Solat didepan jenazah

Ada sebahagian teman menanyakan tentang berikut yg berlaku semasa solat jumaat :

Ketika ada shalat jenazah, orang-orang meletakkan keranda mayat di arah kiblat. Kemudian orang-orang melakukan shalat wajib dahulu, kemudian melakukan shalat jenazah. Apa hukumnya hal itu?

Jawapan , Inshaallah :

Tidak mengapa meletakkan jenazah di depan orang-orang yang akan shalat. Sampai mereka menunaikan shalat wajib kemudian mensholati  jenazah.

Pertama: tidak Ada larangannya mengenainya . Ada ulama melarangnya Kerana Hadis ini
لا تجلسوا على القبور ولا تصلوا إليها  ( رواه مسلم، رقم 972).
Jangan duduk di atas kuburan dan jangan shalat menghadapnya.” (HR. Muslim, no. 972)
Bagaimanapun ianya bukan sebagai dalil. Karena jenazah tidak dinamakan kuburan. Baik secara bahasa maupun agama

Kedua, jika ianya dilarang menyolat didepannya mayat atau jenazah, bukankah solat jenazah didepannya jenazah, Dan solat jenazah pun solat juga?
Jg jelas Ialah yg dilarang Ialah didepannya kuburan , bukan jenazah atau mayat, Kerana iannya adalah dua perkara yg berbeza.

Ketiga, ini jugs pendapat Dari kebanyakkan masyaikh. Antaranya:

Syekh Ibnu Baz rahimahullah ditanya, “Kalau jenazah datang pada hari Jum'at disela-sela shalat, apakah kami letakkan di depan atau belakang kami? Terima kasih."

Beliau rahimahullah menjawab, “Masalah ini luas, baik diletakkan di depan atau di belakang, kiri atau kanan orang-orang yang shalat. Semuanya itu tidak mengapa. Mayat ditaruh di masjid atau dekat masjid sampai orang-orang selesai melakukan shalat kemudian dikedepankan dan orang-orang menshalatinya. Tidak mengapa di taruh di depan orang-orang yang shalat, atau kiri kanan atau di belakang mereka. Sepengetahuan saya, hal itu tidak mengapa.” (Fatawa Nurun ‘Ala Ad-Darbi, 2/1120)

Syekh Ibnu Utsaimin rahimahullah ditanya, “Apa hukum meletakkan jenazah di depan orang-orang shalat, agar mereka menyelesaikan shalat fardu kemudian menshalati jenazah?"

Maka beliau menjawab, “Hal itu tidak mengapa. Kalau kita mengetahui bahwa hal itu tidak mengganggunya. Kalau kita ketahui hal itu dapat  mengganggunya, maka hal itu dimakruhkan meletakkan sesuatu di depan orang shalat yang dapat mengganggunya. Maksud tidak mengganggu orang shalat seperti ditempatkan di pojok masjid bukan berada di tengah shaf.” (Fatawa Nurun Ala Ad-Darbi)

Wallahualam bissowab

Amalan apabila pindah Rumah

Kerana Ada member menanyakan mengenai amalan2 pindah Rumah, Ana tuliskan secara ringkas supaya kita semua Dapat manfaat Inshaallah 

Amalan2 apabila memasuki Rumah baru/ pindah
1) bersyukur kepada Allah swt keatas nikmah
"sesunhguhnya jika kamu bersyukur pasti kami Akan menambah kepadamu.."
Surah Ibrahim 7

2) mengadakan wakirah
Dibolehkan mengadakan wakirah, sejenis walimah mengundang org2 makan tanda kesyukuran. Ada ulama menganjurkannya seperti al imam Syafiee 
و منها الوكيرة ولا أرخص في تركها
Diantara walimah Ialah wakirah. Saya tidak memberikan kelonggaran meninggal kannya"
Al mausuah al fiqhiyah al kuwaitiyah

Walaubagaimanapun, kalau ianya memberatkan maka tak perlu, atau dgnnya Akan dtg masalah lain seperti menunjuk nunjuk, ikhtilad bebas antara lelaki Dan wanita, parti2, untuk mendapat Hadiah Dari Jemputan dsb, maka tak perlu diadakan langsung. Begitu juga kalau belanja makan2 boleh digunakan untuk kebaikkan lain yg lebih awla Dan lebih afdhol atau mengelakkan pembaziran, maka lebih baik tak dibuat. Atau diadakan bersama walimah ini amalan2 yg tiada warid dari rasullulah saw seperti marhaban atau ratib2 Dan berzanji.

3) masuk ke Rumah baru Dgn Membaca 
Ma sya Allah Laa quwata illa billah
Al kahf 39.
Ibn qayyim apabila membahaskan ayat ini, 
فينبغي لمن دخل بستانه أو داره أو رأى في ماله و أهله ما يعجبه أن يبادر ألى هذه الكلمة فإنه لا يرى فيه سوءا
Selayaknya Bagi org yg memasuki kebunnya atau rumahnya atau terheran atau takjub terhadap harta Dan keluarganya hendaklah dia segera membaca kalimat ini, Kerana dia tidak Akan melihat sesuatu yg buruk terhadap nikmah ini.
Kemudian dia meriwayatkan hadis Dari Anas bin malik (dishohikan Oleh Ibn qayyim Dan didhoifkan oleh al albani)
ما أنعم الله على عبد نعمة في أهل و مال و ولد فقال: ما شآء الله لا قوة الا بالله، فيرى فيها آفة دون الموت 
Jika Allah swt memberi kepada seorg hamba nikmah terhadap keluarga, harta atau anak Kemudian Membaca masya Allah...illa billah , maka dia tidak Alan melihat kecacatan dlm nikmat itu melainkan maut
Thabrani

Selain daripada amalan2 diatas, dianjurkan beberapa amalan2 umum seperti Membaca alquran Esp surah al baqarah 
لا تجعلوا بيوتكم مقابر إن الشيطان ينفر من البيت الذي تقرأ فيه سورة البقرة - مسلم
Jangan kalian jadikan rumah2 anda perkuburan. Sesungguhmya syai than lari Dari Rumah yg dibaca kan surah baqarah . 

Begitu jugs banyakkan solat2 sunnah didlmnya.

Begitu jugs Membaca doa2 Dari nabi saw seperti masuk Rumah, keluar Rumah, Dan doa2 lain seperti auzubi kalimat illah tammat minnsyarri ma kholaq, dsb

Juga menjauhkan Dari mengantungkan gambar2 yg bernyawa, atau patung2 dsb.

The best days of the year

The best 10 days of the year
أبو حنظلة محمد زهري

Many of us know the best 10 nights of the year, which are the last 10 nights of ramadhan. However many Muslims are not aware that the first 10 days of zulhijjah are the best days of the year.  ( 6th oct is first of zulhijjah) Some are aware of this but do not pay much attention to it as much as they do with last 10 nights of ramadhan and sadly let the blessed opportunity and blessings slip out of their fingers and hence missed the bounties that already been reserved for them.
So we must utilize the best days of these sacred days as these days will remind us that another precious year of ours drawing to an end and we are more closer to our death, and hence the best ways to evaluate our deeds and make sure our standings in front of Allah swt improved. 

Ibn hajar rah mentioned in his book fathul Bari that the apparent reason for these blessed days is " the ten days of zulhijjah being distinguished in excellence is due to the assembly of the greatest acts of worship in this period that is solat, fasting, charity and hajj. In no other period that these great deeds are combined"

Allah swt said in the Quran 
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
And the ten nights,
Many mufassirin such as Ibn Abbas , Ibn zubair and mujahid had explained that the ten here are the first ten days of zulhijjah, and Allah swt has taken oath of these ten in surah fajr. 
In a narration by Ibn Abbas in bukhari, 
"ما من أيام العمل الصالح أحب الى الله فيهن من هذه الأيام"- يعني عشر ذي الحجة- قالوا ولا الجهاد في سبيل الله؟ قال: " و لا الجهاد في سبيل الله الا رجلا خرج بنفسه و ماله ثم لم يرجع من ذلك بشيء"
The prophet saw said : there are no days which the good deeds are beloved to Allah swt than these days- that is the first ten days of zulhijjah - they said : not even jihad in the path of allah? He saw said:  not even jihad in the path if Allah swt except someone  goes out for jihad with his ownself and wealth and then returning with nothing.
There are so many ahadith on the virtues of these days.
So In these days best we increase our deeds especially
A) voluntary prayers during the days and nights of the these 10 days. 
B) fasting during these ten days except on the 10th of zulhijjah
And specially on the day of Arafah, 9th of zulhijjah in which the prophet saw said it abolish sins of two years, the past and the one coming! Subhannallah .
3) zikrullah
May Allah swt helps us and made us amongst the ones who receives His blessings and forgiveness during these days. so don't miss these precious days which start tomorrow and if you are kind enough, make doa for me and my family. Jazakallahu khairan

Menstruating women reading and touching the Quran

Menstruation women reading and touching the Quran 
Verily the scholars differ regarding menstruating women reading and touching the Quran . 

Reading the Quran 
a) it is prohibited 
 jumhur ulama - majority of the scholars are in view that it is prohibited  for menstruating women to read the Quran. In this category they differs in the prohibition. 1) Some prohibit it as itlaq (blanket prohibition) 2) while others in this category prohibit it generally except for special circumstances such as hafizah who need to revise in case she will forgets or a female teacher teaching deen n Quran or a student who need to memories or learn the Quran or saving the Quran and etc. 3) while others said the prohibition only in reciting in by lisan (audibly). But reading by heart or silently is ok.
Some of the proofs of this prohibition are:
Hadith of the prophet saw
لاَ تَقرَأِ الْحَا ءضُ َوَلاََ الْجُنُبُ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْقُرْانِ
do not read a menstruation woman or those in junub anything from the Quran 
(termizi n bayhaqi)
N some of other ahadith in the same meaning.
This is the view majority of the sahabah and fuqaha.
2) it is not prohibited
This is a view of some scholars such as imam bukhori, Ibn hajar etc and some of the companions such as Ibn Abbas 
Why?
1)According to the scholars the ahadith that prohibit the menstruation from reciting the Quran are weak. There is no  Hadith sohih in the prohibition. 
2) And also the prophet saw send the letter to other non Muslim rulers with the Quran in it and this show it's permissibility. Some may argue that is not the whole Quran however the argument is that the whole Quran was only been compiled after the prophet's death so what Quran is been prohibited? Partly or whole. Not mentioned in any textual proofs. If using the hadith earlier, even part of it is prohibited.
And some other adilah (proofs) not mentioned here as it will get lengthy.
Conclusion
It is up to any individual. If he feels that the first opinion is more sound, so incumbent upon him that no reading I Quran unless he is free from hadath. However if he feels that the second opinion is stronger, he can use it. For matter of differences in opinion with both sound proofs, it is better to have an open minded heart and respect each other opinion. 
When someone asked me of my stand, I prefer the second opinion. Why?
Usually I always take the opinion
Of majority unless certain areas such as this. This is because of 
1) taysiril ummah- make it easy for ummah.
When there are two opinions both with sound textual proofs, I will go to the one which is easier for the ummah as this is what been taught by the prophet saw. Make it easy for the ummah.
2) al istifadhah, ayyuhuma aksar- the benefits derived from it. Which one has more benefits.
From my limited and weakness, the benefits in the second opinion is more such as in :
a) taalim wa taalum- teaching n learning
There will be no disruption in teaching n learning the Quran and Deen.  Especially for  those studying to memorize the Quran etc or teaching in madrasah or etc.
b) taqarrub ilallah- closeness to Allah swt
As we know that the Quran has special effect to the hearts, surrounding etc. heart or even house devoid of the recitation of the Quran is like a deserted house in which syaithan is taking over them. By making heart devoid of this recitation will cause it to be more prone to attacks from the syaithan.
c) dakwah- invitating someone to Islam
Such as the action of the prophet saw in sending letters to rulers with Quran in it. We can also seen story of a young sahabah who been elected as an imam for his clan when he is not reached puberty coz he had memorize the most of Quran among his people, in whic he memorize them before embracing Islam n making baiah to the prophet saw.
Wallahualam 

Touching the Quran 
a) it is prohibited 
and this is also the opinion of majority of scholars and companions
The proof is from
1) إنه لقرآن كريم في كتاب مكنون لا يمسه إلا المطهرون تنزيل من رب العالمين
..... Is not touched except those who are pure (al waqiaah)
2) the Hadith of the prophet saw
- لا تمس القرآن إلا وأنت طاهر
You do not touch the Quran except you are clean
- لا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Don't touch the Quran except clean person
Both Hadith are sohih Inshaallah 

b) it is not prohibited.
Some of the adilah is the same with reading the Quran such as the letters send to the non Muslim. 
Also they understand from the ayah
1) إنه لقرآن كريم في كتاب مكنون لا يمسه إلا المطهرون تنزيل من رب العالمين
The pure ones are the angels as from the overall of the ayah is mentioning Abt the angels bringing down the Quran from luh Mahfouz and explained many mufaasirin such as Ibn kathir.
Also they understand from the Hadith
That athohir or clean person mentioned are Muslim . A Muslim is always clean as mentioned in one hadith 'subhannallah ya aba hurairah, a Muslim will never become najas'
Wallahualam
Conclusion
Just as the case of recitation of the Quran , those who feel the first opinion is stronger and more safer , tafadhol and those who thinks the latter is more sound, he is also free to do so.

Last days of ramadhan

Powerful Tips for the Last 10 Nights - by Sheikh Tawfique Chowdhury :

1. Do not let your 'performance' until now affect your last 10 days. The moment of forgiveness could be today or anytime in the coming days! It is not all lost! If you sincerely wish it could have been better - Chin up and get ready to make it your best yet! Start with a positive, sincere intention!

2. Today, take a little time to read the Tafseer of Surah al-Qadr to understand what actually happens this night! You will feel its power & greatness so much more!

3. Do not wait for the 27th Night to give it your "all". The entire last 10 days should be your target. Stay up each night! Would you want to miss Laylatul Qadr even "by chance"?

4. Do not fall into any innovations/celebrations any masjid or culture might try to promote. Follow the Sunnah! The Prophet (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) guided us simply: "Whoever stays up and prays on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”

5. Memorize and keep asking the dua' taught by Rasulullah (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam): Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).

6. Prepare a short dua' list. Remember this is as awesome as it ever gets for a servant of Allah! The Night of Qadr, of Destiny! Consciously pick each and everything you crucially wish for in this dunya, in your deen, family, and in your aakhirah! Don't forget to include the brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering and in grief!

7. Take brief naps during the day, if possible. Keep your stomach light and sleep as soon as you have prayed 'isha. Do not delay! After a brief nap, refresh yourself and get. ready for worship.

8. Don't neglect your family! Rasulullah made it a point to wake up his wives throughout these nights! And yes, your children are not too young to stay up some part of the night - if they can be allowed to play video games or watch TV, they can be inspired to be up atleast for sometime! Prepare them, make them excited, plan some activities for them to do!

 9. Look the Part: The way we dress and prepare.has a big effect on our psychology. Wear your best, perfume yourself, and feel the energy!

10. Choose a spot, whether in the Masjid or in your home, where you can have peace and solitude. Keep your mushaf, praying mat, and water at hand so that you are not distracted by constantly getting up for this or that.

11. IMP: This is not the night to tweet pics or update FB statuses about how amazing the night is and how you are feeling & worshipping Allah! Let that be a secret between you & your Rabb! So switch off those phones, wifi, laptops and computers. Disconnect with the world, and connect with al-'Afuww!

12. If you find yourself feeling sleepy, vary your acts of worship. Alternate between qiyaam, heartfelt dua'a, reading the Qur'an. Do not spend the night listening to lectures or recitations. Or do it only for a short while when you feel the sleep coming on!

13. Patience is the Key: The last 10 days might be tiring. You might still have work or school. This is the time to bear all that hardship, and keep firm sabr. Think how Allah has blessed you with this tremendous opportunity that might NEVER come again in your life again. If you knew for sure that this was your last Ramadan , if you knew certainly that Jannah was up for grabs, wouldn't you sprint for it no matter what it takes?

14. This is most important: Keep husn adh-dhann bi Allah (good expectations from Allah). When you ask, remember you are asking the Most Generous King. If you hope for the best, He will give you the best. Don't hold back. Trust in Him, pour out your heart in front of Him, and let no doubt, no barrier, no evil thoughts keep you away from ar-
Rahman, ar-Raheem!

Allahumma ballighna laylatal qadr..

If sin smells

If sin smells....
Countdown to ramadhan 
(2 more days) by abuhanzolah

Yes, if every sin we do give out smells, what will become of us? Nobody will like to be near us!
Just imagine, for every solat we misses or delays, we will emit pungent continuous smell in which no amount of perfume can eradicate it. Or every ursury we took or give will give out smells that can give us misery, or every curses or backbiting will give repulsive smell that could bite the nose out of the ones near us, or every oogling of girls will give a mind boggling smell that will cause tears to the smeller, or every bad intentions or malice or hate in our hearts will emit incorrigible and horrible smell that will rot the hearts of the ones smelling it, and so on and so on. 
I will clearly say that nobody will want to be near us, let alone be or close friend.
But Allah swt the most gracious had made a veil for all of us as he is as-sittir wa as-Sattar. If he opens up all our shortcomings n bad deeds, we will not know what will become of us.
So let's start asking for His forgiveness so that we will start this coming ramadhan with a clean slate. We don't have to wait for ramadhan to start asking for Taubah and istighfar coz 1) we may not even have the opportunity to meet ramadhan however close we are to it; 2) our sins are too numerous and enourmous so why not start now; 3) the prophet saw who is protected and forgiven from sins everyday make 70x Taubah and istighfars, so who are we for not doing the same.
Sometimes we are not doing Taubah due to various reasons such as follows:

1) no hope. 
Some people believe that there is no hope for them due to their numerous mistakes and sins. Don't. Allah swt forgives sins even  how great or many they are. Just start returning to Him. Make the first step, He will do the rest. There's no bigger door than the door of Allah swt forgiveness.
2) too confident of themselves
Yes many people think they are good already. "Others are in more problematic state than mine. I had already prayed and fast and read Quran. I already  go to the mosque. I am chairman of an Islamic society , mosque etc u noe. My family are pious. Don't worry god is forgiving. I had made a lot of sacrifices for deen. I study here and there. I had done this and that....'"
These are all dangerous thoughts. Just as a word of reminder. Nobody among us, whether he is an alim, or big syaikh or maulana, or so called wali, or student of knowledge or pillar and supporter of dakwah movements or etc has been certified jannah dwellers. In fact nobody among us has been guaranteed to die as a Muslim ! The khatib every Friday reminds us with Allah swt words : " don't ever you all die except when you are all muslimun". May Allah swt save us and give us husnul khotimah. Look at our beloved prophet saw. How's his actions are? He prayed till his feets blistered. How Abt his companions such as Abu Bakar . He was guaranteed paradise but he kept on crying for Allah swt forgiveness . So who are we to act high and mighty. 
In fact iman is between hope and fear. Hoping for His forgiveness and fear of not getting His pleasure. Hope without fear is wishful thinking and arrogance. Fear without hope is lackness in iman and understanding His great qualities and attributes thus will also result in depression and faithless.
3) seeing sins as a small matter.
Yes due to weak iman, we sometimes see sins as insignificant. A real mukmin when he does a sin as though as a mountain is going to fall on him. Whereas a fasiq when he does a sin, it just like a fly flying near him. He just shoo-ed it away. Allah swt describe believers : "when they hears Allah 's name / or being mentioned His name, their hearts trembles"
4) too used to the sins that it becomes part of our lives.
Yes when we are used to a particular sin, that we we think it is ok although we knew from the Quran and sunnah that it is prohibited. Well everybody is doing it so I am ok. For eg, when we gets used to seeing a half naked girls, we will got not feel anything when seeing them and does not feel it is a sin. So does other sins such as backbiting whether in a real sense or now online such as via social networks and platform . It becomes a part of our life trolling, cursing ..etc
In an authentic Hadith the prophet saw said : whoever amongst you a mungkar, he has to change it with his hands, if not able to, he has to change it with his tongue , and If not possible too, he has change it with his heart and that is the lowest of iman". So what is the state of our iman. Sadly sometime not dat we hate the sin but nauzubillah we enjoys the sins and love it. 
5) or when the sins we do we think is a Good deed.
This usually occurs on innovation in the ibadah or worship of Allah swt. When a deed is passed or masked as a part of the deen, the doer will not realize it and thus will pose danger to the doer as he does not know that he is doing a sin instead. For normal sin, a doer knew that he is doing a sin but due to weakness in his iman he does it, and this he acknowledge it and possibly in his heart that he will make amends and do Taubah. But if he does not knew that he is doing a sin and believe it is a good deed, how can he make Taubah? For eg action of making prostration to a Syeikh due to his awe, whereas there are numerous ahadith assohihah that clearly prohibits the action. How can he make Taubah when in his heart he thinks he is doing the right thing. May Allah swt guides us all. We have to return back to the main source of deen,  Quran and sunnah.
6) when he thinks his time is still long.
Yes I am still young so I got years later to make Taubah . But hard facts there are dead youngs everyday. So start now.

And many other reasons too. The main idea is that we all, especially myself have to start making Taubah everyday, especially before ramadhan so that we will celebrate this ramadhan with a clean heart and pure soul, and if you have time, spare some of your doa for me and my family

Solat sunnah berjemaah

Assalam alaikum ya Ustaz. Kaifa haaluka? Nak tanya sikit. Kalau ana adakan qiyamullail berjemaah dgn budak2 skola tapi sekali sekali sahaja. Adakah ini termasuk bidaah? Ada sahabat ana kata ini bidaah. Padahal purpose kita lakukan untuk timbulkan perasaan ghairah untuj lakukan qiyam dan juga sebagai ta'liim. Kenapa di katakan bidaah? Kerana mengadakan satu ibadah secara jemaah dan menetapkan macam setiap bulan like some do. Katanya nabi tak pernah gather sahabat2 to do such things. Only in ramadhan or when we r praying ada org join.

Tak ianya tak termasuk bidaah Inshaallah . Apakah  yg menyebabkannya menjadi bidaah? Di Bulan ramadhan pun nabi tak pernah gather sahabat2 utk qiyam :-)
Perhatikan Dan baca hadis qiyam fii ramadhan Dgn teliti.Sahabat2 yg ikut sendiri. Apakah perbezaan Dgn bulan2 lain? Cuma di ramadhan ittofaq ulama ianya sunnah secara berjemaah tetapi di blm lain Ada khilafnya

Tapi perlu dketahui bahwa ada khilafnya samada bole berjemaah ke tak. Yg rojih inshaAllah boleh,
tetapi Jgn jadikan lazim. Utk training la bas fihi. Anta bole bawakan dalil Ana pada mereka yg cakap tak boleh. Cuma kita kena berlapang dada didlm perkara khilafiah.
Al-Imam al-Khatib asy-Syirbini ( rh ) pengarang kitab “ Mughni al-Muhtaj “ menyatakan bahawa setiap solat sunat yang tidak disyariatkan asalnya secara berjemaah , maka ianya boleh juga dilakukan secara jemaah . Sebab , Saidina ‘Umar r.a sendiri telah menghimpunkan manusia untuk melakukan solat terawih secara berjemaah sedangkan Baginda Nabi s.a.w pada permulaannya tidaklah melakukan solat terawih secara berjemaah [ Cuma apabila Para Sahabat r.a melihat Baginda Nabi s.a.w melakukannya bersendirian , para sahabat r.a pun beratur di belakang Baginda s.a.w dan mengikut solat Baginda s.a.w ] .

Dalam kitab Fathul Bari (Syarah Shahih Bukhari) karya Imam Ibnu Hajar Al-’Asqalani, dinukilkan hadis ‘Itban bin Malik Radhiallahu’anhu tersebut, bahwa Rasulullah Shallallahu’alaihi Wasallam telah melakukan shalat Dhuha (subhata adh-dhuha) di rumahnya [rumah 'Itban bin Malik], lalu orang-orang berdiri di belakang beliau dan mereka pun sholat dengan shalat beliau (fa-qaamuu waraa`ahu fa-shalluu bi-shalaatihi).

Di bawah ini Ana nukilkan tulisan seorg ustaz mengenai perkara yg sama yg boleh diambil ikhtibar juga:

"Mayoritas ulama ulama berpendapat bahwa shalat sunnah boleh dilakukan secara berjama’ah ataupun sendirian (munfarid) karena Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam pernah melakukan dua cara ini, namun yang paling sering dilakukan adalah secara sendirian (munfarid). Perlu diketahui bahwa Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam pernah melakukan shalat bersama Hudzaifah; bersama Anas, ibunya dan seorang anak yatim; beliau juga pernah mengimami para sahabat di rumah ‘Itban bin Malik[5]; beliau pun pernah melaksanakan shalat bersama Ibnu ‘Abbas.[6]

Ibnu Hajar Al Asqalani ketika menjelaskan hadits Ibnu ‘Abbas yang berada di rumah Maimunah dan melaksanakan shalat malam bersama Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, beliau rahimahullah mengatakan,

“Dalam hadits ini menunjukkan dibolehkannya melakukan shalat sunnah secara berjama’ah.”[7]

An Nawawi tatkala menjelaskan hadits mengenai qiyam Ramadhan (tarawih), beliau rahimahullahmengatakan,

“Boleh mengerjakan shalat sunnah secara berjama’ah. Namun pilihan yang paling bagus adalah dilakukan sendiri-sendiri (munfarid) kecuali pada beberapa shalat khusus seperti shalat ‘ied, shalat kusuf (ketika terjadi gerhana), shalat istisqo’ (minta hujan), begitu pula dalam shalat tarawih menurut mayoritas ulama.”[8]

Ada sebuah pertanyaan yang pernah diajukan pada Syaikh Muhammad bin Shalih Al Utsaimin rahimahullah mengenai hukum mengerjakan shalat nafilah (shalat sunnah) dengan berjama’ah. Syaikh rahimahullah menjawab,

“Apabila seseorang melaksanakan shalat sunnah terus menerus secara berjama’ah, maka ini adalah sesuatu yang tidak disyari’atkan. Adapun jika dia melaksanakan shalat sunnah tersebut kadang-kadang secara berjama’ah, maka tidaklah mengapa karena terdapat petunjuk dari Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mengenai hal ini seperti shalat malam yang beliau lakukan bersama Ibnu ‘Abbas[9].
Sebagaimana pula beliau pernah melakukan shalat bersama Anas bin Malik radhiyallahu ‘anhu dan anak yatim di rumah Ummu Sulaim[10], dan masih ada contoh lain semisal itu.”[11]

Namun kalau shalat sunnah secara berjama’ah dilakukan dalam rangka pengajaran, maka ini diperbolehkan karena ada maslahah. Ibnu Hajar ketika menjelaskan shalat Anas bersama anak yatim di belakang Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam secara berjama’ah, beliau mengatakan,

“Shalat sunnah yang utama adalah dilakukan secara munfarid (sendirian) jika memang di sana tidak ada maslahat seperti untuk mengajarkan orang lain. Namun dapat dikatakan bahwa jika shalat sunnah secara berjama’ah dilakukan dalam rangka pengajaran, maka ini dinilai lebih utama, lebih-lebih lagi pada diri Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam (yang bertugas untuk memberi contoh pada umatnya, -pen).”

Kesimpulan:

Shalat sunnah yang utama adalah shalat sunnah yang dilakukansecara munfarid (sendiri) dan lebih utama lagi dilakukan di rumah, sebagaimana sabda Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,
“Hendaklah kalian manusia melaksanakan shalat (sunnah) di rumah kalian karena sebaik-baik shalat adalah shalat seseorang di rumahnya kecuali shalat wajib.” (HR. Bukhari no. 731)

Terdapat shalat sunnah tertentu yang disyari’atkan secara berjama’ah seperti shalat tarawih.
Shalat sunnah selain itu –seperti shalat Dhuha dan shalat tahajud- lebih utama dilakukan secara munfarid dan boleh dilakukan secara berjama’ah namun tidak rutin atau tidak terus menerus, akan tetapi kadang-kadang.
Jika memang ada maslahat untuk melakukan shalat sunnah secara berjama’ah seperti untuk mengajarkan orang lain, maka lebih utama dilakukan secara berjama’ah.
Wallahu a’lam bish showab.

Man : Preordainment and Free Will




Man : Preordainment and Free Will (part 1 inshaaAllah J )

Divinine Preordainment is one of the most important issues that occupy the mind of many. A friend of mine asked me about it and something got to do with it.

InshaAllah I will try to make this very brief and maybe we will benefit from it as well.

Before that, it is best we start from Man itself. Man’s action can be classified into 2 types
1) 1     His actions which are preordained. He has no feedom to accept or refuse these actions, such as his birth, death, him being short or tall, dark skinned or light, the unwilled motion of the systems within his body etc.
2)     2 Man is also endowed with the freedom of choice to do any action. Thru thinking and feeling he is able to accept and refuse and ability to carry them out.When reaching the age of puberty, man is obligated to observe the acts of worship as he is able to decide. He had the power of reasoning and is able to decide to do or not to do an action. He is free to choose whether to observe or responds to Divine legislation or not.
We have to understand 2 of the attributes of Allah swt to understand this, that is al-khaliq (the creator) and al Hakim (the most just) .
He created everything, including the Syaithan and all the things happened with his Will and permission. However, He is also the most Just. When we say Just, we must understand that Allah did not enjoin an action unless we are able to do it. He provides us with the power and grants us the ability and gives us the freedom to choose whether to do it or not to do it. For example,  adultery. He created within the man the ability to commit adultery or not to commit them. If he did not commit the action, he had safeguarded himself will be rewarded. However if he committed the action, he will be a sinner as he had directed the ability and capability that had been bestowed upon him to do the sin.

It is impossible and feasible that Allah swt orders an action or forbid another that is beyond the ability of man itself and beyond his scope. Allah swt says “ Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope..” In another ayat he say “ ..and He has not laid upon you in religion any hardship”. In another ayat he says: “ ..Allah intends for you ease and does not want to make things difficult for you..”

So comes a Question, does the devil have the means to set up things to distract us from the Deen or manipulate us.
First of all, the Devil is also a creature of Allah swt, he has no power or able to do things without the permission from Allah swt. He will entice man to do bad things, showing them the ‘goodness’ in falsehood, whisperings to the man’s heart to sin etc. So man with his own ability and nafs and the whisperings from the syaithan, he is able to sin, but he is also capable to shun this whisperings, take reins of his own nafs and refrain from sinning.

Secondly, can we say that Syaithan is also part of the tests from Allah swt. Yes, it is the test from Allah swt and He has given man the capability to overcome it and freedom to choose.

A simple example, an uncovered super sexy lady walks in front of us. Our eyes glanced at it. (1) Our mind knows it is wrong to ogle at her as it is prohibited by Allah swt. (2) Our nafs (desires) says go for it. (3) Syaithan will take this opportunity to whispers to our hearts..just seeing only ..only a short look again…it’s a waste shes such a bomb….later can istighfar, Allah is most forgiving..etc (4) And Allah swt made this scenario possible for us as a test (liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu amala- to test you all which or you had made his deeds good, ---and this is the life of this world).
If we succumb to our nafs and listened to the syaithan, we had sinned. If we overcome this test, we will be rewarded.
So all the tests that befalls us, we are capable of overcome it or just succumb to it.

Wallahualam.
