CINTA DAN PERKAHWINAN

Posted in Family & Marriage, Sosial, True Fact on August 26, 2011 | 3 Comments »

Love is blind. What does it mean? It means we love someone without any valid reasons. We fall in love with someone and we do not know the reason why we have fallen in love with him or her. Most people forget that the one that put the love towards him or her in our heart is none other than the Creator of men. There is no one that can grant love other than Allah. Allah is the one who places love towards someone in our heart beyond our control. We can neither increase nor decrease the amount of love towards someone in our heart except with the permission of Allah. Allah places love into the heart of all mothers towards their children. Allah uses love as a means to protect and to nourish the young helpless children.  A mother can endure many nights without sleep, to feed and to tend to her crying child because Allah has instilled love towards that child inside her heart. No one can instil that love except Allah. When Allah plants love inside our heart towards someone we will not be able to find the reasons, why we have loved that person. We can neither love nor not to love someone with our own choice. We simply do not have the choice. When Allah has planted love towards someone in our heart, we have no choice but to love that person. Allah instils in our heart love towards someone as a test for us. We are also tested in the same manner when Allah gives us wealth and power. Allah is testing us so that we can gauge our level of faith (iman). We will know that our ‘iman’ is weak when we transgress the Allah’s orders. (more…)

From September to March 2010: A total of eight (8) lecturers including the Dean of the Faculty Prof Azrin Esmady resigned from the Faculty Optometry Twintech International University College and join Faculty Optometry SEGi University College. Because of the total and sudden resignation of all the lecturers, the running of the Faculty Optometry Twintech International University College has to come to a sudden stop.

RUKUN ISLAM KETIGA- FASTING IN THE MONTH OF RAMADHAN

Posted in Health, Religion on August 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Allah has given the order of fasting to the Muslims in the month of Ramadhan. It is the third Pillar of Islam. The first Pillar of Islam which is the first order of Allah involves the sacrifice body, mind and soul. When we have to do the work of inviting the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and the work of reminding the Muslims about the Great Kalimah we need to use not only the whole body, but also our soul and mind. We also need to sacrifice our time as well as our wealth and health in doing the work of Dakwah. The work of Dakwah CLICK is the work to fulfil the right of the first Pillar of Islam which is reciting the Great Kalimah, I bear witness there is no God except Allah and I bear witness Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. The work that fulfils the right of reciting the Great Kalimah is so demanding of men’s time, wealth and health and because of that only very few from among the peoples who have recited the Great Kalimah are willing to do it. When the love of worldly thing has entered a person heart, the first order of Allah, which is to fulfil the right of the first Pillar of Islam, reciting the Great Kalimah will be disobeyed by that person. Because the first order of Allah is so demanding of men’s time, health and wealth thus it is the first order of Allah to be disobeyed by Muslims and disappeared from this world. This first order of Allah had disappeared from the life of Muslims when the loves of worldly thing have entered the hearts of Muslims. (more…)

8 OUTCOMES OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION

Posted in Education, Religion on August 12, 2011 | 1 Comment »

What are the outcomes of our Islamic education? What we want out of the Islamic education that we have given to our children. Until now we do not have an outcome base education on the Islamic education that we have imparted to our children. We do not have outcome base Islamic education in our schools. Our teachers only transfer the Islamic education to our children without taking into account the outcomes of the education. We do not know what we want out of the Islamic education that we have given to our children. Islamic educators are not focussing on the outcomes of Islamic education and as a result we do not have muslims with real qualities as muslim in Malaysia. When we are teaching Islamic education without outcomes base in our mind, actually we are wasting our time and the time of our children. What is the purpose of Islamic education? Do we have objectives in our Islamic education? In my opinion the objective of Islamic education is to produce good muslim man and women with qualities desired by Allah. In my opinion we should have eight qualities to be our outcomes in our Islamic education. The eight qualities are Iman or correct belief on there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah, Ilmu or knowledge, Hikmah or wisdom, Ihsan or constantly realising the presence of Allah, Ihtisab or believing in the promises of Allah, Ikhlas  or sincerity , Akhlak or good character, Mujahadah  or ability to perform sacrifice in the path of Allah to spread Deen. The outcome of our Islamic education should be the attainment of the eight qualities as mentioned above. With the eight qualities, a person will have correct belief or Iman and correct actions or Amal Soleh. Hence make a person known as a muslim. The outcome of our Islamic education is to produce a muslim with qualities loved by Allah. (more…)

HUKUM PERINTAH DAKWAH

Posted in Dakwah on August 8, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Although many Muslims say that we have to do the work of dakwah, but many Muslims still do not know what is the meaning of the word dakwah? And what is the hukum of doing the work of dakwah? Dakwah means to proclaim or to invite those who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah. The Great Kalimah is the Kalimah, I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. In the Quran, it is mention, the word to call people to Allah, which means to call people to recite the Great Kalimah. Dakwah means to invite the non-Muslims to recite the Great Kalimah and by virtue of reciting the Great Kalimah, a non-Muslim is said to have entered Islam but the Kalimah has not entered his or her heart. Since the Great Kalimah has not entered into his or her heart, the person is not yet a Muslim but is said to have entered Islam(muallaf) or is call as a person who has embrace Islam. In Malay, he or she is said as orang Islam but certainly he or she is not orang beriman which is Mukmin or Muslim. Actually many Muslims are only a person who has embrace Islam or orang Islam and not a Muslim or true believer. In order for a person to become a Muslim, he or she must recite the Great Kalimah and then he or she must fulfil the right of the Great Kalimah by conveying or inviting others who have not recited the Great Kalimah to recite the Great Kalimah and the intention must only to please Allah until Allah is pleased with him or her. When Allah is pleased with him or her, Allah will instill the Great Kalimah into his or her heart. When the Great Kalimah has entered into a person’s heart, that person is known as a Muslim. Allah says in the Quran with the approximate meaning, whose words is better than those who call people to Allah and he does good actions(amals)and he says he is a Muslims. However many Muslims does not know how to differentiate the different between orang Islam and Muslims. Muslims are those who do the work of inviting others (non-Muslims) to recite the Great Kalimah and they themselves do good actions.Therefore for a person to have good action or amal solih, he or she must have a good iman and a person with good iman and good amal is known as a Muslim.
