BERKENAAN: URUSAN SYAHADAH ASLIAH TAHUN 2008

 

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb.

 
Di harapkan semua yang berada di Singapura dalam keadaan sihat sejahtera.

Dengan ini dimaklumkan bahawa pihak kami memohon jutaan maaf kerana tidak dapat/tidak sempat menyelesaikan syahadah asliah kalian. 

 
Ini disebabkan beberapa perkara:

 1. Pada asalnya, urusan syahadah asliah bagi pelajar-pelajar muhafazah tidak boleh dimulakan sekarang. Pihak Al-Azhar lebih mengutamakan pelajar di Cairo (itupun tawkil di cairo hanya boleh mula pada bulan disember 2008). Maka, urusan syahadah untuk pelajar muhafazah hanya boleh dimulakan pada tahun hadapan. (sekiranya anda mewakilkan orang lain untuk buatkan ianya bagi pihak anda)

2. Sementara ini hanya kami (yang ‘stay a bit longer’) yang dapat menyelesaikan urusan syahadah asliah milik kami SAHAJA (itupun setelah merayu dan dimarahi dan sehingga sekarang masih belum selesai sepenuhnya). Kami cuba untuk menguruskan syahadah yang lain tapi pihak Al-Azhar tidak melayan kami.


CADANGAN/USULAN:

1. Kalian boleh cuba untuk membuat sendiri syahadah kalian dengan datang semula ke Mesir bermula tahun hadapan, sebaik-baiknya lepas fasl thani-INIPUN KEMUNGKINAN, TIDAK SEMESTINYA BOLEH. (sekiranya kalian bersetuju untuk datang dan menguruskan sendiri; sebarang syahadah muaqotah, duit sebanyak LE250, gambar dan salinan passport akan diberikan pada kalian sejurus selepas pihak kami pulang ke Singapura tanggal 20 disember 2008.)

ATAU
2. Kalian boleh cuba untuk mewakilkan pada orang lain( tidak semestinya mandubah).(sebaiknya bukan mandubah) Ini dengan syarat:

- kalian harus memilih sendiri wakil (samaada pelajar alex, cairo dll)

- kalian perlu bertanyakan sendiri dan berbincang pada bakal wakil kalian, adakah beliau bersetuju atau tidak

- menyediakan surat ‘authorisation’ dan surat tersebut perlu diserahkan pada wakil

- bagi wakil pula, sebaik-baiknya adakan surat daripada embassy singapura

- diharapkan bagi yang mewakilkan, supaya tidak terlalu cerewet dan ‘demanding’ kerana urusan syahadah terutamanya syahadah yang diwakilkan tidak mudah.

 

PENDAPAT PERIBADI:

Bagi pihak kami, adalah lebih elok sekiranya kalian dapat membuat sendiri syahadah. Kerana ianya lebih mudah berbanding dengan mewakilkan kepada orang lain. Cuma kami faham sekiranya adalah satu beban untuk kalian ke sini semula. Wallahua’lam.

 

P/S: HARAP BERIKAN RESPON ANDA (adakah kalian mahu menguruskan sendiri atau mahu mewakilkan. Bagi yang mahu mewakilkan harap sertakan sekali nama wakil anda.) SELEWAT-LEWATNTYA 12 DISEMBER 2008. RESPON ANDA BOLEH DIKIRIM LEWAT EMAIL : sibawaih_cyber@yahoo..com.sg atau sms terus ke: +20105518247 / +20167584724 / +20107807182. Sekian terima kasih.

Sharing session,

Salam semua..

cerita terbaru dari keluarga alex ialah pada hari jumaat yang lalu iaitu tanggal 7 haribulan November bersamaan 8 Zulkaedah kami telah mengadakan perjumpaan beramai-ramai di rumah ‘astaghfirullah’ untuk sesi taaruf dan ‘sharing session’. Bermula pada pukul 3.30 petang dan tujuan perjumpaan ini diadakan adalah untuk merapatkan ukhuwah antara seniors dan juniors kerana terdapat seniors yg baru pulang ke pangkuan alex. Berikut adalah aturcara majlis:

3.30 petang: selepas menuang air teh panas, naibah mandubah kami kak Sarah Umairah membuka acara dgn sepatah dua kata





3.40 petang: sesi taaruf pun dimulakan oleh mandubah kami kemudian dia mencampak beruang kecil secara rambang kemudian orang tersebut harus mengenalkan diri dan memberitahu sesuatu perkara tentang dirinya yang orang lain tidak tahu.

4.10 petang: Mandubah pun menerangkan penyusunan program yg telah dan akan dijalankan di alex sepanjang tahun antaranya REHLAH dimana ianya sgt sgt sgt dinantikan oleh semua kerana akan dilakukan setelah penat lelah memerah otak dan tenaga waktu peperiksaan.

4.30 petang : sesi ‘sharing session’ pun dimulakan. Walaupun pada mulanya kelihatan boring, bosan dan kurang sambutan tetapi, semakin lama semakin rancak sehingga ada yg sampai menitiskan air mata dan ada juga yang melempiaskan perasaan geram yang terpendam sekian lama.





Berikut adalah petikan dialog yang sempat dicatit:

Kak umai: “Yana, nk share pape dgn kite semua? Mcmne perasaan waktu baru2 smpi alex?”

Yana: *dah mula sebak* “waktu ana baru2 smpi ana mmg tkleh terima kene duduk sorang2 tapi lama2 ana Nampak hikmahnye. Allah tarik kawan2 ana tapi Dia ganti dgn kakak2 senior. Tapi~….sob`sob *dah mula menitiskan air mata* sekejap aje….sobbb`soobbbb *semakin deras air matanya* ramai yg…..dah….balik…. *teros dipeluk oleh kak sakinah yg duduk di sebelahnya.

Kak umai: memang kat mesir ni kene banyak bersabar. Lagi2 dgn kwn sendiri. Memanglah nak tegur kwn tu sussah lagi2 kwn rapat tapi mestilah dengan hikmah. Contonhye kita mulakan dgn diri sendiri.

Kak Zurainah: TAPI, CAMNE PULAK DGN ORG YG DEGIL N TAK PHM2 BAHASA??!!!! *dgn tiba2 dia emosi*
(Tetapi keadaan kak zu yg sdg emosi itulah yg membuat kami terkekek-kekek ketawa. Kak zu klaka beb wa ckp sama lu~)




Insyirah Feera: sebenarnye kan, kite kene pandang dari sudut positif….

Dialog pun berterusannnnnnn sehinggalah …….
“ALLAHUAKBAR ALLAHUAKBAR~~” *azan maghrib*
Dengan berat hati, ‘sharing session’ ini terpaksa diberhentikan tapi insyaAllah di lain kesempatan akan diadakan lagi.
Selepas solat maghrib berjemaah….

5.30 petang: setiap majlis takkan sah klw tak makannnnn~~~~

Eh eh eh eh eh kejap~ sebelum tuu ade surpriseee~ haah~surprise?????!!!!

Rupa-rupanya ada birthday kek utk November babies termasuk skali satu oktober baby~

Acara pun berakhir dgn perut masing-masing yg sudah berisi dan kalori dlm badan pun semakin bertambah. Perut kenyang hati banyak senang wooo~

Akhir kata, Diantara objektif ‘sharing session’ ni diadakan ialah, di samping mengeratkan silaturrahim,kita juga dapat saling kenal-mengenali antara satu sama lain dgn lebih rapat lagi. Juga Saling bertukar2 pendapat dan pengalaman kerana kami disini dah seperti satu keluarga. Walaupun keluarga di Alex kecil berbanding di Cairo tapi ini tak mematahkan semangat kami utk terus berukhuwah dan berjuang kerana Allah kerana kami disini berjuang bersama dan ukhuwah yang sedang terjalin ini maniiissss sangat. Kemanisan ukhuwah ini akan sentiasa dikecapi insyaAllah saban waktu, saban detik, saban saat meski daun masa mulai gugur berasama usia. Semoga akan wujudnya pertemuan kedua setelah pertama kemudian ketiga setelah kedua dan seterusnya insyaAllah~
Fi Hifzillah Da-eman~ Allah ma’ana~ kami disini berjuang bersama antum antunna sekalian~ oleh itu, klw nak doa tu , selitkan kami sekali yeeee dlm doanyaa~
Illalliqa’ InsyaAllah~

The Inner Secrets of Fasting

Here is something that I would like to share with our dear readers about fasting..although it is something that most of u might know, but as a human we sometimes forget..so this is a reminder in case you forget.. :)


Know, that in the fast (Sawm) is a special quality that is not found in anything else. And that is its close connection to Allah, such that He says: "The fast (Sawm) is for Me and I will reward it." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

This connection is enough to show the high status of fasting. Similarly, the Ka`bah is highly dignified due to its close connection to Him, as occurs in His statement:

"And sanctify My House." [Soorah al-Hajj:26]

Indeed, the fast is only virtuous due to two significant concepts:

The first: It is a secret and hidden action thus, no one from the creation is able to see it. Therefore riyaa' (showing off) cannot enter into it.

The second: It is a means of subjugating the enemies of Allah. This is because the road that the enemies (of Allah) embark upon (in order to misguide the Son of Aadam) is that of desires. And eating and drinking strengthens the desires.

There are many reports that indicate the merits of fasting, and they are all well known.

The recommended acts of fasting

The pre-dawn meal (suhoor) and delaying in taking it are preferable, as well as hastening to break the fast and doing so with dates.

Generosity in giving is also recommended during Ramadaan, as well as doing good deeds and increasing in charity. This is in accordance with the way of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam).

It is also recommended to study the Qur'aan and perform I`tikaaf during Ramadaan, especially in the last ten days, as well as increasing upon the exertion (towards doing good deeds) in it.

In the two Saheehs, `Aa'ishah said:

"When the (last) ten days (of Ramadaan) would come, the Prophet would tighten his waist-wrapper (izaar), spend the night in worship, and wake his family up (for prayer)." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

The scholars have mentioned two views concerning the meaning of "tighten his waist-wrapper (izaar)":

The first: It means the turning away from women.

The second: It is an expression denoting his (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) eagerness and diligence in doing good deeds.

They also say that the reason for his (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) exertion in the last ten days of Ramadaan was due to his (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) seeking of the Night of Al-Qadr (Lailatul-Qadr).

An explanation of the inner secrets of fasting and its characteristics

There are three levels of fasting: The general fast, the specific fast, and the more specific fast.

As for the general fast, then it is the refraining of the stomach and the private parts from fulfilling their desires.

The specific fast is the refraining of ones gaze, tongue, hands, feet, hearing and eyes, as well as the rest of his body parts from committing sinful acts.

As for the more specific fast, then it is the heart's abstention from its yearning after the worldly affairs and the thoughts which distance one away from Allah, as well as its (the heart's) abstention from all the things that Allah has placed on the same level.

From the characteristics of the specific fast is that one lowers his gaze and safeguards his tongue from the repulsive speech that is forbidden, disliked, or which has no benefit, as well as controlling the rest of his body parts.

In a hadeeth reported by Al-Bukhaaree:

"Whosoever does not abandon false speech and the acting upon it, Allah is not in need of him leaving off his food and drink." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, Abu Dawood, at-Tirmidhee and Ibn Maajah]

Another characteristic of the specific fast is that one does not overfill himself with food during the night. Instead, he eats in due measure, for indeed, the son of Aadam does not fill a vessel more evil than his stomach.

If he were to eat his fill during the first part of the night, he would not make good use of himself for the remainder of the night. In the same way, if he eats to his fill for suhoor, he does not make good use of himself until the afternoon. This is because excessive eating breeds laziness and lethargy. Therefore, the objective of fasting disappears due to one's excessiveness in eating, for what is intended by the fast, is that one savors the taste of hunger and becomes an abandoner of desires.

Recommended Fasts

As for the recommended fasts, then know that preference for fasting is established in certain virtuous days. Some of these virtuous days occur every year, such as fasting the first six days of the month of Shawaal after Ramadaan, fasting the day of `Arafah, the day of `Aashooraa, and the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram.

Some of them occur every month, such as the first part of the month, the middle part of it, and the last part of it. So whoever fasts the first part of the month, the middle part of it, and the last part of it, then he has done well.

Some fasts occur every week, and they are every Monday and Thursday.

The most virtuous of the recommended fasts is the fast of Dawood (`alayhis salaam). He would fast one day and break his fast the next day. This achieves the following three objectives:

The soul is given its share on the day the fast is broken. And on the day of fasting, it completes its worship in full.

The day of eating is the day of giving thanks and the day of fasting is the day of having patience. And Faith (Eemaan) is divided into two halves - that of thankfulness and that of patience. [Note: the hadeeth with a similar stament is unauthentic, see adh-Dha`eefah: 625]

It is the most difficult struggle for the soul. This is because every time the soul gets accustomed to a certain condition, it transfers itself to that.

As for fasting every day, then it has been reported by Muslim, from the hadeeth of Abu Qataadah, that `Umar (radhiallahu `anhu) asked the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam): 'What is the case if one were to fast every day?' So he (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: "He did not fast nor did he break his fast - or - he did not fast and he did not break his fast." [Saheeh Muslim]

This is concerning the one who fasts continuously, even during the days in which fasting is forbidden.

Characteristics of the most specific fast

Know that the one who has been given intellect, knows the objective behind fasting. Therefore, he burdens himself to the extent that he will not be unable to do that which is more beneficial than it.

Ibn Mas`ood would fast very little and it is reported that he used to say: "When I fast, I grow weak in my prayer. And I prefer the prayer over the (optional) fast.

Some of them (the Sahaabah) would weaken in their recitation of the Qur'aan while fasting. Thus, they would exceed in breaking their fast (i.e. by observing less optional fasts), until they were able to balance their recitation. Every individual is knowledgeable of his condition and of what will rectify it.

There were a slight modification to the article by the editor, such as the exclusion of the couple of statements.
