If Allâh helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allâh (Alone) let believers put their trust.

Ye,study itu tidak susah..sesusah manapun aku akan terus berusaha ya Allah..Kaulah matlamatku,dunia dan akhirat..moga aku tidak lupa,amiin

Aku akan terus berusaha,yang lain aku serahkan pada-Mu..Beri aku kekuatan untuk kembali dan untuk sentiasa memperbaiki diri yang hina ini..aku akan terus berusaha ya Allah,kuatkan tekadku untuk memikul tugasku sebagai hamba-Mu,amiin

Nak Ni!!(4:125)

125.Dan siapakah yang lebih baik agamanya daripada orang yang dengan ikhlas berserah diri kepada Allah,sedang dia mengerjakan kebaikan dan mengikuti agama Ibrahim yang lurus?Dan Allah telah memilih Ibrahim menjadi kesayangan-Nya.

Fitrah Yang Perlu Dijaga

Betapa cukup difahami fitrah kejadian INSAN tetapi bukankah elok MENJAGA DIRI?Bila TERpandang,it's ok but then kalau dah lebih dari pandangan PERTAMA,mana ghadulbasyar kamu semua?

Junjungan mulia,baginda Rasulullah s.a.w dah mentioned dah 'tidak ada fitnah yang lebih besar setelah wafatku selain daripada fitnah yang berpunca daripada WANITA'

MUSLIMAT,mari menjaga DIRI=)

Akuilah hakikat kejadian DIRIMU sebagai PELEMAH iman kaum lelaki.

Renunglah pada keindahan bunga MAWAR yang unggul terjaga berpagarkan DURI sebagai bentengya.Dari kejauhan keharumannya MENCURI perhatian.Kilauan warnanya yang MEMANCAR indah menjadi tarikan.Namun,lantaran PAGARAN DURI yang berbisa itu,sang kumbang tertunduk kagum terhadap keindahan yang begitu TERJAGA hinggakan ia berfikir beberapa kali sebelum mendekatinya..

Adakah kau mahu menjadi penyebab terhumbannya lelaki ke neraka??

Ingatlah bahawa ciri2 seorang wanita solehah ialah dia tidak MELIHAT lelaki dan lelaki tidak MELIHAT kepadanya KECUALI atas urusan yang diizinkan..Sesuatu tang tertutup itu lebih indah dan berharga jika dibandingkan dengan sesuatu yang terdedah.Yang tertutup itu INDAH!Alangkah baiknya jika KAU memelihara keindahan dirimu sebagai hadiah yang kudus,suci,mahal dan berharga buat kumbang terpilih yang telah dijanjikan Allah buatmu.

Indah actually hidup ini if kita hidup bertunjangkan keredhaan Allah,berpaksi ilmu dan kebenaran,bersulam akhlak penuh menawan.Sesungguhnya wanita solehah menjadi idaman insan soleh bernama Adam.
'Wanita yang baik itu adalah untuk lelaki yang baik' (An Nur-26)

REMINDER untuk DIRI..

Terasa Jauh

Tak tertunai olehku hak2 yang begitu banyak..ya,betul kak 'Aliyyah,sangat2 betul=(

Dah lama tak jumpa Dia waktu malam,ada hijab menghalang..tapi takkan putus asa,insya-Allah..

Rindu sangat dengan surau,walaupun dah pergi..rasa nak tinggal dekat sana je,nak dengar suara imam solat berjemaah,nak dengar akhawat recite quran..rindu sangat..

Semalam pergi surau alone,best sangat dapat dengar suara orang solat jemaah,suara imam recite surah..

Memang betul dekat bilikpun boleh je perform congregation prayer but then something is different,something is missing that I just can't figure it out,dekat surau lagi nikmat macam dekat KMS and SAKTI...rindu sangat,baca quran then buat tilawah sama2 dengan akhawat yang disayangi,dengar usrah junior yang sangat2 menyentuh hati,especially when it comes to Husna,memang mantap..

Tidur surau sama2,beli nasi lemak then sahur sama2,buka puasa gabung meja as if ramailah sangat but actually memang ramaipun,then sama2 envy bila time nak hulur duit as sume compete nak bagi duit,tapi selalunya Fai sangat cepat=)..

Merajuk,terasa juga tapi terasa manisnya ukhwah tu bilamana yang seorang datang menasihat,yang seorang concern,yang seorang sangat memahami dan sanggup tolerate,senang cerita sume sangat berlapang dada..

Setiap satunya ada unique value yang tak dapat dijual beli apatah lagi nak ditukar ganti,payah nak cari dalam dunia ni..

Kita suma berjumpa dan berkenalan,semakin erat bermula di rumah-Nya..moga ukhwah ini terus mekar dan berbunga sehingga ke syurga-Nya..terima kasih kerana bergelar sahabat tersayang,sangat rindu kamu,duhai serikandi..moga Allah merahmati kamu semua dan moga dipermudahkan jihad menuntut ilmu di sana,amiin..

Walaupun Hidup 1000 Tahun

Sepohon kayu daunnya rimbun..
Lebat bunganya serta buahnya..
Walaupun hidup seribu tahun kalau tak sembahyang apa gunanya (2x)

Kisah Benar Untuk Dijadikan Ikhtibar

Seorang doktor di Amerika Syarikat telah memeluk Islam kerana beberapa keajaiban yang ditemuinya dalam penyelidikannya. Dia amat kagum dengan penemuan tersebut, sehingga tidak dapat diterima oleh akal fikiran. Dia adalah seorang doktor neurologi.

Setelah memeluk Islam, dia amat yakin akan perubatan secara Islam dan dengan itu telah membuka sebuah klinik yang bertemakan "Perubatan Melalui Al-
Qur'an". Kajian perubatan
melalui Al-Qur'an membuatkan ubat-ubatannya berteraskan apa yang terdapat di dalam Al-Qur'an. Di antara kaedah-kaedah yang digunakan termasuklah berpuasa, madu lebah, biji hitam (black seed) dan sebagainya.

Apabila ditanya bagaimana dia tertarik untuk memeluk Islam, maka doktor tersebut memberitahu bahawa semasa beliau melakukan kajian urat saraf, terdapat beberapa urat saraf di dalam otak manusia yang tidak masuki oleh darah. Padahal setiap inci otak manusia memerlukan darah yang cukup untuk berfungsi secara normal.

Setelah membuat kajian yang memakan masa, akhir
nya beliau mendapati bahawa darah tidak akan memasuki urat saraf di dalam otak manusia melainkan pada ketika seseorang itu sedang sujud semasa mengerjakan sembahyang. Urat tersebut memerlukan darah hanya untuk beberapa sukatan yang tertentu sahaja. Ini bermaksud bahawa darah hanya akan memasuki urat tersebut mengikut kadar sembahyang waktu yang diwajibkan oleh Islam. Begitulah keagungan ciptaan Allah.

Jadi barang siapa yang tidak menunaikan sembahyang, maka otaknya tidak akan dapat menerima darah yang secukupnya untuk berfungsi secara normal. Oleh yang demikian, kejadian manusia ini sebenarnya adalah untuk menganuti agama Islam 'sepenuhnya' kerana sifat fitrah kejadiannya memang telah dikaitkan oleh Allah dengan agama-Nya yang indah ini.

Kesimpulannya:

Makhluk Allah yang bergelar manusia yang tidak bersembahyang, apatah lagi yang tidak beragama Islam, walau pun akal mereka berfungsi dengan secara normal tetapi sebenarnya dalam sesuatu keadaan mereka akan kehilangan pertimbangan dalam membuat keputusan yang normal.

Justeru itu, tidak hairanlah jika manusia ini kadang kala tidak segan silu untuk melakukan perkara-perkara yang bertentangan dengan fitrah kejadiannya, walau pun akal mereka mengetahui bahawa perkara yang akan dilakukan itu adalah bersalahan dengan kehendak mereka. Inilah adalah kesan daripada ketidakupayaan otak mereka untuk mempertimbangkan akan perbuatan mereka itu secara lebih normal.

Maka dengan itu tidak hairanlah timbulnya bermacam-macam gejala-gejala sosial masyarakat masakini. Dari itu, marilah kita bersama-sama mengambil ikhtibar daripada kisah di atas. Ambillah Islam secara menyeluruh dan bukannya secara berdikit-d
ikit (Al-Baqarah:208)

“Sembahyang itu adalah tiang agama, maka sesiapa yang mendirikannya bererti dia telah menegakkan agamanya. Kemudian sesiapa yang meninggalkannya bererti dia telah meruntuhkan agamanya” (Riwayat Baihaqi)

Akhir-akhir Ini..

~credits to falah.fotopages.com~

Sejak akhir2 ni,diri selalu sangat blurted out doa rabithah..jiwa terasa sebak bila baca entry rakan2 y dilanda krisis 'jiwa kosong'..dan diri pun sedang mengalaminya=(..mungkin sangat rindu pada akhawat yang disayangi serta pada anak2 usrah back in KMS..moga Allah membuka semua pintu2 hikmah untuk kita,moga dapat membezakan yang haq dari yang batil,amiin=)..moga suatu hari nanti,dapat bertemu dan bersama2 membina dan menghidupkan bi'ah solehah,insya-Allah..

Hati ini telah bersatu berkumpul di perut bumimu
Hati ini telah berpadu bersatu memikul beban dakwahmu
Hati ini telah mengikat setia untuk mendaulat untuk mendokong
Syariat-Mu di alam maya
Maka ya Allah eratkanlah ikatan yang ada (2x)

Kekalkan kemesraan yang ada
Tunjukkanlah jalan yang benar
Tunjukkanlah dengan cahaya-Mu
Tiada malap terangi alam-Mu
Hidup suburkanlah dengan ma'rifat-Mu
Tapi jika ingin mematikannya
Matikanlah sebagai syuhada'
Dalam perjuangan menegakkan agama yang mulia (2x)

Teringat pesan seorang sahabat tatkala diri dilanda krisis iman,'berimanlah dengan ayat2-Nya'..Dan juga ada riwayat mengatakan 'bacalah Al-Quran jika ingin mendengar kata2 Allah,solatlah jika ingin berkata2 dengan-Nya'

~diri masih belajar,atas kecintaan pada ilmu,betulkanlah saya sekiranya salah=)~

Alhamdulillah=)

Hari ni pergi ke Dataran Pahlawan to make sure that yin's broadband is working and well-functioned.Alhamdulillah,all the way to Melaka Central nothing get in the way and we (tiqah,haziqah,tasha n her friend-eventually I forgot her name) arrived there safe n sound.

At first,when that broadband was plugged in to my laptop,my kaspersky seemed to block the installation process as the files were to copy into a hidden file bla bla leading to an unsuccessful attempt.But when plugged in to the computer and laptop of Blue Cube's,nothing seemed to be wrong.

Its status:connected plus with HSDPA

I didn't bring the power adapter,with a battery happened to be in a critical state,I decided to go back and come again the next day.

But alhamdulillah,praise be upon Him,The Most Merciful God,when I tried to install it again at the hostel,it happened to be a successful one=)..alhamdulillah,alhamdulillah..Allah tu sangat baik kan?Terima kasih ya Allah..alhamdulillah=))

Dakwah & Dakyah:Two Different Things


Assalamualaikum my friends,
I would like to share with you the sadness my husband and I encounter on Friday,7th December.We received an envelope,handwritten with my husband's name on it posted to us.In the envelope contained a very small book.At first glance,the book entitled 'Who is Allah',looked very innocent,we thought it was from the mosque or some Muslim organizations.The content of the book is a comic .Finding the approach was very interesting,my hubby started reading that book.However,to his surprise,it was deliberately written to spoil the image of Allah.The book was written with the intention to state that Allah is a fraud and that Christianity or rather Jesus is the the true God of Eternity.Dear Sis and Bro,I've attached some of the segments in the book for you.When I read the book,both my husband and I cried.We could not believe that this malicious book could ever be produced and the intention of the sender to send it to a Muslim is really mean and unjust.Dear Sis and Bro,can you imagine if our children get hold of such books and soon believed in it?Wallahualam.Especially those whose parents are ignorant about what their children are reading.This kind of print or any similar prints are like water dripping into a stone .As more and more of such prints are made and more of our young Muslims were to read them ,slowly this untrue fact will be embedded.Before this happen,educate your children ukhrawi and made known to them that there are malicious people who just want to sway their iman.As for me,my husband is still considering a police report.But we are trying to make our friends aware of this malicious attempt by irresponsible and hateful person.

Those were the content of the e-mail I've got on 13 February 2008,but due to very poor internet connections,only today had I able to fully load them all..For me,it is rightful to preach about our religion with the absence of dirty ways such as manipulating plus twisting the teachings of other religion.There are many ways to preach without the necessity to do such thing,the approach is there but then only the way they uphold their religion is not a very rightful things as if they have not learn the manner to preach with wisdom and truthful.If they are the truth-seeker,they wouldn't commit such attempt.

Even though,we are different in our faith,it is still valid and relevant to live together in harmony and carry out the preach as long as we did it the rightful way and for the sake of finding the truth.Also,the verses written in those comics all had its own 'sebab2 penurunan'/asbabunnuzul.

Do not play with words of Allah out of making fun about Islam.We as daie of Islam did preach with honor and we lead our way as daie based on the rightful way.For example,we did discuss about the contradictions in the Bible but we did it out of for the sake of seeking the truth plus we did it with dignity,without going against the law of manner.We didn't told lies when it comes to Islam,it is all depends on the person himself whether he want to believe or vice versa.Forcing is just not our way of convincing others into Islam (2:256) and indeed,we believe sesungguhya agama yang diredhai di sisi Allah ialah Islam (3:19)..

Sek. pagi vs Sek. petang

"Mak,arini x nak gi sekolah petang?Alah,arini x belajar pun."

That's the common sentence used to persuade a mother so that this child can be allowed to skip attending religious school during afternoon session.

Rural students very often only take the morning school session into account and neglecting the afternoon one.Maybe the teachers in the afternoon school aren't firm and the students are no longer afraid of being scolded by teachers.

When I was filling in the form to pursue my studies after UPSR,I was desperately longing to enroll at religious school as I want to enhance my Islamic knowledge but then the luck wasn't on my side as I got zero offer from SBP only from SAKTI,a science school.

And I was upset actually with my younger brother as he was having the chance to continue his studies as he was offered to attend a religious class from a religious school nearby but he rejected the offer saying he got a lot to cope in SMSJ..Apalagi,membebel lah saya mase tuh..

In my area,most of the boys are not interested in attending afternoon school and this scenario also dragging my youngest brother along as his attendance will always never ever in fully-attended state each week,driving me nuts=((

If I was at home,I'll force him to go regardless of his crying in his cracked voice muttering his friends weren't attending school,he didn't have friends etc,I didn't care,I dragged him along and sent him right away riding on our motorcycle.Along the way,I kind of kesian plak but then I kept firm at heart advicing him about the obligation to learn obligatory subject at afternoon school..Ukhrawi nih,bile lagi nak belajar

A very good example of today's men,x payah tengok jauh2,tengok adik sendiri cukup..

Kecik2 dah main handset,sms 24 jam,aish giving me a headache.sigh..Time exam,the youngest one tu x pernah nampak pegang buku,it's all depends (macam critical thinking pulak) on his mood,kalau mood rajin rajinlah dia,kalau x selamat tinggallah buku,x disentuh langsung..Sampai cikgunya kata dia ni 10 fold malas dari abang dia,kot=))..

But yesterday I was very happy coz of one headline stating that rural students outshine urbanites.Very often urbanites are very dominant but this year the rural students have unseat urbanites from the throne=)).Nothing is impossible right?chuckle

Dulu,saya selalu dengar orang kata nak jaga daughter payah,tapi sekarang saya pun nak buat statement,nak jaga adik lelaki lagi payah,berbuih2 air liur ni..keluar segala bunga2 taekwondo saya barulah nak obey.kalau x jangan harap..

And not to mention girls nowadays seems to have less sense of to be shy towards guys,miss calls and etc..Ya Allah,the world has turn upside down,whom to be blame?Things to ponder upon..

Way to Go

I was and am very proud of George Galloway for his kindness and firm actions of giving away his personal donations to Hamas government stating that Hamas is selected by Palestinians people and he won't apologize for that.

He donated his personal donations of RM127k and a number of vehicles to Ziad al-Zaza,challenging West to accuse him of helping Hamas,the West so-called terrorist.

A very brave statement and the second after Erdogan's..who's next?

Fiqah vs Faqih

Being a daie,most of the time we forget to revise on ourselves whether we have done or implement all the knowledge that we have learnt,that we have know without noticing that we are only cakap x serupa bikin..

Dearself,you aren't faqih yet but you are only a pembawa fiqah=(

Yeah,maybe you are only a superfluous sweet talker,reciting all the verses,hadith you know to convince people so that they accept your advice,ideas whatsoever but have you ever practice all the things that you told others?I bet not=((

Of course when comparing yourself to certain people it it very obvious that you seem to be someone with deep knowledge in Islam etc but then very often someone whom look simpler yet practicing all the fundamentals is thousand times better than you.

I feel sorry for you dearself,your knowledge doesn't inculcate the feeling to sense His presence when you are going to commit wrongdoings,again you repeat the same sinful mistakes despite you already know that Islam has prohibits it.Shame on you poor self..

You feel so mad towards those whom making fool out of Islam yet you are always playing favourites when it comes to yourself..I feel so sorry for you..Very pathetic!

Have you ever think about the words of Al Faruq..Ikhtabir alima al-lisan (uji dulu orang alim)..To select a leader,this method is carry out on the potential person within 2 years time..And still that person isn't quaranteed for the post!I think you should try it on first..I don't want to be only a pembawa fiqah but I want to be faqih!Yes,that's your mission..Prove that you are not just a sweet-talker daie but you are a practitioner of Islam,you are not only a Muslim by name yet you are a full time Muslim..

Don't be a hypocrite Muslim!Bring yourself into Islam as a whole (Al-Baqarah:208) not just picking one that suits you and sideline the one that outdated according to your secular mind..Bear in mind that orang yang membawa fiqah x semestinya seorang yang faqih (hadith)

It's been more than 2 decades you live in His world,so you have to devote yourself to Him because sesungguhya solatku,ibadahku,hidupku dan matiku hanya kerana Allah..fight for Him and for His Messenger,insya-Allah.~Allahumma faqqihna fiddiin~

Dua 'Umar

I love both Al Faruq and `Umar Abdul Aziz very much.

His mother (‘Umar Abdul Aziz) is Layla, Ummu ‘Asim the daughter of ‘Asim, the son of ‘Umar Ibnul Khattab. His lineage goes back to the Amir of The Believers Al-Faruq (‘Umar) may Allah raise his rank.” He inherited lots of the good traits and manners of his great grandfather (from his mothers side) ‘Umar Ibnul Khattab such as: Supporting the truth, justice, God-fearing and piety.

Layla was the daughter of ‘Asim and the milk-seller-lady daughter,whom her mother told her to mix the milk with water but then she refused saying the God of`Amir of the Believers will know,opposing her mother words that 'Amir of the Believers will know nothing about their wrongdoings.Upon hearing this during his walk at night, ‘Umar Ibnul Khattab asked this lady’s hand for his son, ‘Asim.

An animal hit him once leaving a scar in his face, his father said while wiping the blood off his face: “If you were to be the one with a scar, then you would be the happiest among the Umaiyyads.” ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattab used to say: “There will be among my off-springs a man with a scar in his face who will fill the earth with justice same as it was filled with injustice and oppression.”

He made his slogan zuhd (being detached from the worldly interests) and keeping himself away from the vanished pleasures of this world. Malik Ibn Dinar said: When ‘Umar Ibn ‘Abdul ‘Aziz was entrusted to the Caliphate the shepherds in the hills of the mountains said: “Who is the righteous caliph that has been appointed to look after the people ?” Some said to them: “Who told you about that?”. They said: “Because, if a righteous caliph was to be appointed to look after the people, then the wolves and lions would leave off our sheep.”

Once he was late for Jumaah Salaat. When the people inquired as to why he was late, he explained that he only had one shirt to wear, which at that time was being washed and dried in preparation for Jumaah. Subhana-Allah. Another story further illustrates the poverty this great man lived in to ensure his book of deeds was devoid of any action which might work against him on the Day of Judgment. He queried the minister of finance to see how much money he had in his possession. The minister informed him he had a total of two dirham. Later, when more revenue came in, the financial minister gave him the glad tidings of improved financial conditions. Umar ibn Abdul Aziz ordered him to give the money to the people, stating his family had taken enough for themselves, and that it was time to pay it back. His love of poverty reached such an extent that the Amirul Mumineen didn’t have enough money to perform his own Hajj.

It’s often said that if those in power correct their inner selves, adopt a life of piety, and wear cloaks of scrupulousness to guard against the evils of Satan, the common people will soon follow.He moved swiftly to effectuate changes in a society of decaying morals and steadily decreasing standards of piety and righteousness. He ordered that the land the Ummayads had seized returned to the rightful owners. In the two and a half years of the Caliph Umar ibn Abdul Aziz’s leadership, the corruption accepted and implemented by his predecessors was eradicated from society. Those who used to engage in idle talk regarding worldly pleasures and strive to outdo each other in material gain turned to striving to outdo each other in acts of piety. His immediate family wasn’t exempt from the stringent standards he laid down for himself. He gave his wife an ultimatum; either she would part with the wealth her father had gifted her with, or part with him. She chose the greater treasure, Umar ibn Abdul Aziz.

What would have seemed impossible in earlier times, Allah made reality under the command of Umar ibn Abdul Aziz. Truly, he was a beloved of Allah. His influence was such that it extended to even animals – predators and prey grazed the lands in harmony with each other. A sheep had nothing to fear from a wolf during the lifetime of Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz. It is said that the Prophet (SAW) prophesized that a day would come when none would be eligible for zakaat. Many ulema say this event took place during the reign of Caliph Umar ibn Abdul Aziz. Today, when we think of Africa, we associate the continent with poverty. When Umar ibn Abdul Aziz commissioned one of his ministers to distribute zakaat, there wasn’t a single man in North Africa who was in need of this charity.

All of this change took place in there mere space of two years and five months. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal declared him to be the revivalist of the first century after Hijrah, and history proves nothing less. He was a selfless man devoted to the revival of the sunnah, and his accomplishments in the way of Islam have not been since replicated by rulers with double or triple the time in office. Allah helps those whose only aim is to earn his pleasure. Naturally a man of his caliber, with his sincerity and ability in enjoining the good and forbidding evil, had many bitter enemies. Many of them were amongst the Ummayads themselves. In 720 AH, the Umayyads murdered the Caliph Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, using a slave who was commissioned to poison him. At the time of his death, he instructed his family to leave the home. After their departure, he bathed and lay down on his resting place. When they returned, they saw that the Allah had called the great caliph home. When he was buried, a note floated from the sky and came to rest on his grave. It read: Baraatum liUmar Ibn Abdul.May Allah bless him.

As for Al Faruq,

`Umar was the closed door between the Prophet’s Community and the onset of dissension. His death is one of the earliest signs of the Hour. One day he asked Hudhayfa about the "dissension that shall surge like the waves of the sea" according to the Prophet’s own terms. Hudhayfa answered: "You need not worry about it, for between you and it there is a gate closed shut." `Umar said: "Will the gate be opened or broken?" Hudhayfa said: "Broken!" `Umar replied: "That is more appropriate than that it be let open." The narrator [Abu Wa’il] said: "We feared to ask Hudhayfa who was that gate, so we sent Masruq to ask him and he said: That gate was `Umar."

`Umar al-Faruq was second only to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq in closeness to and approval from the Prophet. The latter said: "I have two ministers from the inhabitants of the heaven and two ministers from the inhabitants of the earth. The former are Jibril and Mika’il, and the latter are Abu Bakr and `Umar." He said of the latter: "These two are [my] hearing and eyesight" and instructed the Companions: "Follow those that come after me: Abu Bakr and `Umar."

He was unique in his power of separating truth from falsehood and the Prophet conferred on him the title of al-Fârûq, saying: "In truth, the devil certainly parts ways with `Umar."

`Umar was given the gift of true inspiration which is the characteristic of Allah’s Friends named kashf or "unveiling." The Prophet said: "In the nations long before you were people who were spoken to [by the angels] although they were not prophets. If there is anyone of them in my Community, truly it is `Umar ibn al-Khattab."

This narration is elucidated by the two narrations whereby "Allah has engraved truth on the tongue of `Umar and his heart" and "If there were a Prophet after me verily it would be `Umar." Al-Tirmidhi said that according to Ibn `Uyayna "spoken to" (muhaddathûn) means "made to understand" (mufahhamûn), while in his narration Muslim added: "Ibn Wahb explained ‘spoken to’ as ‘inspired’ (mulham)." This is the majority’s opinion according to Ibn Hajar who said: "‘Spoken to’ means ‘by the angels’." Al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar said respectively in Sharh Sahih Muslim and Fath al-Bari:

The scholars have differed concerning "spoken to." Ibn Wahb said it meant "inspired" (mulham). It was said also: "Those who are right, and when they give an opinion it is as if they were spoken to, and then they give their opinion. It was said also: "The angels speak to them..." Bukhari said: "Truth comes from their tongues." This hadith contains a confirmation of the miracles of the saints (karâmât al-awliya).

The one among [Muslims] who is "spoken to," if his existence is ascertained, what befalls him is not used as basis for a legal judgment, rather he is obliged to evaluate it with the Qur’an, and if it conforms to it or to the Sunna, he acts upon it, otherwise he leaves it.

`Umar also had the unique distinction of having his views confirmed by the revelation in the Holy Qur’an: He said three things which were confirmed by subsequent revelations:

I concurred with my Lord in three matters: I said to the Prophet: "O Messenger of Allah! Why do we not pray behind Ibrahim’s Station?" Whereupon was revealed the verse: ". . . Take as your place of worship the place where Ibrahim stood (to pray). . ." (2:125); I said: "O Messenger of Allah! You should order your wives to cover because both the chaste and the wicked go in to see them," whereupon was revealed the verse: "... And when you ask of them (the wives of the Prophet) anything, ask it of them from behind a curtain. . ." (33:53) Then the Prophet’s wives banded together in their jealousy over him, so I said to them: "It may happen that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him instead wives better than you, [submissive (to Allah), believing, pious, penitent, inclined to fasting, widows and maids]." (67:5) Whereupon was revealed that verse.

Each time I read stories about them,my love keeps getting stronger and inspired me to follow in their footsteps.May Allah bless them,the Two ‘Umar.

Perisai Rasulullah di Uhud

Umm ‘Umara telah dirahmati dengan pelbagai kehormatan, antaranya adalah kehadiran beliau di Uhud, al-Hudaibiyyah, Khaibar, Hunain dan Peperangan Yamama. Namun peranan beliau yang paling mulia adalah ketika Peperangan Uhud. Umm ‘Umara telah menyertai peperangan tersebut bersama suaminya, Ghaziya, berserta dua orang anak lelaki beliau. Tugas yang dipertanggungjawabkan ke atas beliau adalah untuk memberi air kepada para Mujahid yang cedera. Akan tetapi Allah SWT telah menetapkan satu peranan yang lebih besar dan mulia untuk beliau.


Maka beliau pun mengatur langkah bersama-sama dengan keluarga beliau dengan sebuah bekas kulit buat mengisi air. Mereka tiba di medan perang pada awal pagi hari. Tentera Islam, ketika itu, sedang menguasai peperangan dan beliau telah pergi melihat keadaan Rasulullah SAW. Pada masa yang sama sebilangan Tentera Islam telah membuat satu kesilapan yang teramat besar - melihatkan tentera Quraish berundur, mereka mula berkejaran mendapatkan harta-benda rampasan perang, melanggar arahan Rasulullah SAW supaya tetap di posisi mereka di atas bukit. Khalib bin Walid, (yang ketika itu belum lagi memeluk Islam), apabila melihat benteng pertahanan yang telah terbuka itu lantas mengepalai serangan-balas ke atas Tentera Islam. Penguasaan peperangan beralih kepada pihak Quraish. Dalam suasana kelam-kabut itu, ramai dari kalangan Tentera Islam panik dan berundur, meninggalkan Rasulullah SAW bersama-sama sekumpulan kecil para Sahabat RA. Di kalangan mereka ini termasuklah Umm ‘Umara.

Melihatkan ramai dari kalangan Tentera Islam yang berundur, Umm ‘Umara lantas berlari ke arah Rasulullah SAW dan mengangkat senjata demi mempertahankan baginda SAW, bersama-sama dengan suami dan kedua anak lelakinya. Rasulullah SAW menyedari yang Umm ‘Umara tidak mempunyai perisai lantas baginda SAW mengarahkan salah seorang daripada mereka yang sedang berundur supaya memberikan perisainya kepada Umm ‘Umara yang sedang bertarung. Setelah mendapat perisai tersebut, Umm ‘Umara mempertahankan Rasulullah SAW menggunakannya bersama-sama dengan busur, anak panah dan juga pedang. Umm ‘Umara diserang oleh tentera berkuda tetapi beliau tidak sekalipun gentar atau berasa gerun. Beliau kemudiannya telah berkata, “Sekiranya mereka itu tidak berkuda seperti kami, nescaya telah kami hancurkan mereka, insha-Allah.”

Abdullah ibn Zayed, anak lelaki beliau, telah mengalami kecederaan ketika peperaang tersebut. Lukanya itu berdarah dengan banyak sekali. Ibunya berlari kepadanya dan membalut lukanya itu. Kemudian Umm ‘Umara memerintahkan anak lelakinya itu, “Maralah dan perangi mereka, anakku!” Rasulullah SAW mengagumi semangat pengorbanan beliau dan telah memuji beliau, “Siapakah yang boleh menanggung apa yang kamu mampu tanggung, Umm ‘Umara!”

Tiba-tiba lelaki yang telah mencederakan anak lelakinya mara dan Rasulullah SAW berkata kepada beliau bahawa inilah lelaki yang mencederakan anaknya. Umm ‘Umara dengan berani mencabar lelaki tersebut, yang menurut anak Umm ‘Umara sendiri, adalah seperti perdu pokok yang besar. Umm ‘Umara mencederakan kaki musuhnya itu, menjatuhkannya sehingga berlutut. Rasulullah SAW tersenyum sehingga menampakkan gigi baginda SAW dan berkata, “Kamu telah membalasnya, Umm ‘Umara!” Setelah lelaki tersebut ditewaskan, Rasulullah SAW kemudiannya berkata “Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah memberikan kamu kemenangan dan menggembirakan kamu atas musuh kamu dan membolehkan kamu menuntut bela.”

Pada satu ketika, Rasulullah SAW telah keseorangan. Melihat peluang keemasan itu, pihak musuh, Ibn Qumay’a segera menyerang Rasulullah SAW sambil menjerit “Tunjukkan Muhammad padaku! Aku takkan selamat sekiranya dia diselamatkan!”. Lantas Mus’ab ibn ‘Umayr, bersama-sama dengan beberapa orang sahabat yang lain, bergegas mempertahankan Rasulullah SAW. Umm ‘Umara yang turut bersama-sama dengan mereka terus menetak musuh Allah itu, walaupun dia memakai dua lapis baju besi. Ibn Qumay’a berjaya menetakkan bahagian leher Umm ‘Umara, meninggalkan luka yang teruk. Rasulullah SAW terus memanggil anak lelaki Umm ‘Umara, mengarahkannya membalut luka ibunya sambil mendoakan kerahmatan dan kesejahteraan ke atas mereka dan menyatakan kemuliaan mereka. Umm ‘Umara, bila menyedari yang Rasulullah SAW menyukai kesungguhan dan keberanian beliau, lantas meminta Rasulullah SAW supaya berdoa agar mereka dijadikan Allah di kalangan sahabat-sahabat Rasulullah SAW di syurga nanti. Selepas Rasulullah SAW berdoa, Umm ‘Umara lantas berkata, “Aku tidak pedulikan apa sahaja yang menimpaku di dunia ini!”

Pada hari tersebut, Umm ‘Umara menerima tiga belas luka dan luka di lehernya terpaksa dirawat selama setahun. Beliau kemudiannya juga menyertai Peperangan Yamama, di mana beliau menerima sebelas luka dan kehilangan tangan.

Keberanian Umm ‘Umara menyebabkan semua para Sahabat RA mennghormati beliau, terutamanya para Khalifah yang akan menziarahi beliau dan sentiasa mengambil berat tentang keadaan beliau. Umar ibn Khattab RA telah menerima kain-kain sutera yang sangat bagus buatannya. Salah seorang yang berada di situ berkata bahawa kain tersebut sangat mahal dan Umar RA patut memberikannya kepada isteri Abdullah ibn Umar, Safiyya bint Abu ‘Ubayd. Umar RA walaubagaimanapun tidak mahu memberikan kain yang sedemikian kepada menantunya. “Ini adalah sesuatu yang tidak akan kuberikan kepada ibn Umar. Aku akan berikannya kepada seseorang yang lebih berhak keatasnya - Umm ‘Umara Nusayba bint Ka’b.” Umar RA kemudian menceritakan bagaimana ketika Peperangan Uhud, beliau mendengar Rasulullah berkata bahawa apabila baginda SAW melihat ke kiri mahupun ke kanan, baginda nampak Umm ‘Umara sedang bertarung di hadapan baginda SAW.

Inilah kehidupan Umm ‘Umara, pejuang yang tetap berdiri apabila ramai yang berundur, yang mengarahkan anaknya yang cedera parah kembali menyertai peperangan yang sengit, dan yang bersedia menggadaikan nyawanya demi menyelamatkan Rasulullah SAW. Sebagai balasan, beliau menerima doa agar dijadikan di kalangan sahabat Rasulullah SAW di syurga.

Moga Allah SWT merahmati para Muslimah kita dengan keberanian, semangat pengorbanan dan istiqamah yang sedemikian seteguh cinta & kasih Umm ‘Umara kepada kekasih Allah,Muhammad bin Abdullah.Amiin.
