Make Life Easy For Others

Narrated Anas bin Malik RA, The Prophet ﷺ said:

يَسِّرُوا وَلاَ تُعَسِّرُوا، وَبَشِّرُوا وَلاَ تُنَفِّرُوا

Make things easy for the people, and do not make it difficult for them, and make them calm (with glad tidings) and do not repulse (them).

Sahih al-Bukhari (69)

  • If you have a chance to make things easy for someone, do it. Don’t think twice! It’s from the beautiful Sunnah.
  • May Allah ease any hardship you are going through and bring happiness into your lives.

Doa Agar Sentiasa Bersyukur

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

Maksudnya: ” Ya Allah, bantulah aku dalam berzikir mengingatiMu, bersyukur kepadaMu dan ibadah yang baik kepadaMu.”

Riwayat Abu Daud (1522)

  • Doa ini Rasulullah ﷺ sarankan dibaca setiap kali selepas solat.
  • Semoga kita dapat melatih diri kita untuk sentiasa bersyukur.

Perumpamaan Orang Yang Berzikir Dan Tidak Berzikir

Daripada Abu Musa RA, bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda:

مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ وَالَّذِي لاَ يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ، مَثَلُ الحَيِّ وَالمَيِّتِ

Maksudnya: “Perumpamaan orang yang berzikir kepada Allah SWT dan orang yang tidak berzikir kepada Allah SWT seperti orang yang hidup dan mati.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (6407)

  • Berzikir adalah antara amalan yang dapat menghidupkan hati, memberikan ketenangan rohani dan mengundang rahmat Allah.
  • Lazimkan diri kita untuk berzikir. Semoga Allah memelihara kita dan memberikan kita semua keselamatan di dunia dan di akhirat.

Doa Menghindar Rasa Gelisah, Sedih, Sifat Malas, Kedekut, Bebanan Hutang Dan Ditindas

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

Maksudnya: “Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung kepada Engkau dari kedukaan dan kesedihan, dari sifat lemah dan malas, dari sifat pengecut dan bakhil, dari bebanan hutang dan penindasan manusia.”

Sahih al-Bukhari (6369)

Who Is Tabi’in And Tabi’ al-Tabi’in?

The Tabi’in are those who lived after the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and who did not personally encounter him. Instead, they interacted with and learned from the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

(Tabi’ al-Tabi’in) Individuals who followed the Tabi’in are individuals who encountered the Tabi’in and gained knowledge from them rather than the Companions of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ.

The one who first encountered the Companion is known as the Tabi’i in hadith terminology, although the accurate interpretation does not require that he should have spent a lot of time with him. Everyone who interacted with the Companions and passed away as a Muslim is a Tabi’in, albeit some are more deserving than others.

Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi said: The Tabi‘in is the one who met the Companion. From the words of al-Hakim, it may be understood that the name Tabi‘in may be applied to the one who met the Companion and narrated from him, even if he did not spend time with him.

Example of Tabi’in is: Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib, ‘Urwah ibn az-Zubayr, al-Hasan al-Basri, Muhajid ibn Jabr, Sa‘id ibn Jubayr, ‘Ikrimah the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas, and Nafi‘ the freed slave of Ibn ‘Umar.

Al-Bukhari (3651) and Muslim (2533) narrated from Ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The best of people are my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come people whose testimony will come before their oath, and their oath before their testimony.”

Sunnah: Following the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Sunnah holds a significant place in Islam. It refers to the way of life and actions practiced by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , who serves as a role model for Muslims. Sunnah teaches us how to live a good and righteous life according to the teachings of our faith.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ not only delivered Allah’s message in the form of the Quran but also demonstrated a virtuous life through his actions and words. His actions, whether big or small, are emulated by Muslims as a means to draw closer to Allah.

For instance, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ showed how to perform prayers, give charity, interact with others, and behave ethically in all aspects of life. What he did and said serves as a good guide for us to follow.

Sunnah isn’t just about actions; it also encompasses the noble way of living and morals exemplified by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. For instance, he emphasized the importance of honesty, compassion, and kindness towards all of Allah’s creations.

Following the Sunnah helps us become better human beings and better Muslims. It also helps us draw closer to Allah. By following the example of Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alaihi Wasalam), we learn how to be kind to ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Knowing and following the Sunnah is a part of our faith as Muslims. It guides us to live in a way that is filled with religious and moral values. When we practice the Sunnah, we also honor and remember the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who guided humanity to the right path.

Therefore, as Muslims, we are encouraged to study and practice the Sunnah in our daily lives. This is not only a means to draw closer to Allah but also to become good examples for others. By following the Sunnah, we show respect and love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, strengthen our faith, and deepen our relationship with Allah.

It is good to remember a verse in Surah Ali Imran , 31:

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If you ˹sincerely˺ love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Qana’ah (Merasa Cukup)

Daripada Abu Hurairah RA berkata, Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda:

انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا تَزْدَرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ

Maksudnya: “Lihatlah orang yang lebih rendah daripada kamu dan janganlah kamu melihat orang yang lebih tinggi darjatnya daripada kamu, itulah yang lebih baik supaya kamu tidak merendah-rendahkan nikmat Allah yang dikurniakan kepada kamu”.

Riwayat at-Tirmizi (2513)

  • Buatlah perbandingan nikmat yang kita miliki dengan orang lain yang tidak memilikinya, nescaya kita akan sentiasa bersyukur dan merasa cukup dengan apa yang kita ada.
  • Elakkan dari membuat perbandingan dengan orang yang lebih daripada kita kerana ianya akan menghilangkan rasa bersyukur malah akan mendatangkan rasa kecewa, sedih malah sentiasa berdengki dengan kelebihan pada orang lain.
  • Didiklah hati dengan sifat qana’ah (merasa cukup) kerana ia akan melatih diri menjadi hamba Allah yang bersyukur.

Forgiving Others

Abu Hurairah RA narrated that the prophet ﷺ said:

مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ, وَمَا زَادَ اَللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا, وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ

“Sadaqah does not decrease property and Allah increases the honor of him who forgives and no one will humble himself for Allah’s sake except that Allah raises his status.”

Sahih Muslim (2588)

  • Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.
  • Forgive people so that perhaps Allah may forgive you.

Doa Memohon Sifat Taqwa Dan Jiwa Yang Suci

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

Maksudnya: ” Ya Allah, kurniakanlah jiwaku akan sifat taqwanya dan sucikanlah ia. Engkau lah sebaik-baik yang mensucikan. Engkau lah penjaganya dan pelindungnya. Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung kepadaMu daripada hati yang tidak ada rasa takut (kepadaMu) dan dari jiwa yang tidak rasa puas, ilmu yang tidak bermanfaat, dan doa yang tidak diperkenankan.”

Riwayat Muslim (2722)
