Ulama' Ummah

Assalamualaikum wbt.


Beberapa hari lepas, saya berkongsi dengan Abang satu cerita tentang kelebihan istighfar.

Ceritanya bermula begini :

Pada suatu hari, Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal sedang mencari tempat untuk berehat di waktu malam selepas permusafirannya di siang hari. Baliau pergi ke masjid untuk solat dan berniat untuk bermalam di masjid tersebut. Namun tindakannya itu dihalang oleh orang tempatan kerana takut-takut apabila orang lain melihat beliau berehat dan tidur di situ, orang lain akan berbuat perkara yang sama.

Maka Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal pun akur dan dia keluar dari masjid tersebut dan mencari tempat untuk berteduh. Sedang beliau berjalan, seorang pemuda terlihat akan beliau. Pemuda tersebut menawarkan Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal untuk bermalam di rumahnya setelah melihat Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal seolah-olah sedang mencari tempat untuk bermalam.

Pemuda tersebut lalu membawa Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal ke rumahnya. Pemuda itu merupakan seorang pembuat roti. Rumahnya agak selesa kerana kehangatan pembakar roti. Selepas mempelawa Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal untuk berehat, pemuda tersebut meneruskan kerjanya membuat roti. Sedang pemuda tersebut membuat roti, Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal duduk di sebelahnya.

Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal memperhatikan gerak geri pemuda tersebut menguli tepung untuk dijadikan roti. Sambil pemuda tersebut menguli tepung, dia beristighfar. Istighfarnya selari dengan tangannya yang menguli adunan tepung.

" Astaghfirullah al-azim. Astaghfirullah al-azim. Astaghfirullah al-azim."

Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal pun bertanya kepada pemuda tersebut.

"Sejak bilakan kau melazimi dirimu dengan perkara ini (istighfar) ?"

"Sejak aku mula membuat roti," jawab pemuda tersebut.

"Sejak bila kau mula membuat roti?," tanya Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal lagi.

"Sejak aku baligh, aku menolong ayahku membuat roti. Sehinggalah kini," pemuda itu menjawab sambil menguli adunan.

"Adakah kau juga berdoa?," tanya Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal.

"Ya.. Aku berdoa pada Allah agar aku ditemukan dengan Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal," jawab pemuda tersebut.

Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal pun berkata, "Akulah Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal.."

So, moral of the story is : Antara kelebihan istighfar adalah, hajat atau doa kita akan dimakbulkan dengan izin Allah.


Keesokan harinya, Abang pergi ke Cairo untuk beberapa urusan termasuklah ke Maktabah Darus Salam untuk membeli beberapa buah kitab.

Pulang dari Cairo, Abang bercerita pada saya. Semasa Abang bertolak ke Maktabah Darus Salam, Abang beristighfar dan berdoa moga-moga Allah dapat temukan Abang dengan mana-mana Syeikh di Maktabah Darus Salam nanti.

And guess what?

Abang jumpa dengan Syeikh Usamah Sayyid Mahmud Al-Azhari! Seorang ulama' muda Mesir yang mahir dalam pelbagai disiplin ilmu dan juga ulama' muda yang disegani.

Fadhilatul Syeikh Usamah Sayyid Mahmud Al-Azhari

Abang bersama Fadhilatul Syeikh Usamah Sayyid Mahmud Al-Azhari.

Abang, Sayang sangat jealous okay?


Ya Allah, semoga saya juga dapat bertemu dengan mana-mana Syeikhul Kabir di Mesir ini satu hari nanti. Dan yang paling saya impikan, untuk duduk bersama dalam majlis ilmu yang disampaikan oleh para Masyaikh di sini. Ya Allah, Kau perkenankanlah..

Ziyad?

Ziyad pun nak jadi Ulama' lah Ummi!

Here it goes, Syeikh Dr. Mohammad Thoriq Ziyad Bin Abdul Kadir. Ulama' ummah! Bi iznillah..

Syeikh Ziyad enjoy reading books. He also loves to recite Quran!

Syeikh Ziyad berzikir bila ada masa terluang..

Syeikh Ziyad wake up from sleep and recite doa " Alhamdulillahi allazi ahyana ba3da ma amatana wa ilaihi nusyur. Amin!"

Ba3da solat.. Hisap jari kejaplah. Hihi..

"Abi let's go to masjid and perform solat jamaah together!"

Doakan agar anak kecil ini dapat dididik untuk menjadi seorang ulama' yang mahir dalam pelbagai disiplin ilmu dan seterusnya menyampaikan risalah dakwah sepertimana sunnah Rasulullah S.A.W.

Alluhumma taqabbal minna duaa'..

Extraordinary

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Sometimes I feel like crying of no reasons. World of mine is kinda tiring. Yes, that's the truth. I always realize that these are the paths I used to choose. So I will keep step forward and never turning back. With Allah's will.

I asked Abang how to be an Extraordinary.



Abang asked me back, to whom I wanna looked/be an Extraordinary? Allah or Human-being?

I bite my tounge!

How about both? I answered him. Just after few seconds.

Frankly, Abang's question made me think more deep and wise.

TO WHOM?

Being a medical student, a wife and a mother at the same time made my life changed totally. The things are now not just about my self, my time, my life, my ambition, in brief - not all mine.

It's OURs'.

It took time for me to think rationally about :

is that a mother if you go out so often to meet your almost self-schedule and let your child grows up while you missed every steps of his milestones?

or

is that a wife if you just fulfill your self-contentment upon what you want and try to achieve and left your home topsy-turvy-up-side-down?

It doesn't make senses. It's not a victory of my life.

Upon above, now I know that I'm not an ordinary medical student. I am an Extraordinary.

Not all people can make this. Only some, special and selected.

And I proud to be one.



With Allah is my purpose, Quran & Sunnah is my guidance, Islam is my life, Jihad is my path, Syahid is my end, Jannah is my goal - I promise myself to make my dreams come true by an extraordinary way, extraordinary effort or even by extraordinary life I live.

Giving Hope Is Our Bad

Assalamualaikum wbt.

I always tried to find a suitable time for proper blogging. But sorry, never found any. 5th year is a hectic year. Especially when you're a wife and a mom. Extra-busy I think.

Paediatric is more enjoyable rather than Internal. Maybe because I love kids. Or to be more precise, because I love Ziyad. he he he.

Few days ago, I met a mother (which generally called Mama here) of Trisomy 21 kid. We (my friends & I) were actually tried to find any case of Trisomy 21 (also known as Down Syndrome) to see the characteristic features presented on them. After searching high and low from floor to floor, we finally found him accidentally in Genetic-related Disease Ward.



His name is Muhammad and he was sleeping. His body is abnormally large and he seems like 1 year-old or above. I asked the Mama how old is he and I was surprise when the Mama told me that he's 6 month-old!

I told the Mama that I have 5 month-old son named Muhammad. She asked me if its for real? because I looked so young and small :P . How can I got married and have son? Ha ha ha. I told her that I'm already 23 and its common to have son at this age even in Egypt.

Muhammad had excessive size and weight for his age. He's hypotonic and looked ill. We searched for Brachydactyle, Simian Creases, Syndal Gap, Syndal Line, Brachycephaly, Cryptochidism and many more.We also auscultate his breathing and heart sound ( but failed to diagnose any defect as its like many musical sounds inside :P)


Mama frequently asked us if his son is okay. She also asked us if Muhammad will be like us when he grows up. She asked if Muhammad is like my son, Ziyad. And several questions that expressed her 'hope' upon his son. We don't know how to answer her appropriately.

"InsyaAllah kullu quwaiyis. Kullu bikhair.." (InsyaAllah everything will be good)

"Kalam gad?" (Cakap betul ke ni?)

"Errrr... InsyaAllah lau Doktor ha egi, fa bi uulak. Ehna tolabah. Ehna 3arif syuwayyah bas.." (If Doctor come, he'll tell you. We're student. We don't know much)

On our way back home, we felt some sort of guilt. Did we give her too much hope by telling her that everything will be just okay but actually not?

Would she feel bad when she knows that his son suffer from abnormalities?

Would she feel worse when she knows that his son would never be like us one day further?

That's our bad. Yes, our bad.

Hurmm...

As a mother, I know how did she felt.

We, as a mother, always pray and pray that may our son or daughter will always in good conditions of health. We always will.

And even if her children is not like other normal kids, she'll never abandon their own offspring. She'll care their children more than she cares herself.



That's what we call Mother.

#Sometimes, we may forget how to be thankful to our Lord. And He will never forget to always remind us how to do so.
