Brail TV All praise to Allah, peace be
upon the Messenger of Allah. May the
peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be
upon you. Good morning, brothers and
sisters, welcome to "Reflections under
the Shade of the Quran" with me, Isa
Alkaf, along with Ondi and Mas Algi at
the operator desk. Alhamdulillah, I am
very happy that this morning, live on
air, I can accompany you all, feeling
very refreshed as I have been up since
4:00 AM watching the World Cup.
Alhamdulillah, I hope all you brothers
and sisters are also in good health and
ready for your activities. However,
before starting our day, let us
together, God willing, delve deeper
into the Holy Quran with our teacher
who, thank God, is here with us in the
studio, Ustaz Husein bin Hamid Alatas.
Peace be upon you, Ustaz.
And unto you be peace and the mercy of
Allah.
I hope you are in good health, Ustaz.
God willing, through the grace of Allah
.
All praise and thanks to Allah, Ustaz.
Today, we will be live answering
questions from all of you. However, it
would be best if we open with the
Mother of the Quran, Surah Al-Fatihah.
Please, Ustaz. I seek refuge in Allah
from the accursed Satan. In the name of
Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful. All praise is due to Allah,
Lord of all 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. Amen. Amen. Oh
Lord of the worlds. Oh Allah, have
mercy on us through the Quran. May the
recitation of the Quran open the gates
of mercy and guidance for us all, and
may our piety and faith be protected by
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Amen. Amen,
oh Lord of the worlds.
Thank you to Ibu Alvida Ahda,
masyaallah, for your contribution to
the operational costs of the
Silaturahim Radio da'wah. For brothers
and sisters who wish to donate part of
their sustenance for our da'wah
operations, please contribute to Bank

Or 72 followed by four 3s, in the name
of Yayasan Wakaf Rumah Quran
Silaturahim. And for those who wish to
ask questions, please send your
inquiries via WhatsApp message to
0811999720. Once again, the WhatsApp
number is 0811999720. Ustaz, there is a
first question from Ibu Fani. Ustaz,
peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be
upon you. Ustaz, may I ask a question?
Is it permissible for a woman to travel
(safar) without a mahram? What are the
rules regarding this? Thank you, may
Allah reward you with goodness.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. All praise is due
to Allah, Lord of all worlds. Abundant,
pure, and blessed praise as our Lord
loves and is pleased with. O Allah,
send prayers, peace, and blessings upon
Your servant and Messenger, our leader
and prophet Muhammad, and upon his
family. And his companions; bless and
grant them peace. O Allah, grant us
mercy from You and teach us beneficial
knowledge from You, and benefit us with
what You have taught us. Our Lord,
increase us in knowledge and join us
with the righteous. To proceed.
Brothers, sisters, listeners, and
viewers of Radio TV Silaturahmi who are
blessed by Allah. Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala in the Quran. Likewise, our
Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings
be upon him and his family. Always.
Remind us all to truly guard our honor.
Likewise, the honor of our women, be it
our wives, our children, or our sisters
. In fact, this is not just a family
responsibility, but a collective
responsibility of the ummah to truly
safeguard the purity and honor of
society so that the community can live
in a healthy environment. Therefore,
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala reminds us to
cover our bodies 'modesty and not to
display. Our bodily adornments. God
also commands us not to look wildly,
but to restrain our gaze. Because once
we let our eyes wander, it becomes
input that truly disturbs our souls. As
the saying goes, a great fire comes
from a tiny spark. A massive fire
initially starts from a small spark.
Likewise, our gaze leads us to
fantasize. Eventually, it allows
demonic whispers to enter our souls,
directing us toward things forbidden by
God. As it is narrated in a tradition
from our Prophet Muhammad, may peace
and blessings be upon him and his
family. "Annadratu sahmun masmumun min
sihami iblis.""This gaze is a poisoned
arrow from the arrows of Iblis (Satan).
""Faman tarakaha mim makofati.""Whoever
leaves it..." Meaning, that wild gaze.
Yes, if it's a normal, casual gaze,
it's not forbidden. "Whoever avoids
such wild sights out of fear of Me.""
Abdaltuhu imanan yajidu halawatahu
fiqbih.""I will replace it with faith,
the sweetness of which he will feel in
his heart." Now, the trials are so
great through social media nowadays.
May God protect us. It is not just that
people see it easily; it is even
offered and presented cheaply,
especially in our country right now.
Therefore, God Almighty reminds us in
Surah An-Nur and Surah Al-Ahzab that
our women should guard their modesty.
In fact, the Messenger was ordered
first to instruct his wives and his
daughters. After that, the believers,
the believing women, are to cover their
bodies with their jilbabs, which are
outer garments. The head covering is
called a khimar, the plural is khumur.
But the outer garment we wear, in
addition to the clothes women usually
wear, is called a jilbab, abaya, or
jalabib, so that a woman's body is not
transparent, does not accentuate her
figure, and women are ordered to wear
loose-fitting clothing. Even if it's
not transparent, if it's tight, the
curves of the body are visible. Now, a
woman when traveling without being
accompanied by a mahram—let's say she
goes with a group. It is very easy for
Satan to enter their hearts. When she
is far from her mahram, from her
husband, at that moment a woman is in a
fragile and weak state. Easily
influenced by the surrounding
environment. If the environment is not
healthy or good. If the conversation
among the women is also vulgar, a woman
who was previously good can be carried
away by that atmosphere and environment
. Therefore, a woman, especially a
young one, is not permitted or allowed
to travel without a mahram who acts as
a guardian and protector of her honor.
It is different for older women, the "
qawaid minanisa." Elderly women who no
longer have the desire for marriage. If
they, for example, perform the Umrah
pilgrimage accompanied by their friends
, this does not cause the same
temptation as young women traveling
without a mahram. I have repeatedly
performed the Hajj pilgrimage to the
holy land and led groups. In the
atmosphere of worship in the holy land,
we encounter women who are married at
that time. Her behavior is as if she
has no husband.
H
Getting cozy with, what do you call it,
her tour leader
and sometimes also with religious
teachers who don't guard themselves.
This is truly an unhealthy thing.
Eventually, the woman compares men
outside with her husband at home. In
the end, acts forbidden by Allah occur,
which can destroy a household. So,
young women should, when they depart to
perform Umrah or Hajj, be accompanied
by their mahram, whether it be their
husband or a male relative who truly
protects their honor. Therefore, Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Qur'an,
"O you who have believed, protect
yourselves
and your families from a Fire." O you
who believe, protect yourselves. As
well as your families, from the
hellfire. So men are obligated to
protect their partners, daughters, and
sisters. If a man lacks a sense of
jealousy, then sooner or later, he will
lead his family into improper conduct.
There is a case of Aisyah in Egypt.
Uh-huh.
A woman was brought to court for having
an affair. This woman was a good woman.
Raised by her parents to be good and
grew up as a decent woman. When asked
in front of the court, "Why did you
commit such a vile act?" The woman said
, "Zauji or zaugi mushragil," using the
Egyptian dialect. "My husband is not a
responsible man.""Khala gharib fi bait
ma zawjati." He let a strange man be
alone with his wife in their house.
Hm.
So the man's friend came to the house.
The husband was working outside. He let
his wife be with a strange man. Even if
the man wasn't handsome, the devil
beautified him in the woman's heart,
and likewise for the woman in the man's
heart. Thus, the Prophet said, "Do not
be alone with a foreign woman." Do not
be alone with a woman who is not your
mahram, and I will hold him accountable
in the hereafter. "My family raised me
in goodness.""In purity.""Yes, I was
also in a good marriage, but he ruined
my honor because he had no sense of
jealousy and was irresponsible." In
court, everyone was silent; whose fault
was it? The husband's. Therefore, when
a man protects his wife, it is not
because he doesn't trust her, but to
guard things before they go too far. So
, young women, who still have, let's
say, personal appeal—not elderly
women—if they travel for worship or
otherwise, they should be with their
mahram to protect their purity. And men
must try, if they cannot accompany
their wives, to have a brother or a
mahram do so. And this must truly be
instilled in all our hearts. Don't be
like many families today; society
outside appears good and clean, but
inside, it is full of various kinds of
completely unhealthy behavior. Now,
this is what we must avoid. So let us,
the Islamic community, work together to
maintain the purity of our society.
Maintaining the purity of our sisters
out there as well. Just as we protect
our sisters, our daughters, and our
children. Do not do to others what you
would not want done to yourself. God
knows best.
Masha'Allah, Ustaz. Uh, Ustaz, you
mentioned earlier about "walqawaid,"
women who have reached an advanced age.
Yes, Ustaz. There is a question from,
uh, excuse me, from Rahmawati. Peace be
upon you, and God's mercy and blessings
, Ustaz. An elderly person whose
condition is bedridden and who, pardon
me, must use a pad. How is the purity
for wudu when she has to pray, Ustaz?
For a woman who is used to her urine
leaking uncontrollably, when she is
about to pray, she cleans the area. She
replaces it with a new pad. Yes, she
performs wudu and uses a new pad. Then
she performs the prayer. If her urine
drips beyond her control, that
condition is "ma'fu," excused, because
it is not within her control. Like
someone who has incontinence, what the
Betawi people call those who leak urine
. Yes.
So, such a person is excused. Now, for
a woman in this state, she should
combine her prayers—Dhuhr with Asr,
and Maghrib with Isha—so she doesn't
have to repeatedly...change her pad. So
, let's say she prays Dhuhr and Asr
combined with one pad, then at Maghrib
and Isha she changes the pad again,
then she prays. This will not be a
burden for her.
Clearly, anything a human cannot avoid
is excused. An example, Akhsan.
Yes, Ustaz. If someone cannot perform
wudu, and also cannot perform tayammum,
being in a state where they cannot do
either. Then this person is "faqidut
thuhrain," someone unable to attain
purity with either water or dust. They
want to pray,
yes.
They can perform the prayer without
wudu and without tayammum. If that is
beyond what? Beyond their capability.
Okay.
Because it could be that they cannot
perform wudu because there is no water,
and cannot perform tayammum because
they are in a room where they cannot
leave due to fear, a war situation, or
conditions preventing them from
performing tayammum. So Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala asserts, "Fainna ma'al usri
yusra." This is...This is a primary
principle of Islam. The next one, Ustaz
, from Vivi Luthfiyah. Ustaz, peace be
upon you, and God's mercy and blessings
. Ustaz, what is the ruling on
buying and selling or trading
transactions inside a mosque? Please
also explain the etiquette for us
inside the mosque, Ustaz. and its
surroundings. With the note, Ustaz,
sorry, that we conduct these activities
without disturbing others' worship,
meaning not making noise, and so on.
Thank you, may God reward you.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious
, the Most Merciful. Our Lord, increase
us in knowledge and join us with the
righteous. People who come to the house
of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala naturally
conduct themselves with the manners
taught by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
That is also what was exemplified and
taught by our Prophet Muhammad, peace
and blessings be upon him and his
family. They come, let's say to the
mosque, or to a study circle. They
focus on listening to what is conveyed
from the verses of Allah and the sunnah
of His prophet. Their hearts are also
invited to engage in the remembrance of
Allah, the Glorified and Exalted.
Therefore, at a time like this,
discussions regarding trade and the
like are not appropriate at all. Now,
after the study, after the study, if
they want to trade or do business, as
in Hajj, Allah the Glorified and
Exalted says, "Laisa alaikum junahun an
tabtaghu fadlan min rabbikum." Which
means, when you are on Hajj, you are
not prohibited from seeking the bounty
of your Lord. Usually, women gather in
the women's area in the back to
exchange benefits without causing a
disturbance after performing their
worship and prayers. But if they were
to do such things while the speaker is
giving reminders, it is not permitted.
Especially while waiting for prayers,
as it disrupts our concentration. We
see in mosques like Sunda Kelapa or
back in Kuitang, they would trade
outside before the study began to seek
His bounty. They would trade for one
day to meet their needs for the whole
week.
Hmm.
However, what they do should not
prevent them from listening to the
warnings and guidance being delivered.
If they are busy trading while the
preacher is speaking in the mosque to
convey Allah's message, then they did
not come for the sake of Allah. They
came solely for the sake of the world.
But if they can do it outside the
mosque, meaning outside the times when
they are drawing closer to Allah and
listening to His verses, that would be
better. In the mosque, they listen
devoutly; outside, on the porch or the
street, they can conduct business to
seek the pleasure and mercy of Allah,
or they can prepare their goods before
the congregation arrives. Once the
assembly begins, they stop their
trading to listen to what is being said
, so that we truly attain the world and
also attain the
hereafter. Then, one more thing, I once
gave a sermon at a mosque, a fairly
large mosque with many congregants,
reminding us Muslims to truly take
control of the economy in our own
environment, where sellers, buyers, and
suppliers should ideally be Muslims, so
they can maintain a healthy and sound
economy. The point is to remind the
community to pay as much attention to
their economic life as they do to their
social life. Because if our economy is
in the hands of others, under their
control, it will inevitably become a
pressure and a threat to us. But if we
can manage our economy from upstream to
downstream—from the suppliers, the
farmers, let's say in agriculture, then
the distributors, and next the buyers
and the merchants—the money will
circulate in a healthy environment,
which will make their economy grow in a
healthy and good way. But it's a shame,
truly a shame, that we only become
consumers but do not control our
economy.
I
you. Some people say, "Ustadz, why does
the Ustadz talk about worldly matters
in the mosque?" Even though the Prophet
mobilized troops from the mosque.
From the mosque.
The Prophet provided guidance and
direction to the community and his
companions in trading and buying, also
through the house of Allah Ta'ala. Just
as he also received guests who came
from outside in the mosque, not in a
palace. The mosque became a central
place for various kinds of activities,
all of which led to
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Wallahu
a'lam.
So, but what if the transaction is not
allowed, Ustadz? Yes,
it means it would be better if the
mosque was 'wa al-masajida lillahi fala
tad'u
ma'allahi ahada'. So what we proclaim,
what we call out, what draws our
attention is all directed at Allah.
After finishing, we go out 'la'allakum
tuflihun'. We go out, spread out, then
we hope for Allah's grace and remember
Him. So trading is inseparable from
dhikr.
If someone says the transaction is
invalid and must be repeated, is that
true or not, Ustadz?
Actually, this is an excessive thing.
Excessive.
An excessive thing. It is not in
accordance with proper conduct, but
actually
yes, it means this really distracts him
, yes
from the purpose, but if the
transaction is done with an offer and
acceptance and is in accordance with
Islamic rules, then there is no problem
.
Actually, Ustadz, it's just lacking
manners, right, Ustadz?
Uh, from Iqbal in Bogor, Ustadz. Eh, by
the way, speaking of brothers and
sisters, I will read the number again.
In case brothers and sisters forgot, if
you want to ask, it's at 0811999720. I
also want to remind you of the account
number for the dakwah operations of
Radio Silaturahim at Bank Syariah
Indonesia with the number 7222 then 4
times 3003. Once again, Bank Syariah
Indonesia, 7 followed by 4 times 3,
then 3. Yes, Ustadz, there are so many
people asking, Ustadz. Ustadz, Iqbal
from Bogor first. How do we increase
faith amidst the busyness of the world
and various temptations of the era?
Syukran jazakallah khairan.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Among the
things that increase, that cultivate
our faith is increasing our knowledge
of Allah. And we realize, yes, that in
this life it is impossible for us to be
able to live alone without Allah's help
. No matter how great the efforts we
make, we will only reap feelings of
disappointment and loss. Allah says, "
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Wal 'asr.
Innal ins
innal insana lafi khusr. Allah swears
here. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. By time
. Time, which is our main capital that
we will be held accountable for later.
Do we fill it with righteous deeds in
faith to Allah? Do we fill our lives
with revelry and vanity without
remembering Allah? Truly, humans are
threatened with facing a great loss.
Who is safe? Illalladzina amanu wa'
amilush-shalihat. Except those who
believe. It means their lives are truly
illuminated, driven by faith in Allah,
faith in the Last Day, faith also in
His books, His messengers, and Allah's
angels who become His envoys. Faith
also includes belief in Allah's destiny
, which is full of justice. Hmm.
Except for those who believe and do
righteous deeds. Because faith and
these deeds cannot be separated. Watu
bilhaqqi wa tawasau bisabri. They also
live in an environment that reminds one
another to hold firmly to truth and
patience. This is important. This
environment is very important. Once
someone says they believe in Allah,
deeply absorbing and internalizing it,
believing in the Almighty, the Most
Merciful, the Most Compassionate, who
has the power to reach out, to help, to
protect from what is feared, to bless
their efforts, and also to protect the
sanctity of their household; everything
is in Allah's hands.
Hmm.
And determining their fate in the
hereafter. They follow the Qur'an,
which is a guide for life for believers
, and they also follow His Messenger.
As a role model, rather than the
lifestyle of those who do not believe.
Every time they practice what Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala has taught them,
their faith will grow. Because faith
will not grow without deeds. Once they
practice what they believe in,
Subhanallah, their faith will
immediately grow and flourish.
Distancing themselves from shirk. Yes,
distancing themselves from immoral acts
and major sins that would pollute our
souls. Until Allah says," Qod aflaha
man zakaha waq. "
Truly successful are those who purify
their souls through faith, righteous
deeds, and by being in an environment
that reminds them to distance
themselves, Allah forbid, from shirk
and from shameful and evil deeds. So,
the growth of faith and its decline
both depend on our actions. Now,
enhancing our knowledge (ma'rifah) of
Allah, absorbing the names of Allah
that are full of beauty, which connects
our hearts to Him. Likewise, guarding
our prayers as best as we can. Because
the true image of a believer, akhisa,
Yes.
Is found in prayer.
Starting from performing ablution and
then magnifying Allah. Likewise,
reciting the verses that Allah has
commanded us to read—Al-Fatihah, then
the surahs, the bowing, the prostration
, and all our recitations unite us,
starting from what? Our thoughts, yes,
our minds, our hearts, and also our
deeds. So, this prayer is actually a
practice that unifies our entire
existence. So it is not just the tongue
, not just the heart, not just the mind
, not just the body, but everything is
presented before Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. If a person internalizes their
prayer, God willing, their faith will
continue to develop and grow steadily.
Wallahu a'lam.
Very well, Ustaz. We have greetings
from Ibu Ani Khani Hudzaifah. For the
brothers and sisters who wish to ask
questions, please send your questions
to 0811999720. Or if you don't want to
send a question, sending a donation is
also welcome. At Bank Syariah Indonesia
722230033. Says Ibu Ani.
Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh, Ustaz. Alhamdulillah,
present and listening to the
reflections under the shade of the
Qur'an on Rasil 720 AM. God willing,
Ustaz Husein and the Rasil family are
healthy and well. Thank you for the
tausiyah, Ustaz. Thank you very much,
Ibu Ani. Next, we have a question from
Fakhrul in Jagakarsa. Ustaz, can we
know if our acts of worship are
accepted by Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
and how do we detect riya? And how to
keep the reward of worship? Syukran,
Ustaz.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Regarding
sincerity in worship, this is the very
first thing that must receive our
attention. Because Allah says," Wama
umiru illa liya'budullaha mukhlina
lahuddin. "" And worship Allah with
sincere devotion to Him, and be among
the grateful. "Likewise, the word of
Allah uh in Surah Az-Zumar." Verily,
the pure religion is for Allah alone. "
(The pure religion)" So worship Allah
with sincere devotion to Him. "A
command from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
that reminds us to truly purify our
devotion solely for Allah. Therefore,
the word 'ikhlas', '
akhla-yukhlishu-ikhlasan' in Arabic,
means 'tanqiyatu asyaii minasyawaib'.
Purifying something and clearing it
from impurities. Purifying something
from mixtures mixed within it.
Okay,
that is the linguistic meaning of '
akhla-yukhlishu'. Meanwhile, in Sharia
terminology, it means dedicating one's
intent solely to Allah in worship and
obedience. We truly purify our goal in
worship solely and only to Allah.
Likewise, in the righteous deeds and
obedience we perform, it is purely for
the sake of Allah. Whether in solitude
or in a crowd, whether receiving praise
or receiving mockery. What is done is
solely for Allah. Therefore, praise
will not make him get carried away.
Mockery will not make him lose heart.
He conveys the message of Allah as
stated by Allah," And the duty of the
Messenger is only clear notification. "
The Prophet's duty is to convey clearly
; whether it is accepted or not is each
individual's responsibility. And if we
look at the history of the Prophet,
starting from being mocked, insulted,
and reviled in Mecca, with few entering
Islam. Even in Medina, he faced the
Jews who plotted against him and the
hypocrites who collaborated. Then the
hypocrites joined with the Jews and the
polytheists to fight the Prophet in the
Battle of the Trench or the
Confederates. But all of that did not
shake our Prophet, did not shake his
companions, or his family, because they
were certain of the truth they were
fighting for. Now, most of us, when we
preach and receive a warm welcome or
rewards, we feel enthusiastic.
That's right, Ustaz.
But when facing mockery or lack of
appreciation, our enthusiasm
immediately wanes. This indicates the
presence of riya.
Oh.
Therefore, Al-Fudail ibn Iyad said,"
Leaving a deed for the sake of people
is riya, and doing a deed for the sake
of people is shirk. "If someone stops
doing a good deed because of people,
because they feel uncomfortable with
people, that is riya.
So, if we don't worship out of fear of
being riya, that is riya, Ustaz?
Yes, automatically, if we leave behind
righteous deeds that Allah has
commanded or encouraged,
with the excuse that we don't want to
be called riya, that is riya.
Like being afraid of being called"
holier-than-thou, "right, Ustaz? There
it is. That is also part of riya,
because if one performs deeds for Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala, one does not care
about what people say. Whether rewarded
or not. Likewise," and doing a deed for
the sake of people is shirk. "If one
performs a deed with a goal other than
Allah,
Allah says," Qul innama ana basyarun
ilahukum ilahun wahidun. "amalan
washalihatan ahada." Say, "I am just a
human like you, made of blood and flesh
, no different from you." Yuuha ilayya.
"I only receive revelation from Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala, and your God is
only one, the Almighty God. So whoever
wishes to meet Allah and be warmly
welcomed by Him, called" O tranquil
soul. "Then what should they do? They
must perform righteous deeds solely for
the sake of Allah, without associating
anything with Him. Therefore, for the
believers, being sincere becomes an
integral part of their character. It is
not just about outward appearance;
whether in public or in solitude, they
truly act solely to seek Allah's
pleasure. And to purify our deeds, my
brother, it takes practice and struggle
. If we realize we act for Allah, Allah
will love us, bless our deeds, honor us
, and we will know that human praise or
insults cannot harm us without Allah's
permission. Why must we act seeking the
pleasure of humans?
Indeed. Therefore, whoever acts for
Allah's pleasure even if it brings
human wrath, Allah will love them and
turn people's hatred into love for them
. But conversely, whoever seeks human
pleasure in Allah's wrath, Allah will
be displeased and turn people's love
into hatred for them.
Naudzubillah. So what is the point of
hoping for human praise, when the
pleasure of Allah is the most beautiful
." Wa ridwanun minallahi akbar. "
Exactly.
And praise now comes in many forms,
Ustadz. It can be from likes
or shares on posts, or comments on our
social media posts. Sometimes, wanting
many likes can actually be a form of
show-off, Ustadz. Yes.
If there are many likes and views, it
can even bring income, right?
There is pride when the viewers are
many.
Yes, Ustadz.
But one feels sad if their lecture
turns out to have few viewers.
Their duty is to deliver Allah's
message. Accepted or not, straighten
your intention.
But if one rejoices because many people
support the good being done and is
grateful to Allah, then what is
conveyed is accepted without arrogance.
Instead, give thanks to Allah.
That is unrelated, alhamdulillah, for
the benefit brought by what I conveyed.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from
associating anything with You, whether
I realize it or not.
Because if someone is happy with
Allah's help, with His grace, or say,
the Prophet was happy to see people
flocking to Islam, it is not because of
him
but for their own good, right? Yes.
Well, when we preach and the truth we
convey receives support, that is a gift
from Allah.
Provided that we are not seeking it,
but we are seeking the pleasure of
Allah. Allah just provides us with
encouragement
through the truth that we convey.
Alhamdulillah.
Now, Ustaz, as you mentioned earlier,
if a person wants to be saved from
showing off, they must do good deeds
without expecting anything from anyone
other than Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
However, Ustaz, when we do good and are
praised, sometimes that praise becomes
an addiction for us.
Why? Because sometimes there are other
good deeds we do that don't get praised
. It feels strange, Ustaz. How do we
avoid becoming addicted to praise,
Ustaz?
The culture in modern society is that
flattery and praising one another has
become a common thing.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Ultimately, because of praise and
flattery, we end up attending a
gathering not for the sake of Allah.
For example, there is someone who is a
skilled speaker, even if it is not in
accordance with the facts.
Yes.
The community is waiting for your
presence. All of them are people who
have become your listeners. In the end,
he goes. He goes not to convey Allah's
message. But because he meets the
people who?
Who like him.
Who support him, who are fond of him.
This is clearly not a good thing, right
?
Therefore,
this kind of habit in Islamic society
must be avoided. But if people invite
us, hoping the Ustaz can convey Allah's
message among us. The community must be
far from the Qur'an, far from Allah's
guidance. That's a good thing, right?
Yes, Ustaz.
Hopefully, the Ustaz can enlighten them
.
The Ustaz also, by hearing this,
feels called because before ordinary
people are questioned, the scholars who
haven't conveyed Allah's message will
be called first. And the scholar also
always seeks refuge in Allah so as not
to fall into the trap of showing off.
So, we also want the culture of
constantly praising and flattering each
other to be eliminated.
It must be eliminated.
Oh, I see, Ustaz. It must be eliminated
, Ustaz. It must be eliminated. Imam
Ali said if someone praises you,
take dust or sand and sprinkle it on
their face.
Because what is spoken is more
dangerous to us than what?
Insults.
Than mockery.
Oh. Therefore, if we hear something
good from someone, say" taqabbalallahu
minka, "may Allah accept what you have
done, and may your knowledge and piety
be increased; isn't that beautiful?
It is beautiful,
but if it's
the best
of the best
it's the case nowadays.
Yes, that's true. Especially if a woman
feels attracted to us and pays
extraordinary compliments.
I have been touched for as long as I
have listened to lectures, but I have
never felt like the way you speak. It
touches the heart and makes me really,
truly what? Remember Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala. If a man is like this,
especially if the woman is quite pretty
, are you tempted?
Oh yes.
Yes. Isn't it extraordinary?
Likewise, excessive compliments from
men to women, especially those they are
not married to,
can cause harm.
So, let us not be excessive in anything
. Look at how the Prophet, his family,
and his companions lived. Allah
reminded the wives of the Prophet and
his family:" O wives of the Prophet,
you are not like any other women. "" If
you are mindful of Allah, "O women of
the Prophet's family. Allah didn't just
say the wives, but the women of the
Prophet's family, including his
daughters and descendants. You are not
like other women. You are biologically
connected to whom? To the Messenger,
right?
Yes.
So, do not be insincere in your speech.
Yes.
Do not be flirtatious with words that
have a rhythm that gives off what? An
improper impression.
So, if you are pious, do not be
insincere in your speech." And speak in
a recognized manner. "
You should speak...speak in a
respectable way. Now, this is what
Allah taught the women of the Prophet's
family. Perhaps some ask," Why target
them first? "No. It starts with the
Prophet's family, then whom? To others.
Yes.
Just like" O Prophet, tell your wives
and your daughters... "and only after
that, the believing women. So if a
command is given but it isn't practiced
within the Prophet's family, the
command won't be respected. So, those
who preach or feel they have a
connection to the Messenger
must be examples within their own
circles so that their message is truly
meaningful and creates a positive
impression. This applies to men towards
women and women towards men. Do not use
affectionate terms with those who are
not your spouse. Using words of
flattery. There are men who often say
things like that. Engaging in" tahbib "
(seduction). That is a deed forbidden
by Allah. He says," If I were your
husband, I would cherish you so much. "
" Your husband doesn't appreciate you.
"When the woman is in what condition?
When she's upset.
When she says," If I were your husband,
I'd wash your feet, "imagine, this is
very dangerous, Ustaz.
That is clearly...
Those are sinful acts forbidden by
Allah. He should have reminded the
woman when she was feeling down,
reminded her to fear Allah and respect
her husband.
Furthermore, if there are shortcomings
in the husband, give good warnings, and
if you can't, ask someone else to
advise him.
For you, right now, there is no one
better for you than your own husband.
Yes.
For the husband, there is no one better
for him than his own wife. Because
other women are not lawful to him.
Yes.
Right? How we maintain the integrity of
our household, its purity and sanctity.
A wife shouldn't reveal her husband's
flaws, and the husband shouldn't reveal
his wife's flaws. Instead, handle
things well, or if there's a mistake,
both must be willing to listen to what
comes from Allah and His Messenger.
Allah knows best.
Masyaallah, Ustaz. How many questions
are left, Ustaz?
One more. One more.
One more, Ustaz. Yes, Ustaz, I’d like
to take this opportunity to ask a
personal question, Ustaz. Yes,
regarding the praise earlier, Ustaz. I
once spoke to an entrepreneur community
, young business people, Ustaz.
They asked," What is the ruling on '
olah-olah', Bib? "I asked," What is '
olah-olah'? "" Olah-olah is like
buttering up a potential client, but
it’s often manipulated, Ustaz. I mean
, wrapped in what, exactly? Excessive
respect, for what? To get the project
approved, to get work, or for many
other things. But in today’s slang,
it’s called 'olah-olah', Ustaz. What
is the verdict on 'olah-olah', Ustaz?
Maybe "being played," right?
Yes. Clearly, this behavior will make a
person lose their awareness,
and their wisdom in making choices.
I
So, by nature, all words and actions
that could make someone
Uh-huh.
let's say, get carried away,
Yes.
swept up in words and deeds until they
cannot think clearly,
nor make decisions correctly. This act
is actually part of the whispers of the
devil, just using humans.
Hm.
Using humans as whisperers, what does
it lead to? And we notice, Ustaz,
scholars, Kyai, Ustazah—
many are ruined because of what?
Complacency.
That 'olah-olah' earlier, Ustaz, right?
Yes. No need to go far. People ask, "
Ustaz, what about Ustaz So-and-so or
Habib So-and-so? Are they betraying the
faith?"
Yes.
I say, "I am certain that they are not
betraying it. But I feel they have
become complacent because they have
many listeners, many followers, and
many supporters. Hm.
Until finally, because no one reminds
them, they feel whatever they do is
right.
Right. Okay.
That is very dangerous, isn't it? Why
did Allah command us to uphold the
truth and patience?
To remind us," Never feel that you are
better or more perfect than anyone else
. "Humans are full of flaws and need to
remind one another. We are unable to
see ourselves correctly. Therefore, our
brothers and sisters serve as mirrors
for us. The believer is the mirror of
his brother. Now, the most dangerous
thing is if they mirror themselves with
corrupt people.
Okay.
So, mirror yourself with good people
who will remind you. Because the praise
we receive that soothes our hearts can
become poison that ruins our lives. So,
many Ustaz, Kyai, including Habib,
and Ustazah become complacent due to
what?
Praise.
Praise. Especially if their followers
grow in number; they feel they are a
saint of Allah.
They don't want to be blamed,
they don't want to be corrected. Now,
this is the most terrifying thing.
Therefore, we
must be in an environment that can
remind us when we forget, and remind us
in a way that is truly, what?
Uh-huh.
Pleasant, and does not encourage the
devil to pull us to his side. Not with
harsh language, but with kind words
that remind us back to Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
We seek refuge from all of this.
Amen.
We do not desire flattery, praise, or
even a large following at all. But what
we do want is to convey the truth
sincerely, hoping for Allah's pleasure
as our provision in the hereafter. On a
day when nothing will be of use except
the truth. Mashallah. May Allah reward
you, Ustaz, for the answers to these
questions. Hopefully, it is beneficial
for all the brothers and sisters.
Uh, peace be upon you, Ustaz, thank you
for the answer. Can I give charity, is
it allowed? It is very much allowed at

Foundation. God willing, what is given
will be beneficial and returned with
manifold provisions from Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Brothers and
sisters. Let us close together by
reciting the prayer for the expiation
of the gathering. Glory be to You, O
Allah, and with Your praise, I bear
witness that there is no god but You, I
seek Your forgiveness. Thank you once
again, Ustaz. May the peace, mercy, and
blessings of Allah be upon you.
