The one about " I "...
Another thing that’s been bugging me, I just wanna say I hate copy cats and even more when they copy something I’m not proud of doing and it just makes me the ‘bad influence’ when I wasn’t trying to be one! So please don’t follow the bad things I do and please don’t mention the bad things I do…well friends don’t from what I know of friendship. And yes, I’m no angel…so what?

On friendship, I am getting sick and tired of the one way street friendship that appears to be two way but is sometimes actually one way (if you get the drift)…it’s just that the emotional bank account is already at a deficit and I can’t take anymore neither can I give anymore. If it's always (fine most of the time) me doing the advising and motivating, what happens to me? Why don’t I get advice on the things that I do which are wrong...I’m not that much of a positive person myself, who helps me then? So I think I’m gonna take care of myself from here on and treat those equally the way they treat me. And I know, by me not being bothered and all, this is how friendship breaks, eventually… well it’s all coming to an end anyway…I will have to accept that I will be on my own eventually…everybody leaves (peyton’s style OTH) whether they move on to the other side, get married, get a bf or whatever…Fine I admit I’m being a drama queen, but that’s just how I feel at the moment…it’s sad.
I have also noticed something about myself, lately, when my mind & feelings are messed up i.e. angry, disappointed, stressed etc, I not only eat, but I shop…I shop on those things that I really want but wouldn’t normally buy kinda thing…but it’s ok I guess, since it makes me happy in that moment in time…I’m gonna be doing more shopping instead of eating…erm I think I gotta get rid of ALL the credit cards then! The dangerous me is being unleashed! Ahaks!
Apa itu Istidraj...
RENUNGKANLAH WAHAI SAHABAT-SAHABAT KU....
Apa itu Istidraj...
Minggu lepas, kawan seofis Fendi tanya "Kenapa kadang kala kita lihat seseorg insan tu sentiasa dapat kegembiraan spt dapat naik pangkat, murah rezeki dll sedangkan dia tu selalu melakukan kemungkaran? ".
So,Fendi pun jawablah yang kdg kala sesuatu anugerah Allah swt kpd seseorg individu tu bukanlah sebab Allah sayangkan hambanya itu tetapi kerana Allah nak tengok sejauh mana keikhlasan orang itu. Allah nak tengok adakah hambanya itu akan menyedari bahawa Allah amat bermurah hati dengannya jadi sepatutnya dia bersyukur dan berubah menjadi baik. Tapi jika individu itu masih tidak reti bersyukur maka sesungguhnya dia telah menimbulkan kemurkaan Ar-Rahman.Teringat juga Fendi pd satu penjelasan ustazah sekolah rendah dulu.
Ada member tanya kenapa kdg2 kita dah banyak kali berdoa tapi belum dapat apa yang diimpikan. Ustazah kata itu tandanya Allah sayang pada kita.Sebabnya Allah tahu kalau kita lambat atau belum dpt yg diimpikan, kita akan terus berdoa dan mengingati Ilahi. Sebenarnya Allah amat rindukan suara hamba-hambaNya merayu dan memujiNya. Kalau sekali berdoa terus dapat, kemungkinan besar lepas tu kita kita taksub dan lupa utk bersyukur pd yg Esa.
Tup-tup dpt pula artikel ni drp seorg rakan. A very relevant and interesting article. Semoga Allah beratkan timbangan ibadah kita drp timbangan dosa di Pdg Mahsyar nanti. InsyaAllah..
Apakah dia istidraj itu?
Ianya adalah pemberian nikmat Allah kepada manusia yang mana pemberian itu tidak diredhaiNya. Inilah yang dinamakan istidraj.
Rasullulah s. a.w. bersabda :"Apabila kamu melihat bahawa Allah Taala memberikan nikmat kepada hambanya yang selalu membuat maksiat (durhaka),ketahuila h bahawa orang itu telah diistidrajkan oleh Allah SWT."
Diriwayatkan oleh At-Tabrani, Ahmad dan Al-Baihaqi)
Tetapi, manusia yang durhaka dan sering berbuat maksiat yang terkeliru dengan pemikirannya merasakan bahawa nikmat yang telah datang kepadanya adalah kerana Allah berserta dan kasih dengan perbuatan maksiat mereka.
Masih ada juga orang ragu-ragu, kerana kalau kita hendak dapat kebahagian didunia dan akhirat kita mesti ikut jejak langkah Rasullulah saw dan berpegang teguh pada agama Islam.
Tetapi bagaimana dengan ada orang yang sembahyang 5 waktu sehari semalam, bangun tengah malam bertahajjud, puasa bukan di bulan Ramadhan sahaja, bahkan Isnin, Khamis dan puasa sunat yang lain. Tapi, hidup mereka biasa sahaja. Ada yang susah juga. Kenapa? Dan bagaimana pula orang yang seumur hidup tak sembahyang, puasa pun tak pernah, rumahnya tersergam indah, kereta mewah menjalar, duit banyak, dia boleh hidup kaya dan mewah.
Bila kita tanya, apa kamu takut mati? Katanya, alah, orang lain pun mati juga, kalau masuk neraka, ramai-ramai.
Tak kisahlah! Sombongnya mereka, takburnya mereka.
Rasullulah s. a. w. naik ke langit bertemu Allah pun tak sombong, Nabi Sulaiman, sebesar-besar pangkatnya sehinggakan semua makhluk di muka bumi tunduk di bawah perintahnya pun tak sombong! Secantik-cantik Nabi Yusof dan semerdu suara Nabi Daud, mereka tak sombong. Bila sampai masa dan ketikanya, mereka tunduk dan sujud menyembah Allah.
Manusia istidraj - Manusia yang lupa daratan. Walaupun berbuat maksiat, dia merasa Allah menyayanginya. Mereka memandang hina kepada orang yang beramal. "Dia tu siang malam ke masjid, basikal pun tak mampu beli, sedangkan aku ke kelab malam pun dengan kereta mewah. Tak payah beribadatpun, rezeki datang mencurah-curah. Kalau dia tu sikit ibadat tentu boleh kaya macam aku, katanya sombong." Sebenarnya, kadang-kadang Allah memberikan nikmat yang banyak dengan tujuan untuk menghancurkannya.
Rasullulah s. a. w bersabda: "Apabila Allah menghendaki untuk membinasakan semut, Allah terbangkan semua itu dengan dua sayapnya" (Kitab Nasaibul æIbad) Anai-anai, jika tidak bersayap, maka dia akan duduk diam di bawah batu atau merayap di celah-celah daun, tetapi jika Allah hendak membinasakannya, Allah berikan dia sayap. Lalu, bila sudah bersayap, anai-anai pun menjadi kelkatu. Kelkatu, bila mendapat nikmat (sayap) , dia akan cuba melawan api. Begitu juga manusia, bila mendapat nikmat, cuba hendak melawan Allah swt.
Buktinya, Firaun. Nikmatnya tak terkira, tidak pernah sakit, bersin pun tidak pernah kerana Allah berikannya nikmat kesihatan. Orang lain selalu sakit, tapi Firaun tidak, orang lain mati, namun dia masih belum mati-mati juga, sampai rasa angkuh dan besar diri lantas mengaku dirinya tuhan. Tapi dengan nikmat itulah Allah binasakan dia.
Namrud, yang cuba membakar Nabi Ibrahim. Betapa besar pangkat Namrud? Dia begitu sombong dengan Allah, akhirnya menemui ajalnya hanya disebabkan seekor nyamuk masuk ke dalam lubang hidungnya.
Tidak ada manusia hari ini sekaya Qarun. Anak kunci gudang hartanya sahaja kena dibawa oleh 40 ekor unta. Akhirnya dia ditenggelamkan bersama-sama hartanya sekali akibat terlalu takbur. Jadi kalau kita kaya, jangan sangka Allah sayang, Qarun lagi kaya, akhirnya binasa juga.
Jadi, jika kita kaji dan fikir betul-betul, maka terjawablah segala keraguan yang mengganggu fikiran kita. Mengapa orang kafir kaya, dan orang yang berbuat maksiat hidup senang /mewah.
Pemberian yang diberikan oleh Allah pada mereka bukanlah yang diredhaiNya. Rupa-rupanya ianya adalah bertujuan untuk menghancurkannya. Untuk apa hidup ini tanpa keredhaanNya? Tetapi jangan pula ada orang kaya beribadat, masuk masjid dengan kereta mewah kita katakan itu istidraj.
Orang naik pangkat, istidraj. Orang-orang besar, istidraj.. Jangan! Orang yang mengunakan nikmatnya untuk kebajikan untuk mengabdi kepada Allah bukan istidraj. Dan jangan pula kita tidak mahu kekayaan. Kalau hendak selamat, hidup kita mesti ada pegangan.
Bukan kaya yang kita cari, juga bukan miskin yang kita cari. Tujuan hidup kita adalah mencari keredaan Allah. Bagaimana cara untuk menentukan nikmat yang diredhai Allah? Seseorang itu dapat menyedari hakikat yang sebenarnya tentang nikmat yang diterimanya itu ialah apabila dia bersyukur nikmatnya.
Dia akan mengunakan pemberian ke jalan kebaikan dan sentiasa redha dan ikhlas mengabdikan diri kepada Allah. Maka segala limpah kurnia yang diperolehi itu adalah nikmat pemberian yang diredhai Allah. Bila tujuan hidup kita untuk mencari keredhaan Allah, niscaya selamatlah kita di dunia dan akhirat.
Wallahualam.
"Dari Abdullah bin 'Amr R. A, Rasulullah S. A. W bersabda:
"Sampaikanlah pesanku biarpun satu ayat.."
From my Unkel Man...
JAZAQALLAH for the email below which is an excellent example of what is happening right now among the majority of muslims in the world. I suppose they feel they worked hard to get where they are today & what they have and they feel this has nothing to do with the ‘gift’ from ALLAAH.
We have to believe that everything belongs to ALLAAH and the life we have now is a LOAN from ALLAAH, the things HE has given us are on loan to see if we appreciate his ‘gifts’ to us.
Look at how rich the non believers are! They form the richest community in the world today. We have seen and heard of what has happened to their riches – all in vain as nothing was spent for the sake of ALLAH but for their own Life’s sake…. They had not invested for the Hereafter……. Well, they can only do so if they are believers…
So, the Muslims, being believers must give thanks to ALLAAH for HIS ‘gift’ by following HIS Commands – which is so simple yet so difficult for some to please Allaah.
May ALLAAH bless those who appreciate HIS ‘gifts’ to them, Ameen.
Thank you for sharing this excellent article on INSTIDRAJ with me and may those who read this be blessed for all the things they do for the sake of ALLAAH – Ameen.
It has been an eye-opener for the month of RAMADHAN. May Allaah bless you for sharing this article with all your friends and relatives.. Ameen.
RAMADHAN AL MUBARAK.
