KEISTIMEWAAN
MEMASUKI BULAN SAFAR
FIRST SERMON
Assalamu'alaikum warhmatullahi
wabarakatuh..
Alhamdulillah, all praise and
thanks be to Allah SWT, because with His blessings and guidance, we can again
gather at the congregational sermon and Friday prayer assembly, September 2,
2022.
Not to forget, salawat and
greetings are always poured out to our lord Prophet Muhammad Shalallahu 'alaihi
wasallam, the last chosen human prophet created by Allah SWT.
Also accompanied by prayers for
the family of the Messenger of Allah, his companions and followers who follow
him until the end of time.
muslims, may Allah be pleased
with you,
Soon we will enter the month of
Safar Hijri calendar 1444 Hijri. In the tradition of ignorance, the month of
safar is considered a month of bad luck or tasyaum.
At that time, the month of Safar
was believed by ignorant people to have many evils, so this caused them to be
afraid to do certain activities or things.
And until now, the notion that
the month of Safar is an unlucky month is still developing today.
Whereas if we humans who believe
must be sure that this month of Safar is the same as other months, which is not
affected by bad luck or bad luck.
So, if in the month of traveling
we get bad or unlucky events, of course not because of the month, but simply
because of other factors, so if we get good things in it, it is all
predetermined by Allah, not because of the moon factor.
Rasulullah SAW said:
“There is no 'adwa, thiyarah,
hamah and shafar (which are considered to bring bad luck). And flee from people
who have leprosy as you run away from a lion." (Narrated by Bukhari and
Muslim).
Quoted from the NU Online page,
the fear about the 4 things mentioned means that 'adwa is a belief about an
infectious disease outbreak, where people are afraid by themselves, without any
prior process and without Allah's permission.
Then thiyarah is about good and
bad luck which is determined after seeing the bird.
This myth developed in ignorant
society which states, if someone sees a bird flying on his right when he leaves
the house, then it is likely that he will get good luck in the near future.
On the other hand, if what he
sees is a bird flying on his left when he leaves the house, then bad luck will
come for him, so it is better for him to go home than having to carry out
activities that day.
While the term hamah is a kind of
assumption when an owl perches on the house of the ignorant at that time, then
this is a sign that bad luck will approach the owner of the house.
Likewise with shafar which is
believed to be a special time that can wreak havoc.
Ladies and gentlemen of Friday
congregation, may Allah bless you,
Islam does not recognize unlucky
days or unlucky months, because all days are good. Muslims must believe that if
there is a good influence or a bad influence, all will not be able to happen
without the permission of Allah SWT.
Likewise with the month of Safar
which is part of the twelve months of the Hijri year.
Safar is the second month in the
Qamariyah calendar, located after Muharram and before the month of Rabiul
Awwal.
If we want to receive benefits
and gain privileges in this month, then we as God's creatures must remain
obedient and do more daily practices as usual, including sunnah practices.
The following are the worships
that we can do in the month of Safar which we also commonly do in other months:
1. Sunnah fasting Monday-Thursday
and fasting Ayyamul Bidh
Sunnah fasting that can be done
is fasting Monday-Thursday and fasting Ayyamul Bidh.
Carrying out fasting
Monday-Thursday, has virtues and privileges, because this fast is done directly
by the Prophet Muhammad.
Narrated by Abu Hurairah:
"That the Prophet Muhammad
often fasted on Mondays and Thursdays. The deeds of humans are proposed to
Allah every Monday and Thursday, so I am happy if my practice (on that day) and
I fast on that day." (H.R. Ahmad).
From this hadith it can be
concluded that on these two days, one's deeds will be proposed by angels to
Allah. Therefore, the Prophet chose to fast on those important days
While Ayyamul Bidh fasting is a
sunnah fasting that is recommended to be done every mid-month based on the
hijri calendar, namely on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar calendar.
Fasting Ayyamul Bidh every month
will get the same reward as those who fast throughout the year.
Prophet Muhammad SAW said:
"Fasting on three days of each month is like fasting throughout the
year," (H.R. Bukhari).
2. Alms Jariyah
As quoted on the Ministry of
Religion website, alms Jariyah is a practice that will continue to flow rewards
to us even after we die.
In the Qur'an, the word alms is
also referred to by other terms such as shidqah, shodaqoh which means it can be
a gift or it can also be interpreted as qardhul hasan (good loan).
By giving charity, then Allah,
the Most Rich, will return the loan and of course the return has a double
value.
While jariyah has the meaning of
flowing which means the reward flows and will not be interrupted. It is for
this reason that alms Jariyah is called a charity that has uninterrupted
rewards and rewards.
3. Increase Istighfar
Someone who is istighfar means he
acknowledges the existence of slavery before Allah SWT.
There are many virtues that can
be obtained when we always make istighfar every time, this is like the words of
the Prophet Muhammad which means:
"Whoever reproduces
Istighfar (beg forgiveness of Allah), Allah will surely make for every sadness
a way out, and for every narrowness of space, and Allah will provide him with
sustenance (halal) from an unexpected direction" (Narrated by Abu Dawud).
Another virtue of istighfar is
that Allah will grant the prayers of his servants.
Wallahu'alam
Ladies and gentlemen of the
Friday congregation, may Allah be pleased with you,
Thus the Friday sermon this time,
hopefully we can all take lessons from what is conveyed and always receive
Allah's instructions to be on His way.
