Disebutkan dalam kitab “tahdzibul kamaal” karya Al-Hafizh Al-Mizzi:<br />
<br />
Berkata Yahya bin Yahya An-Naisaburi: suatu ketika aku berada di sisi Sufyan bin Uyainah, tiba-tiba ada seorang lelaki datang lalu berkata: Wahai Abu Muhammad! Aku mengeluhkan kepadamu perihal fulanah –isterinya, saya orang yang paling hina dan rendah menurutnya!<br />
<br />
Maka Sufyan diam beberapa saat, lalu mengangkat kepalanya dan berkata: jangan- jangan engkau sangat berharap kepadanya sehingga menjadikannya semakin merasa tinggi?<br />
<br />
Ia menjawab: benar demikian wahai Abu Muhammad,!<br />
<br />
Berkata Sufyan:<br />
<br />
من ذهب إلى العز ابتلي بالذل، ومن ذهب إلى المال ابتلي بالفقر، ومن ذهب إلى الدين يجمع الله له العز والمال مع الدين<br />
<br />
“Siapa yang mencari kemuliaan (dengan nasab keturunan), maka dia akan ditimpa musibah kehinaan, dan siapa yang mencari harta, maka dia akan ditimpa kemiskinan, dan siapa yang mencari agama, maka Allah mengumpulkan untuknya kemuliaan, harta, sekaligus agama.”<br />
<br />
Lalu Beliau mulai bercerita:<br />
<br />
“Kami empat bersaudara: Muhammad, Imran, Ibrahim dan saya sendiri. Muhammad yang tertua diantara kami sedangkan Imran adalah yang bungsu, aku pertengahan diantara mereka.Tatkala Muhammad ingin menikah, dia ingin mencari wanita berketurunan bangsawan, maka diapun menikahi wanita yang lebih mulia nasab keturunannya dibanding dirinya, maka Allah menimpakan musibah kehinaan kepadanya. Adapun Imran menginginkan harta, maka dia menikahi wanita yang lebih kaya darinya, maka Allah menimpakan kemiskinan kepadanya, dimana keluarga wanita itu mengambil semua miliknya dan tidak menyisakan sama sekali untuknya!. Akupun memperhatikan keadaan keduanya, lalu datanglah Ma’mar bin Rasyid kepada kami, maka akupun meminta pendapatnya sambil aku menceritakan kisah kedua saudaraku. Maka Beliaupun mengingatkan aku hadits<br />
<br />
Yahya bin Ja’dah dan hadits Aisyah. Adapun hadits Yahya bin Ja’dah, bahwa Rasulullah Shallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda:<br />
<br />
تنكح المرأة على أربع: دينها، وحسبها، ومالها، وجمالها، فعليك بذات الدين تربت يداك ".<br />
<br />
“Wanita dinikahi karena empat hal: agamanya,keturunannya, hartanya dan kecantikannya. Pilihlah wanita yang memiliki agama, (jika tidak) maka celaka engkau.”<br />
<br />
Dan hadits Aisyah bahwa Nabi Shallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda:<br />
<br />
" أعظم النساء بركة أيسرهن مؤنة<br />
<br />
“wanita yang paling banyak berkahnya adalah yang paling mudah maharnya.”<br />
<br />
Maka akupun memilih untuk diriku waniita yang memiliki agama dan mahar yang ringan sebagai wujud mengikuti sunnah Rasulullah Shallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, maka Allah Ta’ala menganugerahkan kepadaku kemuliaan, harta sekaligus agama.”<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Allah telah menetapkan syariat Islam yang lengkap dan sempurna, serta terjamin keadilan dan kebenarannya. Allah berfirman,</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلًا لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Telah sempurnalah kalimat Rabbmu (al-Qur’an), sebagai kalimat yang benar dan adil. Tidak ada yang dapat merubah kalimat-kalimat-Nya dan Dia-lah yang Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui.” </i>(Qs. al-An’aam: 115)<br />
<br />
<span id="more-605"></span><br />
Artinya, al-Qur’an adalah firman Allah yang benar dalam berita yang terkandung di dalamnya, serta adil dalam perintah dan larangannya, maka tidak ada yang lebih benar dari pada berita yang terkandung dalam kitab yang mulia ini, dan tidak ada yang lebih adil dari pada perintah dan larangannya.(Lihat kitab <i>Taisiirul Kariimir Rahmaan</i> (hal. 174))<br />
<br />
Di antara bentuk keadilan syariat Islam ini adalah dengan tidak membedakan antara satu bangsa/suku dengan bangsa/suku lainnya, demikian pula satu jenis (laki-laki atau perempuan) dengan jenis lainnya, kecuali dengan iman dan takwa kepada Allah.<br />
<br />
Allah berfirman,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Hai manusia, sesungguhnya Kami menciptakan kamu dari seorang laki-laki dan seorang perempuan dan menjadikan kamu berbangsa-bangsa dan bersuku-suku supaya kamu saling kenal-mengenal. Sesungguhnya orang yang paling mulia di sisi Allah ialah orang yang paling bertakwa di antara kamu. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Mengenal.” (</i>Qs. al-Hujuraat: 13)<br />
<br />
Dalam ayat lain Dia berfirman,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحاً مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ</span></b></div><br />
“Barangsiapa yang mengerjakan amal saleh, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan dalam keadaan beriman, maka sesungguhnya akan Kami berikan kepadanya kehidupan yang baik (di dunia), dan sesungguhnya akan Kami berikan balasan kepada mereka (di akhirat) dengan pahala yang lebih baik dari apa yang telah mereka kerjakan” (Qs. an-Nahl: 97)<br />
<br />
Juga dalam firman-Nya,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ أَنِّي لَا أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Maka Allah memperkenankan permohonan mereka (dengan berfirman), “Sesungguhnya Aku tidak menyia-nyiakan amal orang-orang yang beramal di antara kamu, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, (karena) sebagian kamu adalah dari sebagian yang lain.” (</i>Qs. Ali ‘Imraan: 195)<br />
<br />
<b>Apresiasi Islam Terhadap Kaum Perempuan</b><br />
<br />
Sungguh agama Islam sangat menghargai dan memuliakan kaum permpuan, dengan menetapkan hukum-hukum syariat yang khusus bagi mereka, serta menjelaskan hak dan kewajiban mereka dalam Islam, yang semua itu bertujuan untuk menjaga dan melindungi kehormatan dan kemuliaan mereka.(Lihat kitab <i>al-Mar’ah, Baina Takriimil Islam wa Da’aawat Tahriir </i>(hal. 6))<br />
<br />
Syaikh Shalih al-Fauzan berkata, “Wanita muslimah memiliki kedudukan (yang agung) dalam Islam, sehingga disandarkan kepadanya banyak tugas (yang mulia dalam Islam). Oleh karena itu, Nabi selalu menyampaikan nasehat-nasehat yang khusus bagi kaum wanita (misalnya dalam HR al-Bukhari (no. 3153) dan Muslim (no. 1468)), bahkan beliau menyampaikan wasiat khusus tentang wanita dalam kutbah beliau di Arafah (ketika haji wada’) (HR.Muslim (no. 1218)). Ini semua menunjukkan wajibnya memberikan perhatian kepada kaum wanita di setiap waktu. (Kitab<i> at-Tanbiihaat ‘ala ahkaamin takhtashshu bil mu’minaat</i> (hal. 5))<br />
<br />
Di antara bentuk penghargaan Islam terhadap kaum perempuan adalah dengan menyamakan mereka dengan kaum laki-laki dalam mayoritas hukum-hukum syariat, dalam kewajiban bertauhid kepada Allah, menyempurnakan keimanan, dalam pahala dan siksaan, serta keumuman anjuran dan larangan dalam Islam. (Lihat keterangan syaikh Bakr Abu Zaid dalam kitab <i>Hiraasatul fadhiilah</i> (hal. 17))<br />
<br />
Adapun perbedaan antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam beberapa hukum syariat, maka ini justru menunjukkan kesempurnaan Islam, karena agama ini benar-benar mempertimbangkan perbedaan kondisi laki-laki dan perempuan, untuk kemudian menetapkan bagi kedua jenis ini hukum-hukum yang sangat sesuai dengan keadaan dan kondisi mereka.<br />
<br />
Inilah bukti bahwa syariat Islam benar-benar ditetapkan oleh Allah Ta’ala, Zat Yang Maha Adil dan Bijaksana, Yang Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu yang mendatangkan kebaikan dan kemaslahatan bagi hamba-hamba-Nya. Allah berfirman,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>أَلا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Bukankah Allah yang menciptakan (alam semesta beserta isinya) maha mengetahui (segala sesuatu)? Dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui.” </i>(Qs. al-Mulk: 14)<br />
<br />
Ini semua menunjukkan bahwa agama Islam benar-benar ingin memuliakan kaum perempuan, karena Islam menetapkan hukum-hukum yang benar-benar sesuai dengan kondisi dan kodrat mereka, yang dengan mengamalkan semua itulah mereka akan mendapatkan kemuliaan yang sebenarnya.<br />
<br />
Ketika menjelaskan hikmah yang agung ini, syaikh Bakr Abu Zaid berkata, “Allah, Dialah yang menetapkan dan menakdirkan bahwa laki-laki tidak sama dengan perempuan, dalam ciri, bentuk dan kekuatan fisik. Laki-laki memiliki fisik dan watak yang lebih kuat, sedangkan perempuan lebih lemah dalam (kondisi) fisik maupun wataknya.<br />
<br />
Dua macam perbedaan inilah yang menjadi sandaran bagi sejumlah besar hukum-hukum syariat.<br />
Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui (segala sesuatu dengan terperinci) dengan hikmah-Nya yang tinggi telah menetapkan adanya perbedaan dan ketidaksamaan antara laki-laki dengan perempuan dalam sebagian hukum-hukum syariat, (yaitu) dalam tugas-tugas yang sesuai dengan kondisi dan bentuk fisik, serta kemampuan masing-masing dari kedua jenis tersebut (laki-laki dan perempuan) untuk menunaikannya. (Demikian pula sesuai dengan) kekhususan masing-masing dari keduanya pada bidangnya dalam kehidupan manusia, agar sempurna (tatanan) kehidupan ini, dan agar masing-masing dari keduanya menjalankan tugasnya dalam kehidupan ini.<br />
<br />
Maka Allah mengkhususkan kaum laki-laki dengan sebagian hukum syariat yang sesuai dengan kondisi, bentuk, susunan dan ciri-ciri fisik mereka, (dan sesuai dengan) kekuatan, kesabaran dan keteguhan mereka (dalam menjalankan hukum-hukum tersebut), (juga sesuai dengan) semua tugas mereka di luar rumah dan usaha mereka mencari nafkah untuk keluarga.<br />
<br />
Sebagaimana Allah mengkhususkan kaum perempuan dengan sebagian hukum syariat yang sesuai dengan kondisi, bentuk, susunan dan ciri-ciri fisik mereka, (dan sesuai dengan) terbatasnya kemampuan dan kelemahan mereka dalam menanggung (beban), (juga sesuai dengan) semua tugas dan tanggung jawab mereka di dalam rumah, dalam mengatur urusan rumah tangga, dan mendidik anggota keluarga yang merupakan generasi (penerus) bagi umat ini di masa depan.<br />
<br />
Dalam al-Qur’an, Allah menyebutkan ucapan istri ‘Imran,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>وليسَ الذكَرُ كالأُنْثى</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Dan laki-laki tidaklah sama dengan perempuan”</i> (Qs. Ali ‘Imraan: 36)<br />
<br />
Maha suci Allah yang milik-Nyalah segala penciptaan dan perintah (dalam syariat Islam), dan (milik-Nyalah) segala hukum dan pensyariatan.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>أَلا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ، تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Ketahuilah, menciptakan dan memerintahkan hanyalah hak Allah. Maha suci Allah, Rabb semesta alam.” </i>(Qs. al-A’raaf: 54)<br />
<br />
Inilah iradah (kehendak) Allah yang bersifat <i>kauniyyah qadariyyah</i> (sesuai dengan takdir dan kodrat yang telah Allah tetapkan bagi semua makhluk) dalam penciptaan, pembentukan rupa dan bakat (masing-masing makhluk). Dan inilah iradah (kehendak)-Nya yang bersifat <i>diniyyah syar’iyyah</i> (sesuai dengan ketentuan agama dan syariat yang dicintai dan diridhai-Nya). Maka terkumpullah dua iradah (kehendak) Allah ini (dalam hal ini) untuk (tujuan) kemaslahatan/kebaikan hamba-hamba-Nya, kemakmuran alam semesta, dan keteraturan (tatanan) hidup pribadi, rumah tangga, kelompok, serta seluruh masyarakat. (Kitab <i>Hiraasatul Fadhiilah</i> (hal. 18-20))<br />
<br />
Beberapa contoh hukum-hukum syariat Islam yang menggambarkan pemuliaan dan penghargaan Islam terhadap kaum perempuan:<br />
<br />
1. Kewajiban memakai jilbab (pakaian yang menutupi semua aurat secara sempurna bagi wanita ketika berada di luar rumah.<br />
<br />
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala berfirman,<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأزْوَاجِكَ وَبَنَاتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلابِيبِهِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَنْ يُعْرَفْنَ فَلا يُؤْذَيْنَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا</b></span><br />
<br />
<i>“Hai Nabi, katakanlah kepada istri-istrimu, anak-anak perempuanmu, dan istri-istri orang mukmin agar hendaklah mereka mengulurkan jilbabnya ke seluruh tubuh mereka. Yang demikian itu supaya mereka lebih mudah untuk dikenal, sehingga mereka tidak diganggu/disakiti. Dan Allah adalah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.”</i> (QS al-Ahzaab,59)<br />
<br />
Dalam ayat ini Allah menjelaskan kewajiban memakai jilbab bagi wanita dan hikmah dari hukum syariat ini, yaitu, “Supaya mereka lebih mudah untuk dikenal, sehingga mereka tidak diganggu/disakiti”.<br />
<br />
Syaikh Abdurrahman as-Sa’di berkata, “Ini menunjukkan bahwa gangguan (bagi wanita dari orang-orang yang berakhlak buruk) akan timbul jika wanita itu tidak mengenakan jilbab (yang sesuai dengan syariat). Hal ini dikarenakan jika wanita tidak memakai jilbab, boleh jadi orang akan menyangka bahwa dia bukan wanita yang ‘afifah (terjaga kehormatannya), sehingga orang yang ada penyakit (syahwat) dalam hatiya akan mengganggu dan menyakiti wanita tersebut, atau bahkan merendahkan/melecehkannya. Maka dengan memakai jilbab (yang sesuai dengan syariat) akan mencegah (timbulnya) keinginan-keinginan (buruk) terhadap diri wanita dari orang-orang yang mempunyai niat buruk”. (Kitab <i>Taisiirul Kariimir Rahmaan</i> (hal. 489))<br />
<br />
2. Kewajiban memasang hijab/tabir untuk melindungi perempuan dari pandangan laki-laki yang bukan mahramnya.<br />
<br />
Allah berfirman menerangkan hikmah agung disyariatkannya hijab/tabir antara laki-laki dan perempuan,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ ذَلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Dan apabila kamu meminta sesuatu (keperluan) kepada mereka (isteri-isteri Nabi), maka mintalah dari belakang tabir. Cara yang demikian itu lebih suci bagi hatimu dan hati mereka.”</i> (Qs. al-Ahzaab: 53)<br />
<br />
Syaikh Muhammad bin Ibarahim Alu syaikh berkata, “(Dalam ayat ini) Allah menyifati hijab/tabir sebagai kesucian bagi hatinya orang-orang yang beriman, laki-laki maupun perempuan, karena mata manusia kalau tidak melihat (sesuatu yang mengundang syahwat, karena terhalangi hijab/tabir) maka hatinya tidak akan berhasrat (buruk). Oleh karena itu, dalam kondisi ini hati manusia akan lebih suci, sehingga (peluang) tidak timbulnya fitnah (kerusakan) pun lebih besar, karena hijab/tabir benar-benar mencegah (timbulnya) keinginan-keinginan (buruk) dari orang-orang yang ada penyakit (dalam) hatinya”. (Kitab<i> al-Hijaabu wa Fadha-iluhu</i> (hal. 3))<br />
<br />
3. Kewajiban wanita untuk menetap di dalam rumah dan hanya boleh keluar rumah jika ada kepentingan yang dibenarkan dalam agama. (Lihat kitab<i> Hiraasatul Fadhiilah</i> (hal. 53))<br />
<br />
Allah Ta’ala berfirman,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَى، وَأَقِمْنَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآَتِينَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Dan hendaklah kalian (wahai istri-istri Nabi) menetap di rumah-rumah kalian dan janganlah kalian bertabarruj (sering keluar rumah dengan berhias dan bertingkah laku) seperti (kebiasaan) wanita-wanita Jahiliyah yang dahulu, dan dirikanlah shalat, tunaikanlah zakat dan taatilah Allah dan Rasul-Nya. Sesungguhnya Allah bermaksud hendak menghilangkan dosa dari kamu, hai ahlul bait (istri-istri Nabi) dan membersihkan kamu sebersih-bersihnya.”</i> (Qs. al-Ahzaab: 33)<br />
<br />
Dalam hadits yang shahih Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda, <i>“Sesungguhnya wanita adalah aurat, maka jika dia keluar (rumah) setan akan mengikutinya (menghiasainya agar menjadi fitnah bagi laki-laki), dan keadaanya yang paling dekat dengan Rabbnya (Allah ) adalah ketika dia berada di dalam rumahnya.”</i> (HR Ibnu Khuzaimah (no. 1685), Ibnu Hibban (no. 5599) dan at-Thabrani dalam “al-Mu’jamul ausath” (no. 2890), dinyatakan shahih oleh Ibnu Khuzaimah, Ibnu Hibban, al-Mundziri dan syikh al-Albani dalam “Silsilatul ahaaditsish shahiihah” (no. 2688))<br />
<br />
Syaikh Bakr Abu Zaid ketika menerangkan hikmah agung diharamkannya tabarruj dalam Islam, beliau berkata, “Adapun dalam agama Islam maka perbuatan ini (tabarruj) diharamkan, dengan kuat dan kokohnya keimanan yang menancap dalam hati seorang wanita muslimah, dalam rangka (mewujudkan) ketaatannya kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, serta (dalam rangka) menghiasi diri dengan kesucian dan kemuliaan, menghindarkan diri dari kehinaan, juga (dalam rangka) menjauhi perbuatan dosa, memperhitungkan pahala dan ganjaran (dari-Nya), serta takut akan siksaan-Nya yang pedih. Maka wajib bagi para wanita muslimah untuk bertakwa kepada Allah dan menjauhi (semua perbuatan) yang dilarang oleh Allah dan Rasul-Nya shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, supaya mereka tidak ikut serta dalam menyusupkan kerusakan di dalam (tubuh) kaum muslimin, dengan tersebarnya perbuatan-perbuatan keji, merusak (moral) anggota keluarga dan rumah tangga, serta merajalelanya perbuatan zina. Juga supaya mereka tidak menjadi sebab yang mengundang pandangan mata yang berkhianat dan hati yang berpenyakit (yang menyimpan keinginan buruk) kepada mereka, sehingga mereka berdosa dan menjadikan orang lain (juga) berdosa”.(Lihat kitab Hiraasatul Fadhiilah (hal. 105))<br />
<br />
4. Tugas dan tanggung jawab kaum wanita, yaitu mendidik dan mengarahkan anak-anak di dalam rumah.<br />
Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>“ألا كلكم راع وكلكم مسؤول عن رعيته، … والمرأة راعية على بيت بعلها وولده وهي مسؤولة عنهم”</b></span></div><br />
“Ketahuilah, kalian semua adalah pemimpin dan kalian semua akan dimintai pertanggungjawaban tentang apa yang dipimpinnya …seorang wanita (istri) adalah pemimpin di rumah suaminya bagi anak-anaknya, dan dia akan dimintai pertanggungjawaban tentang (perbuatan) mereka.”(HR. al-Bukhari (no. 2416) dan Muslim (no. 1829))<br />
<br />
Tugas dan tanggung jawab ini menunjukkan agungnya kedudukan dan peran kaum wanita dalam Islam, karena merekalah pendidik pertama dan utama generasi muda Islam, yang dengan memberikan bimbingan yang baik bagi mereka, berarti telah mengusahakan perbaikan besar bagi masyarakat dan umat Islam.<br />
Syaikh Muhammad bin Shaleh al-Utsaimin berkata, “Sesungguhnya kaum wanita memiliki peran yang agung dan penting dalam upaya memperbaiki (kondisi) masyarakat, hal ini dikarenakan (upaya) memperbaiki (kondisi) masyarakat itu ditempuh dari dua sisi,<br />
<br />
- Yang pertama, perbaikan (kondisi) di luar (rumah), yang dilakukan di pasar, mesjid dan tempat-tempat lainnya di luar (rumah). Yang perbaikan ini didominasi oleh kaum laki-laki, karena merekalah orang-orang yang beraktifitas di luar (rumah).<br />
<br />
- Yang kedua, perbaikan di balik dinding (di dalam rumah), yang ini dilakukan di dalam rumah. Tugas (mulia) ini umumnya disandarkan kepada kaum wanita, karena merekalah pemimpin/pendidik di dalam rumah.<br />
Oleh karena itu, tidak salah kalau sekiranya kita mengatakan, bahwa sesungguhnya kebaikan separuh atau bahkan lebih dari (jumlah) masyarakat disandarkan kepada kaum wanita. Hal ini dikarenakan dua hal,<br />
<br />
1. Jumlah kaum wanita sama dengan jumlah laki-laki, bahkan lebih banyak dari laki-laki. Ini berarti umat manusia yang terbanyak adalah kaum wanita, sebagaimana yang ditunjukkan dalam hadits-hadits Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alahi wa salla. Berdasarkan semua ini, maka kaum wanita memiliki peran yang sangat besar dalam memperbaiki (kondisi) masyarakat.<br />
<br />
2. Awal mula tumbuhnya generasi baru adalah dalam asuhan para wanita, yang ini semua menunjukkan mulianya tugas kaum wanita dalam (upaya) memperbaiki masyarakat. (Kitab Daurul Mar-ati fi ishlaahil Mujtama’ (hal. 3-4))<br />
<br />
<b>Bangga Sebagai Wanita Muslimah</b><br />
<br />
Contoh-contah di atas cuma sebagian kecil dari hukum-hukum syariat yang menggambarkan penghargaan dan pemuliaan Islam terhadap kaum perempuan. Oleh karena itulah, seorang wanita muslimah yang telah mendapatkan anugerah hidayah dari Allah untuk berpegang teguh dengan agama ini, hendaklah dia merasa bangga dalam menjalankan hukum-hukum syariat-Nya. Karena dengan itulah dia akan meraih kemuliaan yang hakiki di dunia dan akhirat, dan semua itu jauh lebih agung dan utama dari pada semua kesenangan duniawi yang dikumpulkan oleh manusia.<br />
<br />
Allah berfirman,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Katakanlah, ‘Dengan karunia Allah dan rahmat-Nya, hendaklah dengan itu mereka (orang-orang yang beriman) bergembira (berbangga), kurnia Allah dan rahmat-Nya itu adalah lebih baik dari apa (kemewahan duniawi) yang dikumpulkan (oleh manusia)’.”</i> (Qs. Yunus: 58)<br />
<br />
<b>“Karunia Allah”</b> dalam ayat ini ditafsirkan oleh para ulama ahli tafsir dengan <b>“keimanan kepada-Nya”,</b> sedangkan <b>“Rahmat Allah” </b>ditafsirkan dengan <b>“al-Qur’an</b>“. (Lihat keterangan Imam Ibnul Qayyim dalam kitab <i>Miftahu Daaris Sa’aadah</i> (1/227))<br />
<br />
Dalam ayat lain Allah Ta’ala berfirman,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Dan kemuliaan (yang sebenarnya) itu hanyalah milik Allah, milik Rasul-Nya dan milik orang-orang yang beriman, akan tetapi orang-orang munafik itu tiada mengetahui.”</i> (Qs. al-Munaafiqun: 8)<br />
<br />
Dalam ucapannya yang terkenal Umar bin Khattab <i>radhiallahu’anhu</i> berkata, “Dulunya kita adalah kaum yang paling hina, kemudian Allah memuliakan kita dengan agama Islam, maka kalau kita mencari kemuliaan dengan selain agama Islam ini, pasti Allah akan menjadikan kita hina dan rendah.”( Riwayat Al Hakim dalam “Al Mustadrak” (1/130), dinyatakan shahih oleh Al Hakim dan disepakati oleh Adz Dzahabi)<br />
<br />
<b>Penutup</b><br />
<br />
Dalam al-Qur’an Allah Yang Maha Adil dan Bijaksana telah menjelaskan sebab untuk meraih kemuliaan yang hakiki di dunia dan akhirat bagi laki-laki maupun perempuan, yang sesuai dengan kondisi dan kodrat masing-masing.<br />
<br />
Renungkanlah ayat yang mulia berikut ini,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ</b></span></div><br />
<i>“Kaum laki-laki itu adalah pemimpin bagi kaum wanita, oleh karena Allah telah melebihkan sebahagian mereka (laki-laki) atas sebahagian yang lain(wanita), dan karena mereka (laki-laki) telah menafkahkan sebahagian dari harta mereka. Maka Wanita yang shaleh adalah wanita yang taat kepada Allah lagi memelihara diri ketika suaminya tidak ada, oleh karena Allah telah memelihara (memberi taufik kepadanya).” </i>(Qs. an-Nisaa’: 34)<br />
<br />
Semoga Allah menjadikan tulisan ini bermanfaat dan sebagai nasehat bagi para wanita muslimah untuk kembali kepada kemuliaan mereka yang sebenarnya dengan menjalankan petunjuk Allah Ta’ala dalam agama Islam.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">"Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended.

In this sense, the term is used to refer not only to the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_and_communication_technology" title="Information and communication technology">information and communication technology</a> (ICT) an organization uses, but also to the way in which people interact with this technology in support of business processes <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_system#cite_note-1">[2]</a></sup>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Some make a clear distinction between information systems, ICT and business processes. Information systems are distinct from information technology in that an information system is typically seen as having an ICT component. Information systems are also different from business processes. Information systems help to control the performance of business processes <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_system#cite_note-2">[3]</a></sup>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Alter argues for an information system as a special type of work system. A work system is a system in which humans and/or machines perform work using resources (including ICT) to produce specific products and/or services for customers. An information system is a work system whose activities are devoted to processing (capturing, transmitting, storing, retrieving, manipulating and displaying) information <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_system#cite_note-3">[4]</a></sup>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Part of the difficulty in defining the term <i>information system</i> is due to vagueness in the definition of related terms such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System" title="System">system</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information" title="Information">information</a>. Beynon-Davies argues for a clearer terminology based in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemics" title="Systemics">systemics</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics" title="Semiotics">semiotics</a>. He defines an information system as an example of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System" title="System">system</a> concerned with the manipulation of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signs" title="Signs">signs</a>. An information system is a type of socio-technical system. An information system is a mediating construct between actions and technology <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_system#cite_note-4">[5]</a></sup>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">As such, information systems inter-relate with <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_systems" title="Data systems">data systems</a> on the one hand and <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_systems" title="Activity

This approach offers many advantages. These two databases are known as the <i>front-end</i><i>back-end</i> database.</span> database and the <br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The front-end database has three basic characteristics: </span><br />
<ul type="disc"><li><span style="font-size: large;"> It contains non-data objects, such as saved queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules. It can also contain additional objects created by the user for personal use.</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> It serves as an area for managing temporary objects. Most multiuser solutions perform some type of data access that is temporary in nature: creating tables with transient data, for example.</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> You distribute a copy for each user to run from his or her workstation.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: large;">The back-end database contains the tables that hold your solution's data. The tables in this database are accessed by your solution through links in the front-end database. Figure 16.1 illustrates the two-database approach.</span><br />
<div class="label"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Figure 16.1 The Two-Database Approach</b></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/Aa141493.01601%28en-us,office.10%29.gif" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you know from the beginning that you intend to split your solution into two database files, you can develop it with this in mind. Or you can keep tables and objects together in the same file and split them only when you're finished with development and are ready to distribute the solution. The easiest way to split a solution after creating its objects is to use the Database Splitter Wizard.</span><br />
<div class="label"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>To split an Access solution after creating its objects</b></span> </div><ol><li><span style="font-size: large;"> On the <b>Tools</b> menu, point to <b>Add-ins</b>, and then click <b>Database Splitter</b>.</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Follow the instructions in the dialog boxes that appear.</span></li>
</ol><span style="font-size: large;">The Database Splitter Wizard creates a new, empty back-end database. It moves all tables in the current database to the new back-end database, preserving table relationships and properties. The current database is now the front-end database. The wizard then links each table in the back-end database to the front-end database. For information about linking tables by using ADO code, see Chapter 14, "<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa141802%28office.10%29.aspx" id="ctl00_MTCS_main_ctl01" onclick="javascript:Track('ctl00_MTCS_main_ctl00|ctl00_MTCS_main_ctl01',this);">Working with the Data Access Components of an Office Solution</a>."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The links used by linked tables in the front-end database are based on the location of the back-end database. If users move the back-end database to a different location, the links will fail. If the current links are broken, you can automate the process of linking tables for your users by prompting them for the path to the back-end database when they start your solution. Then you can refresh the links to your solution's tables. For an example of how to do this, see the RefreshLinks procedure in Chapter 14, "<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa141802%28office.10%29.aspx" id="ctl00_MTCS_main_ctl02" onclick="javascript:Track('ctl00_MTCS_main_ctl00|ctl00_MTCS_main_ctl02',this);">Working with the Data Access Components of an Office Solution</a>" (the procedure can also be found in the CreateDatabase module in the DataAccess.mdb sample file, which is available in the ODETools\V9\Samples\OPG\Samples\CH14 subfolder on the Office 2000 Developer CD-ROM).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The advantages of using the two-database approach in a multiuser environment are as follows: </span><br />
<ul type="disc"><li><span style="font-size: large;"> By storing the front-end database on the user's workstation, there is no contention for temporary objects, such as creating a temporary table, because only one user has the front-end database open. </span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> By storing application-specific objects that are typically static in nature on the user's workstation, the amount of network traffic that occurs while your solution runs is minimized.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.registryeasy.ws/send.php?s=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2V4ZWMvb2JpZG9zL0FTSU4vQjAwMTI2QUUwTS9yZWdpZWFzeS0yMC8=" rel="nofollow"> </a></span> </td> <td class="descriptioncell arow productRowEven" valign="top"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />

Data processing meant running millions of punched cards through banks of sorting, collating and tabulating machines, with the results being printed on paper or punched onto still more cards. And data management meant physically storing and hauling around all those punched cards. <br />
<br />
That began to change in 1951, when Remington Rand Inc.'s Univac I computer offered a magnetic tape drive that could input hundreds of records per second. In 1956, IBM rolled out the first disk drive, the Model 305 RAMAC. The drive had 50 platters, each 2 ft. in diameter, that could hold a total of 5MB of data. With disks, data could be accessed at random, not just sequentially, as with cards and tape. <br />
<br />
But for decades, most firms had only used data in batch runs for accounting, and it took time for an idea like navigating through data to catch on. <br />
<br />
<b>Data Management Is Born</b> <br />
<br />
In 1961, Charles Bachman at General Electric Co. developed the first successful database management system. Bachman's integrated data store (IDS) featured data schemas and logging. But it ran only on GE mainframes, could use only a single file for the database, and all generation of data tables had to be hand-coded. <br />
<br />
One customer, BF Goodrich Chemical Co., eventually had to rewrite the entire system to make it usable, calling the result integrated data management system (IDMS). <br />
<br />
In 1968, IBM rolled out IMS, a hierarchical database for its mainframes. In 1973, Cullinane Corp. (later called Cullinet Software Inc.) began selling a much-enhanced version of Goodrich's IDMS and was on its way to becoming the largest software company in the world at that time. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, IBM researcher Edgar F. "Ted" Codd was looking for a better way to organize databases. In 1969, Codd came up with the idea of a relational database, organized entirely in flat tables. IBM put more people to work on the project, code-named System/R, in its San Jose labs. However, IBM's commitment to IMS kept System/R from becoming a product until 1980. <br />
<br />
But at the University of California, Berkeley in 1973, Michael Stonebraker and Eugene Wong used published information on System/R to begin work on their own relational database. Their Ingres project would eventually be commercialized by Oracle Corp., Ingres Corp. and other Silicon Valley vendors. And in 1976, Honeywell Inc. shipped Multics Relational Data Store, the first commercial relational database. <br />
<br />
By the late 1960s, a new kind of database software was being developed: decision support systems (DSS), designed to let managers put data to better use in their decision-making. The first commercial online analytical processing tool, Express, became available in 1970. Other DSS systems followed, many developed inside corporate IT departments. <br />
<br />
In 1985, the first "business intelligence" system was developed for Procter & Gamble Co. by Metaphor Computer Systems Inc. to link sales information and retail scanner data. That same year, Pilot Software Inc. began selling Command Center, the first commercial client/server executive information system. <br />
<br />
Also that year, back at Berkeley, the Ingres project had mutated into Postgres, with a goal of developing an object-oriented database. The next year, Graphael Inc. shipped Gbase, the first commercial object database. <br />
<br />
In 1988, IBM researchers Barry Devlin and Paul Murphy coined the term information warehouse, and IT shops began building experimental data warehouses. In 1991, W.H. "Bill" Inmon made data warehouses practical when he published a how-to guide, Building the Data Warehouse (John Wiley & Sons). <br />
<br />
With the widespread adoption of PC-based client/server computing and packaged enterprise software in the 1990s, the transformation of data management was complete. It was no longer just storing and maintaining data, but slicing, dicing and serving it up in whatever ways users demanded. <br />
<br />
And now, on with the story. . . . <br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">“O children of Adam! We have sent clothing to you to cover the shameful parts of your body and to serve as a protection and decoration; but the best clothing is the clothing of piety” [7:26]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">WHY COVER?</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In Islam, dress has 4 functions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. COVERING</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Dress conceals the private parts of the body that are called 'aurah in Islam. Muslims do not expose what Allah commands to be kept private. Allah forbids nudity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. PROTECTION</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"And (Allah) has made garments to protect you from the heat (and cold)... " [16:81]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Dress protects the body from the weather; or heat, cold, wind and rain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">People living in desert region cover their heads and faces to prevent sand carrying living microorganisms entering their ears, noses, eyes and mouths.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">3. ADORNMENT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Dress is worn to adorn and beautify the human personality, bestowing on it dignity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty.[Sahih Muslim]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4. MORAL FUNCTION</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Islamic dress helps safeguard the modesty and decency of a person and the moral ideal of society, where sex is permitted only in marriage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">There is a deep impact which outer modesty makes on inner spiritual well-being. Also, inner spirituality is reflected on one's appearance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In Islam, both men and women should be custodians of the morality and society.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">What Allah says in the Noble Qur'an :</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">-Modesty of Men</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do."[24:30]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">-Modesty of women and their dress in public</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments (in public) beyond what may decently be apparent. Hence, let them draw their head-coverings over their bosoms. And let them not display (more of) their charms to any but their husbands, or their father,..."[24:31]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">-Protection for women</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"O Prophet! Tell your wives, daughters and the believing woman that they should draw their outer garments (hijab), over their persons (when in public). That is more proper that they should be recognized (as decent women) and not molested." [33:59]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When should Muslims be dressed best?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"O cildren of Adam! Wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer." [7:31]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">ISLAMIC DRESS : An Identity, not a uniform!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Islam, being a universal religion, has not set any particular form or style of dress. All manner of dress is acceptable as long as certain guidelines are followed. These guidelines apply to both men and women.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">WHAT TO COVER?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Islamic dress must cover the 'aurah. 'Aurah is the parts of the body which cannot be exposed to others. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) defined 'aurah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">'Aurah is different for men and women.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A man's 'aurah extends from his navel to his knees. Most men choose to cover more than this minimum requirement. A woman's 'aurah outside her home and/or in the presence of non-mahram (not close relatives) men is her whole body except her face, hands and feet. Some scholars also include her feet. The head covering or hijab is a command of Allah. The face-veil or niqab is not a requirement, but some Muslim women choose to wear it for greater modesty, out of conviction that Islam requires it, or because of cultural tradition.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Muslim women are not permitted to cover their faces during prayer, while performing the pilgrimage rites in Mecca, when giving legal testimony, or when identification is crucial for security purposes. In her home, Muslim women may uncover their heads, arms, feet and legs below the knees. And in privacy with her husband, no part of her needs to be covered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">HOW TO COVER?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) admonished:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">" Do not appear naked while fully clothed."[Bukhari]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Dress should not be transparent, showing the skin or so tight-fitting that it reveals the shape and sexual contours of the body. Loose-fitting clothes make prayer easier to perform.Dress should not be so outlandish or glamorous that it is provocative. However, Muslims may be as provocatively dressed (or undressed) as they like when they are with their spouses in private.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">GENDER-APPROPRIATE</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Men are not allowed to dress (and behave) like women, or as women. They are forbidden to wear pure silk and gold. Muslim men must be manly!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Likewise, women should not imitate men in dress (and behaviour too). Muslim women are feminine. Islam sets distinct and complementary roles for men and women in harmony with the natural disposition of goodness (fitrah) that Allah created them with.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Gender-appropriate dressing helps men and women fulfill their roles better.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">MEN IN WHITE, WOMEN IN BLACK</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In Islam, there is no "holy" colours. Islam does not require women to be always dressed in black or blue in public. This is cultural tradition practiced in some Muslim countries, or a rule imposed by certain Muslims authorities so as to enforce greater morality. Darker colours are worn because they conceal better.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Muslim men need not always wear white. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wore clothes of various colours. However he recommended that white clothes be worn on Fridays and other assemblies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"The purity and simple beauty of white befits the honour and dignity of man" [An Nasa'i]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Prophet (pbuh) also grew a beard and often wore a turban on his head. Muslim men, out of their love for the Prophet, emulate him not only in character and conduct but also in dress and grooming.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">HUMILITY AND THANKFULNESS</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said : “Allah likes to see the signs of His bounties on His servants. “ [Tirmidhi]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He also said: “ Eat, drink, wear clothes, and give charity without extravagance and conceit.” [Bukhari]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Allah has not forbidden fine clothes, unless worn in arrogance and wastefulness. Allah’s bounty should not be flaunted lest it provokes envy and ill-feeling. Humility before The Creator and fellow human beings is a virtue. It’s difficult to be humble when one is decked in thousand dollar suits! However, Allah also dislikes slovenliness as a pretentious show of one’s poverty. Moderation and simplicity is always the preferred way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">THE LIBERATED MUSLIM WOMAN (AND MAN)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Islamic dress does not degrade or oppress women. Rather, it gives them dignity because it protects them from exploitation as sexual objects, and enslavement by the fashion, cosmetics, film and advertising industries. Dignity and protection, together with many rights that Islam grants women (which modern world has recognized only in the last 60 years) guarantees the high status of women in Islam. The incorrect practice of Islam in many Muslim countries does not represent TRUE ISLAM. Regrettably, the movie industry has now begun to blatantly exploit male sexuality. Islamic dress also preserves men’s dignity.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">THE MUSLIM IDENTITY</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Muslim men and women who dress as Allah commands them present an image of dignity, modesty and morality. This is the Muslim identity, unmistakably recognized anywhere in the world. Obey Allah and be loved by Him!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The behavior and personality of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are the best examples to follow in Life. A companion of his, who spent full ten years with him, has said:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Throughout my stay with him I never heard an indecent word from his lips and never found him rude to anyone. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) spoke very politely. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was kind to everyone."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Although Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the Prophet of Allah and had been appointed by Allah to guide the people, yet he was not ashamed of doing his work with his own hands. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) assisted the members of his family in household work and performed the jobs of other persons with great pleasure. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mended his clothes and shoes. He also took part in the construction of Masjid al-Nabi in Medina along with his companions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">His dress was always clean, though simple. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was very mindful of cleanliness. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) washed his hands and mouth before and after taking his meals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was so kind and generous that he never refused a reasonable request of any person. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) often distributed edibles among others and went without meals himself. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) always helped the needy and the poor and went to the houses of the sick to enquire after their health.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Whenever he met anyone he said, 'Salamun Alaikum'. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) always spoke with a smiling face.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was a model of all the virtues and qualities of a believer described in the Noble Qur'an. None can describe him better than Allah who has said he possessed the noblest character.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar for him who hopes in Allah and the latter day and remembers Allah much." Noble Qur'an (33:21)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"And thou (Muhammad) (standest) on an exalted standard of character." Noble Qur'an (68:4)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds." Noble Qur'an (21:107)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said, "I have been sent only for the purpose of perfecting good morals".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said, "The best of you are those who have the best morals".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said, "You cannot treat people by means of your wealth; hence, you should treat them by means of your moral conduct".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said, "The most (important) things that cause people to reach Heaven are divine piety and a good temper".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) BIOGRAPHY: KINDNESS AND FORGIVENESS</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">More than 1400 years ago in Arabia the people were living very much in fear. They feared their neighbors. They feared other tribes. They even feared their idols. For this was the time before Islam. The Arabs were worshipping idols. In their ignorance they would bury their newly born daughters alive. As Islam began to spread among Arabs such cruel practices stopped. Islam taught love and peace. It taught kindness and respect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) himself was a very kind and loving person. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) treated every one, young and old, with kindness and respect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Because Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was spreading the word of Allah. And he was changing, for better, the lives of many Arabs and because some Arabs felt that by the teaching of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) their old idols were losing power they disliked Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and planned to kill him. Every time they tried to kill him, they failed. This angered the enemies of Islam even more. So they began to harass him in every way they knew.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One old woman made a habit of throwing rubbish on Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) whenever he passed from her house. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had to pass that house daily on the way to the mosque. Even when the old woman threw rubbish on him, he would pass silently without showing any anger or annoyance. This was a regular, daily event.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One day when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was passing by the woman was not there to throw the rubbish. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) stopped and asked the neighbor about her well-being. The neighbor informed the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that the woman was sick on bed. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) politely asked permission to visit the woman. When allowed he entered the house, the woman thought that he had come there to take his revenge when she was unable to defend herself because of sickness. But the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) assured her that he had come to her, not to take any revenge, but to see her and to look after her needs, as it was the command of Allah that if any one is sick, a Muslim should visit him and should help him if his help is needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The old woman was greatly moved by this kindness and love of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). By the example of greatness of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), she understood that he was truly the Prophet of Allah and Islam was the true religion. She accepted Islam at once.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) BIOGRAPHY: THE HELPLESS IDOL</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It was hardly three years since the people of Madina had embraced Islam and had started to worship Allah. The young boys in the city were given a job to eradicate the worship of idols. Wherever they saw an idol, they destroyed it and set fire to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One day, the youths came to know that Omar bin Janab, the chief of Bani Salma tribe, had still preserved his idol and worshipped it. In order to impress upon him the uselessness of worshipping an idol made of wood, they removed it from his place and threw it down a pit. The chief of Bani Salma tribe, on tracing the idol to where it was lying brought it back, washed it and kept it in its original place. But the next day again it was removed and thrown into the pit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The chief of Bani Salma tribe was very much disturbed at this or the last he brought home this idol and cleaned it. He then put his sword around its neck and said to the idol: "If henceforth anybody comes to you, promptly take action and kill him with the sword."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">On the next day, the idol was again missing. This time he found it tied to a dead body of a dog. There was no effect at all of the sword which he had tied around the neck of the idol. This incident made him lose faith in his man-made wooden idol. He abandoned the idol worship altogether. On becoming a Muslim, he uttered a poem as under:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"Alas O my idol! If you were my God, you would not have reached this stage and I would not have seen you in the pit along with a dead dog. I have now put my faith in the Almighty Allah, from Whom come all blessings. It is He Who has freed me from darkness of ignorance."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This is one of the examples of how the young Muslim volunteers of Medina helped the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in putting an end to idol worship and spread the true message of Islam.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) BIOGRAPHY: THE ONE WHO SEEKS TO BE INDEPENDENT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once found himself in severe poverty. His wife advised him to go to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and request his help.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The man approached the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), but as soon as the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) eyes fell upon the man, he said:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">If a person seeks something from me, I shall certainly grant it to him, but if he were to exhibit himself as being self-sufficient and free from want, Allah shall make him affluent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Hearing this, the man said to himself, The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has intended me by this speech of his.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Without uttering a word, he returned home and narrated the incident to his wife.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">His wife said, The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is also human; explain your dilemma to him and see what he has to say.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The man returned to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for the second time but heard the same sentence from him and again came back home without saying a word.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When this was repeated for the third time, the man borrowed a pickaxe from one of his friends and set off towards the mountains. Throughout the day he worked hard to gather firewood, which he sold for some flour and that night, he and his wife had bread for dinner.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The next day, he worked harder and collected more firewood and this continued for several days till he was able to purchase a pickaxe for himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">After some period, as a result of his hard work, he managed to purchase two camels and a slave, and slowly became one of the affluent ones.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One day, arriving before the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), he narrated to him the events of his life and the effect of his words, whereupon the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) responded:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I had said (before): "One who seeks to be independent (of others), Allah shall make him independent."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTf3wVfAG1Pi8nn0gpRCvmN3p3-o3dlOj0Kms59Z6_hIjemsswm-dZ08DPPc7DuNNTn04vHvVSeZhkqiP2AmlHS5rFk6a4aOlG7jmzjfU6VZXJZKx04eSphRw2KWBIBFnsuSjLWrwvQ/s1600-h/opened_quran.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443512391922156402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTf3wVfAG1Pi8nn0gpRCvmN3p3-o3dlOj0Kms59Z6_hIjemsswm-dZ08DPPc7DuNNTn04vHvVSeZhkqiP2AmlHS5rFk6a4aOlG7jmzjfU6VZXJZKx04eSphRw2KWBIBFnsuSjLWrwvQ/s320/opened_quran.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 295px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Are you one of those people who rarely touch the Qur’an? Or do you read daily, but don’t find it is having the impact on you that it should? Whatever the case may be, these are some simple tips that can help you connect with the Qur’an. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1. Before you touch it, check your heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The key to really benefiting from the Qur’an is to check your heart first, before you even touch Allah’s Book. Ask yourself, honestly, why you are reading it. Is it to just get some information and to let it drift away from you later? Remember that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was described by his wife as a “walking Qur’an”: in other words, he didn’t just read and recite the Qur’an, he lived it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">2. Do your Wudu' (ablution). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Doing your Wudu is good physical and mental preparation to remind you that you’re not reading just another book. You are about to interact with God, so being clean should be a priority when communicating with Him. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">3. Read at least 5 minutes everyday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Too often, we think we should read Qur’an for at least one whole hour. If you aren’t in the habit of reading regularly, this is too much. Start off with just five minutes daily. If you took care of step one, Insha Allah (God willing), you will notice that those five minutes will become 10, then half an hour, then an hour, and maybe even more! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">4. Make sure you understand what you’ve read. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Five minutes of reading the Qur’an in Arabic is good, but you need to understand what you’re reading. Make sure you have a good translation of the Qur’an in the language you understand best. Always try to read the translation of what you’ve read that day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">5. Remember, the Qur’an is more interactive than a CD. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In an age of “interactive” CD-Roms and computer programs, a number of people think books are passive and boring. But the Qur’an is not like that. Remember that when you read the Qur’an, you are interacting with Allah. He is talking to you, so pay attention. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">6. Don’t just read; listen too. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">There are now many audio cassettes and CDs of the Qur’an, a number of them with translations as well. This is great to put on your walkman or your car’s CD or stereo as you drive to and from work. Use this in addition to your daily Qur’an reading, not as a replacement for it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">7. Make Dua (supplication). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Ask Allah to guide you when you read the Qur’an. Your aim is to sincerely, for the love of Allah, interact with Him by reading, understanding and applying His blessed words. Making Dua to Allah for help and guidance will be your best tool for doing this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">with love and du'a</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I praise Allah for sending me you my love<br />
You found your home and sail with me<br />
And I`m here with you<br />
Now let me let you know<br />
You`ve opened my heart<br />
I was always thinking that love was wrong<br />
But everything was changed when you came along<br />
And there is a couple words I want to say<br />
<br />
For the rest of my life<br />
I`ll be with you<br />
I`ll stay by your side honest and true<br />
Till the end of my time<br />
I`ll be loving you...loving you<br />
For the rest of my life<br />
Thru days and night<br />
I`ll thank Allah for open my eyes<br />
Now and forever I…I`ll be there for you<br />
<br />
I know it deep in my heart<br />
I feel so blessed when I think of you<br />
And I ask Allah to bless all we do<br />
You`re my wife and my friend and my strength<br />
And I pray we`re together in Jannah<br />
Now I find myself so strong<br />
Everything changed when you came along<br />
And theres a couple word I want to say<br />
<br />
I know that deep in my heart now that you`re here<br />
Infront of me I strongly feel love<br />
And I have no doubt<br />
And I`m singing loud that I`ll love you eternally<br />
<br />
I know that deep in my heart..<br />

I’m missing my friends right now, missing those friends in Dungun. May they always are in Allah’s love and bless, ameen. Emm, I just have a chat with one of my friends from Dungun. We share lots of stories starting from sharing my feeling of missing all of them, planning to meet each other and my recent activities. She shares with a problem but I’m not going to share it here. I’ll share a story which similar to her and may it be a good reminder for us, a story of thinking good of others.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I still remember a story told by my beloved elder sister which she experienced while she was to park her car. I always share this story with my friends and now to you guys who are reading this blog now for us to check about ourselves. My sister is a wonderful, pious Muslimah who always trying to have a good relationship with Allah. One day, while she was waiting for her friend in the car park, she saw a woman riding on a bike, wearing a tight, sexy shirt and jeans with brown-dyed hair. She looks just like a spoilt woman. If we are looking at that kind of women, we may think that she is not a good Muslimah. My sister sighed, unhappy with those who wear like that. But my sister didn’t stop watching the woman which slowly stops her bike. She took something from her bike and went to a group of cats and gives to them the thing she took from her bike before which actually are food for the cats.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB_CxSd6weChacKSMF_RQCLE4BxfMtOZtbuIeFSQhVpDjSUE_NEd0OXk1LSQtXmC97XzHe0OprB4Tfa2cVrU2blz7jy8fuptUyvzz65DwEAPaE7_eeM8lbs1gXEu07DWifH0e2afuqnA/s1600-h/images.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443502354253039474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB_CxSd6weChacKSMF_RQCLE4BxfMtOZtbuIeFSQhVpDjSUE_NEd0OXk1LSQtXmC97XzHe0OprB4Tfa2cVrU2blz7jy8fuptUyvzz65DwEAPaE7_eeM8lbs1gXEu07DWifH0e2afuqnA/s320/images.jpeg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 124px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 119px;" /></a></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">After that she looks around whether there was any other cat to be fed. She gave every cat that she found until the food finished and she smiled with satisfaction. Subhanallah, how generous the heart of the woman which my sister thought was a bad one. Lets us check ourselves and learn a good lesson from this story. No matter how great and pious we are, we might not have the courage to do like what the woman did. Everyone have their own weaknesses. Human-being will never be perfect. We may wear according to the Muslimah clothing code perfectly, doing the best ibadah but there must be somewhere unexpectedly we commit sins and did wrong. It goes the same with the women. We never know the truth about her which she might be better than us. We are not the one who can judge others. Its Allah, the only who can judge us. Maybe her kindness will be greatly granted by Allah due to her sincere heart. Everybody in this world, no matter how bad they are, there must be good things they did which Allah prefer and favor better. Allah knows best whatever done by His slaves. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">"And with Him are the keys of the Invisible. None but He knoweth them. And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but (it is noted) in a clear record". (6:59) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I have friends from various background and interest, I observe a lot and what I shared is a reality. I have a friend who really try and do the best ibadah but her relationship with other people was ignored. And a friend similar to the woman earlier but her ibadah to Allah was carefully done. Look! How imperfect we are. So, friends, lets check ourselves, let’s correct ourselves so we can get Allah’s love. And to my friend, may the story I shared here can change us for the better. Human is not perfect! OK my dear, I love you!</span><br />
