Peranan sebagai Khalifah

Sejak kewujudan Adam a.s , perjalanan kehidupan di ( Syurga ) pada tika itu dilimpahkan nikmat yang tidak terhingga . Tetapi setelah penciptaan Hawa sebagai teman hidup Adam a.s , syaitan serta kuncu-kuncunya telah merencanakan pakatan jahat bagi menjatuhkan Adam dan Hawa ke dalam kebinasaan dan dimurkai oleh Tuhan. Akhirnya Adam dan Hawa tewas dihasut oleh syaitan lalu keduanya digelincirkan oleh syaitan dari syurga itu dan diturunkan ke dunia. Itulah sedikit kisah bagaimana dari awal penciptaan Adam dan Hawa hingga ke hari ini mempunyai banyak onak dan duri.

Kini dunia memerlukan pentadbir yang mampu mentadbir dunia dengan baik lagi harmoni. Pentadbir disini adalah diri kita. Kita adalah makluk ciptaan Tuhan yang sebaik-baik ciptaan. Kita juga adalah khalifah dimuka bumi ini yang wajib mentadbir dunia dengan baik yang berpaksikan al-Quran dan al-Sunnah. Walaupun begitu, masih ada kekurangannya yang perlu ditampung dan dibaiki bagi melihatnya di dalam keadaan yang kelihatan sempurna. Jika direnungkan kembali kenapa manusia dijadikan di muka bumi ini? Jawabannya ialah untuk ubbudiah kepada Allah s.w.t yang Maha Pencipta dan Maha Berkuasa di seluruh ‘Alam. Allah berfirman di dalam al-Quran yang bermaksud :

“Dan (ingatlah) Aku tidak menciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan untuk mereka menyembah dan beribadat kepadaKu.”
( Adz- Dzaariyaat 51 : 56 )

Di dalam ayat yang lain yang bermaksud :

“Dan (ingatlah) ketika Tuhanmu berfirman kepada malaikat: Sesungguhnya Aku hendak menjadikan seorang khalifah di bumi. Mereka bertanya (tentang hikmat ketetapan Tuhan itu dengan berkata): Adakah Engkau (Ya Tuhan kami) hendak menjadikan di bumi itu orang yang akan membuat bencana dan menumpahkan darah (berbunuh-bunuhan), padahal kami sentiasa bertasbih dengan memujiMu dan mensucikanMu?. Tuhan berfirman: Sesungguhnya Aku mengetahui akan apa yang kamu tidak mengetahuinya.
( Al-Baqarah 02: 30 )

Disini Allah menjelaskan bahawa penciptaan khalifah di bumi adalah dibawah pengetahuan Tuhan Yang Maha Mengetahui. Ianya juga amat bererti di sisi Allah s.w.t untuk menciptakannya dan seterusnya untuk mentadbir bumi ini. Allah jua yang mengutuskan para Rasul sebagai khalifah di muka bumi sebagai petunjuk jalan kebenaran yang mana di zaman itu di penuhi dengan zaman kegelapan dan kejahilan. Dari Nabi Adam a.s hingga Nabi Muhammad s.a.w iaitu nabi akhir zaman diberikan amanah sebagai pesuruh di jalan Allah. Dan seterusnya kepada para sahabat , tabi’ tab’iin hinggalah umat Muhammad s.a.w di hari ini.

“Kemudian Kami jadikan kamu (wahai umat Muhammad) khalifah-khalifah di bumi menggantikan mereka yang telah dibinasakan itu, supaya Kami melihat apa pula corak dan bentuk kelakuan yang kamu akan lakukan.”
( Yunus 11 : 14)

Hakikat penciptaan manusia ialah manusia dilahirkan sebagai khalifah dengan menjadikan al-Quran dan al-Sunnah sebagai panduan. Khalifah mempunyai peranan yang amat besar di dalam kehidupan di dunia hari ini. Baik dan buruk kehidupan hari ini bergantung kepada khalifah yang mengetuainya. Tetapi khalifah pada asalnya ialah khalifah yang terserlah kehebatannya dan kekuatannya dalam menerajui sesuatu kafilah atau kaum. Khalifah disini ialah seluruh umat Islam yang mana diketuai oleh khalifah yang mempunyai ilmu pengetahuan agama Islam yang mendalam dan dipilih berdasarkan syura. Sebagai contoh khalifah Ar- Rasyidin yang dilantik berdasarkan syura mengikut peringkat serta kredibiliti khalifah setelah kewafatan Nabi yang Ummi iaitu Muhammad s.a.w di zaman tersebut.

Khalifah juga adalah seorang da’ie yang berjuang tanpa gentar di jalan Allah. Dengan kata yang lain berjihad fi sabilillah tidak kira tenaga, harta atau wang ringgit, anak juga isteri semuanya ini sanggup di tinggalkan dan dikorbankan semata-mata kerana Allah. Semuanya ini dijadikan dagangan di dalam perniagaan ( kebajikan ) untuk menegakkan Islam di muka bumi ini.

“ Dan berjihadlah kamu pada jalan Allah dengan jihad yang sebenar-benarnya Dialah yang memilih kamu (untuk mengerjakan suruhan agamanya) dan Dia tidak menjadikan kamu menanggung sesuatu keberatan dan susah payah dalam perkara agama, agama bapa kamu Ibrahim. Dia menamakan kamu: Orang-orang Islam semenjak dahulu dan di dalam (Al-Quran) ini, supaya Rasulullah (Muhammad) menjadi saksi yang menerangkan kebenaran perbuatan kamu dan supaya kamu pula layak menjadi orang-orang yang memberi keterangan kepada umat manusia (tentang yang benar dan yang salah). Oleh itu, dirikanlah sembahyang dan berilah zakat, serta berpegang teguhlah kamu kepada Allah! Dialah Pelindung kamu. Maka (Allah yang demikian sifatNya) Dialah sahaja sebaik-baik Pelindung dan sebaik-baik Pemberi pertolongan.”

( Al-Hajj 22 : 78 )

Sesungguhnya Islam adalah satu agama yang luas yang merangkumi seluruh kehidupan di alam ini. Maka setiap khalifah seharusnya memainkan peranan serta tanggungjawab yang telah diamanahkan dengan tersusun dan baik yang mesti dilakukan semampu-mampunya hatta dengan nyawa sendiri. “Setiap kamu adalah pengawas dan setiap kamu akan dipertanggungjawab terhadap apa yang di awasinya.”.

Menegak yang maaruf dan mencegah kemungkaran merupakan peranan khalifah. Adalah satu kewajipan khalifah untuk menegakkan kebaikan dan mencegah kemungkaran walaupun susah untuk dilaksanakan dan ianya memerlukan daya usaha yang bersungguh-sungguh untuk mencapai keredhaanNya. Sebagai seorang khalifah yang beriman dan bertakwa kepada Allah, ianya memerlukan kekuatan diri samada dari segi ilmu pengetahuan Islam yang tinggi, syaksiah atau pribadi yang baik. Khalifah disini ialah khalifah yang sanggup berkata benar walaupun pahit apabila berhadapan dengan raja atau pemerintah yang zalim. Dari sudut yang lain pula ialah khalifah yang sanggup ditegur oleh rakyatnya untuk kebaikan bersama sekiranya berlaku kesilapan dalam mentadbir.

Dan sebagaimana peristiwa pemerintahan Khalifah Umar Al-Khatab yang telah ditegur oleh orang yang dipimpinnya tentang kepimpinannya pada masa itu. Ianya diterima baik oleh Khalifah Umar Al-Khatab r.a.

Dari Abi Said Al-khudri r.a, katanya : “ Aku mendengar Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda :” Barangsiapa di antara kamu yang melihat kemungkaran, maka hendaklah ia mengubahnya dengan tangannya ( kuasanya ). Sekiranya ia tiada berkuasa maka hendaklah ia mengubahnya dengan lidahnya ( nasihatnya ) . Sekiranya ia tiada berkuasa maka hendaklah ia mengubahkannya dengan hatinya ( tidak meredhai perbuatan tersebut ) . Dan yang demikian adalah selemah-lemah iman .

( Hadis ke 34 dari himpunan hadis 40 ( An- Nawawi ) )

Dari sudut yang lain pula, Khalifah perlulah adil dan amanah dalam menentukan sesuatu tindakan atau hukuman. Khalifah hendaklah mengikut aturan syariat yang telah ditetapkan barulah ianya dilaksanakan dan berserah kepada Allah s.w.t.

“Sesungguhnya Allah menyuruh kamu supaya menyerahkan segala jenis amanah kepada ahlinya (yang berhak menerimanya) dan apabila kamu menjalankan hukum di antara manusia, (Allah menyuruh) kamu menghukum dengan adil. Sesungguhnya Allah dengan (suruhanNya) itu memberi pengajaran yang sebaik-baiknya kepada kamu. Sesungguhnya Allah sentiasa Mendengar, lagi sentiasa Melihat.”
( An- Nisa’04 : 58 )

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Janganlah kamu mengkhianati (amanah) Allah dan RasulNya dan (janganlah) kamu mengkhianati amanah-amanah kamu, sedang kamu mengetahui (salahnya).”

( Al-Anfal 08 : 27 )

Keadilan juga hendaklah seiringan dengan ketakwaan serta keimanan pada diri seorang yang bergelar khalifah. Tidak indah jika hanya adil dari segi zahir zahaja tetapi tidak secara spritualnya. Keadilan juga hendaklah keadilan sejagat tidak kira agama, bangsa atau kaum. Kerana melalui keadilan ini akan terbit perasaan al- hubb di antara insani. Inilah yang ditekankan di dalam Islam satu agama yang penyayang dan kasih sayang.

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, hendaklah kamu semua sentiasa menjadi orang-orang yang menegakkan keadilan kerana Allah, lagi menerangkan kebenaran dan jangan sekali-kali kebencian kamu terhadap sesuatu kaum itu mendorong kamu kepada tidak melakukan keadilan. Hendaklah kamu berlaku adil (kepada sesiapa jua) kerana sikap adil itu lebih hampir kepada takwa dan bertakwalah kepada Allah, sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui dengan mendalam akan apa yang kamu lakukan.”
( Al-Maidah 05 : 08 )

Oleh itu setiap sesuatu yang Allah jadikan dimuka bumi ini semuanya ada peranan yang tersendiri. Ciptaan Tuhan termasuk tumbuh-tumbuhan, binatang, bukit bukau , malaikat , jin dan juga manusia. Walaupun begitu manusia menjadi pilihan Allah untuk mentadbir dunia ini tidak pada ciptaan yang lain. Semuanya ini hanya Tuhan Yang Maha Esa yang Maha Berkuasa, tiada yang dapat menyekutukanNya kerana Allah, Tuhan yang terawal dan terakhir…

ICT,GLOBALIZATION AND SMART SCHOOL

INTRODUCTION

The Malaysian government is preparing to meet the challenges of globalization as part of its strategy of becoming a developed country as envisaged in the national agenda, Vision 2020. Vision 2020 was introduced in 1991 and summarized the essence of Malaysia’s plan for economic transformation. Vision 2020 emphasized that Malaysia had to embrace the knowledge economy in order to become globally competitive. Creating an Information Communication Technology (ICT) literate society was a central platform in achieving that transformation. Thus, the National Information Technology Council was established three years late to advise the government on ICT policies as well as provide assistance with implementing them. The council launched the National IT Agenda in December 1996 to promote the wider application of ICT across many economic sectors. Therefore the concepts of E-community, E-public services, E-learning included the Smart School Project. The Malaysian Smart School Project’s attempt to enhance the teaching learning process at the primary and secondary schools level.

DEFINITION

INFORMATION COMMUNICATION OF TECHNOLOGY: Use of systems such as computers and telecommunications for storing, retrieving and sending information.

GLOBALIZATION: Develop or operate worldwide. It can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together.

SMART SCHOOL: A Learning practices in order to prepare children for the information and communication technologies era.

ICT IN MALAYSIA SCHOOLS:
In Tun mahathir Mohamad era, Malaysia was changed rapidly in education system while each country in the world run fast to achieve their aim in globalization. He wants to be education systems so global and must teach and learn more critical in other language and use ICT in class to get same with other country like English language is second language in the world. So, he emphasized:-

 Schools were encouraged to set up computer clubs to complement with hardware that the government could provide.
 The earlier effort was to teach computer literacy to familiarize students with computers.
 The Ministry of Education decided to incorporate computing across the subjects.
 Malaysia had significant input in the production and usage of most ICT systems.
 The strategies that involve people would focus on education, skill development and acculturation.
Beside that, for education, the programme included; smart learning for all, schools connected to the internet, basic computer literacy programme for all and electronic distance

GLOBALIZATION
According that, each country really faced it in life as one of country in this world have a target, he also have to adapt it in Malaysia society to think and make something different for the future. It significant to all teachers and students more confident, more creative and more analytical when using technology in school. As we know:-

 The globalization of the economy and society has its impact on and has been influenced by research and education.
 In the case of Malaysia, the policy of liberalization and democratization of education sees a sudden upsurge of foreign students studying in Malaysia as from 1996, when the government introduced the Higher Education Act.
 Term such as ‘International Education’ and ‘Global Education’ has been the expression of this development.
 Malaysia needs to acquire global competencies, either in the curriculum, administrative easiness in order to make its location strategic choices for post-secondary education.
 The globalization of markets and competition, rapid technological changes.





HISTORY OF MALAYSIAN SMART SCHOOL

Early in 1996, the Ministry of Education was involved in intense discussion about Smart Schools: the concept and its implications on the Malaysian Education system. By late 1996, the Smart School had become one of the seven flagship applications of the Multimedia Super Corridor. In January 197, the Ministry of Education conceptualized the vision of the Malaysian Smart School in the document Smart School in the document Smart School in Malaysia: Quantum Leap. The blueprint is an elaboration and refinement of that vision and its features.
Malaysia intends to transform its educational system, in line with and in support of the nation’s drive to fulfil Vision 2020. This Vision calls for sustained, productivity-driven growth, which will be achievable only with a technologically literate, critically thinking work force prepared to participate fully in the global economy of the 21st century. At the same time, Malaysia’s National Philosophy of Education calls for “developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically balanced and harmonious.” The catalyst for this massive transformation will be technology supported Smart Schools, which will improve how the educational system achieves the National Philosophy of Education, while fostering the development of a work force prepared to meet the challenges of the next century.
Transforming the educational system will entail changing the culture and practices of Malaysia’s primary and secondary school, moving away from memory-based learning designed for the average student to an education that stimulates thinking, creativity, and caring in all students, caters to individual abilities and learning styles, and is based on more equitable access. It will require students to exercise greater responsibility for their own education, while seeking more active participation by parents and the wider community.
The Smart Schools initiative is one of the seven flagship applications that are part of Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) project. The Government of Malaysia aims to capitalise on the presence of leading-edge technologies and the rapid development of the MSC’s infrastructure to jumpstart deployment of enabling technology to schools. This will be done by creating a group of 90 pilot Smart Schools by 1999 that will serve as the nucleus for the eventual nation-wide rollout of Smart School teaching concepts and materials, skills, and technologies. By 2010, all 10,000 of Malaysia’s primary and secondary schools will be Smart Schools.
This Blueprint - like the Smart School concept itself - is a work in progress and remains open to evolutionary refinement, including advances in pedagogy and improvements in information technology. Consequently, this document is descriptive, rather than prescriptive. For a fuller understanding of the Smart School initiative, the Blueprint should be read with the Smart School Implementation Plan, which outlines the implementation process and timetable, and the Concept Requests for Proposals, which define the project’s requirements.

THE MALAYSIAN SMART SCHOOL CONCEPT

The Malaysian Smart School is unique to Malaysia and has been formulated for the needs of Malaysia. It is rather unfortunate that these days the term ‘smart’ connects with computers. As far as the Malaysian Smart School is concerned, the term smart goes beyond using computers and gadgetry. The term ‘smart’ carries the meaning of intelligent, clever, genius and adept in true sense of the word. Nowhere was it indicated that the smartness must be linked to computers. Having said that being able to use the latest technology as a tool to enhance the teaching learning and managing schools is part of being a smart education system. Hence technology is the enabler for the Malaysian Smart Schools.
The Malaysian Smart School is a learning institution systemically reinvented in terms of teaching learning practices and management system. This would prepare the students for the challenges of the information age. The reinvented learning institutions would synergistically utilised the components of the Smart Schools, for instance; the teaching learning, the management and administrations, the human resources, the enabling technology, the schooling processes, and the underlining supporting policies.

SMART SCHOOL CONCEPT VIEW

Tun Mahathir Mohamed, Launch of the MSC 1 August 1996:
Teachers will need to change their role in the electronic classroom from being information provider to counselor to help students develop know how and judgement to select information sources. Key to success in the information age will be making the right judgements between awesome arrays of choices. We are examining our education system to create a curriculum where people learn how to learn for continuing education throughout their lives.

Dato’ Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi, Launch of the MSC Next Leap, 3 July 2004:
The smart school program will be re-modeled and its implementations fast tracked to enable more schools to benefit, at lower cost of the government. Smart schools will have access to the internet through the school net program, which is already at an advanced stage of implementation. Advanced teaching and learning materials develop through the smart school pilot program will be utilized for teaching, while the Smart School management system will be used to improve administration process.

Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein, Menteri Pelajaran Malaysia, 7 May 2005:
Pembestarian sekolah adalah selaras dengan hasrat perdana menteri, Datuk seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi untuk menjadi sekolah-sekolah awam lebih berdaya saing, kondusif dan moden mengikut arus pembangunan semasa. Dalam proses pembestarian sekolah sasaran kementerian ialah untuk meningkatkan nisbah komputer kepada murid, masa dedahan murid dan guru kepada penggunaan komputer dan mengaplikasikan teknologi yang berkesan dari segi kos.

SMART SCHOOL MANAGEMENT
The objectives of Smart School Management are to efficiently and effectively manage the resources and processes to required and support the teaching and learning functions of the school. Smart school management functions are categorised into nine broad areas which are; School Governance, Student Affairs, Educational Resources, External Resources, Financial, Facilities, Human Resources, Security and Technology.

First, School Governance component will be primarily concerned with the day- to- day management of school- wide policies and operations. The components are communications, school policy making, curriculum management and community involvement. The characteristic of school governance is to empower rapid relay of relevant information to and from all stakeholders. Besides that, it is also to manage curriculum which is appropriate to the local teaching and learning environment. The benefit from this area is to get better school and community relationship. Other than that, the teaching and learning process will be more effective. Students will use their local environment for learning.

Second, Student Affairs component will be concerned with managing students’ record and all other matters pertaining to students. It includes student profiles, performance evaluations, test administration, counseling, insurance, health and others. The characteristic of this area is comprehensive student record system for the storage, retrieval and reporting of all students data. It is also flexible for off- site registration process. As a result, it shows the ability to effectively and efficiently manage attendance and respond to problem situations. Besides that, students’ data will be available online to those who need it and it will be on restricted access. Other than that, it will make registration easy for students, parents and administrators.

This service will help to improve human resource management in all functional areas. Therefore, it becomes more effective and efficient deployment of teaching and administrative staff.

Next, the security management component is responsible for physical and student safety in the school. It has been categorised to three areas which are physical security, IT security and students safety. It provides comprehensive user- friendly features for physical and IT securities. In addition, it provides security of data which accessible only to authorized personnel. As a result, it will improve physical security asset management and ensures confidentiality of specified data. It also improves security and greater safety for students.

Lastly, the technology management implements, maintains and manages the technological components of the school. This area divides to several parts which are system implementation, system maintenance, training and field support management. It provides comprehensive day- to- day management of network, databases, IT hardware, and IT resources. In addition, it will be more realistic long term planning for development of IT capability in school. Therefore, it ensures the efficiency of policy development and management. Other than that, it leads to efficient and effective field support capability. All aspects of IT function are managed in an effective way.

CONCLUSION

With the good strategy of learning teaching materials Smart School will become the new approach in the development of education in this country. Smart school can produce good students with the good ICT and technologies skill for the future country development. It also can be seen that educational in our country are develop very well in to make sure that students are prepared with the globalization world.

The Ministry of Education harbored high hopes for the project and planned to turn all schools into Smart Schools by the year 2010. Meanwhile, any school wishing to be upgraded to a Smart School status before the actual 2002, the year the pilot project would end and was encouraged to do so own their own.

Malaysian Smart School is an integrated project that involved teaching and learning, management and administration, human resources, skills and responsibility and finally technology. Therefore, technology is only a part of the Smart School initiative. Putting computers into schools would not automatically turn the schools into Smart Schools as envisioned by the Government.

Hari demi hari, kita mendengar banyak perkara yang berlaku di sekeliling kita. Satu demi satu, ianya semakin menjadi-jadi tika kita asyik bersuka ria bersama teman-teman, sahabat handai di kampus, tapi ianya tidak seindah yang kita idamkan.

Seorang meningkat dua, tiga.., bilangannya makin tidak terkira apabila memikirkan nasib Hawa yang sekian kali di ratah, di robek oleh sang lelaki durjana yang bertopengkan syaitan laknatullah. Dimanakah sifat kemanusiaan yang ada pada seorang yang bergelar Adam tapi telah mengkhianati diri sendiri menjadikan seorang lelaki yang tidak ada pengenalan diri, tidak mengenal asal usul diri sebagai pemimpin yang utama di bumi ini.

Datuk, ayah, abang dan seangkatan dengannya sudah tidak mengenali lagi siapakah nenek,emak, isteri, anak, adik....nafsu buas yang bermaharajalela dalam diri tidak dapat dibendung lagi kerena ketipisan iman, ketandusan amalan, kelonggaran kemaluan malah menganggap ianya satu kenikmatan serta kepuasan yang tidak bertempat yang patut mereka lakukan tanpa segan silu. Dimanakah sifat mulia yang sebenarnya? adakah masih terkunci di sebalik nafsu?

Kegelisahan pada riak Hawa makin jelas tampak diwajah, kegusaran dan ketakutan makin menghantui episod hidup seorang hawa untuk meniti hari. Tetapi...alangkah sedihnya, kaum sejenisku masih tidak sedar akan amanah yang diberikan Tuhan. Semasa tiupan roh ditiup saat di dlam rahim ibu, semuanya sanggup memikul amanah, tapi semuanya telah berubah pabila celik dibumi yang fana yang pastinya dipenuhi dengan cabaran. Aurat dilupakan, batasan pergaulan dilupakan,ilmu dipinggirkan...

Jika diikutkan pada fikiran kita semua, segalanya terlalu cukup untuk dikecapi oleh Hawa, tapi di ubah oleh seorang wanita yang tidak mempunyai iman yang kukuh untuk menjadikan perisai sebagai tarikan nafsu pada yang tidak sepatutnya. Yang besar dikecilkan, yang labuh disingkatkan, yang hebat senang di tonjolkan. Dimanakah sifat malu???

Ini adalah luahan rasa pada diri penulis sahaja. Untuk peringatan muslimah, selalulah berdoa kehadrat Allah s.w.t semoga selamat dalam melakukan segala hal tidak kiralah ketika berada dirumah mahupun di luar sana. Moga-moga kita semua sentiasa di dlam peliharaanNya. Aminn Ya Rabb..

Doa untuk muslimah untuk dikongsi bersama.Fikirkanlah...




Doa Dari Hadis Sohih : Khusus Elak
Di Rogol & Cabul

Oleh

Terdapat beberapa pertanyaan tentang doa yang khusus bagi kaum wanita samada dewasa dan kanak-kanak untuk mengelakkan mereka dari terperangkap dalam situasi yang boleh membawa kepada rogol, pencabulan dan lebih dahsyat lagi deraan seks yang diakhiri dengan pembunuhan.

Maka di sini, selain doa dari hadis sohih pelindung setiap kali keluar rumah yang telah saya paparkan di artikel berkenaan Al-Marhumah Nurin Jazlin sebelum ini. Iaitu :-

رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يقول من قال بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الذي لَا يَضُرُّ مع اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ في الأرض ولا في السَّمَاءِ وهو السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لم تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ حتى يُصْبِحَ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حين يُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثُ مَرَّاتٍ لم تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ حتى يُمْسِيَ

DALAM sebutan rumi : BISMILLAH ALLAZI LA YADURRU MA'ASMIHI SYAIUN FIL ARDI WA LA FIS SAMAIE , WAHUWAS SAMI'UL 'ALIM

Ertinya : Rasulullah s.a.w didengari berkata sesiapa yang berdoa : "Dengan nama Allah yang tiada dimudaratkan sesuatu apapun dengan namaNya samada di bumi dan di langit, dan Dialah maha mendengar dan maha mengetahui" sebanyak 3 kali, maka ia tidak ditimpa kesusahan bala dan musibah sehinggalah subuh esoknya, dan barangsiapa membacanya ketika subuh 3 kali, ia tidak ditimpa kesusahan bala dan musibah sehingga petangnya" ( Riwayat Abu Daud, 4/323 ; At-Tirmidizi, 5/465 dan Ahmad ; Tirmizi : Hasan - Teks doa berwarna Merah Syeikh Syuaib ; Hasan)

Ingin saya utarakan satu lagi doa sohih yang dibaca oleh isteri Nabi Ibrahim a.s (iaitu Siti Sarah) yang menyebabkan para lelaki zalim termasuk rajanya melarikan diri, saya sertakan sekali sumber rujukannya dari hadis Nabi s.a.w.


اللّهُمَّ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ اني آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ وَأَحْصَنْتُ فرجي إِلاَّ على زوجي فَلاَ تُسَلِّطْ عَلَىَّ الْكَافِرَ


DALAM SEBUTAN RUMI : ALLAHUMMA IN KUNTA TA'LAMU INNI AAMANTU BIKA, WA BIRASULIKA WA AHSONTU FARJI ILLA 'ALA ZAWJI FALA TUSALLIT 'ALAYYA AL-KAFIR WA AZ-ZALIM

Ertinya : Ya Allah, jika engkau mengetahui bahawa aku beriman kepada Mu dan Rasul Mu, dan aku menjaga kehormatanku hanya untuk suamiku, maka lindungilah aku daripada dikuasai oleh orang-orang kafir dan zalim" ( Riwayat Al-Bukhari, no 2104, 2/722 ; Sunan Al-Baihaqi, 5/97; Musnad ahmad, 2/403 ; Fath Al-Bari, 6/393; Umdat Al-Qari, 12/30 ; Sohih )

Semoga ia dapat dihafaz dan di amalkan oleh semua wanita Muslimah, Cuma jangan lupa bahawa doa ini bersoifat tawassul dengan amal soleh anda, iaitu apabila diikat dengan imannya dengan Allah s.w.t dan RasulNya dan telah dijaga kehormatannya dan sudah tentu auratnya.

Justeru, seolah-olah kemaqbulan doa ini juga diikat tentang kewajiban untuk beriman dengan Allah dan rasulNya dan menutup aurat anda. Tanpanya, doa ini masih amat digalakkan untuk dilakukan, cuma jaminan seolah-olah lebih pasti bagi yang apa yang dikatanya (dalam doa ini) menepati apa yang sebenarnya penampilan fizikal anda.

Justeru, jika berbaju kebaya terbelah, baju sendat menampakkan susuk tubuh, berpakaian nipis seolah telanjang, bersolek canggih seperti artis bukan Islam..sudah tentu doa ini sahaja belum cukup mampu menjaga anda. Bukan kerana Allah s.w.t tidak mampu, tetapi Allah s.w.t tidak anggap wanita itu layak dek kerana kedegilannya sendiri.

Ancaman website untuk Islam...

Saya mendapat tahu dari seorang ustaz, satu penghinaan terhadap umat Islam tentang sirah Rasulullah s.a.w. Ianya salah satu laman web biadap yang perlu ditegah kerana ianya menyentuh sensitiviti agama Islam. Saya sudah melihat laman web tersebut, banyak yang telah diselewengkan dan ditokok tambah.

Semoga kita semua berhati-hati dalam menilai sesuatu website yang semakin mencabar seluruh ummah khasnya Islam. Ini laman web yang menghina Rasulullah s.a.w: http://news.faithfreedom.org

Kita juga perlu sedar untuk menangkis segala jenis penghinaan atau penyelewengan adalah dengan ilmu. Dengan adanya ilmu kita boleh menyalurkan dan menyampaikan segala maklumat yang betul untuk dikongsi seluruh pengguna di alam maya ini.
