Seperti yang kita tahu ada 3 perkara yang secara ijma membatalkan puasa iaitu:

1. Makan dan minum dengan sengaja. [Al-Baqarah:187].

2. Haid atau nifas. [Bukhari: 304, Muslim: 79].

3. Bersetubuh di siang hari. [Al-Baqarah:187].

Bagaimana pula memakan ubat?

Jika seseorang itu sakit yang mana sakitnya itu membuatkan dia tidak mampu berpuasa, maka diharuskan untuk tidak berpuasa ketika itu namun perlu di qada di kemudian hari.

Adapun beberapa jenis ubat yang jika diambil, tidak membatalkan puasa. Antaranya ialah,

1. Ubat sapu di kulit.
2. Ubat titisan hidung sebagaimana pandangan Syaikh Haytsam Al Khiyath dan Syaikh ‘Ajil An Nasymiy.
3. Ubat semburan ‘inhaler’.
4. Ubat titisan mata.

Allah SWT menyeru kita agar sentiasa berdoa kepada-Nya melalui firman-Nya:

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدۡعُونِيٓ أَسۡتَجِبۡ لَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدۡخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ

Maksudnya: “Dan Tuhan kamu berfirman: “Berdoalah kamu kepadaKu, nescaya Aku perkenankan doa permohonan kamu. Sesungguhnya orang yang sombong daripada beribadat dan berdoa kepadaKu akan masuk neraka Jahannam dalam keadaan hina.”

Surah al-Ghaafir: Ayat 60

• Ramai daripada kalangan kita tidak mengetahui cara Allah SWT menerima doa hamba-hamba-Nya sehingga mereka menyangka bahawa Allah SWT tidak menerima doa mereka.
• Allah SWT pasti akan memustajabkan setiap doa yang dipanjatkan kepada-Nya tetapi dengan cara yang berbeza. Sama ada terus dimustajabkan permintaan tersebut atau juga ditangguhkan kepada tempoh waktu tertentu.
• Semoga Allah SWT menggolongkan kita daripada kalangan hamba-hamba-Nya yang doanya mustajab. Amin.

Hagia Sophia, originally a cathedral and later converted into a mosque, is a historic landmark located in Istanbul, Turkey. Here are some simple facts about Hagia Sophia:

Historical Background: Hagia Sophia was built as a cathedral by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century AD. It served as the main church of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1,000 years.

Architectural Marvel: The building is renowned for its impressive dome and intricate mosaics. It was considered the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520.

Conversion into a Mosque: After the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in 1453, Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque by Sultan Mehmed II. Minarets were added, and many of the Christian mosaics were covered or removed.

Museum Conversion: In 1935, under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, Hagia Sophia was secularized and turned into a museum. The mosaics were uncovered and restored.

Reconversion into a Mosque: In July 2020, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan signed a decree converting Hagia Sophia back into a mosque. The decision sparked both domestic and international reactions.

UNESCO World Heritage Site: Hagia Sophia was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. Its historical and cultural significance has made it a symbol of the rich heritage of Istanbul.

These facts highlight Hagia Sophia’s multifaceted history, transitioning from a cathedral to a mosque and, most recently, to a mosque again, reflecting its significance in both Christian and Islamic histories.

Masjid Al-Qiblatain is located in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. The name “Qiblatain” comes from the Arabic language, meaning “two qiblas.” Here are some facts about Masjid Al-Qiblatain:

Change of Qibla: The mosque is renowned for a significant event in Islamic history, the change of qibla (prayer direction) mandated by Allah to Prophet Muhammad SAW. Initially, Muslims were required to face the Kaaba in Makkah during prayers. However, in an event at Masjid Qiblatain, Allah commanded Prophet Muhammad to change the qibla direction to Masjidil Haram in Makkah.

Geographical Location: Masjid Al-Qiblatain is situated southwest of Masjid An-Nabawi in Madinah, approximately two kilometers from the city center.

Minbar (Pulpit): Inside the mosque, there is a pulpit where Prophet Muhammad SAW delivered sermons. The pulpit signifies the historical location where the first announcement of the change of qibla was made.

Historical Preservation: Despite undergoing changes and expansions over the years, efforts have been made to preserve and maintain the history and authenticity of the mosque.

All these facts reflect the historical significance of Masjid Al-Qiblatain in the early development of Islam and the crucial event related to the change of qibla in the practice of prayer.

Here are some interesting facts about the Prophet’s Mosque:

Early Construction: The Prophet’s Mosque was built by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) after his migration to Madinah in 622 CE. Initially, it was a simple structure made of mud and camel’s dung.

Expansions: The mosque has undergone several expansions since its initial construction. Each caliph and Islamic ruler expanded it to accommodate the growing number of worshippers. The latest expansion was carried out by King Fahd in 1990.

Tomb of Prophet Muhammad: Inside the mosque, there is the tomb of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), located in a closed area to the south of the mosque. The tomb is separate from the prayer area and is not accessible to the congregation.

Tombs of Abu Bakr and Umar: The mosque also houses the tombs of two main companions of Prophet Muhammad, namely Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and Umar bin Khattab. Their tombs are situated on the right and left sides of the Prophet’s tomb.

Nabawi Mihrab: The mihrab in the Prophet’s Mosque indicates the direction of the qibla for performing prayers. It is adorned with beautiful Islamic decorations and calligraphy.

Raudhah: Raudhah is a special area inside the mosque considered one of the most blessed sections. The Prophet mentioned that this area is part of the gardens of paradise.

The Prophet’s Mosque holds significant historical and religious value for the Islamic community and is considered one of the holiest places, second only to the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah.

Firman Allah SWT :

هَلْ جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ

Yang Bermaksud: “Tidak ada balasan kebaikan kecuali kebaikan (pula).”

Surah Ar-Rahman: 60

• Maka berbuat baiklah. Kerana kebaikan tersebut akan kembali kepada diri anda sendiri.

Firman Allah SWT:

إِنْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ

Yang Bermaksud:“Jika kamu berbuat kebaikan, maka kebaikan yang kamu lakukan adalah untuk diri kamu.”

Surah Al-Isra: 7

Masjid Al-Haram, situated in the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, holds a paramount significance in Islam as the holiest mosque. Central to its sanctity is the Kaaba, a cubic structure housed within the mosque, towards which Muslims globally turn during their daily prayers. The mosque’s historical and religious significance predates Islam, with traditions suggesting that the Kaaba was built by the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail (Ishmael). As the focal point of the Hajj pilgrimage, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, Masjid Al-Haram welcomes millions of worshippers each year, fostering a sense of unity and spiritual connection among the Muslim community.

The mosque itself has undergone numerous expansions and renovations throughout history, reflecting the growth of Islam and the increasing number of pilgrims. The current structure covers a vast area and features distinctive architectural elements, including the towering minarets and the iconic black and gold Kiswah, or cloth covering the Kaaba. The Grand Mosque’s capacity has been continually expanded to accommodate the ever-growing number of worshippers, reaching its zenith during the annual Hajj pilgrimage when millions gather for a collective spiritual experience.

Masjid Al-Haram stands as a symbol of unity, devotion, and the deep-rooted traditions of Islam. Its spiritual aura and historical significance make it a revered site for Muslims worldwide, drawing millions to Mecca each year to fulfill their religious obligations and experience the profound sense of connection with the Islamic faith and its shared heritage.

Allah says in Quran:

وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مَخۡرَجٗا وَيَرۡزُقۡهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَحۡتَسِبُۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسۡبُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَٰلِغُ أَمۡرِهِۦۚ قَدۡ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدۡرٗا

” And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things.”

Surah at-Talaaq: Ayah 2-3

• May Allah grant you all these forms of Rizq.

حَسۡبِيَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

“Allāh is sufficient for me. Lā ilāha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of The Mighty Throne.”

Surah At-Tawbah: Ayah 129
