bodies lawful with the word of God. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you …’

Women and choosing PROSPECTIVE HUSBAND.

The woman also has a right to look at her prospective husband. Some have even said that it is more important for the woman to see the man. This is because the man holds the right of instant and unconditional divorce in case he is displeased with his wife. It is not so easy for the woman to get out of a marriage and so she must have priority in this issue.”

O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good.

Surah 4 Verse 19

If you still looking for the right husband, please ber dua to Allah S.W.T and make sure you work hard for it. To me dua is also part of POSITIVE SELF ATTITUDE.

Positive mental attitude, is a psychological term which describes a mental phenomenon in which the central idea is that one can increase achievement through optimistic thought processes. PMA implies that one has a vision of good natured change in one’s mind; it employs a state of mind that continues to seek, find and execute ways to win, or find a desirable outcome, regardless of the circumstances. It rejects negativity, defeatism and hopelessness.

THE HUSBAND (SO CALLED THE LEADER) AND THE GENDER ROLE

*{Men are the carers and maintainers of women (MATERIAL), because Allah has given the one more [strength] than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill conduct, admonish them [first], [next] refuse to share their beds, [and last] beat them [lightly]; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means [of annoyance]: for Allah is Most High, Great (above you all).}*

The man also has the total responsibility to pay the household expenses [MATERIAL].

Even if a woman is wealthy, she does not have to spend any of her money on the maintenance of herself or the couple’s children. In fact, many Muslim women do work outside the home.

They (THE WOMEN) can contribute to the household budget if they choose, and they receive the Heavenly reward for giving charity, but they are not required to do so.

Every group needs a leader, and Islam gives that responsibility to the husband because he is the breadwinner. He should consult his wife on family matters, but the final decisions are his.

The wife should lovingly obey her husband, even when she disagrees, to keep peace in the family and to win the pleasure of Allah (God). That does not mean that she is his slave and must wait on him hand and foot.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself helped his wives with housework. Furthermore, if a woman had a servant before marriage, she has the right to have a servant at her husband’s expense.

A man and woman should enter into marriage with the intention of it being permanent, and Islam has many teachings on how husbands and wives should deal with each other lovingly.

While men and women should enter into marriages with the intention of it being permanent, Islam recognizes that people do sometimes make poor decisions or change. Thus, divorce and remarriage are allowed as a last resort after estranged couples have attempted to reconcile their differences with the help of family or other counselors.

Also Mu`awiyah al-Qushayri narrated:

“I went to the apostle of Allah (pbuh) and asked him: ‘What do you say [command] about our wives?’ He replied: ‘Give them the same food you have for yourself, and clothe them with the same clothes you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them.’” (Reported by Abu-Dawud.)

As for Abu Hurairah, he reported: “the messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, ‘A believer must not hate the believing woman [his wife]; if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another.’” (Reported by Muslim.)

A man who are responsible to his wives and children is also part of ‘act of worship’. IBADAH.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that whatever one spends for his family is a type of charity; he will be rewarded for it if he acquires it through legal means. Kindness to members of one’s family is an act of worship as when one puts a piece of food in his spouse’s mouth.

Not only this but even the acts we enjoy doing very much, when they are performed according to the instructions of the Prophet, are considered as acts of worship.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told his Companions that they will be rewarded even for having sexual intercourse with their wives.

The Companions were astonished and asked, “How are we going to be rewarded for doing something we enjoy very much?”

The Prophet asked them, “Suppose you satisfy your desires illegally; don’t you think that you will be punished for that?”

They replied, “Yes.”

“So,” he said, “by satisfying it legally with your wives you are rewarded for it.” This means they are acts of worship.

Thus Islam does not consider sex a dirty thing that one should avoid. It is dirty and sinful only when it is satisfied outside marital life.

Act of WORSHIP

The concept of worship in Islam is misunderstood by many people, inclu ding some Muslims.

The ritual Worship is commonly taken to mean performing ritualistic acts such as prayers, fasting, and giving charity (ZAKAT).

This limited understanding of worship is only one part of the meaning of worship in Islam. That is why the traditional definition of worship in Islam is a comprehensive definition that includes almost everything in any individual’s activities: Worship is an all inclusive term for all that God loves of external and internal sayings and actions of a person.

In other words, worship is everything one says or does for the pleasure of Allah. This, of course, includes rituals as well as beliefs, social activities, and personal contributions to the welfare of one’s fellow human-beings.

Islam looks at the individual as a whole. He is required to submit himself completely to Allah, as the Qur’an instructed the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to do:

[Say (O Muhammad) my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death belong to Allah; He has no partner and I am ordered to be among those who submit, i.e.; Muslims.] (Al-An`am 6:162-163)

The natural result of this submission is that all one’s activities should conform to the instructions of the one to whom the person is submitting. Islam, being a way of life, requires that its followers model their life according to its teachings in every aspect, religious or other wise. This might sound strange to some people who think of religion as a personal relation between the individual and God, having no impact on one’s activities outside rituals.

Thus, worship in Islam, whether ritual or non-ritual, trains the individual in such a way that he loves his Creator most and thereby gains an unyielding will and spirit to wipe out all evil and oppression from the human society and make the word of God dominant in the world.

BE Patience my brother

About NUSYUZ

Nusyuz or the literal meaning of the word is “rebellion”. But rebellion against whom and in what sense? We should certainly not think of this in terms the rebellion of the ruled against a ruler in a sultanate or dictatorship and conclude that it consists of the wife disobeying some of the husband’s commands. This is because the same word nushuz is used in case of a husband in verse 128 of the same surah 4, where it is said: “If a woman fears nushuz on her husband’s part…” So nushûz is something that can be feared by the husband on the wife’s part or by the wife on her husband’s part. It cannot therefore be understood in terms of the ruler-ruled relationship. To correctly understand the meaning of the word, it must be noted that both in the verse under consideration and in verse 128 the reference to nushuz is followed by a reference to the break-up of the marriage (see vv. 35, 130). If this context is kept in mind, then it becomes evident that nushuz means the type of behavior on the part of the husband or the wife which is so disturbing for the other that their living together becomes difficult. …In short, nushûz is a behavior on the part of one marriage partner which comes out of ill-will and seriously disturbs the other partner

*{O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower [money given by the husband to the wife for the marriage contract] ye have given them, except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good.}*

*{And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may live [dwell] in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between you; verily, in that are signs for people who reflect}*

Thus, the command for wives to obey their husbands is not an unjust, one-sided command, as some critics of Islam would have us believe. As we do not expect a healthy atmosphere in the family when the relationship between the husband and wife is spoiled by distrust and discord.

When disruption is feared, it is necessary for one to concede to the other; and God ordains that the wife should be gracious enough to do this. To compensate for this as it were, the financial burden of managing the family affairs is taken completely off her shoulders.

*{… as to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill conduct, admonish them [first], [next] refuse to share their beds, [and last] beat them [lightly]; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means [of annoyance]: for God is Most High, Great [above you all].}* An Nisaa.

Here, what we are concerned about is the expression: “beat them” . The original Arabic word used in the verse is: “wadriboohunna”. This is derived from the root, “daraba”, which according to Arabic linguists have got a number of meanings, including, “beat” or “hit”.

Some scholars argue that the word in this context does not mean “beat” or “hit”. It means just “leave [them]”. But it is obvious – and Allah knows best – that the word stands here for punishment, but only symbolic punishment.

The 2007 translation The Sublime Quran by Laleh Bakhtiar translates iḍribūhunna not as ‘beat them’ but as ‘go away from them’. The introduction to her translation discusses the linguistic and shari‘ah reasons in Arabic for understanding this verb in context. The Prophet never beat his wives, and his example from the Sunnah informs the interpretation of this verse. This interpretation is supported by the fact that some other verses, such as 4:101 which contains word darabtum (derivation from daraba), demonstrate also the interpretation of Arabic word daraba to have meaning ‘going’ or ‘moving’.

I hope you understand what SYMBOLIC means…

I say this in the light of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), who is the best interpreter of the Qur’an, as has already been stated earlier. Besides, we read in the following verse, Surah 4 – verse 35, the step to be followed in case there is a chance of “breach” between the husband and wife:

*{If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint [two] arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers; if they wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation: for Allah hath full knowledge, and is acquainted with all things.}*

The Qur’an states that except a wife guilty of open sexual transgressions, a believer should not subject his wife to harsh treatment, even if he dislikes his wife. If a believer (THE HUSBAND) behaves in a good manner to his wife even though he doesn’t like her, the Qur’an used the word Asā (‘عَسَى’), which implies in this context a promise from God of a great reward.

Modern scholars say that the Qur’an instructs husbands to deal with their wives according to good conventions and traditions of a society and emphasize the importance of taking counsel and mutual agreement in family decisions.

Similarly, it is attributed to Muhammad PBUH:

* Fear Allah in respect of women.
* The best of you are they who behave best to their wives.
* A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good.
* The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is.

Sexuals

The Islamic point of view about the worldly good things is not negative, rather it says that we should appreciate them as the blessings of God. And Islam is, therefore, totally opposed to monasticism and celibacy. ‘Uthman bin Maz’un was a close companion of the Prophet. One day his wife came to the Prophet and complained, “O the Messenger of God! ‘Uthman fasts during the day and stands for prayers during the night.” In other words, she meant to say that her husband was abstaining from sexual relations during the night as well as the day. The Prophet was so much angered with this that he did not even wait to put on his slippers. He came out with the slippers in his hands and went to ‘Uthman’s house. The Prophet found him praying. When ‘Uthman finished his prayers and turned towards the Prophet, the latter said, “O ‘Uthman! Allah did not send me for monasticism, rather He sent me with a simple and straight[shari'ah]. I fast, pray and also have intimate relations with my wife. So whosoever likes my tradition, then he should follow it; and marriage is one of my traditions. (Wasa’il, Vol. 14, p. 10) Since ‘Uthman was already married, the word “marriage” in this hadith can only be applied to sexual relations.

Di atas saya hanya menyentuh mengenai suami dan isteri.. saya belum sentuh ibu bapa…

Sebenarnya perceraian berlaku dan maklumat yang saya perolehi, tidaklah begitu tinggi. Bilangannya yang bercerai sedikit. Tetapi untuk menjadikan SIFAR cerai bagi saya mungkin agak mustahil tetapi saya optimistik kita boleh lakukan.

Tiada apa yang mustahil dengan syarat kita berkerjasama. Politik dan masyarakat perlu bersatu ke arah SIFAR cerai.

Hairan apabila melihat orang bercerai. Tetapi adakalanya perceraiaan itu berlaku di atas sebab-sebab yang munasabah dan ada yang tidak munasabah (silliness).

Ada ‘orang Motivasi’ mengatakan tidak mendapat restu ibu bapa..

Mana ada zaman sekarang tidak dapat restu ibu bapa. Semuanya dapat restu.

Belanja dah berpuluh ribu masih lagi tidak dapat restu? Lainlah kita kahwin lari.

Soalan: Adakah mana-mana doa untuk mencari suami yang baik?

Jawapan: Pertamanya, kami dengan sepenuh hati memohon Allah untuk memudahkan perkahwinan bagi anda secepat mungkin. Mengikut Shariah, tiada salah untuk anda berdoa kepada Allah supaya memudahkan anda untuk berkahwin. Salah satu doa daripada al-Qur’an ialah: (Dan di antara mereka ada yang berkata: “Wahai Tuhan kami! Berikanlah kepada kami kebaikan di dunia dan kebaikan di akhirat, dan lindungilah kami daripada azab neraka.”) (Al-Baqarah 2:201).

Pentafsir al-Quran menafsirkan yang kebaikan di dunia ini ialah pasangan yang baik. Anda boleh berdoa kepada Allah untuk memberikan anda pasangan yang baik. Jika ada mana-mana individu tertentu yang anda mahu kahwini, maka anda boleh berdoa kepada Allah untuk memberikan anda apa-apa yang baik atau memudahkan hal itu bagi anda jika hal itu benar-benar memberikan kebaikan, sebabnya anda tidak mengetahui hal yang benar-benar baik bagi anda. Rasulullah (SAW) memberitahu kita yang kita mesti memohon kepada Allah dan memohon pertolongan Nya dalam semua hal.

Hanya Dia mengetahui semua perkara ghaib dan hanya Dia mempunyai pengetahuan lengkap akan masa depan. Dia berkuasa menjadikan urusan mudah bagi kita dan memimpin kita membuat keputusan.

Maka, anda dinasihatkan untuk percaya penuh kepada Allah dan pada masa yang sama memohon Allah untuk mengurniakan anda pasangan yang sesuai dan memudahkan apa-apa yang terbaik bagi anda.

Menjawab soalan anda, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, pensyarah kanan dan ulama di Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, menyatakan: Kita mesti menggunakan sumber-sumber yang Tuhan kurniakan dan berusaha sebaik mungkin sambil berdoa kepada Allah bagi memimpin dan merahmati kita untuk mencapai semua hajat dan cita-cita yang baik.

Rasulullah (SAW) bersabda, “Perhatikan dan harapkan perkara yang terbaik (untuk kamu) dan mohonlah pertolongan Allah (sambil membuat usaha yang terbaik) dan jangan mudah putus-asa.” Jika setelah berbuat demikian, hajat anda tidak tercapai, katakanlah “ini ialah takdir Allah.”

Dalam kata lain, dengan hanya berdoa tanpa berusaha bersungguh-sungguh ialah bukan cara Islam yang diajarkan oleh Rasulullah (SAW) yang kita cintai.

Maka saya menasihatkan anda supaya jangan berhenti berdoa, tetapi semasa berbuat demikian jangan lupa untuk berusaha bersungguh-sungguh dalam mencapai matlamat anda.

Disini ada beberapa cadangan:: 1. Mintalah pertolongan mereka yang ada kedudukan (seperti imam-imam, pemimpin masyarakat, orang yang lebih tua yang boleh dipercayai) untuk menolong anda dalam pencarian anda untuk seorang suami yang baik. 2. Cuba untuk mengunakan peluang yang ada dalam masyarakat anda untuk berjumpa calon yang sesuai. Contohnya termasuklah seminar perkahwinan, persidangan, seminar, ceramah, dan perjumpaan. Semasa berusaha sebaik mungkin, jangan berhenti berdoa kepada Allah untuk mengabulkan hajat anda.

Dalam hal ini, anda boleh menggunakan doa-doa yang sesuai atau mencipta doa sendiri; sebab doa boleh diciptakan sendiri dan tiada larangan untuk berdoa untuk perkara-perkara dunia dan akhirat.

Saya senaraikan di bawah beberapa doa yang boleh digunakan untuk tujuan ini: Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min kharyin faqeer. (Wahai Tuhan ku, aku ini amat mengharapkan kebaikan terhadap apa yang Engkau turunkan kepadaku.)

Allahumma, rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarafata `aynin wa aslih li sha’ni kullahu. (Ya Allah, aku mohon rahmat Mu, jadi jangan tinggalkan daku sesuka hati walau seketika; dan permudahkan semua urusan ku bagi diri ku.)

Allahumma aghnini bi halalika `an haramika wa bi ta`atika `an ma`siyatika wa bi fadlika `amman siwaka (Ya Allah, jadikanlah aku cukup dengan apa-apa yang Engkau telah jadikan halal untuk ku supaya aku tidak terdesak menuju kepada yang haram; dan jadikan diri ku cukup dengan ketaatan kepada Mu jadi aku tidak terdesak untuk derhaka kpd Mu; dan jadikanlah aku cukup dengan pemberian Mu jadi aku tidak perlu kepada pemberian yang lain.)

Anda boleh membaca doa-doa di atas untuk mencapai matlamat itu pada bila-bila masa, tetapi yang terbaik ialah berdoa selepas dua rakaat Solat Hajat. Saya berdoa kepada Allah untuk memakbulkan hajat anda.Semoga Dia menerima doa-doa kita dan mengurniakan kita semua yang terbaik untuk dunia dan akhirat. Ameen.

IDLENESS….Not CONTRIBUTING

Definasi Idle

In describing a person or machine, idle means the act of doing nothing or no work (for example: John Smith is an idle person). This a person who spends his days doing nothing of relative importance could be said to be “idly passing his days.” A computer processor   or communication circuit   is described as idle when it is not being used by any program 0, application or message. See available line  . Similarly, an engine 0 of an automobile 0 may be described as idle when it is running only to sustain its running (not doing any useful work 0), this is also called tickover (See idle speed  ).

Definasi laziness (IDLENESS)

Laziness (also called indolence) is a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to do so, it is often used as a pejorative. Chronic laziness may be an underlying psychological condition.

Feelings of laziness may be a symptom of clinical depression 6 or listlessness  .

Definasi TAKLID BUTA (IDLENESS)

The expression “intellectual laziness” is used to describe a tendency not to ask questions or investigate thoroughly, applying a kind of mental routine (availability heuristic 1) or just following the crowd (herd behavior 0).

How do we FIGHT ‘MENTAL IDLENESS’

Of Course… by learning. What is LEARN?

Learning is acquiring new knowledge  , behaviors  , skills  , values  , preferences   or understanding  , and may involve synthesizing different types of information  . The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals and some machines  . Progress over time tends to follow learning curves  .

Human learning may occur as part of education   or personal development  . It may be goal-oriented   and may be aided by motivation  . The study of how learning occurs is part of neuropsychology  , educational psychology  , learning theory  , and pedagogy

Learning may occur as a result of habituation   or classical conditioning  , seen in many animal species, or as a result of more complex activities such as play  , seen only in relatively intelligent animals[1]  [2]   and humans. Learning may occur consciously   or without conscious awareness. There is evidence for human behavioral learning prenatally  , in which habituation   has been observed as early as 32 weeks into gestation  , indicating that the central nervous system   is sufficiently developed and primed for learning and memory to occur very early on in development  .[3]

Play has been approached by several theorists as the first form of learning. Children play, experiment with the world (BALIGH), learn the rules, and learn to interact. Vygotsky supports that play is pivotal for children’s development, since they make meaning of their environment through play.

The three domains[6]   of learning are:

* Cognitive–such as learning to recall facts, to analyze, and to solve a problem;
* Psychomotor–such as learning to perform the correct steps in a dance, learning to swim, learning to ride a bicycle, or drive a car; and
* Affective–such as learning how to BE SUCCESSFUL, like someone, “to hate sin”, to love one’s country (patriotism), to worship God, or to move on after a failed relationship.

What is ISRA’ILIYAT?

In the Science of hadith   in Islamic 4 theology 0 Isra’iliyat اسرائیلیات (of Isra’il) is the body of hadith 0 originating from Judeo-Christian 1 traditions, rather than from the Islamic prophet   Muhammad  .[1]  . The Isra’iliyat are mostly non-biblical explanatory stories and traditions (in Hebrew: midrashim 0) giving extra information or interpretation about events or individuals recorded in the Hebrew scriptures.

MAKSUD Israiliyyat DALAM BAHASA MALAYSIA. Israiliyat adalah kisah-kisah yang bersumberkan maklumat Yahudi atau Bani Israil. Bukan sedikit juga riwayat-riwayat tersebut yang terselit atau disebut dalam buku-buku umat Islam. Para ulama hadis sentiasa memperingatkan umat tentang bahaya ini. Banyak riwayat atau kisah Israiliyyat hanya mencemarkan agama. Namun ramai penceramah tidak dapat membezakan antara israiliyyat.

Dr.Yusuf al-Qaradawi: “Sesungguhnya antara yang mencemarkan warisan ilmu kita, terutamanya di medan tafsir ialah meresapnya Israiliyyat, dan sukar pula untuk dibersihkan”. Katanya juga: “Seakan-akan Yahudi ketika tentera mereka tewas di hadapan dakwah Islam di Madinah, Khaibar dan selainnya, maka mereka cuba menghadapi Islam dengan senjata yang lain sebagai ganti kepada kekalahan mereka. Demikian itu ialah senjata peperangan pemikiran. Lalu mereka memasukkan riwayat israiliyyat yang pelik-pelik. Dalam kecuaian, maka tidak sampai sekejap, lalu israiliyyat telah mencekik kitab-kitab kaum muslimin”.( Al-Qaradawi, Thaqafah al-Da`iyyah, 41).

What is TAHRIF?

Taḥrīf (Arabic 0: تحريف “change, corruption”) is an Arabic term used by Muslims with regard to what Islamic tradition supposes Jews 1 and Christians 3 to have done to their Scriptures 3. Traditional Muslim 0 scholars,[1]   based on Qur’anic and other traditions,[2]   maintain that Jews 0 and Christians   have changed the Word of God.

Sekarang… mereka nak tukar pula nama orang ke nama Allah… tah 60 tahun akan datang tak tau ape pulak…

What is BID’AH?

Definasi Bid’Ah.

The Sharia 3 definition of bid’ah is: “An innuendo 0 in the religion, in imitation of the Sharia (prescribed Law), by which nearness to God is sought, [but] not being supported by any authentic proof – neither in its foundations, nor in the manner in which it is performed[4]

In Islam 4, bid‘ah (Arabic 0: بدعة) is any type of innovation 1 in Islam 4. Though innovations in worldly matters, such as art and particularly, poetry, are acceptable, bid’a within the religion is seen as a sin or innuendo 0, the prophet of Islam Muhammad stated as such:

“Whosoever originates an innuendo in this matter of ours [i.e., Islam] that is not a part of it, will have it rejected.” [1]   [2]   In addition, the Qur’an 1 (which Muslims 0 believe is the word of God 8) states:

” ..This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”[3]

Similar statements are found in other verses   of the Qur’an and other Hadith 0 as well.

Muhammad said:

Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allaah, His Angels and the whole of mankind.[8]

`Abd Allah ibn `Umar   said: “Every innovation is misguidance, even if the people see it as something good[9]  .”

Imaam ash-Shaatibee mentions[10]  : Ibn Wahb said: From Ibn ‘Abbaas  , that he said regarding the saying of Allah: On the Day 0 (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) when some faces will become white and some faces will become black[11]  ,

“The faces of Ahl us-Sunnah will become white and the faces of Ahl ul-Bid’ah will become black“. Ibn ‘Abbaas also said: “Indeed the most detestable of things to Allaah are the innovations[12]  “.

Sufyaan ath-Thowree mentions: “Innovation is more beloved to Iblees 1 than sin, since a sin may be repented   from but innovation is not repented from[13]  ” and “Whoever listens to an innovator has left the protection of Allaah and is entrusted with the innovation[14]  “.

Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad mentions: “I met the best of people, all of them people of the Sunnah   and they used to forbid from accompanying the people of innovation[15]  “.

Hasan al-Basri   mentions: “Do not sit with the people of innovation and desires, nor argue with them, nor listen to them[16]  “.

Ibraaheem ibn Maysarah mentions: “Whoever honours an innovator has aided in the destruction of Islaam 4[17]  “.

Imaam al-Barbahaaree mentions: “The innovators are like scorpions 1. They bury their heads and bodies in the sand and leave their tails out. When they get the chance they sting; the same with the innovators who conceal themselves amongst the people, when they are able, they do what they desire”.[18]

Abu Haatim said: “A sign of the people of innovation is their battling against the people of Narrations 0[19]  “.

Abu ‘Uthmaan as-Saaboonee said: “The signs of the people of innovation are clear and obvious. The most apparent of their signs is their severe enmity for those who carry the reports of the Prophet 0[20]  “.

The late Shaikh Muhammad Uthaimeen  , a prominent modern day scholar of Islam 4, wrote: “And there is no such thing in Islaam as bid’ah hasanah (good innovation).” [21]

When a religious innovation is committed, it is generally felt that the innovator is assuming that the Sunnah is not good enough, that he must resort to something “better.” Even though this statement would be an admission of disbelief 0 [22]   – there are some innovations that contain shirk   and there are some which allow someone to remain a Muslim, while his action is rejected (regardless of any sincerity it might have had)[23]  .

You Choose which one? What do u thing abt Bid’ah?

This Bid’Ah warning does not come FROM Dr Asri (bekas mufti Perlis). The Bid’ah warning comes from THE Quran (THE BOOK OF WISDOM) and from Rasulullah S.A.W and other scholars.

Your Choice….

Isnad.

In more recent times the nomenclature – hadith, isnad and matn – has become restricted to mean those stories for which the original narrator was Muhammad   or the original narrator told a story involving Muhammad.

Stories about earlier days were commonplace in Arabia long before the time of Muhammad. If a story-teller was speaking about an earlier generation he might well name who told him the story. In the earliest surviving Arabic literature about Islamic origins (from around 150/767) the conventional isnad was three terms long. As time went on the isnads got longer.

In the earliest literature the original narrator or his interest was as often as not some one other than the prophet. But when following his grand-master, Abu Hanifah through his stepfather and eventual master Abu Yusuf and his co-disciple Muhammad Shaybani – and in contrast with his earlier master, Malik – al-Shafi’i   (died 204/820) convinced everyone that the only acceptable legal precedences were those demonstrably coming from Muhammad, the focus changed to those hadiths which could be proven to have come from Muhammad himself. Moreover because each hadith was a potential Islamic legal precedent the authenticity of each hadith became a matter of crucial importance.

One important element in determining the authenticity of a hadith was the reliability of the individual narrators who were named in the isnad. Specialized biographical studies called Ilm ar-Rijal   were made to determine how trustworthy each narrator was and, using that information, how authentic each hadith was.

Scholars emerged who devoted their lives to checking each narrator in the isnad. They asked about the narrators like:

* Are these individuals reliable reporters?
* Could these individuals have met, given where they were in time and space?
* Is there any record of their meeting or collaborating or having any common interests?
* Are the individuals of sound morals and not motivated by politics, local tradition, ideology, money or factional concerns of sects?

At the same time would ask about the authenticity such questions as:

* Is the reported tradition logically consistent  ? Is it actually rational?
* Does it linguistically reflect the words of Muhammad, in his vocabulary?
* Is the vocabulary consistent with Classical Arabic?
* Does the vocabulary include terms used by clergy but never by Muhammad himself (for example, the word sunnah 0)?
* Does the reported tradition agree with the Qur’an 1?
* Is it the kind of matter or thing which we can reasonably believe Muhammad to have said?

It is not very clear just how many hadiths, good and bad, there are. Most likely they would be counted in the millions. These scholars categorized all (or all they could find) of these hadiths as authentic, agreeable, weak, narrated by a weak source, missing a transmitter, provably false, etc.

The Muslims who lived during the Prophet’s time had easy access to his sunnah. What about use who were born hundreds of years after the Prophet’s death? Well, the Muslims of the early days realized the importance of the Prophet’s sunnah and started preserving his sayings in books of hadith. Even the actions of the Prophet, observed by the companions, were preserved in writing. But this process of preserving the sunnah of the Prophet was not immune from mistakes and even forgery. Many sayings were invented and wrongfully attributed to the Prophet during the early period of the Islamic history. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to find an authentic and, at the same time, informed source for the sunnah of the Prophet.

Comments about individual narators can include [23]  :

* “Imam (leader), Hafiz (preserver).”
* “Reliable, trustworthy.”
* “Makes mistakes.”
* “Weak.”
* “Abandoned (by the traditionists).”
* “Liar, used to fabricate ahadith.”

The term slacker is commonly used to refer to a person who avoids work (especially British English), or (primarily in North American English) an educated person who is antimaterialistic   and viewed as an underachiever  .[1] 0[2] 0

While use of the term slacker dates back to about 1790 or 1898 depending on the source, it achieved a boost in popularity after its use in the films Back to the Future 2 by Robert Zemeckis 1, and Richard Linklater 3’s Slacker 1.[1] 0[3] 0

A slacker may also be a person who is in fact suffering from clinical depression 6. The person may have suffered from psychological trauma 2 that has resulted in their lack of motivation. For example, post traumatic stress disorder 0 commonly causes individuals to behave as slackers. For the depressed individual, correct identification of the reasons behind their behaviour is the first step to them seeking treatment and recovering. It sometimes refers to a person who tries to evade military service in wartime.

BE THE Achiever

Achievement Ideology is the belief that one reaches a socially-perceived definition of success through hard work and education. In this view, factors such as gender 0, race 0/ethnicity 0, economic background, social networks 0, or neighborhoods/geography are secondary to hard work and education or are altogether irrelevant in the pursuit of success.

Currently, most social scientists argue that hard work alone does not produce upward social mobility 0. Rather, ascribed variables like the ones listed above play a crucial role in whether or not one can improve one’s socio-economic status   intergenerationally.

In 2002, Sandra L. Barnes [1]  , offered that people who believe in the American achievement ideology most likely blame underachievement on attitudinal or moral differences among individuals. For those who disagree with the achievement ideology, this difference in attitude is most likely the result of an oppositional response to negative institutional and structural forces. In her study, Barnes found that those who most benefit from achievement ideology (white males in higher class neighborhoods, for example) are most likely to espouse the achievement ideology. For example, African Americans are more likely than whites to believe that race is an ascribed trait that helps some achieve success more easily than others, and those with higher incomes are more likely to claim that having a strong social network is an unimportant factor for success. All respondent groups, however, believe that education and hard work are most important for success, proving that achievement ideology is alive and well. Ultimately, Barnes argues that success is best reached when one has an achievement-oriented attitude coupled with the actual ability to accomplish one’s goals. While most people might have the proper attitude, structural factors can keep them from achieving.

Donna Y. Ford [2]   sought to discover the differences in ideologies   between male and female and gifted 1 and nongifted African American students. Ford describes four theories   on achievement ideology…
Need Achievement Theory

Social scientists who advocate this theory believe that one’s achievement is a product of the motivation to succeed times the motivation to avoid failure. This means that individuals weigh their expectancy of success with the value they place on that success, or, how well an individual thinks s/he can do and how much doing well actually matters.

What about You?

Are you The Achiever.

Are u The Achiever in the world you r living and the ACHIEVER for the world after death?

Prophet Muhammad (The best example)

THE PROPHET:

Habib u’l A’zam, Imam u’l Anbiya Sayyidina Muhammed ibn ‘Abdullah,(53 B.H-11 A.H; 571-632 AD)[51] 1 ranks as the last prophet 0 in Islam 4 (”seal of the Prophets”). Muslims shun idolatry of any of the prophets, as their messages from God hold the most weight. His father’s name was ‘Abdullah ibn ‘AbdulMuttalib and his mother’s name was Amina bint Wahb az-Zuhriyya. Muhammed. Born in Mecca 0 in 571   AD (53 AH), Muhammed spent the first part of his life as a well-travelled merchant. He would often spend his time in the mountains surrounding Mecca in prayer contemplating the situation with the city. At the age of forty, during one of those trips to the mountain, Muhammed began to, despite his illiteracy, receive and recite verses from Allah which today make up the Qur’an 1. He quickly spread the message he was receiving, converting a few others in the city, including his wife. He is the last (seal) of the prophets with a message to all humanity. When oppression became intolerable for his followers, Muhammed first asked his fellow Muslims 0 to migrate to Medina 0 and later himself migrated to Medina 0 away from the oppressors in Mecca. Muhammad   served not just as a prophet 0, but as a military leader who helped defeat the Meccans in 624   during the Battle of Badr 0. He continued to lead the Muslims 0 as Islam spread across the Arabian Peninsula 0. He performed the first hajj 1 in 629   and established Islam 4 as it is still practised by Muslims 0 today. Others continued Muhammad’s legacy after his death in 632, having been given the position of caliph 0 (or successor) to Muhammad. The Five Pillars of Islam 0 were established from his Hadiths after Muhammad  ’s death.

Your GOAL in MARRIAGE? YOUR GOAL in LIFE? FOCUS. Set a goal in life and be prepare for death

Goal SETTING

Goal-setting ideally involves establishing specific, measurable and time-targeted objectives. Work on the theory of goal-setting suggests that it can serve as an effective tool for making progress by ensuring that participants have a clear awareness of what they must do to achieve or help achieve an objective. On a personal level, the process of setting goals allows people to specify and then work towards their own objectives — most commonly financial or career-based goals. Goal-setting comprises a major component of Personal development. In order to achieve a goal, usually, one must be focused. When you achieve your goal it is immensely pleasurable.

Achieving complex and difficult goals requires: focus, long-term diligence and effort. Success in any field will require forgoing excuses and justifications for poor performance or lack of adequate planning; in short, success requires emotional maturity. The measure of belief that people have in their ability to achieve a personal goal also affects that achievement.

Long term achievements rely on short-term achievements. Emotional control over the small moments of the single day makes a big difference in the long term.

By accepting a degree of realism when setting goals, one allows oneself not to attempt to change reality to match one’s own dreams by their own efforts alone, but to accept how it is until a certain degree. This degree of reality-checking can prevent one from falling into unhappiness by losing too much control of life by trying to specialize and excel in a very small area and to aspire to become a top leader in that field. This kind of “I must be better than ‘X’ thinking” can lead to ulcers if taken too seriously. Such competition, however, clearly exists in democratic societies, and no matter what level of a layered society one may identify with, it is very likely that individuals will measure themselves with an above and below scheme. hello:)

One formula for achievement reads A=IM[citation needed 0] where A = achievement, I = intelligence, and M = motivation. When motivation equals zero, achievement will always equal zero, no matter the degree of intelligence. Similarly for intelligence: if intelligence equals zero, achievement will always equal zero. The higher the combination of both intelligence and the motivation, the higher the achievement.

To all MY BROTHERS and SISTER

LET’S DESTROY IDLENESS…..

LETS UNITE IN THE NAME OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND SISTERHOOD.

A fantastic book qouteD:

Those who have nothing TO DO with their lives are the same people who spend most of their time spreading rumors and falsehood mainly becoz their minds are devoid of beneficial thoughts;

“They are content to be with those [the women] who sit behind [at home]. Their hearts are sealed [from right guidance] so they UNDERSTAND NOT” (Holy Quran – The Book of WISDOM: 9: 87)

When you find yourself to be idle, prepare for DEPRESSION and DESPAIR, because IDLENESS allows your mind to WANDER in the PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE, with all of their difficulties. Therefore, my sincere advice to you is to perform fruitful acts instead of being IDLE, for IDLENESS is A SLOW and VEILED FORM OF SUICIDE.

IDLENESS is like the slow torture that is inflicted upon prisioners in CHINA; they are placed under a TAP, from which a drop of water falls only after every hour. During the period of waiting between drops many of them lose their minds and are driven insanity.

Being INACTIVE means being NEGLIGENT of one duties. IDLENESS is an expert thief and your mind is its victim.

Therefore get up now and say a prayer, READ A BOOK; Praise ALLAH, Study, Write!, organize your room, house, library, whatever, START A BUSINESS, fix something, or benefit others so that you can put an end to your inactivity. I say this only because I sincerely 0 wish for YOUR BETTERMENT. 0

DESTROY BOREDOOM, FILL YOUR TIME with fruitful work. Do something. Start a business. Create something. Invent something. Help someone. Write something nice.

success

When you apply this simple percept alone, you will have traveles at least fifty percent of the way towards happiness 5.

Look at others, Look at our greatest Prophet Rasulullah S.A.W, Look at IBN SINA 0, Look at the Chinesse Businessman, look at farmers, carpenters, and the bread maker, AND OBSERVE with your FANTASTIC BRAIN.

Observe how, when they are working, they recite words as melodious as the singing of birds, because they are CONTENT.

Afterwards observe yourself (muhasabah diri) and how you toss and turn on your bed while wipping away your tears, always miserable, always torturing YOURSELF! YES YOU!!

Nama IBN SINa telah di English kan supaya generasi akan datang tak kenal siapa IBN SINA yang sebenarnya. Mungkin ia juga boleh di kaitkan dengan strategi Israelliyat.

Barat Kagumi Akal – STEPHEN HAWKING. Akal di kagumi nafsu di hindari!

Tersengih dan bijak!

Beliau memiliki PhD 1, CH  , CBE  , FRS 0, FRSA

Lucasian Professor of Mathematics 1

Tahukah anda bahagian yang paling tinggi nilainya di dalam tubuh badan kita ialah otak 3.

Seseorang yang tidak sempurna tubuh badannya tetapi mempunyai daya fikir yang hebat perlu lah kita kagumi. Kita perlu kagumi akal kerana akal 3 lah yang banyak mencipta produk-produk terkini yang kebanyakan di gunakan oleh masyarakat di dunia.

Akal 3 meng ‘UPGRADE’ produk-produk terdahulu menjadi produk-produk yang lebih baik untuk di gunakan pada zaman ini. Dulu komputer besar bagak, sekarang ia sebesar peha (Lap) dan boleh di letakkan di atas peha. (Top)

Dulu masyarakat Islam di kagumi bahkan pernah menjadi satu masyarakat yang dominant ketika kita menguasai sains dan teknologi. Pada masa itu akal orang Islam merupakan aset dunia. Ini kerana kita banyak membawa perubahan dunia dan kita mempunyai pemikir-pemikr yang hebat dan masyarakat Islam berfikiran realistik.

Pada hal pada masa itu (Islam dominant) ‘cocktail party’ arak tidak wujud.
dulu dan selamanya

Tetapi… Itu dulu.. kemudian ia terhakis gara-gara politik. Sekarang kita tidak berapa dominant. Sekarang kita lebih suka bergantung dengan orang lain bahkan kita ‘terpaksa’ bergantung dengan mereka.

Dulu apabila individu-individu tertentu cuba untuk memperbetulkan pemikiran masyarakat Islam negara tertentu, individu itu akan di kenakan hukuman yang berat. Seperti Sayd Qutb dan Imam Ahmad.

Mereka di anggap sebagai ‘Pengacau’ ATAU MENGUGAT kuasa POLITIK. Ada juga yang terasa di perbodohkan.

Kita banyak dengaR negara Islam pemegang minyak dunia. Tetapi saya pasti ‘pengendali’ minyak di negara Islam bukannya datang dari negara Islam itu sendiri. So apa yang ‘grand’ nya kita sebagai pemegang saham minyak? tetapi terpaksa guna khidmat luar untuk sedutkan minyak dari muka bumi kita sendiri…

Saya tak nak ambil tahu pun.. Aiman tak kisah…

Akal atau otak ada pada setiap manusia yang bernyawa sama ada mereka hidup di luar bandar (kampung) mahupun di dalam bandar. Akal yang sempurna boleh menjadi sedikit rosak apabila tugas akal di kuasai oleh nafsu.

Apabila nafsu menguasai akal, maka kita akan hilang pertimbangan dalam apa jua keputusan.

Akal boleh hilang pertimbangan sekiranya sesuatu kuputusan itu di buat dalam keadaan mabuk, marah, high dadah, untuk keseronokan dan tertekan.

Arak biasanya di samakan sebagai minuman untuk bersosial atau minuman yang mempunyai lambang kekayaan (socioeconomic-status 0) si peminum. Ini kerana arak ada yang sangat mahal dan ada yang sangat murah.

Ia di percayai di hidangkan dalam majlis-majlis tertentu agar majlis itu menjadi riuh rendah. Nanti kalau majlis itu sunyi sepi susah pula untuk kita ‘tukar-tukar’ fikiran.

Tidak ada sesiapa yang pernah hidangkan dadah jenis syabu semasa kita menghadiri majlis-majlis tertentu. Tetapi kesan arak atau dadah sama sahaja. Arak di panggil sebagai psychoactive drugs. Cuma ia di terima oleh masyarakat kerana pengeluar arak pandai mengiklankan produk mereka sehingga kita nampak ia (arak) sangat cantik. Sesiapa yang pernah melihat iklan arak, pasti akan tergugat. Lagipun kita menghadiri majlis orang barat, sudah tentu hidangan barat yang akan di sediakan. Terpulang lah… Saya tidak berminat nak ambil tahu…. Aiman tak kisah pun… Itu cara sosial kehidupan anda.

Long-term effects of alcohol

Dengan akal juga manusia mampu mengubah nasib hidupnya. Akal memberitahu kita tentang pentingnya untuk mengubah nasib diri kita sendiri.

Tetapi kalau kita tidak peduli tentang masa depan atau arah tuju hidup kita, maka akal tidak begitu penting sangat. Kerana yang penting bagi kita ialah kita boleh makan (soru), minum, tidur, bersenyawa dan bercucuk tanam.

Ada tactic politik yang suka kan masyarakat yang tidak suka berfikir. Kerana ‘masyarakat’ sebegitu senang di kuasai dan ’senang di makan’. Anda perlu mendalami politiking secara mendalam untuk benar-benar faham…

Ia adalah tactic poltik .

Akal di kagumi nafsu di hindari

Hanya orang-orang berfikir (dengan akal) sahaja yang di kagumi oleh Allah s.w.t.

Yang paling utama apakah sumbangan akal anda kepada kebaikan masyarakat itu.

Sesiapa sahaja boleh menjadi hebat dengan kekuatan akal…. sama ada di ulu mahupun di bandar… Saya pernah lihat kehidupan di kawasan ulu. Ini kerana allahyarham ayah saya hidup di kawasan bendang (Parit buntar), titi serong. Tempat saya main lumpur sawah.

Untuk memastikan akal bakal anak kita berada di tahap yang sempurna penjagaan awal perlu di lakukan semasa anak itu di dalam kandungan lagi.

New Insights Into Growth Factor’s Role In Brain Development; Could Lead To Better Understanding Of Memory Formation

ScienceDaily (Feb. 11, 2009) — New research sheds light on a neural growth factor called proBDNF, finding that it is present and potentially active during the perinatal period when the brain’s circuitry and memory-encoding regions are being refined. Led by Weill Cornell Medical College investigators with those at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), and reported in the Jan. 11 issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, the study could lead to a better understanding of brain development and the formation of memories.

ProBDNF is the precursor form of mature brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF), and both are active in the hippocampus and cortex — areas key to learning, memory and higher thinking. Intriguingly, proBDNF and BDNF encourage different actions; BDNF promotes the differentiation of new neurons and their constituent parts (axons, dendrites and synapses), and proBDNF the pruning of synapses — a process that occurs particularly in the early stages of life.

“Our results suggest that the nervous system plays an active role in both potentiating and dampening its own activity as necessary,” says senior author Dr. Barbara Hempstead, the O. Wayne Isom Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and a leader in the field of neurotrophin research.

Dr. Hempstead and her research team, including lead authors Dr. Jianmin Yang and Dr. Chia-Jen Siao of Weill Cornell Medical College, developed new techniques that enabled them to observe when and where proBDNF and mature BDNF were being made in a mouse model. They found that proBDNF is most highly expressed in the hippocampus during the postnatal period of the mouse at about days 3 to 21, when large numbers of axons and synapses are being formed. They also found that p75 receptors, a class of receptors that encode a “death domain” in which neurons are killed or pruned, are also active during this period. These results suggest that the expression of proBDNF and p75 are coordinated, with higher and more widespread levels of both molecules seen in the young mouse brain, and lower and more localized levels expressed in the more mature brain.

Since the neurotrophins were discovered many years ago, controversy has existed over a seemingly contradictory role for BDNF. On the one hand, it seems to incite cell death by binding with p75, or dampening synaptic transmission — important roles identified by co-author Dr. Bai Lu of the NIH’s National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. However, the mature form of BDNF also facilitates synaptic transmission and promotes survival and dendritic complexity by activating a class of receptors called the Trk tyrosine kinases.

“Many people in the field wondered how this could be possible,” Dr. Hempstead says. “We found that both the ‘pro,’ or longer precursor form of BDNF, as well as the shorter survival-promoting form of BDNF are secreted by neurons. This gives us a clearer picture that BDNF plays dual roles in the developing brain — possibly both dampening and enhancing synaptic activity.”

Extrapolating her findings from mouse to human, Dr. Hempstead says that this finding provides new insight into how the brain is wired and how this wiring is refined — particularly during the developmental stages.

“When we’re young we all have the ability to learn a multitude of things and acquire many skills. We can quickly learn languages, how to ride a bicycle or to swim. But as we get older our neuronal circuits become more refined, responsive to the things we do on a repetitive basis,” Dr. Hempstead says. “This synaptic strengthening, pruning and refining allow us to have more effective and efficient nerve communication. The question has always been, how do we refine and strengthen synapses that we want to maintain and eliminate those that are ‘noise’ in the background? Our research provides important clues about how the brain is able to do this.”

This paper builds on previous research Dr. Hempstead and her team published in Science in 2001 and Nature Neuroscience in 2005.

Additional co-authors include Dr. Francis Lee, Dr. Deqiang Jing, research technician Tina Marinic of Weill Cornell, and Kelly McGrath, formerly of Weill Cornell; Dr. Willie Mark of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; Dr. Zhe-Yu Chen of Shandong University; Dr. Lino Tessarollo of the National Cancer Institute at Frederick (NCI-Frederick); and Dr. Guhan Nagappan of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHHD).

The study was funded by grants from the National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHHD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Bullies May Enjoy Seeing Others In Pain

BULLIES Definition

Bullying 1 is an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally hurt another person, physically or mentally. Bullying 1 is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person (Besag, 1989). Behaviors may include name calling, verbal or written abuse, exclusion from activities, exclusion from social situations, physical abuse, or coercion (Carey, 2003; Whitted & Dupper, 2005). Bullies may behave this way to be perceived as popular or tough or to get attention. They may bully out of jealousy or be acting out because they themselves are bullied (Crothers & Levinson, 2004).

USA National Center for Education Statistics suggests that bullying can be broken into two categories: Direct bullying, and indirect bullying which is also known as social aggression.[1]

Ross states that direct bullying involves a great deal of physical aggression 1 such as shoving and poking, throwing things, slapping, choking, punching and kicking, beating, stabbing, pulling hair, scratching, biting, scraping and pinching.[8]

He also suggests that social aggression or indirect bullying is characterized by threatening the victim into social isolation 0. This isolation is achieved through a wide variety of techniques, including spreading gossip, refusing to socialize with the victim, bullying other people who wish to socialize with the victim, and criticizing the victim’s manner of dress and other socially-significant markers (including the victim’s race, religion, disability, etc). Ross (1998)[8] outlines other forms of indirect bullying which are more subtle and more likely to be verbal, such as name calling, the silent treatment, arguing others into submission, manipulation, gossip/ false gossip, lies, rumors/ false rumors, staring, giggling, laughing at the victim, saying certain words that trigger a reaction from a past event, and mocking. Children’s charity Act Against Bullying   was set up in 2003 to help children who were victims of this type of bullying by researching and publishing coping skills.

ScienceDaily (Nov. 7, 2008) — Unusually aggressive youth may actually enjoy inflicting pain on others, research using brain scans at the University of Chicago shows.

Scans of the aggressive youth’s brains showed that an area that is associated with rewards was highlighted when the youth watched a video clip of someone inflicting pain on another person. Youth without the unusually aggressive behavior did not have that response, the study showed.

“This is the first time that fMRI scans have been used to study situations that could otherwise provoke empathy,” said Jean Decety, Professor in Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Chicago. “This work will help us better understand ways to work with juveniles inclined to aggression and violence.”

Decety is an internationally recognized expert on empathy and social neuroscience. The new research shows that some aggressive youths’ natural empathetic impulse may be disrupted in ways that increase aggression.

In the study, researchers compared eight 16- to 18-year-old boys with aggressive conduct disorder to a control group of adolescent boys with no unusual signs of aggression. The boys with the conduct disorder had exhibited disruptive behavior such as starting a fight, using a weapon and stealing after confronting a victim.

The youth were tested with fMRI while looking at video clips in which people endured pain accidentally, such as when a heavy bowl was dropped on their hands, and intentionally, such as when a person stepped on another’s foot.

“The aggressive youth activated the neural circuits underpinning pain processing to the same extent, and in some cases, even more so than the control participants without conduct disorder,” Decety said.

“Aggressive adolescents showed a specific and very strong activation of the amygdala and ventral striatum (an area that responds to feeling rewarded) when watching pain inflicted on others, which suggested that they enjoyed watching pain,” he said. Unlike the control group, the youth with conduct disorder did not activate the area of the brain involved in self-regulation (the medial prefrontal cortex and the temporoparietal junction).

The control group acted similarly to youth in a study released earlier this year, in which Decety and his colleagues used fMRI scans to show 7- to 12-year-olds are naturally empathetic toward people in pain.

The scans showed that when the children saw animations of someone hurt accidentally, the same portion of the brain that registered pain when they are hurt also was highlighted upon seeing someone else hurt. When they saw someone intentionally hurt, the portion of the brain associated with understanding social interaction and moral reasoning was highlighted.

The National Science Foundation supported the work.

When youth with aggressive conduct disorder watch an individual intentionally hurting another (like closing a piano lead), regions of the brain that process painful information are activated, as well as the amygdala and ventral striatum (part of the neural circuit involved in reward processing. These adolescents seem to enjoy seeing people in pain. (Credit: Photo by Jean Decety, University of Chicago)

Salafiyah

Salafiyah

“Dan siapakah yang lebih baik perkataannya daripada mereka yang menyeru kepada Allah dan beramal soleh seraya berkata : Sesungguhnya aku adalah salah seorang MUSLIM” [41:33]

Sesiapa sahaja yang memerhatikan perkembangan dakwah yang berlaku di kalangan umat ketika ini terutamanya dalam masyarakat di tanah air pasti akan mempersoalkan apakah itu yang di namakan “Salafiyah”. Tidak dapat dinafikan sesungguhnya aliran pemikiran Salafiyah memainkan peranan penting dalam masyarakat Islam sekarang memandangkan dakwah Salafiyah jelas memberi kesan yang kuat di dalam hati orang-orang Islam.

Hal ini antara lain adalah disebabkan mereka yang beriman akan merasa tertarik kepada asas-asas aqidah yang murni ini kerana kemurnianlah yang menjadi satu-satunya asas yang patut dijadikan landasan bagi mana-mana aqidah yang diinginkan kekal sepanjang masa.

Namun kita juga sedar akan pertelingkahan yang timbul akibat daripada sikap para penyeru kepada dakwah salafiyah ini. Sesungguhnya malapetaka yang paling besar bagi umat Islam ialah perpecahan dan perselisihan. Faktor yang membantu kemenangan umat Islam pula ialah kasih sayang dan perpaduan.

Generasi akhir ini hanya akan mampu dibaiki dengan apa yang digunakan untuk memperbaiki generasi pertama.

Hal ini adalah kaedah asas dan juga matlamat yang diketahui oleh setiap saudara seIslam. Ia adalah sesuatu yang kita yakini, kita perjuangkan dan kita seru.

Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan Salafiyah?

Daripada segi bahasa, Salafiyah dinisbahkan kepada salaf, dan perkataan salaf adalah satu istilah yang penuh misteri. Salaf seringkali diertikan sebagai generasi yang terdahulu iaitu generasi awal Islam. Bukanlah menjadi hasrat kami untuk memperbincangkan epistemologi Salafiyah kerana ia akan melibatkan huraian yang sangat panjang. Masalah ini telahpun dikesan oleh Dr. Muhammad Amarah di mana beliau menyebut di dalam bukunya ‘Tayyarat al-Fikr al-Islamiy’: “Sesungguhnya perkara yang terdahulu yang diikuti masih tidak terhad kerana ianya sendiri tidak berbilang, adakah ia Qur’an dan Sunnah? Atau termasuk di dalamnya makthurat yang diriwayatkan daripada sahabat? Adakah ia nas-nas itu saja atau termasuk juga di dalamnya mazhab-mazhab Tabi’in dan Tabi’-Tabi’in. Kalau kita katakan bahawa Salaf adalah Qur’an dan Sunnah bagaimana pula halnya dengan manhaj-manhaj mufassirin. Kalau kita katakan bahawa Salaf adalah kata- kata sahabat dan tabi’in, maka kita sedia maklum bahawa kata-kata mereka dan mazhab- mazhab mereka bukan satu bahkan ada yang bertentangan. Oleh sebab itu, kita tidak mempunyai satu mazhab tertentu yang boleh kita namakan dengan mazhab Salaf. Setelah menghuraikan masalah ini dengan panjang lebar, Dr. Muhammad Amarah menerangkan bahawa Salafiyah adalah fenomena yang lahir daripada aliran pemikiran pimpinan Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal. Apa yang nyata daripada kata-kata ini ialah Dr. Muhammad Amarah berpendapat Salafiyah adalah mazhab Ahmad bin Hambal dan salafiyyun adalah mereka yang mengikuti mazhab Hanbali.

Huraian Dr Muhammad Amarah ini telah diperjelaskan lagi oleh al-Imam Dr Muhammad Abu Zahrah di dalam ‘Tarikh al-Mazahib al-Islamiyyah’, sebuah buku yang tersangat penting untuk dikaji dan wajib dibaca oleh mereka yang bergerak di jalan dakwah, terutama oleh golongan yang mendakwa diri mereka sebagai ‘Salafi’. Antara lain beliau memperjelaskan bahawa aliran Salafiyah yang diasaskan oleh Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal ini telah diperkembangkan semula oleh Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyyah beberapa kurun sesudah itu.

Adapun Syeikh Muhammad al-Ghazali mempunyai pandangan yang berbeza. Salafiyah menurut beliau adalah aliran pemikiran dan perasaan yang berhubung kait dengan kurun yang baik, kesetiaan yang tidak berbelah bagi terhadap al-Qur’an dan as-Sunnah, serta kesungguhan mengumpulkan usaha-usaha umat sama ada berbentuk material atau spiritual demi menegakkan kalimah Allah tanpa membezakan warna kulit dan keturunan. ‘Salafiyyun’ bukanlah kumpulan tertentu yang menghuni kawasan tertentu di negara Arab dan hidup dengan cara yang tertentu. Sheikh Muhammad al-Ghazali selanjutnya menghuraikan di dalam bukunya ‘Dustur al-Wihdat al-Thaqaffiyyah baina al- Muslimin’ bahawa ada orang yang memahami Salafiyah sebagai feqah Ahmad bin Hanbal, ataupun Salafiyah itu adalah satu aliran yang terikat dengan ‘nas’ yang bersikap literal dalam penafsirannya. Menurut beliau, Salafiyah juga bukan dengan kembali kepada yang terdahulu di mana banyak terdapat perkara-perkara yang remeh-temeh yang sepatutnya lenyap di zaman itu juga.

Salafiyah menurut tafsiran beliau adalah satu nama yang besar bagi hakikat yang besar yang asasnya adalah akal yang bebas mengkaji dan aktif, walaupun paksinya tetap merupakan al-Qur’an dan as-Sunnah. Akal yang bebas lagi merdeka inilah yang membuatkan mereka yang berada di atas landasan Salafiyah berupaya untuk menterjemah tuntutan nas berdasarkan maqasid atau tujuan yang hendak dicapai daripada nas tersebut. Akal yang bebas dan merdeka inilah yang telah mengangkat darjat manusia mengatasi segala makhluk termasuklah mengatasi para malaikat yang suci berdasarkan firman Allah di dalam surah al-Baqarah ayat 31-33.

Sheikh Muhammad al-Ghazali melihat Salafiyah sebagai suatu aliran pemikiran dan perasaan yang menjadikan al-Qur’an dan as-Sunnah sebagai sumber kekuatannya, namun memberikan ruang yang luas kepada akal yang rasional. Sebenarnya bukanlah beliau seorang sahaja yang melihat Salafiyah sebagai aliran pemikiran, ramai lagi yang lain kebanyakannya daripada Madrasah al-Imam Muhammad Abduh; seperti Allamah Sayyid Rasyid Ridha, Syeikh Muhammad al-Khudari, Syeikh Mustafa al-Maraghi, Syeikh Jamaluddin al-Qasimi, Syeikh Mahmud Shaltut, Muhammad Abdullah Diraz, Muhammad al- Baki, Muhammad al-Madani, Imam Muhammad Abu Zahrah, Syeikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi dan terlalu ramai para ulama yang seperti mereka.

Sesungguhnya aliran ini bernama Salafiyah tetapi mereka memberikan banyak ruang kepada akal, berlainan dengan “Salafiah Nususiah” yang diketuai oleh Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Wahhab yang mempelopori aliran literalis.

Kedua golongan ini mempunyai pandangannya masing-masing mengenai Salafiyah. Salafiyah pada pandangan Imam Muhammad Abduh ialah aliran pemikiran yang bersandar kepada al-Quran dan as-Sunnah serta kemerdekaan akal sebagaimana yang telah dihuraikan oleh Syeikh Muhammad al-Ghazali. Hal keadaan yang sama telah dimaksudkan oleh al-Imam asy-Syahid Hassan al-Banna apabila beliau menyatakan bahawa dakwah al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun adalah dakwah Salafiyah. Beliau yang merupakan murid kepada Allamah Sayyid Rasyid Ridha telah meneruskan dakwah Salafiyah yang merupakan manhaj al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun dari dahulu hingga ke hari ini. Maka amat hairanlah kita apabila melihat al-Ikhwan dituduh dengan berbagai-bagai tuduhan oleh mereka yang mengaku diri mereka sebagai ‘Salafi’.

Kriteria Manhaj Salafi yang Benar

Yang dimaksudkan dengan perbincangan kita tentang “Pemikiran Salafiyah” di sini ialah kerangka berfikir (manhaj fikri) yang tercermin melalui pemahaman generasi terbaik daripada ummat ini, yakni para sahabat dan orang-orang yang mengikuti mereka dengan setia, dengan mempedomani hidayah al-Qur’an dan tuntunan Nabi SAW.

As Syeikh Yusf al-Qaradawi telah menghuraikan di dalam bukunya ‘Aulawiyaat al-Harakah al-Islamiyah fil Marhalah al-Qadimah’ tentang beberapa perkara asas yang menjadi pokok kepada apa yang dikenali sebagai “manhaj Salafiyah”.

Manhaj Salafiyah adalah suatu manhaj yang secara global berpijak kepada prinsip-prinsip yang berikut :

1. Berpegang pada nas-nas yang sahih, bukan bertaqlid atau mengutamakan pendapat para ahli, tokoh mahupun ulama’ mengatasi nas yang jelas.

2. Mengembalikan masalah-masalah “mutasyabihat” (yang kurang jelas) kepada masalah “muhkamat” (yang pasti dan tegas). Dan mengembalikan masalah yang zhanni kepada yang qath’i.

3. Memahami kes-kes furu’ (ranting) dan juz’i (tidak prinsipal), dalam kerangka prinsip dan masalah fundamental.

4. Menyerukan “Ijtihad” dan pembaruan (Tajdid). Memerangi “Taqlid” dan kebekuan.

5. Mengajak untuk beriltizam (memegang teguh) dengan akhlak Islamiah, bukan meniru perlakuan jahiliyah.

6. Dalam masalah fiqh, berorientasi pada “kemudahan” (fiqh taysir) dan bukan “mempersulit” .

7. Dalam hal tarbiyyah dan tasfiyyah, lebih menggemarkan serta memberikan motivasi dan bukan menakut-nakuti.

8. Dalam bidang aqidah, lebih menekankan penanaman keyakinan, bukan dengan perdebatan yang berleret-leretan yang tidak menambahkan iman.

9. Dalam masalah Ibadah, lebih mementingkan jiwa ibadah, bukan sifat formalitinya.

10. Menekankan sikap “ittiba’” (mengikuti nas) dalam masalah agama. Dan menanamkan semangat “ikhtira’” (kreativiti dan daya cipta) dalam masalah kehidupan duniawi yang memerlukan akal yang bebas lagi merdeka.

Inilah intipati “manhaj salafiyah” yang merupakan ciri khusus kepada aliran ini. Dengan manhaj inilah terbinanya generasi Islam yang terbaik baik daripada segi teori dan mahu pun praktik sehingga melayakkan mereka mendapat pujian langsung daripada Allah di dalam al-Qur’an dan Hadis-Hadis Nabi serta dibuktikan kebenarannya oleh sejarah. Merekalah yang telah berhasil menterjemahkan al-Qur’an dalam kehidupan generasi sesudah mereka. Mereka mengerti kehendak as-Sunnah dalam peribadatan dan kepentingan akal dalam kehidupan seharian. Mereka mempelopori berbagai kemenangan serta menyebarluaskan keadilan dan ihsan. Mereka mendirikan “negara ilmu dan iman”. Mereka membangun peradaban rabbani yang manusiawi, dan merupakan contoh masyarakat madani. Bahkan, segala pencapaian mereka masih tercatat di dalam sejarah hingga ke hari ini.

Citra “Salafiyah” dirosakkan oleh mereka yang mendokong dan mereka yang menentangnya.

Menurut Syeikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, istilah “Salafiyah” ini telah dirosakkan citranya oleh kedua-dua golongan yang mendokong dan menentang. Orang-orang yang mendokong manhaj Salafiyah – baik yang selama ini dianggap orang dan menamakan diri mereka sedemikian, atau yang sebahagian mereka yang dianggap memahami konsep Salafiyah – telah membatasinya dalam skop formaliti dan kontroversi sahaja, seperti masalah-masalah tertentu dalam Ilmu Kalam, Ilmu Fiqh atau Ilmu Tasawuf. Mereka tersangat keras dan garang terhadap orang lain yang berbeza pendapat dengan mereka dalam masalah-masalah kecil dan tidak prinsipal ini. Sehingga memberi kesan kepada sesetengah orang bahwa manhaj Salafiyah adalah merupakan metodologi “debat” dan “polemik”, bukan manhaj yang konstruktif dan praktikal. Dan juga memberi kesan bahawa yang dimaksudkan dengan “Salafiyah” ialah mempersoalkan perkara yang kecil dan remeh dengan mengorbankan hal-hal yang yang pokok dan mendasar. Mereka
mempermasalahkan khilafiah dengan mengabaikan masalah-masalah yang disepakati. Mereka mementingkan formaliti dan kulit dengan melupakan inti dan jiwa. Kita melihat di negara kita betapa obsesnya mereka dengan janggut, isbal dan niqab seakan-akan yang demikian itu menjadi lambang Salafiyah.

Sedangkan pihak yang menentang Salafiyah menuduh faham ini sebagai kefahaman yang “mundur”, senantiasa menoleh ke belakang, tidak pernah memandang ke hadapan. Faham Salafiyah, menurut mereka, tidak memberi perhatian terhadap hal ehwal masa kini dan masa depan. Golongan Salafiyah ini juga dilihat sangat fanatik terhadap pendapat sendiri, tidak mahu mendengar suara dan pendapat orang lain. Salafiyah membawa pengertian anti pembaharuan atau permodenan, mematikan kreativiti dan daya cipta. Salafiyah juga merupakan suatu bentuk pemikiran yang ekstrim, yang tidak mengenal apa itu moderat dan pertengahan.

Kata Syeikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi lagi, sebenarnya tuduhan-tuduhan ini merosak citra Salafiyah yang hakiki dan penyeru-penyerunya yang asli. Barangkali tokoh yang paling menonjol dalam menyebarkan “Salafiyah” dan membelanya bermati-matian pada masa lampau ialah Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah berserta muridnya Imam Ibnul Qayyim. Mereka inilah orang yang paling layak mewakili gerakan”pembaruan Islam” pada masa mereka kerana pembaharuan dan tajdid yang mereka lakukan benar-benar meliputi seluruh disiplin ilmu Islam.

Mereka telah menumpaskan faham “taqlid”, fanatik madzhab fiqh dan ilmu tasawuf yang menyeleweng yang telah mendominasi dan mengekang pemikiran Islam selama beberapa abad. Namun, di samping kegarangan mereka dalam membasmi “ashabiyah madzhabiyah” ini, mereka tetap menghargai para Imam Madzhab dan memberikan hak-hak mereka untuk dihormati. Hal itu jelas terlihat dalam risalah “Raf’ul – malaam ‘anil – A’immatil A’lam” karya Ibnu Taimiyah.

Demikian juga hebatnya serangan mereka terhadap “tasawuf” kerana penyimpangan- penyimpangan pemikiran dan aqidah yang menyebar di dalamnya. Khususnya di tangan para pengasas madzhab “Al-Hulul Wal-Ittihad” (penyatuan). Dan penyelewengan perilaku yang dilakukan para orang jahil dan yang menyalahgunakan “tasawuf” untuk kepentingan peribadinya. Namun, mereka menyedari akan tasawuf yang benar lagi sahih. Mereka memuji para pemuka tasawuf yang ikhlas dan rabbani. Bahkan dalam bidang ini, mereka meninggalkan warisan yang sangat berharga, yang tertulis dalam dua jilid kitab daripada “Majmu’ Fatawa” karya besar Imam Ibnu Taimiyah. Demikian pula dalam beberapa karangan Ibnu-Qayyim. Yang termasyhur ialah “Madarijus Salikin syarah Manazil as-Sairin ila Maqomaat Iyyaka Na’budu wa-Iyyaka Nasta’in”, dalam tiga jilid.

Mengikut Manhaj Salaf Bukan Sekadar Ucapan Mereka

Syeikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi menekankan bahawa mengikut manhaj Salaf, tidaklah bererti sekadar menuruti ucapan-ucapan mereka dalam masalah-masalah kecil tertentu. Adalah suatu hal yang mungkin terjadi, anda mengambil pendapat-pendapat Salaf dalam masalah yang juz’i, sedangkan pada hakikatnya anda telah meninggalkan manhaj mereka yang universal, integral dan seimbang. Sedangkan apa yang lebih wajar, anda memegang teguh manhaj mereka yang kulli (universal), jiwa dan tujuan-tujuannya, walaupun anda menyalahi sebagian pendapat dan ijtihad mereka.

Inilah sikap saya secara peribadi terhadap kedua Imam tersebut, yakni Imam Ibnu Taimiyah dan Ibnul Qayyim, kata Syeikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Saya sangat menghargai manhaj mereka secara global dan memahaminya. Namun, ini tidak bererti bahawa saya harus mengambil semua pendapat mereka. Jika saya melakukan hal itu bererti saya telah terperangkap dalam “taqlid” yang baru. Dan bererti telah melanggar manhaj yang mereka pegang dan perjuangkan sehingga mereka disiksa kerananya iaitu manhaj “nalar” dan “mengikuti dalil”. Melihat setiap pendapat secara objektif, bukan memandang orangnya. Apa ertinya anda mengkritik orang lain yang bertaqlid kepada Imam Abu Hanifah atau Imam Malik, jika anda sendiri bertaqlid kepada Ibnu Taimiyah atau Ibnul Qayyim.

Juga termasuk dalam perbuatan menzalimi kedua Imam tersebut jika hanya disebutkan sumbangan mereka daipada segi ilmiah dan pemikiran dan mengabaikan sudut-sudut lain yang tidak kurang pentingnya daripada yang pertama. Sering kita terlupa sisi Rabbani daripada kehidupan Ibnu Taimiyah yang pernah menuturkan kata-kata: “Aku melewati hari-hari dalam hidupku di mana suara hatiku berkata, kalaulah yang dinikmati ahli syurga itu seperti apa yang kurasakan, pastilah mereka dalam kehidupan yang bahagia”.

Di dalam sel penjara dan penyiksaannya, beliau pernah mengatakan: “Apakah yang hendak dilakukan musuh terhadapku? Sekiranya aku di penjara, maka aku berkhalwah, sekiranya aku di buang daerah, maka aku melakukan rehlah, dan jika aku dibunuh nescaya aku menikmati syahadah”.

Beliau adalah seorang lelaki rabbani yang mempunyai kekuatan rohani. Demikian pula muridnya Ibnul Qayyim, dan hal ini dapat dirasakan oleh semua orang yang membaca kitab-kitabnya dengan hati yang terbuka.

Namun, orang seringkali melupakan, segi “dakwah” dan “jihad” di dalam kehidupan dua orang Imam tersebut. Imam Ibnu Taimiyah terlibat langsung dalam beberapa medan pertempuran dan bertindak sebagai penggerak kebangkitan umat. Kehidupan kedua-dua tokoh itu penuh diwarnai perjuangan dalam memperbaharui seruan Islam. Mereka dihumban ke dalam penjara beberapa kali kerana usaha pembaharuan yang dilakukan. Akhirnya Syaikhul Islam mengakhiri hidupnya di dalam penjara, pada tahun 728 H.

Inilah makna “Salafiyah” yang sebenarnya. Pejuang yang sebenar…

Berkata Syeikh Yusf al-Qaradawi lagi, apabila kita mengalihkan pandangan ke zaman sekarang, kita akan bertemu tokoh yang paling menonjol yang mendakwahkan “Salafiyah”, dan paling gigih mempertahankannya menerusi artikel, kitab karangan dan majalah pembawa misi “Salafiyah”, ialah Imam Muhammad Abduh dan muridnya Allamah Sayyid Muhammad Rasyid Ridha.

Menerusi majalah “Al-Manar’ dalam tempoh lebih tiga puluh tahun telah membawa “bendera” Salafiyah ini. Syeikh Rasyid Ridha kemudiannya menulis Tafsir “Al-Manar” hasil daripada pengajian tafsir yang dipelajari daripada gurunya Imam Muhammad Abduh, dan dimuatkan di dalam majalah yang sama, yang telah tersebar ke seluruh pelusuk dunia hinggalah ke nusantara ini.

Menerusi “Al-Manar”lah, tumbuhnya gerakan Salafiyah di nusantara ini dengan para pemimpinnya seperti Ustaz Ahmad Dahlan dengan “Muhammadiyyah”nya, Syeikh Ahmad Surkati dengan “Al-Irsyad”nya, dan Ustaz A. Hassan dengan “Persatuan Islam”nya.
Begitu juga dengan para tokoh ilmuan daripada kalangan mufassir dan muhaddith seperti Prof Hasbi as-Siddiqui. Gema Salafiyyah yang dicanangkan oleh Imam Muhammad Abduh dan Rasyid Ridha itu juga disambut oleh para ulama’ di Tanah Melayu yang bangun memperjuangkan risalah Tauhid dan menggerakkan Tajdid seperti Sheikh Tahir Jalaluddin dan Syed Syeikh al-Hadi.

Imam Muhammad Abduh dan Rasyid Ridha adalah para “Mujaddid” Islam pada masanya. Barangsiapa yang membaca tafsir al-Manar dan buku-bukunya, seperti “Al-Wahyu Al-Muhammadi” , “Yusrul-Islam” , “Nida’ Lil-Jins Al-Lathief”, “Al-Khilafah” , “Muhawarat Al-Mushlih wal-Muqollid” dan sejumlah kitab dan makalah-makalahnya, akan melihat bahawa pemikiran para tokoh ini benar-benar merupakan “Manar” yang memberi petunjuk dalam perjalanan Islam di masa moden.

Kehidupan amali mereka merupakan bukti bagi pemikiran “Salafiyah” yang mereka terokai.

Rasyid Ridhalah yang merumuskan suatu kaedah “emas” yang terkenal dan kemudiannya dilanjutkan oleh Imam Hasan al-Banna iaitu kaedah :

“Marilah kita saling bekerja sama dalam hal-hal yang kita sepakati. Dan marilah kita saling memaafkan dalam masalah-masalah yang kita berbeza pendapat.”

Betapa indahnya kaedah ini jika difahami dan diterapkan oleh mereka yang mengaku diri mereka sebagai “Salafi”.

Penutup

Saya menyeru kepada semua yang berada di atas landasan dakwah agar mengelakkan diri kita daripada cepat menuduh orang lain yang bebeza pendapat dengan kita dengan tuduhan “LIBERAL” dan sebagainya. Ingatlah pesanan asy-Syahid Imam Hassan al-Banna: “Jauhilah daripada mengumpat peribadi orang, mengecam pertubuhan-pertubuh an, dan janganlah bercakap melainkan apa yang memberi kebaikan”. Dan nasihatnya lagi: “Sesungguhnya kewajipan-kewajipan kita adalah lebih banyak daripada masa yang ada pada kita; oleh itu gunakanlah masa dengan sebaik-baiknya dan ringkaskanlah perlaksanaannya”.
