solat jumaat

Semalam ana pegi makan piza ngan kawan ana...alhamdulillah lepas rasa mengidam piza...sebelum sampai di resoran,dalam perjalanan ana dengar suara khatib membaca khutbah dari masjid Kg. Baru..tetapi ada yang ana pelik..ada seorang lelaki yang ana tak kenal menegur ana.."x solat jumaat ke"..ana pelik sebab ana yang patut ditanya atau bertanya...lg satu pemandangan yang tidak patut wujud ialah ramai muslimin sepatutnya menuju ke masjid sewaktu khutbah tetapi ke gerai makan,warung,restoran....itu lebih ramai..inikah pemandangan di negara Islam?solat jumaat yang hanya 2 rakaat tidak mampu ditunaikan apatah lagi solat fardhu yang jumlah rakaatnya lebih banyak...ana sedih manusia sekarang tidak benar-benar menjadi umat Muhammad..hanya sekadar nama..hanya memikirkan dunia langsung tidak memandang kpd dunia yang lebih kekal iaitu akhirat.

Peringatan untuk ana dan sahabat,kita sedang berada di zaman yang ke 4...menurut Pendakwah Indonesia, Muhammad Ihsan Arlansyah Tanjung (lebih dikenali sebagai Ihsan Tanjung) ada menghuraikan isu ini.

Katanya, menurut hadis sahih, masa akhir zaman ini terbahagi kepada lima iaitu pada zaman Rasulullah SAW masih hidup, zaman Khulafa ar-Rasyidin (empat sahabat Nabi Abu Bakar, Umar, Usman dan Ali), zaman maalikan ‘adhan atau khalifah Islam selepas Ali bin Abi Talib hingga runtuhnya kerajaan Uthmaniah di Turki (1924), zaman maalikan jabariyan atau penguasa diktator (zaman sekarang) dan terakhir zaman kembalinya kegemilangan Islam mengikut sistem khalifah.

Berdasarkan lima zaman ini, Ihsan berpendapat zaman kita sekarang adalah zaman keempat atau maalikan jabariyan, sesuai dengan keadaan semasa yang mana penguasa diktator bermaharajalela dan menyaksikan kekalahan umat Islam di mana-mana pelusuk dunia.

Malah, ada pendapat bahawa kita semakin menghampiri penghujung zaman diktator berdasarkan kata-kata sahabat yang disebutkan dalam Atsar, menerangkan tanda sudah dekatnya kemunculan Imam Mahdi yang akan menegakkan khalifah Islam bagi zaman kelima itu.

Menurut riwayat, apabila sudah dekat kedatangan Imam Mahdi, banyak terjadi pembunuhan dan peperangan. Orang mahu berbunuhan kerana masalah remeh-temeh dan berperang antara kumpulan atau negara kerana masalah kecil.

Bencana seperti gempa bumi, letusan gunung berapi, angin puting beliung dan banjir semakin banyak terjadi. Begitu juga penyakit, semakin banyak jenis penyakit dan semakin ramai manusia berpenyakit.

“Melihat fenomena yang terjadi dalam masyarakat sekarang ini, nampaknya tanda kiamat atau akhir zaman sudah terjadi semuanya? Belum semua. Sudah kira-kira 95 peratus, jadi masih ada lima peratus yang belum terjadi,” kata Ihsan.(sumber harian metro)

Ingatlah sahabat marilah kita kembali kepada jalan yang diredhaiNYA agar kita bahagia di dunia abadi...jadikan hidup ini perjuangan hakiki...

Sayyid Qutb-the real mujahid

Sayyid Qutb was born on 8 October 1906, in a village called "Musha" in the township of Qaha in the province of Assyout in Egypt. He entered the elementary and primary school of Musha in 1912 and finished his primary education in 1918. He dropped out of school for two years because of the revolution of 1919. His father was Haj Qutb, son of Ibrahi, and a well-known religious person in his village, and his mother was also a religious lady from a well-known family who cared about him and his two younger sisters, Hamida and Amina, and a younger brother, Muhammad. After completing his primary education in Musha, Sayyid Qutb moved to Cairo for further education where he lived with his uncle, Ahmad Hussain Osman. This was in 1920, when he was 14 years old. It should be noted that he memorized the Qur’an when he was about 10 years old in his village. He lost his father while he was in Cairo, so he convinced his mother to move with him to Cairo, where she died in 1940. After the death of his mother, he expressed his loneliness in several articles (Ummah, My Mother) published in the book, "Atatiaf Alarbaa" (The Four Lights), which his sisters, brother and he wrote.

In Cairo, he completed his high school education and enrolled in the teachers’ college, Darul Oloom, in 1929. In 1939 he qualified as an Arabic-Language teacher and received a Bachelor of Arts degree then joined the ministry of education. Very soon (about six years), he left his ministry job as a teacher and devoted his time to freelance writing. A factor leading to his resignation from the teaching job was his disagreement with the ministry of education and many colleagues regarding his philosophy of education and his attitude towards the literary arts.

From 1939 to 1951, an obvious switch in his writing towards the Islamic ideology was noted. He wrote several articles on the artistic expression of the Qur’an, as well as two books titled "Expression of the Qur’an" and "Scenes from the Day of Judgement." In 1948, his book "Social Justice in Islam" was published. In it he made it clear that true social justice can only be realized in Islam. In November 1948, he went to the United States to study educational curricula. He spent two and one half years moving between Washington DC., and California, where he realized the materialistic attitude of the literary arts and its lack of spirituality. He interrupted his stay in the United States and returned to Egypt in August 1950. Sayyid Qutb resumed his job as a teacher and inspector in the ministry of education before he resigned in October 1952 (again because of his repeated philosophical disagreements with the minister of education and many of his colleagues).

The period from 1951 to 1965 included his joining the Ikhwan (The Muslim Brotherhood). His ideas were quite clear about the fallacy of many of the prevailing social and political/economic injustices and the need for Islamic reform, and he became the chief editor of the newspaper of Ikhwan. During his period, several of his books appeared on Islamic ideology and Islam as a complete way of life. He was arrested when the Ikhwan was accused of attempting to overthrow the government in 1954 and was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labor. He remained in Jarah prison near Cairo for about 10 years after which due to his health condition, he was released when the Iraqi President, Abdul Salam Arif, intervened.

In 1965 he published his famous book, Mallem Fittareek (Milestones), which led to his re-arrest with the accusation of conspiracy against the Egyptian President, Abdul Nasser. He was tried and rapidly sentenced to death based upon many excerpts of his book, Milestones. There was quite an international uproar and protest in various Muslim countries with appeals to President Abdul Nasser to pardon Sayyid Qutb. In spite of several demonstrations and many objections in various Muslim countries, Sayyid Qutb was executed by hanging on August 29, 1966. He left behind a total of 24 books, including several novels, several books on literary arts’ critique, on the education of adults and children, and several religious books, including the 30 volume Commentary of the Qur’an.

Sayyid Qutb will always be remembered for his legacy of clearly defining the basic ideas of the Oneness and sovereignty of Allah, the clear distinction between pure faith and the association of partners with Allah (Shirk) overt and hidden, and the only hope for salvation of humanity. Sayyid Qutb was smiling when he was executed, showing his conviction of the beautiful life to come in paradise – a life he definitely and rightfully deserved.

Hassan Al-banna-pejuang terulung

Biographies: Hassan al-Banna (Allah Arhamu) - A great Muslim and teacher of Da'wa
Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Banna, the father of al-Shahid Hassan al-Banna, worked as a watch-repairer in the southern Egyptian town of al-Mahmudiyya. he was also an Islamic scholar that had graduated from al-Azhar University. Imam Hasan al-Banna was the oldest son and was born in al-Mahmudiyya in October 1906.
His family was well educated and followed a very strict Islamic lifestyle. The Imam memorised the Qur'an at a very young age and eventually joined the Teachers Training Centre where after a three-year course he came first in his final examinations. He was admitted to Cairo University despite being only 16 years of age because of his intelligence and breadth of knowledge.
Hassan al-Banna when asked why he commenced the work of da'wah once commented: Only Allah knows how many nights we four spent(his colleagues) reflecting on the situation of the Ummah; what stages it has passed through and the sickness that has reduced it to its present state. And we pondered on the cures for all the Ummah's illnesses. The Ummah's difficulties painhat e would often end up crying during these nights.
In 1927 he took the job of a teacher within a state school at the age of 21. In March 1928, the Imam, his brother and five others gathered at his house and swore to live and die for Islam. The foundation for the Muslim Brotherhood (Jama'at al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun) had now been laid.
In the book "Letter To A Muslim Student" (FOSIS,1995) the dynamics of the Ikhwan are explained: Hassan al-Banna's greatest achievement was his ability to create a sophisticated, organisational structure aiming to translate his vision into real life. However what distinguishes the Ikhwan from other groups which were established in the twenties and afterwards is the former's holistic approach. The Ikhwan was not merely a social, political or religious association or group.
It was described by antagonists as a state within a state. By 1934, the Ikhwan had established more than fifty branches in Egypt. They set up numerous schools, mosques and factories. At the end of World War Two, the Ikhwan had over half a million active workers and around twice as many supporters (some sources say around 3 million). Over two thousand branches were in existence altogether and fifty in Sudan - the work of the Ikhwan began to transcend national borders.
The British even invited al-Banna to their embassy for tea. He was complimented on his good character and his welfare work for the poor, the orphans and the widows was applauded. They explained that the world was very fragile and that Egypt must be built into a modern and prosperous state. They concluded that it was in the Ikhwans interest to get assistance from the British.
Al-Banna listened patiently, then told the Ambassador that Egypt and all its money is the property of the Egyptian people and that Britain's time in Egypt was coming to an end. Al-Banna was exiled to Upper Egypt in 1948.
The government of Noqrashi Pasha banned the Ikhwan despite the organisation having sent thousands of fighters in the war against Israel. A journalist asked al-Banna about the ban and he replied: "..when words are banned, hands make their move."
Shortly afterwards the Prime Minister was killed and the blame was immediately attributed to the Ikhwan. In the following months the properties of the movement were confiscated and thousands of youth were imprisoned.
On the 12th of February 1949, on a sunny crowded market in Cairo Imam Hassan al-Banna was shot dead by assasin. No one was ever charged with the murder.
He was only 43 years old. His last daughter was born on the same day. Her mother named her "Esteshhaad" - martyrdom.
The Muslim Brotherhood has since the martyrdom of Hassan al-Banna survived all attempts to stifle it. Not only did it grow even stronger in Egypt, but it created branches in all the Arab countries. The Islamic resurgence manifest today in the Arab world today owes its origin directly or indirectly to the Muslim Brotherhood Organisation.
