soal.jawab.2.

Soal Jawab Remeh temeh tentang SOLAT 2

Oleh : Rohidzir Rais

Kali ini saya kongsikan tentang tajuk Menutup Aurat. Semoga catatan ini dapat memberi sedikit pengetahuan…

Soalan 155 : Alasan tertingal atau tiada telekung untuk solat.

Jawapan : Perempuan bersolat tidak semestinya memakai telekung. Jika tiada telekung, boleh memakai apa sahaja pakaian yang menutup aurat iaitu seluruh tubuh kecuali muka dan dua tangan.

Soalan 157 : Bapa saya pernah menegur kerana bersolat dengan memakai seluar jeans ketat. Adakah orang yang memakai seluar jeans tidak sah solatnya sedangkan ia juga menutup aurat?

Jawapan : Memakai pakaian yang ketat ketika bersolat sehingga menampakkan bentuk badan adalah makruh tetapi sah solatnya. Jeans tidak sesuai kerana menonjolkan bahagian tubuh dan menyukarkan pergerakan.

Soalan 161 : Saya sering melihat ayah dan adik solat dengan hanya memakai kain pelekat tanpa baju. Sahkah solat mereka? Bagaimana aurat lelaki ketika bersolat?

Jawapan : Aurat lelaki ketika solat ialah pusat dan lutut dan kawasan diantara keduanya. Jadi solat dengan memakai kain atau seluar yang menutup kawasan ini tanpa baju adalah sah.

Tetapi itu adalah had minimum, jika kita mempunyai pakaian yang baik dan cantik, mengapa tidak memakainya.

Soalan 74: Apakah hokum bersolat dengan menggunakan pakaian atau telekung orang lain tanpa meminta kebenaran terlebih dahulu?

Jawapan : Solat tersebut sah selagi ia memenuhi syaratnya. Tetapi perbuatan menggunakan pakaian orang lain tanpa kebenaran adalah haram.

soal.jawab.1.

Soal Jawab Remeh temeh tentang SOLAT 2

Oleh : Rohidzir Rais

Buku ini memberi jawapan dan penjelasan yang baik kepada banyak soalan yang dianggap remeh temeh oleh kita semua. Banyak soalan ygan ingin ditanyakan tapi segan untuk diluahkan. Takut nanti orang lain akan fikir yang kita ini terlalu kurang arif bab-bab agama. Malu adalah alasan yang tepat…kadangkala kita lebih rela sesat jalan daripada bertanya..makanya buku ini banyak beri saya jawapan kepada soalan-soalan yang sering bermain difikiran.

Saya akan kongsikan beberapa soalan yang pernah bermain difikiran saya selama ini. Kali ini saya kongsikan tentang tajuk Wuduk. Semoga catatan ini dapat memberi sedikit pengetahuan…

Soalan 51: Benarkah jika kita bercakap-cakap ketika mengambil wuduk menyebabkan wuduk tidak sah?

Jawapan : Hukum bercakap-cakap ketika berwuduk adalah makruh namun wuduk adalah sah sekiranya lengkap rukun-rukunnya.

Apa itu rukun wuduk?

6 rukun wuduk ialah

1) niat dalam hati

2) basuh muka

3)basuh tangan hingga siku

4)basuh sebahagian kepala

5) basuh kaki

6) tertib

Soalan 55 : Adakah perlu ulangi basuhan sebanyak 3 kali?

Jawapan : Tidak perlu, kerana yang wajib hanyalah basuhan yang pertama. Tetapi sunat mengulanginya sehingga 3 kali mengikut perbuatan Rasulullah SAW selain untuk memastikan anggota tersebut dibasuh dengan sempurna.

Soalan 63 : Perlukah saya menlonggarkan jam tangan saya ketika berwuduk?

Jawapan : Syarat membasuh tangan hingga ke siku dalam wuduk ialah air hendaklah kena pada seluruh kulit tangan. Oleh itu, sebarang benda yang menghalang sampainya air ke kulit hendaklah ditanggalkan atau dilonggarkan contohnya jam, cincin dan gelang yang dipakai ketat.

Soalan 74: Saya pernah melihat seorang wanita ajnabi menyentuh mayat lelaki yang telah diwudukkan. Adakah mayat ini perlu diwudukkan semula?

Jawapan : Mayat tersebut tidak batal wuduknya tetapi wanita tersebut yang menyentuh mayat tersebut terbatal wuduknya.

Soalan 76 : Batalkah wuduk jika saya terpegang papan punggung sendiri?

Jawapan : Memegang papan punggung sendiri atau orang lain tidak membatalkan wuduk. Tetapi sekiranya memegang bahagian dubur tempat keluar najis, batal wuduknya.

Soalan 71 : Saya mempunyai masalah buasir yang serius. Sekiranya buasir saya terkeluar dari dubur, adakah batak wuduk saya?

Jawapan : Sekiranya buasir atau isi dubur terkeluar daru lubang punggung batal wuduk kerana keluar sesuatu daripada kemaluan. Tetapi sekiranya masalah buasir terlalu serius sehingga isinya sentiasa terkeluar, dia hendaklah berwuduk setiap kali hendak solat.

Soalan 68 : Ketika sedang solat, tiba-tiba saya terfikir samada saya telah berwuduk atau belum. Adakah saya perlu meneruskan solat atau berwuduk terlebih dahulu?

Jawapan : Wajib anda berwuduk, kerana keadaan asalnya anda tidak berwuduk. Jika solat diteruskan juga, ia tidak sah kerana syarat sah solat ialah suci daripada hadas.

Ada teratak di hujung kampung
Bawah cermin kopak ada kotak
Tersembunyi dalamnya ada tempurung
Sembunyi bawahnya katak melalak

Atur sepuluh daktil batal yang batil
Detik dua usul ditutup satu lagi tampil
Dari halaman rusuk kiri satu susuk ganjil
Minta diisolasi dari dalil busuk jahil
Aspirasi tak serasi dengan suara bunyi
Inkarserasi dari penghuni dan keluarga bumi
Surat wasiatnya atas paksi dalam rumi
Minta dikebumikan hidup-hidup dalam guni
Mana cepat terbang atau warna gelang tangan
Buah fikiran aneh tergantung di persimpangan
Halusinasi susuli ketandusan ihsan
Ubat parut auditori kesan artileri insan
Gagal dikesan

Aku maafkan kamu
Tak perlu kita bertemu
Cukup kau tahu Yang aku
Maafkan kamu
Tolong teruskan hidup
Jangan sebut namaku

Timbul tenggelam, timbul tenggelam
Acapkali terpendam, acapkali tersergam
Cermin muka kopak penuh bintik hitam silam
Ini bukan lagu rindu ini madah dendam
Kutimbang tanpa neraca di awal usia
Ku dihukum masuk neraka oleh manusia
Minta tunjuk lubang atau pintu tak dapat jawapan jitu
Jadi aku tak berganjak biarkan saja begitu
Maafkan mereka, mereka tidak tahu
Mereka tidak ramas buku, mereka segan ilmu
Mereka tidak fasih malah fasik guna kata
Kita kongsi nama bangsa tapi tidak kasta bahasa
Maafkan mereka, mereka tiada nilai
Ibu bapa lalai dari kecil dah diabai
Tanpa kasih sayang, mereka suka menyakiti
Kita kongsi warna mata tapi tidak warna hati

Atas kepala murai sekawan
Mari ku ramit kucup lehernya
Terlalu rahi dendam di angan
Sampai terkacip mulut mahirnya

Aku maafkan kamu
Tak perlu kita bertemu
Cukup kau tahu Yang aku
Maafkan kamu
Tolong teruskan hidup
Jangan sebut namaku

Jangan ahli sihir seru nama maharaja
Nanti segerombolan hantu bisu yang menjelma
Guna hak berfikir sebelum hak untuk bersuara
Kalau terpelajar sila guna hak miranda
Pura-pura dengar, telan tapi tidak hadam
Hafaz bila lafaz tapi mereka tidak faham
Mereka mula kiri, aku kanan bila baca
Sudah mahir rumi, mari tafsir alif ba ta

(Alif) Ada teratak di hujung kampung

Lesson Three: A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson 3 - Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Lesson Two: A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly

spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson 2 - Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there

Lesson 1: An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A Small Rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson 1 - To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up

think.big.and.kick.ass.

If you want to make it big, you’ve got to push yourself beyond your limits. You’ve got to push yourself up and get yourself into a hyper mental state. And you have to do this yourself. Nobody can do this for you. If you think big, big things come to you.

To be success:-

1. You must never give up

2. Every failure is a step on the way to success

3. Be your own person

4. Demand what you want in life

5. Do not let other people run your life

6. Do not let other people push you around

7. If someone crosses you, do not lie down and take it, fight back

Live a life of much bigger energy, much bigger goals and much bigger income

wuduk.zahir.dan.batin.

Seorang ahli ibadah bernama Isam Bin Yusuf, sangat warak dan khusyuk solatnya. Namun, dia selalu khuatir kalau-kalau ibadahnya kurang khusyuk dan selalu bertanya kepada orang yang dianggapnya lebih ibadahnya, demi untuk memperbaiki dirinya yang selalu dirasainya kurang khusyuk.

Pada suatu hari, Isam menghadiri majlis seorang abid bernama Hatim Al-Assam dan bertanya, "Wahai Aba Abdurrahman, bagaimanakah caranya tuan solat?"
Hatim berkata, "Apabila masuk waktu solat, aku berwudhu' zahir dan batin."
Isam bertanya, "Bagaimana wudhu' zahir dan batin itu?"
Hatim berkata, "Wudhu' zahir sebagaimana biasa iaitu membasuh semua anggota wudhu' dengan air".
Sementara wudhu' batin ialah membasuh anggota dengan tujuh perkara :-
* Bertaubat
* Menyesali dosa yang telah dilakukan
* Tidak tergila-gilakan dunia
* Tidak mencari/mengharap pujian orang (riya')
* Tinggalkan sifat berbangga
* Tinggalkan sifat khianat dan menipu
* Meninggalkan sifat dengki.

Seterusnya Hatim berkata, "Kemudian aku pergi ke masjid, aku kemaskan semua anggotaku dan menghadap kiblat. Aku berdiri dengan penuh kewaspadaan dan aku rasakan:
1.aku sedang berhadapan dengan Allah,
2.Syurga di sebelah kananku,
3.Neraka di sebelah kiriku,
4.Malaikat Maut berada di belakangku, dan
5.aku bayangkan pula aku seolah-olah berdiri di atas titian 'Siratal mustaqim' dan
menganggap bahawa solatku kali ini adalah solat terakhir bagiku,
kemudian aku berniat dan bertakbir dengan baik."

"Setiap bacaan dan doa didalam solat, aku faham maknanya kemudian aku rukuk dan sujud dengan tawadhuk, aku bertasyahud dengan penuh pengharapan dan aku memberi salam dengan ikhlas. Beginilah aku bersolat selama 30 tahun."

Apabila Isam mendengar, menangislah dia kerana membayangkan ibadahnya
yang kurang baik bila dibandingkan dengan Hatim.

me.reminding.myself.

1. Hidup ikut kemampuan. Ukur baju di badan sendiri.Berbelanja kurang dari pendapatan.
2. Utamakan keluhuran, jangan terikat kepada dunia kebendaan. Hanya beli benda yg boleh membuat kehidupan selesa dan bermakna.
3. Nikmati apa yg sudah ada. Apa yg sudah dimiliki hendaklah dinikmati sepenuhnya.

4. Beli kurang daripada apa yg termampu. Beli kurang dari had kewangan.
5. Senaraikan barangan yg hendak dibeli dan beli ikut senarai sahaja.
6. Beli-belah semasa kenyang dan lapang. Lapar, letih akan melemahkan daya ketahanan diri dan akan mudah terpengaruh untuk membeli lebih dari yg diperlukan.
8. Kurangkan semak dalam hidup. Simpan hanya benda-benda yg berfaedah sahaja.

the.pencil.and.eraser.story.

credit picture for mr google

Pencil : I'm sorry...

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes.

Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

This is for all parents and children out there....

story.of.a.blind.girl.

There was a beautiful blind girl who hated herself just because she’s blind.

She hated everyone, except her loving fiance. He was always there for her.She said to her parents that if she could only see the world, she would marry her fiance.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to the beautiful blind girl and then, she started seeing everything. One day her fiance asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl was shocked when she saw that her fiance is blind, and refused to marry him.Her fiance walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to girl with the help of his friend, saying.

“Just take care of my eyes dear.”

Lesson: This is how human brain changes when the situation changes. Only few fortunate ones remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.

Never take someone for granted, Hold every right person close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.

“You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”

Note: It's really amazing when two strangers becomes the best friends,but it's really sad when the best of friends become two strangers, so never make somebody your everything,because when they are gone you've got nothing

challenges.at.work.

It’s 9.45 am. You’ve just walked into the office when your boss corners you for being late. You’ve overslept as you stayed back last night until 1am finishing an overdue project. Your office secretary rushes to you and reminds you to return that important phone call to an important client. You sit down to make that important phone call when your colleague in the next cubicle starts humming “what a wonderful life”. The humming get louder every second and you feel like straggling his neck. Every tiny distraction grates on your nerves. You snap at anyone who asks if you need anything. The whole day goes into a never ending downturn spiral from there. Nothing seems to go on right that day. Your only relief is when you go home and cry your eyes out for feeling like a complete failure.

Is work life always like that? Does it have to be that tough? Or are you just not improve yourself in ways you have not foreseen.

It is common to encounter all sorts of problems at work

YOU ARE IN CHARGE

Know that you can decide how you want to respond to anything. Eg. Nobody can make you feel bad or lose your cool if you don’t want to. In fact, you can make things happen instead of waiting for things to happen.

DON’T WORRY

Some things are beyond your control. Eg.unfair bosses, rude customers and even the economic crisis. Accept this and learn to work around then instead.

BE POSITIVE

See problems as opportunities. Eg. A customer complaint can be important feedback to improve your product or service. Mistakes can be a learning experience. Just like Thomas Edison, you may have to discover 1,000 ways of how not to invent a light bulb before you actually do invent the light bulb! Failure is part of the process of success

ALL BOSSES EXPECT THE BEST WORK OUT OF YOU

Be good at what you do-if you are asked to do a job, make sure you know your work and what skills are required to produce the highest quality. Do not assume anything but find out through proper research and consult the experts either in person or through books.

Love what you do- love your work and be excited about it. See it as part of a bigger picture. Are you building something for the community? Are you providing a service for others? Are you developing something that no one has ever done before?

Have integrity- be honest with your bosses, colleagues, suppliers, clients and most importantly, yourself. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Be discreet about company information and do not discuss internal problems with outsiders.

NOBODY IS GOING TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AT WORK

Have initiative- don’t always wait for others to take the lead. One good way to solve problems is to prevent them from starting. Remember that bosses promote those with leadership qualities.

Be independent- don’t rely on others to help you with your task or do the work for you. You have to stand on your own two feet.

Be self-motivated- encourage yourself on a regular basis instead of waiting for others to cheer you up. When things gets tough, motivate yourself by focusing on your overall goals instead of sitting down and being gloomy about it.

YOUR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE WILL BECOME OUTDATED WITH TIME

Challenge what you know- if you think that you are always right, you are already wrong. Be open to other ideas and suggestions. Regularly compare yourself with those who excel in their fields to see where you are.

Decide to keep learning- just because school is over does not mean that your education has ended. Learning is a life-long process. Learn from others and tap their wisdom. Enroll in courses. Read self-improvement books.

Go for the unknown- know what is in the market and move on from there. Be innovative and try new things, you just may be the pioneer of a revolutionary product or business idea. Sometimes, it may be wise to follow the crowd.

TEAMWORK

One person can only achieve so much at work. Major successes in history have been rhe result of teamwork between men and women of caliber. Team up and achieve great things.

SHARING CREDIT

Don’t be selfish about sharing credit especially when the other person deserves it. Be humble. Value the strengths of others instead of thinking about their weaknesses.

PUT YOURSELF IN HIS/HER SHOES

Working in a team requires you to understand the other person. Listen more than you talk

SET GOALS

To prevent yourself from drifting, you need to set work goals on a daily, weekly, monthly or even half-yearly basis. Be realistic when setting goals. Make sure these are within your overall career/ personal plans.

DRAW UP A PLAN

Achieve you goals by drawing up a schedule/action plan. Invest in a good organizer and refer to this consistenly to make sure that you are on track.

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT

Even when doing a simple task such as making a phone call to a client or attending meeting, think through before acting, decide what information you need to convey or receive, and think of how this is to be achieve.

ten.tips.for.combating.stress.

1. Believe in your ability to cope.

~ embrace your strengths. Remind yourself that you can influence the outcome of events in your life. Create action plans to address problems at work and at home.

2. Learn relaxation exercises

~ try deep breathing, visualization and meditation. A hot bath, a walk in the park and stretching exercises are also good stress relievers.

3. Get a grip on guilt

~ guilt robs you of your energy and motivation. Be realistic about your expectations of yourself at home and on the job. It’s neither possible nor desirable to try to be a perfect person all the time.

4. Talk to a friend

~ talking about problems can help you blow off steam and give you the perspective you need to solve problems more easily.

5. Develop leisure activities

~ practice a craft, learn to play a musical instrument, join a local community or a weekly sport activity.

6. Establish a regular exercise routine

~ stress produces chemical that make you feel tense. Exercise helps move these chemicals through your body. Try to get at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise 3 times a week. Choose a fun exercise you’ll enjoy and stick with it.

7. Get plenty of rest

~ most people need 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night to feel renewed and refreshed. If you have trouble sleeping, increase your exercise routine. Take a warm shower before bed.

8. Eat a balanced diet

~ stock up bread, cereal, rice and pasta. Include lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Add calcium, in the form of milk, yogurt and cheese and 2 or 3 serving per day of protein meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs or nuts. Use fats, oils and sweets sparingly.

9. Stay connected and improve your communication skills

~ learn to ask for help when you need it. Defuse misunderstandings before they occur by talking things over with your family, friends and colleagues.

10. Learn to accept and adapt to change

~ change is a fact of life. Major work and life changes are common. Whether you welcome or dread these changes, they can all be extremely stressful unless you learn to adjust to them. Take time to recover, refocus and regenerate during a major change such as a promotion, relocation or job change.

deciding.on.job.offer

Tengah mengemas bilik lalu terjumpa satu handbook utk graduate's. Maka saya decided untuk kongsi pengetahuan am disini. Maka entri ini dan beberapa entri di masa depan yg saya labelkan sebagai kerjaya adalah saya ambil dari The Yuppies, Lifestyle Guide Book- A Graduate’s Handbook_2004.

How many times have you heard someone say that he is “exploring option”? what exactly does he mean and how does he decide what is good option and what isn’t?

A job offer is a tremendous opportunity. It could be the start of a long well-rewarded career. It is also a booster to your confidence and self-esteem as a person. As such, job offers should be treated seriously and with great care when they come your way.

Here is a checklist before you sign on the dotted line:

1. Does the job fit the criteria in your career planning?

2. Are there better prospect. Does this offer have more long-term gains or short-term gains?

3. Nature of the job. Is the job challenging enough for you?

4. Training opportunities. Would you be able to learn or improve on areas that you have always wanted to?

5. Reporting structure and company culture. Is the culture and working style compatible with you value? eg. if you are a wildlife conservationist, it would be difficult for you to work in a clothing store that sells real animal fur.

6. Management style and number of support staff. Do you like reporting to a team or to just 1 person?

7. Profitability of the company. Can this company offer you share options 5 years down the road?

8. Environment. Is the work environment conducive to bringing out the best in you? If you are a quiet person, you may not be able to perform well in a noisy, crowded atmosphere such as a stock trading floor.

9. Distance from your home, parking and food. Is the office located in a place which requires you to spend a lot of money to travel and have meals out on a daily basis?

Upon receiving the offer letter or company handbook, you should:

· Go through it thoroughly and understand all the clauses on salary, benefits, overtime, medical leave, working hours, probationary period etc.

· Ask for a second opinion from someone experienced and whom you trust.

If you have doubt in any areas, don’t be shy. Ask the potential employer. Understand the scope of work and your job title. Make sure it is stated clearly in the offer letter
