Tuntutan Mencari Yang Halal

Sharing is caring ...

Agama Islam amat mengambil berat tentang makanan yang dimakan oleh umatnya. Justeru, adalah menjadi kewajiban bagi setiap orang Islam untuk mengambil makanan yang halal lagi baik.

1. Mengapa Halal?

Berikut dinyatakan sebab-sebab mengapa kita dituntut untuk makan makanan yang halal.

a. Perintah Tuhan

Sebab utama mengapa perlu memakan makanan yang halal ialah kerana memang itu sudah diperintahkan Tuhan kepada kita.

Di dalam Al-Quran, Allah berfirman maksudnya:
“Wahai sekalian manusia ! Makanlah daripada apa yang ada di bumi, yang halal yang baik (halalan tayyiban)".
(Surah al-Baqarah: 168)

Dalam ayat yang lain, Allah menyatakan:
“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman ! Makanlah dari benda-benda yang baik (yang halal) yang telah Kami berikan kepada kamu". (Surah al-Baqarah: 172)

Rasulullah menegaskan juga di dalam sabdanya: “Mencari yang halal adalah fardhu (wajib) bagi setiap orang Islam.” (Riwayat Dailami)


b. Mengelakkan daripada azab Neraka

Memakan makanan yang halal boleh mengelakkan seseorang itu daripada ditimpa azab di Akhirat.

Maksud Hadis: Daging yang tumbuh daripada makanan yang haram, maka neraka lebih layak baginya. (Riwayat Thabrani)

Maksud Hadis: "Tidak akan memasuki syurga daging yang tumbuh daripada yang haram". (Riwayat Ahmad)


c. Doa makbul

Orang yang makan makanan halal, doanya makbul berbeza dengan orang yang makan makanan haram, terhijab doanya dengan Tuhan.

Rasulullah bersabda:
“Betapa banyaknya orang yang rambutnya kusut-masai, badannya berdebu lantaran terlalu lama dalam pelayaran, makanannya dari yang haram dan pakaiannya dari yang haram, dan perutnya dipenuhi dari yang haram, diangkatkan kedua tangannya seraya berdoa: Wahai Tuhan! Wahai Tuhan! Bagaimana boleh Tuhan mengabulkan doanya.” (Riwayat Muslim)

Rasulullah bersabda; “Baguskanlah makanan engkau nescaya adalah engkau orang yang diperkenankan permintaan.” (Riwayat Thabrani)


d. Diterima Amalan

Memakan makanan yang halal akan menjadi sebab amalan diterima. Sebaliknya makanan yang haram itu, membuatkan amalan kita tidak diterima Tuhan.

Sabda Rasulullah: “Demi (Allah) yang diri Muhammad ditanganNya, sesungguhnya seorang hamba yang memasukkan sesuap makanan haram ke dalam perutnya, tiada diterima Allah amal darinya empat puluh hari.” (Riwayat Thabrani)


e. Hati bersih

Memakan makanan yang halal akan menjadi sebab kepada pembentukan hati seseorang. Ini sepertimana disabdakan oleh Rasulullah: “Hati yang bersih ditempa daripada makanan yang bersih (halal).”


2. Memakan Makanan Dari Orang Bertaqwa

Telah dinukilkan oleh Imam Ghazali dalam kitabnya Ihya Ulumuddin, bab Adab Makan, satu hadis bermaksud: “Hendaklah kamu makan daripada makanan orang yang bertaqwa.”

Hadis ini jelas memberitahu kita bahawa apabila kita hendak makan, sebaiknya kita makan makanan yang disediakan oleh orang yang bertaqwa ataupun orang soleh. Mengapa dianjurkan sebegitu? Ini adalah kerana:

a. Makanan itu jadi berkat atas kerana tangan orang yang membuatnya itu adalah orang bertaqwa.

b. Makanan itu sudah pasti halal, kerana tidak mungkin orang bertaqwa itu menyediakan makanan yang haram atau mendapatkan makanan itu daripada sumber yang haram.

c. Makanan itu disediakan dengan menyebut nama Allah. Kebiasaan orang bertaqwa memulakan pekerjaan dengan menyebut nama Allah. Hadis: “Setiap pekerjaan yang tiada disebut dengan nama Allah, maka hilang berkatnya.”

today is sunday!

salam..

hmm.. its been a while i have disappeared, isn't it? So many things had happened. No matter what, life is still as usual...me and my family. The only diff is about the school holiday. We went back to my hub's hometown early this month, and had a night stay at Taiping for the Zoo Safari and Taiping's enlightened. Nothing special, jusr for kids to an exposure.. and atleast, we have been there.. ;p

Start from this school hoiday, we sent harith to Tahfiz and fortunately hakimi wanna join his brother (btw, he is only 5 yrs old kid). Juz let him, atleast he has early exposure and may bring him to a better life path...InsyaAllah. also had enrolled Hakimi for his Kumon class. i dun expect that the centre will give the student worksheet for daily homework... Goodness, all this while m a lazy mother, but now i have to sit with him, at least for 30 mins daily to finish his worksheet, reading an make him familiar with those words.

As for Hadif, most of his time were at my mum's. better for him to stay there, as he doesn't like to be at the baby sitter's. And yesterday, me and hub went back to Klang just to fetch hadif also the Vision set that my mum bought for me at Langkawi. Hehe.. Alhamdullilah, not to pay anything coz it was for my birthday present from my lovely Daddy.. ;p.

Also not forgotten, my hub buy me a netbook + desktop set yesterday at Digital Mall. Thanx Hunny! We were suppose to buy them at Low Yat but as usual the hubby will foresee many event that could happen.. (eg park the car at BTS.. and the wifey will go crazy seeing the sales and etc..). So at last, we headed to PJ, Digitall Mall. Not bad tho'. Not as big as Low Yatt at least we can narrow our navigation and searching. Lesser foot step and hub buy me carrot slice and cappucino blended from SC while waiting for the setting. Oh, that is my fav beside starbuck Frappucino! The netbook that we buy is a family of Eee PC by Asus and the desktop set is from e-machine by Acer. I need to buy a new one as my old lappy had made weird sound (maybe the hard disk) and got screen prob. That's the main reason why I request those gadget from my dear Hubby. Also not to forget, i want to have the netbook, so I can bring to anywhere... (though the reason is not justifiable..., why? a normal lappy cannot have the function...?) anyway, as usual, my hub said m a lady with many excuses and reasons when comes buying new item!)haha... that's normal women will do, i think..:p

Why I bought Asus Eee PC.. ? to be exact the 1005HA seashell.. (i guess so..)Fyi, Asus netbook's has many model and i even read in one forum which they commented, Asus had produced the netbook range faster than Baskin Robbin's can come out with their new flavor). B4 this, I had jumping from one website to another, reading forums, and etc just to get to know the latest and the best netbook for 2009- 2010. Thought of buying Dell online, but unfortunately, i dun satisfy with the memory. one of my fried had bought Toshiba netbook, and she is happy with it.. hmm.. thought of buying that too.. but one of my Phd colleague suggested me Asus, he said Asus is the most reliable one. Sorry, Malaysians is not so into that, knowing Asus netbook range are the top..many website rated Asus as the top netbook, b4 Toshiba and the others. So when we had reached Digitall Mall, I still indecisively which netbook to buy.. either Toshiba, Asus and dell. Acer is of course out of my list. I pray in my heart for Allah(of course, aeverything revolved Allah, rite.., so why dont i ask Allah to give me some light..?). My heart said that I really want Asus netbook (though i know many people will ask why Asus, and received the first comment from my Sis....) Yeah.. they are not so familiar with Asus, despite,the most reliable and top among the line. U try google best netbook or what so eva, and Asus range is just compulsory to be with those.

Hmm.. what am i writing now..? not so informative, but well, m writing juz to kill my time waiting for my dear husband to come and fetch me at ct camp. As usual, from my in law's, Hulu Langat...So buhsan seating in this PhD room.. tryin really hard to read... wakaka but end up with this blog. At least i have taken less time facebooking.. i realized m into fb so stop being addicted!!

bosannye hari ni..!!

salam..

Sifat Tawaduk adalah keperibadian para Nabi dan Rasul

Oleh Mohd Adid Ab Rahman

SEBUAH keluarga diselimuti suasana damai atau masyarakat yang hidup dalam harmoni, sejahtera dan permai menjadi dambaan semua insan. Namun, jika masyarakat memiliki sifat bakhil, sombong, pasti suasana kehidupan seperti diharapkan itu tidak tercapai.

Oleh itu, setiap anggota masyarakat harus insaf hidup bermasyarakat perlu mempunyai sifat mahmudah yang ditunjukkan junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW dan antara sifat terpuji itu ialah tawaduk. Tawaduk dari segi bahasa bermakna merendahkan diri, tidak angkuh atau sombong. Dari segi istilah membawa maksud tunduk dan akur kepada segala kebenaran dan menerima kebenaran itu.

Sifat tawaduk sinonim dengan keperibadian anbia, Rasulullah SAW dan sahabatnya. Inilah pakaian jiwa orang beriman dan taat dengan segala perintah Allah. Bagaimanakah mengenali tanda sifat tawaduk? Syeikh Ahmad Ibn ‘Athaillah dalam kitab al-Hikam menyenaraikan empat tanda iaitu:

l Tidak marah apabila dimaki.

l Tidak benci apabila dicela atau dituduh sombong.

l Tidak haloba pangkat dan darjat di kalangan orang ramai.

l Tidak rasa dirinya termasuk orang yang disegani dalam hati setiap orang.

Keempat-empat tanda dikemukakan di atas membuktikan sifat merendah diri lahir daripada keinsafan melihat kebesaran Allah dan sifat-Nya, bukan dibuat-buat atau lakonan semata-mata. Ekoran itu, apapun yang datang menggoda, dia tetap dengan tawaduknya kerana kefahaman yang sebati dalam batinnya meyakini merendah diri bukan menggambarkan kebodohan dan kelemahan seseorang bahkan Allah mengangkat darjatnya ke tempat yang tinggi di sisi-Nya.

Rasulullah SAW pernah mengungkapkan yang bermaksud: “Dan tidak ada seorang pun yang bersifat tawaduk kerana Allah melainkan Allah mengangkat darjatnya.” (Hadis riwayat Muslim dan At-Tarmizi) Namun ada masyarakat hari ini yang terpesong dalam memahami sifat tawaduk. Mereka hanya memahami tawaduk daripada aspek gaya bercakap lemah-lembut yang menyejukkan hati mendengarnya, bergaul ada batasannya, berpakaian menutup aurat walaupun lusuh dan jika mengambil makanan begitu tertib, berjalan mesti sopan dan tunduk ke bawah berdasarkan firman Allah yang bermaksud: “Dan hamba (Allah) Ar-Rahman (yang diredai-Nya) ialah mereka yang berjalan di bumi dengan sopan santun dan apabila orang berkelakuan kurang adab, hadapkan kata-kata kepada mereka, mereka menjawab dengan perkataan yang selamat daripada perkara yang tidak diingini.” (Surah al-Furqan, ayat 63) Mereka hanya faham sebatas itu saja. Dalam soal lain seperti muamalah, pentadbiran dan ekonomi mereka tidak mengikut acuan syariat Islam sebaliknya menurut telunjuk nafsu sendiri. Gambaran tadi sebenarnya amat jauh daripada mencapai tahap tawaduk.

Tawaduk yang menepati kehendak Islam mengikut Ibn Al-Qayyim ialah tawaduk kepada agama iaitu mematuhi segala perintah Allah, meyakini apa saja yang dibawa Rasulullah SAW.

Sifat tawaduk Rasulullah SAW sepanjang langkah kehidupannya amat mengagumkan. Walaupun Baginda berpangkat Rasul, mulia di kalangan masyarakat dan menjadi insan paling dikasihi Allah, baginda tidak segan dan sombong melakukan pekerjaan dilakukan orang bawahan seperti mengangkat batu ketika membina Masjid Madinah dan menggali parit dalam peperangan Khandaq.

Pada waktu lain, Rasulullah SAW menerima permohonan maaf daripada seseorang, menampung sendiri pakaiannya, menjahit kasutnya dan turut membantu kerja rumah ahli keluarganya. Begitu juga dalam kehidupan sahabatnya seperti Saidina Umar Al-Khattab, meskipun seorang khalifah, beliau berjalan kaki untuk suatu keperluan sehingga kepenatan. Keadaan itu dilihat seorang pemuda yang sedang menunggang himar.

Saidina Umar berkata kepadanya: “Wahai pemuda, bawa aku, aku benar-benar kepenatan”. Pemuda tadi turun dari kaldainya seraya mempersilakan Saidina Umar naik. Saidina Umar menolak dan cuma mahu menumpang di belakang pemuda itu hingga masuk kota Madinah dan orang melihatnya. Begitulah tawaduknya sahabat Nabi SAW. Jika tawaduk diterapkan dalam diri dan keluarga serta masyarakat tanpa mengira pangkat atau keturunan, tentu wujud masyarakat mesra dan bersatu.

Betapa cantik ajaran Islam dan tersiar syiar agama yang suci kerana dengan sifat tawaduk, orang akan hormat kepadanya serta mudah bergaul tanpa rasa malu serta takut. Pada dirinya tidak ada lagi kesombongan dan ingin menunjuk-nunjuk, marah dan merendahkan orang lain. Orang tawaduk dijanjikan Allah syurga seperti sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud: “Tidak akan masuk syurga orang yang ada di dalam hatinya seberat zarah perasaan takbur (sombong).” (Hadis riwayat Muslim)

Kedudukan orang tawaduk sangat mulia dan tinggi di sisi Allah. Rasulullah SAW menggambarkannya dalam hadis bermaksud: “Tawaduk tidak menambah kepada seseorang kecuali ketinggian kerana itu bertawaduklah kamu, semoga Allah meninggikan darjatmu.” (Hadis riwayat Ibn Abu Ad-Dunya)

Demi menyempurnakan keperibadian dan mencapai tahap mukmin sejati, seseorang harus mengamalkan sifat tawaduk dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan menjauhkan diri daripada sifat takbur, sombong dan ujub yang semua itu hanya mengundang kebencian masyarakat serta memecah belah kesatuan Islam.
