RECAP PREVIOUS LESSON

By retracing our life, we start with understanding
our basic nature as a human being - having
inherent powers and their potentialities to be
developed.



In our relationship regarding our Education – we
are to encounter, i.e. assisted by our educators with what is referred to as, “knowledge”.



Yet, we are born helpless and have to be cared,
nurtured, to be inculcated with discipline, taught and
developed by a Murabbi’ (EDUCATOR) – the first of
whom are our PARENTS.


TO PROCEED
WE ARE NOW ON THE TOPIC


“Allah witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and
[so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is]
maintaining [creation] in justice (QISTw). There is no
deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
(Qur’an: Aali ‘Imran: 3: 18)

“O MANKIND! Worship (serve) your Sustainer, who has
created you and those who lived before you, so that you
might remain conscious of (and fear) Him (TAQWA)“
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 21)


“ (Allah) Who has made the earth a resting-place for
you and the sky a canopy, and has sent down water
from the sky and thereby brought forth fruits for your
sustenance: do not, then, claim that there is any power
that could rival Allah, when you know [that He is One].”


Imam ‘Ali bin Abi Tolib r.a. said:

“The foremost in religion is the acknowledgement of Him (Allah)”
Mankind’s existence is not accidental as though without purpose,
but humans by nature are capable of knowing meanings and purpose to
his life and his special place in nature.
Unlike animals, man’s reasoning faculty is summoned to reflect upon
the higher philosophical questions as to the meaning and purpose of life
which leads to the cognition of the existence of the Divine.
There is already and innate predisposition in him towards wanting to
serve (worship) someone or something.


Those who claimed to be “atheists” even are in reality serving or
worshipping their own Selves (their desires).

“Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire , and Allah
has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his
hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil ? So who will guide
him after Allah? Then will you not be reminded?”
(Qur’an: Jathiya: 45: 24)

And [mention] when your Lord took from the children
of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and
made them testify of themselves, [saying to them],
"Am I not your Lord?"
They said, "Yes, we have testified."
[This] - lest you should say on the day of
Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
(Qur’an: A’raf: 7: 172)

Faith without obedience is meaningless; and obedience without Faith is
mere rituals and may even lead to hypocrisy.
Together, Faith and Obedience must lead to Righteousness with IHSAN
which essentially focus in our intention to sincerely serve Allah s.w.t.
Thus, in these three aspects can one be said to be true in his submission
to the Will of Allah (as Muslim).

NEVER FORGET YOUR TRUE PURPOSE FOR EXISTING


NEVER FORGET YOUR TRUE PURPOSE FOR EXISTING

“And [tell them that] I have not created the invisible
beings and men to any end other than that they may
[know and] worship Me. [But withal,] no sustenance do
I ever demand of them, nor do I demand that they feed
Me: for, verily, Allah Himself is the Provider of all
sustenance, the Lord of all might, the Eternal!”
(Qur’an: Dzariyat: 51: 56-58)



II-MAN



Definition of iiman :

“Utterance with the tongue (speech);
affirmation with the heart/mind (conviction);
and manifesting through practice (actions).”



SIL-MI - KAAFAH


“O you who have attained to faith! Surrender yourselves wholly
unto Allah, and follow not Satan's footsteps, for, verily, he is your
open foe.“
(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2-208)

AL-IHSAN


 His reply to the question “what is AL-IHSAN ?”, he said :


 His reply to the question “what is AL-IHSAN ?”, he said :

“Al- Ihsan (righteousness or best conduct) is that you
worship (serve) Allah as though you are seeing Him;
while you see Him not, yet truly He sees you”
(Hadith reported by Muslim)


 It is indeed amazing that IHSAN- “righteousness or best conduct”
has been linked by the Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. to our
consciousness or awareness of Allah SWT. in our doing a good
deed.

 This therefore distinguishes a good deed performed by a believer
whose motivation is in ‘obedience to Allah’ from deeds
performed for other reasons (even if they are similar and generally
judged as a good deeds).


 And regarding deeds or any act of devotion, he said:

“Verily, action is by intention; and verily the worth (merit) of
that action is (to be measured) in accordance
with what is intended ... ”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary & Muslim)


“ ... Thus he who migrates for the sake of Allah and His Messenger,
then his migration is for Allah and His Messenger. And he who
migrates seeking to gain worldly benefits or for the sake of
marrying a woman, then his migration is for that which
he has intended.”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary & Muslim)

“Verily, Allah does not look at your outward form
(appearance) nor at your wealth, but He, verily will
look into (what is in) our hearts and deeds.”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary and Muslim)

STRIVE TO BE TRUE AND SINCERE TOWARDS ALLAH S.W.T. :

“And withal, they were not enjoined aught but that they should
(serve) worship Allah, sincere in their faith in Him alone, turning
away from all that is false; and that they should be constant in
prayer; and that they should spend in charity: for this is a moral law
endowed with ever-true soundness and clarity.”

“Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except
Me, so worship Me and establish prayer
(SWOLAH) for My remembrance (LI-DZIKRI).”
(Qur’an: TaHa: 20: 14)


“And establish Regular Prayer (SWOLAH) : for Prayer restrains
from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah
(DZIKRULLAH) is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt.”
(Qur’an: Ankabut: 29: 45)

“And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and
in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings
and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.
Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented
by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and
to Him they prostrate.”
(Qur’an: A’-raf: 7: 205-206)


“And whoever is blinded (negligent) from remembrance
of the Most Merciful (DZIKRIR-RAH-MAAN) - We appoint
for him a devil, and he is to him a companion (QOREEN).
And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of
guidance] while they think that they are [rightly]
guided.”
(Qur’an: Zukhruf: 43: 36-37)


“O you who have believed, (UDZ-KURULLAAH)
remember Allah with much remembrance
(DZIKRAN-KA-TSIIRA). And exalt (glorify) Him
morning and afternoon. It is He who confers
blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do
so] that He may bring you out from darkness into
the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.”
(Qur’an: Ahzab: 33: 41-43)


“Whoever do not engage much in the remembrance of Allah,
certainly becomes free from the bind of the Faith (AL-IIMAN).”
(Hadith reported by Tabarany in “al-Ausath”)


“And be not like those who forgot Allah, so
He made them forget themselves. Those are
the defiantly disobedient (FASIQUN).”
(Qur’an: Hashr: 59: 19)


“So remember Me; I will remember you. And
be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.”


“Satan has overcome them and made them forget the
remembrance of Allah. Those are the party of Satan.
Unquestionably, the party of Satan - they will be the losers.”
(Qur’an: Mujadila: 58: 19)

“Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is
deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand
lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not
remembering Allah except a little,”
(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4: 142)

Generally, “Remembering Allah by invoking the Arabic phrases of
exalting His Holiness (TASBIH), His praises (TAHMID), attesting to His
Absolute Oneness (TAHLIL), His glorification (TAKBIR), our reliance only
upon Allah (HASBIYALLAH), our utter helplessness except with the
Allah (HAUQALAH), supplication (DU’A), etc.”
Reciting from the Qur’an, or the mere verbalization of phrases or
chanting in Arabic as taught from the Qur’an and As-Sunnah, qualifies
as “DZIKRULLAH - BIL-LISAAN) even when one has not yet understood
its meanings. And to know and internalizing its profound meaning
would even be better.

Also included in this “Remembrance of Allah” are every deeds of
Obedience (TA-’AH) ; sitting (being in presence) in the gatherings where
the knowledge of Islam is taught, preached, shared, discussed, recalled,
Studied, or recited from text, etc.(MAJLIS -AL-’ILM); circles where
invocations of Allah’s names are done (MAJLIS WIRD-AURAD); etc.


“NOW THOSE who are bent on denying the truth [of the
Prophet's message] say, "Why has no miraculous sign ever
been bestowed upon him from on high by his Sustainer?"
Say: "Behold, Allah lets go astray him who wills [to go
astray], just as He guides unto Himself all who turn unto Him
- those who believe, and whose hearts find their rest in the
remembrance of Allah - for, verily, in the remembrance of
Allah [men's] hearts do find their rest-:,”
(Qur’an: Ra’-du: 13: 27-28)


“The parable (likeness) of one who remembers his Lord
from the one who does not remember Him, is the like
comparing the one living from the one who is dead .”
(Hadith reported by Bukhary)


“When my servant remembers Me in his self (alone or secretly), I
will remember him in Myself. And when he remembers (and extol
the remembrance) Me in the presence of gathering (people), I will
remember (and extol my remembrance of) him in the presence of
a better gathering.”

“Allah Most Exalted, said ‘I am how my servant thinks of Me;
and I am with him whenever he remembers Me.”


“Whenever any of you sees a garden (from the Garden of) Paradise, tie
up your steed (enter it and attend to its gathering).” He was then
asked: O messenger of Allah, what is this ‘Garden of Paradise’?, he
s.a,w, then replied: “KHIL-QUDZ-DZIKR – Gathering circle engaged in
the Remembrance (of Allah)”
(Hadith reported by Tirmidzi)
