The Truthful Group From the followers of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
لَا يَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ

(صحيح البخاري)

Rasulullah S.A.W declared:
“there is always a group from my followers that stays with the truth, until they return to the presence of Allah, they will always be there and be noticeable.” (Shahih Bukhari)

Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

All the Praise be to Allah The King of The Earth and Sky, The Ultimate and Eternal Authority, The Most Caring towards all His servants and creatures throughout the course of time and era, The Only One who guides all of them to go through life, who takes a good care of them through the sunshine and the moonlight, the land and the ocean, and all the servants in this world is the sign of God’s gentleness. Has risen the beauty and magnificent of Allah in each passing time, has risen the gentleness of Allah through each course of time and era, has risen the charisma of Allah in anytime and any situation. To those who are willing to think, they will find The Light of God’s Glory in each passing time and second, and every single breath they take is the sign of God’s Love, and every beat of their heart calls each of the servant to recognize Allah, Who gives them life, Who gives life to their heart with more than 100.000X beats each day in order to support any kind of human’s moves and activities.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
This heart beat belongs to Rabbul Alamin and we are not the creator. The tongue we use to speak is not ours, it is God’s Blessing. And all activities in life we practice each day and night are the calling from Allah to make us wanting Him and reaching His Love, reaching His Gentleness, reaching out His eternal Blessings, eternal pleasures, eternal magnificence, eternal glory, and the peak of all kind of Blessings from Allah, the Love from Allah, the Gentleness from Allah which opens up the door of happiness in this world and the life after. And The Owner of The Happiness in this world and the life after is Allah.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
Allah S.W.T declared, “Qul huwallahu ahad” say it, know it, understand it, study it, realize it and contemplate on it, and get the Light of Glory from the words He is Allah The Only God; QS. Al Ikhlas: 1. Only Him (Allah) The Most Being while the rest of it is not eternal. All the other things but Allah is in essence does not exist although it looks like it does exist, because their existence depends on The Most Being. Allah exists long before the other things exist, and Allah, The Only God continues living when all other things vanish. My beloved audience, this first sentence of Allah’s commandment goes through the heart of tauhid, giving the comprehension that He (Allah) is The Only God, there is no one or none of other creatures is similar to Him. And when we study further the meaning behind this sentence, there will be a light of tauhid which will guide us towards peace and tranquility. “Alaa bidzikrillah tathma’innulquluub,” by remembering Allah, our heart will become calm; QS. Ar-Rad: 28. And be well aware that Allah is The Only God. The Only God to be loved, The Only God to be longed for, The Only God to be glorified, The Only God to be worshipped, The Only God to be expected, He is (Allah).

“Allahusshamad” Allah is Ilah in which all kind of matter is depending upon Him; QS. Al Ikhlas: 2. Al Imam Ath-thabari alaihi rahmatullah explained that the meaning of “ashshamad” is something that doesn’t eat and drink and doesn’t look like any creatures. In other interpretation, Imam Ath-thabari quoted the meaning of “ashshamad” as something that doesn’t change compares to any creature that always changes. From small to big, from young to old, etc. Allah stays as The Most Unchanged. Al Imam Ibn Katsir explained in his interpretation, quoting one of the meanings of the word “ashshamad” as nurun yatala’ala’: the glowing light. “Allahusshamad” Allah The Most Unchanged and always exists and is in a form of glowing light magnificently.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
But it doesn’t mean that Allah is in the form of light. Because we could only identify the light known by eyes under proper lighting and vision. What about Allah as the glowing light that couldn’t be seen by the blind people and couldn’t be seen by mankind, what kind of glowing light that is invisible? Indeed the meaning of glowing light here is the light of happiness, the light of beauty, the light of peace that lights up the life of His servants, and it is far more dignified than the meaning of light that we all could identify. This glowing and bright light will soothe the soul with the most comforting conditions, forgive many mistakes and sins and elevate our level to the noblest state. It will also remove sinful behaviors from our soul and generate noble behaviors, encourage our willingness to perform silent prayer and bow down in prayers, invite all mankind to keep on getting closer towards His presence and this is The Only Brightest Light and The Most Eternal One.

“Lam yalid wa lam yuulad; Walam yakullahu kufuwan ahad,” He doesn’t give birth to any child neither does he have any parents; And nothing is similar to Allah; QS. Al Ikhlas : 3-4. The Most Oneness and The Most Eternal. As written in Shahih Bukhari, one of the comrades informed against someone who always recited Al Ikhlas. When this person was asked why, he replied, “Li annahaa sifaturrahman” because Al Ikhlas is the character of Allah The Most Loving One, I love to read it, and study about its meaning, it definitely made me yearn for Allah even more, whom indeed The Most Oneness and no other creatures has such characteristic as The Most Oneness other than Rabbul Alamin The Only God. So I love reciting it”. Thus Rasul S.A.W declared, “akhbiruuh innallah yuhibbuh” inform him that Allah loves him. Because he loves to call the Name of Allah The Only God, because he is happy to call the Name of Allah, pronounce the characteristic of Allah, keep repeating it because he is longing for Allah. My beloved audience, this is The Most Magnificent who values the lips and soul that always pronounce His Name and remember Him. The Prophet S.A.W has announced “akhbiruuh innallah yuhibbuh” inform him that Allah loves him. Subhanallah!! Allah’s Love has been announced by The Prophet S.A.W, that Allah loves that person. And from where this person knows about the nobility of Surah Al Ikhlas? Certainly from the person being loved most by Allah, Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. The more we dig into the secret of the magnificence of The Prophet S.A.W’s guidance, the closer we get to the gate of Allah’s Love. Therefore learn to know about Muhammad Rasulullah S.AW.

As written in Shahih Bukhari, Allah S.W.T declared in hadits qudsiy, one of the servants committed sins and he recited istighfar and repented of his sins. Allah S.W.T declared 15.53, “fa’alima abdiy anna lahu Rabban yaghfiruudzzunuuba wa ya’khudz bih, ghafartu li ‘abdiy” My servant, he knows he has committed sins then he regretted it and asked for My forgiveness. He (Allah) is the closest One to us, He has the most faithful Love for us, He has the most magnificent Love for us. We recognize His incessant Love in each and every second of our life, this is the real proof of Allah’s Love. But when we betray Allah by committing sins and mistakes, and when these traitors recite istighfar and ask for His forgiveness, The Most Merciful answers, “My servant knows there is God who will always forgive him, he knows My Love and Mercy, hence I forgive My servant.”

My beloved audience being glorified by Allah,
Is there anyone better than Allah? Isn’t Allah S.W.T giving all these blessings to those who are faithful to Him and to those who are not faithful to Him. And Allah still awaits those sinners who are always challenging His anger, to return to majesty and can reach for His Love. The Love which is always being deceived by the servant all the time, and anytime they keep on knocking the door of Allah’s anger. If they repent, The Most Merciful grants his repentance and the most magnificent greeting is the greeting from Allah towards His servants who repent. Therefore The Prophet S.A.W, as written in Shahih Bukhari, repented more than 100X each day. Why? Because he S.A.W wants to reach the level of those repentant although he S.A.W has reached the highest level amongst mankind, but he S.A.W knows how great Allah’s love is towards those who repent. If the person who never committed sins always wanted to repent, may all of us be given the quality for always asking for His forgiveness.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
“Innallaha yuhibbuttawwaabiin wa yuhibbul muthathahhiriin,” Allah loves those who like to repent. But some of us find it very hard to repent, why? because we cannot leave all our sins yet. Indeed by repenting from the sins, we might be able to leave them behind while asking Allah for strength in order to be protected from those sins, thus we have reached the dignity of repentance (taubat). Repentance means feeling hatred towards sins, being regretful, and never wanting to commit sins anymore. If again we are trapped in sins in the future, do not ever get bored of performing taubat, and not the opposite, keep conducting sins. We should get bored of conducting sins because we keep regretting it, and not the other way around, committing too many sins and eventually getting bored of performing taubat. Raise your level towards the level of those who always repent and get bored of sins. Overcome all those sins by performing numerous taubat. 1 drop, 2 drops of repenting light until it becomes an ocean of taubat and Allah will open up the door towards His Love, or else you will fail to see the true happiness in this world and the life after. You will fall into the fire of hell instead.

Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah,
We have come to this noble hadits, as written in shahih bukhari: there is always a group from my followers that stays with the truth, until they return to the presence of Allah, they will always be there and be noticeable. Al Imam Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani in his book Fathul Baari bisyarh Shahih Bukhari wrote the meaning of this haidts, that there is a group from the followers of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, although these followers lean towards their self destruction and they become worse. The promise of The Prophet S.A.W, there will be a group of people from those who love Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W who still stand persistence. “wa hum dhaahiruun” they really exist and always be there and they never hide, they are always there. This is the promise of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W and this encourages all the majelis ta’lim and majelis dzikir which are built for the improvement of the followers of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W with the sincere intention to follow the guidance from The Prophet S.A.W, hence as promised by The Prophet S.A.W that this group really exist and noticeable. Therefore, each and every progress on the improvement of the society, in the name of the resurrection of dakwah of The Prophet S.A.W is the signs mentioned by The Prophet S.A.W and we do hope this majelis is one of the core news mentioned by The Prophet S.A.W, “that amongst my followers this group will always be there,” and may this majelis will always exist. From the era of The Prophet S.A.W to the defenders of Rasul S.A.W, to shabatul kiram until the tabi’in, tabiut tabi’in, ashlafunnaashalihin until our era and later on our offspring’s time in the future, may always be guarded by Allah within the secret of dignity of the devotees of Muhammad Rasulullah S.A.W.

My beloved audience being glorified by Allah,
I will not talk much when giving tausiyah, but there are few things I need to clarify. Some of jama’ah are questioning the rules on wearing jacket with the wording “Majelis Rasulullah S.A.W” while entering the toilet? If the words are written in Arabic, it will be better not to wear it when entering toilet because there is the Name of Allah S.W.T attached. Some Islamic clerics consider it as haram (forbidden) and some others consider it as makruh syiddatulkaraahah (must be avoided and is very much abhorred) to take the word ‘Allah’ into the toilet or to sit on it or to step on it. But if it is written in Latin word (or any other languages other than Arabic), this is not mentioned in syari’atul muthahharah. (maa yusammal harf) Syari’ah islamiyyah in making a decision about the Islamic laws never consider any other languages but Arabic, because Islamic language is Arabic language. Therefore if it is written in any other language beside Arabic is not considered forbidden. Thus I allow it, because it is written in Latin words, while these words (and any other words other than Arabic) are not considered as words in syari’ah law, therefore these Latin words are not under the rule of such law. Hence, such jacket with the words Majelis Rasulullah S.A.W in Latin words only and without any Arabic letters is allowed. This is the matter of the jacket, my beloved audience being glorified by Allah.

Other matter is on the hadits Rasul S.A.W as written in Shahih Bukhari that I mentioned during my speech in Kwitang sometime ago. Someone named Nuaiman radiyallahu anhum had always been punished and punished because he never stopped drinking alcohol. When he was cursed by one of the comrades, Rasul S.A.W said, “don’t you curse him because in the name of Allah I witness, in the name of Allah that he loves Allah and His Rasul”. Rasul S.A.W admitted the love of that person, although he was a drunker. He had certainly been punished and received punishment for being drunk. Though the punishment was still there and should be executed but his love towards Allah and Rasul were accepted by The Prophet S.A.W. The meaning is not only that the drunker may love Allah and Rasul, his love will still be accepted by Allah and His Rasul, and he is accepted by Allah and Rasul S.A.W, but what about the punishment? If not in this world, the punishment will be executed in his grave, or in the world of barzah, or in yaumal qiyamah. But his love is still accepted, such a great character of Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. For those who are still in denial regarding this hadits may replay the VCD when I delivered it in Kwitang.

And the third one is to deliver the yearning message from our Noble Guru Al Musnid Al Hafidz Al Habib Umar bin Hafidz. The other day I just returned from Yemen and he extended his greeting to all of audience here and always pray for us Moslem people especially in this country and he also call upon Moslems here to be strong and not to be too much influenced by what we have experienced in this country, be it on the election days or others. Carry on waking in peace and never be challenged by enemies to do the bad thing. He also mentioned about the slander towards Majelis Rasulullah S.A.W, that the leadership should be under the Ahlul Bait Rasulullah S.A.W, he (Al Musnid Al Hafidz Al Habib Umar bin Hafidz) asked me to extend this message, kindly extend this message to all jama’ah that it is not appropriate at all for Ahlul Bait Rasul S.A.W to fight for leadership. This is his message. It would be better that they protect each other, from the citizen up to the authorities. It is not appropriate if ulama and ahlulbait Rasul S.A.W join and fight for such power, let the authorities stay in power. We, the Islamic clerics and ahlulbait Rasul S.A.W support both the citizen and the authorities. These are the messages from him and he also extended his greeting to all of us, may Allah S.W.T raise our level to the highest and may this noble majelis keep on teaching us the secrets of blessings, love and repentance in each and every breath we take, each and every day.

Rabbiy, kindly pour onto us the happiness in the world and the life after, the peace in the world and beyond, prosperity in the world and beyond. Kindly forgive us from all sins and mistakes. Ya Rahman Ya Rahim, Ya Dzaljalali Wal Ikram O’ The Oneness, O’ The Most Everlasting, O’ The Brightest Light, O’ The One who always brightens our souls with the most noble characters. Tonight we perform silent prayer calling Your Name, O’ The Brightest who brightens our souls with dignity, O’ The Brightest who brightens our days with happiness, O’ The One Who is Always Bright and lights up the whole world with generosity, with magnificence and nobility, with forgiveness and gentleness.

Faquuluuu jamii’an (recite together) Ya Allah, Ya Allah..Ya Allah.. Ya Rahman Ya Rahim..Ya Allah..

Faquuluuu jamii'an (recite together) Laillahailallah Laillahailallah Laillahailallah Muhammadurrasulullah

Washollallahu ala Sayyidina Muhammad Nabiyyil Ummiy wa Shohbihi wa Sallam.

We continue with reciting prayer together in qasidah Ya Rahman Ya Rahim Farij A’lal Muslimin, in which our Noble Guru always suggests us and advises us to keep on praying for Moslem people. Within this prayer also we pray for a great leader to lead our country. In few weeks there will be a decision from God’s Blessing to choose the leader for this biggest Moslem country in the world. May there be a great leader, who brings peace, loves the faithful and religious people and a leader who suppress tyranny and fight for the weak and poor.
