Kita Selalu Bertanya.. Dan Al-Quran Sudah Menjawabnya..

Kenapa aku diuji?
Quran menjawab :
"Apakah manusia itu mengira bahawa mereka dibiarkan saja mengatakan; "Kami telah beriman," sedangkan mereka tidak diuji? Dan sesungguhnya kami telah menguji orang-orang yang sebelum mereka, maka sesungguhnya Allah mengetahui orang-orang yang benar dan sesungguhnya Dia mengetahui orang-orang yang dusta." -Surah Al-Ankabut ayat 2-3 

Kenapa aku tak dapat apa yang aku idam-idamkan?
Quran menjawab :
"Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi pula kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu, Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui." Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 216 

Kenapa ujian seberat ini?
Quran menjawab :
"Allah tidak membebani seseorang itu melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya." Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 286 

Kenapa rasa frust?
Quran menjawab :
"Janganlah kamu bersikap lemah, dan janganlah pula kamu bersedih hati, padahal kamulah orang yang paling tinggi darjatnya, jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman." Surah Al-Imran ayat 139 

Bagaimana harus aku menghadapinya ?
Quran menjawab :
"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Bersabarlah kamu (menghadapi segala kesukaran dalam mengerjakan perkara-perkara yang berkebajikan), dan kuatkanlah kesabaran kamu lebih daripada kesabaran musuh, di medan perjuangan), dan bersedialah (dengan kekuatan pertahanan di daerah- daerah sempadan) serta bertaqwalah kamu kepada Allah supaya, kamu berjaya (mencapai kemenangan)." Surah Ali Imran ayat 200 

 Bagaimana harus aku menghadapinya?
Quran menjawab :
"Dan mintalah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan jalan sabar dan mengerjakan sembahyang; dan sesungguhnya sembahyang itu amatlah berat kecuali kepada orang-orang yang khusyuk" Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 45 

Apa yang aku dapat daripada semua ini?
Quran menjawab :
"Sesungguhnya Allah telah membeli dari orang-orang mu'min, diri, harta mereka dengan memberikan syurga untuk mereka... .. Surah At-Taubah ayat 111 

Kepada siapa aku berharap?
Quran menjawab :
"Cukuplah Allah bagiku, tidak ada Tuhan selain dariNya. Hanya kepadaNya aku bertawakkal." Surah At-Taubah ayat 129 

Aku tak dapat tahan!!!
Quran menjawab :
"... ..dan janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah. Sesungguhnya tiada berputus asa dari rahmat Allah melainkan kaum yang kafir." Surah Yusuf ayat 12

Berkawan Cara Rasulullah S.A.W

 

Huraian
Persahabatan Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. dengan Saidina Abu Bakar adalah ikatan persaudaraan yang perlu dicontohi umat Islam. Kedua-duanya mempunyai akhlak mulia, sama haluan dalam perjuangan sehingga terjalin kasih sayang dan kemesraan. Ia sewajarnya dijadikan panduan bagi umat Islam memilih kawan yang baik. Keutamaan Abu Bakar di mata Rasulullah s.a.w. dijelmakan menerusi sabda Baginda bermaksud: "Jika ditimbang keimanan Abu Bakar dengan keimanan umat sekaliannya, nescaya akan berat lagi keimanan Abu Bakar." (H.R. al-Baihaqi) 

Rasulullah s.a.w. juga meluahkan isi hatinya kepada Abu Bakar seperti sabda baginda :
"Semoga Allah merahmatimu! Engkau adalah sahabatku! Engkau telah membenarkan ketika orang lain mendustakanku, engkau telah membantuku ketika orang lain membiarkanku, engkau telah beriman kepadaku ketika orang lain mendustakanku, engkau telah mententeramkan hatiku ketika hatiku sedang dalam keadaan keluh kesah. Sesungguhnya tiada siapa pun, biar apa pun sekali yang dilakukannya buat diriku yang dapat menyamai apa yang dibuat olehmu." 


MENCARI KAWAN YANG BAIK DAN MAMPU MEMBIMBING KE ARAH KEBAIKAN. 

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang bermaksud: " Teman yang baik dan teman yang tidak baik itu diumpamakan seperti pembawa kasturi dan peniup api, maka si pembawa kasturi mungkin memberikan kasturi itu kepada kamu atau kamu dapat membelinya, atau kamu dapat mencium baunya yang wangi. Bagaimanapun peniup api mungkin membakar pakaianmu atau kamu dapat mencium baunya yang busuk." (H.R. al-Bukhari dan Muslim).
Rasulullah s.a.w menggariskan beberapa perkara bagi memilih teman atau kawan yang baik, antaranya: 

BERSAHABAT DENGAN ORANG YANG BERTAQWA DAN BERIMAN
" Jangan kamu bersahabat melainkan dengan orang yang beriman dan jangan berikan makan kecuali kepada orang yang bertaqwa." (H.R. Abu Daud dan At-Tirmizi). 

HINDARI BERKAWAN ORANG DENGAN YANG BURUK AKHLAKNYA
:"Jauhilah kawan yang buruk (akhlak dan perangainya), kamu akan kenali sepertinya"
Seseorang itu berada atas cara hidup kawannya, maka perhatikanlah tiap seorang daripada kamu, siapakah yang didampinginya." (H.R. at-Tirmizi dan Abu Daud).

MENEGUR KESILAPAN KAWAN KERANA KEBENARAN
Ubadah Ibn As-Samit berkata: "Rasulullah s.a.w. mengikat janji dengan kami supaya dengar dan patuh ketika susah dan senang, yang disukai dan dibenci dan jangan merebut sesuatu dari tuannya kecuali ada bukti kekufurannya. 

MEMBANTU KAWAN KETIKA KESEMPITAN
"Seorang Muslim dengan Muslim yang lain adalah bersaudara, dia tidak menzaliminya dan tidak mengelakkan diri daripada menolongnya, sesiapa yang melepas hajatnya, sesiapa yang melepaskan saudaranya daripada sesuatu kesempitan, maka Allah akan melepaskan satu kesempitan daripada kesempitan-kesempitan hari kiamat,

T.E. Lawrence

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.

Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.
Albert Einstein

The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.
C. V. White

And one quote just for fun.....
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.
W.C. Fields
