Telaga Al-Kautsar, Ini Gambarannya Berdasarkan Alquran dan Hadis

Ilustrasi. Foto: Instagram Marwaatik

APA yang terbersit ketika mendengar kata ‘surga’? Pastinya segala sesuatu yang terkait dengan kehidupan abadi yang penuh kebahagiaan, kesenangan, dan kenikmatan yang tiada tandingannya di dunia.

Seperti apa kenikmatan yang disajikan di surga?

Hal itu digambarkan dalam Alquran dan hadis. Dalam Hadis Qudsi yang diriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah  disebutkan bahwa Allah SWT berfirman:

“Aku (Allah) telah menyediakan untuk hamba-hamba-Ku yang saleh suatu balasan (surga) yang belum pernah terlihat oleh mata, belum pernah terdengar oleh telinga, dan belum pernah terlintas di dalam hati.” (HR Al-Bukhari)

Artikel Terkait

Al-Qur’an juga menyebutkan tentang surga. Disebutkan bahwa surga itu seluas langit dan bumi. Di dalamnya tersaji keindahan, kenikmatan dan kenyamanan bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa.

“Dan bersegeralah kamu kepada ampunan dari Tuhanmu dan kepada surga yang luasnya seluas langit dan bumi yang disediakan untuk orang-orang yang bertakwa.” (QS Ali Imran: 133)

“Di dalamnya (surga) mereka duduk bertelekan di atas dipan-dipan (yang indah), mereka tidak merasakan di dalamnya (teriknya) matahari dan tidak pula dingin yang bersangatan.” (QS Al-Insan: 13)

BACA JUGA:  Berkunjung ke Telaga Rasulullah

Abu Hurairah berkata bahwa Rasulullah SAW bersabda:

“Bahwa dinding-dinding surga itu batu-bata dari perak dan emas. Tanahnya pohon kimkuma (za’faran) dan buminya adalah kasturi.” (HR Al-Bazzar)

Wangi surga ini dapat dicium dari jarak perjalanan 100 tahun. Masya Allah!

Dalam beberapa riwayat, surga juga digambarkan memiliki banyak telaga dan sungai. Sungai-sungai surga ini memancar dari bawah-bawah bukit. Salah satu sungai yang termansur di surga adalah telaga Al-Kaustar.

Seperti apa telaga Al-Kautsar itu?

Ketika Isra’ dan Mi’raj, Rasulullah SAW pernah melihat telaga Al-Kautsar ini. Sungai tersebut dilingkari oleh bukit-bukit yang terdiri dari permata-permata dan tanahnya dari wewangian yang paling wangi. Tepian sungainya terdiri dari emas sedangkan anak-anak batunya dari mutiara.

Diriwayatkan dari Anas bin Malik, Nabi SAW bersabda:

بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَسِيرُ فِي الجَنَّةِ، إِذَا أَنَا بِنَهَرٍ، حَافَتَاهُ قِبَابُ الدُّرِّ المُجَوَّفِ، قُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا الكَوْثَرُ، الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ رَبُّكَ. فَإِذَا طِينُهُ -أَوْ طِيبُهُ- مِسْكٌ أَذْفَ

“Ketika kami berjalan di surga, tiba-tiba ada sungai yang pinggirnya berupa kubah dari mutiara berongga. Aku bertanya, ‘Apa ini, wahai Jibril?’’ Jibril menjawab, ‘Inilah Al-Kautsar yang Allah Ta’ala berikan untukmu.’ Ternyata tanahnya atau bau wanginya terbuat dari minyak misk adzfar.” (HR. Al-Bukhari)

Dalam riwayat lain Nabi SAW bersabda, “Al-Kautsar adalah sebuah sungai di dalam surga yang kedua tepinya dari emas. Airnya mengalir di atas mutiara. Tanahnya lebih wangi dari misk. Airnya lebih manis dari madu. Dan warnanya lebih putih dari salju.” (HR. Att-Turmudzi 3361)

BACA JUGA:  Di Telaga itu, Rasulullah Menanti Umatnya yang Kehausan

Barangsiapa meminum air dari Al-Kautsar ini walau hanya sekali teguk, maka dia tidak merasakan haus untuk selama-lamanya.

Tentang telaga Al-Kautsar, Anas bercerita bahwa Rasulullah  SAW  tertidur di atas tikar jerami, tiba-tiba sambil mengangkat kepalanya Baginda tersenyum. Anas bertanya, “Mengapa engkau tertawa ya Rasulullah?”

Beliau menjawab, “Ayat yang diturunkan kepadaku tadi (yang bermaksud): “Sesungguhnya Kami telah memberikan kepadamu nikmat yang banyak (Al-Kautsar), maka dirikanlah salat karana Tuhanmu; dan berkorbanlah. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang membenci kamu dialah yang terputus.” (Surah Al-Kautsar: 1-3).

Kemudian baginda Nabi bertanya, “Adakah engkau tahu apa itu Al-Kautsar?”

Anas menjawab, “Allah dan Rasul-Nya yang lebih tahu.”

Lalu Nabi menerangkan, “Al-Kausar itu satu sungai yang dijanjikan kepadaku oleh Allah, pada sungai itu banyak kebajikan. Di atasnya sebuah kolam (Al-Haudi) yang akan datang umatku kepadanya. Bejananya banyak sebanyak bintang-bintang di langit.” (HR Muslim)

Imam At-Tarmidzi meriwayatkan, Nabi SAW bersabda, “Bahwa masing-masing Nabi itu mempunyai telaga. Mereka ini bangga membanggakan manakah yang lebih banyak orang datang. Dan aku mengharap, bahwa adalah aku yang terbanyak orang datang.”

Demikian sekilas gambaran telaga Al-Kautsar yang disampaikan oleh Nabi SAW. []

There are several different stations pictured below and this is the second of several posts where I will show you the beauty of the Moscow Metro.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
