Jumpe lagi.... insyaAllah !

Umat ni kena bergerak dan buat pengorbanan untuk agama. Islam adalah agama hak. Bila hak bergerak dan datang, maka kebatilan akan lenyap. Keputusan hidayat dari Allah. Syaratnya kita kena bergerak..

Allah perintah Nabi Ibrahim bina kaabah. Baginda yang telah banyak buat pengorbanan, sekali lagi kena susah payah untuk agama. Lepas kaabah siap dibina, Allah perintah pula baginda untuk seru manusia seluruh alam datang kepada kaabah. Nabi Ibrahim kata tak mampu untuk buat perkara tu. Allah kata kamu seru sahaja, Allah yang akan sampaikan kepada manusia. Seruan Nabi Ibrahim telah didengar oleh seluruh manusia termasuk manusia yang masih berada di alam arwah.

Semua perkara yang berlaku diatur dan dibuat tertib tertentu oleh Allah. Kadang-kadang Allah ubah tertib untuk tunjuk kehebatanNya. Contohnya; tongkat Nabi Musa jadi ular, unta keluar dari batu di zaman Nabi Saleh, api tak dapat bakar Nabi Ibrahim dsb.

Tapi satu tertib yang Allah tak akan ubah hingga ke hari kiamat. Iaitu tertib macamana manusia dapat hidayat hanyalah dengan perantaraan kerja para Nabi iaitu dengan pengorbanan dan susah payah. Selepas Nabi Muhammad SAW, tidak ada lagi Nabi akan dihantar tetapi kerja kanabian telah dipindahkan kepada umat baginda. Melalui kerja inilah umat ini digelar dan diiktiraf sebagai umat yang terbaik oleh Allah SWT.

**********************************************************************


InsyaAllah, petang ni aku akan ke masjid Sri Petaling untuk lapangkan masa, belajar kerja ni. Segala salah silap, terkasar bahasa, terlanjur kata (terlanjur yang lain, tak de kot...) dan yang seangkatannya, aku mintak maap...

Doa untuk aku, keluarga dan umat seluruh alam. Panjang umur, insyaAllah jumpa di medan ijtimak Julai ni... wassalam...

Hadhrat Tufayl bin Amr Ad Dows




Hadhrat Tufayl bin Amr arrives in Makkah and His experience With the Quraysh

Muhammad bin Is'haaq says that despite the harsh treatment that Rasulullaah saw his people mete out to him, he exerted all his efforts to guide them and to save them from the evils they were involved in. When Allaah protected Rasulullaah from them, the Quraysh started warning the Arabs about Rasulullaah when they came to meet him.

Hadhrat Tufayl bin Amr was a highly respected and intelligent poet. He narrates that when he arrived in Makkah ,during the time when Rasulullaah was still living there, some men from the Quraysh came to him and asked, "0 Tufayl! You have come to our city. This person amongst us has caused us great difficulty and has disunited us. His speech is bewitching and he has caused division between fathers and sons, between brothers and between husband and wife. We fear that you and your tribe should not suffer as we have. Do not speak to him and do not even listen to him."

Hadhrat Tufayl says, "By Allaah! They did not let go of me until I resolved not to hear anything Rasulullaah said and not to speak to him. I even went to the extent of stuffing pieces of wool in my ears when I proceeded to the Masjid the following morning, fearing that any of his words may reach me without me intentionally listening to him."


Hadhrat Tufayl bin Amr Accepts Islaam

Hadhiat Tufayl bin Amr says, "when I went to the Masjid in the morning, Rasulullaah was standing there, performing salaah near the Kabah. I stood close to him and Allaah destined that I should hear some of his words. What I heard were excellent words and I said to myself, 'Shame on you! I am supposed to be an intelligent poet who can distinguish between good and bad. What prevents me from listening to what this man has to say? If what he says is good, I shall accept and if it is not, I shall ignore it.'"

Hadhrat Tufayl then waited until Rasulullaah left for home. He then followed Rasulullaah and met him when he entered his house. He then told Rasulullaah what the Quraysh had told him and added, "By Allaah! They were so convincing that I even plugged my ears with wool so that I do not hear your words. Thereafter, Allaah destined that I should listen to you. What I heard were excellent words indeed. Present to me your case."

Rasulullaah then presented Islaam to him and recited the Qur'aan to him. Hadhrat Tufayl remarked, "I swear by Allaah that I have never heard words more beautiful (than the Qur'aan) nor any matter as balanced (as Islaam)."

After accepting Islaam and reciting the Shahaadah, Hadhrat Tufayl said, "0 Rasulullaah! My people obey me so I shall return to them and invite them to Islaam. Pray to Allaah to grant me a sign which will assist me in inviting them."

Rasulullaah made du'aa saying, "0 Allaah! Grant him a sign."


Hadhrat Tufayl Returns to his People to Invite them to Islaam and Allaah Assists him by Granting him a Sign

Hadhrat Tufayl says that he then went to his people and was at a valley from which he could see the people present there when a light radiated from between his eyes like a lantern. He then prayed, "0 Allaah! Not on my face because my people will think that this is a form of punishment affecting my face because I had left my religion."

He narrates further, "The light then moved to the top of my whip. The people present then showed each other the light on my whip which resembled a suspended lantern as I descended the valley towards them. When I reached them it was still morning."


Hadhrat Tufayl invites his Father and Wife to Islaam and they Both Accept

Hadhrat Tufayl nararrates that when he came to his people, his father who was an extremely old man came to him. Hadhrat Tufayl said, "Keep away from me, 0 father because you are not mine and I am not yours."

"Why is it, 0 beloved son?" his father asked.

Hadhrat Tufayl replied, "because I have accepted Islaam and am a follower of Muhammad."

Hi s father said, "Your religion is mine."

His father then took a bath, cleaned his clothes and came back to Hadhrat Tufayl who presented Islaam to him. He accepted Islaam.

When his wife came to him, Hadhrat Tufayl said to her, "Keep away from me for I am not yours and you are not mine."

"Why is it? May my parents be sacrificed for you!"

Hadhrat Tufayl replied, "Islaam has separated me from you."

She also accepted Islaam. Hadhrat Tufayl further says that when he invited the rest of the Dows tribe to Islaam, they displayed reluctance.


Rasulullaah Makes Du'aa for the Dows Tribe After Which They Accept Islaam and Come to Rasulullaah Along with Hadhrat Tufayl

Hadhrat Tufayl then went to Rasulullaah in Makkah and said, "0 Nabi of Allaah! The Dows tribe has overpowered me. Please invoke Allaah's curses on them."

(Instead) Rasulullaah prayed, "0 Allaah! Guide the Dows tribe."

Rasulullaah then said to him, "Return to your people, give them Da'wah and be gentle with them."

Hadhrat Tufayl then returned to his people and continued giving them Da'wah all the time until Rasulullaah migrated (to Madinah) and the battles of Badr, Uhud and Khandaq were over.

Thereafter, Hadhrat Tufayl went to Rasulullaah together with all those from his people who had accepted Islaam. At the time Rasulullaah was in Khaybar. Hadhrat Tufayl eventually reached Madinah with seventy or eighty families from the Dows tribe. (I)

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas - has also narrated from Hadhrat Tufayl bin Amr the story of how he accepted Islaam, how he gave Da'wah to his father, his wife and his and his arrival in Makkah, just as it was mentioned in the previous narration. However, the narration of Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas, adds that Rasulullaah sent Hadhrat Tufayl to burn an idol called Dhul Kaffayn. In addition, it also mentions that Hadhrat Tufayl thereafter left for Yamaamah where he saw a dream and was then martyred in the Battle of Yamaamah. (2)

Another narration states that when Hadhrat Tufayl arrived in Makkah, some people from the Quraysh told him about Rasulullaah and requested him to assess Rasulullaah. He therefore went to Rasulullaah and recited some of his poetry to Rasulullaah. Rasulullaah then recited Surah Ikhlaas and the Mu'awwadhatayn (Surahs Falaq and Naas) to him. He accepted Islaam on the spot and then returned to his people. The narration then goes on to speak about his whip and its light. The narrator mentions further that Hadhrat Tufayl - then invited his parents to Islaam. His father accepted Islaam but his mother did not. When he invited his tribesmen, it was only Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah, who accepted.

Thereafter, Hadhrat Tufayl went to Rasulullaah and said, 'Would youlike a fortified stronghold with strong defences?" he was referring to the territory of the Dows tribe (which he wanted Rasulullaah to take hold of after cursing the Dows tribe).

However, when Rasulullaah made du'aa for the Dows tribe instead, Hadhrat Tufayl said, "This is not what I wanted."

Rasulullaah said, "There are many of them who are just like you."

Amongst the Dows tribe was a person called Jundub bin Amr bin Humama bin Auf who used to say during the Period of Ignorance, "I know that the Creation has a Creator but I do not know who it is."

When he heard of Rasulullaah, he went to Rasulullaah along with seventy five men of his tribe and they all accepted Islaam. Hadhrat Abu Hurayra narrates that Jundub placed each man individually before Rasulullaah.

(Apart from the above,) Many narrations have already passed (that are also relevant to this discussion) such as the narrations mentioning the Da'wah Hadhrat Ali gave to the Hamdaan tribe), the Da'wah Hadhrat Khaalid bin Waleed gave to the Banu Haarith bin Ka' b (tribe) and the Da'wah Hadhrat Abu Umaama gave to his tribe(5)

Women and Jihaad


Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas narrates that a woman once came to Rasulullaah and said, "0 Rasulullaah! I have been sent to represent all the women before you. Allaah has made Jihaad compulsory on the men. They are rewarded when they suffer any injuries and if they are martyred, they remain alive by their Rabb and are sustained. On the other hand, all we women do is to serve the men. What rewards will we then receive?"

Rasulullaah replied, "Make it clear to every woman you meet that the reward for obedience to the husband and for fulfilling his rights equals this (reward for Jihaad). However, there are few of you who do this." (2)

Towards the end of a narration in Tabraani, it is reported that a woman came to Rasulullaah and asked, "I have been sent to you as an envoy from the other women. Every woman who knows about my coming here and every woman who does not know about it have wished me to come. Allaah is the Rabb of men and women alike and he is also the Rabb of women. Similarly, you are Allaah's Rasool to men and women. Allaah has made Jihaad compulsory on the men. They receive the booty when they do well (and are victorious) and if they are martyred, they remain alive by their Rabb and are.sustained. Which good deed (of a woman) can equal these deeds of men?".

Rasulullaah replied, "Obedience to their husbands and recognising the rights they owe. However, there are few of you who actually do this." (3)

Aku Diuji Lagi

Firman Allah dalam surah Al-'Ankabuut;

الم
1. Alif, Laam, Miim.


أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ
2. Patutkah manusia menyangka bahawa mereka akan dibiarkan dengan hanya berkata: "Kami beriman", sedang mereka tidak diuji (dengan sesuatu cubaan)?


وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ
3. Dan demi sesungguhnya! Kami telah menguji orang-orang yang terdahulu daripada mereka, maka (dengan ujian yang demikian), nyata apa yang diketahui Allah tentang orang-orang yang sebenar-benarnya beriman, dan nyata pula apa yang diketahuiNya tentang orang-orang yang berdusta.


أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا سَاء مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
4. Bahkan patutkah orang-orang yang melakukan kejahatan menyangka bahawa mereka akan terlepas dari azab Kami? Amatlah buruk apa yang mereka hukumkan itu.


مَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاء اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ لَآتٍ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
5. Sesiapa yang percaya akan pertemuannya dengan Allah (untuk menerima balasan), maka sesungguhnya masa yang telah ditetapkan oleh Allah itu akan tiba (dengan tidak syak lagi); dan Allah jualah Yang Maha Mendengar, lagi Maha Mengetahui.


وَمَن جَاهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَاهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ
6. Dan sesiapa yang berjuang (menegakkan Islam) maka sesungguhnya dia hanyalah berjuang untuk kebaikan dirinya sendiri; sesungguhnya Allah Maha Kaya (tidak berhajatkan sesuatupun) daripada sekalian makhluk.


وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَحْسَنَ الَّذِي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
7. Dan orang-orang yang beriman serta beramal soleh sesungguhnya Kami akan hapuskan dari mereka kesalahan-kesalahan mereka, dan Kami akan membalas apa yang mereka telah kerjakan - dengan sebaik-baik balasan.


*********************************************


Isnin lepas jam 8 malam, anak perempuan aku no 2 (12 tahun) di masukkan ke wad di hospital Selayang sebab kena apendik. Aku masa tu tengah keluar 3 hari di Pinggiran Templer, tak jauh dari hospital. Asbab kelemahan aku yang bawak handphone, maka berita tu sampai jugak kat aku... Lepas solat istikhoroh 2 rakaat, aku minta kebenaran amir sab untuk tangguh dari jemaah dan bergegas ke hospital.

Pembedahan kena dibuat segera dan aku diperlukan untuk sign concern letter. Pembedahan dibuat kira-kira jam 12 tengah malam dan selesai kira2 jam 2 pagi. Lama jugak sebab apendik tu dah pecah dan bernanah. Aku yang dah fobia duduk kat hospital, nampaknya kena lepak lagi kat sini.

Alhamdulillah, pagi tadi doktor kata petang ni boleh balik, insyaAllah.
(sekarang ni balik rumah kejap tengok apa2 urusan yang tak selesai dan sempatlah update blog)

Doa hidayat untuk umat. Aku quot ayat Quran kat atas untuk tenangkan hati sendiri.

Khansa rA.ha - ibu kepada syuhada


Al-Khansa adalah seorang wanita penyair yang tersohor di zaman Rasulullah saw. Nama bapanya adalah Amru bin al-Haris bin asy-Syarid. Ia adalah seorang ibu yang memiliki empat orang anak yang sangat ia cintai.

Rasulullah saw pernah meminta kepadanya untuk bersyair, maka beliau bersyair. Rasulullah saw menyahut, "Wahai Khansa' dan hari-hariku di tangan-Nya"

Salah satu syair Al-Khansa yang bagus:

Kedua mataku menangis dan tiada akan membeku
Bagaimana mata tidak menangis untuk Shakhr yang mulia
Bagaimana mata tidak menangis untuk sang pemberani
Bagaimana mata tidak menangis untuk seorang pemuda yang luhur

Ketika Adi bin Hatim datang kepada Rasulullah saw, dia berkata kepada Nabi, "Wahai Rasulullah saw, sesungguhnya di tengah-tengah kami ada orang yang paling ahli dalam syair, ada juga orang yang paling dermawan di antara manusia dan orang yang paling ahli dalam menunggang kuda."

Kemudian Nabi saw bersabda, "Siapakah nama mereka?" Adi bin Hatim berkata, "Adapun orang yang paling ahli bersyair adalah al-Qais bin Hajar, sedangkan yang paling dermawan adalah Hatim bin Sa'ad (yakni bapaknya Adi), adapun yang paling ahli dalam berkuda adalah Amru bin Ma'di Karib."

Rasulullah saw bersabda, "Tidak benar apa yang kamu katakan wahai Adi, adapun orang yang paling ahli dalam syair adalah Khansa' binti Amru, adapun orang yang paling dermawan adalah Muhammad (yakni Muhammad saw), sedangkan orang yang paling ahli berkuda adalah Ali bin Abu Thalib."

Maka tak heranlah bila Al-Khansa disebut sebagai wanita penyair dengan keistimewaannya, “Telah dikumpulkan para penyair dan ternyata tidak didapatkan seorang wanita yang lebih ahli tentang syair daripada beliau “

Suatu ketika, Khansa’ mendatangi Rasulullah saw bersama kaumnya dari Bani Salim, kemudian mengumumkan ke-Islamannya dan menganut aqidah Islam. Dengan kesungguhan Khansa dalam menganut Islam, ia menjadi lambang akan keberanian, kebesaran jiwa, serta kemuliaan bagi sosok wanita muslimah.

Salah satu prestasi yang mengagumkan adalah jihad Islam dalam membela kebenaran Islam. Khansa turut berperang bersama kaum muslimin dan menyertai pasukan mereka yang memperoleh kemenangan.

Ketika Mutsanna bin Haritsah asy-Syaibani berangkat ke Qadisiyah di masa Amirul Mukminin Umar bin Khaththab ra, Khansa’ berangkat bersama keempat putranya untuk menyertai pasukan tersebut. Di medan peperangan, di saat malam ketika para pasukan sedang siap berperang satu sama lain, Khansa’ mengumpulkan keempat putranya untuk memberikan petuah dan bimbingan kepada mereka dan mengobarkan semangat kepada mereka untuk berperang dan agar mereka tidak lari dari peperangan serta agar mereka mengharapkan syahid di jalan Allah swt.

Berikut ini adalah wasiat Al-Khansa’ kepada anak-anaknya:

“Wahai anak-anakku, sesungguhnya kalian telah masuk Islam dengan ketaatan, kalian telah berhijrah dengan sukarela dan Demi Allah, tiada Illah selain Dia. Sesungguhnya kalian adalah putra-putra dari seorang wanita yang tidak pernah berkhianat kepada ayah kalian, kalian juga tidak pernah memerlukan paman kalian, tidak pernah merusak kehormatan kalian dan tidak pula berubah nasab kalian. Kalian mengetahui apa yang telah Allah janjikan bagi kaum muslimin berupa pahala yang agung bagi yang memerangi orang-orang kafir, dan ketahuilah bahwa negeri yang kekal lebih baik dari negeri yang fana (binasa).

Kemudian beliau membaca sepotong ayat al Quran; Allah Azza wa Jalla befirman,

“Wahai orang-orang yang berfirman, bersabarlah kamu dan kuatkanlah kesabaranmu dan tetaplah bersiap siaga (di perbatasan) dan bertakwalah kepada Allah supaya kamu beruntung.” (Ali Imran: 20).

Maka, ketika datang waktu esok, jika Allah menghendaki kalian masih selamat, persiapkanlah diri kalian untuk memerangi musuh dengan penuh semangat dan mohonlah kepada Allah untuk kemenangan kaum muslimin. Jika kalian melihat perang telah berkecamuk, ketika api telah berkobar, maka terjunlah kalian di medan laga, bersabarlah kalian menghadapi panasnya perjuangan, niscaya kalian akan berjaya dengan ghanimah (rampasan perang) dan kemuliaan atau syahid di negeri yang kekal."

Keempat putra Khansa mendengarkan wejangan tersebut dengan penuh seksama. Mereka keluar dari kamar ibu mereka dengan tekad membara untuk menunaikan amanah jihad dan perjuangan. Ketika datang waktu pagi, mereka segera bergabung bersama pasukan dan bertolak untuk menghadapi musuh. Syair mereka lantunkan.

Anak yang tertua bersenandung:

Wahai saudaraku, sesungguhnya ibunda sang penasehat
Telah berwasiat kepada kita kemarin malam
Dengan penjelasan yang tenang dan gamblang
Maka bersegeralah menuju medan tempur yang penuh bahaya
Yang kalian hadapi hanyalah
kawanan anjing yang sedang menggonggong
Sedang mereka yakin bahwa dirinya akan binasa oleh kalian
Adapun kalian telah dinanti oleh kehidupan yang lebih baik
Ataukah syahid untuk mendapatkan ghanimah yang menguntungkan

Kemudian dia maju untuk berperang hingga terbunuh.

Lalu yang kedua bersenandung:

Sesungguhnya ibunda yang tegas dan lugas
Yang memiliki wawasan yang luas dan pikiran yang lurus
Suatu nasihat darinya sebagai tanda berbuat baik terhadap anak
Maka bersegeralah terjun di medan perang dengan jantan
Hingga mendapatkan kemenangan penyejuk hati
Ataukah syahid sebagai kemuliaan abadi
Di Jannah Firdaus dan hidup penuh bahagia

Kemudian dia maju dan berperang hingga menemui syahid.

Lalu giliran putra Al-Khansa’ yang ketiga bersenandung:

Demi Allah, aku tak akan mendurhakai ibuku walau satu huruf pun
Beliau telah perintahkan aku untuk berperang
Sebuah nasihat, perlakuan baik, tulus dan penuh kasih sayang
Maka, bersegeralah terjun ke medan perang yang dahsyat
Hingga kalian dapatkan keluarga Kisra (kaisar) dalam kekalahan
Jika tidak, maka mereka akan membobol perlindungan kalian
Kami melihat bahwa kemalasan kalian adalah suatu kelemahan
Adapun yang terbunuh di antara kalian adalah kemenangan dan pendekatan diri kepada-Nya

Kemudian, dia maju dan bertempur hingga mendapatkan syahid.

Lalu giliran putra Al-Khansa’ yang terakhir bersenandung:

Bukanlah aku putra Al-Khansa, bukan pula milik al-akhram
Bukan pula Amru yang memiliki keagungan
Jika aku tidak bergabung dengan pasukan yang memerangi Persia
Maju dalam kancah yang menakutkan
Hingga berjaya di dunia dan mendapat ghanimah
Ataukah mati di jalan yang paling mulia

Kemudian, dia maju untuk bertempur hingga terbunuh.

Berita syahidnya empat bersaudara itu sampai kepada ibunya yang mukminah dan sabar. Al Khansa, Sang Bunda, tidak menjadi goncang ataupun meratap, bahkan dia mengatakan suatu perkataan yang masyhur yang dicatat oleh sejarah dan akan senantiasa diulang-ulang oleh sejarah sampai waktu yang dikehendaki Allah. Ucap Al Khansa:

“Segala puji bagi Allah yang memuliakan diriku dengan syahidnya mereka, dan aku berharap kepada Rabb-ku agar Dia mengumpulkan diriku dengan mereka dalam rahmat-Nya”


Al-Khansa wafat di Badiyah pada tahun 24 Hijriyah, yaitu di awal kekhalifahan Utsman bin Affan. Semoga Allah swt merahmati Al-Khansa, seorang ibu yang sungguh mulia dan patut dijadikan teladan bagi kita semua.

Umair Bin Abi Waqas r.a

Medan Badar
(gambar dipinjam dari sini)

Senarai si Syahid di Badar
(Nama Umair Bin Abi Waqas pada no 1)

Semasa kaum Muslimin berangkat ke medan peperangan Badar, seorang remaja yang berumur 16 tahun, namanya Umair bin Abi Waqas r.a, takut kalau kalau dia tidak dibenarkan menyertai peperangan kerana disebabkan umurnya yang masih muda. Kerana itulah beliau keluar dengan cara sembunyi-sembunyi agar tidak diketahui oleh sesiapa pun. Abangnya Saad bin Abi Waqas r.a yang melihat hal itu bertanya apakah sebab beliau bersembunyi-sembunyi begini? Jawab Umair: “Aku takut kalau Rasulullah SAW menyuruhku kembali sedangkan aku ingin mati syahid di medan petempuran”.

Apabila Rasulullah SAW mengetahui kejadian itu baginda hampir sahaja menyuruhnya kembali ke Madinah kerana Umair bin Abi Waqas r.a masih belum cukup umurnya untuk berperang. Namun kerana Umair r.a menangis minta diizinkan oleh Nabi SAW untuk ikut berperang. Baginda kasihan melihatnya dan terharu di atas semangat jihad dan kesungguhan Umair r.a, akhirnya baginda SAW membenarkannya. Maka terkabullah cita-cita Umair r.a dan beliau adalah salah seorang yang gugur di medan peperangan Badar sebagai syahid.


Komen Aku:
Inilah semangat perjuangan remaja di zaman sahabat. Keinginan untuk mati DI JALAN ALLAH. Berbeza dengan remaja kita hari ni, berkeinginan mati DI JALAN RAYA. Mudah-mudahan dengan usaha agama yang wujud dan bergerak maju sekarang ni, akan mengembalikan remaja dan pemuda Islam yang sanggup untuk buat pengorbanan diri dan harta untuk agama Allah.

Aku sendiri pun masih tak berani nak beri seluruh hidup untuk agama. Nak suruh keluar 4 bulan pun takut-takut... hampeh..

The Incidents of 3 Sahabah with Rustam


Hadhrat Muhammad, Hadrat Talha, Hadhrat Amr and Hadhrat Ziyaad all reports that Hadhrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqaas sent for Hadhrat Mughiera and few others and said to them, "I intend sending you to those people (the Persians). What have you to say about it?" They all said in one voice, "We shall do as you command and do no more. If a situation arises concerning which there are no directives from you, we shall look for what is best and most beneficial for the people and discuss that with them."

Hadhrat Sa'd then said to them, "Such is the behaviour of intelligent and experienced people. Go and get ready." Hadhrat Rib'ee ibn Aamir then said, 'The non-Arabs have their own peculiar ideas and etiquette and if we all go to them, they will feel that we are placing them on a pedestal. Do not send more than one person." When the other agreed with this, Hadhrat Rib'ee volunteered to go first. Hadhrat Sa'd then sent him and Hadhrat Rib'ee left to meet Rustam in his cantonment.

However, the sentries at the bridge stopped Hadhrat Rib'ee and sent a message to Rustam, informing him of the arrival. Rustam consulted with some leaders of Persia, asking, "What are your opinions? Should we boast only about our military superiority or should we make them feel worthless (by displaying our wealth and riches)?" They were all unanimous about making the Muslims seem worthless, so they made a display of their opulent commodities, they laid out exquisite carpets and cushions and spared nothing in their effort.A golden throne was made for Rustam and he dressed most lavishly. Expensive rugs and cushions woven with gold thread were also laid out.

Hadhrat Rib'ee arrived on his short, long-haired horse, carrying a shining sword. His scabbard was a pouch made of old cloth and his spear was tied with a leather strap. He also carried a shield made of cow's hide, the face of which had round patches of red leather that resembled bread. He also carried his bow and arrows with him. When he came to the court and reached the first of the rugs, he was told to alight from his horse. He however rode the horse on the rug and alighted only when it stood properly on the rug. He then tore up two cushions, pierced the horse's reins through them and tied the horse up.

All this while, the people there were unable to stop him. Hadhrat Rib'ee knew well that they were displaying everything to him to make him feel inferior, so he wished to get the upper hand over them (because of which he did what he did to show them that their wealth held no attraction for him).

The armour Hadhrat Rib'ee was wearing flowed over him like a dam and he wore the hide of a camel over it like a cloak. He had made a hole in the hide, drew it over his head and tied it about his waist with a cord made from plant fibres. Hadhrat Rib'ee was amongst the hairiest of all Arabs and his hair was tied with the leather reins of a camel. His hair was separated into four lock; that stoodlike the horns of a mountain goat.

The people told him to put down his weapons, to which he replied, "I have not come here by my own accord, so you cannot instruct me to drop my weapons. It is you who have sent for me, so if you do not want me to come as I please, I might as well go back." When this was reported to Rustam, he said, "Allow him in. He is but one person."

Hadhrat Rib'ee arrived, leaning on his spear that had a sharp head. He took short steps and tore the rugs and cushions (with the spear) as he walked. There was no cushion or rug that he did not. ruin, leaving them all torn and tattered after him. When he came up to Rustam, the sentries surrounded him. Hadhrat Rib'ee then sat on the ground and stuck his spear into the rug. "What made you do that?" they asked, Hadhrat Rib'ee replied, "We do not like to sit on those decorated places of yours."

Rustam then addressed Hadhrat Rib'ee saying, 'Whatbringsyou here?" "Allaah has sent us," Hadhrat Rib'ee replied, "Allaah has sent us to remove whoever He wills from servitude to man and to lead him to the servitude of Allaah. Allaah has sent us to remove them from the narrowness of this world towards its vastness and from the oppression of other religions towards the justice of Islaam ..."

The narration then continues, as has been quoted in the chapter discussing the Da'wah that the Sahabah gave during the Khilaafah of Hadhrat Umar. The narration proceeds to state that Rustam said to the courtiers (when they criticised Hadhrat Rib'ee's appearance), "Shame on you! Do not look at clothing but rather look at the prudence, the speech and the personality. The Arabs care little for clothing and food but are covetous about their lineage. They do not dress like you and have different tastes."

The Persians then approached Hadhrat Rib'ee to have a look at his weapons, regarding them to be inferior. He said to them, "Do you wish to show me your military prowess and I shall show you mine?" He then drew his sword from his cloth pouch and it flashed like a flame of fire. "Sheath it!" they called out (in terror). He then sheathed his sword. They then fired arrows at his shield while he fired arrows at theirs. Their shield was shattered while his shield remained intact. He then addressed them saying, "0 Persians! While you have given great importance to food and drink, we treat it with little ceremony." He then went back after giving them time (three days) to consider their position.

The following day, the Persians sent a message saying that they wanted the same person sent back to them. Hadhrat Sa'd however sent Hadhrat Hudhayfah bin Mihsin. He also arrived in simple attire as Hadhrat Rib'ee wore. When he also came to the first rug, he was told to alight from his animal. He however said, "That I would have done if 1 had come to you for my own needs. Ask your king whether I have come for his need or for mine. If he says that it is for my own need, he is lying and I shall return and leave you alone. However, if he says that it is for his own need, then I shall come as I please.".

Rustam instructed the sentries to allow Hadhrat Hudhayfah in and he rode up to Rustam who was seated on his throne. "You may get off your animal," Rustam said. "I shall not," Hadhrat Hudhayfah replied. When he saw that Hadhrat Hudhayfah would not get off the animal, Rustam asked, "What is the matter that you have come and not your companion who came yesterday?" Hadhrat Hudhayfah replied, "Our leader wishes to treat us equally in favourable and adverse conditions. It is my turn today."

"What brings you people here?" Rustam asked. Hadhrat Hudhayfah replied, "Allaah has favoured us with His religion and shown us His signs until we realised that it was the truth even though we had been opposed to it. He then commanded us to invite people to one of three options. We shall accept any of the three options they choose. Either you accept Islaam and we shall leave you alone. Otherwise, you may choose to pay the Jizya and we shall stand in your defence whenever the need arises. The next option is battle." "Do we have a few days to enter into an agreement?" Rustam asked. Hadhrat Hudhayfah replied, "You have three days which started yesterday."

When Rustam received from Hadhrat Hudhayfah nothing more than he got from Hadhrat Rib'ee , he sent him away and addressed his companions saying, "Shame on you people! Do you not see what I see? The first man came to us yesterday and defeated us on our premises. He degraded what we were enamoured with, stood his horse on our opulence and even tied his horse to it. He took a good omen from what he did and returned to his people, taking some of our soil with him. That was apart from his superior intelligence. Today this other man arrived and stood over us, also taking a good omen from it by taking our land after expelling us from it." Rustam however infuriated the others and they also infuriated him (by refusing to listen to him).

The following day, the Persians again asked for someone to be sent to them and this time, Hadhrat Mughiera bin Shu'ba ; was sent.

lbn Jareer (Vo1.3 Pg 33)


Another narration continues the narrative, staying that when Hadhrat Mughiera ached the bridge to cross over into Persian territory, he was halted by the sentries who first sought permission from Rustam to allow him in. The Persians, however, did not leave out any of the pomp and ceremony in their effort to make the Arabs feel inferior. Therefore, when Hadhrat Mughiera arrived, the Persians still boasted their opulence. They wore crowns, garments woven from gold threads and carpets were laid out the distance that an arrow travelled. The only way to reach the king was over this length of carpet.

Hadhrat Mughiera who also wore four locks of hair walked up to Rustam and sat with him on his throne and cushion. The courtiers sprang up, grabbed at him and brought him down, even hitting him mildly. Hadhrat Mughiera addressed them saying, "We have always heard that you people were intelligent, but I do not think that there is any nation more foolish than you. We Arabs treat each other as equals and do not make slaves of each other unless circumstances of war demand. I had always thought that you people also practice equality amongst yourselves just as we do. Rather than doing what you just did, it would have been better if you just told me that some of you prevail as masters over others. If sitting beside Rustam was not palatable to you, we will then not do so again. 1 would have not come to you had you not sent for me, but today I can see that your sovereignty is soon to vanish and that you will be vanquished because no power can survive with such a way of life and with such a mentality."

(Hearing this) The common people shouted, "The Arab is right!" To this, the leaders remarked, "By Allaah! He has made a statement towards which our slaves will always be referring us! May Allaah destroy our elders! How foolish were they to regard these people (the Arabs) as insignificant (they should have realised the threat and wiped them out a long time ago) ..." The narration then continues to mention the questions Rustam asked and the replies Hadhrat Mughiera gave him.

The Statement that the Emperor of China made about the Sahabah r.hum


(The Emperor of Persia) Yazdgird once wrote to the Emperor of China to seek reinforcements. Addressing the Persian envoy, the Chinese Emperor said, "I know well that it is the duty of any Emperor to assist another against those who are overpowering him. However, I want you to describe to me these people who are driving you out of your lands because I gather from what you said that they are fewer in number than you. From what you have described to me, people as few as them cannot overpower an adversary as many as you unless there is tremendous good in them and rot within you."

"You may ask me whatever you please about them," the envoy said.

The Emperor then asked, "Do they fulfil their promises?"

"Yes," the envoy replied.

The next question was, "What do they tell you before they engage you in combat?"

"They invite us to accept one of three options. We either accept their religion, in which case they treat us as they treat each other. Otherwise, we may accept to pay the Jizya and thus receive their protection. The final option is to face them in battle."

The Emperor then asked, "How obedient are they towards their leaders."

"They are the most obedient of all people towards their leaders," came the reply.

The Emperor further asked, "What do they regard as lawful and what do they regard as unlawful?"

When the envoy gave him a detailed reply, the Emperor asked, "And do they forbid what has been made lawful for them or make lawful what has been forbidden for them?"

"This they do not do," the envoy replied.

The Emperor then said, "Such a nation will never be destroyed as long as they regard what is lawful as lawful and what is unlawful as unlawful."

The next question the Emperor asked was about the clothing the Sahabah r.hum wore. When the envoy described it to him, he then asked about the modes of transport the Sahabah r.hum used. The envoy described the Arab horses that the Sahabah used in detail, after which the Emperor remarked, "Those make excellent fortresses." The envoy then went on to describe the camels that they used and even explained how they sit and then get up with their loads. The Emperor (who had probably never seen a camel before) notes, "That is common with all animals that have long necks."

The Chinese Emperor then wrote back to Yazdgird saying, "It is not ignorance of my duty that prevents me from sending to your aid an army so large that while the first of it is in Marw (the Persian city of), the last is still here in China. However, the description of these people whom your envoy has described to me tells me that if they had to come up against a mountain, they would certainly shatter it. If they are left to advance and retain their qualities, they will soon remove me from my kingship. Enter into a treaty with them and be content to abide by the clauses of the treaty. You should however never attack them as long as they do not attack you."
