I can see the rainbow emerging....

Dark clouds parading in my life
Slowly moving away as they
began to emit rays of lights
from the warm gorgeous sun

The sky is clearing
The peace is heard
The war of the jungles are slowly ..
hush..hush..quieten down

I need this...
I need a break

I need to get crazy
I need to let my hair down

I need to be me
Let me be me
And let me be me
please.....dont be anything else but me...

Today I learnt HADITH 19 and 20!

It's been a long time since I updated what I was learning.
And without me realising, we are reaching half of the HADITH compilation. WOW! SO fast?!?!!
Will upload the images soon, insya-Allah...

Okay HADITH 19 is...

----------------------------------------------
ADAB WHEN JESTING
(adab bergurau)

From Ibn Umar, Nabi s.a.w said: "I will not speak except the truth even while jesting"
(At-Tabrani) (SAHIH)


Lessons learnt:
1)Jesting is natural and is permissible in Islam
2) When jesting, ensure that all adabs are met
3)Stay away from lying, slandering and insulting when jesting
4) Adding humour when preaching is among the sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh)

Ustaz said:
-It's normal to joke about. But dont joke about between man and woman and anything that can go beyond boundaries of Islam e.g hugging , holding hands while joking or jesting....

-Dont joke about others weakness or physical outlook such as black skin or race , soft ladylike walk or handicap, fat physical outlook ..or anything that could hurt ...

HADITH 20: Benefit of SAYING SELAWAT UPON PROPHET (pbuh)

From Anas bin Malik, Nabi s.a.w said:
"Whosoever say the selawat upon me, Allah will reward him with 10 blessings, 10 of his sins will be forgiven and he will be exalted by 10 degrees." (al-Bukhari) (SAHIH)

Lessons learnt:
1)Muslims are encouraged to constantly say the selawat upon the Prophet s.a.w.
2)Allah's selawat for his servants is in the form of blessings and goodness for mankind.
3) Saying the selawat upon Prophet Muhammad s.a.w is an ibadah and a remedy for problems faced by mankind.

Ustaz said:
-The sins meant here are little2 sins e.g come late for class,... not those BIG SINS like out of ISLAM, disobedient towards parents, adultery...
-Other umat (before us like Umat Adam a.s -alaihissalam and not like Nabi s.a.w (sallahualaihisalam) did not get the same benefits like us...


BONUS tips:
-Every drop of our Wudhu/ablution water will erase our little sins
-Kafir people or those who commit suicide will not get judgement but will go straight to hell
-Crazy/Mad people will be free from hell-fire
-"MAHA" word cannot be used on humans but it denotes the HIGHEST level which can only be use for GOD.
-Who say the SELAWAT upon the Prophet often >act as a PENAWAR kehidupan (cure of all life ailments/problems)

That's all for today...
(actually I lost my little notebook where I kept my notes, hmm..)

Okay, Im happy that there is a long break of holidays. I need to PUSH myself to finish the Ar-Rahmaan and As-Sajdah....

Suddenly after weeks ..err months actually of not attending the classes, I saw new students. But I think they are old HIFZ students that transfer. I have a new competitor because I heard this young student (perhaps in pre-teens) practising the AR-Rahmaan...suddenly, I felt that I need to press on the gas to accelerate!

Er, I suddenly remembered that Ustaz said last year that , this year, all of us will join the HIFZ competition (cos I saw the Musabaqah tilawah competition poster)..........YIKES!!!

And dont forget before you sleep or anytime of the day, do it NOW!!

"Say the Selawat...." NOW!! Dont wait..say it 10 X then God will do it 100X upon u by bestowing more good things for you...insya-Allah amin.

Perhaps those stern fiery membara feelings of anger will subside if I read this constantly....insya-Allah.
