A Voice in the Heart

A young man had been to Wednesday Night Class of Quranic Studies. The Mualim had shared about listening to Allah and obeying Allah through intuition. The young man couldn’t help but wonder, "Does Allah still speak to people through intuition?"

After Lessons, he went out with some friends for coffee and they discussed the message. Several friends talked about how Allah had led them in different ways and that at the end you’ll know it was Allah (SWT) Who has directed you.

It was about ten o’clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray,

"Allah…If you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey."

As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, "Allah is that you?"

He didn’t get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk came into his head. "Okay, Allah, in case that is you, I will buy the milk."

It didn’t seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home. As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, "Turn Down that street."

This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street. At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud, "Okay, Allah, I will."

He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi-commercial area of town. It wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed. Again, he sensed something, "Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street."

The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat. "Allah, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid."

Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk. Finally, he opened the door,

"Okay Allah (SWT), if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don’t answer right away, I am out of here."

He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man’s voice yelled out,  "Who is it? What do you want?"

Then the door opened before the young man could get away.The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn’t seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep.

"What is it?"

The young man thrust out the gallon of milk,

"Here, I brought this to you."

The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying.

The man had tears streaming down his face. The man began speaking and half crying,

"We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn’t have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking Allah (SWT) to show me how to get some milk." His wife in the kitchen yelled out, "I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?"

The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man’s hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face. He knew that Allah (SWT) still answers prayers.

Always listen to the voice inside you, it is the VOICE OF ALLAH, always there guiding us. But do we listen to it?

I WANNA MARRY HER, DAD.

A boy said to his father:

"I saw a girl and I want to marry her. She is so beautiful and she has gorgeous eyes. The father answered his son: of course son, let’s ask for her hand in marriage."

When the father saw the girl, he admired her beauty and he told his son: "You don’t deserve this girl, she needs someone who has experience in life and she can depend on, someone like... me."

The boy was surprised by the attitude of his father and he told him :
"She will marry me, not you”. They started to fight and finally they decided both to go to the police station to solve their problem.

When they tell their story to the police officer, he told them: ”bring the girl so we can ask her about her opinion about this. "When the officer saw the beauty of the girl he said to the boy and his father: ”You both don’t deserve her, she needs someone who has prestige like me.”

The 3 men started a fight and decided to go to the minister to solve their problem. When the minister saw the girl, he said: "She deserves to be married with a minister like me”. The prince heard about their problem and call them all to help them solve it but and when he saw the girl he said : "This girl will marry me” .

All the 5 men started to fight. Finally, the girl said “I have the solution! I will start to run and whoever catches me first, he will be my husband”. When she started to run, the boy, his father, the police officer, the minister and the prince started to run to catch her. Suddenly the 5 men fell into a deep hole.

The girl looked to them from the top and she said
“did you know who am I?”

I am "the Dunya" THE LIFE!!

People want to run to catch me, they are racing to have me.
By doing that, they forget their religion,
Until they end up in their grave and won’t have me.

A Pair of Old Shoes

A Young man, a student in one of the universities, was one day taking a walk with a Professor, who was commonly called the student's friend, from his kindness to those who waited on his instructions. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by,and who had nearly finished his day's work.The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them."

"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how this affects him."

The student did so and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but feeling something hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the coin.

Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed upon the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.

His feelings overcame him, he fell upon his knees, looked up to the heavens and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife who was sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom this timely bounty, from some unknown hand, would save from perishing. The student stood there deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears."Now," said the professor, are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?" The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before:

 ✔"It's more blessed to give than to receive."

Ruqyah Sang Suami

Senyum sejenak membaca tweet seseorang :

“Istrinya sakit parah, lalu iapun berkata kepada suaminya : “Ruqyahlah aku!”
Sang suamipun meruqyah istrinya dan membuka bacaan Qur’annya dengan ayat :

فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَى وَثُلاثَ وَرُبَاعَ

Maka kawinilah wanita-wanita (lain) yang kamu senangi : dua, tiga atau empat. (QS An-Nisaa : 3)

Maka sang istripun berdiri seakan-akan tidak pernah sakit sama sekali”

Kisah Pemuda Maroko & Wanita Amerika

Sebuah kisah dari seorang pemuda, salah satu dari pemuda kita di Amerika, pemuda ini berasal dari Maroko, dia adalah pemuda Maroko yang sangat miskin. Dalam sebuah kunjungan, saya menanyakan tentangnya.  Pemuda ini berusia sekitar 24 atau 25 tahun. Mereka menjawab: MasyaAllah, dia sekarang dalam kondisi baik, maka saya bertanya apa yang terjadi, mereka menjawab: dia kini menjadi seorang jutawan. Saya pun bertanya: jutawan? Apakah dia berjudi atau melakukan sesuatu?. Mereka menjawab: “Tidak, dia tidak melakukakannya”. Lalu apa yang telah terjadi?

SubhanAllah, suatu hari dia berada dalam sebuah lift di salah satu gedung  bertingkat, dan dengan kehendak Allah dalam elevator tersebut ada banyak orang didalamnya. Lalu semua orang keluar satu persatu hingga tinggallah hanya si pemuda tadi dengan seorang wanita Amerika yang sangat cantik, kemudian lift itupun bergerak ke atas hingga beberapa lantai. Pemuda tersebut tetap menatap lantai lift. Disana hanya ada si pemuda dan si wanita tersebut, tapi dia tidak menatapnya sekalipun. Wanita itu cantik, yang itu merupakan fitnah yang kuat, dan dia tidak pernah menatap wanita itu.

Ketika mereka benar-benar berdua saat itu wanita tersebut merasa takut, karena khawatir mungkin saja akan diperkosa, tapi pemuda tersebut tidak menatapnya sama sekali. Wanita itu kemudian penasaran terus melihat gerak-gerik dan bagaimana dia tidak menatapnya. Dia merasa bingung dan heran. Wanita itu tapi tetap merasa sangat takut, maka sampailah mereka dilantai dimana pemuda tersebut keluar, maka dia pun keluar dari lift. Wanita tersebut mengikutinya dan memberhentikan si pemuda, untungnya pemuda tersebut di karuniai bahasa inggris yang lancar.

Wanita tersebut bertanya kepada si pemuda: “Apakah aku tidak cantik?”

Dia menjawab: “Saya tidak tahu! Saya tidak melihat kearahmu”

Wanita tersebut berkata: “Mengapa? Mengapa kau tidak menatapku? Apa aku tidak cantik?”

Pemuda itu menjawab: “Agamaku melarangku dari hal itu”

Wanita itu kemudian bertanya lagi kepada si Pemuda: “Mengapa kau tidak mencoba mencium atau memperkosaku? ”

Pemuda itu menjawab: “Tidak, saya berusaha untuk berlindung kepada Allah, saya takut pada Allah”

Wanita itu kemudian bertanya: “Dimana Allah? Dimana Allah yang begitu kau takuti itu?”

Kemudian pemuda itu mulai menjelaskan beberapa kalimat tentang islam dan tauhid. Wanita itu berkata: “Agamamu kah yang melarangmu dari menatapku, tidak membiarkanmu melakukan tindakan-tindakan yang membahayakan?”

Pemuda tersebut menjawab “Ya” kemudian dia kemudian menjelaskan kepadanya. Wanita itu kemudian berkata: “Maukah kau menikah denganku?”

Dia berkata: “Saya seorang muslim, apa agamamu?”

Wanita itu berkata: “Saya bukan seorang muslim”

Dia berkata: “Hal ini tidak diperbolehkan”

Wanita itu berkata: “Jika aku masuk kedalam agamamu, maukah kau menikah denganku?”

Dia berkata: “Ya”

Sang wanita bertanya apa yang harus dilakukan untuk menjadi seorang muslim. Kemudian pemuda itu menyuruhnya melakukan ini dan itu untuk masuk islam sembari memberi saran.

Maka Allah menjadikan laki-laki tersebut sebagai sebab wanita itu masuk islam, hanya dengan menundukkan pandangan. Ketahuilah dia hanya menundukkan pandangannya. Akankah para pemuda kita berpikiran seperti itu? Suatu hal yang sangat jarang terjadi. Salah satu ajaran yang sangat berharga, dan hal ini mungkin sulit terjadi pada kita.

Sang wanita pun akhirnya menikahi pemuda tersebut dan memberikan semua kekayaannya, dan pemuda itupun mendapat keberuntungan yang besar sebagaimana saudara-saudara kita telah menceritakannya padaku,  pemuda ini dengan karunia Allah mempunyai seorang istri yang cantik. Maka hal ini menjadi  lebih baik daripada unta merah (harta yang berharga) dengan sebab masuknya wanita itu ke dalam Islam, dan wanita itu juga mempunya semua kekayaan ini. Maka benarlah apa yang Allah katakan seperti yang Dia firmankan dalam Al-Qur’an: QS at-talaq ayat 3:

وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا

Dan memberinya rezki dari arah yang tiada disangka-sangkanya. Dan barangsiapa yang bertawakkal kepada Allah niscaya Allah akan mencukupkan (keperluan)nya. Sesungguhnya Allah melaksanakan urusan yang (dikehendaki)Nya. Sesungguhnya Allah telah mengadakan ketentuan bagi tiap-tiap sesuatu.

Saya bersumpah demi ALLAH, saya bersumpah demi Allah, barangsiapa yang takut pada Allah, Allah akan memnyediakan baginya apa-apa yang tidak pernah dia bayangkan sebelumnya. Dia menundukkan pandangan dari apa yang Allah telah melarangnya.
