He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman
who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers:

"Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl" The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!" "Oh ,then it will say

An Imam was selling his horse in the market. An interested buyer came to him and requested if he could get a
test drive. The Imam told the man that this horse is unique. In order to make it walk, you have to say Subhanallah.
To make it run, you have to say Alhamdulillah and to make it stop, you have to say Allahu Akbar. The man sat on
the horse and said Subhanallah. The horse started to walk. Then he said Alhamdulillah and it started to run. He
kept saying Alhamdulillah and the horse started running faster and faster. All of a sudden the man noticed that
the horse is running towards the edge of the hill that he was riding on. Being overly fearful, he forgot how to stop
the horse. He kept saying all these words out of confusion. When the horse was just near the edge, he
remembered Allahu Akbar and said it out loud. The horse stopped just one step away from the edge. The man
took a deep breath, looked up towards the sky and said Alhamdulillah!

The Perfect Equilibrium in the Universe

He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any discrepancy in the creation of the
All-Merciful. Look again-do you see any gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you
dazzled and exhausted! (Qur'an, 67:3-4)

The billions of stars and galaxies in the universe move in perfect equilibrium in the paths set out for them. Stars,
planets and satellites rotate not only around their own axes but also together with the systems of which they are
an integral part. Sometimes, galaxies containing 200-300 billion stars move across each others' paths. Yet
amazingly, no collisions take place that might damage the great order in the universe. This miracle is something
over which all of us should reflect.

In the universe, the concept of speed assumes giant dimensions when compared to earthly measurements.
Stars, planets, galaxies and conglomerations of galaxies-whose numerical properties can only be conceived by
mathematicians-weigh billions or trillions of tons, and move through space at extraordinary speeds.

For example, the Earth rotates at 1,670 kmph. If we consider that the fastest-moving bullet today possesses an
average speed of 1,800 kmph, we can see how fast the Earth is moving, despite its enormous size and mass.
The speed of the Earth as it orbits the Sun is some 60 times faster than a bullet: 108,000 kmph. If we were able
to construct a vehicle capable of moving at that speed, it would be able to circumnavigate the Earth in 22 minutes.
These figures apply only to the Earth.

Those for the Solar System are even more fascinating. The speed of that system is such as to exceed the bounds
of reason: The larger the systems in the universe, the greater their speed. The Solar System's speed of orbit around
the centre of the galaxy is 720,000 kmph. The Milky Way, with its 200 billion or so stars, moves through space at
950,000 kmph.

There is no doubt that there is a very high risk of collisions in such a complicated and fast-moving system. Yet
nothing of the sort actually happens and we continue with our lives in complete safety. That is because everything
in the universe functions according to the flawless equilibrium set out by Allah. It is for this reason that, as stated
in the verse, there is no "discrepancy" in the system.

Eidul Fitr Mubarak, 1429

I'm not Newton

3 scientists namely Einstein, Newton and Pascal decide to play hide-n-seek.........Unfortunately Einstein is the
one who has the den...........He is supposed to count up to 100...and then start searching.....
Pascal starts to hide.

Newton just draws a square of 1 meter and stands in it right in front of Einstein...........

Einstein's counting 1,2,3......97,98,99.....100........ He opens his eyes and finds Newton standing in front.....
Einstein says "Newton's out..Newton's....out....."

Newton denies and says i am not out........ He claims that he is not Newton......

Pascal came out to see how he proves that he is not Newton..........
Newton says "I am standing in a square of area 1m squared..... That makes me Newton per meter squared......
since one Newton per meter squared is one Pascal, I'm Pascal.

Therefore Pascal is OUT...........!

Can you retire?

Only 5% of Malaysian are prepared for retirement. Based on EPF’s 2005 annual report, about 90%
of EPF contributors have less than RM100,000 in their account – not enough to see them through
20 years past retirement.

In 1981, when Azman graduated, he got a job in KL which paid him RM1,800 a month. He bought an
imported Mazda at RM17,000 and months later he put down money on a RM78, 000 single-storey
terrace house.

Today, 25 years later, Azman's daughter has just finished university. Her starting pay is RM1,800,
just like her father's two and a half decades ago.

But unlike her father's time, imported cars cost over RM100,000 today. So Latifah has opted to buy
a Proton for RM45,000 (more than double what her dad paid for his first car).

While her father could afford to buy a house early in his career, Latifah can't. Houses in KL these days
cost at least RM200,000, so she has to work for a few years first before she can own one.

Compared to 25 years ago, the prices of goods, food, petrol and electricity have all gone up.
Understandably, it's an uphill task for Latifah to save on her RM1,800 salaries, since the purchasing
power of her salary is much lower than her father's back in the 1980s.

It is a fact that wages have not moved in tandem with the rise of the cost of living and inflation.
That trend is expected to continue.

Today, three meals cost you RM20 but in 20 years time – with an inflation rate of 6% a year –
you will need RM64 per day for the three meals, estimates financial consultant Hazel Ong Archibald
of CIMB Wealth Advisors (see Chart above).

So while the RM500,000 in your EPF or bank account at retirement might look good on paper, she
says, if you do not invest that money to make it grow at a rate higher than the inflation rate, 20 years
later, it would be worth only RM145,053 in purchasing power!

“People are living longer, life expectancy for women is 76 years. For men it's 72. With this kind of
longevity, people have got more than 20 years after retirement.” she says.

People are marrying later too, points out Ong.

This means they are having children later in life. If a person has a kid at the age of 35 and retires at 55,
the odds are that his child at 20 would probably still be at university or college and his education
require financing.

Assuming that one can live on RM1,000 a month, to survive for 25 years, one would still need a
substantial RM300,000 and for 35 years, RM420,000.

“When you are in your late 40s, you should be winding down and not committing to high expenses to buy
big things,” she says.

Engineer and Management

A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended
a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I
don't know where I am."

The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're
between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "Everything you told me is, technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of
your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've
delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did
you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are
due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect
people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before
we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault. ----------.Good day"

Bible and Terrorism

(by Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi)

It is important that we study the religious texts in their proper context. When these texts are not read in their
proper textual and historical contexts they are manipulated and distorted. It is true that some Muslims manipulate
some verses from the Holy Quran for their own goals.

But this is not only with Islamic texts, it is also true with the texts of other religions. I can quote dozens of verses
from the Bible which seem very violent, if taken out from their historical context. These Biblical texts have been
used by many violent Jewish and Christian groups. Crusaders used them against Muslims and Jews. Nazis used
them against Jews. Recently Serbian Christians used them against Bosnian Muslims. Zionists are using them
regularly against Palestinians. Let me mention just a few verses from the Old Testament and New Testament and
tell me what do you say about them:

“When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many
nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and
the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you. And when the LORD your God delivers
them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them
and show no favor to them." (Deutronomy 7:1-2)

“When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. If it agrees to make peace with you
and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you.
However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. When the
LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword. Only the
women and the children and the animals and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourself;
and you shall use the spoil of your enemies which the LORD your God has given you… Only in the cities of these
peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes."
(Deuteronomy 20:10-17)

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all
the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves." (Numbers 31:17-18)

Even in the New Testament we read the following statements attributed to Jesus saying to his disciples:

“I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does
have shall be taken away. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here
and slay them in my presence." (Luke 19:26-27)

"Do not think that I have come to send peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword. I am sent to
set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in law"
(Matthew 10:34-35)

Muslims believe in all Prophets sent by Allah, and so do not misuse or misinterpret the religious texts of other
faiths in order to defame them. Even in recent times, Muslims have and are facing genocidal campaigns in
Bosnia, Kosova, Chechnia, Kashmir, and Palestine - but they have not questioned Judaism and Christianity.
Such spirit needs to be reciprocated.

Hearing Problem

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing
aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a
better idea about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal
conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so
on until you get a response.

"That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself,
"I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." then in a normal tone he asks,
'Honey, what's for dinner?"
No response. So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats,
"Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and
asks, Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again he gets no response so; He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away.
"Honey, what's for dinner?"
Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her.
"Honey, what's for dinner?" ...."

She replied: “James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!"

Moral of the story:
The problem may not be with the other one as we always think,
could be very much within us...!

$17

There was once a man who was going to travel to a dangerous land. He goes to the house of a
man well known for his honesty. He knocks on the door and tells him: "I'm giving you $1440 to
keep with you as I am traveling to a dangerous place. When I get back, I only want $17 back."
The honest man stood their perplexed but agreed.

The next day, the traveler comes back to the honest man's house and asks him for the $17.
The honest man tells him that he forgot and that he had spent it all. The traveler forgave him
since he knew that this man is honest enough to give it back later.

The next day, the same man travels to the same dangerous place and gives the same honest
man $1440 to keep and at the end of the day, he will take $17 back. The traveler returns from
his travels and asks the honest man for his $17. The honest man replies that he was so
engrossed in having a good time with his friends, that he spent all the money again.
Once again, the traveler forgives him, knowing he didn't do it deliberately.

This same incident starts to happen everyday, whereby the honest man is given $1440 and is
expected to return only $17 but fails to do so.

Later on, his child becomes sick and the doctor giving the treatment tells the honest man that
if he wishes for his child to be looked after, the fee is $1440. The honest man starts to panic
realizing he can't afford $1440. It then struck him that the traveler used to give him that same
amount. He runs to the traveler’s house and asks him in a panic for $1440.

The traveler told him that due to his feeble excuses, he has stopped going to his house as he
has lost faith in his honesty.

The irony is that this story has once been directly relevant to each and every single one of us.

It is quite remarkable that Allah s.w.t. gives us 1440 minutes each day and only specifies 17
minutes of that back in prayer. But due to the ignorance of people and the whisperings of
Shaitaan the accursed, we are blinded towards the minute scale of what we are giving back.
This story points out three things:

1. The importance of Solat and how little we have to give back.
2. The mercy of Allah that he forgives us even after such blunders.
3. The fact that we only realize how important something is (in this case the gift of wealth)
until it is gone.

Kepupusan Mujahid Islam

Assalamulaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu
Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu

Menurut ahli2 falsafah, Globalization, Empiricism, Materialism, Secularism, dan Post-Modernism
semakin menular dlm abad ke-21 ini. Makin hari manusia mengejar untuk kehidupan yang LEBIH
selesa. Adakalanya sanggup mengorbankan agamanya untuk mencari rezeki. Sungguhpun bala
demi bala diturunkan oleh Allah s.w.t., namun kita seolah2 tidak pedulikan kesemua itu dan sering
juga mencari alasan.

Jika dibandingkan dengan Kaum Hawa , Kaum Adam sedang mengalami masalah demi masalah
yang merisaukan Umat Islam. Berhentilah menuding jari. Hisablah diri kita sebelum kita dihisabkan.

Dizaman Rasullullah s.a.w., Kaum Hawa telah diselamatkan daripada terus dihina. Dizaman ini pulak,
Kaum Adam yang sedang dihina (dlm sedar atau tidak). Siapakah yang akan menolong Kaum Adam
sekarang?. Pelbagai tohmahan dilemparkan, pelbagai fitnah diwujudkan, namum MUJAHID ISLAM
mestilah tabahkan diri demi mempertahankan ISLAM yang syumul ini.

Akan tetapi, Apakah punca kepupusan MUJAHID ISLAM ?
Simply to say, ibu bapa , pengaruh rakan sebaya, dan pengaruh barat. Ini kalau soalan SPM bolehla
jawab camtu. Tetapi, sebagai intellectual ISLAM apakah punca sebenar?.

Bapa Perubatan (Ibnu Sina) yang merupakan intellectual Islam telahpun menghafal al-Qur'an ketika
beliau berusia 10 tahun. Jika dibandingkan dengan intellectual Islam dizaman ini, jauh perbezaannya.
Beliau (Ibn Sina) mendalami ilmu perubatan. Tidak ada alasan untuk kita nak berdalih daripada hakikat ini.
Kesemua intellectual-intellectual islam mempunyai latar belakang yang baik baik. Remaja dizaman ini
pulak sedikit sangat yang inginkan suasana seperti dizaman kegemilangan Islam dahulu.

Maka, kalau hendak menghasilkan mujahid islam, perkara yang pertama sekali mesti dibetulkan ialah:-
KAUM HAWA

Statistic Jenayah menunjukkan 35% Kaum Hawa dan 65% Kaum Adam.

Apakah kaitan dengan Kaum Hawa dengan masalah kepupusan Mujahid Islam?.

Dizaman jahiliyyah dulu, perempuan ditanam hidup-hidup, dianggap membawa sial. Pendek kata
perempuan tak guna langsung. Bila Islam datang, barulah perempuan dibebaskan dari belenggu pemikiran
jahilyyah itu.Semakin zaman berubah, kebebasan ini semakin dikembangkan sehinggalah dizaman ini,
perempuanlah segala-galanya. Di Malaysia umpamanya, Universiti2 dibanjiri oleh perempuan - 65% Kaum
Hawa, dan hanya 35% Kaun Adam. Sector economi pula mula dikuasai oleh Kaum Hawa.

Dalam masa yang sama, perlu diingat bahawa, nisbah lelaki kepada perempuan semakin menigkat.

Maka, wujudlah satu phenomena yang bakal mengerunkan mujahid Islam. Wanita mula disanjung,
mula menarik perhatian, dan seterusnya mula menguasai dunia. Yang lemah menjadi mangsa. Maka
berlakulah kemasukan budaya barat. Pelacuran semakin berlelausa, CD-CD lucah dijual secara terang2
dipasar malam, stesen2 radio dan tv sudah semakin bebas untuk melariskan stesen mereka termasuklah
memasukkan budaya2 barat. Chatting sudah menjadi salah satu keperluan harian. Datting tak payah nak
cakaplah, lagi banyak …malah semakin teruk. Bertenet, bergayut, sudah menjadi satu trend kehidupan.

Pendek kata globalisasi menjadikan umat Islam semakin terleka. Jika direnungkan, semua gejala2 yang
disebutkan diatas 80% berPUNCA daripada Kaum Hawa. Kalau dijaga adab-adab, tak wujudlah istilah
bergayut dan berdating ni. Kalau dijaga aurat, tak wujudlah pelacuran dan sebagainya. Kalau didik dengan
betul, tak berlakulah kemasukan budaya budaya barat.

Jadinya, IBU, KAKAK, GURU, dan ISTERI memainkan peranan yang penting dalam menghasilkan mujahid
Islam. Oleh itu, ingatlah wahai Kaum Hawa, kelalaianmu mampu menghancurkan umat islam. Janganlah
kerana kecuaian ini, terpupus Mujahid Islam.


Oleh yang demikian, WAHAI KAUM HAWA:-

1. Jagalah suaramu. Suaramu yang lunak itu mampu meleburkan keimanan Kaum Adam. Kurangkanlah
bercakap dengan Kaum Adam. Kalau perlu sangat pun janganlah lunakkan suaramu.

2. Pergaulanmu yang bebas mampu melalaikan Kaum Adam.

3. Jagalah tingkah-lakumu dikala berdepan dengan Kaum Adam kerana ianya mampu menarik perhatian
baik ianya yang elok mahupun yang tidak elok.

4. Tutuplah aurat mu dengan secukupnya. Pendedahan auratmu mampu merosakkan mujahid Islam.

Ingatlah wahai Kaum Hawa, Islam kini ketandusan Mujahid Islam. Janganlah hanya kerana keasyikkan
dalam mencari HAK WANITA, diabaikan pulak ISLAM yang bersifat syumul ini.
ISLAM IS A COMPREHENSIVE RELIGION……..janganlah kita nak secularkannya.

Al-Quran Surah An-Nur (30-31)

Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad) kepada orang-orang lelaki yang beriman supaya mereka menyekat
pandangan mereka (daripada memandang yang haram) dan memelihara kehormatan mereka. Yang
demikian itu lebih suci bagi mereka; sesungguhnya Allah Amat Mendalam PengetahuanNya tentang
apa yang mereka kerjakan.
Dan katakanlah kepada perempuan-perempuan yang beriman supaya menyekat pandangan mereka
(daripada memandang yang haram) dan memelihara kehormatan mereka dan janganlah mereka
memperlihatkan perhiasan tubuh mereka kecuali yang zahir daripadanya; dan hendaklah mereka menutup
belahan leher bajunya dengan tudung kepala mereka; dan janganlah mereka memperlihatkan perhiasan
tubuh mereka melainkan kepada suami mereka atau bapa mereka atau bapa mertua mereka atau anak-anak
mereka, atau anak-anak tiri mereka atau saudara-saudara mereka atau anak bagi saudara-saudara mereka
yang lelaki atau anak bagi saudara-saudara mereka yang perempuan, atau perempuan-perempuan Islam
atau hamba-hamba mereka atau orang gaji dari orang-orang lelaki yang telah tua dan tidak berkeinginan
kepada perempuan atau kanak-kanak yang belum mengerti lagi tentang aurat perempuan dan janganlah
mereka menghentakkan kaki untuk diketahui orang akan apa yang tersembunyi dari perhiasan mereka
dan bertaubatlah kamu sekalian kepada Allah, wahai orang-orang yang beriman, supaya kamu berjaya".

Kesimpulannya, dalam kita mengharungi kehidupan duniawi ini, ingatlah
"Dunia ini jambatan emas yang menghubungkan duniadengan alam akhirat"
Sentiasalah kita mujahadah, sentiasalah kita muhasabah, sentiasalah pertingkatkan amalan2 kita.

Jadikanlah hari ini lebih baik dari semalam…..

"Like the gunner, you have to take aim if you hope to hit the target".

Rancang dengan apa yang ada ditangan, bukan apa yang diangan-angankan. Binalah cita-cita dan
harapan, bukan mimpi dan igauan. Perancangan perlu diperhati agar tertib rapi dan teliti. Umpama
batu yang teratur menjulang keawan.

Semua yang baik itu datangnya dari allah….Dan yang tidak baik itu datang dari diri saya sendiri…..
Sekian….wabillahitaufiq walhidayah……wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu…..

8 Lessons In Life

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it
was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk
away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what
we've been missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

7. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving
word may heal and bless.

8. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.

Hadis 03

Sahih Bukhari
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri

On 'Id ul Fitr or 'Id ul Adha Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out to the Musalla. After finishing the prayer,
he delivered the sermon and ordered the people to give alms. He said, "O people! Give alms." Then
he went towards the women and said. "O women! Give alms, for I have seen that the majority of the
dwellers of Hell-Fire were you (women)." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the reason
for it?" He replied, "O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not
seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. O women, some of you can lead a
cautious wise man astray." Then he left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Ibn
Masud, came and asked permission to enter It was said, "O Allah's Apostle! It is Zainab." He asked,
'Which Zainab?" The reply was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ub. He said, "Yes, allow her to enter."
And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of Allah! Today you ordered people to give alms
and I had an ornament and intended to give it as alms, but Ibn Masud said that he and his children
deserved it more than anybody else." The Prophet replied, "Ibn Masud had spoken the truth. Your
husband and your children had more right to it than anybody else."

Muhammad p.b.u.h. : Events In The Life

Sense of Hearing

"So We sealed their ears [with sleep] in the cave for a number of years."
(Qur'an, 18:11)

The original Arabic of the phrase "We sealed their ears" in the Qur'an is the verb daraba. This bears the
metaphorical meaning of "We have made them sleep." Used in reference to the ears, daraba means "preventing
the ears from hearing." The fact that only the sense of hearing is mentioned here is very significant.

According to recent scientific discoveries, the ear is the only sensory organ active while a person is sleeping.
This is why we need an alarm clock to wake up. The wisdom of the phrase "We sealed their ears" is, in all
probability, that Allah closed the hearing of the young people in question, for which reason they remained asleep
for many years.

Keta'atan Luar Biasa Kepada Suami

Siapakah sebenarnya wanita yang pertama akan masuk syurga sebelum Sayyidatuna Fatimah binti
Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam?

Dalam sebuah hadis menceritakan, setengah daripada kegemaran Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam
ialah suka bergurau yang sopan untuk memberi pengajaran.

Suatu hari ketika Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam sedang melayani puteri kesayangannya
Sayyidatuna Fatimah, Baginda Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam bersabda, "Wahai anakandaku ! Ketahuilah
olehmu bahawa ada seorang perempuan kebanyakan akan masuk syurga terlebih dahulu daripadamu."

Mendengar kata-kata ayahandanya ini, dengan serta merta berubahlah air muka Sayyidatuna Fatimah, lantas
dia pun bertanya kepada Baginda sambil menangis : "Siapakah perempuan itu wahai ayahanda, macamana
halnya dan bagaimana pula amal ibadatnya sehingga dia terlebih dahulu masuk syurga daripada anakanda ?
Ayahanda ! khabarkanlah di mana dia sekarang, anakanda mahu jumpa dia." Tanya Sayyidatuna Fatimah
ingin tahu.

Lalu Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam menjelaskan : "Dia adalah seorang wanita yang miskin, tinggal di
sebuah kampung kawasan pedalaman hampir Jabal Uhud, kira-kira 3 batu dari Kota Madinah. Nama
Perempuan itu ialah Muthi'ah.

Tanpa membuang masa, setelah mendapat keizinan daripada ayahandanya, Sayyidatuna Fatimah pun keluar
mencari perempuan yang dikatakan oleh Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam itu. Setelah bertanyakan
penduduk setempat, banyak yang tidak tahu dan mengenali perempuan yang bernama Muthi'ah ini. Dia bukan
perempuan yang terkenal. Masing-masing mengatakan tidak pernah mendengar dan tidak mengetahui hal
perempuan ini.

Setelah berbagai usaha mencarinya, dengan izin Allah jua akhirnya berjumpalah Sayyidatuna Fatimah dengan
rumah perempuan yang dimaksudkan itu. Rumah Muthi'ah berada di kawasan pedalaman, jauh daripada orang.
Mungkin sebab itulah susah mencarinya.

Sebaik saja memberi salam dan beberapa kali mengetuk pintu beliau mendapati hanya suara saja kedengaran
menjawab salam dari dalam sedangkan orangnya belum juga muncul. Setelah agak lama Sayyidatuna fatimah
menunggu, penghuni rumah itu pun menunjukkan mukanya melalui jendela, sambil bertanya siapakah gerangan
di luar dan apakah hajat kedatangannya tanpa mempelawa dan menjemput tetamunya itu masuk. Mereka hanya
bercakap melalui jendela sahaja.

Sayyidatuna Fatimah memperkenalkan dirinya : "Saya Sayyidatuna Fatimah binti Rasulullah, datang kemari
kerana hendak berjumpa dan berkenalan dengan kamu." Mendengar tetamu yang datang itu ialah anakanda
Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam, maka perempuan itu menjawab : "Terima kasihlah kamu datang ke
rumah saya, tetapi saya tidak dapat membenarkan kamu masuk kerana suami saya tidak ada di rumah. Nanti
saya minta izin dulu apabila dia balik dari bekerja. Sila datang esok hari sajalah."

Dengan langkah yang amat berat sekali Sayyidatuna Fatimah pun pulang dengan perasaan yang sangat hampa
kerana tidak dapat masuk dan berbual panjang dengan perempuan itu untuk mencungkil rahsia amalan-
amalannya. Keesokan harinya, Sayyidatuna Fatimah datang lagi bersama-sama anaknya Hasan. Sebaik sahaja
sampai dia memberi salam dan perempuan itu pun terus membuka pintu kerana dia sudah mengetahui tetamu
yang datang itu ialah Sayyidatuna Fatimah. Apabila hendak mempersilakan masuk, tiba-tiba dia terlihat ada
seorang budak bersama-sama Sayyidatuna Fatimah lalu dia bertanya : " Fatimah, ini siapa ?"
"Ini anak saya, Hasan," sahut Sayyidatuna Fatimah. Perempuan itu pun berkata : " Saya dukacita Fatimah,
kerana saya belum minta izin dari suami saya, yang dibenarkan hanyalah Sayyidatuna Fatimah seorang sahaja,
saya kenalah minta izin dahulu dari suami lagi, silalah datang esok hari saja."

Sayyidatuna Fatimah jadi serba salah. Hendak balik jauh, hendak ditinggalkan anaknya diluar, takut dia
menangis. Hendak dibawa masuk belum mendapat keizinan. Akhirnya setelah berfikir panjang lebar, dia pun
ambil keputusan untuk balik saja.

Keesokan harinya, Sayyidatuna Fatimah datang pula dengan membawa kedua-dua anaknya iaitu Hasan dan
Husin. Setelah memberi salam, mereka segera disambut oleh penghuni rumah itu.

"Itu Fatimah dengan Hasan ke?" Tanya perempuan itu minta kepastian. Jawab Sayyidatuna Fatimah : "Tidak,
kami datang bertiga kerana anak saya yang satu ini (Husin) mahu ikut juga." Apabila jendela dibuka perempuan
itu mendapati ternyata benarlah Sayyidatina Fatimah membawa kedua-dua orang anaknya Hasan bin Husin.

"Fatimah, saya rasa dukacita lagi kerana budak yang satu ini (Husin) belum saya minta izin dari suami saya,
harap maaf, sila datang esok hari sajalah," tegas perempuan itu. Mendengarkan kata-kata itu, Sayyidatuna
Fatimah tersipu-sipu menyahut: "Baiklah kalau begitu esok saya datang lagi kemari."

Dalam perjalanan pulang ke rumahnya, hatinya berkata-kata : "Heh, perempuan ini takut sangat akan suaminya,
sehingga perkara yang sekecil begini pun dia tidak berani melakukannya. Pada hal jika dia benarkan aku masuk,
takkanlah suaminya marah. Tak usahlah pandang aku ini siapa, anak siapa dan dua budak ini cucu siapa,
pandanglah (hormatilah) aku ini sebagai tetamu yang datang dari jauh saja sudahlah, " bisik hatinya kesal.

Dalam pada itu sebaik sahaja suaminya pulang, perempuan itu pun memberitahu tentang budak yang satu lagi ini.
Suaminya terkejut dan hairan sambil berkata : "Kenapa engkau tergamak begitu sekali. Bukankah Sayyidatuna
Fatimah itu puteri Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) dan dua orang anaknya itu adalah cucu Baginda. Lebih
daripada itu pun engkau patut benarkan kerana keselamatan kita berdua kelak bergantung kepada keredhaannya
(Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam). Jangan sekali-kali engkau buat seperti itu lagi. Jika mereka datang lagi ke
mari dengan membawa apa pun dan siapa pun, terimalah dengan baik, dan engkau hormatilah mereka semua
sebagaimana yang patut bagi darjat mereka."

Sahut perempuan itu : "Baiklah, tetapi ampunkanlah kesalahan saya kerana saya mengerti bahawa apa yang
saya tahu keselamatan diri saya juga bergantung pada keredhaan suamiku. Oleh itu, saya tidak berani membuat
perkara yang akan membawa kemarahan atau menyakiti hati suamiku."
"Terima kasih," sahut suaminya. "Tapi takkanlah pula sampai engkau tidak menerima tetamu perempuan
melainkan dengan izin aku, kerana menghormati tetamu perempuan itu wajib pada adat dan agama kita."

Pada hari berikutnya, Sayyidatuna Fatimah pun datang sebagaimana yang dijanjikan dengan membawa dua
orang puteranya itu. Setelah dijemput masuk dan dijamu dengan sedikit buah kurma dan air secara ala kadar
mengikut adat waktu itu, mereka pun berkenalanlah serta memulakan perbualan.

Pertanyaan Sayyidatuna Fatimah banyak berkisar mengenai rahsia amal ibadat yang menjadi penyebab Muthi'ah
menjadi wanita pertama masuk syurga menurut ayahandanya. Setelah memperkenalkan dirinya, Muthi'ah
menjawab semua pertanyaan Sayyidatuna Fatimah dengan ikhlas. Katanya: "Tingkah laku saya sebenarnya biasa
sahaja tidak ada yang istimewa, amal ibadat pun biasa saja malah Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam lebih
mengetahui akan segalanya, dan saya hanya menuruti apa yang dianjurkan oleh Baginda dalam hal kewajiban
saya sebagai isteri. Antaranya:

- Saya tidak boleh meninggalkan rumah jika suami saya keluar bekerja
- Saya tidak boleh menerima tamu (terutama lelaki) jika tidak ada keizinan dari suami
- Saya tidak akan berkeluh-kesah jika suami tidak mempunyai harta
- Saya berusaha agar suami saya senang dan cinta kepada saya
- Saya tidak cepat-cepat cemburu
- Saling mengerti dan menghargai antara kami berdua

Soal berhias dan berdandan, menurut Mith'iah dia hanya mengutamakan kecantikannya untuk suaminya yang
tersayang saja, bukan untuk ditonton dan diperagakan kepada orang lain.

Setengah riwayat menyatakan Muth'iah mundar mandir berjalan ke pintu rumahnya sambil memandang ke jalan
seolah-olah sedang menantikan kedatangan seseorang. Dia seolah-olah tidak begitu mempedulikan Sayyidatuna
Fatimah. Di tangannya terdapat tongkat dan sebuah bekas berisi air, manakala tangan sebelah lagi mengangkat
hujung kainnya sehingga menampakkan betis dan sedikit bahagian pehanya serta mukanya manis dengan
senyuman.

Melihat keadaan hal Muth'iah yang agak aneh itu, Sayyidatuna Fatimah merasa gelisah kerana dia anak
beranak tidak dipedulikan dan kurang mendapat layanan. Lantas Sayyidatuna Fatimah bertanya: "Kenapa jadi
begini?" Sahut Muth'iah : "Fatimah, harap maafkan saya kerana saya sedang menantikan suami saya yang akan
pulang dari kerja."

"Buat apa dengan bekas air itu?" Tanya Sayyidatuna Fatimah. Jawab Muthi'ah jujur : "Kiranya suami saya
dahaga pada ketika dia balik dari kerja, saya akan segera menghulur air ini kepadanya supaya tidak terlambat.
Jika terlambat nanti dia akan marah kepada saya."

Sayyidatuna Fatimah bertanya lagi : "Buat apa dengan rotan ini ?" Jawab Muthi'ah : "Jika suami saya marah atau
kurang layanan dari saya, mudahlah dia memukul saya dengan rotan ini."

Kemudian Sayyidatuna Fatimah bertanya pula : "Kenapa pula engkau selak kain engkau sehingga
menampakkan peha, bukankah itu tidak elok dan haram ?" Maka Muthi'ah menjawab : "Jika dia berkehendakkan
saya, lalu dia pandang saya begini tentulah akan menambahkan nafsu syahwatnya dan memudahkan akan
maksud hajatnya itu."

Sebaik saja habis berkenalan dan berbual dengan Muthi'ah, Sayyidatuna Fatimah termenung sejenak lalu berkata
di dalam hatinya : "Jika beginilah kelakukan dan perangainya terhadap suaminya, tidak dapatlah aku mengikutnya.
Wajarlah menurut ayahandaku dia terlebih dahulu masuk syurga daripada aku. Ternyata benarlah bahawa
keselamatan wanita yang telah bersuami itu bergantung kepada ketaatan dan keredhaan suami terhadapnya."
Fatimah minta diri.

Dia terus pulang mengadap ayahandanya dan menceritakan segala apa yang berlaku.
"Wahai anakandaku, itulah rahsianya mengapa Muthi'ah wanita pertama masuk syurga." Kata Baginda kepada
Siti Fatimah. Di dalam keadaan muram dan seakan-akan merajuk dia berkata : "Tetapi anakanda tidak dapat
meniru perangai dan amalan Muthi'ah."

Melihat telatah dan rintihan puterinya itu, Rasululah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam tersenyum sambil bersabda :
"Wahai anakandaku, janganlah anakanda susah hati, perempuan yang anakanda jumpa itu (Muthi'ah) ialah
perempuan yang akan memimpin dan memegang tali tunggangan anakanda tatkala anakanda masuk syurga nanti.
Jadi dialah yang akan masuk terlebih dahulu daripada anakanda." Setelah mendengar penjelasan ayahandanya itu,
barulah nampak Sayyidatuna Fatimah mulai gembira dan tersenyum.

Begitulah ganjaran yang Allah Subhanahu Wataala berikan kepada Muthi'ah, semoga amalan yang dilakukannya
itu sedikit sebanyak akan menjadi panduan dan dorongan kepada wanita-wanita sekarang terutama bagi mereka
yang sudah berumahtangga.

Love your Wife until Jannah

By Sheikh Abdullah Adhami

By getting married you are not just getting a wife; you are getting your whole world. From now until the

rest of your days your wife will be your partner, your companion, and your best friend.

She will share your moments, your days, and your years. She will share your joys and sorrows, your
successes and failures, your dreams and your fears. When you are ill, she will take the best care of you;
when you need help, she will do all she can for you. When you have a secret, she will keep it when you
need advice, she will give you the best advice. The best description that I personally have ever read
describing the closeness of the spouses to each other is the Qur'anic verse which says:

"They are your garments and you are their garments" (Surah Al Baqarah 2:187)

Indeed, spouses are like garments to each other because they provide one another with the protection,
the comfort, the cover, the support, and the adornment that garments provide to humans. Just imagine
a journey in the winter of Alaska without garments! Our spouses provide us with the same level of comfort,
protection, cover, and support in the journey of our lives on this earth as garments would do in the Alaskan
journey.

The relationship between the spouses is the most amazing of all human relations: the amount of love and
affection, intimacy and closeness, mercy and compassion, peace and tranquility that fills the hearts of the
spouses is simply inexplicable. The only rational explanation for these most amazing of all human feelings
is that: it is an act of Allah (s.w.t),

"And Allah has made for you Mates (and Companions of your own nature..."
(Surah Al Nahl 16:72)

Only the Almighty Allah s.w.t., in His Infinite Power, Boundless Mercy, and Great Wisdom can create and
ingrain these amazing and blessed feelings in the hearts of the spouses. In fact Allah s.w.t., is reminding
those who search for His signs in the universe that these feelings in the hearts of the spouses are among
the signs that should guide humans to His existence as He says in the Qur'an:

"And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may
dwell in tranquility with them and He has put love and mercy between your hearts:verily in that
are signs for those who reflect." (Surah Al Rum 30:21)

But Allah s.w.t., knows that the human heart is not a static entity, it is sometimes weak and at times
dynamic. Feelings can and do change with time. Love may wither and fade away. The marital bond might
weaken if not properly cared for. Happiness in marriage cannot be taken for granted; continuous happiness
requires constant giving from both sides. For the tree of marital love to remain alive and keep growing, the
soil has to be sustained, maintained, watered and nurtured. Remember that you will be rewarded by Allah
s.w.t., for any emotions you show to your wife as the Prophet(s) said :

"One would be rewarded for anything that he does seeking the pleasure of Allah even the food
that he puts in the mouth of his wife".

Never underestimate the importance of seemingly little things as putting food in your wife's mouth, opening
the car's door for her, etc. Remember that the Prophet(s) used to extend his knee to his wife to assist her
up to ride the camel.

Try to always find some time for both of you to pray together. Strengthening the bond between you and
Allah s.w.t., is the best guarantee that your own marital bond would always remain strong. Having peace
with Allah s.w.t., will always result in having more peace at home. Remember that the Prophet(s) gave glad
tidings for those couples that wake up at night to pray together. The Prophet(s) even urged the spouse who
rises up first to wake the other spouse up even by throwing cold water on his/her face.

Always try your best to be good to your wife by words and by deeds. Talk to her, smile to her, seek her
advice, ask for her opinion, spend quality time with her and always remember that the Prophet(s) said:

"The best of you are those who are best to their wives"

Finally, it is common that spouses vow to love and honor their spouses until death do them part. I do believe
that this vow is good or even great, but not enough! It is not enough that you love your wife. You have to love
what she loves as well. Her family, her loved ones must also become your loved ones.
