Manusia dan Lupa

Sedikit berbagi hikmah yang didapatkan, berkaitan dengan manusia, kalau di cermati kata manusia bisa berasal dari dua kata dalam bahasa arab, yaitu "man" dan "nasya", yang berarti " yang selalu lupa". Jika direnungkan, lupa memang merupakan tabiat manusia, yang paling sederhana yang saya rasakan adalah kita sering lupa bahwa menyembah ALLAH SWT itu mudah. Teringat obrolan dengan salah seorang murid saya yg warga negara inggris, ketika dia mengeluh betapa payahnya untuk sholat lima kali dalam sehari, Allhamdulillah ada jawaban atas pernyataan murid saya itu, bersamaan dengan datangnya waktu sholat dzuhr, kami memutuskan untuk merekam sholat yang kami lakukan, selepas sholat, teman muda saya ini berkata dgn ta'jub "hey, ternyata sholat hanya butuh waktu 4 menit, ini lebih cepet dari nonton iklan..." dan kita sepakat bahwa 20 menit dalam sehari utk menghadap ALLAH SWT bukanlah hal yg berat....
Tabiat lupa dalam diri manusia, hendaknya menjadi sebuah kefahaman, bahwa aktivitas nasihat menasihati adalah sebuah keniscayaan yang menyelamatkan. Sebagai seorang muslim, kita sudah seharusnya meyakini bahwa nasihat terbaik ada dalam Alquran dan Hadits. Oleh karna itu, untuk berinteraksi secara intens dengan Alquran dan hadis dapat menjadi jalan bagi manusia untuk tidak senantiasa tenggelam dalam tabiat lupanya.

Wallahu a'lam bish showab

it's the wifes...

This morning we had a walk, routine exercise we usually do everytime we had a chance. And somehow our conversation during the walk shift to polygamy. My wife told me about several polygamy "cases" which end up with happy ending and sad ending.
After several long minutes listen to her, she asked for my opinion.
So I replied, and among the answer is "....you know honey, i agreed with my ustadz (spirtual mentor), it's the wifes who's incredible, imagine a husbad who have to work and then when he go back at home he also have to "work" again: sharing the attention to wifes and kids, educate them, cheer them up, support they needs,etc, can u imagine that? If the wifes are not good-incredible women, the husband will have short life, suffer caused by the pressure outside and at home, the children will have bad stigma about their parents, and you can imagine the rest...
And my "short"answer stoped because we realized that we walk too far from our usual track, that's mean we have to "climb" back way home. Heavy sweat during the way back, so i suggest to my wife, it will be better next time we walk again, "let's just talk about foods" :D

Ways to discover ALLAH SWT

The real tittle of this lesson is "At-Thaariqu lima'rifatillah". 

There are 2 ways people use to discover ALLAH SWT. The first one is by observing anything that can be sense (aayatul kauwniyah). Unfortunatelly human senses have limitation to explain phenomenas that happen in this life. Somehow they will end up searching for the rest of their life or stop searching. Usually they become "non-beliver"/kuffar. 


The second way is looking for ALLAH SWT through observing (or sensing) life phenomenon/universe (al-aayatul kawniyah), and try to look for  further explanation from Alquran & Al-Hadits (al-aayatul qawliyah). 

Alquran and hadits will help human to understand many phenomenon that can not be explain or understand .

That's why ikhwah fillah, if you already make friends with Alquraan & Alhadits, try to share the joy with others, we have obligation to share the joy of islam to the world so life will be better for all of us.

Wallahu a'laam bis shawaab
