assalamualaikum warahmatullah...

nih ada sikit pengisian dari meeting semalam...

kalimah thayibah

Lailahaillallah Muhammadurrasulullah

what is so special about this kalimah... its not a compilation of letters.. when we utter it ... it can change something.. like a form of magic... dia bukan mantera.. yg sesiapa pun bleh lafazkan without knowing the meaning of it... kalimah nih sungguh powerful... utk lafazkannya kene dtg dgn fully kekuatan... we have to understand not only the meaning of the kalimah itself.. but also.. the responsibility.. the tanggungjawab... the tuntutan yg kene go together with the kalimah...

kalimah ini membezakan antara kafir dan muslim.. impure and pure... from deserving Allah's displeasure to deserves to be loved by Allah... from going to hell.. now the gates of Heaven are open for him... being accepted into the Muslim ummah.. have rights to inheretate... the power of kalimah is thus so strong that it takes precedence even over blood ties... it can join strangers together into a nation... it also can cut members of the same family off from each other... masyaAllah...

saying it means 2 things... firstly .. we deny every god in this world... keluarkan segalanya yg bleh jadi ilah kita... termasuklah tv.. radio.. komputer.. telephone.. everything..then kita isi hati kita dgn Allah... there is no God except Allah... we accept that the same God is the king.. the master of all universe... saya.. anda.. kita and everything in this world belong to Him alone..He is the creator and a provider.. both life and death is in His command... trouble.. is given by Him... hanya kpd Dia kita harus takut... dan hanya Dia tpt mengadu... from Him alone we bows our head... pd Dia sj tpt kita meminta... we have to obey Him and abide His law... only Him alone...

by doing that we make the entire universe as our witness... if we violate this convenant... our hands.. feet... even the tiniest hair in our body... even the smallest kuman in the world ... earth's and heaven's all that witness us breaking the pledge.. will testify against us in the God's court.. masa nih... tak ada sapa yg akan menyebelahi kita.. our lips are sealed...we will be standing in the hopeless position...

the second part of the kalimah muhammadurrasulullah... the prophet... akhlaknya seperti Al-Quran... he showed us the way we should lead our lives...he is the perfect human being in the world... hanya dgn mengikuti sunnah kita akan selamat... when we say muhammadurrasulullah we pledge to follow the way and law given by him and to reject anything whic turns counter to it... thats it... as simple as that... see... He give u Al-Quran... plus He sends u the most beautiful.. gentle... sempurna.. man in the world.. rasulullah... apa nak lagi... ikut je la...

Allah umpamakan kalimah thayibah dlm al-quran... surah ibrahim... ayat 24-27...

are u not aware how God sets forth the parable of kalimah thayyibah? it is like a good tree- firmly rooted its branches reaching into heaven... it gives its fruits every moment by the permission of its Lord.. so God sets forth parables unto men that they may bethink themselves... and the parable of kalimah khabithah.. (evil word) is like a corrupt tree.. uprooted from the earth.. having no permanence.. god grants frimness unto those who have believed in the firm word .. in the present life and in the world to come.. and the wrongdoers He lets go astray... for God does whatever He will.. (translation english lagi best.. )

see... Allah umpamakan kalimah tayyibah dgn sepohon pokok yg cantik.. baik..yg berdiri tegak.. teguh.. yg rantingnya menjulang hingga ke langit... yg mengeluarkan buah setiap saat dengan izin Allah... bayangkan... dgn pokok yg baik ini... kita boleh berteduh bawah dia.. buah dia kita leh makan.. daun dia leh bagi kat lembu.. then kita makan lembu tu... ranting dia boleh buat kayu api.. batangnya boleh dibuat balak utk buat rumah... setiap apa yg ada pd pokok ini kita leh amik iktibar.... cam tu jugak org yg believe in kalimah tayyibah.. membawa berkat ke seluruh alam...

on the other hand.. kalimah khabithah nih pulak... is pokok yg kita taknak.. yg tumbuh meliar... spt paku pakis di hutan... akarnya tak firm.. even a child can pull it off... batangnya berduri... bukan saja org yg nak pull it akan sakit.. maybe parasite nih akan bawak mudarat dekat menda2 lain sekitar dia jugak... daunnya.. beracun... sapa yg makan.. ntah2 boleh mati... itulah perumpaan the evil word..

fikir .. fikir.. dan terus berfikir... gunakan Al-Quran sbg guidance... Allah has facilitate us with everything... Dia buat perumpamaan yg senang.. yg boleh diterima akal kita... fikir dan amik iktibar... allahualam...
