Jihad Melawan Nafsu

Jihad Melawan Diri dan Hawa Nafsu (Keinginan dan dorongan hati)

Daripada Abi Zar (RA) berkata: Rasulullah (SAW) telah bersabda:
Ertinya: Sebaik-baik jihad ialah jihad seorang lelaki melawan diri dan nafsunya. Diriwayatkan oleh Ibn al-Najjar dan diriwayatkan juga oleh Abu Nua’im dan al-Dailami dengan lafaz: Sebaik-baik jihad bahawa kamu melawan diri kamu dan (tuntutan) hawa nafsu kamu dalam melaksanakan hak-hak Allah.*

*Iaitu dengan menahannya dari mengikut kehendak syahwat dan menghalangnya dari terus tenggelam dalam kelazatan (dunia) dan sentiasa melakukan suruhan-suruhan dan menjauhkan diri dari segala larangan. Ini adalah merupakan jihad yang terbesar dan hawa nafsu adalah merupakan sebesar-besar musuh kamu. Dan diri kamu adalah merupakan musuh kamu yang terdekat. Sila lihat Faidh al-Qadir, jld:2, m.s.31.


Dan daripada Ibn Umar (RA) berkata: Telah bersabda Rasulullah (SAW):
Ertinya: Sebaik-baik Islam seorang mukmin ialah sesiapa yang menyelamatkan muslimin yang lain dari (kejahatan) lidah dan tangannya, dan sebaik-baik Iman seorang mukmin ialah yang paling baik tingkah lakunya, dan sebaik-baik muhajirin ialah sesiapa yang berhijrah meninggalkan perkara-perkara yang dilarang Allah dari mengerjakannya, dan sebaik-baik jihad ialah sesiapa yang berjihad melawan dirinya dalam melaksanakan hak-hak Allah Azzawajalla**. Diriwayat oleh al-Tabrani.

**Mujahadah (melawan) tuntutan diri adalah lebih baik dari jihad melawan orang kafir, munafik dan orang yang jahat kerana setiap sesuatu dilebihkan dan dimuliakan dengan mulianya hasil yang diperolehi dan hasil melawan tuntutan hawa nafsu ialah mendapat hidayah.

Rope of Allah

“And Hold firmly on to the rope of Allaah, united, and do not cause dissension amongst yourselves. And remember Allaah’s favour upon you when you were enemies then Allah created a bond between your hearts thus through His bounty you became brothers.
And you were at the edge of the pit of Hell so Allaah saved you from it. In this was Allaah explains his laws to you that you may remain on the straight path.”
[Surah Ali-Imran]

Lessons:
The following points are noted in the light of the above ayat:
1. Unity is a command of Allaah.
2. Disunity is forbidden.
3. Unity and brotherhood are great gifts of Allaah.
4. Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Masud (RA) reports that the rope of Allaah is the book of Allaah, which is suspended between the sky and the earth.
5. The method of achieving unity is that all should join hands in practicing upon the book of Allaah i.e. the Qur’aan. The obvious result of this is that all Muslims will become united, like a group of people holding a rope become like one body. Thus, if all Muslims were to hold firmly on to this rope, then the structure of Islam will automatically become uniform as was witnessed in the first era of Islamic history.
6. Just as practicing consistently upon the Qur’aan is the only cause of unity, not practicing upon the Qur’aan is the cause of disunity.

Actions are but by intention

Amiril Mu'minin Abi Hafsin Umar ibni al-Khattab (RA) narrates from Rasul (SAW) that: "Actions are (judged) but by the intention (which has motivated that action); and every man shall have (only) that which he intended. Thus he whose (object of) migration (Hijrat) was Allah and His Rasul (SAW), his migration was (truly) for Allah and His Rasul (SAW); and he whose migration was (to achieve some) worldly benefit or to take some women in marriage, then his (object of) migration was that for which he migrated." [Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim]

The Ulema and Muhad’ditheen of yester-year commenced their works with this hadith, so that before proceeding, teacher and pupil cold check and rectify their intentions. Hence Imaam Bukhaari and Waliy-yud-deen bin Muhammed Abdullah Al-Khateeb-At-Tabrezi (Saheeb-e-Mishkaat) have both commenced their famous compilations with this hadith. Both have accorded such importance to this hadith that they have placed and discussed it first, independent of any other chapter.

Muhaddith Abdur Rahman bin Muhammed Mahdi (Rahmatullah alaih) says that every author should commence his book with this hadith.
