CASE:Bro Faiz (Ipoh)

Brother Faiz and family lives in Rumah Pangsa Taman Harmoni, Buntong (in Ipoh). He is 42 years old, converted for about ten years now and currently unemployed. He’s a student of Ustaz Ali Chin for many years now.

from left, Mohd Al-Hafiz, Ustaz Ali Chin, Brother Faiz’s wife (Fadzilah) and son, Brother Faiz and daughter.

He has two kids, a son and a daughter (both less than two years old). Now he depends on odd jobs such as being a part time security guard / body guard or repair motorcycles for income, which is not enough to support his wife and kids.

Rumah Pangsa Taman Harmoni is under Dewan Bandaraya Ipoh, and he has to pay RM124 every month as rental. At the moment he has a debt of RM248 as he can't pay the rental for two months.

He has no transportation as the bank had repossessed his car. In case of emergency, he has to borrow vehicle (car or motorcycle) from neighbours or friends but only for a while. Recently, both his son and daughter had fever and he had no choice but to borrow a car from his neighbour to go to the hospital at 1.00am.

His friend has given him a job which involve cutting down trees and cleaning the aftermath for a piece of land. Unfortunately he has no chainsaw for the job. A reliable chainsaw is about RM800 but he has no money to buy the chainsaw.

Brother Faiz went to Jabatan Agama Islam, Baitulmal and Perkim for help but all of them said they had no money. Ustaz Ali Chin also went to all the offices to request for help for Brother Faiz but unfortunately he received the same reply, "no money".

With this job, Brother Faiz will be able to stand on his feet once again to earn money for the family.

“It would be better to teach me how to fish, rather than giving me a fish for the day”, he said, as Baitulmal offers RM50 for him when he visited the office. For some people, RM50 is better than nothing but the problem is people will keep coming back to Baitulmal for more (give them a fish for the day, so they will keep coming back for more fish).

We managed to raise some fund, which we presented to Brother Faiz on 3rd October 2011.

Please help support people like Brother Faiz. Brother Faiz is just one of the many cases we received. They need all the help they can get, morally and financially.

TERJEMAHAN TEKS WASIAT SYAIKH AL-ALBANI

Wasiatku

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Aku wasiatkan kepada isteri dan putra-putriku, teman-teman dan siapa saja yang mencintaiku:

1. Jika sampai kepadanya berita kematianku, hendaklah yang pertama dilakukannya, memanjatkan do'a (kepada Allah جل جلا له.^Pent) agar aku diampuni dan dirahmati. Jangan tangisi atas kematianku dengan cara niyahah (meratapi) dan mengeraskan suara.

2. Hendaklah segera menguburkanku dan jangan beritakan kepada kerabat serta saudara-saudaraku terkecuali setelah melaksanakan apa yang menjadi kewajiban mereka dalam mempersiapkan jenazahku. Hendaklah saudara Izat Khidlir Abu 'Abdillah (tetangga dan temanku yang ikhlas), memimpin pemandian jenazahku bersama orang-orang yang ditunjuk untuk membantu­nya.

3. Aku memilih dikuburkan di pekuburan yang terdekat (dari rumah kematianku ^Pent), agar tidak memaksakan para pelayat yang membawa jenazahku untuk meletakkannya di sebuah mobil, yang tentunya para pengantarpun akan mengendarai kendaraan mereka mengiringi jenazahku. Hendaklah aku di­kuburkan di pekuburan lama yang diyakini tidak akan ada pembongkaran.

Bagi mereka yang berada di negeri tempat wafatku, agar tidak menyampaikan berita kematianku kepada putra-putriku yang berada di luar negeri apalagi kepada selain mereka, terkecuali se­telah jenazahku diantarkan ke pemakaman. (Hal ini saya maksudkan) agar mereka tidak dikuasai oleh luapan perasaan yang dapat mendorong mereka untuk berbuat apa saja, sehingga menyebab­kan tertundanya pemakaman jenazahku.

Aku mohon kepada Allah جل جلا له agar berjumpa dengan-Nya, dalam keadaan dosa-dosaku telah diampuni-Nya baik yang ter­dahulu maupun yang kemudian.

Demikian pula, aku wasiatkan seluruh isi perpustakaanku agar diserahkan kepada perpustakaan Universitas Islam Madinah al-Munawwarah, baik berupa kitab yang telah dicetak, foto copy, manuskrip yang kutulis dengan tanganku atau ditulis oleh orang selainku, (hal ini kulakukan ^-Pent) karena ketika menjadi dosen di-sana, aku memiliki kenangan dan kesan-kesan indah tatkala ber­dakwah mengajak manusia kepada al-Qur'an dan as-Sunnah sesuai dengan manhaj Salafush Shalih.

Dengan demikian aku berharap semoga dapat memberi manfaat kepada pengunjungnya sebagaimana pemiliknya pada saat itu, telah memberi manfaat kepada para mahasiswanya, dan semoga dengan keikhlasan dan do'a mereka akan bermafaat bagiku.

رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحاً تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

"Ya Rabbku tunjukilah aku untuk mensyukuri nikmat-Mu yang telah Engkau berikan kepadaku dan kepada ibu bapakku dan agar aku dapat melakukan amal shaleh yang Engkau ridhai serta berikanlah kebaikan kepadaku dengan (memberi kebaikan) kepada anak cucuku. Sesungguhnya aku bertaubat kepada-Mu dan sesungguhnya aku termasuk orang-orang yang berserah diri." (QS. Al-Ahqaaf: 15^-Pent).
