Salam alaik everyone!

So sorry for the uncalled 'hiatus'. Its just that, with the recent handover of posts during AGM, we've had to sort certain things out first.

Yes, administration stuffs and the like.

Just to inform you, Taman Ilmu will commence on the..

10th of July 2009.

Yes, this time round, Taman Ilmu sessions will be held every FRIDAY @ 530 to 7 insyaAllah.

For this year, Taman Ilmu will be held as a mixture of a formal class and also a sharing session.
After every topic was brought about and elaborated by the speaker, we will form an usrah circle in which everyone is entitled to voice their opinions, ask questions and discuss on the issue at hand.

Taman Ilmu is currently undergoing a new process of having its own research team to research on the materials needed for any upcoming sessions. Reason being is that, we would like Taman Ilmu tu be self-sufficient upon its own resources instead of relying too much on asatizahs.
Asatizahs will still be invited down occassionally to share their input on various topics, insyaAllah.


So, on behalf of the Ahlul 'Ilm Intifadha (Taman Ilmu Research Team), we hope to see you on the 10th of July. Further details will be put up on this blog insyaAllah, so please do look here constantly for updates(:

Jazkallahu khairan
Fi amanillah barakallahu feekum

Apologies

Assalaamu'alaikum everyone!

Firstly, we'd like to welcome all the Muslim freshmen to SP! May Allah swt Bless your quest to seek knowledge. 

Anas (RA) said: the Messenger of Allah (SAAW) said:

"He who leaves his home in order to seek knowledge, he is in Allah's path
until he returns [to his home]."

(At-Tirmidhi, Sunan, An-Nawawi, Riyad As-Salahin)

Secondly, we seek your forgiveness for our long absence. It is really due to our own shortcomings that we weren't able to organise more Taman Ilmu sessions in the previous academic year. We also apologise for the lack of updates.

The 36th exco is currently busy with preparations for our upcoming Annual General Meeting, but if anyone wishes to kickstart an informal Taman Ilmu session, be it a tazkirah or an usrah or a halaqah or a tadarus Al-Qur'an session, feel free to come by our clubhouse and start one, whether or not you're a member. 

We have several copies of the Qur'an, and translations as well as a collection of books on Islam if you need to refer to anything.

Oh yes, we're serious. =D 

Sometimes our sessions start from an impromptu discussion, so we're okay with that =)

By the way, if you are unsure of where the Musollahs are around your schools' area (SB or MM or BE etc), please don't hesitate to ask around. 

We apologise to our Kem Wajar participants for not showing you around the school due to limited time, so please do ask us if you wish to know where the Musollahs are. Insya'Allah if we have the time, we'd bring you to the Musollah personally. =)

Insya'Allah we will be reviving Taman Ilmu again this year, and we seek your support in making that possible.

Please do visit SPMLS's Facebook Group by clicking here for updates of our forthcoming activities!

Thank you!

Jazaakallahu Khair =)

The Seven Wonders of the Muslim World

Assalaamu'alaikum!

Dzulhijjah is nearing, and as we eagerly wait for Aidil'adha to arrive, let's take a look at some of our most important mosques.



Let us pray for the safety of our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters who are/will be performing their hajj. May Allah s.w.t. Protect them. Amin. (:

You can find the rest of the series on youtube!

Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Rahiim

Assalaamualaikum!

As Muslims, we try our best to perform deeds that we hope will ultimately please Allah swt. One of the best ways to do so is to follow the ways of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w., or better known as the Sunnah.

I think we've all done our own fair bit of research on the Sunnah through the books and the internet, and learnt quite a fair bit in the religious classes or lectures we've attended as well.

To me, it's quite pressurizing to realise the high level of conduct that Allah s.w.t Expects of us and the amount of responsibilities He Has Assigned to us.

So when I found this article, from www.fridaynasiha.com, an initiative by Young Muslims of Canada, I was reminded of why Allah is known as Ar-Rahmaan, Ar- Rahiim, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful (:

Realistic Method

The Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him, does not regard people as if they were winged angels, but as human beings who eat food and live in the markets, who have their dispositions and passions, their necessities and their needs - just as they also have elevated spiritual aspirations and are elevated by them to the host of heaven.

They were created from clay and moulded mud, but also there is in them a breath from the spirit of God. Little wonder then that a human being ascends and descends, that he makes progress and he stumbles, that he is guided and goes astray, that he stands firm and he deviates, that he disobeys God and he repents.

The Sunnah makes allowance for the reality of the human being and it relents from him when he lapses into disobedience. It does not close the door in the face of repentance. Rather, it opens it wide before him so that he can knock on that door, repentant and remorseful before his Lord.

As in the hadith: "God spreads out His hands through the night so that He may accept repentance for the offences of the day; and He spreads out His hands through the day so that He may accept repentance for the offences of the night - until the sun rises in the west." [Muslim]

The Sunnah makes allowance for the different conditions of human beings, and the differences between them, whether innate or acquired. In consideration of such differences the Messenger would answer a single question from a number of persons with multiple answers - so he did not apply to an old man a ruling on the matter appropriate to a youth; or to someone in conditions of necessity a ruling appropriate to one in abundance and enjoying freedom of action. Similarly, he considered the customs of peoples and their diversity: so he let the Abyssinians play with their spears in his mosque on the day of Eid; and he let Aishah watch them from behind his shoulder.

In the same way he urged the girls to come and play with her, as a concession to her being young. So too he made lawful entertainments at weddings, and at celebrations for the return of someone long absent, and other such occasions, as a concession to the need of human beings for amusement and recreations.

Many examples of the Sunnah inform us of the realism of this divine Prophetic pattern.
