Love from Allah?

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَـنُ وُدّاً

Verily, those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Gracious will bestow love for them

Surah maryam verse 96

ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet said,

«إِذَا أَحَبَّ اللهُ عَبْدًا نَادَى جِبْرِيلَ: إِنِّي قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ فُلَانًا

فَأَحِبَّهُ، فَيُنَادِي فِي السَّمَاءِ، ثُمَّ يُنْزِلُ لَهُ الْمَحَبَّةَ فِي أَهْلِ

الْأَرْضِ، فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ:

[إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَـنُ وُدّاً ]

(Whenever Allah loves a servant of His, He calls Jibril (saying), "Verily, I love so-and-so, so love him.'' Then, Jibril calls out into the heavens and love for him descends among the people of the earth. That is the meaning of the statement of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: (Verily, those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the Most Gracious will bestow love for them.)) [19:96] This was also reported by Muslim and At-Tirmidhi and At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih.''

Sometimes we have assess or re-examine ourself if people around us not like us anymore. may be this got something to do with our relation with The Most Merciful.

Who knows we might hurt our beloved God by doing sins over and over again until we feel 'comfortable' in that kind of situation and suddenly something struck you........

at that time for sure you will regret the sins that you have done.

His forgiveness is unmeasurable and unthinkable. May Allah forgive us all and replace what we couldn't get with something even better or best!!!

Oh People of understanding, don't regret for what you couldn't get or achieved. Have faith that Allah knows what is good and bad for you. Allah says that life is to test which of us is better in deeds.

And indeed Allah is not the one who leaves us but actually we are the one who abandon ourself.

May Allah grants us strength, forgiveness and tranquillity in our heart so that we can strive over this life, worshipping Him and spread His message throughout this land.

10 Nasihat Untuk Orang Bercinta

Berikut adalah nasihat-nasihat berguna untuk orang-orang yang bercinta:

1. Janganlah kau membiarkan kemanisan bercinta dihirup sebelum engkau berkahwin dengan 'si dia'.

2. Bercintalah kau dengan nya dengan sekadarnya. Kelak mungkin 'si dia' mungkin bukan jodoh untukmu.

3. Jika kau ingin berbahagia seumur hidup, tahanlah dirimu untuk berbahagia sebelum kau berhak menjadi milik 'si dia'.

4. Jika engkau menyintainya, binalah asas perkahwinan dengan tidak melaggar syariatNYA.

5. Kebahagiaan yang kau lihat sebelum berkahwin hanya palsu, yang hakikinya adalah selepas kau diijabkabulkan.

6. Jikalau engkau inginkan pasangan hidupmu yang terbaik untukmu, maka engkaulah yang patut menjadi yang terbaik dahulu.

7. Membina keserasian sebelum berkahwin bukanlah dengan cara ber'dating', cukuplah sekadar engkau tahu apa yang perlu kau tahu.

8. Bercintalah untuk mencapai cintaNYA. (theoretically sounds good but practically?)

9. Jika engkau masih belum bercinta, tahanlah dirimu untuk bercinta sehingga yakin cinta tersebut membawamu ke gerbang perkahwinan.

10. Jangan biarkan nafsumu dengan cinta yang tidak diterima disisi ALLAH, kelak ALLAH akan tarik kebahagian darimu.

11. Biarpun sejuta kali hati terluka, namun begitu mudah kemaafan diberi (Tengok sahaja adik beradik, suami isteri etc)

Dakwah is not The one and Only

assalamualaikum

my post today sounds a bit awkward isn’t it? Well what can i really I’m now deviating myself from the true message and making my own fatwa haha. Just joking

not really. What I meant by that actually is why people must look at the word dakwah through a narrow perspective.

Yesterday I had a long discussion from Jamaahtul tabligh from Malaysia. The one that i talked too is quite knowledgeable and he was being reasonable in answering my question. At the end I did learn something from him and he did agree with my suggestion in term of dakwah, ghash, bida’ah and wisdom in preaching the islam to the muslims.

They term their ghash as going out to seclude yourself in a mesjid and do call upon the locals to do amar makruf nahi mungkar. Although what they are doing “ ta’awwanu a’la birri wat taqwa” is based on quran but there is no evidence showing that one person should go out (seclude oneself and do iktikaf) for three day, or 3 month etc. Besides, they also quote that the sahabah went out from madinah to spread the message of islam. But which one comes first, the dakwah or the knowledge? Read properly the stories of Prophet Muhammad saw, the sahabah and the four imams.

I’m not here to condemn them or to fire-up hatred among the jamaat and me, rather i see them as my brother in islam and whatever group they belong to, this is not a reason why i must be quite if something not right happening in front of my eyes. And for what that’s right, i acknowledge and put my complement.

Anyway that is not what i’m going to talk about.

Dakwah mean to deliver and i don’t agree to some group claiming that only

“This method is right, that’s not.”

“We are right and you are not.”

“Look at our way doing the dakwah and yet we never see you doing it”

Allah created people differently and the message of islam is universal.

As long the dakwah is based on authentic sources (al-quran and authentic sunnah) that’s fine.

Whoever you are, whether you are sufi , tablighi jamaat or wahabi if you grip this principle you’re on the right track.

Wasalam
