Aku Tidak Mempunyai Pilihan...

Jika kita membahas tentang cinta kepada Allah dalam sudut pandang tasawuf, nama Rabi’ah al-Adawiyah akan selalu disebut dan dibahas baik oleh sufi generasi sezaman dengan dia maupun generasi setelahnya sampai saat ini. Rabi’ah al-Adawiyah lah yang mempopulerkan istilah “Mahabbah” atau maqam cinta, kondisi dimana seorang benar-benar terserap dalam cinta Ilahi sehingga tidak ada lagi yang di…

Untungnya, Jodoh Urusan Allah

Suatu pagi di hari raya, aku mengenakan pakaian terbaik -dan mungkin cukup mahal untuk seukuran orang desa sepertiku. Dari material, model, sampai warnanya sesuai banget dengan aku. Penuh syukur aku memakainya.

Pagi itu, aku dipertemukan dengan teman yang dulu sering ditanya "Kalian kembar, ya?" karena kami cukup mirip.

Tapi, jalan kehidupan kami tidak mirip. Selepas SMP, kami berbeda jalan sampai kemudian dia kuliah, aku kerja. Akhir tahun kemarin dia menyempurnakan separuh agamanya, sementara aku masih pusing dengan persiapan UAS santri dan raportan.

Hari raya pagi itu, aku memakai pakaian yang aku suka. Tapi, dia memakai pakaian couple dengan suaminya.

Orang bilang, aku kalah meski pakaianku lebih mahal darinya. Tapi aku belum bisa memakai pakaian couple dengan pasanganku.

Inilah, untungnya jodoh itu urusan Allah.

Dalam Al-Quran, kata "cinta" untuk pasangan halal menggunakan kata "mawaddah" bukan mahabbah. Karena level cintanya beda. Bukan hanya cinta dari hati masing-masing pasangan saja. Tapi, cinta yang Allah hadirkan pada setiap pasangan. Allah menjadikan ikatan cinta yang hanya dimengerti oleh pasangan masing-masing.

Untungnya, jodoh itu urusan Allah.

Perkara memilih, dipertemukan, diyakinkan, ada campur tangan Allah yang begitu besar. Hingga setiap lisan tidak berhak mencela siapapun yang belum menemukan pasangannya.

Al-Imam Ibn al-Qayyim -may Allah have mercy on him- said:

The types of al-bukaa' (crying are):

◽️Crying from ar-Rahmah (mercy) and tender affection.

◽️Crying from al-khawf wal-khashyah (fear and awe).

◽️Crying from al-mahabbah (love) and longing.

◽️Crying from relief and delight.

◽️Crying from the incapacity from an onset of pain without being able to endure it.

Pernah khawatir kalau nanti karirku tidak bagus, maka finansial keluargaku akan terganggu. Padahal Allah yang mengatur rezeki😭

Bisa jadi, keputusanku untuk memperjuangkan karir saat ini adalah output kekhawatiranku pada masa depan finansial keluargaku.

Hal ini juga karena⏭️

1. Ingin memberikan yang terbaik untuk keluarga. Karena keluarga yang mawaddah, adalah yang selalu ingin memberi tanpa lagi memandang bagaimana pasangan juga me-ratu-kan kita. Jadi di luar pendapatan pasangan berapa, pokoknya kita ingin memberikan mahabbah jalur finansial. Pasangan=mitra sejajar=kolaborasi.

2. Ingin masa tua memiliki aktivitas berfaedah. Bekerja untuk umat.

3. Perempuan terbaik, yang hidupnya hanya untuk Nya. Karir, anak, pasangan, dlsb,,, semata karena Nya. Dan cinta pada yang ada di dunia adalah setelah cinta pada Nya.

4. Hidup cuma satu kali. Mendedikasikan usia untuk hal bermakna. Perempuan akan kembali pada mengurus anak dan mendukung pasangan dari rumah. Namun dengan aktivitas perempuan di luar rumah (bekerja) akan memberikan energi baik, apalagi untuk hal yang disukainya.

5. Hidup dengan ketidakpastian. Ketika suami mendahului kembali ke Rabb ku, tetap berada dalam kondisi aman dalam finansial.

Intinya, ingin memberikan yang terbaik untuk keluarga💜

[asma-al-husna]

Allah calls Himself Al-Hameed— the Most Praiseworthy , the Praised One — on ten occasions in the Quran. He is the One who deserves all praise and honour. Al-Hameed is the only One who is truly worthy of all praise and thanks!

The Praiseworthy, the object of praise

Hameed comes from the root haa-meem-daal, which points to three main meanings. The first main meaning is to praise with a sense of deep adoration and submission. The second main meaning is to honor or speak well of and the third is to praise one for what is done by that one’s own will.

This root appears 63 times in the Quran in five derived forms. Examples of these forms are al hamdu (all praise be to), al-haamidoona  (those who praise), and mahmoodan  (praiseworthy).

Linguistically, hamd is based on mahabbah (love) and ta’dheem (honour) and it implies admiration and gratitude towards the one who is praised (mahmood). Allah is Al-Hameed, He is the One who is always deserving of praise, regardless if He is being praised or not.

Al-Hameed Himself says: And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy [Quran, 22:24] .. and it guides to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy. [Quran, 34:6] . . . O mankind, you are those in need of Allah , while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy. [Quran, 35:15]

Alhamdulillah: an exclusive praise

Believers say alhamdulillah– All praise and thanks are for Allah each day in prayer in Surah Al-Fatiha, the first word of Adam ‘alayhi sallam was alhamdulillah and alhamdulillah will be the last call of the people of Paradise: وَآخِرُدَعْوَاهُمْأَنِالْحَمْدُلِلَّهِرَبِّالْعَالَمِينَ . . . And the last of their call will be, Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds! [Quran,10:10]

Whereas hamd means praise, the ‘al’ in al-hamdmakes the praise definite and implies exclusivity. Al-hamd means all types of praise and every manner of thanks at all times is due to Allah ‘azza wa jall. Abu Ja`far bin Jarir said: The meaning of alhamdulillah is: all thanks are due purely to Allah, alone, not any of the objects that are being worshipped instead of Him, nor any of His creation. [Tafseer ibn Katheer]

Alhamdulillah therefore can be best described by the most complete, perfect, and beautiful praise that is deserved by and for Allah ‘azza wa jall only!


Alhamdulillah in the Quran

The phrase alhamdulillah occurs 38 times in the Quran and it is the praise Allah ‘azza wa jall praised Himself with. Some suwar (plural of surah) of the Quran begin with hamd, which announces that all praise and thanks belong to Allah ‘azza wa jall,  instructs that when we begin something we should begin with praise (like in a sermon or when making dua’) and shows us how to praise Allah– by saying alhamdulillah.

How Can You Live by This Name?

1. Know the virtues alhamdulillah.
Increasing your Islamic knowledge and being aware of different virtues of acts of worship will motivate you to practise them! The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: Verily, your Lord likes Al-Hamd [An-Nasaa’i] He salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam mentioned: the best dhikr (remembering Allah) is laa ilaaha illallah and the best supplication is alhamdulillah [At-Tirmidhee] And: The phrase alhamdulillah fills the scale. [Muslim] Realize the virtues of alhamdulillah!

2. Increase in saying alhamdulillah and feel it.
Increase in saying this beautiful praise in your daily life. And say it out of deep love, honour, and with humility and gratitude to your Lord.  Remember Paradise when you say alhamdulillah, and ask Allah ‘azza wa jall to make you of those who say: Their call therein will be, ‘Exalted are You, O Allah,’ and their greeting therein will be, ‘Peace.’ And the last of their call will be, ‘Praise to Allah , Lord of the worlds.’ [Quran, 10:10]

3. Say it when you are blessed.
The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: No servant is blessed by Allah and says, alhamdulillah except that what he was given is better than that which he has himself acquired. [Ibn Maajah]

4. Know that everything happens for good.
For the believers there is always a win-win situation. The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallamsaid: The affair of the believer is amazing. The whole of his life is beneficial, and that is only in the case of the believer. When good times come to him, he is thankful and it is good for him, and when bad times befall him, he is patient and it is also good for him.[Muslim] Deeply reflect on this hadith and say: alhamdulillah ‘alaa kulli haal– alhamdulillah in every case or situation!

Wallahu ta’alaa ‘alem.
O Allah, Al-Hameed, we know that all praise and thanks belongs to You. Make us of those who praise You as you should be praised, guide us in praising you often and sincerely, and make us of those who say alhamdulillah in Paradise, ameen!

Pelita hati

Hari ini penduduk bumi bersedih sebab telah pergi sang pelita hati, namun lain halnya dengan penduduk langit yang sedang berbahagia menyambut kedatangannya. Telah pergi salah satu pelita hati kami, penyejuk hati kala gundah dan gulana yang diakibatkan perkara dunia.

Beliau salah satu ulama kibar muhaddits yang terkenal kewalia-an nya, sejak kecil sudah menghafal shohih bukhari muslim matan berserta sanadnya yarabb, bahkan dapat khobar dari ahbab beliau bahwa rasulullah yang mendidik beliau dari kecil yarabbana.

Terlihat mustahil bagi kita yang memiliki keterbatasan akal tapi ya memang seperti itu kenyataannya, Allah memilih diantara hamba-hambanNya yang memang pantas untuk mendapat karunia tersebut.

Alhamdulillah maha baik Allah memperkenankan diri ini untuk bisa bersuhbah dengan beliau meskipun sangat amat singkat. Kami yang hanya sebentar saja begitu terasa nikmat nya bertemu dengan beliau apalagi orang-orang yang lebih dahulu.

Pernah suatu hari kami berkunjung ke majelis beliau, karna waktu hampir larut malam namun majelis beliau belum usai. Pengurus dauroh sudah menghimbau untuk segera bergegas menuju kendaraan, karna keinginan kami untuk tetap berdiam diri sampai majelis selesai akhirnya kami bandel sedikit. Tidak ikut serta pulang bareng rombongan ahbab dan niatnya kami mau pulang bersama ahbab malaysia. ala ni'matillah kami bisa hadir sampai selesai dan bersalaman dengan beliau.

Disepanjang perjalanan pulang ada salah satu ustad yang bercerita tentang karamah dan agungnya maulana syekh muhammad, dari malam yang syahdu itu mahabbah kami bertambah kuat hingga rasanya tidak mau dauroh ramadhan ini segera usai. Namun apalah daya hakikatnya dunia memang dirancang untuk sementara dan Allah rancangkan kehidupan akhirat yang kekal sebagai hadiah untuk hamba-hambanNya kelak.

فَرِحِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِم مِّنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Mereka dalam keadaan gembira disebabkan karunia Allah yang diberikan-Nya kepada mereka, dan mereka bergirang hati terhadap orang-orang yang masih tinggal di belakang yang belum menyusul mereka, bahwa tidak ada kekhawatiran terhadap mereka dan tidak (pula) mereka bersedih hati.

ya maulana semoga Allah dan engkau meridhoi suhbah di dunia yang singkat ini, dan semoga suhbah ini berlanjut kelak di akhirat nanti bersama juga dengan rasulullah aaamiin allahumma aamiin :"""""

Very insightful read. Thanks a lot for sharing. Excerpts from the blog:

Levels of ‘ishq and what they mean

Ibn al-Jawzi mentions in Dhamm al Hawa[3] the stages that lead one to the ‘ishq,

'Firstly, a person sees the other person in a good light, which leads him to want to be close to other person, who then develops a type of love (mawaddah) where he wishes that he possessed that thing/person. Then the mawaddah strengthens and becomes mahabbah, and then khullah. After khullah then comes hawa, then ‘ishq, and then tatayyum (this is where a person becomes worshipful of his beloved).'

Ibn al-Jawzi then went on to explain,

'as for ‘ishq which exceeds the bounds of mahabbah, possesses the mind, and makes the person who has it behave in a way that goes against wisdom, then that is dispraised and the wise are far from such a trait.'

[ynx1]

Who does Allaah love?

Shaikh Falaah ibn Ismaa’eel al-Mundakar:

• He loves the doers of good.

• He loves the one who fears Him.

• He loves the steadfastly patient ones.

• He loves those who place their reliance upon Him.

• He loves those who act justly.

• He loves those who perform jihaad in His path.

• He loves those who repent and those who purify themselves.

love of Allah

The Fundamentals Which Cause Mahabbah (Love) of Allāh (The Lord).

Imām Ibn Al Qayyim – رحمة الله عليه – says:

“The reasons which cause mahabbah of Allâh to develop, are ten:

١. Reciting the Qur‘ân, reflecting and understanding its meaning and its intent.

٢. Drawing closer to Allāh – the Most High – through optional deeds, after fulfilling the obligatory duties.

٣. Being continuous in the dhikr (remembrance) of Allāh, with the tongue, the heart and the limbs – under all circumstances. The more constant the dhikr, the more mahabbah develops and intensifies.

٤. Giving precedence to what Allāh loves over personal loves, when being overcome by desires.

٥. Contemplating and deliberating over the Names and Attributes of Allāh.

٦. Recognising and remembering the favours and bounties of Allāh – both the manifest and hidden.

٧. To be humble and submissive before Allāh – and this is the greatest matter.

٨. To be in seclusion reciting the Qur'ān, during that time in which Allāh descends to the lowest heaven (which is the last third of every night), finishing this recitation with seeking Allâh’s forgiveness and repenting to Him.

٩. To sit in the gatherings of true and sincere lovers of Allāh, reaping the fruits of their speech, and not to speak except if there is benefit in it and that you know that such talk will increase you in goodness and that it will benefits others as well.

١٠. To stay clear of all those causes which distances the heart from Allāh – the Mighty and Majestic.

So these are the ten reasons which cause the person to develop true love for Allāh and to reach the rank of al-muhabbah, by which he reaches his Beloved.”

● [مدارج السالكين ٣: ١٧-١٨]

[destana-min]

A person may know this for himself; he may have the problem of committing a sin that he commits regularly even though he believes that it is haraam and hopes to rid himself of it.

But what is feared for the one who persists in sin without repenting is that it may lead him to a bad end, Allāh forbid, or he may begin to love the sin in which he persists, so that leads him to no longer feel in his heart what he is obliged to believe, which is that it is haraam. So he begins to regard the sin as permissible because he is used to it and loves it.

Hence one of the salaf said: Sin is the harbinger of kufr and there is the fear for the one who persists in sin that if he takes the matter lightly and does it as he does permissible things, without hating it or fearing the consequences, his faith will be rendered invalid.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man only commits haraam actions because of the weakness of his faith and love; if he does makrooh actions it is because he does not have enough hatred towards it, or because of the strength of the love for it that overwhelmed his heart. No person does any haraam action, such as immoral conduct both obvious and hidden, or sin and transgression, or associates things with Allah for which He has sent down no authority, or speaks about Allah without knowledge, except because of weakness of faith, because of lack of knowledge and belief, or because of the weakness of love and hate. But if his faith is basically sound, which means that he believes in all that Allah sent, then when the believer does these actions, he feels hatred and resentment towards them, and if he does them then it is because his whims and desires overwhelmed him, so when doing them he inevitably hates them and fears Allāh's punishment for them, and he has the hope that he will rid himself of the consequences, either by repenting or by doing good deeds or by being forgiven, and so on. But if he does not hate them and does not fear Allāh with regard to them and does not hope for His mercy, then this is not a believer under any circumstances; rather he is a kaafir or a hypocrite. [Qaa‘idah fi’l-Mahabbah, p. 104]

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (blessings and peace of Allāh be upon him) say:

“All of my ummah will be fine except those who commit sin openly, and it is part of committing sin openly for a man to do something at night, then in the morning when his Lord has concealed him he says: O So and so, I did such and such last night, when his Lord had concealed him all night, but in the morning he discloses that which Allāh had concealed for him.”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5721) and Muslim (2990).

To sum up: persisting in sin is a major sin, but it does not constitute kufr unless it is accompanied by regarding the action as permissible. Persisting in it does not necessarily indicate that the person regards it as permissible, but it may lead to that.

May Allāh forgive you and have mercy upon you.

Do you think I'm not miserable enough. Why do you have to add onto my pain thinking you're saving me when you're just rubbing salt in my wounds
