Reflection of Leaders

The good or bad of society is determined by its leaders. If the leader is good, then the community will be good. However, if the leader is damaged, the community will be damaged.



The Messenger of Allah has proclaimed, among the signs of Judgment is the surrender of leadership to fools, who do not want to take guidance from the Qur'an and Sunnah, and do not accept advice.

Jabir ibn Abdillah r.a.a narrated, that Rasulullah s.a.w. said to Ka'ab ibn ‘Ajrah," May Allah protect him from the leadership of fools, O Ka'ab "

Ka'ab then asked, "What is meant by the leadership of fools, O Messenger of Allah?".

The Prophet replied, "After I leave later, leaders will emerge who do not follow my instructions nor take my sunnah"

"Whoever justifies their lies and supports their tyranny, then they are not my class and I am not part of them"

"They will not be able to approach my ear. Whoever does not justify their lies and does not support their tyranny, then they belong to my group and I am also part of them, and they will get a part of my ear." (Narrated by Ahmad & Al Bazzar)

What is meant by fools here is a person whose thinking ability is weak, and cannot lead. Don't just manage other people, just manage themselves, they can't.

If the rulers, leaders and public officials like this, the people will be damaged. Liars are considered right, honest people are considered liars, traitors are trusted, people who can be trusted are considered traitors, fools will talk, and smart people keep quiet.

Ash-Sya'bi said, "Judgment Day will not occur until knowledge is considered ignorance and ignorance is considered as science"

The Prophet also said, "The signs of Judgment Day are the removal of good people and the appointment of evil people" (Narrated by the Judge in al-Mustadrak)

Mixing Date Palm With Cucumber

At the time of the Prophet, these vegetables have been used as one of the ingredients for health. Usually, it is combined with fresh dates to maintain health. In a Hadith it is mentioned that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam often did it. From Ayesha that, "the Messenger of Allah often ate cucumbers mixed with wet dates." (Tirmidhi History) In addition to maintaining health, the combination of both is also to increase body weight and change the shape of the body that was originally thin and thinner to become fuller. In a history it is stated that Ayesha Allah (may peace be upon him) when he was about to be met with the Prophet, routinely consumed cucumbers and wet dates to get the ideal body. Understandably, when his body was small and thin. Ayesha said, "My mother treated me so that I looked fat, when she wanted to bring me together with the Messenger of Allah, and the effort did not work out so I ate cucumber with wet dates. Then I became fat wit...
