History of the Qur'an

In this Book, the Holy Prophet's life, the history of the Arabs and the events which occurred during the period of the revelation of the Quran have not been mingled with the Divine Verses, as is the case with the Bible. The Quran is the pure word of God. Not one word therein is not divine. Not a single word has been deleted from its text. The Book has been handed down to our age in its complete and original form since the time of Prophet Muhammad. From the time the Book began to be revealed, the Holy Prophet had dictated its text to the scribes. Whenever some Divine Message was revealed, the Holy Prophet would call a scribe and dictate its words to him. The written text was then read out to the Holy Prophet, who, having satisfied himself that the scribe has committed no error of recording, would put the manuscript in safe custody. The Holy Prophet used to instruct the scribe about the sequence in which a revealed message was to be placed in a particular Surah (chapter). In this manner, the Holy Prophet continued to arrange the text of the Quran in systematic order till the end of the chain of revelations. Again, it was ordained from the beginning of Islam that a recitation of the Holy Quran must be an integral part of worship. Hence the illustrious Companions would commit the Divine verses to memory as soon as they were revealed. Many of them learned the whole text and a far larger number had memorized different portions of it. Method of preservations of the Quran during the Prophet's time Besides, those of the Companions (pbut) who were literate used to keep a written record of several portions of the Holy Qur'an. In this manner, the text of the Holy Qur'an had been preserved in four different ways during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet (PBUH): (1) The Holy Prophet (PBUH) had the whole text of the Divine Messages from the beginning to the end committed to writing by the scribes of revelations. (2) Many of the Companions learned the whole text of the Qur'an, every syllable of it, by heart. (3) All the illustrious Companions, without an exception, had memorized at least some portions of the Holy Qur'an, for the simple reason that it was obligatory for them to recite it during worship. An estimate of the number of the illustrious Companions may be obtained from the fact that one hundred and forty thousands Companions had participated in the Last Pilgrimage performed by the Holy Prophet (PBUH). (4) A considerable number of the literate Companions kept a private record of the text of the Qur'an and satisfied themselves as to the purity of their record by reading it out to the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Method of preservations of the Quran after the demise of the Prophet It is an incontrovertible historical truth that the text of the Holy Qur'an extant today is, syllable for syllable, exactly the same as the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had offered to the world as the Word of God. After the demise of the Holy Prophet, the first Caliph Hadhrat Abu Bakr (PBUH) assembled all the Huffaz and the written records of the Holy Qur'an and with their help had the whole text written in Book form. In the time of Hadhrat 'Uthman (PBUH) copies of this original version were made and officially dispatched to the Capitals of the Islamic World. Two of these copies exist in the world today, one in Istanbul and the other in Tashkent. Whosoever is so inclined may compare any printed text of the Holy Qur'an with those two copies, he shall find no variation. And how can one expect any discrepancy, when there have existed several million Huffaz in every generation since the time of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and in our own time? Should anyone alter a syllable of the original text of the Qur'an, these Huffaz would at once expose the mistake. In the last century, an Institute of Munich University in Germany collected FORTY-TWO THOUSAND copies of the Holy Qur'an including manuscripts and printed texts produced in each period in the various parts of the Islamic World. Research work was carried out on these texts for half a century, at the end of which the researchers concluded that apart from copying mistakes, there was no discrepancy in the text of these forty-two thousand copies, even though they belonged to the period between the 1st Century Hijra to 14th Century Hijra and had been procured from all parts of the world. This Institute, alas! perished in the bombing attacks on Germany during World War II, but the findings of its research project survived. Another point that must be kept in view is that the word in which the Qur'an was revealed is a living language in our own time. It is still current as the mother tongue of about a hundred million people from Iraq to Morocco. In the non Arab world too, hundreds of thousands of people study and teach this language. The grammar of the Arabic language, its lexicon, its phonetic system and its phraseology, have remained intact for fourteen hundred years. A modern Arabic speaking person can comprehend the Holy Qu'ran with as much proficiency as did the Arabs of fourteen centuries ago. This, then, is an important attribute of Muhammad (PBUH), which is shared by no other Prophet or Leader of Religion. The Book which God revealed to Him for the guidance of mankind is today's in its original language without the slightest alteration in its vocabulary. * This is taken from part of a speech "Message of Prophet's (saw) Seerah", given by Syed Abul 'Aala Muadoodi. He compares the history and authenticity of three scriptures, Torah, Injeel and Quran. If any one needs specific references, the best book for Quran is Al-Itqan fi Uloom-il-Quran by Jalaludin Sayyooti If you need more help, please e-mail. mmirza@ee.eng.ohio-state.eduThis e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it (Muhammad Mirza) * note: This text uses the word God. It is Important to distinguish between God and Allah. Allah is the arabic for God, it differs in that in english we can say gods i.e. suggesting more than one, or goddess suggesting a gender, we cannot do so with the arabic word, Allah. Whilst Allah would be a better name to use, the word God serves its purpose for those unfamiliar with it and Allah (swt) knows best. Brief History of Compilation of the Qur'an Adapted from an article in Perspectives, Vol 3, No. 4, Aug/Sept 1997 During the life of the Prophet (saas) (570-632 CE) The Prophet (saas) used to recite the Qur'an before angel Jibreel (Gabriel) once every Ramadan, but he recited it twice (in the same order we have today) in the last Ramadan before his death. Jibreel also taught the Prophet (saas) the seven modes of recitation. Each verse received was recited by the Prophet, and its location relative to other verses and surahs was identified by him. The verses were written by scribes, selected by the Prophet, on any suitable object - the leaves of trees, pieces of wood, parchment or leather, flat stones, and shoulder blades. Scribes included Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Mu'awiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan, Ubey Ibn Ka'ab, Zayed Ibn Thabit. Some of the companions wrote the Qur'an for their own use. Several hundred companions memorized the Qur'an by heart. During the caliphate of Abu Bakr (632-634 CE) Umar Ibn Al-Khattab urged Abu Bakr to preserve and compile the Qur'an. This was prompted after the battle of Yamamah, where heavy casualties were suffered among the reciters who memorized the Qur'an. Abu Bakr entrusted Zayed Ibn Thabit with the task of collecting the Qur'an. Zayed had been present during the last recitation of the Qur'an by the Prophet to Angel Jibreel (Gabriel). Zayed, with the help of the companions who memorized and wrote verses of the Qur'an, accomplished the task and handed Abu Bakr the first authenticated copy of the Qur'an. The copy was kept in the residence of Hafsah, daughter of Umar and wife of the Prophet. During the caliphate of Uthman (644-656 CE) Uthman ordered Zayed Ibn Thabit, Abdullah Ibn Al Zubayr, Saeed Ibn Al-Aas, and Abdur-Rahman Ibn Harith Ibn Hisham to make perfect copies of the authenticated copy kept with Hafsa. This was due to the rapid expansion of the Islamic state and concern about differences in recitation. Copies were sent to various places in the Muslim world. The original copy was returned to Hafsa, and a copy was kept in Madinah. Three stages of dotting and diacritization Dots were put as syntactical marks by Abu Al-Aswad Al Doaly, during the time of Mu'awiya Ibn Abi Sufian (661-680 CE). The letters were marked with different dotting by Nasr Ibn Asem and Hayy ibn Ya'amor, during the time of Abd Al-Malek Ibn Marawan (685-705 CE). A complete system of diacritical marks (damma, fataha, kasra) was invented by Al Khaleel Ibn Ahmad Al Faraheedy (d. 786 CE).

.: Petua Menghafaz al Quran :.

ana just nak share jugak tips tips ni sebab Quran adalah satu mukjizat yang terulung yang kadang2 kita ter-abaikan. At least we should make an effort to memorize some soorahs or verses in the Holy Quran, if not the whole Quran itself. May ALlah ease our roads to reach His Blessings.

Memorizing the Qur'an
From Abdur-Rahman Abdul Khaaliq's "Al-Qawaaid
adh-Dhahabiyyah lil-Hifdh il-Quran il-Adheem"
English Translation by Amjad ibn Muhammad Rafiq
University of Essex Islamic Society

My Brother and Sister Muslim - there is no doubt that you know of excellence of memorising the Quran and the excellence of teaching it. The Messenger of Allaah (sas) said:
"The best amongst you is the one who learns the Qur'aan and teaches it." [Reported by Bukhaaree]

Presented to you are some rules which will assist in memorising the Qur'aan, may Allah benefit us by them.


1. Ikhlaas - (Sincerity)
2. Pronunciation and Recitation
3. A Daily Limit for Memorisation
4. Not Surpassing your Limit.
5. Using the Same Copy of the Quran
6. Understanding is the Way to Memorising
7. Only move on when recitation flow's.
8. Reciting to Others
9. Constantly Returning to what one has Memorised
10. Being Aware of the Resembling Parts of the Quran
11. Taking Advantage of the Golden Years of Memorising


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ikhlaas - (Sincerity)The purification of ones intention and correcting ones desire is obligatory. It is likewise for making ones concern with and memorisation of the Quran for the sake of Allaah, the Sublime and Exalted, and for gaining success with His Paradise and obtaining His pleasure.

Also for obtaining those mighty rewards which are reserved for those who recited the Quran and memorised it. Allaah the Exalted said:

So worship Allaah, making the Deen sincerely for Him. Is it not to Allaah that sincere worship is due? [Zumar 39:2-3]
He also said:

Say: I have been commanded that I worship Allaah making the Deen sincerely for Him. [Zumar 39:11]
And the Messenger of Allaah (sas) said:
"Allaah the Exalted said: I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an associate. Thus, he who does an action for someone elses sake as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me." [Bukhaaree and Muslim]

Therefore, there is no reward for the one who recited the Quran and memorised it to show off and to be heard of. There is also no doubt that the one who recited the Quran desiring by it the world and seeking some sort of worldy reward for it is sinful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Correction of ones Pronunciation and Recitation
The first step in memorising the Quran after that of Ikhlaas is the obligation of correcting the pronunciation of the Quran. This does not occur except by listening to a good reciter or a precise memoriser of the Quran. The Quran is not learned except by acquiring it (from another). Thus, the Messenger (sas) who is the most eloquent of the arabs in speech, took it from Jibreel (as) orally. The Messenger (sas) himself used to recited the Quran to Jibreel once in every year and in the year that he died he recited it to him twice. [Reported by Bukhaaree]

Likewise, the Messenger taught it to the Companions (ra) orally and those who came after them heard it from the Companions and so on for each generation after them.

Taking the Quran from a good reciter is obligatory. Likewise, correcting ones recitation firstly and not depending on oneself in its recitation even if one is knowledgeable of the Arabic language and of its principles, is also obligatory. This is because in the Quran there are many verses which occur in a way that is opposed to what is well known in the rules of the Arabic language.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Specifying a Daily Limit for Memorisation
It is necessary for the one desiring to memorise the Quran that he sets himself a daily limit for memorising. a number of verses for example, perhaps a page or two pages or even an eighth of a juz (one thirtieth of the Quran). So he begins, after he has corrected his recitation and set his daily limit, to learn by frequent repetition. It is also necessary that this repetition is done melodiously and this is so that a person follows the Sunnah firstly and that it the memorisation is made firm and strong secondly. Melodious recitation is pleasing to ones hearing and also assists in memorisation. Furthermore, the tongue will always return to a specific tone (of voice) and as a result of this it will become familiar with any mistake whenever the balance in ones recitation and familiar tone becomes disordered or imbalanced. The reciter will know therefore, that his tongue will not comply with him when he makes a mistake and that if the tone is wrong or out of tune, his memorisation will return to him.

All of this is because reciting the Quran and beautifying it with ones voice is a matter which has been commanded. It is not permissible to oppose this command due to the saying of the Messenger (sas):

"Whoever does not beautify the Quran (recite it melodiously) he is not of us." [Bukhaaree]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Not Surpassing One's Daily Limit until You Have Perfected its Memorisation
It is not permissible for the memoriser to move to a new portion of the Quran until after he has perfected the memorisation of his previous limit. This is so that whatever he has memorised is firmly established in his mind. There is no doubt that amongst those things which aid the memoriser is his occupation with what he has memorised through the hours of the day and night. This occurs by reciting it in the silent prayers, and if he is the imaam then in the loud prayers. Also in the superogatory prayers (nawaafil) and in the times when one is waiting for the obligatory prayers. By this method the memorisation will become a lot easier. In this way it is possible for a person to practise it even if he is occupied with other matters and this is because he does not simply sit at a specific time for memorising the Quran. Thus the night will not arrive except with those verses memorised and firmly established in the mind. And if there is something which has occuppied the memoriser during this day, he should not move onto his next portion of the Quran, rather he should continue on the second day with what he had started with the day before until the memorisation becomes perfected.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Memorise Using the Same Copy (Mushaf) of the Quran
Among the things which aid the memorisation is that the memoriser should keep for himself a specific mushaf (copy of the Quran) which he should never change. This is because a person memorises using the sight just as he memorises using the hearing. The script and form of the verses and their places in the mushaf leave an imprint in the mind when they are recited and looked at frequently. If the memoriser was to change his mushaf from which he memorises or if he was to memorise from a number of different copies the places of the verses would be in different places and also the script may also be different. This makes the memorisation difficult for him. Therefore it is obligatory for the one memorisng the Quran that he does so from a single script and mushaf and he should never replace it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Understanding is the Way to Memorising
Among the things which greatly aid the process of memorisation is understanding the verses that one has memorised and knowing their relationship and link, one to another. This is why it is necessary for the memoriser to read the tafseer (explanation) of those verses which he desires to memorise and that he knows their connection, one with another. Also, that he brings this to mind when he is reciting. This makes it easier for him to memorise the verses. Having said this, it is also necessary that he does not depend on knowing the meaning of the verses alone in memorising them. Rather the repetition of these verses should be the foundation. This should be done until the tongue can recite the verses even if the mind is occupied with other than the meaning of these verses. This is sign that the verses are firmly established in the mind. As for the one who relies upon the meaning alone then he will forget often and his recitation will be disjointed due to his mind being scattered and occupied with other things. This occurs frequently, especially when the recitation is long.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do not move on from a Complete Surah until you have connected the first part of it to the last
After one surah from among the surahs of the Quran has been completed it is desirable for the memoriser that he does not move onto another surah except after having perfected its memorisation and connecting its first part to its last so that his tongue can flow in reciting it, from its beginning to its end. He should be able to recite it without having to think or go through trouble in remembering the verses. Rather it is a must that the memorisation (and recitation) of these verses is like (flowing) water and that the memoriser recites these verses with out hesitation, even if his mind is occupied with more than one thing, away from the meaning of these verses. It should be as a person recites Surah Faatihah without any difficulty or having to think about it. This occurs by repeating thes e verses frequently and reciting them often. However the memorisation of every surah of the Quran will not be like that of Surah Faatihah except rarely but the intent and desire should be to try to make it as such. Therefore, it is necessary that when a surah is completed it is firmly established in the mind, with its beginning connected to its end and that the memoriser does not move onto another surah until he has memorised it with precision.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reciting to Others
It is necessary for the memoriser not to depend on himself for his memorisation. Rather he should test his memorisation by reciting the verses or surah in question to somebody else, or he should recite them by following the mushaf. And how excellent this would be if a person had with him a precise memoriser (who would test his memorisation). This is so that the memoriser becomes aware of the possibility of his being forgetful or confused in his recitation (without knowing it). Many individuals amongst us who memorise a surah make mistakes and a person may not realise that until he looks into the mushaf. Furhtermore, the one who desires to memorise may not realise by himself at which place he makes an error in his recitation despite the fact that he may be reciting from a mushaf. For this reason making others listen to his recitation of what he has memorised from the Quran is a means of perceiving and knowing these errors and being constantly aware of them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Constantly Returning to what one has Memorised
The Quran is different from any other material that is memorised such as poetry and prose. And this is because the Quran is quickly lost from ones mind. In fact the Messenger of Allaah (sas) said: "By Him in whose Hand is my soul, it is faster in escaping than a tied camel." Reported by Bukhaaree and Muslim.

No sooner does the memoriser of the Quran leave it for a while until the Quran slips away from him and so he forgets it quickly. This is why it is necessary to constantly follow up what one has memorised and to be vigilant over it. Regarding this we have the saying of the Messenger (sas):

"Verily, the example of the owner of the Quran is like the example of the owner of the tied camel. If he keeps it tied (commits himself to it) he will hold it back and if he lets it loose it will escape from him."
And he also said:
"Commit yourselves to the Quran, for by Him in Whose Hand is my soul, it is faster in slipping away than a tied camel." [Reported by Bukhaaree and Muslim]
This means that it is obligatory upon the memoriser of the Quran to continuously recite what he has memorised from the Quran. With this constant attention and returning to what has been memorised will the Quran remain in his mind and without it, it will escape.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being Aware of the Resembling Parts of the Quran
The various parts of the Quran resemble each other with respect to the meaning, wording and (repetition of) verses. The Exalted said:

Allaah has sent down the most beautiful of speech, a Book, (parts of it) resembling (others) oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it. Then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allaah [Zumar 39:23].

The Quran has approximately six and a half-thousand verses. And there are approximately a thousand verses in which there is a resemblance of some sort. Sometimes there is agreement or difference due to a single letter or a word or two or more. For this reason it is necessary for the good reciter of the Quran that he has special concern for the parts of the Quran that resemble each other in terms of their wording. The excellence of ones memorisation will be according to the extent that one has concern for these resembling parts. One of the ways to aid oneself in this matter is to study those books which deal with this topic of resembling verses in the Quran. Among the most famous of them are:
1. Durratul-Tanzeel wa Ghurratut-Ta'weel fee Bayaan il Aayaat al-Mutashaabihaat fee Kitaab il-Laahi il-Azeez by al-Khateeb al-Iskaafee
2. Asraar ut-Tukraar fil-Quran by Mahmood bin Hamzah ibn Nasr al-Kirmaanee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taking Advantage of the Golden Years of Memorising
The succesful one, inevitably, is the one who takes advantage of the best years of memorisation and these are from the age of five to twenty-three approximately. A person's ability to memorise during these years is very good. In fact these are the golden years of memorising. Therefore, it is necessary for a person to keep himself occupied during the these years of his life, memorising the Book of Allaah as much as he can.

Commiting things to memory at this age can be done very quickly and forgetting is not so easy. This is in opposition to what happens after this time when a person memorises with difficulty and forgets with great speed. He spoke the truth who said:

Memorising in youth is like engraving on stone And memorising when old is like engraving on water

Thus, it is necessary for all of us to take advantage of the golden years of memorising. If we cannot then we should encourage our sons and daughters to do so.
And with Allaah is success and prayers and peace be upon our Messenger Muhammad, upon his family and all his Companions.

Akhirnya jadilah engkau penolong setiaku sebagai nakhoda mengemudi bahtera kehidupan kita...
Susah senang kita tempuh bersama...
Aku terharu dengan segala kebaikanmu...
Kau jaga akhlakmu...
Kau pelihara maruahmu selaku muslimah...
Kau tak pernah mengeluh apabila sering ditinggalkan dek tugasku menjulang
Islam ke persada agung....
Kau jua sanggup menyekang mata menungguku sambil memberikan aku suatu senyuman terindah di ambang pintu tatkala aku pulang lewat malam....
Malah, kau seringkali meniupkan semangat untuk aku terus thabat di pentas perjuangan ini....
Kau tabur bunga-bunga jihad walaupun kita masih jauh dengan haruman kemenangan...

Isteriku..
Tangkasnya engkau selaku suri...
Biarpun kau jua sibuk bersama mengembleng tenaga selaku sayap kiri perjuanganku..
Kau jaga teratak kita dengan indahnya...
Kau siraminya dengan wangian cinta dan kasih sayang....
Kau tak pernah menjadikan kesibukanmu itu untuk kau lari dari amanahmu meskipun jadualmu padat dengan agenda-agenda bersama masyarakat dan kaum sejenismu....
Cekalnya engkau mendidik anak-anak...
Kau kenalkan mereka dengan Allah, Rasul SAW, Ahlul Bait serta para pejuang Islam...

Kau asuh mereka membaca Al Quran...
Malah kau temani mereka mengulangkaji pelajaran dikala menjelangnya peperiksaan...

Isteriku...
Barangkali inilah kebenarannya ungkapan keramat Al Khomeini...
Tangan yang menghayun buaian boleh menggoncang dunia...
Andai Saidatina Fatimah binti Rasulullah SAW masih ada..
Pasti beliau tersenyumbangga kerana masih ada srikandi Islam...

"Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Mengasihani.

Assolatuwassalam, selawat dan Assalamu'alaikum buat junjungan mulia, Muhammad saw Kekasih Istimewa.

Assalamu'alaikum Sejahtera buat calon suamiku, moga Allah sentiasa merahmati dan memberkati dirimu yang tidak pernah kutemui, namun doaku tidak pernah putus mengiringi setiap langkahmu demi meraih keredhaanNya…

“Seindah perhiasan dunia adalah wanita yang sholehah,”

Kumulakan warkah ini dengan bait indah yang ditinggalkan Rasulullah saw kepada seisi alam. Wanita solehah! Idaman semua muslimin di alam maya ini..Alhamdulillah, itulah anjuran Islam yang kita cintai, pilihlah wanita yang mampu menyejukkan pandanganmu dan juga baitul muslim yang bakal dibina tika sampai saat itu, insyaAllah.

Calon zaujku,

”Dinikahi seorang wanita itu kerana empat perkara hartanya, keturunannya, kecantikannya dan agamanya. Maka pilihlah hal keagamaannya, maka beruntunglah kedua-dua tanganmu..”

Telah dinukilkan panduan sepanjang zaman, itulah lirikan utama buatmu memilih calon isteri. Tiap baris itu telah menjadi hafalanku sejak aku mengenali dunia baligh ini.

Jika harta yang kau idamkan, ketahuilah diriku tidak punya apa-apa harta di dunia ini melainkan ilmu agama yang telah dititipkan buatku oleh umi dan abah. Tiada harta untuk kupersembahkan dalam taklik ijab kita nanti. Tiada harta sebagai jaminan bahawa kau akan menikmati sedikit kesenangan apabila ijab bersaksi telah dilafazkan. Hanya ketenangan yang mampu aku sediakan buatmu kerana aku pernah terbaca kata-kata ...

"Dan di antara tanda-tanda kekuasaan Nya ialah Dia menciptakan untukmu isteri-isteri dari jenismu sendiri, supaya kamu cenderung dan merasa tenteram kepadanya, dan dijadikannya di antaramu rasa kasih dan sayang.¨ (lah-Rum: 21)

Jika keturunan yang mulia itu yang kau dambakan, ketahuilah jua aku hanyalah sebatang kara di dunia ini. Arwah umi dan abah telah menitipkan aku di bawah pengawasan Allah sebagai penjaga mutlak diriku. Namun apa yang pasti. Aku adalah keturunan mulia, ayahanda Nabi Adam as dan bonda Hawa as, sama seperti mu. Ingin aku berkongsi lafaz sahih ini denganmu ...

”... maka bertawakkallah kepada Allah, sesungguhnya Allah mengasihi orang yang bertawakal kepadaNya. Jika Allah menolong kamu maka, tiada seseorangpun yang boleh menghalang kamu, dan jika ia mengecewakan kamu, maka siapakah yang dapat menolong kamu sesudah Allah (menetapkan demikian) ? dan ingatlah kepada Allah jualah hendaknya orang yang beriman itu berserah diri...” (Ali Imran : 159-160)

Kecantikan, itulah pandangan pertama setiap insan. Malah aku meyakini bahawa kau juga tidak terlepas seperti insan yang lain. Ketahuilah, jika kecantikan itu yang kau inginkan daripada diriku, kau telah tersalah langkah. Tiada kecantikan yang tidak terbanding untuk kupertontonkan padamu. Telah aku hijabkan kecantikan diriku ini dengan amalan ketaatan kepada tuntutan agama yang kucintai. Kau hanya membuang masa jika kau menginginkan kecantikan lahiriah semata-mata.

aku tidak menjanjikan aku mampu membahagiakan rumahtangga kita nanti, kerana aku memerlukan engkau untuk bersama-samaku menegakkan dakwah islamiyyah ini, dan aku merelakan diri ini menjadi penolongmu untuk membangunkan sebuah markas dakwah dan tarbiyyah ke arah jihad hambaNya kepada Penciptanya yang agung. Melalui pencarian ilmu agama bersama, marilah kita jadikan pernikahan ini sebagai risalah demi meneruskan perjuangan Islam. Aku masih kekurangan ilmu agama, tetapi berbekalkan ilmu agama yang telah dibekalkan ini. Aku ingin menjadi isteri yang sentiasa mendapat keredhaan Allah dan suamiku untuk memudahkan aku membentuk usrah muslim antara aku, kau dan anak-anak kita untuk dibaiahkan dengan ketaatan kepada Allah Yang Maha Esa. Aku bercita-cita bergelar pendamping solehah, seperti mana yang dijanjikan Rasul,

" Semoga Allah memberi rahmat kurnia kepada lelaki yang bangun di tengah malam lalu dia sembahyang dan membangunkan isterinya, maka sekiranya enggan juga bangun untuk bersembahyang, dia merenjiskan air ke mukanya. Semuga Allah memberi rahmat kurnia kepada wanita yang bangun di tengah malam lalu bersembahyang dan membangunkan suaminya. Maka jika dia enggan, dia merenjiskan air kemukanya." (Riwayat Abu Daud dengan Isnad yang sahih)

Renungilah FirmanNya ini, lalu kau akan tahu hakikat diriku dan dirimu dipertemukan oleh Allah atas namanya pertemuan dan jodoh.

“Hai sekalian manusia, bertakwalah kepada Tuhanmu yang telah menciptakan kamu dari diri yang satu, dan daripadanya Allah menciptakan isterinya; dan daripada keduanya Allah memperkembangbiakkan lelaki dan perempuan yang banyak. Dan bertakwalah kepada Allah yang dengan (mempergunakan) namaNya kamu saling meminta satu sama lain, dan (peliharalah) hubungan silaturrahim. Sesungguhnya Allah selalu menjaga dan mengawasi kamu.” (An Nisaa’ : 1)

Calon Suamiku yang dirahmati,

" Kaum lelaki itu adalah pemimpin bagi kaum wanita, oleh kerana Allah telah melebihkan sebahagian mereka (lelaki) atas sebahagian yang lain (wanita), dan kerana mereka (lelaki) telah menafkahkan sebahagian
dari harta mereka".(An-Nissa':34)

Membenarkan seperti apa yang telah Dia katakan dalam QalamNya yang mulia. Aku meyakini bahawa engkau adalah pemimpin untukku dan anak-anak pewaris kejihadan Islam yang bakal lahir. Jadikanlah pernikahan ini sebagai asas pembangunan iman dan bukannya untuk memuaskan bisikan syaitan yang menjadikan ikatan pernikahan sebagai tunjang nafsu semata-mata. Moga diriku dan dirimu sentiasa didampingi kerahmatan dan keredhaanNya. Lakukanlah tanggungjawabmu itu dengan syura kesabaran, qanaah ketabahan moga kita akan menjadi salah satu daripada jemaah saf menuju ke syurga insyaAllah.

Ingin aku berbicara mengenai pemberianmu kepadaku. Kau terlalu Ketahuilah.Jmembimbangkan akan kehendak bersifat duniawi semata-mata. Benar?! Aku tidak menginginkan hantaran bersusun, mas khawin yang hanya akan menyebabkan hatiku buta dalam menilai erti kita dipertemukan oleh Allah atas dasar agama. Cukuplah seandainya, maharku sebuah Qalam Mulia, Al-Quran, kerana aku meyakini Qalam itu mampu memimpin rumahtangga kita dalam meraih keredhaanNya bukan kekayaan dunia yang bersifat sementara. Bantulah aku dalam menjayakan agama Allah ini melalui pernikahan, kerana ia adalah laluan untuk aku menyempurnakan separuh daripada agamaku, insyaAllah. Akhlakmu yang terdidik indah oleh ibu bapa dan orang sekelilingmu, itulah yang aku harapkan daripada kekayaan duniawi yang kau sediakan. Kutitipkan sebahagian daripada pembacaanku dalam Jalan Dakwah Mustaffa Masyhur, tidak lagi wujud keborosan dan kebakhilan kerana semuanya berada di dalam udara Qana'ah (berpuas hati dengan apa yang ada), redha dan yakin bahawa dunia ini bukanlah negara Janatunna'im. Lihatlah rumahtangga Rasulullah s.a.w kadang-kadang berlalu sebulan demi sebulan, pernah dapurnya tidak berasap kerana tidak ada bahan makanan yang dapat dimasak. Walaupun demikian susahnya, rumahtangga Rasulullah s.a.w tetap menjadi rumahtangga yang paling bahagia yang tidak ada tolok bandingnya hingga ke hari ini.

Terlalu panjang rasanya aku mencoretkan warkah ini. Cukup dahulu buat tika ini, andai diizinkan aku akan kembali menitipkankan lagi kiriman bertintakan hati ini. Akhir bicara, maaf andai tiada pertemuan yang kususuli kerana padaku biarlah merindu daripada jemu tatkala kita disatukan.
Wassalam

.::. Ya Allah, gembirakan kami dengan redhaMu .::.

~tulang rusuk kirimu~

pertemuan...
menghadiahkan kita kasih sayang...
jika cinta satu pasti bertemu...
ia tidak ternilai...
kerana antara hati kita
telah tiada antaranya lagi
yang ada hanyalah cinta kasih Ilahi...
kita berpisah hanya sementara
kerna pertemuan bukan milik kita...
jasad dan suara berjauhan sentiasa
namun cinta abadi...
biar berpisah selalu menderita
kerana syurga menagih ujian
sedang neraka dipagari oleh nikmat
bertemu tidak jemu...berpisah tak gelisah...
