Petua Menjadi Pelajar Cemerlang Menurut Al-Quran

Petua Menjadi Pelajar Cemerlang Menurut Al-Quran @ iluvislam.com


Mari kita renung-renungkankan kembali beberapa petua atau tips kejayaan yang telah Allah SWT titipkan di permulaan surah Al-Mu'minun, surah yang ke-23 di dalam lembaran Al-Quran.


01.Keyakinan, kepercayaan and keimanan kepada Allah SWT 
"Sesungguhnya berjayalah orang-orang yang beriman." [23:1]
Iman dan kejayaan disebut oleh Allah SWT dalam ayat yang sama. Maka imanlah faktor utama kejayaan. Dan keyakinan yang tinggi inilah yang akan melahirkan sikap positif yang bakal disebutkan dibawah.
02.Fokus, bersungguh-sungguh, sepenuh hati
"iaitu orang-orang yang khusyuk dalam solatnya." [23:2]
Lakukan satu-satu perkara dalam satu-satu masa. Jangan mencapah dan melayang fikiran ke sana ke mari. Lakukan dengan sepenuh hati, bukan sambil lewa.
03.Prioriti. Mengutamakan apa yang utama.
"dan orang-orang yang menjauhkan diri dari lagha (perbuatan dan perkataan yang tidak berguna)." [23:3]
Kebiasaannya dalam menghadapi musim peperiksaan yang penuh tekanan, kita cenderung untuk berehat dan menenangkan minda dengan hiburan, menonton drama, bersembang di Facebook dan seumpanya sehinggakan selalu sahaja melebihi daripada masa rehat yang telah kita peruntukkan. 
Sebaik-baiknya kita mengoptimumkan penggunaan masa untuk belajar, dan mengisi masa rehat kita dengan perkara-perkara yang berfaedah seperti membasuh, melipat atau menggosok baju, bersenam untuk melancarkan perjalanan darah di dalam badan dan bermacam-macam lagi yang anda sendiri lebih sedia maklum.
Namun, sebaik-baiknya kita gunakan masa rehat itu untuk mengambil wudu', melakukan solat sunat dan membaca Al-Quran. InsyaAllah apabila kita lebih rapat dengan Allah SWT, jiwa kita akan lebih tenang dan ia akan banyak membantu dalam usaha kita mengulangkaji pelajaran.
Kita dikehendaki menghindarkan diri dari perbuatan mengumpat pensyarah/guru kerana perkara-perkara sebegini tidak mendatangkan faedah kepada masa depan anda, tidak menambahkan markah untuk kertas peperiksaan yang bakal/telah diduduki, malah boleh mendatangkan dosa dan kemurkaan Allah SWT.
04.Prihatin sesama kita
"dan orang-orang yang menunaikan zakat." [23:4]
Walaupun sedang berada di saat-saat genting, janganlah kita bersikap terlalu mementingkan diri, dan mengabaikan kawan-kawan yang lebih susah di sekeliling kita. Kongsilah apa yang termampu, samada ilmu, kertas-kertas soalan tahun lepas dan lain-lain. Sharing is caring.
05.Jaga hubungan antara lelaki dan perempuan
"dan orang-orang yang menjaga kehormatannya. kecuali terhadap isteri-isteri mereka, atau hamba yang mereka miliki, maka mereka (isteri dan hamba) dalam hal ini tiada tercela. Sesiapa yang mencari dibalik itu, mereka itulah orang-orang yang melampaui batas." [23:5,6,7]
Janganlah kita menggunakan alasan belajar untuk melanggari batas-batas pergaulan antara lelaki dan perempuan ajnabi, misalnya dengan studi berdua-duan, kemudian pulang ke rumah berpimpin tangan, atau asal tertekan je mesti nak bergayut atau berchatting dengan kawan lelaki/perempuan anda.
Padahal Allah SWT kan sentiasa ada, sentiasa melindungi dan sentiasa menolong jika kita mencari dan meminta pada-Nya.
06.Jujur, amanah
" dan orang-orang yang memelihara amanah-amanah dan janjinya."[23:8]
Bukankah kita telah berjanji dengan pihak penaja dan ibu bapa kita untuk belajar bersungguh-sungguh? Lebih penting lagi, bukankah kita telah berjanji dengan Allah SWT untuk memanfaatkan peluang kehidupan sebagai seorang pelajar yang telah dipinjamkan-Nya kepada kita sebagai medan untuk kita mengutip ilmu, pengalaman dan pahala buat bekalan di akhirat sana?
Elakkan menipu ketika peperiksaan. Andai penjaga peperiksaan meminta kita berhenti menulis kerana masa sudah tamat, jangan pula kita terus menulis. Sebaliknya sebutlah "Bismillahi tawakkaltu 'ala Allahi wala haula wala quwwata illa billahil 'azim."
07.Tepati waktu
"dan orang-orang yang memelihara solatnya." [23:9]
Konsep yang boleh diambil dalam konteks kehidupan seorang pelajar Muslim ialah supaya sentiasa belajar dengan berdisiplin, menepati masa, tidak berlengah-lengah, menjaga kualiti dan produktiviti harian kita. Jika sebelum ini kita diingatkan supaya berhenti menulis apabila tamat masa peperiksaan, kita juga perlu memulakan perjuanganan kita dalam pelajaran dan peperiksaan seawal yang mungkin. Memelihara solat lima kali sehari setiap hari juga mengajar kita untuk tidak berputus asa atau berpatang arang di pertengahan jalan.
Namun janganlah kita hanya mengaplikasikan konsep-konsep ini untuk akademik semata-mata. Penekanan utama dalam ayat tersebut supaya kita menjaga hubungan kita dengan Allah SWT kerana kita akan kembali mengadap-Nya dengan amal-amal kita, bukan dengan berapa gulung ijazah yang berjaya kita perolehi. Belajar dan ijazah hanyalah alat untuk kita mencapai keredhaan Allah SWT dan merebut peluang mewarisi syurga-Nya.
" Mereka itulah orang-orang yang akan mewarisi. Iaitu yang akan mewarisi Syurga Firdaus. Mereka kekal didalamnya." [23:10,11]
" ....Maka di antara manusia ada yang berdoa: 'Ya Tuhan kami, berilah kami (kebaikan) di dunia.' Dan tiadalah baginya bahagian di akhirat."[2:200]
"Dan di antara mereka ada orang yang berdoa: Ya Tuhan kami, berilah kami kebaikan di dunia dan kebaikan di akhirat dan peliharalah kami dari seksa neraka." [2:201]
"Mereka itulah orang-orang yang mendapat bahagian dari apa yang mereka usahakan dan Allah sangat cepat perhitungannya." [2:202]

.: Things we should be doing, but don’t do :.



1. Start off each day with thanking Allah for waking up in good shape.

2. Put Allah first in your life.

3. Broaden your horizons – learn 5 new verses from the Quran every day, pray in the mosque to brighten your day, take up a booklet having supplications and read them.

4. Pray Salaat Al-dhuhaa (after sunrise).

5. If someone says something mean to you, just shrug it off and dismiss it in a friendly, laidback manner, and pray that Allah shall forgive them.

6. When you get angry, remember Allah, and how short and worthless life is to waste in being Angry.

7. Remember that you can never have too many friends, but you can have few quality friends that help you fulfill the purpose of your creation (i.e. live for Allah).

8. When you’re happy, try to share your happiness with others. Thank Allah for that, and pray its continuation.

9. When something bad or embarrassing happens to you, just think that it could always be worse, remember the reward of patience, and thank Allah that it’s not worse than it is.

10. Do something extra of goodness once in a while, like feeding a poor person, or caressing an orphan’s head.

11. Never stop believing that you can win Allah’s love and thus work For it. Then you can win the love of Allah’s slaves.

12. Spend some time thinking of Allah’s amazing creation.

13. Always love those who love Allah unconditionally. This way you will ensure that you live for Him, love for Him, and hate for Him, hate the sins and actions hated by Allah.

14. Find the righteous ways to express yourself, and if you think that what you are about to say shall cause no benefit, maintain silence (this is tough!!).

15. Every now and then, give yourself a break. Play sports, give time to your family, friends, but always remember Allah and remember that He is watching you.

16. Pray for blessing to come to those who are lost, and pray to Allah to guide them to the right path.

17. Hug your parents, kiss their hands and heads and always obey but stop at Allah’s orders.

18. Smile to everyone, for your smile makes a big difference to him or her and you are rewarded.

19. Forgive, forget and smile.

20. Tears are not for women only… tears are for all human beings with feelings remaining in them. Don’t restrain your tears when remembering Allah.

21. When people criticize your actions and effort, revise your actions and see if they please Allah or no. If they do; then ignore and remember how the Prophet (SAW) and the Sahaba were criticized, made fun of and even physically harmed, so have patience.

22. Read the Quran daily and try to have a schedule for completing it as much as you can. As you open the Quran daily, read with understanding not just passing your eyes through the words.

23. Don’t desire fame or popularity, for it never lasts and you may lose from it more than you may gain.

24. Never look down on anybody, for, to Allah, they may be better than you.

Why do we have to get married?



Have you ever wondered why Islam wants us to marry. This article will break down step by step the orders related to marriage and what are the ultimate benefits of marriage.

1. The Law of Allah

Marriage is one of the laws of Allah that he has established for our world. The law related to marriage is the law of creation in pairs. Allah reminds us in Surah Ath Thariyat Verse 49: “We have created all things in pairs, that perhaps you may remember”

Then those pairs are to be established islamically through Nikah (marriage contract). Allah tells us in Surah Al Nahl Verse 72: “Allah has given you spouses from yourselves, and has given you, from your spouses, children and grandchildren, and has provided you with good things for your sustenance.”

2. Islam Urges us to Marry

Allah has commanded us to help the believers to get married and to marry ourselves as well. Allah tells us in Surah An Nur Verse 32: “Marry the unmarried among you and the righteous of your male and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from his favors. Allah is bountiful and knowing.”

Prophet Muhammad SAW also told the young to get married when they can afford it as it wards of much evil and helps them guard their chastity. It is narrated in Muslim and Bukhari that the Messenger of Allah SAW Said: “Young men, those among you who can afford marriage should do so, for it helps lower the gaze and guard the private parts. And those who cannot afford it should fast, for fasting is a repression for him.”

3. The Promise of Allah

If anyone who wants to marry in order to protect himself from sinning then Allah has a promise for him/her. Abu Hurairah may Allah be pleased with him reported that the Prophet SAW said: “There are three individuals that it is a right upon Allah to help them: a fighter for Allah’s cause, a mukatib (a type of slave) who wants to pay himself off and one who seeks marriage for the purpose of preserving his chastity.”

4. Sunnah of the Prophets

It is the Sunnah of the prophets to marry and they did not practice celibacy. Allah tells us in Surah Ar Rad Verse 38: “And we have surely sent messengers before you and granted them wives and offspring”

Prophet Muhammad SAW is the perfect example for us to follow. He was married and he was harsh in his statements regarding the one who neglects marriage. Aisha may Allah be pleased with her reported that Messenger of Allah SAW said: ”Marriage is a Sunnah of mine; and whoever does not follow my Sunnah is not for my followers. Marry because I will display your outnumbering the other nations on Resurrection day. Whoever has wealth should marry, and whoever does not should fast, because fasting is a restraint for him”

5. Advantages of Marriage

  • Protecting one’s faith and religion
Anas may Allah be pleased with him reported the Prophet SAW said: “When Allah grants one a righteous wife, he has helped him to preserve half his religion. Let him then fear and revere Allah in regard to the other half”. It is clear that having a good partner will always try to save you from harms way, whether that is in this life or for the life in the hereafter. This creates a support system between the spouses and there is encouragement there from each other to do better and stay away from the bad.

  • Protecting ones chastity
Usamah bin Zayd may Allah be pleased with him reported that the Prophet SAW said: “I have not left after me a trail more harmful to men than women.” Men are easy targets for Shaytaan as women fire up the desires of men. Being married helps them to control their gaze and to tame their desires by having relations with their lawful spouse.

  • Enjoying the Emotions
Allah tells us in Surah Room Verse 21 “And among his signs is that He created for you, from yourselves, spouses that you may dwell unto them, and he set between you love and mercy; surely in that are signs for those who reflect.”
What a blessing Allah has blessed us with to have emotions and how we create emotions for each other of love and mercy. It is truly a sign of great magnitude as emotion is something that cannot be duplicated.

  • Pleasure has its own rewards
Abu Tharr may Allah be pleased with him reported that some companions complained to him saying “O Allah’s Messenger! The wealthy people have taken away all of the rewards. They pray as we do and fast as we do, and they give charities from their extra monies.” The Prophet SAW replied: “But has Allah not given you that which you may offer as Charity? Verily: Every Tasbih is a charity; Every Takbir is a charity; Evey Tahill is a charity; Every Tahmud is a charity; Commanding good is a charity; Forbidding evil is a charity; And having intercourse with your wife is a charity”

  • A lasting Relationship
This relationship is not only for this life but also for the hereafter as you will be spouses in the next life InshAllah. Abu Darda may Allah be pleased with him reported that the Messenger of Allah SAW said “Any woman whose husband dies and she marries after him, she will then be (in the hereafter) for the last one of her husbands”

  • Having Offspring
The act of reproduction is fulfilled according to the rules of Allah.

  • Building Kinship Ties
Not only do you have children now but in-laws, a spouse and InshAllah one day grandchildren and so on. You start to develop a family tree of your own which grows in front of your eyes. MashAllah what a supreme system that we over look from the bounties of our lord upon us.

  • Maintaining and improving the societies moral degeneration
We see the degeneration of moral values and the perversion of societies all around us due to the problem of marriage. Marriage and family life curbs many issues within our society. It is actually sad that not enough focus is put on this problem as it is the root for so many other ills in our societies.

  • Increasing the Number of Muslims
Abu Umamah may Allah be please with him reported that the Messenger of Allah SAW said: “Marry so that I will be delighted by your outnumbering other nations. Do not practice monasticism like the Christians.”

  • Strengthening the Muslim Community
Every benefit of marriage can turn into a negative if the sunnah of marriage is not preserved. The major problem that arises with not marrying is Zina. And Zina leads to breaking family relations, breaking ties of kinship, destroying the family system, leading many to homosexuality, spread of sexual diseases and other sexual deviant behavior. Eventually it leads to the downfall of the overall social and moral structure of society. By marrying we are strengthening our Community against all these evils.

10 Golden Quotes For A Muslim



1) When you see a person who has been given more than you in money and beauty, look to those, who have been given less.


2) A Muslim who meets with others and shares their burdens is better than one who lives a life of seclusion and contemplation.


3) It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is, better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words.


4) The best richness is the richness of the soul.


5) Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind.


6) He is not of us who is not affectionate to the little ones, and does not respect the old; and he is not of us, who does not order which is lawful, and prohibits that which is unlawful.


7) Much silence and a good disposition, there are no two things better than these.


8) Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.


9) The best of the houses is the house where an orphan gets love and kindness.





10) To overcome evil with good is good, to resist evil by evil is evil.

Kembali ~ Far East

 Wahai Tuhan yang Maha Pemurah
Terangilahku dengan Nur Iman-Mu
Hanya Engkau tempat aku berserah
Mohon maghfirah di dalam syahdu

Wahai Tuhan yang Maha Pengasih
Ampunilah segala dosaku
Laksana buih di laut memutih
Hanyut ditelan gelombang nafsu

Hari-hari yang telah aku lalui
Ingin kutinggalkan terus bersemadi

Ingin aku kembali kepada fitrah insani
Tak sanggupku jelajahi rimba duniawi
Bebaskanlah diriku dari dibelenggu
Dosa noda nafsu durjana

Terimalah taubatku Ya Allah
Pimpinlah daku ke jalan redha-Mu
Moga sinar-Mu terangi hidupku
Di dalam kegelapan

Akukan kembali pada-Mu Rabbi
Mengadap-Mu Ya Rabbul Izzati
Segala ketentuanku pasrahkan
Di hujung penghayatan
