bismillahirrahmanirrahim , in the name of Allah the most gracious and the most merciful , Oh Allah ! send us blessing on our prophet muhammad and family of Muhammad peace upon him .
alhamdulillah , thanks to Allah for give me some leisure time so that I have a chance to post one more interesting and exhilarating entry .
here , i would like to share my experience conducting an 'usrah' at SMKA Matang , Kuching .
but , I conduct the usrah just for a few times ..pity me .
first and foremost , the first time I went there was just after mid sem examination ended . After asar prayer , i went back to my room and change my suit . Around an hour after that , abang zarif who was our loyal driver for this second semester came to fetch us . journey to the school take quite much time as the school located outskirt of Kuching nearby the Matang National Park . Approximately one hour to arrive there .
alhamdulillah , after isyak prayer , we started our 'usrah' by dividing into a few small groups . at that night , we 'tadabbur' surah al saf ,sentence number 10 to 14 . This surah was conveying us to have a full of spirit of jihad on the route of Allah .
let me give you the translation ;
Surah as-saf :-
(10)-
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَارَةٍ تُنْجِيكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?-
(11)-
تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that you strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if you but knew!
(12)-
يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ وَمَسَاكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement.
(13)-
وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And another (favour will He bestow,) which ye do love,- help from Allah and a speedy victory. So give the Glad Tidings to the Believers.
(14)-
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا أَنْصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنْصَارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنْصَارُ اللَّهِ ۖ فَآمَنَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَفَرَتْ طَائِفَةٌ ۖ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ
O ye who believe! Be you helpers of Allah: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.
sodaqallahul azim ...
subhanallah ! very beautiful surah ,
at ayah 10 , Allah asked us ,human being , ( I make the sentence simpler way , so that you guys can understand more, but sorry if I make mistake of it )
-do you want to know what is the best bargain for you in the world ? which is keep you away from Hell ?
and Allah revealed it at the next sentence ,
-by believe in Him and His Prophet and strive in the Cause of Allah with property and our effort .
and Allah told us , that will be the best for you , if you know ..subhanallah !
In addition , Allah will forgive our sins and reward us with His paradise !
and more , Allah will help us and give us victory !!
dont you feel this quotes from Holy Al-Quran are really powerful and motivating !
in short , when we believe in Allah and sacrifice our property and energy for Islam , He will give a plenty of rewards for you ; forgive our sins , a place in Heaven , favor in the world and victory !
He not only give His reward in dunya but also in hereafter . subhanallah !
at the last sentence for this surah , it was about a conversation between prophet Isa peace upon him and his followers . When prophet Isa asked the 'hawariyun' , who will be my helpers to the work of Allah . With no doubt , the hawariyun accept the call by saying "We are Allah's helper." Despite the group of hawariyun only consist of 12 peoples , but they dont feel any fear in theirselves . Allah ended the surah with a promise that Allah will help them and become the ones that prevailed ...
subhanallah !!
after the 'tadabbur' session finished , the students asked some questions that makes me surprised ,
they asked us about 4rabia , Malala ( I even dont know who was her) and so on . subhanallah , I dont expect a secondary school will asked this type of questions . They really aware and concerned of the world right now .
As the time was ticking fast and the usrah have to call it a day .
the usrah was helded on 15 February just after the school's break finished , this time I was give a responsibility to conduct my own halaqah or circle , its okay . I have conduct many halaqah before . First thing first , I started my circle by ice-breaking , even though I was from peninsular , to be specific ,Penang Island and I couldn't speak in Sarawak dialect well , but they still can understand what I said . I was amazed as most of them want to be an 'ustaz' in their future and above all , one of them wanted to build the glory of Islam like during Uthmaniyah empire !
After finish be acquainted with them , we tadabur surah al.mukminun ayah 1 to 5 .
here , Allah told us the tips to success in his world ,. Firstly by 'khusyuk' in solat !
but why solat ?
numerous time the word of solat is repeated in our holy quran ...this is because
solat is fundamental thing in our live as it shows how we concern with our relationship with our Creator ! and besides , by solat we can avoid ourselves from deceit of syaitan laknatullah .
for instance : surah al ankabut :46
اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ
Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows the (deeds) that ye do.
subhanallah !
when we take a best care of solah , Allah also will take the best care of us !
the third usrah was helded on last Thursday , 18 February , as usual , we started our usrah by tadabbur the holy quran , surah attaubah 18 to 23 , at ayah 18,
إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَى الزَّكَاةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ ۖ فَعَسَىٰ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ
The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity, and fear none (at all) except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance.
Allah told us to take care of masjid . Masjid is very important for all muslims . In fact , the first sculpture that rasulullah build after hijrah from Mecca was MASJID ! at that time ,Masjid was not only for religious purposes , but for many things ; knowledge , society , and even economy ! but nowadays , we looked to our masjid , beautiful with ceramic , diamonds and artistic design but only be use for prayers and islam events . We should feel sad with this current situation as it presented to us that islam is weak ...and dying !
after tadabur , in humble , I gave them some tips how to excel in study . this was the last time I'll have usrah with them ..:'(
lastly , I run an activity which make them felt 'sentap' or heart broken . I asked each of them to make a simple last words for me on a piece of paper like a gift . after I have read , I teared it off...huhuhu T_T the rational is how they feel if someone not appreciate their gift , for sure , angry and sad , same goes to me , I related to them that all the things that I have shared were like a gift from me but if its felt to the deaf ear , it same like tearing the gift .
thats all from me , hopefully I ll meet them again .
If not in dunya , insya allah in Paradise .
