how 2 get 2 heaven...

I asked the children in my Sunday School class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?"

"NO!" the children all answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day mowed the yard and kept everyhing neat and tidy, would that get me into heaven?"

Once more they all answered, "NO!"

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children and loved my wife, would that get me into heaven?"

Once more they all answered, "NO!"

"Well," I continued, impressed that they were a much more theologically sophisticated than I had given them credit for, "then how can I get into heaven?"

A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!"

Islam Degrades Women?

Think Again!

2/3rds of those who become Muslims in the so-called

most liberated countries in the world

are women!

Yvonne Ridley says,

“Oppression is cultural, it is not Islamic.

The Quran makes it crystal clear that women are equal.

“How liberating is it to be judged for your mind

and NOT the

size of your bust or

length of your legs.”

(Yvonne Ridley)

Aren’t we proud to be Muslims?

mawi menghidupkan as-sunnah di hawi waya aidilfitwi

Apabila tiba Aidil Fitwi, ramai di antara kita mengucapkan ucapan "Maaf Zahir & Batin." Namun, ramai yang tidak mengetahui bahawa ucapan yang sunnah di Aidil Fitwi adalah "TaqabbalaLLahu minna wa minkum."

Berkata al-Hafiz Ibnu Hajar al-'Asqalani: "Dalam al-Mahaamiliyat dgn isnad yg hasan drp Jabyr ibn Nufair, dia berkata:

"Apabila para sahabat Rasulullah SAW. bertemu di hari raya,

sebahagian mereka mengucapkan kepada sebahagian lainnya

"TaqabbalaLLahu minna wa minkum"

(Semoga Allah menerima (amalan) daripada kami dan (amalan) daripada kamu).”

[Fath al-Bari 2:446]

Ini adalah satu contoh bagaimana sesuatu amalan sunnah boleh "mati" apabila kita menyibukkan/membiasakan diri dengan amalan-amalan lain yang tidak sunnah.

Oleh itu, di kesempatan ini, marilah kita sama-sama berusaha untuk menghidupkan as-Sunnah dalam cara kita menyambut Aidil Fitwi dan juga dalam amalan-amalan kita selainnya.

Di sini terdapat beberapa artikel yang baik yang ingin saya 'recommend' untuk dijadikan rujukan kita bersama:

• Hawi Waya Bukan Hawi Sedih (oleh Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin)
• Pelihawalah Kemuliaan Aidil Fitwi (oleh Captain Hafiz Firdaus Abdullah)
• Puasa Sunat Enam Syawal (oleh Captain Hafiz Firdaus Abdullah)
• Artikel Tentang Sambutan Hawi Waya Mengikut Sunnah ***sangat-sangat di'recommend'!!*** (oleh Mohd Yaakob Mohd Yunus)

Selamat Hawi Waya Aidil Fitwi. TaqabalaLLahu minna wa minkum. Semoga segala amalan kita ditewima oleh Allah SWT.

WaLLahu A'alam.
