Hadist – Hadist “ jangan sembarangan bilang kafir, dan keasingan Islam.

Rasulullah  shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,

“ Barang siapa yang mengatakan kepada saudaranya “wahaiKafir’ maka ucapan itu akan kembali kepada salah satu dari keduanya.Apabila seperti yang ia katakana, namun apabila tidak maka akan kembali kepada yang menuduh” (HR.Muslim, Abu ‘Awanah dan Ibnu Hibban dari Shahabat Ibnu Umar radhiyallaahu anhuma)

Rasulullah  shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,

Islam awalnya asing, dan kelak akan kembali asing sebagaimana awalnya, maka beruntunglah bagi al-Ghurabaa’( orang – orang asing)”.(HR. Muslim dari Shahabat Abu Hurairah radhiyallaahu anhu.)

Rasulullah  shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,

“ …….Maka wajib atas kalian berpegang teguh kepada Sunnahku dan Sunnah Khulafa-ur Rasyidin yang mendapat petunjuk.Peganglah erat –erat dan gigitlah dia dengan gigi gerahammu.dan jauhilah oleh kalian perkara –perkara yang diada-adakan ( dalam agama), karena sesungguhnya setiap perkara yang diada-adakan itu adalah Bid’ah, dan setiap Bid,ah itu sesat “.(HR.ahmad,Abu Dawud,dan at-Tirmidzi,ad-Darimi,al-Baghawi.)

Antara Penuntut Ilmu dan Pecandu Internet

Antara Penuntut Ilmu dan Pecandu Internet[1]

Seorang penuntut ilmu, pertama sekali dia memperhatikan perbaikan dirinya sendiri dan senantiasa bersikap lurus, karena dia adalah teladan, baik dalam akhlaqnya maupun sikapnya.

Seorang penuntut ilmu, sangat bersemangat untuk meraih suatu kemanfaatan, bermajelis dengan para pemilik ilmu, pemilik keutamaan dan sifat wara’.

Seorang penuntut ilmu, senantiasa membekali diri dengan ilmu yang bermanfaat, menjaga waktunya (dari hal-hal yang tidak berguna), hingga engkau tidak melihatnya kecuali selalu mengambil manfaat, berpaling dari perkara yang sia-sia dan menyibukkan diri dengan perkara yang bermanfaat saja.

Seorang penuntut ilmu, apabila dia berbicara maka dia memberi manfaat dengan perkataannya, jika dia menulis maka dia memberi manfaat dengan tulisannya, hingga orang yang bermajelis dengannya tidak akan pernah kosong dari suatu manfaat.

Seorang penuntut ilmu, menghargai kemulian ilmu dan kedudukan ulama, dia mengambil ilmu dari para ulama, menhormati dan mendoakan mereka serta memohon rahmat untuk (ulama) yang sudah meninggal.

Seorang penuntut ilmu, membenci ghibah dan membenci orang yang suka berghibah, dia juga tidak ridho apabila aib seseorang dibicarakan di depannya. Engkau lihat seorang penuntut ilmu itu bersikap tawadhu’, tidak mengangkat dirinya melebihi kedudukannya yang sebenarnya, tidak berbangga dengan sesuatu yang tidak dia miliki, tidak tertipu dengan pujian dan sanjungan, tidak meninginkan ketenaran, tidak pula kedudukan di tengah-tengah manusia, karena dia tahu bahwa yang mampu mengangkat dan merendahkan seseorang hanyalah Allah Ta’ala, bukan seorang manusia.

Seorang penuntut ilmu, senantiasa berdakwah dan mensihati kaum muslimin, memerintahkan kepada yang ma’ruf dan melarang dari yang munkar sesuai dengan kaidah-kaidah syari’ah dan tatanan masyarakat. Engkau lihat seorang penuntut ilmu itu sangat bersemangat dalam menyatukan ummat, merekatkan hati-hati mereka dan membenci perpecahan antara Ahlus Sunnah, karena dia mengetahui bahwa perpecahan itu selalu bersama kebid’ahan dan persatuan selalu menyertai sunnah. Oleh karenanya dikatakan, “Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah (persatuan)” dan “Ahlus Bid’ah wal Furqoh (perpecahan)”.

Demikian pula engkau lihat seorang penuntut ilmu selalu menjaga lisannya, dia tidak mengomentari semua gosip dan isu yang tersebar di masyarakat, karena dia tahu bahwa semua perkataan dan perbuatannya akan dihisab.

Seorang penuntut ilmu, memperhatikan maslahat pada setiap perkataan dan perbuatannya, dia tidak membuka pintu (mencontohkan) keburukan bagi manusia, tidak membicarakan perkara yang batil, tidak sibuk dengan permasalahan yang tidak dipahaminya, dia tidak masuk dalam suatu pembicaraan kecuali berdasar ilmu, sehingga dia tahu penyebab masalah yang ada dan apa solusinya. Benar-benar dia telah menyiapkan jawaban di hadapan Allah Ta’ala kelak (atas semua perkataan dan perbuatannya).

Inilah sebagian sifat penuntut ilmu, semoga Allah Ta’ala menganugarahkan sifat-sifat tersebut kepada kita.

Adapun pecandu internet, keadaannya terbalik, sebagaimana telah dimaklumi dan disaksikan.

 

Pecandu internet akhlaqnya rendah, suka melanggar kehormatan, menyia-nyiakan waktu tanpa manfaat, menyerang siapa saja tanpa memperdulikan kemuliaan ilmu, umur, kehormatan dan keutamaan. Dia juga berlagak ‘alim, mencari-cari kekurangan dan kesalahan orang lain, semua itu adalah buah dari mencandu internet secara berlebihan. Hari dan tahun yang dia lalui kosong tak berarti, hingga akhirnya dia tidak bisa tenang dan tidak membiarkan orang lain tenang.

Maka, jika engkau ingin menjadi penuntut ilmu, jalannya ada di depanmu dan telah jelas bagimu tanda-tandanya. Namun jika kamu memilih jadi pecandu internet, jalannya juga ada di depanmu, yang dipenuhi dengan kotoran dan najis, maka kotorilah dirimu sesuai kehendakmu, akan tetapi janganlah engkau membohongi manusia, sehingga engkau disangka seorang penuntut ilmu!

Diterjemahkan dari website resmi Asy-Syaikh Abu Malik Abdul Hamid Al-Juhani hafizhahullah, Imam dan Khotib Masjid Umar bin Khattab radhiyallahu’anhu di Yanbu’ Al-Bahr, juga Da’i di Kementrian Wakaf, Dakwah dan Bimbingan KSA, dari artikel yang berjudul:

الفرق بين طالب العلم , وطالب الأنترنت

[1] Nasihat ini beliau tulis sebagai nasihat kepada para penuntut ilmu yang berdakwah via internet, sekaligus sebagai celaan terhadap orang-orang yang suka menyebar kerusakan di internet, mengoyak persatuan Ahlus Sunnah dan membuat lari kaum muslimin dari dakwah yang penuh berkah ini

Penyebab Berhenti Merokok

11 Sebab Berhenti Merokok

Oleh Norlaila Hamima Jamaluddin

Ramai berkata mengatasi ketagihan rokok jauh lebih payah dari berhenti menagih dadah. Perkara ini diakui pakar perubatan dan bekas penagih. Walaupun tahu merokok membahayakan kesihatan seperti menyebabkan kanser paru-paru dan mulut dan penyakit sekatan pulmonari kronik (COPD), tetapi ramai yang tidak mampu melawan pengaruh nikotin ke atas otak.

Jika anda perasan, antara garis panduan umum untuk mengelakkan penyakit atau mengekalkan kesihatan yang diberikan mana-mana doktor ialah berhenti merokok. Ini kerana merokok boleh menjadi agen perangsang kepada pelbagai masalah kesihatan dan penyakit kronik.

Mungkin hanya perokok saja yang tahu kemanisan merokok. Secara rasionalnya kita masih tercari-cari di mana manisnya merokok terutama di kalangan wanita. Tanpa sedar ia bukan saja membakar wang dan kesihatan tetapi turut menyebabkan gigi kuning dan berkarat – yang mencacatkan kemanisan senyuman!

Selain itu ada lebih 10 sebab mengapa anda perlu berhenti merokok. Masih ada masa untuk menyambut tahun baru dengan perubahan positif yang memberi manfaat kepada semua orang terutama diri sendiri dan orang tersayang.

Alzheimer – Merokok menyebabkan fungsi otak merosot 5 kali lebih cepat terutama bagi perokok berumur. Berdasarkan kajian ke atas 9,200 perokok lelaki dan wanita berumur 65 tahun ke atas yang disiarkan dalam jurnal Neurologi, didapati fungsi otak perokok merosot lebih cepat walaupun mereka tidak mempunyai sejarah keluarga mengalami masalah dementia (nyanyuk).

Bagaimana ini boleh berlaku? Merokok memberi kesan kerosakan berpanjangan terhadap salur darah, menyebabkan darah boleh membeku yang meningkatkan risiko serangan strok dan kemerosotan daya ingatan.

COPD dan kanser paru-paru – Satu-satunya punca kepada dua penyakit kronik ini ialah rokok. Risiko penyakit ini boleh dikurangkan dengan berhenti merokok seawal mungkin. Perokok tegar yang merokok sejak muda akan mengalami kerosakan paru-paru yang lebih teruk dan sedihnya kerosakan ini tidak boleh dipulihkan. Ada banyak kes pesakit terpaksa bergantung kepada bekalan gas oksigen untuk bernafas yang perlu dibayar dengan harga mahal sedangkan kita sememangnya dikelilingi oksigen percuma!

Kanser mulut – Banyak kajian menunjukkan antara punca utama kanser mulut ialah merokok selain tabiat makan sirih. Risiko kanser mulut akan hilang jika anda berhenti merokok dan semua masalah lain seperti ulser juga akan sembuh.

Lupus – Sistemik Lupus Eritematosus atau lupus adalah penyakit auto imun di mana sistem imun tersilap tafsir dan menganggap badan sendiri sebagai bahan asing yang perlu dihapuskan. Ini adalah penyakit auto imun yang kronik dan boleh mengakibatkan keradangan, kesakitan dan kerosakan tisu badan.

Penyelidik Universiti Harvard mendapati perokok mempunyai risiko yang agak tinggi untuk mendapat lupus. Ini bukanlah penemuan yang menghairankan kerana asap rokok mengandungi lebih 4,000 jenis racun yang boleh menukar mana-mana fungsi badan termasuklah sistem imun. Bagaimanapun risiko ini boleh dihilangkan dengan berhenti merokok.

Sindrom bayi mati mengejut (SIDS) – Kajian yang dijalankan penyelidik Eropah ke atas 2,400 bayi mendapati daripada 745 kes SIDS, kurang daripada separuh (50%) kematian disebabkan bayi tidur meniarap atau mengiring. Hampir 16 peratus kematian dikaitkan tidur bersama ibu terutama yang merokok dan risikonya dikatakan 17 kali ganda lebih tinggi.

Bayi alami masalah sakit perut – Pendedahan kepada asap rokok boleh meningkatkan risiko masalah kolik atau sakit perut. Inilah rumusan dari lebih 30 kajian di seluruh dunia. Masalah sakit perut bermula beberapa minggu selepas bayi dilahirkan dan kes paling tinggi dicatatkan apabila bayi berumur lima hingga lapan minggu yang boleh berlarutan sehingga umur mencapai empat bulan.

Asap rokok boleh menaikkan paras hormon dalam darah dan usus yang dipanggil motilin. Hormon ini akan membuat pengecutan otot perut dan usus menjadi laju – yang secara tidak langsung mempercepatkan pergerakan makanan. Inilah sebabnya bayi boleh mengalami sakit perut dan berasa tidak selesa.

Risiko mati pucuk – Pasti ada perokok yang mendakwa walaupun kuat merokok, mereka tetap ramai anak. Itu bagi perokok yang bertuah dan anda perlu bersyukur dikurniakan cahaya mata. Kurniaan itu seharusnya dipelihara sebaiknya dengan tidak mendedahkan anak-anak anda kepada racun asap rokok.

Prestasi di bilik tidur memang penting bagi lelaki dan untuk mengekalkannya, anda perlu berhenti merokok. Soal selidik ke atas hampir 5,000 lelaki di China mendapati mereka yang merokok lebih sekotak sehari mempunyai kecenderungan sebanyak 60% mengalami masalah mati pucuk berbanding bukan perokok.

Secara keseluruhan 15% perokok mengalami masalah ereksi berbanding 12% lelaki tidak merokok seperti yang dilaporkan dalam Seminar Pencegahan dan Epidemiologi Penyakit Kardiovaskular di Miami, Amerika Syarikat.

Mati pucuk bukan sekadar masalah di bilik tidur saja. Ia sebenarnya menjadi petanda paling penting kepada pelbagai masalah kesihatan lain dan merokok akan menyebabkan tahap kesihatan anda bertambah buruk.

Hilang penglihatan – terutama perokok berumur. Perokok mempunyai risiko empat kali lebih tinggi untuk menjadi buta disebabkan kemerosotan makular akibat penuaan. Lebih 25% kes kemerosotan makular yang boleh membawa kepada kebutaan berkaitan dengan tabiat merokok. Berhenti merokok boleh merendahkan risiko ini dan memanjangkan hayat penglihatan anda.

Artritis Reumatoid – Individu yang mempunyai genetik lemah akan lebih mudah mendapat artritis reumatoid jika mereka merokok. Kajian penyelidik Sweden mendapati risikonya ialah 16 kali lebih tinggi berbanding individu tidak merokok.

Berdengkur – Masalah yang memalukan ini biasanya lebih buruk di kalangan perokok. Bahkan pasangan anda yang tidak merokok juga akan mendapat kesannya. Lebih 24% perokok tidur berdengkur berbanding 20% kumpulan yang sudah berhenti merokok dan hanya 14% bagi golongan tidak pernah merokok.

Perokok sekunder (orang yang tidak merokok tetapi terdedah kepada asap rokok) juga mendapat tempiasnya. Kajian mendapati 20% individu yang menghidu asap rokok di rumah berdengkur.

Kanser payudara – Wanita yang mula merokok sebelum berumur 20 tahun atau sekurang-kurangnya 5 tahun sebelum mereka hamil dan merokok bagi tempoh yang lama mempunyai risiko yang jauh lebih tinggi untuk mendapat kanser payudara.

Kadar kelaziman kanser payudara di kalangan perokok dan perokok sekunder ialah 30% dan ini adalah jumlah yang membimbangkan kerana jumlah perokok wanita kian bertambah setiap tahun. Kanser payudara pula adalah antara penyakit yang belum ada cara untuk mencegahnya.

Biasanya ibu amat marah dan kecewa jika bayi mereka digigit nyamuk tetapi ramai yang tidak sedar dengan merokok mereka sebenarnya mendedahkan anak kesayangan kepada lebih banyak ancaman kesihatan. Jadi jika anda benar-benar sayangkan anak, berhentilah merokok.

Aku Hanyalah seorang Penuntut Ilmu.

by Sukri Samad on Friday, February 25, 2011 at 11:07pm

Aku tidak mengatakan diriku adalah seorang ahli ‘ilm (karena memang aku bukanlah ahlu ‘ilmu, melainkan hanya penuntut ‘ilmu), maka janganlah memanggilku dengan sebutan-sebutan yang tidak pantas kusandang (seperti ustadz). Janganlah pula engkau MENIMBA dan BERTANYA (tentang) ‘ilmu kepadaku. Janganlah jadikan website/ facebookku ini sebagai rujukan ‘ilmu bagimu. Tapi timbalah dan tanyalah ‘ilmu kepada ahlinya. Apa-apa yang kupostingkan di website/facebook ini yang berisikan kebenaran, maka terimalah. Apa-apa yang bertentangan dengan kebenaran, maka tolaklah, dan luruskanlah aku (dengan ‘ilmu dan hujjah).  Sumber : http://abuzuhriy.com/?p=2572

Wahai orang berilmu…

Wahai orang berilmu…

35Share

Seorang dari salafush shalih berwasiat kepada orang berilmu,

‘Wahai orang berilmu, amalkan ilmumu, berikan kelebihan hartamu, dan tahanlah kelebihan perkataanmu kecuali sedikit pembicaraan, akan bermanfaat bagimu di sisi Tuhanmu.

Wahai orang berilmu, sesuatu yang kamu ketahui tetapi tidak kamu amalkan adalah pemotong argumentasi dan alasanmu di sisi Tuhanmu ketika kamu menemui-Nya.

Wahai orang berilmu, taat kepada Allah yang diperintahkan kepadamu sebenarnya telah menyibukkanmu dari maksiat kepada Allah yang dilarang untukmu.

Wahai orang berilmu, janganlah kamu menjadi orang kuat yang meneropong perbuatan orang lain, namun kamu sendiri manusia lemah dalam mengerjakan (suatu amal) untuk dirimu sendiri.

Wahai orang berilmu, janganlah apa yang dimiliki orang lain, membuatmu lupa terhadap apa yang kamu miliki.

Wahai orang berilmu, ajaklah bicara para `ulama, bergaulah dengan mereka dan dengarkanlah perkataan mereka dan janganlah kamu menentangnya.

Wahai orang berilmu, agungkanlah ulama karena ilmu mereka dan janganlah kamu menghormati orang-orang bodoh karena kebodohan mereka, namun jangan menjauhi mereka, tetapi dekatilah dan ajarilah mereka.

Wahai orang berilmu, janganlah kamu membicarakan suatu hadits di suatu majelis sehingga kamu betul-betul memahaminya, dan janganlah menjawab pertanyaan orang hingga engkau tahu persis apa yang diucapkannya kepadamu.

Wahai orang berilmu, janganlah kamu tertipu oleh Allah dan jangan pula kamu tertipu oleh manusia. Tertipu oleh Allah maksudnya meninggalkan perintah-Nya, dan tertipu oleh manusia maksudnya mengikuti hawa nafsu mereka. Takutlah kepada Allah dalam semua hal yang Dia mengajakmu takut terhadap diri-Nya, dan hindarilah manusia karena fitnah mereka.

Wahai orang berilmu, cahaya siang tidaklah sempurna kecuali dengan matahari, begitu pula hikmah tidak sempurna kecuali dengan menaati Allah subhanallahu wa ta’ala.

Wahai orang berilmu, tanaman tidak baik kecuali dengan air dan tanah, begitu pula dengan iman tidak baik kecuali dengan ilmu dan amal.

Wahai orang berilmu, setiap musafir haruslah berbekal, dan ia dapatkan bekalnya apabila ia dibutuhkannya, begitu pula dengan setiap orang yang beramal, di akhirat akan ia dapatkan apa yang telah diperbuatnya di dunia apabila ia butuhkan amal perbuatannya.

Wahai orang berilmu, Apabila Allah subhanallahu wa ta’ala berkehendak mendorongmu dalam beribadah kepadaNya, ketahuilah bahwa Dia ingin menampakkan karamah-Nya terhadapmu, maka janganlah kamu mengalihkannya kepada selainNya, sehingga kamu tinggalkan kemuliaanNya dan malah kamu dapatkan kehinaan hidup.

Wahai orang berilmu, Jika kamu memindahkan batu atau besi, itu lebih ringan bagimu daripada berbicara kepada orang yang tidak menerima pembicaraanmu, perumpamaan orang yang berbicara kepada orang yang tidak menerima pembicaraannya adalah seperti orang yang memanggil orang mati dan meletakkan hidangan untuk penghuni kubur”.

PERBEDAAN ULAMA

Ketika menjelaskan sikap masyarakat terhadap ulama dan Fatwa,Syekh Ibn Utsaimin berkata :

Ulama ada 3 macam : Ulama Agama,ulama Negara ,dan Ulama Publik.

Ulama Agama adalah orang yang menyebarkan agama Islam, memfatwakan agama Islam berdasarkan ilmu, dan dia tidak peduli apakah yg diajarkan agama itu sesuai dengan keinginan orang – orang./public.

Ulama Negara adalah Orang yang mengeluarkan fatwa dengan mempertimbangkan keinginan Negara, meskipun harus menyelewengkan ajaran Kitabullah dan Sunnah Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam.

Ulama Publik adalah orang yang mempertimbangkan kehendak public.Jika public  menghendaki sesuatu, maka diapun mengeluarkan fatwa  yang menyenangkan mereka(public),lalu berusaha memelintir makna nash nash Kitabullah dan Sunnah Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam agar sesuai  dengan hawa nafsu manusia.
