Dalil Wajibnya Menghadiri Udangan Pernikahan

Abu Hurairah radhiallahu anhu berkata: Aku mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda:

حَقُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ خَمْسٌ رَدُّ السَّلَامِ وَعِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعُ الْجَنَائِزِ وَإِجَابَةُ الدَّعْوَةِ وَتَشْمِيتُ الْعَاطِسِ

“Hak muslim atas muslim lainnya ada lima: Menjawab salam, menjenguk yang sakit, mengiringi jenazah, memenuhi undangan, & mendoakan orang yang bersin”. (HR. Al-Bukhari no. 1240 & Muslim no. 2162)

Dari Abdullah bin Umar radhiallahu anhuma, bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda:

إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْوَلِيمَةِ فَلْيَأْتِهَا

“Jika salah seorang dari kalian diundang ke acara walimahan (resepsi pernikahan), maka hendaknya dia datang.” (HR. Al-Bukhari no. 4775 & Muslim no. 1429)

Dari Jabir radhiallahu anhu dia berkata: Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda:

إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَعِمَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ

“Jika kalian diundang ke acara jamuan makan, maka hendaknya dia mendatanginya. (Setelah dia datang) jika dia mau maka silakan makan, & jika dia mau maka dia boleh meninggalkannya (tidak makan).” (HR. Muslim no. 1430)

Dari Abu Hurairah radhiallahu anhu dia berkata:

بِئْسَ الطَّعَامُ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهِ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ

“Seburuk-buruk jamuan adalah jamuan dlm pesta pernikahan, dimana yang diundang ke pesta tersebut hanyalah orang-orang kaya saja dgn mengabaikan orang-orang miskin. Dan siapa yang tak mendatangi undangan (pernikahan) tersebut, maka sungguh dia telah durhaka kepada Allah & Rasul-Nya.” (HR. Muslim no. 1432)

Hukum Mengadiri Udangan Pernikahan

Menjawab undangan terlebih undangan resepsi pernikahan merupakan hak seorang muslim atas saudaranya yang lain, karenanya Nabi shallallahu alaihi wasallam menganjurkan utk menerima setiap undangan karena hal itu bisa memperkuat hubungan kemasyarakatan & kekeluargaan di antara kaum muslimin. Mayoritas ulama berpendapat bahwa hukum asal menjawab undangan adalah sunnah kecuali undangan walimahan (resepsi pernikahan) karena mereka berpendapat wajibnya utk menghadiri walimahan. Mereka berdalil dgn hadits Abdullah bin Umar radhiallahu anhuma di atas & dipertegas dgn ucapan Abu Hurairah radhiallahu anhu di atas, “Dan siapa yang tak mendatangi undangan (pernikahan) tersebut, maka sungguh dia telah durhaka kepada Allah & Rasul-Nya.”

Hanya saja hukum wajib ini dibatasi dgn beberapa persyaratan, yaitu:

Yang mengundang bukanlah orang yang dihajr (diboikot karena masalah agama) atau ditahdzir. Tentunya jika hajr & tahdzirnya mempunyai alasan yang kuat, & ini membutuhkan pembahasan tersendiri.

Tidak ada amalan kemungkaran dlm walimahan tersebut, seperti terjadi ikhtilat atau adanya lantunan musik, kecuali jika dia sanggup utk menghilangkan kemungkaran tersebut.

Hanya saja dia tetap bisa mengucapkan selamat kepada kedua mempelai setelah semua kemungkaran tersebut berakhir.

Yang mengundang adalah seorang muslim. Ini berdasarkan hadits Abu Hurairah yang pertama di atas.

Makanan yang dihidangkan bukanlah makanan yang haram zatnya, semisal khamar, bangkai, babi, & semacamnya. Adapun jika makanan itu haram karena sebabnya (maksudnya makanannya halal tapi didapatkan dari cara yang haram) misalnya uang yang dibelikan makanan adalah hasil riba atau pencurian maka tak mengapa memakannya karena dosa ditanggung oleh yang melakukannya secara langsung, akan tetapi yang lebih utama jika dia tak memakannya. Ini adalah pendapat yang paling kuat di kalangan ulama.

Tidak bertabrakan dgn kewajiban lainnya. Jika memenuhi undangan walimahan menyebabkan seseorang meninggalkan kewajiban maka tak boleh menghadiri walimahan tersebut.

Tidak menimbulkan kesusahan atas diri sendiri. Misalnya jika walimahannya jauh atau dia tak mempunyai biaya atau kendaraan utk menghadirinya maka tak wajib.

Undangannya bukan undangan umum akan tetapi undangan khusus yang ditentukan siapa yang diundang. Jika undangannya umum -misalnya diumumkan ketika kajian umum atau di khalayak ramai- maka undangan tersebut tak bersifat fardhu ain, akan tetapi jika sudah ada yang mendatanginya maka sudah gugur kewajiban dari yang lainnya, wallahu a’lam.

(Al-Qaul Al-Mufid: 3/111-113 karya Asy-Syaikh Ibnu Al-Utsaimin dgn perubahan & penambahan)

Faidah Menghadiri Undangan

Semisal dgn syarat yang ketujuh di atas dlm masalah kartu undangan walimah. Jika dlm undangan dituliskan nama tertentu maka wajib atas orang tersebut utk menghadirinya jika syarat-syarat lainnya terpenuhi. Tapi jika nama yang tertulis adalah nama umum maka hukumnya seperti yang kami sebutkan di atas, wallahu a’lam.

Jika yang diundang dlm keadaan berpuasa? haruskah Membatalkan Puasanya?

Puasa bukanlah penghalang utk menghadiri acara walimahan & undangan makan lainnya. Hanya saja jika puasanya adalah puasa wajib maka dia tetap disyariatkan utk menghadiri undangan tersebut akan tetapi tentunya dia tak boleh makan. Tapi jika puasanya adalah puasa sunnah maka dia boleh tetap berpuasa & boleh juga dia membatalkan puasanya. Karena Nabi shallallahu alaihi wasallam bersabda, “Apabila salah seorang di antara kalian diundang maka wajib baginya utk menghadiri undangan. Apabila dia dlm keadaan berpuasa maka hendaknya dia mendokannya (yang mengundang) & apabila dia dlm keadaan berbuka maka hendaknya dia mencicipi hidangannya.” (HR. Muslim no. 1431)

Dan juga berdasarkan sabda Nabi shallallahu alaihi wasallam dlm hadits Ummu Hani` radhiallahu anha:

الصَّائِمُ الْمُتَطَوِّعُ أَمِيرُُ نَفْسِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ

“Orang yang berpuasa sunnah lebih berhak atas dirinya, jika ingin maka boleh membatalkan atau menyempurnakan puasanya.” (HR. Ahmad no. 25658 & At-Tirmizi no. 664)

Akan jika dia merasa yang mengundang akan tersinggung atau akan menimbulkan suasana yang kurang nyaman di antara para undangan maka lebih utama jika dia membatalkan puasa sunnahnya. Ini berdasarkan hadits Abu Said Al-Khudri radhiallahu anhu beliau mengatakan: “Saya membuat makanan utk Nabi Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Ketika makanan tersebut dihidangkan, seseorang berkata, “Saya sedang berpuasa.” Maka Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam  bersabda, “Saudaramu telah mengundangmu & telah bersusah payah karenamu, berbukalah & berpuasalah di lain hari sebagai penggantinya jika engkau mau.” (HR. Al-Baihaqi: 4/279 & dinyatakan hasan oleh Al-Albani dlm Al-Irwa` no. 1952)

Sejarah Kalender Hijriyah

Kalender Hijriyah atau Kalender Islam (bahasa Arab: التقويم الهجري; at-taqwim al-hijri), adalah kalender yang digunakan oleh umat Islam, termasuk dalam menentukan tanggal atau bulan yang berkaitan dengan ibadah, atau hari-hari penting lainnya. Kalender ini dinamakan Kalender Hijriyah, karena pada tahun pertama kalender ini adalah tahun dimana terjadi peristiwa Hijrah-nya Nabi Muhammad dari Makkah ke Madinah, yakni pada tahun 622 M. Di beberapa negara yang berpenduduk mayoritas Islam, Kalender Hijriyah juga digunakan sebagai sistem penanggalan sehari-hari. Kalender Islam menggunakan peredaran bulan sebagai acuannya, berbeda dengan kalender biasa (kalender Masehi) yang menggunakan peredaran Matahari.

Penentuan dimulainya sebuah hari/tanggal pada Kalender Hijriyah berbeda dengan pada Kalender Masehi. Pada sistem Kalender Masehi, sebuah hari/tanggal dimulai pada pukul 00.00 waktu setempat. Namun pada sistem Kalender Hijriah, sebuah hari/tanggal dimulai ketika terbenamnya Matahari di tempat tersebut.

Kalender Hijriyah dibangun berdasarkan rata-rata silkus sinodik bulan kalender lunar (qomariyah), memiliki 12 bulan dalam setahun. Dengan menggunakan siklus sinodik bulan, bilangan hari dalam satu tahunnya adalah (12 x 29,53059 hari = 354,36708 hari).Hal inilah yang menjelaskan 1 tahun Kalender Hijriah lebih pendek sekitar 11 hari dibanding dengan 1 tahun Kalender Masehi.

Faktanya, siklus sinodik bulan bervariasi. Jumlah hari dalam satu bulan dalam Kalender Hijriah bergantung pada posisi bulan, bumi dan Matahari. Usia bulan yang mencapai 30 hari bersesuaian dengan terjadinya bulan baru (new moon) di titik apooge, yaitu jarak terjauh antara bulan dan bumi, dan pada saat yang bersamaan, bumi berada pada jarak terdekatnya dengan Matahari (perihelion). Sementara itu, satu bulan yang berlangsung 29 hari bertepatan dengan saat terjadinya bulan baru di perige (jarak terdekat bulan dengan bumi) dengan bumi berada di titik terjauhnya dari Matahari (aphelion). Dari sini terlihat bahwa usia bulan tidak tetap melainkan berubah-ubah (29 - 30 hari) sesuai dengan kedudukan ketiga benda langit tersebut (Bulan, Bumi dan Matahari).

Penentuan awal bulan (new moon) ditandai dengan munculnya penampakan (visibilitas) Bulan Sabit pertama kali (hilal) setelah bulan baru (konjungsi atau ijtimak). Pada fase ini, Bulan terbenam sesaat setelah terbenamnya Matahari, sehingga posisi hilal berada di ufuk barat. Jika hilal tidak dapat terlihat pada hari ke-29, maka jumlah hari pada bulan tersebut dibulatkan menjadi 30 hari. Tidak ada aturan khusus bulan-bulan mana saja yang memiliki 29 hari, dan mana yang memiliki 30 hari. Semuanya tergantung pada penampakan hilal.

Penetapan kalender Hijriyah dilakukan pada jaman Khalifah Umar bin Khatab, yang menetapkan peristiwa hijrahnya Rasulullah saw dari Mekah ke Madinah. Kalender Hijriyah juga terdiri dari 12 bulan, dengan jumlah hari berkisar 29-30 hari. Penetapan 12 bulan ini sesuai dengan firman Allah Subhana Wata'ala: ”Sesungguhnya bilangan bulan pada sisi Allah ialah dua belas bulan, dalam ketetapan Allah di waktu Dia menciptakan langit dan bumi, di antaranya empat bulan haram. Itulah (ketetapan) agama yang lurus, maka janganlah kamu menganiaya diri kamu dalam bulan yang empat itu, dan perangilah kaum musyrikin itu semuanya sebagaimana mereka pun memerangi kamu semuanya; dan ketahuilah bahwasanya Allah beserta orang-orang yang bertakwa.” (QS : At Taubah(9):36). Sebelumnya, orang Arab pra-kerasulan Rasulullah Muhammad SAW telah menggunakan bulan-bulan dalam kalender hijriyah ini. Hanya saja mereka tidak menetapkan ini tahun berapa, tetapi tahun apa. Misalnya saja kita mengetahui bahwa kelahiran Rasulullah SAW adalah pada tahun gajah.Abu Musa Al-Asyári sebagai salah satu gubernur di zaman Khalifah Umar r.a. menulis surat kepada Amirul Mukminin yang isinya menanyakan surat-surat dari khalifah yang tidak ada tahunnya, hanya tanggal dan bulan saja, sehingga membingungkan. Khalifah Umar lalu mengumpulkan beberapa sahabat senior waktu itu. Mereka adalah Utsman bin Affan r.a., Ali bin Abi Thalib r.a., Abdurrahman bin Auf r.a., Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqas r.a., Zubair bin Awwam r.a., dan Thalhan bin Ubaidillah r.a. Mereka bermusyawarah mengenai kalender Islam. Ada yang mengusulkan berdasarkan milad Rasulullah saw. Ada juga yang mengusulkan berdasarkan pengangkatan Muhammad saw menjadi Rasul. Dan yang diterima adalah usul dari Ali bin Abi Thalib r.a. yaitu berdasarkan momentum hijrah Rasulullah SAW dari Makkah ke Yatstrib (Madinah). Maka semuanya setuju dengan usulan Ali r.a. dan ditetapkan bahwa tahun pertama dalam kalender Islam adalah pada masa hijrahnya Rasulullah saw. Sedangkan nama-nama bulan dalam kalender hijriyah ini diambil dari nama-nama bulan yang telah ada dan berlaku pada masa itu di wilayah Arab.

Penentuan kapan dimulainya tahun 1 Hijriah dilakukan 6 tahun setelah wafatnya Nabi Muhammad. Namun demikian, sistem yang mendasari Kalender Hijriah telah ada sejak zaman pra-Islam, dan sistem ini direvisi pada tahun ke-9 periode Madinah.

Sebelum datangnya Islam, di tanah Arab dikenal sistem kalender berbasis campuran antara Bulan (komariyah) maupun Matahari (syamsiyah). Peredaran bulan digunakan, dan untuk mensinkronkan dengan musim dilakukan penambahan jumlah hari (interkalasi).

Pada waktu itu, belum dikenal penomoran tahun. Sebuah tahun dikenal dengan nama peristiwa yang cukup penting pada tahun tersebut. Misalnya, tahun dimana Muhammad lahir, dikenal dengan sebutan "Tahun Gajah", karena pada waktu itu, terjadi penyerbuan Ka'bah di Mekkah oleh pasukan gajah yang dipimpin oleh Abrahah, Gubernur Yaman (salah satu provinsi Kerajaan Aksum, kini termasuk wilayah Ethiopia).

Pada era kenabian Muhammad, sistem penanggalan pra-Islam digunakan. Pada tahun ke-9 setelah Hijrah, turun ayat 36-37 Surat At-Taubah, yang melarang menambahkan hari (interkalasi) pada sistem penanggalan.

Setelah wafatnya Nabi Muhammad, diusulkan kapan dimulainya Tahun 1 Kalender Islam. Ada yang mengusulkan adalah tahun kelahiran Muhammad sebagai awal patokan penanggalan Islam. Ada yang mengusulkan pula awal patokan penanggalan Islam adalah tahun wafatnya Nabi Muhammad.

Akhirnya, pada tahun 638 M (17 H), khalifah Umar bin Khatab menetapkan awal patokan penanggalan Islam adalah tahun dimana hijrahnya Nabi Muhammad dari Mekkah ke Madinah. Penentuan awal patokan ini dilakukan setelah menghilangkan seluruh bulan-bulan tambahan (interkalasi) dalam periode 9 tahun. Tanggal 1 Muharam Tahun 1 Hijriah bertepatan dengan tanggal 16 Juli 622, dan tanggal ini bukan berarti tanggal hijrahnya Nabi Muhammad. Peristiwa hijrahnya Nabi Muhammad terjadi bulan September 622. Dokumen tertua yang menggunakan sistem Kalender Hijriah adalah papirus di Mesir pada tahun 22 H, PERF 558. sumber

Music Therapy for Autistic Patients

Many people listen to music for entertainment, and many people play musical instruments in many parts of the world. Interestingly, music is embraced by all cultures, some dating to the ancient times. Music has the power to touch people of all cultures, races, religions, and nationalities, communicating with the masses on a deeper level. For some time now, music therapy has been successfully used to improve the functionality of people who are suffering from a broad range of emotional or cognitive problems. Music therapists have found this method to be especially effective with autistic patients of all ages. 

At this point, it's important to differentiate the difference between music therapy and music instruction. Music instruction refers to the study of music or music lessons where a person learns to play a musical instrument. Well, it can be argued that playing a musical instrument can be therapeutic but it's not the scope of music therapy. In music therapy, the therapist uses music to achieve certain individualized goals with the patient. 

What Can Music Therapy Do For Autistic Patients? 

On the most basic level, music therapy can help to improve the skills of autistic patients such as self-reliance, motor or perceptual skills, cognition, behavior, sensory issues, social skills, and communication skills. By enhancing these skills, autistic patients can integrate more easily into society. At the same time, they will also grow in confidence and learn to be more self-sufficient. To build trust and develop personal connections, it's the challenge of the music therapist to strike a chord with the autistic patient through music experiences. Due to nature of music which is both engaging and affecting, it's perfectly suited to be used as a tool to stimulate a particular response. For some reason, music has a profound effect of autistic patients so it's quite normal for them to respond positively to music therapy. Patients who are suffering from sensory aversions may find music therapy to be effective in helping them to handle auditory processing differences and sound sensibilities. 

How Do Music Therapists Work with Autistic Patients? 

Working with small groups or individuals, music therapists use a range of music and techniques to provide the right treatment to autistic patients. To develop an effective treatment strategy, the music therapist needs to analyze the autistic patient's needs and strengths. The goals and objectives of the treatments have to be laid out so that the progress of the patients can be monitored. 

A music therapist can use spontaneous musical improvisation to encourage the autistic patients to express themselves, thereby, improving their communication and social skills. For instance, the music therapist may play the guitar or even sing as the patient produces sounds. This is an effective way to give support to the patients so that they are confident enough to create their own musical language. The patient will learn the joys of two-way communication and also tap into a wider spectrum of emotions. A professional music therapist will know how to formulate developmental plans to maximize the potential of the patient.

What You Can Do to Find Your Passion

In order to find your passion, you have to undergo certain things. They may not necessarily be the first things that you think of doing, but do them anyway, as the results will always be spectacular. After all, once you discover what it is you were really meant to do in life, and once you actually fulfill your destiny, you will feel absolutely amazing, and wouldn't you want that? Here then are some tips to start you off.

1. Find your passion by looking at great art.
Art is the imitation of life, but sometimes life imitates art as well. A source of inspiration that a lot of people are inspired by is art. There are artists who didn't know that they were artists until they saw a Picasso painting. Beauty has a way of stirring the soul. Sometimes the presence of great art causes us to realize that we want to create and be in the presence of divine art. Visit museums and other art galleries so that you may fulfill your destiny to become a great artist.
2. Find your passion by volunteering for a cause.
One of the hindrances to passion is a lack of awareness. How can you be passionate about something, if you don't know what there is to be passionate about? One way to discover your true calling is to dabble in what other people are passionate about. Why are environmentalists passionate about their cause? Why are social activists willing to be arrested for the sake of freedom of speech? Maybe what you need to do to fulfill your destiny is to join a cause that you feel strongly about.

3. Find your passion by spending time with children.
Spending time with children can help you discover your passion. Children are pure and unbiased. They have the untainted wisdom of innocence. They are not concerned with the usual limitations we impose upon ourselves. Sometimes while singing to a child, she will ask you, "Why aren't you a singer?" And you too might wonder why. Maybe what you need to fulfill your destiny is encouragement from someone who believes in a world where dreams can come true.

4. Find your passion by being interested in what your friends are passionate about.
Birds of the same feather flock together. We are friends with particular people because we have something in common with them. When what you have in common with your friends is not immediately evident, try to dig deeper. Maybe your friend is involved in a cause, a career, or a business that you didn't know you'd be interested in. Give it a try. It might turn out to be something you're really good at. Fulfill your destiny by being open to trying new things.

5. Find your passion by ignoring social standards. 
We all want to passionate about something we can tell our friends about. People who are passionate about science, law, business, or medicine are admired by society. But what if you're not passionate about any of that? What if what you're really interested in are "board games?" It takes a lot of honesty for an individual to admit that he's not interested in what is society thinks he should be passionate about. However, if you want to fulfill your destiny, you have to pursue what makes you happy and not what everyone thinks you should pursue.

Discovering your passion will definitely open a lot of doors for you, doors that you never even knew existed before then. If you thought that you already had everything figured out in your life, once you actually find your true passion, you'll realize that there is so much more that you do not know and have not experienced. So go on and try to fulfill your destiny already! You most certainly deserve to!

Starvation is a usual drastic diet plan that people use even though it can cause them to feel very exhausted. You may just not eat breakfast or lunch, or maybe both meals. In your mind, you tell yourself that you're not famished even though your stomach is grumbling like crazy, screaming I want to be fed!. However, after a short while your body learns to adapt. The less you eat, the more your body becomes afraid that it won't have sufficient food so it adjusts your metabolism, slowing it down to the extent that you are scarcely burning any fat during the day. When you go back to your typical eating habits again, your metabolism will remain slower resulting in your easily storing calories, causing you to speedily gain more fat.

In comparison to anorexia and starvation where it is obvious that the person is losing weight, bulimia is difficult to detect because the weight doesn't fluctuate widely. Vomiting the food you've consumed is dangerous for your body. Your heart and other vital body parts can be gravely harmed. You can end up having stomach ulcers because of it.

Roy Jones Jr. returns to Russia to rap

It was boxing, which has given him inspiration to write rap songs, multiple champion Roy Jones Jr. told RT ahead of his Russian musical tour.

When it comes to picking the best pound-for-pound boxer of all time, Roy Jones Jr. is one of the hot favorites.

The American is the ten-time belt holder in four divisions, named fighter of the decade in the 1990's and also an all-round entertainer and successful music artist.

Jones made his debut in Moscow at the age of 42, when he lost by knock-out to current WBA ‘regular’ cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev.

But despite the defeat, he earned himself many followers in the country. 

“I love the fans and I love the support I get in Russia,” Jones told RT. “Having the support that I get… there are so many people that love me here and all that I do. So I try to share all of myself with them. I do basketball; I do the music; I do boxing. I try to share everything that I do with the Russian public, because they are so receptive of me."

Roy returned to a warm reception from the Russian crowd as he began his tour of the country in Moscow, performing his rap songs, making guest appearances, spending time with fans and talking about the sport that inspired his lyrics.

“I got most of my inspiration from when I would be getting ready for a fight,” he explained. “Certain songs would motivate me to win, to want to fight. So then I started coming up with these ideas about the people I was fighting. And that would make me want to think of a song to write to just get my mind right coming into the fight, and that’s what kind of got me started.”

It's safe to say that no one in Russia will forget about Jones any time soon, either as a singer or as a boxer, while there could be fewer fighters from his own country that could soon fill his shoes.

During his impressive career, Jones has held 63 bouts, winning 55 of them and collecting 40 knockouts.
