إن الحمد لله، نحمدُه ونستعينُه
ونستغفرُه وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ،
ونعوذُ باللهِ من شرورِ أنفسنا،
وسيئات أعمالنا،
من يهدِه الله فلا مضلَّ له،
ومن يضلِلْ فلا هادي له،
وأشهدُ أنْ لا إله إلا الله
وحده لا شريكَ له،
وأشهدُ أن محمداً عبده ورسوله. لا نبي معده.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ
وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا
وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ.
فإن أصدق الحديث كتابُ الله،
وخيرَ الهدي هديُ محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم،
وشرَّ الأمورِ محدثاتُها،
وكلَّ محدثة بدعةٌ، وكلَّ بدعة ضلالةٌ،
وكلَّ ضلالة في النار.
معاشر المسلمين،
أًوصيكم ونفسي بتقوى الله، فقد فاز المتقون
Veryly, among the signs
of Allah SWT's greatness...
Allah sends us rain.
Pouring the Earth and humankind.
There are many verses talking
about rain in the Quran.
Sometimes, Allah said that rainwater
is for us to purify.
وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً
طَهُورًا
"We send down from the sky
pure water."
And Allah alsa says that rain is also
provision. Allah SWT said
رزقا للعباد
"As provision for the servants,."
هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً ۖ
لَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَرَابٌ
يُنْبِتُ لَكُمْ بِهِ الزَّرْعَ
وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالْأَعْنَابَ
وَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Allah SWT said: "It is He who sends down
rain from the sky."
...from it is drink for you"
"And from it is foliage."
"In which you pasture [animals]."
"He causes to grow...
...for you thereby the crops...
...olives, palm trees, grapevines...
...and from all the fruits."
And Allah said "Indeed in that is a
sign...
...for people who give thought."
Indeed, there are many benefits
we can get from rain.
And Allah asks us, His servants,
to give a thought...
...on the lessons we can get
from the rain.
That is why Allah said:
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
"Indeed in that is a
sign...
...for people who give thought."
In another verse, Allah SWT said:
لآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
"Indeed in that are signs...
...for a people who use reason."
Therefore, if one wants to be praised
by Allah SWT...
...one shall give a thought...
...on the greatness of Allah SWT
in one of His creaturs...
...rain.
Today...
...I would like to talk about three things.
The lessons we get from rain
that Allah asks us to have a thought on.
Among many things about rain.
These three matters are mentioned
in Surah Al Hajj.
Allah SWT said:
وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً
فَإِذَا أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ
اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ
وَأَنْبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ
بَهِيجٍ
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ
وَأَنَّهُ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ
وَأَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لَا رَيْبَ
فِيهَا
وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي
الْقُبُورِ
Allah SWT said:
"And you see the earth barren."
"But when We send down upon it rain...
"It quivers and swells and grows
[something] of every beautiful kind."
It grows because of the rain
that Allah sends to the Earth.
Allah SWT said:
"That is because Allah is the Truth."
He is the only One to be worshiped.
"And He gives life to the dead."
وَأَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And the third is that Allah
is over all things competent.
"And [that they may know] that the Hour
is coming - no doubt about it."
"And that Allah will resurrect
those in the graves."
In these verses, Allah mentions about
three functions of rain to be thought of.
First, Allah said:
وَأَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Allah is over all things competent.
Look at the rain, amazing creation.
Look how Allah creates rain.
لَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُزْجِي سَحَابًا
مَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ
رُكَامًا
فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَالِهِ
وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ جِبَالٍ
"Do you not see that Allah drives clouds?"
"Then He brings them together...
...then He makes them into a mass."
"mountains [of clouds]."
When we are on a plane, we can see
very thick clouds.
So thick that it looks like mountains.
And Allah sends rain from these clouds.
Of which the amount is as Allah wills.
On a place where Allah wills.
And Allah sends rain of which the water
has no taste.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said:
أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي تَشْرَبُونَ
أَأَنْتُمْ أَنْزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ الْمُزْنِ
الْمُنْزِلُونَ أَمْ نَحْنُ
لَوْ نَشَاءُ جَعَلْنَاهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا
تَشْكُرُونَ
"And have you seen the water
that you drink?"
"Is it you who brought it down
from the clouds, or is it We?"
"If We willed, We could make it bitter."
"So why are you not grateful
to Allah SWT?"
Rainwater is plain,
if it is salty, we are doomed.
And rain pours in form of granules.
Not in the amount of
lake water pouring on Earth.
Otherwise, we are doomed.
All runs at the will of Allah SWT.
And the only one who can do this
is Allah SWT.
وَأَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
"Allah is over all things competent."
The second function that Allah mentions
in All Hajj about the rain.
Rain reminds us that there will be
Ressurection Day.
Allah SWT said:
وَأَنَّهُ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ
"That Allah SWT, He gives life
to the dead."
Allah SWT mentioned.
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً مُّبَارَكاً
فَأَنبَتْنَا بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ
وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ
رِزْقًا لِلْعِبَادِ ۖ وَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ
بَلْدَةً مَيْتًا ۚ
كَذَٰلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ
"We send down rain."
And Allah SWT said...
"As provisions for His servants."
And Allah SWT said at the end of the verse.
كَذَٰلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ
"Thus is the resurrection."
And Allah SWT also said:
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ
بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا
ثِقَالًا سُقْنَاهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ
فَأَنْزَلْنَا بِهِ الْمَاءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ
مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ
كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ
تَذَكَّرُونَ
"And it is Allah SWT who sends...
...the winds as good tidings before His
mercy.
And Allah sends down from the sky
pure water, and grows corps.
Allah SWT said at the end of the verse...
كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ الْمَوْتَىٰ
"Thus will We bring forth the dead"
"Perhaps you may be reminded.."
With the rain, we see that
the dry Earth...
...revives suddenly.
To remind us that...
We are alive now, and will die.
And we will be ressurected
by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Allah said:
وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ
مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ
"And [that they may know] that
the Hour is coming - no doubt about it
"And that Allah will resurrect
those in the graves."
To be accountable of what they have done
during their life.
To be accountable of what they have seen.
What they have heard,
what they have said.
What they have commented.
All will be accountable
in front of Allah SWT.
أقول قولي هذا
واستغفر الله لي ولكم ولسائر المسلمين
من ذنب وخطيئة
فأستغفره إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
الحمد لله على إحسانه،
والشكر له على توفيقه وامتنانه،
وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله
وحده لا شريك له تعظيما لشأنه،
وأشهد أن محمدا عبده
ورسوله الداعي إلى رضوانه،
أللهم صلي عليه وعل أله وأصحابه وإخوانه
Among other important functions
for us...
...when we think about the rain...
...is that we realize that...
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ
Allah is the Truth.
He is the only One who has the right
to be worshipped.
While others than Allah
have no right to be worshipped.
The only one to be worshipped
is the One who regulates rain.
Who sends rain, who stops rain.
He is the only who can send
all of those.
Therefore, after Allah mentions
about rain...
Allah said
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ
It is because Allah is the Truth.
The only Truth to be worshiped.
In Surah Al Baqarah, Allah said:
وإلهكم إله واحد لا اله الا هو الرحمن الرحيم
"And your god...
...is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala."
"One God."
"The Entirely Merciful,
the Especially Merciful."
Allah mentions His argument, saying...
إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضِ
وما أنزلنا من السماء من ماء
"And what Allah sends,
rain from the sky...
...is the sign that He is the One God."
The only One who has the right
to be worshiped.
And at the end of the verse,
Allah said:
لآيات لقوم يعقلون
These are the signs of Allah's greatness...
...for people who use reasons.
So, if Allah wills...
...Allah can make the rain as a blessing.
And Allah can make it as a punishment.
As what Allah did for the people of Noah.
Allah SWT said:
فَفَتَحْنَاأَبْوَابَالسَّمَاءبِمَاء
مُّنْهَمِرٍ
"Then We opened the gates of the heaven."
"with rain pouring down."
To destroy the people of Noah.
Because they denied Allah SWT.
And if Allah willed, Allah would not
send water from the sky.
But He would send down stones.
To people who commit sins to Allah SWT.
As what Allah did to the Lot's people,
to whom He sent down stones.
Allah SWT said:
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَطَرًا ۖ
فَسَاءَ مَطَرُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ
"And We rained upon them
a rain [of stones]."
"And evil was the rain of those
who were warned."
So, when we see rain pouring hard...
...we shall remember, the only One to be
worshiped is the one who sends this rain.
And if there is no rain, we shall
ask Allah SWT.
As did our brothers in Riau.
In Pekanbaru.
They had not had rain for a long time.
Meanwhile, smokes still bothered them.
They did Istisqaa prayer.
Afterward, rain fell in the afternoon,
continuously.
Only Allah is capable to send this.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ
يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ
يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ

إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ،
وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ
مُحَمَّدٍ،

آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
وَالْمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ
الأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَاْلأَمْوَاتِ
إِنَّكَ سَمِيْعٌ قَرِيْبٌ مُجِيْبُ
الدَّعَوَاتِ
وَيَاقَاضِيَ
الْحَاجَاتْ
اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نُفُوْسَنَا تَقْوَاهَا
وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا
أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا
اللَّهُمَّ إنِّا نسْألُكَ الهُدَى ،
والتُّقَى
اللَّهُمَّ إنِّا نسْألُكَ الهُدَى
وَالسَّدَادَ
اللَّهُمَّ إنِّا نسْألُكَ الهُدَى
وَالسَّدَادَ
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً
وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً
وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ،
