Day of Judgement 1


INTRODUCTION (1)

In Islam, Yawm al-Qiyāmah "the Day of Resurrection" (Arabic: يوم القيامة‎) or Yawm ad-Din "the Day of Judgment" (Arabic: يوم الدين‎) is believed to be God's final assessment of humanity. al-Qiyama is also the name of the 75th Sura of the Qur'an.' The sequence of events (according to the most commonly-held belief) is: the annihilation of all creatures, resurrection of the body, and the judgment of all sentient creatures. The exact time when these events will occur is unknown, however there are said to be major[1] and minor signs[2] which, according to Islam, are to occur near the time of Qiyamah (End time).
Final judgment forms one of the main themes of the Qur'an. Many Qur'anic verses, especially the earlier ones, are dominated by the idea of the nearing of the day of resurrection.[3][4]

.Day of Judgement ...2


INTRODUCTION (2)

Our final destination is The Aakhirah, and we have time to accumulate ibadah(worship Allah SWT) and do good deeds only till we die. And we don't even have a known prescribed time for this, unlike the example above! It can be anytime, anywhere. If we are consistent in the remembrance of Allah, we will be prepared when Malak-ul-Mauth approaches, and it is time for us to leave. (May Allah Bless us to die in a high state of emaan, aameen) We should use our provisions that Allah has blessed us with, in a way that will please Him, all the while staying on the right path, without going farther from our road to our final abode, Jannah.
Allah SWT says in the Qur'an:
“Verily! It is Allah Who causes the seed grain and the fruit stone to split and sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead, and it is He Who brings forth the dead from the living. Such is Allah, then how are you deluded away from the truth.” (Surah Al-An'am: 95)

Post 10: Obstacles make us Stronger

One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seems to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could not go any further. So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shrivelled wings.

The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm. Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shrivelled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was the the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If Allah allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.

3 perkara untuk mendapat 3 perkara

Barangsiapa yang diilhamkan tiga perkara, maka dia akan mendapat tiga perkara:

  1. orang yang diilhamkan untuk berdoa, ianya akan dikabulkan
  2. orang yang ditunjukkan untuk istighfar, dia akan diampunkan
  3. orang yang dianugerahi petunjuk untuk bersyukur, dia akan memperolehi tambahan rezeki.

Post 8: Imam Ghazali

Teka-teki Imam Ghazali rah.a

Suatu hari, Imam Al-Ghazali berkumpul dengan murid-muridnya lalu beliau bertanya (Teka Teki ) :

Imam Ghazali = ” Apakah yang paling dekat dengan diri kita di dunia ini ?

Murid 1 = ” Orang tua “

Murid 2 = ” Guru “

Murid 3 = ” Teman “

Murid 4 = ” Kaum kerabat “

Imam Ghazali = ” Semua jawapan itu benar. Tetapi yang paling dekat dengan kita ialah MATI. Sebab itu janji Allah bahawa setiap yang bernyawa pasti akan mati ( Surah Ali-Imran :185).

Imam Ghazali = ” Apa yang paling jauh dari kita di dunia ini ?”

Murid 1 = ” Negeri Cina “

Murid 2 = ” Bulan “

Murid 3 = ” Matahari “

Murid 4 = ” Bintang-bintang “

Iman Ghazali = ” Semua jawaban itu benar. Tetapi yang paling benar adalah MASA LALU. Bagaimanapun kita, apapun keadaan kita, tetap kita tidak akan dapat kembali ke masa yang lalu. Oleh sebab itu kita harus menjaga hari ini, hari esok dan hari-hari yang akan datang dengan perbuatan yang sesuai dengan ajaran Agama”.

Iman Ghazali = ” Apa yang paling besar didunia ini ?”

Murid 1 = ” Gunung “

Murid 2 = ” Matahari “

Murid 3 = ” Bumi “

Imam Ghazali = ” Semua jawaban itu benar, tapi yang besar sekali adalah HAWA NAFSU (Surah Al A’raf: 179). Maka kita harus hati-hati dengan nafsu kita, jangan sampai nafsu kita membawa ke neraka.”

IMAM GHAZALI” Apa yang paling berat didunia? “

Murid 1 = ” Baja “

Murid 2 = ” Besi “

Murid 3 = ” Gajah “

Imam Ghazali = ” Semua itu benar, tapi yang paling berat adalah MEMEGANG AMANAH (Surah Al-Azab : 72 ). Tumbuh-tumbuhan, binatang, gunung, dan malaikat semua tidak mampu ketika Allah SWT meminta mereka menjadi khalifah pemimpin) di dunia ini. Tetapi manusia dengan sombongnya berebut-rebut menyanggupi permintaan Allah SWT sehingga banyak manusia masuk ke neraka kerana gagal memegang amanah.”

Imam Ghazali = ” Apa yang paling ringan di dunia ini ?”

Murid 1 = ” Kapas”

Murid 2 = ” Angin “

Murid 3 = ” Debu “

Murid 4 = ” Daun-daun”

Imam Ghazali = ” Semua jawaban kamu itu benar, tapi yang paling ringan sekali didunia ini adalah MENINGGALKAN SOLAT . Gara-gara pekerjaan kita atau urusan dunia, kita tinggalkan solat “

Imam Ghazali = ” Apa yang paling tajam sekali di dunia ini? “

Murid- Murid dengan serentak menjawab = ” Pedang “

Imam Ghazali = ” Itu benar, tapi yang paling tajam sekali didunia ini adalah LIDAH MANUSIA. Kerana melalui lidah, manusia dengan mudahnya menyakiti hati dan melukai perasaan saudaranya sendiri “

POst 6: Nilai Dunia

Dari Sahal bin Sa’ad r.a, Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: Seandainya nilai dunia itu setara dengan sebelah sayap nyamuk, niscaya Allah tidak akan memberi minum orang kafir walaupun seteguk air (karena nilai dunia di sisi Allah tidak berharga sama sekali, sehingga orang-orang kafir pun diberi keduniawian)
