Tentang kuning
Kisah warna penuh sensasi
cerita tentang kebangkitan si marhaen
Yang terzalimi sekian lama
Dibodohkan dengan cerita-cerita palsu
Rekaan kroni sang Jaguh
Jaguh yang rajin menaburkan janji manis
Namun selalu mengecewakan
Tentang kuning
cerita ketakutan si angkuh dan zalim
Bertahun dia berada di atas
Bersenang-lenang dengan kemewahan hasil ragut
Hasil rampasan, hasil curian, hasil rompakan
Dari si marhaen yang tertipu
Menderita tanpa suara
Kadang didengar namun tak diendah
Dan akhirnya disenyapkan begitu saja
Bodoh sombong!
Andai dia tidak mahu berubah
Dia yang tidak sedar hakikat dirinya
Yang berulang kali ditipu
Bangkitlah!
Di dalam kesatuan dan kebersamaan
Beragendakan nilai anggukan universal
Keadilan dan keamanan
Xantophobia, gejala takut kepada warna kuning atau perkataan kuning

The Ummah is one body
Salam alaikum readers,
it has been ages, isn't it?. Anyway, hope we can get something from this sharing. Happy reading!
Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The similitude of believers in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.” [Muslim]
If your finger, foot, or any part of your body is hurting, you cannot sleep. Your body may develop a fever while it tries to neutralize the pathogens in an infected part. When one part of your body is trying to fight the enemy, the whole body invariably gets involved in the process. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) described the Ummah as one body!
So if a Muslim anywhere in the world, in the centre of the body or the tips, on the finger or on the toes, is hurting, you should feel the same pain. If you are only concerned about your safety and the safety of your direct family, then there’s something wrong with you. You are not really part of the body. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that the Ummah is one body: It doesn’t matter that they are split into different political states or that they belong to different Madhahibs/Fiqh, as long as the person is a Muslim they are a part of your body.
Sometimes we look at it as, “Only me and my group are Muslims.” Why? Because he doesn’t follow my Jamaa’h, he’s not following my way? As long as you cannot prove that that Muslim is a Kafir (disbeliever), he is a Muslim. As long as you don’t have evidence that such a person is a Murtad (apostate), he is a Muslim; whether he belongs to the same Madhhab or the same group or the same country or not, makes no difference.
We all talk about the importance of having unity. If having unity means having one group, abandoning all the different Jamaa’ts and getting rid of all of the different Madhahibs, then we’ll all just be copies of each other and that’s an impossible thing to have. The fact that the Ummah is diverse and has these different elements in it, is what makes us strong. If a person running a business just has expertise in one area then eventully that will limit how much business he can get. But if he has people with multiple areas of expertise then the amount of business that they can go after will increase accordingly. What we mean by unity is that even though your approach to Islamic work might be different, the Imam that you follow might be different, you are there to help your brother when your brother is in need; that is unity.
Wallahu a'lam
Thank you spending your time here.
