Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be
upon you. All praise is due to Allah,
Lord of the worlds. O Allah, send
blessings upon our Master Muhammad and
upon the family of our Master Muhammad.
Broadcasting from Jalan Masjid
Silaturahim number 36, Kalimanggis,
Cibubur, Bekasi. Radio Silaturahim, for
the one Islam. Brothers and sisters who
are blessed by Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala, how are you this afternoon? May
you be in good health and always under
the protection of Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. This afternoon, brothers and
sisters, we are very happy to meet you
again in our afternoon lecture program
with our teacher, Ustad Zaid M. Bahmid.
Alhamdulillah, he has joined us and is
connected via the Zoom application, and
we are on Monday, July 13, 2026. The
topic he will discuss is understanding
the unseen (al-ghayb) in Islam.
Brothers and sisters, as usual, we
invite you to join the dialogue, share
your comments, or express your opinions
on our topic this afternoon. I am
Biagus, accompanied by Neza at the
Radio Silaturahim switcher desk, and
Yusuf Subangkit at the radio operator
desk. Without further ado, brothers and
sisters, let us greet our teacher.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be
upon you, Ustad.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be
upon you.
Are you well, Ustad?
All praise to Allah, in health and
well-being.
Masya Allah, tabarakallah. Very well,
brothers and sisters. Let us together
listen to the lecture that will be
delivered by our teacher, Ustad Zaid M.
Bahmid. Please, Ustad.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be
upon you.
Peace be upon you.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. All praise is due
to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Praise be
to Allah, who has guided us; and we
would never have been guided if Allah
had not guided us. Then, all praise is
for Allah; we praise Him and seek His
help. And we seek refuge in Allah from
the evils of our souls and the badness
of our deeds. Whoever Allah guides,
there is none to lead him astray. And
whoever He sends astray, you will find
for him no protector or guide. I bear
witness that there is no god but Allah,
alone with no partner. And I bear
witness that Muhammad is His servant
and messenger. O Allah, send blessings,
peace, and abundance upon our master
Muhammad, the Prophet of Mercy. And
upon his family and companions, and
grant them abundant peace. Allah the
Exalted says. To Allah belongs whatever
is in the heavens and whatever is on
the earth. And We have instructed those
who were given the Scripture before you
and yourselves to have taqwa of Allah.
But if you disbelieve, then to Allah
belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on the earth. And ever is
Allah Free of need and Praiseworthy.
Dear listeners, noble servants of Allah
. Wherever you may be. Alhamdulillah,
we meet again in health and well-being.
And God willing, may those who are
currently ill have their health
restored by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
to an even better state. And for those
who are traveling and managed to tune
in to this program, may God willing,
Allah Ta'ala help you reach your
destination safely. I begin by reciting
the verse, "To Allah belongs whatever
is in the heavens and whatever is on
the earth.""And We have instructed
those who were given the Scripture
before you and yourselves to have taqwa
of Allah." In this verse, Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala reminds all of us
that it is in the hands of Allah. Our
lives in this world, the possessions we
own in this world, everything that
grows in the world we inhabit, and in
this entire universe, all of that
belongs to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and is under His grasp. Then Allah
Ta'ala declares, "wa kanallahu ghaniyan
hamida." And Allah is the One who is
All-Sufficient, needing nothing from us
. Allah does not need us to worship Him
. It is we who need Allah, so we need
to worship Him. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala reminds us: "wa in takfuru
fainnallaha ghaniyun ankum." If you
take uh, take the path of rebelling
against Allah, Allah is All-Sufficient;
Allah does not need anything from us.
Allah does not need our worship. But
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala greatly
appreciates those who worship Him.
Those who are skilled at being grateful
to Him, thankful for Allah's blessings.
That is why Allah Ta'ala states this
verse. And Allah Ta'ala gives a
testament (wasiyah). Yes. Now, a
testament is different from uh,
commanding. A testament is like this.
Let me give an example. When someone
makes a testament, they desire that
what they have conveyed continues to
happen. Do not betray it. Because when
we make a testament to our children,
grandchildren, or family, for example,
we want it to be carried out exactly as
we desire. So Allah Ta'ala states, "
walakad wassainalladzina utul kitaba
min qablikum wa iyyakum." So Allah
Ta'ala gives a testament to you, uh, to
the nations before you, before us. And
that includes you, including all of us.
"Walakad wassainalladzina utul kitaba
min qablikum wa iyyakum." What is
Allah's testament? Allah also gave a
testament to the people of the Book and
the nations before you, before us now,
before our time. "Anittaquallah." So
that we live in obedience to Allah
Ta'ala. Truly, we apply our fear and
piety to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Because what saves us in this worldly
life and the hereafter is piety. In
another hadith, Allah Ta'ala declares,
the Messenger shallallahu alaihi
wasallam declares, yes. "Alaika" Pump
piety into yourself. "Fainnaha ajma'un
khairul khair." Because our piety will
gather all goodness in every step we
take, the life we lead, and also in the
hereafter when we are moved by Allah to
the realm of Barzakh. Our piety to
Allah plays an extraordinary role. Now,
we will talk about the unseen. Our
knowledge of the unseen. Because this
is in a hadith of the Messenger
sallallahu alaihi wasallam, someone
asked the Messenger of Allah, "Ya
Rasulullah, akhbirna.""Explain to us.""
Akhbirna minal ghaib.""Explain to us
about the unseen.""This is from the
unseen." Then the Messenger sallallahu
alaihi wasallam answered them, "
Mafatihul ghaib khamsah." The keys to
the unseen are five. The keys to the
unseen. Then the Messenger sallallahu
alaihi wasallam recited the verse at
the end of Surah Luqman. Then this
verse, this answer from the Messenger
of Allah, is certainly a revelation
from Jibril alaihisalam, from Allah
Ta'ala. Allah the Almighty preserved
this in the Quran for us all. So that
we are not negligent, so we know what
is unseen and what is clear. Now,
regarding the unseen, Allah is the Most
Unseen. Allah the Almighty is a Being
who is truly unseen. We cannot see Him,
we cannot feel Him, we cannot touch Him
, nor can we be touched by Him. And we
cannot know the nature of Allah, except
for what little Allah has explained in
the Quran. Then the Prophet, peace be
upon him, explained the unseen to them.
Now, before we enter this verse, the
unseen is truly very intriguing. The
unseen is very intriguing. Let me give
you an example. If, for instance,
someone reported that there is someone
in a certain village, or let's just say
in Jakarta, for example. In Jakarta,
there is a normal human—everything is
normal—but they have four legs. But
they are a normal human, truly human,
and very smart too. A smart
conversationalist. People would flock
in droves to go and see them. Why?
Because they have never seen a
four-legged human. Four-legged animals,
yes, but they have never seen a
four-legged human. So, sometimes
something is unseen in our knowledge
simply because we have never seen it
before. Take another example. There are
now fish species that live mostly in
very deep, vast seas and rarely come to
the surface. Subhanallah. And those
experts who research the sea and what
is inside the sea, have only just
discovered them. I was browsing YouTube
for something, and Subhanallah, I was
shown a fish with a very strange shape.
They said this was just discovered;
they only recently learned that there
are living creatures created by Allah
that live in the depths of the ocean,
and the species was just found. Because
we only see the fish that we usually
know, that we usually see. So, humans
are indeed very interested in things
they have never seen. Or things they
cannot see; they are very interested in
that. If we talk about jinn, people
want to know what a jinn looks like.
Because we truly cannot see jinn. In
the Quran, Allah the Almighty explains
this. Regarding the jinn, He says they
see you from a place where you cannot
see them. They see us, all of you, from
a place where we cannot see them. So,
the jinn are among the unseen creatures
. So there are Allah's unseen creatures
, yet we want to know, we want to see.
Yes, so if someone tells even a little
story about unseen creatures, crowds of
people will flock to see and want to
know. One of them is the angels. Angels
are unseen creatures. Yes. There is a
hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon
him, that explains to us if we pray
alone at home, yes. Whether we pray
Tahajjud or other voluntary prayers.
The Prophet, peace be upon him,
reminded us not to pray carelessly.
Because sometimes there are jinn and
angels praying behind you. That is from
the hadith of the Prophet, peace be
upon him. For example, if we are
performing Tahajjud and Allah places us
alone, well, during Tahajjud at night,
people are already asleep. Wanting to
seek Allah’s pleasure, wanting to
communicate with Allah the Almighty.
The best time. Watahajjud bihi
nafilatan lak. Asa ayyab'atsaka rabbuka
maqaman mahmuda. So, the hadith says,
waminal laili fatahajjad. Yes. During
part of the night, perform Tahajjud.
The point is, we are performing
Tahajjud at night. Alone. Sometimes
even our wives are asleep. Then, when
we say the salam to the right and left,
we see two different creatures of Allah
behind us. What would happen? One of
two things. They would either faint
immediately. Or they would run away in
terror. They might even jump out of the
window. Out of fear. So, Allah the
Almighty created unseen beings, and
there is a limit where we cannot see
them. But they see us. Yes, in another
hadith, the Prophet, peace be upon him,
reminded us, "Maamin qaumin
yadzukurunallah illahafadzihimul
malaikah." There is a group remembering
Allah. There is a group remembering
Allah. Whether they are reciting the
Quran, doing dhikr, yes. Or discussing
religion, discussing how to draw closer
to Allah, that is called a majlis of
dhikr. Allah the Almighty sends down
thousands of angels. We cannot see them
. But we believe and trust in it
because it is the hadith of the Prophet
, peace be upon him. So, there are
matters of the unseen that we can only
accept with faith. Even if our eyes
have never seen them. Because these
matters of the unseen are indeed very
intriguing in human life. So when
someone asked the Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, "O Messenger of
Allah, akhbirna," meaning, "O Messenger
of Allah, explain to us.""Akhbirna
minal gaib." Regarding the matters of
the unseen. Then the Prophet explained,
"Al-mafatihul gaib khamsah," the keys
to the unseen are five. Then the
Prophet recited the end of Surah Luqman
to them. First, the Prophet said there
are five. The first thing the Prophet,
peace be upon him, said was, "Innallaha
indahu ilmus saah." Indeed, with Allah
alone is the knowledge of the Hour, the
knowledge of the Day of Judgment. Well,
that Day of Judgment is of two kinds.
Kiamatul kubra and Kiamatus sughra.
Another hadith says, "Idza mata Ibnu
Adam Qomat Kiamatuh." So, when a person
dies, their own judgment day occurs.
The Prophet stated that when a child of
Adam dies, their judgment day happens.
That is just their personal judgment
day. Because many things promised by
Allah for the Day of Judgment will
happen to them. When they pass away.
The knowledge of this Day of Judgment
is not just about the Great Judgment
Day. It includes the Day of Judgment
that will happen to each of us. And
there is the form of the Minor Day of
Judgment. Like things collapsing.
Buildings being destroyed is the Minor
Judgment. People dying while crushed by
buildings is the Minor Judgment. And we
do not know where that will happen. No
human being knows. So, knowledge about
the Day of Judgment is something no
human knows. But in several hadiths,
the Messenger of Allah showed that
signs of its occurrence exist. Is it
the Minor Judgment or the Major
Judgment? If it is the Major Judgment,
then, Masha Allah. There is no remedy,
no comparison. But when the Major
Judgment occurs, humans will be divided
by Allah into two groups. Khafidhotun
Rofiah. Some Allah Ta'ala will lower
and disgrace, and others Allah Ta'ala
will raise their status. It goes back
to each one of us. So, even if it
happens in the minor judgment, meaning
death, some are honored by Allah Ta'ala
when they pass, and some are disgraced,
lowered by Allah Ta'ala. So, the
Messenger (peace be upon him) stated
that is the first among the keys to the
unseen. Then, the Messenger (peace be
upon him) stated, "wa yunazzilul ghaib.
" And the second, when and where Allah
Ta'ala will send down rain is Allah
Ta'ala's knowledge; no one knows. No
one can know. If, for example, we say,
there is now, what is it? Subhanallah,
what is it called? What they often
explain on television. Weather forecast
. That is a forecast, not a certainty.
A forecast, they even call it a weather
forecast. They will say it will rain
heavily here, there, and there.
Sometimes it happens, because Allah
Ta'ala has given signs, like clouds
full of water droplets in a certain
area. But, sometimes those clouds are
carried by the wind, moved by Allah,
and the water is dropped in another
place. That is precisely why many
weather forecasts are inaccurate.
Actually, it is not the forecast that
is wrong. It is because they cannot
determine when the wind will blow to
carry these clouds. And from where the
wind that moves these clouds will blow.
But Allah gave knowledge; there is
already radar that can detect. That
these clouds contain many water
droplets. Now, listeners who are
honored by Allah Ta'ala. When we look
at clouds. If we look at clouds, don't
be fooled by their appearance. Some are
very white like cotton, Masha Allah,
yes. And we might think those clouds
are light. They easily and slowly move
from one place to another. Those clouds
can sometimes weigh not just hundreds
of tons. Thousands of tons. A ton is,
well, a ton is 1,000 kilos. One ton is
1,000 kilos. There are clouds that
weigh thousands of kilos, tens of
thousands of kilos, hundreds of
thousands of kilos. Heavy clouds.
Because they carry water. Containing
hills of, what, water droplets. Where
these water droplets will be dropped is
part of the unseen. That means the
unseen is something we cannot know.
Now, it has been some time ago. We have
received, masyaallah, an extraordinary
flood. Prolonged rain. Let's try to
calculate, how many million gallons of
rain fall in one hour. Sometimes it
rains, covering all of East Jakarta,
and parts of Bekasi. South Jakarta is
covered by rain at the same time. Try
to contemplate how many gallons of
water God pours down from the sky. Well
, just calculate how much it weighs
approximately. Water, on average, 1
liter weighs 1 kilo. If it's water. 1
liter is 1 kilo. If 1 gallon is 5
liters, that means 5 kilos. If the
water poured, for example, in one hour
is 5,000 gallons. If it's just in one
small place. In one hour. For example,
5,000 gallons. That's just one place.
But if East Jakarta and South Jakarta
are covered, wow, raining continuously
for one or two hours, how many millions
of gallons fall? Now, imagine that
water being lifted by the clouds.
Subhanallah. In fact, in aviation,
there are clouds we cannot enter, which
planes shouldn't attempt to enter, it's
dangerous. There are clouds that
contain ice stones. Ice. In English,
it's called hail. If it falls,
sometimes, eh, car windows can break.
Even if the car windshield is slanted,
because of that hail, it can break. Now
, let's go back to this verse. Allahu
subhanahu wa ta'ala declares only He
knows the unseen of when and where rain
will fall. Usually, weather forecasts
use radar to detect, oh, there is a
cloud containing extraordinary water
droplets. They estimate, oh, over East
Jakarta it is full of those clouds. And
they say there will be heavy rain in
East Jakarta. But it turns out it only
rains for a moment and then stops, not
heavy rain. Because most of these
clouds have been moved by the wind to
another place. Let us contemplate for a
moment. What kind of wind did God
create that can move clouds carrying
millions of tons of water? Just imagine
. Try to imagine. So Allahu subhanahu
wa ta'ala declares, "Walillahi ma fis
samawati wa ma fil ardhi wa kanallahu
ghaniyan hamida." In God's hands is
what is in the heavens and what is on
earth. What moves on earth and what
moves in the sky. What grows on earth
and what is in the sky. That is all in
the hands of Allah ta'ala. So that is
one of the keys to the unseen. Wa
yunazzilul ghaib. And only He knows
where, when, and He is the one who
sends down the rain. Sometimes weather
forecasts are not accurate either. Yes,
because it is called a forecast. The
second. The third. Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala states, "Wa ya'lamu ma fil arham
." This is also very interesting. This
verse, subhanallah, the Quranic verse
is extraordinary. Let's just imagine it
. The Quran was revealed by Allah 1,500
years ago. The Quran, yes. 1,500 years
ago. Until now, human awe for the Quran
is extraordinary. In fact, many only
see the truth of the Quran through
technological advances. It's been more
than 1,500 years. Just take mobile
phones, for example. When the first
mobile phones came out, everyone was
amazed. People were incredibly amazed.
But just three years later, the phone
changed, the technology became more
advanced. Cameras were added. Three
years later, phones evolved, and they
could be used for more than just voice
calls; you could send long messages.
Masyaallah. Extraordinary. Then the
first phone that came out became
outdated. The second one became even
more outdated. Now there is a term
called an old-school phone. Old-school.
Meaning it’s outdated. But the Quran,
Allah Ta'ala declares, um...sanurihim
ayatina fil afaqi wa fi anfusihim. We,
Allah, will show them the truth about
the verses of the Quran, the signs of
Allah, the power of Allah in this
universe and within themselves. So when
we look at the clouds, they look light,
moving when blown by the wind. And we
think of those clouds as just vapor
forming into clouds. Yet they carry
water that is incredibly heavy. Just
imagine that, masyaallah. So, the third
thing is Allah Ta'ala states, wa
ya'lamu ma fil arham. Subhanallah. And
He is the one who knows what is growing
in a woman's womb. Yes, Allah Ta'ala
mentions the arham, yes, the female
womb. Only He knows. Now, we might want
to boast. Because now we have
ultrasounds. Pregnant people get
ultrasounds. The doctor can later say,
"Oh, this is a boy or this is a girl."
That is only after Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala has created it. Exactly, if you
are only three months pregnant and want
an ultrasound to see if it's a boy or
girl, the doctor will say wait. It
cannot be seen yet. It is not yet
complete, it cannot be seen. If I am
not mistaken, it takes at least four
months to see if it's a boy or a girl.
And even then, doctors are sometimes
wrong. Wrong. And that actually
happened in America. America, where
technology is already extraordinary. I
was in America when this issue happened
. On television, it was such a huge
controversy. Because a married couple,
when having an ultrasound, the doctor
said it was a girl. Apparently, when
the ultrasound was done—that was in
'82. Imagine, '82, over 44 years ago.
So perhaps the ultrasound technology
was not yet perfect. So this couple was
very happy, incredibly happy. Because
they were going to have a daughter. So
they bought and prepared all the
supplies for a baby girl. And this
married couple happened to be wealthy
people. How do I know? Because at the
time, it was all over the television.
This case was brought to television. As
soon as a boy was born. What happened?
Finally, the married couple sued the
doctor. In America, when it comes to
lawsuits, oh my goodness. They sued for
damages. Because their lawyer claimed
the woman was under stress. Emotional
distress. Uh, emotional stress.
Emotions, she was stressed due to
emotions. Emotional stress. Well,
lawyers there are very clever. Not like
some of our lawyers here, who like to
play both sides. But the lawyers there
are very smart. We have many honest
lawyers here, mashallah, many. But many
also like to play both sides. Just
acting as middlemen. To get money here,
and get money there. Now, this is
because Allah Ta'ala declares "wa
ya'lamu ma fil arham," only He knows
what is developing in the womb. An
ultrasound can only see it after Allah
has created it perfectly. Only then is
it visible if it's a boy or a girl.
This incident in '82 in America ended
with them saying the baby was
positioned poorly, so the buttocks
looked like genitals. It was still very
small, you see. So they said it was a
baby girl. That was 44 years ago; now,
ultrasounds are even more advanced,
mashallah. But before a certain month,
the child is already developing.
Whatever ultrasound you use, you won't
know if it's a boy or a girl. Only
Allah Ta'ala can determine if it is a
boy or a girl. Therefore, to all
listeners who are honored by Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. If you are
pregnant, or your child is pregnant, or
your wife is pregnant wanting a
specific child, a boy or a girl? It's
easy. Raise your hands to Allah. Ask
Allah, "O Allah, I desire a baby girl,
if that is good for me.""You know my
heart desires a baby girl." Meaning, in
other words, we must be skilled at
coaxing Allah Ta'ala. Don't just be
good at coaxing your boss because you
want something. A wife is only good at
coaxing her husband if she wants a
jewelry set or new ornaments. Yes. Coax
Allah. We look in the Quran. Prophet
Zakariya alaihissalam desired an
extraordinary child. Look at how he
coaxed Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. But
he didn't ask for a boy or a girl. He
only wanted his lineage not to be cut
off. His plea was short but
extraordinary. What did he say in his
prayer? "Lam akun bidu'aika rabbi
shaqiyya." So Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
narrated Prophet Zakariya's prayer in
the Quran. So if we pray to Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, use beautiful
sentences to coax Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala with soft, beautiful words.
Whether you want a boy or a girl, lift
your hands to Allah. Allah Ta'ala
declares, "Ud'uni astajib lakum.""Call
upon Me, I will answer your call." Now,
sometimes it happens like this. The
womb is healthy, the man is healthy,
the husband is healthy, the wife is
healthy. Yet, why hasn't Allah Ta'ala
filled that woman's womb? Eventually,
some think, "Let's follow current
knowledge.""Let's try in vitro
fertilization (IVF)." IVF is not about
developing a baby in a tube, no. It
only brings the male and female cells
together, yes. In a tube, then it is
injected into the womb. But as it turns
out, you can check online.
Approximately what percentage of IVF
succeeds? It is only about 40%. That's
not my opinion, just look it up online.
40%succeed. More than 60%fail. So if we
pursue IVF, don't stop hoping while
lifting hands to Allah Ta'ala. So
actually, this IVF is just to make it
easier. But once they meet, where will
it develop? Inside the womb. It cannot
develop outside the womb. It is
impossible. Sometimes humans rely on
technology. They forget to lift their
hands to Allah. They forget that Allah
created everything. Allah Ta'ala states
, "Wa ya'lamu ma fil arham," and only
He knows what He will grow in the womb.
Male or female. Human or nothing,
nothing at all. There are servants of
Allah who have tried IVF twice. It did
not succeed. There are servants of
Allah who tried once. They were blessed
, Masha Allah. Because the one who
grows it in the womb is not the tube,
not inside the tube. Inside the womb.
Allah is the one who grows it. So if
Allah Ta'ala has stated, "Wa ya'lamu ma
fil arham." When a woman is pregnant or
starts to be pregnant, raise your hands
to Allah frequently in prayer.
Frequently lift your hands. Because the
growth of this embryo in the womb
depends on the power of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. And in Surah Al-Hajj, Allah
Ta'ala explains, there are those whom
Allah brings to birth, and those whom
Allah allows to miscarry. "Mukhallakah
wa ghairi mukhallakah." Allah Ta'ala
states there are those He perfects in
creation and those He does not, which
we know as miscarriage. Masha Allah.
Precisely for that reason, let us not
sever our bond with Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. Especially for husbands who
have just gotten married. Usually, when
newly married, both families—the
husband's family, the wife's family—
want them to have grandchildren quickly
. So that the newlyweds can quickly
give them grandchildren. Children and
grandchildren. There are servants of
Allah, women, usually I find this
during study groups. Some people ask, "
Ustaz, my child has been married for
years, I really want to have
grandchildren, I want to hold a
grandchild, but Allah has not ordained
it until now."
So, the One who nurtures in the womb
and makes the embryo healthy—let's
use the term embryo. That is Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Therefore, let us
raise our hands to Allah frequently and
pray to Allah Ta'ala. Whether you want
a boy or a girl, pray to Allah Ta'ala.
Sometimes we ask for a daughter. Allah
gives us a son. This means we must
believe that this is the best that
Allah has chosen for us. Raise your
hands to Allah. O Allah, You know
better what is best for me. But You
also know my heart desires a daughter.
So, we pray, but we leave the best
decision to Allah regarding what He
will grant us. And that is the third
point, yes. The fourth is about the
unseen things we cannot know. Innallaha
indahu ilmus sa'ah wa yunazzilul ghaib
wa ya'lamu ma fil arham wa ma tadri
nafsun ma dza taksibu ghadan. Masya
Allah. This verse is closely related to
what we discussed two weeks ago. Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala states, "wa ma
tadri nafsun," and no one knows what
they will earn tomorrow. Now, this "
tomorrow" is a long time. Very long. A
few days ago, I saw on television. A
few days ago, there was a high-ranking
official, masya Allah, with abundant
wealth, suddenly becoming viral for
being arrested. Going viral, well,
naturally, it's quite embarrassing. He
never thought this would happen to him.
This is what Allah Ta'ala reminds us of
: "wama tadri nafsun mada taksibu gadan
." If a common person is arrested and
goes viral, it's not that interesting
and is quite common. But when a
high-ranking official who has power and
influence is arrested with all sorts of
negative comments, the shame is
extraordinary. And originally, he never
suspected this would happen to him.
This is also in the Quran, which we
discussed last week, where Allah Ta'ala
begins in Surah Al-Hashr: "Ya
ayyuhalladzina amanu ittaqullah,
waltandur nafsun ma qaddamat lighadin,
wattaqullah." Allah begins with "
Ittaqullah" and closes with the phrase
"Wattaqullah." No one knows what will
happen tomorrow. Then, in the verse
earlier, Allah Ta'ala states that we
should already have a plan. What plans
have you made to face tomorrow? To
protect ourselves from plans that will
bring ruin to our reputation and damage
our lives, yes. Return to Allah. That
is why Allah begins with, "Ya
ayyuhalladzina amanu ittaqullah.""
Waltandur nafsun ma qaddamat lighadin
wattaqullah." So, it means whenever we
plan for the future, we must not leave
out Allah's laws in our lives. We must
hold firmly to what is halal, and do
not even go near what is haram. It is
guaranteed by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
, guaranteed. They will be safe in this
world, safe in the hereafter. What is
the use of good health, of
extraordinary wealth, but then they
become a suspect. Even if they are not
a suspect, it has already gone viral
everywhere. It's a pity, their
reputation is destroyed. Their position
is ruined. Subhanallah. That is found
in a Hadith of the Messenger of Allah,
may peace be upon him, where he reminds
us like this: Inna hadzal mal
khodirotun halwa. Indeed, this wealth,
this property, in the eyes of sight, is
very sweet, green, and attractive. Who
doesn't want to be rich? Everyone wants
to be rich. Everyone wants to
accumulate wealth. Everyone wants to
have possessions here and there,
everywhere. So Allah Ta'ala states it
is attractive. But Allah Ta'ala reminds
, man akhodaha bi isyrofin nafs lam
yubarikh lahu fihi. But whoever obtains
it, seeks it, without caring whether it
is lawful or forbidden, consuming
everything, taking everything. Allah
Ta'ala says Allah will not grant them
blessings. And what does Allah Ta'ala
say? Wa kana kal ladzi ya'kulu wala
yasyba '. And they are like an animal
that eats and eats and is never full.
That is precisely why Allah Ta'ala
reminds us of a mystery that we do not
know, what will happen to us in the
future. We also do not know when we
enter the realm of Barzakh, entering
the unseen realm, we also do not know
what will happen. So we cannot see the
future. We can only guard ourselves so
that we know to draw closer to Allah,
to be obedient to Allah. Whatever our
position, do not ever try to play with
the laws of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
Because Allah Ta'ala states that no one
knows what will happen to them in the
future. Are there officials who go to
prison? Many. Are there smart people
who then avoid going to prison? Many.
Well, we do not know what fate Allah
might turn for us. That is precisely
why we must increase our closeness to
Allah. Ask for protection from Allahu
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. That is the fourth
. Actually, we still have a lot to
discuss for the fourth. But time limits
us. Let us look at the fifth. The one
where the Messenger of Allah, peace be
upon him, states there are five keys to
the unseen. Then the Messenger of Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala recited the verse
that Allah Ta'ala states in the Quran.
Wama tadri nafsun bi ayyi ardin tamut.
No person knows in which land they will
pass away. They might die on a plane,
perish in a plane crash. Or they might
die in a distant place or they might
die in their bed. Or they might die on
the road. Colliding with a car. Allah
Ta'ala states wama tadri nafsun bi ayyi
ardin tamut. In which land you will
pass away. That is what Allah Ta'ala
reminds us of. Yes, we can also
translate it as in which land we will
be buried, that is fine. I have several
friends, not just one, many such cases.
They came from various regions to seek
medical treatment in Jakarta. Upon
reaching Jakarta, they passed away and
were buried in Jakarta. Allah had
decreed that they would pass away in
Jakarta. There were those who had heart
surgery in Jakarta, after some time
they passed away; they thought, "on
such and such date I will return home,"
but before that date, they passed away
in Jakarta. That is precisely why the
Messenger, peace be upon him, reminded
us by reciting this verse. So that we
know what we do not know about the
future. And what wonders we are unaware
of. Hopefully, this reminder from Allah
and His Messenger becomes a means of
mercy for us all. If there is any error
before Allah, I hope for His
forgiveness. Waminallahi taufiq wal
hidayah, wassalamualaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters, we
have just listened to the sermon
delivered by our teacher, Ustaz Zaid M.
Hamid. We will take a short break first
. After that, we will answer several
questions from brothers and sisters
that have come into our number at 08111
999720. Stay with us. Brothers and
sisters, may Allah the Almighty bless
you, thank you for still being with us
on today's afternoon sermon program
with our teacher, Ustad Z. M. Bahmid.
There are several listeners who have
joined: Mrs. Fanny, Mrs. Hudzaifah, Mr.
Arwin, Mrs. Retno, Mr. Rusgandar, Eyang
Sri, and Mrs. Lisya. We will start with
the first question from Mrs. Fanny.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh, Ustad.
Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh.
May I ask, are destiny, sustenance, and
soulmates considered unseen things?
Then, if someone says they can see
unseen things, can that statement be
justified? Syukron. Ustad.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Allahumma
sholli ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ala
alihi sayyidina Muhammad. That is
indeed true. We only know once it has
happened. Sustenance, soulmates, yes,
those matters are indeed unseen, in the
hands of Allah the Almighty. Let me
just give an example like this. There
are people who have tried, we do not
know who a person's soulmate is, they
don't know. Whose child they will end
up with, they don't know. Suppose they
have a plan, "Oh, this person is
definitely perfect, they are good," for
example, you understand? As it turns
out, as time goes by, they don't get
married. The woman marries someone else
, the man marries someone else, because
we simply don't know. But whether it is
sustenance or a soulmate, we must
strive in a good way. Seeking a good
self. Seeking a soulmate in a good way.
Yes. Now. Someone once asked me this.
Ustad. This happened about 4-5 months
ago. Yes, or maybe about 8 months ago.
A woman, she was already 25 years old.
And she is, masyaAllah, a Hafizah of
the Quran. Then he asked me one time.
Ustadz. Could you explain how to find a
good spouse? I told him. Your spouse is
in the hands of Allah Ta'ala. Do not
chase after a spouse. If the time comes
, Allah Ta'ala will decree that your
spouse will come to you. Then he said,
don't we need to make an effort? Making
an effort is allowed. You may make an
effort. For example, a parent has a
daughter, there is a good friend or
someone at a religious gathering. They
say, "Ustadz, I have a daughter.""Maybe
if there is a good man, let's introduce
them, bring them together." That is a
good effort. But don't look for a
spouse at a disco or other such places.
Then if not long after, a divorce or
terrible argument happens, and we call
it destiny. That is you yourself
seeking a bad destiny.
Yeah.
Now, regarding this person who asked,
who is a Hafiz Quran, I told him.
Making a good effort is allowed. You
are a Hafiz Quran, you should know
better. So I said, do not chase after a
spouse, just raise your hands to Allah.
Don't be shy to ask Allah, "O Allah,
pair me with a good man," that is
allowed. Subhanallah. Right after
Ramadan ended yesterday, he told me. "
Ustadz, Alhamdulillah, I got married on
this date." Masyaallah.
Hmm.
Yes. Then I asked him, how did you meet
? How did it happen? "Oh, at that time,
her parents saw me, her parents noticed
me, then they offered to introduce me
to their daughter." It turned out to be
a good person. I asked, where did you
meet her parents? "At a study gathering
, sir.""At the time, at the opening, I
was asked to recite the Quran." Hmm.
That is a matter of the unseen, we
don't know. Only after it happens do we
know. So that is truly part of the
unseen in the hands of Allah Ta'ala. We
do not know our spouse or our provision
. Now, there is a Hadith of the
Messenger, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, stating that if you
try to avoid your provision, or death,
your provision will come to you
wherever you are, just as death will
come to you wherever you are. So that
is a matter of the unseen. But we are
commanded to make an effort to obtain
provision. Work. As for how much
provision will be given to us, that is
a matter of the unseen, Allah Ta'ala's
affair. Insyaallah, that is answered.
Yes, good. For Mrs. Fani, I hope that
answers it for the brothers and sisters
. Then the next question from Mrs.
Retno. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh, Ustadz.
Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh.
What is the rule for someone who passes
away in city A and is then taken to
city B to be buried?
Taken where?
From city A to city B, for example from
Jakarta to Bogor.
Okay. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
Allahumma sholli ala Sayyidina Muhammad
wa ala alihi. So, it is like this.
There is a hadith where the Prophet (
peace be upon him) instructs us to
hasten the burial of the deceased. Yes.
Let me give you an example. If the
journey is just from Jakarta to Bogor,
taking half an hour, maybe that's still
acceptable. But if we have to transport
a body by plane to be buried in one's
hometown, what for? Transporting a body
by plane is not cheap, you know. It's
not cheap. Nowadays, it might cost
around 12 to 13 million to transport a
body, for example, from Jakarta to
Sulawesi. So, it is best to bury them
exactly where they passed away. When
the Prophet’s (peace be upon him)
companions died in the Battle of Uhud,
some wanted to take them back to Mecca,
I mean, to Medina. Yes, because at that
time, Uhud was still outside of Medina.
Now, Mount Uhud has become part of the
Medina metropolitan area. Yet, the
Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered
them to be buried in Uhud. That is why
when we go for Hajj or Umrah and visit
Mount Uhud, we see many graves of the
Prophet’s companions who fell in
battle. So, it is best that wherever we
die, we should just be buried there.
Because Allah Almighty has already
destined that to be the place where
they would pass away. If it's just from
Jakarta to Bogor, that’s not much by
car. At most, it takes half an hour,
maybe 20 minutes, God willing. That's
why in certain regions, if someone dies
after Asr, they are usually buried
after Maghrib. Now, sometimes there is
this practice, excuse me, let me give
you an example. Suppose someone dies at
11:00 AM, before Dhuhr. The Prophet (
peace be upon him) told us to hasten
the burial of the deceased. Yet
sometimes they delay it until the next
day, waiting for person A or person B.
Subhanallah. Even if person A and
person B arrive, what can they actually
do? Only to see them for the last time.
Sometimes when person A arrives from
out of town—like a son, a relative,
or whoever—sometimes they just...
Their weeping is simply renewed, and
they cry all over again. Everyone
starts crying together again. So, the
mourning happens in cycles. Wherever
the body is buried, or whenever it is
buried, even if the person is at the
North Pole,
Hmm.
Even in the North Pole. They can pray
from there. It will reach the deceased.
God willing, it will be answered.
Very well, Ustaz. Next is a question
from Mr. Supri. Assalamu'alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh.
Ustaz, a neighbor has a son who is 36
years old with a good job and a
three-digit salary, but he is delaying
marriage because he hasn't found his
soulmate. He is currently taking care
of his widowed mother. Is this sinful,
Ustaz? Thank you.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Allahumma
sholli ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ala
ali sayyidina Muhammad. For a man,
Allah Almighty has never specified
exactly when you must marry, but we are
encouraged to get married, yes. Being
told to get married. Women are told to
speed up finding a partner, to make a
good effort. Now, if, for example,
their mother is sick, suppose their
mother is sick. They concentrate
themselves on taking care of their
mother. And they think it's better to
postpone marriage for now. That is
allowed. It is not forbidden. What is
forbidden is if they decide, "I will
not get married." Now, don't do that.
Because the Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, stated, "Marriage is my
Sunnah." Marriage is one of the
traditions of the Prophet, peace be
upon him. So, if you are only 33 and
have never been married, God willing,
it is not too late. I myself married at
32, I married at 32. If, for example,
for instance if Allah the Almighty, if,
say, this story is just, er, just a
story, I actually wanted to get married
at 25. But at the age of 25, I was
still in school and I kept thinking, "I
shouldn't marry yet because I still
have nothing, I am not yet capable." We
are allowed to think like that, it's
okay. But maintain the belief that if
we get married, our sustenance comes
from Allah the Almighty. It is not
impossible, for what one person eats
can suffice for two people to eat. So,
if you are only 33, it is not too late;
God willing, keep trying, and God
willing, it will be answered.
Alright, Ustadz, thank you very much
for the answer. Brothers and sisters,
thus concludes our meeting in the
afternoon sermon program, and now we
will listen to the conclusion that will
be delivered by him. Please, Ustadz.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. O Allah, send
prayers upon our master Muhammad and
upon the family of our master Muhammad.
That was what Allah the Almighty
reminded us about knowledge, so that we
know what is unseen and we must not
play around with the unseen. What I
mean by playing around with the unseen
is this: sometimes we like to go to
people we consider "smart people"—
that's our own term for calling them
smart, even though they are actually
fools, not smart; we are the foolish
ones, so we think they are smart—
wanting to ask about our future,
wanting to ask about our soulmates,
wanting to ask about our sustenance.
That is far off, because that is
included as a form of polytheism
against Allah, the Glorified and
Exalted. God willing, hopefully, Allah
will keep us away from such places.
Amen, amen.
Before I close,
Yes.
er, if I'm not mistaken, yesterday Dr.
Hudhaifah passed away.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall
return.
Perhaps, well, Dr. Hudhaifah passed
away. God willing, hopefully, Allah the
Glorified and Exalted will send him
mercy and forgiveness.
Amen.
May He widen his grave. I only found
out about it in the late afternoon.
Because they announced it, Dr.
Hudhaifah was quite well-known and
quite active in Islamic organizations
in the past. He was also active when
there was a dispute in the Al-Irsyad
organization. He was one of the members
of the team.
Yes.
One of those who joined the team to
reconcile. God willing, may Allah's
forgiveness and mercy be showered upon
us on our journey until the Day of
Judgment. Amen, God willing. Peace be
upon you, and Allah's mercy and
blessings.
And peace be upon you, and Allah's
mercy and blessings. Well, thank you to
Ustad M Bahmid, our teacher who has
given his sermon this afternoon. Uh,
there are two listeners I forgot to
greet, Mr. Sayyan Rohili in Pulau
Gebang and Mr. Rama Mitra in Tangerang.
There we go. Almost missed them, my
apologies. Alright brothers and sisters
, we are taking our leave from your
listening space. Until we meet again,
may Allah grant us success and guidance
. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy
and blessings.
Alright.
