• Report | What Is Turkey Doing in Syria? (1/2):

    The time has come to expose Turkey’s Zionist alignment, which has used deceptive tactics to project itself as an “Islamic savior.” Through orchestrated narratives and substantial financial backing, Turkey promoted the concept of a “Caliphate State” to gain influence, targeting regions where such ideas resonate deeply. This campaign, driven by Mossad, CIA, and Turkish intelligence, sought to sustain Erdoğan’s popularity by constructing an artificial image of him as a leader of the Muslim world. This effort also aimed to overshadow the natural leadership and respect garnered by figures like Imam Khomeini (r).

    Erdoğan’s hypocrisy is evident in his controlled, scripted rhetoric against America and Israel while covertly aligning with their interests. Under this facade, he has become an integral part of the Greater Israel project. His followers, oblivious to this duplicity, ignore or silence discussions about his actual alliances. Particularly in the Indian subcontinent, Erdoğan targeted millions seeking Islamic leadership or a messianic figure, exploiting their aspirations with hollow promises and rhetoric. That is why the Zionist nature of Turkey remained hidden since long but as Shaheed Sinwar said this war will expose all kinds of traitors here we are:

    1) Turkey’s Strategy in Aleppo

    1. Calculated Pressure Campaign:
    What’s happening in Aleppo is a carefully orchestrated Turkish offensive with clear Israeli involvement in timing. Erdoğan is using firepower to pressure Damascus into an agreement that would allow him to offload the refugee crisis and rid Turkey of individuals no longer serving its agenda.
    2. Two Years of Escalation:
    This wide-scale attack comes after two years of persistent breaches and infiltration attempts along the Latakia countryside. Launching a broad offensive now is aimed at increasing pressure on Damascus.
    3. Response by Syria and Its Allies:
    Syria and the Axis of Resistance are working to restore the situation on the ground, reaffirming that no agreement with Ankara will be made unless it aligns with Syrian sovereignty.

    The Hypocrisy of Turkish Actions

    The brazenness of Turkish-backed militants like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, often coordinating with Israel, is now clear. This so-called “revolution” has brought nothing but destruction. Observers who still support or remain silent about Turkey’s betrayal should wake up to the reality of its role as an agent of imperialist agendas.

    لَّقَدۡ صَدَقَ ٱللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ ٱلرُّءۡیَا بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ

    "Demi sesungguhnya! Allah tetap menyatakan benar RasulNya dalam perkara mimpi itu dengan kenyataan yang sebenar" [Surah al-Fatḥ 27]

    #al-Raghib al-Asfahani berkata: "Al-Ru’ya ialah apa yang dilihat dalam mimpi.

    #Antara mimpi yang menzahirkan rasa takjub ialah apabila mendengar seseorang itu pernah bermimpi melihat Rasulullah saw, kerana ia merupakan satu peristiwa yang
    pastinya diinginkan oleh setiap insan yang bergelar Muslim. Dan mimpi melihat Rasulullah saw adalah mimpi yang benar.

    #Sabda Rasulullah saw:

    مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَتَمَثَّلُ بِي ‏

    "Sesiapa yang melihatku di dalam mimpi, maka sememangnya dia melihatku, kerana sesungguhnya syaitan tidak dapat menyerupai rupaku" (HR al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

    #Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani berkata, hadis ini mengandungi isyarat bahawa, meskipun Allah swt membenarkan syaitan untuk menyerupai sesiapa sahaja yang dikehendaki, namun ia tetap terhalang dari menyerupai Nabi saw. Beberapa ulamak berpanjangan, yang dimaksudkan dalam hadith ini adalah apabila seseorang melihat Baginda saw dalam rupa yang sama seperti rupa asal Baginda saw.

    #Terdapat banyak riwayat tentang orang-orang soleh mimpi bertemu Rasulullah saw yang boleh kita ambil iktibar dan pengajaran:

    1. Dikisahkan oleh Ishaq bin Ismail katanya: Aku mendengar Sufyan at-Thauri berkata: "Aku telah melihat Nabi saw dalam mimpiku, lalu aku bertanya: Wahai Rasulullah, apa pendapatmu tentang bawang merah dan bawang putih. Baginda menjawab: Para malaikat merasa terganggu dengan keduanya. (Lihat: al-Manamat)

    2. Dikisahkan bahawa al-Muthanna bin Sa‘id al-Qasir telah menceritakan kepada kami, katanya: Aku mendengar Malik bin Anas (Imam Malik) berkata: "Tidak pernah aku melalui satu malam pun melainkan aku melihat Rasulullah saw dalam tidurku" (Lihat: Hilyah al-Auliya)

    3. Al-Rabi‘ bin Sulaiman meriwayatkan: Aku mendengar
    Imam as-Syafi‘i berkata: Aku melihat Nabi saw dalam mimpi,
    sebelum aku mencapai usia dewasa. Baginda berkata kepadaku: Wahai anak muda. Aku menjawab, Labbaik, wahai Rasulullah. Baginda bertanya: Dari golongan manakah engkau? Aku menjawab: Dari golonganmu, wahai Rasulullah. Baginda berkata: Dekatkan dirimu kepadaku: Maka aku pun mendekat, lalu Baginda mengambil sedikit daripada air liurnya. Aku membuka mulutku, dan Baginda menyapukan air liurnya pada lidahku, mulutku, dan bibirku, sambil berkata: Teruskanlah, semoga Allah memberkatimu. (Lihat: Manaqib al-Syafi‘i. al-Baihaqi)

    4. Syeikh Muhammad bin Abdul Malik Al-Zughbi pernah menceritakan kisahnya, lebih kurang 16 tahun yang lalu, bahawa beliau telah bermimpi bertemu Rasulullah saw sebanyak 47 kali. Pada suatu ketika, beliau merasakan Rasulullah saw menyentuh kepala dan belakangnya, dan beliau dapat merasai kesejukan jari-jemari baginda pada kepalanya dan belakangnya. Kisah ini diceritakannya dalam rancangan Muntada Fursan al-Sunnah li al-Intaj al-Islami. Syeikh Muhammad bin Abdul Malik Al-Zughbi merupakan 
    seorang pendakwah Islam terkenal dari Mesir. Beliau terlibat dalam Rabitah al-Alam al-Islami (Liga Muslim Sedunia) di Mekah, khususnya dalam bahagian Mukjizat Saintifik dalam Al-Quran dan Sunnah.

    #Ya Allah, kurniakanlah aku kesempatan untuk bertemu dengan RasulMu, Nabi Muhammad saw, dalam mimpiku. Jadikan pertemuan itu sebagai pendorong kecintaan dan ikutan terhadap sunnah Baginda. Ya Allah, limpahkanlah selawat dan salam kepada Nabi Muhammad, ahli keluarganya, dan para sahabatnya. Aamiiin.

    ♡Jelas bahawa mimpi bertemu Rasulullah saw termasuk dalam mimpi yang baik dan merupakan perkhabaran gembira buat seseorang. Ini menunjukkan bahawa terdapat keistimewaan dalam dirinya yang membolehkannya bertemu dengan insan yang paling mulia, sekiranya benar orang yang dijumpainya itu adalah Rasulullah saw berdasarkan sifat-sifat Baginda yang diceritakan dalam hadis dan sesuai dengannya. Oleh itu, secara umumnya, tidak menjadi masalah untuk seseorang menceritakan mimpinya bertemu Rasulullah saw.

    Bahkan Baginda saw sendiri membenarkan seseorang yang bermimpi sesuatu perkara yang baik untuk menceritakannya kepada orang lain♡

  • *Do'a Menjelang Maghrib*

    اَللّٰهُمَّ هٰذَا اِقْبَالُ لَيْلِكَ وَاِدْبَارُنَهَارِكَ وَأَصْوَاتُ دُعَاءِكَ فَاغْفِرْلِى ...

    *Allahumma haadza iqbaalu laylika wa idbaaru nahaarika wa ashwaatu du'aaika faghfirlii...*

    _Ya Allah... ini adalah kedatangan malamMu dan lenyapnya siangMu, serta suara orang-orang yang berdoa padaMu maka ampunilah aku_

    *(sumber: Al Adzkar Imam Nawawi).*

    Apabila waktu shalat telah tiba, maka tinggalkanlah semua kegiatanmu, sebab Allah Subhaanahu Wata'aalaa lebih pantas untuk engkau perhatikan daripada yang lainnya.

    *(Habib Umar bin Abdurrahman al-atthas)*

    *Keutamaan Waktu antara Maghrib dan Isya'*


    Waktu ini sangat singkat. Tapi penuh dengan kucuran rahmat Allah.

    Alhabib Abdullah bin Abu Bakar Alidrus berkata

    الكنوز كل الكنوز فيما بين المغرب و العشاء
    *Pusaka (hal yang paling berharga) dari segala pusaka ada pada waktu antara maghrib dan isya'.*

    Dikisahkan bahwa ada seorang murid mengadu kepada gurunya. Dia berkata," _Wahai syekh, aku ini sangat ingin untuk beribadah puasa dipagi hari dan juga ingin menghidupkan waktu antara maghrib dan isya' dengan ibadah. Akan tetapi jika aku lakukan keduanya itu sangat susah. Jika paginya aku berpuasa, tentu diwaktu maghrib aku akan sibuk untuk berbuka,masak, dll. Lalu bagaimana??_

    Gurunya menjawab, " _Kau lakukan keduanya itulah yang afdhol...!! Pagi harinya berpuasa, dan ketika adzan magrib engkau berbuka sebentar kemudian langsung beribadah._"
    Muridnya pun mengadu bahwa susah melakukan 2 hal itu. Lantas mana yang harus dipilih diantara 2 ibadah itu..? Puasa tapi waktu antara maghrib dan isya' sibuk dengan makanan,,, atau sebaliknya??
    Syekh tsb menjawab:
    اذن احيي بين العشائين!!

    *Kalau begitu, hidupkan waktu antara maghrib dan isya*

    Maka jangan lewatkan waktu yang mulia ini untuk hal yang sia-sia.
    Gunakan untuk beribadah.
    Setelah adzan maghrib langsung sholat berjama'ah,
    Kemudian sibukkan dengan mengaji, berdzikir,membaca ratib, dll hingga datang waktu isya'.👍🏻

    Yang lagi kerja,,stop dulu kerjaannya..

    Tidak Masuk Syurga Pemilik Sifat Sombong

    عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ قَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ ثَوْبُهُ حَسَنًا وَنَعْلُهُ حَسَنَةً قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ
     
    Daripada Abdullah bin Mas'ud RA dari Nabi SAW, baginda bersabda: "Tidak akan masuk syurga, orang yang di dalam hatinya terdapat seberat biji sawi dari kesombongan." Seorang laki-laki bertanya, "Sesungguhnya laki-laki menyukai apabila baju dan kasutnya bagus - cantik (apakah ini termasuk kesombongan)?"Baginda menjawab: "Sesungguhnya Allah itu cantik dan  menyukai yang cantik, kesombongan itu menolak kebenaran dan meremehkan manusia." (HR Muslim No: 131) Status: Hadis Sahih

    Pengajaran:

    1.  Sifat sombong adalah sifat iblis, merasa dirinya lebih baik dari yang lain

    2.  Imam Nawawi  berkata: Hadis ini berisi larangan dari sifat sombong iaitu menyombongkan diri kepada manusia, merendahkan mereka, serta menolak kebenaran

    3.  Tidak masuk syurga sesiapa yang memiliki sifat sombong dalam dirinya walaupun sebesar biji sawi.

    4.  Sifat sombong mendorong seseorang menolak kebenaran dan merendah serta memperlekeh orang lain.

    5.  Dalam Kitab Riadussolihin menyebutkan: Menolak kebenaran adalah dengan menolak dan berpaling darinya serta tidak mahu menerimanya. Sedangkan meremehkan manusia yakni merendahkan dan meremehkan orang lain, memandang orang lain tidak ada apa-apa dan melihat dirinya lebih dibandingkan orang lain

    6.  Suka kepada kecantikan pakaian tidak termasuk kepada sifat kesombongan.

    *Kisah Ashabul Kahfi – Bukti Ketinggian Ilmu Imam Ali Bin Abithalib R.A*

    ashabul-kahfi-15 Dalam surat al-Kahfi, Allah SWT menceritakan tiga kisah masa lalu, yaitu kisah Ashabul Kahfi, kisah pertemuan nabi Musa as dan nabi Khidzir as serta kisah Dzulqarnain. Kisah Ashabul Kahfi mendapat perhatian lebih dengan digunakan sebagai nama surat dimana terdapat tiga kisah tersebut. Hal ini tentu bukan kebetulan semata, tapi karena kisah Ashabul Kahfi, seperti juga kisah dalam al-Quran lainnya, bukan merupakan kisah semata, tapi juga terdapat banyak pelajaran (ibrah) didalamnya.

    Ashabul Kahfi adalah nama sekelompok orang beriman yang hidup pada masa Raja Diqyanus di Romawi, beberapa ratus tahun sebelum diutusnya nabi Isa as. Mereka hidup ditengah masyarakat penyembah berhala dengan seorang raja yang dzalim. Ketika sang raja mengetahui ada sekelompok orang yang tidak menyembah berhala, maka sang raja marah lalu memanggil mereka dan memerintahkan mereka untuk mengikuti kepercayaan sang raja. Tapi Ashabul Kahfi menolak dan lari, dikejarlah mereka untuk dibunuh. Ketika mereka lari dari kejaran pasukan raja, sampailah mereka di mulut sebuah gua yang kemudian dipakai tempat persembunyian.

    Dengan izin Allah mereka kemudian ditidurkan selama 309 tahun di dalam gua, dan dibangkitkan kembali ketika masyarakat dan raja mereka sudah berganti menjadi masyarakat dan raja yang beriman kepada Allah SWT (Ibnu Katsir; Tafsir al-Quran al-‘Adzim; jilid:3 ; hal.67-71).

    Berikut adalah kisah Ashabul Kahfi (Penghuni Gua) yang ditafsir secara jelas jalan ceritanya… ..

    Penulis kitab Fadha’ilul Khamsah Minas Shihahis Sittah (jilid II, halaman 291-300), mengetengahkan suatu riwayat yang dikutip dari kitab Qishashul Anbiya. Riwayat tersebut berkaitan dengan tafsir ayat 10 Surah Al-Kahfi:

    “(Ingatlah) tatkala pemuda-pemuda itu mencari tempat berlindung ke dalam gua lalu mereka berdo’a: “Wahai Tuhan kami berikanlah rahmat kepada kami dari sisi-Mu dan sempurnakanlah bagi kami petunjuk yang lurus dalam urusan kami (ini)” (QS al-Kahfi:10)

    Dengan panjang lebar kitab Qishashul Anbiya mulai dari halaman 566 meriwayatkan sebagai berikut:

    Di kala Umar Ibnul Khattab memangku jabatan sebagai Amirul Mukminin, pernah datang kepadanya beberapa orang pendeta Yahudi. Mereka berkata kepada Khalifah: “Hai Khalifah Umar, anda adalah pemegang kekuasaan sesudah Muhammad dan sahabatnya, Abu Bakar. Kami hendak menanyakan beberapa masalah penting kepada anda. Jika anda dapat memberi jawaban kepada kami, barulah kami mau mengerti bahwa Islam merupakan agama yang benar dan Muhammad benar-benar seorang Nabi. Sebaliknya, jika anda tidak dapat memberi jawaban, berarti bahwa agama Islam itu bathil dan Muhammad bukan seorang Nabi.”

    “Silahkan bertanya tentang apa saja yang kalian inginkan,” sahut Khalifah Umar.ashabul-kahfi-132

    “Jelaskan kepada kami tentang induk kunci (gembok) mengancing langit, apakah itu?” Tanya pendeta-pendeta itu, memulai pertanyaan-pertanya annya. “Terangkan kepada kami tentang adanya sebuah kuburan yang berjalan bersama penghuninya, apakah itu? Tunjukkan kepada kami tentang suatu makhluk yang dapat memberi peringatan kepada bangsanya, tetapi ia bukan manusia dan bukan jin! Terangkan kepada kami tentang lima jenis makhluk yang dapat berjalan di permukaan bumi, tetapi makhluk-makhluk itu tidak dilahirkan dari kandungan ibu atau atau induknya! Beritahukan kepada kami apa yang dikatakan oleh burung puyuh (gemak) di saat ia sedang berkicau! Apakah yang dikatakan oleh ayam jantan di kala ia sedang berkokok! Apakah yang dikatakan oleh kuda di saat ia sedang meringkik? Apakah yang dikatakan oleh katak di waktu ia sedang bersuara? Apakah yang dikatakan oleh keledai di saat ia sedang meringkik? Apakah yang dikatakan oleh burung pipit pada waktu ia sedang berkicau?”

    Khalifah Umar menundukkan kepala untuk berfikir sejenak, kemudian berkata: “Bagi Umar, jika ia menjawab ‘tidak tahu’ atas pertanyaan-pertanya an yang memang tidak diketahui jawabannya, itu bukan suatu hal yang memalukan!”

    Mendengar jawaban Khalifah Umar seperti itu, pendeta-pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya berdiri melonjak-lonjak kegirangan, sambil berkata: “Sekarang kami bersaksi bahwa Muhammad memang bukan seorang Nabi, dan agama Islam itu adalah bathil!”

    Salman Al-Farisi yang saat itu hadir, segera bangkit dan berkata kepada pendeta-pendeta Yahudi itu: “Kalian tunggu sebentar!”

    Ia cepat-cepat pergi ke rumah Ali bin Abi Thalib. Setelah bertemu, Salman berkata: “Ya Abal Hasan, selamatkanlahagama Islam!”

    Imam Ali r.a. bingung, lalu bertanya: “Mengapa?”

    Salman kemudian menceritakan apa yang sedang dihadapi oleh Khalifah Umar Ibnul Khattab. Imam Ali segera saja berangkat menuju ke rumah Khalifah Umar, berjalan lenggang memakai burdah (selembar kain penutup punggung atau leher) peninggalan Rasul Allah s.a.w. Ketika Umar melihat Ali bin Abi Thalib datang, ia bangun dari tempat duduk lalu buru-buru memeluknya, sambil berkata: “Ya Abal Hasan, tiap ada kesulitan besar, engkau selalu kupanggil!”

    Setelah berhadap-hadapan dengan para pendeta yang sedang menunggu-nunggu jawaban itu, Ali bin Abi Thalib herkata: “Silakan kalian bertanya tentang apa saja yang kalian inginkan. Rasul Allah s.a.w. sudah mengajarku seribu macam ilmu, dan tiap jenis dari ilmu-ilmu itu mempunyai seribu macam cabang ilmu!”

    Pendeta-pendeta Yahudi itu lalu mengulangi pertanyaan-pertanya an mereka. Sebelum menjawab, Ali bin Abi Thalib berkata: “Aku ingin mengajukan suatu syarat kepada kalian, yaitu jika ternyata aku nanti sudah menjawab pertanyaan-pertanya an kalian sesuai dengan yang ada di dalam Taurat, kalian supaya bersedia memeluk agama kami dan beriman!”

    “Ya baik!” jawab mereka.ashabul-kahfi-14

    “Sekarang tanyakanlah satu demi satu,” kata Ali bin Abi Thalib.

    Mereka mulai bertanya: “Apakah induk kunci (gembok) yang mengancing pintu-pintu langit?”

    “Induk kunci itu,” jawab Ali bin Abi Thalib, “ialah syirik kepada Allah. Sebab semua hamba Allah, baik pria maupun wanita, jika ia bersyirik kepada Allah, amalnya tidak akan dapat naik sampai ke hadhirat Allah!”

    Para pendeta Yahudi bertanya lagi: “Anak kunci apakah yang dapat membuka pintu-pintu langit?”

    Ali bin Abi Thalib menjawab: “Anak kunci itu ialah kesaksian (syahadat) bahwa tiada tuhan selain Allah dan Muhammad adalah Rasul Allah!”

    Para pendeta Yahudi itu saling pandang di antara mereka, sambil berkata: “Orang itu benar juga!” Mereka bertanyalebih lanjut: “Terangkanlah kepada kami tentang adanya sebuah kuburan yang dapat berjalan bersama penghuninya! “

    “Kuburan itu ialah ikan hiu (hut) yang menelan Nabi Yunus putera Matta,” jawab Ali bin Abi Thalib. “Nabi Yunus as. dibawa keliling ketujuh samudera!”

    Pendeta-pendeta itu meneruskan pertanyaannya lagi: “Jelaskan kepada kami tentang makhluk yang dapat memberi peringatan kepada bangsanya, tetapi makhluk itu bukan manusia dan bukan jin!”

    Ali bin Abi Thalib menjawab: “Makhluk itu ialah semut Nabi Sulaiman putera Nabi Dawud alaihimas salam. Semut itu berkata kepada kaumnya: “Hai para semut, masuklah ke dalam tempat kediaman kalian, agar tidak diinjak-injak oleh Sulaiman dan pasukan-nya dalam keadaan mereka tidak sadar!”

    Para pendeta Yahudi itu meneruskan pertanyaannya: “Beritahukan kepada kami tentang lima jenis makhluk yang berjalan di atas permukaan bumi, tetapi tidak satu pun di antara makhluk-makhluk itu yang dilahirkan dari kandungan ibunya atau induknya!”

    Ali bin Abi Thalib menjawab: “Lima makhluk itu ialah, pertama, Adam. Kedua, Hawa. Ketiga, Unta Nabi Shaleh. Keempat, Domba Nabi Ibrahim. Kelima, Tongkat Nabi Musa (yang menjelma menjadi seekor ular).”

    Dua di antara tiga orang pendeta Yahudi itu setelah mendengar jawaban-jawaban serta penjelasan yang diberikan oleh Imam Ali r.a. lalu mengatakan: “Kami bersaksi bahwa tiada tuhan selain Allah dan Muhammad adalah Rasul Allah!”

    Tetapi seorang pendeta lainnya, bangun berdiri sambil berkata kepada Ali bin Abi Thalib: “Hai Ali, hati teman-temanku sudah dihinggapi oleh sesuatu yang sama seperti iman dan keyakinan mengenai benarnya agama Islam. Sekarang masih ada satu hal lagi yang ingin kutanyakan kepada anda.”

    “Tanyakanlah apa saja yang kau inginkan,” sahut Imam Ali.

    “Coba terangkan kepadaku tentang sejumlah orang yang pada zaman dahulu sudah mati selama 309 tahun, kemudian dihidupkan kembali oleh Allah. Bagaimana hikayat tentang mereka itu?” Tanya pendeta tadi.

    Ali bin Ali Thalib menjawab: “Hai pendeta Yahudi, mereka itu ialah para penghuni gua. Hikayat tentang mereka itu sudah dikisahkan oleh Allah s.w.t. kepada Rasul-Nya. Jika engkau mau, akan kubacakan kisah mereka itu.”

    Pendeta Yahudi itu menyahut: “Aku sudah banyak mendengar tentang Qur’an kalian itu! Jika engkau memang benar-benar tahu, coba sebutkan nama-nama mereka, nama ayah-ayah mereka, nama kota mereka, nama raja mereka, nama anjing mereka, nama gunung serta gua mereka, dan semua kisah mereka dari awal sampai akhir!”

    Ali bin Abi Thalib kemudian membetulkan duduknya, menekuk lutut ke depan perut, lalu ditopangnya dengan burdah yang diikatkan ke pinggang. Lalu ia berkata: “Hai saudara Yahudi, Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. kekasihku telah menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa kisah itu terjadi di negeri Romawi, di sebuah kota bernama Aphesus, atau disebut juga dengan nama Tharsus. Tetapi nama kota itu pada zaman dahulu ialah Aphesus (Ephese). Baru setelah Islam datang, kota itu berubah nama menjadi Tharsus (Tarse, sekarang terletak di dalam wilayah Turki). Penduduk negeri itu dahulunya mempunyai seorang raja yang baik. Setelah raja itu meninggal dunia, berita kematiannya didengar oleh seorang raja Persia bernama Diqyanius. Ia seorang raja kafir yang amat congkak dan dzalim. Ia datang menyerbu negeri itu dengan kekuatan pasukannya, dan akhirnya berhasil menguasai kota Aphesus. Olehnya kota itu dijadikan ibukota kerajaan, lalu dibangunlah sebuah Istana.”ashabul-kahfi-10

    Baru sampai di situ, pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya itu berdiri, terus bertanya: “Jika engkau benar-benar tahu, coba terangkan kepadaku bentuk Istana itu, bagaimana serambi dan ruangan-ruangannya! “

    Ali bin Abi Thalib menerangkan: “Hai saudara Yahudi, raja itu membangun istana yang sangat megah, terbuat dari batu marmar. Panjangnya satu farsakh (= kl 8 km) dan lebarnya pun satu farsakh. Pilar-pilarnya yang berjumlah seribu buah, semuanya terbuat dari emas, dan lampu-lampu yang berjumlah seribu buah, juga semuanya terbuat dari emas. Lampu-lampu itu bergelantungan pada rantai-rantai yang terbuat dari perak. Tiap malam apinya dinyalakan dengan sejenis minyak yang harum baunya. Di sebelah timur serambi dibuat lubang-lubang cahaya sebanyak seratus buah, demikian pula di sebelah baratnya. Sehingga matahari sejak mulai terbit sampai terbenam selalu dapat menerangi serambi. Raja itu pun membuat sebuah singgasana dari emas. Panjangnya 80 hasta dan lebarnya 40 hasta. Di sebelah kanannya tersedia 80 buah kursi, semuanya terbuat dari emas. Di situlah para hulubalang kerajaan duduk. Di sebelah kirinya juga disediakan 80 buah kursi terbuat dari emas, untuk duduk para pepatih dan penguasa-penguasa tinggi lainnya. Raja duduk di atas singgasana dengan mengenakan mahkota di atas kepala.”

    Sampai di situ pendeta yang bersangkutan berdiri lagi sambil berkata: “Jika engkau benar-benar tahu, coba terangkan kepadaku dari apakah mahkota itu dibuat?”

    “Hai saudara Yahudi,” kata Imam Ali menerangkan, “mahkota raja itu terbuat dari kepingan-kepingan emas, berkaki 9 buah, dan tiap kakinya bertaburan mutiara yang memantulkan cahaya laksana bintang-bintang menerangi kegelapan malam. Raja itu juga mempunyai 50 orang pelayan, terdiri dari anak-anak para hulubalang. Semuanya memakai selempang dan baju sutera berwarna merah. Celana mereka juga terbuat dari sutera berwarna hijau. Semuanya dihias dengan gelang-gelang kaki yang sangat indah. Masing-masing diberi tongkat terbuat dari emas. Mereka harus berdiri di belakang raja. Selain mereka, raja juga mengangkat 6 orang, terdiri dari anak-anak para cendekiawan, untuk dijadikan menteri-menteri atau pembantu-pembantuny a. Raja tidak mengambil suatu keputusan apa pun tanpa berunding lebih dulu dengan mereka. Enam orang pembantu itu selalu berada di kanan kiri raja, tiga orang berdiri di sebelah kanan dan yang tiga orang lainnya berdiri di sebelah kiri.”

    Pendeta yang bertanya itu berdiri lagi. Lalu berkata: “Hai Ali, jika yang kau katakan itu benar, coba sebutkan nama enam orang yang menjadi pembantu-pembantu raja itu!”

    Menanggapi hal itu, Imam Ali r.a. menjawab: “Kekasihku Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa tiga orang yang berdiri di sebelah kanan raja, masing-masing bernama Tamlikha, Miksalmina, dan Mikhaslimina. Adapun tiga orang pembantu yang berdiri di sebelah kiri, masing-masing bernama Martelius, Casitius dan Sidemius. Raja selalu berunding dengan mereka mengenai segala urusan.

    Tiap hari setelah raja duduk dalam serambi istana dikerumuni oleh semua hulubalang dan para punggawa, masuklah tiga orang pelayan menghadap raja. Seorang diantaranya membawa piala emas penuh berisi wewangian murni. Seorang lagi membawa piala perak penuh berisi air sari bunga. Sedang yang seorangnya lagi membawa seekor burung. Orang yang membawa burung ini kemudian mengeluarkan suara isyarat, lalu burung itu terbang di atas piala yang berisi air sari bunga. Burung itu berkecimpung di dalamnya dan setelah itu ia mengibas-ngibaskan sayap serta bulunya, sampai sari-bunga itu habis dipercikkan ke semua tempat sekitarnya.

    Kemudian si pembawa burung tadi mengeluarkan suara isyarat lagi. Burung itu terbang pula. Lalu hinggap di atas piala yang berisi wewangian murni. Sambil berkecimpung di dalamnya, burung itu mengibas-ngibaskan sayap dan bulunya, sampai wewangian murni yang ada dalam piala itu habis dipercikkan ke tempat sekitarnya. Pembawa burung itu memberi isyarat suara lagi. Burung itu lalu terbang dan hinggap di atas mahkota raja, sambil membentangkan kedua sayap yang harum semerbak di atas kepala raja.

    Demikianlah raja itu berada di atas singgasana kekuasaan selama tiga puluh tahun. Selama itu ia tidak pernah diserang penyakit apa pun, tidak pernah merasa pusing kepala, sakit perut, demam, berliur, berludah atau pun beringus. Setelah sang raja merasa diri sedemikian kuat dan sehat, ia mulai congkak, durhaka dan dzalim. Ia mengaku-aku diri sebagai “tuhan” dan tidak mau lagi mengakui adanya Allah s.w.t.ashabul-kahfi-11

    Raja itu kemudian memanggil orang-orang terkemuka dari rakyatnya. Barang siapa yang taat dan patuh kepadanya,diberi pakaian dan berbagai macam hadiah lainnya. Tetapi barang siapa yang tidak mau taat atau tidak bersedia mengikuti kemauannya, ia akan segera dibunuh. Oleh sebab itu semua orang terpaksa mengiakan kemauannya. Dalam masa yang cukup lama, semua orang patuh kepada raja itu, sampai ia disembah dan dipuja. Mereka tidak lagi memuja dan menyembah Allah s.w.t.

    Pada suatu hari perayaan ulang-tahunnya, raja sedang duduk di atas singgasana mengenakan mahkota di atas kepala, tiba-tiba masuklah seorang hulubalang memberi tahu, bahwa ada balatentara asing masuk menyerbu ke dalam wilayah kerajaannya, dengan maksud hendak melancarkan peperangan terhadap raja. Demikian sedih dan bingungnya raja itu, sampai tanpa disadari mahkota yang sedang dipakainya jatuh dari kepala. Kemudian raja itu sendiri jatuh terpelanting dari atas singgasana. Salah seorang pembantu yang berdiri di sebelah kanan –seorang cerdas yang bernama Tamlikha– memperhatikan keadaan sang raja dengan sepenuh fikiran. Ia berfikir, lalu berkata di dalam hati: “Kalau Diqyanius itu benar-benar tuhan sebagaimana menurut pengakuannya, tentu ia tidak akan sedih, tidak tidur, tidak buang air kecil atau pun air besar. Itu semua bukanlah sifat-sifat Tuhan.”

    Enam orang pembantu raja itu tiap hari selalu mengadakan pertemuan di tempat salah seorang dari mereka secara bergiliran. Pada satu hari tibalah giliran Tamlikha menerima kunjungan lima orang temannya. Mereka berkumpul di rumah Tamlikha untuk makan dan minum, tetapi Tamlikha sendiri tidak ikut makan dan minum. Teman-temannya bertanya: “Hai Tamlikha, mengapa engkau tidak mau makan dan tidak mau minum?”

    “Teman-teman, ” sahut Tamlikha, “hatiku sedang dirisaukan oleh sesuatu yang membuatku tidak ingin makan dan tidak ingin minum, juga tidak ingin tidur.”

    Teman-temannya mengejar: “Apakah yang merisaukan hatimu, hai Tamlikha?”

    “Sudah lama aku memikirkan soal langit,” ujar Tamlikha menjelaskan. “Aku lalu bertanya pada diriku sendiri: ‘siapakah yang mengangkatnya ke atas sebagai atap yang senantiasa aman dan terpelihara, tanpa gantungan dari atas dan tanpa tiang yang menopangnya dari bawah? Siapakah yang menjalankan matahari dan bulan di langit itu? Siapakah yang menghias langit itu dengan bintang-bintang bertaburan?’ Kemudian kupikirkan juga bumi ini: ‘Siapakah yang membentang dan menghamparkan- nya di cakrawala? Siapakah yang menahannya dengan gunung-gunung raksasa agar tidak goyah, tidak goncang dan tidak miring?’ Aku juga lama sekali memikirkan diriku sendiri: ‘Siapakah yang mengeluarkan aku sebagai bayi dari perut ibuku? Siapakah yang memelihara hidupku dan memberi makan kepadaku? Semuanya itu pasti ada yang membuat, dan sudah tentu bukan Diqyanius’…”

    Teman-teman Tamlikha lalu bertekuk lutut di hadapannya. Dua kaki Tamlikha diciumi sambil berkata: “Hai Tamlikha dalam hati kami sekarang terasa sesuatu seperti yang ada di dalam hatimu. Oleh karena itu, baiklah engkau tunjukkan jalan keluar bagi kita semua!”

    “Saudara-saudara, ” jawab Tamlikha, “baik aku maupun kalian tidak menemukan akal selain harus lari meninggalkan raja yang dzalim itu, pergi kepada Raja pencipta langit dan bumi!”

    “Kami setuju dengan pendapatmu,” sahut teman-temannya.

    Tamlikha lalu berdiri, terus beranjak pergi untuk menjual buah kurma, dan akhirnya berhasil mendapat uang sebanyak 3 dirham. Uang itu kemudian diselipkan dalam kantong baju. Lalu berangkat berkendaraan kuda bersama-sama dengan lima orang temannya.

    Setelah berjalan 3 mil jauhnya dari kota, Tamlikha berkata kepada teman-temannya: “Saudara-saudara, kita sekarang sudah terlepas dari raja dunia dan dari kekuasaannya. Sekarang turunlah kalian dari kuda dan marilah kita berjalan kaki. Mudah-mudahan Allah akan memudahkan urusan kita serta memberikan jalan keluar.”

    Mereka turun dari kudanya masing-masing. Lalu berjalan kaki sejauh 7 farsakh, sampai kaki mereka bengkak berdarah karena tidak biasa berjalan kaki sejauh itu.ashabul-kahfi-12

    Tiba-tiba datanglah seorang penggembala menyambut mereka. Kepada penggembala itu mereka bertanya: “Hai penggembala, apakah engkau mempunyai air minum atau susu?”

    “Aku mempunyai semua yang kalian inginkan,” sahut penggembala itu. “Tetapi kulihat wajah kalian semuanya seperti kaum bangsawan. Aku menduga kalian itu pasti melarikan diri. Coba beritahukan kepadaku bagaimana cerita perjalanan kalian itu!”

    “Ah…, susahnya orang ini,” jawab mereka. “Kami sudah memeluk suatu agama, kami tidak boleh berdusta. Apakah kami akan selamat jika kami mengatakan yang sebenarnya?”

    “Ya,” jawab penggembala itu.

    Tamlikha dan teman-temannya lalu menceritakan semua yang terjadi pada diri mereka. Mendengar cerita mereka, penggembala itu segera bertekuk lutut di depan mereka, dan sambil menciumi kaki mereka, ia berkata: “Dalam hatiku sekarang terasa sesuatu seperti yang ada dalam hati kalian. Kalian berhenti sajalah dahulu di sini. Aku hendak mengembalikan kambing-kambing itu kepada pemiliknya. Nanti aku akan segera kembali lagi kepada kalian.”

    Tamlikha bersama teman-temannya berhenti. Penggembala itu segera pergi untuk mengembalikan kambing-kambing gembalaannya. Tak lama kemudian ia datang lagi berjalan kaki, diikuti oleh seekor anjing miliknya.”

    Waktu cerita Imam Ali sampai di situ, pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya melonjak berdiri lagi sambil berkata: “Hai Ali, jika engkau benar-benar tahu, coba sebutkan apakah warna anjing itu dan siapakah namanya?”

    “Hai saudara Yahudi,” kata Ali bin Abi Thalib memberitahukan, “kekasihku Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa anjing itu berwarna kehitam-hitaman dan bernama Qithmir. Ketika enam orang pelarian itu melihat seekor anjing, masing-masing saling berkata kepada temannya: kita khawatir kalau-kalau anjing itu nantinya akan membongkar rahasia kita! Mereka minta kepada penggembala supaya anjing itu dihalau saja dengan batu.

    Anjing itu melihat kepada Tamlikha dan teman-temannya, lalu duduk di atas dua kaki belakang, menggeliat, dan mengucapkan kata-kata dengan lancar dan jelas sekali: “Hai orang-orang, mengapa kalian hendak mengusirku, padahal aku ini bersaksi tiada tuhan selain Allah, tak ada sekutu apa pun bagi-Nya. Biarlah aku menjaga kalian dari musuh, dan dengan berbuat demikian aku mendekatkan diriku kepada Allah s.w.t.”

    Anjing itu akhirnya dibiarkan saja. Mereka lalu pergi. Penggembala tadi mengajak mereka naik ke sebuah bukit. Lalu bersama mereka mendekati sebuah gua.”

    Pendeta Yahudi yang menanyakan kisah itu, bangun lagi dari tempat duduknya sambil berkata: “Apakah nama gunung itu dan apakah nama gua itu?!”

    Imam Ali menjelaskan: “Gunung itu bernama Naglus dan nama gua itu ialah Washid, atau di sebut juga dengan nama Kheram!”

    Ali bin Abi Thalib meneruskan ceritanya: secara tiba-tiba di depan gua itu tumbuh pepohonan berbuah dan memancur mata-air deras sekali. Mereka makan buah-buahan dan minum air yang tersedia di tempat itu. Setelah tiba waktu malam, mereka masuk berlindung di dalam gua. Sedang anjing yang sejak tadi mengikuti mereka, berjaga-jaga ndeprok sambil menjulurkan dua kaki depan untuk menghalang-halangi pintu gua. Kemudian Allah s.w.t. memerintahkan Malaikat maut supaya mencabut nyawa mereka. Kepada masing-masing orang dari mereka Allah s.w.t. mewakilkan dua Malaikat untuk membalik-balik tubuh mereka dari kanan ke kiri. Allah lalu memerintahkan matahari supaya pada saat terbit condong memancarkan sinarnya ke dalam gua dari arah kanan, dan pada saat hampir terbenam supaya sinarnya mulai meninggalkan mereka dari arah kiri.

    Suatu ketika waktu raja Diqyanius baru saja selesai berpesta ia bertanya tentang enam orang pembantunya. Ia mendapat jawaban, bahwa mereka itu melarikan diri. Raja Diqyanius sangat gusar. Bersama 80.000 pasukan berkuda ia cepat-cepat berangkat menyelusuri jejak enam orang pembantu yang melarikan diri. Ia naik ke atas bukit, kemudian mendekati gua. Ia melihat enam orang pembantunya yang melarikan diri itu sedang tidur berbaring di dalam gua. Ia tidak ragu-ragu dan memastikan bahwa enam orang itu benar-benar sedang tidur.

    Kepada para pengikutnya ia berkata: “Kalau aku hendak menghukum mereka, tidak akan kujatuhkan hukuman yang lebih berat dari perbuatan mereka yang telah menyiksa diri mereka sendiri di dalam gua. Panggillah tukang-tukang batu supaya mereka segera datang ke mari!”

    Setelah tukang-tukang batu itu tiba, mereka diperintahkan menutup rapat pintu gua dengan batu-batu dan jish (bahan semacam semen). Selesai dikerjakan, raja berkata kepada para pengikutnya: “Katakanlah kepada mereka yang ada di dalam gua, kalau benar-benar mereka itu tidak berdusta supaya minta tolong kepada Tuhan mereka yang ada di langit, agar mereka dikeluarkan dari tempat itu.”

    Dalam goa tertutup rapat itu, mereka tinggal selama 309 tahun.

    Setelah masa yang amat panjang itu lampau, Allah s.w.t. mengembalikan lagi nyawa mereka. Pada saat matahari sudah mulai memancarkan sinar, mereka merasa seakan-akan baru bangun dari tidurnya masing-masing. Yang seorang berkata kepada yang lainnya: “Malam tadi kami lupa beribadah kepada Allah, mari kita pergi ke mata air!”

    Setelah mereka berada di luar gua, tiba-tiba mereka lihat mata air itu sudah mengering kembali dan pepohonan yang ada pun sudah menjadi kering semuanya. Allah s.w.t. membuat mereka mulai merasa lapar. Mereka saling bertanya: “Siapakah di antara kita ini yang sanggup dan bersedia berangkat ke kota membawa uang untuk bisa mendapatkan makanan? Tetapi yang akan pergi ke kota nanti supaya hati-hati benar, jangan sampai membeli makanan yang dimasak dengan lemak-babi.”

    Tamlikha kemudian berkata: “Hai saudara-saudara, aku sajalah yang berangkat untuk mendapatkan makanan. Tetapi, hai penggembala, berikanlah bajumu kepadaku dan ambillah bajuku ini!”

    Setelah Tamlikha memakai baju penggembala, ia berangkat menuju ke kota. Sepanjang jalan ia melewati tempat-tempat yang sama sekali belum pernah dikenalnya, melalui jalan-jalan yang belum pernah diketahui. Setibanya dekat pintu gerbang kota, ia melihat bendera hijau berkibar di angkasa bertuliskan: “Tiada Tuhan selain Allah dan Isa adalah Roh Allah.”

    Tamlikha berhenti sejenak memandang bendera itu sambil mengusap-usap mata, lalu berkata seorang diri: “Kusangka aku ini masih tidur!” Setelah agak lama memandang dan mengamat-amati bendera, ia meneruskan perjalanan memasuki kota. Dilihatnya banyak orang sedang membaca Injil. Ia berpapasan dengan orang-orang yang belum pernah dikenal. Setibanya di sebuah pasar ia bertanya kepada seorang penjaja roti: “Hai tukang roti, apakah nama kota kalian ini?”

    “Aphesus,” sahut penjual roti itu.

    “Siapakah nama raja kalian?” tanya Tamlikha lagi. “Abdurrahman, ” jawab penjual roti.

    “Kalau yang kau katakan itu benar,” kata Tamlikha, “urusanku ini sungguh aneh sekali! Ambillah uang ini dan berilah makanan kepadaku!”

    Melihat uang itu, penjual roti keheran-heranan. Karena uang yang dibawa Tamlikha itu uang zaman lampau, yang ukurannya lebih besar dan lebih berat.

    Pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya itu kemudian berdiri lagi, lalu berkata kepada Ali bin Abi Thalib: “Hai Ali, kalau benar-benar engkau mengetahui, coba terangkan kepadaku berapa nilai uang lama itu dibanding dengan uang baru!”

    Imam Ali menerangkan: “Kekasihku Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa uang yang dibawa oleh Tamlikha dibanding dengan uang baru, ialah tiap dirham lama sama dengan sepuluh dan dua pertiga dirham baru!”ashabul-kahfi-16

    Imam Ali kemudian melanjutkan ceritanya: Penjual Roti lalu berkata kepada Tamlikha: “Aduhai, alangkah beruntungnya aku! Rupanya engkau baru menemukan harta karun! Berikan sisa uang itu kepadaku! Kalau tidak, engkau akan ku hadapkan kepada raja!”

    “Aku tidak menemukan harta karun,” sangkal Tamlikha. “Uang ini ku dapat tiga hari yang lalu dari hasil penjualan buah kurma seharga tiga dirham! Aku kemudian meninggalkan kota karena orang-orang semuanya menyembah Diqyanius!”

    Penjual roti itu marah. Lalu berkata: “Apakah setelah engkau menemukan harta karun masih juga tidak rela menyerahkan sisa uangmu itu kepadaku? Lagi pula engkau telah menyebut-nyebut seorang raja durhaka yangmengaku diri sebagai tuhan, padahal raja itu sudah mati lebih dari 300 tahun yang silam! Apakah dengan begitu engkau hendak memperolok-olok aku?”

    Tamlikha lalu ditangkap. Kemudian dibawa pergi menghadap raja. Raja yang baru ini seorang yang dapat berfikir dan bersikap adil. Raja bertanya kepada orang-orang yang membawa Tamlikha: “Bagaimana cerita tentang orang ini?”

    “Dia menemukan harta karun,” jawab orang-orang yang membawanya.

    Kepada Tamlikha, raja berkata: “Engkau tak perlu takut! Nabi Isa a.s. memerintahkan supaya kami hanya memungut seperlima saja dari harta karun itu. Serahkanlah yang seperlima itu kepadaku, dan selanjutnya engkau akan selamat.”

    Tamlikha menjawab: “Baginda, aku sama sekali tidak menemukan harta karun! Aku adalah penduduk kota ini!”

    Raja bertanya sambil keheran-heranan: “Engkau penduduk kota ini?”

    “Ya. Benar,” sahut Tamlikha.

    “Adakah orang yang kau kenal?” tanya raja lagi.

    “Ya, ada,” jawab Tamlikha.

    “Coba sebutkan siapa namanya,” perintah raja.

    Tamlikha menyebut nama-nama kurang lebih 1000 orang, tetapi tak ada satu nama pun yang dikenal oleh raja atau oleh orang lain yang hadir mendengarkan. Mereka berkata: “Ah…, semua itu bukan nama orang-orang yang hidup di zaman kita sekarang. Tetapi, apakah engkau mempunyai rumah di kota ini?”

    “Ya, tuanku,” jawab Tamlikha. “Utuslah seorang menyertai aku!”

    Raja kemudian memerintahkan beberapa orang menyertai Tamlikha pergi. Oleh Tamlikha mereka diajak menuju ke sebuah rumah yang paling tinggi di kota itu. Setibanya di sana, Tamlikha berkata kepada orang yang mengantarkan: “Inilah rumahku!”

    Pintu rumah itu lalu diketuk. Keluarlah seorang lelaki yang sudah sangat lanjut usia. Sepasang alis di bawah keningnya sudah sedemikian putih dan mengkerut hampir menutupi mata karena sudah terlampau tua. Ia terperanjat ketakutan, lalu bertanya kepada orang-orang yang datang: “Kalian ada perlu apa?”

    Utusan raja yang menyertai Tamlikha menyahut: “Orang muda ini mengaku rumah ini adalah rumahnya!”

    Orang tua itu marah, memandang kepada Tamlikha. Sambil mengamat-amati ia bertanya: “Siapa namamu?”

    “Aku Tamlikha anak Filistin!”

    Orang tua itu lalu berkata: “Coba ulangi lagi!”

    Tamlikha menyebut lagi namanya. Tiba-tiba orang tua itu bertekuk lutut di depan kaki Tamlikha sambil berucap: “Ini adalah datukku! Demi Allah, ia salah seorang di antara orang-orang yang melarikan diri dari Diqyanius, raja durhaka.” Kemudian diteruskannya dengan suara haru: “Ia lari berlindung kepada Yang Maha Perkasa, Pencipta langit dan bumi. Nabi kita, Isa as., dahulu telah memberitahukan kisah mereka kepada kita dan mengatakan bahwa mereka itu akan hidup kembali!”

    Peristiwa yang terjadi di rumah orang tua itu kemudian di laporkan kepada raja. Dengan menunggang kuda, raja segera datang menuju ke tempat Tamlikha yang sedang berada di rumah orang tua tadi. Setelah melihat Tamlikha, raja segera turun dari kuda. Oleh raja Tamlikha diangkat ke atas pundak, sedangkan orang banyak beramai-ramai menciumi tangan dan kaki Tamlikha sambil bertanya-tanya: “Hai Tamlikha, bagaimana keadaan teman-temanmu? “

    Kepada mereka Tamlikha memberi tahu, bahwa semua temannya masih berada di dalam gua.

    “Pada masa itu kota Aphesus diurus oleh dua orang bangsawan istana. Seorang beragama Islam dan seorang lainnya lagi beragama Nasrani. Dua orang bangsawan itu bersama pengikutnya masing-masing pergi membawa Tamlikha menuju ke gua,” demikian Imam Ali melanjutkan ceritanya.

    Teman-teman Tamlikha semuanya masih berada di dalam gua itu. Setibanya dekat gua, Tamlikha berkata kepada dua orang bangsawan dan para pengikut mereka: “Aku khawatir kalau sampai teman-temanku mendengar suara tapak kuda, atau gemerincingnya senjata. Mereka pasti menduga Diqyanius datang dan mereka bakal mati semua. Oleh karena itu kalian berhenti saja di sini. Biarlah aku sendiri yang akan menemui dan memberitahu mereka!”

    Semua berhenti menunggu dan Tamlikha masuk seorang diri ke dalam gua. Melihat Tamlikha datang, teman-temannya berdiri kegirangan, dan Tamlikha dipeluknya kuat-kuat. Kepada Tamlikha mereka berkata: “Puji dan syukur bagi Allah yang telah menyelamatkan dirimu dari Diqyanius!”

    Tamlikha menukas: “Ada urusan apa dengan Diqyanius? Tahukah kalian, sudah berapa lamakah kalian tinggal di sini?”

    “Kami tinggal sehari atau beberapa hari saja,” jawab mereka.

    “Tidak!” sangkal Tamlikha. “Kalian sudah tinggal di sini selama 309 tahun! Diqyanius sudah lama meninggal dunia! Generasi demi generasi sudah lewat silih berganti, dan penduduk kota itu sudah beriman kepada Allah yang Maha Agung! Mereka sekarang datang untuk bertemu dengan kalian!”

    Teman-teman Tamlikha menyahut: “Hai Tamlikha, apakah engkau hendak menjadikan kami ini orang-orang yang menggemparkan seluruh jagad?”

    “Lantas apa yang kalian inginkan?” Tamlikha balik bertanya.

    “Angkatlah tanganmu ke atas dan kami pun akan berbuat seperti itu juga,” jawab merekaMereka bertujuh semua mengangkat tangan ke atas, kemudian berdoa: “Ya Allah, dengan kebenaran yang telah Kau perlihatkan kepada kami tentang keanehan-keanehan yang kami alami sekarang ini, cabutlah kembali nyawa kami tanpa sepengetahuan orang lain!”

    Allah s.w.t. mengabulkan permohonan mereka. Lalu memerintahkan Malaikat maut mencabut kembali nyawa mereka. Kemudian Allah s.w.t. melenyapkan pintu gua tanpa bekas. Dua orang bangsawan yang menunggu-nunggu segera maju mendekati gua, berputar-putar selama tujuh hari untuk mencari-cari pintunya, tetapi tanpa hasil. Tak dapat ditemukan lubang atau jalan masuk lainnya ke dalam gua. Pada saat itu dua orang bangsawan tadi menjadi yakin tentang betapa hebatnya kekuasaan Allah s.w.t. Dua orang bangsawan itu memandang semua peristiwa yang dialami oleh para penghuni gua, sebagai peringatan yang diperlihatkan Allah kepada mereka.

    Bangsawan yang beragama Islam lalu berkata: “Mereka mati dalam keadaan memeluk agamaku! Akan ku dirikan sebuah tempat ibadah di pintu gua itu.”

    Sedang bangsawan yang beragama Nasrani berkata pula: “Mereka mati dalam keadaan memeluk agamaku! Akan ku dirikan sebuah biara di pintu gua itu.”

    Dua orang bangsawan itu bertengkar, dan setelah melalui pertikaian senjata, akhirnya bangsawan Nasrani terkalahkan oleh bangsawan yang beragama Islam. Dengan terjadinya peristiwa tersebut, maka Allah berfirman:

    Dan begitulah Kami menyerempakkan mereka, supaya mereka mengetahui bahawa janji Allah adalah benar, dan bahawa Saat itu tidak ada keraguan padanya. Apabila mereka berbalahan antara mereka dalam urusan mereka, maka mereka berkata, “Binalah di atas mereka satu bangunan; Pemelihara mereka sangat mengetahui mengenai mereka.” Berkata orang-orang yang menguasai atas urusan mereka, “Kami akan membina di atas mereka sebuah masjid.”

    Sampai di situ Imam Ali bin Abi Thalib berhenti menceritakan kisah para penghuni gua. Kemudian berkata kepada pendeta Yahudi yang menanyakan kisah itu: “Itulah, hai Yahudi, apa yang telah terjadi dalam kisah mereka. Demi Allah, sekarang aku hendak bertanya kepadamu, apakah semua yang ku ceritakan itu sesuai dengan apa yang tercantum dalam Taurat kalian?”

    Pendeta Yahudi itu menjawab: “Ya Abal Hasan, engkau tidak menambah dan tidak mengurangi, walau satu huruf pun! Sekarang engkau jangan menyebut diriku sebagai orang Yahudi, sebab aku telah bersaksi bahwa tiada tuhan selain Allah dan bahwa Muhammad adalah hamba Allah serta Rasul-Nya. Aku pun bersaksi juga, bahwa engkau orang yang paling berilmu di kalangan ummat ini!”

    Demikianlah hikayat tentang para penghuni gua (Ashhabul Kahfi), kutipan dari kitab Qishasul Anbiya yang tercantum dalam kitab Fadha ‘ilul Khamsah Minas Shihahis Sittah, tulisan As Sayyid Murtadha Al Huseiniy Al Faruz Aabaad, dalam menunjukkan banyaknya ilmu pengetahuan yang diperoleh Imam Ali bin Abi Thalib dari Rasul Allah s.a.w.





    *اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ سَيّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ*


    , *Kisah Ashabul Kahfi – Bukti Ketinggian Ilmu Imam Ali Bin Abithalib R.A* ashabul-kahfi-15 Dalam surat al-Kahfi, Allah SWT menceritakan tiga kisah masa lalu, yaitu kisah Ashabul Kahfi, kisah pertemuan nabi Musa as dan nabi Khidzir as serta kisah Dzulqarnain. Kisah Ashabul Kahfi mendapat perhatian lebih dengan digunakan sebagai nama surat dimana terdapat tiga kisah tersebut. Hal ini tentu bukan kebetulan semata, tapi karena kisah Ashabul Kahfi, seperti juga kisah dalam al-Quran lainnya, bukan merupakan kisah semata, tapi juga terdapat banyak pelajaran (ibrah) didalamnya. Ashabul Kahfi adalah nama sekelompok orang beriman yang hidup pada masa Raja Diqyanus di Romawi, beberapa ratus tahun sebelum diutusnya nabi Isa as. Mereka hidup ditengah masyarakat penyembah berhala dengan seorang raja yang dzalim. Ketika sang raja mengetahui ada sekelompok orang yang tidak menyembah berhala, maka sang raja marah lalu memanggil mereka dan memerintahkan mereka untuk mengikuti kepercayaan sang raja. Tapi Ashabul Kahfi menolak dan lari, dikejarlah mereka untuk dibunuh. Ketika mereka lari dari kejaran pasukan raja, sampailah mereka di mulut sebuah gua yang kemudian dipakai tempat persembunyian. Dengan izin Allah mereka kemudian ditidurkan selama 309 tahun di dalam gua, dan dibangkitkan kembali ketika masyarakat dan raja mereka sudah berganti menjadi masyarakat dan raja yang beriman kepada Allah SWT (Ibnu Katsir; Tafsir al-Quran al-‘Adzim; jilid:3 ; hal.67-71). Berikut adalah kisah Ashabul Kahfi (Penghuni Gua) yang ditafsir secara jelas jalan ceritanya… .. Penulis kitab Fadha’ilul Khamsah Minas Shihahis Sittah (jilid II, halaman 291-300), mengetengahkan suatu riwayat yang dikutip dari kitab Qishashul Anbiya. Riwayat tersebut berkaitan dengan tafsir ayat 10 Surah Al-Kahfi: “(Ingatlah) tatkala pemuda-pemuda itu mencari tempat berlindung ke dalam gua lalu mereka berdo’a: “Wahai Tuhan kami berikanlah rahmat kepada kami dari sisi-Mu dan sempurnakanlah bagi kami petunjuk yang lurus dalam urusan kami (ini)” (QS al-Kahfi:10) Dengan panjang lebar kitab Qishashul Anbiya mulai dari halaman 566 meriwayatkan sebagai berikut: Di kala Umar Ibnul Khattab memangku jabatan sebagai Amirul Mukminin, pernah datang kepadanya beberapa orang pendeta Yahudi. Mereka berkata kepada Khalifah: “Hai Khalifah Umar, anda adalah pemegang kekuasaan sesudah Muhammad dan sahabatnya, Abu Bakar. Kami hendak menanyakan beberapa masalah penting kepada anda. Jika anda dapat memberi jawaban kepada kami, barulah kami mau mengerti bahwa Islam merupakan agama yang benar dan Muhammad benar-benar seorang Nabi. Sebaliknya, jika anda tidak dapat memberi jawaban, berarti bahwa agama Islam itu bathil dan Muhammad bukan seorang Nabi.” “Silahkan bertanya tentang apa saja yang kalian inginkan,” sahut Khalifah Umar.ashabul-kahfi-132 “Jelaskan kepada kami tentang induk kunci (gembok) mengancing langit, apakah itu?” Tanya pendeta-pendeta itu, memulai pertanyaan-pertanya annya. “Terangkan kepada kami tentang adanya sebuah kuburan yang berjalan bersama penghuninya, apakah itu? Tunjukkan kepada kami tentang suatu makhluk yang dapat memberi peringatan kepada bangsanya, tetapi ia bukan manusia dan bukan jin! Terangkan kepada kami tentang lima jenis makhluk yang dapat berjalan di permukaan bumi, tetapi makhluk-makhluk itu tidak dilahirkan dari kandungan ibu atau atau induknya! Beritahukan kepada kami apa yang dikatakan oleh burung puyuh (gemak) di saat ia sedang berkicau! Apakah yang dikatakan oleh ayam jantan di kala ia sedang berkokok! Apakah yang dikatakan oleh kuda di saat ia sedang meringkik? Apakah yang dikatakan oleh katak di waktu ia sedang bersuara? Apakah yang dikatakan oleh keledai di saat ia sedang meringkik? Apakah yang dikatakan oleh burung pipit pada waktu ia sedang berkicau?” Khalifah Umar menundukkan kepala untuk berfikir sejenak, kemudian berkata: “Bagi Umar, jika ia menjawab ‘tidak tahu’ atas pertanyaan-pertanya an yang memang tidak diketahui jawabannya, itu bukan suatu hal yang memalukan!” Mendengar jawaban Khalifah Umar seperti itu, pendeta-pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya berdiri melonjak-lonjak kegirangan, sambil berkata: “Sekarang kami bersaksi bahwa Muhammad memang bukan seorang Nabi, dan agama Islam itu adalah bathil!” Salman Al-Farisi yang saat itu hadir, segera bangkit dan berkata kepada pendeta-pendeta Yahudi itu: “Kalian tunggu sebentar!” Ia cepat-cepat pergi ke rumah Ali bin Abi Thalib. Setelah bertemu, Salman berkata: “Ya Abal Hasan, selamatkanlahagama Islam!” Imam Ali r.a. bingung, lalu bertanya: “Mengapa?” Salman kemudian menceritakan apa yang sedang dihadapi oleh Khalifah Umar Ibnul Khattab. Imam Ali segera saja berangkat menuju ke rumah Khalifah Umar, berjalan lenggang memakai burdah (selembar kain penutup punggung atau leher) peninggalan Rasul Allah s.a.w. Ketika Umar melihat Ali bin Abi Thalib datang, ia bangun dari tempat duduk lalu buru-buru memeluknya, sambil berkata: “Ya Abal Hasan, tiap ada kesulitan besar, engkau selalu kupanggil!” Setelah berhadap-hadapan dengan para pendeta yang sedang menunggu-nunggu jawaban itu, Ali bin Abi Thalib herkata: “Silakan kalian bertanya tentang apa saja yang kalian inginkan. Rasul Allah s.a.w. sudah mengajarku seribu macam ilmu, dan tiap jenis dari ilmu-ilmu itu mempunyai seribu macam cabang ilmu!” Pendeta-pendeta Yahudi itu lalu mengulangi pertanyaan-pertanya an mereka. Sebelum menjawab, Ali bin Abi Thalib berkata: “Aku ingin mengajukan suatu syarat kepada kalian, yaitu jika ternyata aku nanti sudah menjawab pertanyaan-pertanya an kalian sesuai dengan yang ada di dalam Taurat, kalian supaya bersedia memeluk agama kami dan beriman!” “Ya baik!” jawab mereka.ashabul-kahfi-14 “Sekarang tanyakanlah satu demi satu,” kata Ali bin Abi Thalib. Mereka mulai bertanya: “Apakah induk kunci (gembok) yang mengancing pintu-pintu langit?” “Induk kunci itu,” jawab Ali bin Abi Thalib, “ialah syirik kepada Allah. Sebab semua hamba Allah, baik pria maupun wanita, jika ia bersyirik kepada Allah, amalnya tidak akan dapat naik sampai ke hadhirat Allah!” Para pendeta Yahudi bertanya lagi: “Anak kunci apakah yang dapat membuka pintu-pintu langit?” Ali bin Abi Thalib menjawab: “Anak kunci itu ialah kesaksian (syahadat) bahwa tiada tuhan selain Allah dan Muhammad adalah Rasul Allah!” Para pendeta Yahudi itu saling pandang di antara mereka, sambil berkata: “Orang itu benar juga!” Mereka bertanyalebih lanjut: “Terangkanlah kepada kami tentang adanya sebuah kuburan yang dapat berjalan bersama penghuninya! “ “Kuburan itu ialah ikan hiu (hut) yang menelan Nabi Yunus putera Matta,” jawab Ali bin Abi Thalib. “Nabi Yunus as. dibawa keliling ketujuh samudera!” Pendeta-pendeta itu meneruskan pertanyaannya lagi: “Jelaskan kepada kami tentang makhluk yang dapat memberi peringatan kepada bangsanya, tetapi makhluk itu bukan manusia dan bukan jin!” Ali bin Abi Thalib menjawab: “Makhluk itu ialah semut Nabi Sulaiman putera Nabi Dawud alaihimas salam. Semut itu berkata kepada kaumnya: “Hai para semut, masuklah ke dalam tempat kediaman kalian, agar tidak diinjak-injak oleh Sulaiman dan pasukan-nya dalam keadaan mereka tidak sadar!” Para pendeta Yahudi itu meneruskan pertanyaannya: “Beritahukan kepada kami tentang lima jenis makhluk yang berjalan di atas permukaan bumi, tetapi tidak satu pun di antara makhluk-makhluk itu yang dilahirkan dari kandungan ibunya atau induknya!” Ali bin Abi Thalib menjawab: “Lima makhluk itu ialah, pertama, Adam. Kedua, Hawa. Ketiga, Unta Nabi Shaleh. Keempat, Domba Nabi Ibrahim. Kelima, Tongkat Nabi Musa (yang menjelma menjadi seekor ular).” Dua di antara tiga orang pendeta Yahudi itu setelah mendengar jawaban-jawaban serta penjelasan yang diberikan oleh Imam Ali r.a. lalu mengatakan: “Kami bersaksi bahwa tiada tuhan selain Allah dan Muhammad adalah Rasul Allah!” Tetapi seorang pendeta lainnya, bangun berdiri sambil berkata kepada Ali bin Abi Thalib: “Hai Ali, hati teman-temanku sudah dihinggapi oleh sesuatu yang sama seperti iman dan keyakinan mengenai benarnya agama Islam. Sekarang masih ada satu hal lagi yang ingin kutanyakan kepada anda.” “Tanyakanlah apa saja yang kau inginkan,” sahut Imam Ali. “Coba terangkan kepadaku tentang sejumlah orang yang pada zaman dahulu sudah mati selama 309 tahun, kemudian dihidupkan kembali oleh Allah. Bagaimana hikayat tentang mereka itu?” Tanya pendeta tadi. Ali bin Ali Thalib menjawab: “Hai pendeta Yahudi, mereka itu ialah para penghuni gua. Hikayat tentang mereka itu sudah dikisahkan oleh Allah s.w.t. kepada Rasul-Nya. Jika engkau mau, akan kubacakan kisah mereka itu.” Pendeta Yahudi itu menyahut: “Aku sudah banyak mendengar tentang Qur’an kalian itu! Jika engkau memang benar-benar tahu, coba sebutkan nama-nama mereka, nama ayah-ayah mereka, nama kota mereka, nama raja mereka, nama anjing mereka, nama gunung serta gua mereka, dan semua kisah mereka dari awal sampai akhir!” Ali bin Abi Thalib kemudian membetulkan duduknya, menekuk lutut ke depan perut, lalu ditopangnya dengan burdah yang diikatkan ke pinggang. Lalu ia berkata: “Hai saudara Yahudi, Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. kekasihku telah menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa kisah itu terjadi di negeri Romawi, di sebuah kota bernama Aphesus, atau disebut juga dengan nama Tharsus. Tetapi nama kota itu pada zaman dahulu ialah Aphesus (Ephese). Baru setelah Islam datang, kota itu berubah nama menjadi Tharsus (Tarse, sekarang terletak di dalam wilayah Turki). Penduduk negeri itu dahulunya mempunyai seorang raja yang baik. Setelah raja itu meninggal dunia, berita kematiannya didengar oleh seorang raja Persia bernama Diqyanius. Ia seorang raja kafir yang amat congkak dan dzalim. Ia datang menyerbu negeri itu dengan kekuatan pasukannya, dan akhirnya berhasil menguasai kota Aphesus. Olehnya kota itu dijadikan ibukota kerajaan, lalu dibangunlah sebuah Istana.”ashabul-kahfi-10 Baru sampai di situ, pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya itu berdiri, terus bertanya: “Jika engkau benar-benar tahu, coba terangkan kepadaku bentuk Istana itu, bagaimana serambi dan ruangan-ruangannya! “ Ali bin Abi Thalib menerangkan: “Hai saudara Yahudi, raja itu membangun istana yang sangat megah, terbuat dari batu marmar. Panjangnya satu farsakh (= kl 8 km) dan lebarnya pun satu farsakh. Pilar-pilarnya yang berjumlah seribu buah, semuanya terbuat dari emas, dan lampu-lampu yang berjumlah seribu buah, juga semuanya terbuat dari emas. Lampu-lampu itu bergelantungan pada rantai-rantai yang terbuat dari perak. Tiap malam apinya dinyalakan dengan sejenis minyak yang harum baunya. Di sebelah timur serambi dibuat lubang-lubang cahaya sebanyak seratus buah, demikian pula di sebelah baratnya. Sehingga matahari sejak mulai terbit sampai terbenam selalu dapat menerangi serambi. Raja itu pun membuat sebuah singgasana dari emas. Panjangnya 80 hasta dan lebarnya 40 hasta. Di sebelah kanannya tersedia 80 buah kursi, semuanya terbuat dari emas. Di situlah para hulubalang kerajaan duduk. Di sebelah kirinya juga disediakan 80 buah kursi terbuat dari emas, untuk duduk para pepatih dan penguasa-penguasa tinggi lainnya. Raja duduk di atas singgasana dengan mengenakan mahkota di atas kepala.” Sampai di situ pendeta yang bersangkutan berdiri lagi sambil berkata: “Jika engkau benar-benar tahu, coba terangkan kepadaku dari apakah mahkota itu dibuat?” “Hai saudara Yahudi,” kata Imam Ali menerangkan, “mahkota raja itu terbuat dari kepingan-kepingan emas, berkaki 9 buah, dan tiap kakinya bertaburan mutiara yang memantulkan cahaya laksana bintang-bintang menerangi kegelapan malam. Raja itu juga mempunyai 50 orang pelayan, terdiri dari anak-anak para hulubalang. Semuanya memakai selempang dan baju sutera berwarna merah. Celana mereka juga terbuat dari sutera berwarna hijau. Semuanya dihias dengan gelang-gelang kaki yang sangat indah. Masing-masing diberi tongkat terbuat dari emas. Mereka harus berdiri di belakang raja. Selain mereka, raja juga mengangkat 6 orang, terdiri dari anak-anak para cendekiawan, untuk dijadikan menteri-menteri atau pembantu-pembantuny a. Raja tidak mengambil suatu keputusan apa pun tanpa berunding lebih dulu dengan mereka. Enam orang pembantu itu selalu berada di kanan kiri raja, tiga orang berdiri di sebelah kanan dan yang tiga orang lainnya berdiri di sebelah kiri.” Pendeta yang bertanya itu berdiri lagi. Lalu berkata: “Hai Ali, jika yang kau katakan itu benar, coba sebutkan nama enam orang yang menjadi pembantu-pembantu raja itu!” Menanggapi hal itu, Imam Ali r.a. menjawab: “Kekasihku Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa tiga orang yang berdiri di sebelah kanan raja, masing-masing bernama Tamlikha, Miksalmina, dan Mikhaslimina. Adapun tiga orang pembantu yang berdiri di sebelah kiri, masing-masing bernama Martelius, Casitius dan Sidemius. Raja selalu berunding dengan mereka mengenai segala urusan. Tiap hari setelah raja duduk dalam serambi istana dikerumuni oleh semua hulubalang dan para punggawa, masuklah tiga orang pelayan menghadap raja. Seorang diantaranya membawa piala emas penuh berisi wewangian murni. Seorang lagi membawa piala perak penuh berisi air sari bunga. Sedang yang seorangnya lagi membawa seekor burung. Orang yang membawa burung ini kemudian mengeluarkan suara isyarat, lalu burung itu terbang di atas piala yang berisi air sari bunga. Burung itu berkecimpung di dalamnya dan setelah itu ia mengibas-ngibaskan sayap serta bulunya, sampai sari-bunga itu habis dipercikkan ke semua tempat sekitarnya. Kemudian si pembawa burung tadi mengeluarkan suara isyarat lagi. Burung itu terbang pula. Lalu hinggap di atas piala yang berisi wewangian murni. Sambil berkecimpung di dalamnya, burung itu mengibas-ngibaskan sayap dan bulunya, sampai wewangian murni yang ada dalam piala itu habis dipercikkan ke tempat sekitarnya. Pembawa burung itu memberi isyarat suara lagi. Burung itu lalu terbang dan hinggap di atas mahkota raja, sambil membentangkan kedua sayap yang harum semerbak di atas kepala raja. Demikianlah raja itu berada di atas singgasana kekuasaan selama tiga puluh tahun. Selama itu ia tidak pernah diserang penyakit apa pun, tidak pernah merasa pusing kepala, sakit perut, demam, berliur, berludah atau pun beringus. Setelah sang raja merasa diri sedemikian kuat dan sehat, ia mulai congkak, durhaka dan dzalim. Ia mengaku-aku diri sebagai “tuhan” dan tidak mau lagi mengakui adanya Allah s.w.t.ashabul-kahfi-11 Raja itu kemudian memanggil orang-orang terkemuka dari rakyatnya. Barang siapa yang taat dan patuh kepadanya,diberi pakaian dan berbagai macam hadiah lainnya. Tetapi barang siapa yang tidak mau taat atau tidak bersedia mengikuti kemauannya, ia akan segera dibunuh. Oleh sebab itu semua orang terpaksa mengiakan kemauannya. Dalam masa yang cukup lama, semua orang patuh kepada raja itu, sampai ia disembah dan dipuja. Mereka tidak lagi memuja dan menyembah Allah s.w.t. Pada suatu hari perayaan ulang-tahunnya, raja sedang duduk di atas singgasana mengenakan mahkota di atas kepala, tiba-tiba masuklah seorang hulubalang memberi tahu, bahwa ada balatentara asing masuk menyerbu ke dalam wilayah kerajaannya, dengan maksud hendak melancarkan peperangan terhadap raja. Demikian sedih dan bingungnya raja itu, sampai tanpa disadari mahkota yang sedang dipakainya jatuh dari kepala. Kemudian raja itu sendiri jatuh terpelanting dari atas singgasana. Salah seorang pembantu yang berdiri di sebelah kanan –seorang cerdas yang bernama Tamlikha– memperhatikan keadaan sang raja dengan sepenuh fikiran. Ia berfikir, lalu berkata di dalam hati: “Kalau Diqyanius itu benar-benar tuhan sebagaimana menurut pengakuannya, tentu ia tidak akan sedih, tidak tidur, tidak buang air kecil atau pun air besar. Itu semua bukanlah sifat-sifat Tuhan.” Enam orang pembantu raja itu tiap hari selalu mengadakan pertemuan di tempat salah seorang dari mereka secara bergiliran. Pada satu hari tibalah giliran Tamlikha menerima kunjungan lima orang temannya. Mereka berkumpul di rumah Tamlikha untuk makan dan minum, tetapi Tamlikha sendiri tidak ikut makan dan minum. Teman-temannya bertanya: “Hai Tamlikha, mengapa engkau tidak mau makan dan tidak mau minum?” “Teman-teman, ” sahut Tamlikha, “hatiku sedang dirisaukan oleh sesuatu yang membuatku tidak ingin makan dan tidak ingin minum, juga tidak ingin tidur.” Teman-temannya mengejar: “Apakah yang merisaukan hatimu, hai Tamlikha?” “Sudah lama aku memikirkan soal langit,” ujar Tamlikha menjelaskan. “Aku lalu bertanya pada diriku sendiri: ‘siapakah yang mengangkatnya ke atas sebagai atap yang senantiasa aman dan terpelihara, tanpa gantungan dari atas dan tanpa tiang yang menopangnya dari bawah? Siapakah yang menjalankan matahari dan bulan di langit itu? Siapakah yang menghias langit itu dengan bintang-bintang bertaburan?’ Kemudian kupikirkan juga bumi ini: ‘Siapakah yang membentang dan menghamparkan- nya di cakrawala? Siapakah yang menahannya dengan gunung-gunung raksasa agar tidak goyah, tidak goncang dan tidak miring?’ Aku juga lama sekali memikirkan diriku sendiri: ‘Siapakah yang mengeluarkan aku sebagai bayi dari perut ibuku? Siapakah yang memelihara hidupku dan memberi makan kepadaku? Semuanya itu pasti ada yang membuat, dan sudah tentu bukan Diqyanius’…” Teman-teman Tamlikha lalu bertekuk lutut di hadapannya. Dua kaki Tamlikha diciumi sambil berkata: “Hai Tamlikha dalam hati kami sekarang terasa sesuatu seperti yang ada di dalam hatimu. Oleh karena itu, baiklah engkau tunjukkan jalan keluar bagi kita semua!” “Saudara-saudara, ” jawab Tamlikha, “baik aku maupun kalian tidak menemukan akal selain harus lari meninggalkan raja yang dzalim itu, pergi kepada Raja pencipta langit dan bumi!” “Kami setuju dengan pendapatmu,” sahut teman-temannya. Tamlikha lalu berdiri, terus beranjak pergi untuk menjual buah kurma, dan akhirnya berhasil mendapat uang sebanyak 3 dirham. Uang itu kemudian diselipkan dalam kantong baju. Lalu berangkat berkendaraan kuda bersama-sama dengan lima orang temannya. Setelah berjalan 3 mil jauhnya dari kota, Tamlikha berkata kepada teman-temannya: “Saudara-saudara, kita sekarang sudah terlepas dari raja dunia dan dari kekuasaannya. Sekarang turunlah kalian dari kuda dan marilah kita berjalan kaki. Mudah-mudahan Allah akan memudahkan urusan kita serta memberikan jalan keluar.” Mereka turun dari kudanya masing-masing. Lalu berjalan kaki sejauh 7 farsakh, sampai kaki mereka bengkak berdarah karena tidak biasa berjalan kaki sejauh itu.ashabul-kahfi-12 Tiba-tiba datanglah seorang penggembala menyambut mereka. Kepada penggembala itu mereka bertanya: “Hai penggembala, apakah engkau mempunyai air minum atau susu?” “Aku mempunyai semua yang kalian inginkan,” sahut penggembala itu. “Tetapi kulihat wajah kalian semuanya seperti kaum bangsawan. Aku menduga kalian itu pasti melarikan diri. Coba beritahukan kepadaku bagaimana cerita perjalanan kalian itu!” “Ah…, susahnya orang ini,” jawab mereka. “Kami sudah memeluk suatu agama, kami tidak boleh berdusta. Apakah kami akan selamat jika kami mengatakan yang sebenarnya?” “Ya,” jawab penggembala itu. Tamlikha dan teman-temannya lalu menceritakan semua yang terjadi pada diri mereka. Mendengar cerita mereka, penggembala itu segera bertekuk lutut di depan mereka, dan sambil menciumi kaki mereka, ia berkata: “Dalam hatiku sekarang terasa sesuatu seperti yang ada dalam hati kalian. Kalian berhenti sajalah dahulu di sini. Aku hendak mengembalikan kambing-kambing itu kepada pemiliknya. Nanti aku akan segera kembali lagi kepada kalian.” Tamlikha bersama teman-temannya berhenti. Penggembala itu segera pergi untuk mengembalikan kambing-kambing gembalaannya. Tak lama kemudian ia datang lagi berjalan kaki, diikuti oleh seekor anjing miliknya.” Waktu cerita Imam Ali sampai di situ, pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya melonjak berdiri lagi sambil berkata: “Hai Ali, jika engkau benar-benar tahu, coba sebutkan apakah warna anjing itu dan siapakah namanya?” “Hai saudara Yahudi,” kata Ali bin Abi Thalib memberitahukan, “kekasihku Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa anjing itu berwarna kehitam-hitaman dan bernama Qithmir. Ketika enam orang pelarian itu melihat seekor anjing, masing-masing saling berkata kepada temannya: kita khawatir kalau-kalau anjing itu nantinya akan membongkar rahasia kita! Mereka minta kepada penggembala supaya anjing itu dihalau saja dengan batu. Anjing itu melihat kepada Tamlikha dan teman-temannya, lalu duduk di atas dua kaki belakang, menggeliat, dan mengucapkan kata-kata dengan lancar dan jelas sekali: “Hai orang-orang, mengapa kalian hendak mengusirku, padahal aku ini bersaksi tiada tuhan selain Allah, tak ada sekutu apa pun bagi-Nya. Biarlah aku menjaga kalian dari musuh, dan dengan berbuat demikian aku mendekatkan diriku kepada Allah s.w.t.” Anjing itu akhirnya dibiarkan saja. Mereka lalu pergi. Penggembala tadi mengajak mereka naik ke sebuah bukit. Lalu bersama mereka mendekati sebuah gua.” Pendeta Yahudi yang menanyakan kisah itu, bangun lagi dari tempat duduknya sambil berkata: “Apakah nama gunung itu dan apakah nama gua itu?!” Imam Ali menjelaskan: “Gunung itu bernama Naglus dan nama gua itu ialah Washid, atau di sebut juga dengan nama Kheram!” Ali bin Abi Thalib meneruskan ceritanya: secara tiba-tiba di depan gua itu tumbuh pepohonan berbuah dan memancur mata-air deras sekali. Mereka makan buah-buahan dan minum air yang tersedia di tempat itu. Setelah tiba waktu malam, mereka masuk berlindung di dalam gua. Sedang anjing yang sejak tadi mengikuti mereka, berjaga-jaga ndeprok sambil menjulurkan dua kaki depan untuk menghalang-halangi pintu gua. Kemudian Allah s.w.t. memerintahkan Malaikat maut supaya mencabut nyawa mereka. Kepada masing-masing orang dari mereka Allah s.w.t. mewakilkan dua Malaikat untuk membalik-balik tubuh mereka dari kanan ke kiri. Allah lalu memerintahkan matahari supaya pada saat terbit condong memancarkan sinarnya ke dalam gua dari arah kanan, dan pada saat hampir terbenam supaya sinarnya mulai meninggalkan mereka dari arah kiri. Suatu ketika waktu raja Diqyanius baru saja selesai berpesta ia bertanya tentang enam orang pembantunya. Ia mendapat jawaban, bahwa mereka itu melarikan diri. Raja Diqyanius sangat gusar. Bersama 80.000 pasukan berkuda ia cepat-cepat berangkat menyelusuri jejak enam orang pembantu yang melarikan diri. Ia naik ke atas bukit, kemudian mendekati gua. Ia melihat enam orang pembantunya yang melarikan diri itu sedang tidur berbaring di dalam gua. Ia tidak ragu-ragu dan memastikan bahwa enam orang itu benar-benar sedang tidur. Kepada para pengikutnya ia berkata: “Kalau aku hendak menghukum mereka, tidak akan kujatuhkan hukuman yang lebih berat dari perbuatan mereka yang telah menyiksa diri mereka sendiri di dalam gua. Panggillah tukang-tukang batu supaya mereka segera datang ke mari!” Setelah tukang-tukang batu itu tiba, mereka diperintahkan menutup rapat pintu gua dengan batu-batu dan jish (bahan semacam semen). Selesai dikerjakan, raja berkata kepada para pengikutnya: “Katakanlah kepada mereka yang ada di dalam gua, kalau benar-benar mereka itu tidak berdusta supaya minta tolong kepada Tuhan mereka yang ada di langit, agar mereka dikeluarkan dari tempat itu.” Dalam goa tertutup rapat itu, mereka tinggal selama 309 tahun. Setelah masa yang amat panjang itu lampau, Allah s.w.t. mengembalikan lagi nyawa mereka. Pada saat matahari sudah mulai memancarkan sinar, mereka merasa seakan-akan baru bangun dari tidurnya masing-masing. Yang seorang berkata kepada yang lainnya: “Malam tadi kami lupa beribadah kepada Allah, mari kita pergi ke mata air!” Setelah mereka berada di luar gua, tiba-tiba mereka lihat mata air itu sudah mengering kembali dan pepohonan yang ada pun sudah menjadi kering semuanya. Allah s.w.t. membuat mereka mulai merasa lapar. Mereka saling bertanya: “Siapakah di antara kita ini yang sanggup dan bersedia berangkat ke kota membawa uang untuk bisa mendapatkan makanan? Tetapi yang akan pergi ke kota nanti supaya hati-hati benar, jangan sampai membeli makanan yang dimasak dengan lemak-babi.” Tamlikha kemudian berkata: “Hai saudara-saudara, aku sajalah yang berangkat untuk mendapatkan makanan. Tetapi, hai penggembala, berikanlah bajumu kepadaku dan ambillah bajuku ini!” Setelah Tamlikha memakai baju penggembala, ia berangkat menuju ke kota. Sepanjang jalan ia melewati tempat-tempat yang sama sekali belum pernah dikenalnya, melalui jalan-jalan yang belum pernah diketahui. Setibanya dekat pintu gerbang kota, ia melihat bendera hijau berkibar di angkasa bertuliskan: “Tiada Tuhan selain Allah dan Isa adalah Roh Allah.” Tamlikha berhenti sejenak memandang bendera itu sambil mengusap-usap mata, lalu berkata seorang diri: “Kusangka aku ini masih tidur!” Setelah agak lama memandang dan mengamat-amati bendera, ia meneruskan perjalanan memasuki kota. Dilihatnya banyak orang sedang membaca Injil. Ia berpapasan dengan orang-orang yang belum pernah dikenal. Setibanya di sebuah pasar ia bertanya kepada seorang penjaja roti: “Hai tukang roti, apakah nama kota kalian ini?” “Aphesus,” sahut penjual roti itu. “Siapakah nama raja kalian?” tanya Tamlikha lagi. “Abdurrahman, ” jawab penjual roti. “Kalau yang kau katakan itu benar,” kata Tamlikha, “urusanku ini sungguh aneh sekali! Ambillah uang ini dan berilah makanan kepadaku!” Melihat uang itu, penjual roti keheran-heranan. Karena uang yang dibawa Tamlikha itu uang zaman lampau, yang ukurannya lebih besar dan lebih berat. Pendeta Yahudi yang bertanya itu kemudian berdiri lagi, lalu berkata kepada Ali bin Abi Thalib: “Hai Ali, kalau benar-benar engkau mengetahui, coba terangkan kepadaku berapa nilai uang lama itu dibanding dengan uang baru!” Imam Ali menerangkan: “Kekasihku Muhammad Rasul Allah s.a.w. menceritakan kepadaku, bahwa uang yang dibawa oleh Tamlikha dibanding dengan uang baru, ialah tiap dirham lama sama dengan sepuluh dan dua pertiga dirham baru!”ashabul-kahfi-16 Imam Ali kemudian melanjutkan ceritanya: Penjual Roti lalu berkata kepada Tamlikha: “Aduhai, alangkah beruntungnya aku! Rupanya engkau baru menemukan harta karun! Berikan sisa uang itu kepadaku! Kalau tidak, engkau akan ku hadapkan kepada raja!” “Aku tidak menemukan harta karun,” sangkal Tamlikha. “Uang ini ku dapat tiga hari yang lalu dari hasil penjualan buah kurma seharga tiga dirham! Aku kemudian meninggalkan kota karena orang-orang semuanya menyembah Diqyanius!” Penjual roti itu marah. Lalu berkata: “Apakah setelah engkau menemukan harta karun masih juga tidak rela menyerahkan sisa uangmu itu kepadaku? Lagi pula engkau telah menyebut-nyebut seorang raja durhaka yangmengaku diri sebagai tuhan, padahal raja itu sudah mati lebih dari 300 tahun yang silam! Apakah dengan begitu engkau hendak memperolok-olok aku?” Tamlikha lalu ditangkap. Kemudian dibawa pergi menghadap raja. Raja yang baru ini seorang yang dapat berfikir dan bersikap adil. Raja bertanya kepada orang-orang yang membawa Tamlikha: “Bagaimana cerita tentang orang ini?” “Dia menemukan harta karun,” jawab orang-orang yang membawanya. Kepada Tamlikha, raja berkata: “Engkau tak perlu takut! Nabi Isa a.s. memerintahkan supaya kami hanya memungut seperlima saja dari harta karun itu. Serahkanlah yang seperlima itu kepadaku, dan selanjutnya engkau akan selamat.” Tamlikha menjawab: “Baginda, aku sama sekali tidak menemukan harta karun! Aku adalah penduduk kota ini!” Raja bertanya sambil keheran-heranan: “Engkau penduduk kota ini?” “Ya. Benar,” sahut Tamlikha. “Adakah orang yang kau kenal?” tanya raja lagi. “Ya, ada,” jawab Tamlikha. “Coba sebutkan siapa namanya,” perintah raja. Tamlikha menyebut nama-nama kurang lebih 1000 orang, tetapi tak ada satu nama pun yang dikenal oleh raja atau oleh orang lain yang hadir mendengarkan. Mereka berkata: “Ah…, semua itu bukan nama orang-orang yang hidup di zaman kita sekarang. Tetapi, apakah engkau mempunyai rumah di kota ini?” “Ya, tuanku,” jawab Tamlikha. “Utuslah seorang menyertai aku!” Raja kemudian memerintahkan beberapa orang menyertai Tamlikha pergi. Oleh Tamlikha mereka diajak menuju ke sebuah rumah yang paling tinggi di kota itu. Setibanya di sana, Tamlikha berkata kepada orang yang mengantarkan: “Inilah rumahku!” Pintu rumah itu lalu diketuk. Keluarlah seorang lelaki yang sudah sangat lanjut usia. Sepasang alis di bawah keningnya sudah sedemikian putih dan mengkerut hampir menutupi mata karena sudah terlampau tua. Ia terperanjat ketakutan, lalu bertanya kepada orang-orang yang datang: “Kalian ada perlu apa?” Utusan raja yang menyertai Tamlikha menyahut: “Orang muda ini mengaku rumah ini adalah rumahnya!” Orang tua itu marah, memandang kepada Tamlikha. Sambil mengamat-amati ia bertanya: “Siapa namamu?” “Aku Tamlikha anak Filistin!” Orang tua itu lalu berkata: “Coba ulangi lagi!” Tamlikha menyebut lagi namanya. Tiba-tiba orang tua itu bertekuk lutut di depan kaki Tamlikha sambil berucap: “Ini adalah datukku! Demi Allah, ia salah seorang di antara orang-orang yang melarikan diri dari Diqyanius, raja durhaka.” Kemudian diteruskannya dengan suara haru: “Ia lari berlindung kepada Yang Maha Perkasa, Pencipta langit dan bumi. Nabi kita, Isa as., dahulu telah memberitahukan kisah mereka kepada kita dan mengatakan bahwa mereka itu akan hidup kembali!” Peristiwa yang terjadi di rumah orang tua itu kemudian di laporkan kepada raja. Dengan menunggang kuda, raja segera datang menuju ke tempat Tamlikha yang sedang berada di rumah orang tua tadi. Setelah melihat Tamlikha, raja segera turun dari kuda. Oleh raja Tamlikha diangkat ke atas pundak, sedangkan orang banyak beramai-ramai menciumi tangan dan kaki Tamlikha sambil bertanya-tanya: “Hai Tamlikha, bagaimana keadaan teman-temanmu? “ Kepada mereka Tamlikha memberi tahu, bahwa semua temannya masih berada di dalam gua. “Pada masa itu kota Aphesus diurus oleh dua orang bangsawan istana. Seorang beragama Islam dan seorang lainnya lagi beragama Nasrani. Dua orang bangsawan itu bersama pengikutnya masing-masing pergi membawa Tamlikha menuju ke gua,” demikian Imam Ali melanjutkan ceritanya. Teman-teman Tamlikha semuanya masih berada di dalam gua itu. Setibanya dekat gua, Tamlikha berkata kepada dua orang bangsawan dan para pengikut mereka: “Aku khawatir kalau sampai teman-temanku mendengar suara tapak kuda, atau gemerincingnya senjata. Mereka pasti menduga Diqyanius datang dan mereka bakal mati semua. Oleh karena itu kalian berhenti saja di sini. Biarlah aku sendiri yang akan menemui dan memberitahu mereka!” Semua berhenti menunggu dan Tamlikha masuk seorang diri ke dalam gua. Melihat Tamlikha datang, teman-temannya berdiri kegirangan, dan Tamlikha dipeluknya kuat-kuat. Kepada Tamlikha mereka berkata: “Puji dan syukur bagi Allah yang telah menyelamatkan dirimu dari Diqyanius!” Tamlikha menukas: “Ada urusan apa dengan Diqyanius? Tahukah kalian, sudah berapa lamakah kalian tinggal di sini?” “Kami tinggal sehari atau beberapa hari saja,” jawab mereka. “Tidak!” sangkal Tamlikha. “Kalian sudah tinggal di sini selama 309 tahun! Diqyanius sudah lama meninggal dunia! Generasi demi generasi sudah lewat silih berganti, dan penduduk kota itu sudah beriman kepada Allah yang Maha Agung! Mereka sekarang datang untuk bertemu dengan kalian!” Teman-teman Tamlikha menyahut: “Hai Tamlikha, apakah engkau hendak menjadikan kami ini orang-orang yang menggemparkan seluruh jagad?” “Lantas apa yang kalian inginkan?” Tamlikha balik bertanya. “Angkatlah tanganmu ke atas dan kami pun akan berbuat seperti itu juga,” jawab merekaMereka bertujuh semua mengangkat tangan ke atas, kemudian berdoa: “Ya Allah, dengan kebenaran yang telah Kau perlihatkan kepada kami tentang keanehan-keanehan yang kami alami sekarang ini, cabutlah kembali nyawa kami tanpa sepengetahuan orang lain!” Allah s.w.t. mengabulkan permohonan mereka. Lalu memerintahkan Malaikat maut mencabut kembali nyawa mereka. Kemudian Allah s.w.t. melenyapkan pintu gua tanpa bekas. Dua orang bangsawan yang menunggu-nunggu segera maju mendekati gua, berputar-putar selama tujuh hari untuk mencari-cari pintunya, tetapi tanpa hasil. Tak dapat ditemukan lubang atau jalan masuk lainnya ke dalam gua. Pada saat itu dua orang bangsawan tadi menjadi yakin tentang betapa hebatnya kekuasaan Allah s.w.t. Dua orang bangsawan itu memandang semua peristiwa yang dialami oleh para penghuni gua, sebagai peringatan yang diperlihatkan Allah kepada mereka. Bangsawan yang beragama Islam lalu berkata: “Mereka mati dalam keadaan memeluk agamaku! Akan ku dirikan sebuah tempat ibadah di pintu gua itu.” Sedang bangsawan yang beragama Nasrani berkata pula: “Mereka mati dalam keadaan memeluk agamaku! Akan ku dirikan sebuah biara di pintu gua itu.” Dua orang bangsawan itu bertengkar, dan setelah melalui pertikaian senjata, akhirnya bangsawan Nasrani terkalahkan oleh bangsawan yang beragama Islam. Dengan terjadinya peristiwa tersebut, maka Allah berfirman: Dan begitulah Kami menyerempakkan mereka, supaya mereka mengetahui bahawa janji Allah adalah benar, dan bahawa Saat itu tidak ada keraguan padanya. Apabila mereka berbalahan antara mereka dalam urusan mereka, maka mereka berkata, “Binalah di atas mereka satu bangunan; Pemelihara mereka sangat mengetahui mengenai mereka.” Berkata orang-orang yang menguasai atas urusan mereka, “Kami akan membina di atas mereka sebuah masjid.” Sampai di situ Imam Ali bin Abi Thalib berhenti menceritakan kisah para penghuni gua. Kemudian berkata kepada pendeta Yahudi yang menanyakan kisah itu: “Itulah, hai Yahudi, apa yang telah terjadi dalam kisah mereka. Demi Allah, sekarang aku hendak bertanya kepadamu, apakah semua yang ku ceritakan itu sesuai dengan apa yang tercantum dalam Taurat kalian?” Pendeta Yahudi itu menjawab: “Ya Abal Hasan, engkau tidak menambah dan tidak mengurangi, walau satu huruf pun! Sekarang engkau jangan menyebut diriku sebagai orang Yahudi, sebab aku telah bersaksi bahwa tiada tuhan selain Allah dan bahwa Muhammad adalah hamba Allah serta Rasul-Nya. Aku pun bersaksi juga, bahwa engkau orang yang paling berilmu di kalangan ummat ini!” Demikianlah hikayat tentang para penghuni gua (Ashhabul Kahfi), kutipan dari kitab Qishasul Anbiya yang tercantum dalam kitab Fadha ‘ilul Khamsah Minas Shihahis Sittah, tulisan As Sayyid Murtadha Al Huseiniy Al Faruz Aabaad, dalam menunjukkan banyaknya ilmu pengetahuan yang diperoleh Imam Ali bin Abi Thalib dari Rasul Allah s.a.w. *اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ سَيّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ* 🍃♥️🌹📚📚

    *10 Oktober 2024M*

    السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتهُ
    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـنِ ٱلرَّحِيم

    *Bila mata hati buta...*

    أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَا أَوْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْأَبْصَارُ وَلَـٰكِن تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ
    maka apakah mereka tidak berjalan di muka bumi, lalu mereka mempunyai hati yang dengan itu mereka dapat memahami atau mempunyai telinga yang dengan itu mereka dapat mendengar? Karena sesungguhnya bukanlah mata itu yang buta, tetapi yang buta, ialah hati yang di dalam dada.(Al Hajj: 46)

    Mata hati yang celik dapat melihat tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah, dapat merasai hubungan yang suci denganNya, sentiasa mengingatiNya dengan zikir dan fikir, sentiasa terpandu dengan suluhan nur petunjukNya sehingga jiwanya sentiasa lapang dan luas dalam menerima dan menghayati kebenaran hidup beragama...

    سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ ۗ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
    Kami akan memperlihatkan kepada mereka tanda-tanda (kekuasaan) Kami di segala wilayah bumi dan pada diri mereka sendiri, hingga jelas bagi mereka bahawa Al Quran itu adalah benar. Tiadakah cukup bahawa sesungguhnya Tuhanmu menjadi saksi atas segala sesuatu?
    (Fussilat: 53)

    Sebaliknya mata hati yang buta;
    1. Tidak nampak kebenaran, bahkan sentiasa dibaluti dengan kelalaian...

    وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ
    Dan sesungguhnya Kami jadikan untuk (isi neraka Jahannam) kebanyakan dari jin dan manusia, mereka mempunyai hati, tetapi tidak dipergunakannya untuk memahami (ayat-ayat Allah) dan mereka mempunyai mata (tetapi) tidak dipergunakannya untuk melihat (tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah), dan mereka mempunyai telinga (tetapi) tidak dipergunakannya untuk mendengar (ayat-ayat Allah). Mereka itu sebagai binatang ternak, bahkan mereka lebih sesat lagi. Mereka itulah orang-orang yang lalai.(Al A'raf: 179)

    2. Tidak dapat membezakan kebenaran dengan kebatilan, sedangkan kedua-duanya terpisah jauh...

    وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ ﴿١٩) وَلَا الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلَا النُّورُ ﴿٢٠﴾
    Dan tidaklah sama orang yang buta dengan orang yang melihat.(19) dan tidak (pula) sama gelap gelita dengan cahaya, (20)(Fathir: 19-20)

    و ذكر ابن كثير في تفسيره عند قوله - تعالى : (كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَأَنْزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ بَغْياً بَيْنَهُمْ فَهَدَى اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِ وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ)
    Al Imam Ibnu Katsir menyebut di dalam kitab tafsirnya, dalam mentafsirkan ayat Allah yang (bermaksud),"Manusia itu adalah umat yang satu. (setelah timbul perselisihan), maka Allah mengutus para nabi, sebagai pemberi peringatan, dan Allah menurunkan bersama mereka Kitab yang benar, untuk memberi keputusan di antara manusia tentang perkara yang mereka perselisihkan. Tidaklah berselisih tentang Kitab itu melainkan orang yang telah didatangkan kepada mereka Kitab, yaitu setelah datang kepada mereka keterangan-keterangan yang nyata, karena dengki antara mereka sendiri. Maka Allah memberi petunjuk orang-orang yang beriman kepada kebenaran tentang hal yang mereka perselisihkann itu dengan kehendak-Nya. Dan Allah selalu memberi petunjuk orang yang dikehendaki-Nya kepada jalan yang lurus".

    قال: وفي الدعاء المأثور: "اللهم أرنا الحق حقاً، وارزقنا اتباعه، وأرنا الباطل باطلاً، وارزقنا اجتنابه، ولا تجعله ملتبساً علينا فنضل، واجعلنا للمتقين إماما".تفسير ابن كثير
    Kata Al Imam Ibnu Katsir, di dalam sebuah doa yang ma'tsur yang (bermaksud):"Ya Allah, Tunjukkilah kami kebenaran itu sebagai kebenaran dan rezekikanlah kami agar dapat mengikut kebenaran, dan tunjukkilah kami kebatilan itu sebagai kebatilan dan rezekikanlah kami agar dapat menjauhi kebatilan. Dan janganlah Engkau jadikan perkara yang batil itu nampak samar bagi kami kerana nanti kami akan sesat, dan jadikanlah kami pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang bertaqwa".

    3. Mudah tertipu dengan nafsu dan tarikan duniawi, sehingga tidak menyedari kehidupannya di dunia adalah pada jalan kesesatan.

    الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا
    Iaitu orang-orang yang telah sia-sia perbuatannya dalam kehidupan dunia ini, sedangkan mereka menyangka bahwa mereka berbuat sebaik-baiknya.(Al Kahfi: 104)

    وَمَن كَانَ فِي هَـٰذِهِ أَعْمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَعْمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
    Dan barangsiapa yang buta (hatinya) di dunia ini, niscaya di akhirat (nanti) ia akan lebih buta (pula) dan lebih tersesat dari jalan (yang benar).(Al Isra': 72)

    4. Melihat kebaikan diri sendiri dan menolak kebaikan orang lain

    أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُم ۚ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا
    Apakah kamu tidak memperhatikan orang yang menganggap dirinya bersih?. Sebenarnya Allah membersihkan siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya dan mereka tidak aniaya sedikitpun.(An Nisa': 49)

    قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : " إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ إِعْجَابُ الْمَرْءِ بِرَأْيِهِ ، وَمَنْ قَالَ : أَنَا عَالِمٌ ، فَهُوَ جَاهِلٌ ، وَمَنْ قَالَ : أَنَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ "
    Umar bin al-Khattab pernah berkata:“Sesungguhnya perkara yang paling aku takuti menimpa kamu ialah kagum kepada buah fikiran dan diri sendiri. Sesiapa yang mendakwa dia orang yang beriman, maka sebenarnya dia kafir. Dan sesiapa yang mendakwa dia orang yang berilmu, maka sebenarnya dia jahil. Dan sesiapa yang mendakwa dia ahli syurga, maka sebenarnya dia ahli neraka”.(Riwayat Ibn Marduwaih)

    5. Tidak nampak keburukan diri sendiri tetapi hanya membesarkan keburukan orang lain

    Seorang mukmin yang celik mata hatinya, akan sentiasa bermuhasabah terhadap dirinya dengan melihat dan mengakui kelemahan dan keaiban dirinya. Sebaliknya yang buta matinya hanya lebih gemar mencari dan membesarkan kesalahan orang lain.

    (( إذا أراد الله بعبد خيرا زهده في الدنيا، ورغبه في الآخرة، وبصره بعيوب نفسه ))
    [ رواه أبو منصور الديلمي في مسند الفردوس دون قوله " ورغبه في الآخرة " وزاد " فقهه في الدين " وإسناده ضعيف ].
    Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Apabila Allah menghendaki hamba-Nya menjadi baik, maka diberinya kefahaman terhadap agama, dibuatnya zuhud terhadap dunia, dan dibuatnya menyedari keaibannya sendiri.
    (Hadith Riwayat Ad-Dailami)

    6. Sombong angkuh dengan diri sendiri, sehingga sukar menerima nasihat dan teguran.

    Syaikh al-Allamah Al-Muhaddits Abdul Aziz At-Thuraifi berkata:
    الكِبر بوابة الذنوب يُعمي صاحبه عن حق الله وحق خلقه، فلا يُبصر المتكبر النعمة فيُحرم الشكر، ولا يرى لأحد إحساناً عليه فيُحرم البر .
    "Keangkuhan adalah gerbang berbagai macam dosa, sebab keangkuhan akan membutakan mata hati seseorang dari melihat hak Allah dan hak sesama makhluk. Pada akhirnya, ia tidak mampu melihat nikmat Allah SWT, sehingga dia bersyukur. Dan dia juga tidak bisa melihat kebaikan yang dilakukan oleh seseorang untuk dirinya, sehingga dia bisa membalasnya dengan kebaikan juga".

    Sekaligus, seorang yang angkuh dan sombong sukar mendengar pandangan dan teguran orang lain sekali pun benar. Ini berpunca daripada asad dengki terhadap kebaikan orang lain sedangkan ia sentiasa dirinya lebih baik daripada orang lain.

    ﺍﻟﻜِﺒْﺮُ ﺑﻄﺮ ﺍﻟﺤﻖ ﻭﻏَﻤْﻂُ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ
    Kesombongan itu ialah menolak kebenaran dan meremehkan manusia lain.(Hadith Riwayat Muslim)

    7. Berlaku zalim terhadap orang lain.

    Tidak hairan lah kemuncak daripada butanya mata hati, seseorang itu akan merasa tindakan buruk dan zalimnya sebagai suatu amalan yang baik. Sehingga berterang-terangan menzalimi orang lain dengan lidah dan perbuatannya.

    أَفَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ فَرَآهُ حَسَنًا ۖ فَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرَاتٍ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ
    Maka apakah orang yang dijadikan (syaitan) menganggap baik pekerjaannya yang buruk lalu dia meyakini pekerjaan itu baik, (sama dengan orang yang tidak ditipu oleh syaitan)? Maka sesungguhnya Allah menyesatkan siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya dan menunjuki siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya; maka janganlah dirimu binasa karena kesedihan terhadap mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang mereka perbuat.(Fathir: 8)

    اللّهم نَوِّرْ قُلُوبَنا بِنُورِ هدايتك كما نَوَّرْتَ هٰذهِ اﻷَرْضَ بنور شَمْسِكَ
    Ya Allah, terangilah hati-hati kami dengan nur cahaya petunjukMu sebagaimana Engkau telah menerangi bumi ini dengan cahaya mentariMu...

    *Justeru, wahai sahabat yakni saudaraku yang beriman lagi dimuliakan mohonlah nurNya agar mata hatimu sentiasa terang bersinar menerangi jiwamu...barakallahuminalakum*
    *Terima kasih saudaraku yang beriman lagi dimuliakan untuk penghasilan santapan jiwa ini*

    *جزك الله خيرا كثيرا.*

    *وَعَلَيْكُمْ السَّلامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ.*
    *07 Rabiul Akhir 1446H* *10 Oktober 2024M* السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتهُ بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـنِ ٱلرَّحِيم *Bila mata hati buta...* أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَا أَوْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْأَبْصَارُ وَلَـٰكِن تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ maka apakah mereka tidak berjalan di muka bumi, lalu mereka mempunyai hati yang dengan itu mereka dapat memahami atau mempunyai telinga yang dengan itu mereka dapat mendengar? Karena sesungguhnya bukanlah mata itu yang buta, tetapi yang buta, ialah hati yang di dalam dada.(Al Hajj: 46) Mata hati yang celik dapat melihat tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah, dapat merasai hubungan yang suci denganNya, sentiasa mengingatiNya dengan zikir dan fikir, sentiasa terpandu dengan suluhan nur petunjukNya sehingga jiwanya sentiasa lapang dan luas dalam menerima dan menghayati kebenaran hidup beragama... سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ ۗ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ Kami akan memperlihatkan kepada mereka tanda-tanda (kekuasaan) Kami di segala wilayah bumi dan pada diri mereka sendiri, hingga jelas bagi mereka bahawa Al Quran itu adalah benar. Tiadakah cukup bahawa sesungguhnya Tuhanmu menjadi saksi atas segala sesuatu? (Fussilat: 53) Sebaliknya mata hati yang buta; 1. Tidak nampak kebenaran, bahkan sentiasa dibaluti dengan kelalaian... وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ Dan sesungguhnya Kami jadikan untuk (isi neraka Jahannam) kebanyakan dari jin dan manusia, mereka mempunyai hati, tetapi tidak dipergunakannya untuk memahami (ayat-ayat Allah) dan mereka mempunyai mata (tetapi) tidak dipergunakannya untuk melihat (tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah), dan mereka mempunyai telinga (tetapi) tidak dipergunakannya untuk mendengar (ayat-ayat Allah). Mereka itu sebagai binatang ternak, bahkan mereka lebih sesat lagi. Mereka itulah orang-orang yang lalai.(Al A'raf: 179) 2. Tidak dapat membezakan kebenaran dengan kebatilan, sedangkan kedua-duanya terpisah jauh... وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْأَعْمَىٰ وَالْبَصِيرُ ﴿١٩) وَلَا الظُّلُمَاتُ وَلَا النُّورُ ﴿٢٠﴾ Dan tidaklah sama orang yang buta dengan orang yang melihat.(19) dan tidak (pula) sama gelap gelita dengan cahaya, (20)(Fathir: 19-20) و ذكر ابن كثير في تفسيره عند قوله - تعالى : (كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَأَنْزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ بَغْياً بَيْنَهُمْ فَهَدَى اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِ وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ) Al Imam Ibnu Katsir menyebut di dalam kitab tafsirnya, dalam mentafsirkan ayat Allah yang (bermaksud),"Manusia itu adalah umat yang satu. (setelah timbul perselisihan), maka Allah mengutus para nabi, sebagai pemberi peringatan, dan Allah menurunkan bersama mereka Kitab yang benar, untuk memberi keputusan di antara manusia tentang perkara yang mereka perselisihkan. Tidaklah berselisih tentang Kitab itu melainkan orang yang telah didatangkan kepada mereka Kitab, yaitu setelah datang kepada mereka keterangan-keterangan yang nyata, karena dengki antara mereka sendiri. Maka Allah memberi petunjuk orang-orang yang beriman kepada kebenaran tentang hal yang mereka perselisihkann itu dengan kehendak-Nya. Dan Allah selalu memberi petunjuk orang yang dikehendaki-Nya kepada jalan yang lurus". قال: وفي الدعاء المأثور: "اللهم أرنا الحق حقاً، وارزقنا اتباعه، وأرنا الباطل باطلاً، وارزقنا اجتنابه، ولا تجعله ملتبساً علينا فنضل، واجعلنا للمتقين إماما".تفسير ابن كثير Kata Al Imam Ibnu Katsir, di dalam sebuah doa yang ma'tsur yang (bermaksud):"Ya Allah, Tunjukkilah kami kebenaran itu sebagai kebenaran dan rezekikanlah kami agar dapat mengikut kebenaran, dan tunjukkilah kami kebatilan itu sebagai kebatilan dan rezekikanlah kami agar dapat menjauhi kebatilan. Dan janganlah Engkau jadikan perkara yang batil itu nampak samar bagi kami kerana nanti kami akan sesat, dan jadikanlah kami pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang bertaqwa". 3. Mudah tertipu dengan nafsu dan tarikan duniawi, sehingga tidak menyedari kehidupannya di dunia adalah pada jalan kesesatan. الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا Iaitu orang-orang yang telah sia-sia perbuatannya dalam kehidupan dunia ini, sedangkan mereka menyangka bahwa mereka berbuat sebaik-baiknya.(Al Kahfi: 104) وَمَن كَانَ فِي هَـٰذِهِ أَعْمَىٰ فَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَعْمَىٰ وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا Dan barangsiapa yang buta (hatinya) di dunia ini, niscaya di akhirat (nanti) ia akan lebih buta (pula) dan lebih tersesat dari jalan (yang benar).(Al Isra': 72) 4. Melihat kebaikan diri sendiri dan menolak kebaikan orang lain أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُم ۚ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا Apakah kamu tidak memperhatikan orang yang menganggap dirinya bersih?. Sebenarnya Allah membersihkan siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya dan mereka tidak aniaya sedikitpun.(An Nisa': 49) قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : " إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ إِعْجَابُ الْمَرْءِ بِرَأْيِهِ ، وَمَنْ قَالَ : أَنَا عَالِمٌ ، فَهُوَ جَاهِلٌ ، وَمَنْ قَالَ : أَنَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ " Umar bin al-Khattab pernah berkata:“Sesungguhnya perkara yang paling aku takuti menimpa kamu ialah kagum kepada buah fikiran dan diri sendiri. Sesiapa yang mendakwa dia orang yang beriman, maka sebenarnya dia kafir. Dan sesiapa yang mendakwa dia orang yang berilmu, maka sebenarnya dia jahil. Dan sesiapa yang mendakwa dia ahli syurga, maka sebenarnya dia ahli neraka”.(Riwayat Ibn Marduwaih) 5. Tidak nampak keburukan diri sendiri tetapi hanya membesarkan keburukan orang lain Seorang mukmin yang celik mata hatinya, akan sentiasa bermuhasabah terhadap dirinya dengan melihat dan mengakui kelemahan dan keaiban dirinya. Sebaliknya yang buta matinya hanya lebih gemar mencari dan membesarkan kesalahan orang lain. (( إذا أراد الله بعبد خيرا زهده في الدنيا، ورغبه في الآخرة، وبصره بعيوب نفسه )) [ رواه أبو منصور الديلمي في مسند الفردوس دون قوله " ورغبه في الآخرة " وزاد " فقهه في الدين " وإسناده ضعيف ]. Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Apabila Allah menghendaki hamba-Nya menjadi baik, maka diberinya kefahaman terhadap agama, dibuatnya zuhud terhadap dunia, dan dibuatnya menyedari keaibannya sendiri. (Hadith Riwayat Ad-Dailami) 6. Sombong angkuh dengan diri sendiri, sehingga sukar menerima nasihat dan teguran. Syaikh al-Allamah Al-Muhaddits Abdul Aziz At-Thuraifi berkata: الكِبر بوابة الذنوب يُعمي صاحبه عن حق الله وحق خلقه، فلا يُبصر المتكبر النعمة فيُحرم الشكر، ولا يرى لأحد إحساناً عليه فيُحرم البر . "Keangkuhan adalah gerbang berbagai macam dosa, sebab keangkuhan akan membutakan mata hati seseorang dari melihat hak Allah dan hak sesama makhluk. Pada akhirnya, ia tidak mampu melihat nikmat Allah SWT, sehingga dia bersyukur. Dan dia juga tidak bisa melihat kebaikan yang dilakukan oleh seseorang untuk dirinya, sehingga dia bisa membalasnya dengan kebaikan juga". Sekaligus, seorang yang angkuh dan sombong sukar mendengar pandangan dan teguran orang lain sekali pun benar. Ini berpunca daripada asad dengki terhadap kebaikan orang lain sedangkan ia sentiasa dirinya lebih baik daripada orang lain. ﺍﻟﻜِﺒْﺮُ ﺑﻄﺮ ﺍﻟﺤﻖ ﻭﻏَﻤْﻂُ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ Kesombongan itu ialah menolak kebenaran dan meremehkan manusia lain.(Hadith Riwayat Muslim) 7. Berlaku zalim terhadap orang lain. Tidak hairan lah kemuncak daripada butanya mata hati, seseorang itu akan merasa tindakan buruk dan zalimnya sebagai suatu amalan yang baik. Sehingga berterang-terangan menzalimi orang lain dengan lidah dan perbuatannya. أَفَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ فَرَآهُ حَسَنًا ۖ فَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۖ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرَاتٍ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ Maka apakah orang yang dijadikan (syaitan) menganggap baik pekerjaannya yang buruk lalu dia meyakini pekerjaan itu baik, (sama dengan orang yang tidak ditipu oleh syaitan)? Maka sesungguhnya Allah menyesatkan siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya dan menunjuki siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya; maka janganlah dirimu binasa karena kesedihan terhadap mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang mereka perbuat.(Fathir: 8) اللّهم نَوِّرْ قُلُوبَنا بِنُورِ هدايتك كما نَوَّرْتَ هٰذهِ اﻷَرْضَ بنور شَمْسِكَ Ya Allah, terangilah hati-hati kami dengan nur cahaya petunjukMu sebagaimana Engkau telah menerangi bumi ini dengan cahaya mentariMu... *Justeru, wahai sahabat yakni saudaraku yang beriman lagi dimuliakan mohonlah nurNya agar mata hatimu sentiasa terang bersinar menerangi jiwamu...barakallahuminalakum* *Terima kasih saudaraku yang beriman lagi dimuliakan untuk penghasilan santapan jiwa ini* *جزك الله خيرا كثيرا.* *وَعَلَيْكُمْ السَّلامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ.*

    إنَّ اللهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُوْرٌ

    "Sesungguhnya Allah benar-benar Maha Pemaaf lagi Maha Pengampun" [Surah al-hajj 60]

    #Berkata Syeikh Abdul Rahman as-Sa'di rahimahullah: "Dia Maha memaafkan orang-orang yang berbuat dosa, dengan tidak menyegerakan seksaan bagi mereka, serta mengampuni dosa-dosa mereka. Maka Allah menghapuskan dosa dan bekas-bekasnya dari diri mereka. Inilah sifat Allah swt yang tetap dan terus ada pada zat-Nya (Yang Maha Mulia), dan inilah perlakuanNya kepada hamba-hambaNya di setiap waktu, (iaitu) dengan pemaafan dan pengampunan…"

    #Hal ini bertepatan dengan Firman Allah swt :

    وَلَوۡ یُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهۡرِهَا مِن دَاۤبَّةࣲ وَلَـٰكِن یُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ إِلَىٰۤ أَجَلࣲ مُّسَمࣰّىۖ فَإِذَا جَاۤءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ بَصِیرَۢا

    "Dan kalaulah Allah mengirakan kesalahan manusia serta terus menyeksa mereka disebabkan amal-amal jahat yang mereka telah kerjakan, tentulah la tidak membiarkan tinggal di muka bumi sesuatu makhluk yang bergerak; akan tetapi (dia tidak bertindak dengan serta merta, bahkan) Ia memberi tempoh kepada mereka hingga ke suatu masa yang tertentu; kemudian apabila sampai tempoh mereka (maka Allah akan membalas masing-masing dengan adilnya), kerana sesungguhnya Allah sentiasa Melihat keadaan hamba-hambaNya" [Surah Fāṭir 45]

    #Tersebut dalam hadis Qudsi, bahwa Allah swt berfirman: "Seorang hamba melakukan perbuatan dosa, kemudian dia berdoa: "Ya Allah ampunilah dosaku". Maka Allah swt berfirman: "HambaKu telah berbuat dosa, sedang dia meyakini bahawa dia mempunyai Tuhan yang Maha mengampuni dan membalas perbuatan dosa". (Maka Allah mengampuni dosanya), kemudian hamba itu berbuat dosa lagi lalu berdoa: "Ya Tuhanku ampunilah dosaku" . Maka Allah swt berfirman: "HambaKu telah berbuat dosa, sedang dia meyakini bahawa dia mempunyai Tuhan yang Maha mengampuni dan membalas perbuatan dosa". (Maka Allah mengampuni dosanya), kemudian hamba itu berbuat dosa lagi lalu berdoa: "Ya Tuhanku ampunilah dosaku". Maka Allah swt berfirman: "HambaKu telah berbuat dosa, sedang dia meyakini bahawa dia mempunyai Tuhan yang Maha mengampuni dan membalas perbuatan dosa, berbuatlah sesukamu (wahai hambaKu), maka sungguh Aku telah mengampunimu" (HR al-Bukhari) Iaitu "selama kamu terus bertaubat, memohon dan kembali (kepadaKu)".

    #Berkata Imam Ibnu Rajab:

    العفو من أسماء الله تعالى وهو يتجاوز عن سيئات عباده الماحي لأثارهم عنهم وهو يحب العفو فيحب أن يعفو عن عباده ويحب من عباده أن يعفو بعضهم عن بعض فإذا عفا بعضهم عن بعض عاملهم بعفوه وعفوه أحب إليه من عقوبته

    "Al-‘Afuw merupakan sebahagian dari nama-nama Allah swt. Ia bermaksud Allah mengampunkan dosa-dosa para hambaNya serta memadam kesan-kesan dosa dari mereka. Allah suka kepada kemaafan dan Dia suka untuk memaafkan para hambaNya. Dia juga suka sekiranya hamba-hambaNya saling memaafkan sesama mereka. Sekiranya mereka saling bermaafan, Allah akan melayan mereka dengan sifat pemaafNya, dan memaafkan itu lebih Dia sukai berbanding memberikan hukuman" (Lihat: Lata’if al-Ma’arif)

    ♡Allah Tuhan Yang sentiasa bersedia memaafkan hambaNya, maka berdoa, bermunajat dan merayulah agar diampuni segala dosa dan kesalahan kita♡

  • As Gazans starve, Israeli rhetoric grows more and more radically anti-Palestinian – Day 306
    [email protected] August 9, 2024 AIPAC, ceasefire, Cori Bush, ethnic cleansing, humanitarian aid gaza, kamala harris on palestine, polio in gaza, rape of palestinian prisoners, sanctions, tim walz on palestine, torture of Palestinian prisoners
    A Palestinian girl clings to her mother in Gaza City, June 2 [Dawoud Abo Alkas/Anadolu] (photo)
    In Gaza, airstrikes continue, food rations drop, polio threat grows; in Israel, calls to punish not the rapists, but the one who filmed them, to make rape of Palestinian prisoners official policy, to make Nablus in West Bank “look like Rafah,” to legalize Israeli settlement in Gaza, to end US sanctions on violent settlers; Biden administration ok’s more war after prisoner swap (risking ceasefire deal), condemns not AIPAC’s purchase of congressional candidates, but Cori Bush’s warnings against AIPAC; Kamala Harris indicates no tolerance for pro-Palestinian protesters or their message; Tim Walz’s track record on Palestine is not nearly as moral as Dems painted it; more.

    By IAK staff, from reports.

    At least 15 killed in Israeli bombing of two Gaza schools

    The New Arab reports: An Israeli attack on two schools in Gaza City left at least 15 people killed and dozens injured in the Tuffah district of the besieged enclave.

    The schools targeted, Abdel Fattah Hamoud and al-Zahraa, were destroyed with many Palestinians still missing and trapped under the rubble, according to local civil defence teams who were still working to pull people out.

    Displaced Palestinians were sheltering in the schools, which were reportedly targeted without any prior warning.

    Earlier on Thursday, Israeli forces stepped up airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, killing at least five Palestinians in a house in the heart of Gaza City.

    Another airstrike in the southern city of Khan Younis killed one person and wounded others, according to medics.

    NOTE: Every single day, Gaza’s population endures many airstrikes, tank shells, and snipers’ bullets – too many to report on here. And every day, more Palestinians are lost under the rubble of bombed-out buildings. We acknowledge that these are important stories, even if we are unable to cover them all.

    World Food Program forced to reduce rations in Gaza

    Al Jazeera reports: The deputy spokesperson for the UN secretary-general, Farhan Haq, explained that the World Food Program has been forced to reduce rations for Palestinians in Gaza because of the continuing war on the enclave.

    “WFP urgently needs fuel deliveries, increased flow of blood supplies and greater capacity to deliver hot meals, particularly in Gaza City and north Gaza,” Haq said.

    “WFP warns that it will be unable to bring in the quantity of food required this month unless more border crossing points into Gaza open and aid workers are able to bring in half the quantity of food needed in July and in the West Bank.”


    Without ceasefire for vaccines, polio could spread throughout region: WHO specialist

    Al Jazeera reports: The UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) has called for a ceasefire in Gaza to administer a mass polio vaccination campaign, including to 600,000 children under the age of eight, after samples of the disease were detected in the enclave’s wastewater.

    Hamid Jafari, a polio specialist with the WHO, says that if such a ceasefire is not implemented and if healthcare workers are not granted enough freedom of movement to distribute all the vaccines, the risk of a polio outbreak both within Gaza and regionally is “very high”.

    “This can spread very fast internationally and most importantly, it is a direct threat to the children of Gaza,” Jafari told Al Jazeera. “This can start paralysing children very very rapidly.”

    He added: “If it [polio] spreads into Israel or the West Bank, it becomes a public health emergency there. Lebanon is at risk. Egypt is at risk. Jordan is at risk. And other countries of the region are at risk.

    After Israel destroyed Gaza's water and sewage systems, filthy water runs or stands stagnant all over the enclave, carrying polio and other diseases.

    Friendly Fire: Israeli Man Dies After Being Wounded by Malfunctioning Iron Dome Interceptor

    Ha’aretz reports: The Israeli military said a preliminary investigation showed Samara was mistakenly struck by a malfunctioning interceptor rocket that was launched at a drone launched from Lebanon. The investigation showed that the rocket had fallen after failing to explode in the air as designed, it added.

    Two others were wounded besides Samara: a woman who was hit by shrapnel from the explosion and a cyclist who was hit by a car during the alarm.

    The hospital in the area said 19 people were admitted for treatment, including six soldiers – most of them requesting help for headaches, ringing in the ears and anxiety.

    Israel bans imam Ekrima Sabri from Al-Aqsa Mosque for 6 more months

    Al Jazeera reports: Israel has extended its ban on Al-Aqsa Mosque’s speaker Ekrima Sabri, restricting his access to the mosque and its courtyards for six more months, his lawyer tells Al Jazeera.

    Sabri was detained on August 2 on suspicion of inciting “terrorism” after he mourned assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at the mosque.

    Sabri, 85, the former grand mufti of Jerusalem and current head of its Supreme Islamic Council, called Haniyeh a “martyr” at the mosque in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, his lawyer Hamzeh Qutteineh said at the time.

    At the time, he was also banned from entering the mosque until August 8.

    Smotrich demands punishment for person who filmed Sde Teiman rape video

    Middle East Eye reports: Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for an investigation to find out who took the video that shows Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian in the Sde Teiman detention centre.

    In a post on X, he demanded “an immediate criminal investigation to locate the leakers of the trending video that was intended to harm the reservists and that caused tremendous damage to Israel in the world and to exhaust the full severity of the law against them”.

    NOTE: On Monday, Smotrich said that letting two million people in Gaza die from hunger is “justified and moral”.

    Israeli journalist urges rape to become state policy for Palestinian prisoners

    Andalou Agency reports: An Israeli journalist advocated rape Thursday as an official policy by the state for Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails.

    “The only thing that is a problem for me here is that it is not a regulated policy of the state to abuse the (Palestinian) detainees,” journalist Yehuda Schlesinger said on a television program on Channel 12 when asked if raping prisoners is acceptable.

    He justified his comments by claiming, “Because first of all, they deserve it, and it is great revenge that we need to give them.”

    “And secondly, maybe it will also serve us a little more as a deterrent,” he said. “It is just a shame that we don’t do it in an institutionalized way as a part of regulations for torture of prisoners.”

    The comments follow reports by media outlets that showed a video of Israeli soldier raping a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman Prison in the Negev desert in southern Israel.

    Israeli lawmaker says ‘Nablus should look like Rafah’

    Middle East Eye reports: Israeli member of parliament Zvi Sukkot, a member of the far-right Religious Zionist Party, said Israel should act in the occupied West Bank the same way it is acting in the Gaza Strip.

    “We still see processions of armed men,” he said. “Maybe we are waiting for them to try to shoot someone? This is a disturbing event, an unacceptable reality. Nablus should look like Rafah as long as it exports terror, Tulkarm like Khan Younis, Jenin like Jabalia.”

    Israeli forces have killed at least 620 Palestinians in the West Bank since the start of the war on Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

    The Cradle reports: Israel’s Channel 12 reported on 8 August that lawmakers from the Likud and Religious Zionism parties have formed a “civilian parliamentary working group” alongside settler leaders that seeks to legitimize the resettlement of Gaza by repealing the 2005 disengagement law.

    The working group reportedly expects to present the draft bill at the opening of the next Knesset session.

    Approved in 2005, the Gaza Disengagement Law led to the dismantling of the Gush Katif settlement bloc in the strip and four Jewish settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank. For several years preceding the current war, religious Zionist settlers in Israel called for a war to conquer Gaza, reverse the disengagement, and rebuild Gush Katif.


    Israeli army responds to announcement of World Central Kitchen of Israel’s killing of staff

    The US-based World Central Kitchen aid group had announced the killing of a Palestinian staff member, Nadi Sallout, near Gaza’s Deir el-Balah.

    The Times of Israel newspaper reports that the Israeli military said it conducted a preliminary examination and held a conversation with the WCK about the reported killing.

    It claimed that “there is no known incident of harm to an employee of the organization while working in the last few days,” adding, “The [army] examines each unusual incident individually.”

    In early April, Israel killed seven people working with the United States-based NGO in an attack on the Gaza Strip.

    NOTE: Israel’s self-investigations consistently whitewash its crimes and fail to appropriately punish the perpetrators. Israeli sources, including the government itself, have a long track record of lying (for example, this and this and this.)


    US To Let Israel Restart Military Operations in Gaza After First Phase of Ceasefire Deal

    As Ha’aretz reports ceasefire negotiations are nearly completed, AntiWar reports: The US is ready to guarantee that it would allow Israel to restart the genocidal war in Gaza after the first phase of any hostage and ceasefire deal that might be reached with Hamas, according to Israeli media reports.

    The Israeli condition could make Hamas less likely to agree to a deal since one of its main demands has been a permanent ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

    According to The Times of Israel, a proposal that’s been discussed would involve three phases where Israel would halt its military operations and Hamas would release hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants a guarantee that he’ll be able to restart military operations after the first phase, which is when negotiations will be held on implementing the next two phases.

    The US has not yet provided a written agreement that it would allow Israel to restart operations but has expressed its approval of the idea. Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the US wouldn’t give the guarantee in writing until an agreement is reached with Hamas.


    Israel ‘working to block’ sanctions on violent settlers: Netanyahu

    Israeli government press release: The Israeli prime minister held a meeting Thursday in Tel Aviv with council heads from illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank to discuss their concerns about the effects of the Western sanctions imposed on a limited number of violent settlers and organizations.

    Regarding the sanctions against the settlers and the organizations, Prime Minister Netanyahu noted that he views this with utmost gravity and said: “We are working to block this. It is an issue for the entire State of Israel, not just Judea and Samaria.”

    Netanyahu: Israel should have waged war against Hamas sooner

    In an exclusive interview given to the US’s Time Magazine, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he made a mistake not launching a full-scale war against the Palestinian group in the years leading up to its October 7 attacks on Israel.

    He blamed the Israeli security establishment for its hesitation, and himself for acceding to their reluctance.

    “October 7 showed that those who said that Hamas was deterred were wrong,” he said to Time during his interview. “If anything, I didn’t challenge enough the assumption that was common to all the security agencies.”

    [In reality, Israel had frequently waged war on Gaza.]




    White House denounces Cori Bush’s ‘inflammatory’ words to AIPAC after primary loss

    The Hill reports: Asked for President Biden’s thoughts on Bush’s vow to challenge AIPAC, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president condemns that kind of “divisive” and “inflammatory” rhetoric.

    Earlier this week, Cori Bush told supporters, “They’re about to see this other Cori, this other side…All they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid,” and, “AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down.”

    The White House press secretary said of this comment, “Look, the president has always been very clear — and very recently, after the assassination attempt of the last president — about lowering rhetoric, right? Lowering political rhetoric and the importance of doing that,” Jean-Pierre said Wednesday at the daily press briefing.

    “It is important — important that we be very mindful of what we say. This kind of rhetoric is inflammatory and divisive and incredibly unhelpful.”

    “We’re going to continue to condemn any type of political rhetoric in that way, in that vein,” she continued. “And so, it is important to be mindful in what we say and how we say it. But we cannot have this type of inflammatory, divisive language in our political discourse.”

    NOTE: In what some analysts have called an attack on the democratic process, AIPAC spent over $17 million to topple Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., in June, and around $26 million to defeat Cori Bush. The administration’s position toward Bush’s comment indicates it is more worried about challenges to Israel’s primacy in US politics than the fact that Congressional seats are for sale.



    Kamala’s husband, the US Second Gentleman, claims ‘We’re witnessing the worst wave of Jew-hatred since World War II’

    Ha’aretz reports: Talking to the media while visiting Paris, U.S. Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff said that “There is a ferocious surge of antisemitism occurring around the world, including here in France. It is a crisis.”

    We are witnessing the worst wave of Jew-hatred the globe has experienced since World War II,” he added.

    According to the second gentleman, “When Jews are targeted because of their beliefs or identity, and when Israel is singled out because of anti-Jewish hatred, that is antisemitism.”

    NOTE: A large portion of alleged antisemitism is opposition to Zionism, a racist ideology under which Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people and exiled them to Gaza and other locations. The so-called “demonization” of Israel is in most cases a legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies of occupation, apartheid, and genocide, and other illegal practices.

    Activists in Minnesota: ‘Governor Walz has refused to meet Palestinian families’

    Middle East Eye reports: It’s been 10 months since Israel’s war on Gaza began, and Governor Tim Walz, the newly appointed vice-presidential nominee on Kamala Harris’ ticket, has yet to meet with Palestinian families from his home state of Minnesota, anti-war activists have told Middle East Eye.

    The accusations are in stark contrast to the public image being conjured up by the Democratic Party establishment to present Walz, along with presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, as more sympathetic and empathetic towards the carnage suffered by Palestinians over the past 10 months.

    But according to several activists in Minnesota, not only has the governor refused to meet with Palestinian families who have lost relatives in Israel’s war on Gaza, he has barely acknowledged their concerns and and demands.

    Sana Wazwaz, spokesperson for the group, said the Palestinian community had been trying for months to arrange a meeting with the governor to talk about the devastating losses in Gaza and their demands for an arms embargo on Israel.

    When they did manage to arrange a meeting with the governor for early July, it was abruptly cancelled when they explained to the governor’s staff that they had come to discuss “material solutions” with the governor and not merely to narrate “sob stories” about the loss of their loved ones.

    When asked why the meeting had been cancelled, they were told that the governor “was prepared to listen to you tell your stories, but we weren’t prepared to talk about divestment”.

    “Walz wanted us for the PR stunt and not for actual, genuine conversation about political change. He just wanted to check it off the list that he met with another marginalized group that he’s been ignoring for months upon months,” Wazwaz explained.

    “We have been trying for months to arrange a meeting. Phone calls have been made, but Governor Walz has refused to show up for any of the Palestinian families; has refused to sit down and meet with them, has refused to, you know, visit a single mosque or a single Palestinian institution to check in on our families,” Wazwaz said.

    Activists also point out that Walz’s nomination has also garnered praise from liberal pro-Israel lobbying groups in the US. J Street described the Harris-Walz team as “pro-Israel”; Mark Mellman, chair of Democratic Majority for Israel described Walz as a “proud pro-Israel Democrat with a strong record of supporting the US-Israel relationship”.

    COUNTERPUNCH ADDS: Harris has offered sympathetic words on Gaza: “The images of dead children and desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety – sometimes displaced for a second, third, or fourth time – we cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I will not be silent.”

    Eman Abdelhadi of the University of Chicago finds such sentiments from Harris parch dry, arguing that a lack of “an actual commitment to stop killing the children of Gaza” invalidates any claims to empathy. “To be empathetic to someone that you’re shooting in the head is not exactly laudable. We don’t need empathy from these people. We need to stop providing the weapons and the money that is actively killing the people that they’re supposedly empathising with.”

    Middle East Monitor: In Gaza, keeping the internet on can cost lives but also save them


    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – AUGUST 8:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7 – August 8: at least 40,315* (39,699 in Gaza* – 11,445 women (30%), 16,251 children as of July 22. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

    This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 616 in the West Bank (~140 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 46,848 Palestinian deaths.

    Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

    Ralph Nader earlier estimated 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

    At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 18 from West Bank).
    At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition**.
    About 1.7 million, or 75% of Gaza’s population are currently displaced.
    2.15 million (out of total population of 2.3 million) are projected to face Crisis or worse levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – August 8: at least 97,142 (including at least 91,722 in Gaza and 5,420 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how man Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

    Reported Israeli death toll from October 7 – August 8: ~1,486 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 331 military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 16 in the West Bank) and~8,730 injured.

    Times of Israel reports: The IDF listed 41 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents – nearly 16%.

    NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries in Israel on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

    *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.**

    Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

    † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

By IAK staff, from reports. At least 15 killed in Israeli bombing of two Gaza schools The New Arab reports: An Israeli attack on two schools in Gaza City left at least 15 people killed and dozens injured in the Tuffah district of the besieged enclave. The schools targeted, Abdel Fattah Hamoud and al-Zahraa, were destroyed with many Palestinians still missing and trapped under the rubble, according to local civil defence teams who were still working to pull people out. Displaced Palestinians were sheltering in the schools, which were reportedly targeted without any prior warning. Earlier on Thursday, Israeli forces stepped up airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, killing at least five Palestinians in a house in the heart of Gaza City. Another airstrike in the southern city of Khan Younis killed one person and wounded others, according to medics. NOTE: Every single day, Gaza’s population endures many airstrikes, tank shells, and snipers’ bullets – too many to report on here. And every day, more Palestinians are lost under the rubble of bombed-out buildings. We acknowledge that these are important stories, even if we are unable to cover them all.

Hamid Jafari, a polio specialist with the WHO, says that if such a ceasefire is not implemented and if healthcare workers are not granted enough freedom of movement to distribute all the vaccines, the risk of a polio outbreak both within Gaza and regionally is “very high”. “This can spread very fast internationally and most importantly, it is a direct threat to the children of Gaza,” Jafari told Al Jazeera. “This can start paralysing children very very rapidly.” He added: “If it [polio] spreads into Israel or the West Bank, it becomes a public health emergency there. Lebanon is at risk. Egypt is at risk. Jordan is at risk. And other countries of the region are at risk.

Two others were wounded besides Samara: a woman who was hit by shrapnel from the explosion and a cyclist who was hit by a car during the alarm.

Sabri was detained on August 2 on suspicion of inciting “terrorism” after he mourned assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at the mosque. Sabri, 85, the former grand mufti of Jerusalem and current head of its Supreme Islamic Council, called Haniyeh a “martyr” at the mosque in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, his lawyer Hamzeh Qutteineh said at the time. At the time, he was also banned from entering the mosque until August 8.

Israeli journalist urges rape to become state policy for Palestinian prisoners Andalou Agency reports: An Israeli journalist advocated rape Thursday as an official policy by the state for Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails. “The only thing that is a problem for me here is that it is not a regulated policy of the state to abuse the (Palestinian) detainees,” journalist Yehuda Schlesinger said on a television program on Channel 12 when asked if raping prisoners is acceptable. He justified his comments by claiming, “Because first of all, they deserve it, and it is great revenge that we need to give them.” “And secondly, maybe it will also serve us a little more as a deterrent,” he said. “It is just a shame that we don’t do it in an institutionalized way as a part of regulations for torture of prisoners.” The comments follow reports by media outlets that showed a video of Israeli soldier raping a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman Prison in the Negev desert in southern Israel. A leaked video showing Israeli soldiers sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee from Gaza has emerged.

The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

    Gaza aid is “significantly hindered” by Israeli restrictions, unsafe conditions: UN

    OCHA reports: The UN’s Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says Israeli restrictions, the closure of the Rafah border crossing, continued fighting, and damaged and risky roads are preventing life-saving aid from getting to Gaza.

    OCHA’s latest Gaza report says the Israeli military continues to impose restrictions on the entry of certain humanitarian supplies, including recreational and psychosocial support kits for children.

    “Between 1 and 29 July, an average of 77 truckloads of aid supplies entered Gaza daily, representing a decline of about 42 per cent compared with the daily average of 132 trucks between January and April 2024,” the OCHA says.

    NOTE: Before the war, about 500 truckloads of aid entered Gaza every day.

    “In July, out of 157 humanitarian assistance missions coordinated with the Israeli authorities to northern Gaza, 67 missions were facilitated by the Israeli authorities, 42 were impeded, 30 were denied, and 18 were cancelled due to logistical, operational, or security reasons.”

    Out of 386 aid mission requests to reach areas south of Wadi Gaza that require coordination, 250 missions were facilitated by the Israeli authorities, 46 were impeded, 53 were denied and 37 were cancelled, according to OCHA.

    UN says debris in Gaza amounts to 41.95 million metric tonnes

    UNITAR reports: The UN Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) has said that the total debris in the Gaza Strip generated by the war amounts to approximately 41.95 million metric tonnes.

    The figure is up 83 percent from the nearly 23 million tonnes estimated on January 7.

    The Israeli war has resulted in 14 times more debris than the combined total from all previous conflicts in the Palestinian territory since 2008, UNOSAT said.

    The agency estimated that 114 kilogrammes (250 pounds) of debris were generated for each square metre in the Gaza Strip.

    Israeli police arrest Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher for mourning Haniyeh

    Middle East Monitor reports: Israeli police, on Friday, reportedly arrested Al-Aqsa Mosque preacher, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, for mourning slain Hamas Political Bureau chief, Ismail Haniyeh.

    Haniyeh was assassinated on Wednesday in Tehran, Iran’s capital. While Hamas and Iran blamed Israel for the killing, Tel Aviv has not confirmed or denied its responsibility.

    One of Sabri’s relatives said that the Israeli police officers stormed into his home in the Occupied East Jerusalem and arrested him.

    Following the Friday prayer in Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sabri led a funeral prayer in absentia for Haniyeh.

    “The people of Jerusalem and the environs of Jerusalem from the pulpit of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque mourn the martyr Ismail Haniyeh,” he said during his sermon.

    Following the sermon, the Israeli police said they were probing whether the statement constituted “incitement” and that they would act accordingly.

    The 85-year-old preacher was detained multiple times by the Israeli forces in the past and was banned from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque in Occupied East Jerusalem for several months.

    Sabri is a staunch critic of the decades-long Israeli Occupation of the Palestinian Territories. He had previously held the position of Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories from 1994 to 2006.

    Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir had boasted earlier about Sabri’s detention.

    “My policy towards instigators is clear – zero tolerance,” Ben-Gvir said in a social media post.

    UPDATE: Lawyer Khalid Zabarqa was quoted as telling al-Jazeera that Israeli police had decided to release Al-Aqsa Mosque imam, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, after interrogation.

    Two senior Hamas officials, three from military wing killed in Israeli strikes last week: Report

    Middle East Eye reports: The Saudi newspaper Asharq al-Awsat quoted two Hamas sources as saying that two senior officials of the group’s political bureau, along with another three military wing members, were killed in an Israeli air strike while in a tunnel in Gaza last week.

    The Saudi newspaper named the two senior officials as Rawhi Mushtaha and Samah al-Sarrag, and the other three military members as Abdel Hadi Seyam, Samy Awdah, and Mohamed Hadid.

    The report says Mushtaha is a close associate of the Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.

    According to the report, the strike hit southwest of Gaza City and targeted an area located above a tunnel where the five Hamas members were said to be residing.

    It said the tunnel had already been damaged at the start of the war on Gaza.

    The five Hamas members were buried on Thursday, according to Hamas sources cited in Asharq Al-Awsat.

    MEE has not been able to independently verify the report.

    West Bank: Paramedic succumbs to wounds from Israeli army gunfire in Balata camp

    WAFA reports: A Palestinian paramedic Friday evening succumbed to his wounds sustained from Israeli army gunfire in the Balata refugee camp, according to the Health Ministry.

    The Ministry announced that Jalal Mohammad Saqr died of the critical wounds he had sustained after being shot by Israeli occupation forces almost a week earlier in the refugee camp.

    Saqr, 21, a volunteer paramedic with PRCS, had sustained wounds while evacuating casualties in an Israeli drone airstrike on a house in the camp last Saturday, which resulted in killing two people and injuring over 20 others.

    Abbas faces backlash for skipping Haniyeh’s funeral after attending Peres’s


    Middle East Monitor reports: A number of activists expressed their objections in the media on Friday to the absence of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas from the funeral of the elected Palestinian Prime Minister and head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, in the Qatari capital, Doha.

    The activists criticized Abbas’s absence from Haniyeh’s funeral after he attended the funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres. However, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Abbas sent Deputy Chair of the Fatah Movement Mahmoud Al-Aloul and Secretary of the Central Committee of the movement Jibril Rajoub to Doha to participate in the funeral.

    U.S. forces move toward Israel as Iran threatens to attack

    Washington Post reports: The U.S. military is repositioning assets and moving additional forces into the Middle East and Europe to defend against a potential attack on Israel by Iran, U.S. officials said.

    Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of additional Navy destroyers and cruisers, both with offensive and defensive ballistic missile capabilities, as the Pentagon also takes steps to beef up land-based missile defense, Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spokeswoman, said in a statement Friday evening.

    An additional squadron of fighter jets also will be deployed to the Middle East to reinforce defensive air support, she said.

    They will be added to the “broad range of capabilities the U.S. military maintains in the region.”

    The moves come after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, and Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah vowed to retaliate after the killing this week of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and a senior Hezbollah commander, Fuad Shukr.

    Israel has not claimed responsibility, but U.S. officials privately acknowledge it was behind the killing. Washington was not apprised of the operation beforehand and had no role in it, officials have said.

    Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a Beirut suburb.

    The events have brought the region closer to full-blown conflict than perhaps at any point since the Gaza war began 10 months ago.

    Biden tells Netanyahu “not to count on Washington” in case of regional escalation: Axios

    Middle East Eye reports: US President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to rely on Washington’s support in case a regional escalation occurred, Axios has reported, citing unnamed US officials.

    In a “tough” phone call, the US president said his country would only help Israel against an expected Iranian attack, following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, but there should be no more escalation from Israel and progress towards a Gaza ceasefire.

    However, the White House has issued an official statement stating that Biden has “reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security against all threats from Iran, including its proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis”.

    The Axios story also cited three anonymous Israeli officials as saying there was tension during Biden’s meeting with Netanyahu in the Oval Office last week, in which Biden “raised his voice and said he wants a deal reached within a week to two weeks”.

    Archbishop of Canterbury urges respect for ICJ ruling against Israeli occupation

    Reuters reports: The Church of England’s spiritual head has urged governments to respect the findings of the United Nations top court that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal, saying the law should be upheld across the board, not in a “selective manner”.

    The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said in an advisory opinion last month that the occupation should be withdrawn as soon as possible.

    Justin Welby – who also heads the worldwide Anglican Communion – said in a statement the ICJ opinion had made it clear the occupation is “unlawful” and must end.

    “At a time when the world is marked by increasing violations of international law … it is imperative governments around the world reaffirm their unwavering commitment to all decisions by the ICJ, irrespective of the situation,” Welby said.

    He added that it was clear to him from many visits in recent decades the “system of military rule” imposed by successive Israeli governments in occupied Palestinian territory was one of “systemic discrimination”.

    Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport’s website is down, Israeli media says

    Middle East Eye reports: Israel’s Channel 12 has reported that the website of Israeli Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv is down because of immense pressure from travellers, amid the current tensions and cancellation of several countries’ airline flights to Israel.

    Several airlines have suspended their flights from and to Israel due to the ongoing tensions in the region

    Rashida Tlaib: A Profile in Courage

    Mark Dimondstein, president of the American Postal Workers Union and “proud Jewish-American,” writes in Common Dreams: During the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., famously said, “The time is always right to do what is right.”

    While she may have been a lone protest voice during Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress last week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) did what is right.

    Most mainstream news reporting either ridiculed her or only briefly mentioned her silent protest displaying a sign with “War Criminal” printed on one side and “Guilty of Genocide” on the other. Missing was any analysis as to whether she was right.

    While Rashida Tlaib, the one Palestinian-American in Congress, courageously protested inside the Capitol, thousands of us, including this union leader and proud Jewish-American, were peaceably demonstrating outside demanding a cease-fire, condemning Netanyahu’s crimes against humanity, and the U.S. government for continuing to send armaments to Israel.

    I am proud that my union, which deplored the Hamas actions of October 7 and condemned Israel’s barbaric response, called for the release of all hostages and advocates for a permanent cease-fire and for massive humanitarian aid. Recently, our union took further action by a vote at our national convention to demand that our government halt military aid to Israel and joined six other unions, representing over 6 million U.S. unionized workers, calling on President Biden to implement an arms embargo. As the largest arms supplier to Israel, the Biden-led U.S government should use its leverage to stop the carnage.

    We are outraged that the taxes of workers are being used to kill, maim, and slaughter innocent people.

    AIPAC says US must ‘stand with Israel’ against Iran

    Al Jazeera reports: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has suggested that Washington and its allies should support Israel in retaliating against a possible Iranian response to the killing of Haniyeh in Tehran.

    “As Iran plans an attack that could cause mass destruction in Israel and spark a regional war, America and our allies must work together to deter Iran by demonstrating that we will stand with Israel as it responds to any strikes by the Iranian regime and its proxies,” the pro-Israel lobby group said in a message to supporters.

    AIPAC has spent tens of millions of dollars in recent US elections to help defeat candidates critical of Israel.

Abbas faces backlash for skipping Haniyeh’s funeral after attending Peres’s Middle East Monitor reports: A number of activists expressed their objections in the media on Friday to the absence of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas from the funeral of the elected Palestinian Prime Minister and head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, in the Qatari capital, Doha. The activists criticized Abbas’s absence from Haniyeh’s funeral after he attended the funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres. However, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Abbas sent Deputy Chair of the Fatah Movement Mahmoud Al-Aloul and Secretary of the Central Committee of the movement Jibril Rajoub to Doha to participate in the funeral. U.S. forces move toward Israel as Iran threatens to attack Washington Post reports: The U.S. military is repositioning assets and moving additional forces into the Middle East and Europe to defend against a potential attack on Israel by Iran, U.S. officials said. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the deployment of additional Navy destroyers and cruisers, both with offensive and defensive ballistic missile capabilities, as the Pentagon also takes steps to beef up land-based missile defense, Sabrina Singh, a Pentagon spokeswoman, said in a statement Friday evening. An additional squadron of fighter jets also will be deployed to the Middle East to reinforce defensive air support, she said. They will be added to the “broad range of capabilities the U.S. military maintains in the region.” The moves come after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, and Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah vowed to retaliate after the killing this week of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and a senior Hezbollah commander, Fuad Shukr. Israel has not claimed responsibility, but U.S. officials privately acknowledge it was behind the killing. Washington was not apprised of the operation beforehand and had no role in it, officials have said. Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike in a Beirut suburb. The events have brought the region closer to full-blown conflict than perhaps at any point since the Gaza war began 10 months ago. Biden tells Netanyahu “not to count on Washington” in case of regional escalation: Axios Middle East Eye reports: US President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to rely on Washington’s support in case a regional escalation occurred, Axios has reported, citing unnamed US officials. In a “tough” phone call, the US president said his country would only help Israel against an expected Iranian attack, following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, but there should be no more escalation from Israel and progress towards a Gaza ceasefire. However, the White House has issued an official statement stating that Biden has “reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security against all threats from Iran, including its proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis”. The Axios story also cited three anonymous Israeli officials as saying there was tension during Biden’s meeting with Netanyahu in the Oval Office last week, in which Biden “raised his voice and said he wants a deal reached within a week to two weeks”. Archbishop of Canterbury urges respect for ICJ ruling against Israeli occupation Reuters reports: The Church of England’s spiritual head has urged governments to respect the findings of the United Nations top court that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal, saying the law should be upheld across the board, not in a “selective manner”. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said in an advisory opinion last month that the occupation should be withdrawn as soon as possible. Justin Welby – who also heads the worldwide Anglican Communion – said in a statement the ICJ opinion had made it clear the occupation is “unlawful” and must end. “At a time when the world is marked by increasing violations of international law … it is imperative governments around the world reaffirm their unwavering commitment to all decisions by the ICJ, irrespective of the situation,” Welby said. He added that it was clear to him from many visits in recent decades the “system of military rule” imposed by successive Israeli governments in occupied Palestinian territory was one of “systemic discrimination”. Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport’s website is down, Israeli media says Middle East Eye reports: Israel’s Channel 12 has reported that the website of Israeli Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv is down because of immense pressure from travellers, amid the current tensions and cancellation of several countries’ airline flights to Israel. Several airlines have suspended their flights from and to Israel due to the ongoing tensions in the region Rashida Tlaib: A Profile in Courage Mark Dimondstein, president of the American Postal Workers Union and “proud Jewish-American,” writes in Common Dreams: During the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., famously said, “The time is always right to do what is right.” While she may have been a lone protest voice during Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress last week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) did what is right. Most mainstream news reporting either ridiculed her or only briefly mentioned her silent protest displaying a sign with “War Criminal” printed on one side and “Guilty of Genocide” on the other. Missing was any analysis as to whether she was right. While Rashida Tlaib, the one Palestinian-American in Congress, courageously protested inside the Capitol, thousands of us, including this union leader and proud Jewish-American, were peaceably demonstrating outside demanding a cease-fire, condemning Netanyahu’s crimes against humanity, and the U.S. government for continuing to send armaments to Israel. I am proud that my union, which deplored the Hamas actions of October 7 and condemned Israel’s barbaric response, called for the release of all hostages and advocates for a permanent cease-fire and for massive humanitarian aid. Recently, our union took further action by a vote at our national convention to demand that our government halt military aid to Israel and joined six other unions, representing over 6 million U.S. unionized workers, calling on President Biden to implement an arms embargo. As the largest arms supplier to Israel, the Biden-led U.S government should use its leverage to stop the carnage. We are outraged that the taxes of workers are being used to kill, maim, and slaughter innocent people. AIPAC says US must ‘stand with Israel’ against Iran Al Jazeera reports: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has suggested that Washington and its allies should support Israel in retaliating against a possible Iranian response to the killing of Haniyeh in Tehran. “As Iran plans an attack that could cause mass destruction in Israel and spark a regional war, America and our allies must work together to deter Iran by demonstrating that we will stand with Israel as it responds to any strikes by the Iranian regime and its proxies,” the pro-Israel lobby group said in a message to supporters. AIPAC has spent tens of millions of dollars in recent US elections to help defeat candidates critical of Israel. RECOMMENDED READING ABOUT AIPAC: The Guardian: AFP must investigate Israel’s killing of Zomi Frankcom after quest for truth and justice goes nowhere Al Jazeera: Thousands mourn Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at funeral prayer Al Jazeera: Gaza and the death of Western journalism STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – AUGUST 2: Palestinian death toll from October 7 – August 2: at least 40,071* (39,550 in Gaza* – 11,445 women (30%), 16,251 children as of July 22. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.] This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 591 in the West Bank (~140 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 46,848 Palestinian deaths. Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Ralph Nader earlier estimated 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 18 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition**. About 1.7 million, or 75% of Gaza’s population are currently displaced. 2.15 million (out of total population of 2.3 million) are projected to face Crisis or worse levels of food insecurity. Palestinian injuries from October 7 – August 2: at least 96,548 (including at least 91,280 in Gaza and 5,420 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how man Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.] Reported Israeli death toll from October 7 – August 2: ~1,486 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 331 military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 16 in the West Bank) and~8,730 injured. Times of Israel reports: The IDF listed 41 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents – nearly 16%. NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries in Israel on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers. *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.** Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.
