Good advice by the great scholar, Ibn Al-Qayyim Al Jauzia:

“A friend will not (literally) share your struggles, an a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, and a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf…so look after yourself, protect it, nurture it…and don’t give life’s events more than what they are really worth…Be certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, and when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination…
your ability to stand up again and carry on is your responsibility…Do not look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious…
if your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high…
and if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won’t harm you. Do not carry the worries of this life… because this is for Allah…and do not carry the worries of sustenance because it is from Allah…and do not carry the anxiety for the future because it is in the Hands of Allah.. Carry one thing: How to Please Allah. 
Because if you please Him, He Pleases you, fulfils you and enriches you. Do not weep from a life that made your heart weep…just say “oh Allah…compensate me with good in this life and the hereafter”. Sadness departs with a sajdah…happiness comes with a sincere du’a…Allah Does Not forget the good you do…nor Does He Forget the good you did to others and the pain you relieved them from…Nor Will He Forget the eye which was about to cry but you made it laugh.. Live your life with this principle: Be good even if you don’t receive good…not because of other’s sake but because Allah Loves the good doers”. Subhanallah!

A Conversation After Death

Oh my Lord He said  : you are wrong I replied again : by the sincerity of my service to You? my Lord! He said : you are wrong I replied again : by my pilgrimage to Mecca and my fasting and my prayer? my Lord! He said : you are wrong I replied again : by my migration to the teachers for seeking knowledge or to the pious men? my Lord! He said : You are wrong I replied again : So , by what You have forgiven me? Oh Allah He answered : Did you remember when you walked in a path inside Baghdad , you found a baby cat which had been suffering from the cold and had move...

mendekatlah kepadanya 7 : kasihan lalat

  Nashaihul Ibad adalah karya Syekh Nawawi al Bantani dimana kitab ini begitu populer di Indonesia banyak dipelajari di pondok pondok pesantren  dan madrasah.  Saya juga mendengar pengajian pengajian di bulan Ramadhan di berbagai masjid juga menggunakan menggunakan kitab ini sebagai referensi kitab yang ditelaah . Syekh Nawawi dalam kitab ini menukil kisah Hujjatul Islam Imam Al Ghazali adalah seorang tokok besar Islam ketika berinteraksi dengan seekor lalat waktu menulis kitabnya . Namun bukan dalam rangka mengisahkan salah satu kitab karangan beliau yang cukup terkenal di dunia Islam yakni kitab kitab Ihyaulumiddin. Ustad Abdusshamad, seorang da’i ternama dari Sumatra mengomentari tentang kitab ini yang oleh orang orang tertentu dihujatnya bahwa belum ada kitab yang begitu komprehensif dalam membahas tentang hati kecuali kitab Ihya ulumuddin karang Imam Al Ghazali. Suatu malam beliau bermimpi bahwa Allah sedang menanyainya. Allah sedang menguji imannya lewat seb...

Carilah Wasilah Kepada Nya : Istri Cerewet

  Dua orang memutuskan untuk singgah di dalam goa di suatu gunung di Yaman Hadramaut. Mereka sepakat untuk melakukan pemberhentian di goa tersebut untuk beberapa lama demi memulihkan tenaga sekaligus karna kehabisan bekal makanan. Di samping itu, goa tersebut cukup nyaman dijadikan tempat untuk berkhalwat “menyendiri” dan berkontemplasi dari hiruk pikuk duniawi. Pada suatu hari mereka berdua dikejutkan dengan hadirnya salah seorang asing yang bergabung dengan dua orang tersebut untuk mengasingkan diri.   Setelah terjadi percakapan, mereka berdua sepakat untuk menerima orang ketiga dalam goa tersebut dan memang goa tersebut bukan milik mereka berdua maka tak seharusnya mereka menolaknya. Kedatangan orang tersebut bertepatan dengan waktunya waktu makan malam. Tiba salah satunya komat kamit berdoa yang sejurus kemudian muncul hidangan yagn berlauk pauk sangat lezat di hadapan mereka bertiga. Kedua orang yang sudah terlebih dahulu datang mempersilahkan orang ketiga untuk berga...
