Bittifaq muqaddar, 2.5 jam harian, taalim

Once, 2 people in Nizamuddin were having conversation when Hadratji overhead them saying again and again "bittifaq" ("coincidence / kebetulan"). So, Hadratji advised them to change it to "muqaddar" ("fated / ditakdirkan"), because this reflects iman.

***

Adab gash - we don't have to wait for womenfolk to open the door, or asked us. Straightaway we asked them if there is manfolk at home.

***

2.5 hours: - Ruh of maqami amal. - If alone, find another person to see another person. - When Hj Abdul Wahab sab started mentioning 8 hours a day, the brothers said, we're not even accomplishing 2.5 hours a day, how can you start speaking about 8 hours a day? Eventually when 8 hours are mentioned again and again, more brothers accomplish 2.5 hours  a day.

***

Taalim is to bring light / nur into our selves / houses. Giving daawah everyday but not listening to taalim is not good because our speech is void of nur, unlike Quran and hadith.

***

Pernah di Nizamuddin, ada 2 rakan sedang berbual- bual, apabila Hadratji terdengar mereka menyebut berulang- ulang kali "bittifaq" ("kebetulan"). Maka Hadratji menegur mereka dan menasihatkan supaya ditukar percakapan itu kepada "muqaddar" ("ditakdirkan"), kerana ini juga berkaitan dengan iman.

***

Adab gash - Jika ada wanita yang menjawab salam kita, tidak perlu kita tunggu sehingga mereka membuka pintu atau bertanya kembali. Jika sesuai, cepat- cepat kita tanyakan adakah orang lelaki di rumah.

***

2.5 jam harian:
- Roh kepada usaha tempatan
- Jika seorang, cari rakan yang lain.
- Apabila Hj Abdul Wahab sab mula- mula menyebut amalan 8 jam harian, para ahbab berkata, kami belum pun dapat lagi menyempurnakan 2.5 jam harian, bagaimana mungkin tuan mula menyebut tentang 8 jam? Lama- kelamaan apabila 8 jam disebut lagi dan lagi, semakin ramai ahbab yang dapat menyempurnakan 2.5 jam harian mereka.

***

Taalim adalah untuk membawa nur ke dalam hati kita dan rumah kita. Hari- hari memberi dakwah tapi tidak mendengar taalim tidak bagus kerana percakapan kita tidak ada nur seperti mana nur dalam Quran dan hadith.

Pure worker and "I'm doing whatever I can"

A pure karkun:
- can raise without zihin
- can start effort without masywarah


***

4 asbab to strengthen iman:
1- Give daawaah on the greatness of Allah
2- Give daawah on the stories of the prophets PBUH
3- Give daawah on the stories of Allah's help for the companions RA.
4- Hadith on the signs and marks of iman.
- M. Saad DB.

***


Don't let our nafs be released, as it will get bigger and bigger, under the pretext of 'I'm doing whatever I can."
- gash starts at 6 pm, but we come at 615pm. Later on we'll come at 630. Then 645. Then we come for bayan only. Then we didn't come at all.
- 3 days complete, but we come after work in the evening. Then after Maghrib, then Sunday, later not at all.
- Effort become routine. No ruh in a routine, like a corpse. Looks alive at first, but later on, emitting bad smell.
- Increase in sacrifice.
- Be hard on ourselves, be lenient to other.
- When we starts slacking, the new brothers are looking at us and make us a their example, later they also slacks.


***

Rakan seusaha yang asli:
- mampu bangkit tanpa zihin
- mampu mulakan usaha tanpa tunggu mesyuarat

***

Jangan ikram nafsu kita, nanti akan besar dan semakin besar ia memberontak, dengan alasan "Saya sedang buat apa yang termampu saya."
- Gash mula pukul 6 petang, kita cuma datang 6.15. Lama- kelamaan kita datang 6.30. Kemudian 6.45. Kemudian datang bayan sahaja selepas Maghrib. Akhirnya tidak datang langsung.
- 3 hari sempurna, tapi kita datang petang Sabtu selepas kerja. Kemudian kita datang selepas Maghrib. Kemudian Ahad baru kita datang. Akhirnya tidak datang langsung.
- Usaha menjadi rutin. Tiada roh dalam rutin, seperti mayat. Nampak hidup, tapi lama kelamaan mengeluarkan bau.
- Bertegas dengan diri sendiri, berlembut dengan rakan yang lain.
- Apabila kita mula koeban menurun, orang- orang baru melihat kita dan menjadikan kita contoh, mereka juga akan kurang korban.

***

4 asbab menguatkan iman:
1- Dakwahkan kebesaran Allah.
2- Dakwahkan kisah para nabi terdahulu.
3- Dakwahkan kisah bantuan Allah kepada para sahabat RA.
4- Hadis- hadis tentang tanda dan alamat2 iman.
- M. Saad DB.

Be kind to animal

Imam Abu Ishaq Shirazi* sedang berjalan bersama murid-muridnya, apabila mereka tiba di sebuah jambatan yang merentasi sungai. Setelah beberapa langkah menyeberangi jambatan, mereka bertembung dengan seekor anjing yang menyeberang dari arah lawan. Jambatan hanya muat- muat sahaja untuk mereka menyeberang. Jauh sekali dari menghalau anjing itu, si Imam menyatakan anjing itu lebih berhak untuk menyeberang dahulu, kerana anjing itu berada sudah lebih dari separuh jarak jambatan, Beliau kemudiannya berundur dan mengarahkan murid-murid di belakangnya turut berundur untuk memberi ruang bagi anjing menyeberangi keseluruhan jambatan.

*Beliau adalah seorang imam mazhab Syafii yang masyhur. Antara kitabnya yang paling masyhur sebagai rujukan dalam mazhab Syafii ialah al-Muhazzab, yang mana kemudian disyarahkan lagi oleh Imam Nawawi dalam kitabnya al-Majmu'.

***

Imam Abu Ishaq Shirazi was walking with his students, when they came across a bridge that crosses over a river. After several steps walking on the bridge, they stumbled upon a dog that was crossing from the other side. The bridge can only fit a person at a time. Instead of chasing the dog away, the Imam said that the dog has the right of way, since the dog is already past half-way across the bridge. He then backed off and asked his students also to back off to give way to the dog to finish crossing the bridge.

*He was a famous scholar in Syafii school of jurisprudence. Among his famous works is al-Muhazzab that is being used as reference in the Syafii school. Imam Nawawi further wrote al-Majmu' as a commentary to this work of Imam Shirazi.

Lesson from the ducks

Geese fly in v shape:
- The front leads flips wing, giving an uplift to the wind, making it easier to other geese following behind.
- 70 times faster flying in group, than flying individually.
- If one shot down or injured, 2 geese will accompany it to the ground, till it died, or get better.
- They take turn to lead, because the front one take the most hardest effort. Responsibility is shared.

When ducks migrate, they leave their eggs behind. Only those that return back later, will hatch, ie not killed, died, etc. Fikir of the ducks affect the eggs although they are not physically with them.

pecah hati dan bersabar dengan kerenah rakan seusaha

Satu jemaah keluar di suatu tempat. Diberitahu oleh orang- orang tempatan ada seorang rakan seusaha, orang lama, yang sudah tidak aktif lagi, akibat pertengkaran / pertelingkahan pendapat dengan rakan- rakan seusaha lain. Maulana dalam jemaah, mahu ke rumah rakan tersebut. Orang tempatan berkata bahawa rakan tersebut tidak mahu berjumpa dengan mereka. Maulana menjawab, dia tidak mahu berjumpa dengan kamu, tapi bukan saya.

Di rumah rakan tersebut, setelah bercerita panjang lebar, maulana berkata, saya cadangkan macam ni, setiap kali lepas solat dan tahajjud, awak doakan rakan- rakan yang tak sependapat dengan awak tu, semua Allah cabut nyawa cepat- cepat. Biar mati cepat sikit. Rakan tersebut terkejut dengan cadangan sedemikian. Maulana menyambung, kalau semua dah meninggal, senanglah sebab tinggal awak seorang sahaja. Bolehlah awak mula dari awal, bangkitkan balik usaha, cari orang baru, dah tentu diorang ikut pendapat awak masa tu nanti. Rakan tersebut terkejut dan berkata, bukankah berdosa untuk doakan orang mati cepat.

Maulana berkata, maka bersabarlah dengan rakan- rakan awak. Duduk sama, bincang elok- elok, tolak ansur, sabar dengan kerenah orang lain. Inilah yang dipanggil mujahadah.

A jamaat went out at a place, and was informed there was an old worker who no longer active, possible reason is there was an argument with other local brothers. There's a maulana in that jamaat, requesting to go visit that old brother, but the local brothers said that he does not want to meet them. The maulana retorted back, that he does not want to meet you, but not me.

So, the maulana went there, and suggested to that old worker, why don't you pray to Allah, after every prayer and tahajjud, that those who are not in the same page with you, died quickly? The old brother was shocked at this suggestion. The maulana continued thus, after all those people died, then you can start the work from scratch, find new brothers, then those new brothers will follow your opinions. The old worker is so shocked, and said, isn't that too much, and sinful to pray that other people died quickly?

Then the maulana said, therefore, be patient with them, sit with them, discuss, give and take. Be patience with other brothers' behavior. Now, this is mujahadah.
