Assalamu'alaikum w.b.t...

Untuk makluman semua.... Hari Nisfu Sya'aban akan tiba pada hari Rabu malam Khamis ( sebaik saja masuk maghrib), 5hb August, 2009
(selepas magrib pada hari 14 Sya'aban 1430H)

Oleh itu, marilah kita sama-sama mengambil saat keemasan ini untuk menutup catatan amal ibadah kita kpd Allah dengan baik dan sempurna dan
seterusnya berazam untuk memperbaiki diri kita untuk catatan yang baru.

Hari nisfu sya'aban adalah hari dimana buku catatan amalan kita selama setahun diangkat ke langit dan diganti dengan buku catatan yang baru.

Catatan pertama yang akan dicatatkan dibuku yang baru akan bermula sebaik sahaja masuk waktu maghrib, (15 Sya'aban bermula pada 14 hb
sya'aban sebaik sahaja masuk maghrib)

Berikut adalah antara amal ibadah di hari Nisfu Sya'aban:

1. Selepas solat maghrib (15 Sya'aban, malam = 5 August 2009)
Solat sunat nisfu sya'aban, 2 rakaat Rakaat 1 : baca Al-Fatihah & surah Al-Qadar 1x Rakaat 2 : baca Al-Fatihah & surah Al-Ikhlas 3x

2. Membaca Yasin 3x selepas solat Maghribnya (15 Sya'aban, malam = 5 August 2009)

i) Selepas Yasin pertama : mohon dipanjangkan umur untuk beribadat kepada Allah

ii) Selepas Yasin kedua : mohon rezeki yang halal untuk beribadat kepada Allah

iii) Selepas Yasin ketiga : mohon ditetapkan iman dan Islam & mati di dalam iman & pohonlah segala yang baik....
Kemudian baca Istighfar 11x & selawat 11x

Baca doa nisfu Sya'aban (ada didalam Yasin Majmuk)

3. Baca surah ikhlas 1000x

4. Berpuasa pada siangnya

Abul Khair Al Talaqaani r.a. mengira nama2 malam Nisfu Syaaban sebanyak 22.

Antaranya yg termasyhur adalah:
1. Malam Dimustajabkan Doa
2. Malam Pembahagian Takdir
3. Malam Rahmat
4. Malam Berkat
5. Malam Pengampunan (Taubat)
6. Malam Penebusan
7. Malam Syafaat
8. Malam Penulisan
9. Malam Keagungan dan Kemuliaan
10. Malam Rezeki
11. Malam Hari Raya Para Malaikat
12. Malam Penghidupan

Antara kelebihan bulan Sya'aban:

1. Sesiapa berpuasa sehari dalam bulan Sya'aban maka Allah haramkan tubuhnya dari api neraka dan dia akan menjadi teman kpd nabi Allah
Yusof didalam syurga.

2. Riwayat dari Osman Bin Abi Al-As, Sabda Nabi Muhammad (saw) : pada malam nisfu sya'aban setelah berlalu 1/3 malamnya, Allah turun ke langit
dunia lalu berfirman : adakah orang-orang yang meminta maka Aku perkenankan permintannya, adakah orang yang meminta ampun maka aku ampunkannya,
adakah orang yang bertaubat maka aku terima taubatnya dan diampunkan semua orang mukmin lelaki & perempuan , melainkan orang yang berzina atau orang
yang berdendam marah hatinya kepada saudaranya.

Sebaik-baiknya minta ampun dengan ibubapa sebelum hari nisfu sya'aban kerana amalan kita akan terhalang dari diangkat ke langit sekiranya kita derhaka/berdosa dengan ibubapa kita.

Wallahua'alam

Sampaikanlah kepada rakan-rakan kita yang lain....InsyaAllah.

A really interesting article on the mathematical fraction that was mentioned in a hadith..

_____________________________________

In this short article, I would like to share with you an understanding of a hadith sahih regarding the dreams of righteous people in which a mathematical fraction was mentioned. This has made some ulama wonder why such a fraction was involved and, alhamdulillah, Allah has guide them to the answer. I would like to give special thanks to Ustaz Syed Abdillah Al Jufri for his guidance.

Let us, now, look at the hadith and a couple more for a better understanding.

Narrated Annas bin Malik (r.a.): Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.) said, “A good dream (that comes true) of a righteous man is one of fourty-six parts of An-Nubuwa (Prophethood).” - Sahih Al-Bukhari

(Please note that there are similar hadiths narrated by ‘Ubada bin As-Samit, Abu Huraira, Sa’id Al Khudri and ‘Ata bin Yassar found in Sahih Bukhari and the book of Imam Malik)

Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a.): I heard Allah Messenger (s.a.w.) saying, “Nothing is left from the An-Nubuwa(Prophethood) except Al-Mubashshirat.” They asked, “What are Al-Mubashshirat?” He replied, “Righteous good dreams (that convey glad tidings).” – Sahih Al-Bukhari

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (r.a.): The Prophet (s.a.w.) said, “If anyone of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it and narrate it to others; but if he sees something else, i.e., a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Satan, and he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and he should not mention it to anybody, for it will not harm him.” – Sahih Al-Bukhari

From the above three hadiths, we can see that dreams may come from Allah or from Satan. For the righteous people, their dreams are one out of fourty-six (i.e. 1/46) of prophethood and this comes from Allah. Now that there is no morewahyu, the only means for a righteous man to receive information from Allah is through dreams. But why does such a fraction arise in the hadith? What does it imply?

It is explained as follows:

Rasulullah s.a.w. became a prophet when he was at the age of 40 years old (based on lunar calendar). He passed away at the age of 63 years old (according to some ulama he passed away on his own birthday) with a period of exactly 23 years of prophethood. Before he became a prophet, he used to have many righteous good dreams for a period of 6 months till he received the first five verses of Surah Al-‘Alaq from Allah (through Gabriel). This marked the beginning of his prophethood.

So, mathematically, we may write the following:

The period that he had righteous good dreams = 6 months = 0.5 years

The period of his prophethood = 23 years

Therefore, the following ratio could be written:

Period of having righteous good dreams : Period of Prophethood

0.5 : 23

or 1 : 46

Hence, mathematically, it can be said that “A righteous good dream is of prophethood.”

Coincidentally, the 46^th verse of Surah Yusof mentions a dream of a king and refers to Yusof (a.s.) as a man of truth (i.e.a prophet).

For a good reading about dreams, I would like to recommend a book entitled, “Dreams in Islam”, by Imran N. Hosein.

Tips For Improving Your Relationship With The Qur'an.

Are you one of those people who rarely touches the Quran? Or do you read daily, but don't find it is having the impact on you that it should? Whatever the case may be, these are some simple tips that can help you connect with the Quran.

1. Before you touch it, check your heart
The key to really benefiting from the Quran is to check your heart first, before you even touch Allah's book. Ask yourself, honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was described by his wife as a "walking Quran": in other words, he didn't just read and recite the Quran, he lived it.

2. Do your Wudu (ablution)
Doing your Wudu is good physical and mental preparation to remind you you're not reading just another book. You are about to interact with God, so being clean should be a priority when communicating with Him.

3. Read only 5 minutes everyday
Too often, we think we should read Quran for at least one whole hour. If you aren't in the habit of reading regularly, this is too much. Start off with just five minutes daily. If you took care of step one, Insha Allah (God willing), you will notice that those five minutes will become ten, then half an hour, then an hour, and maybe even more!

4. Make sure you understand what you've read
Five minutes of reading the Quran in Arabic is good, but you need to understand what you're reading. Make sure you have a good translation of the Quran in the language you understand best. Always try to read the translation of what you've read that day.

Sama samalah kita ingat mengingati amalan amalan mulia yang penuh berkat ini……….
