MULIANYA HATI SEORANG ANAK

Lapang benar dada Pak Uwei bila pegawai yang bertugas di kaunter Pejabat Tabung Haji itu memberitahu nama dia dan isterinya turut tersenarai dalam senarai jemaah yang akan menunaikan ibadah fardhu haji pada tahun ini.

“Tapi pak cik kena bayar segera bahagian mak cik yang masih tak cukup tiga ribu ringgit lagi tu. Selewat-lewatnya minggu depan bayaran mesti dibuat,” beritahu pegawai itu lagi. “Insya’Allah encik. Saya akan bayar seberapa segera,” janji Pak Uwei. Berita gembira itu ingin segera dikongsi bersama isteri kesayangannya. Sebaik keluar dari pejabat Tabung Haji, dia terus balik ke rumah.

“Pah….. Ooo….. Pah!” teriak Pak Uwei sebaik turun dari keretanya.

“Apa bendanya terlolong-lolong ni bang?” tanya Mak Pah.

“Ada berita baik ni Pah, nampaknya hajat kita nak ke Mekah tahun ni akan tertunai. Insya’Allah, dua bulan lagi kita akan ke sana. Tak sabar betul saya, rasa macam Kaabah tu dah melambai-lambai,”
cerita Pak Uwei dengan wajah berseri-seri.

“Betul ke ni bang? Baru semalam si Johari beritahu dia dengan Minah tak dapat pergi. Namanya tidak ada dalam senarai.”

“Betullah Pah oii…….. saya ni baru je balik dari Pejabat Tabung Haji. Cuma duit bahagian awak tu kena bayar segera selewat-lewatnya minggu depan.”

“Mana kita nak cari duit banyak tu bang? Tiga ribu tu bukan sikit, itupun lepas duit tambang. Duit kocek mau juga sekurang-kurangnya dalam seribu.” Mak Pah merenung gusar wajah suaminya.

“Alah Pah, kita mintalah tolong dengan Muaz dan Balkis. Takkanlah mereka tak nak beri. Bukannya banyak, cuma dua ribu seorang saja.”

Wajah Pak Uwei semakin berseri-seri. Dia yakin anak-anaknya yang dua orang itu tidak akan menghampakan harapannya.

“Lusa hari minggu, saya nak suruh budak-budak tu balik, boleh kita berunding,” cadang Pak Uwei.

“Kalau tak cukup bahagian saya tu, awak ajelah yang pergi dulu. Tak elok kita menyusahkan anak-anak bang, lagipun apa pula kata menantu kita nanti, nak ke Mekah minta duit anak-anak.” Mak Pah tidak bersetuju dengan rancangan Pak Uwei.

“Pah…. Muaz dan Balkis tu kan anak-anak kita. Kita dah besarkan mereka, hantar belajar tinggi-tinggi takkan nak hulur dua ribu pun tak boleh, lagipun selama ni kita tak pernah minta duit mereka. Tak usahlah awak bimbang Pah, saya yakin anak-anak kita tu tak akan menghampakan kita kali ni.” Yakin benar Pak Uwei, harapan yang menggunung digantungkan kepada anaknya.

bismillahirrahmanirrahim, subhanallah, amma ba’d,

assalamualaikum warahmatullah to all,

as of today, let’s talk about us muslims and the things that we seem to be taking for granted. how much do we understand the implication of embracing Islam in all aspects of our lives? i guess many can utter that Islam is ad-deen, meaning a way of life but not all of us know the real meaning behind it. it’s a cliche in today’s  world. a cliche that brings no real meaning to one’s heart that is clouded by his own ignorance. blind when he sees. i so hope that all of us are at least loved by Allah enough to be pardoned from being one of those who have hearts but don’t understand with them, those who have eyes but don’t see with them, and those who have ears but listen not with them. blind indeed many muslims are as i speak today.

dear valued readers,

there will always be a group of us who will rise up to injustice and there will always be amongst us a group that strives to deliver the message of Islam to the world, muslims and non-muslims alike. how much do you think is the price of our religious brotherhood if we can only think of finding differences between ourselves. common grounds seem to falter and break just because of small disputes or clashes of ideas. blinded by our differences i say we are. even as i’m writing now and while you are reading this, differences in opinions and views will not cease to arise. does that mean that we forgo our brotherhood which is of a much bigger importance just because of our small disagreement. blind indeed we are.

alas, humans’ desires are always endless, without horizon some can say. if and only if we can channel that trait to our hearts and minds, i personally think then we will be able to save our pitiful souls. ironic at times when i ponder and reflect on the matters happening around me, wars here and there, israelis killing palestinians and otherwise. they share a common blood running in their veins from our beloved prophet abraham and all mankind from adam and eve peace be upon all of them. yet, we fight and so true are Allah’s words in suratul baqarah, verse 36: “Then the Satan made them slip therefrom (Paradise), and got them out from that in which they were, We said: ‘Go you down, all, with enmity between yourselves. On Earth will be a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment for a time.’”

okay, that’s a macroscopic view. let’s scale down by a number of degrees to ourselves and our surroundings. how much as of today you look into the mirror and see only yourself and no one else in the reflection? of course if you’re alone, you’ll be only looking back at you yourself. try for once, look at yourself from another perspective. look at you and trace back through the history of your own self, stop not there but go farther beyond your ancestry to the days you think Allah created our father Adam of earth, still soulless. Imagine ok. now, question ourselves: what have i done so far that creates enmity between my brothers and me? i was once made of earth and Allah honoured me above Allah’s angels. my, oh my, aren’t we too arrogant that we dare to go against Allah’s order: “The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islam), so make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy.”, suratul hujurat, verse 10. if we think we are right, the other part also does. look back at the ayah, remember above all our differences, we remain intact, inseparable by a bond much holier and purer than ourselves. remember that Allah ask us to clear our disputes because of the mere differences we have and put Allah first in mind, fearing Allah enough to conquer our ego and hope for the best as much for our brothers as we hope for ourselves. you do not believe till you love for your brother what you love for yourself.

i call upon all of us to ponder upon the message i’m trying to convey today and start to think more deeply while we are living our lives and interacting with others, lest we may cause trouble and therefore, invite Allah’s anger upon us. Oh Allah, grant us your love and redho for we seek nothing else except for your affection. grant us iman for only then we can see with the eyes you gave us and be blind not.

wallahua’lam. ma’assalamah. till next time.

ALLAH Ta’aala says:
“Beautified for mankind is love of the joys (that come) from women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded (with their mark), and cattle and land. That is comfort of the life of the world. Allah! With Him is a more excellent abode” 003:01

There once was a king with 4 wives. He was madly in love with the fourth, and would do anything to keep her happy. He also liked the third, but always suspected she may consider leaving him for another man. The second was the one in which he always confided at times of grief, and she would always lend the empathetic listening ear. As for the first wife, he used to neglect her and pay much attention to her needs, although she truly cared for him and played a key role in protecting and preserving his kingdom.

One day, the King was stricken with a deadly illness, and knew his days were few. He couldn’t comprehend or accept the reality that, despite all this wealth and vast kingdom, he will enter his grave alone. He wanted companionship in his grave, and so he asked his wives which amongst them is willing to sacrifice her life for him in order to lye by his side in the grave.

Kalau Tuhan, kita kenali, Kasih sayang dan perananNya,

Kalo Tuhan, kita fahami, Keagungan dan kekuasaanNya,

Kalau Tuhan, kita rasakan, Betapa Dia sangat cintakan hambaNya

Kita akan sanggup berjuang, Sanggup mati keranaNya,

Kita akan sanggup berkorban, Apa sahaja keranaNya (ulang 2kali)

~~~Kalau Tuhan dikenali~~~

**Cintailah Tuhan,Dialah segalanya

Korbankanlah apa sahaja keranaNya

Cintakan Tuhan cinta paling mahal

Cintakan selain Tuhan cinta murahan

Kalau Tuhan, kita kenali, Dialah segala-galanya,

Kalau Tuhan kita fahami, Dialah pengurus seluruh keperluan kita

Kalaulah kita faham, Tuhan ini siapa sebenarnya

Kita akan sanggup menerima ujian keranaNya,

Kita sanggup buat apa sahaja demi cinta padaNya,

Kita akan sanggup menerima ujian keranaNya,

Kita akan sanggup menderita kerana cinta padaNya.

Kenalilah Tuhan by Mawaddah

Lirik lagu ini memikat hati saya di kala pertama mendengarnya. Dan sehingga ke hari ini, lagu inilah yang saya putarkan berpuluh kali sebagai halwa telinga. Liriknya amat cantik dan indah sekali. Saya mengakui bahawa cinta kepada Allah swt merupakan cinta yang amat payah untuk dipupuk. Kenapa? Kerana kita tidak berupaya untuk melihat Allah swt. ‘Tak kenal maka tak cinta’ bukan?
