Kembali Hidup



Senyum.
Kini,kembali hidup.
Visi yang amat dalam bagi diri ini.
Mudahan Allah menjadikan ruh aku hidup agar dapat menghidupkan orang-orang yang berada disamping aku.

Mungkin aku lama menghilang,
namun aku tetap ada cuma aku tengah membina diri yang baru
Aku tetap menulis selama ini,namun ianya untuk diri,
sekarang setelah aku buat apa yang aku bina,
maka aku merasakan aku mahu berkongsi kepada kalian


Sengih,
Alhamdulillah.
Tarbiah mengajar aku untuk pulih 
Tarbiah menyuntik aku untuk bina
Tarbiah memastikan ruh aku untuk hidup sentiasa!

Special to Thaiyibah Hamdan & Ariffahmi

Enjoying married life the halal way

thoba!maaf sbb tak habaq nak ambik gambar ni.peace yow!


Her hands still show faint remnants of the intricate patterns of henna applied on the day of her nikah.

Their bedroom still emanates a whiff of fragrance of wilting roses still majestic in their ‘faded glory’.

The customary blushes, shyness, nervousness and social awkwardness still mark their nouveau relationship.

The initial days and nights after a wedding are a blur of activity for a newly married couple, as they respond to invitations by close family and friends to dinner parties, lunches and other social get-togethers with culturally resplendent bridal splendor.

As the newly married husband and wife get sucked into the whirlpool of wedding-related activities, alternating between intimate nocturnal moments and frenzied daytime decking up and dining, it is easy to slip into heedlessness of God and laid-backness regarding acts of worship.

There are a few things that the new bride and groom can do in order to prevent their marriage from creating a distance between them and God on an individual level. The answer lies in ‘joining forces’ to become each other’s pillar of support in staying closely connected to God during this blissful and blessed milestone of their young lives.

Praying Together

Late night dinners and frequent intimacy should not become an excuse to miss prayers, especially the pre-dawn Fajr prayer. The bride and groom should use their cell phones to put alarms for prayers that are spaced out in time, so that if one of them shuts off their alarm, rolls over and promptly goes back to sleep, the subsequent alarm set by the other spouse can wake them both up. It should be a priority for them that no prayer is ever missed when they are in each other’s company.

Many a young man who used to sleeping through Fajr during single life, has been known to reform as soon as he married a righteous, whose wife starts waking him up for Fajr when she gets up to pray herself.

It is for this reason that Prophet Muhammad has wisely and emphatically given the advice below to all single Muslim men:

“A woman may be married for four things: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty, or for her religion. Choose the religious one, may your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).” (Ibn Majah)

Daily Reviewing the Quran Together

A few minutes per day should be set aside by the newlywed couple to review the Quran together, preferably early in the morning, before the day’s flurry of activities begin.

In order to help themselves remember to connect to the Quran every day, the husband and wife should recall how, innumerable times in the past when they were single, they used to pray with extra khushu’ (concentration), and recite the Quran with extra concentration, in order to earnestly supplicate to God afterwards for a righteous spouse; for the halal means of satisfying their biological urges; for completing half of their faith.

They should recall the many hours they spent fantasizing about what their future spouse would be like, and what kind of romantic dates they’d go on with them to fully enjoy married life.

Now that all those dreams are coming true, with romantic walks on sun-kissed beaches and cozy dinners at quaint restaurants, the bride and groom should try to consistently remember and thank God for granting them what they asked Him for in their dua’.

And, as a means of thanking Him, they should try to study the Quran together on a daily basis, reviewing the Arabic recitation, translation, and short exegesis of a few verses. One of them can start this review with recitation and tajweed, after which they can take turns in reading from the meanings of the text, gleaning practical lessons for their lives from those verses.

In this way, God will purify and bless the love that they have for each other, by transforming it into the selfless love that is purely for the sake of Allah.

Observing the Islamic Etiquette of Intimacy

A brother once attended a wedding at the masjid that was convened on a Friday after Jumu’ah prayers. In the khutbah, the imam exhorted the importance of a bride and groom never missing an obligatory prayer due to physical intimacy/conjugal relations.

He also claimed that when a husband and wife allow an obligatory prayer to be missed due to lovemaking, and if this intimacy results in a pregnancy, then the child that is born is disobedient and unrighteous.

The newly married husband and wife should take utmost care in following the Islamic etiquette of sexual intimacy i.e. starting with the prophetic supplication, and culminating with a timely ghusl (avoiding dozing off in a state of sexual impurity). They should also beware of straying into deviant forms of sexual satisfaction that would disgust any one possessing a sound mind and pure heart, such as those that humiliate or cause pain to one or both of the spouses.

When their physical, sexual relationship will commence on the right footing, i.e. including the remembrance of God and following the model of the sunnah (way) of Prophet Muhammad, the blessings of these conjugal relations will be felt and reaped by the couple in all the other areas of their marital life as well, for years to come,insha’Allah.

Attending Islamic Lectures and Workshops

Once they are married and a bit more settled into routine life, returning to their job or going back to classes at school, the newlyweds seize opportunities to spend leisurely time together in doing interesting, outgoing things, especially on weekends and public holidays.

In order to mix the pleasure of God with permissible entertainment and recreation, newlywed couples can attend Islamic lectures and workshops together.

If these workshops or lectures are in another city or state, the travel involved can bring a welcome breather from routine life, allowing them to sightsee and explore new places, in addition to gaining more knowledge of Islam, and making new friends in the path of God.

One of the best ways to listen to Quran recitation and beneficial lectures is to play CD’s and tapes of the same in the car when out and about, especially on longer rides and road trips.

I have personally seen the immense benefits of listening to beneficial tapes in the car over the years, and the best part is that this kind of learning takes no extra effort. Eventually, when the babies come along, it will amaze the parents to witness how quickly they start memorizing and retaining the Quran, only because they heard it being played repeatedly in the car whenever they went out!

Thankfully, the beauty of undertaking Islamic activities with one’s spouse as a form of leisure, is that there is great benefit and blessings in “mixing business with pleasure”!

Remembering God in the Natural Outdoors

Whether it is attending late-night cocktail parties at clubs, bars or elitist hotels with other couples, watching adult-themed films at home in bed, or hitting the theaters to catch the trending blockbusters, newlyweds sometime end up committing sins together in the name of romance, enjoyment and leisurely entertainment. They allow themselves to become heedless of God and the limits of Islam whilst blissfully riding the wave of youthful euphoria and gushy romance following their marriage.

The fact is that there are many alternative options for having fun with your spouse the halal way. Even better are those modes of enjoyment that combine the worship and remembrance of God with leisure and relaxation.

It would not just be more enjoyable to go picnicking, hiking, bicycling, kayaking, snorkeling, camping, or sailing – taking in the lovely, sprawling natural outdoors – but such outings will also rejuvenate the couple’s faith in God by allowing them to gaze at and admire the natural beauty that He has spread out through the earth.

When the time for prayer comes during these outdoor trysts, the adventuring couple can enjoy praying on grassy hills, lakesides, or tree-lined forest trails, surrounded by scenic beauty. Praying outdoors like this is truly one of life’s most beautiful experiences!

Touristy Trysts

Other alternative recreation that can enable young newlyweds to have some fun, includes amusement parks, which provide almost child-like excitement and thrills, and trips to educational museums and parks. Going to such places is a healthier alternative to wasting time, energy, money and bodily strength on modes of entertainment that incur the wrath of God instead of His pleasure.

If the couple can afford it, they can combine their vacation or honeymoon with an ‘umrah in order to incorporate the worship of God and an uplift of faith into their leisurely travels, as a gesture of thanking God for marrying them to each other, and granting them the blessings of marital bliss that ignite hopes for a bright and prosperous future ahead in life.

Conclusion: Bonding Through the Love of God

The newlywed phase lasts no more than a few months or a year or two, in which life is slow in pace and blissfully idyllic for a couple that is happily married and in love. As the bride experiments in the kitchen, the groom tries to squeeze in as much private time as he can with her after work hours and other commitments.

During the newlywed phase, the husband and wife should focus not just on bonding with each other, but also on sealing their relationship with the blessing of God’s pleasure, by becoming each other’s pillar of support in faith.

They will then come together, with God’s help, as a dynamic duo so strong in faith, that Satan and his army will not be able to come near them or their future generations, insha’Allah.

20 tahun yang membina dan menghidupkan ruh dan jiwa!



Bina!
Bina!
Bina!

Hidup!Hidup!Hidup!

Fasa membina dan menghidupkan  ruh dan jiwa.
Alhamdulillah.
Kini proses binaan dan hidupkan ruh dan jiwa kini sudah 20 tahun.
Merasakan diri ini sungguh berstylo sekarang~
Kini lebih berstylo untuk memegang kata-kata ini:






Meniti usia dewasa menjadikan saya semakin memahami rentak kehidupannya.
Semakin matang umur dan pemikiran, semakin itu kita faham soal tanggung jawab dan peranan.
Akhirnya setiap detik kehidupan kita jadi lebih bermakna.


Inilah kehidupan. Yang pasti selepas destinasi ini kita akan berhenti pula di satu stesen yang bernama kematian.
Persoalannya, adakah perjalanan kita di destinasi kehidupan bakal sarat membawa timbunan amal yang disaluti ikhlas kepada Tuhan?
Cukup terbelakah agama selama mana hidup di dunia?
Sempurnakah sudah bimbingan yang diberikan kepada keluarga dan ummat seluruhnya?

Hakikatnya amatlah berat menggalas tugas nabi dan Rasul terdahulu sehinggakan menitis airmata mengenang diri yang masih tidak bersungguh-sungguh melaksanakan amanah dan tanggung jawab yang bakal di tanya oleh yang Maha Kuasa.
Hatta amanah kelimuan di madrasah universiti masih belum melayakkan diri memegang skrol keilmuan yang sebenarnya semakin berat untuk dijinjing.
Merasai beratnya untuk memanusiakan manusia.Allahu.

Semoga muhasabah diri di hari lahir ini akan dijadikan sumber kekuatan untuk meneruskan kehidupan yang hidup.

Terima kasih buat supermurabbi,Abi dan Umi kerana mereka banyak memberi dorongan,galakan dan tunjuk ajar untuk proses membina dan menghidupkan ruh dan jiwa saya.

Terima kasih Allah kerana memberikan saya peluang untuk memperbaiki diri sebelum bertemu MU nanti!

Doakan saya agar Allah memakbulkan cita-cita saya untuk membina satu agenda ummah tahun depan!
InsyaAllah.

Bertemulah mereka dalam satu bulatan .Bertanya khabar,iman dan masing-masing kelihatan gembira.
 Murabbiah dengan panggilan Umi hanya tersenyum melihat gelagat mereka.Al-maklumlah  usrah mereka kali ini berada di rumah Umi.
Seorang daripada mereka memulakan .
Basmallah.Al-Fatihah.

“Alhamdulillah,syukur kepada Allah,Allah masih beri peluang kepada kita untuk duduk dan sama-sama  menghidupkan jiwa dan roh kita.InsyaAllah”

Sebenarnya itu keletihan yang kita cari sendiri!

Berapa kali aku nak kata;
Aku tak faham lagi ke?

Perjalanan dakwah ini memang panjang dan meletihkan.
Kadang-kadang, mungkin aku tersedak-sedak  kehabisan nafas untuk terus menjejakkan kaki hingga sampai ke tujuan.

Kadang-kadang, mungkin aku lemah teramat malah merasa tidak kuat dan hampir tertinggal oleh gerabak dakwah.

Kadang-kadang, mungkin aku tersangkut dan terjatuh disebabkan  kesulitan yang dihadapi dalam perjalanan.
