Surah Al-Kahf

65. Then they found one of Our slaves, unto whom We had bestowed mercy from Us, and whom We had taught knowledge from Us.

66. Mûsa (Moses) said to him (Khidr) "May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allâh)?"

67. He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me!

68. "And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not?"

69. Mûsa (Moses) said: "If Allâh will, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught."

70. He (Khidr) said: "Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention it to you."

71. So they both proceeded, till, when they embarked the ship, he (Khidr) scuttled it. Mûsa (Moses) said: "Have you scuttled it in order to drown its people? Verily, you have committed a thing "Imra" (a Munkar - evil, bad, dreadful thing)."

72. He (Khidr) said: "Did I not tell you, that you would not be able to have patience with me?"

73. [Mûsa (Moses)] said: "Call me not to account for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you)."

74. Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Mûsa (Moses) said: "Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing "Nukra" (a great Munkar - prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!"

75. (Khidr) said: "Did I not tell you that you can have no patience with me?"

76. [Mûsa (Moses)] said: "If I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from me."

77. Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight. [Mûsa (Moses)] said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!"

78. (Khidr) said: "This is the parting between me and you, I will tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were unable to hold patience.

79. "As for the ship, it belonged to Masâkîn (poor people) working in the sea. So I wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king after them who seized every ship by force.

80. "And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.

81. "So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy.

82. "And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience." 

-kadang-kadang kita tidak perlu faham apa sedang berlaku pada diri kita, namun kita perlu bersabar menerima segala yang berlaku kerana setiap yang berlaku ada hikmahnya dan Allah tidak akan mempersia-siakan hamba-Nya-

banyak perkara berlaku dalam kehidupan saya sehari-hari. banyak yang dah hilang dari memory. tapi ada banyak lagi yang masih berputar-putar dalam jiwa. kadang-kadang terfikir, mengapa saya melakukan apa yang telah saya lakukan. mengapa saya memilih untuk berada di mana saya sekarang. mengapa saya adalah diri saya. kenapa saya ralat, kenapa saya pernah melakukan kesalahan yang membodohkan saya sekarang. pendek kata mengapa jalan kehidupan saya begini. saya pernah merasai kebodohan kejahilan keburukan kerosakan kehidupan. namun saya bersyukur kerana keadaan itu bukan keadaan yang saya alami selama-lamanya kerana saya sempat menangkap hidayah yang Allah campakkan berkali-kali. alhamdulillah saya sempat merasai sinar-sinar islam sebelum saya pergi lebih jauh dalam kejahilan. alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. namun takut sekali andai suatu hari saya terlupa akan nikmat Allah ini. takut sekali kalau-kalau kaki saya goyah untuk sekali lagi tenggelam. takut sekali andai selama ini hanya perasaan-perasaan yang dibisikkan syaitan, takut sekali andai selangkah lagi ke jannah saya rosakkan dan halakan langkah itu ke jahanam. Ya Allah berikanlah perlindungan selagi mana saya bernafas di bumi ini. Allah telah menetapkan setiap perkara dalam kehidupan anak Adam namun saya selalu terpedaya dengan bisikan syaitan dan al-hawa’. apabila melihat sahabat yang masih tercari-cari, sahabat yang masih belum sempat membuka hati untuk hidayah Allah, sahabat yang masih leka dimamah racun-racun musuh yang senantiasa ingin melihat kerosakan umat islam agar mereka dapat terloncat-loncat gembira berjaya membodohkan manusia, saya jadi serba salah. ketahuilah sahabat-sahabatku, tiada apa di dunia ini yang lebih membahagiakan kecuali redha Allah dan harapan untuk syurga di akhirat kelak. marilah kita sama-sama berpesan-pesan pada kebenaran dan berpesan-pesan dengan kesabaran. inilah perlumbaan kita.

hadith 19

April 20, 2008

On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said : One day I was behind the prophet and he said to me:

"Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

Narrated by Termithi, who said it is true and fine hadith

In a version other than that of Tirmithi it reads:

 "..Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before you. Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity. Know that what has passed you by was not going to befall you; and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with hardship."
