La Tahzan

Assalamualaikum

Semalam sewaktu tunggu waktu zohor, ana ada dengar sedikit takzirah dekat radio Ikim. Waktu itu adalah slot La Tahzan oleh Ustaz Zainal Abidin. Beliau telah mengupaskan dari buku La Tahzan m/s 50, tajuk 29 iaitu Syurga.


Kita seringkali dengar tentang kisah, dan keadaan di syurga dalam Al-Quran. Ini bukan bermaksud kita beribadat untuk mendapat pahala supaya dapat masuk ke syurga. Tetapi kita tahu bahawa dunia ini semantara dan destinasi akhir kita adalah syurga.
Oleh itu jika kita rasa sedih atau menderita kesusaha, ingatlah kembali nikmat-nikmat syurga yang Allah telah janjikan. Kelaparan bertukar menjadi kekenyangan, kepenatan bertukar menjadi kelegaan.

Manusia yang berakal adalah mereka yang berorentasikan akirat. Seperti dalam surah Ad-Dhuha, ada diselitkan tentang syurga. Sepeti yang kita tahu, akhirat itu lebih baik dan kekal. Syurga tak ada tarikh luput, dan dunia ada. Tetapi kalaulah tarikh luput dunia boleh nampak, macam tarikh luput roti, mesti semua orang akan jadi baik balaka.




orang paling bodaoh pula, mereka yang ingatkan dunia sebagai destinasi terakhir. Dimana dia berfikiran bahawa rumah, nikmat, kejayaan, dan lain-lain adalah miliknya di dunia. Itulah orang yang paling sedih di akhirat nanti. Sebanarnya mereka tidak sedar bahawa dunia yang fanak (binasa) hanya jambatan ke akirat.

Tetapi pernahkah kita merenung dan berfikir keadaan orang-orang di syurga?Pernahkan kita menghayati wahyu -whayu Allah?




Apabila kita ingat kembali tentang keadaan di syurga, pasti nya air mata menjadi kering membeku. Hati pula menjadi tenag. Oleh itu dalam apa jua kesedihan pun, kita hendaklah sentiasa bersabar.

Allah berfirman yang bermaksud: "Selamat sejahtera atasmu kerana kesabaranmu." Maka alangkan nikmatnya tempat kesudahan itu. (Ar-Ra'd:24)

Kita di dunia ini tidak akan terlepas dari ujian. Dan bahawasanya ujian yang kita hadapi itu tidak tertanding dengan nikmat di syurga nanti.

"Friendship":kerana Allah

Bismillah

Seorang lelaki bertanya kepada Rasulullah: "Apakah (amalan) Islam yang terbaik?"...Nabi berkata:"Engkau memberi makan dan memberi salam kepada orang yang engkau kenali dan kepada orang yang engkau tidak kenali." (Hadis Riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Hadis diatas memberi tahu tenteng permulaan ukwah islamiah. Kita sebagai manusia tidak terlepas daripada fitrah yang inginkan kawan dan ingin dijadikan kawan. Tetapi untuk mencari kawan yang baik iaitu mereka mendekatkan kita kepada Allah adalah sukar. Ana sendiri mempunyai masa yang lama untuk megenali dan mempunyai sahabat yang baik. Alhmdulillah bila kita sentiasa berdoa kepada Allah, insyaAllah akan dimakbulkan.

Ana pernah dengan kata-kata seseorang, dia kata "saya tak nak rapat-rapat sangat dengan seseorang sebagai kawan, nanti jealous la, merajuk la, itu la ini la.."




Ana tak berberapa setuju dengan pendapat tersebut, because we should dare to be close to somebody . Even Rasulullah have a bestfriend, Abu Bakar. Kalau dia mempunyai sikap yang negatif, cuba untuk menasihat dan memperbaikikan dia. Apabila tujuan persahabatan adalah kerana Allah, perkara kecil seperti jealous si dia kawan dengan orang lain tidak mudah bangkit. Kita tahu segala kegembiraan, kesedihan, kejayaan yang kita kongsi bersama datang dari Allah.

Tetapi ramai orang zaman sekarang kawan bukan atas dasar ketakwaan. Seperti contoh, kawan kerana kawan tersebut popular, cantik, kaya, pandai. Ada juga kawan sebab nak pikat atau menggatal dengan abangnya, adiknay dan lain-lain. Janganlah kita tergolong dalam golangan tersebut, kalau rasa-rasanya "ye", bertaubat la capat-capat.

Kita manusia yang mempunyai akal sememangnya tahu perkara yang baik dan buruk. Kehidupan di dunia hanya sementara, oleh itu kenapa kita membazirkan masa untuk menjalinkan persahabatan bukan kerana Allah. Hanya berfoya-foya dan bergembira selalu, akan membuat kita menangis di akhirat kelak.

Kita hanya usaha

Alhamdulillah pada khamis yang lepas telah berlangsung final permainan bola sepak dan bola jaring antara rumah sukan. Ana adalah salah satu permain untuk rumah hijau. Pada hari tersebut kami (rumah hijau) telah berlawan dengan rumah biru. Untuk mengathui nombor 3 atau 4. Sebelum permainan bermula, kami bercadang untuk memanaskan badan terlebih dahulu. Dari kepala, tanagan, pinggang dan kaki. Kemudian kami membaca doa bagi rumah hijau supaya setiap langgah akan membawa keberkatan dan hanya Allah kami memohon pertolongan, dalam apa jua pun. Paling akhir, kata semagat dikata bersama-sama, "Akhdar Mumtaz!" Sebaik sahaja wisel berbunyi sama-sama kami melangkah ke kawasan perlawanan dengan bismillah.

Pada awalnya, kami rumah hijau bermain dengan penuh semagat. Sehingga goal mencecah 7-3 bagi masa yang pertama. Apabila masuk sahaja masa kedua, keadaan bagi hijau bertukar. Terlalu banyak kesilapan yang kami telah lakukan. Walaupun bola banyak dapat ditanagan kami, tetapi disebabkan kesilapan yang telah kami lakukan, bola selalu diberi ke tangan biru. Sampai masa tamat, rumah biru telah menewaskan kami.

Walaupun hijau dianggap kalah dalam permain tersebut, tetapi sebenarnya setiap pemain kami dan rumah lain sebernya telah meningkatkan kamahiran bermain bola jaring secara tidak sedar.
Selain itu, kemahiran kerjasama juga telah dipupuk. Bagi rumah hijau pula, kami percaya bahawa ada hikmah disebalik kekalahan. Hanya Allah tahu apa yang terbaik bagi kami. Hidup mesti sentiasa sabar.

Confuse..WHY!

Now I'm not usual as always
My mind are full with choices
Making my high spirit disappearing
In the beginning my ambition was to become a doctor
But my parent wanted me to take religious studies
It's alright,I don't mind as long it brings goodness
However I thought twice
I love science, also religious studies
All in a sudden I was interested with history and Islamic history
I thought back
Isn't there a lot of people who pacifically study religious courses??
Isn't it already enough ?
Oh my GOD!Help me!
All I can do is give all my will to Allah.
Yet, without forgetting effort, doa and istikharah prayer,even if nothing shows
So I guess..this is meant by expressing ourselves in paper
When though it a commonly problem
I always try to become positive, so people around me wouldn't take the burden

"Selemah-lemah manusia ialah
Orang yang tidak boleh mencari sahabat dan
Orang yang lebih lemah dari itu ialah
Orang yang mensia-siakan sahabat yang talah dicari"

(Saidina Ali)

Palestine, Egypt and Israel

Salam,
Alhamdulillah and thanks to my friend who forward this dialogue between Palestine, Egypt and Israel. Also thanks to the writer who wrote this dialogue, cuz it really touches my heart ...I think it's very creative

Palestine : Why did you do this to us?
Egypt : Did what?
Palestine : Stop pretending. You know what I mean.
Egypt : No, I don’t!
Palestine : Fine, let me tell you silly, about the tunnel, why did you block the tunnel?
Egypt : Owh, about that. Sorry, I strongly think that’s my territory, so I have the right to do whatever I want. Furthermore, I just want to stop you from smuggling.
Palestine : Yes I know that’s your territory. But you knew how Israel blocked our supplies for foods, oils and all necessities from coming in, and if not because of the tunnel, we are already died in hunger. Now you want to block the tunnel. How could you do this to us? We are brothers! Please don’t forget that this world is not belong to us, its belong to Allah The Almighty! And He just lend it to us!
Egypt : errr… (feel guilty)...

Then come Israel.

Israel : What’s the problem here?
Palestine : Go away! It’s none of your business!
Israel : It’s my business because you are bullying my friend here! O my friend Egypt, tell me, what’s the problem?
Egypt : emm… (looked down then speak slowly)... Palestine is mad at me because I blocked the tunnel.
Israel : Owh about that. Then why did you afraid? You don’t have to be afraid, I’m here. I will protect you and will always protect you Egypt.
Egypt : (silence, felt ashamed)
Palestine : Egypt, please, we are Muslim, I know you are under pressure from Israel, and I know that you know who’s the real bully here. It’s not me, it’s Israel!
Israel : Hey watch your mouth Palestine, don’t try me!
Palestine : What?! What are you going to do Israel?! What else that could be more worse than what you had done to us on the ‘Nakba’! On 15 May 1948! Don’t you ever dare to forget that date Israel! You came to our land, you established the living of Jews, Zionist acted cruelly and dispelled more than 800 000 Palestinian from our very own country! Not enough with that, you destroyed 478 villages among 580!
Egypt’s face dropped down. He felt so ashamed, guilty, regretted. When Israel saw that, he panicked. His face became red as he was mad. Then immediately he punched Palestine face and Palestine fall to the ground.
Israel : See, I warned u!
Palestine : Why! That’s all that you can do! Do you really think by punching me at my face will make me scared! Not a chance Israel! Not a chance! Like I said Israel, you had done worse to us. Don’t you forget it Israel! And if you pretend to forget it, let me remind you Israel.

(Israel became more panicked. He didn’t know what else that might come from Palestine’s mouth, and he afraid it will affect his relation with Egypt. )
While Palestine got back to his feet and shed the blood on his lips from the punch by Israel, he continued.

Palestine : Do you remember 9 April 1948 Israel? The chaos that you had done at Deir Yassin. DO U REMEMBER?! You came to Deir Yassin with your army and without sympathy you started to burn the village! You burned down our house Israel! Not enough with that, while the house was burning, you waited outside of the house, and when people running out of the house to save themselves from the fire, you shot them at the head! At their head Israel! Without any sympathy! You shot women, old people and kids! The people that you shot without any sympathy. My parents, my children, my wife, my brothers, my sisters, they all were my family Israel!

(At this moment, tears started to run down on the cheek of Palestine, he could not bear it anymore, he felt so sad remembering what Zionist had done to Palestinian.)

Palestine : Why you did that Israel? Why you have to act so cruel Israel? Why you have to shoot the kids while they were trying to save themselves from the burning house? They were scared Israel. They just wanted to save themselves. But you killed them all. What have they (kids) done to you that made you shot them at their head? They did nothing wrong Israel. They were just children. Where’s your humanity Israel? (…Palestine sobbing...)
Egypt started to cry.
Israel panicked that suddenly he shout at Palestine.
Israel : Hey shut your mouth Palestine! That’s enough!

Without care of Israel, Palestine continue in sobbing.

Palestine : My brother Egypt, please, look me in my eyes and tell me that I was wrong. They (while pointing his finger at Israel) are an animal, worse than animal! Have you forget that hundreds of heavily-armed Jews massacred a little village near Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) of 200 Arabs. They raped the women and children, then crushed their heads with rocks until the brain blew out.

(Egypt fall to his knees, he could not barely stand anymore, he felt so weak.)

Israel was surprised. He then hit Palestine face again. This time harder. Palestine fall to the ground. Without waiting, Israel then kick Palestine face, again and again. Israel acted like crazy man who was losing his mind. Palestine was groaning in pain.
Egypt : STOP IT ISRAEL! Please stop! (crying and pleading Israel to stop, he could not bear looking Palestine was hit like that)

But Israel will never stop. He hated Palestine so much. He keep on kicking Palestine. Egypt then felt something wrong when he saw Israel picked up a big stone near him.

Egypt : NO, NO ISRAEL,,,PLEASE DON’T… PLEASE,,,NOO,,!!!

It was too late, Israel hit Palestine face as hard as he could with the stone. Blood burst out all over his face. Israel then became panicked and fled from the scene.





..........(Silence for a moment)..........

Egypt was surprised by the scene that he just saw. Egypt then immediately run to Palestine and hold Palestine head. His face was covered with blood. He was still breathing, but so weak. Palestine was dying.

Egypt (while crying) : Palestine, wake up Palestine, please my dear brother, wake up, please don’t die. Don’t leave me.

With few strength left, Palestine softly spoke to Egypt’s ear...
" Don’t cry my brother. Don’t cry, be strong. Israel can kill me, but he will never kill my spirit. He can kill my whole country, but he can never kill the passion of Muslim around the world. By God wills, Islam will rise someday. But before that, we need to unite my brother. You, me and all our brothers of Islam around the world should unite as one. We should stop fighting among us. We should stop depending on Israel and America. We Muslim, should embrace as one, and love each other as a family for the sake of our beloved religion, Islam. And when that time come, Islam will rise as high as ever. Trust in ourselves that we can and we will win. Remember, Allah will always be on our side. We can bring the change to the world. Islam will rule the world someday. InsyaAllah. "

Egypt : I will my brother, InsyaAllah, I will remember all your words.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the writer --> I made this dialogue based on the problem that Palestinians are facing today. Egypt is pressured by Israel to block the tunnel where the Palestinian at Gaza really depends on that tunnel to smuggle goods such as food, cloths, weapons, and etc in order to continue their daily life. Hamas is the only Palestinian group that is still fighting to get back their country, as Fatah is not really functional. Hope this dialogue can open our eyes, and our HEART. Finally, let ask ourselves, how can we have any pleasure in anything that happens when we have brothers and sisters at Palestine living as they are?

cadangan??

Salam...

Setiap kali menatap gambar kawan-kawan lame di USA dulu...dalam hati saya mesti rasa sedih...kalaulah mereka masuk Islam..tetapi saya tahu benda tu semua mane boleh sekadar harapan dan angan2 saje..Inilah tugasku sebagai seorang muslim..

Tapi saya selalu kebingungan..bagimana caranye untuk berdakwah dengan mereka??Ilmu pun xcukup lagi.. Tapi xkan nak tunggu sampai jadi ustazah atau ade ijazah dalam bidang agama atau lain2 baru boleh berdakwah dengan mereka??Ya Allah..aku sayang mereka sabagai kawan, tetapi aku tidak boleh sayangkan mereka sepenuh hati kerana mereka masih kafir..kafir..

Selain itu terdapat juga rakan2 muslim di sana tidak memahami dan mengamalkan islam secara keseluruhan..sedih..


----Jadi saya mohon kepada saudara se-islam yang lebih berilmu/alim untuk memberi tunjuk ajar..atau cadangan untuk berdakwah secara creatif..how??
