Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Sesiapa membaca surah Al-Ikhlas sekali, dikurniakan kepadanya pahala seperti pahala orang yang membaca 1/3 Al-Quran.”

Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Sesiapa membaca surah Al-Ikhlas sebanyak 3 kali nescaya mendapat pahala seperti pahala orang yang membaca Al-Quran sekali khatam.”

Membaca surah Al-Ikhlas sekali ganjarannya sama dengan membaca 10 jus kitab Al-Quran. Lalu dengan membaca surah Al-Ikhlas sebanyak tiga kali khatamlah Quran kerana ianya sama dengan membaca 30 jus Al-Quran. Rasululllah SAW bersabda: “Sesiapa yang membaca 10 kali surah Al-Ikhlas siang dan malam; Maka Allah memberinya sebuah istana dalam syurga.” (HR: Imam Ahmad & Imam Adarimi.)

Diriwayatkan pula dari Ali bin Abi Talib, katanya, Rasululllah SAW bersabda: “Sesiapa yang membaca surah al-Ikhlas 10 kali selepas solat Subuh, maka ia tidak akan tergelincir sekalipun syaitan memperdayanya dengan sungguh-sungguh.”

hi guys. I'm a non Muslim. and I have a question.

i have come to understand that to convert into Islam, one has to ucap dua kalimah syahadah.

i have done that many times. does it make me a Muslim, but I don't practice most of the teachings.

its been 10 years after tsunami 2004
al-fatihah to all the victims
who knows that a person happiest day in his/her life might turned into tragic ending

I'm not saying Quran is only applicable in one era. What I'm trying to say is, when we read the text, we should also know the context of the text, not follow it simply literally.

I agree with you, we shoud selarikan, which is what we reformist muslim is trying to call for, reinterpetation of the text. It's about INTERPRETATION. Quran is always applicable, in all era, but in which interpretation?

But bear in mind, we call for this, but doesn't mean it's not happening yet, reformation within Islam has been going on since forever.
Kenapa tidak? Kita bukan mahu "ubah Islam", tapi memperbaharui pemahaman, intrepretasi quran dan hadis. Quran dan Hadith itu masih sama. Dan ini bukan benda baru, memang pemahaman telah dan sedang diperbaharu. Islam yang dipraktis sekarang tidak sama exactly dengan Islam beratus2 tahun dahulu, meaning praktisan Islam sudah sememangnya "berubah".

Mungkin ada yang terkejut dengar ini, Islam berubah. Perkataan "berubah" itu mengejutkan, dan akan ada yang tidak setuju. Bukan saya kata Islam itu berubah, cuma pemahaman itu diperbaharui dengan timbulnya minda moden, negara itu negara ini, fatwa itu fatwa ini, mazhab itu mazhab ini, pembaharuan perlahan dalam beratus2 tahun.

To me, you sound like those who call for the caliphate system to be back in this modern times. Am I correct?
If so, I disagree with that.

I do not understand why ppl become extremists, i would never do. The caliph state system is long gone, it's history, so stop trying to bring back the past that you know wont happen. If killing is the way they do it, justifying that this is the same like old times holy war... They're just plain wrong.

Sad thing is that many malaysians, including some in this forum, agree with establisbing such thing, condoning all these killings. It's sad. Future in malaysia is bleak. I reject pas with their extremist mind. What is more important to me, is that we all, regardless of religion, can live equally in harmony.

And god give us brain to think. Question everything. I dont simply accept things.

And i need to add, some ustaz are quite extremist minded as well... Why are we following them? We shouldnt. No matter what his title is. Ustaz or ulama. Those are plain titles.

Like I said, instead of perubahan, it more of a pembaharuan, renewal. We are not "changing" Islam.

If you want renewals, look at the fatwas being issued everyday. The differing ideas of modern muslims vs old muslims. Introduction of "new" system such as democracy, civil law.

If you're looking for specific, for a small black-white change, means you don't understand the overall concept of reformation. I suggest you go read up about it.
Oh come on, now.. google stuff, people! Let's read more, I'm still learning too.

So now this is getting personal?

The very core of reformation is related to individualism. Nowadays, individualism has increased. That's an example.

Reinterpretation of the text is in light of modern knowledge. Now we understand equality more, we incorporate modern system and ideology, etc. That's an example.

Again, this is a gradual process in a broad scale. You are looking for specific example, meaning you don't get it yet.

It should not be personal, or targeting individual.

I myself use bad words too sometimes 
Yes I can. But I wont. It's tiring to make this personal. Read more about it yourself. And yeah, I'm no sarjana besar, you should learn from better people.

I just ignore whatever notoriusfiq statement, apparently he is here to ensure the thread get derailed.

May Allah have mercy on him.
