Alhamdulillah, I have finished my decoding late last night. Although by the time I was done, I just want to NOT think about the next process - writing up. So I slept it off, sore shoulder and swollen fingers (*inda bah, not swollen, but very very tired fingers). I guess all those secretarial jobs and meeting minutes and letters typing I was exposed to back when I was the secretary for the Student Welfare Body in ITB for 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 sessions really paid off, eh? ;)
I could feel the sudden rush as I switched off my recorder after my last and final interview. Phew. Finally, I said.
So, today, I gathered all my notes, articles which were totally abandoned when I was in Brunei, and my notebook - flipping through the pages, trying to find my rhythm so that I know where to continue. Starting to write up is the hardest, innit? (I could hear in the background - ness' voice saying "MELAYU!")
I sighed a lot lately, and I noticed that.
So, I gave myself a break and went online to read articles - particularly on Isra' Mikraj which falls on 27 Rejab, (and by the way, tomorrow, insya Allah there will be a function being held at the university's student union to celebrate one of the historic and miraculous events in Islam). And I found one that, as I was reading it, my heart just felt so heavy, then I realized how much I've gone astray (again!) and why all of a sudden I so really miss our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
"Maha Suci Allah yang telah memperjalankan hambanya pada suatu malam dari Masjidil Haram (Mekkah) ke Masjidil Aqsa (Palestin) yang kami berkahi sekelilingnya, untuk kami perlihatkan padanya tanda-tanda (kekuasaan) kami. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Melihat" (Surah: 17 Al-Isra', Ayat 1)
"Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing" (Surah: 17 Al-Isra', Ayat 1)
The article that I want to share is this one. Bits and pieces I take from the article;"Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing" (Surah: 17 Al-Isra', Ayat 1)
Langit Keenam:
Naik tangga langit keenam. Bertemu dengan nabi-nabi. Seterusnya dengan Nabi Musa a.s. Rasulullah mengangkat kepala (disuruh oleh Jibril) lalu dapat melihat umat baginda sendiri yang ramai, termasuk 70,000 orang yang masuk syurga tanpa hisab.
Langit Ketujuh:
Naik tangga langit ketujuh dan masuk langit ketujuh lalu bertemu dengan nabi Ibrahim Khlilullah yang sedang bersandar di Baitul- Ma'mur dihadapi oleh beberapa kaumnya. Kepada Rasulullah saw, nabi Ibrahim a.s. bersabda, "Engkau akan berjumpa dengan Allah pada malam ini. Umatmu adalah akhir umat dan terlalu dha'if, maka berdoalah untuk umatmu. Suruhlah umatmu menanam tanaman syurga yaitu LA HAULA WALA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH". Mengikut riwayat lain, nabi Irahim a.s bersabda, "Sampaikan salamku kepada umahmu dan beritahu mereka, syurga itu baik tanahnya, tawar airnya dan tanaman- ya ialah lima kalimah, yaitu: SUBHANALLAH, WAL-HAMDULILLAH, WA LA ILAHA ILLALLAH ALLAHU AKBAR dan WA LA HAULA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAHIL- 'ALIYYIL-'AZHIM. Bagi orang yang membaca setiap kalimah ini akan ditanamkan sepohon pokok dalam syurga".
Setelah melihat beberpa peristiwa lain yang ajaib. Rasulullah dan Jibril masuk ke dalam Baitul-Makmur dan sholat. (Baitul- Makmur ini betul-betul di atas Baitullah di Mekah).
Tangga Kedelapan:
Di sinilah disebut "al-Kursi" yang berbetulan dengan dahan pokok Sidratul-Muntaha. Rasulullah s.a.w menyaksikan pelbagai keajaiban pada pokok itu : Sungai air yang tak berubah, sungai susu, sungai arak dan sungai madu lebah. Buah, daun-daun, batang dan dahannya berubah-ubah warna dan bertukar menjadi permata- permata yang indah. Unggas-unggas emas berterbangan. Semua keindahan itu tak terperi oleh manusia. Baginda Rasulullah s.a.w dapat menyaksikan pula sungai al-Kautsar yang terus masuk ke syurga. Seterusnya baginda masuk ke syurga dan melihat neraka berserta dengan Malik penunggunya.
Tangga Kesembilan:
Di sini berbetulan dengan pucuk pokok Sidratul-Muntaha. Rasulullah s.a.w masuk di dalam nur dan naik ke Mustawa dan Sharirul-Aqlam. Lalu dapat melihat seorang lelaki yang ghaib di dalam nur 'Arasy, yaitu lelaki di dunia yang lidahnya sering basah berzikir, hatinya tertumpu penuh kepada masjid dan tidak memaki ibu bapanya.
Tangga Kesepuluh:
Baginda Rasulullah sampai di Hadhratul-Qudus dan Hadhrat Rabbul- Arbab lalu dapat menyaksikan Allah Subhanahu wa Taala dengan mata kepalanya, lantas sujud.
Begitu besar kecintaan Nabi kita kepada Allah s.w.t.
(and I dare tell and let myself to fall in love with another and give my love to another when i know the deserving of my love first and foremost is Allah? sigh. My iman is so so so weak!! I need to fight back, I need to re-gain what is missing - I admit that sometimes I am terlalu leka dan alpa with this dunya, mengejar something that is only temporary, astaghafirullah - sigh - need slapping on the face this!)
"Ya Allah, berikanlah cintaMu kepadaku. Jadikanlah orang yang mencintaiMu mencintai aku dan jadikanlah aku mencintai segala sesuatu yang membawa kepada kecintaanMu"
Pray for me. May Allah have mercy on me, and bless me with His taufiq and hidayah. Ameen.
Isn't Islam a beautiful religion WHEN and IF you really understand and believe and practice what it teaches? Masha-Allah.
[Such believers are] the repentant, the worshippers, the praisers [of Allah], the travelers [for His cause], those who bow and prostrate [in prayer], those who enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and those who observe the limits [set by] Allah. And give good tidings to the believers.
