Menatap bulan yang bersinar terang malam ini membuat benakku diselimuti tanya.
Tuhan, apakah dia juga sedang menikmati bulan yang sama denganku? Atau kini ia justru sedang merayu bulannya yang lain?
Ataukah ia sedang bergelut dengan perasaannya sendiri?
Kuharap pendar cahaya bulan yang lembut ini sampai ke tempat ia kini berpijak, membawa ketenangan dan kedamaian di tengah badai yang mungkin sedang ia hadapi.
Ya, kuharap kelak kita bisa menikmati rembulan dan benda-benda langit lainnya bersama, duduk berdampingan dan saling berbagi cerita.

Semenjak hasil sebuah musyawarah komisariat, saya hakikatkan bahwa sebenarnya adalah cara Allah untuk memberikan jalan kebaikan dan yang paling teknis lagi adalah "Jalan untuk belajar kembali"
Rasa rasanya diamanahkan untuk semakin menggenapi hal hal dasar yang tidak tahu, termasuk makna "Shalahudin Al Ayyubi".
Salah satu hal menarik setelah saya membaca buku "Shalahudin Al Ayyubi Sang Penakluk Jerussalem" adalah pada penggalan berikut
"Saya malu kepada Allah melihatku tersenyum sedangkan kaum Muslim terjajah" kata Nuruddin
Nuruddin adalah seorang penguasa di Syiria. Tutup usia pada 13 tahun seebelum Palestina dibebaskan oleh Shalahudin Al Ayyubi beserta pasukannya atas izin Allaah.
Sedang saat ini Palestina dengan masjid sucinya kembali terjajah. Berawal dari bulan yang sama Zionis mengumumkan berdirinya Negara Israel, yakni 7 Rajab 1367 H atau 15 April 1948
Melalui wadah wadah yang bisa diperjuangkan, maka perjuangkan lah ! Kemuliaan Palestina
Spirit Shoyyub ! Arahkan perahumu, menuju perahu kebaikan !
My name is Mera Yassin, and I am trying to help fix what we know happened to Mai by starting a new fundraiser for her, with her consent. Let’s show her all the love she needs to see!
Mai’s story in her own words:
"I am Mai Rajab from Gaza . We were living a quiet and stable life until the war came and the Israeli occupation displaced us from our homes in Gaza City ( Alwehda street) on October 13, 2023. We went to Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip and took only the necessary papers.
We were sleeping in the street without shelter, and we could not find a single blanket to keep us warm. We could not find any bread to satisfy our hunger. After that, we received help from some people, and we took refuge in my aunt’s house. After that, the place was bombed, and we took refuge in Rafah with the same story. We did not find shelter and we were cold, since we could not take winter clothes to help keep us warm. We are now in a small room with strangers who could not bear to see us like this in the street: crying and dying of cold.
I lost many members of my family and friends. I lost part of my house, and my father's workplace was also destroyed. I have many dreams, I need to be safe!
During the war in 2021, I was pulled from under the rubble! Can you imagine!
Finally, I’m a human and not a number. Wish me a good life.
Thank you.“
My name is Mera Yassin. I hail from Safed, Palestine. My family and I have traversed countries to settle in the United States. The recent events involving Mai and her family deeply affected me.
Despite my efforts to contact Gaia Thomas, I was unsuccessful. I am committed to preventing such incidents from occurring again. I will ensure that the donations reach Mai and her family promptly, aiding their departure from Gaza. Your support and trust are greatly appreciated.
Together, let's realize Mai's dream once more!
If you're not on twitter you may not have seen it, but Mai was recently scammed out of 20K by a woman named Gaia Thomas, who had befriended her and was "helping" her by organizing the previous fund.
Mai is in a desperate situation and the betrayal by Gaia hurt her deeply.
She's been able to get this new fund up and needs help to reach her goal and escape Gaza ASAP!
🍃🍃It's narrated about Amirul Mu'minin that he would fast in the month of Rajab and he is narrated to have said: “The month of Rajab is my month and the month of Shaban is the month of Messenger of Allah and the month of Ramadan is the month of Allah Almighty”.
Al-Hāfidh ibn Rajab al-Hambāli [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“From amongst the signs of beneficial knowledge are that it causes the seeker of knowledge to flee from the worldly-life and its splendors; from leadership, fame and praise. The seeker of beneficial knowledge is one who does not claim to have knowledge; nor does he use it to act arrogantly towards anyone; nor does he describe anyone as being ignorant, except those who oppose the guidance and example of the Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ and its people [i.e., followers].”
Majmū’ Rasā’il, 3/13 | Al-Hāfidh ibn Rajab al-Hambāli [may Allāh have mercy on him]
``All praise is for the Almighty Allah Who honoured this house (Holy Ka’ba) because of his (Imam Husain’s) father and set it as the Qibla of the Muslims which till then was only a house.”
• Hazrat Abbas (A.S.) while standing on the roof of the Holy Ka’ba
Expeditions. The first post-Emigration military expedition, led by Hamza, was sent toward Sif al-Bahr. It arrived just as a Qurayshi trade caravan was returning from Damascus. The Quraysh had usurped all the Emigrants' possessions and traded them in Damascus. The Messenger used this situation to display Muslim power and directly threaten Quraysh's economic well-being. No clash took place in this first confrontation, but the desert tribes witnessing the incident were inclined to acknowledge another source of power in the peninsula.
This expedition was followed by another one commanded by 'Ubayda ibn Harith. With the same purpose in mind, 'Ubayda went as far as Rabigh, a valley on the way to Makka. The 60 Muslim cavalrymen encountered a Qurayshi force of 200 armed men. An exchange of arrows took place and, fearing defeat, the Makkan force eventually withdrew toward Makka.
Military expeditions, some led by The Messenger, now followed one another. In two of the expeditions he commanded, The Messenger went to Abwa and Buwat, respectively, with the intention of threatening Qurayshi trade caravans and intimidating the Quraysh. In Abwa, he concluded a treaty with the Banu Damra tribe: neither side would fight the other, and Banu Damra would not aid the Muslims' enemies.
Shortly before the Battle of Badr (624 CE), The Messenger sent an expedition of about 10 people, commanded by 'Abd Allah ibn Jahsh, to Nakhla, located a few miles from Makka on the way to Ta'if. He told them to follow the Quraysh's movements and gather information about their plans. While they were in Nakhla, a Qurayshi trade caravan coming from Ta'if halted there. Something happened unexpectedly, and the Muslims killed one Makkan and captured the rest (except one) and their belongings. These were taken to Madina.
This event occurred toward the end of Rajab and the beginning of Sha'ban. Therefore, it was uncertain whether the sanctity of Rajab, one of the four holy months, had been violated. The Quraysh, those Jews secretly allied with them, and the Hypocrites made full use of this possible violation in their anti-Muslim propaganda campaign. They claimed that the Muslims shed blood in a sacred month, a time when doing so is prohibited.
Since the incident had taken place without his approval, The Messenger explained to its participants that he had not ordered them to fight. Other Muslims also reproached them. However, a Revelation consoled them on account of their pure intention with hope for God's mercy:
They question you concerning the holy month, and fighting in it. Say: "Fighting in it is a heinous thing, but to bar from God's way, and unbelief in Him, denying entry into the Holy Mosque, expelling its people from it are more heinous in God's sight. Persecution is more heinous than killing." They will not cease to fight with you till they turn you from your religion, if they are able; and whoever of you turns from their religion and dies unbelieving—their works have failed in this world and the next. Those are the inhabitants of the Fire; therein they shall dwell forever. But the believers, and those who emigrate and struggle in God's way—those have hope of God's Mercy. God is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate. (2:217–18)
The verses answered the objections of the anti-Muslim forces. In short, fighting during the holy months is an evil act. However, those who had subjected the believers to continual and indescribable wrong for 13 years merely because they believed in the One God had no right or justification to raise such an objection. Not only had they driven the Muslims from their homes, they had placed the Holy Mosque beyond their reach, a punishment unknown in the Ka'ba's approximately 2,000-year known history. With such a record, who were they to raise such an outcry over a small incident, especially one that had taken place without the Prophet's approval?
Para Todos los que Necesitan una Segunda Oportunidad
“Pero olvida todo eso; no es nada comparado con lo que voy a hacer. Pues estoy a punto de hacer algo nuevo. ¡Mira, ya he comenzado! ¿No lo ves? Haré un camino a través del desierto; crearé ríos en la tierra árida y baldía”. Isaías 43:18-19 (NTV)
La Biblia está llena de personas que tuvieron una segunda oportunidad. Dios es el Dios de las segundas oportunidades, ¡y de las centésimas y milésimas oportunidades!
Abraham, a quien se le llama el padre de la fe, fingió que su esposa era su hermana porque no tenía fe en que Dios lo protegería. Moisés asesinó a alguien. Jonás salió corriendo de su asignación. Rajab trabajaba como prostituta. David cometió adulterio y mandó ejecutar al marido de la mujer. Y, sin embargo, cada una de estas personas está en el “salón de la fama” de Dios en Hebreos 11.
A Dios le encanta dar segundas oportunidades. Si tuvieras que ser perfecto para recibir la gracia de Dios, ¡nadie tendría ninguna posibilidad!
Job recibió algunos de los mejores consejos para recuperar lo que se ha perdido en tu vida y volver al plan original de Dios para ti: “¡Si tan solo prepararas tu corazón y levantaras tus manos a él en oración! Abandona tus pecados y deja atrás toda iniquidad. Entonces tu rostro se iluminará con inocencia; serás fuerte y estarás libre de temor. Olvidarás tu sufrimiento; será como agua que corre. Tu vida será más radiante que el mediodía, y aun la oscuridad brillará como la mañana. Tener esperanza te dará valentía. Estarás protegido y descansarás seguro” Job 11:13-18 (NTV).
¡Qué maravillosa promesa! Cuando te arrepientes de tus errores, Dios siempre te ofrece otra oportunidad. Solo tienes que acercarte a Él, y podrás volver a enfrentar el mundo y tu futuro con valor y esperanza.
Si quieres avanzar hacia el asombroso sueño de Dios para tu vida, entonces tendrás que cerrar la puerta al pasado. Vas a tener que renunciar a tu dolor, tu culpa y tus rencores para que puedas avanzar en la fe.
“Pero olvida todo eso; no es nada comparado con lo que voy a hacer. Pues estoy a punto de hacer algo nuevo. ¡Mira, ya he comenzado! ¿No lo ves? Haré un camino a través del desierto; crearé ríos en la tierra árida y baldía” Isaías 43:18-19 (NTV).
Los días más oscuros de tu pasado brillarán como el amanecer. Brotarán arroyos en el desierto de tu dolor.
¡Aleluya! Esto es lo que Jesús te ofrece hoy cuando te sometes a Él y a su sueño para tu vida.
Reflexiona sobre esto:
¿De qué manera has estado pensando en el pasado?
Pena, culpa y rencor: ¿cuál de estos te impide mirar hacia el futuro con esperanza?
¿Crees que las promesas de Dios en la Biblia son para ti? ¿Cómo lo has visto cumplir las promesas que te hizo?
