Ahlan Ya Rajab

Ahlan Ya Rajab.Hari ini merupakan permulaan kepada bulan Rejab, sama- samalah kita meningkatkan ibadah dan kualiti diri sebagai seorang Muslim.

Diriwayatkan bahawa Nabi SAW telah bersabda:

“Ketahuilah bahawa bulan Rajab itu adalah bulan ALLAH, maka barangsipa yang berpuasa satu hari dalam bulan Rajab dengan ikhlas, maka pasti ia mendapat keredhaan yang besar dari ALLAH SWT."

Barangsiapa yang berpuasa dua hari dalam bulan Rajab mendapat kemuliaan di sisi ALLAH SWT.

Barangsiapa berpuasa tiga hari dalam bulan Rajab, maka ALLAH akan menyelamatkannya dari bahaya dunia, seksa akhirat, dari terkena penyakit gila, penyakit putih-putih di kulit badan yang menyebabkan sangat gatal dan diselamatkan dari fitnahnya syaitan dan dajjal.

Barangsiapa berpuasa tujuh hari dalam bulan Rajab, maka ditutupkan tujuh pintu neraka Jahanam.

Barangsiapa berpuasa lapan hari dalam bulan Rajab, maka dibukakan lapan pintu syurga baginya.

Barangsiapa yang berpuasa lima hari dalam bulan Rajab, permintaannya akan dikabulkan oleh ALLAH SWT.

Barangsiapa berpuasa lima belas hari dalam bulan Rajab, maka ALLAH mengampuni dosa-dosanya yang telah lalu dan menggantikan kesemua kejahatannya dengan kebaikan, dan barangsiapa yang menambah (hari-hari puasa) maka ALLAH akan menambahkan pahalanya.”

Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Pada malam Mikraj, saya melihat sebuah sungai yang airnya lebih manis dari madu, lebih sejuk dari ais dan lebih harum dari minyak wangi, lalu saya bertanya Jibril as: “Wahai Jibril untuk siapakah sungai ini?” 

Berkata Jibril as: “Ya Muhammad sungai ini adalah untuk orang yang membaca selawat untuk engkau dibulan Rajab.”

Dalam sebuah riwayat Tsauban bercerita:

“Ketika kami berjalan bersam-sama Nabi SAW melalui sebuah kubur, lalu Nabi berhenti dan Baginda menangis dengan amat sedih, kemudian baginda berdoa kepada ALLAH SWT. Lalu saya bertanya Rasulullah SAW: “Ya Rasulullah SAW, mengapakan anda menangis?”

Lalu Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Wahai Tsauban, mereka itu sedang diseksa dalam kubur mereka, dan saya berdoa kepada ALLAH, lalu ALLAH meringankan seksa ke atas mereka.”

Sabda Rasulullah SAW lagi: “Wahai Tsauban, kalaulah sekiranya mereka ini mahu berpuasa satu hari saja dalam bulan Rajab, dan mereka tidak tidur semalam sahaja di bulan Rajab nescaya mereka tidak akan diseksa dalam kubur.”

Tsauban bertanya: “Ya Rasulullah SAW, apakah hanya berpuasa satu hari dan beribadah satu malam dalam bulan Rajab sudah boleh mengelakkan dari seksa kubur?”

Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Wahai Tsauban, demi ALLAH Zat yang telah mengutus saya sebagai nabi, tiada seorang muslim lelaki dan perempuan yang berpuasa satu hari dan mengerjakan solat malam sekali dalam bulan Rajab dengan niat kerana ALLAH, kecuali ALLAH mencatatkan baginya seperti berpuasa satu tahun dan mengerjakan solat malam satu tahun.”

Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Sesungguhnya Rajab adalah bulan ALLAH, Sya’ban adalah bulan aku (Rasulullah SAW) dan bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan umatku.”

“Semua manusia akan berada dalam keadaan lapar pada hari kiamat, kecuali para nabi, keluarga nabi dan orang-orang yang berpuasa pada bulan Rajab, Sya’ban dan bulan Ramadhan. Maka sesungguhnya mereka kenyang serta tidak ada rasa lapar dan haus bagi mereka.”

KELEBIHAN BULAN REJAB

Beberapa hadis lagi Rasulullah saw menunjukkan kelebihan bulan Rejab:

• Hendaklah kamu memuliakan bulan Rejab, nescaya Allah memuliakan kamu dengan seribu kemuliaan di hari Qiamat.
• Bulan Rejab bulan Allah, bulan Sya’ban bulanku, dan bulan Ramadhan bulan umatku.
•  Kemuliaan Rejab dengan malam Isra’ Mi’rajnya, Sya’ban dengan malam nisfunya, dan Ramadhan dengan Lailatul-Qadarnya.
• Puasa sehari dalam bulan Rejab mendapat syurga yang tertinggi (Firdaus). Puasa dua hari dilipatgandakan pahalanya.
• Puasa 3 hari pada bulan Rejab, dijadikan parit yang panjang yang menghalangnya ke neraka (panjangnya setahun perjalanan).
• Puasa 7 hari pada bulan Rejab, ditutup daripadanya 7 pintu neraka.
• Puasa 16 hari pada bulan Rejab akan dapat melihat wajah Allah di dalam syurga, dan menjadi orang yang pertama menziarahi Allah dalam syurga.
• Kelebihan bulan Rejab dari segala bulan ialah seperti kelebihan Al-Quran ke atas semua kalam (perkataan).
• Puasa sehari dalam bulan Rejab seumpama puasa empat puluh tahun dan diberi minum air dari syurga.
• Bulan Rejab Syahrullah (bulan Allah), diampunkan dosa orang-orang yang meminta ampun dan bertaubat kepada-Nya. Puasa dalam bulan Rejab, wajib bagi yang berpuasa itu:

1. Diampunkan dosa-dosanya yang lalu.
2. Dipelihara Allah umurnya yang tinggal.
3. Terlepas daripada dahaga di akhirat.
4.  Puasa pada awal Rejab, pertengahannya dan pada akhirnya, seperti puasa sebulan pahalanya.
5. Siapa bersedekah dalam bulan Rejab, seperti bersedekah seribu dinar, dituliskan kepadanya pada setiap helai bulu roma jasadnya seribu kebajikan, diangkat seribu darjah, dihapus seribu kejahatan.

Cik Nin singgah di FB Knowledge is Power. Terjumpa satu kisah yang sungguh dan sangat- sangat menyentuh hati. Enjoy your reading !

A LETTER IN THE LOST WALLET!!

As I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years.

The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline--1924. The letter had been written almost sixty years ago.

It was written in a beautiful feminine handwriting on powder blue stationery with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was a "Dear John" letter that told the recipient, whose name appeared to be Michael, that the writer could not see him any more because her mother forbade it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him.

It was signed, Hannah.

It was a beautiful letter, but there was no way except for the name Michael, that the owner could be identified. Maybe if I called information, the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope.

"Operator," I began, "this is an unusual request. I'm trying to find the owner of a wallet that I found. Is there anyway you can tell me if there is a phone number for an address that was on an envelope in the wallet?"

She suggested I speak with her supervisor, who hesitated for a moment then said, "Well, there is a phone listing at that address, but I can't give you the number." She said, as a courtesy, she would call that number, explain my story and would ask them if they wanted her to connect me. I waited a few minutes and then she was back on the line. "I have a party who will speak with you."

I asked the woman on the other end of the line if she knew anyone by the name of Hannah. She gasped, "Oh! We bought this house from a family who had a daughter named Hannah. But that was 30 years ago!"

"Would you know where that family could be located now?" I asked.

"I remember that Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home some years ago," the woman said. "Maybe if you got in touch with them they might be able to track down the daughter."

She gave me the name of the nursing home and I called the number. They told me the old lady had passed away some years ago but they did have a phone number for where they thought the daughter might be living.

I thanked them and phoned. The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home.

This whole thing was stupid, I thought to myself. Why was I making such a big deal over finding the owner of a wallet that had only three dollars and a letter that was almost 60 years old?

Nevertheless, I called the nursing home in which Hannah was supposed to be living and the man who answered the phone told me, "Yes, Hannah is staying with us. "

Even though it was already 10 p.m., I asked if I could come by to see her. "Well," he said hesitatingly, "if you want to take a chance, she might be in the day room watching television."

I thanked him and drove over to the nursing home. The night nurse and a guard greeted me at the door. We went up to the third floor of the large building. In the day room, the nurse introduced me to Hannah.

She was a sweet, silver-haired old timer with a warm smile and a twinkle in her eye.

I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the powder blue envelope with that little flower on the left, she took a deep breath and said, "Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael."

She looked away for a moment deep in thought and then said Softly, "I loved him very much. But I was only 16 at the time and my mother felt I was too young. Oh, he was so handsome. He looked like Sean Connery, the actor."

"Yes," she continued. "Michael Goldstein was a wonderful person. If you should find him, tell him I think of him often. And," she hesitated for a moment, almost biting her lip, "tell him I still love him. You know," she said

smiling as tears began to well up in her eyes, "I never did marry. I guess no one ever matched up to Michael..."

I thanked Hannah and said goodbye. I took the elevator to the first floor and as I stood by the door, the guard there asked, "Was the old lady able to help you?"

I told him she had given me a lead. "At least I have a last name. But I think I'll let it go for a while. I spent almost the whole day trying to find the owner of this wallet."

I had taken out the wallet, which was a simple brown leather case with red lacing on the side. When the guard saw it, he said, "Hey, wait a minute! That's Mr. Goldstein's wallet. I'd know it anywhere with that bright red

lacing. He's always losing that wallet. I must have found it in the halls at least three times."

"Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I asked as my hand began to shake.

"He's one of the old timers on the 8th floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet for sure. He must have lost it on one of his walks."

I thanked the guard and quickly ran back to the nurse's office. I told her what the guard had said. We went back to the elevator and got on. I prayed that Mr. Goldstein would be up.

On the eighth floor, the floor nurse said, "I think he's still in the day room. He likes to read at night. He's a darling old man."

We went to the only room that had any lights on and there was a man reading a book. The nurse went over to him and asked if he had lost his wallet. Mr. Goldstein looked up with surprise, put his hand in his back pocket and said, "Oh, it is missing!"

"This kind gentleman found a wallet and we wondered if it could be yours?"

I handed Mr. Goldstein the wallet and the second he saw it, he smiled with relief and said, "Yes, that's it! It must have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon. I want to give you a reward."

"No, thank you," I said. "But I have to tell you something. I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet."

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. "You read that letter?" 

"Not only did I read it, I think I know where Hannah is."

He suddenly grew pale. "Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was? Please, please tell me," he begged.

"She's fine...just as pretty as when you knew her." I said softly.

The old man smiled with anticipation and asked, "Could you tell me where

she is? I want to call her tomorrow." He grabbed my hand and said, "You know something, mister, I was so in love with that girl that when that letter came, my life literally ended. I never married. I guess I've always loved her. "

"Mr. Goldstein," I said, "Come with me."

We took the elevator down to the third floor. The hallways were darkened and only one or two little night-lights lit our way to the day room where Hannah was sitting alone watching the television. The nurse walked over to

her.

"Hannah," she said softly, pointing to Michael, who was waiting with me in the doorway. "Do you know this man?"

She adjusted her glasses, looked for a moment, but didn't say a word. Michael said softly, almost in a whisper, "Hannah, it's Michael. Do you remember me?"

She gasped, "Michael! I don't believe it! Michael! It's you! My Michael!" He walked slowly towards her and they embraced. The nurse and I left with tears streaming down our faces.

"See," I said. "See how the Good Lord works! If it's meant to be, it will be."

About three weeks later I got a call at my office from the nursing home. "Can you break away on Sunday to attend a wedding? Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot!"

It was a beautiful wedding with all the people at the nursing home dressed up to join in the celebration. Hannah wore a light beige dress and looked beautiful. Michael wore a dark blue suit and stood tall. They made me their

best man.

The hospital gave them their own room and if you ever wanted to see a 76-year-old bride and a 79-year-old groom acting like two teenagers, you had 

to see this couple.

*****************************************************

DUNGUN, May 10 — One person died and two others remain warded after a fire at the Petronas Gas Processing Plant 3 (GPP3) in Kertih here this evening, Petronas Gas Berhad (PGB) said tonight.

PGB confirmed the incident at the pre-treatment unit section of the GPP Complex A at 3pm, and said its Emergency Response Team (ERT) put out the fire 30 minutes later.

Earlier, media reports said four of 10 victims were reported to have have suffered fourth-degree burns and all were sent to the Dungun hospital for treatment.

“PGB however regrets to inform that a number of employees of Hyundai-PFCE Consortium (HPC), which is the contractor servicing the GPP currently under a scheduled maintenance shutdown, were affected by the incident.

“One fatality has been reported while two personnel are still warded at a hospital. The remaining affected personnel have received appropriate medical treatment,” the company said in a statement.

** Baca je berita ni Cik Nin agak terkejut.Adik Cik Nin yang bongsu memang kerja kat sana. Alhamdulillah, sepatutnya dia kena bertugas di lokasi yang berhampiran dengan tempat letupan ni berlaku. Kebetulan barangan tak mencukupi jadi semua group dia tak masuk keje semalam. Lega sangat- sangat bila dapat dengar suara dia dalam keadaan sihat walafiat.
