Narative Text about Monkey and crocodile

Monkey and crocodile

One day a monkey wanted to cross a river. He saw a crocodile in the river, so he asked the crocodile to take him across the other side. The crocodile told the monkey to jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river.
Now, the crocodile was very hungry, so when it was in the middle of the river, it stopped and said to the monkey, ”Monkey, my father is very sick. He must eat the heart of the monkey. Then he will be strong again.”
The monkey thought for a while. Then he told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank.
“What’s for?” asked the crocodile.
“Because I didn’t bring my heart with me,” said the monkey. “I left it under the tree, near some coconuts.”
So, the crocodile turned around and swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back and climbed up to the top of a tree.
“Where is your heart?” asked the crocodile.
“You are foolish,” the monkey said to the crocodile. “Now I am free and you have nothing.”
The monkey told the crocodile not to try to fool him again. The crocodile swam away, hungry.

Batas Akhir waktu shalat isya

Kepada Ustadz atau Ustadzah majalah Syariah semoga Allah selalu merahmati dan tetap istiqamah. Ana ada sedikit pertanyaan yang ana kurang mengerti dan pahami karena sedikitnya ilmu yang ana punyai.
Pertanyaannya, sebenarnya batas akhir shalat Isya itu kapan sih, karena sering ana lihat teman ana shalat Isya sampai jam 03.00 pagi bahkan sudah mendekati fajar?
Demikian pertanyaan dari ana. Jazakumullah khairan katsira

Dijawab oleh:
Al Ustadz Luqman Baabduh
Para ulama berbeda pendapat tentang batasan akhir shalat Isya’:
o Pendapat pertama, batas akhir waktu shalat Isya adalah sampai dengan seperempat malam yang pertama;
o Pendapat kedua, batas akhir waktu shalat Isya adalah sampai dengan sepertiga malam yang pertama;
o Pendapat ketiga, batas akhir waktu shalat Isya adalah sampai dengan pertengahan malam;
o Pendapat keempat, batas akhir waktu shalat Isya adalah sampai terbit fajar yang kedua.
Dari sekian pendapat ini, yang paling rajih (kuat) insya Allah adalah pendapat ketiga, yaitu pendapat yang menyatakan bahwa batas akhir waktu shalat Isya adalah hingga pertengahan malam. Hal ini didasarkan pada hadits Abdillah bin ‘Amr bin Al ‘Ash, yang diriwayatkan Al Imam Muslim, bahwa Rasulullah sholallohu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda :
“… dan akhir dari waktu shalat Isya adalah sampai dengan pertengahan malam.” (HR. Muslim no.172)
Apa yang terkandung dalam hadits ini tidaklah bertentangan dengan hadits Ibnu ‘Abbas, sebagaimana yang diriwayatkan At Tirmidzi dan Abi Daawud, bahwa Rasulullah sholallohu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda :
“Dan akhir dari waktu shalat Isya adalah setelah mencapai sepertiga malam (yang pertama).” (HR Abu Tirmidzi dan Abu Dawud)
Hal ini dikarenakan sepertiga malam yang pertama, masih merupakan bagian dari setengah malam yang disebutkan dalam hadits Abdillah bin ‘Amr bin Al ‘Ash, sebagaimana telah disebutkan oleh Al Imam As Syaukaani t dalam kitabnya Ad Daroori Al Mudhiiah, jilid I hal. 175-176.
Adapun tentang pendapat yang menyatakan bahwa batasan akhir waktu shalat Isya sampai terbitnya fajar kedua, maka telah berkata Al Imam Al Hafidz Ibnu Hajar  dalam Fathul Baari jilid II hal. 244: Aku tidak mendapatkan adanya satu hadits pun yang jelas dan shahih, yang menjelaskan bahwa waktu akhir shalat Isya adalah sampai terbitnya fajar kedua.
Begitu pula Al Imam Al Bukhari  telah menyebutkan dalam shahihnya; Baab Waqtil ‘Isyaa’i ilaa Nishfil Laili () yaitu bab yang menjelaskan tentang waktu akhir shalat Isya, bahwasanya waktu akhir shalat Isya adalah sampai pertengahan malam.
Untuk lebih lengkapnya mengenai bantahan atas pendapat yang menyatakan bahwa waktu Isya berlanjut hingga terbit fajar kedua, maka dapat dilihat dalam Kitab Tamaamul Minnah hal. 141-142 yang ditulis As Syaikh Al Albani.
Wallahu a’lamu bisshawaab.

All About Water by Gyan Insanial Givvary

Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. Its molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at ambient conditions, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces.[1][2] Under nomenclature used to name chemical compounds, Dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific name for water, though it is almost never used.[3]
Water covers 70.9% of the Earth's surface,[4] and is vital for all known forms of life.[5] On Earth, 96.5% of the planet's water is found mostly in oceans; 1.7% in groundwater; 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland; a small fraction in other large water bodies, and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation.[6][7] Only 2.5% of the Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.[8]
Water on Earth moves continually through the hydrological cycle of evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land.
Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms. Access to safe drinking water has improved over the last decades in almost every part of the world, but approximately one billion people still lack access to safe water and over 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation.[9] There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita.[10] However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability.[11] A recent report (November 2009) suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%.[12] Water plays an important role in the world economy, as it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation. Approximately 70% of the fresh water used by humans goes to agriculture.[13]

Procedure Text about Making Candles

Title : Making Candles

Tool and Ingredient :

• wax moulds, 
• wick, 
• dye discs, 
• essential oils, 
• and a double boiler.

Steps :

• First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into flames, you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan.
• Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimetres sticking out of the hole in the bottom.
• After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
• Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one go, to minimise spillage and air bubbles.
• Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax.
• Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
• Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.
