Sholat Tasbih

Shalat Tasbih merupakan shalat sunnat yang didalamnya pelaku shalat akan membaca kalimat tasbih (kalimat “Subhanallah wal hamdu lillahi walaa ilaaha illallahu wallahu akbar”) sebanyak 300 kali (4 raka'at masing-masing 75 kali tasbih). Shalat ini diajarkan Rasulullah SAW kepada pamannya yakni sayyidina Abbas bin Abdul Muthallib. Namun beberapa ulama berbeda pendapat tentang hal ini.

Hikmah

Hikmah shalat adalah dapat mencegah perbuatan keji dan kemungkaran, tentu saja dari shalat tasbih yang dilakukan dengan hati yang ikhlas diharapkan akan dapat pula seseorang yang melakukannya dicegah atau terjaga dari perbuata-perbuatan yang keji lagi mungkar.

Niat Shalat

Niat shalat ini, sebagaimana juga shalat-shalat yang lain cukup diucapkan didalam hati dan tidak perlu dilafalkan, tidak terdapat riwayat yang menyatakan keharusan untuk melafalkan niat akan tetapi yang terpenting adalah dengan niat hanya mengharapkan Ridho Allah Ta'ala semata dengan hati yang ikhlas dan khusyu.

Cara Pengerjaan

Shalat tasbih dilakukan 4 raka'at (jika dikerjakan malam maka 4 raka'at sekali salam, jika siang 2 raka'at dua salam ) sebagaimana shalat biasa dengan tambahan bacaan tasbih pada saat-saat berikut:
No. Waktu Jml. Tasbih
1 Setelah pembacaan surat al fatihah dan surat pendek saat berdiri 15 kali
2 Setelah tasbih ruku' (Subhana rabiyyal adzim...) 10 Kali
3 Setelah I'tidal 10 Kali
4 Setelah tasbih sujud pertama (Subhana rabiyyal a'la...) 10 Kali
5 Setelah duduk diantara dua sujud 10 Kali
6 Setelah tasbih sujud kedua (Subhana rabiyyal a'la...) 10 Kali
7 Setelah duduk istirahat sebelum berdiri 10 Kali

Jumlah total satu raka'at 75
Jumlah total empat raka'at 4 X 75 = 300 kali

Perbedaan pendapat ulama

Para ulama berbeda pendapat mengenai shalat tasbih, berikut adalah beberapa pendapat mereka :

Pertama: Sholat tashbih adalah mustahabbah (sunnah).

Pendapat ini dikemukakan oleh sebagian ulama penganut Mazhab Syafi'i. Hadits Rasulullah SAW kepada pamannya Abbas bin Abdul Muthallib yang berbunyi:

"Wahai Abbas pamanku, Aku ingin memberikan padamu, aku benar-benar mencintaimu, aku ingin engkau melakukan -sepuluh sifat- jika engkau melakukannya Allah akan mengampuni dosamu, baik yang pertama dan terakhir, yang terdahulu dan yang baru, yang tidak sengaja maupun yang disengaja, yang kecil maupun yang besar, yang tersembunyi maupun yang terang-terangan. Sepuluh sifat adalah: Engkau melaksankan shalat empat rakaat; engkau baca dalam setiap rakaat Al-Fatihah dan surat, apabila engkau selesai membacanya di rakaat pertama dan engkau masih berdiri, mka ucapkanlah: Subhanallah Walhamdulillah Walaa Ilaaha Ilallah Wallahu Akbar 15 kali, Kemudian ruku'lah dan bacalah do'a tersebut 10 kali ketika sedang ruku, kemudian sujudlah dan bacalah do'a tersebut 10 kali ketika sujud, kemudian bangkitlah dari sujud dan bacalah 10 kali kemudian sujudlah dan bacalah 10 kali kemudian bangkitlah dari sujud dan bacalah 10 kali. Itulah 75 kali dalam setiap rakaat, dan lakukanlah hal tersebut pada empat rakaat. Jika engkau sanggup untuk melakukannya satu kali dalam setiap hari, maka lakukanlah, jika tidak, maka lakukanlah satu kali seminggu, jika tidak maka lakukanlah sebulan sekali, jika tidak maka lakukanlah sekali dalam setahun dan jika tidak maka lakukanlah sekali dalam seumur hidupmu" (HR Abu Daud 2/67-68)

Ibnu Ma'in. An-Nasaiy berkata: Ia tidak apa-apa. Az-Zarkasyi berpendapat: "Hadis shahih dan bukan dhaif". Ibnu As-Sholah: "Haditsnya adalah Hasan"

Kedua: Sholat tasbih boleh dilaksanakan (boleh tapi tidak disunnahkan).

Pendapat ini dikemukakan oleh ulama penganut Mazhab Hambali. Mereka berkata: "Tidak ada hadits yang tsabit (kuat) dan sholat tersebut termasuk Fadhoilul A'maal, maka cukup berlandaskan hadits dhaif."

Ibnu Qudamah berkata: "Jika ada orang yang melakukannya maka hal tersebut tidak mengapa, karena shalat nawafil dan Fadhoilul A'maal tidak disyaratkan harus dengan berlandaskan hadits shahih" (Al-Mughny 2/123)

Ketiga: Sholat tersebut tidak disyariatkan.

Imam Nawawi dalam Al-Majmu' berkata: "Perlu diteliti kembali tentang kesunahan pelaksanaan sholat tasbih karena haditsnya dhoif, dan adanya perubahan susunan shalat dalam shalat tasbih yang berbeda dengan shalat biasa. Dan hal tersebut hendaklah tidak dilakukan kalau tidak ada hadits yang menjelaskannya. Dan hadits yang menjelaskan shalat tasbih tidak kuat".

Ibnu Qudamah menukil riwayat dari Imam Ahmad bahwa tidak ada hadis shahih yang menjelaskan hal tersebut. Ibnuljauzi mengatakan bahwa hadits-hadits yang berkaitan dengan shalat tasbih termasuk maudhu`. Ibnu Hajar berkata dalam At-Talkhis bahwa yang benar adalah seluruh riwayat hadits adalah dhaif meskipun hadits Ibnu Abbas mendekati syarat hasan, akan tetapi hadits itu syadz karena hanya diriwayatkan oleh satu orang rawi dan tidak ada hadits lain yang menguatkannya. Dan juga shalat tasbih berbeda gerakannya dengan shalat-shalat yang lain.

Dalam kitab-kitab fiqih mazhab Hanafiyah dan Malikiyah tidak pernah disebutkan perihal shalat tasbih ini kecuali dalam Talkhis Al-Habir dari Ibnul Arabi bahwa beliau berpendapat tidak ada hadits shahih maupun hasan yang menjelaskan tentang shalat tasbih ini.

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (Hindi: कभी अलविदा न कहना, Urdu: کبھی الوداع نہ کہنا, English: Never Say Goodbye) is a film directed by Karan Johar and produced under the Dharma Productions banner. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan and Kiron Kher in pivotal roles. Arjun Rampal and Saira Mohan have cameo roles in the film. The film's score and soundtrack has been composed by the musical trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy with lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is set in New York City. It was filmed over a 90 day shooting period in the USA and a few scenes were shot on 4 large sets in Mumbai's studios. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was released on August 11, 2006.


Synopsis


Dev Saran (Shahrukh Khan), a formerly successful, now injured soccer player, is unhappily married to Rhea (Preity Zinta), who has a high-flying job with a fashion magazine. They have a son named Arjun. Maya (Rani Mukerji) is about to unhappily marry her childhood friend Rishi Talwar (Abhishek Bachchan). Samarjit a.k.a "Sexy Sam" (Amitabh Bachchan) is Rishi's dad, and Kamaljit (Kiron Kher) plays the peppy mom to Dev.

Dev happens to meet Maya before her wedding and despite being strangers, they connect instantly. It could be that the two are unhappy with their partners, it could be that Dev was only too happy to talk of his uncomfortable marriage or it could be that Maya just could not love Rishi and so, found Dev attractive. Whatever the case, the connection between the two remains a glowing spark that re-ignites when they meet four years later.

During those four years, Maya has married Rishi and Dev has met with an accident that leaves him crippled and ends his football career. So when Maya meets Dev the next time, he is bitter - his failed career and failing marriage are festering wounds to which his wife Rhea's professional success is salt. In the Talwar home, things are no better - Maya still does not feel any love for Rishi and feels guilty for her inability to have children.
Dev and Maya realise that their situations are similar and decide to help each other repair their breaking marriages. Things don't work quite as expected however, and they become more and more drawn to each other. At the same time, Rishi and Rhea are working to keep their marriages afloat and are willing to see hope in even the smallest, most innocuous signs from their partners. However, their efforts are insignificant in the face of Maya and Dev's intense unhappiness in their marriages and their growing love for each other.


Dev and Maya give in to a dreamy, coffee-drenched romance and realise they have fallen in love. Which follows with a scene of them sleeping together, although being married to different people. However, when Dev is about to give flowers to Maya, he sees Rhea and gives them to her so she dosent see Maya. He saves one rose for Maya. She takes the rose home and Rishi sees it and Maya gives it to him. Rhea and Rishi now think that their partners really love them and are happy. But after an incident at the ballet that makes Dev intensely jealous, they realize they now feel like they are cheating on each other with their own spouses. This realization brings them to a dramatic point of no return. Shortly afterward, they are caught in an embrace outside the train station by Sam and Kamaljeet.
Sam, having lived the good life for a long, long time ultimately has to bear the punishment of all his excesses - he has a fatal heart attack and as he lies on his death bed, he gives Maya some unconventional advice: he tells her to leave his son Rishi since neither of them are happy in their marriage.

Things come to a head and Dev and Maya decide to leave each other and return to their partners. But this re-union will not be without honesty, so they come clean and confess their extra-marital affair. Rishi and Rhea decide that enough is enough and end their marriages - this doesn't mean that Maya and Dev come together however. They only speak to each other on the phone, and lie to each other, saying that all is well in their marriages.
Three years later, Rishi goes to meet Maya and invites her to his wedding. There Rhea sees Maya for the first time in three years and realises that she and Rishi weren't together as she thought. The news that Dev is still alone, combined with some prodding from Rishi and Rhea convinces Maya to run after Dev. Dev is about to catch a train to Canada when he sees Maya. He hides from her because he has told Maya earlier than he was happy with Rhea and he thinks that she is happily married to Rishi. However, Maya finds him in his seat a few seconds before his train leaves the station. He uses the emergency brakes to get out to meet her. Dev finds out that Maya has been living alone all of that time too and feels very bad. Then they finally get together.

Characters


  • Samarjit Singh Talwar (Sexy Sam) - Samarjit knows how to keep Vulgar and disreputable activities going , and set a revolting example to younger people, but when it comes to family matters that threaten to turn it all into a messy situation, he likes being hypocritical, and behaving as if he can set everyone right by showing them how he leads his life. He is a wasted old man, who does not follow societal rules.
  • Dev Saran - Handicapped, he starts looking at everything with a negative mindset and finds himself unable to enjoy the smallest pleasures given by life. With a feeling of loneliness and disappointment all around him, Dev lashes out at any given opportunity including his wife. But Maya's entry in his life brings along a calming effect.
  • Maya Talwar - Maya's inability to have children and her guilt over this strains her relationship with her husband. Doubting the very essence of the relationship they share, the love they feel for each other and the life they want to live from hereon, Maya finds herself on the crossroads when she meets Dev.
  • Rhea Saran - Rhea is smart, successful and caring. She may not be the usual housewife that is generally accepted from a woman belonging to her social circle but that is hardly a worrying thought for her as she believes that everything counts in an individual's life, with love and luxuries holding equal importance.
  • Rishi Talwar - Rishi too loves Maya enormously and it's her and only her who is of utmost importance to him. But a difficult situation comes his way when he realizes about Maya's handicap. Frustrated and depressed, he has his violent fits that further draw Maya away from him.
  • Kamaljeet Saran - A mix of traditional values and a progressive mindset, she may seem unfazed by the situation at her home but puts her foot down when things go extreme.

Crew

Music

The film has seven songs composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy:

Trivia

  • The story is parallel to the 1984 Hollywood movie Falling in Love, starring Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro.
  • Karan Johar has stated that Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is his original idea and refutes claims that the story has been inspired by Yash Chopra's Silsila (1981) or the Hollywood film Closer (2004).
  • Since Karan Johar considers Kajol his lucky mascot, he made sure that Kajol was present in his film by way of a brief appearance in the song Rock and Roll Soniye.
  • Shibani Bathija who co-wrote the screenplay of this film is also the writer of Fanaa (2006).
  • Like previous Karan Johar movies (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kal Ho Naa Ho), 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' has a four-word title that starts with 'K'.
  • Sony BMG acquired the rights for the music of this film.
  • Yash Raj Films acquire the rights for the film's DVD and VHS releases.
  • The music of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was launched in the United Kingdom on June 12 2006 and was officially released in India on June 16 2006 along with a grand music launch at the IIFA Awards function in Dubai.
  • Riteish Deshmukh originally had a guest appearance in this film, but his scene was cut during the editing process.
  • You can spot director Karan Johar sitting in the train, a few rows behind Shahrukh Khan, during the climactic sequence.
  • The movie holds the record for highest 1st week gross for an Indian movie.
  • At one point in the song "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna," you can see Maya walking before a set of steps on a rainy day in Fort Greene Park. If you look closely, one of the background passersby resembles Rhea.
  • The script of the film has been invited to be included in the library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences or more commonly known as the Oscars [1]. Other films that have made it to the Oscar Library are Parineeta, Salaam Namaste and Phir Hera Pheri.
  • The movie is set in New York City and centers around the train station, yet whenever a train is actually shown, it is a SEPTA train (a regional rail train from the Philadelphia area). The train station interior shots (with the exception of the footage from the great hall in Grand Central Station) are all of Union Station (New Haven) in New Haven, CT or of 30th Street Station in Philadelphia .
  • The soccer game featured at the beginning of the movie took place at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT.
Response


Box Office
The movie emerged to be the biggest worldwide grosser in the history of European cinema beating Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham's five year old record. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna opened in atleast 1,200 screens worldwide. [2]
In the United States it was the leading grosser for a indian film in its history beating out previous leader Khubi Kushi Kabhi Kham making over a million dollars in just one week. In the United Kingdom, drawing £750,000 over the weekend and releasing at number 'one' on the UK Top 10, EDI (a UK-based tracking agency) has officially declared Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna Hindi cinema's biggest opener. Back home, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, with a multi-star cast, has seen a record opening at many places in the country, and the film has made Rs 60 crore (Rs 600 million) in the first week itself. Film-goers' interest in India, however, rapidly waned after the first week [3]. The film's business started to fall alarmingly from the second week in India, but it was very successful overseas. Till date, KANK is the highest overseas grosser Indian film.
The Hindu in its report on 21 August 06 states Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna has collected Rs 72 crore worldwide in the first week of its release and broken all records of the Indian cinema's box-office history.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna has collected $3,275,444 USD in United States (as of 25 September 2006) [4] while in UK it netted an amazing £71,959,584 (as of 6 September 2006). In the US, one big help was due to the fact that the film debuted in 64 theatres, unusually high for a Bollywood film in the US, in cities including not only traditional Bollywood markets, but Miami, Tampa, and Raleigh as well. It was the biggest debut for a limited release film in the US in 2006.
This film, along with Lage Raho Munna Bhai are the joint highest grossing films of 2006. Both films grosed a combine of 90 crore business in India and overseas.

Reviews
In spite of the film's phenomenal commercial success it received fairly mixed reviews. Tough critics were generally positive towards the film. It has only a 5.5 rating on IMDb. The film's commercial success can perhaps be attributed to monumental advanced bookings and the immense hype created by the film's sparkling starcast. The five lead stars got fairly good reviews.

Kontes Dangdut TPI

Kontes Dangdut TPI

Dari Wikipedia Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas berbahasa Indonesia.

Kontes Dangdut TPI atau disingkat KDI adalah suatu ajang pencarian penyanyi dangdut dengan sponsor dari MNC yang bekerjasama dengan TPI. KDI merupakan kontes dangdut terbesar di Indonesia.

Seluruh Kontestan KDI yang telah terseleksi akan dikarantina di sebuah asrama dan diberikan pelatihan-pelatihan berupa koreografi, olah vokal, perfomance, personality dan tata busana. Seluruh kontestan KDI yang telah terseleksi setiap minggunya akan diadu dalam Kontes KDI. Penampilan para kontestan akan dinilai oleh para juri yang diambil dari kalangan penyanyi, artis bahkan pelawak dan pejabat tinggi serta dukungan SMS pemirsa.

Pembawa acaranya adalah Ramzi (musim pertama; musim kedua dan ketiga digantikan Irfan Hakim) dan Ussy Sulistiowati (musim pertama dan kedua; musim ketiga digantikan Asti Ananta karena melahirkan) sedangkan para anggota jurinya berjumlah tiga orang yang setiap minggunya berubah-ubah.

Ajang ini sempat melahirkan bintang Siti KDI yang kemudian menyabet banyak pernghargaan, termasuk dari MTV. Konser grand final KDI-1 sempat menjadi acara musik dengan rating dan share tertinggi tahun 2004, ditonton 40% [rujukan?] pemirsa.


Latar Belakang

Musik dangdut harus menjadi tuan rumah di negeri sendiri. Seperti aliran musik lainnya, regenerasi dalam dangdut mutlak diperlukan untuk kelangsungan dan perkembangan musik itu sendiri. Banyak bibit-bibit penyanyi dangdut potensial di pelosok nusantara yang kurang mendapat kesempatan untuk tampil secara nasional.

TPI, sebagai salah satu televisi swasta yang dikenal lewat berbagai program-program musik dangdut dan kepeduliannya terhadap kemajuan musik dangdut di tanah air, menangkap potensi dan peluang ini dengan mengadakan Kontes Dangdut TPI, atau disingkat KDI.Sebagai acara kontes dangdut, maka acara KDI hanya menampilkan lagu-lagu yang berirama dangdut.

Tahap

Audisi

Audisi dilaksanakan di 7 kota besar di Indonesia yaitu: Jakarta, Bandung, Medan, Makassar, Surabaya, Semarang dan Yogyakarta. Kemudian kota audisi diperbanyak saat musim kedua yaitu Denpasar dan Palembang, dan saat musim ketiga kota audisi bertambah ditambah Banjarmasin, namun dikurang Semarang sehingga peserta audisi di jawa tengah harus audisi di Yogyakarta. Peserta audisi di 9 kota besar di Indonesia itu sendiri sangat sukses, mencapai hampir 30 ribu orang dengan pendaftar tertinggi di kota Jakarta dan Bandung, sedangkan Denpasar dan Yogyakarta terendah

Para peserta yang terdaftar disaring dalam 3 tahapan. Tahapan pertama adalah memilih 50 besar. Peserta di 50 besar tersebut akan menyanyikan setengah sampai tiga perempat lagu yang sudah ditentukan dengan iringan musik. Dari 50 besar akan terpilih 15 besar yang merupakan tahapan kedua. Para peserta yang lolos 15 besar akan diberi beberapa pertanyaan dan menyanyikan sepenggal lagu-lagu dangdut yang berbeda-beda. Tahapan ketiga akan mendapatkan 5 wakil dari tiap kota. Kelima wakil dari tiap kota ini akan bertemu di Jakarta dalam Gerbang KDI.

Wild Card

Di KDI 2, sebenarnya hanya ada 18 tempat untuk masuk ke babak final untuk masing-masing wakil 9 kota audisi. Namun Pihak TPI memberikan suatu kesempatan kepada calon kontestan KDI yang menempati urutan ketiga saat Gerbang KDI di, untuk merebut 2 tempat di Final sehingga jumlah kontestan KDI 2 menjadi genap 20 Orang. dan kejadian ini juga terjadi pada KDI 3. Dan ternyata kontestan yang beruntung pada babak Wild Card KDI 2 adalah Adi Alfaisal dari Medan dan Tatang Kartiwa dari Bandung. sedangkan kontestan yang beruntung pada babak Wild Card KDI 3 adalah Dedi dari Medan dan Lola dari Jakarta.
