bait al-muslim

Bismillah

Besar hati bila dengar ada teman-teman (yang dekat dan yang jauh) yang mendirikan rumahtangga atau yang sedang dalam proses ke arah rumahtangga. Bukan sebab perkahwinan yang membuat diri kesukaan, tapi disebabkan dengan pernikahan akan terbentuknya bait al-muslim. Sejuk mata memandang bait al-muslim. Terasa seperti nak ikut jejak mereka. Tapi..... :D

Sebelum mengenali teman-teman yang dikatakan 'islamik', tak pernah terlintas dalam fikiran tentang bait al-muslim. Maklumlah, dulu-dulu tak pernah terfikir begitu mendalam tentang Islam, tiada penghayatan. Islam dan muslim hanya pada nama. Tapi sejak menukar sekolah, biah sekolah pun sudah lain, barulah timbul kesedaran. Alhamdulillah, terpilih untuk merasakan suasana Islam.

Sekali lagi ku mengucapkan syukur. Alhamdulillah, bila masuk universiti sekarang, masih lagi terpilih untuk meneruskan pelajaran dalam bidang Islam, dalam suasana keislaman. Dan telah dipertemukan dengan teman-teman yang banyak memberi kesedaran tentang Islam, dan lebih-lebih lagi dalam menghayati agama yang suci ini.

Sebenarnya, tujuan utama tulis post ini tentang bait al-muslim. Bait al-muslim sangat-sangat dianjurkan dalam Islam. Moga-moga dari keluarga itu akan terlahir mujahid dan mujahidah yang akan memperjuangkan Islam. Rasulullah s.a.w akan berbangga di hari akhirat kelak dengan ramai umatnya.

Oleh itu, tak salah jika seseorang itu bercita-cita untuk membina sebuah bait al-muslim, asalkan sahaja batas-batas syariah dijaga. Bait al-muslim takkan terbina jika pasangan itu sudah seperti suami isteri lagaknya walaupun belum bernikah. Alhamdulillah, diri ini telah diberi kesedaran mengenai perkara ini. Dan ia merupakan peringatan kepada diri ini pada masa akan datang jika diri ini nak terjebak dengan maksiat 'berpasangan' ni.

I end this post with this beautiful poem by dear sister @ http://alfaqeer.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/my-fahri/

My Fahri is waiting for me,
Just as I am waiting for him.
My Fahri preserves himself & lowers his gaze
Till he meets me & be amazed.

My Fahri speaks gently
and advises much.
My Fahri restricts his dating-fun
Till he meets me, his beloved one.

My Fahri fears Allah
and never miss prayers.
My Fahri cries over his past sins at night
Till I come by & make him feel light.

My Fahri loves the Prophet
and tries to emulate him.
My Fahri will take my breath away
in real life, just as in my dream.

My Fahri never forgets his siwak
and tries to always have wudhu’.
My Fahri treats the sunnah as wajib
& leaves the subha for fear of making a slip.

My Fahri will be shy
when we finally meet.
And make me blush
& I’ll stare at my feet.

My Fahri will love me for my efforts today
and forget my past as I forget his.
My Fahri & I will build a bond
with parents’ blessings, 2 rings, & our first kiss.

My Fahri will whisper sweet words to me
that has never been heard by another girl before.
My Fahri & I will create memories
of jemaah prayers, qiyamulail, & more.

My Fahri will read the Qur’an to me when I am down
& I will read to him when he asks me to.
My Fahri, my Imam, in this life & the next,
Do you know that I am missing you?

My Fahri will understand my dreams & goals
and will support me in my quest for ma’rifatulLah
My Fahri does not distract & obstruct me
but increases my love for the Prophet & Allah.

My Fahri will always greet me with a smile
even if he’s had a bad day at the office.
And I in turn will adorn myself & wait at the door
smelling nice & looking good & ready with a kiss.

My Fahri will share with me his deepest secrets,
his many dreams & biggest fears.
I will be his wife & best friend,
his comforter, his recharge & wiper of tears.

My Fahri & I will take turns
to wake the other up for tahajjud.
My Fahri will still call me gorgeous
when I’m not looking too good.

My Fahri will never raise his voice at me
but advise & admonish me firmly.
My Fahri will know I cry easily
and will cry with me or wipe my tears for me.

My dear Fahri, I hope you know I’ll always need you
despite my notorious independent streak.
This girl will love you more than all her books
that has made her into this geek.

My Fahri will love my parents as if they were his
and I will care for his parents like they were mine.
My Fahri reads widely, thinks deeply & prepares for the next Life
but never neglects me in his dua, like he is always in mine.

My Fahri & I will love for Allah
we’ll make a great tag team.
My Fahri is waiting for me,
just as I am waiting for him.

Moga-moga Allah pertemukan aku dengan 'Fahriku'... Amiin Ya Rabbal 'Alamiin :D

Wallahu a'lam
