on tahajjud

[  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzEUCzeJijU   ]

...a long discourse on the fiqhi of tahajjud. 
interestingly, some  modern day 'wahabis' has been less than honest when they discuss the 'branch'  and 'ranting' issues of tahajjud...esp on solat 'tahajjud berjemaah'.

from wang kelian , to kota bahru and right on to makkatul mukharamah these people churn the thousand or two hadith that they commit to memory, and rubbish others to oblivion, in their attempt to 'straight jacket' the rest to their narrow blinkered perspective of the 'ugama'.

in the process rubbishing thousands of transformed and commited souls and scholars that peppered  and gave colour to islamic history through the sand of time.

Before We Move On to Surah al Mulk, 67..........A Case For Global Redha......TJ Winter




friends, dato and tanseri,

a good friend of mine, a dato, a malay and muslim by name and heritage; a 9 out of 10 true and true secular humanist;... always asks me this elemental but nonetheless puerile question,

" doc, if allah is there and so merciful why does HE gave cerebral palsy to small kids!; why does HE give rigours to most of the people , especially muslims in the present and past world? why is syria, syria? ".

i wish he is here to ponder on this most profound  scholarly discourse on redza by tj winter.
allah is after all a god of mercy as well as rigueur.
HE is ar rahman, ar rahim, ya ghaniy and ya mughni.
but HE is also ya mutakabbir, ya jabbar, ya zal jala liwalikram

despite the above questions which i cannot answer fully to his absurd requirements , i somehow find great solace in this profound discourse by tj winter.

Surah at Tahrim,66...............Epilogue





Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter. (10) And Allah citeth an example for those who believe: the wife of Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a home with thee in the Garden, and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work, and deliver me from evil-doing folk; (11) And Mary, daughter of 'Imran, whose body was chaste, therefor We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient. (12)

shaykh dr haitham al haddad, on last ayat and epilogue..

[  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqFK8CahoFE   ]


34:00      disbeliever's principal problem with islam is not 'intellectual' as they make it out.
               it is just because of their desires and inflated ego. intellectual discourse with them is a
               waste of precious time.

37:00      believing women do not betray their husbands even if their husband is of the worst 
               kind.

40:20      on single women. 
               the high status of single women.

Surah at Tahrim, 66...........6th Discourse, Still on Ayat 7

your excellency,

when you, me or the rest of  'mortals'  like us do 'taubah', , even on a daily basis, it is for our grievous missdeeds, and in our youth most likely arising from our utter forgetfulness [ ghaflah ], plain laziness, and gross lack of ilm and wisdom. in old age , it most likely arising from all the three still.

the spirit is willing but the body is very much lacking and stuck to this duniya.

when muqarrabin or awliya do their daily 'taubah', it is usually arising from utter embarassment  with allah for some mis thoughts or minor misdeeds or miscalculation.

when para ambiya does taubah it is out of longing, love and shukr.

taubah is such an important aspect of our ugama, shaykh dr haitham al haddad need not apologise
for being stuck at it still for the last three discourses!

nik howk





(Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses for yourselves this Day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do. (7) O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things. (8) O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end. (9) Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter.

Surah at Tahrim, 66...........5th Discourse & Repentance



O ye who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones, over which are set angels strong, severe, who resist not Allah in that which He commandeth them, but do that which they are commanded. (6) (Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses for yourselves this Day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do. (7) O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things. (8)

16:22           dato sri, just imagine a permanent 'toothache'..
                    you have the iq and eq, you know allah; but you rejected him...you deserved to
                    be punished!


22:30          this is the stuff that keep me awake at night: ' am i doing enough for my children,
                   mr lim , my neighbour, karupaya the newspaper man , dr albert my colleague
                   etc etc and etc?

31:00          taubatan nasuha.
                   the more closer to allah you get , the more you need to repent bru!


37:00         the most effective taubah...when you feel embarassed to allah for the shortcoming!


41:30        if you are pm and you have stolen billions of rm from your people, make sure
                 you return back the money to them...then go to your bamboo river resort or 
                 whatever.....return back the money to the raayat you must, please!

the 'heart surgeon' : repentance
tj winter on imam ghazali's 'book of at taubah'

[  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlUYzGarFac   ]


5:00     'we are travelling from what we barely remember, thru a world we barely understand; to a future which has been outlined through revelation but which in our hearts we know we cannot even begin to comprehend.....we are weak, full of hope but full of forgetfulness.....'

13:00    the fall of iblis

15:10    the fall of adam

18:20    the dual polarity in man

20:20    taubah requires specificity: knowledge, state, action

27:25    allah loves the penitent

30:12    taubah, with a proviso that all its preconditions are  fulfilled, is always accepted

32:20    we are all between two gardens! in between these two gardens, we can create a garden
for ourselves in this finite, transient world........before we go to the ultimate final garden.

40:00    in zikrillah, hearts are made calm. in difficult time we have sabr which produce redza.
in good times we have shukr. that is what a life of contiunos zikr results in.
a heart calm at tumultous difficult times and humbled in good times.


" we were the companions of the sphere
   we were friends of the angels
   let us go  back there again friends
   let us get back to that country
   that is our city
   that is where we belong
   our abode is the divine glory....."

15:02         a 'near mutiny' in nabi's household reprimanded by allah.
                  " you all are replaceable! "

19:20         qualities of righteous women.....obedience; qiam, repentance; 'migrating to allah'


23:20          women!, even if your husbands are the best of people, you can still be the worst
                    of people.


27:00           focus for women: your ibadah and your husband and family.

36:10           husnul khatimah or suul khatimah


39:30           'fear of fire of hell'......unfair criticism on most daie by lay people.


43:30           remembrance of jannah, an nar, death...try to spend some time thinking of these
                    on a daily basis.


46:20           the more you worry of the duniya the more you will be worried...
                    the more you think of akhirah, the duniya will be easy for you


50:10          'circle of concern'.....worry about yourselves first. then your wives. then your 
                    children.


56:20          hell scenario.....the guards!
                   ' you can an emperor, a king or an agong , or even a pm....it is worthless if you are
                    going to the fire of hell! '

1:01:10      "ya allah, rabbir firli waliwa lidayya wal mukmini wal mukminat"......


1:06:00      striking a correct balance.


1:09:00      'why are you doing whatever you are doing?'....ibadah takes different forms
                   according to different need at different time in one's life.

Surah at Tahrim, 66...........Discourse, Part 3




3rd discourse, from ayat 3 onwards, shaykh dr haitham al haddad

[  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9UDGWYNX0  ]


18:20         an interesting seldom heard hadith from umar al khattab about nabi's personal 
                  life.....' ya umar, don't you want that the duniya is for them and the akhirat is for                          us? '.

25:15        another interesting story from umar al khattab, a profound insight into nabi's
                 personal life.


33:00       repentance..

48:20       the worst sin a muslim can do.

52:10       people who claim they are muslims  but insults nabi's are less likely to be guided to
                 taubah........some scholars viewpoint.


1:0002    on taubah....

1:05:00   sunnat prayer better at home than in masjid.









maulid is just around the corner, let us  take a short rest from 'the heart surgeon' for a while....let us go across the globe and listen to some dissenting current views, short snippets at least, from those outside the nejd desert, regarding maulid and issues on bidaah.

the nejd desert is famous for emanating 'fundamental views and cutting  and pruning the 1450 years old islamic tree to just a branch of their choice', as if that can be done easily by saying this and that hadith is not acceptable.... at some 400  to 500 years after nabi , their choice of hadith experts can still tell with a high degree of certainty that this hadith is gharib, that is hasan and  'only the 4,000 that my tok guru's tok guru's tok guru knew by heart are   soheeh'. 

they feel their limited tok guru's tok guru have a monopoly of knowledge and sanad.
that to me is the essence of the malaise and 'illness' affecting this group of people, and they are increasing in number daily......the younger generation, devoid of enough knowledge and wisdom take to this school like ducks to water!

to top this up, ijtihad and thinking have all been done by the 12th century.
no more thinking is required

this  is what tj winter brands as the 'fallacy of the salafis'

their choice of scholars at best is myopic,  limited to 3 only, abdul wahab, ibnu qayyim and ibnu taymiah, and the rest can go and fly kites!...rubbishing hundreds if not thousands of scholarly discourse zuhudness and hundreds or thousands of 'purified and transformed souls.'..............

personally i used to belong to this 'nejd' school in my early years of visiting the two holy mosque almost on an annual basis. 
i have been 'there'.

i envy their fundamentalist and rather simplistic approach to the 'ugama'. 
i can understand their very morbid fear.

as the years passed i realize there are many ways to 'skin a cat' and 'taste the honey' and come to appreciate differences and the nuance for such differences.

as in everything else in life , in ugama also there are levels and levels!

just move away from maulid for while and just take a non critical look at our post congrega tional prayer wirid :

the nejd crowd would lament the group wird post prayer in all our local masjid as ' bida'ah! bida'ah! bida'ah!'...fullstop.

they forgot the element of caramaderie amongst neighbours and friends; the shaking hands after prayer and the small friendly chatter amongst friends.

they forgot that post prayer wirid is akin to a group zikr, 5 times a day! only happening here in malaysia and indonesia and to some extent turkey [ the old ottomans are not stupid! ].

all these young upstarts from nejd to wang kelian forgot that if within the hundred or so congregation there is a 'wali', his 'amin' of the collective post prayer do'a could well be acceptable to allah, and that weightage alone could carry the whole congregation!

instead, they go on with their , 'bida'ah! bida'ah! bida'ah!'......to the exclusion of everything else, ad nauseum.

[  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_332N_wqBw&t=15s  ]


this discourse, by prof t.j. winter to a group of young muslims in andalucia, spain, at the midpoint, reminded me of a magrib prayer  i did some 2 years ago, on a desolate beach in teganu . 

just to relive back a prophetic tradition in trying to drive back the 'pharoanic ego' i prayed on the sand without a sajadah.

midway through the opening gambit of the prayer, a slowly creeping grey mass emerged from the water's edge........'omg! is this the legendary hantu laut?!'

my curiosity overcame me. my concentration  and focus broken , i  moved forward towards the black mass.

lo and behold! it was a large turtle!
a sublime poem from the sea bed......a beautiful sign that all is not yet lost with the east coast beaches....

i re-continued my solat and zikr and the turtle laid it's eggs just nearby...
a reconnection of nature and remembrance of some sort.
a sublime moment in my life.

i felt  a sudden surge of taqwa transiently overpowering me.


do enjoy tj winter as i enjoy him!

Al-Hikam 13

“Bagaimana mungkin qalbu akan bersinar, sedangkan bayang-bayang dunia masih terpampang di cerminnya? Bagaimana mungkin akan pergi menyongsong Ilahi, sedangkan ia masih terbelenggu nafsunya? Bagaimana mungkin akan bertamu ke hadirat-Nya, sedangkan ia belum bersuci dari kotoran kelalaiannya? Bagaimana mungkin diharapkan dapat menyingkap berbagai rahasia, sedangkan ia belum bertobat dari kekeliruannnya?”
--Ibnu Atha’illah al-Iskandari--

            Bagaimana mungkin qalbu akan bersinar terang, sedangkan anasir keduniaan masih menyelimutinya dan dianggap bisa mendatangkan manfaat serta bahaya? Bahkan, anasir keduniaan itu begitu diandalkannya.
            Jika hati masih terbelenggu nafsu, bagaimana mungkin bisa berjalan menuju Allah? Orang yang terbelenggu tentu tidak akan mampu berjalan. Bagaimana pula hati bisa melihat Allah, sedangkan ia masih belum suci dari junub kelalaiannya?
            Disini Ibnu Atha’illah mengumpamakan kelalaian dengan junub. Dan seseorang junub tidak diperbolehkan memasuki masjid. Seperti itu pula orang yang dikuasai kelalaian, ia tidak akan diizinkan menemui Allah swt.
            Bagaimana mungkin hati akan mewarisi ilmu kaum ’arif, sedangkan ia belum bertobat dari kesalahan atau maksiat yang tidak sengaja dilakukannya?
            Dalam hikmah diatas, Ibnu Atha’illah mengungkapkan kejanggalan yang dilihatnya. Menurutnya, bagaimana mungkin seseorang bisa meraih sesuatu yang diinginkannya, sedangkan ia masih melakukan hal-hal yang justru merintangi pencapaiannya. Hati yang bercahaya hanya dapat diraih dengan cahaya iman dan keyakinan, bukan dengan harta dan hal-hal lain yang bersifat duniawi. Keduniaan justru akan membuat hati menjadi gelap.
            Perjalanan menuju Allah hanya bisa dilakukan degan memutus belenggu nafsu dan syahwat, bukan dengan menuruti nafsu dan syahwat. Pertemuan dengan Allah hanya bisa terjadi bila hati telah suci. Hati yang masih belum suci atau masih dikotori oleh kelalaian akan menghalangi pertemuan dengan Allah. Kemampuan menguasai ilmu dan mengetahui detail-detail rahasia hanya bisa didapat melalui ketakwaaan, bukan dengan keinginan yang besar untuk selalu melakukan maksiat.
            Allah swt. Berfirman, “Dan bertakwalah kepada Allah, niscaya Allah akan mengajarmu; dan Allah Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu.”(QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 282)
            Dalam sebuah khabar disebutkan, ”Siapa yang beramal dengan ilmunya, maka Allah akan mewarisinya ilmu yang tidak diketahuinya.”
            Keempat hal di atas sebenarnya saling mempengaruhi satu sama lain. Tampilanya gambaran keduniaan di dalam cermin hati menjadi sebab terbelenggunya hati oleh syahwat. Keterbelengguan hati dapat menyebabkan kelalaian. Kelalaian menjadi sebab segala kekeliruan, dan kekeliruan menjadi sebab butanya hati.        

(Ulasan oleh Syekh Abdullah asy-Syarqawi al-Khalwati)



intisari nya:
ilm, ilm ilm and ilm...... followed by solat , tadabbur al qur'an, taubat and remembrance of death........
for ilm, in our setting at least, don't  'querrel' with your local mosque where ilm is 'dispensed'
almost on a daily basis. not all ustaz are good but on the average the 'traveller' will pick some useful ilm and wisdom.

even from the local masjid.......
dato,  leave your 'ego' at home.

Surah at Talaq, 65........11th discourse and epilogue








your excellency,

years back patik and many amongst patik's friend don't like tdm to the point some of us 'figuratively'  harboured the intention  to 'pee'  on his grave .
such was our dismay and anger.

definitely not because what he did to the monarchy then. 
the general consensus amongst thinking raayat then was that, what he did to the monarchy, was a necessary evil.
while most of the raayat were 'on all fours just to survive' from day to day , some  monarchies lived a life of vulgar opulence. 

but that is not our querrel.
if allah give opulence and life a plenty to some of HIS creatures, that constitute  a test for them.

in this 21st century though,monarchies, from timbuktu right through the nejd desert  to brunei, do not have  free  blank cheques  to write on whatever they wished..... this is a century of openness and without border.
if they want a billion rm istana and they deserve it ok.
but if it is going to curtail the spending on the necessities of the raayat, they better think 10 time.

in the local context, if they were to survive in this current milliue of malaysian politics  and social changes they have to behave.
the raayat share that sentiment with tdm then.... and more so now.

the system of monarchy here and everywhere exist even in this 21st century because of the constitution.
if they do not follow the constitution, the present constitution could be changed.

no! the monarchies and their excesses in 2005  were very far from our concern.
we were angry with tdm because of his encroachment on the judiciary.
but al hamdullillah the world has come one whole circle since the early days of 2005 , the day of may day to justice.
the day when tun salleh abbas was sacked summarily along with 10 other senior judges.

now this 93 year old is our saviour full stop.

if not for this 93 year old man's tenacity of purpose we malaysians would be a bankrupt nation by now.
too many iblis and pelesit in the political and administrative arena.
the very top people who could have done better just warming their seats and enjoying the scenery...feeding and drinking from the same trough as the crooks..

when an iblis marries a pelesit, nothing can get worse than that!
now we have a 200 billion yen samurai bond at  lowly 0.65 % to bridge the gap between total bankruptcy and survival....alhamdullillah!

and that is a just a small fraction of the extent of  damage we sustained to this date.
it take kj, a bright oxford graduate some ten years to realise that that he is amongst the wolves!
tok pha , kj and the lot want to join the government now, after sitting and doing nothing about the massive national musibah.
omg!!

shaykh dr haitham al haddad, 11th  and final discourse

[   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS51xRJ94k8   ]



2:10           nafkah and taqwa in the same breath...5 consequences of taqwa.
                  the end of any marriage is a huge musibah for any couple


30:10        if you have akal and you use your akal properly, you will appreciate taqwa.

38:10        the main purpose of qur'an is to take people from darkness to light.

41:20        'veiled' hearts.

42:50        the last ayat not well discussed......

49:20        7 layers of 'earth'.....whatever it means, this is beyond our perception.

53:00         knowing the NAMES of allah , HIS attributes, and worshiping HIM..
                  to establish HIS magnificence and majesty....the whole purpose of this existence.

56:10         to establish justice on this earth is just one of the purpose, not the prime
                   purpose of existence.
