Good Companionship

Author: Shaykh Saleem Al-Hilaalee Source

Good companionship, choosing and having good companions is extremely important for many reasons and from many aspects. Mankind cannot live alone; every individual must live and interact with others.

Those people who you sit with and make your friends are inevitably going to fall into o­ne of two categories. Either they are going to be good individuals - who guide and encourage you towards what is good and help you to accomplish that which Allah has ordered, or they are going to be bad - encouraging you to do what is pleasing to Shaytaan, that which misleads you, and leads you to the Hell-Fire.

When the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) was sent with the Da'wah to establish the Deen of al-Islaam, he did not do it o­n his own. Rather, Allah chose for him companions who accompanied him and who carried the Message until it was complete.

These three aspects show the importance of having good companions, companions who are Saalih (righteous). Such a companion will help you to do what is good and remind you of Allah, he will enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil. They also show the importance of avoiding keeping bad companions. Such a companion will have a bad effect upon you, they help you to do those deeds which are displeasing to Allaah and which lead to the Hell-Fire - and we seek Allah's refuge from that. The Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) explained the matter of good companionship, so that no room is left for doubt or confusion, when he said: "A person is upon the Deen of his khaleel - close friend, so look to whom you befriend." [Abu Dawood and At-Tirmidhee]

This means that a person is upon the same manhaj (methodology) as his friend, the same tareeq (path) as his friend, the same nature, manner and behavior as his friend. So we must be careful about whom we befriend. There is an Arabic statement - ‘Your companion is what pulls you to something.' So if your companion is good, he will pull you towards that which is good. But if your companion is bad, he will o­nly pull you towards that which is evil. We must choose our friends and companions carefully so that we take friends who are sincere, and who will order us with what is good and forbid us from what is evil. If he observes us committing sins he would warn us, if he becomes aware of our shortcomings he would advise us, and if he finds a fault in us he would cover it. About this the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He neither betrays him nor tells him a lie, nor humiliates him." [At-Tirmidhee]

So should you see a fault in your brother, you should wish to remove that fault from him and not expose it to the people. This is what is required by brotherhood and again stresses the importance of choosing friends who are upon the correct way, who are loyal, and who hide your faults whilst ordering you with good and forbidding you from evil, who stand beside you and support you, and co-operate with you upon all that is good.

The Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) also explained this great principle further in another narration, wherein he stated, "Do not keep company except with a believer, and do not feed except a person who has taqwaa (fear of Allah)." [Abu Dawood and At-Tirmidhee]

This principle is important from the standpoint of how the Deen is to be established, and from the standpoint of what brotherhood is and what it does. Indeed, the reason that o­ne takes a companion is to help him establish his Islaam, and to help him worship Allah. We find a good example in the Prophet Moosaa - the o­ne whom Allah chose and spoke to. When Allah sent him to Fir'awn, he said, "And appoint for me a helper from my family, Haaroon - my brother; increase my strength with him, and let him share my task (of conveying Allah's Message and Prophethood), that we may glorify You much and remember You much." [20:29-34]

Moosaa wanted his brother to support him and help him, protect him and accompany him. And this is what the believers do for o­ne another. For the thing that binds the believers together and makes them brothers is Eemaan. The Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "There are three characteristics; whoever has them will taste the sweetness of Eemaan: That Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than all else, that he loves a person and does not love him except for Allaah, and that he would hates to revert to unbelief just as he would hate to be thrown into the Fire." [Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

Thus the connection between the believers is based upon Eemaan and sincere brotherhood. Be warned against taking any companion if such companionship is based upon other than this, for if you were to do that you would then bite your hands in grief. Just as the unjust o­nes will bite their hands in grief o­n the Last Day. Saying, "Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger. Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (the Qur'aan) after it had come to me." [25:27]

And Allaah says, "And whosoever turns away from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allah), We appoint for him Shaytaan to be a Qareen (intimate companion) to him." [43:36]
So all of the physical togetherness that you see around you, which is based upon other than Eemaan will be wiped away o­n that Day, and it will be a source of misery and torture for them. Allaa says that those who love o­ne another for other than the sake of Allaah will be "...foes o­ne to another..." o­n the Last Day. [43:67]

It is o­nly the brotherhood that is based upon Eemaan and Taqwaa that is the true and lasting brotherhood. All of those who come together for materialistic reasons; because of complexion, because of nationality, or for whatever other reason, will be enemies o­ne to another "...except al-Muttaqoon."

Those who have Taqwaa, and love a brother o­nly because he is upon the Path of Allah and has the same Eemaan that they have; he has taken the path of the Messenger (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and the Salafus-Saalih (righteous predecessors). So be careful, before you slip and find yourself exposed to a fitnah, which you never imagined, all because you were not careful about whom you took as a companion.

The Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "The case of the good companion and the bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the blower of the bellows (iron-smith). As for the seller of musk, he will either give you some of the musk, or you will purchase some from him, or at least you will come away having experienced its good smell. Whereas the blower of the bellows will either burn your clothing, or at least you will come away having experienced its repugnant smell." [Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

The good companion has been given this similitude because he is righteous and will help you to remember Allah. If he sees you make a mistake he will advise you and support you, whereas the bad companion would forsake you; leaving you at the time when you are most in need of him. "And remember the Day when the Dhaalim (wrong-doer, oppressor) will bite at his hands, he will say, ‘Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger. Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this Qur'aan) after it had come to me. And Shaytaan is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need'." [25:27-29]

The bad companion is the Shaytaan from amongst mankind, and the Shayaateen are both men and jinns. Sometimes the harm that comes from the Shayaateen amongst men is greater than the harm that comes from the Shayaateen of the jinn. As a matter of fact the Shayaateen amongst mankind could probably teach the Shayaateen from the jinn a few things they didn't know!

So in this hadeeth, where the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said that the good companion is like the seller of musk - which is a particular type of perfume, o­ne of the best - it is said that either you will take some from him or you will get some of its fragrance o­n you. It can be seen that from the good companion you will either pick up good actions and statements from his example - obeying Allah because he does so and because he supports you in that, ordering what is good and forbidding what is evil, acquiring good characteristics and qualities and beneficial knowledge - or if he sees you becoming weak in your Eemaan he will advise you and help you.

A good example of this can be found in the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), who was ma'soom (free from making sins). When he was making the hijrah (migration) from Makkah to Madinah he would not leave until he had chosen a companion to accompany him o­n his way. Abu Bakr offered to go with him and make the hijrah also, but the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) ordered him to wait until Allah allowed him to do so. This implies that the fact that Abu Bakr was to be the Prophet's (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) companion o­n this hijrah was a choice from Allaah, and so great a choice and such a blessing that Allah mentioned it in the Qur'aan.

"Allah did indeed help him (Muhammad) when the disbelievers drove him out. The second of the two, when they (Muhammad and Abu Bakr) were in the cave, and he (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said to his companion, ‘Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us'." [9:40]

He (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘Surely Allah is with us', not ‘with me', since Abu Bakr had supported the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) in the establishing of the Deen of Allah, he had thus earned the right to be supported by Allah also.

Abu Bakr - a good friend and companion, o­ne who was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of Allah and to the service of His Messenger (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam); his blood, his wealth, his sweat, his tears and everything that he owned he gave for Allah's sake. Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq, may Allah be pleased with him and he pleased with Allah, the first Khaleefah after the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and his great companion, the best of this Ummah after the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), sets for us this great example of the good companion who is like the perfume merchant.

Erti Persahabatan

Dalam dunia ini kita tidak punya sesiapa kecuali diri sendiri. Tetapi dalam kita bersendirian, kita beruntung kerana mempunyai seorang sahabat yang memahami kita. Sebagaimana kita mengharapkan keiklasan dan kejujuran seorang sahabat, begitulah juga dia.

Tetapi kita sering terlupa akan hal itu. Cuma mengambil kira tentang harapan dan perasaan kita. Kita rasa dikhianati bila dia tidak menepati janjinya. Kita tidak memberi dia peluang untuk menerangkan keadaannya. Bagi kita, itu alasannya untuk menutup kesilapan dan membela diri.Kita juga pernah membiarkan dia ternanti-nanti kerana kita juga ada janji yg tidak ditepati. Kita beri beribu alasan memaksa dia terima alasan kita.

Waktu itu, terfikirkah kita perasaannya? Seperti kita, dia juga tahu rasa kecewa. Tetapi kita sering terlupa.

Untungnya mempunyai seorang sahabat yang sentiasa memahami, yang selalu berada disisi pada waktu kita memerlukannya. Dia mendengar luahan perasaan kita, segala rasa kecewa dan ketakutan. Harapan dan impian juga kita luahkan. Dia memberi jalan sebagai laluan penyelesaian masalah.

Selalunya kita terlalu asyik menceritakan tentang diri kita hingga Kadang-kadang kita terlupa sahabat kita juga ada cerita yang ingin dikongsi bersama kita. Pernahkah kita memberi dia peluang untuk menceritakan tentang rasa bimbangnya,rasa takutnya? Pernahkah kita menenangkan dia sebagaimana dia pernah menyabarkan kita. Ikhlaskah kita mendengar tentang kejayaan dan berita gembiranya? Mampukah kita menjadi sumber kekuatannya sepertimana dia meniup semangat setiap kali kita rasa kecewa dan menyerah kalah? Dapatkah kita yakinkan dia yang kita boleh dipercayai, kita boleh dijadikan tempat untuk bersandar bila terasa lemah, agar tidak rebah.? Bolehkah kita menjadi bahu untuk dia bersandar harapan?

Sesekali jadilah sahabat yang mendengar dari yang hanya bercerita. Ambillah masa untuk memahami hati dan perasaan sahabat kerana dia juga seorang manusia. Dia juga ada rasa takut, ada rasa bimbang,sedih dan kecewa. Dia juga ada kelemahan dan memerlukan seorang sahabat sebagai kekuatan. Jadilah kita sahabatnya itu. Kita selalu melihat dia ketawa,tetapi mungkin sebenarnya dia tidak setabah yang kita sangkakan. Di sebalik senyumannya mungkin banyak cerita sedih yang ingin diluahkan. Di sebalik kesenangannya mungkin tersimpan seribu kekalutan. Kita tidak tahu. Tetapi jika kita cuba jadi sahabat sepertinya, mungkin kita akan tahu.

RENUNGILAH... "HARGAILAH SEBUAH PERSAHABATAN KERANA DISEBALIKNYA TERSIMPUL SEGALA-GALANYA."

Satu-satunya cara agar kita memperolehi kasih sayang, ialah jangan menuntut agar kita dicintai, tetapi mulailah memberi kasih sayang kepada orang lain tanpa mengharapkan balasan

Orang yang menunjukkan kebaikan kepada anda adalah sahabat yang baik. Dan orang yang menunjukkan kesalahan anda adalah sahabat yang paling baik.

Bulan Rejab

BULAN REJAB

Wahai Saudara-saudaraku yang budiman, Pada hari Isnin tanggal 16 Julai 2007 kita memasuki bulan Rejab. Bulan Rejab adalah bulan Allah swt. Mari kita semak ada apa di balik bulan Rejab itu. Diriwayatkan bahwa Rasulullah saw telah bersabda, "Ketahuilah bahwa bulan Rejab itu adalah bulan ALLAH swt, maka:

* Barang siapa yang berpuasa satu hari dalam bulan ini dengan ikhlas, maka pasti ia mendapat keridhaan yang besar dari ALLAH swt

* Dan barang siapa berpuasa pada tanggal 27 Rejab 1428/Isra Mi'raj (Sabtu, 11 Ogos 2007) akan mendapat pahala seperti 5 tahun berpuasa

* Barang siapa yang berpuasa dua hari di bulan Rejab akan mendapat kemuliaan di sisi ALLAH swt

* Barang siapa yang berpuasa tiga hari yaitu pada tanggal 1, 2, dan 3 Rejab (16,17,18 Julai 2007) maka ALLAH swt akan memberikan pahala seperti 900 tahun berpuasa dan menyelamatkannya dari bahaya dunia dan siksa akhirat

* Barang siapa berpuasa lima hari dalam bulan ini, insyaallah permintaannya akan dikabulkan Allah swt

* Barang siapa berpuasa tujuh hari dalam bulan ini, maka ditutupkan tujuh pintu neraka Jahanam dan barang siapa berpuasa delapan hari maka akan dibukakan delapan pintu syurga

* Barang siapa berpuasa lima belas hari dalam bulan ini, maka ALLAH swt akan mengampuni dosa-dosanya yang telah lalu dan menggantikan kesemua kejahatannya dengan kebaikan, dan barang siapa yang menambah (hari-hari puasa) maka ALLAH swt akan menambahkan pahalanya."

Sabda Rasulullah saw lagi :"Pada malam Mi'raj, saya melihat sebuah sungai yang airnya lebih manis dari madu, lebih sejuk dari air batu dan lebih harum dari minyak wangi, lalu saya bertanya pada Jibril as "Wahai Jibril untuk siapakah sungai ini?" Maka berkata Jibrilb AS "Ya Muhammad sungai ini adalah untuk orang yang membaca salawat untuk engkau dibulan Rejab ini."

Dalam sebuah riwayat Tsauban bercerita :"Ketika kami berjalan bersama-sama Rasulullah saw ke sebuah kubur, lalu Rasulullah saw berhenti dan beliau menangis dengan amat sedih, kemudian beliau berdoa kepada ALLAH swt. Lalu saya bertanya kepada beliau "Ya Rasulullah, mengapakah engkau menangis?" Lalu beliau bersabda "Wahai Tsauban, mereka itu sedang disiksa dalam kuburnya dan saya berdoa kepada ALLAH swt, lalu ALLAH swt meringankan atas mereka."

Sabda beliau lagi "Wahai Tsauban, kalaulah sekiranya mereka ini mau berpuasa satu hari dan beribadah satu malam saja di bulan Rejab niscaya mereka tidak akan disiksa di dalam kubur."

Tsauban bertanya "Ya Rasulullah, apakah hanya berpuasa satu hari dan beribadah satu malam dalam bulan Rejab sudah dapat mengelakkan dari siksa kubur?" Sabda beliau "Wahai Tsauban, demi ALLAH Zat yang telah mengutus saya sebagai nabi, tiada seorang muslim lelaki dan perempuan yang berpuasa satu hari dan mengerjakan sholat malam sekali dalam bulan Rejab dengan niat karena ALLAH swt, kecuali ALLAH swt mencatatkan baginya seperti berpuasa satu tahun dan mengerjakan sholat malam satu tahun."

Sabda beliau lagi "Sesungguhnya Rejab adalah bulan ALLAH, Sya'ban Adalah bulan aku dan bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan umatku." "Semua manusia akan berada dalam keadaan lapar pada hari kiamat, kecuali para nabi, keluarga nabi dan orang-orang yang berpuasa pada bulan Rejab, Sya'ban dan bulan Ramadhan. Maka sesungguhnya mereka kenyang, serta tidak akan merasa lapar dan haus bagi mereka."

Have a pleasant day ahead!!!!
