"Provocative or Educational? Lesson from Hadith Jibril"
We talked about the five pillars of Islam, the six pillars of Iman, and Ihsan which means worshipping Allah as if we can see Him. Even though we can not see Him, He surely sees us.

عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، إذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ، شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ، لَا يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ، وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ. حَتَّى جَلَسَ إلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه و سلم . فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم الْإِسْلَامُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ، وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إنْ اسْتَطَعْت إلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا. قَالَ: صَدَقْت . فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ! قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ الْإِيمَانِ. قَالَ: أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاَللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ. قَالَ: صَدَقْت. قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ الْإِحْسَانِ. قَالَ: أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّك تَرَاهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاك. قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ السَّاعَةِ. قَالَ: مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنْ السَّائِلِ. قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَمَارَاتِهَا؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تَلِدَ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا، وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ. ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ، فَلَبِثْتُ مَلِيًّا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عُمَرُ أَتَدْرِي مَنْ السَّائِلُ؟. ‫‬قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِينَكُمْ ". [رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ]

.While we were one day sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes and with very black hair. No traces of journeying were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down close by the Prophet (ﷺ) rested his knees against the knees of the Prophet (ﷺ) and placed his palms over his thighs, and said: "O Muhammad! Inform me about Islam." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied: "Islam is that you should testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger (ﷺ), that you should perform salah (ritual prayer), pay the zakah, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House (the Ka`bah at Makkah), if you can find a way to it (or find the means for making the journey to it)." He said: "You have spoken the truth." We were astonished at his thus questioning him (ﷺ) and then telling him that he was right, but he went on to say, "Inform me about Iman (faith)." He (the Prophet) answered, "It is that you believe in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and in the Last Day, and in fate (qadar), both in its good and in its evil aspects." He said, "You have spoken the truth." Then he (the man) said, "Inform me about Ihsan." He (the Prophet) answered, "It is that you should serve Allah as though you could see Him, for though you cannot see Him yet He sees you." He said, "Inform me about the Hour." He (the Prophet) said, "About that the one questioned knows no more than the questioner." So he said, "Well, inform me about its signs." He said, "They are that the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted ones, the naked, the destitute, the herdsmen of the sheep (competing with each other) in raising lofty buildings." Thereupon the man went off. I waited a while, and then he (the Prophet) said, "O `Umar, do you know who that questioner was?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He said, "That was Jibril. He came to teach you your religion." [Muslim]

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISLAM AND IMAN
From the video above, Islam is about the five pillars of Islam, and Iman is about our beliefs in the six pillars of Iman. Mu'minin are surely Muslimin, but not all Muslimin are Mu'minin. Besides, we even shared our own experiences having non-Muslim friends. I gained a lot of new info about other religious cultures too! Before our usrah end, we discovered new knowledge about angels too.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Every now and then, we would come across news, research, and findings with regard to the state of the Earth, related environmental issues and how the world is affected by humankind's actions. We will then be compelled to make the right choices and to decide to act upon a matter that will benefit us and those around us.

Although such a calling of good work has surfaced in today's world, the encouragement for the well-being of our environment has long been mentioned and practised by our beloved Prophet s.a.w. more than 1400 years ago. In his actions and response to the environment, we can deduce that this planet we are living in is, in fact, our responsibility to care for it.

As narrated in a hadith, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said,

إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا فَيَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ
"The world is sweet and green, and verily Allah is going to install you as vicegerents in it in order to see how you act".
(Sahih Muslim)

Based on this hadith, one of the many lessons we can extract is that the Prophet s.a.w. showed much care and concern towards the environment and aimed at caring and protecting it wholeheartedly. Through this hadith, too, he reminds us how we are all vicegerents with a great duty to serve Allah s.w.t. With great powers and status comes great responsibility.

What better way for us to work towards taking care of the environment than through following the footsteps of our best example, our Prophet s.a.w.

Here are 5 things the Prophet s.a.w. taught us about the environment:

1. Conserve Our Resources as Much as Possible

Conservation of resources is an important practice to ensure the resources that we still have can be kept available and have much use for them for as long as possible. As the population of the world increases day by day, so does the consumption of the natural resources that we have. It is a natural increase but a necessary attempt to decrease its effects in the long term.

The practice of conservation does not only maintain the ecological balance, but it also may lead to the preservation of animal habitats and ecosystems. The practice of the Prophet s.a.w. with regard to conserving our resources can be seen through prophetic narrations. As narrated in a hadith, Anas ibn Malik r.a. reported,

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمُدِّ وَيَغْتَسِلُ بِالصَّاعِ إِلَى خَمْسَةِ أَمْدَادٍ
"The Prophet s.a.w. would perform ablution (wudhu) with one mudd (half a litre) and would perform a ritual bath with one sa' (about two litres), up to five mudd (two and a half litres)."
(Muttafaqun 'Alayh)

In this mentioned hadith, we notice how the Prophet s.a.w. was careful in utilising natural resources - as basic as water. Using a minimal amount of water wherever possible is encouraged and is a positive approach to our resources. Even so, it involves performing rituals for worship, such as the ablution ( wudhu') and obligatory bath ( ghusl). We are taught by the Prophet s.a.w. to practice moderation and use only what is needed and to avoid wastage.

In another hadith, Abdullah ibn Amr reported:

عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِسَعْدٍ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا السَّرَفُ يَا سَعْدُ قَالَ أَفِي الْوُضُوءِ سَرَفٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ عَلَى نَهْرٍ جَارٍ
Rasulullah s.a.w. passed by Sa'd while he was performing ablution. The Prophet said, "What is this extravagance?" Sa'd said, "Is there extravagance with water in ablution?" The Prophet sai d, "Yes, even if you were on the banks of a flowing river."
(Musnad Ahmad)

Wastage affects the environment greatly and could cause huge problems for the world and its inhabitants. As such, conserving what we can will help combat unnecessary wastage. This could also be practised in our daily food consumption and electricity usage across appliances, amongst others. Such efforts are a key part of climate change strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute greatly to global warming.

2. Practise Sustainable Consumption Whenever Possible

Surely, most of us have heard of the 3Rs; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Through this framework, we are reminded to use only what we need, reuse things for the same or new purpose and convert waste into useful products. The Prophet s.a.w. himself practised these sustainable approaches during his lifetime.

There are several narrations that the Prophet s.a.w. was seen to repair his shoes instead of discarding them at the first sight of its tear. The Prophet s.a.w. would also sew his clothes and advise his companions to sew their garments neatly.

As narrated in a hadith where Aisyah r.a., the wife of the Prophet s.a.w., was asked what the Prophet s.a.w. would do in the house. She replied to the inquirer:

مَا يَصْنَعُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ، يَخْصِفُ النَّعْلَ، وَيَرْقَعُ الثَّوْبَ، وَيَخِيطُ
"He did what one of you would do in his house. He mended sandals and patched garments and sewed."
(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad)

As seen from the hadith, it shows that even the noblest person on earth was mindful of his affairs and those around him. The daily items used had been fixed and mended along the way.

This does not necessarily mean we must use the same things until they wear out, but to look at how we can work towards sustainability. We have to be conscious of the things we use, buy, sell, create, and consume. This is important as consumers, human beings in general, tend to exert extreme stress on the planet and its resources.

It is important for us to look at ways on how we can get our hands on sustainable products and inventions, ones that prevent wear and tear for over a period. After all, it is a practice of our wise Prophet s.a.w, which dated many years back.

3. Plant Trees as A Means of Good Deeds

Trees and plants, in general, are seen in many areas of a country and also across many parts of the world. Trees are known to improve the quality of the air as well as water by absorbing pollutants, releasing oxygen, and reducing ozone levels and depletion. It also helps to reduce the temperature of the atmosphere by transpiring and providing shade for humans and animals alike.

Planting trees is a beneficial act, one that benefits many levels of the ecosystem and helps to preserve and care for the environment. The Prophet s.a.w. encouraged the cultivation of trees. As narrated in a hadith, Anas ibn Malik r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said,

مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا، أَوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا، فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ طَيْرٌ أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ، إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ
"There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as a charitable gift".
(Sahih Al-Bukhari)

The mentioned hadith demonstrates that every good work and beneficial deed done by any individual will be given a stipulated remuneration and reward. Such are examples of impactful activities. It may only be seen by the naked eye as one act of planting, but in return, it brings benefit to many in the long run.

It could be as direct as to how the birds, animals and humankind are able to benefit from the plantation, such as through its branches, barks, leaves and fruits. On the other hand, the indirect impacts would be caring for the environment, promoting the preservation of the Earth, and putting in a conscious effort to ensure the planet that we live in remains to be a home for many. The act of planting trees, as mentioned by the Prophet s.a.w, is regarded as a means of charity.

4. Care For The Animals and The Rest of Allah s.w.t.'s Creations

Amongst the important components and residents of the Earth, apart from humankind, are animals. All animals in nature have important roles to play in the ecosystem. They coexist and balance each other out to reduce negative impacts on the environment and unknowingly address issues of pollution, global warming and disturbances that cause drastic changes in ecosystems.

Considering that animals fulfil their roles to help care and save the planet, it is only right for us, as vicegerents on Earth, to do our part in caring for the environment. One of the ways that can help us achieve this objective is by caring for the animals and the creations of Allah s.w.t.

This matter has been highlighted by the Prophet s.a.w. As narrated in a hadith, Abu Hurairah r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. was asked about the rewards of serving animals. The Prophet s.a.w. then replied,

فِي كُلِّ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ
"There is a reward for serving any living being".
(Sahih Al-Bukhari)

The abovementioned hadith tells us how important it is to serve and care for the living beings on Earth - animals included. This can be justified by the clarification of the Prophet s.a.w. on the reward for doing such noble deeds.

The Earth is, in fact, a living organism and within it holds a million species of animals, plants, organisms, and the human race. And in our efforts to show our care and concern for the animals and other creations of Allah s.w.t, we are at the same time showing care for the environment and the Earth as a whole.

Taking care of the wellbeing of the creations of Allah s.w.t. affects the state of the environment as it ensures the welfare of the living beings to carry out their crucial responsibilities for the world we live in. Not only do we seek the rewards, but we also seek a peaceful, balanced, and healthy co-existence for the people of our time and for the future generations to come.

5. Keep The Environment Clean and Safe

In the pursuit of preserving the environment and fulfilling our obligations as vicegerents on Earth, keeping the environment clean and safe is part of the duty. Also known as environmental hygiene, it is an essential part of infection prevention and control, maintaining the emotional and mental stability of the inhabitants as well as our overall wellbeing and promoting higher productivity across many levels of the ecosystems.

There are in fact two sides to keeping the environment safe and clean. On one hand, it involves removing and discarding those which are dirty and harmful while on the other hand, it would be to maintain cleanliness and oversee the safety measures placed. Interestingly, the Prophet s.a.w. has taught us to be part of both. As narrated in a hadith, Abu Hurayrah r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said,

بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ، وَجَدَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ فَأَخَذَهُ، فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، فَغَفَرَ لَهُ
"While a man was walking along a path, he found a thorny branch of a tree on the way and removed it. Allah s.w.t. thanked him for that deed and forgave him".
(Sahih Al-Bukhari)

By way of the hadith, the Prophet s.a.w. emphasises the importance of removing whatever is deemed to be harmful when embarking on any path. Such importance has been emphasised alongside the rewards of Allah thanking and forgiving the doer of good.

Any individual may walk on a pathway and find a matter that either affects the cleanliness of the road or could potentially harm the subsequent people walking or commuting thereupon. But not everyone would actually have the will or capacity to remove the harm or at the very least, avoid leaving harmful trails along the way.

Despite the increase in environmental hazards, litter and debris, creating a clean and safe environment is a must and a responsibility for all. This could be done through small awareness efforts, showing by example, and making it a priority for everyone. Admittedly, at the end of the day, the place we are keeping clean and safe is for no one else but ourselves.

In Conclusion, Every Conscious Effort Matters

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. It is a collection of litter that ends up in oceans, seas, and other large bodies of water and is measured at an estimated 1.6 million square kilometres.

Any average person may be micro compared to the marine debris. But know that even such tiny individuals are significant in caring for the environment.

Even the tiniest of efforts can make an impact, can create change, and can affect the environment around them. Solely for the purpose that it is our responsibility to care for the wellbeing of the planet we are living in. As narrated in a hadith, 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar r.a. reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said,

أَلَا فَكُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ
"No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock".
(Muttafaqun 'Alayh)

It matters not the size of the problem at hand, but what weighs greater are the efforts that we consciously put in and take ownership of what we are responsible for. And what greater way to facilitate that than by the ways of the Prophet s.a.w, also known as his Sunnah, in which when we practice them, we will be rewarded immensely, loved by Allah s.w.t. greatly and fulfilling our duties as vicegerents on Earth responsibly.

Khusyu' Part 2 : Importance of Khusyu'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
​" Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar ..."
The adhan was resounded and Ali rushed for praying. Too many works to be finished for that day, so he decided to pray earlier.
​
After he make takbiratul ihram, his mind started to think about his work, and phone at the office, and many things he thought about. After doing a few rak'ah, he forgot how many rak'ah have done and he stucked. Because of that, he added a rak'ah and did a sujood sahwi. From the story, we know what is Ali's problem that causes of forgetting the rak'ah he made until need to add a rak'ah and sujood sahwi.

Yes, he is not khusyu' in his prayer. His mind was thinking about another thing until he fails to remember how many rak'ah has made. He rushed for praying is a good thing because he did not want to abandon his duty as Muslim. But if he abandoned the perfection of prayer is not a good thing. Unfortunately, Ali's problem also occurs among us almost every prayer time.

This can happen to every individual regardless the measure of knowledge in Islam. This is not about who are we but how we understand the meaning of prayer which is five prayers every day. Though we knew the rules of prayer, without khusyu', regularly we may forget how many rak'ah we have done or may be too rushing in prayer until abandoned things that must be taken care which is toma'ninah. So, to get the perfect prayer, we must be khusyu' in prayer.

What is Khusyu'?
There are many definitions of khusyu', according to Mufti Wilayah's website, Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah Rahimahullah said: "Khusyu' is the steadfast of the heart when facing Allah s.w.t., with humility and humbleness." Meanwhile, Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali Rahimahullah stated the definition of khusyu' is: "The origin of khusyu' comes from the softness of the heart, the calm, and submissive state of one's heart."

To attain khusyu' in prayer is a little bit difficult unless he really wants to. That is why Allah has mentioned that regarding the reward for those who attain khusyu' in Surah al Mu'minoon, verses 1-2, which means: "Successful indeed are the believers: Those who humble themselves (khusyu') in prayer."

The mufassirun (Quranic commentaries scholars) give several meaning of khusyu'. Imam al-Syaukani commented: "Khusyu' according to some scholars is the act of the heart, such the feeling of afraid and fearful. While others state that it is the actions of someone where he is calm, does not move too much during prayer, or does not do or think of anything unbeneficial in prayer." Accurately, khusyu' is defined as calm, serenity, tranquility, dignity, modesty, fear, and humble.

Why Khusyu' in Prayer is so Important?
Prayer is the second pillar of Islam and we as a Muslim need to worship in five times a day. Prayer in Islam is a way for the believers to communicate with Allah s.w.t.. It is an act of devotion, repentance, surrender, an expression of love, and servitude to Allah who is our creator and sustainer. It is also the key to success in our life in here and hereafter like in the verses mentioned before. As a Muslim must believe everything that Allah said and this is a true promise that Allah gives to His believer as stated in the Quran means: "It is a promise of Allah, and Allah never fails in His promise." (Surah ar-Rum: 6)

Khusyu' will contribute factor for the acceptance of prayer. As the example above, Ali could not be khusyu' because he remembered other things than Allah during his prayer. He could not feel the real meaning of prayer when he did not concentrate in prayer. Uthman reported Allah's messenger as saying: "When the time for a prescribed prayer comes, if any Muslim observes proper ablution, humility and bowing, it will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he has not committed a major sin, and that means for all time." All the benefit and reward are useless if he is not devout in his prayer.

​ How to Attain Khusyu' in Prayer?
The following are several ways that could help someone to attain khusyu' in prayer.

1. Niat (intention). According to the lecturer at Islamic Science University of Malaysia, Ashwaq Kenali, said the most important to attain khusyu' is niat. If someone only prays without having intention to be khusyu', then his prayers are just in vain. Narrated by Umar al-Khattab that the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said: "(The values of) an action depends on the intention behind it. A man will be rewarded only for what he intended. The emigration of one who emigrates for the sake of Allah and His Messenger is for the sake of Allah and His Messenger; and the emigration of one who emigrates for gaining a worldly advantage or for marrying a woman is for what he has emigrated." (Sahih Muslim)

2. Remembering death. Narrated by al-Baihaqi in Al-Zuhd which the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. stated: "Remember death in prayer, for someone who remembers death in his prayer would beautify his prayer. Pray as if it is the last prayer for you. Remember, for there will be a time when you would be forced to leave it (unable to pray due to sickness or being too old)."

3. Does not perform the prayer hurriedly and quickly. This act without toma'ninah in ruku' and sujood is forbidden by the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.. In a hadith from Abu Hurairah r.a., he said: "Allah's Messenger s.a.w. entered the mosque and a person followed him. The man prayed and went to the Prophet and greeted him. The Prophet s.a.w. returned the greeting and said to him: 'Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.'" (Sahih al-Bukhari)

4. Understanding the meaning of the verses recited during prayer. If a servant knows and understand everything that he recited in his prayer, it will help him in attaining khusyu'. In addition, it is also more appropriate when someone facing to Allah s.w.t., so his prayer are not just the movements without understand anything verses recited.
