Penyanyi Michael Jackson Peluk Agama Islam

By -

Penyanyi tersohor, Michael Jackson dilaporkan telah memeluk Agama Islam. Superstar berusia 50 tahun itu telah melafaskan Kalimah Shahadah dihadapan seorang Imam di Pal’s mansion, Los Angeles. Michael Jackson dengan resminya telah menukar namanya kepada Mikaeel.

Pendakwah yang juga bekas penyanyi pop British, Yousef Islam berada bersama Mikaeel semasa beliau mengucap Dua Kalimah Shahadah.

LONDON, Nov 21 - Michael Jackson has become a Muslim - and changed his name to Mikaeel. The skint superstar, 50, donned Islamic garb to pledge allegiance to the Quran in a ceremony at a pal’s mansion in Los Angeles.

Jacko sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an imam was summoned to officiate - days before the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab sheikh.

A source told last night how Jacko, brought up as a Jehovah’s Witness, decided to convert as he used a studio at the home of his chum to record a new album.

The star - whose hits include “The Way You Make Me Feel” - was spotted looking “a bit down” by a producer and a songwriter who had both embraced Islam.

The source said: “They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

“An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.”

Mikaeel is the name of one of Allah’s angels.

“Jacko rejected an alternative name, Mustafa - meaning ‘the chosen one’”.

British singer Yousef Islam, 60 - who was called Cat Stevens until he famously converted - turned up to help Jacko celebrate.

It was his pals David Wharnsby - a Canadian songwriter - and producer Phillip Bubal who counselled Jacko.

The pair’s new names are Dawud Wharnsby Ali and Idris Phillips.

Jacko now prays to Mecca after the ceremony at the Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro, 51, who composed music on the singer’s Thriller album.

Jacko, who rarely ventures out without a mask, is due to give evidence on Monday in a £4.7million (RM25 million) lawsuit brought by Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif of Bahrain.

The sheikh claims he bankrolled the singer’s lavish lifestyle in exchange for an exclusive recording contract. The billionaire sent songs for him to record but claims he was blanked.

He told the court yesterday: “Many times he confirmed to me he would pay me back.” - The Sun

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...
