So i am having my university holidays now so I have not been doing anything except for chilling, eating and stuffs. I have yet to start on my planning for what to design for POST 65 committee and to elicit for sponsors for maulid rasulullah s.a.w (:
Anyway just to share some quick updates about what had happened in my life
1) Due to my overwhelming desire of wanting to eat some murtabak, post exams saw myself and a group of friends chilling and eating at zam zam and stuffing ourselves with Tutti Frutti
The event was alhamdulillah beneficial although the place was a bit secluded as it was held in Masjid Petempatan Melayu Sembawang...it was situated somewhere in a place densed with trees and plantations and there were monkeys all around. Surprisingly, it was located near Sembawang beach so it was a little difficult for us to travel there as no buses actually pass through that area except cars.
So, let me share with you what I have learned from yesterday's maulid (:
- Habib Idrus Alattas: Rasulullah s.a.w is the only person who can give syafaat/intercede for us during hari qiyamah
- Rasulullah s.a.w was sent as a mercy(Rahmatan lil 'alamin)
- He is an intercessor for the whole of mankind and not only for a specific group unlike the other anbiya' (Eg: Nabi Musa A.S for kaum Bani Israel)
- Rasulullah s.a.w's jasad may be absent in this world but his light and nur still exists..when we participate in maulid, rasulullah s.a.w is with us, he witness what we have done to remember and send blessings/selwat to him
- When someone adopts rasulullah s.a.w's sunnah, place and fill his heart with rasulullah s.a.w and put Allah infront of him, he will be able to see rasulullah s.a.w real life and not in dreams (Eg: Habib's grandfather (alim, ulama'))
- Those who made an effort to find the pearls of rasulullah s.a.w by going for majlis that remeber rasulullah s.a.w, inculcate love for him and Allah, all their sins will be forgiven by Allah SWT
- Maulid rasulullah s.a.w is one way in which we strive to improve our iman and hope for Allah's mercy to forgive our sins
- Rasulullah s.a.w always weep, dua for the ummah and is concern for us...
Sahih International: There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful. (Surah At Tawbah)
- He always wake up to pray for tahjjud just to pray for us and when he prays, he prays until his feet were swollen and when he prays, it is as if he could khatam the whole quran in one prayer ;'(
- When 'Aisyah R.A was worried that Rasulullah s.a.w kept praying until his feet became swollen and claimed that his sins were already being forgiven by Allah as he is a rasul of Allah, rasulullah s.a.w humbly replied, “Shouldn’t I be a grateful servant [then]?”.
- We must always make selawat for rasulullah s.a.w, try to be close with the pious and righteous people
- Ustaz Sofyan Yadi: Youths nowadays are preoccupied and obsessed with materialistic objects
- We should fill our hearts with Allah and Rasulullah s.a.w, if we doo that, our hearts would not be anxious and worried when we don't receive such worldly items
- Compare with the children in Palestine, they have nothing but they place their hearts witth Allah hence they can still smile and feel sufficient
- Ustaz Feisal Hassan: As youths, we must continue to conduct majlis rasulullah s.a.w
- Such majlis rasulullah s.a.w had been created since generations ago..even during rasulullah s.a.w's time by Zaid ibn Thabit
- Hence we must continue to ensure that Muslims gather together to keep form the ukhuwwah and bonds
- So that Allah can forgive our sins and to remember Rasulullah s.a.w
- Because things change but the only thing that won't change is the love for Allah and his Rasullah s.a.w and such majlis
That is all that I can offer, the ending was brilliant as Syamil concluded the maulid with a beautiful qasidah (:
I just wanna say that for those who have not been to a mulid and would want to do so or they have this urge to go but feel afraid to try somehting new, I really suggest you should give it a try and immerse yoursleves with the love of rasulullah s.a.w, it will be a sweet experience
I used to not go for such events but when I started going, I felt in love with it over and over again, alhamdulillah
3) I just cut my freakin long butt-length Rapunzel hair just now..woohooo..My head is lighter and I feel liberated baybehh!! :P
