Alhamdulillah, my book title ‘Formula Solat Sempurna' in its English version has successfully been published.
Thanks to all parties involved and contributed to the final outcome of this
book. This English version is identical to the Malay version except with small
modification especially on the translation of a hadith in the book to avoid misunderstanding of the meaning.
My primary intention when working on
this subject is to perfect my own prayer. An extensive research was carried out
which relies on various classical works in order to extract the comprehensive
understandings of the noble scholars on this subject. Then, I realized that
what a great loss indeed if these treasures of knowledge are benefitted by an
individual only. Therefore, I decided to produce this work for the benefit of
the Muslims.
Thus, the objective of this treatise
is to bring the Muslims closer to prayer by increasing their understanding on
this subject as well as encouraging them to evaluate and perfect their prayers.
This treatise is built upon the
opinions of the Shāfi`ī school of thought by presenting the evidences used by
the Shāfi`īs and the opinions of the Shāfi`ī scholars as this is the
established school of thought in Malaysia.
Nevertheless, in order to strengthen
the discussion, I would also include the opinions of the Companions of the
Prophet as well as the opinions of other scholars, in
matters pertaining to the Sunnah acts of prayer. For example, there are
several movements that are not considered as obligatory or Sunnah
by the Shāfi`īs but, they are, according to other schools of thought. The
reason I included these discussions is to increase our understanding and to
improve our prayers.
In
the workshops I conducted throughout the country as well as in Brunei, the
majority of the participants assumed that their prayers were perfect according
to the teachings of the Shāfi`ī school of thought although it was, in reality,
the contrary. Nonetheless, it is not a major problem since most of things that
differ are not from the fundamentals; they are either the Sunnah acts or
others. Even though it does not affect the validity of prayer, we should strive
hard to improve and perfect our prayers by observing the prayer according to
the manner taught by Prophet.
In
summary, through this book, I seek to:
a)Invite the readers to reflect upon the
hadīth of the Prophet in which he says, "Pray as you have seen me
praying" while giving precedence to the interpretations of evidences by the
Shāfi`ī scholars. In addition, the opinions of other schools of thought are
also analyzed and benefitted from wherever pertinent.
b)Motivate the Muslims to perform prayer
in the best manner possible by perfecting its pillars and Sunnah acts as
well as observing its conditions, through learning and understanding the
evidences.
c)Deepen the relationship with prayer by
pondering upon the recitations of the prayer and its movements in perfecting
the prayer internally.
d)Enhance the understanding of the
Muslims on the matters that inhibit the presence of khushū` in prayer,
especially from among the major sins.
e)Improve the knowledge of this act of
worship which we are commanded to perform five times every single day until our
last breath.
A Gift For Adults
Some people presume that this kind
of book is meant for children although parents themselves are still struggling
with their prayers. It is very disheartening to see that most of the tools
available pertaining to prayer, such as books and workshops, are aimed for
children. How about the parents or adults? Why is no one helping them?
Therefore, this book is meant for
adults to assess their prayers so that they may improve and perfect their
prayers. I tried my best not to pass on rulings; rather, all that I presented
in this book are the interpretations of the evidences by the scholars. Also, in
this book, I present discussions such as:
"What is the situation of someone
who performs an act based on his understanding of the related evidence and its
interpretation of the scholars?" or "Perhaps with a sincere intention, we will
be rewarded, but if we leave it, there is no harm upon us."
It is not my intention at all to
boast with what I have researched on this subject or to deny the teachings of
other scholars. Instead, through this small effort, I hope to present the
knowledge pertaining to prayer in a simple, yet comprehensive manner.
I believe that the numbers of books
referred to are not as important as the quality. Therefore, I had to limit
myself to selecting some classical works as well as the contemporary ones that
are well-established, in sharing the treasures extracted from these works with
the readers.
My ability is limited in terms of
studying every single book that is available in the market, yet it does not
stop me from sharing whatever I have benefitted from my course of research on
this subject. If there is anyone who seeks to produce a book on this subject in
order to benefit the Muslims, I will not hesitate to lend him my outmost
support and encouragement.
Finally, I hope that this small
effort will be included amongst my good deeds and will be accepted by Allāh . In addition, I pray that this work will be of benefit,
in this life and the Hereafter, for the english readers. Āmīn.

2. solat sunat
Ust, adakah doa2 khusus utk solat2 sunat spt dhuha & taubat? Melalui pembacaan saya yg tak seberapa, setakat ni saya cuma jumpa hadis berkenaan doa solat tahajud & witir.
Perlukah lagi kita solat taubat jika sekiranya setiap kali solat tahajud kita berdoa memohon keampunan Allah?
Mohon pencerahan UZAR. Terima Kasih Ust.
UZAR : tidak ada doa khusus utk solat taubat dan dhuha, yg ada hanya doa khusus utk solat istikharah. Justeru doa dhuha dan taubat adalah bebas

4. AlhamduliLlah
Salam,
JazakaLlah dan tahniah Ust. Harap Ust dapat mengupdate buku ini jika terjumpa dengan sumber yang lebih kuat berbanding apa yang dijumpai. Imam Syafi'i sendiri berkata "Jika kamu sesuatu yang berbeza dengan tulisanku yang berdasarkan Sunnah RasuluLlah (SAW) dan bercakap mengenai sunnah RasuluLlah (SAW), maka tinggalkanlah tulisanku." Wallahualam.
Oh ya, apa pendapat Ust mengenai buku Al-Albani mengenai hal ini?
Tahniah sekali lagi. Wassalamualaikum
UZAR : inshaaAllah sudah tentu, cuma penilaian 'lebih kuat' itu juga berbeza menurut ijtihad ulama, so kita tidak harus menanganggap semua yang ada pada kita yang paling kuat dalam semua keadaan. Sekadar mengingatkan diri.
