Sifat-Sifat Wanita Ahli Syurga
Sebuah hadis Nabi menyatakan:
Daripada Anas, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud:
(Hadis Riwayat Ahmad)
Menurut hadis di atas sekurang-kurangnya ia telah menggariskan empat dasar atau sifat utama yang menjadi teras bagi seorang wanita muslimah memasuki syurga, iaitu menunaikan kewajipannya kepada Allah dalam makna melaksanakan ibadah-ibadah yang diwajibkan ke atasnya seperti sembahyang, puasa, dan lain-lain ibadah wajib yang mampu dilaksanakan.
Sebuah hadis menyebutkan bahawa sembahyang adalah perkara pertama yang akan disoal di hari Kiamat.
Daripada Abu Hurairah Radhiallahu Anhu, Nabi Sallallahu Alahi Wasallam bersabda:
(Hadis riwayat at-Tirmizi)
Disamping menunaikan kewajipan kepada Allah, menunaikan hak dan kewajipan kepada suami juga merupakan hal yang tidak boleh diabaikan oleh seorang wanita.
Tertunainya hak dan tanggungjawab suami barulah akan turun keredhaan dan rahmat Allah kepadanya. Menjaga kehormatan diri juga merupakan hal yang digariskan oleh hadis di atas. Antara hal-hal yang boleh diketegorikan dalam konteks menjaga kehormatan itu ialah mempunyai sifat pemalu, jika suaminya keluar dia akan menguruskan dan menjaga dirinya dan harta suaminya dengan amanah. Bila suaminya datang kepadanya dia akan menjaga mulut daripada menyebutkan perkataan yang tidak elok didengar.
Sebuah hadis Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam menyatakan bahawa:
salah satunya dikeluarkan, yang satu lagi juga akan hilang serentak."
(Hadis Riwayat Baihaqi)
Maksud hadis ini ialah jika kesopanan atau sifat malu sudah hilang, iman juga akan hilang bersama-samanya. Betapa besarnya pengaruh antara kesopanan dan keimanan kepada diri seorang wanita itu, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam menegaskan dengan sabda baginda:
Taat kepada suami merupakan satu lagi sifat wanita yang digambarkan oleh hadis yang dipaparkan di awal makalah ini. Taat kepada suami adalah tanggungjawab isteri yang wajib di sempurnakan. Sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh al-Imam Bazzar Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda:
berperang dan bertempur dengan musuh-musuh Islam di medan pertempuran, tetapi sedikit sangat daripada isteri-isteri yang menyempurnakan
hak-hak suami mereka."
(Hadis riwayat Al Imam Bazzar)
Isteri adalah pusat dan sumber kebahagiaan dan ketenteraman di dalam sebuah rumahtangga. Ia perlu mempunyai sifat-sifat sabar dan perhatian yang sepenuhnya kepada suami dan juga anak-anak.
Sikap inilah yang boleh mewujudkan suasana yang tenang, aman dan damai dalam rumahtangga. Dalam hal ini, para isteri sayugialah akan sentiasa bersikap baik kepada suami. Saidina Abu Bakar Radhiallahu Anhu meriwayatkan bahawa Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam pernah bersabda:
Selain itu, Saidina Ali Radhiallahu Anhu meriwayatkan sebuah hadis mengenai setiap isteri yang tidak menghormati status suaminya.
walaupun dia berpuasa selama itu siang hari dan bersembahyang pada malamnya."
(Hadis Riwayat Imam Majah dan An-Nasai)
Berdasarkan huraian ringkas di atas, para wanita semestinyalah mengamalkan sikap taat dan bertakwa kepada Allah, bertanggungjawab kepada suami dan menjaga kehormatan dirinya. Semoga dengan itu, akan mudahlah mereka mendapat rahmat dan keredhaan Allah. Rahmat dan redha Allah itulah yang akan menjamin kebahagian hidupnya di dunia dan di akhirat.

Ibadah Puasa
Setiap muslim mukallaf wajib berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan. Adapun orang yang sedang haid atau nifas, puasanya tidak sah dan keduanya wajib mengqadla puasa yang mereka tinggalkan.
Bagi musafir (yang mengadakan perjalanan yang mencapai jarak qashar), dia boleh berbuka (tidak berpuasa) meskipun perjalanan tersebut tidak memberatkannya, demikian pula bagi orang yang sakit, hamil atau menyusui yang merasa berat dan sulit apabila dia berpuasa, boleh berbuka tapi wajib mengqadla puasanya.
Diwajibkan bagi orang yang berpuasa supaya berniat setiap hari. Niat tersebut wajib dilakukan pada malam hari dan wajib dijelaskan niatnya.
Orang yang berpuasa wajib menahan dari:
1. Melakukan jima’.
2. Istimna’/onani (mengeluarkan mani dengan tangan misalnya).
3. Muntah dengan sengaja.
4. Murtad.
5. Memasukkan sesuatu sampai pada bataskerongkongan kecuali air liur yang suci.
6. Tidak gila, meskipun sebentar.
7. Tidak pengsan selama satu hari penuh. Tidak sah puasa yang dilakukan pada dua hari raya (Idul fitri dan idul adlha), hari tasyriq (11, 12,13 Dzulhijjah), paruh terakhir dari bulan sya’ban, pada hari syak (30 sya’ban), kecuali apabila orang tersebut menyambung puasa yang dia lakukan dengan harihari sebelumnya, atau karena puasa qadla, atau nadzar, atau puasa yang biasa dia lakukan (seperti puasa isnin– khamis)
Orang yang membatalkan puasanya pada bulan Ramadhan tanpa ada rukhshah (keringanan yang diberikan dalam syar’) dengan melakukan jima’, maka dia berdosa dan harus mengqadla puasa tersebut segera setelah idul fitri serta diwajibkan baginya membayar kaffarah (seperti kaffarah Zhihar), yaitu: memerdekakan budak, apabila dia tidak mampu maka berpuasa dua bulan berturut–turut apabila dia tidak mampu maka dia harus memberi makan 60 orang miskin, masing–masing sebanyak satu mud gandum atau makanan pokok daerah tersebut. Satu mud adalah cakupan dua telapak tangan orang yang berbadan sedang.

Use of Mineral in Daily Life
What is a mineral? Mineral is any naturally formed, inorganic solid, that has a specific chemical composition and distinct crystal structure. To be a mineral, a substance must meet five requirements. A mineral is naturally formed and inorganic. On top of that, a mineral must be has specific chemical composition. This means that mineral must be either chemical element or they must be chemical compounds containing atoms in specific ratio formula. Besides that, a mineral has a characteristic crystalline structure. Over 3000 types of mineral have been identified by the geologist. Just want you to know, there are mineral that very useful to our daily life.
Based on current consumption, it is estimated that you and every other person in the world will use more than a million of rocks, minerals and metal during your lifetime. As the example, we use over 800 pounds of lead that is primarily used in the construction of batteries. Also used as a radiation shielding during x-ray treatment by your doctor and dentist and as a protective shield on your TV screen to protect you from radiation from that source. Also, we use over 2728,000 pounds of salt that are use in food preservation as the result of almost all canned and frozen food contain salt. Moreover, to enhance the taste of foods and to melt the ice on streets and highways during the winter. Also used in the manufacture of many chemicals, for water treatment, papermaking, soaps and detergents and in petroleum refining.
Aluminum is the most abundant metal element in the Earth’s crust. Bauxite ore is the main source of aluminum and is imported from Guinea, Australia, and, Jamaica. Aluminum is mainly used in making cans and other containers .On top of that, it is also used in the manufacture of lightweight parts for automobiles and airplanes. Besides that, it is used in building construction and in almost every modern appliance found in the home. It is also the active ingredient in many underarm deodorants. Next, is halite. Commonly recognized as salt, halite is used in human and animal diet. We often use halite as food seasoning and food preservation. Food become tasteless if do not use halite. In addition, it is used to make sodium hydroxide, soda ash, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, chlorine, and metallic sodium.
Next mineral that often we use is copper. Copper is often used in electric cables and wires. It is also used in building construction. In addition, copper is use in switches, plumbing, heating and electrical and electronic components. There are also widely used in electrical and electronic appliances. As example, is water heater, water cooler and iron. In industrial sides, copper also used in industrial machinery and equipment, and also have been used for making coins, and jewelry. Leading producers are Chile and United States. On top of that, zinc is one of common mineral use in dailylife. One of the primary uses of zinc is as a protective coating on steel used to manufacture things such as automobile frames and bumpers. This is because to prevent corrosion and oxidation or rusting. It is also used as an alloy metal with copper to make brass, and for galvanizing iron used in making nails and roofing material that will not corrode when exposed to the weather.
My next view is iron or ferum. Almost all of the things in our daily life are surrounding by iron. The formation of iron from two main mineral that are hematite and magnetite. A primary ore of iron. Hematite is processed to produce iron which is used to make steel that is used in everything from automobiles to flatware to the machinery used to make almost everything else we use. Many different minerals can be combined with iron in producing steel. Each provides a different set of valuable properties to the finished product. A familiar example is stainless steel. Steel is used in the manufacture of such things as kitchen appliances, furniture, tools, bridges, buildings, automobiles, construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, highway construction, shipbuilding, trains, and railroads. Can you imagine life would be like without steel. The other primary ore of iron is magnetite. Magnetite is often used in making steel, nails, kitchen appliances, furniture, tools, bridges, buildings, automobiles, construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, highway construction, shipbuilding, trains, and railroads. If is also used as the production of magnetic materials. The update information, it is also used as magnetic bracelet as a medical purposes. As we conclude, hematite and magnetite is very important to our daily life.
Next is the mineral that we used as jewelry. First is gold. Gold is used in dentistry as the production of gold tooth. It is commonly used in jewelry. At this stage, gold has become very expensive. For economics sides, gold has become an asset of the country. It is also used in the production of medallions and coins. Also, it is used in intricate circuitry for scientific and electronic instruments such as computers. It is also used in the electroplating industry. Second is silver. Silver is used in photography. In chemistry, Silver or argentums is used in electrical and electronic products because of its very high conductivity. It is also used in sterling silverware, electroplated ware, jewelry and coins. Next is diamond. One of the native elements. The diamond is the hardest mineral that is measured in Moh’s Scale Hardness as 10. It is used as the gem. This is because, diamond has high refractive index and as the beautiful shiny preferences. As but not least is corundum. Corundum or the common name is ruby, also used as the production of the gem.
There are also many types of mineral that we use every day. Fluorite is used in the production of hydrofluoric acid and the source of the fluoride in our favorite toothpaste. Lime stone is used as dimension stone in buildings and as a component of cement which is used in the construction of everything from homes and sidewalks to bridges and skyscrapers. Lithium as the one of the substance in batteries. Sulphur as the fertilizer. We can conclude, our life is surrounding by the minerals.
As the conclusion, I hope we can preserve and conserved our earth from pollution as the result that we can save the production of minerals. Then, use mineral wisely and deliberately. Minerals are important to our life. Can you imagine life without minerals? Think twice.
