Astaghfirullah

hadith 40 fadhilat amal

i'm reading the fadhilat amal page 175-182 and i'm writing this as a reminder to myself.

Diriwayatkan daripada Huzrat Abu Hurairah ra, katanya Rasulullah saw bersabda, 'Iman terbahagi kepada lebih daripada tujuh puluh bahagian(atau tujuh puluh tujuh bahagian). Bahagian yang paling afdal ialah ucapan la ila ha illlah dan yang paling rendah ialah menjauhkan perkara yang menyakiti dari jalan dan sifat malu juga adalah sebahgian dari iman.' (Hadith Riwayat Bukhari, Muslim dan lain-lain)

Keterangan

1 Sifat malu telah disebut oleh Rasulullah saw secara khusus di atas, kerana sifat malu merupakan sebab terhindarnya banyak dosa seperti berzina, mencuri, mencarut, mendedahkan aurat, memaki hamun dan sebagainya.

2 Perasaan malu dalam kehidupan dunia dan akhirat adalah jelas merupakan pendorong untuk melakukan amalan kebajikan seperti solah, zakat dan haji. Sifat malu juga merupakan sebab seluruh perintah Allah sbt yang lain ditunaikan. 

3 'Segala fikir untuk menjaga maruah diri adalah hanya kerana adanya sifat malu. Pasti akan datang dalam perasaannya, jika saya tidak mengerjakan solah maka di mana saya akan sorokkan muka saya di akhirat nanti? Sebaliknya jika tidak ada sifat malu seseorang itu akan berfikir' Apa peduli dengan kata-kata orang?'

Peringatan

Diterangkan dalam hadith di atas bahawa iman mempunyai lebih daripada tujuh puluh cabang. Imam Nawawi rah berkata, 'Nabi Muhammad saw telah menetapkan bahawa yang paling tinggi antara cabangan iman ialah kalimah tauhid yakni la ila ha illah. Dengan ini dapat diketahui bahawa antara cabangan iman, tauhidlah menduduki darjah yang paling tinggi dan tidak ada sesuatu yang lain daripada cabangan iman yang mengatasinya. Lantaran itu dapat diketahui bahawa perkara yang terpenting bagi setiap orang Islam yang mukallaf dan darjah yang paling rendah daripada cabangan iman ialah membuang daripada jalan sesuatu yang boleh menyusahkan seseorang Islam. Kedudukan cabangan iman yang lain adalah di antara kedua-dua cabangan iman tersebut.

Terdapat pelbagai tulisan oleh para penulis syarah kitab Bukhari berkaitan cabangan iman ini. Mereka telah membuat ringkasan yang hasil rumusannya ialah bahawa kesempurnaan iman adalah merupakan himpunan tiga perkara. 

1 Membenarkan dengan hati yakni meyakini keseluruhan perkara yang berkaitan dengan iman. 

2 Ikrar dengan lidah.

3 Mengamalkan (tuntutan iman) dengan anggota tubuh badan.

Keseluruhannya cabangan iman terkandung dalam 3 perkara tersebut.

Pertama: 30 perkara yang berkaitan dengan akidah

Kedua : 7 bahagian amalan lidah

Ketiga : 40 amalan yang berkaitan dengan baki anggota badan yang lain.

Inilah 77 cabangan iman. Setiap orang hendaklah merenung dan memikirkan sifat-sifat tersebut, sekiranya terdapat mana-mana sifat tersebut dalam dirinya maka dia hendaklah bersyukur kepada Allah sbt kerana hanya dengan taufik dan kasih sayang Alah sbt seseorang itu memperoleh kebaikan. Sifat-sifat yang masih belum diperoleh hendaklah diusahakan dan sentiasa berdoa untuk menghasilkannya.

"Dan tiadalah aku akan beroleh taufik(untuk melakukan apa-apa jua kebaikan) melainkan dengan (pertolongan) Allah'

Ten Ways to Motivate Students

 In order to fight against boredom in their classroom teachers may implement this 10 ideas  by Melissa Kelly 

1. Publish Student Work

Seeing one’s work in print or posted on the Internet as part of a classroom website can be truly motivating. This will allow students to have a goal to work towards and they can see and share the results of their hard work with others.

2. Use Supporting Material and Props

Bringing manipulatives and props into the class can be truly motivating. Some history teachers have been known to dress up as characters from history like Abraham Lincoln or Theodore Roosevelt which is always fun for students and teacher alike. However, even just bringing in items like foreign money that can be passed around or posting pictures around the classroom about the topic at hand can be interest building for students.

3. Provide Specific Rewards Students Can Work Towards

Come up with one or more rewards that students can work towards. Maybe you agree to allow them 10 minutes of free time on Fridays or you will provide them with popcorn during the next lesson specific movie. Whatever it is, come up with what the students need to do to achieve the goal and stick to your plan.

4. Provide Choices for Students

Whenever possible, allow students to have some choice in what they are learning. For example, if you are having the students write an essay, you might give them a couple of broader topics to choose from so that they can pick something they are more interested in. Another area of choice can come in the method of presentation for projects. The students may choose to create a website, a PowerPoint, or a song. The ability to demonstrate learning through choice and a variety of methods can be very motivating for students.

5. Have Students Work Towards Individual Goals

Have students come up with one or more specific goals of what they want to achieve in your class. You can attach a grade to these goals in terms of how much effort they put into achieving the goals.

6. Give Students a Role

Allow students to be as involved in possible in your classroom environment. Try to fit in debates and simulations to give them the opportunity to participate in a more direct manner.

7. Connect Learning to the Real World

As often as you can, connect what students are learning to the world around them. By connecting the classroom lesson to the students’ personal lives we can provide them with greater incentives and buy-in on what you are teaching.

8. Mix It Up

Too much of anything can quickly lead to boredom, including lectures, whole group discussions, small group work, debates, and cooperative learning activities. Therefore, make sure to vary your lessons accordingly. Similarly, vary homework assignments so that students are not always doing the same thing every night.

9. Get Students Involved in Contests

Find contests, publishing events, scholarships, and events that students can participate in and work towards outside of the classroom. Maybe you have all your students send a submission for a story to a local magazine. Maybe you have students write an essay for a college scholarship competition. By connecting what you are teaching in the classroom to something that carries real world rewards, you can help increase student involvement.

10. Bring Service Into the Classroom

Most students have an innate desire to work towards a goal greater than themselves. For some this might be that they want to help preserve the environment. Others might want to help the poor or focus on individuals hit hard by natural disasters. If you can tap into this while connecting the actions to lessons in the classroom, you can build on these natural, altruistic desires.
