********************

we've been dreaming for an iktikaf at Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (Masjid Shah Alam) since ever. but the previous Ramadhan, we were not assembled here, as Abiy were in Miri in 2006 and I was in KB in 2007. this year, we perform our puasa Ramadhan in KL. so, Abiy told me about iktikaf during the final nights of Ramadhan, all of us. we asked the people in the house, Tok Ma, Aunty Fatin, Uncle Muhd and not forgetting the one and only Bibik, and all of them interested to join.

we chose 27th Ramadhan, since it is the beginning of weekend and concurrent with Malam Tujuh Likur.

after tarawikh at Masjid Damansara Damai, we went to UM to fetch Aunty Fatin and straight to Shah Alam.

we just brought things such as telekung & al-Quran, with gebar & kasur to rest. for Hafiy i brought a pillow, a sweater, a blanket, diapers, a bottle of plain water, a bottle of milk (in case he needs milk & my letdown is nil, i can use the bottle), socks and books.

alhamdulillah, Hafiy slept like a log as we reached the masjid, gave me time to recite al-Quran. at about 1am, we slept and woke up at 3am to perform solat sunat. at around 4am, the masjid buat solat sunat tahajud, taubat & hajat berjemaah.

this time Hafiy woke up, and as usual, i prayed while carrying him. he was a bit cranky in the morning cos all his friends were still in deep sleep. oh why lah other babies can sleep very soundly despite the noise but my baby ni terus nak bangun... and Hafiy went back to sleep after the jemaah finished until Subuh.

we ate sahur, performed Subuh and went back home.

this is my very first experience spending a night in a masjid with my family and babies. i feel so good after doing it, even if get not enough sleep but we manage to do solat sunat, the thing that is very unlikely to perform at home, as Hafiy will wake up everytime i open my eyes after midnite. and the panggilan tilam calls me to re-sleep while making him sleep.

oh ya, a friend of mine once told, it's not good for a lady to spend time in masjid, as Rasulullah 'melarang' wanita ke masjid. i asked about the dalil, she said there's a hadis mentioning about solat wanita di rumah adalah lebih baik dan keluar ke masjid menjadi fitnah kepada wanita2 Islam. however, i told her (from my narrow knowledge), there lots of hadis about keutamaan wanita ke masjid such as : "janganlah kamu melarang kaum wanita pergi ke masjid" (HR Bukhari), "jika isteri kamu meminta untuk ke masjid, maka janganlah melarangnya" (HR Bukhari & Muslim). dan banyak kisah tentang wanita2 menyertai aktiviti di masjid.

and about the hadis tentang solat di rumah lebih baik, actually it is more than that. the full hadis is "janganlah kamu melarang wanita2 ke masjid, dan solat di rumah adalah lebih baik" (HR Abu Daud).

from my opinion, jika pergi ke masjid menjadi fitnah kepada wanita, kenapa kita tak melarang diri kita (wanita) & wanita2 lain melakukan aktiviti lain seperti pegi sekolah, pegi kerja, malah berekreasi yang bercampur langsung dengan lelaki? kenapa wanita tak dilarang pegi bershupping di super ke hypermarket yang terang2 musim perayaan ni penuh dengan umat, tapi dilarang pula ke rumah Allah? kenapa wanita Islam dilarang ke masjid sedangkan wanita Kristian bole saja pegi ke gereja? adakah duduk di rumah & berborak kosong, tengok TV, berjaga buat kuih raya, etc. adalah lebih baik dari berada di masjid? kenapa banyak sangat pantang larang wanita Islam kalau nak jadi hamba yang baik? (ada orang cakap menyusu lebih 2 tahun pun Islam kata tak boleh!)

from Yusuf al-Qadrawi, menurutnya solat wanita lebih baik di rumah sekiranya jika dia ke masjid, tujuannya hanya untuk jemaah dan bukan untuk beriktikaf, dengar ceramah, belajar, dengar bacaan al-Quran,bersilaturrahim, berdakwah, etc. maknanya kalau sekadar mahu solat saja, lebih baiklah solat di rumahnya, tetapi jika ada benefit2 lain, maka harus untuk seseorang wanita itu ke masjid. malah Imam Syafie menyarankan wanita2 ke masjid kerana ayat2 dalam al-Quran secara generalnya menyuruh semua orang ke masjid, tak kira lelaki atau wanita.

walaubagaimanapun, tujuan ke masjid mestilah betul benar dan mendapat keizinan suami, however, dari hadis2 di atas, sewajarnya suami izinkanlah isteri ke masjid. dan jadikanler motivasi untuk semua ke masjid juga bila isteri mengajak...

akhirul kalam,

SELAMAT MENGAKHIRI RAMADHAN al-MUBARAK,
SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI FITRAH,
& MAAF ZAHIR BATIN DARI KAMI SEKELUARGA.
