September 2007
Orang yang tidak healthy rohani mereka theyre not healthy overall
Preparations for Ramadhan
o not about new curtains, new clothes & shoes
o its about our ROHANI increase amal ibadah!
o Increase the quality of our good deeds
Umur kita each second semakin berkurang dont we realise that?
Dunia semakin lama jauh di belakang, akhirat semakin dekat di
hadapan.
Bila kita mati
o Our deeds will be brought along with us
o kasut baru, langsir baru.. kerusi baru.. etc. will be left behind.
Berbahagialah kamu kerana berjumpa Ramadhan
Ramadhan is a month full of barakah, keagungan & ada di dalamnya
one night which is better than 1000 months lailatul qadr.
Arrival of Ramadhan
o Gembira or sedih?
o Beban atau amalan?
Ade yang happy cus dapat ganti langsir lama dengan yang baru. Some
are happy cus dapat beli baju raya baru.. keluar makan-
makan/shopping-shopping with friends.. etc. wrong type of joy to
greet Ramadhan!
In Ramadhan, the pahala sunnah deeds is equivalent to amalan wajib.
Pahala amalan wajib is multiplied 70 kali!
1000 bulan = ______ years?
We dont know, cus we dont count it since its not money!
If its money, we would have counted it with scrutiny.
Its equivalent to 183 years 4 months.
Awal Ramadhan masjid penuh sampai tak muat, walaupun 4 tingkat
End of Ramadhan ibadah kurang, ramai dah start shopping @
geylang. (???)
Rasulullah woke his family members to grab the opportunities of
pahala at the end of Ramadhan
Our age is much shorter than those in the days of Nabi Nuh (some
were 800 years old.. 900 years old..)
For us, average lifespan is 60 years.
Baligh on average around 15 years old thus only 45 years of wajib
ibadah.
In Ramadhan if 45 times experience lailatul qadr,
(some simple maths here) and one of lailatul qadr = 1000 bulan, what
about 45 lailatul qadr? Its as though weve done ibadah for thousands
of years!
Hence, although our lifetime is short, we are blessed with countless
advantages.
Siapkan hati untuk Ramadhan
o We should feel jubilant cus we are able to solat terawih
o Grab the opportunity to solat 23 rakaats
o Pernah tak normal solah (other than Ramadhan) that offers us
rawatib prayers of 23 rakaats?
Solat tasbih (prescribed by Rasulullah)
o Its best to do it once a day, or else 3 times a week, or else
once a week, or else once a month, or else once a year.. the
least is once in a lifetime.
Bersihkan hati untuk Ramadhan
o Or else, we will regard Ramadhan as burden, bukan amalan.
o Ada orang yang hati susah.. e.g. restaurant owners cus no
profits during Ramadhan. (but dont they think of their profits
made from other months?)
o It is all about ones iman.
o Sesiapa yang gembira kerana Ramadhan, ALLAH haramkan
tubuh mereka dari api neraka.
Azam!
o E.g. Bulan Ramadhan ni nak khatam Quran
o We might never know that this may be the last Ramadhan for us
o If dulu terawih prayers only on some days, tanam azam to carry
out terawih prayers penuh sepanjang Ramadhan.
o If dulu tak pernah qiamulail, now nak qiamulail.
o Increase sedekah. The best is to sedekah mosques for its
expenses.. (ALLAH akan terangi kubur orang itu)
Isi Ramadhan with Amal Ibadah
o In Ramadhan, ALLAH opens all gates of heavens seluas-
luasnya, dah tutup pintu neraka serapat-rapatnya.
o Those who sengaja buat dosa they sengaja buka pintu
neraka.
o It would be a waste if Ramadhan datang.. Ramadhan pergi.. but
were still the same!
Respect Ramadhan
o Ramadhan is a guest of ALLAH
o Thus, we should respect Ramadhan!
o ALLAH descends Quran to Prophet Muhammad in the month
of Ramadhan
o Sedih to see the environment in Geylang tak nampak
suasana Islam
Rasulullah pernah menangis. Sahabat bertanya why he was crying.
Rasulullah said a hadith Qudsi (from ALLAH) ALLAH sebenarnya
malu hendak menyeksa orang-orang tua yang sudah beruban, but they
themselves tak malu dengan ALLAH.
Rasulullah said, Barangsiapa tidak puasa tanpa uzur (period, illness..
etc), maka satu hari puasa yang kau tinggalkan di bulan Ramadhan
can never be replaced with a year of fasting.
It shows how mulia Ramadhan is.
Setiap amal manusia is for him/herself, except for puasa.
o Sesungguhnya amal puasa hambaKu adalah untukKu, dan Aku
akan beri pahala sebanyak mana Aku mahu.
o Even malaikat tidak tahu the amount of pahala puasa kita
Rasulullah nasihat Jangan tunjukkan yang kita puasa. Unlike solah, it
can be recognised through sukuk & sujud.. etc.
Ibadah haji is a good deed, tapi mudah riak (bangga diri)
o Mentang-mentang baru balik haji, sudah action
o Orang naik haji, ada yang nak dipanggil gelaran haji.
o Rasulullah went for haji a lot of times, but have we ever heard of
his name as Haji Rasulullah??
We should be honest with ourselves to know if we are sick to excuse
ourselves from fasting.
Jangan tanya orang if kita sakit, tanya iman kita. ALLAH wants us to
be honest with ourselves.
If we alone, tak ada orang tahu if we makan ke tidak. But why we do
not eat despite being alone? Cus kita tak makan kerana iman, kerana
ALLAH.
Puasa trains us to tahan diri from perkara yang boleh membatalkan
puasa & pahala puasa.
Ada puasa yang tak batal, tapi pahala puasanya batal. How?
Puasa tidak batal tak makan, minum, & sexual commitment.
Tapi pahala puasa tak dapat. Be careful! There are 5 things than can
batalkan pahala puasa kita.
1. Ikut kemahuan nafsu
Buy a lot of food for buka sampai kaki meja menggigil.
15 minutes to buka puasa restless. E.g. Marahkan jam
sebab lambat sangat.. etc.
But if we can be patient the whole day, why towards the
end we become so impatient?
Bila dah buka, minum air sampai tak boleh makan
langsung (food wasted)
Makan simple2, so can solat with ease and on time.
2. Mengumpat
Kita tak perasan yang kita mengumpat or ungkap kata-
kata yang buruk (hina, maki hamun.. etc)
3. Bohong
4. Menjadi saksi palsu
We have Aidilfitri. During Ramadhan, why dont we have AidilQuran?
Celebrate Al-Quran.
Theres no AidilQuran in Singapore, but make it present in our homes.
There are fathers at home who do not know how to read the Quran.
Hiasi rumahmu dengan bacaan Al-Quran (not just placing the Holy
book on the shelf)
If we have a thick stack of CD collections, slip in some Quran CDs too!
Just like a plate of rice, perlu kuah, daging.. etc. Same goes to music.
People are willing to spend money on favourite song CDs.
Quran CD $5.00 but still minta murah or ragu-ragu to buy!
Bila dengar bacaan Quran, keep silent.
Just listening to Quran recitation dah dapat pahala, apalagi if we
read/recite them?
The best is to sedekah dalam bulan Ramadhan. But jangan minta
dibalas. (E.g. bila dah hantar lauk to jiran, jangan berdiri di depan pintu
jiran to harapkan lauk kembali. lol)
Ramadhan is a bulan suci BANYAKKAN AMAL!
