In the name of Allah. In the name of
Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful. May the peace, mercy, and
blessings of Allah be upon you.
And upon you be peace and the mercy of
Allah.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family
of Muhammad. Praise be to Allah, we
meet again today at the residence of
Ustaz Husin Alatas for our reflection
session under the shade of the Quran.
We will continue yesterday's study of
the verses from Surah Al-Hadid. Praise
be to Allah, Ustaz Husin is already
here with us. Peace be upon you, Ustaz
Husin.
And peace be upon you, and the mercy of
Allah.
Right, let us begin this session by
reciting Al-Fatihah.
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the
accursed. In the name of Allah, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All
praise is due to Allah, Lord of the
worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment
. You alone we worship, and You alone
we ask for help. Guide us to the
straight path. The path of those upon
whom You have bestowed favor. Not of
those who have evoked [Your] anger or
of those who are astray. In the name of
Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful. Whatever is in the heavens
and earth exalts Allah. And He is the
Exalted in Might, the Wise. To Him
belongs the dominion of the heavens and
the earth; He gives life and causes
death. And He is over all things
competent. He is the First and the Last
, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He
is, of all things, Knowing. It is He
who created the heavens and the earth
in six days, then established Himself
above the Throne. He knows what
penetrates into the earth and what
emerges from it and what descends from
the heaven and what ascends therein.
And He is with you wherever you are,
and Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.
To Him belongs the dominion of the
heavens and the earth, He causes the
night to enter the day and causes the
day to enter the night, and He is
Knowing of that within the breasts.
Believe in Allah and His Messenger and
spend out of that in which He has made
you successors. For those who have
believed among you and spent, there
will be a great reward. And why do you
not believe in Allah while the
Messenger invites you to believe in
your Lord and He has taken your
covenant, if you should [truly] believe
? It is He who sends down upon His
Servant verses of clear evidence to
bring you out from darknesses into the
light. And indeed, Allah is to you Kind
and Merciful. And why do you not spend
in the cause of Allah, while to Allah
belongs the heritage of the heavens and
the earth? Not equal among you are
those who spent before the conquest and
fought. Those are greater in degree
than they who spent afterwards and
fought. And to all, Allah has promised
the best [reward]. And Allah, with what
you do, is Acquainted. Who is it that
would loan Allah a goodly loan? Who is
it that would loan Allah a goodly loan
so He will multiply it for him and he
will have a noble reward? Allah the
Almighty has spoken the truth. And His
noble Messenger has testified. And we
are among the witnesses of that. To
proceed. Brothers and sisters,
listeners and viewers of Silaturahim
Radio and TV, our brother Ustaz
Muhammad Kresna, Ondi, all the crew
members working in the studio, the
scholars who struggle through the media
of Silaturahim Radio or TV and those
who contribute to fighting for the
continuity of this preaching, may Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala accept all our
deeds. First, I greet you with the
peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah.
In our previous reflection, we together
contemplated several verses from Surah
Al-Hadid. Starting from the first verse
, which explains a very important truth
, a very magnificent truth, a very
noble truth, and also a very profound
one. It does not speak about something
on a small scale or limited. But it
speaks about the universe and all that
is within it. Mas Krishna. Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala explains how all
existence in the heavens and on earth,
both the small and the large, both
those of the past that still exist
today or those yet to come. Whether
humans, jinn, angels, animals, plants,
whether they dwell on land, in the sea,
or fly in the air. All of them glorify,
sanctify, and exalt Allah. All of them
testify that there is no God but Allah.
He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
Whatever is in the heavens and earth
exalts Allah, and He is the All-Mighty,
the All-Wise. His is the dominion of
the heavens and the earth. He gives
life and causes death, and He is over
all things competent. Everything
testifies that it belongs to Allah,
everything that exists in the heavens
and on earth. The entire kingdom of the
heavens and the earth belongs only to
Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. La
sharikalah. He has no partner. He gives
life and causes death. He is also the
One who grants life to all His
creations. This includes us, whether we
are common citizens or high-ranking
officials, the weak or the strong, the
rich or the poor. Our entire lives
originate from Allah. When the time
comes, Allah will take that life back.
Then Allah will ask us to account for
our deeds as the stewards placed upon
this earth. So be careful, O mankind,
and prepare yourselves to face that
time and event which we cannot possibly
avoid. He is the First and the Last,
the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is
Knowing of all things. So, the entire
kingdom of the heavens and the earth
belongs to Him. He is the One who
grants life and death. Wahua ala
kulliin qadir. And He is capable over
all things. Nothing escapes His power.
Whatever He wills, it will surely
happen. But that which He does not will
, will not happen. He is the First and
the Last. He is the First before the
existence of anything. And He is the
One who initiates all things, while He
has no beginning. And the Last, He is
also the Last, after the extinction and
destruction of all things; just as
everything originates from Him and
depends on Him, everything will return
to Allah. Then they must account for
all their deeds. The Manifest and the
Hidden. And His existence is the most
apparent and the most clear. Because
the existence of the heavens and the
earth depends on Him. If He were to
abandon them, the heavens and the earth
would surely meet their destruction.
Thus, the heavens and the earth with
their order, so beautiful and wise,
point to their All-Wise Organizer.
Likewise, their interconnectedness with
one another. Their unity and harmony
show that the One who organizes and
creates them is One. La sharikalah.
There is no partner for Him. If there
were a possibility of two or three gods
in the heavens or on earth, there would
be a battle between the ruling gods,
which would result in the destruction
of the heavens, the earth, and all that
is within them. Had there been within
them deities besides Allah, they both
would have been ruined. This is a
logical consequence. If there were gods
in the heavens and on earth other than
Allah, they would certainly suffer ruin
. He is the First and the Last. The
Manifest and the Hidden. He is the most
apparent, the most clear, but at the
same time, The Hidden. He is also the
One who is hidden from our senses due
to the limitations of our senses.
Whereas Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, who
is Most Great and Exalted, is not an
object, substance, or matter that can
be reached by our senses. Because our
senses are only designed to reach
things that are material. While our
hearing and our eyes are completely
incapable of perceiving Him. Likewise
with the whispers of our hearts, the
whispers of every human's soul or
spirit, our two eyes are unable to see
them. Not because God is unclear.
Because the entire existence in the
universe points to God. But at the same
time, He is hidden from our sight and
our other senses. Because He is not a
substance similar to us, or to the
beings found in the universe. He is
Al-Khaliq, the Creator who created
everything, and also created space and
time for His creations. He also created
forms and shapes in the most beautiful
way. Whereas He is "Laisa kamithlihi
shay'un wahuwa as-sami'ul-basir." He
does not resemble anything, neither
what is in the heavens nor on the earth
. The relationship between God and this
universe is the relationship between
the Creator and His creations. The
relationship between the Almighty and
His weak servants who are in need of
Him. The relationship between the
All-Wealthy and His poor servants, the
All-Perfect and His imperfect servants;
so come to God. Your Lord, O mankind,
you will find your hopes and desires
there. "Huwal-awwalu wal-akhiru
waz-zahirul-batinu wahuwa bikulli
shay'in 'alim." Even though He is
beyond the reach of our senses, He is
All-Knowing of everything. Including
the whispers of our hearts, the
direction of our gaze, what we hear,
what we feel, what we think, and what
we imagine, all are known by God. After
that, God explains that the origin of
the existence of the universe and all
its contents comes from God. It is He
who created it. "Huwalladzi
khalaqas-samawati wal-arda fi sittati
ayyam." It is He who created the
heavens with all their systems, with
their stars and galaxies. Likewise, He
created the earth with everything that
exists within it. "Fi sittati ayyam."
In six periods, six days, in six stages
. And these stages do not limit God's
power. He has the power to create with
"Kun faya-kun." So everything will
happen and be created. But through
these stages, humans are taught to
learn. The stages of human creation in
the womb show the wonder of God's
creation from a drop, sperm, and egg
derived from the essence of food
consumed by our parents. Fertilization
occurs in the womb, forming such an
amazing being: our very selves. But
unfortunately, we often view ourselves
as objects of pride and arrogance,
rather than as signs of Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala showing His greatness. He
created the heavens and earth in six
stages, in six periods, as a lesson and
education for us. Then He did not
abandon the universe He created, but He
governs it. He is Al-Hakim, the only
Ruler in the universe who decides and
determines everything. His decisions
apply to all His creations. As for
humans, as God's stewards, by His will,
He gives us freedom of choice, but
within limited boundaries and scope.
Not everything we desire will happen,
but everything we do with our choices
and our freedom, that is what we will
be held accountable for before God. How
weak humans are. Let alone the universe
, speaking of Earth in the middle of
this universe, it is a speck of dust or
even smaller, let alone the creatures
found within it. Therefore, the glory
of God's creatures on this earth is not
because of their size, not because of
their position, because all in God's
eyes are insignificant creatures. But
they will have meaning when they are
grateful to their Lord, when they
glorify their Lord, when they
appreciate the greatness of His majesty
. fahuair lahub. As for those creatures
who do not appreciate God's greatness,
who do not respect the rules and laws
that come from Him, they are more
wretched than animals or even small
insects. Because insects still
recognize their Lord and glorify Him,
while those who are given blessings are
ungrateful, arrogant, and haughty. We
do not need to be in a hurry. The time
will come for everyone to receive the
punishment for their deeds unless they
repent. Therefore, let us get used to
not glorifying creatures because of
their wealth, position, influence, or
status. But let us value faith, piety,
and righteous deeds, encouraging
everyone to compete in goodness. But
because of our appreciation for wealth
and position, people eventually race to
obtain them, thinking that with these
they will gain honor among humans. We
are also the ones who plunge them into
this. Al-Arsh. It does not mean that
God sits on the Throne as a king sits
on a throne. Because God is
All-Sufficient and does not need a
place to—for what? for Him to sit.
Moreover, that place is God's creation.
Therefore, Imam Ali said, "Ma
khalaqallahul arsya makaman lidzatihi."
God did not create the Throne as a
place for His Essence. Wakinnallaha
khalaqal arsyaharomati. But God created
the Throne to show the greatness of His
majesty. From the Throne, the greatness
of God's majesty is manifest. God's
commands are conveyed to His angels.
There is not a single angel that is not
tasked with carrying out what God
commands. God sends them down to earth
and they return to God's presence in
one day equivalent to 1,000 years. am
minaiium. Therefore, let us never
assume that God is oblivious. God
Subhanahu wa ta'ala does not close His
eyes to our deeds. Two angels continue
to record and write down our deeds. God
watches over us one by one. It does not
mean the angels report to God what He
does not know, but the angels record as
witnesses so that humans cannot deny
their actions. Therefore, for those
whose hearts feel that God is with them
, that He is close to them, watching
their deeds, and they are careful, when
they call upon God, God Subhanahu wa
ta'ala will quickly respond to them.
But those whose hearts do not feel
God's presence and do not respect Him,
such people are considered like
something vain and meaningless. So your
existence, O human, your meaning is not
in your wealth, not in your status, not
in your face and appearance, but in
your faith, your piety, and your
reverence for Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
. I do not feel envious seeing people
who are rich, who have greatness. In
fact, my heart is not interested in
receiving their gifts. Our hearts
prefer to give, not to receive except
from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. When we
give, we feel happy because we are
channeling Allah's blessings to His
servants. But when we receive from
created beings, not as a reward for
something we gave them, we feel that we
are truly small. Therefore, the joy of
giving is far more beautiful than the
joy of receiving. Especially if the
gift comes from wicked people who feel
that by giving, they have provided
something and bound us to them.
Therefore, the Prophet's family taught
us to pray, "Allahumma aghnini' an
kholqik." O Allah, suffice us so that
we do not need Your depraved and
corrupt creatures. Because their gifts
are not given without strings attached.
They do not give hoping for Allah's
pleasure, but give to bind and hold us
hostage. Because of that, how many
scholars have been held hostage by
gifts? Thumma-stawa 'alal' arsy. Then
He rules from the throne, His greatness
and majesty. It does not mean Allah is
sitting on the throne. Because place
and time are creations of Allah.
Likewise, the throne, greatness, and
majesty are creations of Allah. Some
people, unfortunately, with their
naivety and narrow-mindedness, say
Allah is in the sky. If Allah is not in
the sky, it means He is everywhere.
If He is everywhere, what does that
mean? It means Allah is also in dirty
places. You are truly thinking of
imagining Allah as equal to yourself,
both being created beings. Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala does not occupy
space and time. Does not occupy space
and
space and time.
The word "everywhere" in your speech
means you are equating Allah with His
creatures. Allah is with His creatures
everywhere. Not a togetherness of
essence, not a togetherness of time and
space, but the togetherness of His
knowledge, His mercy, His supervision,
and His power. If it were a
togetherness of time and space, when
Allah is close to us, He would be far
from His servants in distant places. Is
that not right? If Allah is with people
in America, it would mean people in
Indonesia are far from Allah. But if
Allah is with His creatures, wherever
they are, it is not a togetherness of
space and time. Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala, who is the most glorious, the
most holy, the most perfect, whose
essence, greatness, and majesty we
cannot possibly imagine. Here we truly
see that Allah is different from His
creatures. His creatures who are needy,
weak, and bound by space and time, when
they are close to one person, they are
far from another. Whereas Allah is
all-knowing, His knowledge encompasses
everything past, present, and future.
Whether His servants are on one
continent or on another continent
elsewhere. Even His creatures in the
heavens, watched over by Allah, do not
hinder Allah from watching over us all
on earth. In fact, Allah is
simultaneously able to grant the
prayers of His servants scattered
across the heavens and the earth.
Yasaluhu man fis samawati wal ardhi
kulla yaumin hua fi shan. All creatures
in the heavens and on earth beseech
Allah. Allah attends to and grants
their prayers. He does not tell them to
queue one by one.
He does not say to them, "Wait in line.
"
Those at sea pray when facing disaster.
Those in the air also face terrifying
disasters. Those afflicted by illness,
or a mother about to give birth.
Likewise, those about to undergo
surgery are all praying around the
world. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala does
not say "one by one." But if we go to
humans, humans are full of limitations.
Even if they want to help, they are
powerless. They may promise sincerely,
yet they are not necessarily able to
keep their word. Therefore, do not hang
your hopes on anyone other than Allah.
Turn your face toward Allah. Hold fast
to Him. Likewise in facing the
necessities of our lives. In educating
our children, our families, or in
facing COVID. Do not view COVID as an
alien that came from outside the
universe to attack Allah's domain.
COVID is a creature of Allah that He
sends to whomever He wills. Whether as
a warning, an education, or what? As an
expiation of sins for those afflicted,
or as a punishment for their denial and
arrogance. Allah shows through His
hosts that they are not powerless. So
sometimes it is a warning to repent,
sometimes an education, sometimes an
expiation of sins. After that, Allah
restores them, while sometimes it is a
punishment for those who are defiant
and arrogant. Where do you place
yourself? Are you among those who are
defiant and arrogant? Allah will show
His power. Walillahi junudus samawati
wal ardhi wa kanallahu azizan hakima.
To Allah belong the hosts of the
heavens and the earth, and He is the
Almighty, the All-Wise. But if you are
among those who value the greatness and
majesty of Allah, Allah will cherish
you. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala will
send angels to protect you. Even when
facing dangers, they come lightly, like
clouds, then the rain of mercy will
descend. Every time a believer emerges
from a trial, they will find something
eternally beautiful as a reward from
Allah for their gratitude and patience.
Ya'lamu ma yaliju fil ardhi wa yakhruju
minha. He knows what enters into the
earth, what is absorbed into the earth,
and what comes out of it. Wa ma yanzilu
minasama-i wa ma ya'ruju fiha. Likewise
, He knows what descends from the sky
and what ascends to the sky. Nothing is
hidden from Allah. Therefore, if we
seek refuge in Allah, Allah has the
power to protect us from all kinds of
dangers from the heavens and the earth.
Both the visible and the invisible.
Wahua maakum ainama kuntum. And He is
always with you wherever you may be.
Like it or not, Allah's supervision is
always watching over you. Allah's
knowledge encompasses you. For those
who believe and do righteous deeds, His
mercy also shields them. While those
who disbelieve are easily susceptible
to targets, disasters, and calamities.
And He is with you, not in terms of
space and time, but through His
supervision, knowledge, control, power,
mercy, and love wherever you are.
Wallahu bima tamaluna basir. Indeed,
Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
Lahu mulkus samawati wal ard. Again,
Allah emphasizes that He possesses the
entire kingdom of the heavens and the
earth. Wahua alimum waallahi turjaul
umur. He possesses the entire kingdom
of the heavens and the earth. In the
end, all matters are returned to Allah.
Nothing happens without His permission.
Nothing escapes Allah's grasp, and in
the hereafter, everything will appear
before Allah. Yaumaidin lahfa minkum
khfiah. And Allah...waallahi turjaul
umur. Yulijul laila fin nahar wulijun
nahar fil. Gently, Allah inserts the
night into the day. Night approaches
gradually, not all at once from light
to dark like someone switching off a
light. Likewise, inserting the day into
the night also happens slowly. Not all
at once blazing with light so as to
startle, like someone turning on a
light. Yulijul laila fin nahar wulijun
nahara fil. Because it is gradual, we
are able to calculate time. Wahua
alimun bidti sudur. And He is
All-Knowing of everything hidden within
the hearts. Where will you hide, O
mankind? Where will you flee to? Bow
your heads before the greatness and
majesty of Allah. After that, Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala invites, without
forcing in the slightest. Aminu billahi
wa rasulih. After you have heard all of
this and understood it, believe in
Allah and His Messenger. Believing in
Allah, your Lord, will not harm you.
Believing in Allah, Allah will
illuminate your lives. Allah will
fulfill your hopes and guide your paths
. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala will
protect those you love and keep you
away from danger and harm. Believe in
Allah. By believing in Allah and
following His guidance, you will not be
lost and will not suffer. Wa rasulih.
And believe in His Messenger. Because
he is not an ordinary man, but a human
who carries a message, a letter, and a
mission from Allah. He conveys the
message to you with complete honesty,
not adding anything nor taking anything
away. When you follow the Messenger,
obey him, and believe in him, it means
you truly appreciate and respect Allah.
Because respecting His messenger is the
same as respecting Allah. Obeying His
messenger is the same as obeying Allah.
Wakakumur rasul fakudu w nahakumu
fantahu. So whatever truly comes from
Allah And whatever comes from His
Messenger authentically and is proven,
it is our obligation to obey it without
any bargaining. Therefore, following
the Sunnah of the Messenger, obeying
what comes from the Messenger
authentically, with undoubted
narrations and in line with the Book of
Allah, we are then obliged to do what?
Prioritize it over others. But because
of the many lies in the name of the
Messenger, the Prophet himself said
during his lifetime, "Man kadaba alaiya
falyataba 'maqadahu minar." Whoever
lies in my name, let him take his place
in the Hellfire. So, we do not want to
be among those who lie in the name of
Allah. Because the distance is so vast
between us and the Messenger, and the
distance of the hadith collectors from
the Messenger is also quite far; they
were not collected during the time of
the Messenger. Thus, we must be careful
; besides looking at the chain of
narrators, we examine the content and
meaning. Does it match the Book of
Allah? If it fits and is in harmony,
wajaba alaina as-sam'u wat-ta'ah. We
are obliged to listen and obey. So, we
are not people who reject the Sunnah of
the Messenger, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace. Far be it from us. How
could we reject him, when he is the
ambassador who came carrying a mission
from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala? So,
have faith in Allah and His Messenger.
Having faith is not just believing and
being convinced; having faith means
believing, being convinced, obeying,
and submitting. If faith were only
believing and being convinced, Iblis
would be the most faithful creature.
Because he not only heard, but he
witnessed what we have only heard about
regarding the angels and the life of
Paradise. He knows Allah better than we
do. But Allah said, "Fakana minal
kafirin." Because of his refusal and
his defiance, even though he knew. Thus
, having faith in Allah and His
Messenger means we obey Allah and His
Messenger, which stems from our belief
and certainty in Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala. Aminu billahi wa rasulih. After
that, wa anfiqu mimma ja'alakum
mustaklafina fih. And spend from what
we have entrusted to you as Allah's
caliphs on the face of the earth. What
you possess is not property that will
not be questioned, but property that is
a trust. Spend a portion of what Allah
has entrusted to you as caliphs who
will be held accountable for your deeds
. Does the person who gives charity
lose? Not at all. Every time they give
one in the way of Allah, they will
receive 700 times fold. When they spend
a portion of their wealth, they are
lightening their burden. This means
their brother who receives the charity
helps to lighten and carry their load.
While in the afterlife, they will
receive manifold rewards. But how sad
is the state of someone carrying so
much luggage, climbing, descending,
sometimes crossing slippery paths.
Eventually, before reaching the
destination, they collapse on the way,
not to mention the heavy accountability
. Thus, Imam Ali said in his testament
to his sons, "If someone offers to
lighten the burden on your back, let
them carry it." You will lighten your
burden and you will receive your reward
in the hereafter. How fortunate are
those who give to charity. When they
give, they extinguish the wrath of
Allah. When they give for the sake of
Allah, they will receive Allah’s
forgiveness. When they give, they will
receive a greater replacement from
Allah. When they give, they will ward
off danger from themselves. Therefore,
Allah says, "Wasari'u ila maghfiratim
mir rabbikum wa jannatin' arduha
as-samawatu wal-ard, u'iddat
lil-muttaqin." Race toward forgiveness
from your Lord. And a paradise that
Allah has promised for the righteous,
which is as vast as the heavens and the
earth. How do we attain it? "Alladzina
yunfiquna fis-sarra'i wad-darra '." To
attain it, Allah mentions the criteria.
Those who spend their wealth in times
of ease and prosperity, or in times of
hardship and danger. Like right now,
people who are holding onto their money
, yet they trust in Allah and give away
a portion of their wealth. To help
their brothers who lost their jobs,
were laid off, or are sick, they give
away a portion of their wealth. So,
Allah begins the criteria for the
righteous who will receive forgiveness
and paradise, which is those who spend
their wealth in the way of Allah. If
you want proof, don't just know about
it. Try giving, and you will feel a
greater reward in this world, let alone
in the hereafter. Allah will keep you
away from danger, including from COVID.
But the more stingy you are, the more
you will live in fear and anxiety. Even
if you protect yourself, if Allah
allows COVID to strike, it will strike.
Even if you wear 1,000 masks or 1,000
layers of PPE, if Allah wills the virus
to come, it will come. So do good deeds
, act with kindness, and enjoin what is
right. This will protect you from
calamity, danger, and punishment. So,
have faith in Allah and His Messenger.
Then, spend from what Allah has
entrusted to you as a stewardship, for
which you will be questioned in the
hereafter. "Falladzina amanu minkum wa
anfaqu lahum ajrun kabir." For those
among you who believe and give, Allah
has prepared a very great reward. The
meaning of "great" depends on who is
describing it. If a small person
describes something as great, the value
is small. Huh.
If someone used to seeing hundreds of
thousands or ten thousands says, "If
you work, you will get a great reward."
Maybe to them, 100 or 200,000 is great.
But when Allah, the Ruler and Owner of
the entire kingdom of heaven and earth,
describes that for those who believe
and give, He has provided a great
reward, it is truly great. How vast is
that greatness?
MashaAllah.
You cannot even imagine it.
I truly feel that for the small acts of
kindness we do, the reward Allah gives
is so immense. We feel ashamed.
Especially when we are often negligent,
unmindful, and forgetful. Sometimes we
even use the provisions that Allah has
given us for negligence and
disobedience. Astagfirullahalazim wa
atubu ilaih. After that, Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala poses a question.
Wama lakum la tu'minuna billahi
warasulu yad'ukum litu'minu birabbikum
waqad akhaza mitsaqakum in kuntum
mu'minin. What is the reason? What is
the obstacle preventing you from
believing in Allah? Has Allah ever been
cruel to you? Has Allah ever
intimidated you? Has Allah ever taken
away the goodness you possess? Or is it
the opposite? Your very existence and
all your blessings come from Allah. As
for disasters and catastrophes, they
come from you, from your own deeds that
invite punishment and disaster, yet
most humans do not realize it and even
deny it. The goodness you receive comes
entirely from Allah. The evil you
receive is the consequence of your own
actions. Wama asabakum min musibatin
fabima kasabat aidikum. Whatever
disaster befalls you is a result of
what your own hands have earned. Allah
still turns a blind eye to most of your
deeds. If everything were punished, we
would not know what would happen. So
what is your excuse, O Ministers, O
President, O Vice President, as well as
the people's representatives, O Ustadhs
, O scholars, let us focus our
attention on Allah. Let us not just
prioritize ourselves, our pleasures,
our desires, our dreams, our ambitions
which are limited to worldly life; we
will soon leave our positions behind.
Just as President Soekarno sat,
replaced by Pak Harto, then replaced by
BJ Habibie, replaced by Gus Dur,
replaced by Ibu Mega, and after that
replaced by SBY for two terms. Now
President Jokowi has taken over. Soon
you too will go, replaced by someone
else. But while you have the
opportunity in office, fulfill Allah's
mandate, do not be deceived by Satan
who will make us companions in the
torment of hellfire. Wa la iyadzubillah
. So, what is preventing you from
believing in Allah? What wrong has
Allah done to you? Isn't it the
opposite? Hasn't Allah been showering
you with His blessings all this time?
Warasulu yad'ukum litu'minu birabbikum.
Even though the Messenger has invited
you to believe in your Lord and your
God. The Messenger, during his lifetime
. Likewise, after he returned to
Allah's side, the Quran is the message
he conveyed that still exists, guarded
and preserved in our midst. Waqad
akhaza mitsaqakum. And the Messenger
has taken your pledges and oaths. Even
waqad akhaza mitsaqakum at the moment
you declare your faith—I bear witness
that there is no god but Allah and I
bear witness that Muhammad is the
messenger of Allah—you are bound by
Allah's rules. Even when you were still
in the womb, what were you? You were
beings who did not yet know parents,
father, mother, or the environment.
Allah had already taken your testimony.
When Allah took your seeds from the
loins of your fathers and mothers,
Allah took your testimony and you
testified there. This testimony is
embedded in human nature. Whether
admitted or not admitted. Allah has
taken your promises and oaths if you
are believers. If you only claim to
have faith and profess the shahada, but
do not prove it with deeds, you are not
yet a believer. Perhaps some might say,
"Ustaz Husein is being extreme." These
are not my words, but the words of
Allah. Remember, Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala guides you not because He needs
you, nor to add to His followers at all
. No. He is the One who sends down
clear verses to His servant. He sends
down to His servant verses that provide
explanation and light, not for Allah's
benefit, but to lead you out of
darkness into light. In order to bring
you out from the darkness of this life
toward a life full of brightness.
Before, you were afraid in the midst of
darkness; Allah provided a sense of
security through His light. Before, you
were weak; Allah provided strength
through faith. Before, you were lost,
adrift, confused, not knowing what to
do; Allah showed you the way. Allah
clarifies the path of salvation while
warning us against paths that harm and
ruin us. And indeed, Allah is for you
most kind and merciful. And Allah is
truly most compassionate and merciful
to you all. Appreciate Allah’s
compassion toward us before it is too
late. Because if we continue to linger
in disbelief, and face disaster, or an
ill ending, do not blame Allah. Allah
has sent His messenger, revealed His
book, given us knowledge, and given us
reason. But it turns out, few of us are
grateful for Allah’s blessings. Now,
as a closing to this morning’s study,
God willing, we will continue in the
next session. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
, after asking, "Why is it hard for you
to believe?" What is hindering you? Now
Allah asks a second time, regarding
spending in the way of Allah. What is
your excuse for being reluctant to
spend in the way of Allah? When the
heritage of the heavens and the earth
belongs to Allah alone. Everything
belongs to Allah, the entire
inheritance of the heavens and the
earth. Because He is the Creator. When
you pass away, you will not take
anything with you. You will only take a
few pieces of shroud, and perhaps some
scent to perfume your body. Then a few
wooden planks to cover your grave,
topped with a mound of earth. That is
all you will take with you. As for
everything else, you will leave it
behind. Your family will no longer be
able to send anything to you except for
prayers. And even prayers are only
accepted from those who believe. So
what stops you, who have been given
excess, from investing—not for others
, but for your afterlife, for your
provision? What hinders you from
spending in the way of Allah? When the
entire wealth and inheritance of the
heavens and earth belong to Allah.
Those who spend before the victory and
fight are not equal to those who come
after. Those who spent before the
Conquest of Mecca, when Islam was still
weak, are not the same. The Prophet
fought alongside his companions, the
predecessors sacrificed what they owned
and what they loved, unlike those who
spent and fought after the Conquest of
Mecca. Therefore, the Muhajirin and
Ansar who fought alongside the Prophet
are not the same as those who embraced
Islam after the Conquest of Mecca.
Those who converted to Islam after the
Conquest of Makkah mostly hitched a
ride on Islam's glory after the
Prophet’s victory. As for those who
struggled beforehand, they were the
ones who sacrificed everything. This is
the position explained by Allah. They
are not the same: those who spent and
fought before the city of Makkah fell
into the hands of the Muslims, compared
to those who believed and fought after
that. Meaning, those who struggled from
the beginning, laying the foundation
and building the structure, are not the
same as those who came later, taking
shelter under the building erected by
those predecessors. There is a
difference between the freedom fighters
who struggled for our nation's
independence and us, who do not guard
or appreciate that independence, and
instead just enjoy it. Now we want to
sell the wealth of our country to
foreign hands to let them control it.
That means we do not value our
independence. What is the meaning of
the August 17th independence
commemoration? Commemorating the
struggle of our people, yet we do not
guard it, and even let go of what they
fought for. Everything they fought for,
we are handing over to foreigners. In
the past, the Dutch came to our land as
traders and managed to colonize us for
350 years because they cooperated with
traitors. Now, we are making the same
fatal mistake today. But even if we
don't see the outcome in this world yet
, in the afterlife, we will witness the
recompense for those who fought and
those who betrayed. So, those who
struggled from the start, laying the
foundation for our nation's security,
are not the same as those who came
later, enjoying the building
constructed by all our fighters. Just
like the state of the earlier
companions of the Prophet compared to
those who came after. Those
predecessors who laid the foundations
of Islam have a much higher degree than
those who spent, believed, and fought
thereafter. Therefore, the thulaqa who
entered Islam after the Conquest of
Makkah are different from the
companions who were close to the
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
Wa kullau wa'adallahul husna. And to
each, Allah has promised the best,
according to the deeds they have
performed. Wallahu bima ta'maluna
khabir. Indeed, Allah is All-Aware of
what you do. You do not need to mention
, defend, or praise yourselves.
Everything is in the sight of Allah,
recorded in a book that does not err or
forget. Now, lastly. Man zalladzi
yuqridullaha qardan hasanan
fayudha'ifahu lahu walahu ajrun karim.
Who among you is willing to lend to
Allah? Our lives, our wealth, and our
possessions are gifts from Allah. Now
He asks us, who among us is willing to
lend to Allah? Even though everything
belongs to
Allah.
What does lending to Allah mean? We
spend our wealth in the way of Allah.
Helping the poor, helping those in
distress. When we give aid to them, it
is the same as lending to Allah, or
spending our wealth for the struggle in
the path of Allah, for His da'wah, for
jihad in the path of Allah, and for
improving social and economic life. All
of this is infaq in the path of Allah,
depending on our intentions. fayuda'ifu
lahu walahu ajrun karim, "Allah will
multiply his reward, and Allah has
prepared a noble, generous recompense
for him." This is Allah's promise.
Let's imagine a parent gives each of
their children 1 million. 1 million.
After giving it, the parent tests which
child is generous. "Now, Father has no
money.""What for?""To borrow from you."
"Who wants to help Father?" It turns
out some children say, "Wow, we really
need it, Father." Another says, "I will
lend you everything I have.""In fact,
this isn't even a loan because it all
came from Father.""We want to return it
to Father." All this time, praise be to
God, we have received so much kindness.
So, when Allah tests us, it is not
because He is incapable or lacks
anything, but Allah wants to see which
of us has a generous soul and is
grateful for Allah's blessings. Never
mind giving what we have from our own
wealth. All this time we have enjoyed
such immense facilities from Allah. How
can we be stingy about doing good for
our brothers and sisters who are in
need? But unfortunately, our mentality
is still a 2.5%mentality. And that is
only after cutting here and there. How
do you expect to buy paradise? It
wouldn't even be enough to buy
vegetable soup. If that were
distributed to the community, to the
people, it wouldn't be enough to buy
vegetable soup. Those who pay zakat are
few, those who receive are so many.
Then we are proud to be the largest
Muslim majority in the world. What is
there to be proud of? Building mosques
that chime on the side of the road.
People are suffering and miserable,
while their close relatives are
reluctant to help them. This is a*
balagh*, conveying the verses of Allah.
May there be hearts that are touched,
awakened, and ears willing to hear and
respond to this call. And I hope it
starts with me personally responding to
this call, O Lord. Our families, then
all the warriors of*da'wah*on this*
silaturahim*radio, then the listeners,
and I hope you will not be passive
because you have an obligation to
listen, accept, and convey. If you
convey it to others, Allah will protect
you from His torment and wrath. Because
*amar ma'ruf nahi munkar*(enjoining
good and forbidding evil) will guard
and protect us from the torment and
wrath of Allah*subhanahu wa ta'ala*.
Such is it, brothers and sisters who
are blessed by Allah. May Allah*
subhanahu wa ta'ala*accept our
offerings. May Allah make what we have
said truly and solely for the sake of
hoping for Allah's pleasure. It is not
because of a desire to insult someone,
bring them down, belittle someone, or
to aim to poke and stab at the
officials. No. But this is for us to
convey to fulfill our responsibility,
hoping that there are among us those
who are willing to respond to this call
for the good of ourselves, our families
, our nation, and our country.
Subhanakallahumma wabihamdik, ashadu
alla ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa
atubu ilaik, wa-l-afwu minkum.
