The Call of Prayer..

ADAB MENDENGAR AZAN

Death is imminent. Only the exact time is unknown. Let us scrutinise why the people who are experiencing the near death unable to say anything. The tongue is tied, speechless; only the facial expression shows some 'struggling' with 'sakaratul maut'. The sermon which I happened to listen to last friday told that 'sakaratul maut' has ways to either subtly or aggressively take the soul out of a body. The most delicate way still felt like your skin is being peeled off without any anesthetics given. Go figure!!

Diriwayatkan sebuah hadis yg bermaksud: 'Hendaklah
Kamu mendiamkan diri ketika azan, jika tidak Allah
Akan kelukan lidahnya ketika maut menghampirinya. '

This proves that we are recommended to keep quiet during the call of prayer (azan). As Muslims, we are obliged to pay our respect. If during 'Negaraku' we stand straight, stay put n be quiet, why can't we do the same for 'azan'?

Those who hear 'azan', by right they should go and congregate and for those who can't, at least show some respect. Therefore, those who do not respect the call of prayer, Allah will 'lock' the tongue when they are experiencing near death. As a result, they can't pronounce the syahada' (kalimah 'Lailahaillallah. . ')

Sesiapa yang dapat mengucapkan kalimah ini ketika
Nyawanya akan dicabut Allah dgn izinNya menjanjikan
Syurga untuk mereka. Dari itu marilah kita sama-sama
menghormati azan dan mohon kepada Allah supaya lidah
ini tidak kelu semasa nyawa kita sedang dicabut.

' Ya Allah! Anugerahkanlah kematian kami dengan kematian
yang baik lagi mulia, lancarkan lidah kami mengucap kalimah ' Lailahaillallah. . '
semasa sakaratul maut menghampiri kami.. Amin... amin.. amin Yarobbala ' lamin.. . '
