LYRICS Maher Zain - The Chosen One


LYRICS Maher Zain - The Chosen One | ماهر زين - المختار


In a time of darkness and greed
It is your light that we need
You came to teach us how to live
Muhammad Ya Rasool Allah

You were so caring and kind
Your soul was full of light
You are the best of mankind
Muhammad Khaira Khalqillah
Sallu ‘ala Rasulillah, Habib Al Mustafa
Peace be upon The Messenger
The Chosen One

From luxury you turned away
And all night you would pray
Truthful in every word you say
Muhammad Ya Rasul Allah

Your face was brighter than the sun
Your beauty equaled by none
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]

You are Allah's Chosen One
Muhammad Khaira Khalqillah
Sallu ‘ala Rasulillah, Habib Al Mustafa
Peace be upon The Messenger
The Chosen One

I will try to follow your way
And do my best to live my life
As you taught me
I pray to be close to you

On that day and see you smile
When you see me
Sallu ‘ala Rasulillah, Habibil Mustafa
Peace be upon The Messenger
The Chosen One

Sallu ‘ala Rasulillah, Habibi Mustafa
Peace be upon The Messenger
The Chosen One

Harvard university has once again topped the Times Higher Education's world reputation ranking of universities. The 2013 rankings, show the US dominating the list with more than 40 institutions in the top 100.
Following Harvard are Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Cambridge university, taking second and third place respectively. Oxford university has climbed two places since the 2012 rankings, to take fourth place and Stanford university has dropped down to sixth.
The rankings also highlight a big improvement for Australia which now has six universities represented in the top 100 - the third highest representation in the list behind the US and the UK. Australia has two new entries: the university of New South Wales and Monash university.
With nine universities in the top 100, the UK has the second highest number of representatives after the US. University College London (UCL) has moved up one place to 20th and the London School of Economics (LSE) has jumped up to 25th in the latest rankings. Manchester university has entered the top 50 for the first time and Edinburgh university, the only Scottish institution in the list, has moved up three places to 46th place. It's not such good news for Leeds university though, the university has dropped out of the top 100 since the 2012 rankings placed them within the 81-90 band.
Overall, the UK's representation in the top 100 has declined since 2011. Phil Baty, rankings editor at Times Higher Education magazine, said:
There is some good news for the UK, but only for a handful of its elite institutions. Outside the chosen few, there is cause for alarm: the UK has lost three institutions from the world top 100 list since the reputation rankings were first published in 2011.
Traditionally, the strength in depth of the UK system has been one of its great features. Having a large number of institutions with truly world-class standing has delivered huge returns for the whole sector and the wider economy. However, it now seems that a gap is opening up between the very best and the rest, with even household name institutions like Sheffield and Leeds losing their lustre and falling down the rankings.
In total, 20 countries are represented in the list. The chart above shows the rankings broken down by country for 2012 and 2013.
The visualisation below shows how 2013's top 25 institutions by reputation have switched positions since the 2011 edition of this report. Harvard, MIT and Cambridge have been first, second and third respectively every year, while LSE, UCLA and Columbia University (NY) have seen the largest rises over that period.
The annual world reputation rankings, a subsidiary of the Times Higher Education world university rankings, are based based on the results of the Academic Reputation Survey carried out by Ipsos MediaCT for Thomson Reuters. The full methodology for the rankings along with the individual scores by university can be found on the Times Higher Education site.
The latest release by Times Higher Education ranking brings to attention a group that the university ranking specialists have dubbed the 'super-brands' - a collection of elite Anglo-American universities making up the top six. According to the latest release the 'super-brands', headed by Harvard and including MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University are "heads and shoulders above the rest". Here are some other findings from the release:
• Five countries are represented in the top 20: the US, UK, Japan, Canada and Switzerland
• The University of Tokyo at 9th place, is the highest ranking university outside of the UK or US
• Six countries (compared with only four last year) have one representative in the top 100: Brazil, Taiwan, Belgium, Israel, Russia and Turkey
• Japan, the Netherlands and Germany each have five top 100 institutions, with Germany gaining a new entrant in 2013 (Freie Universität Berlin)

2013 Undergraduate Student Funding


Student finance applications have now opened for the 2013/14 academic year for students from England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Please visit the relevant webpage for details of how to apply.

http://www.ox.ac.uk#We are committed to ensuring students from the UK and EU understand the costs and funding for them if they choose to apply to the University of Oxford.
While many universities are offering either reduced fees or bursaries in 2013, Oxford will be providing both.

Oxford fee reductions

The tuition fee for one year of undergraduate study for UK/EU students studying for their first degree from 2013 is between £3,500 and £9,000 in the first year and between £6,000 and £9,000 in further years, depending on household income.
UK/EU students do not have to pay any tuition fees upfront.
All UK/EU undergraduate students who are liable for the full £9,000 tuition fee and whose household income is less than £25,000 will receive a reduction in their tuition fee*.
Household IncomeFee in first yearFee after first year
£0 - £16,000£3,500£6,000
£16,001 - £20,000£7,000£7,000
£20,001 - £25,000£8,000£8,000
£25,001 +£9,000£9,000
*Welsh students are able to access a tuition fee grant from the Welsh Assembly for £5,425, reducing their tuition fee loan to £3,575. They are not therefore eligible for an Oxford Fee Reduction.

Oxford bursary support

All UK/EU undergraduate students whose household income is less than £42,612 will receive an Oxford bursary to help them with their living costs at Oxford. The bandings below show the annual bursaries available from Oxford, dependent upon household income before tax.
Household income Bursary Additional start-up bursary

£16,000 or less £3,300£1,000
£16,001 -  £20,000 £3,000

£35,001 -  £40,000 £1,000
£40,001 -  £42,611£500
£42,612 and above £0£0 


Government support

The level of financial support available to students from the UK government is dependent on where you live and on your household income. All UK students can access a basic level of support to cover their fees and assist with their living costs. Those students from lower-income households are also eligible to receive non-repayable maintenance grants  and increased maintenance loans.
The 2013 government support has now been announced for English students, Scottish students, Northern Irish students, Welsh students and EU students.
International and Islands students should visit the relevant webpages for information on the costs and any support available to them for 2013.

Madzhab dan hukum bermadzhab



Assalamu’alaikum wr wb

Madzhab dan hukum bermadzhab
Madzhab adalah ajaran-ajaran ulama sholeh yang berasal dari ajaran Nabi Muhammad S.A.W, kenapa bisa demikian? Karena ada satu keterangan yang menyebutkan bahwa “ u’lamaa warotsatul ambiyaa” yang artinya para ulama (yang belajar dan mengamalkan ilmu agamanya berdasarkan qur’an dan hadist) adalah pewaris para nabi, jadi para ulama  ini wajib kita ikuti, mengapa? karena hadist Nabi mengatakan  bahwa Nabi Muhammad S.A.W meninggalkan 2 peninggalan yang sangat penting, yang apabila kita memegang teguh kedua hal tersebut, niscaya kita tidak akan pernah tersesat, kedua hal itu adalah al-qur’an dan hadist. Karena yang mendapatkan ilmu qur’an dan ilmu hadist adalah Nabi Muhammad SAW sekarang sudah tiada, maka sebagai pewaris para nabi, ulama soleh yang belajar dan mengajarkan qur’an dan hadist menjadi penerus dan pengganti Nabi Muhammad SAW dalam menyiarkan agama islam, maka kita wajib mengikuti para u’lama sholeh sebagai pembawa risalah para nabi.
Di qur’an terdapat berbagai ilmu pengetahuan, baik itu ilmu pengetahuan alam, sejarah para rosul dan cerita orang –orang shaleh yang terdahulu (yang harus diambil hikmahnya oleh kita),  anjuran beramal baik dan perintah mengerjakan amal ibadah yang diwajibkan(seperti sholat, zakat, dll).
Ada beberapa ayat qur’an yang belum jelas, seperti perintah ALLAH SWT  yang mewajibkan ummat islam untuk menunaikan ibadah sholat. Didalam al-qur’an mewajibkan kita untuk mengerjakan sholat, tapi tidak menjelaskan apa itu sholat, dan bagaimana sholat itu. Nah disitulah peran para u’lama sebagai pewaris/penerus para nabi. Mereka akan memberikan dan mengajarkan ilmu yang telah mereka dapat, baik ilmu yang secara langsung diperoleh dari Nabi Muhammad SAW, ataupun ilmu yang diperoleh dari para sahabat Nabi Muhammad SAW yang semuanya bersumber dari qur’an dan hadist Nabi. Jadi, setelah Nabi Muhammad SAW wafat, maka tugas berdakwah sekarang menjadi tugas para u’lama. Oleh karena itu, kita sebagai muslim yang sangat mencintai ALLAH SWT dan Nabi Muhammad SAW harus menaati perintah-perintah ALLAH SWT yang diberikan kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW, dan karena Nabi Muhammad SAW telah wafat, maka tugas berdakwah itu sekarang diberikan kepada para u’lama.  Para nabi menjadi mulya dan terhormat ketika mereka mendapatkan risalah kenabian dari ALLAH SWT, dan sebagai penerus para nabi, para ‘ulama menjadi mulya dan terhormat ketika mendapatkan ilmu dari risalah kenabian tersebut, seperti tercata dalam al-qur’an, yang artinya adalah “ ALLAH SWT mengangkat derajat orang-orang  yang beriman diantara kamu dan mengangkat derajat orang-orang yang berilmu”. Jadi, kalau kita mentaati fatwa-fatwa/nasihat-nasihat dari u’lama sholeh, maka itu sama saja dengan kita mentaati ALLAH SWT dan Rosul-NYa (selama itu berdasar kepada qur’an dan hadist Nabi, jika itu bertolak belakang dengan kedua-duanya, maka itu adalah kesesatan)
Para ulama sholeh semasa hidupnya dihabiskan dengan mencari keridhaan ALLAH SWT dan terus menerus mencari ilmu yang bisa bermanfa’at didunia dan diakherat. Mereka tidak akan memberikan fatwa-fatwa/ nasihat-nasihat yang sesat.  Karena mereka mengambil ilmu tidak sembarangan, mereka akan melihat siapa sumber tersebut, apakah “sang sumber” tersebut memiliki akhlaq yang baik atau tidak, apakah “sang sumber” tersebut ahli maksiyat atau bukan. Mereka sangat berhati-hati dalam mencari ilmu, sehingga fatwa dan nasihat-nasihatnya murni dari qur’an dan hadist.
Nabi Muhammad SAW kita cintai dan kita taati karena berkat jasa beliaulah syari’at agama ALLAH SWT yaitu agama islam menyebarluas  dimuka bumi ini, dan karena beliau sudah wafat, tugas menyebarluaskan agama ALLAH SWT jatuh kepada para u’lama sholeh. Kenapa kalimatnya berulang-ulang? Itu karena saya mendengar beberapa orang yang melarang bermadzhab, bahkan cenderung mengharamkannya. Mengapa demikian? Mereka yang anti madzhab mengatakan, madzhab hanya akan memecah belah umat islam saja. PERNYATAAN ITU SALAH BESAR. Madzhab tidak memecah belah ummat, itu yang disebut oleh Nabi dengan “PERBEDAAN DIANTARA UMMATKU ADALAH RAHMAT” , yang menyebabkan perpecahan ummat adalah terbentuknya kelompok-kelompok dimasyarakat islam, baik itu partai, maupun ormas yang terlalu fanatik akan ilmu yang mereka dapatkan.
Berbeda dengan “perbedaan antar madzhab” disini tidak menyentuh pokok/dasar ajaran. Perbedaan disini hanya mengenai  ushul fiqih, yaitu cara mengerjakan pokok ajaran, seperti sholat adalah salah satu dasar ajaran islam, sholat terdiri dari sholat 5 waktu, yaitu subuh 2 roka’at, dzhuhur 4 roka’at, ashar 4 roka’at, magrib 3 roka’at, dan I’sya 4 roka’at (itu dasar agama yang tidak boleh berbeda, kalau berbeda berarti sudah keluar dari agama islam) tapi cara mengerjakannya boleh berbeda, tergantung kepada siapa kita berguru, seperti apa yang bisa membatalkan sholat/cara sholat itu sendiri, seperti pembacaan do’a qunut di waktu sholat subuh, karena ada u’lama sholeh yang memakai, dan ada juga yang tidak memakai do’a qunut.
Contoh kongkret dari perbedaan madzhab yang menjadi rahmat  adalah ketika imam syfe’I  r.a yang terkenal dengan madzhab syafe’i, memakai do’a qunut. Disuatu hari, beliau diundang dan menjadi imam sholat dikalangan madzhab tertentu yang tidak memakai qunut, ketika beliau memimpin sholat subuh, beliau menghormati semua makmumnya yang mayoritas tidak menggunakan qunut, jadi beliaupun tidak memakai qunut. Coba bayangkan, dimana letak “MADZHAB MENJADI ALAT PEMECAH UMMAT ISLAM”?  satu kelompok madzhab yang tidak menggunakan qunut, kok bisa mengundang imam syafe’I yang memakai qunut? Apakah tidak ribut? Bahkan imam syafe’i dan kelompok madzhab itupun tidak memperdebatkan hal tersebut. 
Sungguh indah kepribadian ummat muslim, berbeda tapi tetap dalam satu koridor, yaitu koridor islam dan merekapun akan damai, dan selama itupun semua ummat muslim adalah saudara.    
Dengan tidak sengaja, kita sudah bermadzhab, karena semua ilmu yang ada di dunia islam sekarang ini adalah peningggalan madzhab-madzhab yang ada. Dan ALLAH SWT mewajibkan kita belajar agama, supaya kita tahu bahwa mana yang boleh , mana yang tidak, dan kita wajib tahu kenapa itu boleh/ sebaliknya. Kita dilarang oleh ALLAH SWT untuk TAQLID buta, yaitu kita tidak tahu suatu perkara, tapi kita tetap mengerjakannya. Dengan kita mengetahui siapa sumber asli dari ilmu yang kita dapatkan, maka kita akan sadar, apakah kita masih berada dalam jalur islam ataukah kita sudah melenceng.
Madzhab didunia ada empat, yaitu madzhab imam malik, madzhab imam hambali, madzhab imam syafe’I, dan madzhab imam hanafi, dan kesemuanya itu adalah benar, karena mereka memiliki hujjah/dalil-dalil yang masuk akal, yang bersumber dari qur’an dan hadist.
Kesimpulan dari artikel ini adalah  Kita dilarang taqlid buta dan harus mengetahui dan mengikuti 4 madzhab tersebut, karena apa? Karena ada beberapa informasi-informasi yang keluar dari ajaran islam yang sudah beredar luas dimasyarakat, dan alhasil semakin banyak aliran-aliran sesat yang berada diantara kita, karena diluar dari 4 madzhab tersebut masih diragukan sumbernya. Ini terjadi karena kita hanya TAQLID buta, kita tidak mengadakan “TABAYYUN”(mencari tahu kebenaran suatu perkara), padahal di qur’an tercatat bahwa, Apabila datang kepadamu  kabar dari orang fasik, maka cari tahulah (tentang kebenaran berita tersebut)” , jadi bermadzhab tidak dilarang, bahkan diwajibkan, karena sumber dari ke 4 madzhab tersebut adalah qur’an dan hadist.
WALLAHU A’LAM
Jika ada kesalahan dalam artikel ini, saya mohon ma’af, karena saya masih dalam tahap belajar, dan mohon komentar dan koreksiannya.
Semoga bermanfa’at
