masywarah

Once, Prof Nadeem went 4 months to Indonesia. After completing 2 months, he received a message, that his parents were ill and needed care. With masywarah, he returned back to India, and went to take care his parents. Washing their clothes, cleaning their stools, for 2 years, he didn’t even go for 3 days. After 2 years, his parents passed away. So, he went back for 4 months. While in the 4 months, he dreamt of Nabi SAW came to him and asked, “Where have you been? I missed you.”

- Importance of doing masywarah

- Suppressing nafs (want to go out, but need to obey nasywarah)

- Nabi’s remark showed that his disappearance is accepted.

People of masjid and ikhtilat

If we ‘hit’ upon people of the masjid when we do gash or door- to- door:

- We can say, “Alhamdulillah, people of the masjid! People of the masjid are the ones we really want to see most.”

- Be in a discussion mode.

***

Jikalau semasa gash atau dakwah pintu- ke- pintu, kita terjumpa ahli-ahli masjid (orang- orang yang biasa ke masjid):

- Kita boleh berkata begini, “Alhamdulillah, ahli masjid! Ahli masjid la yang kita paling nak jumpa sekali.”

- Letakkan diri dalam keadaan seolah- olah ingin berbincang.

***

Rules of ikhtilat:

- Khilafah

o Khalifah of Allah

o Ummat Nabi SAW

o Inheritors of Quran

- Kalimah

- Akhirah (or is it Risalah? i.e. importance of being involved in effort of Deen)

***

Peraturan semasa ikhtilat (bergaul dengan orang- orang tempatan):

- Khilafah

o Khalifah Allah

o Ummat Nabi SAW

o Pewaris Quran

- Kalimah

- Akhirah (ke Risalah? Risalah – pentingnya terlibat dalam kerja agama)

khususi & a story

Khususi:

- If the house is too small, or lots of kids that can distract the conversation, bring the brother to the masjid, or further away, like lawns.

- The best place to speak is at the masjid, not at home, because full attention and the environment is there.

*****

A brother wants to quit his job and go for 4 months. He already married. When an old worker at his place know about this, he advise him not to quit his job, but to do 2 things:

- Don’t miss the local efforts

- Do his job as best as he could.

So the brother cancels quitting and did the above. Later, after awhile, his father-in-law who used to dislike him for being involved in this effort, turned to like him because he didn’t left his family for long. His boss, seeing that he does his job excellently, said to him that he can go for 40 days, and the boss will wait for him to return, even for 4 months. The boss likes him and felt such a loss to sack him if he goes out. The brother then took his leave and goes out for 4 months:

- The benefit of doing consultation (masywarah)

- Slow and steady is better than going out and face problems

- Local efforts are important for us to go out.

Taaruf bayan (bayan Zuhur) Maulana Ilyas RAH

- One is qudratullah, one is sunnatullah.
- Without anything and any means, Allah creates things. This is qudratullah, like earth, humans, etc.
- Without prophets PBUH, Allah gives hidayat. This is qudratullah. With prophets, Allah gives hidayat. This is sunnatullah.
- When 2 things meet, Allah creates the third thing. This is sunnatullah. Like when a shopkeeper takes care of his shop, business comes in. When a blacksmith hits irons, sword is made. When man and woman have relationship, a child is born.
- When 2 forces get together, hijrah and nusrah, Allah spreads hidayat. This is sunnatullah.
- Just like sahabah RA, Muhajirin made full hijrah, and Ansar made full nusrah.
- When hijrah and nusrah are given their due rights, Allah spreads hidayat. We are unable to give due rights, but we can learn to imitate them.
- We are imitating Muhajirin. So now, we request local brothers to imitate the Ansar. (Note: Don't say "We're Muhajirin")
- Because it comes from hadith, that those who imitates a nation, they're from them.
- Who are ready to be with us for the whole 3 days?
- Who are ready to be with us for the whole day?
- Who are ready to be with us for now till Isyak?
- Who are ready to be with us for Asar till Isyak?
- Who are ready to be with us for Maghrib till Isyak?
- Who are ready to be with us for the bayan tonight?
(Note: Gradually, decrease the tashkil so that everybody is included.)

*Loose notes of what heard from Maulana Ismail, who heard it from Maulana Syahabuddin, who heard it from Miaji Mehrab, who heard it from Maulana Ilyas taaruf bayan.

Old people / orang lama

- Don’t be too pushy. Make a simple invitation.

- If he insisted on not going, have a good thought on him. Consider him an ahli zikir. E.g.: Abbas RA is too old by the time he became Muslim, so Rasul SAW taught him doa & zikir & solat tasbih.

- If he don’t go out, at least make an effort that he’ll love this effort, and not going against it. Perhaps, he’ll ask his sons & grandsons to join this effort.

- Ikram him, as if he’s our own uncle.

- If possible, get a person same age or older than him to meet him.

- Ikram his grandsons / small sons.

- Old people remembers our ikram (food, gift) better than our speech, and they like to tell it again and again to other people.

- Jangan terlalu mendesak. Ajak secara ringkas sahaja.

- Jika dia berkeras hendak menolak, bersangka baiklah. Mungkin dia ahli zikir. Abbas RA sudah lanjut umurnya semasa beliau memeluk Islam, maka Nabi SAW ajarkannya zikir dan doa dan solat tasbih.

- Jika dia tidak ikut keluar, usahakan supaya dia suka dengan usaha ini, dan tidak anti. Dengan ini, dia akan mengajak anak atau cucunya untuk keluar.

- Ikram seolah- olah dia pakcik kita sendiri.

- Jika boleh, bawa orang yang lebih kurang sama umur atau lebih tua berjumpa dengannya.

- Ikram anak- anaknya yang masih kecil atau cucunya.

- Orang- orang lama lebih mengingati ikram kita daripada bayan kita, dan mereka akan mengulang- ngulang tentang ikram kita itu kepada orang lain.

Adab Bayan

- Make doa that Allah conveys what He desires to the audience through our tongues, and that they and us can practise and convey what we heard.

- Clothes give the first impression to the audience. Avoid see –thru jubah, especially if you’re wearing shirt with picture inside

- Stand properly

- Make intention that this bayan is for the whole world

- Don’t be haste or rushing in giving bayan. Maulana Yusuf RAH always stay quiet in tafakur for 5 minutes before starting bayan. When asked, he said, “I don’t want to give bayan with my nafs.”

- It’s good to know the type of audience you’re giving bayan to.

- Fajar Bayan is the main bayan (not Maghrib as most of us thought), followed by Maghrib’s bayan, and then Asar.

- Fajar Bayan should revolve around 6 points. Asar Bayan should be about the importance of gash. Maghrib’s bayan is about the importance of this noble work.

- After presenting 5 amal, tasykil should be made again. “Who’s ready for 5 amal?”

- Solat taubat after bayan.

- Do lots of khidmat after bayan, as bayan raises one’s pride, and khidmat surpresses them.

***

- Doa semoga Allah sampaikan apa yang dikehendaki melalui lidah kita kepada majmak, dan semoga kita dan majmak dapat amal dan sampaikan.

- Pakaian memberikan impresi pertama kepada majmak. Elakkan memakai jubah atau baju yang nipis, terutamanya jika memakai baju yang bergambar di dalamnya.

- Berdiri dengan betul.

- Niatkan untuk seluruh alam.

- Jangan terburu- buru atau gopoh dalam memulakan bayan. Maulana Yusuf RAH selalunya bertafakur untuk 5 minit sebelum memulakan bayan. Bila ditanya, katanya, “Aku tidak mahu memberi bayan dengan nafsu.”

- Lebih baik jika kita tahu siapa majmak kita.

- Bayan yang paling utama ialah bayan Subuh (bukannya Maghrib seperti yang ramai beranggapan), diikuti Maghrib, dan Asar.

- Bayan Subuh berkisar mengenai 6 perkara, bayan Asar mengenai kepentingan usaha ziarah, dan bayan Maghrib mengenai kepentingan kerja dakwah.

- Selepas pembentangan 5 amal, tasykil patut dilakukan sekali lagi. “Siapa sedia untuk 5 amal?”

- Solat taubat selepas bayan.

- Lakukan banyak khidmat selepas bayan, kerana bayan menaikkan nafsu, sedangkan khidmat lebih menekan nafsu.
