Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala berfirman : “Katakanlah dengan fadhlullah (kurniaan Allah) dan rahmatNya hendaklah (dengan itu) mereka bergembira!” Surah Yunus, ayat 58.

Para ulama’ tafsir telah memberikan berbagai-bagai tafsiran untuk kalimah fadhlullah dan rahmat.

Sesungguhnya kelebihan dan rahmat Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala itu berbagai-bagai, tidak terbatas dengan satu perkara atau satu tafsiran sahaja.

Sebahagian ahli tafsir menyatakan bahawa erti fadhlullah itu adalah ilmu. Rahmat pula adalah Sayyidina Muhammadsollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam sebagaimana yang dinyatakan oleh al-Imam Suyuti dalam tafsirnya “ad-Durrul Mansur” bahawa Abu Shaykh telah menyatakannya sebagai salah satu tafsiran antara beberapa tafsiran yang dinisbahkan kepada Sayyidina Abdullah ibnu Abbas radiyallahu ‘anhuma.

Sungguh Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam adalah satu rahmat yang dianugerahkan Allah kepada sekalian alam. Bahkan baginda adalah rahmat Allah yang paling agung sebagaimana firman Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala : “Dan tidaklah Kami utuskan engkau (wahai Nabi) melainkan sebagai rahmat bagi semesta alam.” Surah al-Anbiya’, ayat 107.

Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam juga telah bersabda : “Wahai manusia, sesungguhnya aku adalah rahmat yang dikurniakan (dikurniakan Allah kepada kamu sekalian).” HR Imam al-Hakim, dihukumkan sahih oleh  al-Imam Suyuti di dalam kitab al-Jami’ as-Saghir.

Oleh itu sewajarnya kita bergembira dengan anugerah rahmat Allah ini.

Antara cara untuk menyatakan kegembiraan ini ialah dengan selalu bahkan senantiasa kita ingat dan memperingati Sayyidina Muhammad sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam dan tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa majlis pembacaan maulid baginda adalah salah satu majlis di mana Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam diperingati, disebut-sebut, dipuji, disanjung, dikenali, dicintai justeru diikuti sebagai contoh tauladan yang paling unggul.

Majlis di mana nama Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam adalah satu majlis yang besar, yang agung lagi harum semerbak baunya, sebagaimana penjelasan ulama’.

Sayyidul Ulama al-Hijaz Shaykh Nawawi al-Bantani rahimahullah dalam kitabnya “as-Simarul Yani`ah fir Riyadhil Badi`ah” menyatakan bahawa antara masa dan tempat yang diharapkan qabulnya doa permohonan kita ialah pada perhimpunan-perhimpunan kebajikan (majãmi-`ul khair) seperti majlis-majlis pembacaan maulid Nabi sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam.

Berkata al-Imam al-‘Allamah al-Hafidz ‘Abdur Rahman al-Baghdadi al-Hanbali, dilahirkan pada tahun 510H dan wafat pada 13 Ramadhan 597H di dalam kitabnya “Bustanul Wa`idzin wa Riyadhus Sami`in” mengenai keistimewaan majlis di mana selawat dan salam diucapkan ke atas Sayyidina Muhammad sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam : Telah diriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam bersabda, “Tidak duduk (yakni hadhir) sesuatu kaum dalam sebuah majlis kemudian mereka berpisah atau bersurai tanpa berselawat ke atasku melainkan perpisahan mereka itu atas bau busuk seperti bau bangkai himar.” HR Imam Ahmad, dihukumkan sahih oleh  al-Imam Suyuti di dalam kitab al-Jamĩ’ as-Saghĩr.

Kata al-Imam lagi : Apabila sesuatu majlis di mana para hadhirin yang menghadhirinya tidak berselawat ke atas Rasulullsh sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam di dalamnya, akan menyebabkan mereka berpisah atau bersurai atas bau busuk seperti bau bangkai himar (keldai), maka tidaklah menghairankan jika majlis yang di dalamnya diucapkan ucapan-ucapan selawat ke atas Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam akan menyebabkan para hadhirin yang menghadhirinya mendapat bau wangi yang paling harum dan paling baik. Dan yang sedemikian itu adalah kerana Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassallam adalah makhluk yang terbaik dan yang paling suci, yang mana apabila baginda bersabda dalam sesuatu majlis, nescaya penuhlah majlis tersebut dengan bau harum mewangi semerbak kasturi.

Oleh itu, marilah kita berusaha sedaya upaya untuk selalu menghadhirkan diri dalam majlis-majlis maulid dengan memperbanyakkan ucapan selawat dan salam serta mendoakan kebajikan diri dan ummat sekaliannya.

Adat dunia ada lawannya, jika ada yang tidak suka hadhir, maka biarkanlah mereka dengan pendapat dan pandangan mereka, mudah-mudahan mereka juga akan membiarkan kita beramal dengan tenang tanpa cemuhan dan sindiran, tanpa fitnah dan tohmah.

Yang sedihnya, ada diantara orang yang bila melihat ummat Islam memuji Rasulullah sollallahu ‘alaihi wassalam

mereka menuduh ummat Islam mendewa-dewakan Nabi, mereka kata ummat Islam menyamakan Nabi dengan Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. Kita harus berwaspada agar jangan terpedaya dengan kata-kata segolongan yang suka membid`ahkan amalan orang lain.

Kita ada pegangan kita dan kita ada ulama’ yang menjadi sandaran kita, bukan satu, bukan dua tetapi sangat ramai. Bak kata al-Allamah al-Fadhil Shaykh Nuruddin al-Banjari, amalan ini telah diamalkan zaman berzaman oleh bukan sahaja orang awam tetapi para ulama ummat ini.

Orang yang mencerca amalan yang telah dipandang baik oleh ummat ini besar kemungkinan mereka belum faham kedudukan yang sebenar.

Janganlah dibahas atau berdebat dengan mereka, habis umur kita untuk tujuan tersebut dan sia-sialah masa kita.

Apa yang penting kita tetap menyatakan ialah pegangan kita, ulama’ kita, hujjah kita dan kita nasihatkan mereka agar berlapang dada dengan khilafiyyah ini serta hentikan fitnah dan tohmah terhadap amalan dan ulama’ kita.

Wallahu ta’ala a’lam wasollallahu ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ‘ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wassalam walhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin.

Rangkaian dagangan baru galak sistem ekonomi Islam

Oleh Atiyyah Mohd Said

SATU rangkaian perdagangan baru untuk peniaga Islam akan dilancar dalam usaha menggalak sistem ekonomi Islam dalam kalangan masyarakat Islam setempat.

Rangkaian Dagangan Tumasik ialah rangkaian peniaga setempat yang bersedia menerima emas dan perak dalam urusan perniagaan.

Ini hasil idea sekumpulan syarikat Islam setempat di bawah nama Anniche yang terdiri daripada firma Syajarah, 14:24, Carve Books dan Wazir Media.

Rangkaian yang bakal dilancarkan pada 28 Januari ini, kini mempunyai sekitar 35 anggota peniaga daripada pelbagai bidang seperti kedai runcit, kedai gunting rambut, khidmat pendidikan dan pakaian.

Ustaz Mohd Noor Mohd Deros, 25 tahun, yang mengetuai usaha rangkaian itu, berkata ia bermatlamat meningkatkan kesedaran lebih ramai peniaga dan pengguna tentang sistem ekonomi Islam atau Al-Muamalah.

‘Sebenarnya terdapat segelintir peniaga yang sudah menerima wang emas dan perak sejak beberapa bulan lalu tetapi masih belum meluas. Jadi, kami berharap dapat mendekati lebih ramai peniaga dan pengguna dalam usaha ini,’ jelasnya.

Menurut pemilik syarikat penyedia pendidikan Islam 14:24 itu, usaha tersebut penting apatah lagi menyusuli krisis di negara-negara Barat sejak beberapa tahun lalu yang mencerminkan kelemahan sistem kewangan Barat.

‘Sistem ekonomi yang menggunakan mata wang kertas dan mengamalkan riba tidak mungkin dapat bertahan lama. Maka penting bagi kita mempunyai alternatif sistem kewangan lain,’ ujarnya yang menjual dinar dan dirham yang dibekalkan dari Kelantan.

Tentang permintaan di Singapura, Ustaz Mohd Noor menerangkan matlamatnya bukan menarik semua orang tetapi golongan yang memahami dan mahu mengamalkan penggunaan emas dan perak.

Beliau menegaskan bahawa ini tidak menyalahi undang-undang negara kerana ia bersifat dagangan barter yang dipersetujui kedua-dua pihak.

‘Kami bukan menggalak orang ramai langsung tidak menggunakan duit kertas dan syiling di negara ini tetapi memberikan pilihan kepada peniaga dan pengguna Muslim untuk menggunakan dinar emas dan perak.

‘Misalnya, satu dinar emas bersamaan $360 manakala satu dirham atau perak ialah $12.

‘Jadi, jika anda membeli sesuatu barang yang berharga $5 dengan menggunakan dirham, anda akan tetap dikembalikan $7 dalam bentuk wang kertas kerana tiadanya dinar dalam nilai lebih rendah,’ jelasnya.

Beliau menambah, negara jiran khususnya Malaysia dan Indonesia kini semakin giat menggerakkan usaha penerimaan dinar emas dan perak dalam urus niaga harian secara bersama dengan lebih 10,000 kedai sudah melaksanakannya.

Antara kegiatan rangkaian itu termasuk seminar, bengkel serta pasar lambak.

Ustaz Mohd Noor menyasarkan menarik 100 kedai menyertai rangkaian itu pada akhir tahun ini.

Salah seorang anggotanya ialah Encik Mubarak Shah, pemilik kedai online yang menjual buku Islam, Carve Books.

‘Sebenarnya saya sudah menggunakan emas dan perak setahun lalu dan saya rasa dengan pelancaran rangkaian itu, lebih ramai masyarakat Melayu akan semakin cenderung membeli emas dan perak,’ katanya.

Butir lanjut mengenai majlis pelancaran di Auditorium Masjid Sultan itu boleh didapatkan menerusi laman info@carvebooks.com.

Idris Tawfiq is much in demand as a speaker. His style of speaking is both simple and very gentle, touching hearts, as well as causing people to think. Idris points out that he is not an Islamic scholar, but rather has a way of explaining things about Islam in a very simple way. He has considerable experience in leading retreats and In-Service training for both students and adults. He uses this vast experience of dealing with ordinary people and explaining matters of faith to them to enliven his writing and style of speaking, making them both interesting and easy to understand. He tries to explain Islam to those in the West who are not Muslim.

Because of his background, Idris Tawfiq is also heavily involved in the work of inter-faith dialogue. “We should never feel threatened by goodness,” he says, “wherever it comes from.” In his travels, Idris has met many religious and civic leaders, extending a hand of friendship on behalf of all Muslims.

As a writer, Idris Tawfiq has written for newspapers and periodicals in the United Kingdom and has been a regular contributor and Consultant to islamonline.net and readingislam.com. Idris has a weekly column in three Egyptian newspapers: every Friday in Sawt Al-Azhar, the newspaper of Al-Azhar University; every Tuesday in Egyptian Mail and every Saturday inEgyptian Gazette.

He is the author of the following books:

• Gardens of Delight: a simple introduction to Islam
• Talking to Young Muslims
• Talking to New Muslims
• Talking to Muslims in the West
• Talking About Ramadan
• Calling Others to Islam
• Talking About Other faiths
• Looking for Peace in the Land of the Prophets

Idris Tawfiq is a lecturer in the Faculty of Languages and Translation at Al-Azhar University.

Travelling all over the globe, Idris speaks about Islam both to Muslim and non-Muslim groups. He is very popular with Muslim youth and has spoken in over forty universities worldwide. Idris is also heavily involved as a speaker on television and radio, having made nearly a hundred tv programmes.

As a Muslim, Idris Tawfiq has a deep love for the Arab world. Stories and characters from Cairo and the Arab world often find their way into his writing. After a while as Director of the Post Graduate Research Centre at Al-Fatih Islamic Institute in Damascus, Idris Tawfiq now lives in Egypt. Often asked why he chooses the Middle East as a base from which to speak to people in the West about Islam, rather than living in London, Idris says that the culture and the people of that region  are a fertile source of inspiration for him. He now divides his time between his home in Egypt and his travels around the world.

Besides desiring mercy from our Allah swt, I would also wish to be forgiven by people I made mistakes to. Hence it is always good to have this as part of our daily reminders to forgive others.

In our Facebook Page..

We have actually set this prayer as a reminder on a daily basis at 10 pm each day.

Why Forgive?

We have to believe that for others to forgive you, we must first ask Allah swt for forgiveness and for us to forgive ourselves and others first. We shouldn’t be waiting for others to forgive us. Its must start from us.

As we live day by day, we can never know some of our mistakes to others because  there are mistakes that we don’t even realise. And because of that, it irritated someone, made someone jealous and more. Whatever it is that hurts that person’s heart, let’s learn to forgive them first.

In some studies it shows that the reason people don’t move on with their lives and stuck in situations is because they are not able to forgive.  Ending up in unnecessary stress and ending up in a mess. Let’s do our best not to get into those state.

Writing it here is easy but doing this could take a few minutes for us or for some or it may take years. Hence the reason we are always reminding ourselves about it daily…

And since he deems it un-Islamic to own a Facebook page, it’s therefore a sin:

“Basically, going to any website which propagates immoralities and could weaken the religious belief is un-Islamic and not allowed, and membership in it is therefore haram (a sin),” the ayatollah replied.

“Only the use of websites propagating religious criteria and not leading to any kind of ethical immoralities is of no problem,” he added.Iran has a population of 70 million, of which than 60 per cent is under the age of 30.

Over 5 million websites are reportedly blocked in Iran, but Iranians use proxy software and virtual private networks (VPN) to access them.

Iranian officials have, for over three decades, been waging what they call a “battle against the invasion of Western culture.”

This has led to blockades of “immoral” internet sites and banned Western music and movies. However, pirated versions of those are easily available on the black market.

Iran at this moment have actually banned facebook from the country however as mention above, the youths do have ways to sneak through it.

So what do you think? Do you agree with the statement? 

In our point of view, Facebook as a social networking element is not all bad. Infact, it’s a double edge sword: meaning it can be for bad purposes and at the same time spread good work.

In the past it was impossible to connect old lost friends, today through Facebook it has been made easy. Today its easier to announce something, compare to in the past where you have to pay hundreds of dollars just to publicise your messages. And there are many more to lists down.

Facebook does has its benefits however note that people can also use it for the bad things. I wouldn’t want to mention all the issues that has arrised cos as you know negative information will tend to overwhelm the postive.

At the end of the day, it boils down to one’s intentions of how they are using it. Let’s do good, share great things about Allah swt and his messenger, Muhammad SAW. Insyallah you will also gain great rewards.

Do share your point of views.

We will like to inform you that there will be a delay in delivering the SOLAT SUNAT 3D. It was supposed to be in our hands by 1st week of January and delivered to you by the end of last week or this week.

However there are some hiccups in the production line. Firstly we would like to apologize for the delay and we would like to assure you that the DVD will be in your hands soon.

One of the reasons that its delayed is because that the Producers found a small mistake and had to re-redo certain aspects of the Animations.

At this moment, we are doing our best to push for it to be ready as soon as possible.. When its ready we will make another announcement here.

Pray for us so that Allah swt makes it easy for us.
