God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: "By Time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience." Firman allah Ta'ala: 'Demi Masa! Sesungguhnya manusia itu dalam kerugian Kecuali orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal soleh, dan mereka pula berpesan-pesan dengan kebenaran serta berpesan-pesan dengan sabar.' (Qur'an, Al-Asr 103)

'Membuat Nasihat Berguna Pada Belia-Belia'

Wahai Hamba-hamba Allah yang dikasihi, jika Allah Taala memberikan kita 60 tahun untuk hidup, maka ia datang kepada engaran sekitar 22.000 hari (60 x 365). Semua hari ini Allah memberikan kita bersedia untuk satu hari temu bual dengan Allah.

Yang ada di hari kiamat. Pada hari itu, Allah akan bertanya beberapa soalan dan Dia mahu beberapa jawapan yang betul. Allah maha penyayang bahawa Dia telah memberitahu kita apa yang soalan-soalan yang akan melalui Al 'Quran dan hadith. RahmatNya begitu besar bahawa Dia juga memberitahu kita jawapan kepada soalan-soalan ini.

Sekarang bayangkan, pelajar pergi ke menulis peperiksaan. Dia membuka kertas peperiksaan itu dan mendapati soalan pada satu pihak. Kemudian dia mendapati bahawa jawapan kepada soalan-soalan di sisi lain.

Kini selepas menulis peperiksaan, jika pelajar ini masih gagal, maka apa yang kita akan memikirkan dia? Kita akan berfikir bahawa dia adalah orang yang sekitar dumbest. Memberitahu anda apa, pada hari kiamat, kita orang-orang yang tahu soalan-soalan dan jawapan masih akan gagal! Itulah sebabnya mengapa, ini adalah masa untuk bangun sebelum kita membuktikan diri kita kepada orang yang dumbest.

Belia masa utama kehidupan kita. Ini adalah di mana orang membuat keputusan penting seperti apa yang menjadi pada masa akan datang. Perkara yang anda lakukan dalam masa ini kemungkinan besar akan memberi kesan kepada anda sepanjang seluruh hidup anda.

Itulah sebabnya, ia adalah penting untuk membawa Islam ke dalam kehidupan anda pada hari ini. Ramai orang mempunyai tanggapan bahawa apabila mereka menjadi tua, maka mereka akan mula mengamalkan Islam. Mungkin anda dan saya juga mempunyai perasaan ini.

Tetapi melihat cara ini:

Jika anda ingin menjadi pemain hoki yang terkenal, maka anda akan mula bermain dari golongan belia. Seperti yang anda membesar, anda akan menjadi lebih baik dan lebih baik. Tetapi jika anda berfikir bahawa anda akan mula bermain apabila anda adalah seorang lelaki tua, maka peluang untuk menjadi terkenal hampir sifar.

Itu realiti. Apabila kita menjadi tua, kita tidak akan mempunyai cukup tenaga untuk berdiri dan berdoa.

Kerana belia adalah masa yang utama dalam hidup anda, itulah sebabnya ia sangat berharga kepada Allah. Allah telah menyediakan tempat teduh pada hari kiamat bagi orang-orang yang gunakan masa untuk menyembah Allah dalam belia mereka.

Pada hari itu, tidak akan ada tempat teduh lain kecuali teduh dari takhta Allah. Bayangkan berdiri di luar pada hari yang sangat panas di bawah matahari selama berjam-jam selepas waktu. Anda pasti akan mahu bayang-bayang beberapa berehat di bawah anda. Tetapi bagaimana pula dengan hari itu ketika matahari akan lebih dekat kepada kita dan panas akan lebih melampau. Tidakkah anda ingin beberapa bayangan pada hari itu? Sudah pasti kita!

Anda dan saya adalah semua lemah dari segi menjaga kewajipan kita kepada Allah, Allahu dan Allah adalah sedar tentang itu. Allah mahu kita terus cuba untuk melakukan yang terbaik.

Jika bayi jatuh ke bawah semasa berjalan, dia cuba untuk bangun semula dan berjalan. Beliau tidak terus duduk. Kemudian satu hari datang apabila beliau tidak mula berjalan. Begitu juga, kita perlu terus mencuba yang terbaik dan tidak berputus asa. Hari akan datang apabila, InsyaAllah, kita akan cukup kuat untuk taat kepada Allah Taala dalam setiap keadaan.

Mari kita membuat janji kecil kepada Allah sekarang bahawa kita akan mula melakukan perkara-perkara yang kita telah dihantar kepada kehidupan ini. Jika tidak, kita akan menjadi seperti lelaki yang bisu yang akan gagal ujian pada hari kiamat.

Semoga Allah menjadikannya mudah untuk kita. Ameen.

Penyunatan lelaki dalam Islam

Lelaki berkhatan adalah antara upacara-upacara Islam dan merupakan sebahagian daripada (dalam bahasa Arab): fitrah, atau pelupusan semula jadi dan ciri-ciri dan naluri semula jadi penciptaan manusia.

"Apa yang Nabi Sallallaahu`Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam ertinya oleh Fitrah adalah bahawa jika ciri-ciri ini diikuti oleh seorang lelaki, dia akan digambarkan sebagai seorang lelaki Fitrah, Allah SubhanahuwaTa'ala telah dengan berbakat hamba-hambanya dan menggalakkan mereka untuk mengikuti, supaya mereka mencapai tahap yang tinggi kehormatan dan maruah. "

Nabi Muhammad Sallallaahu`Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam berkata, "5 adalah bertindak agak serupa dengan fitrah: Berkhatan, keratan atau bercukur yang pubes, memotong kuku, mencabut atau mencukur bulu di bawah ketiak dan guntingan (atau bercukur) misai." (Riwayat Bukhari & Muslim)

Allah memerintahkan Nabi Muhammad Sallallaahu`Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam mengikuti agama Ibrahim Alayhis Sallam. Apabila Allah berkata:

Firman Allah Taala: "Kemudian Kami wahyukan kepada anda: 'Ikut agama Ibrahim, tegak di dalam iman'."(Surah An 'Nahl '16: Ayat 123)

Dan sebahagian daripada agama Ibrahim berkhatan.

Nabi Muhammad Sallallaahu`Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam berkata: "Nabi Ibrahim berkhatan sendiri apabila dia berumur 80 tahun dan dia disunat sendiri dengan kapak." (Riwayat Bukhari, Muslim & Ahmad.)

Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu Anhu telah ditanya "Berapa usia anda apabila Nabi Muhammad Sallallaahu`Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam meninggal dunia?" Dia menjawab, "Pada masa itu, saya telah disunat. Pada masa itu orang tidak menyunat anak-anak sehingga mereka mencapai umur baligh (baligh)." (Bukhari)

Kebanyakan fuqaha '(Ulama Islam) mengatakan bahawa berkhatan itu adalah wajib pada semua orang dan ini adalah pendapat Jumhur (kebanyakan ulama). Jika ia tidak wajib, maka Nabi Allah Ibrahim Alayhis Sallam tidak akan mempunyai masalah dirinya pada peringkat akhir hidupnya.

Masa untuk Penyunatan:

Pada zaman Nabi Muhammad Sallallaahu `Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam berkhatan telah dilakukan bagi lelaki pada masa yang Aqiqah mereka (Ia merupakan satu perayaan tradisional untuk kelahiran kanak-kanak yang melibatkan korban haiwan 1 terima kasih kepada Allah. Yang pendek jawapan) seperti yang dilaporkan dalam Al-Bayhaq.

Lain-lain hadith menyebut yang dilakukan kemudian. Butir-butir di sini tidak penting tetapi ia pergi tanpa mengatakan bahawa operasi kecil ini adalah lebih mudah pada bayi daripada pada kanak-kanak lelaki yang lebih tua. Jika ia adalah penting, berkhatan boleh ditangguhkan atas sebab-sebab praktikal, tetapi ia akan masuk akal untuk melaksanakan berkhatan sebelum budak itu mula berdoa kerap disebabkan untuk tujuan praktikal memudahkan Taharah, atau yang bersih.

Abdullah Ibn Jabir Radhiyallahu Anhu dan Aisha Radhiyallahu Anha berkata:

"Nabi Sallallaahu`Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam melakukan Aqiqah Al-Hasan dan Al Hussein (Nabi cucu) dan disunat pada hari ke-7.." (Riwayat dalam Al-Bayhaq & Tabarani)

Imam Nawawi berkata:

"Berkhatan adalah disyorkan dilakukan pada hari ke-7 peringkat awal-hari Aqiqah (Al-Majmu '1/303)

Ia tidak penting bagi kanak-kanak itu kekal kerana dia adalah apabila dia keluar dari perut ibunya, jika ada sesuatu yang boleh dilakukan untuk orang yang memenuhi tujuan dan diperintahkan oleh agama tulen. Perkara-perkara tersebut termasuk mencukur kepalanya selepas dia dilahirkan, kerana ia adalah dalam kepentingan yang terbaik. Nabi Islam (keamanan dan rahmat Allah ke atasnya) berkata: "Buang kesusahan itu daripada dia."

Perkara yang sama juga untuk mencuci darah dari dia dan memotong saraf yang beliau telah berkhidmat kepada ibunya, dan perkara-perkara lain yang dilakukan untuk mendapat manfaat kepadanya.

2 - manfaat kesihatan:

Dr Muhammad 'Ali Al Baar (a ahli Royal College of Surgeons di UK dan seorang perunding untuk jabatan Perubatan Islam King Fahd Pusat Penyelidikan Perubatan di Universiti Raja Abdul Aziz di Jeddah) berkata di dalam buku Al nya-Khitaan (Berkhatan):

"Penyunatan lelaki yang baru lahir (Ia, dalam bulan pertama kehidupan) membawa pelbagai manfaat kesihatan, termasuk:

1 - Perlindungan terhadap jangkitan tempatan pada zakar, yang mungkin disebabkan oleh kehadiran kulup, menyebabkan mengetatkan kulup, yang boleh membawa kepada pengekalan air kencing atau jangkitan glans (tip) zakar - yang memerlukan berkhatan dalam perintah untuk merawat masalah ini. Dalam kes-kes yang kronik, kanak-kanak itu boleh terdedah kepada pelbagai penyakit pada masa depan, yang paling serius yang kanser zakar.

2 - Jangkitan uretra. Banyak kajian telah membuktikan bahawa tidak bersunat kanak-kanak lelaki lebih terdedah kepada jangkitan pada uretra. Dalam beberapa kajian, kadar 39 kali lebih banyak di kalangan kanak-kanak lelaki tidak bersunat. Dalam kajian-kajian lain, kadar sepuluh kali lebih banyak. Kajian-kajian lain menunjukkan bahawa 95% daripada kanak-kanak yang mengalami jangkitan uretra tidak bersunat, manakala kadar di kalangan kanak-kanak disunat tidak melebihi 5%.

Pada kanak-kanak, jangkitan uretra serius dalam kes-kes tertentu. Dalam kajian oleh Wisewell pada 88 kanak-kanak yang mengalami jangkitan uretra, dalam 36% daripada mereka, bakteria yang sama ditemui di dalam darah juga. 3 daripada mereka menguncup meningitis, dan 2 mengalami kegagalan buah pinggang. 2 yang lain mati akibat penyebaran organisma mikro seluruh badan.

3 - Perlindungan terhadap kanser zakar: kajian bersetuju bahawa kanser zakar hampir tidak wujud di kalangan lelaki yang berkhatan, manakala kadar di kalangan orang-orang yang tidak bersunat tidak adalah tidak penting. Di Amerika Syarikat (USA) kadar kanser zakar di kalangan lelaki yang berkhatan adalah sifar, manakala di kalangan orang-orang yang tidak bersunat adalah 2.2 dalam setiap 100,000 penduduk yang tidak bersunat. Oleh sebab kebanyakan penduduk Amerika Syarikat disunat, kes-kes kanser ini terdapat antara 750 dan 1000 setahun. Jika penduduk tidak disunat, bilangan kes-kes akan mencapai 3000. Di negara-negara di mana lelaki yang tidak disunat, seperti China, Uganda dan Puerto Rico, kanser zakar mewakili antara 12-22% daripada semua jenis kanser yang terdapat di kalangan kaum lelaki; ini adalah peratusan yang sangat tinggi.

4 - penyakit kelamin (STD). Penyelidik mendapati bahawa STD yang disebarkan melalui hubungan seks (biasanya kerana zina/zina dan homoseks) merebak di kalangan orang-orang yang tidak disunat, terutama herpes, chancres lembut, sifilis, candida, gonorrhea dan ketuat kemaluan.

Terdapat banyak kajian moden yang mengesahkan bahawa berkhatan mengurangkan kemungkinan dijangkiti AIDS jika dibandingkan dengan rakan-rakan mereka tidak bersunat. Tetapi itu tidak menolak kemungkinan seorang lelaki yang disunat kontrak AIDS akibat hubungan seks dengan orang yang mempunyai AIDS. Berkhatan tidak adalah perlindungan terhadap, dan tidak ada cara yang sebenar untuk melindungi diri terhadap penyakit kelamin banyak selain daripada mengelakkan zina/zina, pergaulan, homoseks dan lain-lain amalan yang menjijikkan. (Dari sini kita boleh melihat kebijaksanaan syariat Islam melarang zina/zina dan homoseks).

5 - Perlindungan isteri terhadap kanser pangkal rahim. Penyelidik telah mengambil perhatian bahawa isteri lelaki berkhatan mempunyai risiko yang kurang untuk mendapat kanser pangkal rahim daripada isteri-isteri orang-orang yang tidak bersunat.

Making Use Of Our Youth-Advice to the Youth

My dear Slaves of Allaah, if Allah gives us 60 years to live then it comes to around 22,000 days (60 x 365). All these days Allah gives us to prepare for one day of interview with Allah. That is on the Day of Judgement. On that day, Allah will ask us some questions and He wants some correct answers. Allah is so merciful that He already told us what the questions will be through Quran and hadith. His mercy is so great that He even told us the answers to these questions.

Now imagine, a student goes to write an exam. He opens his exam paper and finds the questions on one side. Then he finds that the answers to the questions are on the other side. Now after writting the exam, if this student still fails then what would we think of him? We would think that he is the dumbest person around. Well, tell you what, on the Day of Judgement, us people who knew the questions and answers will still fail! That is why, this is the time to wake up before we prove ourselves to be the dumbest of people.

Youth is the prime time of our lives. This is where people make important decisions like what to become in the future. Things you do in this time will most likely affect you throughout the rest of your life. That is why, it is important to bring Islam into your life during these days. Many people have the conception that when they get old then they will start practising Islam. Probably you and me also have this feeling.

But look at it this way:

If you want to become a famous hockey player then you would start playing right from the youth. As you grow up, you will become better and better. But if you think that you will start playing when you are an old man then the chances of becoming famous is virtually zero. That's the reality. When we become old, we won't have enough energy to even stand up and pray.

Because youth is the prime time of your life, that is why it is very precious to Allah. Allah has prepared a shade on the Day of Judgement for those people who used to worship Allah in their youth. On that Day, there will be no other shade except the shade from the throne of Allah. Imagine standing outside on a very hot day under the sun for hours after hours. You would definately want some shadow to rest under. But what about that Day when the sun will be much nearer to us and the heat will be much more extreme. Wouldn't you want some shade on that day? Ofcourse you would!

You and I are all weak in terms of keeping our duties to Allah and Allah is aware of that. Allah wants that we keep trying to do our best. If a baby falls down while walking he tries to get up again and walk. He doesn't keep sitting down. Then a day comes when he does start to walk. Similarly, we should keep trying our best and not give up. A day will come when, InsyaAllah, we will be strong enough to obey Allah in every situation. Let us make a small promise to Allah right now that we will start doing the things for which we were sent to this life. Otherwise, we will be like that dumb guy who will fail the test on the Day of Judgement.

May Allah make it easy for us. Ameen.

Male Circumcision In Islam

Male circumcision is among the rites of Islam and is part of the (in Arabic): fitrah, or the innate disposition and natural character and instinct of the human creation.

"What the Prophet Sallallaahu `Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam (peace and blessings of God be on him) means by Fitrah is that if these characteristics are followed by a man, he would be described as a man of Fitrah, which Allah SubhanahuwaTa'ala has gifted his servants with, and encouraged them to follow, so that they attain a high degree of respectability and dignity."

Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu `Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam (peace and blessings of God be on him) said, "5 are the acts quite akin to fitrah:Circumcision, clipping or shaving the pubes, cutting the nails, plucking or shaving the hair under the armpits and clipping (or shaving) the moustache." (Reported in Bukhari & Muslim)

Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu`Alayhi-waa-Sallam (peace and blessings of God be on him) to follow the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). When Allah says:

God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: "Then We inspired you: 'Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright in Faith'." (Surah An ‘Nahl ‘16: verse 123)

And part of the religion of Ibrahim is circumcision.

The Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu `Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam (peace and blessings of God be on him) said: "The Prophet Ibrahim circumcised himself when he was eighty years old and he circumcised himself with an axe." (Related by Bukhari, Muslim & Ahmad.)

Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu Anhu (peace be on him) was asked "How old were you when the Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu `Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam (peace and blessings of God be on him) died?" He replied, "At that time I had been circumcised. At that time people did not circumcise the boys till they attained the age of puberty (Baligh)." (Bukhari)

Most Fuqaha' (Islamic Jurists) say that circumcision is obligatory upon the men and this is the opinion of Jumhur (the majority of the scholars). If it were not obligatory, then Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) would not have troubled himself at such a later stage of his life.

The Time for Circumcision:

During the time of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu `Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam (peace and blessings of God be on him) circumcision was done for boys at the time of their Aqiqah (It's a traditional celebration for the birth of a child which involves the sacrifice of an animal in thanks to Allah. That's the short answer) as reported in al-Bayhaq.

Other Ahadith mention it being done later. The details here are not important but it goes without saying that this minor operation is easier on a baby than it is on an older boy. If it is essential, circumcision can be delayed for practical reasons, but it would be sensible to perform circumcision before the boy starts praying regularly due to practical purposes of simplifying Taharah, or being clean.

Abdullah Ibn Jabir Radhiyallahu Anhu (peace be on him) and Aisha Radhiyallahu Anha (peace be on her) said:

"The Prophet Sallallaahu `Alayhi ` waa ` Sallam (peace and blessings of God be on him) performed the Aqiqah of Al Hasan and Al Hussein (the prophets grandsons) and circumcised them on the 7th. Day." (Related in Al Bayhaq & Tabarani)

Imam Nawawi says:

"circumcision is recommended to be performed on the 7th day of infancy-the day of Aqiqah (Al-Majmu 1/303)

It is not essential for the child to remain as he is when he comes forth from his mother's womb, if there is something that may be done for him that serves a purpose and is enjoined by the pure religion. Such things include shaving his head after he is born, because that is in his best interests. The Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Remove the harm from him."

The same applies to washing the blood from him and cutting the cord by which he was attached to his mother, and other things which are done to benefit him.

2 – The health benefits:

Dr. Muhammad 'Ali Al Baar (a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in the UK and a consultant to the Islamic Medicine department of the King Fahd Centre for Medical Research in the King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah) says in his book al-Khitaan (Circumcision):

"Circumcision of newborn boys (I.e., within the first month of life) brings numerous health benefits, including:

1 – Protection against local infection in the penis, which may result from the presence of the foreskin, causing tightening of the foreskin, which may lead to retention of urine or infections of the glans (tip) of the penis – which require circumcision in order to treat these problems. In chronic cases, the child may be exposed to numerous diseases in the future, the most serious of which is cancer of the penis.

2 – Infections of the urethra. Many studies have proven that uncircumcised boys are more exposed to infection of the urethra. In some studies the rate was 39 times more among uncircumcised boys. In other studies the rate was ten times more. Other studies showed that 95% of children who suffered from infections of the urethra were uncircumcised, whereas the rate among circumcised children did not exceed 5%.

In children, infection of the urethra is serious in some cases. In the study by Wisewell on 88 children who suffered infections of the urethra, in 36 % of them, the same bacteria was found in the blood also. Three of them contracted meningitis, and two suffered renal failure. 2 others died as a result of the spread of the micro-organisms throughout the body.

3 – Protection against cancer of the penis: the studies agree that cancer of the penis is almost non-existent among circumcised men, whereas the rate among uncircumcised men is not insignificant. In the US the rate of penile cancer among circumcised men is zero, whilst among uncircumcised men it is 2.2 in every 100,000 of the uncircumcised population. As most of the inhabitants of the US are circumcised, the cases of this cancer there are between 750 and 1000 per year. If the population were not circumcised, the number of cases would reach 3000. In countries where boys are not circumcised, such as China, Uganda and Puerto Rico, penile cancer represents between 12-22 % of all cancers found in men; this is a very high percentage.

4 – Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Researchers found that the STDs which are transmitted via sexual contact (usually because of fornication/adultery and homosexuality) spread more among those who are not circumcised, especially herpes, soft chancres, syphilis, candida, gonorrhea and genital warts.

There are numerous modern studies which confirm that circumcision reduces the possibility of contracting AIDS when compared to their uncircumcised counterparts. But that does not rule out the possibility of a circumcised man contracting AIDS as the result of sexual contact with a person who has AIDS. Circumcision is not a protection against it, and there is no real way of protecting oneself against the many sexually transmitted diseases apart from avoiding fornication/adultery, promiscuity, homosexuality and other repugnant practices. (From this we can see the wisdom of Islamic sharee'ah in forbidding fornication/adultery and homosexuality).

5 – Protection of wives against cervical cancer. Researchers have noted that the wives of circumcised men have less risk of getting cervical cancer than the wives of uncircumcised men.

And Allah knows best.
