Tujuan Asal Penciptaan Manusia

Assalamu'alaikum...

 Apa khabar para pembaca sekalian? Semoga kalian berada di dalam rahmat dan kasih sayang Allah hendaknya. Saban hari kita hidup disajikan dengan pelbagai berita mengenai keruntuhan Akhlak dalam institusi kemasyarakatan. Kpop, punk, skin head, semuanya telah menjadi gaya hidup dan hiburan dalam hidup masyarakat. kehidupan yang sepatutnya diisi dengan cahaya Islam telah disajikan dengan pelbagai bentuk hiburan dan keindahan duniawi sehingga kita telah lupa apakah tujuan asal penciptaan manusia sebagai khalifah Allah di muka bumi. Allah telah berfirman di dalam Al-Quran :

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْأِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُون

“Tidak Aku ciptakan jin dan Manusia melainkan hanya untuk beribadah kepada-Ku.” 

(QS. Adz –Dzariyat: 56 )

 Daalam surah di atas, dengan jelasnya Allah menyatakan bahawa manusia dan jin telah dicipta hanya untuk beribadah kepada Allah s.w.t..Bercakap mengenai 'Ibadah, manusia seringkali menyempitkan skop ibadah hanya terhad kepada solat, puasa dan zikir. Namun begitu, kebesaran Allah s.w.t. telah menunjukkan kepada kita bahawa Islam adalah agama yang mudah. Apa sahaja yang dilakukan adalah Ibadah jika ia menepati syari'at Islam dan dilakukan niat hanya kepada Allah s.w.t..Saya yakin sidang pembaca sekalian telah sentiasa diingatkan mengenai hadis berkaitan dengan niat malah ada yang telah menghafalnya. Namun, adakah kita betul-betul memahami maksud hadis tersebut? Diriwayatkan daipada Amirul Mukminin Abu Hafsh 'Umar bin Khatab r.a., ia berkata aku mendengar Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda :

"Sesungguhnya, setiap amalan itu bermula dengan niat. Dan bagi setiap orang itu apa yang dia niatkan. Maka barangsiapa yang hijrahnya kerana Allah dan rasul-Nya, maka hijrahnya adalah kerana Allah dan rasul-Nya. Dan barangsiapa yang hijrahnya kerana dunia atau perempuan yang ingin dikahwininya, maka hijrahnya adalah kerana apa yang dikehendaki."

(HR Bukhari & Muslim)

Jadi, apa tunggu lagi? Marilah kita sama-sama sedar dan muhasabah kembali apakah kita telah memenuhi tujuan penciptaan kita sebagai khalifah di muka bumi? Adakah kita telah mengabdikan diri kita kepada Allah? Adakah sudah cukup amalan kita andaikata Allah tidak mengizinkan kita untuk hidup diatas muka bumi ini hanya dalam satu helaan nafas lagi? Sedarlah wahai saudara-saudaraku sekalian..Kehidupan di dunia hanyalah sementara. Rahmat Allah diatas muka bumi ini hanyalah sedikit jika hendak dibandingkan dengan rahmat & nikmat Allah di akhirat. Saya akhiri perkongsian ini dengan dua hadis Rasulullah s.a.w..Semoga ia dapat menjadi pedoman dan peringatan kepada kita..InsyaAllah..

"Sesungguhnya Allah s.w.t. memiliki 100 rahmat (nikmat). Satu rahmat daripadanya diturunkan-NYA dan dibahagi-bahagi di antara jin, manusia, haiwan-haiwan besar dan kecil. Dengan rahmat yang satu itu, semua makhluk tersebut saling sayang-menyayangi dan kasih-mengasihi. Dengn rahmat yang satu itulah seekor keldai liar menyayangi anaknya. Adapun rahmat yang 99 lagi disediakan Allah s.w.t. buat kehidupan di akhirat. Dengn rahmat yang 99 itulah Allah mengasihi hamba-NYA pada hari kiamat"
(Muttafaq 'Alaih)

"Allah menciptakan rahmat dalam 100 bahagian. Dia menahan disisi-NYA 99 bahagian dan menurunkan ke bumi satu bahagian sahaja"
(HR Bukhari)

Being Sincere in Islam

As Muslims, Allah expects us to be sincere in following His religion. Allah has perfected His way for us and made religion simple to follow:


"Allah does not wish to place any hardship on you: He only wishes to cleanse you and perfect His blessing on you, so that you may be thankful." (Qur'an 5:6)


This means Allah has made the entire religion so that all of its teachings and values can be fully upheld without hardship on the follower.


"Today I have perfected your religion for you and chosen surrender [to your Lord]: Islam as your religion." [Qur'an 5:3]


For this reason, being a true believer means following all the teachings of the religion Allah communicates to us. If we correctly implement all the teachings of the Qur'an within us, and unite together as those who abide by the Quranic values, then Allah makes the believers strong and provides them with dignity in the world. Being the ideal believer is possible for a human being as Allah has made the religion He communicates through the Qur'an, such that it is possible to be the ideal believer. Allah states this as follows:


"Believers, enter fully into surrender to Allah." (Qur'an 2:208)
Many "Muslims" intentionally do not adhere to religion fully. They perform some parts of their duty, such as performing five daily prayers, and deliberately neglect some others which they say they should be doing. One major reason behind their behaviour is that some of their beliefs on what is required of a true believer are highly impractical and superficial and are not based on the true religion to begin with. What this means is that, Allah did not require them to do such and such, yet they impose it upon themselves and then do not perform it. With regard to these failures, they say, "it is better to, but not compulsory" hence do not make the effort or strive to implement them. There are many examples of such practices, couple of which are:


* wearing an Arab dress - these Muslims wear their own style of dress such as the western style, yet suggest that it is "better to" dress in a manner which Arabs do - i.e. they should really be dressed in a different manner to which they are dressed if they are to please Allah most (according to them).


* heavy clothing on women - many such women say it would be better to wear another level of clothing, but do not try to implement this, probably due to an understanding inside that such heavy concealment is both needless and impractical - yet they verbally say it would be "better to" dress in that way while being satisfied with their current way of dressing.


Such attitudes, where one can neglect the "better" aspects (even though not at all endorsed by the true religion i.e. is not from the Qur'an) indicates a lack of full faith and wisdom. This is because a full grasp and understanding of the Hereafter compels a true believer to implement all the aspects which would be 'better' for the Hereafter.


Though none of these practices are endorsed as desirable by the Qur'an by the least, the fact that such people can satisfy themselves with their belief indicates that they do not regard their Hereafter important enough to implement those 'desirable' teachings.


All this is actually a vicious cycle where a faulty understanding of religion keeps them in the loop of feeling that they can never be true believers (as those of the past whom they revere as the best Muslims) and thus it becomes a factor which helps to prevent them from fully submitting to Allah in the manner required by the Qur'an.


A believer who understand that his or her duty is to uphold all the teachings of the Qur'an is on a refined path. None of the teachings of the Qur'an imposes impracticality or beyond reasonable obligations as stated in a verse we mentioned earlier. For example, a believer may dress according to his or her culture and tradition, though modestly and this is absolutely fine. He or she will not claim that another way of dressing such as the Arab style is better while dressing differently, since it is not from the Qur'an. There is no element of his or her faith which is not implemented at any moment. As stated, this is because the Qur'an is a guide which can be fully implemented easily.


There are no commands in the Qur'an which the true believer will dismiss with dismissing remarks such as "it is better" and take up a self-satisfied attitude while not implementing them. This is why he is not a hypocrite in that he implements everything he says he should be doing or would be 'better to' as he has taken the Qur'an as a guide. Unlike the rest, he or she is fully loyal to religion, to every single advise of Allah. In many respects, this person has an easier lifestyle than the aforementioned types of people. Yet this person is more sincere and loyal in Allah's sight because he or she is aware of what is really required from them by the Qur'an and is implementing all its teachings. This is contrary to the one who follows a muddled religion with impractical burdens not ordered by Allah.

LAU KAANA BAYNANA

 Asslamu'alaikum...

I Wonder If Rasulullah With Us
(LAU KAANA BAYNANA)

If Prophet Muhammad (SAW) visited you, just for a day or two

If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you would do?

Oh I know you would give your nicest room, to such an honored guest

And you would surely serve him, your very very best.

You would be your finest, cause you're glad to have him there

That serving him in you're home, would be a joy beyond compare.

But when you see him coming, would you meet him at the door

With your arms outstretched in welcome, for your respected visitor?

Or would you run to change your clothes, before you let him in

And hide some magazines to put the Quran, where they had been?

Would you still watch those movies, on your TV set

Or would you switch it off, before he gets upset.

Would you turn off the radio, and hope that he had not heard

And wish that you did not sing, that song word by word?

Would you hide your worldly things, and take the Hadith books out

Could you let him walk right in, or would you rush about?

And I wonder...if the Prophet (SAW) spent, a day or two with you

Would you go on doing the things, that you always do?

Would you go right on and say the things, that you always say?

Would life for you continue, as it does from day to day?

Would your family conversations, keep up their usual pace

And would you find it hard at each meal, to say a table grace?

Would you keep up each and every prayer,without putting on a frown

And would you jump up early, to say your Fajr at dawn?

Would you sing the songs you always sing, and read the books you read

And let him know the things on which, your mind and spirit feed?

Would you take the Prophet (SAW) with you, everywhere you plan to go

Or would you maybe change your plans, just for a day or so?

Would you be glad to have him meet, your very closest friends

Or, would you hope they stay away, until his visit ends?

Would you be glad to have him stay, forever on and on

Or would you sigh with great relief, when at last he has gone.

It might be interesting to know,

the things that you would really do

If Prophet Muhammad (SAW) came,

To spend some time with you.
