Cerita Hari Ini : Aku, Makcik dan Baitulmal

#ceritahariini

Sebelum aku lupa, ni nak cerita.

Alhamdulillah hari ni ade orang belanja lagi, farewell treat katanya.

Masa jalan nak pergi lunch tu aku ternampak seorang makcik tu jatuh terbaring kat tepi jalan tak jauh dari tempat aku berdiri, aku rasa dia pitam.

Berlari-lari aku dan officemate aku ke arahnya. Aku tengok orang ramai kat situ dah tolong.

Disebabkan semua pun chinese mereka tak berapa paham apa yang makcik ni cakap. Aku pun datang dekat dan tanya.

Makcik OK ke? Makcik tu menggeletar tarik kain aku, dia cakap

"Ada air tak?"

Aku terus cakap kat officemate aku, dengan pantas Wei Leng and Amy pergi mintak air kat coffee shop depan tu.

Sambil tu mereka yang berada di situ bertanya-tanya padaku. Ada yang cakap, angkat Makcik tu duduk kat atas, ada yang tanya nak call ambulance tak? Ada sorang tu offer nak bagi kasut kat makcik tu sebab tengok kasut selipar dia putus sebab dia jatuh tadi agaknya. MasyaAllah. Baiknya rakyat Malaysia ni..

Bila kami beri air, Makcik tu minum terketar-ketar, Dia kata dia lapar. Allahuakbar. Aku tak ada apa nak bagi pada masa tu.

Kami semua pun baru nak keluar makan. Kawasan itu adalah kawasan office cuma ada 1 sahaja coffee shop. Kami buat keputusan bawak makcik tu duduk di coffee shop tu. Lagipun tepi jalan tu panas dan bahaya. Aku dan seorang Chinese guy yang pimpin Makcik tu duduk kat situ.

Aku sempat tanya makcik tu. Makcik tu kata, dia nak pergi Baitulmal.

Aku tanya lagi, nak pergi naik apa? Dia kata,"Jalan kaki"

Dia tunjuk kad OKU dia kat aku, dia tunjuk kaki dia berbalut-balut.

Allahu. Aku pun tak tahu baitulmal tu kat mana.

Aku suruh makcik tu rehat sementara tunggu seorang Chinese lady tadi ambil kasut spare dia. Mungkin office dia kat atas ni je. Aku cakap mak cik rehat dulu, dah OK baru jalan. Aku bukak purse, berapa je yang "hado"..Aku cakap, Makcik ambik ni simpan buat tambang.

Makcik tu terus teriak (menangis). Aku usap bahu dia. Tak tau nak cakap apa.

Aku pun berlalu meninggalkan makcik tu..

Sebak..

Sepanjang makan tu aku masih fikir pasal Makcik tu.

Lepas makan, kawan aku belikan roti, tapi makcik tu dah tiada kat situ..hopefully makcik tu OK la hendaknya.

Kesian, tak dapat bayangkan kalau tu mak kita, yang tak sihat, yang tak larat. Jalan sorang-sorang nak pergi minta bantuan. Allahuakbar.

Aku pun tak tahu apa masalah Makcik tu, apa latar belakang dia? bagaimana dia boleh sampai ke area office aku? siapa yang menunggu dia di rumah? Apa hajat dia berjalan jauh dalam keadaan dhaif ni? Apa tanggungan Makcik ni? Siapa nak tolong Makcik ni? Allahu. Semoga Allah permudahkan urusan Makcik tu. Semoga Allah selamatkan dia.

Kepada #baitulmal, buat la kerja dengan sebaiknya. Turun padang, lihat sendiri kedhaifan kariah anda. Ada ramai orang yang tak makan dan tak cukup makan sedang anda bertugas mengumpul borang - borang bantuan. Jejak orang-orang yang perlukan bantuan ni. Kadang-kadang, bantuan tu tak sampai pada yang benar-benar memerlukan..

Wallahua'lam..

A Beautiful Story and A Very Important Question to Ask : Why Should I Marry You??

The story was shared by my Facebook friend from Gresik, Indonesia. I actually lost contact with her in FB as she was no longer activate her account. She used to remind me of our beautiful Islam that we shared. May Allah will always protect you and keep you save my sister.

So, here's the story..

Once there was a very handsome, pious, well educated young man, whose parents emphasized for him to get married. They had seen so many marriage proposals, and he had turned them all down. The parents thought it was becoming a little ridiculous or suspected that he may have someone else in mind.

However every time the parents left the girls house, the young man would always say 'she's not the one!'

The young man only wanted a girl who was religious and practicing, however one evening his mother arranged for him, to meet a girl, who was religious, and practicing.

On that evening, the young man, and girl, were left to talk, and ask each other questions. (As one would expect).

The young man, being a gentleman that he was allowed, the lady to ask first.

The young girl asked the young man so many questions, she asked about his life, his education, his friends, his family, his habits, his hobbies, his lifestyle, his enjoyment, his pastime, his experiences, his shoe size......

The young man replied to all of her questions, without tiring, and politely, with a smile the young girl took up nearly all of the time, over an hour, and felt bad, and asked the young man do you have any questions?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The young man said, it's ok. I only have 3 questions...

The young girl thought, Wow, ONLY 3 questions okay, shoot !!!

===================================================

The young man's 1st question was,

Q1: Who do you love the most in the world, someone who's love nothing would ever overcome?

A1: She said, this is an easy question; my mother, he smiled !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2: 2nd question, he asked, you said that you read a lot of qur'an, could you tell me which surahs you know the meaning of?

A2: Hearing this she went red and embarrassed and said, I do not know the meaning of any yet, but I am hoping to soon insha'allah I've just been a bit busy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q3: The 3rd question the young man asked, was I have been approached for my hand in marriage, by girls that are a lot more prettier than you Why should I marry you?

A3: Hearing this the young girl was outraged, she stormed off to her parents with fury, and said I do not want to marry this man he is insulting my beauty, and intelligence. And the young man and his parents, were once again, left without an agreement of marriage.

This time, the young mans parents were really angry, and said what did you do to anger that girl, the family were so nice, and pleasant, and they were religious like you wanted. What did you ask the girl?? Tell us!

=============================================

1. The young man said, firstly I asked her, who do you love the most? she said, her mother, The parents said so, what is wrong with that??

The young man said, 'no one, is Muslim, until he loves Allah, and his messenger (saw) more than anyone else in the world'

If a woman loves Allah and the Prophet (pbuh) more than anyone, she will love me and respect me, and stay faithful to me, because of that love, and fear for Allah (swt). and we can share this love, because this love is greater than lust for beauty.

------------------------------------

2. The young man said, then I asked, you read a lot of qur'an, can you tell me the meaning of any surah?

And she said no, because I haven't had time yet. so I thought of that hadith 'ALL humans, are dead except for those who have knowledge' She has lived 20 years and not found ANY time, to seek knowledge, why would I marry a woman, who does not know her rights, and responsibilities, and what will she teach my children, except how to be negligent, because the woman IS the madrasa (school) and the best of teachers. And a woman who has no time for Allah, will not have time for her husband.

----------------------------------------------------------------

3. The third question I asked her was, that a lot of girls, more prettier than her, had approached me for marriage, why should I choose you?

That is why she stormed off, getting angry. The young man's parents said that is a horrible thing to say, why would you do such a thing, we are going back there to apologies. The young man said I said this on purpose, to test whether she could control her anger.

The Prophet (saw) said 'do not get angry, do not get angry, do not get angry' when asked how to become pious; because anger is from Satan.

If a woman cannot control her anger with a stranger she has just met, do you think she will be able to control it with her husband??

======================================

So, the moral of this story is, a marriage is based on:

*knowledge, not ONLY Out Looking (Beauty) !

*practice, not preaching/recite only (million of reciter are there) !

*Forgiveness, not Anger !

*Spiritual love, not Lust !

*and Compromise

One should look for a person who

1) Has love for Allah (swt) and the messenger (saw)

2) Has knowledge of the deen, and can act upon it.

3) can control their anger

4) and willing to compromise.

And it goes both ways, so women seeking a man, should look for the same things.

Aisha'h r.a reports "one day I was on a camel which was somewhat difficult to control and the Prophet s.a.w remarked "you must be compassionate, whenever there is compassion in something it adorns it, and when it is removed from something it disgraces it". reported by Imam bukhari (al-adab al-mufrad)

Solidarity for Palestine : HandsoffJerusalem

Bismillahirrohmanirrohim..

Let me shout it out for the last time and forever.. Palestine land is for the Palestinians!! Jerusalem is the eternal capital city of Palestine! Forever and always! I will stand with you..

It's a shameful decision by Trump and America! Shame on you Donald Trump!! Who are you to decide on this? This is totally a violation of international law! Ignoring the Palestinian Muslim and Christian who have rights to their land. You and your country, America is nothing but the mother of thieves and terror!!

Following the controversial declaration on Jerusalem al-Quds, Donald Trump has now threatened to cut aid to Palestinians, claiming they’re no longer willing to talk peace. Palestinians say these threats won’t terrify them and that they insist on Jerusalem al-Quds as their eternal capital. 

He also has threatened to withhold billions of dollars in aid from those nations which criticize his controversial decision to unilaterally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Allahurabbi. I lost word for this. It has been years over years of oppression and I don't know what else to say. Let's pray that Allah SWT will show us the way. Don't be a part of the silence and the deaf's world. Do whatever we can to help..Owh..this so heartbreaking...
