Soal Jawab Ustaz Azhar Idrus
Soalan : Apa Hukum doa dlm fb?
Ust : Berdoa dlm facebook; dengan niatlah jadi hukum yg berbeza2. Tujuan insaf, dapat pahala. Tujuan nak nunjuk2, sia2 perbuatannya. Kongsi doa baik, dapat pahala.
Soalan : Hukum dengar nyanyian perempuan bukan mahram.
Ust : perempuan bernyanyi tidak boleh pada ajnabi.- suara ni ada dua hukum: suara aurat suara bukan aurat. Jika fitnah, haram.- sebaiknya, perempuan jgn nyanyi di khalayak ramai meskipun lagu2 nasyid.
Soalan : Mengata orang dalam berceramah..Kalau laknat, sebut nama boleh ke tak?
Ust : Kalau yg Allah sudah sebut laknat itu dalam Quran. Boleh kita sebut Allah laknat. ( Spt Allah laknat org kafir )- “celakalah org yg tidak solat. celakalah org yg minum arak.” – ada dalam nas- ada nas, baru boleh kata. kalo tade nas, tak boleh kata.- nasihat; benda yg lembut kita lembut, benda keras kena keras.- jgn sebut nama kalau nak tegur dalam ceramah.
Soalan : Ada 2 masjid dalam 100 meter dalam 1 mukim?
Ust : Boleh pegi mana2 masjid, tidak ada masalah.
Soalan : Bab mandi jenazah, aurat si mati bagaimana?
Ust : Aurat mayat sama macam aurat org yg masih hidup.- Umumnya, aurat wajib tutup antara ayah dan anak – pusat sampai ke lutut. tak boleh pakai spender je depan anak. Anak yg masih kecik tak reti apa2 takpe, tak haram wlpn ayah dia bogel.
Wajib kena hormat mayat. Minima
kan pemandi mayat sehingga 2 orang sebaik2nya. Aib pada mayat jika org lain nampak aurat si mati.
Soalan : Amalan diterima ke tak jikalau menuduh hamba Allah wat benda buruk?
Ust : amalan yg tidak diterima doa, doa org yg makan yg haram.. kutukan kita berdosa. amalan diterima selagi mana tidak buat benda2 yg menghalang doa diterima.

Ust : Tak dapat.
Soalan : Bersumpah takkan kawin selain teman wanita? nazar atau sumpah?

Soalan : Bolehkah sy selalu mandi wajib walaupun tidak junub. alang2 dah mandi, baik mandi wajib.
Ust : bid’ah. org tak suruh kenapa nak mandi wajib. mandi2 ni perintah Allah, takleh nak main2. mandi wajib ada sebabnya tersendiri. niat bersuci macam biasa je lah (thaharah), dapat pahala.

Umar
Kisah tawanan perang Badar.
Usai perang Badar, umat Islam berjaya menawan 70 orang tentera kaum musyrikin Mekah. Rasulullah SAW bertanyakan pendapat para sahabat bagaimana mahu menangani para tebusan ini, lantaran pertama kali umat Islam berhadapan dengan situasi sebegitu. Seperti biasa, baginda bertanyakan pendapat Abu Bakr r.a. dahulu. Abu Bakr yang sememangnya terkenal dengan kelembutan hatinya mencadangkan agar mereka dijadikan tebusan; dengan harapan duit tebusan yang diperoleh kelak akan dapat membantu untuk menguatkan kedudukan umat Islam. (Ada juga beberapa orang yang syarat tebusannya adalah mengajar anak-anak umat Islam membaca dan menulis.)
'Umar mempunyai pendapat yang amat bertentangan dengan Abu Bakr. 'Umar mencadangkan agar dibunuh sahaja tebusan-tebusan itu, kerana khuatir andai mereka dilepaskan, mereka akan kembali menjadi ancaman kepada Islam. Sa'ad bin Muadz r.a., salah seorang tokoh Ansar yang amat dihormati juga menyokong cadangan 'Umar ini.
Rasulullah SAW menerima cadangan kedua-duanya. Bahkan baginda menyamakan Abu Bakr dengan malaikat Mikail kerana kelembutan hatinya, manakala 'Umar sebagai Jibril dek 'kekerasan' cadangan yang dilontarkannya. Namun akhirnya baginda memilih untuk menerima dan melaksanakan cadangan Abu Bakr dan ia diterima baik oleh para sahabat, meskipon ada dalam kalangan mereka yang mendokong pandangan 'Umar.
Esoknya (ada yang mengatakan beberapa hari selepas itu), turun firman Allah yang menegur Nabi SAW kerana mengambil tebusan; yang lebih wajar adalah mereka ini diperangi habis-habisan.
"Tidak patut bagi seorang Nabi mempunyai tawanan sebelum ia dapat melumpuhkan musuhnya di muka bumi. Kamu menghendaki harta benda duniawi, sedangkan Allah Taala menghendaki (pahala) akhirat (untukmu). Dan Allah Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana.
Kalau sekiranya tidak ada ketetapan yang telah terdahulu daripada Allah (keizinan tentera Islam untuk mendapat harta ghanimah), nescaya kamu ditimpa seksaan yang besar kerana tebusan yang kamu ambil."
[al-Anfal, 8:67-68]
Zretttt.
Turunnya firman ini telah membenarkan firasat dan cadangan 'Umar al-Faruq yang mahu dibunuh sahaja kesemua tebusan yang ada.
Ketika firman ini diturun, Rasulullah SAW sedang bersama-sama dengan Abu Bakr. Arakian menangislah mereka sepuas-puasnya, menyesali tindakan dan keputusan mereka yang mahu menjadikan para tawanan perang sebagai tebusan.
Ditakdirkan ketika itu 'Umar melewati tempat di mana Rasulullah dan Abu Bakr berada. Maka dia pon bertanya kepada mereka berdua,
"Mengapa kalian menanges? Beritahulah aku, supaya aku dapat menanges bersama!"
Begitu besarnya chentanya pada ar-Rasul dan begitu besar pula cemburunya pada Abu Bakr.
Lantas ar-Rasul SAW pon menceritakan kepada 'Umar perihal wahyu yang baharu turun itu. Malah baginda berkata,
"Kita hampir terkena azab yang besar kerana tidak bersetuju dengan pendapat 'Umar. Sekiranya diturunkan azab, nescaya kita semua tidak akan terlepas daripadanya kecuali 'Umar."
Nah, sekiranya kita adalah 'Umar ketika itu, apa agak-agaknya reaksi yang akan kita tunjukkan?
Tersenyum sinis sambil membuat tanda aman?
Tertawa kecil sambil menepu-nepuk bahu Nabi?
Atau berkata, "Haaaa! Kan ceq dah habaq dah?? Hampa la ketegaq sangat takmau dengaq!"
Mata pandang ke atas. Ah, gemoknya awan.
Mujurlah bukan kita yang menjadi 'Umar ketika itu. Peluh besar.
Sebaliknya, teresak-esak 'Umar menanges, menginsafi dirinya. Manakan tidak, Allah yang Maha Agung itu telah membenarkan kata-kata seorang hamba marhaen bernama 'Umar, yang menafikan tindakan seorang Nabi, kekasih Allah! Wahai, betapa beratnya beban dan amanah yang ditanggungnya itu!
Dan 'Umar menanges kerana dia tahu dan faham, teguran Allah itu tidak hanya ditujukan kepada ar-Rasul SAW semata-mata, tetapi kepada Abu Bakr, dirinya dan sekalian umat Islam yang lainnya. Bukankah umat Islam itu ibarat satu tubuh badan; sakit sebatang gigi maka akan meranalah seluruh badan tidak tidur malam?
Mata berkaca-kaca.
Lantas, apa ya yang dapat kita pelajari dan contohi daripada sosok agung bernama 'Umar itu?
Dari 'Umar kita belajar menjadi jundiyy yang berani untuk memainkan peranannya.
Dari 'Umar kita belajar erti ketaatan yang penuh dengan kefahaman dan kasih-sayang.
Dari 'Umar kita belajar untuk meraikan perbezaan.
Dari 'Umar kita belajar erti ukhuwwah fillah dalam erti katanya yang sebenar.
Dari 'Umar kita belajar erti keikhlasan dan mujahadah yang benar-benar memerlukan keimanan yang mantap dan jitu.
Dari 'Umar kita belajar erti merendahkan ego, meskipon kita berada di pihak yang benar.
Nanges.
Dan dari insan yang bernama 'Umar ibn Khattab itu, kita belajar erti menjadi hamba.
Bukan sehari dua 'Umar menjadi sebegitu hebat. Bukan kacang cap Pagoda 'Umar bisa mendaki makam yang begitu tinggi. Dan bukan potong kek Resipi Rahsia 'Umar berjaya mentarbiyah hatinya menjadi sebegitu teguh dan ampuh.
Ia memerlukan tarbiyah yang berterusan dan mapan. Tarbiyah yang bagaimana? Tarbiyah ala madrasah Rasulullah SAW. Ia memerlukan mujahadah yang besar. Ia membutuhkan pengorbanan yang tidak murah harganya. Ia memerlukan kecekalan dan azam yang kental, lebih utuh dari pasak gunung yang tidak roboh dan lebih kuat dari besi yang tidak berkarat.
Dan 'Umar berjaya melalui kesemua itu. 'Umar berjaya mentarbiyah hatinya dan mengekang nafsunya, sehinggakan dirinya diserahkan kepada ar-Rasul dan Allah semata-mata. Kechentaannya kepada Allah dan ar-Rasul melebihi segala-galanya. Nyawanya diserahkan kepada Islam; hidup dan matinya hanya untuk menegakkan agama ini.
Tidak hairanlah 'Umar diletakkan dalam kalangan sepuluh orang sahabat yang dijamin masuk sorga. Tidak hairanlah 'Umar digelar al-Faruq, kerana kemampuannya untuk membezakan antara al-Haq dan al-Batil dengan tegas dan yakin. Dan tidak hairanlah 'Umar diangkat antara khalifah yang terhebat dalam sejarah Islam, kerana keperibadiannya yang tiada tolok tandingnya.
Kerana untuk menjadi seorang 'Umar itu, bukan mudah dan tidak murah.

Motivasi
A very poor newly wedded, young couple lived in a small farm. One day the husband made the following proposal to his wife:
Honey, I will leave the house: I will travel faraway, get a job and work hard in order to come back and give you the comfortable life that you deserve. I do not know how long I will stay away, I only ask one thing, please wait for me, and while I am away, you should be faithful to me, because I will be faithful to you. His wife agreed, so the young man left. He walked many days until he found a farmer who was in need of someone to help him. The young man offered his services. He was accepted. Therefore he discussed the terms with his boss:
Let me work for as long as I want and when I think I should go home, please relieve me of my duties. I do not want to receive my salary. I ask you to save it for me, until the day I leave. The day I decide to go, please give me the money and I will go my way. They agreed on that. So, the young man worked for twenty years without holiday and without rest. After twenty years, he came to his boss and said:
Boss, I want my money, because I am returning to my home. The boss replied:
All right, after all, I made a deal with you and I will stick to it. However, before you go I want to offer you something new: I will give you all your money and send you away; or I will give you 3 pieces of advice and send you away. If I give you money, you lose the 3 pieces of advice. If I give you the 3 pieces of advice, you lose the money. Now, go to your room and think about your answer. He thought for two days. Then he went to the boss and told him:
I want the 3 pieces of advice. The boss stressed again, if I give you the 3 pieces of advice, I will not give you the money, and the man replied:
I want the 3 pieces of advice. The boss then told him:
No. 1: Never take shortcuts in your life, shorter and unknown paths can cost your life. No. 2: Never be too curious, for curiosity towards evil can be deadly. No. 3: Never make decisions in moments of anger or pain, because when you repent, it could be too late. After giving these 3 pieces of advice, the boss said to him:
Here, you have 3 loaves of bread, 2 are for you to eat during the journey and the last is for you to eat with your wife when you get home. So, the man went his way, after twenty years away from home and from his wife, whom he loved so much. After the first day of travel, he found a man who greeted him and asked:
Where are you going? He replied:
To a distant place which is about 20 days away if I continue walking. The man said to him:
Ol' boy, this path is too long! I know a shortcut that is very safe and you will arrive in 5 days only. The man began to follow the path suggested until he remembered the first piece of advice. Then, he returned and followed the long path. Days later he learned that the shortcut led to an ambush.
After a few more days of travel, he found an inn by the roadside, where he could rest. He paid for a room and after taking a bath he lay down to sleep. During the night he woke up as he heard a terrifying scream. He rose to his feet and went to the door to check what happened. As he was opening the door, he remembered the second piece of advice. Therefore he returned, lay down again and slept. At dawn, after breakfast, the owner of the lodging asked him if he had not heard the scream at night. He affirmed that he heard. Then, the host said:
Were you not curious to see what happened? And he replied:
No, I was not. Then the host said:
You are the first guest to leave this inn alive. My neighbour is completely crazy. He usually shouts at night to call someone’s attention. When some of the guests come out, he kills them and buries their bodies in the backyard. The man continued his long journey, eager to arrive soon.
After many days and nights walking, he was very tired, but he finally saw his house far away. It was night. He saw some light coming out of the window of his house and was able to see the silhouette of his wife. But he also saw that she was not alone. He came closer and saw there was a man with her. She softly caressed his hair. When he saw that scene, his heart was filled with hatred and bitterness. He decided to rush at and kill them both mercilessly. However, he took a deep breath and he remembered the third piece of advice. Then he stopped, reflected and decided to sleep outside that night. He slept in the midst of the bushes, determined to make a decision the next day. At dawn, he was calmer and thought:
I will not kill my wife and her lover. I am going back to my boss to ask him to take me back. But before I go, I want to tell my wife that I have always been faithful to her.
He went to the front door and knocked. When his wife opened the door and recognized him, she cried and embraced him warmly. He tried to push her away, but he
was not able. Then, with tears in his eyes he told her:
I was faithful to you but you betrayed me.
She was shocked, so she replied:
How did I betray you? I have never betrayed you. I waited patiently for you for twenty good years. Then he asked:
How about the man that you were caressing yesterday? And she said:
That man is your son. When you left, I discovered I was pregnant. Today he is twenty years old. Hearing that, the man asked her forgiveness. He met and hugged his son. Then he told them all the things he had experienced while away. Meanwhile, his wife prepared some coffee for them to eat together, the last bread given by his boss. After a prayer of thanksgiving, he broke the bread. When he looked at it, he found all his money inside. In fact, there was even more than the right payment for his twenty years of dedication and hard work.
Friends, our God is like this boss. When he asks us to make a sacrifice, he wants to give us more than what we give Him. He wants us to have His unique wisdom as well as the
material blessings. Someone sent this piece to me and it blessed me and I copied it to you can also share to other groups..
