just a sharing ~
as usual,while browsing through fb, i found out this article . i reckon this article is very useful to us, especially Muslims. but i know,most people don't like reading this type of lengthy article . but please,this is sharing and i think as a Muslim, we should know this . happy reading !
Suatu hari ada seorang lelaki yang menemui Ibrahim bin Adham. Dia berkata:
"Wahai Aba Ishak! Selama ini aku gemar bermaksiat. Tolong berikan aku nasihat."
Setelah mendengar perkataan tersebut Ibrahim berkata: "Jika kamu mahu menerima lima syarat dan mampu melaksanakannya, maka boleh kamu melakukan maksiat."
Lelaki itu dengan tidak sabar-sabar bertanya. "Apakah syarat-syarat itu, wahai Aba Ishak?"Ibrahim bin Adham berkata:
01."Syarat pertama, jika kamu bermaksiat kepada Allah, jangan memakan rezeki-Nya."
Mendengar itu dia mengernyitkan kening seraya berkata:
"Dari mana aku mahu makan? Bukankah semua yang ada di bumi ini rezeki Allah?
"Ya!" tegas Ibrahim bin Adham.
"Kalau kamu sudah memahaminya, masih mampukah memakan rezekinya, sedangkan kamu selalu berkeinginan melanggar larangan-Nya?"
02."Yang kedua," kata Ibrahim, "kalau mahu bermaksiat, jangan tinggal di bumi-Nya!
Syarat ini membuat lelaki itu terkejut setengah mati.
Ibrahim kembali berkata kepadanya:
"Wahai Abdullah, fikirkanlah, apakah kamu layak memakan rezeki-Nya dan tinggal di bumi-Nya, sedangkan kamu melanggar segala larangan-Nya?"
"Ya! Anda benar." kata lelaki itu. Dia kemudian menanyakan syarat yang ketiga. Ibrahim menjawab:
03."Kalau kamu masih mahu bermaksiat, carilah tempat tersembunyi yang tidak dapat terlihat oleh-Nya!"
Lelaki itu kembali terperanjat dan berkata:
"Wahai Ibrahim, ini nasihat macam mana? Mana mungkin Allah tidak melihat kita?"
"Ya, kalau memang yakin demikian, apakah kamu masih berkeinginan melakukan maksiat?" kata Ibrahim.
Lelaki itu mengangguk dan meminta syarat yang keempat.
Ibrahim melanjutkan:
04."Kalau malaikat maut datang hendak mencabut rohmu, katakanlah kepadanya, Ketepikan kematianku dulu. Aku masih mahu bertaubat dan melakukan amal soleh"
Kemudian lelaki itu menggelengkan kepala dan segera tersedar dan berkata:
"Wahai Ibrahim , mana mungkin malaikat maut akan memenuhi permintaanku?"
"Wahai Abdullah, kalau kamu sudah meyakini bahawa kamu tidak boleh menunda dan mengundurkan datangnya kematianmu, lalu bagaimana engkau boleh lari dari kemurkaan Allah?"
"Baiklah, apa syarat yang kelima?"
Ibrahim pun menjawab:
05."Wahai Abdullah kalau malaikat Zabaniyah datang hendak mengiringmu ke api neraka di hari kiamat nanti, jangan engkau ikut bersamanya."
Perkataan tersebut membuat lelaki itu insaf. Dia berkata:
"Wahai Aba Ishak, sudah pasti malaikat itu tidak membiarkan aku menolak kehendaknya." Dia tidak tahan lagi mendengar perkataan Ibrahim. Air matanya bercucuran. "Mulai saat ini aku ingin bertaubat kepada Allah." katanya sambil teresak-esak.
selamat beramal friends !

.normal.

everything goes back to its normal position. and i am in very comfortable situations. just follow the flow here. wake up early in the morning. go to class as usual. go back to hostel with that weird lift. listen to lecturers during lecture hour in that sauna hall. everybody seems to have their own manual or electric fans. sometimes fall asleep. during that 5 mins break will talk actively with awesome talkative friends. then go to tutorial class. after that, go to perhimpunan if there's any. mentor mentee meeting perhaps. go back,take bath, dinner,tutorial questions and sleep. that's the way things are right now.
