Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated:

I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.

 حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى عُضْوًا تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ جَسَدِهِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى ‏"‏‏.

Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it."

Recap 2019: ISDEV Public Lectures

The year 2020 is seeing numerous changes in our daily lives. However, the Centre for Islamic Development Management Studies (ISDEV), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is determined to ensure that its pursuit of academic, research and service excellence related to Islam and the affairs of the Muslims remains a top priority.

In these uncertain days brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic forcing all to embrace the new normal, ISDEV is able to withstand these trying times by adopting, adapting and assimilating these changes - digital and online platforms - opening new horizons for ISDEV outreach.

Although the tumultuous year of 2020 is nearing its end, ISDEV takes this opportunity to take a journey down on memory lane at the ISDEV Public Lectures held for 2019. The ISDEV Public Lecture is a series of face-to-face public lectures which is open to the general public to participate in a scholarly platform.

ISDEV intends to continue providing such scholarly pursuit through ISDEV Public Lecture, now on online platform soon, with scholars and experts from within and outside the country.

In shaa Allah.

Prof Dr Ataul Huq Pramanik delivered a public lecture on Revisiting Islamization of Economics on 19 April 2019 (Friday)  in one of his sessions during his visit to Malaysia.

Public Lecture on the "Conceptual Framework of Islamic Sustainable Development Planning" by Dr Atih Rohaeti Dariah (Deputy Rector II, UNISBA). Female empowerment was obviously felt during the session as it was mainly attended by academicians, students and the public of the female gender.

ISDEV Research Discourse Series delivered by Tuan Guru Bajang Dr Muhammad Zainul Majdi with tittle "Between the ecology and the economics: Where do politics stand?" at the Cahaya Complex of USM

The one day intensive ISDEV-IIIT Texbooks Writing Workshop incorporating a session with Professor Dr. Roosfa Hashim on the Method & Techniques of Developing Text Book and Teaching Materials followed by a session with Professor Dr. Aslam Haneef on Integration of Knowledge: Islamization, Relevantization and the Need for Teaching Materials. The Workshop's closing remarks was delivered by Professor Dr. Fauzan Noordin, Director IIIT, East and Southeast Asia (ESEA).

 

May we be given Allah SWT leave to meet face-to-face again.

 حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ - عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ قُتَيْبَةَ ‏"‏ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ ‏

It has been narrated on the authority of Thauban that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

A group of people from my Umma will always remain triumphant on the right path and continue to be triumphant (against their opponents). He who deserts them shall not be able to do them any harm. They will remain in this position until Allah's Command is executed (i.e. Qiyamah is established). In Qutaiba's version of the tradition, we do not have the words:" They will remain in this position."

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: A man asked, “O Messenger of Allah, which emigration is best?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “To emigrate away from that which Allah disapproves. Emigration is of two kinds: the emigration of the resident and the bedouin. As for the emigration of the bedouin, he responds when he is called and he obeys when he is commanded. As for the emigration of the resident, its trial is more severe and its reward is greater.” [Source: Musnad Aḥmad 6774. Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Ahmad Shakir]

Abu Sa’id reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There are four kinds of hearts: a polished heart as shiny as a radiant lamp, a sealed heart with a knot tied around it, a heart that is turned upside down, and a heart that is wrapped. As for the polished heart, it is the heart of the believer and its lamp is the light of faith. The sealed heart is the heart of the unbeliever. The heart that is turned upside down is the heart of a pure hypocrite, for he had knowledge but he denied it. As for the heart that is wrapped, it is the heart that contains both faith and hypocrisy. The parable of faith in this heart is the parable of the herb that is sustained by pure water, and the parable of the hypocrisy in it is the parable of an ulcer that thrives upon puss and blood; whichever of the two is greater will dominate.” [Source: Musnad Aḥmad 10745. Grade: Jayyid (very good) according to Al-Suyuti]
