bersabar itu indah

kesabaran dalam pandangan islam  merupakan akhlak yang baik dan Allah SWT akan menganugerahkan pahala kepada setiap hamba-Nya yang mampu bersabar.

Amirul Mukminin Ali bin Abi Thalib berkata,

"Apabila seorang muslim mendapat musibah, janganlah sekali-kali dia mengeluh kepada Tuhannya." Kemudian beliau berkata, "Dalam kitab taurat telah ditulis bahawa orang yang bersedih kerana dunia, sebenarnya tidak puas dengan aturan Allah. Dan barangsiapa yang mengeluh lantaran ditimpa musibah, maka dia telah mengeluh terhadap Allah."

Rasulullah SAW bersabda,

"Seseorang mukmin yang ditimpa bencana dan bersabar terhadapnya akan mendapat pahala seribu orang syahid"

maka, marilah bersabar dengan dugaan yang Allah berikan kepada kita, kerana sesungguhnya, kesabaran itu sebagian dari iman seseorang yang bergelar mukmin.

wallahua'lam.

fingers crossed

A long time ago people (christians) were very superstitious and believed "cross"ing their fingers was like the sign of the cross (salib) which they believed was magically lucky (wiki.answers.com)

in modern days, westerners and people around the world still practice this for wishing of good luck. and we muslims follow them without knowing the real meaning.

now that we know the real meaning of "crossing fingers", should we still do it or even use the term in our daily lives? i've noticed that most muslims in malaysia often use this term for wishing people good luck. it's sad because i used to live in the UK, and never practice this even once.

let us be alert of the tiny things like this, since it may effect our aqidah. better avoid than sorry in the after life. there are many islamic terms that we can use that can gain Allah SWT's blessing. InsyaAllah.

just a reminder for us muslims, since it's Ramadan :)
