Kisah Si Pembuat Roti .............

Kisah Si Pembuat Roti:

Diriwayatkan dari Abu Burdah, ia bercerita, "Menjelang wafatnya Abu Musa berpesan, 'Wahai anakku, ingatlah tentang kisah si pemilik roti'.

Dikisahkan ada seorang laki-­laki yang beribadah dalam padepokannya selama 70 tahun, tidak pernah turun (beranjak), kecuali satu hari saja. Ketika itu ada setan yang datang menyerupai seorang perempuan. Kemudian, ahli ibadah ini hidup bersama perempuan tersebut selama 7 hari 7 malam.

Setelah itu terbukalah tabirnya, dia pun keluar dan ber­taubat. Setiap kali dia melangkahkan kaki untuk melakukan sesuatu, ia selalu shalat dan bersujud.

Suatu malam ia berlindung ke sebuah toko, di sana terdapat 12 orang miskin. Karena merasa sangat lelah, ,akhirnya ber­istirahat di sela-sela antara dua orang lelaki miskin.

Tiba-tiba seorang rahib datang, dia diutus mendatangi orang-orang miskin ini setiap malam dengan membawa roti yang banyak, lalu memberikannya ke setiap orang di antara mereka itu satu roti besar. Rahib itu melewati laki-laki yang bertaubat tersebut, mengira bahwasanya dia juga orang miskin. Akhirnya dia pun memberinya satu roti besar pula.

Ada satu orang miskin yang belum kebagian roti, lalu bertanya kepada rahib, 'Mengapa Anda tidak memberi aku roti?' Rahib yang membagikan roti itu menjawab, 'Sungguh malam ini aku tidak memberimu sesuatu apa pun'.

Laki-laki yang bertaubat itu memperhatikan roti yang dipe­gangnya, lalu memberikannya kepada si miskin yang tidak kebagian dan sangat membutuhkan karena lapar dan lelah.

Keesokan harinya, laki-laki bertaubat itu meninggal ....

Kemudian, ibadahnya selama 70 tahun ditimbang dengan kemaksiatannya selama 7 malam. Ternyata lebih berat keburukan­nya yang 7 malam. Dan kebaikannya memberi sepotong roti ditimbang dengan kemaksiatannya selama 7 malam, dan lebih berat kebaikannya memberi roti.

Abu Musa berkata, 'Wahai anakku, ingat-ingatlah kisah si pemberi roti itu'."

Demikianlah, sesungguhnya sedekah itu dapat meredam­kan murka Allah. Oleh karena itu, bersegeralah untuk menginfak­kan harta kita di jalan Allah. Sadarilah bahwa dunia ini fana, tetapi segala sesualu yang kita sedekahkan akan kekal di sisi Allah Ta'ala. Suatu saat nanti, kita pasti akan memetiknya di sana, kita akan merasa puas dengan apa yang telah kita berikan. Akan tetapi, jika kita pelit, takut akan menjadi fakir dan kekurangan, lalu kita mengumpulkan harta tersebut karena tamak dan bakhil, maka kita akan menyesal dan celaka.

Simple Keys to a Fuller Life ...................


What’s Best for All


The Power of Choice
Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives. Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel. When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the more profound its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.


How Do You Make Choices? 
If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what’s best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, spouse, friend, teacher, businessperson, and politician truly did their best to choose what’s best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.


It’s the Intention
“ But how do I know what is really best?” you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesn’t matter. What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what’s best for all. If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there’s no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what’s best for all, your conscience stays clear and open. This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind.  


What’s Best for Me, Too! 
Choosing what’s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. An overly exhausted mother can lose her temper easily. Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose what’s best for all. 



By remembering and living these simple keys to life as you move through each day, your life is bound to grow richer and fuller. You can start each day by recommitting yourself to these keys. At difficult times during the day, or even when just resting or taking a break, you can remind yourself of one or more of these intentions. At night before sleep, give thanks for the day and ask for what's best for all who share our world. 


Consider also asking family and friends who share this commitment to support and remind you in times of need. Take some time after you finish reading this to explore how you might apply these keys to current challenges in your life, and invite suggestions and feedback from others. And most importantly, open to divine guidance in digesting and integrating what you've read here. 


If you are still uncertain about these keys, practice them for a while to see if your life changes for the better. If after awhile you don't see the results you'd hoped for, adapt them in a way that works for you. Consider dropping one or adding new keys of your own. Explore the possibility that living with clear intentions provides direction and focus, and can lead to a deeper, more meaningful life. In whatever way feels best to you, give yourself a chance to make your life richer and fuller.


No matter what happens, no matter what you choose to do with these keys to life and with your life in general, know that there are those of us here who continually wish you much love and all the very best in your journey through life. We love and support you in being the very best you can be every day of your life.

Alive ...........

" Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.
And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Change ............

" You change for two reasons: 
Either you learn enough that you want to, 
or you've been hurt enough that you have to."


 In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on earth, it's what's under the ground that creates what's above the ground. That's why placing your attention on the fruits that you have already grown is futile. You cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. You can, however, change tomorrow's fruits. But to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.


 The appearance of things change  according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.


 The world we have created is a product of our thinking.
It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.


 Deep down inside we know
that the best gifts
don't come from catalogs
or shopping malls
They don't come in brightly-colored packages
or fancy envelopes
and they're not sitting under a tree somewhere...
 
The best gifts come from the heart.
They come when we look at each other
REALLY look at each other
and say 'You mean a lot to me'
or 'I'm so glad you're a part of my life'
 
A gift like that
will never go out of style
or be forgotten
or be returned for a different size.
A gift like that can change the world.


 This bright, new day... complete with 24 hours of opportunities, choices, and attitudes… a perfectly matched set of 1440 minutes.This unique gift, this one day, cannot be exchanged , replaced or refunded. Handle with care. Make the most of it. There is only one to a customer.


 When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.

Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.

No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.

If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will  change.



The Beauty of Life ...............

 






 

The beauty of life I miss when my thoughts race in an unsteady haste

Is worrying about problems the solution or is it only that I am making waste?

Taking what I have for granted instead of appreciating the good in life that awaits

Do I not take notice of the kindness others show or do I dwell on past experiences that arise which bring about the hates

Life is too short not to have fun and experience the joy of giving and sharing one's self as I awake to a brand new day

To overcome the small unimportant problems or worries that mount because of the lack of not understanding one's inner self and not applying one's faith by turning and running away

I look around and see what's before me and come to notice I have a choice either to live life to the fullest or watch it go by

Life is what you make of it and how you perceive yourself by making positive choices and decisions that you will remember and know as your time has passed that you will not have to ask yourself why?

Struggles and challenges of making a living and caring for one's self and loved ones is what most of us live for

It's the determination to make our lives more meaningful and happy as difficult as this is to achieve when we fall short of our expectations and cry out in silence of wanting more

I am a person who accepts the good with bad and glad I am healthy and alive to be able to view life as the person who I am without regret or sorrow

I live for today to know my horizon can be reached for it is my tomorrow

Life Is Beautiful ..............

Life is not a bed of roses
Neither full of thorns
It's beautiful
It's wonderful
Needed to be careful

Life is aim
Aiming for success
Hard working in pain
Sometimes in vain
But no pain no gain

Life is hope
Loosing hope
They're looser
Wiser ones hope
They're winner

Life is battleship
Having kingship
In times of wars
Citizen's patriotism
Protects country ship

Life is relationship
Here we make friendship
Some are friendly
And are trustworthy
Out of many, they're few

Life is a challenge
Its full of ups and downs
One being brave
One being wise
Wins the challenge

Life is Love
Love for one's parents
Love for one's childrens
Love among lovers
And to live life, its love

Life is a gift of God
It's only life to live
Let love rule our life
To make life wonderful
As life is beautiful

Silent Love ...........

Silent Love…………. 



Have you ever been silently in love

With someone you can never have?
So close you can touch his hand
Feel his lips on you
Feel his arms around you
Yet, so far to feel his heart? 


Have you ever lived in pretense

Quietly loving without any condition?
A feeling of love that's unknown
Hiding it, not knowing for how long.


Have you ever fallen deeply

Loving the person unconditionally?
So afraid to say what you feel
Acting normal, keeping things still. 


Have you ever been hurt unintentionally

But put on a smile, pretended to be happy?
Deep inside you're in pain and suffering
But outside you're jolly and laughing. 


Why does holding his hand feel so right?

Your heart smiles every time he's at sight
Hearing his voice makes your day
Hope you can hug him in a special way.

Desire ..........

An emperor was coming out of his palace for his morning walk when he met a beggar.
He asked the beggar, "What do you want?"

The beggar laughed and said, "You are asking me as though you can fulfill my desire!"

The king was offended. He said, "Of course I can fulfill your desire. What is it? Just tell me."

And the beggar said, "Think twice before you promise anything."

The beggar was no ordinary beggar, he was the emporers past life master.
He had promised in that life, "I will come and try to wake you in your next life.
This life you have missed but I will come again." But the king had forgotten completely
-- who remembers past lives? So he insisted, "I will fulfill anything you ask. I am a very powerful emperor,
what can you possibly desire that I can not give to you?"

The beggar said, "It is a very simple desire. You see this begging bowl?
Can you fill it with something?"

The emperor said, "Of course!" He called one of his viziers and told him,
"Fill this mans begging bowl with money." The vizier went and got some money
and poured it into the bowl, and it disappeared. And he poured more and more,
and the moment he would pour it, it would disappear. And the begging bowl remained always empty.

The whole palace gathered. By and by the rumor went throughout the whole capital,
and a huge crowd gathered. The prestige of the emperor was at stake.
He said to his viziers, "If the whole kingdom is lost, I am ready to lose it,
but I cannot be defeated by this beggar."

Diamonds and pearls and emeralds, his treasuries were becoming empty.
The begging bowl seemed to be bottomless. Everything that was put into it -- everything!
-- immediately disappeared, went out of existence. Finally it was the evening,
and the people were standing there in utter silence. The king dropped at the fet
of the beggar and admitted his defeat. he said, "Just tell me one thing. You are victorious
- but before you leave, just fulfill my curiousity. What is the begging bowl made of?"

The beggar laughed and said, "It is made up of the human mind.
There is no secret. It is simple made up of human desire."

This understanding transforms life. Go into one desire -- what is the mechanism of it?
First there is a great excitement, great thrill, adventure. you feel a great kick.
Somehting is going to happen, you are on the verge of it. And then you have the car,
you have the yacht, you have the house, you have the woman, and suddenly all is meaningless again.

What happens? Your mind has dematerialised it. The car is standing in the drive,
but there is no excitement anymore. The excitement was only in getting it.
You became so drunk with the desire that you forgot your inner nothingness.
Now the desire is fulfilled, the car in the drive, the woman in your bed, the money
in your bank account - again excitement disappears. Again the emptiness is there,
ready to eat you up. Again you have to create another desire to escape this yawning abyss.

That's how one moves from one desire to another desire. That's how one remains a beggar.
Your whole life proves it again and again -- every desire frustrates.
And when the goal is achieved, you will need another desire.

The day you understand that desire as such is going to fail comes the turning point in your life.

The other journey is inwards. move inwards, come back home.

The Privilege of Being Human.........




Mankind is so absorbed in life's pleasures and pain that a man has hardly a moment to think what a privilege it is to be human. Life in the world contains, no doubt, more pain than pleasure and that which one considers to be pleasure costs so much that, when it is weighed against the pain it costs, it also becomes pain. As man is so absorbed in his worldly life he traces nothing but pain and complaint in life and, until he changes his outlook, he cannot understand the privilege of being human.


Yet, however unhappy a person may be in his life, if he were asked, 'Would you prefer to be a rock rather than a human being?' His answer would be that he would rather suffer and be a human being than be a rock. Whatever be the condition of man's life, if he were asked, 'Would you rather be a tree than a man?' He would choose to be a human being. And although the life of the birds and beasts is so free from care and troubles, so free in the forest, yet if a man were asked whether he would prefer to be one of them and be in the forest, he would surely prefer to be a man. This shows that when human life is compared with the other different aspects of life it proves its greatness and its privilege, but when it is not compared with them man is discontented and his eyes are closed to the privilege of being human.


Another thing is that man is mostly selfish, and what interests him is that which concerns his own life. Not knowing the troubles of the lives of others he feels the burden of his own life even more than the burden of the whole world. If only man in his poverty could think that there are others who are poorer than he, in his illness that there are others whose sufferings are perhaps greater than his, in his troubles that there are others whose difficulties are perhaps greater than his! Self-pity is the worst poverty. It overwhelms man and he sees nothing but his own troubles and pains, and it seems to him that he is the most unhappy person in the world, more so than anyone else.


A great thinker of Persia, Sadi, writes in an account of his life, 'once I had no shoes, I had to walk barefoot in the hot sand, and how miserable I was. Then I met a man who was lame, for whom walking was very difficult. I bowed down to heaven at once and offered thanks that I was much better off than he who had not even feet to walk upon.' This shows that it is not a man's situation in life, but his attitude towards life that makes him happy or unhappy. This attitude can even make such a difference between men that one living in a palace could be unhappy and another living in a humble cottage could be very happy. The difference is only in the horizon that one sees: one person looks only at the condition of life, another looks at the lives of many people; it is a difference of horizon.

My Precious ..........

My precious love, I AM right here, you are a gift given unto me
You know who I am and all I want to be
I see you in my heart, your soul is in my eyes
You are the one I feel, I hear you when you sigh

When thinking of our love

A feeling oh so grand
So light you do become
Like an angel in my hand

You are my gift of love

You are the air I breathe
At night you are the moon I see
As you shine for me

When the stars are out

Can you see where I am
The brightest star tonight
As the world turns, you reach out and touch me

I promise you

until us, to be with you each night
watching it slip into each new day
the sun brings the promise
of my devotion is in every way

You’re the thought that starts each morning,

The conclusion to each day.
You are in all that I do,
And everything I say.
A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
wrap me in your cocoon
and hold me fiercely to your womb

If I could have just one wish,

I would wish to wake up everyday
to the warmth of your lips
to the sound of your breath into the motion of hips

Your love is... an ocean,

Where sand meets the sea,
Until that day, waiting, for your Waves of love to roll over me, spiritually



(by : someone )

A Heart Full Of Love ..........








~ A Heart Full Of Love ~


* Anyone who is willing to listen can hear what is being said, even if no words are being spoken.

* Just how high can the human heart rise, in a world so full of uncaring eyes. Where animals suffer and children die and people fight wars without even knowing why. Where alcohol and drugs cause wasted lives, and shelters are full of unwed mothers and battered wives.

But should the day come that man learns to care,and wants to no longer just take, but also to share. And he learns that everything has the right to live, and life is not something he can take, but can not give. When he learns to approach life with a heart full of love, for everything on earth and in the heavens above. When he learns to do these things he will have opened the door, to knowing just how high, the human heart can soar.

* I've been touched by the morning sun that chases the night away, and I've been touched by the gentle words that love-struck poets say. And I've been touched by the morning mist everyone calls the dew, but it all seems more beautiful now that I've been touched by you.

* The pain we feel when someone leaves our life is in direct proportion to the joy they bring while a part of our life.

* In every relationship there is a chance of getting hurt, but once we've known the joy of holding another close, we realize thats a chance we just have to take.

* We should do everything within reason to save a good relationship. But if we are constantly trying to save it, it's probably not a good relationship.

* When you truly know the meaning of the word love, you will also know the meaning of the word pain.

* I've often wondered and racked my brain, but I guess I'll never know, why one person looks and sees the rain, while another is seeing a rainbow.

* In our language we have two words; solitude and loneliness. Solitude is being alone, without thinking about being alone.
While loneliness is being alone, and being aware that your alone.

Learned ...............


~ Learned ~



It is not what we read,
but what we remember,
that makes us learned


It is not what we intend,
but what we do that makes us useful.


It is not a few faint wishes,
but a life long struggle,
that makes us valiant.

For Those You Love ........................

~ For Those You Love ~


Smile each day for those you love.
Let them know by the brightness of your face
that you are happy they are in your life.
Even if there are times you argue and disagree.

Touch each day those you love.
Hold them close,

The human touch is
one of the most comforting things in our world,
and one of the most reassuring.

Speak softly each day to those you love.
Those whispers of intimacy
that tell them that what you say is important
But meant for their ears and their ears only.

Muse quietly each day of those you love.
Allow yourself to find those things
that you truly admire and respect in that person.

Forgetting, at least for the moment,
any of the negative.

Allow yourself to be vulnerable to those you love.
It is a most frightening experience to be without shields,
But it can also be the most wonderful flight in the world
To find another holds your spirit
carefully within their heart.

Believe that you deserve those you love.
Your love is the most precious gift
that you can bestow on another human.

You deserve to be loved in return.
without constraints.
without reserve.

Be honest with those you love.
Let them know how important they are in your life.
Take care that they never have to guess
at what you think and feel.

There may come a time
when they walk away.
and then would you regret not telling them?
in all possible ways?

Forgiveness ............


~ Forgiveness ~



".........Forgiveness is not an emotion, it's a decision.
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.
Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself..........." 






Forgive and forget.', which is very expressive of the process of forgiveness. It is impossible to forgive unless you can forget.
What keeps man from forgiving his fellow man is that he holds the fault of another constantly before his view.
It is just like sticking a little thorn in one's own heart and keeping it there and suffering the pain.
It may also be pictured as putting a drop of poison in one's own heart and retaining it until the whole heart becomes poisoned.
Verily, blessed are the innocent, who do not notice anybody's fault, and the greater credit is to the mature souls, who, recognizing a fault, forget it and so forgive.


Forgiveness is a stream of love which washes away all impurities wherever it flows.
By keeping this spring of love, which is in the heart of man, running, man is able to forgive,
however great the fault of his fellow man may seem.


One who cannot forgive closes his heart. The sign of spirituality is that there is nothing you cannot forgive,
there is no fault you cannot forget. Do not think that he who has committed a fault yesterday
must do the same today, for life is constantly teaching
and it is possible in one moment a sinner may turn into a saint.

Forever Love ..........


~ Forever Love ~



People call love blind, but love in reality is the light of the sight. The eye can only see the surface; love can see much deeper. All ignorance is the lack of love. As fire when not kindled gives only smoke, but when kindled, the illumination flame springs forth, so it is with love. It is blind when undeveloped, but, when its fire is kindled, the flame that lights the path of the traveler from mortality to everlasting life springs forth. The secrets of earth and heaven are revealed to the possessor of the loving heart, the lover has gained mastery over himself and others, and he not only communes with God but also unites with Him.



A heart lightened by love is more precious than all the gems and jewels of the world. ... Love is like the fire; its glow is devotion, its flame is wisdom, its smoke is attachment, and its ashes detachment. Flame rises from glow, so it is with wisdom, which rises from devotion. When love's fire produces its flame it illuminates the devotee's path in life like a torch, and all darkness vanishes.


When the life-force acts in the soul it is love, when it acts in the heart it is emotion, and when in the body it is passion. Therefore the most loving person is the most emotional, and the most emotional is the most passionate, according to the plane of which he is most conscious. If he is most awake in the soul he is loving, if awakened in the heart he is emotional, if he is conscious of the body he is passionate. These three may be pictured as fire, flame, and smoke. Love is fire when in the soul, it is a flame when the heart is kindled by it, and it is as smoke when it manifests through the body.



Love must be absolutely free from selfishness, otherwise it does not produce proper illumination. If the fire has no flame it cannot give light, and smoke comes out of it, which is troublesome. Such is selfish love. Whether it be for man or for God it is fruitless, for though it appears to be love for another or love for God, it is in fact love for the self.


If one asked: Where is the soul? Where can we see the soul manifest to view? Where is paradise? Where is heaven? Where is joy and pleasure? If one asked: Where is love? Where is God? We can answer each of these questions by saying: it is in the heart.


Imagine how wonderful and at the same time how obscure to our view! If we call the heart the spark of fire then we can see its different aspects: as sympathy in the form of heat, as longing in the form of fire, as affection in the form of glow, as devotion in the form of flame, as passion in the form of smoke that blinds the eyes. ... One may ask: How to cultivate the heart quality? There is only one way: to become selfless at each step one takes forward on this path, for what prevents one from cultivating the loving quality is the thought of self.

~ Love Comes Through the Eyes That See ~

 
 
 
Love comes through the eyes that see
And through the ears that hear,
For people are quite beautiful,
And words make feelings clear.

Love comes through the hands that touch

With unabashed affection,
For only skin-to-skin can love
Maintain its true direction.

Love comes through the tastes and smells

Of fresh and well-cooked food,
For in the gift of nourishment
Is much else that is good.

But though love comes through senses five,

Love comes from the heart,
For there resides the greater love
Of which ours is a part.

Alone .........

People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim
Not on success or on worldly fame
But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers


For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to find 


A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
That life's completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones
and friends.

Did you place all your hopes in the things of this world
To find you've never really been satisfied ?
And you've never really been at peace in your heart
Regardless of the things you have tried.

Perhaps it was money, prestige or relationships
That left you disappointed or betrayed.
Or you've never really felt like you ever fit in
No matter where it was you stayed.

If you're tired of the vain promises
And the pale answers the world offers up,
Let's pray to Allah, ask Him to save you
Then I promise He'll fill your cup.

There's nothing this world can give a person
That could ever substitute or replace
A personal relationship with God 

And knowing you're covered by grace.

Endurance ...........

Endurance is the ability to sustain over time, to call from ourselves renewed commitment and effort when we are confronted with challenges or hardship. Endurance often requires tolerating discomfort, and may call on us to reach for resources and stamina we are not certain we possess. Endurance means that we remain steadfast even through criticism, monotony, and discouraging odds.

Endurance requires planfulness and balance, not just strength of will. Health and pacing often determine our ability to sustain. This means that we need to take care of ourselves if we care about the long term.

Endurance ...........

In my world,
The water is cold,
The wind is hard,
And the road never ends.

In my world,
There are no losers.
Only competitors still on their way,
And spectators waiting to be inspired.

In my world,
Victory is not weighed in gold,
But in determination and courage.

In my world,
There are no boundaries,
No limits,
There is no end.
Every day is the last day of my life,
And the first.

In my world,
The word “can't” does not exist,
And nothing is impossible.

Barakahnya Di Waktu Pagi ...............

semangat di waktu pagiDi suatu masjid seperti biasa selepas shalat shubuh, seorang pemuda duduk di masjid sambil menunggu matahari terbit. Dia bukan hanya sekedar duduk santai ketika itu, tetapi dia membuka beberapa lembaran Al Qur’an yang telah dihafalnya dan dia mengulang-ulang untuk menguatkan dalam hatinya. Setelah itu, dia tidak lupa berdzikir dengan bacaan dzikir yang telah dituntunkan oleh Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam ketika pagi. Namun, ada suatu kondisi yang berkebalikan. Di belakang dia terdapat seorang pemuda juga yang sebaya dengannya. Ketika sehabis shalat shubuh dan membaca dzikir setelah shalat, pemuda yang kedua ini malah mengambil tempat di belakang. Sambil bersandar di dinding dan akhirnya perlahan-lahan kepalanya tertunduk kemudian tertidur pulas hingga matahari terbit.


Inilah sebagian kondisi kaum muslimin saat ini. Sehabis shalat shubuh di masjid, sebagian di antara kita ada yang memanfaatkan waktu pagi karena dia mengetahui keutamaan di dalamnya. Ada pula yang tertidur pulas karena telah dipengaruhi rayuan setan dan tidak mampu mengalahkannya.
Perlu kita ketahui bersama bahwa waktu pagi adalah waktu yang sangat utama dan penuh berkah.
Tulisan berikut akan sedikit mengupas mengenai keutamaan waktu pagi dan bagaimana memanfaatkannya. Semoga Allah selalu memberi kita taufik untuk mengamalkan setiap ilmu yang telah kita peroleh.

SAUDARAKU, KETAHUILAH KEUTAMAAN WAKTU PAGI


[Pertama] Waktu Pagi adalah Waktu yang Penuh Berkah
Waktu yang berkah adalah waktu yang penuh kebaikan. Waktu pagi telah dido’akan khusus oleh Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam sebagai waktu yang berkah.
Dari sahabat Shokhr Al Ghomidiy, Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda,
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لأُمَّتِى فِى بُكُورِهَا
Ya Allah, berkahilah umatku di waktu paginya.”

Apabila Nabi shallallahu mengirim peleton pasukan, beliau shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mengirimnya pada pagi hari. Sahabat Shokhr sendiri (yang meriwayatkan hadits ini, pen) adalah seorang pedagang. Dia biasa membawa barang dagangannya ketika pagi hari. Karena hal itu dia menjadi kaya dan banyak harta. Abu Daud mengatakan bahwa dia adalah Shokhr bin Wada’ah. (HR. Abu Daud no. 2606. Hadits ini dishohihkan oleh Syaikh Al Albani dalam Shohih wa Dho’if Sunan Abi Daud)

Ibnu Baththol mengatakan, “Hadits ini tidak menunjukkan bahwa selain waktu pagi adalah waktu yang tidak diberkahi. Sesuatu yang dilakukan Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam (pada waktu tertentu) adalah waktu yang berkah dan beliau shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam adalah sebaik-baik uswah (suri teladan) bagi umatnya. Adapun Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mengkhususkan waktu pagi dengan mendo’akan keberkahan pada waktu tersebut daripada waktu-waktu yang lainnya karena pada waktu pagi tersebut adalah waktu yang biasa digunakan manusia untuk memulai amal (aktivitas). Waktu tersebut adalah waktu bersemangat (fit) untuk beraktivitas. Oleh karena itu, Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mengkhususkan do’a pada waktu tersebut agar seluruh umatnya mendapatkan berkah di dalamnya.” (Syarhul Bukhari Libni Baththol, 9/163, Maktabah Syamilah)


[Kedua] Waktu Pagi adalah Waktu Semangat Untuk Beramal
Dalam Shohih Bukhari terdapat suatu riwayat dari sahabat Abu Hurairah dari Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Beliau shallallahu’alaihi wa sallam bersabda,

إِنَّ الدِّينَ يُسْرٌ ، وَلَنْ يُشَادَّ الدِّينَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ غَلَبَهُ ، فَسَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا ، وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالْغَدْوَةِ وَالرَّوْحَةِ وَشَىْءٍ مِنَ الدُّلْجَةِ
Sesungguhnya agama itu mudah. Tidak ada seorangpun yang membebani dirinya di luar kemampuannya kecuali dia akan dikalahkan. Hendaklah kalian melakukan amal dengan sempurna (tanpa berlebihan dan menganggap remeh). Jika tidak mampu berbuat yang sempurna (ideal) maka lakukanlah yang mendekatinya. Perhatikanlah ada pahala di balik amal yang selalu kontinu. Lakukanlah ibadah (secara kontinu) di waktu pagi dan waktu setelah matahari tergelincir serta beberapa waktu di akhir malam. (HR. Bukhari no. 39. Lihat penjelasan hadits ini di Fathul Bari)


Yang dimaksud ‘al ghodwah’ dalam hadits ini adalah perjalanan di awal siang. Al Jauhari mengatakan bahwa yang dimaksud ‘al ghodwah’ adalah waktu antara shalat fajar hingga terbitnya matahari. (Lihat Fathul Bari 1/62, Maktabah Syamilah)

Inilah tiga waktu yang dikatakan oleh Ibnu Hajar dalam Fathul Bari sebagai waktu semangat (fit) untuk beramal.
Syaikh Abdurrahmanbin bin Nashir As Sa’di mengatakan bahwa inilah tiga waktu utama untuk melakukan safar (perjalanan) yaitu perjalanan fisik baik jauh ataupun dekat. Juga untuk melakukan perjalanan ukhrowi (untuk melakukan amalan akhirat). (Lihat Bahjah Qulubil Abror, hal. 67, Maktbah ‘Abdul Mushowir Muhammad Abdullah)

BAGAIMANA KEBIASAAN ORANG SHOLIH DI PAGI HARI?


[1] Kebiasaan Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam
An Nawawi dalam Shohih Muslim membawakan bab dengan judul ‘Keutamaan tidak beranjak dari tempat shalat setelah shalat shubuh dan keutamaan masjid’. Dalam bab tersebut terdapat suatu riwayat dari seorang tabi’in –Simak bin Harb-. Beliau rahimahullah mengatakan bahwa dia bertanya kepada Jabir bin Samuroh,

أَكُنْتَ تُجَالِسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-
Apakah engkau sering menemani Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam duduk?”

Jabir menjawab,
نَعَمْ كَثِيرًا كَانَ لاَ يَقُومُ مِنْ مُصَلاَّهُ الَّذِى يُصَلِّى فِيهِ الصُّبْحَ أَوِ الْغَدَاةَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَامَ وَكَانُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَيَأْخُذُونَ فِى أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَيَضْحَكُونَ وَيَتَبَسَّمُ.
Iya. Beliau shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam biasanya tidak beranjak dari tempat duduknya setelah shalat shubuh hingga terbit matahari. Apabila matahari terbit, beliau shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam berdiri (meninggalkan tempat shalat). Dulu para sahabat biasa berbincang-bincang (guyon) mengenai perkara jahiliyah, lalu mereka tertawa. Sedangkan beliau shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam hanya tersenyum saja.” (HR. Muslim no. 670)

An Nawawi mengatakan, “Dalam hadits ini terdapat anjuran berdzikir setelah shubuh dan mengontinukan duduk di tempat shalat jika tidak memiliki udzur (halangan).
Al Qadhi mengatakan bahwa inilah sunnah yang biasa dilakukan oleh salaf dan para ulama. Mereka biasa memanfaatkan waktu tersebut untuk berdzikir dan berdo’a hingga terbit matahari.” (Syarh An Nawawi ‘ala Muslim, 8/29, Maktabah Syamilah)


[2] Kebiasaan Ibnu Mas’ud radhiyallahu ‘anhu
Dari Abu Wa’il, dia berkata, “Pada suatu pagi kami mendatangi Abdullah bin Mas’ud  selepas kami melaksanakan shalat shubuh. Kemudian kami mengucapkan salam di depan pintu. Lalu kami diizinkan untuk masuk. Akan tetapi kami berhenti sejenak di depan pintu. Lalu keluarlah budaknya sembari berkata,  “Mari silakan masuk.” Kemudian kami masuk sedangkan Ibnu Mas’ud sedang duduk sambil berdzikir.
Ibnu Mas’ud lantas berkata,  “Apa yang menghalangi kalian padahal aku telah mengizinkan kalian untuk masuk?”

Lalu kami menjawab, “Tidak, kami mengira bahwa sebagian anggota keluargamu sedang tidur.”
Ibnu Mas’ud lantas bekata,  “Apakah kalian mengira bahwa keluargaku telah lalai?”
Kemudian Ibnu Mas’ud kembali berdzikir hingga dia mengira bahwa matahari telah terbit. Lantas beliau memanggil budaknya,  “Wahai budakku, lihatlah apakah matahari telah terbit.” Si budak tadi kemudian melihat  ke luar. Jika matahari belum terbit, beliau kembali melanjutkan dzikirnya. Hingga beliau mengira lagi bahwa matahari telah terbit, beliau kembali memanggil budaknya sembari berkata,  “Lihatlah apakah matahari telah terbit.” Kemudian budak tadi melihat ke luar. Jika matahari telah terbit, beliau mengatakan,

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى أَقَالَنَا يَوْمَنَا هَذَا
“Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah menolong kami berdzikir pada pagi hari ini.” (HR. Muslim no. 822)



[3] Keadaan Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah di Pagi Hari
Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah adalah orang yang gemar beribadah dan bukanlah orang yang kelihatan bengis sebagaimana anggapan sebagian orang. Kita dapat melihat aktivitas beliau di pagi hari sebagaimana dikisahkan oleh muridnya –Ibnu Qayyim Al Jauziyah.-


Ketika menjelaskan faedah dzikir bahwa dzikir dapat menguatkan hati dan ruh, Ibnul Qayim mengatakan, “Syaikhul Islam Ibnu Taimiyah suatu saat shalat shubuh. Kemudian (setelah shalat shubuh) beliau duduk sambil berdzikir kepada Allah Ta’ala hingga pertengahan siang. Kemudian berpaling padaku dan berkata, ‘Ini adalah kebiasaanku di pagi hari. Jika aku tidak berdzikir seperti ini, hilanglah kekuatanku’ –atau perkataan beliau yang semisal ini-.” (Al Wabilush Shoyib min Kalamith Thoyib, hal.63, Maktabah Syamilah

Bahaya Tidur Pagi ...............

Waktu PagiKita telah ketahui bersama bahwa waktu pagi adalah waktu yang penuh berkah dan di antara waktu yang kita diperintahkan untuk memanfaatkannya. Akan tetapi, pada kenyataannya kita banyak melihat orang-orang melalaikan waktu yang mulia ini. Waktu yang seharusnya dipergunakan untuk bekerja, melakukan ketaatan dan beribadah, ternyata dipergunakaan untuk tidur dan bermalas-malasan. 



Saudaraku, ingatlah bahwa orang-orang sholih terdahulu sangat membenci tidur pagi. Kita dapat melihat ini dari penuturan Ibnul Qayyim ketika menjelaskan masalah banyak tidur yaitu bahwa banyak tidur dapat mematikan hati dan membuat badan merasa malas serta membuang-buang waktu. Beliau rahimahullah mengatakan,

“Banyak tidur dapat mengakibatkan lalai dan malas-malasan. Banyak tidur ada yang termasuk dilarang dan ada pula yang dapat menimbulkan bahaya bagi badan."


Waktu tidur yang paling bermanfaat yaitu :

[1] tidur ketika sangat butuh,
[2] tidur di awal malam –ini lebih manfaat daripada tidur di akhir malam-,
[3] tidur di pertengahan siang –ini lebih bermanfaat daripada tidur di waktu pagi dan sore-. Apalagi di waktu pagi dan sore sangat sedikit sekali manfaatnya bahkan lebih banyak bahaya yang ditimbulkan, lebih-lebih lagi tidur di waktu ‘Ashar dan awal pagi kecuali jika memang tidak tidur semalaman.
Menurut para salaf, tidur yang terlarang adalah tidur ketika selesai shalat shubuh hingga matahari terbit. Karena pada waktu tersebut adalah waktu untuk menuai ghonimah (pahala yang berlimpah). Mengisi waktu tersebut adalah keutamaan yang sangat besar, menurut orang-orang sholih. Sehingga apabila mereka melakukan perjalanan semalam suntuk, mereka tidak mau tidur di waktu tersebut hingga terbit matahari. Mereka melakukan demikian karena waktu pagi adalah waktu terbukanya pintu rizki dan datangnya barokah (banyak kebaikan).” (Madarijus Salikin, 1/459, Maktabah Syamilah)


BAHAYA TIDUR PAGI [1]

[Pertama] Tidak sesuai dengan petunjuk Al Qur'an dan As Sunnah.
[Kedua] Bukan termasuk akhlak dan kebiasaan para salafush sholih (generasi terbaik umat ini), bahkan merupakan perbuatan yang dibenci.
[Ketiga] Tidak mendapatkan barokah di dalam waktu dan amalannya.
[Keempat] Menyebabkan malas dan tidak bersemangat di sisa harinya.


Maksud dari hal ini dapat dilihat dari perkataan Ibnul Qayyim. Beliau rahimahullah berkata, "Pagi hari bagi seseorang itu seperti waktu muda dan akhir harinya seperti waktu tuanya." (Miftah Daris Sa'adah, 2/216). Amalan seseorang di waktu muda berpengaruh terhadap amalannya di waktu tua. Jadi jika seseorang di awal pagi sudah malas-malasan dengan sering tidur, maka di sore harinya dia juga akan malas-malasan pula.

[Kelima] Menghambat datangnya rizki.

Ibnul Qayyim berkata, "Empat hal yang menghambat datangnya rizki adalah
[1] tidur di waktu pagi, 
[2] sedikit sholat, 
[3] malas-malasan dan 
[4] berkhianat." (Zaadul Ma’ad, 4/378)

[Keenam] Menyebabkan berbagai penyakit badan, di antaranya adalah melemahkan syahwat.
(Zaadul Ma’ad, 4/222)
