Bersoal jawab dengan makhluk yang amat mengerikan

Malam jumaat – jam 12.15. Macam biasa, sebelum tidur baca buku jap.

Dari Imam al-Ghazali;

“Siapakah engkau?” Soal seorang lelaki apabila dilihatnya satu makhluk yang amat mengerikan dan menakutkan sekali.

“Akulah amalmu yang buruk” Makhluk itu menjawab dengan garangnya.

“Apakah caranya agar aku dapat selamat dari engkau?” tanya lelaki itu dalam ketakutan.

“Dengan membaca selawat ke atas Nabi Muhammad s.a.w”  kata makhluk itu lagi.

Terus teringat satu lagu yang pernah bertamu di hati satu ketika. Masa pertama kali berblog. Suka sangat …  sedihpun ada bila mendengarnya. Rasa sungguh syahdu dan menusuk di jiwa.

We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
O Allah we?ve shamed ourselves
We?ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,
Surely we?ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front of him?
O Mu'allim...

Chorus
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.
Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allah?s creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
(O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)

He prayed while others slept
While others ate he?d fast,
While they would laugh he wept
Until he breathed his last,
His only wish was for us to be
Among the ones who prosper,
Ya Mu'allim peace be upon you,
Truly you are our Teacher,
O Mu'allim..

Chorus
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Ya Rasuli ya Muhammad
(O My Messenger O Muhammad)
Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad
(O bearer of good news O Muhammad)
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad
(O warner O Muhammad)
'Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad
(The love of my heart O Muhammad)
Nuru 'Ayni ya Muhammad
(Light of my eye O Muhammad)
He taught us to be just and kind
And to feed the poor and hungry,
Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
And to not be cruel and miserly,
His speech was soft and gentle,
Like a mother stroking her child,
His mercy and compassion,
Were most radiant when he smiled
