KELEBIHAN SURAH AL-MULK

Source : http://nuursyifa.blogspot.com/

Surah Al Mulk adalah surah keamanan dan keselamatan, kerana ia menyelamatkan pembaca-pembacanya dari siksa kubur. Sejarah telah membuktikan seperti yang berlaku di zaman Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam. Ibnu Abbas menceritakan:

"Pernah suatu ketika setengah para sahabat berkhemah di atas kubur. Mereka sebenarnya tidak menyangka tempat itu adalah kubur. Setelah beberapa ketika berada di dalam khemah, mereka tiba-tiba terdengar suara orang membaca Surah Al Mulk dari mula hinggalah akhirnya. Suara itu datangnya dari dalam tanah. Tahulah mereka, sebenarnya mereka sedang berkhemah di atas kubur. chanel handbags Kemudian hal itu diadukan kepada Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam lalu baginda bersabda yang bermaksud: "Surah Al Mulk adalah surah pelepasan kerana ia menghindar pembacanya dari azab neraka."

Meskipun begitu, Surah Al Mulk juga mempunyai kelebihan-kelebihan yang lain. Di sini penulis bentangkan sebahagian daripadanya sahaja. Diantaranya:

1. Abu Hurairah meriwayatkan hadis, katanya yang bermaksud: "Sesungguhnya di dalam Al-Quran itu, ada satu surah yang mengandungi 30 ayat, ia mensyafaat bagi lelaki yang membacanya. Maka selagi mana lelaki itu membacanya, selagi itu pula ia meminta ampun unutuknya. Surah itu ialah surah Al Mulk."

2. Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud: "Surah Al Mulk itu memelihara dan menghindarkan pembacanya dari azab kubur."

3. Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud: "Aku sungguh gembira, sekiranya orang mukmin sentiasa membaca surah Al Mulk sehingga seolah-olah surah itu tertulis di dalam hatinya."

4. Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud: "Barangsiapa membaca surah Al Mulk setiap malam, diselamatkannya dari azab kubur."

5. Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud: "Sesiapa membaca surah Al Mulk pada mana-mana malam, nescaya datang ke dalam kuburnya surah itu sebagai pengganti untuk bersoal jawab dengan Munkar Nakir.

6. Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud: "Sesungguhnya di dalam Al-Quran ada satu surah yang terkandung 30 ayat. Surah itu ialah surah Al Mulk. Ia akan datang kepada pembacanya untuk membantu bersoal jawab dalam kubur sehinggalah mereka selamat masuk ke dalam Syurga."

7. Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud: "Sebahagian surah-surah yang terdapat di dalam Al-Quran ada satu surah yang mengandungi 30 ayat. Surah itu surah Al Mulk. Ia memberi syafaat kepada orang yang membacanya dengan mengeluarkannya dari Neraka dan memasukkannya ke dalam Syurga."

8. Ulama berkata: "Sesungguhnya Rasulullah Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam tidak akan beradu melainkan setelah membaca surah As Sajadah dan surah Al Mulk."

9. Ulama berkata: "Sesungguhnya surah Al Mulk itu melepaskan pengamal-pengamalnya dari kena azab. Ia akan bersoal jawab pada hari kiamat di hadapan tuhan kerana menuntut kelepasan mereka yang mengamalkannya dari azab api Neraka."

10. Saiyidina 'Ali berkata: "Barangsiapa mengamalkan surah Al Mulk, nescaya dibawa ia pada hari kiamat di atas sayap malaikat serta wajahnya yang cantik seperti nabi Yusuf."

11. Ulama berkata: "Sesungguhnya surah Yasin dan surah Al Mulk terkandung di dalamnya beberapa rahsia dan kelebihan. Barangsiapa mengamalkannya nescaya ia mendapat rahsia-rahsia dan kelebihan-kelebihan itu serta dikasihi oleh semua manusia dan juga menjadi hebat pada pandangan makhluk."

12. Saiyidina 'Abdullah bin Abbas berkata: "Barangsiapa membaca surah Al Mulk sehingga menjadi amalan wiridnya, nescaya ia mendapat bantuan dan pertolongan dari Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala di dalam kuburnya. Bila azab hendak datang ke pihak kepala, terdengar satu seruan: "Tidak boleh engkau datang ke pihak kepala ini kerana ada surah Al Mulk."
Begitulah keadaanya bila azab itu pergi ke pihak kaki dan perutnya. Kerana semuanya mengandungi surah Al Mulk."

No Wazīfa* is more effective than Duā’ (Suplication).

http://qafila.wordpress.com/


In a discourse Maulāna Ashraf Ali Thānvi rehmatullāhi alayh said,

One person has sent a letter that he is indebted and needs an effective wazīfa. I replied that there is no better wazīfa in effect than Dua’.

People have stopped asking Allāh. The connection between the slave and Allāh has weakened a lot. The perception of people in this matter is very corrupt, and one thing which is even more harmful than this is when the wazīfa does not work, they start to doubt the ability of the verses of Allāh. This further corrupts ones belief.

All this is because of the ignorant Āmilīn (expert in issuing wazīfa). All they learn is to give a wazīfa for every little thing. They do not even see if the person is capable or not. Over and above that, while they issue these wazāif they use such a confident tone that the questioner becomes sure that the problem will be solved through this measure, and there is no doubt in it.

Now if what was destined is contrary to what they hoped for, then the belief of such an individual comes in great danger. His belief in the verse of Allāh weakens. The result of such a weakened belief ought to be that the dua’ doesn’t get accepted.

Look, the matter is very simple. If we give $2.00 to someone per month and then we find out that he doubts our ability to give him that money, then such bad thoughts (regarding us) will cause us not to give him any money at all. chanel handbags But Allāh is so merciful that He hears all the hue and cry and yet continues to give the sustenance. Surely, Allāh is most merciful.

Malfuzāt Hakīmul Ummat Malfuz # 92 – vol. 1 pg. 86

* Wazīfa (pl. Wazāif) literally means a stipend or dosage, but in sulūk every murīd has specific amount of dhikr or recitation of a specific phrase or verse which is given. These recitations have a lasting effect in the long run.

How to attain Allah's mercy (Tips)

How to attain Allah's mercy [Tips]

source: http://www.quranclub.net(by Ikram Kurdi)

The Quran has a lot of simple, yet profound, advice for us that we tend to ignore.

Do you find yourself in need of Allah's mercy? Here is how you can get it:

اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

"Be conscious of Allah so that you may be given mercy." [Holy Quran, 49:10]

We have to think about Allah every now and then if we want to be conscious of Him. If you forget His presence for hours on end, chanel handbags you'll know you are not that conscious of Him.

To improve your consciousness, read more Quran and make it a habit to thank Allah for everything that happens to you during the day.

It might be hard at first not to forget Allah, but as Allah says, your solution is to improve your remembrance of Allah during the times that you DO happen to remember Him:

وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَى أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَذَا رَشَدًا

"And remember your Lord if you forget Him and say: May my Lord give me better guidance than what I already have." [Holy Quran, 18:24]

Why does speaking the Truth causes problems

Speaking Truth
SubhaanAllah, I just came across this amazing post at At-Talib:

Why does speaking the Truth causes problems
By Shaykh Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani (db)

Hazrat Maulana [Shabbir Ahmad Usmani] (ra) used to say that if Haqq [a truthful word], in a truthful [proper] manner [of conveying], with a truthful [sincere] intention, is said, then it will never cause fitna. But there are these three conditions, first is that what is being said is the truth, second is that the intention is correct, and the third is that the manner [of conveying the message] is proper.

So if you happen to see anywhere that due to speaking the truth some fitna is arising, or any dispute or argument, then know that from amongst these 3 conditions a condition was unfulfilled: either the message was not the truth; or the niyyah was improper, as the message was the truth but was said with a wrong intention. [For example] the purpose was to show-off or to make oneself be seen as higher, chanel handbags or to lower another; so the niyyah was wrong. Or if the niyyah was also correct then the method [by which the message was conveyed] was incorrect.

If the method was correct, the niyyah was correct, and the message was the truth then it would not have caused fitna. Eventually at one time or another, [the message] would have had its effect but it would not have created fitna.


Translated (from Urdu) from a talk entitled Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi: Lessons from His Life delivered in England on July 30, 2000 by Shaykh Mufti Taqi Usmani (db) at a symposium to commemorate the life of Shaykh Abul Hasan Ali an-Nadwi (ra).

Unlawful Gaze

“A man who gazes at a non-mahram woman is just like a pauper who stares through a shop window and desires items that he cannot afford. The pauper will get nothing by staring through the window. Likewise, a person involved in lustful glances gets nothing but frustration, for he is unable to acquire what he sees and desires.

So why stare at something that you cannot obtain?

Every time you look at a forbidden thing, your desire will grow, and its thought will haunt you even when it is out of sight. chanel handbags When this is the consequence of the unlawful gaze, is it not better to control the gaze at the very outset?”

Genuine Humbleness

“Pride and arrogance come in many forms. One manifestation of pride, which is not easily recognisable, takes the outward form of humility: some people feel the need to outwardly display humility while within they actually think highly of themselves for doing so.

People who are genuinely humble don’t have a high opinion of themselves, but truly believe themselves insignificant and humble. An analogy will help us understand what true humbleness is.

Imagine a sleeping person: while fast asleep he does not know that he is asleep; it is only after waking up that he realises that he had been asleep. Likewise, chanel handbags a person who is humble does not feel that he is being humble; his behaviour is naturally full of humbleness without him knowing it.”
