Majlis Tahlil dan Kenduri Arwah - Disyariatkan atau tidak? Jawapan ringkas...

Kebetulan ana menerima video ini dua kali dalam masa terdekat ini melalui whatsapp. Sekali dikongsikan oleh emak mertua, dan sekali lagi dikongsikan oleh emak kandung sendiri.

 

Sila tonton video di atas, kemudian baca seterusnya jawapan ringkas daripada ana:

 

• Soalan yang dibaca menyebut tentang mazhab Shafie yang mengatakan ianya tidak syarie. Para pembaca akan dapati ustaz ini tidak menyanggah kebenaran soalan, tetapi terus memberi alasan beliau akan sebaliknya. Ternyata memang benar, mazhab Imam Shafie sendiri memang tidak membenarkan Tahlil dan Kenduri Arwah, seperti dinyatakan soalan. Sila rujuk mana-mana kitab Fiqh, termasuk kitab-kitab kuning yang dipelajari di pondok-pondok.

 

• Para pembaca juga akan dapati ustaz ini terus mengalih pandangan kepada "isi kandungan upacara majlis tahlil"  yang mengandungi 5 perkara lalu memberi alasan bagi setiap perkara berasingan, untuk menunjukkan majlis tahlil dan kenduri arwah (secara keseluruhannya) adalah baik. Ini satu teknik yang cerdik, tetapi seorang yang berilmu akan dapat mengesan cara licik ini. Cuba tonton dan lihat, bahawa beliau tidak mengemukan dalil yang jelas langsung tentang Majlis Tahlil dan Kenduri Arwah, sebagai satu upacara yang disyariatkan, tetapi hanya alasan untuk komponen-komponen sahaja.

 

• Dengar betul-betul, bahawa ustaz ini ada menyebut sepotong hadis yang sebenarnya bercanggah dengan apa yang beliau ingin buktikan, iaitu hadis tentang kematian Jaafar bin Abi Talib. Namun malangnya, dia hanya menyebutkannya dalam bahasa arab, dan tidak diterjemahkan. Hadis itu berbunyi: اصنعوا لآل جعفر طعاما فإنه قد جاءهم ما يشغلهم (Buatkanlah makanan untuk keluarga Ja'far kerana mereka telah ditimpa sesuatu yang menyibukkan mereka.)

Hadis itu adalah situasi yang kita bincangkan, iaitu apabila berlaku suatu kematian, apa yang perlu dilakukan? Pada kesempatan itu, nabi HANYA menyuruh para sahabat membantu memberi makanan kepada keluarga Jaafar.

 

Cuba fikirkan: Mengapa nabi tidak menyuruh mereka buat Majlis Tahlil dan Kenduri Arwah?

 

Itu sahaja memadai sebagai jawapan...

 

Sabda nabi: "Sesiapa yang melakukan amalan yang tidak kami perintahkan, maka ianya tertolak." [Sahih Muslim]

Imam Malik tentang Bid'ah Ihram

Seorang lelaki telah datang bertemu dengan Imam Malik bin Anas, Imam Dar al-Hijrah (Madinah) lalu bertanya kepadanya satu soalan yang cantik. Dia bertanya: “Wahai Imam, di manakah patut saya berihram untuk melakukan ibadat Haji?"

Imam Malik menjawab: “Berihramlah di Zhul-Hulayfah” (maksudnya, salah satu daripada miqat di mana nabi berihram, dan Zhul-Hulayfah adalah miqat untuk penduduk2 Madinah yang dikenali sekarang dengan nama Aabar ‘Ali)

Lelaki itu menjawab: “Tidak, saya tidak akan berihram dari sana! Adakah saya hendak tinggalkan masjid nabawi yang mulia ini? Adakah saya hendak tinggalkan nabi di dalam kuburnya yang mulia ini dan berihram di Zhul-Hulayfah. Tidak! Saya akan berihram di sini berihram daripada masjid di sisi kubur yang mulia ini!”

Dengarlah apa jawapan Imam Malik!

Kata Imam Malik: “Jangan lakukan kerana saya takut kamu akan ditimpa fitnah!”

Jawab lelaki itu: “Apakah fitnah yang akan menimpa, wahai Imam, ia hanyalah beberapa batu (perjalanan) yang saya tambah.”

 Dengarlah jawapan Imam Malik: “Apa fitnah yang lebih besar daripada seseorang yang berpendapat dia telah mencapai satu fadhilat yang tidak didahului oleh Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam).”

Inilah bahaya bid’ah!

Kemudian Imam Malik menggunakan dalil Quran yang merupakan dalil paling kuat menurut ilmunya, lalu berkata kepadanya: “Sesungguhnya, saya dengar ayat Allah berfirman: Maka hendaklah orang yang menyalahi perintahi perintah rasul takut akan ditimpa fitnah atau azab yang pedih.” [an-Nur : 63]

[Kisah ini terdapat di dalam kitab al-I'tisam oleh Imam asy-Syatibi, Kitab Hilyatul-Awliyaa oleh Abu Nuaim, dan lain-lain]

Male lust is blind...

In Islam, a man cannot be in seclusion with a non-related woman. This is called khalwah, and it is prohibited.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "None of you should be alone with a woman unless she is with her mahram (male relative)."

[Sahih Bukhari]

This is a research that talked about "Male lust is blind", which is very relevant to what I just mentioned above:

Male lust is blind, research suggests

Men have long been accused of judging women on looks alone, but even the plainest Jane can get their hormones raging, a study has found.

Research involving a group of male students found that their levels of the hormone testosterone increased to the same extent whether they were talking to a young woman they found attractive – or to one they didn't fancy much at all.

After 300 seconds alone in the same room as a woman they had never met before, and in some cases did not find particularly attractive, the men's testosterone levels of the hormone had shot up by an average of around eight per cent.

The study's authors believe the rise in testosterone may be an automatic and unconscious reaction that has evolved in man when faced with a woman, to prepare him for possible mating opportunities.

The rising levels may then fuel more visible changes in male behaviour that occur in the presence of a woman, including a squaring of shoulders, an upright posture, and greater use of hands - and even, it is suggested, a flaring of the nostrils.

The rise in the male hormone may also be the reason why men are more likely to tell women exaggerated stories about their job, career, education and earnings, the researchers believe. The study, published in the journal Hormones and Behaviour, involved 63 male students aged 21 to 25 who were not aware of the purpose of the study.

Their testosterone levels were measured with saliva samples and they were then taken to another room by a researcher under the guise of being there to solve a sudoku puzzle.

In the same room another man or a woman appeared to be solving a similar puzzle, but he or she was in fact acting as the so-called stimulus.

The women were chosen on the basis of being moderately attractive for the student population.

The researcher then made the excuse that he did not have the correct puzzle for the participant and left the room to get it. The two were then left alone to wait together for five minutes. The stimulus people were told to engage in friendly conversation in a natural manner, or allow long pauses if the man elected not to talk.

After five minutes, the experimenter returned with the correct puzzle, and then left the room with the stimulus person.

Fifteen minutes later, the experimenter returned to collect the puzzle from the man, and to take a second saliva sample. Comparison of the saliva tests showed that testosterone levels rapidly increased by an average of 7.8 per cent after the five minute contact with a woman.

Men who were rated as more aggressive or dominant types had gone up even higher. The results also show that testosterone levels did not change when they were in the room with another man.

The men were also asked to rate the attractiveness of the woman in the room, and the results show that the testosterone increase was not influenced by the perceived attractiveness of the women.

Leander van der Meij, who led the study at the University of Groningen in Holland, said: "We found a testosterone increase after only five minutes of exposure to a woman. Our results suggest that the increase in testosterone levels that we found, may be an automatic male response that activates receptors in organs and the nervous system to prepare the human body for mate attraction."

The researchers believe the results suggest that one of the ultimate functions of testosterone may be to attract mates. One way it may do that is by orchestrating changes in appearance and behaviour that may increase their attractiveness.

This idea is supported by evidence that dominance behaviours of men increases their desirability as a date and by research showing that men who exhibit more dominant-like behaviour make more frequent successful contact with women.

Mr van der Meij added: "We showed that testosterone levels increased in men after contact with women. This increase is probably an important mechanism through which men acquire partners.

"Testosterone levels rose motivating men to seek mating opportunities. That in turn triggers changes in unconscious behaviour designed to attract a mate. The rise in levels of the hormone bring about changes in way men display themselves.

"Once levels have risen, they can display more dominant behaviour. They talk more with their hands, there is more eye contact, their posture is more upright, and they are more likely to tell stories designed to impress the woman. We known that women can be attracted by these kinds of things. All this, we believe, may be fuelled by the rise in testosterone that we have found."

Lafaz-lafaz Syirik

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَشِئْتَ, قَالَ: "أَجَعَلْتَنِي مَعَ اللهِ نِدًّا؟ لَا بَلْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ". أخرجه الطبراني (12/244 ، رقم 13005) ، وأخرجه أيضًا : البخاري فى الأدب المفرد (1/274 ، رقم 783) ، وأبو نعيم (4/99) ، وصححه الألباني في "السلسلة الصحيحة" ( 1 / 216

Daripada Ibn Abbas (ra) berkata: Seorang lelaki berkata kepada nabi (saw): “Apa yang Allah kehendaki dan engkau (saw) kehendaki.” Nabi bersabda: “Adakah kamu jadi saya nidd (sekutu) dengan Allah? Jangan! Malah, (kata sahaja): Apa yang Allah kehendaki sahaja!”

Hadith ini diriwayatkan oleh at-Tabarani (12/244), no. 13005, dan diriwayatkan juga oleh al-Bukhari dalam al-Adab al-Mufrad (1/274), no. 783, dan Abu Nu’aim (4/99), dan disahihkan oleh al-Albaani di dalam as-Silsilah as-Sahihah (1/216).

Nidd, bermaksud sekutu. Allamah Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albaani berkata: “Di dalam hadith-hadith ini bahawa kata-kata lelaki ini kepada orang lain: “Apa yang Allah kehendaki dan engkau (saw) kehendaki,” dianggap syirik di sisi Allah, dan ia merupakan syirik lafaz kerana ia memberi bayangan bahawa kehendak seorang hamba (Allah) adalah pada darjat yang sama dengan kehendak Allah. Seperti ini juga, kata-kata orang awam: “Aku tidak ada sesiapapun melainkan Allah dan engkau!” atau “Aku bertawakkal (berserah dan berharap) kepada Allah dan Engkau!” Begitu juga kata-kata penceramah: “Dengan nama Allah dan tanahair!” atau “Dengan nama Allah dan bangsa!” dan lafaz-lafaz syirik yang lain yang wajib dihentikan penggunaannya dan bertaubat daripadanya, beradab dengan Allah!”

Malangnya, di antara lafaz-lafaz yang berleluasa sekarang ini adalah: “Kalau tidak kerana Allah dan si polan”, dan “Perkara baru (??) bagi Allah dan engkau!” dan “Allah bagiku di langit dan engkau bagiku di dunia.”

Shirk (syirik) - Polytheism! The Worst Form of Injustice

A "DATUK" named after a malay (died or DOB in 1922(!)): "DATO SERI IZAM", who is supposedly a MALAY, MUSLIM. And to help "STRENGTHEN" this malay DEITY (Object of worship), he was given a KOPIAH!! Subhanallah!!!

And the guy who takes care of this "DATUK" actually asked for several strands of my beard to be given to "DATO SERI IZAM"!! Of course, I said: NO! Subhanallah!!

Why? Because Muslims must NEVER help in any way in this regard!

Some muslim technicians asked me if they can install some wirings and lightings for one of the "DATUK" at a factory, since the job has been assigned to them. I told them NEVER to be involved! Tell their boss to approach non-muslims!

Islam is clear! Allah said in the Quran:

وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ

"And help one another in birr (goodness) and taqwa (piety) and DO NOT HELP ONE ANOTHER IN SINS AND TRANSGRESSION."

[al-Maaidah:2]

وَإِذَا رَأَى الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا شُرَكَاءَهُمْ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا هَؤُلَاءِ شُرَكَاؤُنَا الَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُو مِنْ دُونِكَ فَأَلْقَوْا إِلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ وَأَلْقَوْا إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ السَّلَمَ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

"And when those who associated partners with Allah see their partners (those whom they used to worship in this world) they will say: "Our Lord! These are our partners whom we used to call upon besides you.'' But they will throw their statements back at them (saying): "You are indeed liars!''
[al-Nahl:86-87]

وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لاَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَـمَةِ وَهُمْ عَن دُعَآئِهِمْ غَـفِلُونَ وَإِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ كَانُواْ لَهُمْ أَعْدَآءً وَكَانُواْ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَـفِرِينَ

"And who is more astray than one who calls upon others besides Allah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their invocations to them And when the people are gathered (on the Day of Resurrection), they (false deities) will become their enemies and will deny their worship"
[al-Ahqaf:5-6]

Our worship must SOLELY be to Allah ALONE! Because ALLAH CREATED ALL CREATIONS, HENCE HE ALONE DESERVES OUR WORSHIP.

Directing any form of worship, even supplication (do'a) towards any of the creation, whether dead or alive, is a grave injustice!

Ergonomics - Walking with one shoe only!

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: لا يمش أحدكم في نعل واحدة لينعلهما جميعا أو ليخلعهما جميعا وفي رواية أو ليحفهما جميعا متفق عليه

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "None of you should walk wearing one shoe; either wear them both or take both off .''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعنه قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول إذا انقطع شسع نعل أحدكم فلا يمش في الأخرى حتى يصلحها رواه مسلم

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When the lace of one of the shoes of one of you snaps, he should not walk with the other until he has got the lace repaired.''
[Muslim].

When one reads the commentaries of the scholars regarding these hadiths, they came up with a variety of explanation for its wisdoms.

I quote Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips:
"Thus, there may very well be some medically related reasons for the Islamic prohibition on walking in a single sandal or shoe - which is yet to be discovered. Perhaps, it may be due to a temperature imbalance created by the temperature difference between the covered foot and the bare foot when one walks on ground colder or warmer than his body temperature."
[Tafseer Soorah al-Hujuraat pg. 182]

Perhaps he has a valid point. However, it is immediately apparent to those who have some knowledge regarding ergonomics, that this prohibition has a lot to do with ergonomics of walking or running with only a shoe and a bare foot and that this will lead to health problems in the future due to continued imbalance of weight distribution between the two feet.

"Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability."
[Wikipedia]

Unsafe Act - Pointing a weapon to someone

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لا يشير أحدكم إلى أخيه بالسلاح فإنه لا يدري لعل الشيطان ينزع في يده فيقع في حفرة من النار متفق عليه

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "None of you should point at his brother with a weapon because he does not know that Satan may make it lose from his hand and, as a result, he may fall into a pit of Hell-fire (by accidentally killing him).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Malay translation: Abu Hurairah (RA) berkata: Rasulullah (SAW) bersabda: “Janganlah seseorang kamu mengacu senjata kepada saudaranya (seIslam), kerana dia tidak tahu barangkali syaitan akan membuatkan senjata itu lucut (berlaku yang tidak baik) lalu jatuh ke lubang Neraka (kerana membunuh tanpa sengaja).”

وفي رواية لمسلم قال: قال أبو القاسم صلى الله عليه وسلم: من أشار إلى أخيه بحديدة فإن الملائكة تلعنه حتى ينزع وإن كان أخاه لأبيه وأمه

In another narration in Sahih Muslim is: Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Messenger of Allah) (PBUH) said, "He who points at his (Muslim) brother with a weapon is cursed by the angels even if the other person should be his real brother.''

Malay translation: Dalam hadith lain dalam Sahih Muslim: Rasululah (SAW) bersabda: “Sesiapa yang mengacu senjata kearah saudaranya, para malaikat akan terus melaknatinya sehingga dia berhenti, walaupun orang itu adik beradiknya yang sebapa seibu.”

وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يتعاطى السيف مسلولا رواه أبو داود، والترمذي، وقال: حديث حسن

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) prohibited from presenting a drawn sword to another.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

Malay translation: Jabir (RA) berkata: Rasulullah melarang memberikan kepada yang lain pedang yang terhunus.

Commentary:

Shaikh Muhammad bin Saleh al-Uthaimin said:

فالمهم أن جميع أسباب الهلاك ينهى الإنسان أن يفعلها سواء أكان جادا أم هزلا، كما دل على ذلك حديث أبي هريرة

"The important point is that all causes of harm is prohibited whether serious or in jest, as pointed out by the hadith of Abu Hurairah."

The shaikh explained that the prohibition applies to all things harmful, including driving a car fast towards someone and swerving at the very end so as not to overrun the person concerned, this is also prohibited.

Likewise, one should never give harmful items to anyone from its blade side. If a naked sword drops from one's hand, it can injure someone's hand, foot or any part of the body. Similarly, the case of a sharp knife or any other similar weapon and tool.

When we study such things, we will be amazed to see the care which Islam has taken in safety.

Malay translation:

Shaikh Muhammad bin Saleh al-Uthaimin menerangkan: “Yang penting adalah semua asbab yang boleh membahayakan adalah terlarang, samada dalam keadaan serius atau berjenaka, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh hadith Abu Hurairah.” Shaikh tersebut menerangkan bahawa larangan itu adalah untuk semua perkara yang merbahaya, termasuk memandu kereta laju ke arah seseorang dan kemudian mengelak di saat akhir agar orang itu tidak digilis, seperti ini juga dilarang. Begitu juga, seseorang itu dilarang memberi benda-benda yang merbahaya kepada sesiapa mendahulukan bahagian yang tajam. Sekiranya pedang terhunus itu jatuh dari tangannya, ianya akan mencederakan tangan, kaki atau anggota badan orang lain. Seperti juga pisau yang tajam, dan lain-lain jenis senjata atau peralatan.

 Sekiranya kita kaji perkara-perkara seperti ini, kita akan dapati Islam mengambil berat tentang keselamatan.
