Soothing Kalimaat

I live in a country where people take promises lightly, forgetting that the Prophet  ﷺ    has said one of four characteristics of a hypocrite is breaking promises. We may have come across this hadeeth but sadly, we didn't observe. Some of us may think it's got to be the most serious matter. It doesn't apply to simpler ones. So, they belittle their 'not-so-important' promises. Little do they know every small matter regarding the deen, matters. You said you were coming at nine but it's now almost ten. You said it'd be on Friday but you broke your promise asking for the next day. The next day you ask, "What about the night, instead?" And this never doesn't happens. No matter who you are whether it be you're their closest friends or family, they're bothered. If you can't come at 9, why say so? If you can't meet your promise, why promised? Be real. Be realistic. Say in shaa Allah not but not because you don't wanna say no but...

It's unbelievable the state of the Youth. People making fun of Islam. Muslims.  Others join in without even thinking the consequences they will have to face on the Day of Judgment. I can tell that they don't know what they are saying but that doesn't cover up for them the fact that they have to make time to study their own religion. The basic. The foundation is for everyone to revise every now and then in order to strengthen their eeman . Eventually, our circle of friends gets smaller. It saddens me seeing how some people behave. They speak as if what the ulama do only applies to the ulama and those who follow. As if saying " My ustadz  does not forbid us. Maybe it's just your ulama's 'opinion', thus, for your people only. So 'respect the differences'." And another goes, "Preach to those who wanna be preached. Not here. " Subhanallah. It's painful to see your friends go from a practicing Muslim to a what they call moder...

Dulu, aku tidak pernah mengerti mengapa seseorang memilih untuk tidak menjelaskan sesuatu dan rela mempertaruhkan harga dirinya padahal satu penjelasan saja akan membungkam mulut-mulut usil mereka. Namun sekarang aku mengerti, tidak semua hal membutuhkan penjelasan dan tidak semua orang berhak mendapatkan penjelasan. It used to baffle me how somebody would rather have their dignity at stake than to explain when all it takes is one explanation to clear rumours up. But now I understand, not everything has to be explained and not everybody is worthy of an explanation.

Niat hati mengingatkan Tetapi apa yang ada di benaknya? Apa aku sedikitpun terkesan sombong karena mau mengingatkan ketika banyak orang yang bungkam dan apatis? Bahwa aku terkesan memojokkan dia yang tidak tahu? Aku hanya menyampaikan secuil ayat perihal kebenaran Secara pribadi bukan bertebaran online Namun memang itu semua bergantung pola pikir si pendengar Dipengaruhi dengan how they were brought up Dipengaruhi lingkungan (kawan) Dan kondisi psikologisnya. Dear my muslim friends, Apa yang ada di benakmu ketika seseorang menasihatimu? Apa kamu merasa terancam? Kamu merasa direndahkan? Apa kamu takut dia berhasil mendapatkan suaramu seolah membuatmu takluk? Ini bukanlah tentang keuntungan pribadi. Mendapatkan dukungan, mendapatkan backup? Tidak sama sekali. Namun hanya sebuah keinginan untuk mengingatkan akan kebenaran. Karena takkan rela hati ini melihat seseorang yang kucinta terjatuh ke dalam kekhilafan tanpa diri ini memberikan tangan Teman, coba tanyakan pad...
