Complaining

Salam alaikum readers..

Astaghfirullah, dimulakan dengan ucapan itu kerana penulis merasa menyesal kerana terlalu 'goyah' dan 'lemah'. Ketika mana beru diuji dengan sedikit ujian, diri ini terlalu mudah untuk mengeluh.

Baru demam, belum lagi sakit-sakit yang lebih teruk, dan belum lagi diberikan ujian yang lebih berat, tapi dah mula mengadu tidak larat. Mudah mencari alasan.Tidak salah untuk mengeluh tapi pastikan pada tempat dan kadar yang betul.

Kes yang sama bilamana merasa kekurangan wang atau kehilangan barang berharga, mudah sangat mencari manusia untuk meng'complain' masalah. Lemahnya iman.

Jadi, suka untuk penulis kongsikan pesan daripada seorang sahabat pena.

Complaining Only to Allah

Man needs to obtain his provision and other needs, and to protect himself from harm. In both cases he should call on Allah. He should not ask for provision from anyone other than Allah, and he should not complain to anyone other than Allah. As Ya'qub a.s said, " I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allah..." (yusuf 12:86)

When Ahmad ibn Hanbal was sick, he was told that Tawus used to hate the sound of a sick person groaning, and would say, "This is a complaint", so Ahmad never groaned until the day he died.

Complaining to the Creator, on the other hand, does not contradict the idea of goodly patience. For Ya'qub as said " Patience is most fitting (for me)" (yusuf 12:83), but he also said, "I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allah.." (yusuf 12:86)

'Umar ibn al-Khattab used to recite Surah Yunus, Yusuf and an-Nahl during Fajr Prayer. When he reached this ayah, he wept so much that his sobs could be heard in the last rows of the congregation.

Musa a.s. used to pray, "O Allah, to You be all praise and to You (Alone) do i complain. You are the One Whom I ask for help, in You I seek refuge and upon You I rely. There is no strength or power except in You."

One of the dua's's which the Prophet saw said when the people of Taif did what they did to him was, "O Allah, to You I complain of my weakness and helplessness, and of the people's caring nothing for me...." (hingga akhir doa. gi google sendiri).

Maka, kesimpulannya, marilah kita bersama-sama berusaha dan berdoa agar diri kita tidak letih dan tidak jemu mengadu padaNya. Dan agar diri kita menjadi hamba Allah yang sebenar.

Sekian dulu entri kali ini.
