Dawud Wharnsby Ali - Sunshine Dust and the Messenger

By -

Morning light through the bedroom window
Slow motion dust specks swirling in the sun
I close my eyes, and I’m floating along.
Sun did you warm the face of the Prophet
The way you warm mine, and make this room glow.
Dust were you brushed from the beard of the Prophet,
Coming from Jihad so long ago.

CHORUS:
Allah humma Salli Ala Muhammad
Ya Rabbal Alameen
Allah humma Salli Ala Muhammad
Salallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam

Rain pouring down upon my garden.
Rhythm of the rain that sings its song.
I close my eyes, and I’m floating along.
Rhythm of rain were you once a river,
That purified the Prophet before his prayers.
Were you the same breath from the lips of the Prophet,
Carrying wisdom to thirsty ears?

CHORUS

Sharp clear crescent, lighting the blue night
Slipping in silence through the star scattered sky
I close my eyes, and I know that I belong.
Were you the same moon who lit the way of the Prophet,
Slipping through the desert on his Hijrah.
Stars did you map the way to Madinah
For the blessed Messenger of Allah?

CHORUS

And I close my eyes, and I’m floating along.
And I close my eyes, and I’m drumming along.
And I close my eyes, and I know that I belong.
THE BLUE SKY IS BLUE

CHORUS:
The blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum,
But it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah.
And like the flavour of the blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last,
We’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go past.

I don’t want to be a grown-up like the grown-ups I have seen,
Because the grown-ups I have seen don’t seem to have much fun.
They don’t get down on the floor enough to pray or play with toys,
When I’m a grown-up I won’t want to be one.

Now if I lived back at the time of the Prophet,
I know that he would be different; I just know he’d find the time.
And I would make him something special like some paper planes or something,
I could race those planes with him or get a camel back ride.

Doa Haikal dan khasiatnya

Adalah diriwayatkan oleh Rasulullah SAW pada suatu hari sedang baginda duduk di dalam masjid Madinah, maka Jibril pun datang membawa firman. Ujarnya,”Ya Rasulullah. Salam Allah Ta’ala pada tuan hamba dan firmannya: Hai kekasihku adapun doa haikal (7 doa ini) dihantarkan pada tuan hamba. Maka barangsiapa tiada percaya akan doa ini, kafirlah ia dan barangsiapa membacanya atau menyimpannya maka Allah SWT melepaskan dia dan ibu bapanya daripada api neraka. Ya Muhammad. Barangsiapa menaruh doa ini di dalam rumahnya, maka tiada boleh masuk jin dan syaitan ke dalam rumahnya itu. Barangsiapa suratkan doa ini dan dipakai diperbuat tangkal(azimat), nescaya lepaslah ia daripada azab sengsara dan wabak, serta duduk dalam aman. Dan barangsiapa menaruh doa ini, sentiasalah ia dihormati orang dan termulialah ia pada orang ramai dan ketika hendak mati pun tiadalah ia merasai azab sakaratulmaut itu. Maka dengan mudah sahaja nyawa itu keluar. Barangsiapa membaca doa ini tiap tiap hari, dan jik...

THE MEANING OF SUCCESS AND FAILURE

By -

by : Muhammad Harun The Arabic word for success, which also recurs in the Generous Qur’an, is ‘falāh’, a word we are all familiar with as we hear it five times a day “…hayya ‘ala_l falāh!” in every adhan. Interestingly enough, the same root fa‐lam‐ha is also used in the Arabic word for farmer – fallāh, the literal meaning of which is something like ‘a person, who is successful by habit or by profession’. Here lies one key to the real meaning of success: The farmer of all professions is perhaps the one, who is least in control over the outcome of his efforts and labor; he tills the soil and throws the seed grains, and then he trusts in God. He leaves it to HIM to send lightening and rain and provide sunlight in the required measure to make the seeds germinate and grow, and he depends on HIS qudrah and rahmah to withhold hailstorms, droughts and pests while the plants are tender and vulnerable, and then again to provide dry weather to bring in the harvest – at least that is how it used t...

Soal Jawab : Ghibah

By -
Image
Soalan Ass. Wr. Wb. Saya heran ustadz, banyak tempat buat lahan amal ghibah sekarang ini. Semua orang suka membicarakan (aib?) orang lain dan sepertinya menikmatinya dan bahkan menghasilkan rezeki plus dosa bagi sebagian orang. Mungkin mereka takut kalau mereka membicarakan diri sendiri, mereka akan terperangkap ke dalam mengamalkan perbuatan yang mengarah kepada penyakit-penyakit hati (pamer kebaikan diri, riya’, sum’ah, ujub, takabur, dan lain sebagainya). Pertanyaan saya, ghibah yang Islamy, yang syar’i, yang diizinkan menurut kacamata syariah, yang diridhoi Alloh SWT, dan bahkan yang semakin mendekatkan diri kita kepada Sang Khalik itu yang bagaimana ya? Afwan kalau pertanyaan ini menggelitik sanubari kita. Jazakalloh khoiron katsiiro, yaa Ustadz. Wass. Wr. Wb. Jawaban Assalamu 'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Tidak ada ghibah yang Islami. Sebagaimana tidak ada zina yang Islami, mabuk yang Islami, mencuri yang Islami atau durhaka yang Islami. Membicarakan aib suadara, teman...
