17 Wasiat Buat Ummat Muhammad saw

WASIAT KE 9

JAUHILAH AKHLAK-AKHLAK SYAITHANIYAH


Dan hendaknya engkau menjauhi sifat riya`, sombong,ujub,buruk sangka terhadap manusia, hasut, dan was-was. Karena sesungguhnya itu semua adalah akhlak setan.

Adapun riya` adalah engkau beramal karena makhluk dan itulah syirik kecil tanpa ragu lagi. Cukuplah riya` itu sebagai kebodohan, sebab engkau menyekutukan Allah dengan seseorang yang tidak dapat memberimu manfaat serta mudharat (bahaya) dan jika seandainya orang itu tahu bahwa engkau beramal karenanya maka jatuhlah derajatmu dalam pandangannya.

Sedangkan sombong dapat mencegahmu untuk berfikir tentang darimana asalmu? Dan bagaimana keadaanmu sekarang? Serta akan menjadi apa engkau (setelah mati)?

Bukankah asalmu dari nutfah (air mani) yang menjijikkan, dan diperutmu engkau menyimpan kotoran, dan engkau akan menjadi bangkai yang bau?

Ujub (membanggakan diri sendiri) dan hasut (iri dengki) keduanya adalah akhlaknya iblis-semoga laknat Allah menimpanya- dan akhlak orang-orang yang mengikutinya. Sebab ketika dia berbangga dengan dirinya, dia menjadi sombong dan ingkar. Dia (iblis) berkata: “Saya lebih baik dari Adama”. Dan ketika dia melihat nikmat-nikmat Allah yang diberikan kepada Adam as diapun menjadi marah dikarenakan hal itu lalu ia mendengki Adam as. Dan dia hanya memperoleh pengusiran dan perjauhan dari Allah. Sedangkan Adam a, ia menjadi orang yang dekat dengan Allah dan dipilih oleh Allah. Maka pahamilah dan renungkanlah hal ini niscaya engkau akan selamat dan beruntung. Dan janganlah engkau membenci atas apa yang Allah karuniakan kepada hamba Nya yang Dia kehendaki. Kenalilah kemampuan dirimu, janganlah engkau melampaui batas kemampuanmu. Dan ketahuilah dengan sebenar-benarnya bahwa engkau adalah hamba yang lemah yang tidak mempunyai kemampuan apapun atas dirimu dan orang lain baik untuk memberi manfaat, atau mudharat, atau untuk menghidupkan atau mematikan ataupun membangkitkan. Jika engkau telah mengetahui hal ini maka engkau telah berserah diri dan selamat. Renungkanlah firman Allah :

“Apa saja yang Allah anugerahkan berupa rahmat, maka tidak ada seorangpun yang dapat menahannya; dan apa saja yang ditahan oleh Allah maka tidak seorangpun yang sanggup untuk melepaskannya sesudah itu. Dan Dia-lah Yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana.” (QS.Fathir :2)


Dan juga firman-Nya:
“Katakanlah: “Wahai Allah Yang Maha Memiliki Kerajaan/Kekuasaan, Engkau berikan kekuasaan kepada orang yang Engkau kehendaki dan Engkau cabut kekuasaan dari orang yang Engkau kehendaki. Engkau muliakan orang yang Engkau kehendaki dan Engkau hinakan orang yang Engkau kehendaki. Di tangan Engkaulah segala kebaikan. Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu. Engkau masukkan malam ke dalam siang dan Engkau masukkan siang ke dalam malam. Engkau keluarkan yang hisup dari yang mati, dan Engkau keluarkan yang mati dari yang hidup. Dan Engkau beri rezeki siapa yang Engkau kehendaki tanpa hisab (batas) (QS. Al-`Imran: 26-27)

WASIAT Ke 8

PEGANG TEGUHLAH KESABARAN


Dan hendaklah engkau bersabar atas sikap orang orang yang menjauhimu, terutama dari kerabatmu, saudara iparmu, tetangga-tetanggamu, rekan-rekanmu, orang-orang yang mengenalmu, dan para penduduk di kampung atau negerimu. Jika engkau sering melihat sikap-sikap yang tidak menyenangkan mu yang timbul dari mereka, maka perbuatlah olehmu hal-hal yang baik kepada mereka yang tidak akan merugikanmu. Bahkan, hal itu akan menambah terangkatnya derajatmu khususnya terhadap keluarga-keluarga dekatmu yang memiliki hubungan darah dan nasab denganmu. Dan jika engkau dapat berkunjung kepada mereka tanpa (tempat tinggal yang) berdekatan (dengan mereka), maka lakukanlah sebab begitulah yang terdapat dalam hadits.

(“Yakni dengan berdekatan maka akan timbul kebosanan namun jika tidak brdekatan maka akan timbul kerinduan satu sama lain.”)

Dan jika engkau diuji dengan tinggal berdekatan (antara engkau dengan mereka) tanpa adanya kasih sayang maka hendaklah engkau bersabar dengan memaafkan kekeliruan-kekeliruan dan kesalahan-kesalahan yang diperbuat orang lain kepadamu. Dan hendaknya engkau bergaul dengan baik terhadap orang-orang yang ada di sekitarmu dan hindarilah pertengkaran dan perselisihan.


Seorang penyair mengatakan:

Selama engkau hidup maka bergaullah dengan seluruh manusia
Karena sesungguhnya engkau hidup didunia tempat pergaulan (saling kenal mengenal)
Barangsiapa yang mengetahui hal itu maka ia adalah orang yang mengerti
Dan barangsiapa yang tidak mengerti
Maka ia akan menjadi teman dari penyesalan-penyesalan yang tiada henti


Dan jika ada berita atau perkara yang sampai kepadamu melaui seseorang atau melalui omongan-omongan orang lain yang mana berita itu menyakitimu, maka janganlah engkau cepat-cepat membalas dengan sikap yang tidak baik tanpa meneliti terlebih dahulu tentang kebenaran berita itu, karena umumnya yang terjadi pada zaaman sekarang ini adalah dusta dan kebohongan atau fitnah. Dan lebih cenderung menggunjing kejelekan orang daripada membicarakan kebaikannya. Sedang Allah SWT telah berfirman kepda orang-orang yang beriman:

“Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jika datang kepadamu orang fasik membawa suatu berita, maka periksalah dengan teliti, agar kamu tidak menimpakan suatu musibah kepada suatu kaum tanpa mengetahui keadaannya yang menyebabkan kamu menyesal atas perbuatanmu itu” (QS. Al –Hujurat :6)

WASIAT KE 7

HENDAKLAH MEMBALAS KEBURUKAN DENGAN KEBAIKAN


Hendaklah engkau menjadi orang yang berakhlak mulia dan teguh pendirian dalam menghadapi orang yang membalas kebaikanmu dengan keburukan.

Seorang penyair berkata:

Jadilah engkau orang yang berakhlak dengan akhlak yang mulia
Agar wangi pujianmu harum semerbak
Dan berbuatlah sesuatu yang bermanfaat untuk kawanmu jika engkau ingin tetap ia tetap menjadi kawanmu
Dan balaslah musuhnmu dengan sikap yang baik.

Dan beradalah engkau selalu bersama Allah
Seakan-akan tidak ada makhluk lain bersamamu

Dan beradalah bersama makhluk-makhluk seakan-akan engkau tidak memiliki nafsu




Zuhudlah terhadap dunia, pasti Allah mencintaimu, zuhudlah engkau terhadap apa yang ada di tangan orang, pasti engkau dicintai orang.

Janganlah engkau bersedih hati, jangan berduka, jangan pula susah dan janganlah cemas karena berpalingnya orang-orang darimu dan kritikan-kritikan atau rintangan yang mereka lancarkan terhadapmu dikarenakan maksud-maksud yang baik yang engkau tujukan kepada mereka dengan mengharapkan Keridhoan Allah yang Maha Mulia, yang sebenarnya maksud-maksud baikmu itu akan membawa manfaat bagi orang-orang secara khusus maupun umum. Namun orang-orang tersebut justru tidak mendukungmu dan mencegah serta merintangimu. Itu merupakan perbuatan Setan yang ingin membuat orang-orang jauh dari segala hal yang memberi kemashlahatan dan manfaat kepada mereka. Sebab setan benci terhadap kerukunan kaum muslimin, solidaritas (rasa kesetiakawanan) mereka serta persatuan dan kesatuan mereka.

Hati-hatilah engkau, janganlah berkeluh kesah atau merasa bosan atau jemu karena sikap mereka terhadapmu. Atau mungkin nafsumu berkata kepadamu: “Bagaimana engkau bersunguh-sunguh dala melakukan sesuatu yang bermanfaat bagi mereka sedangkan mereka menentangmu, bahkan tidak berterimakasih kepadamau”. Hati-hatilah terhadap sikap seperti itu karena itu memang tabiat manusia, sekalipun dalam hubungannya dengan Allah yang Maha Agung lagi Maha Tinggi. Padahal Dialah Allah yang menciptakannya dan memberinya rezeki. Tidaklah engkau menyimak firman Nya :

“Binasalah manusia, alangkah amat sangat kekafirannya?” (QS. `Abasa:17)


“Sesungguhnya manusia itu sangat ingkar tidak berterimakasih kepada Tuhannya”. (QS. Al-`Aadiyat:6)



“Dan bacakanlah kepada mereka berita penting tentang Nuh as di waktu itu dia berkata kepada kaumnya :”Hai kaumku, jika terasa berat bagimu tinggal (bersamaku) dan peringatanku (kepadamu) dengan ayat-ayat Allah, maka kepada Allah lah aku bertawakkal, karena itu bulatkanlah keputusanmu dan (kumpulkanlah) sekutu-sekutumu (untuk membinasakanku). Kemudian janganlah keputusanmu itu dirahasiakan, lalu lakukanlah terhadap diriku, dan janganlah kamu memberi tangguh kepadaku”. (QS. Yunus:71)


Dan juga Hud as, serta nabi Shaleh as bersama kaum mereka. Juga Nabi Ibrahim as dengan Namrud dan abi beliau sendiri (yakni Azar), Nabi Ya`kub dengan saudaranya, Nabi Yusuf dengan saudara-saudaranya. Nabi Ayyub as dengan musibah yang menimpanya. Nabi Musa as dengan Bani Israil setelah mereka selamat dari laut merah, dan setelah mereka mendengar Firman Allah ketika mereka berkata (kepada Musa as): “Perlihatkanlah Allah kepada kami dengan terang-terangan”, dan beberapa peristiwa-peristiwa lainnya yang menimpa mereka. Nabi Isa as dengan `Ashabul Maidah dan kaumnya yang lain. Dan juga Sayyidina Muhammad saw dengan kaumnya dan dengan para sahabatnya seperti yang terjadi pada perjanjian Hudaybiyah dan pada saat pembagian harta rampasan perang (sebagaimana yang diriwayatkan, saat itu ada seorang arab badui yang memprotes cara pembagian yang dilakukan oleh Rasulullah saw). Sehingga nabi saw bersabda: “Semoga Allah merahmati saudaraku Musa as. Sungguh dia telah dicoba dengan cobaan yang lebih dari ini dan dia mampu bersabar.”

Kemudian (renungkanlah) yang terjadi pada Abu Bakar Ash Shiddiq ra. Setelah wafatnya Rasulullah saw dengan para sahabat yang lain, dan begitu juga dengan golongan orang-orang yang murtad. Lalu (renungkanlah pula) apa yang terjadi pada para sahabat ra yakni berupa sikap kasar dari orang-orang terhadap mereka. Kemudian apa yang terjadi pada Tabi`in serta para pengikut mereka hingga zaman kita ini. Maka engkau dapat mengambil suri tauladan dari mereka-mereka itu.

Firman Allah SWT :

“Sesungguhnya telah ada pada (diri) Rasulullah saw itu suri tauladan yang baik bagimu”. (QS. Al-Ahzab:21)


Dan sungguh aku telah melihat bahwa Al-Faqih Al-allamah Sayyid Umar Bin Abdullah Bamakramah telah mengisyaratkan tentang hal-hal tersebut diatas dalam sebuah Qashidahnya yang awalnya berbunyi :

Wahai sahabat karibku, telah parah keadaan-ku
Sedang aku tak ingin melakukan rekadaya
Rekadaya hamba adalah sedikit sekali dalam urusan yang telah ditakdirkan Allah


Oleh karena itu renungkanlah dan pahamilah nasihat-nasihat tersebut, maka Insya Allah engkau akan memperoleh petunjuk.

6.Hindarilah Perkataan dan Perbuatan Jelek

Hati hatilah terhadap perkataan-perkataan buruk juga keji terhadap orang lain. Sebab perkataan keji hanya akan membuat nista orang yang mengatakannya, bukan orang yang dikatainya, walaupun kekejian atau keburukan itu benar-benar ada padanya. Begitu pula perkataan yang baik hanya akan membuat mulia orang yang mengatakannya. Sebagaimana firman Allah SWT :

“’Wanita-wanita yang keji adalah untuk laki-laki yang keji, dan laki-laki yang keji adalah buat wanita-wanita yang keji (pula), dan wanita-wanita yang baik adalah untuk laki-laki yang baik dan laki-laki yang baik adalah untuk wanita-wanita yang baik (pula). Mereka (yang dituduh) itu bersih dari apa yang dtuduhka oleh mereka (yang menuduh itu). Bagi mereka ampunan dan rezki mulia (surga).

Oleh karena itu janganlah engkau berbicara atau menjawab kecuali dengan perkataan yang membuatmu mulia. Dan janganlah engkau membalas kecuali dengan sikap yang membuatmu terhormat.

Hati-hatilah engkau jangan sampai engkau terburu-buru membalas musuhmu dengan sesuatu sikap yang tidak diperintahkan Allah. Allah SWT berfirman:

“ Dan tidaklah sama kebaikan dan kejahatan. Tolaklah (kejahatan itu) dengan cara yang lebih baik, maka tiba-tiba orang yang antaramu dan antara dia ada ermusuhan seolah-olah telah menjadi teman yang sangat setia”. (QS. Fuslihat: 36)



“Jadilah engkau pemaaf dan suruhlah orang mengerjakan yang ma’ruf, serta berpalinglah daripada orang-orang yang bodoh. (QS. Al-A’raf :199)


Jika engkau mengatakan :”Jika saya berbuat seperti itu (yakni membalas keburukan dengan kebaikan ) maka musuh saya akan bertambah berani kepada saya”, maka ketahuilah bahwa Allah lebih tahu darimu tentang akhir atau akibat dari segala urusan dan Dia Maha Mengetahui lagi Melihat para hamba-hamba-Nya.

5. Jadilah Seorang Hamba Allah Yang Penyayang

Jadilah engkau termasuk hamba-hamba Allah yang maha Penyayang (Ibadurrahman).

“Dan hamba-hamba Tuhan Yang Maha Penyayang itu (ialah) orang-orang yang berjalan diatas bumi dengan rendah hati dan apabila orang-orang jahil menyapa mereka, mereka mengucapkan kata-kata yang baik” (QS. Al Furqon :63)

“Dan mereka yang melalui malam hari dengan bersujud dan berdiri untuk Tuhan mereka (yakni shalat tahajjud karena Allah semata)” (QS. Al Furqon :64)

“Dan orang-orang yang berkata: “Ya Tuhan kami, jauhkan azab jahannam dari kami. Sesungguhnya azab Nya itu adalah kebinasaan yang kekal.” (QS.Al-Furqon:65)

“Dan orang-orang yang apabila membelanjakan (harta), mereka tidak berlebih-lebihan dan tidak pula kikir. Dan adalah (pembelanjaan itu) di tengah-tengah antara yang demikian.” (QS.AlFurqon:67)

“Dan orang-orang yang tidak menyembah Tuhan yang lain beserta Allah dan tidak membunuh jiwa yang diharamkan Allah (membunuhnya) kecuali dengan (alas an) yang benar, dan tidak berzina, barangsiapa yang melakukan demikian itu, niscaya dia mendapat (pembalasan) dosa (nya).” (QS.Al Furqon :68)

“Dan orang-orang yang tidak memberikan kesaksian palsu, dan apabila mereka bertemu dengan (orang-orang )yang mengerjakan perbuatan-perbuatan yang tidak berfaedah, mereka lalui (saja) dengan menjaga kehormatan dirinya.” (QS. Al Furqon: 72)

“Dan orang-orang yang apabila diberi peringatan dengan ayat-ayat Tuhan mereka, mreka tidaklah menghadapinya sebagai orang-orang yang tuli dan buta”. (QS. Al Furqon :73)

“Dan orang-orang yang berkata :”ya Tuhan kami, anugerahkanlah kep[ada kami istri-istri kami dan keturunan kami sebagai penyenang hati (kami), dan jadikanlah kami iman bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa.” (QS. Al-Furqon :74)

4. Wasiat Lukman Al-hakim Kepada Anaknya


Aku bacakan kepadamu apa yang difirmankannya oleh Allah Yang Maha Pengasih melaui lisan kepercayan Nya Lukman Al-Hakim diantara yang ia wasiatkan kepada putranya:

“Hai anakku, janganlah kamu mempersekutukan Allah, sesungguhnya mempersekutukan (Allah) adalah benar-benar kezaliman yang besar” (QS. Lukman :13)

“Hai anakku, sesungguhnya jika ada (sesuatu perbuatan) seberat biji sawi dan berada dalam batu atau langit atau dibumi, niscaya Allah akan mendatangkannya (membalasnya). Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Halus (yakni ilmu Nya meliputi segala sesuatu bagaimanapun kecilnya) lagi Maha Mengetahui” (QS. Lukman :16)


“Hai anakku, dirikanlah shalat dan suruhlah (manusia) melakukan kebaikan dan cegahlah (mereka) dari perbuatan yang mungkar dan bersabarlah terhadap apa yang menimpa kamu. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu termasuk hal-hal yang diwajibkan (oleh Allah) (QS. Lukman:17)


“Dan janganlah kamu memalingkan mukamu dari manusia (karena sombong) dan janganlah kamu berjalan di muka bumi dengan angkuh. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menyukai orang-orang sombong lagi membanggakan diri”. (QS. Lukman :18)

“Dan sederhanakanlah kamu dalam berjalan dan lunakkanlah suaramu. Sesungguhnya seburuk-buruk suara ialah suara keledai.” (QS. Lukman :19)

3. Wasiat Niat dan Akhlak Yang Baik

Berniatlah untuk melakukan kebaikan kepada seluruh orang muslim, sebab telah dijelaskan dalam hadist :

“Niat seseorang muslim lebih baik dari amalnya (yang dilakukan tanpa niat)”.

Dan telah dijelaskan pula dalam hadist lain:

“Hanya saja segala amal (perbuatan) tergantung pada niatnya”.

Dan janganlah engkau menyimpan keburukan dan jangan pula engkau menyembunyikan rasa dendam, dan pengkhiatan terhadap salah seorang kaum mukmin. Barang siapa yang menjauhi sifat-sifat seperti itu (dendam, khianat, dsb.) serta suci hatinya dan bersih batinnya dari dendam khianat, dan dengki terhadap muslim yang lain, maka dia akan menjadi orang yangpaling tinggi kualitasibadahnya diantara seluruh penduduk bumi, dan tidurnyapun dinilai ibadah.1

Hal ini sebagaimana yang telah dijelaskan oleh junjungan kita Nabi pilihan.2

1. sebab hatinya bersih dari sifat-sifat yang dapat merusak amal shaleh yang telah ia kerjakan seperti:

2.Banyak hadist yang berkaitan dengan hal ini diantaranya: “Sesungguhnya orang mukmin dapat mencapai derajat orang yang bangun malam (qiyamullail)_ dan puasa (disiang hari) dengan akhlaknya yang baik.

Wasiat Kedua : Kasih Sayang Terhadap Makhluk

Kemudian saya berwasiat dan menganjurkan kepada engkau agar engkau berlaku kasih sayang kepada semua mkahluk Allah, bagi manusia maupun selainnya, terutama kepada saudara-saudara kita sesame muslim. Hendaklah kita memperlakukan mereka dengan kasih saying walaupun kepada orang yang memusuhimu dan iri padamu. Sebab pada hakikatnya manusia itu lemah, maka lihatlah pada kelemahannya dan betapa lemahnya manusia itu. Walaupun dia tetap dalam keadaan memusuhimu. Allah hanya mengasihi hamba-hamba Nya yang penyayang. Barang siapa tidak menyayangi, maka dia tidak patut disayangi. Sayangilah penduduk bumi, niscaya penduduk langit akan menyayangimu. Seorang penyair berkata:

Sayangilah hamba-hamba Allah, niscaya engkaupun disayang oleh Dia yang anugerah serta karunia Nya meliputi seluruh makhluk Nya

Sebab bagi para insane penyayang, ada bagian yang penuh tiada berbilang dari rahmat Allah Sang Maha Penyayang

Yang Agung kemuliaan Nya, tiada berkurang

Dan perlakukanlah semua mahkluk dengan cara mencegah keburukanmu terhadap mereka, maka sesungguhnya Allah akan mencegah keburukan mereka darimu. Diriwayatkan dalam hadits, dari pemimpin seluruh manusia, Nabi saw:

“Barang siapa menginginkan keselamatan, maka hendaknya dia mencarinya pada keselamatan orang lain (dari keburukannya)”

1. Takwa

Wahai saudaraku yang saleh, yang tercinta lagi ikhlas, sesungguhnya saya berwasiat pada engkau dan diriku sendiri agar kita menjaga ketakwaan kita kepada Allah. Yang mana takwa merupakan wasiat Tuhan Penguasa seluruh alam semesta, dalam kitab Nya yang nyata, untuk seluruh manusia, baik generasi terdahulu maupun yang akan datang kemudian, hingga akhir masa. Takwa merupakan ungkapan yang berarti menjauhi apa yang dilarang oleh Allah dan melakukan apa saja yang diperintahkan oleh Allah. Adapun penjabaran tentang takwa itu sendiri telah jelas dari keterangan-keterangan kitab suci Al-Qur`an yang mulia dan As Sunnah (hadits) yang terang bercahaya, serta keterangan dari ulama-ulama salaf dan khalaf, maka hal itu tidak perlu dijelaskan kembali setelah nyata.

Sebagian ulama mendefinisikan ulama salaf yaitu ulama yang hidup antara masa awal islam hingga masa habisnya tabi`it-tabi`in (kira kira hingga abad ke 3 H). Adapaun ulama khalaf ialah yang hidup pada masa setelahnya hingga akhir masa. Hal ini berdasarkan hadits:

Artinya: “Sebaik-baik manusia adalah pada masaku (yakni generasi sahabat), kemudian yang setelahnya (yakni generasi tabi`in), dan kemudian yang setelahnya (yakni generasi tabi`it tabi`in)”

(HR: Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad, At-Tirmidzi)

Missing Allah

When the night runs late, my ocean of thoughts wander in the darkness of the night, my thought flies towards a hard grave, a pile of red, cold dirt, the earth’s stomach that would be my resting place one day, inside it nothing else but worms and insects the corpse eater, my body would never be able to get rid of those creatures that would gnaw off my body and make it their nest to lay their eggs. How defenseless this body is, my friends would leave me, my wife and children would leave me, my parents would leave me, all the people that I know would forget me, they don’t want to die with me, they don’t want to know what else would happen to me in my grave, they don’t want to, even to simply get rid of the worms that gnaw off my body, they don’t care anymore that my body would eventually be rotten, until it is destroyed and stinky, and becomes only bones, and then it would be disappeared and become dirt, where would I go? my spirit would fly away to answer the call from my Creator.

O’ Allah, no one but You, You are The One who would get rid of those insects from my body, You will guard my body that goes into the Earth’s stomach, You will listen to my heart’s cry of missing You, hence kindly hear O’ The Creator of hope, O’ the Creator of all this longing feeling, O’ the Creator of the willingness to cling, I cry the sentence that almost blow my heart and mind now, I don’t have anybody else to cling on but You, to help, to give, to be counted on, to move, to breath, to say, to speak, to listen, to see, to walk, to move, to think, to eat, to drink, to smile, to be happy, to do everything, but You, all that I posses, and that I don’t, all belong to You, my body belongs to You, my food belongs to You, all that I see is Yours, all that I hear is Yours, all that I say is Yours, all my steps are Yours, every breath I take belongs to You, every beat of my heart belongs to You, my feelings are Yours, my longing is Yours, my hopes are Yours, my sadness is Yours, my happiness is Yours, how beautiful that is O’ Allah, because You own me, You hold me, You manage me, You guard me, You protect me, You take care of me, You our on Your gentleness towards me, I miss You O’ Allah, You call me to make me closer towards You O’ Allah.

O’ the Creator of love and compassion in the hearts of all of His servants, You want me to love You O’ Allah.., O’ the Creator of tongue to keep calling the names of His servants, You want me to call Your name O’ Allah, O’ the Creator all the beautiful things in life, the invisible and visible beauty, the beauty that is audible or inaudible, the beauty that can be expressed or not, the beauty that can be felt or not, the beauty that is known or unknown, the beauty that is seen or hidden, all those beauty come from Your beauty O’ Allah, how beautiful You are..., how gentle You are.

Hence O’ The Creator of Beauty, O’ The Creator of Gentleness, O’ The Creator of Love and Compassion, the way You illustrate the beauty of Your creatures, the way You show the gentleness of Your creatures, the way You show the love and compassion of Your creatures, kindly show me Your Beauty O’ Allah, show Your Gentleness O’ Allah.., show Your love and compassion O’ Allah, even though it is only in the form of hopes, or only assumption, or imagination, or longing, or willingness, or simply tears, or gifts, or fantasies, or easiness, or help, as long as I know that it comes from Your gentleness, from Your love and compassion, from Your beauty. How disappointed Your servant here who only have hopes, imagination, fantasies, longing feeling, Your servant who wants to get closer, who is longing for gentleness, longing for guidance, longing for love and compassion, while the assets of all my hopes are only tears. Should he be made disappointed by the One Who Never Creates Disappointment? it would break his heart if his desire is rejected by The One Who Never Rejects Any Desire, it would shatter his love, if his wish to get closer is rejected by the One Who Never Rejects His servants who want to get closer to Him, all of those behaviors wouldn’t be found in Your essence, all of those are not in Your character, all of those are not in Your action, what else that makes me rejected while You are the One Who Always Accept, what else makes me eliminated while You are The One Who Always Embrace, what else makes me left behind, while You are the One Who Make Things Closer, am I wrong to miss You, while You are the Creator of my longing feeling towards You, am I wrong if I want to be closer to You, while You are the Creator of my willingness to get closer to You, am I wrong to feel sink into the ocean of Your Gentleness, while You are the Creator of that feeling inside me.

O’ Allah.., O’ the One who named Himself Allah, O’ the One Who wants His name to be called Allah, O’ the One who wants my tongue to call His Essence with the name of Allah, O’ the One who wants me to expect Him by remembering the name ‘Allah’, O’ the One who creates my tongue to tremble when calling the name of Allah, O’ the One who gives the ability to my fingers to write down the name of Allah.., then with Your wish I call Your name O’ Allah.., with Your wish I miss You O’ Allah.., with Your wish I want to get closer to You O’ Allah, am I wrong to have wish, am I wrong to miss You, am I wrong if I want to get closer to You, while all the shivers in my heart are Your wish O’ Allah?, therefore like You make worms crawl without arms and legs, then make me crawl to You without difficulty, like You make the dirty dog performs tasbih to worship You, then make me the poor sinner long for You, like You make the flowing water frozen, them make my hope run towards You and freeze in front of Your door, like You make the rocky mountain become dust, then make all my mistakes become dust in front of Your Majesty, like You make the strong earth get trampled down, then make my obsessions get trampled down by my longing for You, like You make the charismatic King beaten down and underestimated, them make my arrogance despised by Your Prestige, like You make something move become unmoving, them make my moving body become still from all the things that You don’t allow me to do, like You make all living things disappear, then make this mountain of sins disappear in Your Gentleness, like You make the impossible become possible, then make all my impossibilities to get closer to You become a definite promise.

The Most Loved by Rasulullah S.A.W Amongst Us

قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ مِنْ أَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَيَّ أَحْسَنَكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا (صحيح البخاري

Rasulullah S.A.W declared:
"Indeed the person I love most amongst all of my followers is the one with the best morals/characters". (Shahih Bukhari)

Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Alhamdulillah let us continue our program, while later on the explanation on syarah hadits will be continued by him as he has indeed memorized Shahih Bukhari and its syarah as well as more than 30.000 hadits. Ladies and gentlemen,

We kindly request our Guru fadhilatul ustadz ad da’i illaAllah Sayyidil Habib Musa Al Kadhim bin Ja’far Assegaf to give Tausiyah speech for a few minutes which will be translated by our Guru fadhilatul ustadz ad da’i ilallah Syekh Ridwan Al Amri. Be my guest Please, tafadhol masykura…

All praise goes to Allah S.W.T who has gathered us in this place, we convey our shalawat and salam towards hadiratul Rasulullah S.A.W. Al Habib Musa bin Ja’far Assegaf, our guest from Tarim city of Hadramaut. He opened his speech by reciting hamdalah and shalawat towards Rasulullah S.A.W. Then he said that we all together have just learnt the statement of Rasulullah S.A.W in which the hadits was the words of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W that will give blessings to those who listen to the hadits of Rasulullah S.W.T.

We have just learnt about the statement of Rasulullah S.A.W that “inna min ahabbikum ilayya ahsanakum akhlaq” indeed the person I love most from my followers are the one with the best characters, the one I love most, said Rasulullah S.A.W. Although there are many examples, such as those who like reciting Alqur’an are loved by Allah S.W.T, also those who like performing dzikir are loved by Allah S.W.T. But this particular hadits emphasizes that the person loved most by Rasulullah S.A.W from all of you is the one with the best morals/characters.

Alhamdulillah, because of taufiq from Allah S.W.T, Allah has given us easiness to perform good deeds so that we could become the ones being loved most by Rasulullah S.A.W, therefore be well informed that if we want to be those who are loved most by Allah S.W.T, this is the fastest way, that is by how we could beautify and progress our morals just like Rasulllah S.A.W.

All of us are able to encourage others to do the same, how they could follow and learn the best characters/morals of Rasulullah S.A.W. Allah S.W.T has created a mankind in their best shape and look. “Laqad khalaqnal insaana fii ahsani taqwiim” indeed We have created mankind in their best form. QS. At-Tiin : 4. Hence mankind is created by Allah S.W.T with the best creation compared to other creatures created by Allah, therefore we are taught by The Greatest Rasulullah S.A.W, when a Moslem sees himself in front of a mirror, he sees the shape and look given by Allah S.W.T to him, though it is the shape and look that can be seen, not to forget, as declared by Rasulullah S.A.W, the good characters and morals. Therefore Prophet Muhammad S.A.W taught us one prayer when we see ourselves in front of mirror, “Allahumma kamaahassanta khalqiy fahassin khuluqiy” (prayer when seeing ourselves in a mirror) O’ Allah as You have completed my shape and look, You beautify my shape and look, You also mend my soul with the best behavior. Note this! The shape and look from outside, if our look is less attractive or even ugly, eventually we will die, and once we are buried in a grave, the ugly look will be gone. While the look of our soul, the good characters which are invisible, unless by certain people who are allowed by Allah S.W.T, will be carried until this person meet up with Allah S.W.T on the Judgment Day. The way we take care of ourselves, our look and shape, we are also taught by The Greatest Rasulullah S.A.W to improve our morals and characters, with the intention that Allah S.W.T will not only see our physical appearance or outer look but also our inner look.

As mentioned just now, Alhabib Musa said if someone wants to have good morals as taught by Rasulullah S.A.W, he should never stop trying and don’t forget to pray towards Allah S.W.T. As Prophet Muhammad S.A.W also pray in his prayers. He .S.A.W prayed towards Allah S.W.T with the intention that Allah will give guidance and patience to him S.A.W. There had been many trials and torments he S.A.W had suffered, one of it was when Prophet S.A.W had been disturbed he S.A.W was patient to face those disturbances from quraisy people. But all those trouble and annoyance suffered by Rasulullah S.A.W, all were boldly faced by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, those atheist people behaved in front of Rasul S.A.W with bad attitudes. Their bad manners towards Prophet S.A.W were ignored, and with the good morals of Rasulullah S.A.W, he didn’t take revenge, instead Rasulullah S.A.W replied their bad behaviour with good conducts. This is the morals being taught by Rasulullah S.A.W.

Hence Allah S.W.T praised Prophet Muhammad S.A.W within Alqur’anulkarim. Being praised not only for his patience, not for his worship, although Prophet Muhammad S.A.W performed countless worship towards Allah S.W.T, until it was said that from so many worship and religious conducts the Prophet S.A.W had performed, from his qiyamullail (night prayers) until swollen both of his feet. But all those performance by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, all worships, religious acts by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, the ones being praised by Allah S.W.T in Alqur’an “wa innaka la a’la khuluqin adzim” indeed you are, O’ Rasulullah within the noblest morals. QS. Al Qalam : 4. Indeed Rasul S.A.W is within the highest and the most dignified morals next to Allah S.W.T. While for us, common people, perhaps we may have good morals but only al hasanah, the good morals, not the most dignified morals. No one with good morals mentioned as having the most dignified morals. This title is given by Allah S.W.T only for the Greatest Rasulullah S.A.W, so that the most dignified morals of Prophet S.A.W cover up everything else.

Not being praised, “wa innaka la a’la ilm adzim” indeed you are within the greatest knowledge. Indeed you are within the most dignified patience. But Allah S.W.T praised Prophet Muhammad S.A.W “wa innaka la a’la khuluqin adzim”. Hence come the praise given by Allah S.W.T towards Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, on how the morals of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W until those who were enemies of Prophet S.A.W, the atheists were eventually converted to Islam, they obeyed Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, why? Not only for his patience, but upon seeing the good morals of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.

It is said that (I haven’t brought what he had been said just now), Rasul S.A.W said “wakhaaliqunnaasi bikhuluqin hasan” associate with human beings, you mingle with (perform muamalah) other human beings (in a good manner) not with other manner. As being practiced by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, he taught and ordered us to associate with others in a good manner. Therefore the noble manner outshines other good conducts, and even exceeds the high rank of faithful people, and those who perform numerous prayers, simply with noble manner. As mentioned in many hadits, if someone may perform countless fasting and sunnah prayers, but he doesn’t have a good manner, hence his degree is low in front of Allah S.W.T, compared to someone who doesn’t perform many fasting, nor sunnah prayers, but has good manner, has noble behavior, hence this person has higher degree in the presence of Allah S.W.T. As stated by The Greatest Rasulullah S.A.W “there are some people, be it a man or a woman, their good behavior may outshine the degree of those who are fasting a lot or those who wake up at night for night prayers”.

Take note my Moslem brothers, that the noblest behavior of the Highness Rasulullah S.A.W was not only known by all the comrades of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W and by faithful Moslems, but also by those atheists, hypocrites and enemies of Rasulullah SA.W, they knew the noblest conducts and manners of Rasulullah S.A.W. As written in many stories, even children knew the noblest manner of Prophet S.A.W.

Thus Rasul S.A.W had a tradition, after returning from war, he would gather with all, including small children who would line up in front of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. Sometimes, on the front line were Sayyidina Ja’far bin Abu Tholib, Sayyidina Hasan wa Husein and other comrades until the first second and third lines, and Rasul S.A.W sat in front of them while staring at them all, then Rasulullah S.A.W announced a quiz for them, “O’ children, actually I hide something in my armpit or in my wardrobe. Whoever take what I hide the fastest, he will get a present from me, please go and get what I hide in my wardrobe”. Hence the children who lined up on the front of Rasulullah Saw, started to approach Rasulullah S.A.W, some would come from his back, some would come from the chest of Rasulullah S.A.W, or even his head, struggling to get something hid by Rasulullah S.A.W, while he S.A.W simply laughed happily seeing the behavior of those children. This is one example of how nice manner and behavior of Rasulullah S.A.W so that he S.A.W is loved by all his followers. He (Alhabib Musa) told about the manners of Rasulullah S.A.W which we should follow. One day Prophet Muhammad S.A.W was sitting with his wives, Sayyidah Hafsah, Sayyidah Zainab and Sayyidatuna Aisyah. And while those wives of Prophet S.A.W gathered with Rasul S.A.W, they laughed and threw jokes to each other in the presence of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, who patiently answered or gave comment. While they were pleasantly chit-chat, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and someone greeted, “Assalamu’alaikum”, it was Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab, hence all the wives who were sitting with Rasulullah S.A.W, quickly wore their chador (hijab), and those who opened their headscarf promptly wore it and all of them rushed to their room, hid themselves because Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab came. After Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab came inside, Rasulullah S.A.W laughed at him. Sayyidina Umar who saw Rasulullah S.A.W laughed cheerfully said, may Allah listen to you O’ Rasulullah. For Allah S.W.T could make you happy, O’ Rasulullah S.A.W, as you are made happy by Allah S.W.T. “what makes you laugh, Rasulullah?” hence Rasulullah S.A.W replied, “just now before you came, all my wives were gathered and chit-chat with me, but once you came, they all rushed inside and wore their chador”. Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab then loudly spoke to them from the guest room, “O’ the wives of Prophet S.A.W, why are all of you more afraid of me rather than of Rasulullah S.A.W? Rasulullah deserved more to be afraid of, instead of me?” Hence replied one of the wives of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, “yes Umar you are right, we are afraid of you more, we are not afraid of Rasulullah S.A.W because we know that you are the strict person therefore we are afraid. If we laugh, you will get angry at us. But if we laugh and throw jokes in the presence of our husband Rasulullah S.A.W, he S.A.W never get angry at us”. Once Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab heard this, he was numb. And Rasul S.A.W laughed. (Shahih Bukhari).

One of the shahih stories mentioned about the manner of Rasulullah S.A.W. One day Rasulullah S.A.W was visited by the children of a hypocrite, Abdullah bin Ubay, he was famous in Medina and he passed away. When he died, his children came to Rasulullah S.A.W and one of them said, “O’ Rasulullah can you give me shroud or winding sheet to wrap the body of my father who passed away?” hence Rasulullah S.A.W said, “sure” although Rasul S.A.W knew the person was a hypocrite, still Rasul S.A.W gave the shroud for their late father. And Rasulullah S.A.W said, “Why didn’t you inform me before, so I could come and pray for your late father” the son replied, “O’ Rasulullah please pray for him” hence Rasulullah came to his grave. After being wrapped with shroud and buried, Rasulullah S.A.W prayed for him in front of his grave. Hence Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab was sad seeing this, Sayyidina Umar reminded Rasulullah S.A.W, “O’ Rasulullah you know that this person was a hypocrite, hypocrite people will never be blessed, but why did you pray for him?” Rasulullah S.A.W replied, “O’ Umar there is no prohibition order from Allah S.W.T yet for me to pray for this dead body although he was a hypocrite”. Hence Rasul S.A.W prayed for him, before came down the verse “wala tusholli a’la…wala” never all of you pray for any of hypocrite people. Rasulullah S.A.W hence forbids praying for dead bodies of hypocrite people, nor standing in front of their graves. Thus the experts of interpretation of Al Qur’an after this verse was announced, “how lucky the hypocrite, Abdullah bin Ubay, he received amnesty from Allah S.W.T due to the prayer of Rasulullah S.A.W for him.” See this manner of Rasulullah S.A.W, although he S.A.W knew that the dead person was a hypocrite, but he S.A.W came, gave the shroud to wrap the dead body and even prayed for him.

Therefore we should try our best to make our behaviors good, as shown by the Greatest Rasulullah S.A.W. We should always beg and ask Allah S.W.T to give us the best manner, we also must try our best and pray as taught by The Highness Rasulullah S.A.W, how he S.A.W prayed and begged Allah S.W.T to give us guidance in performing the best deeds, among others is the noble manner. Therefore Rasulullah S.A.W taught us, when we look at ourselves in the mirror, recite “Allahumma kamaahassanta khalqiy fahassin khuluqiy” as You have completed and beautify my shape and look, You also mend my soul with the best behavior. We ask Allah S.W.T to mend the outer look (physical appearance) as well as our inner look. We are humankind, not animals nor plants. While trees and plants and animals will return to soil when die, but you are O’ humankind, when you die, you will not return to soil, although our dead body is buried, but your soul will return to Allah S.W.T. Your soul will ascend to face Allah S.W.T, will have to stand before Allah S.W.T. just like our body, our soul needs to be fed, and noble manners as taught by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W will raise our rank to the highest level.

As mentioned earlier, with the noble manner, someone could outshine good deeds of other people such as fasting, and performing night prayers (shalat qiyamullail). While if you pray, it might take around 4 hours, or sunnah fasting might take few months, but noble manners as taught by Rasulullah S.A.W would speed up the rise of your rank in front of Allah S.W.T. Therefore let us try our best, while our look is mended by Allah S.W.T in a good shape, don’t forget to mend our soul, our behaviors and attitudes, as taught by the Greatest Rasulullah S.A.W, on how we could behave in the noble way like the noblest manners of Rasulullah S.A.W.

He also mentioned that may Majelis Rasulullah S.A.W is poured with blessings. This kind of Majelis is loved by Nabi S.A.W, this kind of majelis makes the heart of Prophet S.A.W pleased, as those who attend this majelis are mostly from young people and children, the ones most loved by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. Because in every war, there were many young people took part. It has been said that once Sayyidina Abdurrahman bin Auf, the comrade of Rasulullah S.A.W was in the front line, he turned right and saw most of the troops were young, when he turned left, he also saw more young people. While he was prepared to face the enemies, suddenly someone nudged lightly Sayyidina Abdurrahman bin Auf from his right, hence he turned his head to the right and saw a young boy, teenager, “what do you want, O’ young man?” the teenager said, “O’ Abdurrahman please show me which one is Abu Jahal?” this young boy wanted to know which one was Abu Jahal. “Why did you want to find Abu Jahal?”, asked Sayyidina Abdurrahman bin Auf. The young boy replied, “I have heard that Abu Jahal has always hurt Rasulullah S.A.W. While in Mecca, before moving to Medina I have heard the news that this Abu Jahal was the person who always hurt Rasulullah S.A.W, the person who always disturbed Rasulullah S.A.W, so please you show me, O’ Abdurrahman, which one is Abu Jahal, I want to kill him”.

Not even the young boy finished talking, another one nudged lightly from the left, “what is it now?” Sayyidina Abdurrahman asked, and a young boy asked the same question with the first one. Sayyidina Abdurrahman bin Auf asked, “why would you look for Abu Jahal?”, the kid replied, “I have heard that this Abu Jahal is the enemy of Allah who always disturbed and made Rasulullah S.A.W upset in Mecca”. Sayyidina Abdurrahman bin Auf could see the spirit of these young men, not long after that, Sayyidina Abdurrahman bin Auf saw Abu Jahal was surrounded by other enemies. The arrow was on his left while Abu Jahal was on his right, hence Sayyidina Abdurrahman bin Auf told the young man on his right, “O’ young man, that is Abu Jahal”. Even before he finished giving instruction and warning, “be careful, because Abu Jahal is a cruel person”, the young man without hesitating quickly jumped in front of Abu Jahal, he threw his javelin towards the chest of Abu Jahal. The young kid on the left asked “which one is Abu Jahal?” Sayyidina Abdurrahman said, “that one”. Straightly the young boy jumped and approached Abu Jahal, he was excited to kill Abu Jahal because his hatred towards this cruel man who often hurt Rasulullah S.A.W. Look at these young people in the era of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, they voluntarily sacrifice their life for the sake of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. These are young people most loved by Rasulullah S.A.W.

Jazakallahu khair jaza our noble Guru fadhilatul ustadz ad da’i illaAllah Sayyidil Habib Musa bin Ja’far Assegaf mataanAllahu bihi, may Allah lengthen his age, may Allah pour blessing and happiness towards him in the world and beyond, and give usrah in his religious speeches throughout this world. Because he has just returned from England and has visited European countries. It has been spread all over the world, these religious speeches of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W which were weaken before, this is the time to rise and shine again. And tonight, we met with him, may Allah give easiness in his speeches and his guidance. Amin Allahumma Amin.

The Secret of a Fly’s Wings

قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
إِذَا وَقَعَ الذُّبَابُ فِي شَرَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَغْمِسْهُ ثُمَّ لِيَنْزِعْهُ فَإِنَّ فِي إِحْدَى جَنَاحَيْهِ دَاءً وَالْأُخْرَى شِفَاءً

(صحيح البخاري)

Rasulullah S.A.W declared:
“If a fly falls into your drink, drown it then take it out, indeed one of its wings has disease while the other wing has the remedy.” (Shahih Bukhari)

Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
All the Praise be to Allah S.W.T The Supreme Being, The God Almighty in the world and sky, The Only God and Everlasting even before the whole world has been created, until it is thoroughly created and being guided on how to maintain it by the most perfect guidance, until the world is over. He is (Allah) The Only God without the beginning or the end. Being existed with all creatures that must have the beginning and ending. While Allah is The Creator of the beginning and the end, hence Allah is never dependent on the words of beginning and end.

He is The Only One, The Everlasting S.W.T, “laysa kamitslihi syai’un” there is nothing like Him, He is incomparable. QS. Assyura: 11. And unite all the perfection within His Name, The Only God, Allah S.W.T throughout the periods of time. The more a man learns what the world has; he will understand further the secret of God’s Magnificence. The more he studies the sunnah of The Prophet S.A.W the messenger of Blessings, hence he will further understand how magnificent Allah Jalla Wa Alla and His lessons are.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
Within this noble gathering, gathered as many servants whom souls are seen and noticed by Rabbul Alamin, The Most Observer towards each deepest feeling, The Most Watcher towards all things we have done in life, The Most Omniscient what will happen tomorrow and The Supreme Being Who is able to turn and twist our condition in the future. He is The Only God, Allah Allah Jalla Wa Alla The Most Eternal, Allah who is always glorified and always grand in the whole world, overseeing this World Kingdom with perfection.

Now we have come to the hadits of The Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. As written in Shahih Bukhari, one hadits that sounds trivial but indeed reveals the secret of nobility and perfection as well as modernity of the lessons from Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. He S.A.W declared, “idza waqa’adzdzubabu fi syarabi ahadikum falyaghmishu tsumma liyanzi’hu fainna fi ihda janahaiyhi da’an wal ukhra syifa’an” if a fly falls into your glass, drown it, because one if its wings has disease while the other wing has its remedy.

It doesn’t mean that we must do this all the time. What we are discussing here is indeed not about a fly falling down into the glass that must be drown, because what it means from this hadits is not a command, but something that may neutralize the water from the fly’s poison. This has been proved by our scientists, as they studied about the insects on earth. They found out the enormous marvels of those insects, that a fly flaps its wings 200 to 400X (times) each second. And each second, the fly moves its wings 200 to 400X movements. And for an animal called “Ganjur” even flaps its wings 1000X each second. The scientists studied 4 kinds of insects, they learnt about those creatures and said that they just studied 4 kinds of insects while there are still left approximately more than 10 million kind of insects in this world. And certainly, they found out many discoveries and miracles from those insects, and they said that in each of the wings of a fly, there are elevator and depressor functions, which meant as the function of elevating and lowering its wings. And it moves 200 to 400X each second, and the amazing movement of the fly which always moves in many minutes or even hours. Such fast movement of the muscles that moves the wings of such a tiny fly is amazing.

Allah S.W.T commanded “ya ayyuhannaas..” O’ humankind, has been given to all of you one example, thus listen to the example I have given, those who admit God aside from Allah S.W.T will never be able to create a fly although from naught, although all of them who are worshipped other than Allah gather together.” (QS Al Hajj 73).

All that are worshipped other than Allah gather together to create a fly, they will never be able to do it, they will never be able to create a tiny fly although they are all united.

A tiny fly, as explained by researchers from Australia, in one of its wings they found 1 RESILIN GENE, a gene that has 2 functions, an industrial function and health function. Function towards the industry is that this Resilin gene is much more powerful and enormous than all kind of rubbers found and made by humankind on this earth. The kind of rubber is taken from rubber trees or any other thing, while the Resilin gene found in the wings of a fly is much stronger and more powerful if used as rubber as it has the powerful capacity to push and press as well as the enormous capacity to bounce and these are all found from the wings of a fly and other insect that can vibrate until 1000X each second, like a creature called ‘ganjur’ or other insects.

And for the health function, the Resilin gene is a gene that can cure diseases found in the arteries and nerves. There are a lot of blockages or clogging in the arteries (blood vessels) and these Resilin genes from the wings of a fly can cure such disease. This shows the magnificent and perfection and the intelligence of Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W.

If a fly falls into your glass, drown it. It means, the Resilin genes in its wings would be absorbed by the water that makes the water purified from bacteria found in the other wing.

Who informed The Prophet S.A.W that there is Resilin genes that can cure the clogging in the arteries or blood vessels while those genes are not even visible..?. We can see them through a microscope and it takes many years to study it, but The Prophet S.A.W knew that in the wings of a fly there are remedies and diseases, until the grains of the genes and cells of a fly’s wings had been discovered by Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W.

The more a person study about sunnah, hence the more perfect and modern his life would become. Ladies and gentlemen, this shows how magnificent it is our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, whose guidance seemed to be trivial if we have yet to study it. Those who don’t understand would certainly laugh, how could a fly that already falls into the water, should be drown? But The Prophet S.A.W knew “..fainna fi ihda jana haihi da’an wal ukhra syifa’an” because on its wings there are disease as well as remedy. And in fact, our scientists prove it, the depth and sharpness of the awareness of Muhammad Rasulullah S.A.W.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
This is the perfection of Allah S.W.T in creating the sunnah of The Prophet S.A.W, as written in Shahih Bukhari, Rasul S.A.W declared “if you sleep, turn off the light.” So simple, we might think that turning off the lights meant that we would save the oil of the lantern, at that time. But actually it was not that simple, in fact the human body produces energy when they sleep and the energy comes out from the body will mend the broken cells in the body, and those energies would be disturbed by the presence of lights. This kind of thing has been discovered by Muhammad Rasulullah S.A.W. If you sleep, turn off the lights. At that period of tiem, 14 centuries ago, they didn’t understand about body energy and such. The Prophet S.A.W has known it although at that era, people have yet to come to this kind of knowledge. The Prophet S.A.W taught it, follow His sunnah. Here comes the time to prove it that in fact The Prophet S.A.W knew that the energy which comes out from the human body when sleeping will be disturbed by the light. His command is clear, therefore if you sleep, please turn off the lights to make the energy in your body works well in mending your body. It shows the perfection of the lessons from Muhammad Rasullah S.A.W. and Rasul S.A.W declared “there is none of you (it means all of you) will face the Creator, the God and he will be standing alone, and nobody will accompany him” (when he stands up to face the Rabb) (Shahih Bukhari).

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
There are more than 10 million kinds of insects found on this earth and each of the insects has its own different kind of rules. Each insect has its own wing’s speed, ranging from 200 to 400X each second, or even could reach up to 1000X each second. While there are 10 million kinds of insects, then who controls this all? Could the insect systematize its own movement? Or other functions of its muscles and nerves? They could only live without knowing why they live. This is the nature of an insect, a bee with its own benefit, a fly or a mosquito, each represents the sign of the God’s magnificence. And all of them are under Allah’s willing. Recognizing this all, The Great Creator, He is Allah. Return to Him and not to the depth science on a fly or insects but study more on who the creator of it all is, Rabbul Alamin..Allahu Allahu Allahu.

And we all will stand before Allah, the most significant moment. When we contemplate it, we will stand up as our name is called, and we will find as explained fulan bin fulan to come forward in the presence of Allah. As written in Shahih Bukhari, when one of the people came forward to face Allah, he was a person who longed for Allah the most when he was alive on earth. Hence when he was taken to the presence of Allah S.W.T, Allah S.W.T hid all his sins, invisible by other people on that mahsyar field and what they could see were only the rewards of his good deeds. Why? “Whoever covers the flaws of other person (Moslem’s) in the world, hence on the judgment day, his sins wouldn’t be seen”. (Shahih Bukhari) He had a lot of sins but all were hid by Allah, and not exposed to others, the way any good deeds in the majestic trial on mahsyar field would be checked. On so and so date, day, month, you conducted this, who is the witness? The witnesses are your hands, and legs. “his hands, legs, and all part of his body are the witnesses”. The earth will witness and the angels too, that this person performed so and so thing, and by that time all his offspring would see, all his friends would see, and his family and relatives and the whole people on earth would see it. But for those who always hide the flaws of other Moslems in the world, Allah will hide their sins. Also for those who come forward to the presence of Allah, those who love Allah and certainly still have sins, Allah S.W.T declared, “you conducted this and that, conducted sins on so and so day, date and in a certain place,..?”, “yes I did, O’ Allah”, “and look at this one?”, Allah would keep on questioning. And he said, “true, O’ Allah, it’s true O’ Allah”. Then Allah S.W.T declared “in the world I protected you, people who don’t know their sins. Now in the Judgment Day I pardon you”. (Shahih Bukhari). So magnificent Allah is, towards those who want to get closer towards Allah Jalla Wa Alla.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
As written in Shahih Bukhari, about someone who always recites Surah Al Ikhlas and keeps on repeating it many times. This story has two versions, three versions in Shahih Bukhari and Shahih Muslim. Three different stories but with one meaning, the first story is the story of a person who, every time he finished reciting Surah Al Fatihah, would recite Surah Al Ikhlas and followed by other surah from Al Qur’an. (Al Fatihah – Al Ikhlas – other surah from Al. Qu’ran), and we have discussed this story many times.

The second story was from Sayyidatuna Aisyah radiyallahu anha, that someone performed the same thing when he was in war and when he was reported to Prophet S.A.W, Prophet S.A.W said, “ask him why did he do that?”, he replied, “I’m happy to recite it because in that surah, there are characters of Allah whom I love”, I love to recite the words “Allahu ahad” (Allah The Only God) in my heart, I will never bow down to others, no matter how many sins I conducted I will never bow down and worship other than Allah… only Allah, I am happy to call His Name....” When Prophet S.A.W came to know about this news, Prophet S.A.W said, “Please tell him that Allah loves him”. Why? Because he loves to call Allah’s Name, loves to recite the character of Allah, thus Allah also loves him. Ladies and gentlemen, the love towards Allah is the one certainly answered from all kind of love. We could love anyone, but the one that would be certainly answered is the love of Allah. If we love someone, it doesn’t guarantee that person loves us back, we love someone 100% and we cannot guarantee that he would love us 100%. But if someone loves Allah 100%, Allah will love him back 200%.

“Wa idza taqarraba ilayya abdi syibran taqarabbtu ilaihi dzira’an, waidza taqarabba ilayya abdi dzira’an taqarabbtu ilaihi ba’a,” when My servants get closer to Me one span, I will get closer to him one span of arm, My servants get closer to Me one span of arm, I will get even closer to him one fathom,” (Shahih Bukhari). This is a comparison that the love of Allah will be even bigger than our love for Allah. No matter how big your love and long for Allah is, His love towards us will be even bigger. Thus, who wants to refuse the love proposal from Allah and Allah’s desire towards us? Answer the desire of Allah S.W.T and the love of Allah towards us by loving and longing for Allah.

I am a sinner days and nights, and not qualified to long for Allah… In fact, the love and desire for Allah if comes from the sinners when they want to get closer to Allah and regret, Allah S.W.T will raise their level from the lowest rank to the most dignified rank. “Innallahu yuhibbu tawwabin wa yuhibbu muthathahirin, Innahu kaana tawwaaba” indeed Allah is The Most Gracious and Merciful. No matter how big the sins of the persons are, their request for forgiveness will be accepted by Rabbul Alamin.
As written in Shahih Bukhari, when Rasul S.A.W heard the news that his comrades said Sa’ad radiyallahu anhum declared, “Whoever dares to get closer to my wife and be together with my wife, I will behead them with this sword”. The comrades informed Rasul S.A.W, “O’ Rasulullah, this Sa’ad wants to make his own rules,” something like that. The Prophet S.A.W changed the topic of conversation into something gentle, while declaring “are you all confused about Sa’as being jealous and over protective?, I would even more jealous to you all compared to Sa’ad being protective towards his wife”. Sa’ad’s love towards his wife is far less meaningful compared to my love towards all of you and I am more protective to all of you, said Rasul S.A.W. What is the meaning? I would love and even more protective. For example, if Sa’ad saw other men together with his wife, he would attack them with a sword, hence Rasul S.A.W would never let us alone, there are many of his followers in hell, no matter how big their sins are, Rasul S.A.W would fight for them, fight and struggle for them all until there are none of his people left, as he will freed them all from hell. This shows how big it is the love and protectiveness from Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W towards all of us.

“Laqad jaa akum rasulun min anfusikum a’ziizun a’laihi maa a’nittum hariishun a’laikum bil mu’miniina raufurrahiim,” has come to you all, a Prophet who has deep thoughts about the catastrophes that all of you have, very protective to you all and he is very gentle towards faithful people. QS. At Taubah : 128.

As written in Shahih Muslim, when Nabiyullah Ibrahim a.s gave up on his followers who didn’t believe in Allah and Nabiyyullah Isa a.s gave up on his followers who didn’t believe in Allah and committed sins, the tears of The Prophet S.A.W fell down. Jibril (Gabriel) alaihis salam came down when The Prophet S.A.W cried while reciting, “ummatiy..ummatiy..”. Even in the book written by Imam Nawawi in Syarh Nawawi ala Shahih Muslim, Prophet S.A.W called “ummatiy..ummatiy”, it means Rasul S.A.W didn’t want to be separated from his followers. He S.A.W raised his hands and prayed to Allah “ummatiy..ummatiy..”, Jibril a.s came down to earth, “what makes you cry, O’ Rasulullah?”, Rasul said “all Prophets are free from duties and give up on their followers who committed sins while I don’t have the heart to let go my followers who committed sins, O’ Jibril”. Hence Jibril returned to Allah and reported “O’ Rabb, Muhammad S.A.W didn’t have the heart and could let go his followers who committed sins, always like that, he still want to defend his followers who are sinners”. Thus Allah S.W.T commanded Jibril to return to The Prophet S.A.W “kindly inform Muhammad, I will not disappoint him and will never make him sad”. Therefore The Prophet S.A.W will never have the followers who pass away as Moslem but committed sins, no matter how long they will be tortured in their graves and the fire of hell because of their sins, they will eventually arrive in heaven with the syafa’at from Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.

We perform silent prayer towards Allah S.W.T, may Allah S.W.T extend our longing feelings towards Prophet Muhammad S.A.W and Allah S.W.T. because after Prophet S.A.W said “I am more jealous (over protective) towards all of you, compared to Sa’ad” hence Rasul S.A.W continued his hadits “indeed Allah is even more protective that I am”. Allah loves us even more, therefore Allah created Prophet Muhammad S.A.W as the sign of His love towards us.

Ya Rahman Ya Rahim make our soul always respond towards the calls of Your longing feeling, we have heard Your statement O’ Allah “Man ahabba liqaa’iy ahbabtu liqa’ah, whoever long for meeting up with Allah, Allah also long for meeting them,” as written in Shahih Bukhari.

Rabbiy, grow the longing feeling within the soul of all Moslems, make our breath decorated with longing feeling for You, and make such longing feeling remove all sins, get rid of all catastrophes and bad luck, throw away all of our problems and troubles. Ya Rahman Ya Rahim kindly ensure all of our face will be brightened by the light of Your beauty on Yaumal qiyamah, those dazzling faces on Judgment Day, only staring at Allah Jalla Wa Alla. They are staring at the magnificence of Allah, the light of Allah’s beauty, light up their faces while there are empty and dark faces, they know that they will be returned to misery. Rabbiy kindly ensure that our face will be luminously bright with Your light, make sure that we extend our relationship with Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W, make sure we will be meeting up with The Prophet S.A.W at the palace of Rasulullah S.A.W, the most lavish palace in heaven, the palace of Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W, the highest palace in heaven is the palace of Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. Kindly ensure that we will always attend the noble majelis, majelis taklim, majelis maulid, and majelis shalawat. Kindly ensure that we will be together with Rasulullah S.A.W.

Ya Rahman Ya Rahim Ya Dzaljalali wal ikram, we light up the fire of love within our soul in which may You protect us from all disasters and catastrophes, pour on us the Blessing and Easiness, prosperity in the word and beyond, happiness in the world and beyond, easiness in the world and beyond, magnificence in the world and beyond, welfare in the world and beyond. O’ The Owner of the world and beyond, O’ The Creator of the whole world and beyond, O’ Thy who creates the world and ends it with Judgment Day, O’ The Owner of name since the offspring of Adam go through the world and beyond, kindly ensure our safety in the world and beyond.

Faquuluuu jamii’an (recite this together) Ya Allah, Ya Allah..Ya Allah..Ya Allah..

Faquuluuu jamii'an (recite this together) Laillahailallah Laillahailallah Laillahailallah Muhammadurrasulullah.

Our program is followed by together praying for all Moslems, as mentioned in hadits written in Shahih Muslim, Rasul S.A.W declared “whoever prays for his Moslem brother, the angels recite “amin walaka mitsluh” amin and for you what you have prayed for your brother.”

We pray for the wellbeing of all Moslems, those who already passed away, and Moslems who suffer from tortures in their grave, may they be given easiness by Allah S.W.T. Those who are already comfortable may be given more pleasures, and for those are still alive on this earth, may Allah eliminate all troubles, sadness and catastrophes, and be given help by Allah S.W.T. Therefore ladies and gentlemen, we pray for all Moslems, and as big as the number of these Moslems, each of their good deeds will return to us. Hence may Allah answer our prayer and within this prayer there is a hope, requesting the authorities to bring wisdom and prosperity for all of us. The prayer requesting Allah, to give us the leaders who can demolish tyranny and help the weak, the leaders who love faithful people and fight for dignity and justice in this biggest Moslem country in the world.
