The Secret of a Fly’s Wings Monday, 18th May 2009 قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا وَقَعَ الذُّبَابُ فِي شَرَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَغْمِسْهُ ثُمَّ لِيَنْزِعْهُ فَإِنَّ فِي إِحْدَى جَنَاحَيْهِ دَاءً وَالْأُخْرَى شِفَاءً (صحيح البخاري) Rasulullah S.A.W declared: “If a fly falls into your drink, drown it then take it out, indeed one of its wings has disease while the other wing has the remedy.” (Shahih Bukhari) Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh All the Praise be to Allah S.W.T The Supreme Being, The God Almighty in the world and sky, The Only God and Everlasting even before the whole world has been created, until it is thoroughly created and being guided on how to maintain it by the most perfect guidance, until the world is over. He is (Allah) The Only God without the beginning or the end. Being existed with all creatures that must have the beginning and ending. While Allah is The Creator of the beginning and the end, hence Allah is never dependent on the words of beginning and end. He is The Only One, The Everlasting S.W.T, “laysa kamitslihi syai’un” there is nothing like Him, He is incomparable. QS. Assyura: 11. And unite all the perfection within His Name, The Only God, Allah S.W.T throughout the periods of time. The more a man learns what the world has; he will understand further the secret of God’s Magnificence. The more he studies the sunnah of The Prophet S.A.W the messenger of Blessings, hence he will further understand how magnificent Allah Jalla Wa Alla and His lessons are. Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah, Within this noble gathering, gathered as many servants whom souls are seen and noticed by Rabbul Alamin, The Most Observer towards each deepest feeling, The Most Watcher towards all things we have done in life, The Most Omniscient what will happen tomorrow and The Supreme Being Who is able to turn and twist our condition in the future. He is The Only God, Allah Allah Jalla Wa Alla The Most Eternal, Allah who is always glorified and always grand in the whole world, overseeing this World Kingdom with perfection. Now we have come to the hadits of The Prophet, Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. As written in Shahih Bukhari, one hadits that sounds trivial but indeed reveals the secret of nobility and perfection as well as modernity of the lessons from Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. He S.A.W declared, “idza waqa’adzdzubabu fi syarabi ahadikum falyaghmishu tsumma liyanzi’hu fainna fi ihda janahaiyhi da’an wal ukhra syifa’an” if a fly falls into your glass, drown it, because one if its wings has disease while the other wing has its remedy. It doesn’t mean that we must do this all the time. What we are discussing here is indeed not about a fly falling down into the glass that must be drown, because what it means from this hadits is not a command, but something that may neutralize the water from the fly’s poison. This has been proved by our scientists, as they studied about the insects on earth. They found out the enormous marvels of those insects, that a fly flaps its wings 200 to 400X (times) each second. And each second, the fly moves its wings 200 to 400X movements. And for an animal called “Ganjur” even flaps its wings 1000X each second. The scientists studied 4 kinds of insects, they learnt about those creatures and said that they just studied 4 kinds of insects while there are still left approximately more than 10 million kind of insects in this world. And certainly, they found out many discoveries and miracles from those insects, and they said that in each of the wings of a fly, there are elevator and depressor functions, which meant as the function of elevating and lowering its wings. And it moves 200 to 400X each second, and the amazing movement of the fly which always moves in many minutes or even hours. Such fast movement of the muscles that moves the wings of such a tiny fly is amazing. Allah S.W.T commanded “ya ayyuhannaas..” O’ humankind, has been given to all of you one example, thus listen to the example I have given, those who admit God aside from Allah S.W.T will never be able to create a fly although from naught, although all of them who are worshipped other than Allah gather together.” (QS Al Hajj 73). All that are worshipped other than Allah gather together to create a fly, they will never be able to do it, they will never be able to create a tiny fly although they are all united. A tiny fly, as explained by researchers from Australia, in one of its wings they found 1 RESILIN GENE, a gene that has 2 functions, an industrial function and health function. Function towards the industry is that this Resilin gene is much more powerful and enormous than all kind of rubbers found and made by humankind on this earth. The kind of rubber is taken from rubber trees or any other thing, while the Resilin gene found in the wings of a fly is much stronger and more powerful if used as rubber as it has the powerful capacity to push and press as well as the enormous capacity to bounce and these are all found from the wings of a fly and other insect that can vibrate until 1000X each second, like a creature called ‘ganjur’ or other insects. And for the health function, the Resilin gene is a gene that can cure diseases found in the arteries and nerves. There are a lot of blockages or clogging in the arteries (blood vessels) and these Resilin genes from the wings of a fly can cure such disease. This shows the magnificent and perfection and the intelligence of Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. If a fly falls into your glass, drown it. It means, the Resilin genes in its wings would be absorbed by the water that makes the water purified from bacteria found in the other wing. Who informed The Prophet S.A.W that there is Resilin genes that can cure the clogging in the arteries or blood vessels while those genes are not even visible..?. We can see them through a microscope and it takes many years to study it, but The Prophet S.A.W knew that in the wings of a fly there are remedies and diseases, until the grains of the genes and cells of a fly’s wings had been discovered by Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. The more a person study about sunnah, hence the more perfect and modern his life would become. Ladies and gentlemen, this shows how magnificent it is our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, whose guidance seemed to be trivial if we have yet to study it. Those who don’t understand would certainly laugh, how could a fly that already falls into the water, should be drown? But The Prophet S.A.W knew “..fainna fi ihda jana haihi da’an wal ukhra syifa’an” because on its wings there are disease as well as remedy. And in fact, our scientists prove it, the depth and sharpness of the awareness of Muhammad Rasulullah S.A.W. Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah, This is the perfection of Allah S.W.T in creating the sunnah of The Prophet S.A.W, as written in Shahih Bukhari, Rasul S.A.W declared “if you sleep, turn off the light.” So simple, we might think that turning off the lights meant that we would save the oil of the lantern, at that time. But actually it was not that simple, in fact the human body produces energy when they sleep and the energy comes out from the body will mend the broken cells in the body, and those energies would be disturbed by the presence of lights. This kind of thing has been discovered by Muhammad Rasulullah S.A.W. If you sleep, turn off the lights. At that period of tiem, 14 centuries ago, they didn’t understand about body energy and such. The Prophet S.A.W has known it although at that era, people have yet to come to this kind of knowledge. The Prophet S.A.W taught it, follow His sunnah. Here comes the time to prove it that in fact The Prophet S.A.W knew that the energy which comes out from the human body when sleeping will be disturbed by the light. His command is clear, therefore if you sleep, please turn off the lights to make the energy in your body works well in mending your body. It shows the perfection of the lessons from Muhammad Rasullah S.A.W. and Rasul S.A.W declared “there is none of you (it means all of you) will face the Creator, the God and he will be standing alone, and nobody will accompany him” (when he stands up to face the Rabb) (Shahih Bukhari). Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah, There are more than 10 million kinds of insects found on this earth and each of the insects has its own different kind of rules. Each insect has its own wing’s speed, ranging from 200 to 400X each second, or even could reach up to 1000X each second. While there are 10 million kinds of insects, then who controls this all? Could the insect systematize its own movement? Or other functions of its muscles and nerves? They could only live without knowing why they live. This is the nature of an insect, a bee with its own benefit, a fly or a mosquito, each represents the sign of the God’s magnificence. And all of them are under Allah’s willing. Recognizing this all, The Great Creator, He is Allah. Return to Him and not to the depth science on a fly or insects but study more on who the creator of it all is, Rabbul Alamin..Allahu Allahu Allahu. And we all will stand before Allah, the most significant moment. When we contemplate it, we will stand up as our name is called, and we will find as explained fulan bin fulan to come forward in the presence of Allah. As written in Shahih Bukhari, when one of the people came forward to face Allah, he was a person who longed for Allah the most when he was alive on earth. Hence when he was taken to the presence of Allah S.W.T, Allah S.W.T hid all his sins, invisible by other people on that mahsyar field and what they could see were only the rewards of his good deeds. Why? “Whoever covers the flaws of other person (Moslem’s) in the world, hence on the judgment day, his sins wouldn’t be seen”. (Shahih Bukhari) He had a lot of sins but all were hid by Allah, and not exposed to others, the way any good deeds in the majestic trial on mahsyar field would be checked. On so and so date, day, month, you conducted this, who is the witness? The witnesses are your hands, and legs. “his hands, legs, and all part of his body are the witnesses”. The earth will witness and the angels too, that this person performed so and so thing, and by that time all his offspring would see, all his friends would see, and his family and relatives and the whole people on earth would see it. But for those who always hide the flaws of other Moslems in the world, Allah will hide their sins. Also for those who come forward to the presence of Allah, those who love Allah and certainly still have sins, Allah S.W.T declared, “you conducted this and that, conducted sins on so and so day, date and in a certain place,..?”, “yes I did, O’ Allah”, “and look at this one?”, Allah would keep on questioning. And he said, “true, O’ Allah, it’s true O’ Allah”. Then Allah S.W.T declared “in the world I protected you, people who don’t know their sins. Now in the Judgment Day I pardon you”. (Shahih Bukhari). So magnificent Allah is, towards those who want to get closer towards Allah Jalla Wa Alla. Ladies and gentlemen being glorified by Allah, As written in Shahih Bukhari, about someone who always recites Surah Al Ikhlas and keeps on repeating it many times. This story has two versions, three versions in Shahih Bukhari and Shahih Muslim. Three different stories but with one meaning, the first story is the story of a person who, every time he finished reciting Surah Al Fatihah, would recite Surah Al Ikhlas and followed by other surah from Al Qur’an. (Al Fatihah – Al Ikhlas – other surah from Al. Qu’ran), and we have discussed this story many times. The second story was from Sayyidatuna Aisyah radiyallahu anha, that someone performed the same thing when he was in war and when he was reported to Prophet S.A.W, Prophet S.A.W said, “ask him why did he do that?”, he replied, “I’m happy to recite it because in that surah, there are characters of Allah whom I love”, I love to recite the words “Allahu ahad” (Allah The Only God) in my heart, I will never bow down to others, no matter how many sins I conducted I will never bow down and worship other than Allah… only Allah, I am happy to call His Name....” When Prophet S.A.W came to know about this news, Prophet S.A.W said, “Please tell him that Allah loves him”. Why? Because he loves to call Allah’s Name, loves to recite the character of Allah, thus Allah also loves him. Ladies and gentlemen, the love towards Allah is the one certainly answered from all kind of love. We could love anyone, but the one that would be certainly answered is the love of Allah. If we love someone, it doesn’t guarantee that person loves us back, we love someone 100% and we cannot guarantee that he would love us 100%. But if someone loves Allah 100%, Allah will love him back 200%. “Wa idza taqarraba ilayya abdi syibran taqarabbtu ilaihi dzira’an, waidza taqarabba ilayya abdi dzira’an taqarabbtu ilaihi ba’a,” when My servants get closer to Me one span, I will get closer to him one span of arm, My servants get closer to Me one span of arm, I will get even closer to him one fathom,” (Shahih Bukhari). This is a comparison that the love of Allah will be even bigger than our love for Allah. No matter how big your love and long for Allah is, His love towards us will be even bigger. Thus, who wants to refuse the love proposal from Allah and Allah’s desire towards us? Answer the desire of Allah S.W.T and the love of Allah towards us by loving and longing for Allah. I am a sinner days and nights, and not qualified to long for Allah… In fact, the love and desire for Allah if comes from the sinners when they want to get closer to Allah and regret, Allah S.W.T will raise their level from the lowest rank to the most dignified rank. “Innallahu yuhibbu tawwabin wa yuhibbu muthathahirin, Innahu kaana tawwaaba” indeed Allah is The Most Gracious and Merciful. No matter how big the sins of the persons are, their request for forgiveness will be accepted by Rabbul Alamin. As written in Shahih Bukhari, when Rasul S.A.W heard the news that his comrades said Sa’ad radiyallahu anhum declared, “Whoever dares to get closer to my wife and be together with my wife, I will behead them with this sword”. The comrades informed Rasul S.A.W, “O’ Rasulullah, this Sa’ad wants to make his own rules,” something like that. The Prophet S.A.W changed the topic of conversation into something gentle, while declaring “are you all confused about Sa’as being jealous and over protective?, I would even more jealous to you all compared to Sa’ad being protective towards his wife”. Sa’ad’s love towards his wife is far less meaningful compared to my love towards all of you and I am more protective to all of you, said Rasul S.A.W. What is the meaning? I would love and even more protective. For example, if Sa’ad saw other men together with his wife, he would attack them with a sword, hence Rasul S.A.W would never let us alone, there are many of his followers in hell, no matter how big their sins are, Rasul S.A.W would fight for them, fight and struggle for them all until there are none of his people left, as he will freed them all from hell. This shows how big it is the love and protectiveness from Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W towards all of us. “Laqad jaa akum rasulun min anfusikum a’ziizun a’laihi maa a’nittum hariishun a’laikum bil mu’miniina raufurrahiim,” has come to you all, a Prophet who has deep thoughts about the catastrophes that all of you have, very protective to you all and he is very gentle towards faithful people. QS. At Taubah : 128. As written in Shahih Muslim, when Nabiyullah Ibrahim a.s gave up on his followers who didn’t believe in Allah and Nabiyyullah Isa a.s gave up on his followers who didn’t believe in Allah and committed sins, the tears of The Prophet S.A.W fell down. Jibril (Gabriel) alaihis salam came down when The Prophet S.A.W cried while reciting, “ummatiy..ummatiy..”. Even in the book written by Imam Nawawi in Syarh Nawawi ala Shahih Muslim, Prophet S.A.W called “ummatiy..ummatiy”, it means Rasul S.A.W didn’t want to be separated from his followers. He S.A.W raised his hands and prayed to Allah “ummatiy..ummatiy..”, Jibril a.s came down to earth, “what makes you cry, O’ Rasulullah?”, Rasul said “all Prophets are free from duties and give up on their followers who committed sins while I don’t have the heart to let go my followers who committed sins, O’ Jibril”. Hence Jibril returned to Allah and reported “O’ Rabb, Muhammad S.A.W didn’t have the heart and could let go his followers who committed sins, always like that, he still want to defend his followers who are sinners”. Thus Allah S.W.T commanded Jibril to return to The Prophet S.A.W “kindly inform Muhammad, I will not disappoint him and will never make him sad”. Therefore The Prophet S.A.W will never have the followers who pass away as Moslem but committed sins, no matter how long they will be tortured in their graves and the fire of hell because of their sins, they will eventually arrive in heaven with the syafa’at from Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. We perform silent prayer towards Allah S.W.T, may Allah S.W.T extend our longing feelings towards Prophet Muhammad S.A.W and Allah S.W.T. because after Prophet S.A.W said “I am more jealous (over protective) towards all of you, compared to Sa’ad” hence Rasul S.A.W continued his hadits “indeed Allah is even more protective that I am”. Allah loves us even more, therefore Allah created Prophet Muhammad S.A.W as the sign of His love towards us. Ya Rahman Ya Rahim make our soul always respond towards the calls of Your longing feeling, we have heard Your statement O’ Allah “Man ahabba liqaa’iy ahbabtu liqa’ah, whoever long for meeting up with Allah, Allah also long for meeting them,” as written in Shahih Bukhari. Rabbiy, grow the longing feeling within the soul of all Moslems, make our breath decorated with longing feeling for You, and make such longing feeling remove all sins, get rid of all catastrophes and bad luck, throw away all of our problems and troubles. Ya Rahman Ya Rahim kindly ensure all of our face will be brightened by the light of Your beauty on Yaumal qiyamah, those dazzling faces on Judgment Day, only staring at Allah Jalla Wa Alla. They are staring at the magnificence of Allah, the light of Allah’s beauty, light up their faces while there are empty and dark faces, they know that they will be returned to misery. Rabbiy kindly ensure that our face will be luminously bright with Your light, make sure that we extend our relationship with Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W, make sure we will be meeting up with The Prophet S.A.W at the palace of Rasulullah S.A.W, the most lavish palace in heaven, the palace of Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W, the highest palace in heaven is the palace of Sayyidina Muhammad S.A.W. Kindly ensure that we will always attend the noble majelis, majelis taklim, majelis maulid, and majelis shalawat. Kindly ensure that we will be together with Rasulullah S.A.W. Ya Rahman Ya Rahim Ya Dzaljalali wal ikram, we light up the fire of love within our soul in which may You protect us from all disasters and catastrophes, pour on us the Blessing and Easiness, prosperity in the word and beyond, happiness in the world and beyond, easiness in the world and beyond, magnificence in the world and beyond, welfare in the world and beyond. O’ The Owner of the world and beyond, O’ The Creator of the whole world and beyond, O’ Thy who creates the world and ends it with Judgment Day, O’ The Owner of name since the offspring of Adam go through the world and beyond, kindly ensure our safety in the world and beyond. Faquuluuu jamii’an (recite this together) Ya Allah, Ya Allah..Ya Allah..Ya Allah.. Faquuluuu jamii'an (recite this together) Laillahailallah Laillahailallah Laillahailallah Muhammadurrasulullah. Our program is followed by together praying for all Moslems, as mentioned in hadits written in Shahih Muslim, Rasul S.A.W declared “whoever prays for his Moslem brother, the angels recite “amin walaka mitsluh” amin and for you what you have prayed for your brother.” We pray for the wellbeing of all Moslems, those who already passed away, and Moslems who suffer from tortures in their grave, may they be given easiness by Allah S.W.T. Those who are already comfortable may be given more pleasures, and for those are still alive on this earth, may Allah eliminate all troubles, sadness and catastrophes, and be given help by Allah S.W.T. Therefore ladies and gentlemen, we pray for all Moslems, and as big as the number of these Moslems, each of their good deeds will return to us. Hence may Allah answer our prayer and within this prayer there is a hope, requesting the authorities to bring wisdom and prosperity for all of us. The prayer requesting Allah, to give us the leaders who can demolish tyranny and help the weak, the leaders who love faithful people and fight for dignity and justice in this biggest Moslem country in the world. Washollallahu ala Sayyidina Muhammad Nabiyyil Ummiy wa Shohbihi wa Sallam. Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
