Such a learned scholar of Islam (‘ALEEM) is not to be likened with
those academics or intellectuals of today, for they are foremost people
who are always striving to connect themselves with Allah SWT and
being convinced of the Reality (HAQIQAH) that they are forever (FAQIR
-ILALLAAH) in state of poverty before Allah – seeking and beseeching
His Mercy (RAHMAH), Generosity (KARAMAH), Subtle Preservation
(LATAIF) and hoping to Please Allah (MARDHATILLAH), etc.
They are people of Remembrance (AHLUDZ-DZIKR) , the ones who are
not easily distracted by the conundrum or hustle-bustle of the worldly
life which tend to make many people to forget their true purpose for
existing, and the inevitable meeting with their Lord Maker in the
Hereafter.All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2016))

We have to admit that many of us tend to be complacent, satisfied
with our being a Muslim, priding ourselves as though we have
somewhat contributed (doing a favour) by adding to the numbers of
Muslims in the world.
This is sheer arrogance if devoid of the realization that it is indeed
Allah’s SWT guidance and power that made our being Muslim
possible. We should instead work upon our sense of gratitude
(SHAKUR) and strive to seek knowledge and understanding to reach to
a conviction (YAQEEN) of true believer (MU’-MEEN).
This requires, not merely knowing but acting upon – the responding to
the teaching of Al-Islam – which permeates every facets of our life.
This (our responding) , is the true LIFE – according to Allah SWT.

Allah SWT even highlighted one of the most important favour for us to
be grateful for, to rejoice, to appreciate its true value and strive in our
entire life to celebrate and live up to – i.e. to refer to His sending our
Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص as the EDUCATOR par excellence.
And the nature of EDUCATION of the DEEN is throughout our whole life.
Note: It even stipulates the proper approaches – (which alludes to
ADAB), and the ultimate attainment is in the learning of the KITAB (Al-
Qur’an) and AL-HIKMAH (the Prophetic Wisdom).
Although HIKMAH is referring to SUNNAH AN-NABAWWIYYAH, yet the
Qur’anic usage of the term AL-HIKMAH must be profoundly
understood, not relegated simplistically to be mere learning or quoting
of Qur’an, Ahadith and As-Sunnah alone.

"I have been sent with JAWAMI’ AL-KALEEM (i.e., the shortest expression
carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe (fear
cast into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of
the treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand."
(Hadith reported by Bukhary)
JAWAMI'-AL-KALEEM means (“comprehensive
speech”) that Allah SWT has granted the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص ability to
speak in the shortest expression carrying the widest meanings;
expressions in one or two statements or thereabouts the
numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed
before him.
This epitomizes the Wisdom (AL-HIKMAH) granted to our Prophet
Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص .
In this module we shall try to reflect upon the significance as in just
one Hadith – the Prophet Muhammad’s ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص advice to a
Sahaabiy Abu Dzar al-Ghifari r.a., which we hope Allah SWT will

As in the famous Hadith of Jibra’il a.s. from which our basic beginners
(FARDHU ‘AIN ) course curriculum was based on, I would like to propose
for this module on “TAFAQQUH” this time to deeply reflect upon each
of the key aspects (terms) our Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص used in this
(chosen) Hadith and then elucidate their significance and wisdom
beautifully regarding Islamic teachings as a total way of life (AD-DEEN).
I believe in the consistency of our Prophet’s advice, which seminally
contain gems which are in fact beautifully elaborated upon in the rest of
the other teachings of Islam. This brings up the wisdom (AL-HIKMAH).
“… and teaching them the Book and Wisdom”

In the first part of the advice (of the Hadith to Abu Dzar r.a.) , the
Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said (as in Hadith mentioned above):
“Renew the ship, for verily the ocean is deep”
In this module, we would pick up the key words as the theme to be
elaborated viz. JADDID then AL-SAFEENAH
then AL-BAHR and then ‘AMEEQ.
Then we would , insha-Allah, continue to do the same elucidation
(reflections) for each subsequent (phrase) advice in the same Hadith.
