I would like to thanks those who have been participating the Qurban project which me and few friends have been organizing for the past few years till today.This year the number of people participating the Qurban increase tremendously despite the economic turmoil. Alhamdulilah. We are glad that we are able to help the poor people in Solo, Jogjarkarta and Aceh. We hope you are able to support our future projects. May Allah bless you.

In Solo, there were 350 poor families and many orphans which hadbenefit from this Qurban project. The Qurban meat was distributed to them. The Qurban was handled by Kiyai Sholeh Masrur and supervised by Habib Noh al Haddad who is the direct descendant of Habib Abdullah al haddad and a prince of Solo.The Qurban was done at the villa of Habib Nuh al Haddad. There was a video taken during the Qurban there. Those who participated will be able to get the vcd soon. Habib Noh and Kiyai Sholeh express their sincerest love and thanks to you whom had participated in this Qurban

While in Aceh, the Qurban was handled by Shaykh Jamhuri bin Ramli al Hafiz.

There were many poor people, orphans and broken families from the tsunami tragedy benefited from this Qurban as meat of the Qurban were distributed among them.They came from many parts of Aceh estimated more than 300 people. They were overwhelmed and happy to receive such gifts from our brothers and sisters in Singapore. Shaykh Jamhuri and the Governor of Banda Aceh would like to thanks those who participate in this Qurban and hope to continue this noble effort.

In Jogjakarta, the Qurban is handled by bro Joko together with the Keraton, Royal family and workers. Alhamdulilah, the king and his family including his secretary was very happy with the contributions of Qurban from Singaporeans.They were also looking forward to continue this noble project in the coming future, inshaAllah.

The success of this noble Qurban project is due to the baraqah of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and Awliyah Allah including our beloved Murshid Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and his deputies Mawlana Shaykh Hisham and Mawlana Shaykh Adnan. may Allah bless them and lengthen their life in this world to guide us and the rest of humanities.

Poverty and meat

I cant forget those days I spent in Java especially in Solo. It was something which I will never forget for the rest of my life. The images of poverty remain in my mind which I always try to force myself to be thankful to live in Singapore. One cant imagine how tough their life could be. Living at home with no tiles and proper renovation, rats running around, mosquitoes attacking them in the middle of the night. Yet they are contend with life and remain faithful to God. Its something precious and valuable that I learn. Some have sheep, goats and cows but cant consume meat because of their poverty. Usually, they had meat meal once in a year or during the Haul of some habaaib. Otherwise their routine meal would be beans, rice and some vegetable. No doubt its the healthy lifestyle but if we can help them to have the experience of eating meat would make them happy. Even the poor people in Singapore does get this sort of luxury meal. Therefore, I have decided to have this Qurban Project in Solo and Aceh, sorely the purpose is to help these poor families having the experience of eating meat. may Allah forgive me by being with them.

The significant and wisdom of Qurban

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil Haqqani

O people! Islam is haqq, it is the true religion; if it was batil/vain no one would be here. Fifteen hundred years ago this command was given: go to hajj. And if you cannot go, the ones that don't go: go and celebrate the eid prayers and celebrations, and look, many people are running to do it. There are many people saying 'Islam is backwards, it is from the dark ages.' But no! Islam is like a sun, shining like a sun from day one until the Last Day.

Keep your iman/faith and make it stronger. And how do you make it stronger? With your prayers and good deeds. And Allah will ask:

'Didn't you have two minutes to make two rakaats/cycles of prayer For Me? I have given you many different things and you haven't thought of Me even once in 24 hours, to pray two rakaats to Me -something which takes only two minutes?' In the morning, wash your hands and face, wash your feet as well, and pray two rakaats.

They come to me saying 'Sheykh Efendi, our job is going bad!' How is your relationship with Allah Almighty? 'It is not good.' If you are betraying yourself and Allah Almighty, it is bad, it is not good. That means that everything is going bad. 'Sheykh Efendi, pray Allah to give us!' And Allah says 'Why should I give him, is he remembering me? No. Then, why should I give him? If I give him more, he will loose His head more.'

So, you pray! Don't let a day pass without sajdah/prostration. When we are praying before going out in the morning, it is more barakah/blessing coming into that day. The one whose rizq/provision is finished, will die.

But if you're alive, your rizq will come, and there is an angel especially bringing barakah. And the angel is looking if someone is praying or not. If he is praying, the angel will give the blessings, if not, he will take it away.. the angel will take the barakah away. If you don't want your business to go bad, you must have good relations with Allah Almighty subhanahu wa ta'ala.

May Allah give us the right tawbah/repentance to ask in a right way for forgiveness. Today is the day that you put your sacrifices in the direction of the qiblah and say 'Bismillah, Allahu Akbar', and then you slaughter your sacrificial animal. And after that you pray two rakaat thanksgiving /shukr for it. As soon as you cut the animal's air pipe and blood vessels, you must leave the animal. Don't cut deeper. And you must leave the animal for two or three minutes, it is its right to move, and all the blood to come out. If you cut the wrong place and the animal doesn't move much, then all the blood remains in the body which is not good for people. You have the right to keep one third, and then give one third to poor people. And for that Allah will protect you and your kids and your household, because of that. And Allah will put trouble away from you. If you don't sacrifice on Eid day, trouble will come and then you pay ten times more than the money you should have paid that day to slaughter one animal. Allah will make you pay ten times more! Maybe someone touches your car, an accident happens, you pay too much money. Don't think because of this sacrifice your money will decrease, or if you give sadaqa/alms your money will decrease. Give, and don't allow your hand to shake when you give! Many troubles Allah is keeping away from you. So give generously! And today we all gather here to pray the Eid prayer. And we make intention how to do the prayer. Whatever we say in khutbah/preach, I say it here so we don't have to keep the people, I make it short in khutbah.

May Allah increase the rank of the holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam peace be upon him. The ones that are trying to bring the Prophet's name down, don't allow them, O our Lord! Make them away and protect us from enemies, and enemies of Islam and protect, O our Lord, our families also and don't allow us to be with evildoers, let us be with good ones.

Be careful with your kids, with the young ones, because this young age is important. Don't allow them in these days with these bad doings. There are many bad things people are doing today: drugs, alcohol and other things, all the worst dirt the west brought here. When you come to them with your customs, they look 'what did you bring here?' What did they bring? Only bad things, to make people lose their good ways and learn these evil and bad things. We must pray Allah not to put us with bad ones but to write our names with good ones. Live clean, and when you leave this world, leave clean. Allahumma salli ala sayyidina

Muhammadin Nabeyyil ummi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim.

Downpour

The economic turmoil has return. The number of depression are rapidly increasing day by day. People are losing their savings, business , jobs and family. You can imagine few years back when we were hit with the same situation, Indonesia were in the state of chaos. People are hinging on to their thin hopes. Today, Thailand is facing bloodshed on their political front while Malaysia is heading towards another political twist. We are lucky to be living in Singapore despite the slump of our economy, we are still living in peace and harmony. We don't know what is going to happen in the near future but we hope for the best for our beloved country and the people.

Everything begins with speculation and thus created so much fuss that people were becoming insane and banks are completely haywire. Shares and stock all of a sudden plunge, like a mission of suicide. There goes the million of dollars. I remembered back then when we were having the same situation, everyone was stress. Here it comes again. My former boss used to joke, he said" What goes up must come down in life". Whatever hes trying to refer or saying, I am sure in life there is up and down.
