Hadith about Doomsday
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 3, Number 56:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah's Apostle had not heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

Hajj Contemplations – Dr. Saleh as-Saleh rahimahullaah
Transcribed from: Hajj & Tawheed | Dr. Saleh as-Saleh rahimahullaah
1. This is a journey that was taken by Prophets and Messengers before you. Those who take the path of the Prophets magnify the tawheed of Allah and His House. There are those, however, who come to perform hajj and their hearts are attached to other than Allaah. They invoke the dead and the righteous, whether present or absent. This is the opposite of tawheed, it is shirk no matter what they call it because it is setting up rivals besides Allaah. So, free your intention from any kind of devotion to other than Allaah. Repent and come with a sincere heart submitting to Allaah remembering what Ibraheem and his son Ismaa’eel said when they were raising the foundations of Allah’s House, the ka’bah:
“Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage – Hajj and ‘Umrah, etc.), and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.”
(Baqarah 2:128)
2. You are set to depart and you may or may not return to your home. Make this journey to Allaah’s House as Allaah wants it. Think of the next journey that is surely coming, the one that leads to the meeting of Allaah, Most High. This raises questions like: What did I prepare for that Day? Am I following Allaah’s Commands? Am I a follower of the sunnah of Muhammad salAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam? Do I really know of Allaah? Am I a believer that Allaah is above the seven heavens over his ‘arsh as He has stated in His Book and as His Messengers have asserted? Am I a believer that believes Allah has a true Face that suits His Majesty as He has affirmed in the Qur’aan and as has been affirmed by His Prophet Muhammad salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam? Am I a believer in all of Allaah’s Names, Attributes and Actions which He has affirmed in His Book and by His Messengers? Or do I just take and accept by my doubt, rejecting, or distorting the meanings of Allaah’s Attributes and Actions?
And invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Everything will perish save His Face. His is the Decision, and to Him you (all) shall be returned.
(Al-Qasas 28:88)
3. Know, may Allaah’s Mercy be upon you, that when you reach the meeqaat there is another meeqaat that is still to come. It is the meeqaat (appointed meeting) on the Day of Ressurection:
Say (O Muhammad salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasalaam): “(Yes) verily, those of old, and those of later times. All will surely be gathered together for appointed Meeting of a known Day.
(Al-Waqi’ah 56:49-50)
4. When you start the talbiyah remember the Command of Allaah ‘azza wa jall to the Prophet Ibraaheem ‘alayhi salaam:
And proclaim to mankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj).
(Al-Hajj 22:27)
The talbiyah you make is in response to the Prophet Ibraaheem’s proclamation to visit Allaah’s house of worship. Allaah is Most Great.
5. Upon entering Makkah remember that you are in the Secure Sanctuary:
Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary (Makkah), to which are brought fruits of all kinds, a provision from Ourselves, but most of them know not.
(Al-Qasas 28:57)
Let one commit himself to repentance, having a good opinion of Allaah, hoping that Allaah will grant him security from His Punishment.
6. You will enter one of the gates of al-Masjid al-Haraam. Then there you are before the magnificent House of Allaah, Most High, the ka’bah. Now you see what you hoped to see for a long time. Thank Allaah subhanahu wa ta’ala for making this possible and hope that He ‘azza wa jall will grant you the greatest reward of seeing His Majestic Face on the Day of Resurrection. This thankfulness is not just in saying “alhamdu-lillaah,” but also by obeying Allaah while on hajj and for the rest of your life.
7. You start your tawaaf knowing that it is a great time for magnifying Allaah the Exalted. Remember Him ‘azza wa jall by His Names, Attributes and Actions. Also while in tawaaf try to reflect upon the time when Prophet Muhammad salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam was prevented from doing the same thing you are doing today. Then think about what he did in clearing out the site from the symbols signifying worship to other than Allaah! All idols were demolished. Busy yourself with du’aa. Ask Allaah, the Most Great, to make you hold to the correct belief and Path of the salaf and make you die on it. Ask Allaah to save you from all forms of shirk and bid’ah.

8. While in sa’yi, contemplate on Haajar, the mother of Ismaa’eel, when she asked her husband Ibraaheem ‘alayhi salaam: “Did Allah order you to do this (leaving her and her baby Ismaa’eel in Makkah)? He said: “Yes.” Her great response was: “Then He (Allaah) will not neglect us!” Think about this great dependence upon Allaah when you are in the sa’yi walking the same path which Haajar took in search for water and for means of life around the mounts of Safa and Marwah. Think about her endurance, perseverance and trust in Allaah. The sa’yi exemplifies the strong belief that we are in need of One Who Sustains and Provides – Allaah, the Exalted.
Think about Ibraaheem’s invocation on his way homeward to Palestine:
O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka’bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.
(Ibrahim 14:37)
Men and fruits came to Makkah from many places. Ibraaheem ‘alayhi salaam returned to visit and later to share with his son Ismaa’eel the noble task of raising the foundations of the ka’bah.
9. The standing on ‘Arafaat is the hajj. The crowds should remind you of the Day of Resurrection. Humble yourself to Allaah, manifest your ‘uboodiyyah to Him Alone through du’aa, sincere intention and strong determination to free yourself from the sins of the past and to build up a commitment to rush for doing what is good. Think of becoming a better person when you return. Rid yourself of false pride and showing off because it may ruin what you gain on this day.
10. You gathered the pebbles and you are about to embark on stoning the jamaraat. This is an act of obedience and remembrance of Allaah, Most Magnificent. The Prophet salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam said: “When you cast the small pebbles (i.e. at the jamaraat), it will be a light for you on the Day of Resurrection.” (1)
11. When performing the sacrifice remember the saying oh Allaah, the Most High:
It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him.
(Al-Hajj 22:37)
12. When you have completed your hajj, do not think that the remembrance of Allaah has ended. Listen to what Allah ‘azza wa jall says:
So when you have accomplished your Manasik [i.e. the rites of hajj] remember Allah as you remember your forefathers or with a far more remembrance.
(Al-Baqarah 2:200)
Special note: If you go to Madeenah then the objective of your visit should be according to the sunnah and not bid’ah. Your intention is to set on a journey to visit the Prophet’s mosque and not his grave. When you reach the mosque and you pray upon entering then you may go to the grave and say, “Assalamu ‘alayka ayyuhan-nabiyy.” (2) The same salaam is also mentioned when you pass by Abu Bakr and ‘Umar without innovations like:
a. Visiting the grave of the Prophet salAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam before praying in the mosque.
b. Making du’aa facing the grave.
c. Seeking nearness to Allaah by means of the Prophet salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam. This is a prohibited form of tawassul.
d. Seeking intercession from the Prophet salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam.
e. Placing the hands upon the grills around the room containing the Prophet’s grave to seek blessings, etc. (3)
Remember the Prophet’s salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam sayings:
“Do not make my grave an ‘eed (place of celebration)…” (4)
“May Allaah’s curse be on the Jews and Christians for taking the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.” (5)
“Those before you took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship. Do not take graves as places of worship for verily I forbid you to do so.” (6)
13. The journey is not meant to gain any material reward. It is a selfless sacrifice solely for Allaah, Most Majestic. It demands true love and fear of Him. It should be performed with full consciousness of one’s heart, with full humility and submission to Allaah. It should not be thought of as a tourist-type excursion or be performed as mere physical rites. It develops sincerity, piety, humility, self-control, sacrifice, and true knowledge of the meaning of submission and obedience to Allaah, Most High. It helps the pilgrim to be a better person who is devoted to Allaah in every aspect of his life.
Footnotes:
(1) Reported by Al-Bazzaar in his Zawaa’id (p. 113) on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. Al-Haafith Ibn Hajar reported that its isnaad is hasan. This hadeeth is reported by Shaykh Al-Albaani in his Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah, V.6, hedeeth #2515
(2) The position of the scholars regarding visiting the gravesites by women can be summarized as follows:
(a) Disliked but not unlawful, (b) Allowable, if done infrequently. If a woman is known as being unable to behave herself within the limits of sharee’ah at a gravesite, then she should be prevented from visiting the graves, (c) Forbidden, and (d) A grave sin
Many scholars state that women visiting the Prophet’s mosque may pronounce the salaam upon the Prophet salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam wherever the person may be. The Prophet salAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam is in a state of barzakh (a state of existence that begins with death and lasts until the Day of Resurrection), the nature of which is only known to Allaah, Most High.

Don't cut nails or hair until you offer sacrifice (Zulhijjah)
Q: What is the ruling on a person who wants to offer an Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal) or deputize someone to sacrifice it on his behalf, should he abide by the acts that are forbidden for pilgrims during the first ten days of Dhul-Hajjah? What is the ruling if I intend to offer a sacrifice and my father or another person assuming Ihram offers it on my behalf, is it permissible for me not to abide by the acts forbidden for pilgrims during the first ten days of Dhul-Hajjah?
A: A person who intends to offer Ud-hiyah should not get his hair or skin hair cut or his nails trimmed after the first day of Dhul-Hijjah until he offers his Ud-hiyah. It has been narrated by the Six Hadith Compilers (Muslim, Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhy, Al-Nasa'y, and Ibn Majah) except for Al-Bukhari (may Allah be Merciful with them)on the authority of Um Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,
If anyone has in his possession a sacrificial animal to offer as a sacrifice (on `Eid-ul-Adha), he should not get his hair cut and nails trimmed after he has entered the first days of Dhul-Hijjah. 
and the wording of the narration of Abu Dawud, Muslim and Al-Nasa'y is: Anyone who has a sacrificial animal meant to be offered as sacrifice, and he enters the month of Dhul-Hijjah should not get his hair cut or nails trimmed until he has sacrificed the animal.
If anyone has in his possession a sacrificial animal to offer as a sacrifice (on `Eid-ul-Adha), he should not get his hair cut and nails trimmed after he has entered the first days of Dhul-Hijjah. and the wording of the narration of Abu Dawud, Muslim and Al-Nasa'y is: Anyone who has a sacrificial animal meant to be offered as sacrifice, and he enters the month of Dhul-Hijjah should not get his hair cut or nails trimmed until he has sacrificed the animal. This rule applies whether he slaughters it himself or authorizes someone else to slaughter it for him. As for those who will authorize someone to slaughter on their behalf, they should not abide by the acts forbidden for pilgrims during the first ten days of Dhul-Hajjah because there is no reported text in this regard. This is not Ihram, for the Muhrim is the one who intends to perform Hajj or `Umrah.
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!

Solat Dhuha hindari kepapaan
"ALlahumma ja'alna minal 'amilin, wala taj'alna minal mutakallimin"
Solat Dhuha hindari kepapaan Oleh ZUARIDA MOHYIN
Tidak Aku ciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan untuk beribadat kepada-Ku.
(al-Dhariyat: 56)
Allah s.w.t. Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Penyayang terhadap hamba-hamba-Nya. Dia
tidak menciptakan makhluk-Nya dengan sia-sia dan tiada manfaatnya. Malah Allah
yang Maha Bijaksana tidak membiarkan mereka dalam keadaan terkapai-kapai tanpa
pedoman dan panduan, terbiar tanpa pengisian dan amalan.
Bahkan dengan rahmat dan kurniaan nikmat-Nya yang tidak terhingga kepada
manusia, Allah s.w.t. dan Rasul-Nya menunjukkan jalan-jalan ibadat dan
ketaatan, begitu juga pintu-pintu kebaikan dan kebajikan untuk diamalkan sesuai
dengan falsafah sebenar penciptaan jin dan manusia seperti ayat di atas. Salah
satu ibadat sunat yang dianjurkan ialah solat sunat Dhuha.
Timbalan Dekan, Fakulti Pengajian Quran dan Sunah, Kolej Universiti Islam
Malaysia (KUIM), Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Nidzamuddin Zakaria menjelaskan, solat
Dhuha bermaksud solat sunat yang dikerjakan pada waktu dhuha, iaitu pada saat
matahari telah naik lebih kurang setinggi sebatang lembing atau galah
(kira-kira jam 20 minit selepas terbit matahari atau lebih) hinggalah matahari
berada tepat di tengah-tengah langit (sebelum menjelang Zuhur).
“Menurut mazhab jumhur ulama iaitu Imam Malik, Syafie dan Ahmad, solat ini
hukumnya sunat muakkad (sunat yang sangat dituntut) sedangkan Imam Abu Hanifah
hanya memandangnya sebagai suatu amalan sunat biasa.
“Justeru, sunah yang ditinggalkan Baginda Rasulullah ini eloklah dijadikan
amalan bertepatan dengan hadis yang bermaksud: Junjunganku tercinta, Nabi
Muhammad s.a.w. telah berwasiat supaya aku mengerjakan tiga perkara iaitu:
Berpuasa tiga hari pada tiap-tiap bulan (13, 14 dan 15 haribulan daripada
bulan Qamariah), mengerjakan dua rakaat solat Dhuha dan juga supaya aku
mengerjakan solat Witir sebelum aku tidur,” kata Nidzamuddin dalam temu bual
baru-baru ini.
Kelebihan
Menjelaskan kelebihan mereka yang mengamalkan solat ini, kata Nidzamuddin,
setiap amalan kebajikan pasti memperoleh ganjaran setimpal daripada Allah
s.w.t.. Pun begitu, ia mestilah dilengkapi dua syarat utama iaitu ikhlas dan
menepati syariat.
“Setiap ibadat yang disyariatkan juga pasti tersirat hikmah dan fadilat yang
tersendiri. Cuma usah pula hikmah dan fadilat ini yang diutamakan. Dibimbangi
ia menjadi suatu tabiat di mana kita beramal lantaran hikmat semata-mata bukan
lahir daripada rasa keinsafan diri.
“Namun demikian, terdapat nas-nas hadis nabawi yang menggesa umatnya
melakukan amalan solat sunat Dhuha dengan disebutkan fadilatnya bagi
menambahkan semangat dan keinginan untuk melakukan amalan mulia ini.
“Di antaranya hadis riwayat Abu Dzar bahawa Nabi s.a.w. bersabda maksudnya:
Setiap orang menjelang pagi, berdasarkan tulang temulang sendi memerlukan
sedekah. Tiap-tiap tasbih itu sedekah, tiap-tiap tahmid sedekah, tiap-tiap
tahlil adalah sedekah dan tiap-tiap takbir adalah sedekah. Menyeru makruf
adalah sedekah, mencegah mungkar adalah sedekah. Semuanya itu sama nilainya
dengan dua rakaat solat Dhuha,” kata Nidzamuddin.
Selain itu, solat ini juga adalah tanda kesyukuran seorang hamba yang
dikurniakan lengkap sendi tulangnya sebanyak 360 batang pada setiap pagi yang
dilaluinya. Justeru, dhuha atau pagi yang penuh nikmat Ilahi itu disyukuri
dengan menyembah Allah, simbolik kepada terima kasih seorang hamba kepada
Penciptanya.
Persoalan yang sering timbul berkaitan solat ini adalah dari segi
keutamaannya kerana ia berada dalam waktu bekerja. Akui Nidzamuddin, kedua-dua
perkara tersebut memang ada kedudukan dan kepentingannya masing-masing.
Pokoknya cara seseorang itu mengendalikannya mestilah seimbang dan saksama
antara tanggungjawab duniawi dan tuntutan ukhrawi.
Hakikatnya, umat Islam perlu memahami kedudukan solat ini. Pertama,
sebaik-baiknya, ia dilakukan di rumah agar dapat dikerjakan dengan lebih
sempurna. Jadi, jika di tempat bekerja, lakukan dengan menggunakan masa yang
sebaik mungkin.
Kedua, sifat solat ini ringkas dan mudah dilaksanakan di mana-mana tempat
(baik di surau atau bilik sendiri). Masanya pula hanya mengambil masa empat
hingga lima minit. Jadi, apalah salah kalau ia dibudayakan.
Ketiga, pada dasarnya ia adalah sunat hukumnya malah Baginda jua tidak
melaksanakannya dalam bentuk yang konsisten. Hal ini diterangkan oleh Aishah:
Aku tidak pernah melihat Rasulullah s.a.w. mendirikan sembahyang sunat Dhuha.
Sesungguhnya aku mendirikan sembahyang Dhuha walaupun Rasulullah
meninggalkannya. Tetapi pada hakikatnya Baginda suka melakukannya, ini adalah
kerana Baginda bimbang jika selalu mengamalkannya, orang ramai akan mewajibkan
ke atas diri mereka. (Riwayat Muslim).
Oleh itu lakukan solat ini di rumah atau di tempat kerja selagi mana ia tidak
memberatkan atau menghalang tugas-tugas lain yang lebih utama dan penting.
Ruang waktu dan waktu afdal
Sesuailah dengan namanya dhuha yang bermaksud pagi. Jadi ruang waktunya
bermula kira-kira 20 minit selepas terbit matahari atau disebut dalam
kitab-kitab fikah sebagai tinggi matahari daripada pandangan jauh sekadar satu
al-Rumh atau batang lembing yakni kira-kira dua meter. Waktu solat ini pula
berakhir sebelum menjelang waktu Zuhur. Jadi, secara mudahnya dapat difahami
bahawa batas waktu solat sunat Dhuha ini antara pukul 7 pagi hingga 1 petang.
Berkenaan waktu afdalnya pula iaitu ketika sinar matahari kian panas
berdasarkan sepotong hadis Nabi s.a.w. yang dirakamkan oleh Zaid bin Arqam.
Rasulullah s.a.w. menjelaskan: Solat Dhuha ini afdalnya ketika matahari telah
meninggi dan kian panas sinarnya. Imam Nawawi menghuraikan masa tersebut
sebagai masa berlalunya seperempat tempoh siang hari iaitu pukul 10 pagi hingga
1 petang (Kitab al-Majmu' karangan Imam Nawawi).
Justeru, waktu sedemikian eloklah dilaksanakan solat tersebut, apatah lagi
pada saat itu badan memerlukan ‘rehat sebentar’ setelah penat bekerja. Maka
disarankan juga sekiranya masa tersebut diisi sekadar empat hingga lima minit
dengan sujud menyembah Ilahi sama ada di rumah atau di tempat kerja dengan
syarat tidak mengetepikan perkara-perkara atau urusan yang wajib dan utama
daripada yang sunat.
Bilangan rakaat
Yang masyhur di kalangan para ulama adalah paling minimum dua rakaat sahaja
dan bilangan yang maksimum adalah lapan rakaat. Cuma terdapat juga pendapat
sebilangan ulama yang mencadangkan bilangan yang paling afdal iaitu empat
rakaat (dilakukan secara dua kali salam). Ini bersandarkan hadis Aishah
(Riwayat Imam Abu Daud) menjelaskan bahawa Nabi melakukannya sebanyak empat
rakaat. Begitu juga hadis Qudsi yang disampaikan oleh Nu’aim yang bermaksud:
Wahai anak Adam! Usahlah dikau lemah daripada mengerjakan empat rakaat Dhuha.
Demikian itu pasti melengkapi kebajikan genap satu hari yang dikau jalani.
(Riwayat Imam Abu Daud dengan sanad yang sahih)
Solat ini juga diriwayatkan berjumlah enam rakaat (tiga kali salam) seperti
hadis Nabi yang disebutkan oleh Jabir bin Abdullah. (Riwayat Imam al-Tabarani)
Dalam pada itu, ada juga riwayat yang dirakamkan oleh Anas bin Malik
menjelaskan bahawa Nabi s.a.w. bersabda: Barang siapa yang menunaikan solat
sunat Dhuha sebanyak 12 rakaat maka nescaya Allah s.w.t. akan membina sebuah
mahligai di dalam syurga kelak. (Riwayat Imam al-Tirmizi)
Tegasnya, bilangan yang masyhur adalah antara dua hingga lapan rakaat. (Kitab
al-Majmu' karangan Imam Nawawi). Oleh itu, eloklah ia dijadikan sandaran bagi
amalan kita.
Cara melaksanakannya
Banyak bahan media cetak yang boleh dirujuk bagi mengetahui cara melakukan
solat sunat Dhuha ini merangkumi bacaan-bacaan dalam solat hinggalah dalam
sujud dan doa setelah selesai ibadat tersebut.
Cuma secara asas dan mudahnya berdasarkan hadis-hadis Nabi, solat sunat Dhuha
ini dilakukan seperti solat-solat lain, cuma bacaan yang dianjurkan Baginda
s.a.w. selepas al-Fatihah, menurut hadis yang disampaikan oleh Uqbah bin Amir,
ialah surah al-Syams pada rakaat pertama dan al-Dhuha pada rakaat kedua.
(Riwayat al-Hakim)
Namun begitu, perkara (bacaan dalam solat) ini adalah sesuatu yang subjektif
dan tidak statik. Maka tidak perlulah hanya terikat dengan kaifiat tertentu dan
bacaan tertentu. Apa yang penting, solat tersebut diniatkan dengan betul,
syarat-syaratnya dipenuhi dan rukun-rukunnya disempurnakan sebaik-baiknya.
Begitu jugalah dengan doa selepas solat tersebut.
Para sahabat yang komited
Antara mereka yang paling komited dengan amalan solat sunat ini ialah Abu
Darda', Abu Hurairah dan Abu Zar al-Ghifari. Mereka komited lantaran wasiat dan
pesanan Nabi s.a.w. kepada mereka ditambah pula dengan sifat mereka yang kuat
beribadat.

Menjelaskan kelebihan mereka yang mengamalkan solat ini, kata Nidzamuddin,
setiap amalan kebajikan pasti memperoleh ganjaran setimpal daripada Allah
s.w.t.. Pun begitu, ia mestilah dilengkapi dua syarat utama iaitu ikhlas dan
menepati syariat.
“Setiap ibadat yang disyariatkan juga pasti tersirat hikmah dan fadilat yang
tersendiri. Cuma usah pula hikmah dan fadilat ini yang diutamakan. Dibimbangi
ia menjadi suatu tabiat di mana kita beramal lantaran hikmat semata-mata bukan
lahir daripada rasa keinsafan diri.
“Namun demikian, terdapat nas-nas hadis nabawi yang menggesa umatnya
melakukan amalan solat sunat Dhuha dengan disebutkan fadilatnya bagi
menambahkan semangat dan keinginan untuk melakukan amalan mulia ini.
“Di antaranya hadis riwayat Abu Dzar bahawa Nabi s.a.w. bersabda maksudnya:
Setiap orang menjelang pagi, berdasarkan tulang temulang sendi memerlukan
sedekah. Tiap-tiap tasbih itu sedekah, tiap-tiap tahmid sedekah, tiap-tiap
tahlil adalah sedekah dan tiap-tiap takbir adalah sedekah. Menyeru makruf
adalah sedekah, mencegah mungkar adalah sedekah. Semuanya itu sama nilainya
dengan dua rakaat solat Dhuha,” kata Nidzamuddin.
Selain itu, solat ini juga adalah tanda kesyukuran seorang hamba yang
dikurniakan lengkap sendi tulangnya sebanyak 360 batang pada setiap pagi yang
dilaluinya. Justeru, dhuha atau pagi yang penuh nikmat Ilahi itu disyukuri
dengan menyembah Allah, simbolik kepada terima kasih seorang hamba kepada
Penciptanya.
Persoalan yang sering timbul berkaitan solat ini adalah dari segi
keutamaannya kerana ia berada dalam waktu bekerja. Akui Nidzamuddin, kedua-dua
perkara tersebut memang ada kedudukan dan kepentingannya masing-masing.
Pokoknya cara seseorang itu mengendalikannya mestilah seimbang dan saksama
antara tanggungjawab duniawi dan tuntutan ukhrawi.
Hakikatnya, umat Islam perlu memahami kedudukan solat ini. Pertama,
sebaik-baiknya, ia dilakukan di rumah agar dapat dikerjakan dengan lebih
sempurna. Jadi, jika di tempat bekerja, lakukan dengan menggunakan masa yang
sebaik mungkin.
Kedua, sifat solat ini ringkas dan mudah dilaksanakan di mana-mana tempat
(baik di surau atau bilik sendiri). Masanya pula hanya mengambil masa empat
hingga lima minit. Jadi, apalah salah kalau ia dibudayakan.
Ketiga, pada dasarnya ia adalah sunat hukumnya malah Baginda jua tidak
melaksanakannya dalam bentuk yang konsisten. Hal ini diterangkan oleh Aishah:
Aku tidak pernah melihat Rasulullah s.a.w. mendirikan sembahyang sunat Dhuha.
Sesungguhnya aku mendirikan sembahyang Dhuha walaupun Rasulullah
meninggalkannya. Tetapi pada hakikatnya Baginda suka melakukannya, ini adalah
kerana Baginda bimbang jika selalu mengamalkannya, orang ramai akan mewajibkan
ke atas diri mereka. (Riwayat Muslim).
Oleh itu lakukan solat ini di rumah atau di tempat kerja selagi mana ia tidak
memberatkan atau menghalang tugas-tugas lain yang lebih utama dan penting.
Ruang waktu dan waktu afdal
Sesuailah dengan namanya dhuha yang bermaksud pagi. Jadi ruang waktunya
bermula kira-kira 20 minit selepas terbit matahari atau disebut dalam
kitab-kitab fikah sebagai tinggi matahari daripada pandangan jauh sekadar satu
al-Rumh atau batang lembing yakni kira-kira dua meter. Waktu solat ini pula
berakhir sebelum menjelang waktu Zuhur. Jadi, secara mudahnya dapat difahami
bahawa batas waktu solat sunat Dhuha ini antara pukul 7 pagi hingga 1 petang.
Berkenaan waktu afdalnya pula iaitu ketika sinar matahari kian panas
berdasarkan sepotong hadis Nabi s.a.w. yang dirakamkan oleh Zaid bin Arqam.
Rasulullah s.a.w. menjelaskan: Solat Dhuha ini afdalnya ketika matahari telah
meninggi dan kian panas sinarnya. Imam Nawawi menghuraikan masa tersebut
sebagai masa berlalunya seperempat tempoh siang hari iaitu pukul 10 pagi hingga
1 petang (Kitab al-Majmu' karangan Imam Nawawi).
Justeru, waktu sedemikian eloklah dilaksanakan solat tersebut, apatah lagi
pada saat itu badan memerlukan ‘rehat sebentar’ setelah penat bekerja. Maka
disarankan juga sekiranya masa tersebut diisi sekadar empat hingga lima minit
dengan sujud menyembah Ilahi sama ada di rumah atau di tempat kerja dengan
syarat tidak mengetepikan perkara-perkara atau urusan yang wajib dan utama
daripada yang sunat.
Bilangan rakaat
Yang masyhur di kalangan para ulama adalah paling minimum dua rakaat sahaja
dan bilangan yang maksimum adalah lapan rakaat. Cuma terdapat juga pendapat
sebilangan ulama yang mencadangkan bilangan yang paling afdal iaitu empat
rakaat (dilakukan secara dua kali salam). Ini bersandarkan hadis Aishah
(Riwayat Imam Abu Daud) menjelaskan bahawa Nabi melakukannya sebanyak empat
rakaat. Begitu juga hadis Qudsi yang disampaikan oleh Nu’aim yang bermaksud:
Wahai anak Adam! Usahlah dikau lemah daripada mengerjakan empat rakaat Dhuha.
Demikian itu pasti melengkapi kebajikan genap satu hari yang dikau jalani.
(Riwayat Imam Abu Daud dengan sanad yang sahih)
Solat ini juga diriwayatkan berjumlah enam rakaat (tiga kali salam) seperti
hadis Nabi yang disebutkan oleh Jabir bin Abdullah. (Riwayat Imam al-Tabarani)
Dalam pada itu, ada juga riwayat yang dirakamkan oleh Anas bin Malik
menjelaskan bahawa Nabi s.a.w. bersabda: Barang siapa yang menunaikan solat
sunat Dhuha sebanyak 12 rakaat maka nescaya Allah s.w.t. akan membina sebuah
mahligai di dalam syurga kelak. (Riwayat Imam al-Tirmizi)
Tegasnya, bilangan yang masyhur adalah antara dua hingga lapan rakaat. (Kitab
al-Majmu' karangan Imam Nawawi). Oleh itu, eloklah ia dijadikan sandaran bagi
amalan kita.
Cara melaksanakannya
Banyak bahan media cetak yang boleh dirujuk bagi mengetahui cara melakukan
solat sunat Dhuha ini merangkumi bacaan-bacaan dalam solat hinggalah dalam
sujud dan doa setelah selesai ibadat tersebut.
Cuma secara asas dan mudahnya berdasarkan hadis-hadis Nabi, solat sunat Dhuha
ini dilakukan seperti solat-solat lain, cuma bacaan yang dianjurkan Baginda
s.a.w. selepas al-Fatihah, menurut hadis yang disampaikan oleh Uqbah bin Amir,
ialah surah al-Syams pada rakaat pertama dan al-Dhuha pada rakaat kedua.
(Riwayat al-Hakim)
Namun begitu, perkara (bacaan dalam solat) ini adalah sesuatu yang subjektif
dan tidak statik. Maka tidak perlulah hanya terikat dengan kaifiat tertentu dan
bacaan tertentu. Apa yang penting, solat tersebut diniatkan dengan betul,
syarat-syaratnya dipenuhi dan rukun-rukunnya disempurnakan sebaik-baiknya.
Begitu jugalah dengan doa selepas solat tersebut.
Para sahabat yang komited
Antara mereka yang paling komited dengan amalan solat sunat ini ialah Abu
Darda', Abu Hurairah dan Abu Zar al-Ghifari. Mereka komited lantaran wasiat dan
pesanan Nabi s.a.w. kepada mereka ditambah pula dengan sifat mereka yang kuat
beribadat.
