Di dunia ini ada pelbagai jenis wanita. Isteri yang baik atau wanita solehah, adalah harta simpanan yang terbaik bagi seorang suami.
Rasulullah Shallallahu’ alaihi Wasallam bersabda, ” Mahukah kamu keberitahu suatu harta simpanan (perhiasan) yang sangat baik? Iaitu wanita solehah, yang apabila kamu melihatnya, ia menyeronokkan. Apabila kamu perintah, dia patuh. Dan apabila ditinggal pergi, dia selalu menjaga diri dan harta suaminya. ” (Riwayat Abu Dawud)
Kalau dilihat dia menyenangkan, itu disebabkan budi yang luhur, pakaian bersih, dandanan yang serasi di hadapan suaminya dan berusaha yang terbaik untuk tampil menarik hanya di depan suami dan anak-anaknya.
Jika diperintahkan, dia akan patuh, menunjukkan ketaatan dan baktinya pada suaminya. Dia ingin selalu memberikan kepuasan bagi suaminya.
Sentiasa memelihara diri dan harta suaminya, menggambarkan betapa besar kekuatan agama dan ketebalan imannya terhadap ALLAH dan Rasul-Nya. Apabila suaminya tidak ada, dia tetap memelihara kehormatan diri dan harta suaminya.
Bila seorang wanita tidak solehah dan mempunyai sifat atau kebiasaan yang buruk, suka menyusahkan suaminya tentulah itu bukan perhiasan bagi seorang suami. Bahkan, boleh jadi suami tidak suka bersamanya, kemudian menceritakannya.
Jika engkau, wahai isteri menginginkan rumah tangga yang bahagia di dunia dan akhirat, buanglah jauh-jauh dari dirimu tujuh sifat tersebut. Bila tidak, engkau celaka di dunia dan akhirat .
Berikut ini tujuh jenis wanita yang sering diceraikan suami.
1. Tidak punya rasa malu . Yang tidak malu melakukan hal-hal yang dilarang ALLAH. Dia jauh dari sifat takwa dan banyak melakukan maksiat.
2. Ausyarah (kotor) iaitu tidak pandai mengatur rumah, malas mengemas diri, dan malas melakukan apa-apa sehingga dirinya, anak-anak dan rumahnya kotor dan tidak menyenangkan.

 Raghad Ebied -

We are all inevitably going to face moments of disappointment in our life – disappointments from work, family, friends, and even ourselves. That’s the very nature of the world we live in – it’s not ideal, it’s not perfect and shortcomings are bound to happen from others and from ourselves.
The question is how do we deal with these disappointments – how do we reconcile our need to have fulfilling jobs and relationships and fulfill our own promises to ourselves when we as well as others are humans who can be weak and forgetful?
How do we forgive when we’re hurt? How do we “forget” when we need to move on? How do we overcome intense feelings of disappointment and sometimes disbelief about what happens around us?
For some people, they indeed feel everything so much more intensely – including joy and sorrow, pain and relief, disappointment and awe. Maybe their tears suddenly start to flow when they see a child crying because they had to say good bye to a loved one or lost something special. Maybe they worry a lot when they hear about family or friends going through a difficult time.
An ability to feel what others feel, to know how others feel, to support others through what they feel. Cherish this blessing. Certainly, do not feel ashamed of it. And use it to bring comfort to others.These are the emotions of compassion, of empathy and of sensitivity to those around you or what some may call the “Highly sensitive person” (HSP), which is actually found in 20% of our human population. Allah has bestowed you with a blessing that you can use to bring comfort to others.
The other side of this blessing though could be your sensitivity to negativity, criticism, and disappointment. Don’t feel guilty about minimizing these situations when you can help it – and if they can’t be minimized because they are a part of your daily life with family or work for example, one can learn how to manage them.

‘Why are you Muslim?’ It may sound like an obvious question, but often many of us don’t have a clear answer to it. I remember being asked this question by my elder brother when I was fourteen years of age, my initial answer was ‘Well, our family is Muslim’, his reply to this made me think, he said, ‘If your family were Hindu or Christian, would you be as well?’. I replied with a strong ‘No, Islam is the truth’, the discussion that followed made me question the basis of my life and changed my life for ever. He triggered me to think about how to prove that Islam is the truth rather than just believing it emotionally or blindly. In fact Allah (swt) has condemned people for imitating their forefathers and adopting their belief without clear evidence.

In the Holy Qur’an, He (swt) says:

“And verily guess is no substitute for the truth.” [TMQ 53:28]

“They have no (certain) knowledge. They follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not (‘Isa).” [TMQ 4:157]

"These are nothing but names which you have devised, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow nothing but conjecture and what their Nafs desire. Even though there has already come to them the Guidance from their Rabb" [TMQ 53:23]

"Do you have Ilm (knowledge) for that which you claim so that you provide us with? You follow nothing but conjecture (Zann)." [TMQ 6:148]

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a., Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud:
"Sesungguhnya pada hari kiamat kelak, Allah akan befirman yang bermaksud: 'Di manakah orang yang saling mencinta kerana-Ku? Pada hari ini Aku akan menaungi mereka di bawah naungan-Ku; pada hari ini tidak ada naungan selain naungan-Ku'" (Riwayat Muslim)

Dari puncak gunung, pandangan matanya melebar ke segenap dataran yang luas terbentang. Dataran yang kaya dengan flora dan fauna anugerah Tuhan. Rongga dadanya segar menghirup udara dari puncak.

Di sudut itu dia memikirkan tentang agama yang disayanginya. Agama yang dianutinya. Memiliki penganut tetapi ramai yang tidak setia. Ramai yang telah lupa. Ramai mengaku masih beriman tetapi terpesong daripada amalan. Jika kita punyai teman, kemudian berlalu pergi dan tidak setia lagi, bagaimanakah perasaan ini? Pasti hati akan bersalut perasaan marah dan sedih. Sedih memikirkan teman tidak setia lagi.

Namun andai kita lupa pada Islam, Allah sesekali tidak akan berasa rugi dan bersedih kerana janji Allah itu pasti. Islam tetap akan tertegak suatu hari nanti biarpun kini, mata ini tidak akan sempat melihat kemilau cahayanya menerangi seluruh alam. Biarpun kini cita-cita itu terasa sukar untuk digapai, pasti Allah menggantikan golongan yang lalai ini dengan golongan yang memiliki hati yang jitu untuk bangkit membawa obor Islam. Golongan ini mencintai Allah dan Allah juga mencintai mereka.

Islam yang indah akan dapat diamalkan sepenuhnya. Dunia ini akan dibanjir kasih sayang kepada Pencipta dan sesama makhluk. Tiada yang menindas dan tiada yang tertindas. Dunia akan dilimpahi rahmat berpanjangan. Tertegaknya hukum Allah menjamin kebahagiaan hidup di dunia dan akhirat kerana Dia tahu segalanya. Kerana Dia yang mencipta kita dan mengatur sistem hidup kita.

Saat itu akan terpadamlah api marak kejahilan yang meratah minda umat Islam. Akan musnahlah kata-kata sinis yang memperlekehkan Islam. Tiada lagi kata-kata nista menghina agama Allah ini. Seluruh alam akan bersatu untuk berlindung di bawah redup kasih-Nya.

Whenever a person faces hardship, it’s easy for him/her to give up and walk away from their challenges or complain and blame those around him/her. They fall into depression, feel sad about their situation and feel powerless. They don’t understand “why this is happening to them” or “what they did to deserve this”. But for a ProductiveMuslim, his/her way of thinking is completely different.
Whenever a ProductiveMuslim faces hardship, he/she takes a step back from their difficult situation and thinks about it from a higher level. They step back from their life with all its worries, anxieties, problems, and thinks about it from an Akhira perspective, then they ask themselves the question: what does this ALL mean when compared to the Hereafter? What does this ALL mean when compared to eternity in Jannah?
One of the main misunderstanding we all have in this life is that if we do good, we should get good in this life and hereafter. This is not entirely true.
This life is not the life we’ll get justice in. If this was the case, there would be no need for a Day of Judgement or Akhira.

"What the *******!"
"Hey you, ******, how are you?" "Where in the *******have you been?"
If you listen to the conversation of the average Muslim youth talking to each other, unfortunately this is what you will hear.......expletives, bad words and cusses. In fact, foul language is often heard as part of their everyday life at school, universities and work place.
What's worse is that they use these words without thinking..... without remorse and without even realizing that these words are obscene, filthy or repulsive.... using 'four letter words' in every sentence and in every conversation.
Using the words 'hell' and calling each other 'dog' and 'gay' like it's nothing.
And these are some of the more 'decent' words.
There are other, much worse words that are totally unmentionable. May Allaah protect us.
These people, like their non-Muslim peers, seem to be completely desensitized to the use of foul and offensive words, including many that make others cringe with shame and embarrassment.
Yet, when you reprimand them for using such language, what do they say?
"O come on! This is how everyone talks!" or "This is how I 'express' myself. or "We don't mean it in a bad way, we're just joking around with each other!"
Subhaan Allaah! Calling each other bad names and using foul language!
Since when did that become a 'joke'? Since when did cussing become part of a Muslim's vocabulary?

Tuntutan al-Quran agar manusia aktif dalam mengharungi kehidupan dunia adalah sesuai dengan status dan fungsinya sebagai manusia. Manusia terdiri daripada roh dan jasad.
Kedua-duanya memerlukan santapan jasmani dan rohani. Di dalam al-Quran manusia dituntut seimbang antara rohani dan jasmani. Dari mana manusia mengetahui Islam mengajarkan bahawa jasmani dan rohani harus seimbang?

Ternyata kata al-hayaat dan al-mamaat di dalam al-Quran yang jumlah hurufnya sama iaitu enam dan ini berulang sama banyak iaitu 145 kali. Jadi ini salah satu bukti bahawa antara rohani dan jasmani diperintahkan agar seimbang.

Jadi salah, jika ditekankan bahawa yang penting adalah solat atau yang penting kerja. Hakikatnya yang betul adalah solat dikerjakan pada waktu solat dan kerja dilakukan pada waktu bekerja. Inilah yang dituntut oleh agama agar manusia menjalani hidupnya secara realistik.

Kejadian manusia yang terindah ini adalah kerana keseimbangan dan kesesuaiannya, sebab itu Islam sahajalah satu-satunya agama yang penuh perseimbangan yang dapat membimbing manusia menuju kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat.

Nabi s.a.w bersabda yang bermaksud: Bukan yang terbaik di antara kamu yang mendahulukan akhirat sementara dunia ditinggalkan atau mendahulukan dunia sementara akhirat ditinggalkan. Yang terbaik di antara kamu adalah yang menghimpun keduanya.

Pemahaman yang tidak komprehensif terhadap ayat-ayat dan hadis-hadis telah mendorong sebahagian orang Islam untuk hidup secara zuhud, menahan diri dari hal-hal yang bersifat duniawi. Sebaliknya mendorong mereka untuk hidup secara solih.

Bahkan ada yang hidup secara ekstrem dan berkelakuan seperti rahib dengan menolak segala kemewahan dan kesenangan hidup, tidak mempedulikan makan minum, berpakaian seadanya, tidak memikirkan harta kekayaan dan sebagainya, kerana takut terpedaya oleh pesona dunia.

Demikian tanpa sedar manusia yang diperdaya oleh syaitan menyimpang dari as-Shiraath al-Mustaqim dan menbawa kepada sikap ekstrem yang tidak sesuai dengan agama Islam yang sebenar.

- By Yasir Qadhi -


Many people mistakenly assume that true wealth and real treasure is that of money. It is indeed true that wealth is a great blessing from Allāh which He bestows upon His servants. And the one who earns it purely, and spends it properly, and gives it to those that deserve it, without a doubt earns a great reward from Allāh.
But at the same time, wealth is not the greatest blessing that can be given to mankind. Furthermore, no matter how much wealth a person has, eventually it will leave him, and pass on into the hands of others.
The Prophet (ṣallallāhu `alayhi wa-sallam) reminded us of this when he asked the Companions, "Who amongst you loves the money of his inheritors more than his own money?" [1]
They replied, "O Messenger of Allāh! There is no one of us except that he loves his own money more than he loves the money of his inheritors." So the Prophet (ṣallallāhu `alayhi wa-sallam) replied, "But his money is only that which he sent forth, and the money of his inheritors is what he left behind." [2]
So in reality most of the money that a person owns will eventually end up in the hands of his or her inheritors, and only that part which was spent for the sake of Allāh will actually benefit one in the hereafter.
Allāh emphasizes this point in the Qur'ān with the teaching that,
"Wealth and children are the adornments of the life of this world. But the permanent righteous deeds are better in your Lord's Sight (to attain) rewards, and better in respect of hope."[Sūrah al-Kahf, 46]
So money and children can be a comfort and a pleasure of this life, but righteous deeds are what will remain permanently — not one's family or wealth. It is these righteous deeds which will bring a person Allāh's Pleasure, and through which a person can hope for an ever-lasting reward in the Hereafter. The Qur'ān clearly states,
"And it is not your wealth, nor your children that bring you nearer to Us, but only he (will please Us) who believes, and does righteous deeds; for such (people), there will be a double reward for what they did, and they will reside in the high dwellings (of Paradise), in peace and security." [Sūrah Sabā', 37]
The great student of Ibn `Abbās (raḍiyallāhu anhu), Qatādah as-Sadūsī, said commenting on this verse,
"So do not judge people based on the amount of money and children they have! Even a disbeliever might be given money, whereas the Muslim has been withheld from it. [3]
In a well-known and oft-repeated parable, the Qur'ān compares the life of this world to a crop that flourishes after rainfall, only to wither up and shrivel in a short period of time. The Qur'ān states,
"Realize that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children. It is like the vegetation (that sprouts forth) after rain, whose growth is pleasing to the disbeliever. Soon it dries up, and you see it turning yellow, then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers), and (there is) forgiveness from Allāh and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers). And indeed, the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment." [Sūrah Ḥadīd, 20]

Muslimah itu seorang wanita islam yang berperibadi islam. Solehah pula, seorang wanita islam yang berperibadi islam dan beristiqomah dengan keperibadiannya, hanya menurut pandanganku sahaja. Jadi, jika ingin menjadi solehah, wajiblah menjadi muslimah terlebih dahulu.
Perisai itu, ianya besar dan melindungi hadapan dan belakang. Bukan hanya pahlawan pedang dalam sebuah peperangan sahaja mempunyai perisai. Tapi perisai ini akan sentiasa ada pada seorang muslimah yang solehah. Perisai ini bisa ditembusi panahan panah juga acuan peluru, tapi itu bukan bererti ia lemah atau tidak boleh melindungi. Kuasanya lebih hebat, mampu mematahkan niat yang jahat terhadap pemakainya.
Apabila perisai ini dibawa bersama seorang muslimah, ia tidak kelihatan seperti pahlawan perang bahkan muslimah ini kelihatan lebih 'sweet' dari wanita-wanita 'hot' yang tidak menutup aurat di luar sana. Kerana neraka itu 'hot', syurga itu 'sweet'.
Perisai, itulah tudung labuh. Semakin labuh tudungnya, semakin segan orang sekeliling terhadap pemakainya. Bukan mengharap penghormatan orang lain, cuma ingin memberitahu"aku seorang muslimah".
Dengan memakainya, muslimah itu sendiri terasa bahawa dia membawa amanah perisai itu. Menjaga setip gerak geri, itulah amanahnya. "sedarlah muslimah yang berperisai. Anda membawa amanah tudung labuh. Apabila ia melindungimu, jangan engkau membolosinya dengan gerak gerimu yang melampaui batasmu sebagai seorang muslimah, kerana apabila kau membolosinya, engkau juga membolosi perisai muslimah yang lain".

Runnymede Trust:
The Runnymede Trust has identified eight components that they say define Islamophobia.

This definition, from the 1997 document 'Islamophobia: A Challenge For Us All' is widely accepted, including by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia.

The eight components are:
1) Islam is seen as a monolithic bloc, static and unresponsive to change.
2) Islam is seen as separate and 'other'. It does not have values in common with other cultures, is not affected by them and does not influence them.
3) Islam is seen as inferior to the West. It is seen as barbaric, irrational, primitive and sexist.
4) Islam is seen as violent, aggressive, threatening, supportive of terrorism and engaged in a 'clash of civilisations'.
5) Islam is seen as a political ideology and is used for political or military advantage.
6) Criticisms made of the West by Islam are rejected out of hand.
7) Hostility towards Islam is used to justify discriminatory practices towards Muslims and exclusion of Muslims from mainstream society.
8) Anti-Muslim hostility is seen as natural or normal.

Islamic Human Rights Commission on Runnymede Trust report:
The report itself is not without fault. In particular it advocates that Muslims, as a self-help measure should be more accommodating towards the Jewish community regarding events in the Middle East. It suggests we should condemn every action taken that offends Jewish sensibilities in the Middle East, almost regardless of the rights and wrongs of each individual incident. The Runnymede Trust published a similar report on anti-Semitism in 1993, and no similar recommendation was made to the Jewish community. This aside, the report documented the problems faced by Muslims in a very real and thorough manner. The Runnymede Trust was set up in 1968 as a think tank to advise government on race relations issues. It is well-respected, and the fact that its findings can be so easily brushed aside augurs ill for Muslims in the UK, who already face bleak prospects.

Ada yang yang berpendapat, manusia hidup bertujuan untuk menyelesaikan pelbagai masalah. Bangun sahaja pagi-pagi, sudah memikirkan apa yang dimakan hari ini, berapa banyak rezeki yang akan diperoleh, krisis dengan manusia dan sebagainya. Ini semua punca stres.

Hairan, manusia hakikatnya tidak sedar bahawa mereka sebenarnya lebih kerap stres kerana risaukan urusan dunia, bukan kerana risaukan urusan akhirat. Bukan begitu? Jarang yang berasa tertekan kerana belum lagi solat ataupun tertinggal solat. Jarang yang risau andai sehari yang berlalu dalam hidupnya tidak diisi dengan amalan soleh yang boleh menyelamatkannya daripada azab akhirat.

Lihat Nabi Adam a.s., saat diarahkan keluar dari syurga dan diturunkan ke dunia, tangis Nabi Adam a.s. berpanjangan. Baginda merintih dan merayu dalam doanya. Nabi Adam tertekan kerana kesal dengan dosanya.

Lihat pula kepada Rasulullah, Baginda pernah tidak dapat tidur malam kerana tidak bersedekah dalam satu hari. Tetapi manusia lain sebaliknya, tertekan dan tidak dapat tidur malam memikirkan wangnya akan berkurangan kerana bersedekah.

Kita bagaimana? Jika memilih untuk rasa stres, pilihlah untuk stres kerana akhirat berbanding stres risaukan urusan dunia.

1. Jangan putus asa

Seorang pencinta sejati tidak akan pernah berputus asa. Dalam perkahwinan, ketabahan dan kesabaran itu amat penting, umpama isi kelapa; amal patinya, buang hampasnya.
Jangan sesekali menjadikan cinta yang pernah hadir dahulu umpama embuh pada pagi hari, kerana sedikit demi sedikit ia menghilang kala bahang mentari kian meninggi. Jika ini dapat dilakukan, maka langkah kedua pasti lebih mudah untuk dilalui, in sha Allah.

2. Perkasakan cinta

Andai pertemuan dengan pasangan adalah kerana cinta, maka pertahankan rasa cinta itu. Namun ia terlebih dahulu perlu dibersihkan daripada nafsu yang menipu, kemudian diperkasakan pula dengan cinta kepada-Nya. 
Gelora cinta ini akan menjadi penawar yang menolak segala kebencian yang hadir terutama ketika berhadapan dengan kerenah pasangan. Jika benar-benar mencinta suami ataupun isteri, maka perasaan cinta ini mampu berfungsi sebagai perangsang untuk membantu pasangan keluar daripada kelalaiannya.
Insafilah, andai benar anda mencinta pasangan di dunia ini dan berkeinginan meneruskan alam percintaan di syurga abadi, in sha Allah, maka dua langkah di atas jangan sesekali diabaikan. Sematkan ayat cinta ini dada kalian; sebagai peringatan, sebagai pedoman cinta orang bertakwa.
Firman-Nya yang bermaksud: "Teman-teman akrab pada hari itu sebahagiannya menjadi musuh bagi sebahagian yang lain kecuali orang yang bertakwa." (Surah al-Zukhruf 43:67)

3. Gantungkan harapan

Jika mengharapkan cinta berkesinambungan hingga ke syurga, maka pergantungan yang benar harus diletakkan kepada-Nya. Mengharap pada manusia, rasa kecewa akan menjelma apabila jalan-jalan harapan itu dinodai dengan perlakuan yang tidak terjangka.
Akan tetapi, menggantung harapan kepada Allah, walau apa jua yang berlaku di akhirnya, maka jiwa akan reda dan pasrah atas setiap ketentuan Yang Esa.

As time has gone by, the people have gone further from the Prophetic way (of Islam and all the Prophets). And so the people have lost much of the sunnah and piety, so that the amount of sincere and righteous Muslims has decreased. It has fallen to such an extent that it has related to the increased selfishness in society.


As society and culture has become more selfish (through materialism, love of dunya etc), more people became influenced by the selfishness. And it kept increasing every decade (and even years at times), such that it has become the norm, and the path that people think is good and aspire to. They think its a "dog eat dog eat world", a "cut throat economy", and that we need to care for ourselves because no one will care for us. It became so accepted that people in general tended to think that there are no people who are pious, sincere or selfless. Thus they negated the existence of the Awliya (friends of Allah swt) of the present (and in many cases, of the past).

The selfish people (which is the norm in society, even amongst Muslims) struggle to overcome their selfishness (which includes their desires) if they try, and because of their ego, they think that if they can't do it (become selfless), then no one can. So they assume wrongly about the selfless people, deny their existence, and treat them like the selfless are selfish people. Since the Prophet said A believer is a mirror of the believer.” [Abu Dawud], the selfish person is seeing his own selfishness in the other.
