A Short Story About Ukhuwwah
Muharram 01, 1433 A.H, Sunday, November 27, 2011
May this benefit us all:
Quoting someone's comment on a Facebook
group about Sheikh Ash Shaheed (kama nahsabuh)
Usamah bin Ladin: “He was not pleased if there
were ikhwah in his majelis who talked bad about Islamic jama'ah, or insulted
them. He also did not allow in his majelis any discussion about disputes that
happened among the Islamic jama'ah or the spreading of issues.”
He always said:
“There are more important and bigger things
before us, and we are currently in a battle and war.”
If that happened and then there was an injustice, or things that need to be
reminded to a particular jama'ah, and
someone had conveyed it to him by saying:
“They are so and so, they do this and that,”
then Sheikh Usamah would immediately cut him off:
“Except those who have the rahmah (mercy) of
Allah.”
“Illa Man Rahimahullah : Except those who have
the rahmah of Allah” is a phrase used by the Arabs to express that not
everyone is like that, or not everyone is like what you say, or to show that the
people who are loved by Allah will not be like that.
Rahimallahu Shaikhana Abu Abdillah Usamah Bin
Laden wa taqobbala minhu shahadatahu wa rafa’aahu fil Firdaus Al A’laa wa
alhaqona bihi wa jami’is shuhada’i fi sabilihi.
One day Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir advised yours truly:
“Today, the gun muzzles of
the enemies of Allah are already in front of our heads, if indeed the Muslims
cannot unite, at least let us not show the divisions to the enemies of Islam
which will only make them laugh happily witnessing us chiding each other..!!”
Ikhwah Fillah, no matter what
differences we have, let us as much as possible remain looking after the
akhlaq and
adab as fellow Muslims. A Mujahid
ikhwah reminded me:
“Those who have been placed by Allah in the
fronts of death defending the izzah of Islam and the Muslims, in confrontation
with the kuffar, do not think they could reach there before they have the credit
points, in the form of:
“Humble toward the believers,
powerful against the disbelievers.” (QS. Al Ma'idah : 54)
Thus, if in this cyberworld, the hardness and the sharpness of the tongues of
some ikhwah, are still directed at the
Muslim brothers and sisters.. then when will Allah make them reach:
“they are upon jihad in the
cause of Allah”?

Allah
Azza Wa Jalla says (meaning) :
“O you who have believed,
whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allah will bring forth [in
place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble
toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the
cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah
; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.”
“Your ally is none but
Allah and [therefore] His Messenger and those who have believed - those who
establish prayer and give zakah, and they bow [in worship].” “And whoever is an
ally of Allah and His Messenger and those who have believed - indeed, the party
of Allah - they will be the predominant.”
(QS Al Ma'idah : 54 – 56)
“You will not find a people who
believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah
and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their
brothers or their kindred. Those - He has decreed within their hearts faith and
supported them with spirit from Him. And We will admit them to gardens beneath
which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allah is pleased with them, and
they are pleased with Him - those are the party of Allah . Unquestionably, the
party of Allah - they are the successful.” (QS. Al Mujadilah : 22)
Allahumma allif bayna quluubinaa wa wahhid
sufuufanaa
"O Allah fasten our hearts and unite our saff
(ranks)..!!"
"Our Lord, forgive us our sins
and the excess [committed] in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us
victory over the disbelieving people." (QS.
Ali Imran : 147)
"Our Lord, forgive us and our
brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment
toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."
(QS. Al Hashr : 10)
