Santapan Jiwa : Ketawa di dunia menangis di Akhirat

Ketawa di dunia menangis di Akhirat

Dalam satu hadith, Nabi saw bersabda'Banyak tertawa dan tergelak-gelak itu mematikan hati'.

Banyak tertawa menjadikan hati semakin malap dan tidak berseri. Lampu hati tidak bersinar dan akhirnya terus tidakmenyala. Hati tidak berfungsi lagi.

Nabi Muhammad melarang ummatnya darigelak-ketawa yang melampuai batas. Menurut hadith, banyak ketawa menghilangkan akal dan ilmu. Barangsiapa ketawa tergelak-gelak, akan hilang satu pintu daripada pintu ilmu.

Kenapa dilarang ketawa berdekah-dekah?Dalam keadaan suka yang keterlaluan, hati kita lalai dan lup! a suasana akhiratdan alam barzakh yang bakal kita tempuhi kelak. Sedangkan dahsyatnya alamtersebut tidak dapat dinukilkan dalam sebarang bentuk media. Kita sedangmenuju ke satu destinasi yang belum tentu menjanjikan kebahagiaan abadi.Sepatutnya kita berfikir bagaimana kedudukan kita di sana nanti, sama adaberbahagia atau menderita. Berbahagia di dunia bersifat sementara tetapidi akhirat berpanjangan tanpa had. Penderitaan di dunia hanya seketika tetapi di akhirat azab yang berterusan dan berkekalan. Merenung dan memikirkankeadaan ini cukup untuk kita menghisab diri serta menyedarkan diri kita tentang bahaya yang akan ditempuh.

"Tertawa-tawa di masjid menggelapkan suasana kubur". Demikian ditegaskan oleh Nabi saw. Kita sedia maklum, kuburlah rumah yang bakal kita duduki dalam tempoh yang panjang. Kita keseorangan dan kesunyian tanpa teman dan keluarga. Kubur adalah satu pintu ke syurgaatau neraka. Betapa dalam kegelapan di sana, kita digelapkan lagi dengan sikap kita yang suka terbahak-bahak di dunia. !

Ketawa yang melampaui batas menjadikan kita kurang berilmu. Apabila kurang ilmu, akal turun menjadi kurang. Kepekaanterhadap akhirat juga menurun. Nabi saw pernah bersabda: "Barangsiapa tertawa-tawanescaya melaknat akan dia oleh Allah (Al-Jabbar). Mereka yang banyak tertawa di dunia nescaya banyak menangis di akhirat."

Saidina Ali sentiasa mengeluh '....jauhnyaperjalanan ... sedikitnya bekalan ....' Walaupun hebat zuhud dan ibadatbeliau, namun merasakan masih kurang lagi amalannya. Betapa kita yang kerdildan malas beribadat ini sanggup bergembira 24 jam.

Dalam hadith lain, Nabi saw bersabda"Barangsiapa banyak tertawa-tawa, nescaya meringankan oleh api neraka."Maksudnya mudah dimasukkan ke dalam neraka.

Kita tidak pula dilarang menunjukkanperasaan suka terhadap ses! uatu. Cuma yang dilarang ialah berterusan gembiradengan ketawa yang berlebihan. Sebaik-baik cara bergembira ialah sepertiyang dicontohkan oleh Nabi saw. Baginda tidak terbahak-bahak tetapi hanyatersenyum menampakkan gigi tanpa bersuara kuat.

Para sahabat pernah berkata "Ketawasegala nabi ialah tersenyum, tetapi ketawa syaitan itu tergelak-gelak."

Kewajipan kita

Jagalah Maruah Saudara Kita

Pandangan dan sikap Islam dalam menjaga maruah, kemuliaan dan kehormatan diri seseorang amat tegas dan keras. Islam tidak membenarkan seseorang muslim menyakiti perasaan seorang saudaranya sesama muslim dengan perkataan menghina, sama ada di hadapannya atau di belakangnya.

Firman Allah (terjemahannya): Hai orang-orang yang beriman, jauhilah kebanyakan dari syak wasangka, sesungguhnya sebahagian daripada syak wasangka itu adalah dosa dan janganlah kamu mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain dan janganlah sebahagian kamu mengumpat sebahagian yang lain. Sukakah salah seorang di antara kamu memakan daging saudaranya yang sudah mati? Maka tentulah kamu berasa jijik kepadanya. Dan bertakwalah kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Penerima taubat lagi Maha Penyayang. (Al-Hujurat, 48:12)

Dalam satu hadis sahih, Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda (maksudnya): "Setiap muslim diharamkan untuk mencerobohi darah, harta dan maruah saudaranya sesama muslim."

Jika Islam tidak menentukan sikap yang tegas seperti ini tentu akan terjadi perbalahan antara seluruh manusia, manakala kemuliaan serta maruah diri mereka akan ditindas. Akhirnya musnahlah seluruh hak dan kebebasan.

Jangan Ceritakan Aib Orang

Bertolak atas kesedaran ini pula Islam memerintahkan kita untuk tidak menceritakan aib orang lain demi menjaga maruah dan peribadinya.

Rasulullah s.a.w. telah bersabda kepada seseorang yang menggesa Maiz untuk mengaku berzina sehingga dijatuhkan hukuman rejam, "Jika engkau tutup dengan bajumu tentu lebih baik untukmu."

Rasulullah s.a.w. juga bersabda, "Seluruh umatku akan memperoleh pengampunan, kecuali orang-orang yang suka menyebarkan aib orang lain."

Dan baginda bersabda, "Sesiapa yang menutupi kesalahan seorang muslim, nescaya Allah akan menutupi (kesalahannya) di dunia dan akhirat."

Allah s.a.w. berfirman dalam al-Qur'an al-Karim (terjemahannya): Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang ingin agar (berita) perbuatan yang amat keji itu tersiar di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman bagi mereka azab yang pedih di dunia dan akhirat. (An-Nur, 24:19)

Santapan Jiwa : Hidup kita cuma 3 hari

Hidup kita cuma 3 hari

1. Semalam : Sudah menjadi sejarah
2. Hari ini : Apa yang sedang kita lakukan
3. Esok : Hari yang belum pasti

Hisablah hari pertama semoga hari yang kedua kita lebih baik dari hari yang pertama.Jangan mengharap hari yang ketiga kerana mungkin ajal kita pada hari yang kedua.

HIDUP CUMA DALAM 2 NAFAS:

1. Nafas Naik
2. Nafas Turun
Hargailah Nafas yang naik kerana udara yang disedut adalah pemberian Allah secara percuma dan carilah keredhaanNya dalam menggunakannya.Bertaubatlah dalam Nafas yang kedua kerana mungkin nafas itu yang terakhir keluar dari tubuh bersama Nyawa
dan Roh untuk meninggalkan dunia yang fana ini.

HIDUP YANG ABADI CUMA ADA 2 TEMPAT:

1. Kekal di dalam neraka
2. Kekal di dalam syurga

Ingatlah kecelakaan neraka itu amat mengerikan dankita hanya diyakinkan oleh keyakinan kita kepada rukun IMAN . Rukun Iman itu pula ada 6 dan hilang salah satu darinya maka hilanglah ia.

Kelazatan dan kesejahteraan syurga itu maha HEBAT .Tidak terduga oleh fikiran kita dan untuk mendapatkannya terjemahkan rukun ISLAM yang 5 itu dan puncaknya adalah SOLAT...

Amat sukar untuk dipercayai bagi yang ingin ke SYURGA tetapi tidak bersolat, umpama seorang yang mahu menaiki kapalterbang tetapi tidak mempunyai BOARDING PASS.

Dan mereka yang sengaja melalaikan solat, umpama mengeposkan sepucuk surat tanpa melekatkan setem apabila ditanya bagaimana surat itu akan sampai pada penerimanya... lalu dia pun berkata setemnya akan dihantar kemudian. Ada 2 penyelesaian dalam kes ini

1. Dia mungkin didenda
2. Segala suratnya masuk tong sampah.

Oleh itu, tidakkah kita semestinya bersyukur atas segala nikmat yang Allah kurniakan kepada kita... .
Sekurang-kurangnya Allah telah beri udara secara percuma untuk kita berzikir mengingati Allah setiap detik dan ketika, hinggalah kita kembali kepada Allah dalam keadaan jiwa yang tenang... lalu masuk kedalam syurga dalam keadaan kita redha dan Allah meredhai.

Bahkan ada satu tarbiyyah khusus bagi ummat
Islam dengan adanya Puasa Ramadhan untuk menyeimbangkan kesehatan

Santapan Jiwa : 6 perkara Allah sembunyikan

6 perkara Allah sembunyikan

Allah SWT selesai menciptakan Jibrail as dengan bentuk yang cantik, dan Allah menciptakan pula baginya 600 sayap yang panjang , sayap itu antara timur dan barat (ada pendapat lain menyatakan 124, 000 sayap). Setelah itu Jibrail as memandang dirinya sendiri dan berkata:

"Wahai Tuhanku, adakah engkau menciptakan makhluk yang lebih baik daripada aku?."

Lalu Allah swt berfirman yang bermaksud.. "Tidak"

Kemudian Jibrail as berdiri serta solat dua rakaat kerana syukur kepada Allah swt. dan tiap-tiap rakaat itu lamanya 20,000 tahun.

Setelah selesai Jibrail as solat, maka Allah SWT berfirman yang bermaksud. "Wahai Jibrail, kamu telah menyembah aku dengan ibadah yang bersungguh-sungguh, dan tidak ada seorang pun yang menyembah kepadaku seperti ibadat kamu, akan tet api di akhir zaman nanti akan datang seorang nabi yang mulia yang paling aku cintai, namanya Muhammad.' Dia mempunyai umat yang lemah dan sentiasa berdosa, sekiranya mereka itu mengerjakan solat dua rakaat yang hanya sebentar sahaja, dan mereka dalam keadaan lupa serta serba kurang, fikiran mereka melayang bermacam-macam dan dosa mereka pun
besar juga. Maka demi kemuliaann Ku dan ketinggianKu, sesungguhnya solat mereka itu aku lebih sukai dari solatmu itu. Kerana mereka mengerjakan solat atas perintahKu, sedangkan kamu mengerjakan solat bukan atas perintahKu."

Kemudian Jibrail as berkata: "Ya Tuhanku, apakah yang Engkau hadiahkan kepada mereka sebagai imbalan ibadat mereka?"

Lalu Allah berfirman yang bermaksud. "Ya Jibrail, akan Aku berikan syurga Ma'waa sebagai tempat tinggal..."

Kemudian Jibrail as meminta i zin kepada Allah untuk melihat syurga Ma'waa. Setelah Jibrail as mendapat izi n dari Allah SWT maka pergilah Jibrail as dengan mengembangkan sayapnya dan terbang, setiap dia mengembangkan dua sayapnya dia boleh menempuh jarak perjalanan 3000 tahun, terbanglah malaikat jibrail as selama 300 tahun sehingga ia merasa letih dan lemah dan akhirnya dia turun singgah berteduh di bawah
bayangan sebuah pohon dan dia sujud kepada Allah SWT lalu ia berkata dalam sujud:

"Ya Tuhanku apakah sudah aku menempuh jarak perjalanan setengahnya, atau sepertiganya, atau seperempatnya?"

Kemudian Allah swt berfirman yang bermaksud. "Wahai Jibrail, kalau kamu dapat terbang selama 3000 tahun dan meskipun aku memberikan kekuatan kepadamu seperti kekuatan yang engkau miliki, lalu kamu terbang seperti yang telah kamu lakukan, nescaya kamu tidak akan sampai kepada sepersepuluh dari beberapa perpuluhan yang telah kuberikan kepada umat Muhammad terhadap imbalan solat dua rakaat yang me reka kerjakan.... ."

Marilah sama2 kita fikirkan dan berusaha lakukan... Sesungguhnya Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan enam perkara iaitu :

* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan redha-Nya dalam taat.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan murka-Nya di dalam maksiat.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan nama-Nya yang Maha Agung di dalam Al-Quran.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan Lailatul Qadar di dalam bulan Ramadhan.
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan solat yang paling utama di dalam solat (yang lima waktu).
* Allah S.W.T telah menyembunyikan (tarikh terjadinya) hari kiamat didalamsemua hari.

Semoga kita mendapat berkat daripada ilmu ini. Wallahualam

Kalau rajin... Tolong sebarkan cerita ini kepada saudara Muslim Muslimat yang lain agar menjadi renungan dan pelajaran kepada kita semua. Ilmu yang bermanfaat ialah salah satu amal yang berkekalan bagi orang yang mengajarnya meskipun dia sudah meninggal dunia...

Santapan Jiwa : 10 amalan terbaik tapi terbalik

10 amalan terbaik tapi terbalik

Marilah kita bermuhasabah atau menilai dan menghitung kembali tentang amalan harian kita. Kadang-kadang kita akan dapati amalan kita adalah terbalik atau bertentangan dari apa yang patut dilakukan dan dituntut oleh Islam. Mungkin kita tidak sedar atau telah dilalaikan atau terikut-ikut dengan budaya hidup orang lain. Perhatikan apa yang dipaparkan dibawah sebagai contoh amalan yang terbalik:-

1. Amalan kenduri arwah beberapa malam yang dilakukan oleh keluarga simati selepas sesuatu kematian (malam pertama, kedua, ketiga, ketujuh dan seterusnya) adalah terbalik dari apa yang dianjurkan oleh Rasulullah di mana Rasulullah telah menganjurkan jiran tetangga memasak makanan untuk keluarga simati untuk meringankan kesusahan dan kesedihan mereka. Keluarga tersebut telah ditimpa kesedihan, terpaksa pula menyedia makanan dan belanja untuk mereka yang datang membaca tahlil. Tidakkah mereka yang hadir makan kenduri tersebut khuatir kalau-kalau mereka termakan harta anak yatim yang ditinggalkan oleh simati atau harta peninggalan simati yang belum dibahagikan kepada yang berhak menurut Islam?

2. Kalau hadir ke kenduri walimatul urus (kenduri kahwin) orang kerap Assalamu'alaikum berisi (hadiah wang yang diberi semasa bersalam). Kalau tak ada duit nak dikepit dalam tangan, maka segan ia nak pergi makan kenduri. Tetapi kalau ia menziarah orang mati, tidak segan pula Assalamu'alaikum tak berisi. Sepatutnya kalau menziarah keluarga si matilah kita patut memberi sedekah. Kalau ke kenduri kahwin, tak bagi pun tak apa kerana tuan rumah panggil untuk diberi makan bukan untuk ia menambah pendapatan.

3. Ketika menghadiri majlis pemimpin negara kita berpakaian cantik kemas dan segak tetapi bila mengadap Allah baik di rumah maupun di masjid, pakaian lebih kurang saja bahkan ada yang tak berbaju. Tidakkah ini suatu perbuatan yang terbalik.

4. Kalau menjadi tetamu di rumah orang dan di beri jamuan, kita rasa segan nak makan sampai habis apa yang dihidangkan kerana rasa segan dan malu, sedangkan yang dituntut dibanyakkan makan dan dihabiskan apa yang dihidang supaya tuan rumah rasa gembira dan tidak membazir.

5. Kalau bersolat sunat di masjid amat rajin, tapi kalau di rumah, sangat malas. Sedangkan sebaik-baiknya solat sunat banyak dilakukan di rumah seperti yang dianjurkan oleh Rasulullah untuk mengelakkan rasa riak.

6. Bulan puasa adalah bulan mendidik nafsu termasuk nafsu makan yang berlebihan tetapi kebanyakan orang mengaku bahawa dalam carta perbelanjaan setiap rumah orang Islam akan kita dapati perbelanjaan di bulan puasa adalah yang tertinggi dalam setahun. Sedangkan sepatutnya perbelanjaan di bulan puasa yang terendah. Bukankah terbalik amalan kita?

7. Kalau nak mengerjakan haji, kebanyakan orang akan membuat kenduri sebelum bertolak ke Mekah dan apabila balik dari Mekah tak buat kenduri pun. Anjuran berkenduri dalam Islam antaranya ialah kerana selamat dari bermusafir, maka dibuat kenduri, bukan kerana nak bermusafir, maka dibuat kenduri. Bukankah amalan ini terbalik? Atau kita mempunyai tujuan lain.

8. Semua ibubapa amat bimbang kalau-kalau anak mereka gagal dalam periksa. Maka dihantarlah ke kelas tuisyen walau pun banyak belanjanya. Tapi kalau anak tak boleh baca Quran atau solat, tak bimbang pula bahkan tak mahu hantar tuisyen baca Quran atau kelas khas mempelajari Islam. Kalau guru tuisyen sanggup dibayar sebulan RM20.00 satu pelajaran 8 kali hadir tapi kepada Tok Guru Quran nak bayar RM15.00 sebulan 20 kali hadir belajar pun menggeletar tangan. Bukankah terbalik amalan kita? Kita sepatutnya lebih berbimbang jika anak tidak dapat baca Al Quran atau bersolat dari tidak lulus periksa.

9. Kalau bekerja mengejar rezeki Allah tak kira siang malam, pagi petang, mesti pergi kerja. Hujan atau ribut tetap diharungi kerana hendak mematuhi peraturan kerja. Tapi ke rumah Allah (masjid) tak hujan, tak panas, tak ribut pun tetap tak datang ke masjid. Sungguh tak malu manusia begini, rezeki Allah diminta tapi nak ke rumahNya segan dan malas.

10. Seorang isteri kalau nak keluar rumah samada dengan suami atau tidak, bukan main lagi berhias. Tetapi kalau duduk di rumah, masyaAllah. Sedangkan yang dituntut seorang isteri itu berhias untuk suaminya, bukan berhias untuk orang lain. Perbuatan amalan yang terbalik ini membuatkan rumahtangga kurang bahagia.

Santapan Jiwa : Kisah pokok semalu dan wanita moden

Kisah pokok semalu dan wanita moden

Pada suatu hari, Rasulullah s.a.w berjalan-jalan bersama puteri baginda, Saidatina Fatimah r.a. Setibanya mereka berdua di bawah sebatang pohon tamar, Fatimah terpijak pohon semalu, kakinya berdarah lalu mengadu kesakitan.

Fatimah mengatakan kepada bapanya apalah gunanya pohon semalu itu berada di situ dengan nada yang sedikit marah. Rasulullah dengan
tenang berkata kepada puteri kesayangannya itu bahawasanya pohon semalu itu amat berkait rapat dengan wanita. Fatimah terkejut. Rasulullah menyambung kata-katanya lagi. Para wanita hendaklah mengambil pengajaran daripada pohon semalu ini dari 4 aspek.

Pertama, pohon semalu akan kuncup apabila disentuh. Ini boleh diibaratkan bahawa wanita perlu mempunyai perasaan malu (pada tempatnya).

Kedua, semalu mempunyai duri yang tajam untuk mempertahankan dirinya. Oleh itu, wanita perlu tahu mempertahankan diri dan maruah sebagai seorang wanita muslim.

Ketiga, semalu juga mempunyai akar tunjang yang sangat kuat dan mencengkam bumi. Ini bermakna wanita solehah hendaklah mempunyai keterikatan yang sangat kuat dengan Allah Rabbul Alamin.

Dan akhir sekali, semalu akan kuncup dengan sendirinya apabila senja menjelang. Oleh itu, para wanita sekalian, kembalilah ke rumahmu apabila waktu semakin senja.

Ambillah pengajaran dari semalu walau pun ia hanya sepohon tumbuhan yang kecil.

Air mata Nabi Adam A.S

Air Mata Nabi Adam

Tahukah saudara semenjak Nabi Adam terkeluar dari syurga akibat tipu daya iblis, beliau menangis selama 300 tahun. Nabi Adam tidak mengangkat kepalanya ke langit kerana terlampau malu kepada Allah swt.

Beliau sujud di atas gunung selama seratus tahun. Kemudian menangis lagi sehingga air matanya mengalir di jurang Serantip. Dari air mata Nabi Adam itu Allah tumbuhkan pohon kayu manis dan pokok cengkih. Beberapa ekor burung telah meminum air mata beliau. Burung itu berkata, "Sedap sungguh air ini."

Nabi Adam terdengar kata-kata burung tersebut. Beliau menyangka burung itu sengaja mengejeknya kerana perbuatan derhakanya kepada Allah. Ini membuatkan Nabi Adam semakin hebat menangis. Akhirnya Allah telah menyampaikan wahyu yang bermaksud, "Hai Adam, sesungguhnya aku belum pernah menciptakan air minum yang lebih lazat dan hebat dari air mata taubatmu itu."

Apa Yang Akan Ditanya :-

Dalam sehari ada 24 jam. Dalam sejam manusia bernafas sebanyak 4320 kali. Dalam setiap kali bernafas Allah akan tanya dua perkara semasa nafas keluar dan masuk. Pertanyaan itu ialah, "Apa perbuatan yang kita lakukan semasa nafas itu keluar dan masuk ?

Tiga Cahaya Di Hari Kiamat

Di hari kiamat ada tiga cahaya yang berlainan :
* Cahaya yang pertama seperti bintang-bintang.
* Cahaya yang kedua seperti cahaya bulan.
* Cahaya yang ketiga seperti cahaya matahari.

Apabila ditanya cahaya apakah ini ?. Lalu dijawab :
"Cahaya yang pertama ialah cahaya wajah-wajah manusia yang ketika di dunia, mereka akan meninggalkan pekerjaan dan terus bersuci dan mengambil air sembahyang apabila terdengar azan.

Yang kedua ialah cahaya wajah mereka yang mengambil air sembahyang sebelum azan.

Cahaya yang ketiga ialah cahaya mereka seperti matahari. Mereka di dunia sudah bersiap sedia di dalam masjid sebelum azan lagi."

Kala Jengking Neraka

Di hari kiamat akan keluar seekor binatang dari neraka jahanam yang bernama "Huraisy" berasal dari anak kala jengking. Besarnya Huraisy ini dari timur hingga ke barat. Panjangnya pula seperti jarak langit dan bumi.

Malaikat Jibril bertanya : "Hai Huraisy! Engkau hendak ke mana dan siapa yang kau cari ?" Huraisy pun menjawab, "Aku mahu mencari lima orang. Pertama, orang yang meninggalkan sembahyang. Kedua, orang yang tidak mahu keluarkan zakat. Ketiga, orang yang derhaka kepada ibubapanya. Keempat, orang yang bercakap tentang dunia di dalam masjid. Kelima, orang yang suka minum arak."

4 golongan lelaki yg akan ditarik masuk ke neraka oleh wanita

4 golongan lelaki yg akan ditarik masuk ke neraka oleh wanita

Di akhirat nanti ada 4 golongan lelaki yg akan ditarik masuk ke neraka oleh wanita. Lelaki itu adalah mereka yg tidak memberikan hak kpd wanita dan tidak menjaga amanah itu. Mereka ialah:

1. Ayahnya

Apabila seseorang yg bergelar ayah tidak mempedulikan anak2 perempuannya didunia. Dia tidak memberikan segala keperluan agama seperti mengajar solat, mengaji dan sebagainya Dia membiarkan anak2 perempuannya tidak menutup aurat. Tidak cukup kalau dgn hanya memberi kemewahan dunia sahaja. Maka dia akan ditarik ke neraka oleh anaknya.

(p/s; Duhai lelaki yg bergelar ayah, bagaimanakah hal keadaan anak perempuanmu sekarang?. Adakah kau mengajarnya bersolat & saum?.. menutup aurat?..pengetahuan agama?.. Jika tidak cukup salah satunya, maka bersedialah utk menjadi bahan bakar neraka jahannam.)

2. Suaminya

Apabila sang suami tidak mempedulikan tindak tanduk isterinya. Bergaul! bebas di pejabat, memperhiaskan diri bukan utk suami tapi utk pandangan kaum lelaki yg
bukan mahram. Apabila suami mendiam diri walaupun seorang yg alim dimana solatnya tidak pernah bertangguh, saumnya tidak tinggal, maka dia akan turut ditarik oleh isterinya bersama-sama ke dlm neraka.

(p/s; Duhai lelaki yg bergelar suami, bagaimanakah hal keadaan isteri tercintamu sekarang?. Dimanakah dia? Bagaimana akhlaknya? Jika tidak kau menjaganya mengikut ketetapan syari'at, maka terimalah hakikat yg kau akan sehidup semati bersamanya di 'taman' neraka sana .)

3. Abang-abangnya

Apabila ayahnya sudah tiada, tanggungjawab menjaga maruah wanita jatuh ke bahu abang-abangnya dan saudara lelakinya. Jikalau mereka hanya mementingkan keluarganya sahaja dan adiknya dibiar melencong dari ajaran Islam, tunggulah tarikan adiknya di akhirat kelak.

(p/s; Duhai lelaki yg mempunyai adik perempuan, jgn hanya menjaga amalmu, dan jgn ingat kau terlepas... kau juga akan dipertanggungjawabkan diakhirat kelak... jika membiarkan adikmu bergelumang dgn maksiat... dan tidak menutup aurat.)


4. Anak2 lelakinya

Apabila seorang anak tidak menasihati seorang ibu perihal kelakuan yg haram disisi Islam. bila ibu membuat kemungkaran mengumpat, memfitnah, mengata dan sebagainya... maka anak itu akan disoal dan dipertanggungjawabkan di akhirat kelak.... dan nantikan
tarikan ibunya ke neraka.

(p/s; Duhai anak2 lelaki.... sayangilah ibumu.... nasihatilah dia jika tersalah atau terlupa.... krn ibu juga insan biasa.... x lepas dr melakukan dosa...selamatkanlah dia dr menjadi 'kayu api' neraka.... jika tidak, kau juga akan ditarik menjadi penemannya.)

................................................
Lihatlah...... betapa hebatnya tarikan wanita bukan sahaja di dunia malah diakhirat pun tarikannya begitu hebat. Maka kaum lelaki yg bergelar ayah/suami/abang atau anak harus memainkan peranan mereka..

"Hai anak Adam, peliharalah diri kamu serta ahlimu dari api neraka dimana bahan bakarnya ialah manusia, jin dan batu-batu....."

Golongan yang masuk ke Syurga tanpa dihisab

Golongan yang masuk ke Syurga tanpa dihisab

Diriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah S.A.W. telah bersabda:

"Apabila telah datang hari kiamat, maka didatangkan 4 golongan manusia di sisi pintu syurga tanpa dihisab dan disiksa, mereka ialah ;

1. Orang alim yang mengamalkan ilmunya.
2. Seorang haji yang sewaktu menunaikan haji tidak melakukan sebarang perkara yang
membatalkan hajinya.
3. Orang yang mati syahid di dalam peperangan.
4. Dermawan yang mengusahakan harta yang halal dan membelanjakannya di jalan Allah
tanpa riya.

Keempat-empat golongan ini berebut-rebut untuk mendahului memasuki syurga, kemudian Allah memerintahkan kepada Jibrail A.S. menghakimi mereka.

Berkata Jibrail A.S. kepada orang mati syahid, "Apakah yang telah kamu lakukan sewaktu di dunia sehingga kamu hendak masuk ke syurga?"

Berkata orang yang mati syahid, "Aku telah terbunuh dalam peperangan kerana mencari keredhaan Allah."

Berkata Jibrail A.S., "Dari siapa kamu mendapat tahu tentang pahala orang yang mati syahid?"

Orang yang mati syahid menjawab,"Aku mendengar daripada alim ulama."

Berkata Jibrail A.S. lagi, "Jagalah kesopanan, jangan kamu mendahului guru yang mengajar kamu."

Kemudian Jibrail A.S. bertanya kepada yang mengerjakan haji, "Apakah yang kamu telah lakukan di dunia dahulu sehingga kamu hendak masuk ke syurga?"

Berkata yang berhaji,"Aku telah menunaikan haji semata-mata kerana Allah."

Berkata Jibrail A.S., "Siapakah yang memberitahu kamu tentang pahala haji?"

Berkata yang berhaji, "Aku mendengar dari alim ulama."

Berkata Jibrail A.S. lagi, "Jagalah kesopananmu, jangan kamu mendahului guru yang mengajar kamu."

Berkata Jibrail A.S. kepada penderma pula, "Apakah yang kamu lakukan sewaktu kamu di dunia dulu?"

Menjawab si penderma, "Aku telah banyak menderma semata-mata untuk mendapatkan keredhaan Allah S.W.T."

Jibrail A.S. berkata lagi, "Siapakah yang memberitahumu tentang pahala orang yang menderma kerana Allah?"

Berkata si perderma, "Aku mendengarnya dari para alim ulama."

Maka Jibrail A.S. pun berkata, "Jagalah kesopananmu, jangan kamu mendahului guru yang mengajar kamu."

Kemudian orang alim berkata, "Ya Tuhanku, tidaklah boleh aku menghasilkan ilmu kecuali dengan sebab sifat kasih dermawan dan kebaikan orang yang dermawan itu."

Lalu Allah S.W.T. berfirman yang bermaksud, "Telah benar kata si alim itu, bukakanlah pintu syurga supaya si dermawan masuk dahulu. Kemudian barulah orang-orang lain masuk."

Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. telah bersabda, "Keutamaan orang alim di atas ahli ibadah itu seperti keutamaan saya di atas orang yang paling rendah di antara kamu."

Allah S.W.T. berfirman, maksudnya, "Aku Maha Berilmu dan Aku suka kepada orang yang berilmu."

Al Hassan r.a. berkata, "Tinta para ulama itu ditimbang pada hari kiamat dengan darah orang-orang mati syahid, dan tinta para ulama akan menjadi lebih berat daripada darah para syuhada."

Rasulullah S.A.W. bersabda, "Jadilah engkau orang alim (yang mengajar) atau orang yang belajar atau orang yang mendengar (pelajaran). Janganlah engkau menjadi orang yang keempat, akan rosaklah engkau."

Orang bertanya kepada Rasulullah S.A.W., "Amal apakah yang paling utama?"

Rasulullah S.A.W. menjawab, "Berilmu tentang Allah."

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W. lagi, "Sesungguhnya Allah S.W.T telah menciptakan kepada keturunan anak-anak Adam lapan perkara, dan dari lapan itu empat perkara bagi penghuni syurga, iaitu:

1. Wajah yang manis dan berseri-seri.
2. Tutur kata yang bersopan.
3. Hati yang bertaqwa kepada Allah.
4. Tangan yang dermawan.

Empat perkara bagi penghuni neraka:

1. Muka yang muram.
2. Tutur kata yang keji.
3. Hati keras yang engkar.
4. Tangan yang kedekut (bakhil).


Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W., "Sendi tegaknya dunia adalah disebabkan empat perkara:

1. Dengan berilmunya para ulama.
2. Dengan keadilan orang yang menjadi pemerintah.
3. Dengan orang kaya yang dermawan.
4. Dengan doanya orang yang fakir."

Orbit dalam Al-Quran

Orbit dalam Al-Quran

Ketika menerangkan mengenai bulan dan matahari dalam Al-Qur'an, ianya ditekankan bersama bahawa setiap satunya mempunyai laluan orbit tertentu;

"Dia yang menjadikan malam dan siang, matahari dan bulan, setiap mereka berenang di falak (tempat peredarannya)." (Surah al-Anbiya; 33)

Dalam ayat lain dinyatakan juga bahawa matahari sebenarnya bukan objek yang statik tetapi juga mempunyai orbitnya tertentu;

"Dan matahari beredar di tempat peredarannya. Demikianlah ketetapan yang maha Perkasa dan maha Mengetahui. " (Surah Yaasin;38)

Fakta yang dikemukakan dalam Al-Qur'an ini telah ditemui melalui pemerhatian astronomi hari ini. Berdasarkan kepada kiraan pakar-pakar astronomi, matahari bergerak dalam kelajuan yang besar selaju 720, 000 km sejam mengarah ke bintang Vega dalam satu orbit tertentu dalam sistem Solar Apex. Ini bererti matahari bergerak sejauh 17,280,000 km sejam secara anggaran. Bersama-sama dengan matahari, dan semua planet dan satelit yang berada dalam lingkungan sistem graviti matahari (sistem solar) juga turut bergerak pada jarak yang sama. Sebagai tambahan, semua bintang dalam alam semesta adalah berada dalam satu persamaan pergerakan yang telah ditentukan.

Lanjutan hal ini, iaitu alam semesta dipenuhi dengan lintasan dan orbit telah dimaktubkan di dalam Al-Qur'an;

"Demi langit yang mempunyai jalan-jalan" (Surah az-Dzariyat;7)

Terdapat lebih kurang 200 bilion galaksi dalam alam semesta, yang mengandungi hampir 200 billion bintang setiap satu. Kebanyakan dari bintang-bintang ini mempunyai planet-planet dan kebanyakan dari planet ini mempunyai satelit. Semua objek-objek langit ini bergerak menepati orbit-orbit yang telah dicongak. Untuk berapa juta tahun, semuanya 'berenang' melintasi orbit masing-masing dalam keseimbangan dan susunan yang sempurna bersama-sama dengan yang lain.

Selanjutnya, bilangan komet yang banyak juga bergerak bersama dalam orbit-orbit yang telah ditentukan untuk mereka.

Orbit-orbit dalam alam semesta bukan sahaja dimiliki oleh jasad-jasad langit ini, tetapi juga dimiliki oleh galaksi-galaksi yang bergerak pada kelajuan yang besar dalam orbit-orbit yang telah ditetapkan. Sewaktu dalam pergerakan, tidak ada satupun objek langit ini yang memotong orbit atau bertembung dengan objek lain.

Suatu yang pasti, ketika Al-Qur'an di turunkan manusia tidak mempunyai sebarang teleskop seperti hari ini atau teknologi pemerhatian yang maju untuk memerhati jutaan kilometer ruang angkasa, dan juga tanpa pengetahuan fizik atau astronomi yang moden. Dengan hal ini, ianya suatu yang mustahil ketika itu untuk menentukan secara saintifik bahawa ruang langit 'dipenuhi dengan lintasan dan orbit' seperti yang dinyatakan dalam Al-Qur'an. Bagaimanapun, hal ini secara jelas diterangkan kepada manusia dalam Al-Qur'an yang diwahyukan ketika itu -kerana Al-Qur'an sebenarnya adalah kalam Tuhan.WALLAHUA'LAM

Di dalam hidup manusia, yang penting ialah BERKAT.

Bila hidup kita berkat, diri ini akan selamat.

Apabila diri selamat, rumahtangga jadi sepakat.

Apabila rumahtangga jadi sepakat, masyarakat jadi muafakat.

Apabilamasyarakat jadi muafakat, negara kita menjadi kuat.

Apabila negaramenjadi kuat, negara luar jadi hormat.

Apabila negara luar jadihormat, permusuhan pun tersekat.

Apabila permusuhan tersekat,pembangunan pun meningkat.

Apabila pembangunan pun meningkat,kemajuan menjadi pesat.

TETAPI AWAS,

apabila pembangunan meningkat, kemajuan menjadi pesat,

kita lihat bangunan naik bertingkat-tingkat.

Ditengah-tengah itu, tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat.

Apabilatempat-tempat maksiat tumbuh macam kulat,

KETIKA ITU manusia mulamengubah tabiat.

Apabila manusia telah mengubah tabiat,ada yang jadi lalat ada yang jadi ulat.

Apabila manusia dah jadi ulat, sembahyang makin hari makin liat.

Apabila sembahyang jadi liat, orang baik ada yang bertukar jadi jahat.

Apabila orang baik bertukar jahat, orang miskin pula nak kaya cepat.

Apabila orang miskin nak kaya cepat, orang tua pula nak matilambat.

Apabila orang tua nak mati lambat, tak dapat minum madu telan jer la minyak gamat.

Yang lelaki, budak budak muda pakai seluar ketat.Semua nak tunjuk kuat.

Bila berjudi, percaya unsur kurafat.Tapi hidup pula yang melarat.

Tali kasut dah tak berikat.Rambut pun jarang sikat

Yang perempuan, pakai mini sekerat.Suka pakai baju ketat.

Suka sangat menunjukkan pusat.Hingga tak pedulikan lagi batasan aurat.

Pakai pulak yang singkat-singkat.Kadang-kadang ternampak ben da ' bulat ' .

Bila jadi macam ini, siapa lihat pasti tercegat.

Silap gaya jadi gawat, bohsia bohjan lagi hebat.

Duduk jauh berkirim surat ..Bila berjumpa, tangan berjabat.

Kemudian pakat lawan peluk siapa erat.

Masa tu, nafas naik sampai tersekat-sekat.

Usah peduli agama dan adat.

Usah takut Allah dan malaikat.

Yang penting apa kita nak buat?

Kita ' bukti ' lah kita buat.Akhirnya perut kempis dah jadi bulat.

Apabila perut kempis dah jadi bulat, maka lahirlahpula anak-anak yang tak cukup sifat.

Bila anak-anak tak cukup sifat, jam tu kita tengok bayi dibuang dimerata tempat.

MAKNANYA KETIKA ITU, IBLIS MULA MELOMPAT.

Dia kata apa? Habis manusia dah masuk jerat.Habis manusia telah tersesat.

Inilah dia fenomena masyarakat.

Oleh itu wahai saudaraku dan para sahabat,

Marilah kita pakat mengingat,

Bahawa dunia hari ini makin singkat,

Esok atau lusa mungkin kiamat,

Sampai masa kita semua akan berangkat!

.Berangkat menuju ke negeri akhirat.

Di sana kita akan ditanya apa yang kita buat.

Masa tu, sindri mau ingat.

Umur mu banyak mana mu buat ibadat...?

Zaman muda mu, apa yang telah mu buat...?

Harta ben da anta, dari mana anta dapat...?

Ilmu anta, adakah anta manafaat...?

Semoga ianya dapat mengingatkan kita supaya segera meninggalkan maksiat

dan memperbanyakkan ibadat.

(Petikan ucapan Ustaz Hj. Akil Hayy Rawa.Sebarkanlah ini kepada ahli keluarga, saudara-mara, rakan-rakan dansahabat handai kita agar masyarakatkita akan menjadi sebuah masyarakat yang bukan sahaja maju dari segiduniawi malah ukhrawi. Insya-Allah...Allahhuakbar! Allahhuakbar!Allahhuakbar!)

Holy War(s) : The Battle of Siffin

The Battle of Islam at Siffin:

After the battle of Jamal was over, Imam Ali (A.S.) returned from Basra to Kufa in Rajab of 36 A.H. He decided to transfer the capital of his government to Kufa from Madina because it was more centrally placed in the Muslim Empire, and he could halt Muawiya's progress into Iraq.

Before marching towards Muawiya, Imam Ali (A.S.) tried to settle matters peacefully by sending Jarir, chief of Bani Bajila and the governor of Hamdan, to Syria as an envoy. However, Jarir became so engrossed in the entertainment that Muawiya put his way, that he wasted his time in Syria. He finally returned three months later with the useless message that peace could only be negotiated if the murderers of Uthman were brought to justice. Malik al-Ashtar accused him of having wasted time in effeminate pleasures with Muawiya, who purposely kept him long enough to mature his plans of hostilities. Jarir left Kufa and joined Muawiya.

Imam Ali (A.S.) decided that matters could be only decided by war, so he marched without delay through the Mesopotamian desert to Riqqa at the banks of the Euphrates. After crossing the river by constructing a bridge they came across the Syrian outposts at Sur al-Rum. There were a few skirmishes between the armies but the Syrians gave way and in the month of Zilhaj of 36 A.H., the army of Imam Ali (A.S.) came into sight of Muawiya's main forces, which had already camped at Siffin.

At Siffin, Muawiya had stationed his general, Abul Awr, with 10,000 men on the river to stop the access to water for Imam Ali's (A.S.) army. Imam Ali (A.S.) sent Sasaa Bin Sauhan al-Abdi to Muawiya that this action was not necessary because, after all, the people whom he was refusing water were also Muslims. He further assured Muawiya that if the situation had been reversed, the river would have been open to both armies. However, Muawiya sent back a message that the murderers of Uthman had not allowed him any water when they had laid siege to his palace, and Muawiya was avenging that action.

Imam Ali (A.S.) knew that this situation would be intolerable and he launched an attack under Malike Ashtar. The brave commander secured the river after heavy fighting and Abul Awr was dislodged from its banks. Having control of the river, Imam Ali (A.S.) kept to his word and allowed unlimited access to Muawiya's side.

Imam Ali (A.S.) divided his army of 90,000 men into seven units each commanded by brave warriors. Muawiya similarly divided his army of 120,000 men into seven columns. Everyday one column from each army would engage one another in combat.

The battles were mostly restricted to single combats or small groups fighting because Imam Ali (A.S.) was trying to avoid the serious loss of Muslim lives that would have resulted from a full scale battle. The month of Zilhaj ended in this manner and the month of Muharram, in which fighting is forbidden, set in. During this month, Imam Ali (A.S.) tried hard to resolve the crisis by negotiation, but to no avail. He pointed out that he was ready to punish the murderers of Uthman if Muawiya would point them out. However, Muawiya did not wish the matter to end so easily, because it was the issue of Uthman's unavenged death that had enabled him to gather such a large army.

In the month of Safar fighting was resumed. For a week, fierce battles raged all day. Everyday the conflict got more severe and bitter. In the second week Imam Ali (A.S.) came to the battlefield for the first time. After a series of single combats, in which he overcame every opponent with his awesome skill, no body would come to fight him.

He was forced to disguise himself to get anybody to challenge him. On one such occasion, an unsuspecting warrior from Muawiya's side attacked Imam Ali (A.S.). The man was struck with a single sweep of Zulfiqar with such force by Imam Ali (A.S.) that the upper half of his body was severed from the lower half. Those who watched thought that the blow had missed, and it was only when the horse moved and the two halves fell to the ground, that people realized what had happened.

Day after day the loss of lives increased, especially in the ranks of Muawiya. However, Imam Ali (A.S.) also lost several distinguished Companions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) from his side. Amongst them were Hashim bin Utba and Ammar Yasir.

Ammar, who was 93 years old, had been informed by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) that he would die fighting rebels and enemies of Islam. This was well known by all, and when he died there was some commotion in Muawiya's army. He managed to quieten them down by saying that, since Ammar had been brought to fight by Imam Ali (A.S.), it was he who was the cause of his death. He said that Imam Ali (A.S.) therefore was the rebel that the prophecy talked about, and not Muawiya. This incredible argument was accepted by his men and war continued until the 13th night.

On that day the commander-in-chief of Imam Ali's (A.S.) army, Malike Ashtar, attacked the enemy ferociously. His shout of Allahu Akbar, every time he killed a man, was heard no less than 400 times.

The hero of the battle began to bring on victory when Amr al-Aas on Muawiya's side said, "Call the enemy to the Word of God."

Muawiya eagerly accepted these words and his men raised 500 copies of the Holy Qur'an on their spears, saying that the Holy Book would decide their differences. This trick had a strange effect on some people in the army of Imam Ali (A.S.), who dropped their weapons and agreed that the Holy Qur'an should decide the matter.

Imam Ali (A.S.) stepped into the battlefield urging his men to continue fighting and ignore the tricks of Muawiya, but they disobeyed. The war thus came to an unsatisfactory end, and it was decided that one representative from each side should meet to reach a final decision.

Imam Ali (A.S.) wanted Abdullah bin Abbas or Malike Ashtar to represent him, but his men insisted that Abu Musa Ash'ari be chosen instead. Muawiya appointed Amr al-Aas to represent him. Abu Musa had neither wit nor tact and was no match for the cunning Amr al-Aas.

In the meeting that took place some months later, Abu Musa was badly tricked by Amr into giving up the rights of Imam Ali (A.S.), and it is as follows.

Decision of the umpires

The time for arbitration having come, the umpires proceeded to Dumat-al-Jondel or Azroh, each with a retinue of four hundred horsemen according to the agreement. Many a leading Chief from Mecca, Medina, Iraq and Syria went there to watch the proceedings, which were to decide the future of Islam. Abdallah bin Abbas, who accompanied Abu-Musa to preside at the daily prayers, while having a discourse with Abu-Musa upon the topic of arbitration, urged him to beware of the crafty ways of his astute colleague and to keep particularly in his mind the fact that Ali had no blemish to render him incapable of government, nor Muawiya any virtue to qualify him for it. When Abu-Musa reached Duma, Amr bin Aas received him with great respect. A private conference was held between the two alone in a pavilion erected for the purpose. Amr was already well aware of the weaknesses in Abu-Musa's character. He treated Abu-Musa with utmost respect and civility till he brought him completely under his influence. Having won his confidence, he made him admit that Osman was foully murdered. Then he asked him why the avenger of his blood, a near relation of his and an able administrator viz. Muawiya should not be taken as his successor. To this Abu-Musa replied that the succession should not be determined on such a basis which would give preference to Osman's Sons as legitimate claimants; but that they must above all things take care lest a mutiny should be kindled or civil wars break again. Upon this Amr bin Aas asked Abu-Musa to reject both Ali and Muawiya, and let the Faithful elect a third. This is the simplest and safest solution of the problem. 'I agree,' said Abu-Musa, let us go forth to pronounce. A tribunal was erected from which each of the umpires was to declare publicly his decision. Abu-Musa wished Amr to go up first, but Amr, alleging reasons to give preference to Ali's man, overcame all his scruples and insisted upon Abu-Musa going up first. Abu-Musa ascended and addressed the people thus: 'Brethren! I and Amr bin Aas, both of us, have given full consideration to the matter and have come to the conclusion that no other course to restore peace and to remove discord from the people can possibly be better than to depose both Ali and Muawiya in order that people may have their choice of a better man in their stead. I therefore depose both Ali and Muawiya from the Caliphate to which they pretend, in the manner as I draw this ring from my finger.' Having made this declaration Abu-Musa came down. Amr bin Aas now took his turn and went up to announce what he had to declare. 'You have heard,' he said, 'how Abu-Musa on his part has deposed his chief Ali; I, on my part, do depose him too and I invest my chief Muawiya with the Caliphate and I confirm him to it, as I put this ring upon my finger. I do this with justice because Muawiya is the avenger of Osman and his rightful successor.' So saying, he came down. This arbitration took place in the month of Ramadan, 37 A.H. or February 658 A.D.

Muawiya thus managed to escape certain defeat at Siffin. The damage done at the battle was great. Muawiya lost 45,000 men and 25,000 men were killed on the side of Imam Ali (A.S.).

Holy War(s) : The Battle of Nahrawan

The Battle of Islam at Nahrawan:

After the unsatisfactory conclusion to the Battle of Siffin, Imam Ali (A.S.) returned with his army back to Kufa on the 13th of Safar 37 A.H. During the march, a group of 12,000 men kept themselves at a distance from the main part of the army.

The group was furious at the way things had ended at Siffin. These were the Kharjites (Kharjite means one who rebels against religion). They were the same people who had put down their weapons on the battlefield. Now they said that Imam Ali (A.S.) had betrayed Islam by agreeing to the truce and should have referred judgment to the Holy Qur'an alone or continued to fight. They demanded that he repent for this great sin.

When the army neared Kufa, the Kharjites camped at a village named Harura. They started saying that all Muslims were equal and nobody could rule over the other. In this way, they denounced both Imam Ali (A.S.) and Muawiya and said that their belief was in "La Hukma Illa Lillah", meaning, "No Ruler ship except by Allah alone."

Imam Ali (A.S.) sent Sasaa Bin Sauhan and Ziad Bin Nazr Harisi in the company of Ibne Abbas towards them and afterwards himself went to the place of their stay and tried to explain to them that they were misunderstanding the words "La Hukma Illa Lillah", and that in accepting the arbitration (peace talks) at Siffin, he had not gone against the teachings of the Holy Qur'an.

He pointed out that they themselves were at fault, because they should never have laid down their arms and forced him to call back Malike Ashtar, who was at the point of securing victory. He reminded them that they had pressed for the arbitration and had forced him to appoint Abu Musa Ash'ari as their representative. He told them that he found their present behavior very strange, considering their involvement in Siffin. To this they admitted that they had sinned but now they had repented for it and he should do the same.

Imam Ali (A.S.) replied that he was a true believer and did not have to repent because he had not committed any sin and dispersed them after discussion.

The Kharjites refused to accept the words of Imam Ali (A.S.) and awaited the decision of Amr al-Aas and Abu Musa Ash'ari. When they learnt of the decision they decided to revolt, and they set up their headquarters at Nahrawan, twelve miles from Baghdad. Some people came from Basra to join the rebels.

On the other side, after hearing the verdict of Arbitration Imam Ali (A.S.) rose for fighting the army of Syria and wrote to the Kharijites that the verdict passed by the two arbitrators in pursuance of their heart's wishes instead of the Qur'an and sunnah was not acceptable to him, that he had therefore decided to fight with them and they should support him for crushing the enemy. But the Kharijites gave him this reply, "When you had agreed to Arbitration in our view you had turned heretic. Now if you admit your heresy and offer repentance we will think over this matter and decide what we should do." Imam Ali (A.S.) understood from their reply that their disobedience and misguidance had become very serious. To entertain any kind of hope from them now was futile. Consequently, ignoring them he encamped in the valley of an-Nukhaylah with a view to marching towards Syria to fight against Muawiya.

Imam Ali (A.S.) had already started towards Muawiya when he received the news that they had butchered the governor of Nahrawan namely Abdullah Ibn Khabbab Ibn al-Aratt and his slave maid with the child in her womb, and have killed three women of Banu Tayyi and Umm Sinan as-Saydawiyyah. Imam Ali (A.S.) sent al-Harith Ibn Murrah al-Abdi for investigation but he too was killed by them. When their rebellion reached this stage it was necessary to deal with them. There was a danger that the Kharjites might attack Kufa while Imam Ali (A.S.) and his men were marching towards Muawiya, so Imam Ali (A.S.) decided to stop them. He changed his course eastward, crossed the river Tigris and approached Nahrawan.

On reaching there Imam Ali (A.S.) sent a messenger to the Kharjites demanding that those people who had murdered innocent Muslims around their camp should be surrendered. The Kharjites replied that they were all equally responsible for killing these sinners.

There was some reluctance in the army of Imam Ali (A.S.) to fight the Kharjites, because they had been their companions against Muawiya at Siffin. Imam Ali (A.S.) himself did not desire the bloodshed of these misguided fanatics, so he sent Abu Ayyub al-Ansari with a message of peace. So he spoke to them aloud, "Whoever comes under this banner or separates from that party and goes to Kufah or al-Mada'in would get amnesty and he would not be questioned. As a result of this Farwah Ibn Nawfal al-Ashja'i said that he did not know why they were at war with Imam Ali (A.S.). Saying this he separated along with five hundred men. Similarly group after group began to separate and some of them joined Imam Ali (A.S.). In the end, only cores of 1,800 die-hards were left under the command of Abdallah bin Wahab. These Kharjites swore that they would fight Imam Ali (A.S.) at any cost.

Nahjul Balagha - Sermon 36/Warning the people of Nahrawan of their fate:

"I am warning you that you will be killed on the bend of this canal and on the level of this low area while you will have no clear excuse before Allah nor any open authority with you. You have come out of your houses and then divine decree entangled you. I had advised you against this arbitration but you rejected my advice like adversaries and opponents till I turned my ideas in the direction of your wishes. You are a group whose heads are devoid of wit and intelligence. May you have no father! (Allah's woe be to you!) I have not put you in any calamity nor wished you harm."

The Kharjites attacked Imam Ali's (A.S.) army with desperate courage. However, they did not stand a chance against the superior army that faced them and they were all killed except nine men. These nine managed to flee to Basra and elsewhere, where they spread the fire of their hatred and recruited more followers. From Imam Ali's (A.S.) army only eight persons fell as martyrs. The battle took place on the 9th Safar, 38 A.H. Two years later, in 40 A.H., it was the Kharjites who sent out three assassins to kill Imam Ali (A.S.), Muawiya and Amr al-Aas. The latter two survived but Imam Ali (A.S.) was martyred following Ibne Muljam's cowardly attack in the mosque of Kufa.

Having disposed of the Kharjites at Nahrawan, Imam Ali (A.S.) resumed his march to Syria. However, the chiefs of his followers urged him to stop at Kufa to let the men rest before the long journey and to enable the army to repair their weapons and armours. Imam Ali (A.S.) agreed to this request and camped at Nukhayla outside Kufa. The soldiers were allowed to leave the camp for a day.

On the next day, hardly any men returned and at length, Imam Ali (A.S.) entered Kufa and gave a stern sermon to the people. However, nobody came forward and finally, Imam Ali (A.S.) turned away from them in disappointment. The Syrian expedition was abandoned, never to be resumed.

Holy War(s) : The battle of Jamal

The battle of Jamal (Camel):

Ummul Momeneen Ayesha the daughter of the first Caliph Abu Bakr, and the widow of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.), was in Makka for the pilgrimage when third Caliph Uthman was killed. She had always expected either Talha or Zubayr to succeed him and when she heard of Imam Ali's (A.S.) appointment as Caliph, she was very upset. And said, 'By God! Uthman was innocent, I will avenge his blood.'

Both Talha & Zubayr were brothers-in-law of Ummul Momeneen Ayesha. Her youngest sister was the wife of Talha, who was also a cousin of her father. Her eldest sister was a wife of Zubayr, whose son Abdullah was adopted by Ummul Momeneen Ayesha.

Ummul Momeneen Ayesha was a jealous woman. Now she declared herself as the avenger of the murder of Uthman and prepared to wage war against Imam Ali (A.S.), whom she had always hated.

She managed to recruit the support of the powerful clan of Bani Umayyah, to whom Uthman had belonged. The ex-governors of Uthman, who had been replaced by Imam Ali (A.S.), also joined her.

Yala the ex-governor of Yemen carried off to Makka all the treasure from Yemen when he was deposed. Amounting to sixty thousand Dinars, which he made over to Ummul Momeneen Ayesha along with six hundred camels, one of which was a rarity, a big-sized, well bred animal, valued at 200 gold pieces. It was named Al-Askar and was specially presented for the use of Ummul Momeneen Ayesha.

Talha and Zubayr also joined her, in spite of their oath of allegiance to Imam Ali (A.S.). A large number of Arabs were also paid to enlist in the army, whose fathers and brothers had been killed by Imam Ali (A.S.) in defending the Prophet's (S.A.W.) cause on the occasion of various wars in his time. Many a discontented Arab flocked under the Standard.

The preparations of war having been completed, Ummul Momeneen Ayesha's army proceeded to Basra. Before leaving, she had asked Umme Salma, a faithful widow of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.), to accompany her. Umme Salma had indignantly refused, reminding Ummul Momeneen Ayesha that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) had said that Imam Ali (A.S.) was his successor and whoever disobeyed him, disobeyed the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) himself. She also reminded her of the time when he had addressed all his wives saying that the dogs of Hawab would bark at one of his wives, who would be part of a rebellious mob. She then warned Ummul Momeneen Ayesha not to be fooled by the words of Talha and Zubayr who would only entangle her in wrong deeds. This advice had a sobering effect on Ummul Momeneen Ayesha, who almost gave up her plan. However, her adopted son, Abdallah bin Zubayr, convinced her to go ahead.

Ummul Momeneen Ayesha mounted on a litter on the camel al-Askar, and marched from Makka at the head of 1,000 men. On her right was Talha and on her left, Zubayr. On their way many more joined them, swelling their numbers to 3,000.

On the way to Basra, the rebel army received news that Imam Ali (A.S.) had come out of Madina in their pursuit. They decided to leave the main road and proceed to Basra through a different route. When they passed through the valley of Hawab the dogs of the village surrounded Ummul Momeneen Ayesha's camel, barking loudly. She was immediately worried and asked for the name of the place. When she was told it was Hawab, she was shocked and she despairingly cried, "Alas! Alas! I am the wretched woman of Hawab. The Prophet of Allah had already warned me against this."

She got off her camel and refused to go any further. Talha and Zubayr tried to convince her that the place was not Hawab and even brought 50 witnesses to testify to this lie, but in vain. This is said to be the first occasion of false evidence given publicly since the dawn of Islam. Finally, they raised a cry that Imam Ali (A.S.) was approaching, and Ummul Momeneen Ayesha, struck with terror, quickly remounted and the march was resumed.

The army reached Basra and camped in the suburbs. Ummul Momeneen Ayesha, Talha and Zubayr began talks with the leading citizens of Basra, trying to get their support for their cause. In this they failed and were subjected to ridicule.

Finally, some of them entered the city and during the congregational prayers, they treacherously captured Imam Ali's (A.S.) governor, Uthman bin Huneif, after killing 40 of his guards. Fighting broke out in the city and many of Imam Ali's (A.S.) supporters were killed before Ummul Momeneen Ayesha gained control of Basra. The governor, Uthman, suffered the indignity of having his eyebrows, moustache and beard plucked out, hair by hair, before being turned out of the city.

Meanwhile, Imam Ali (A.S.) had received information about Ummul Momeneen Ayesha's plans from Umme Salma, and news of the disturbances in Makka and Basra also came through.

Imam Ali (A.S.) made immediate plans to march towards Basra but could only raise 900 men with difficulty. This was because the people were reluctant to fight Ummul Momeneen Ayesha, who was considered to be the Mother of the Faithful by virtue of being the widow of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.). Also, Muawiya had succeeded in making people think that Imam Ali (A.S.) was somehow involved in the murder of Uthman.

In Kufa, Imam Hasan (A.S.) raised 9,000 men, and other units arrived as well, all joining Imam Ali (A.S.) at his camp at Zhi-Q'ar. Meanwhile, Uthman bin Huneif arrived with fresh news from Basra. Imam Ali (A.S.) smiled and said to him that he had left them as an old man but had returned as a beardless youth.

Imam Ali (A.S.) wrote letters to Ummul Momeneen Ayesha, Talha and Zubayr, warning them against the unwise steps they had taken, but his words were ignored. Finally he marched to Basra at the head of 20,000 men.

Ummul Momeneen Ayesha's forces numbered 30,000 but they were mostly raw recruits, while Imam Ali's (A.S.) army was full of battle veterans.

In Basra, the sight of Imam Ali's (A.S.) men in battle formation filled Ummul Momeneen Ayesha and her comrades with terror. Imam Ali (A.S.) talked at length with Talha and Zubayr, negotiating for peace. He reminded them of the words of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) regarding his authority, which they both admitted they had heard. Zubayr was ashamed of his deeds and left the scene but Talha remained doubtful. Ummul Momeneen Ayesha was furious at the conduct of the two and ordered a raid at nighttime to end the chance of peace.

The next morning Ummul Momeneen Ayesha mounted her camel al-Askar and urged her troops to prepare for battle. Thus began the unfortunate Battle of Jamal (Camel), where Muslims fought each other for the first time. Although outnumbered, Imam Ali (A.S.) and his soldiers were too skilled to be defeated. Soon victory began to incline towards Imam Ali (A.S.). Talha was wounded and later died. Ummul Momeneen Ayesha's camel was brought down and Imam Ali (A.S.) ordered her brother Muhammad bin Abu Bakr to take care of Ummul Momeneen Ayesha.

After that, the battle was soon over, and Imam Ali (A.S.) declared a general amnesty for all the rebels.

Ummul Momeneen Ayesha's plans had come to nothing and 10,000 men lay dead as a result of her jealousy. In this battle Imam Ali (A.S.) restrained his men from taking any war booty and all property found on the battle ground was gathered in the mosque of Basra, from where the owners could claim their possessions.

Holy War(s) : The battle of Hunayn

The battle of Hunayn 8 (A.H.):

The formidable Bedouin tribes, the Hawaazin, the Saqif and various others pastured their flocks on the territories bordering Mecca. Some of them possessed strongly fortified towns like Tayef, and were unwilling to render obedience to the Muslims without resistance. They formed a league with the intention of overwhelming Prophet Muhammad (SAW) before he could make preparations to repulse their attack.

It was the usual practice with the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that whenever he conquered a region, he personally looked after its political problems and the religious matters of its inhabitants, so long as he stayed there, and as and when he left that place he appointed there suitable persons on different posts. Its reason was that the people of these regions, who were acquainted with the old and wound-up systems, did not possess information about the system, which had replaced it. Islam is a social, moral, political and religious system, its laws emanate from revelation, and acquainting people with these laws and their enforcement amongst them needs distinguished, mature and learned persons, who should teach them correct principles of Islam intelligently and should also enforce Islamic system amongst them.

When the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) decided to leave Makkah for the territories of Hawazin and Saqif, he appointed Mu'az bin Jabal as a guide to educate and instruct the people and entrusted the government and administration of the city and imamate (leading prayers) in the mosque to Atab bin Usayd, who was a capable person. The threatening information compelled the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to cut short his stay in Makkah. After staying in Makkah for fifteen days the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) proceeded to the land of Hawazin tribe.

An unmatched army

On that day the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) had twelve thousand armed soldiers under his standard, out of them ten thousand were those, who had accompanied him from Madina and had taken part in the conquest of Makkah, and the other two thousand were from amongst Quraysh, who had embraced Islam recently. The command of this group rested with Abu Sufyan. Imam Ali as usual, held the Sacred Standard of the Prophet Muhammad.

In those days such an army was hardly found anywhere and this numerical strength of theirs became the cause of their initial defeat. It was because, contrary to the past, they prided themselves on the large number of their soldiers and ignored the military tactics and principles of war. When Abu Bakr's eyes fell on the large number of men he said: "We should not at all be defeated, because our soldiers far outnumber those of the enemy". He did not, however, pay attention to this reality that numerical superiority is not the only factor for victory and in fact this factor is of little importance.

The Holy Qur'an itself mentions this fact and says: Allah has helped you on many occasions including the day of Hunayn. When you were happy with the number of your men who proved to be of no help to you and the whole vast earth seemed to have no place to hide you (from your enemies) and you turned back in retreat. (Surah al-Tawbah, 9:25)

Acquisition of Information

After the conquest of Makkah great excitement and enthusiasm could been seen in the areas inhabited by the tribes of Hawazin and Saqif. Special contacts existed between them. The connecting link between them was a war like person named Malik bin Awf Nasri. The result of their mutual contacts was that before the Islamic army could pay attention to them they themselves came up to encounter it, so that, before the Muslims moved, they themselves should strike them hard by military tactics. They also selected from amongst them a thirty-year-old brave and courageous man to act as their commander.

Besides the aforesaid two tribes, the tribes of Bani Hilal, Nasr and Jasham also participated in this battle and all of them came up as a single striking force.

As ordered by the chief commander, all those, who participated in the battle, stationed their women and retinue, behind the rear of the army. When he was asked about the reason for this decision he said: "These men will remain steadfast in their fighting to protect their women and property and will not at all think of flight or retreat".

When Durayd bin Sammah, an old man and an experienced warrior, heard the wailing's of the women and the children, he quarreled with Malik, and, considering this act of his to be wrong from the point of view of principles of war, said to him: "The result of this action will be that if you are defeated you will be surrendering all your women and property to the army of Islam gratuitously". Malik did not pay heed to the words of this experienced soldier and said: "You have grown old and have lost your wisdom and knowledge of military tactics". However, the later events proved that the old man was right and the presence of women and children in a sphere of operation in which one has to strike and run proved to be of no use, except that the soldiers got involved in difficulties and their activities were hindered.

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) sent Abdullah Aslami Ibn Abi Hadrad to collect information about the equipment, intentions and itinerary of the enemy. He roamed about in the entire army of the enemy, collected the necessary information and placed it at the disposal of the Prophet Muhammad. Malik, too, sent three spies towards the Muslims in a special manner so that they might bring the requisite information for him. They, however, returned to Malik with their hearts full of awe and fear.

The commander of the enemy army decided to make amends for the numerical inferiority and weak morale of his soldiers by means of a military trick i.e. by making a surprise attack, create confusion among the army of Islam so that the discipline of their units might be disrupted and the schemes of their high command might be frustrated.

To achieve this end, he encamped at the end of the pass, which led to the region of Hunayn. He then ordered all the soldiers to hide themselves behind the stones, the rocks and gaps of the mountains and at elevated places around the pass, and as soon as the army of Islam arrived in this deep and lengthy pass, all of them should come out of their places hiding and attack the units of Islam with arrows and stones. Thereafter a special group should descend from the mountains in an orderly manner and put the Muslims to sword under the cover of their archers.

Equipment of the Muslims

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was aware of the strength and the obstinacy of the enemy. Before leaving Makkah therefore, he called Safwan bin Umayyah and borrowed one hundred suits of armor from him and guaranteed its return. He personally put on two suit of armor, put a helmet on his head, and mounted a white mule, which had been presented to him, and moved on behind the army of Islam.

In the dead of night the army reached the Hunayn valley, which lies about midway between Mecca and Tayef. In order to reach the fertile valley of Tayef, they had to pass through a narrow defile called Hunayn. This was the key point or the enemy's defense. It was a narrow and dismal place leaving little room for an army to pass through, except in single file, nor could camels and horses be maneuvered within its narrow walls. The army of Islam rested at night at the mouth of the Hunayn and the day had not yet dawned fully when the tribe of Bani Salim arrived in the passage of Hunayn under the command of Khalid bin Walid. When a major part of the army of Islam was still in the pass. Concealing themselves under the precipitous side of the rocky valley, the tribesmen, from the heights, showered avalanches of rocks and arrows on the Muslims, and prevented all attempts by the Muslim cavalry to organize a charge. Panic began to spread amongst the Muslim troops and defeat seemed very probable.

This sudden attack terrified the Muslims so much that they began to flee and created, more than the enemy itself, disorder and disruption among their ranks. According to Habib-us-Siyar and Rouzath-ul-Ahbab, Khalid Bin Walid was the first to leave the field. These developments were a source of great joy for the hypocrites present in the army of Islam, so much so that Abu Sufyan said: "Muslims will run up to the coast of the sea". Another hypocrite said: "The magic has been counteracted". A third from amongst them determined to do away with Islam in that confused state of affairs by killing the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and thus destroy the belief of the Oneness of Allah and the Prophet Hood of Islam lock, stock, and barrel.

The steadfastness of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and of a group of self-sacrificing persons

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was disturbed immensely by the flight of his friends which was the main cause of all the alarm and disorder, and felt that if matters were allowed to take their own course, even for a moment longer, the pivot of history would be different, humanity would change its course and the forces of polytheism would beat down the army of monotheism. While riding his mule, therefore, he said loudly: "O supporters of Allah and His Prophet! I am the servant of Allah and His Prophet". He uttered this sentence and then turned his mule towards the battlefield, which was occupied by Malik's men, who had already killed some Muslims and were busy killing others. A group of self-sacrificing persons like Imam Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, Abbas, Fazal bin Abbas, Usamah and Abi Sufyan bin Hirith, who had not left him alone and unprotected ever since the battle started, also proceeded along with him.

At this critical moment Imam Ali rallied the disorganized forces around him inspiring them to fight with fresh valor. At the same time the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) asked his uncle Abbas, who held his mule, who had a very loud voice, to call back the Muslims in this manner: "O Ansar, who helped the Prophet! O you who took the oath of allegiance to the Prophet under the tree of Paradise! Where are you going? The Prophet is here!" The words of Abbas reached the ears of the Muslims and stimulated their religious zeal and fervor. All of them responded immediately by saying, Labayk! Labayk! (Here am I! Here am I!) And returned bravely towards the Prophet Muhammad.

The repeated call by Abbas, which gave the good tidings of the Prophet's safety, made the fleeing men return to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) with a peculiar regret and remorse and made them reorganize their rows. About a hundred men, all Ansars (Abul Fida; Ibn Hisham), gaining the narrow Pass, checked the advance of the enemy. The standard bearer of the enemy, a man of extraordinarily tall stature and stout built, came forward and challenged the Muslims to single combat, As usual, Imam Ali stepped forward and engaged him and within a short time put an end to him. In compliance with the orders of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and also to obliterate the shameful stain of desertion, the Muslims launched a general attack and compelled the enemies, in a very short time, to retreat or flee. The Prophet Muhammad, who was watching the struggle from an eminence, taking a handful of gravel, cast it towards the enemy saying, "May these faces be disgraced!" The enemy became panicky within a short time and finally took to flight, chased by the Muslims, and many of them were killed. In order to encourage the Muslims the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was saying: "I am the Prophet of Allah and never tell a lie and Allah has promised me victory". This war tactics made the warriors of Hawazin and Saqif run away to the region of Autas and Nakhlah and to the forts of Ta'if leaving behind their women and retinue and a number of those killed in the battle. The battle was won by Muslims.

War Booty

In this battle the casualties of the Muslims were large, but the biographers have not mentioned the number of those killed. The enemy lost seventy of their bravest, of whom forty fell under the sword of Imam Ali.

As a result of this victory, enormous booty fell into the hands of the Muslims. The Muslims, however, stood to gain and the enemies fled leaving behind six thousand captives, twenty four thousand camels, forty thousand sheep and four thousand Waqih (It is equal to 213 grams approximately) of silver. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) ordered that all the men and the entire property should be taken to Ji'ranah. He also appointed some men to keep a watch. The captives were kept in a particular house and the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) ordered that the entire booty should remain there as it was, till he returned from Ta'if.

The battle of Hunayn, is one of the most famous events in the history of Islam. It was notable for the strategy of Imam Ali regrouping the Muslim army, turning defeat into victory. It also showed the clemency with which the prisoners were treated. Six hundred of the enemies were freed without having to pay ransom.
