The Great Importance of Good Manners by Muslim


"According to most scholars, one of the reasons that Islam spread in the region of South-East Asia, to places like Indonesia and Malaysia was the fact that Muslim traders appeared to have excellent manners. There was no Jihad in Indonesia. We must also remember that the converse applies and that bad manners reflect badly on Islam."
A khutbah (sermon) by M. Waleed Kadous.

In the name of Allah, and praises and peace be upon the Prophet of Allah. I advise us all to fear Allah, and to be conscious of his omniscience, for whoever does so, Allah will provide for him a way out of trouble.

There is no God but Allah the Kind and Merciful, and thanks be to Allah, the lord of the Great Throne. We ask that you bring upon us your mercy and the doors of your forgiveness, and protection from our own sins, and forgiveness of our minor transgressions.

I declare that the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) fulfilled the trust, and conveyed the message, and we are witnesses to that reality.

Whom Allah chooses to guide, there is nothing and no-one that can mislead him and whom he chooses mislead, there is nothing and no-one that can guide him.

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. May the peace, blessings and mercy of Allah be upon you all.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending an Iftar organised by the UTS Muslim Society. There, Soadad Doureihi, whom I notice is in the audience today gave a very interesting seminar, discussing the relationship between faith and action, between belief and behaviour, among a number of other points he touched on. I thought that this was a fundamental point. If you have a belief, then it affects the way you behave.

If you believe that a particular area is full of landmines, it's unlikely that you'll go walking through that area. If you see a spider in front of you, which you believe is poisonous, you're going to move out of the way pretty much quickly to avoid being bitten; unless you've got some serious psychological problems. If you didn't move out of the way, and I knew you were reasonably sane, what would I conclude? I would have no choice but to conclude that you didn't believe that the spider was poisonous.

What about the Muslim then? The basic criteria of being a Muslim is the shahadah - (say the shahadah) - I believe that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad (SAWS) is the Prophet of Allah. Like any other belief, there are consequences of this belief. The point made by Soadad was that the consequences of the Shahadah were that we accepted that Allah was the one who should define our behaviour and tell us how to behave and that we should always obey Allah, as conveyed through the Qur'an and the actions of our Prophet which form the basis of our Hadith.

In consequence, if someone was to assert that you could be a Muslim in heart only, without the belief manifesting itself in behaviour, then the strength of belief in the original statement must be weak or flawed in the first place.

What I want to talk about today is a specialisation of the above - one way which belief is manifested in behaviour. It's an area which I think is sometimes ignored; we sometimes become preoccupied with other issues. Still it is fundamentally important - and it is not just me who says it is important, but the Prophet (SAWS).

Before I tell you what I am talking about, let me put in a proviso - I am a human, and I have flaws - and in a way I am reminding myself about this aspect of Islam just as much as I am reminding you. There's an old saying which I've found to be very true: the best way to learn is to teach. By teaching something it forces you to compile, realise and reorganise. So if I do make a mistake, I ask you to forgive me.

What am I talking about? I'm talking about manners, adaab, akhlaaq - whatever you want to call it. I can almost see some of the eyes rolling in the audience - oh no, yet another lecture on the importance of manners. But it's an important topic, one which I think needs to be addressed, and one which people who are asked to give talks will continue to give talks until they can see that all the talk is finally sinking in.

Just to give you some idea of how seriously Islam takes this issue, let's look at some sayings of the Prophet. The Prophet, in Muwatta Imam Malik said (Wa ma awtita illa li'utamima makarim al-akhlaaq). ``Verily, I was sent for no other reason, except to perfect the noble traits of character'' - in other words; one of the Prophet's goals, in fact, the primary mission was the perfection of how people behave - their manners.

Furthermore, the connection between Iman and manners is also made clear by the hadith of the Prophet which says that faith consists of seventy branches, the least of which is the removal of a treebranch blocking the road, and in another narration, sixty branches, and Hayaa' (which is an Arabic term, which is hard to translate and covers manners, modesty, guarding of chastity, etc) is a part of faith. So again, manners and behaviour are linked directly to Iman.

Furthermore, there are many other specific areas of manners that the Prophet (SAWS) and the Qur'an went to great extremes to emphasise. This is intended short talk, but let's just sample some areas in which we can see how important manners are.

In the area of family, the Prophet (SAWS) said: The best of you is the best of you to his family, and I am the best to his family.

In the area of neighbours, the Prophet (SAWS) said: The angel Gabriel kept advising me about neighbours until I thought he would make him entitled to some part of the inheritance.

In speech, the Prophet (SAWS) said: Nothing is weightier on the scales of the day of judgement than his good behaviour. Allah treats a person who is given to loose and vulgar talk with displeasure.

With regards to backbiting, the Qur'an says: ``wa la yaghtab ba'dukum ba'da ayuhibby ahadukum and ya'kula la'hma akheehi mayyitan fakarihtumuuhu''.(surah al hujuurat, verse 12) And do not backbite, would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother; you would surely hate it (so you should likewise hate backbiting).

With regards to parents, the Qur'an says: (fa la taqullahmuaa uffin wa la tanharhumaa) - say not even a word to them in contempt and don't repel them (surah al-israa verse 23).

In controlling one's temper, the Prophet (SAWS) says: The strong man is not the good wrestler, but the strong man is he who controls himself when he is angry.

With regards to being forgiving and kind, the Prophet (SAWS), said to one of the Sahabah: ``You have two qualities which Allah (SWT) likes and loves: one is mildness and the other is toleration''.

These are just some of the hadith and ayahs that cover different aspects of manners. While the hadiths are themselves important and the points they make even more so, what I am trying to get to is that these aspects of manners are linked with such high praise, and deviation from these manners is condemned with such denigrating disgust.

Furthermore, if you tried to summarise this; tried to extract the essence of all these manners and tried to pull out the one link that connects them all; I personally think that you would find that there is one aspect that they all have in common; and that is considerateness. What does it mean to be considerate? Once again, there are no better words on this matter than the words of the Prophet (SAWS): ``None of you will have true faith until he wishes for his Muslim brother what he wishes for himself''.

This hadith summarises the whole of the issues that I am trying to make - considerateness; thinking about your Muslim brother and what he is going through, and what impact your actions will have on him. Furthermore, it also, once again, emphasises the link between belief and action - that faith manifests itself in our behaviour to our brothers and sisters in Islam.

The sad thing is that you don't see this considerateness. For example, if you've ever tried to park near a mosque, you'll know that people will double park you, locking you in your place for hours on end, without showing any consideration. It happened to me yesterday. When you go use our bathroom upstairs, sometimes you'll find that the person before you left a mess with water on the ground. When you go to Friday prayers, there'll be people speaking while the Imam is speaking as if nothing was going on, showing little or no consideration for either the Imam or the people trying to listen to the Khutbah. And these are in things that are related to Islam; how do people behave in situations where Islam is not involved?

Some of you are probably thinking, ``Yeah, those are minor inconveniences, the guy's gone a bit overboard just to address a simple issue''. But manners are not a little issue, and the above are just some of the more salient versions of the problem.

Why should you choose to adopt good manners, even if they apparently inconvenience you? The primary reason you should adopt manners is out of obedience for Allah and his Prophet - they feel it is important, and it's quite clear that good manners are directly connected with Iman.

But what we find in the rest of Islam, as a number of scholars have put it is that Allah has not made anything Haram which benefits us, or allowed anything that hurts us. So while we would have good manners even if we did not know why Allah enjoined them, there are very good reasons for having good manners. So what are the possible reasons?

The first reason is that good manners are the best form of Da'wah. We all know the story of the Jew who was a neighbour of the Prophet (SAWS) who used to dump rubbish on his doorstep. One day, the Prophet found no rubbish. The next day he found no rubbish, so he asked about the Jew, only to find that he was sick. He then visited the sick Jew and tried to make him feel better. As a result, the Jew became Muslim.

According to most scholars, one of the reasons that Islam spread in the region of South-East Asia, to places like Indonesia and Malaysia was the fact that Muslim traders appeared to have excellent manners. There was no Jihad in Indonesia.

We must also remember that the converse applies and that bad manners reflect badly on Islam. For example, we received a letter from the sports association, complaining that the bathrooms for Friday prayer were left in a complete mess. They then asserted ``that it was known that Muslims wash their feet in the toilet''. Clearly, if the bathrooms were left clean such strange comments would not appear. Instead of being thought of as clean, decent, hygienic, well-mannered, mild, tolerant people; the image of Muslims here is that they are loud-mouthed, unclean, dole-bludging, violent and dodgy in their business dealings. While a certain amount of this is media beat-up, it is also self-inflicted to a certain extent, out of our not sticking to the Sunnah.

It is amazing how much one mild-mannered, polite Muslim can do to improve the reputation of Islam among his friends. So I would advise you all to be good, well-behaved, polite Muslims as a form of Da'wah.

A second reason, I think, is that I think we sometimes do not see the big picture. It is difficult to imagine for us that the lack of good manners could have drastic social effects. We think, ``so what if people are not always 100 per cent polite to one another - it's not a major thing for me to inconvenience someone else for a few minutes, nobody will mind''. But things are not always that simple.

I am not an anthropologist, but you don't need to be one to understand that society in general is a complex thing, and that it is extremely sensitive to things that, to many, do not appear to be major. Good manners is one of these.

Let me give you an example from our modern times, and then we'll look at how Islam and this modern research are related.

Some of you may have heard of some interesting research on crime, called the ``broken window'' effect. Two researchers did the following test. They put one car in the poorer areas of New York, with the hood open. They put another car in a really affluent suburb in California. The car in New York got pulled to pieces within 24 hours. The car in California remained untouched for two weeks. Then one of the researchers smashed one window in the car and within a day, the car ended up like the one in New York.

The conclusion? That by breaking the window on the car, they essentially marked the car as ``neglected'' and thus people thought of it as ``fair game'', even though it was in a good neighbourhood. Similarly, the authors concluded, if you allow little things to get away, like the breaking of windows, unless the window gets fixed very soon, all the windows get smashed.

So what? Well, three years ago, in New York, they got a new police commissioner. He decided to implement this idea, by ensuring that the police no longer just attack the big issues, the homicides, the car stealings, the breaking and entering; but also the little things, like making sure streets were clean, fixing broken windows. The net effect? Crime rates in New York, formerly one of the world's crime centres, fell by almost one third in three years.

Why does this work? By taking care of the little things, you give people a sense of security, of what in Arabic we call ``amanah''. Is this a new idea? No! If you look at the way Islam is structured, you will find that indeed this is a basic principle, that taking care of the ``micro'' if you like, leads to improvement in the ``macro''. In fact, in the Qur'an, Allah SWT is discussing what is said and Allah describes saying things without knowledge (in Surah Al-Nur) ``wa tahsabunahu hayyinan wa huwa 'indallahi 'atheem'' - you think of it as a light matter, while it is in the sight of allah, extremely serious.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the area of manners. By taking what some people think is a little thing and emphasising it, manners lay the foundation for a civilised society, and create that sense of ``amanah'', of security, that make it possible for people to become better Muslims. People will feel more comfortable, they will be less irritable, they will be more relaxed and have more energy to worship, to improve manners. If you like, the broken window is the manners, the little things that we have ignored, and by doing something that appears irrelevant, like adopting good manners, it may have a much greater effect than we can probably imagine.

Thirdly, human nature is such that when we do actions, they reinforce our beliefs. When we make Du'a to Allah, is that for Allah's sake? Allah knows what we want, we don't need to tell him. But it is the act of asking Allah, it is a symbol of our devotion to Allah and acknowledging that He is the only one who can grant us what we ask for. By making Du'a, we are reinforcing this belief, and this is why the Prophet (SAWS) encouraged it, saying things like ``du'a is the brain of worship'' and ``Allah likes the slave who is constantly making du'a''.

Similarly, by adopting good manners, we reinforce in ourselves the notion of consideration for other Muslims; that we have a responsibility to other Muslims, whether it be simple manners, or helping them to fight for freedom from oppressors. We create among ourselves a sense of brotherhood. And we strengthen our faith.

So how do we improve our manners? I'll just point to three steps that I think are important.

Imitation One way to learn how to do something is to pick a master at that particular thing and learn from him. And indeed in Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) we find that excellent example. In the Qur'an we find it says ``La qad kaana lakum fi rasulillahi 'uswatun hasanah liman kaana yarju llaha wal yawmil aakhir wa thakara Allaha kathiran'' (In suratul Ahzaab, verse 21). Indeed you have in the messenger of Allah an excellent example for anyone who him who looks to Allah and the Final Day and remembers Allah a lot. And in another verse in Suratul Qalam: ``Wa innaka la'ala khuluqin atheem''. And you (i.e the prophet) are indeed possesed of awesome manners. Ai'sha (RAA) when asked about the behaviour of the Prophet (SAWS) said that ``His manners were the Qur'an''.

So we should study the manners of the Prophet and try our best to imitate them.

Consideration However, there may be situations where the Prophet did not explicitly explain what we should do under particular conditions. In this case, the general rule discussed earlier applies, namely that none of us truly believes until he wants for his brother what he wants for himself. So before I undertake a particular action, I should always consider: Will this affect anybody else unduly? Who will I cause problems for by undertaking such an action?

Consultation The final way I think we can improve our manners is by advising each other. In the Qur'an, Allah says ``Wal Asr, in...'' By the age, indeed man is in loss, except for those who Believe, and do good Deeds, and advise each other in the Truth, and advise each other in patience.

The Prophet (SAWS) said: al-deen an-nasihah. Religion is advising one another. However, two things need to be clarified:

a.. The advice has to be given in the right way. You don't give advice in public in front of others; you give it in private - otherwise you embarass the person. It should be given as calmly and delicately as possible. b.. The advice must be received correctly. You shouldn't get angry about this person offering you advice, rather you should be grateful to this person for taking the time to discuss with you something that is not easy for him to discuss; and taking the risk that you might grow angry with him. Conclusion In conclusion, those of us who accept the Shahadah (and I hope that is all of us) must also accept that that belief has consequences. One of the most important of those is in having good manners. The benefits of good manners are many, three of which I think are important are da'wah, amanah and commitment to the Muslim community. How do we improve our manners? By imitating the prophet, by having consideration for other Muslims and consulting one another.

Thanks for your time. May Allah accept our fasting, and indeed, all our good deeds.

Wassalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah.

MENCARI YANG MAHA SATU (FT CAT FARISH) by UNIC

Terkapai-kapai diri dihanyut arus waktu
Kegelapan hati yang sering buat ku keliru
Dalam menguji pergolakkan emosi diri
Tak siapa tahu ada yang memerhati

(Mencari yang Maha Satu itu yang ku tuju)

Di dalam menjalani tiap dugaan yang diberi
Membawa pengertian hidup yang abadi
Tanpa perlu menipu diri sendiri
Yang menjadi lumrah duniawi

Seandainya kau yang memberi ruang
Akan ku baikki setiap kekurangan
Oleh itu diri yang memerlukan
Petunjuk darimu oh Ilahi

(Kau yang Maha Satu)

Diriku kini masih tercari-cari
Jawapan misteri tiap persoalan ini
Ku akui kesalahan dibuat segalanya
Gelap jadinya jiwa seadanya

(rap)
Ku cari terus ke situ
Itulah lampu hidupku
Terangilah gelap hatiku
Ku pohon restu dariMU

Akan ku baikki setiap kekurangan
Oleh itu diri yang memerlukan
Petunjuk darimu oh Ilahi

(Kau Yang Maha Satu)

Apabila tersilap langkahku
Tiba-tiba berbisik namaMu oh Ilahi
Terdetik di hatiku untuk sujud ke pangkuanMu
Mmeohon ampun dariMu

Dan selanjutnya ku tergoda lagi
Dunia ini yang sesat membunuhkan jiwaku
Kini ku mengakui teguranMu
Yang membuat ku sedar siapa diriku ini

U.N.I.C.C.A.T

(rap)

Tak semua yang sempurna nasihat di jalan yang lurus
Cerita yang dijadikan cerita
Dengan izin Yang Maha Esa yang wujud
Aku cinta dan cita
Segala yang ada bermula dari rasa resah
Aku akui harapan kasih dan hasratku tak setajam itu
Yang tak mampu risau lidah mudah di banjari
Fitnah melilau-lilau
Tuhan lindungilah dia dari kata-kata jahat itu
Doa-doa di pohon sentiasa setiap masa
Ampunilah dosa-dosa semasa daku ke sana
Dewasakanlah pemikiranku yang tak semegah mana
Salah silap ku berkarya tak pernah ku salah guna
Kau Yang Maha Satu (4x)

*thnx safa..

Dia Takdirmu Di Syurga | iluvislam.com

Hati manusia sangat fleksibel, tersentuh, mudah bimbang tatkala takdir tidak sebulu dengan fitrah, tatkala diserang malapetaka di luar dugaan resah bukan kepalang, akal separa waras.

Bila keinginan diharapkan menemani, datang pula bebanan menghantui. Kenapa, mengapa, apa berlegar, berputar ligat membunuh daya mampu dan mahu.

Mampu, dalam erti kata berpecak silat menentang badai, dan mahu, berubah.

Berkali-kali kita diingatkan, manusia tidak sirna dari dugaan, sering diduga dan menduga. Tabi-'e alam, memang kita memerlukan antara satu sama lain, tiada siapa bisa mendabik dada dia boleh hidup tanpa perlu kepada manusia lain, hatta hartawan sendiri masih memerlukan khidmat orang bawahan, mengaji mengurus dan sebagainya.

Justeru itu, masalah akan ada di mana-mana tanpa dipinta, cuma kita disarankan agar berhati-hati, sedia, sabar, dan belajar dari masalah tersebut.

Jodoh, adalah hal berkaitan dengan fitrah, mahu tidak mahu setiap daripada kita pasti dipaksa bergelumang meredah mehnah, suka duka, jerih perih sebelum bahagia dalam rumahtangga direalitikan.

Manusia tidak selama-lama akan kebal, pasti ada satu saat dia akan tunduk, jatuh. Oleh kerana itu, Islam mengajar agar kita tidak sombong untuk belajar daripada alam, pengalaman, sirah buat pendinding kalis kecewa, sengsara, dan lara.

Kita kian tenang dalam damai ketika mencari cinta Ilahi nan abadi.

Kita mesti selalu jadi baik, agar yang baik juga Allah Taala jodohkan untuk kita. Cinta yang dicari baik, tetapi cinta yang ditemui lebih baik lagi.

Keluarga ibarat sebuah negara, suami ialah seorang pemimpin menerajui sebuah kerajaan besar, tidak boleh dipandang enteng.

Berjaya atau tidak seorang suami itu dilihat berjaya atau tidak anak buah di bawah jagaannya.

Perkahwinan yang sempurna bukanlah sentiasa sempurna, melainkan ketidak-sempurnaan yang ditangani dengan kemahuan pada agama, syari-'at aturan daripada al-Quran dan as-Sunnah.

Tiada apa yang sempurna dalam dunia ini kerana ini hanyalah dunia. Tidak penting di mana kita bermula, tetapi lebih penting di mana kita akan berakhir.

"Kali ini sudah dua kali peluang saya berikan, tapi abang masih tidak mahu berubah..." rintih seorang isteri bila mana tahu si suami main kayu tiga.

Kadangkala kita terlalu mengharap sesuatu yang ideal sehingga kita terlepas pandang dengan segala kebaikan yang ada pada pasangan di depan mata, hingga kita cuba membandingkan dengan insan lain.

Salah kita juga, dulu bercinta bagaikan hilang waras manusia normal, bibir hanya berbicara kebaikan pasangan sahaja, memuji kecantikan pasangan.

Bila dah akad, pasti kebaikan juga diharapkan, namun panas tidak selalu sampai ke petang, bila ada step tersilap, maka mulalah persoalkan ini dan itu.

Cabaran hidup berkeluarga tidak seindah yang diimpikan, khabar tidak seindah rupa.

Tidak boleh menjadi idealistik. Banyak tanggungjawab harus dipikul, banyak keseronokan masa bujang yang terpaksa dikorbankan, karenah anak-anak yang bisa menggugat kesabaran.

Bila dah berumahtangga suami isteri bukan sahaja berkongsi satu bilik, satu katil, satu almari, tapi juga satu rasa, satu tanggungjawab. Bebanan kewangan diatasi, dikoreksi bersama.

Di sini, cinta akan mekar berputik, kekurangan ada di sebelah pasangan dilengkapkan pasangan lain.

Usia perkahwinan juga akan melalui pra-matang, maka dalam tempoh demikian, terlalu banyak agenda perlu dirangkumkan, apa patut didahulukan, dan mana patut dikemudiankan.


Sebelum Kahwin

Berusaha menjadi terbaik untuk mendapat yang terbaik, bukan menilai orang lain baik tapi diri sendiri tiada usaha menjadi baik.

Maka segalanya dilakukan dengan usaha dan niat yang ikhlas, niat baik akan dipertemukan dengan takdir-Nya yang baik-baik. Kebaikan kita dinilai oleh masa, kalau umur dah berginjak 20-25 tahun, tapi masih bermain PSP, baca majalah mangga, belek komik bersiri, bukankah teramat jauh untuk jadi baik.

Allah Taala berfirman, bermaksud: "...perempuan-perempuan yang baik untuk lelaki-lelaki yang baik dan lelaki-lelaki yang baik untuk perempuan-perempuan yang baik.

Mereka (yang baik) itu adalah bersih dari (tuduhan buruk) yang dikatakan oleh orang-orang (yang jahat)" an-Nur (24:26)

Benar kita boleh berlakon, depan orang cerah perut ibu mengandung, tapi sampai bila, tembelang kalian pasti dapat dihidu, bila dah kahwin semua itu sudah tiada lagi, kembali pada perwatakan sebelumnya.

Kalian berhak memasang cita-cita, memiliki isteri mampu menjaga pakaian dan makan minum, mendamba isteri rajin bertadarrus al-Quran dan bertahajjud malam, isteri rajin dalam kerja-kerja dakwah, mengimpikan isteri melahirkan zuriat soleh dan solehah, menginginkan isteri berkongsi suka dan duka, kalian boleh buat demikian, tapi sanggupkah kalian juga menjadi seperti apa seorang isteri harapkan, menemani di kala tahajjud, menyediakan pakaian dan makan minum, menjadi pemimpin baik buat dirinya dan anak-anak yang soleh dan solehah.

Mereka bertadabbur, dan memahami kalam Allah satu ini;

Allah Taala berfirman, bermaksud: "Kaum lelaki itu adalah pemimpin dan pengawal yang bertanggungjawab terhadap kaum perempuan..." an-Nisaa' (4:34)

Menetapkan niat untuk menjadi lelaki yang baik untuk keluarganya serta hasrat untuk melahirkan generasi baru yang membawa ad-Deen merupakan usaha yang murni.

Sudah tentu usaha sedemikian memerlukan keteguhan dan kecekalan serta usaha yang berterusan sambil memohon pertolongan Ilahi. Niat yang baik akan menatijahkan hasil yang baik.

Seorang lelaki menyukai perempuan yang mempunyai sedikit sentuhan maskulin manakala perempuan yang akan menjadi isteri juga menyukai lelaki yang mempunyai sentuhan feminin.

Ringkasnya, suami akan suka isteri yang boleh berdikari menyelesaikan beberapa tugasan atau kerja-kerja yang selama ini dilakukan oleh suami, manakala isteri juga menyukai suaminya sekali sekala buat kerja rumah dan memasak untuk keluarga.

Ada kalanya suami memerlukan isteri membantunya dalam menyelesaikan kerja-kerja yang selama ini suami yang lakukan, adakalanya si isteri memerlukan suami untuk ringan tulang dalam hal berkaitan house-chores.

Tiadalah itu satu harapan yang melangit, melainkan rasa ingin merealisasikan sesuatu yang sudah berkurangan dalam kehidupan insan hari ini.

Rasulullah s.a.w dalam kesibukannya berdakwah dan menjadi penghulu ummat juga mampu memenuhi hak-hak keluarganya, dan membina satu keluarga Islami yang bahagia, maka kita juga berusaha untuk menjadi seperti baginda.

Saya tidak setuju kalian bercinta sebelum kahwin. Cinta tidak salah, tapi masalah besar adalah orang bercinta, salah meletakkan harga sebuah cinta. Kalau sudah rasa tidak mampu, maka jauhilah maksiat cinta.

Kebanyakan orang bercinta terbawa-bawa dengan khayalan cinta sehingga bersikap terlalu romantik. Bila berbual, banyak control macho sehingga tidak berani bercakap jujur dalam hal-hal tertentu.

Bila bercakap, banyak tipu dari memberitahu perkara yang sebenar.

Bila merancang, banyak manis dari yang pahit. Bila berjanji banyak hipokrit dari realistik. Ini lumrah orang bercinta. Kerana itu, elakkan mengenali pasangan terlalu intim sebelum berkahwin. Dibimbangi, kalian terkejut selepas berkahwin.

Sanggupkah kalian bercinta?


Selepas Kahwin

Kehidupan adalah realiti yang memotretkan pelbagai palitan warna emosi, suka duka sebagai diari dibaca, dicermati pada hari muka, hal baik-baik sudah pasti diulang dan diperbaiki dari semasa ke semasa.

Kehidupan adalah lautan yang dipenuhi gelombang, taufan dan goncangan, membawa pelbagai cuaca, sudah pasti memberi kesan membekas di hati manusia.

Hati manusia ibarat sebuah sampan kecil yang dipaksa berlayar dalam lautan luas. Mahu atau tidak, manusia perlu benar-benar memahami, belajar dari lautan kehidupan sebaik sahaja mereka membuka mata, dan bersedia memulakan pelayaran.

Suri teladan para pelayar sudah ada di hadapan kalian, tinggal lagi kalian memilih cara mereka atau membentuk kaedah pelayaran tersendiri berdasarkan pengalaman mereka.

Pelayar terbaik, tidak lain dan bukan adalah baginda s.a.w.

Cinta itu bukan alasan utama untuk dapat bahagia, kerana ramai juga bercerai kerana cinta.

Ramai orang bercinta bagai hilang ingatan, tapi bercerai berai juga.

Ramai yang kahwin suka sama suka, tapi rumahtangga kecoh.

Ini bukan soal cinta atau suka.

Ini soal sejauh mana kebergantungan suami isteri pada Allah Taala dalam setiap urusan, Sejauh mana mereka sepakat dalam mencari berkat dalam rumahtangga.

Dengan kehendak Allah sahaja, rumahtangga akan berjaya dan bahagia.

Pohonlah kebaikan pada-Nya, serta terus menerus menjadi baik.

Andai ombak kuat melanda bahtera, jangan disangka tiada harapan dapat berlabuh dengan selamat.

Ingatlah semakin kita diuji, itu tandanya kasih sayang Allah Taala kepada kita dan Dia tidak akan membebankan hamba-Nya melainkan sesuai dengan apa yang daya kekuatan.

Allah Taala berfirman yang bermaksud: "Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya" al-Baqarah (2:286)

Makin banyak kita diuji, makin dekat kita kepada-Nya dan semakin matang dan penuh hikmah kita menyelesaikan sebarang masalah dengan kaedah terbaik, dipersetujui bersama.

Bersabarlah para isteri dengan suami yang kebanyakannya akan diam dalam membatu, dan bersabarlah para suami dengan leteran dan bebelan para isteri yang adakalanya untuk menyedarkan anda.

Dialah satu-satunya insan yang terbaik untuk diri kalian, bukan kedua, bukan ketiga.

Berusahalah melengkapi kekurangan antara satu sama lain dengan segala kelebihan dan kebaikan pada diri masing-masing.

Bukannya untuk meruntuhkan masjid yang dibina dan memisahkan ikatan yang terjalin.

Carilah salah sendiri kenapa tidak mencari yang kurang baik tapi bisa diasuh menjadi baik.

Rumahtangga bahagia, bukan bahagia cukup material dan keperluan jasmani bahkan keperluan rohani.

Maka bercintalah kalian sepuas-puasnya, kerana kalian adalah halal bagi pasangan.

Setiap hembusan cinta kalian, pasti berbuahkan pahala di kebun cinta Ilahi di taman syurga nanti.

Bukankan ironi sangat aneh, bercinta sebelum kahwin lebih hebat berbanding bercinta selepas akad, jelas sekali kalian hipokrit.

Kenapa perlu mengembalikan cinta?

Saya merasakan setiap manusia itu entitled dan deserved untuk hidup dalam tenang dan bahagia.

Hidup tanpa cinta ibarat burung yang terbang dalam sangkar.

Selagi ada ruang untuk bercinta, maka sirami dan bajailah cinta itu.

Cinta selepas Ijab dan Qabul, sesungguhnya mampu untuk diluahkan dan masih ada untuk dihadiahkan bersama.

Selepas kahwin anda tetap sebagai nakhoda. Nakhoda kepada para kelasi di bawah tanggungan anda.

Baik buruk kesudahan perjalanan mereka berada di tangan kalian.

Prinsip dan paradigma utuh sahaja akan selamat mengemudi badai dunia.

Rujukan: Rezza Khanafiah
