When The Heart Can't Express

Realizing That You Don't Need Certain People , There's a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but it's not giving up, it's realizing that you don't need certain people and their crap.

There are always going to be certain people within our lives that will slow us down from our forward progression if we choose to allow them to do so. Instead of trying to fix everything the way that they want it to be in life, that they have to work with life the way that it is, and even work with variables that they would rather not work with.

It is not about giving up on people, but it is more about being able to tell the difference between giving up and moving on, and stopping others from preventing their own lives to blossom. As the quote states there is a point in many people's lives that they must realize that instead of chasing the ones who ignore them, that they must love the ones who love them completely. Not everything in life is for you, and not every situation is for you to fix, sometimes you must let things be, move on, and learn how to let go.

Ask Him To Heal Your Heart

Sometimes it is hard to go on with life because it all seems so blurry and so meaningless. It hurts to not enjoy what you loved the most, to always feel so empty inside, to forever be lonely even though you're surrounded by many who love you. Oh, how you wish people actually saw what was inside of you, how you wish they could read your mind and comfort your aching heart, but you feel all alone in this strange state of painful emotions and heartache. It feels as though there is an actual void in your heart--one you never knew existed.

The worst thing about this is that you cannot ever remember the last time you ever had a genuine smile and felt happy. Most often you break down in tears yet you don't know or understand why your tears flow uncontrollably.

This pain you're going through is so unbearable yet you choose to go through it alone because you do not wish to worry those you love. So, you struggle to fake your smile, to fake your laughter and to fake who you used to be. Often you seclude yourself so the need to "fake" anything does not rise---however, you really want this out of your system and would love someone to talk to, someone to lend you a shoulder to really cry on, someone to give you a comforting hug and tell you its going to be alright.

The reality is though, people look at you but they never see the pain you hide inside. You ask "Am I really good at faking or do people just ignore me? or Is there anyone who could ever see through my eyes and see the scars in my heart?"

The answer is YES....there is someone who sees your every pain, hears your silent cries, and works very hard to heal your heart. Its no other but the one who created you from dust and the one you shall return to. Allaah ta'ala is closer to you than anyone and He can help you through anything. You just have to completely trust His divine help and give your heart to him.

I know its hard to do that part because of feeling empty within, but know that help is only with Allaah, so if it hurts too much, be close to Him, talk to Him through your prayers and let His divine words heal you. Also know that you're not alone in this state of depression and loneliness. Dont be afraid to talk to someone you trust , even if it means that person sees your weakness through the tears! Don't ever be scared of putting your feeling out there because concealing your pain only makes it worse

If all fails, keep a journal and write away all that pain , trust me you're going to lose so many tears and will not be able to finish a page, but by the time you're done, you're going to feel a lot better insha'Allah and always make dua to Allaah and ask Him to heal your heart!

Look At Yourself In The Mirror

How could you look at yourself in the mirror?

You stand for nothing and your heart is untrue , Every single thing about you's just a clone of the last "you"

All I want is to reach someone, to say something that could change their life forever, To let them know they're not alone, you're not alone , So many people wanna see me fail, so fucking clever but I'll spit in your face , I'll make sure you remember me

If all these words you speak of meant a thing , I'd take back all the lines against you that I sing, But I know that there's nothing real inside , Your heart's invested in feeding everyone lies

I've seen so many of you come and go, That's cuz you're in it for all the wrong fucking reasons , You can't expect to live off of lies and survive , I am who I am, this is what we are,  I don't care if this offends you, or your worthless god

To all the kids who's letters I receive , The broken hearted, the damaged just like me , I will be your voice to let the world know we stand as one , We're standing right here so come and fucking get us

Open your mind before your mouth ,  Or come and fucking get us , I'll be the end of your decadence I may not have built this kingdom but,  I'll make fucking sure that I protect it from you.

There's a difference between who we love, who we settle for, and who we're meant for.

There are huge differences between who you have settled for, who you are meant for, and who we love, this is a complicated but almost undeniable truth. Whether you choose to believe that a person in your life because they were meant for you, or because you just settled, we are all forced to answer the question of if the love that we have for a person is real or not at some point in time.

All is not fair in love, but all should be. If someone truly loves us we must be willing to let them know if we really love them, or if we think that we may just be settling for them because they have us feeling secure, or comfortable, everything but happy. It is not always easy to be honest about your feelings because it may hurt someone else's, but never live a life that you know isn't really yours to live. Never settle, love and love with all of you, that is what love is meant for!

Open Your Mind And Remind Yourself

“May Allah forgive me of my sins. The outward and the inward. The intentional and the unintentional. May Allah forgive me for being a repeat offender, sinning the same sin over and over again. May Allah forgive me for being heedless. For being ignorant. For being arrogant, ungrateful, inpatient. More importantly, May Allah forgive me for not seeking forgiveness for all the sins I have committed.

It's Okay Not To Be Perfect

It is important to remind ourselves that no matter what, not everything in our lives will always be as perfect as we may desire. In fact, the only thing perfect about man is that he is able to notice his own imperfections. Striving to live life perfectly is something that is utterly impossible to obtain, instead one should focus on living his or her best life.

Living your best life isn't about trying to be perfect, it is about a person living as who they are at heart, committing mistakes, and learning from these mistakes in order to produce more victories in life than losses. Not every championship has a perfect regular season, not every president had the best grades in grade school, and not every thriving business has always been a thriving business. It is okay to not be perfect, as long as you are always working on being better.

Remind yourself that it's okay not to be perfect.

Having The Satisfaction Of Knowing

Knowing is a 2009 American-British science fiction film mystery-thriller directed by Alex Proyas and starring Nicolas Cage. The project was originally attached to a number of directors under Columbia Pictures, but it was placed in turnaround and eventually picked up by Escape Artists. Production was financially backed by Summit Entertainment. Knowing was filmed in Docklands Studios Melbourne, Australia, using various locations to represent the film's Boston-area setting. The film was released on 20 March 2009, in the United States. The DVD and Blu-ray media were released on July 7, 2009.

In 1959 a child, Lucinda Embry, hears whispers as she stares at the sun. Later, she writes a page of seemingly random numbers to include in the school's time capsule, which will be opened after 50 years. When unable to complete this series of digits, she hides in the janitor's closet and is later found there by a teacher, scratching the remaining numbers into the door.

Fifty years later, Caleb Koestler is a student at Lucinda's school. When the time capsule is opened, Caleb gets Lucinda's page of numbers. Jonathan Koestler, (played by Nick Cage) Caleb's widower father, is a professor of astrophysics at MIT.

Hearing whispers, Caleb sees a mysterious stranger outside. Looking at the numbers, Jonathan notices the sequence 911012996 and realizes it is a reference to the date and number of deaths from the September 11th attacks (9/11/01/2996). Jonathan finds similar information based on other numbers on Caleb's sheet. The last three dates on the page are in the near future, and there are sequences between the dates which he cannot understand.

Caleb receives more visits from mysterious strangers who give him a small smooth stone, and show him visions of the world on fire. On his way to pick up Caleb from school, Jonathan notices the coordinates on his GPS, realizing that the numbers on the screen match those on Lucinda's list. His fears are realized moments later when a passenger jet crashes within view of the highway. He now understands that Lucinda's numbers pinpoint the time and place of disasters.

Jonathan tracks down Lucinda's daughter, Diana, and her daughter Abby, but scares them away when he reveals his interest in Lucinda's predictions. Jonathan pinpoints the next disaster to Worth Street in lower Manhattan. Guessing that it will be a terrorist attack and hoping to prevent the disaster, he phones in a terror warning. Traveling to New York, he is shocked to find the area has not been not closed off. He pursues a man into a subway station suspecting him to be a terrorist, but he is only a shoplifter. At that same moment an approaching train derails, smashing into the station and destroys much of the train Jonathan is on.

With the train disaster proving Jonathan's predictions, Diana decides to help Jonathan. She says that her mother used to hear voices, and that the next date, October 19, is the day she said she would die. In Lucinda's mobile home, they find pictures of the disasters she predicted, a copy of Matthäus Merian's engraving of Ezekiel's "chariot vision",[4] and a pile of small smooth stones near Lucinda's bed.

The last number appears to be "33" but is really "EE" written backwards. Jonathan and Diana soon learn that EE means "Everyone Else", representing a cataclysm that no one will escape. Outside, the Strangers appear around the car carrying the children. John drives them away only to hear from Abby that the "whisper people" want her and Caleb to go with them. The next day, John has a sudden revelation and rushes them to the MIT observatory, where he discovers that a massive solar flare will soon reach Earth.

Diana wants to hide in some caves. John agrees at first, but then returns to Lucinda's school for the numbers on the old door, thinking they may be coordinates leading to safety. Before he finds them Diana takes the children and heads for the caves. As Jonathan drives after them, he calls Diana and tries to persuade her against relying on the caves. He warns her that the solar flare will penetrate miles under ground.

While stopped for gas, Diana loses the children to the Strangers. Diana pursues them but is broadsided by a truck. John arrives just as Diana dies, finding the small stone in Diana's hand. He continues to Lucinda's mobile home, finding the children and the Strangers in a dry river bed covered with the stones. A vessel similar to the wheels in the engraving descends from the sky. John is refused entry but allows his son to leave as the Strangers dissolve into translucent alien figures resembling angels. The vessel departs with the children and a pair of rabbits, and a distant shot shows many similar vessels leaving earth.

The next morning the skies are full of smoke and heat. John makes it to the chaotic streets of New York City, arriving at his father's home. They embrace as the solar flare burns away the atmosphere and incinerates everything on the surface of the Earth and even below that. The film ends as Caleb and Abby arrive at an otherworldly valley, then run across a field of golden grass towards a large, white tree.

Islamic Blessing Quotes

When some blessings come to you have a faith and believe that all will be fine

When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness…all the good things.

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty

Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.

There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.

God disguised as myriad things, and playing a game of tag has kissed you and said, "You're it. I mean you're really it. Now it does not matter what you believe or feel. For something wonderful, something major-league wonderful, is someday going to happen."

Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.

My heart is soft, so don’t break it

I have taken your hand hoping that you will treat me like a princess. My heart is soft, so don’t break it with harsh words.

As you know women are made of irregular rib, I might not be perfect.

Don’t let me as I’m because I might become a loser. And also don’t try to make me

erect at once because I might break. Try to handle me smoothly Insha Allah I’ll be ok.

As you are my better half, always try to be better In sha Allah, that will give me the impression that you are the best husband in the world. Don’t blame me for my small mistakes. Forget them and forgive me. If you see any mistakes in me, please don’t point out them in front others. Make me recognize them with kind words.

Don’t describe about other ladies with me, because that might make me envy. Compliment me if I do anything that pleases you. If I want to talk to you please listen them carefully. That will give me an impression that you are there to care for me.

Some times I might lost my patience and I might turn wild, at that times kindly make me to recognize that I was wrong. If I demand you for little things, try to fulfill them if you can. If you can’t, explain me kindly. In sha Allah I will understand.

Understand me when no one does. That will give me hope in life. At least spend some hours to know how I feel.

In short be a mother when I’m sick.

Be father when I’m in need.

Be a brother when I want to share.

Be a best friend when I want to talk.

Hold my hands and take me in the path of Jannah! In sha Allah!

Let’s live as an exemplary couple, as another Muhammedh (sal) and Kadheeja (Rali).

And let us live as husband and wife even in Jannathul Firdous In sha Allah.

-Your future wife-

With lots and lots of love!!!

Never Stop Praying

You should never stop praying to your creator because when you pray, its a form of worship, when you remember him, its gratitude, when you seek his help, its praise, and when you trust him, you are surrendering to his will. Trust Allah, and seek his help, because through his help and guidance success is guaranteed. Remember, prayer is the best armor against all trials. 

"Even Sometimes what we need and what we want are not the same. Learn to trust God's choices for you, because God didn't give what you want but what you need"

The Day We Get Married

As women, the day we get married our order of priority and obedience changes. We used to be obedient to Allah, subhanallana wa taala, and our parents. After marriage, we are obedient to our Allah, subhaana wa taala, and our husbands. Our good company is best rewarded with our husbands. But for our husbands, it does not change. His obedience and after Allah, azza wa jal, is to his mother, then his father, and then his wife.

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: A man came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, who among people is most deserving of my good company?” He said, “Your mother.” He asked, “Then who?” He said, “Your mother.” He asked, “Then who?” He said, “Your mother.” He asked, “Then who?” He said, “Then your father.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5626; Muslim, 2548)

Sisters, rake in the rewards by encouraging your husband to fulfill his mother's rights! Encourage your husband to spend time with his mother. Encourage your husband to call her often, to visit her, take her gifts, thank her, show his love and appreciation. And when he is doing well by his mother, encourage him towards his father... but not in equal measure. You will gain rewards from your intention, from your husbands good actions, from your husband's mother's pleasure, from your husband's father's pleasure, from enjoining the good, and being a strong support to your fellow Muslims.

May Allah, the One who opens hearts, open our hearts and minds to all the chances of reward that are available to us and within our influence - ameen.

Like a shadow

This dunya (world) is like a shadow, run after it and you will never be able to catch it, turn your back against it and it has no choice but to follow you - Ibn al-Qayyim

Be thankful for the bad things in life, for they opened your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before. Be thankful to Allah, for he has been guiding you all along. Always be thankful to Allah, because you have much to be thankful for..!

If Allah blesses you with knowledge, you are required to shared it with everyone. Remember, Allah does not bless anybody with knowledge, he blesses those who are worthy and honest. This very blessing can be a test from Allah s.w.t. Take a minute to think of why you know some things that others don't. Is that message just for you, or for all humanity. If the answer is for all humanity, you are under Allah's obligation. You must share it with everyone, In Sha Allah!

O my Lord! Open the ears of our hearts for Your remembrance And keep us in the world on the destinations of your blessings.

Ya Allah! make us to fear you forever so much so that we get to meet You, and make the piety our provisions for journey, and to Your obedience be our efforts get served, And on You we are confide and have trust, and give an end to our lives with fortune and pleasure.

Ameen Ya Allah.

Semua Hal Ada Pada Diri Kita Sendiri

Terkadang hal-hal yang awal mulanya baik bisa menjadi berantakan ditengah jalan namun pada akhirnya akan menjadi semakin lebih baik ketika beberapa hal yang telah terjatuh bersama-sama. Kadang-kadang hal yang  telah terjadi dalam hidup kita supaya terlihat berkualitas, menjadi semakin berantakan. Banyak kali dalam saat-saat yang baik dalam hidup kita berserakan namun kita tidak dapat melihat bahwa pada akhirnya segalanya akan lebih baik dari mereka saat ini, kita hanya dapat melihat rasa sakit yang kita mungkin mengalaminya di suatu saat namun pada akhirnya segalanya akan menjadi lebih baik.

Alih-alih khawatir tentang apa yang kita lakukan di masa lalu, dan apa yang kita harus melepaskannya pergi, kita malah harus khawatir tentang menjalani kehidupan disetiap harinya sebanyak yang kita mungkin dapat melakukannya. Kita harus menjaga sikap bahwa pertumbuhan terus-menerus jauh lebih baik daripada berdiri diam dan bahwa meskipun ada beberapa hal dalam hidup yang bisa pecah, berserakan , berjatuhan maka kita harus membuat pilihan untuk lebih baik membiarkan hidup kita hancur berantakan, atau untuk mencoba dan membuat diri kita lebih kuat dari apa kita alami.

Dan kesemuanya adalah ada pada pilihan dan tindakan yang kita akan kita ambil dan kita lakukan.

Berlakunya Sunnah Allah

Sesungguhnya Allah menahan langit dan bumi supaya jangan lenyap; dan sungguh jika keduanya akan lenyap tidak ada seorangpun yang dapat menahan keduanya selain Allah. Sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Penyantun lagi Maha Pengampun.

Dan mereka bersumpah dengan nama Allah dengan sekuat-kuat sumpah; sesungguhnya jika datang kepada mereka seorang pemberi peringatan, niscaya mereka akan lebih mendapat petunjuk dari salah satu umat-umat yang lain. Tatkala datang kepada mereka pemberi peringatan, maka kedatangannya itu tidak menambah kepada mereka, kecuali jauhnya mereka dari kebenaran,

karena kesombongan mereka di muka bumi dan karena rencana mereka yang jahat. Rencana yang jahat itu tidak akan menimpa selain orang yang merencanakannya sendiri. Tiadalah yang mereka nanti-nantikan melainkan berlakunya sunnah Allah yang telah berlaku kepada orang-orang yang terdahulu. Maka sekali-kali kamu tidak akan mendapat penggantian bagi sunnah Allah, dan sekali-kali tidak pula akan menemui penyimpangan bagi sunnah Allah itu. 

Dan apakah mereka tidak berjalan di muka bumi, lalu melihat bagaimana kesudahan orang-orang yang sebelum mereka, sedangkan orang-orang itu adalah lebih besar kekuatannya dari mereka? Dan tiada sesuatupun yang dapat melemahkan Allah baik di langit maupun di bumi. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Kuasa.

Dan kalau sekiranya Allah menyiksa manusia disebabkan usahanya, niscaya Dia tidak akan meninggalkan di atas permukaan bumi suatu mahluk yang melatapun akan tetapi Allah menangguhkan penyiksaan mereka, sampai waktu yang tertentu; maka apabila datang ajal mereka, maka sesungguhnya Allah adalah Maha Melihat keadaan hamba-hamba-Nya

Kenapa Harus Di Ingatkan Dengan Bencana

Kenapa harus di ingatkan dengan bencana.........
Bencana menyatukan kita >>>>> ====== <<<<<< Bencana menyatukan kita




"Ya intinya ini kepedulian kita untuk bencana, dan ini saya rasa dalam bahasa Islami-nya ini Habblum Minannas, Bencana yang terjadi belakangan ini mempunyai hikmah tersendiri. Pasalnya dari tragedi ini mampu menyatukan seluruh Indonesia dan di sini fungsi manusia untuk membantu saudaranya yang terkena bencana.

"Ya sebenarnya bencana ini menyatukan kita, karena dari ujung ke ujung Indonesia, semua ikut menyumbang dan ini jadi kekuatan mereka,"

Terkadang bencana merupakan “senjata yang ampuh” untuk menyatukan kita. Tak peduli apa pun profesi dan keyakinan kita. Saat sebagian saudara kita mengalami bencana, otomatis naluri kemanusiaan kita ikut tergerak untuk membantu.

Seperti saat ini ketika Ibu Pertiwi berduka didera musibah yang tiba secara beruntun. Banjir bandang, gempa bumi dan Tsunami di Kepulauan Mentawai serta banjir lahar akibat letusan gunung Merapi. Untuk kesekian kalinya solidaritas kita diuji dengan kesediaan kita untuk membantu saudara-saudara kita yang sedang ditimpa musibah.

bencana-yang demikian, terutama bencana, ini justru menyatukan kita semua.

Moment by Moment under His care

There is not a weakness that Allah can't fill, not a sickness that he cannot heal, not a sorrow that he doesn't share, moment by moment you are under his care!

The word of God is the medicine of the heart. If you are alive, God is still giving you a chance. What are you going to do with that chance ?

When I needed Allah, he was always there, when Allah called me to him, I was blind and unaware. Don't be deceived by this vanishing world. You will die and it will be out of your reach, and eventually it will be destoryed. The herefater is the true reality. It will be your eternal abode. Know your true purpose and goal!

Marriage in Islam

In Islam, marriage is a blessed contract between a man and a woman, in which each becomes “permitted” to the other, and they begin the long journey of life in a spirit of love, co-operation, harmony and tolerance, where each feels at ease with the other, and finds tranquility, contentment and comfort in the company of the other. The Qur’an has described this relationship between men and women, which brings love, harmony, trust and compassion, in the most moving and eloquent terms:

And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts (Qur’an 30:21)

This is the strongest of bonds, in which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) unites the two Muslim partners, who come together on the basis of love, understanding, co-operation and mutual advice, and establish a Muslim family in which children will live and grow up, and they will develop the good character and behavior taught by Islam. The Muslim family is the strongest component of a Muslim society when its members are productive and constructive, helping and encouraging one another to be good and righteous, and competing with one another in good works.

The righteous woman is the pillar, cornerstone and foundation of the Muslim family. She is seen as the greatest joy in a man’s life, as the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“This world is just temporary conveniences, and the best comfort in this world is a righteous women.”1

A righteous woman is the greatest blessing that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) can give to a man, for with her he can find comfort and rest after the exhausting struggle of earning a living. With his wife, he can find incomparable tranquility and pleasure.

God Bless For Everything

The word "blessed" has been interpreted in so many ways by so many people, but what interests me most in it is that it has had such a profound impact on my life and ministry. There are people who believe that the word "blessed" is as cheap and easy as it sounds. Well, to be blessed is to be rewarded for a good job. I said so because, nothing just happens.! There is always a reason for everything.

God commanded that only those who sow seeds will have a harvest. God is not permitted to bring increase blessing until a man has committed himself to sowing seeds. If there is to be a harvest blessing, there must be seed sown. The life of a thorn is deliberately set to frustrate all efforts of fruitfulness on any ground to which it is granted access. It achieves this by choking the plant, thus cutting off all necessary supplies from reaching it.

What God finds on your heart determines your fate - whether you are qualified for the blessing or not, The Lord is always looking for men - Firebrands, who will bow themselves in humility before Him - people who are not ignorant of the thorns among men. God is looking for people who know what thorns know and prepare to fight back. Thorns know that in the battle to affect a life, the heart is the most important part. They know that once they get the heart, they shall automatically rule the heads, hands, feet, and every other part.

It is certain now that before a covenant of great multiplication and exceeding greatness is seen in the life of any man, the man must walk before the Lord blameless. Walking before the Lord blameless is a guarantee for a blessed life, and when the Lord has blessed you, no man shall have power to curse you.

Shalat Tahajud : صلاة التهجد‎

Shalat tahajjud : صلاة التهجد‎ adalah salat sunnat yang dikerjakan di malam hari lebih utama dilaksanakan setelah terjaga dari tidur. Ulama memiliki pendapat yang berbeda tentang apakah tidur pertama adalah benar-benar diperlukan atau tidak. Waktu untuk shalat Tahajjud adalah diantara waktu isha'a dan waktu subuh atau pada sepertiga terakhir malam (QS Al Muzammil : 2-3) yang dikerjakan sedikitnya dua rakaat dan paling banyak tidak terbatas.

Salat tahajjud termasuk sholat sunnah mu'akad (shalat yang dikuatkan oleh syara') yang memiliki keistimewaan dimana bagi orang yang mendirikan salat tahajjud diberikan manfaat, yaitu keselamatan dan kesenangan di dunia dan akhirat, dan diangkat ke tempat yang terpuji, sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam Alquran Surah Al Al Israa' : 79 :

وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَكَ عَسَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا (٧٩

"dan pada sebahagian malam hari bersembahyang tahajudlah kamu sebagai suatu ibadah tambahan bagimu; Mudah-mudahan Tuhan-mu mengangkat kamu ke tempat yang Terpuji."

Tahajud merupakan salah satu shalat sunnah yang memiliki nilai dan atau manfaat tinggi. disamping dapat meneguhkan iman juga untuk mengasah mental kita untuk menghadapi masalah hidup duniawi, serta sarana paling ampuh untuk lebih mendekatkan diri kepada Allah swt.

Diantara sekian banyak hikmah dan fadilah nya, senantiasa melaksanakan Shalat Tahajjud juga merupakan salah satu syarat dan ciri ciri orang yang bertaqwa sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam Al quran surah Adz Dzaariyaat : 15 - 18

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ (١٥)آخِذِينَ مَا آتَاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ (١٦)كَانُوا قَلِيلا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ (١٧)وَبِالأسْحَارِ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ (١٨

15. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang bertaqwa itu berada dalam taman-taman (syurga) dan mata air-mata air,

16. sambil menerima segala pemberian Rabb mereka. Sesungguhnya mereka sebelum itu di dunia adalah orang-orang yang berbuat kebaikan.

17. di dunia mereka sedikit sekali tidur diwaktu malam.

18. dan selalu memohonkan ampunan diwaktu pagi sebelum fajar.

Tata cara melaksanakan shalat Tahajjud adalah sama seperti halnya shalat sunnah pada umumnya, akan tetapi sebagian ulama berpendapat bahwa shalat Tahajjud lebih utama dengan menambahkan dan atau membaca surat al kafirun pada raka'at pertama dan rakaat ke dua membaca surat al Ikhlas.

Serta memperbanyak membaca istighfar dan atau berdzikir setelah shalat.

Keutamaan Shalat Tahajjud

Manfaat Shalat Tahajjud

Adapun manfaat shalat Tahajjud bagi orang yang mau mengerjakannya adalah sebagai berikut :

Manfaat yang pertama

Akan menjadikan pelakunya memiliki sifat rendah hati. Sebagaimana firman Allah SWT yang artinya :

“Dan hamba-hamba Tuhan yang Maha Penyayang itu adalah orang-orang yang berjalan diatas bumi dengan rendah hati dan apabila orang-orang jahil menyapa mereka, mereka mengucapkan kata-kata yang baik.Dan orang yang melalui malam hari dengan sujud dan berdiri untuk Tuhan mereka”

Manfaat yang kedua

Akan menjadikan pelakunya sebagai orang yang selalu mensyukuri nikmat Allah SWT. Sebagaimana yang telah diterangkan didalam hadist Nabi SAW, yang artinya : “Sungguh Rasulullah SAW berdiri dan shalat hingga kedua telapak kakinya atau kedua betisnya bengkak, maka jawabnya : “Bukankah aku ini seorang hamba yang banyak bersyukur”. (HR. Jam’ah kecuali Imam Abu Daud, yang bersumber dari Al Mughirah bin Syu’bah R.A)

Manfaat yang ketiga
