And brothers and sisters 1:45 , this afternoon we are opening a Q&A 1:47 or dialogue session. We invite you to 1:50 submit your questions to 081199720. We 1:57 invite you, brothers and sisters. And 1:58 for that, we will open with the 2:00 recitation of Quran Surah Al-Fatihah. 2:02 Please, Ustaz. 2:03 I seek refuge in Allah from the 2:05 accursed Satan. In the name of Allah, 2:10 the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2:15 All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the 2:18 worlds, The Most Gracious, the Most 2:23 Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment 2:28 . You alone we worship, and You alone 2:33 we ask for help. Guide us to the 2:38 straight path, The path of those upon 2:43 whom You have bestowed favor, Not of 2:47 those who have evoked [Your] anger or 2:49 of those who are astray. Amen. 2:58 Amen. Amen. Amen, O Lord of the worlds. 3:01 Ustaz, if I may, for the first point, 3:02 Ustaz. At the beginning of our 3:04 discussion, 3:06 what we call social dynamics, Ustaz, in 3:08 society that has been happening for a 3:11 long time, passed down, perhaps this 3:13 tradition is still maintained, Ustaz. 3:17 Regarding Indonesian religious 3:18 traditions, especially in moments of 3:20 grief, Ustaz. Like tahlilan or visiting 3:24 graves, Ustaz. There is one habit that 3:28 is almost never absent, Ustaz, in our 3:31 society, which is about social dynamics 3:33 , the tradition of giving and receiving 3:36 envelopes, Ustaz. On one hand, this 3:40 grew from the spirit of mutual 3:42 cooperation, perhaps, Ustaz, social 3:45 concern, and the envelopes given to, 3:47 for example, guests who perform the 3:50 funeral prayer, read the Quran, pray, 3:52 or funeral officials, are interpreted 3:55 as a form of respect, perhaps as thanks 3:58 to them. Then also, perhaps a symbol of 4:02 charity, sincerity. But on the other 4:06 hand, as time goes by, Ustaz, economic 4:09 shifts have triggered ripples of debate 4:13 , Ustaz, 4:15 in society regarding this matter, 4:16 especially due to economic burdens, 4:18 Ustaz. A while ago, it was also widely 4:21 discussed on social media, if I'm not 4:23 mistaken, by an author named Tere Liye, 4:26 Ustaz. He posted an image with the 4:30 writing: funeral prayer, tahlilan 4:33 envelope, food box, and cigarettes. 4:37 Then religious study, food box and 4:39 envelope. Lecture, food box and 4:41 envelope. Sitting in front of the grave 4:44 , envelope. Escorting to the grave, 4:46 envelope. He is not—what’s the term 4:49 —he is not debating the Tahlil 4:51 recitation or the Quranic study itself, 4:53 but rather the tradition of giving 4:54 envelopes. He even suggests, "If in 4:56 your area things are not like this, 4:58 then thank God.""If it is still like 5:01 this, try to stop the tradition," he 5:03 says. So, Ustaz, how do you view such 5:07 dynamics in society? This kind of 5:09 tradition. 5:11 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious 5:13 , the Most Merciful. All praise is due 5:14 to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, 5:18 send prayers, greetings, and blessings 5:20 upon Your servant and messenger, our 5:23 master and prophet Muhammad, and upon 5:25 his family and companions. O Allah, 5:30 grant us mercy from Yourself and bestow 5:33 upon us beneficial knowledge, and 5:35 benefit us with what You have taught us 5:37 . O Allah, guide us to the paths of 5:40 peace, bring us out of darkness into 5:42 the light, and guide us to the straight 5:44 path. My brothers and sisters who are 5:49 blessed by Allah. May the peace, mercy, 5:51 and blessings of Allah be upon you. 5:56 Islam besides emphasizing and 6:00 obligating us to worship Allah, the 6:05 Exalted, also requires us to perform 6:09 righteous deeds solely for the sake of 6:13 Allah. Not associating anyone with Him. 6:18 We do not associate partners with Allah 6:21 , neither in worshipping Him nor in the 6:24 righteous deeds we perform solely for 6:27 His sake. Therefore, the Quran 6:37 emphasizes to us Al-Ikhlas (sincerity). 6:43 What is the meaning of Al-Ikhlas? 6:45 Al-Ikhlas means to purify something and 6:47 keep it free from impurities. In a 6:51 linguistic sense, it means purifying 6:54 something from mixtures blended with it 6:56 . In religious terminology, it means 7:02 purifying our worship solely for Allah. 7:04 Likewise, in performing righteous deeds 7:07 , it must be done solely for Allah. 7:11 This is what will be accepted by Allah, 7:13 as His word states, "Verily, to Allah 7:14 belongs the pure religion.""Know that 7:17 what is accepted by Allah is only 7:19 devotion that is truly pure, solely for 7:22 Allah, to Allah, and for the sake of 7:25 Allah." This is the most important 7:29 foundation of our religion, which 7:32 determines whether our lives are 7:34 straight or crooked, and will lead us 7:37 toward the light of Allah. Entering 7:41 into His mercy. When we offer our 7:44 worship sincerely only for Allah and to 7:48 Allah, the Exalted. Then, besides this 7:54 principle being the most important 7:56 foundation of our lives, it is the 7:58 highest action of the heart because it 8:00 determines whether our deeds are 8:02 accepted or not. The second is to unify 8:08 our word (tawhid). This means uniting 8:14 our cause. It means that we, the 8:20 Muslims, who profess to worship Allah, 8:23 live for Allah, and act solely for the 8:27 sake of Allah, the Exalted. We must be 8:31 united on the path of Allah, the 8:33 Exalted. And this is what is described 8:37 by Allah in Surah At-Tawbah. "The 8:39 believing men and believing women are 8:42 allies of one another." Those who 8:44 believe, both men and women. Some of 8:48 them are protectors of others. This is 8:52 the principle of social life among 8:55 fellow Muslims. The strong help the 8:59 weak. The wealthy become supporters for 9:03 the poor. Likewise, those with 9:08 knowledge become what? Supporters and 9:10 guides for those who are ignorant. 9:15 Similarly, those in positions of 9:19 authority are responsible for the 9:23 people under them. If there are people 9:27 under their care who are, let’s say, 9:31 living in hunger or spending the night 9:34 hungry, then the government ignores 9:37 them and pays them no attention. Or if 9:42 there are citizens who do not have a 9:43 home, which is a basic necessity, it 9:45 becomes their responsibility. The 9:50 country and all its wealth do not 9:52 belong to the government. They are only 9:57 entrusted for 5 years to look after the 10:00 people's welfare, distributing the 10:02 nation's wealth for the people's 10:04 benefit. If they do not carry out the 10:08 duties and the mandate entrusted to 10:10 them, then they are worse than ordinary 10:13 citizens. So, the believers, some of 10:19 them are guardians of others. Thus, 10:22 what is known as fard al-kifayah or 10:24 collective obligation is born. It is an 10:27 obligation divided by Allah according 10:30 to the potential within each person. H 10:35 The duty of a scholar is different from 10:37 the duty of a businessman. The duty of 10:40 a scholar is also different from the 10:42 duty of an official. The duty of a 10:45 scholar is different from that of a 10:47 doctor working in the medical field. 10:50 Now, if everyone with their respective 10:52 potential holds fast to the concept of 10:55 "the believing men and women are allies 10:57 of one another," the people will become 10:59 one. It will create a power capable of 11:05 protecting the people and resisting 11:08 threats from the outside. Why? Such 11:12 beautiful cooperation. Praise be to God 11:17 , yes. So this cooperation is a 11:21 necessity. It is a 11:24 necessity. 11:24 A necessity. Now, when, let's say, one 11:28 of our circles, our fellow Muslim 11:31 brother passes away, we are obligated 11:38 to take care of the funeral together. 11:43 Starting from bathing them, then 11:46 burying them, yes, praying over them. 11:52 All of this is our responsibility as 11:54 fellow Muslims. If they are someone who 11:57 is not well-off, who cannot afford it, 11:59 then everything is borne by the 12:01 community around them. Instead of them 12:04 demanding from the family left behind 12:10 by one of its members to host them, to 12:13 give, say, offerings to them at the 12:15 time of the prayer or while bathing, 12:18 during the prayer, or at the burial. 12:23 This is not in accordance with the 12:24 rules and teachings of Islam. When 12:32 Ja'far at-Tayyar, who died along with 12:35 Zaid bin Harithah, yes, along with the 12:40 companions who fought in the Battle of 12:42 Mu'tah. When the news reached Medina, 12:49 the Ansar came to the family of 12:51 Abdullah bin Rawahah as well. They came 12:54 , the Muhajirun came to whom? To Zaid 12:57 bin Harithah. Meanwhile, the wife of 13:00 Ja'far, this Ja'far is the cousin of 13:02 the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon 13:04 him. Those who died as martyrs had no 13:07 one coming to their families. The 13:10 Messenger of Allah immediately said, " 13:12 Isna'u li ali Ja'far ta'aman.""Make 13:14 food for Ja'far's family." So the Ansar 13:17 began to come to the home of Ja'far's 13:19 family to comfort them, bringing food. 13:22 Isn't it beautiful? 13:23 Yes. 13:23 It's beautiful, right? 13:24 Beautiful. So, if a family member 13:27 passes away, the community should be 13:30 the one to take care of it. 13:34 Starting from bathing them, yes, then 13:35 starting from what? Then praying for 13:39 them and burial. If necessary, the 13:42 family should be freed from all burdens 13:43 weighing them down. In one area, Allah 13:49 provides, subhanallah, the community 13:52 collects contributions according to 13:54 their ability. Some give 5,000, 10,000, 13:57 prepared for the family of the deceased 13:59 . During the events, say from bathing, 14:04 burying, uh, bathing, praying, until 14:07 the burial, everything is covered 14:09 collectively. There are funds collected 14:13 during the tahlil, yes. The men are at 14:16 the mosque or the prayer hall. If I am 14:19 served ginger coffee, it is not the 14:21 family who prepares it. The family is 14:23 calm, having a hard time, and not 14:24 getting involved in anything. Then the 14:27 local women come to the family's house 14:30 for 3 days to recite the Quran, read 14:32 Yasin, and recite tahlil to comfort the 14:35 bereaved family. Because if a crowd of 14:37 friends gathers, the feeling is 14:39 different. Especially by reciting the 14:41 Quran, then saying prayers, chanting 14:43 lailahaillallah, and doing tasbih to 14:45 pray for the deceased. 14:47 The women are more comforted than by 14:49 just sitting around chatting, laughing, 14:50 or playing cards. 14:52 Or playing other games. Many people 14:55 gather when someone passes away to 14:57 smoke, laugh, and so on. This is not 14:59 the case here; only women come to the 15:01 family's house. 15:02 Yes. Meanwhile, for the men at the 15:05 mosque after Maghrib prayer, after the 15:06 sunnah prayers, it is best to chant 15:08 lailahaillallah for at least 10 minutes 15:10 . 15:11 It costs nothing and there is no need 15:13 to invite anyone. 15:14 Whatever is available at the mosque. 15:18 Because this is done congregationally, 15:21 the burden is shared, they feel no 15:24 burden, and sometimes the family even 15:27 receives 4 million in aid. 15:30 Because they are in a needy condition, 15:32 especially if the husband, the 15:34 breadwinner, has passed away. If it is 15:35 the usual crowd, it is difficult. 15:37 They are given money, 15:39 they are given rice so the family has 15:40 something for a while. Now, when the 15:43 provisions run out later, if no one is 15:45 working yet, you do not need to fear. 15:48 We, the community, will share the 15:49 burden together. 15:51 Masyaallah. 15:52 But for the funeral prayer, there are 15:54 invitations. When I returned from Egypt 15:58 in '06, I taught at a mosque. I 16:01 happened to receive an invitation. I 16:03 asked, "What is this for?""For the 16:05 funeral prayer." I said, "My friend, 16:08 funerals are for the public, walimahs 16:10 are for the invited.""Funerals are 16:12 announced, we just come without an 16:14 invitation." Only walimahs require 16:17 invitations. Those who come uninvited 16:19 are gatecrashers. 16:20 Heh. 16:21 I still did not understand. As soon as 16:23 the funeral prayer ended, after the 16:25 prayer, everyone invited was given an 16:27 envelope. I was shocked. That was my 16:31 first experience with it. I said, "I'm 16:34 sorry, I should be the one giving, not 16:36 you.""You are in distress." 16:40 Now, this has become a cultural 16:41 tradition because it is done repeatedly 16:43 , so it is considered normal. I was 16:47 giving a lecture, and someone asked me 16:50 to recite al-Fatihah for their family. 16:53 Money was provided in an envelope. I 16:55 opened it and it turned out to be 16:58 payment for reciting al-Fatihah. How 17:02 can you pay for a prayer? Just imagine. 17:04 Then reciting Quran at the grave. It is 17:09 turned into a project, some cost 17:10 millions depending on how many days. 17:11 Some cost 10 million, some 20 million. 17:15 Now, in relation to this, there is an 17:17 interesting story. A certain person. It 17:23 happened that in the village where I 17:24 live, there was an ustaz. His Quran 17:26 recitation was good, his Quran 17:30 recitation was very beautiful. Besides 17:35 being an imam at the mosque, he was 17:37 also the leader of a group that recited 17:40 the Quran at graves. 17:43 So if someone passed away, they were 17:44 offered, "How many days do you want us 17:45 to recite the Quran?" This had been 17:51 going on for a long time, and I often 17:55 prayed in the mosque as an imam. 17:59 Sometimes when he met me from behind, 18:01 he would tap me. "When praying, don't 18:03 make it too long." I usually consider 18:06 them elders and show them respect. 18:08 Until one day he dreamed of drinking 18:12 blood and pus. 18:14 Oh. Finally, someone brought this 18:17 person to my house. At that time, I was 18:19 still renting. Still ren- 18:21 renting. In front of it was a graveyard 18:24 , a small house. He came to my house, 18:28 surprised. It wasn't his usual self, as 18:30 people in Jakarta say. He came to the 18:33 house and told me that last night he 18:35 dreamed of drinking blood and...what 18:37 was it? I was immediately startled. He 18:43 asked, "What does it mean, Ustaz?" I 18:46 said, "Sir, Ustaz, with all due respect 18:48 , this dream of yours shows your 18:51 profession which feeds on the pus and 18:53 blood of the public." 18:56 The ones who are struggling, who are 18:58 suffering, you add to their suffering. 19:02 "Even though reading the Quran is good, 19:05 the way you are doing it—taking funds 19:08 from those who are in distress—is not 19:11 blessed by Allah." Finally, he was 19:16 shaken at that moment, then he declared 19:18 his repentance for those deeds. He left 19:22 his friends and from that moment on he 19:25 was ostracized. 19:26 Hm. 19:27 Even though he was a prominent figure. 19:28 Yes. I said, "From now on, Ustaz, sit 19:32 in the mosque and teach the Quran." 19:35 Whoever wants to learn, accept them, 19:38 but don't ask for anything. God willing 19:41 , we will all collectively provide for 19:44 your needs every month. "Agreed. He 19:48 began sitting in the mosque teaching 19:50 the Quran. Who are the people or 19:51 children who would read the Quran 19:53 without asking for a fee? Because he is 19:57 working for Allah. 19:58 Yes. Allah provides. Alhamdulillah, his 20:00 needs were met. Well, one day he came 20:03 to the house. He came to Kang Rizal's 20:06 house. He said," Ustaz, I need money 20:10 for my child's school tuition, it's 20:13 quite a large amount. "At that time, it 20:18 was maybe around several hundred 20:20 thousand, a large sum. 20:22 So, in that year 20:25 when I built my house, it was only 20:26 millions. 20:27 Oh. Yeah. I said," Ustaz, I am no 20:31 better than you, Ustaz. "" I am also 20:34 completely empty. "" I can't help you, 20:38 Ustaz. "" But there is someone who can 20:40 help. "" Who? "I said," Allah. "" Let's 20:44 pray together. "" We pray together. "" 20:48 Begging Allah to fulfill this person's 20:50 need. "Subhanallah, Kang Riza. After we 20:55 prayed, maybe it hadn't even been 10 or 20:58 15 minutes, two people came into the 21:00 house." Ustaz, we want to entrust this 21:05 "" fisabilillah (in the way of Allah) 21:08 to you, Ustaz. "" Please distribute it. 21:11 "I said," Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome). "I 21:14 prayed that it would be accepted as 21:15 charity. He didn't say anything, he 21:17 went home. I said," Ustaz, try opening 21:19 this. "It was opened, and the amount 21:21 was exactly as he desired. 21:23 Allahu Akbar. 21:25 I said," If we are with Allah, Allah 21:27 will never leave us. "" Why should we 21:30 hang our needs on fellow weak creatures 21:32 , without distinguishing between the 21:35 struggling and the wealthy? " 21:38 Yeah. 21:38 So, if we pray for those who have 21:40 passed away, perform their funeral 21:42 prayers, bathe them, or bury them, 21:44 don't turn it into a project. But for 21:46 the grave diggers, we must show them 21:48 respect. They are working as laborers, 21:51 so we provide for them. But don't let 21:53 us burden the family of the deceased. 21:57 So let the family sit at home in peace, 21:59 reflecting on the departure of their 22:02 loved one, while the community acts as 22:04 a source of comfort for them. So, as I 22:09 mentioned earlier, everything has 22:11 become about money, even sermons have 22:13 set rates. In fact, when I returned 22:16 from Egypt, just as I had arrived, a 22:18 cleric invited me," Ustaz, we would 22:21 like to invite you to speak at our 22:23 place for the Mawlid commemoration. "I 22:25 said," God willing, if there are no 22:27 obstacles. "Then he gave me an envelope 22:29 . What is this? A down payment. I said, 22:35 " This isn't a house sale, it's not a 22:36 deposit. "I teach because I hope for 22:39 God's blessing. Just pray that I don't 22:41 accept things like this. 22:43 Because besides that deposit, there 22:45 would eventually be more payments with 22:47 various added costs. This is for those 22:50 who don't set a rate. For those who do 22:51 set a rate, I have a rate, say 10 22:55 million, or some have 5 million. Now, 23:00 one time, there was a mosque 23:02 congregation from a modest background 23:04 that wanted to invite a well-known 23:06 preacher. 23:06 Hm. He said," I have a rate of 10 23:08 million. "" We only have this much, 5 23:10 million, Ustaz. "" In that case, I will 23:13 be passing by your area on my way to 23:15 another region, I can stop by for half 23:17 an hour for 5 million. "So, if we look 23:21 at what's broken, what is it actually? 23:24 What's broken are the very people who 23:26 are supposed to improve the community, 23:28 guide their lives, and remind them all 23:31 to return to God and race toward His 23:33 pleasure. Instead, they are the ones 23:37 damaging society, exploiting 23:40 their needs and their weaknesses. These 23:43 are acts that are forbidden in religion 23:46 . This is part of the communal 23:47 obligation (fardu kifayah), and" the 23:49 believing men and believing women are 23:50 allies of one another. "Now, for 23:52 prayers during the tahlil, these are 23:55 things that do not conflict with 23:57 religion. In the mosque. Take me in 24:00 Purwakarta, for example, in Raudah 24:02 mosque, whenever someone passes away, 24:04 after Maghrib prayer, we immediately do 24:06 the best of dhikr, it doesn't even take 24:07 10 minutes. Then just prepare a little 24:10 ginger coffee for the congregation 24:11 present, and it's done. 24:13 There's no burden. But the women's side 24:16 is visited by their female neighbors. 24:19 Because if a woman loses her husband, 24:22 left at home with young children, how 24:24 would she feel? 24:25 Yes. Let's try in moments like this to 24:29 do good that will serve as provisions 24:31 for us in the hereafter. Cultivate love 24:34 , cultivate cooperation, don't let 24:37 everything be about money. When I came 24:39 back from Egypt, there was even more 24:40 money. What money?" Pelangkah "money (a 24:42 fee for skipping over someone). 24:43 What is" pelangkah "money, Ustaz? 24:44 It's when you want to get married, 24:45 the younger sibling skips over the 24:47 older sibling. I was also surprised, 24:48 you know, 24:48 there's" listening money, " 24:50 and there's even" shock money. "I said, 24:52 " Indonesia, oh my God. "Anything you 24:56 can imagine, there is, 24:59 it exists, 24:59 it's there. So, unhealthy, bad 25:03 traditions that do not support unity or 25:07 love among us must be abandoned. Now, 25:11 we hope that the scholars who deliver 25:13 sermons will just deliver their sermons 25:16 . And we hope that later there will be 25:19 an institution that can fund the 25:20 scholars 'needs, like in Egypt, at 25:22 Al-Azhar. Al-Azhar provides for the 25:24 scholars so they don't accept any 25:26 compensation at all. When they come to 25:28 Indonesia, at most they are provided 25:30 with lodging at the school 25:32 but Al-Azhar pays for everything 25:35 with endowments that have been running 25:37 for over 1,000 years. Kang Rizal. 25:39 Yes. 25:40 How wonderful it would be if Indonesia 25:42 could do the same, but the problem is 25:44 even endowment funds get embezzled. 25:46 God is greatest. 25:47 Right? Even foundations belonging to 25:49 God are being snatched up, it's a mess. 25:51 Even printing the Quran is being 25:52 corrupted. 25:53 Oh my, it's extraordinary. 25:54 Extraordinary. Truly. May God save us 25:57 all. So, if you hold a tahlil for men 26:00 at the mosque 26:02 after Maghrib without invitations. If 26:05 this becomes a habit, people will 26:07 eventually gather on their own. 26:08 Yes. 26:08 Then for women, hold it at home. Let 26:12 the women bring things from their own 26:14 homes. 26:14 Right. No. They can bring rice cakes or 26:18 food to comfort the family. Eating 26:21 together is beautiful, but not as a 26:24 treat provided by the host, isn't that 26:28 nice, Ustaz? Mashallah. 26:30 In life, what's truly important is love 26:32 ; even if you're wealthy and have money 26:34 , if there's no love and no mercy, what 26:37 does it mean? Love is light, while 26:39 emptiness comes from darkness and the 26:42 loss of mercy in our hearts. God knows 26:44 best. 26:46 Alright, earlier you told a story about 26:48 an Ustaz who had a dream like that, 26:49 especially since he was, you could say, 26:51 a leader of the study group, Ustaz. To 26:54 the point of being ostracized like that 26:55 . And in society, it's the same, Ustaz. 26:57 Sometimes there are Ustaz 26:58 who fear being ostracized, and the 27:00 public is also afraid of being 27:02 criticized by others. How do we stay 27:05 firm in that situation, Ustaz? 27:07 God granted him, alhamdulillah, perhaps 27:08 he realized it after the dream 27:10 he changed and felt comfortable. He 27:11 said," My heart feels light. "Yes. I 27:13 If before, he felt, let's say, he took 27:15 the money, but his heart wasn't happy. 27:18 Once he left that, his heart was happy 27:20 and subhanallah, shortly after that, he 27:22 passed away. 27:23 Oh, mashallah. 27:24 In a state of husnul khatimah (a good 27:25 end). Amin ya rabbal alamin. 27:28 So money is not everything. Now, if the 27:30 Ustaz is greedy for money, we shouldn't 27:32 be surprised if the people's 27:33 representatives are crazy about money. 27:34 Yes. 27:35 The same goes for the officials at the 27:37 top. Why worry about taxes from small 27:41 merchants who are struggling, whose 27:43 profits aren't even clear, yet they are 27:46 still taxed? If you want to tax the 27:48 commoners, tax the oligarchs at the top 27:50 . 27:50 Yeah. 27:51 Including officials, what is their 27:53 income, do they pay taxes? 27:57 What can you say? P 27:59 moving on 28:00 let's read a question, Ustaz, from Pak 28:02 Yudi. Wow, this is our loyal listener, 28:04 Ustaz Yudi. 28:06 Assalamualaikum, Ustaz. How is it, 28:07 Ustaz? Please give us some advice so we 28:10 can be patient and steadfast, Ustaz, in 28:13 facing life's trials and tests, 28:14 especially at this time, Ustaz. 28:18 Question. 28:18 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious 28:19 , the Most Merciful. 28:21 What made the Prophet of Allah, Job ( 28:23 Ayub), patient? He understood the 28:28 characteristics of life in this world 28:30 as a series of tests and trials. Yes. 28:33 The rich are tested, and the poor are 28:35 tested. Perhaps people think," We want 28:38 to be tested with wealth instead. "" We 28:41 have been tested with poverty, we want 28:43 to be tested with wealth, or we want to 28:45 be tested with health; we have already 28:47 experienced being tested with a 28:49 long-term illness. "Allah tests His 28:52 servants according to their 28:54 capabilities. 28:56 There are people who, if tested with 28:57 wealth, become forgetful of themselves 28:59 and could cast themselves into the fire 29:01 of hell. There are people who, if 29:04 tested with hardship, fall into despair 29:05 . Allah gives trials that are 29:07 appropriate to their abilities. La 29:09 yukallifulahu nafsan 29:10 illa. 29:13 Besides, Job realized that the 29:15 characteristic of worldly life is a 29:17 test to examine who is grateful and who 29:19 is patient. He did not lose heart, nor 29:22 did he despair. Why? Because he clung 29:25 to the Lord, the Most Gracious and the 29:26 Most Merciful. He felt it when his 29:29 children were taken by Allah one by one 29:32 . This is a trust from Allah. When 29:35 Allah takes it? I have no right to 29:37 refuse. And this is not a final 29:39 farewell forever. It is only for a few 29:41 moments in this worldly life. When his 29:44 wealth was taken by Allah, he said," 29:46 Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un, " 29:48 everything belongs to Allah. He gives, 29:50 and when He wants to take it back, it 29:52 is His right. Likewise, when his body 29:54 was tested with illness, he did not 29:56 complain. After enduring the trial, he 30:00 prayed to Allah for healing, and Allah 30:02 healed his illness and replaced what 30:03 was lost with even more. So, everyone 30:08 is actually undergoing trials; it is 30:10 not certain that those who are laughing 30:12 are truly happy in their souls. But 30:17 those who are grateful when receiving 30:19 blessings and patient when facing the 30:21 bitterness of life, they realize that 30:23 everything is under the supervision of 30:25 Allah, the Rahman and Rahim. They are 30:28 the ones whose lives will be peaceful 30:30 and serene. Thus, the Prophet said," 30:33 Truly amazing is the state of my people 30:35 . "When a believer is tested with 30:38 goodness, he is grateful. Allah 30:42 increases his blessings. When tested 30:44 with hardship, he is patient, Allah 30:47 forgives his sins, and Allah also 30:49 rewards him without measure. So, in 30:52 both circumstances, he is completely 30:54 fortunate. 30:54 So if you say you are being tested with 30:57 something, look at this worldly life; 30:59 soon you and everyone will leave it. We 31:01 are heading toward a more eternal life. 31:04 Earth in the midst of this universe is 31:07 almost non-existent. It means nothing 31:09 at all. It is small, yet it is fought 31:13 over by billions of greedy and 31:15 rapacious humans. Even though if they 31:20 leave this worldly life, which might 31:23 last 80, 90, or 100 years, it is only 1 31:25 /10th of a single day in the hereafter. 31:29 One day there is equal to 1,000 years 31:31 in our count. The difference is that 31:33 the hereafter has no end. And 31:35 the paradise that Allah has provided 31:37 for those who believe is as vast as the 31:38 heavens and the earth. As vast as the 31:41 heavens 31:41 and the earth. 31:42 Know that research results show the 31:47 diameter of the universe, or the 31:51 observable universe, is estimated to be 31:55 93 billion light-years. 93 billion 32:01 light-years. 32:02 Light. Even though light travels at 32:04 300,000 km per second. If you go from 32:08 Earth to the moon at the speed of light 32:10 , it only takes about a second. From 32:12 Earth to the sun, it only takes about 8 32:15 minutes. Now, imagine heaven, which is 32:18 as vast as the heavens and the earth, 32:20 compared to the diameter currently 32:23 observable by humans, 93 billion 32:25 light-years. Which one do you think is 32:28 more pleasant? Earth, which is cramped, 32:30 crowded, and packed. Now, even to 32:33 breathe, you have to stand in line. 32:35 Just imagine it. 32:36 Yes. 32:38 Especially with people who are hostile, 32:41 greedy, covetous, and lacking mercy and 32:43 a sense of justice. Is worldly life 32:46 comfortable? What we ask for is a life 32:50 equipped with righteous deeds that 32:52 Allah is pleased with. It is not 32:54 worldly supplies that save us, but 32:56 hoping for Allah's mercy to end in a 32:58 good state, husnul khatimah, and to be 33:00 gathered with Allah's beloved. That is 33:02 what we long for. As for the world, 33:04 just enough for what we wear, what we 33:06 eat, what we drink, and providing for 33:08 our family. 33:10 Anything more is not necessarily 33:11 beneficial for us. Now, if we are given 33:14 excess, we should give in charity, 33:15 helping others as a provision for the 33:17 afterlife; that is the best kind of 33:18 wealth in the hands of those who are 33:20 grateful to Allah. Wallahu'alam. 33:23 Alright then. Thank you for the answer, 33:24 Ustaz. A question from Mr. Yudi. Then a 33:26 question from Mrs. Cani Hujaifah, right 33:30 . 33:30 Yes. 33:31 Uh, Ustaz, the question is regarding 33:34 how to perform ablution (wudu) when we 33:37 want to travel to Surabaya by train, 33:40 Ustaz. We ask for your enlightenment, 33:43 Ustaz. Maybe from Jakarta to Surabaya, 33:45 Ustaz. The distance 33:46 is quite far and takes hours, Ustaz. 33:48 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Rabbana zidna 33:51 ilman wa alhiqna bissalihin. Some 33:55 people suggest performing tayammum, but 33:58 on the train, there is no dust or sand, 34:03 right. 34:03 If you bring some, you could do it. But 34:05 actually, on the train, in the bathroom 34:07 , we can perform wudu properly. Usually 34:12 , you use a button, right. 34:13 Hmm. 34:14 We push the button. We use our right 34:16 hand for this. 34:17 With the intention of Bismillah, then 34:21 we use our right hand to wipe. Spread 34:25 it slowly while praying. Asking Allah 34:28 Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to cleanse our face 34:30 , which represents our heart. To purify 34:33 it, to wipe away sins from our sight, 34:36 our tongue, our hearing. Ask Allah 34:39 Ta'ala. Now, for our hand we press the 34:44 knob with what? Our left hand to wipe. 34:48 Hm. 34:49 Wiping not from here, 34:50 from the top 34:51 so that it doesn't flow back 34:52 upward. From top to bottom. 34:55 Maybe some people say, doesn't the 34:57 Quran say, what is it? Faghsilu 34:59 wujuhakum wa aidiyakum ilal marafiq. 35:02 Ilal 35:02 marafiq. 35:04 Wash starting from what? The fingertips 35:06 up to the elbows (marafiq). It explains 35:07 the elbows, not starting the wash, it 35:10 explains the limit of what is washed. 35:12 The limit that 35:13 is washed. 35:14 Washed, because if we go from here to 35:16 here, it will surely wet here. But from 35:18 the very top is enough. So take it, 35:21 press with your right hand, get water 35:23 while praying that our hands are 35:25 cleansed from stains and sins. Then 35:28 what do we do, press it with the left 35:30 hand, yes. Then we wash the right hand, 35:33 we wash our left hand with our right 35:35 hand. Like that, get water, wash, after 35:37 that wipe. 35:39 Easy, right? Now, for the feet, some 35:42 are of the opinion to wipe on what? 35:47 Wipe on top of the shoes. If I am 35:50 inclined to follow 35:52 the opinion of some companions. Wiping 35:54 directly on the feet. Yes, we wipe the 35:57 top of the feet like this. Take a 35:58 little water, wipe the right one, and 36:00 the left one, just like on a plane, 36:02 it's the same. 36:03 You mean without taking off the shoes, 36:04 Ustaz. What? 36:05 There are those who do al-mas ala 36:06 al-khuffain, right? 36:06 Yes. 36:07 Yes. If for me, I prefer wiping 36:10 directly on the feet. 36:11 Meaning the shoes are taken off, Ustaz. 36:13 The shoes are taken off. 36:13 Yes. 36:14 We can wear sandals and wipe directly 36:16 on the feet 36:17 because that is what some companions 36:19 did. 36:19 Yes. 36:20 Wipe. So it doesn't wet what? The floor 36:23 . 36:23 The floor. Correct. 36:25 It doesn't wet the floor. So it's very 36:27 light, very simple. Religion is very 36:29 easy. 36:29 Yes. 36:30 So we start by washing our face. by 36:35 taking water with our right hand while 36:37 pressing the knob. 36:39 After that, for the right hand, we 36:41 press with our right hand and wash our 36:44 right hand with our left hand. After 36:46 that, wipe the hair and then wipe the 36:48 top of the feet. Now, those who prefer 36:50 to wipe on the shoes, please go ahead. 36:51 Yes. 36:52 Now, as for me, I choose to wipe on the 36:56 top, the top part of our feet like that 36:59 . And Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala la 37:02 yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha. 37:07 So even though it's not as perfect as 37:09 at home, it's enough, right, Ustaz? 37:11 All right, Ustaz. 37:12 It's just that there is a view that 37:14 says to wipe from here to the elbow, 37:16 but it all spills onto the clothes. 37:18 Hm. 37:18 So it's simplest if the water goes down 37:21 like this and doesn't waste much water 37:24 from the elbow down, right? 37:25 From the elbow down. 37:26 For the radio listeners, they can't see 37:28 , Ustaz. Yes. So the risk is from the 37:31 elbow, the risk is going down to the 37:33 fingertips. 37:34 Fingertips, yes. 37:35 Now, it won't spill back. 37:36 Yes. 37:37 Although there is an opinion that 37:39 follows the text of the Qur'an, 37:40 the text, not the understanding. So 37:43 wujuhakum wa aydiyakum alal marafiq is 37:45 considered starting from the fingertips 37:48 to the elbow. Even though it actually 37:50 explains the limits that must be washed 37:52 . 37:53 All right. All right. Hopefully that is 37:55 answered, Ibu Cani. God willing, it is 37:57 easier. All right, Ustaz, maybe we can 37:59 try the closing, Ustaz, before we 38:01 finish. 38:02 So, the conclusion in this life is, if 38:04 we truly purify our worship only to 38:07 Allah, do deeds also for Allah, and 38:09 accept the trials that come from Allah 38:11 with full sincerity, God willing, our 38:14 lives will never be shaken and it will 38:16 straighten our hearts so we are not 38:18 carried away by fanaticism toward 38:21 groups, factions, sects, or schools of 38:23 thought. Why? Everything is heading 38:26 toward Allah. But if we forget 38:29 sincerity (al-ikhlas), in the end, 38:31 everything turns toward our own 38:32 interests, for groups, for this, for 38:35 that, and so on. But for the sincere, 38:38 let alone asking from others, they are 38:40 willing to sacrifice to gain the 38:41 pleasure of Allah. 38:44 Well, that's why there are demands for 38:46 fees, then payments for this and 38:47 payments for that. 38:49 Because deeds are no longer done for 38:51 Allah. The excuse is that we are human, 38:54 we need to eat, we need to drink, right 38:56 . You work for Allah as what? As a 38:58 scholar. How could Allah not provide 39:00 for you? 39:01 If you believe in Allah, Allah will 39:02 surely sustain you. It is even better 39:04 than hoping from humans. Don't be like 39:07 a cat waiting for food on the table. 39:10 Given a fish bone, just the bones left. 39:13 If you ask Allah, Allah gives the best 39:15 for us. 39:16 Masha Allah. 39:16 This is what causes clerics, kyais, and 39:18 scholars to be looked down upon by 39:20 businessmen and officials. Because they 39:22 have no authority or self-respect. They 39:25 desire what is in the hands of 39:26 businessmen, in the hands of those in 39:28 power. Try desiring what is with Allah 39:30 Almighty. Even if poor, you would hold 39:32 your head high before them. Even be 39:33 brave enough to critique and admonish 39:35 them. 39:36 That is all, brothers and sisters, who 39:37 are blessed by Allah. Subhanakallahumma 39:39 wabihamdik ashadu alla ilaha illa anta 39:42 astagfiruka wa atubu ilaik wal afu 39:44 minkum. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi 39:47 wabarakatuh. 39:48 Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi 39:49 wabarakatuh. That was it, brothers and 39:51 sisters, reflections under the shade of 39:53 the Quran, dialogue or question and 39:54 answer edition. Thank you, Ustaz, for 39:56 the answers, and Iwan, thank you as 39:58 well for your company. 40:01 We take our leave, I am Rizal Hak, 40:03 along with the team on duty, Bang Ondi, 40:04 Bang Algi, and our interns here. Has 40:07 Bang Yusuf arrived yet? We take our 40:09 leave. Billahi taufik walhidayah. 40:10 Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi 40:12 wabarakatuh.
