Talk Prof Tariq Ramadhan at UIA

Alhamdulillah, diberi kelapangan utk kteowg (Atiqah, Dura, Eju n me) to attend the talk In the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad SAW on How Muslims should contribute to the world by Prof Tariq Ramdhan, the grandson of Imam Syahid Hassan al-Banna.

Amazed by the huge number of audience of 2500 , he started his talk by mentioning the gist of this hadith :
Ertinya:
Daripada Tsauban r.a. berkata: Rasulullah saw. bersabda; "Hampir tiba suata masa di mana bangsa-bangsa dun seluruh dunia akan datang mengerumuni kamu bagaikan orang­orang yang hendak makan mengerumuni talam hidangan mereka". Maka salah seorang sahabat bertanya  "Apakah dari kerana kami sedikit pada hari itu?" Nabi saw. menjawab, "Bahkan kanu pada hari itu banyak sekali, tetapi kanu umpama buih di waktu banjir, dan Allah akan mencabut rasa gerun terhadap kamu dari hati musuh-musuh kamu, dan Allah akan mencampakkan ke dalam hati kamu penyakit 'wahan"Seorang sahabat bertanya, "Apakah wahan itu hai Rasulullah?" Nabi kita nenjawab, "Cinta pada dunia dan takut pada mati".
He stressed that the last message from Prophet Muhammad SAW should be spread to all -the visible and invisible world which include the non-muslims.Its our responsiblity to reach them , to spread the love of Islam.

Allah is close to your intention not mistakes.Be interact with Allah because Allah is in you, Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati kita sama ada yg diluahkan atau disembunyikan.always ask help from Allah bcoz we have no power at all utk buat apa2 sbb Tiada daya dan upaya melainkan dengan pertolongan Allah jua

He also advised to make your home special. Remember to always greet salam when you are entering house even when there is no one in your house. this is to repect the invisible world like the angels, jin etc. Macam dlm solat kte pn ble kte bg salam mse akhir solat is actually kte bg salam kt malaikat Raqib dan Atid yg mencatat amalan buruk dan baik kte.

our story with Allah is like a love story. full with emotions, interactions, feelings etc. so the question to ponder is are we in love with our Creator like Allah is loving you every seconds?


He also mentioned that in this life, there are full of contradictions. gud bad, rajin malas, positive negative etc. When we feel happy with the contradictions we are facing, it is called hypocrisy. this is a condition we want to really avoid. a condition where we feel complacent, cukup, ego, sombong, dan biasa dgn sesuatu yg xbaik. eg: you dun feel anything when you raised ur voice with ur mummy when infact you tell people to do gud with ur parents etc. dun practise what u preach is a sin.



but, if we are struggling with the contradiction that we constantly facing in life,is a gud sign! because we are striving to be better, to practise what we preach, to be consistent and istiqamah .

look around you. look nature as a gift not property.its the same thing I guessed if we relate with all the nikmat given from Him to us. like our pancaindera, family, good health, gadgets etc.in other words, change the way you see everything in a spiritual way including the poor.

Prof Tariq Ramadhan also mentioned about the men should treat women better. show that you care you parents, kids, family, friends n society. one of the best quote from him:
Never forget to tell the people you love that you love them bcoz love needs repetition. =)
As the talk continues, he advised to the youth to respect and never neglect your parents bcoz Allah's redha is with our parents' redha. just like what Allah says in Quran:

“Dan Tuhanmu sudah perintahkan, supaya engkau tidak menyembahkan melainkan kepadaNya semata-mata dan hendaklah engkau berbuat baik kepada ibu bapa. Jika salah seorang daripada keduanya, atau kedua-duanya sekali, sampai kepada usia tua dalam jagaan dan peliharaanmu, maka janganlah engkau berkata kepada mereka (sebarang perkataan kasar), sekalipun perkataan ‘uuh’ dan janganlah engkau menengking mereka, tetapi ucapkanlah kepada mereka perkataan mulia (yang bersopan santun). Dan hendaklah engkau merendah diri kepada keduanya kerana belas kasihan dan kasih sayangmu dan doakanlah (untuk mereka, dengan berkata): “Wahai Tuhanku, cucurilah rahmat kepada mereka berdua seperti mereka mencurahkan kasih sayangnya memelihara dan mendidikku ketika kecil.” (Surah al-Israk ayat 23-24).

Behave accordingly, never say you are right, others are wrong. make thing easy for others.

Understand with mind-arrogant
Understand with heart- dignity

Common misconception about Islam is where people including muslims think Islam is difficult, or shud I say difficult is Islam. this is not true. Islam is easy. its the way how you perceived Islam is.

there are 4 qualities in order for you to contribute to this world.
1.confident - confident with Allah's help to help you.

Pada suatu malam 17 Ramadhan setelah penat beribadat, baginda didatangi malaikat Jibril menyerupai seorang lelaki yang kacak memakai pakaian berwarna putih. Dengan tegas lelaki itu berkata : “Bacalah”.
“Aku tidak tahu membaca”, Kata Muhammad.
Lelaki itu memeluk Muhammad dengan kuat lalu berkata lagi,” bacalah olehmu”.
Sekali lagi Muhammad barkata,”aku tidak tahu membaca”.
Lelaki misteri memeluk Nabi buat kali ketiga,”bacalah”.
“Aku tidak tahu membaca!”, kata Muhammad sekali lagi.
Kemudian lelaki itu mengajar Nabi surah Al‐Alaq : 1‐5,
Firman Allah :
96:1
Maksudnya : “Bacalah dengan nama Tuhanmu yang menciptakan."96:1
Dia telah mencipta manusia dari segumpal darah. Bacalah dan Tuhanmu yang Maha Pemurah. Yang mengajar dengan perantaraan kalam. Dia mengajar manusia apa yang tidak diketahuinya.”

2.trust
3.ambitious
4.courageous

remember death. If you want to have a good life, don't forget death.
connect tauhid and humanity

in education, know and understand is important. so, when you know, you should be able to talk about that. deal with the reality don't deny it. equip yourself. be innovative.prioritize! invest in education to have a dignified citizen. special advice to the overseas student, come back and contribute to the community. and one other thing is don't have inferiority complex!

Ramadhan is a school for all. eat less, think more! make sure the amount you break fast is less than the usual amount of food you eat to really get the meaning of puasa.

when you realised you have done something wrong, it means you are never far away from the solution. spread forgiveness and learn to forgive yourself because Allah will always forgive you.
remember, to change the world, it starts with yourself! 
last but not least take care of yourself, heart n mind. =)
