Poetry
I didn't fulfill my promise to update my personal blog. I apologize for it. Facebook had been my popular hanging out online. Anw, I came across this poetry while was reading a book. And this poetry was taught to me when I was learning at Darul Mustafa, Solo by Habib Toha bin Yahya. It was my first experience in listening to the poetry that caught my attention to think poetry does have significant role in community as it develop not only our thinking capacity but also our spiritual immunity.

It’s not love of the house that impassions my heart
but of she who dwells in the house.”

The world remember Shaykh Al Sayyid Muhammad al Alawi al Maliki
Passing Away of our Guide and
Waliy of Allah, Ash-Shaykh Assayed Allama Muhaddith Al-Haramayn MUHAMMAD
IBN ALAWI ABBAS IBN ‘ABD AL AZIZ AL MALIKI (Born 1947 in Makkah):
Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya was able to confirm
through Sidi Ali Al-Maliki, and Sayyed Fad'aq Al Hashimi, and Assayed
Assiba'iy Al-Makki, that the Muhaddith of the time, and the Usuli of
this era, Muhaddith of the Haramayn ( the two Harams, Makkah and Madina)
Assayed Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Alawi Al Maliki Al Makki Al Hasany,
radiya'Allah anhu wa rahimaha, has passed away.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raj'ioon
Sayyiduna Ashaykh Muhammad Alawi has passed
away this morning 15 of Ramadan 1425 around fajr time in his home town
Makkah Al-Mukarramah.
Mawlana Al-allama Assayed is a descendent of
the prophet Muhammad (Blessings and Salutations of peace upon Him)
through Imam Hasan, a grand-son of the prophet. He is a known Hijazi
scholar of Tawheed,Tafseer , Hadeeth, Fiqh, Aqeedah and Seerah. He is
the most highly acclaimed and respected scholar (Shaykh) in Makkah
(Mecca). He was born to a family of traditional Maliki scholars of
ancestral residence in the Holy City. His grandfather was the Qadi
(Chief Judge) of Makkah and an Imam of the Holy Mosque, the site of the
Ka’bah.
His father Sayyed Alawi taught and lectured
in the precints of the Holy Mosque for 30 years until he passed away in
1971, his funeral being the biggest one in the area in the present era.
Mawlana Assayed Muhammad was educated by his eminent father from
childhood and was authorized to teach every book he studied with him. He
also learnt at the feet of prominent scholars of Makkah such as Mawlana
Assayed Ashaykh Muhammad Ameen Al-Kutbi Al Hasayni, Ash-Shaykh
AlMashaat, Shaykh Muhammad Nur Sayf, Shaykh Saeed Yamani, mawlana Sidi Abdullah and Abdul Aziz Al-Ghumari and many others.
At the age of 25 he received his Phd from
from the esteemed Al Azhar university of Egypt. His thesis - on Hadith -
was rated excellent and highly praised by the ‘ulama (learned elders)
there at the time such as Imam Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Abu Zahra. During his
never-ending quest for knowledge he has travelled extensively to north
Africa, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Yemen and the Indo-Pak sub-continent to
gather Hadith, collect manuscripts, visit scholars, awliya and benefit
from their wisdom.
Apart from the ‘ulama of the Hijaz (Arabian
Peninsula) he has got "Sanad" or "‘Ijazah of Teaching and Guidance"
(lineage of authority to teach and guide) in every aspect of the Islamic
knowledge from eminent savants all over the Islamic world, among them
from Sidi Abdullah and Abdul Aziz Al Ghumari, radiya'Allah anhuma.
In 1970 he was appointed professor of Islamic
studies at the Umm-ul-Qurra university in Makkah. In 1971, after his
father’s death, the scholars of Makkah asked him to accept his father’s
position as a teacher in the Holy Mosque, which he did. Hundreds of
students have learnt at his feet and have become savants of Islamic
knowledge and spirituality in their countries, particularly Indonesia,
Malaysia, Egypt, Yemen and Dubai. Since 1983 he has concentrated on
research and teaching . He also gives classes at his home and mosque on
al Maliki street in the Rusayfa district of Makkah. He was nominated
head judge at the international Qira’at (Qur’anic reading) competition
in Makkah three times. He is also the author of close to one hundred
books.
Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya was honored enough
to have sat and learned directly in every visit to Makkah since 1988 and
benefited vastly from the oceans of knowledge and blessings of Sidi
Muhammad Alawi Al-Maliki, rahimau Allah wa radiya Anhu.
Shaykh Muhammad also, sent many students from
the US to visit Sidi Muhammad Alawi, benefit from him, and get an
"ijaza of blessings" from him, as recently as last year.
Assayed Muhammad Alawi Al Maliki has promised
Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya last time he visited him in Makkah to come
visit Atlanta and the Masajed there, and bless us with his presence and
knowledge..but Sub'hana Allah, He answered the call of Allah before he
was able to.
As Sidi Muhammad Alawi Al-Maliki was a
student of Sidi Abdullah bin Assidiqq Al Ghumari, radiyallahu anhuma,
Sidi Muhammad Alawi, always addressed Sidi Abdullah as Shaykhana "our
Master".
Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya, was also among
those honored to have received a full authorization in Isnaad "ijaza"
from Mawlana Assayed Muhammad Alawi Al-Maliki, rahamahu Allah.
This is no doubt, a sign of the closeness of the day of judgement. Especially when so many pious scholars depart so quickly.
May Allah forgive
them, bless them, and assemble us with them in the of Judgement around
the basin of the Beloved Al-Mustafa, Sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa
sallam.

Remember Allah always (zikr)
Many people asking why do we need to do zikr or attending zikr majlis? They dont find the sighnificant of doing and attending such blessed majlis. They forgot that after solat and reading Quran, to zikr (remember Allah) is the most beautiful things to do. To cultivate, to mold our hearts into remembering only Allah cause Allah is our hope and everything. A reflection of someone who always in the state of remembering Allah (zikr) is the one who has noble refine character because the zikr soften the hearts and melt it into ocean of mercy.

Event Review of Knowing God through the lens of Imam Ashaari and Imam Ghazali Organized by Sout Ilaahi
Event Review of Knowing God through the lens of Imam Ashaari and Imam Ghazali
Organized by Sout Ilaahi
Review done by Muzlimbuzz
Contrary to what the title of the seminar might suggest, Knowing God through the Lens of Imam Ashari &; Imam Ghazali by Shaykh Ninowy did not focus specifically on the aforementioned scholars or their works. It was instead a crash course on Aqidah Tahawiyah, the oldest authentic text of aqidah of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah. Shaykh Ninowy explained that though short, such an important book would normally take a year to cover, but he asked everybody to fasten their seatbelts as he would try to cover as much as possible in his 1 ½ day lecture, part of Sout Ilaahi’s Sacred Text Series.
The speaker, Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya An-Ninowy, a Syrian born scholar based in Atlanta, Georgia, began by giving a brief introduction to Imam Abu Jaafar Ahmad bin Muhammad At-Tahawi, the author of Aqidah Tahawiyah, and some of the concepts he would be discussing, including the Ashari, Maturidi and Athari schools of aqidah and the notion of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah.
During his reading and explanation of Aqidah Tahawiyah, Shaykh Ninowy stopped at several points to challenge popular but unfounded notions of God, including the depiction in cartoons and popular culture as a bearded old man in a robe seated above the clouds, surrounded by angels. He asked that everybody in the audience watch what their children watch and what they watch so as not to be susceptible to such erroneous conceptions of Allah.
Laisa ka mith lihii shai’
The Shaykh explained that Tauhid was the ‘Oneness’ of Allah, which he described as referring not to the mathematical concept of ‘one’ but to the absolute uniqueness of the Creator. Tauhid rewires the brain, the Shaykh stated, although many people worship Allah without knowing Him, and the technical fulfillment of deeds does not necessarily entail their eligibility for acceptance by Allah.What Shaykh Ninowy stressed over and over again was verse 11 from Surah Ash-Shura in the Qur’an “Laisa ka mith lihii shai”, translated as “There is nothing like Him”. When encountering Qur’anic verses or hadith which seem to suggest anthropomorphic depictions of Allah, we should always keep that verse in mind. Anything we can imagine is not Allah, and is in fact from the creations of Allah.
Shaykh Ninowy also emphasised and got the audience to
repeat with him to drill in the following points: that Allah is Eternal
with no beginning, Everlasting with no end, not created, not similar to
the creation and not subject to change.

Shaykh Ninowy also emphasised and got the audience to repeat with him to
drill in the following points: that Allah is Eternal with no beginning,
Everlasting with no end, not created, not similar to the creation and
not subject to change.
The Shaykh stated that the Qur’an had both muhkamat and mutashabihat verses, a fact stated in the Qur’an itself. While muhkamat verses had only one definition, he explained that mutashabihat verses are open to several definitions linguistically and gave the sometimes contentious example of verse 5 from Surah Taha, “Ar-Rahman ala arshi istiwah”, commonly translated as “The Merciful established Himself above the Throne”.
While taken at face value, it seems to be attributing direction, space and posture to Allah, the Shaykh gave examples of alternative interpretations. The word “Arsh”, for example, could be translated not only as throne, but as dominion or kingdom. Similarly, “Istiwah” while translated literally as “above”, can also be taken to refer to reaching puberty, sailing comfortably or plants ripening. Istiwah also means to subjugate or govern. In the context of the verse, it could be taken to mean that Allah subjugated the throne.
While stating that he did not want to criticise any individuals or
groups, Shaykh Ninowy critiqued what he referred to as a “Superman”
aqidah, that is, believing that Allah has limbs and senses, but that
they were not like those of humans. He stated that it was likening the
Creator to His creation, and was akin to believing that Allah was simply
a being with superpowers.
Could God create another God?
At several points during his lecture Shaykh Ninowy addressed the questions that are sometimes asked of Allah, such as whether He could create another god, or whether it were possible for God to create a stone that He could not lift. The Shaykh explained that such questions were self-contradictory and denied the omnipotence of Allah.
In the first situation, if one ‘god’ were able to hide information from the other, or if he were able to manage the universe without the other, it would make the other redundant and thus not God. If each were dependent on the other, that would mean that neither was omnipotent as God is not in need of anything. The second situation seemed to perceive Allah anthropomorphically, as a man with muscles whereas God is not like His creation and not dependent on physical strength.

The second situation seemed to perceive Allah anthropomorphically, as a man with muscles whereas God is not like His creation and not dependent on physical strength.
Choice & Free will
On the topic of choice and free will, Shaykh Ninowy stated that Allah created creation and created their power to choose between right and wrong and between belief and disbelief. This, he said, was the opinion held by Imam Al Ghazali and Imam Haramain, and was closer to the Maturidi opinion rather than that of the Ashari school. In His Eternal Knowledge, Allah knows what we will do with the capacity given to us.
This provoked many questions on the concept of choice and how it relates to the decree of Allah.
Quoting the opinion of the scholars of tazkiyah, Shaykh Ninowy stated that Allah shows humanity His Mercy by facilitating our good deeds, giving us the strength, capacity and will to do our prayers for example, and then attributes them to us and rewards us accordingly.
At the end of the course, those who attended were issued with an ijazah of sanad for Aqidah Tahawiyah from Shaykh Ninowy and Madina Institute, and a general ijazah from the Shaykh. The ijazah would count towards credit for a degree from Madina Institute, and attendees would be able to take an online test on the text to qualify for the credit.
Knowing God represented a unique experience to study from a classical religious work from a world-renowned scholar of Prophetic descent, and one hopes for Sout Ilaahi and others to continue to provide Muslims in Singapore with such opportunities to expand their knowledge.

In the context of the verse, it could be taken to mean that Allah subjugated the throne.
It was essential, Shaykh Ninowy said, to either interpret such mutashabihat
verses in a way that was suitable to Allah or to leave the truth of
their meanings to Allah, that is, to simply say that we do not know.

LOVE learning from history
I grew up with soccer cause my late dad was a Die hard soccer fan. He was really a man utd fan. Back in the 80s I used to accompany him to watch the games. We will wake up in the wee hours to watch live games be it world cup, fa cup replay, European cup. The most memorable was the 1984 European Cup which the French won, Platini was back then the important player and in 1986 when the world witness Argentina won the world cup due to one man dominant the field, its Dieogo Amando Maradona. Soccer was more than sports to me . I could say it is a form of religion back then. Despite the games were marred by violence caused by the English hooligans, there was not much of racial abuse or chanting. Everyone remembered the tragedy of Heysel and Hillsborough which cause lots of life's as we realize there is more important things in life than just a soccer game. As the games slowly progressing from a decade to another, we thought finally there will be no such horrendous violence negative issues anymore in the sport.
However, I realize in the past few years, the increase number of racism involving during the games are very alarming especially from the European leagues. Those horror years of world war 2 are completely forgotten now. Teams with 'ultra' supporters having Nazi slogan and salute during games. To make it worst some players are involved in it too. The monkey chanting, the racial slurs becoming louder in the stadium. Suddenly, the beautiful game, is losing its identity that once dubbed uniting people across the border, has more becoming a dangerous ground. Before the Euro 2012, the UEFA president Michel Platini had threatened many times to cancel it due to his fear this negative issue will be blown out of propulsion but the games had to move on and the organizers (host) had promised to clamp down on these negative issues before it became the headline. Alas! Violence already began on the 1st day of the tournament itself. With teams involving had various darkest history and disputes among them like the host Poland and the Russian. Then there was this Czech Republic who was also at the central issue of controversial. All these former communist countries and regimes somehow got entangled between past political history and being nationalistic. It rages on till outside the stadium rather than accepting friendship and fair play on the field. So whats going on here?
I am wondering whats on the mind of our youth today watching the games live and witnessing racial abuse been done openly with monkey chanting and racial slur and violence erupting before and after the games due to the past political history and national issues. And why is it today, the increase number of racism happened in Europe? Does it cause huge concern among them? Did they forgot about the stories of the world war 2 which they wont want to face it again? What bother me the most is that, soccer is one of the most popular games in the world and these negative issues will have huge impact to the soccer fans where ever they could be. When you ponder upon the situation, you gotta take one step back and reflect how things could be getting nastier than ever before. You tend to realize the political climate on some of the European countries had change from time to time due to economic crisis. More and more left wing fascist are coming into power brought by the people as they wanted to make changes and getting tired of the old political system.
Perhaps we didn't learn about the old mistakes and thus such horrendous tragedy repeated it again and again. This is why history play an important role in a society. Its time to reflect on the past to build the future. We need to understand the need to live together as Allah said in the Quran Surah al Hujurat 49:13 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).The only reason for this is because the hearts develop hatred that sparks the outrage in the outlook. People tend to think when they react violently they are strong but in actual facts, they are sign of articulate. The whole missing link is love. Prophet sallahu alaihi wa salam came to this world when it was in the age of ignorance (jahiliyah) He sallahu alaihi wa salam came to bring the light as he erase the darkness with his presence of love for humanity. It change the whole society. The selfless thought was gone and was replace with love that bond brotherhood and friendship. There was no animosity, no hatred, revenge, it was forgiveness and etiquette (adab) If only we understand the true meaning of love, such tragedy wont happen but then again man will never learn from their history.
