Doing Good Deeds

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

 In the name of Allah, the most Gracious the most Merciful 

 The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “A believer never gets satisfied doing good until he reaches Jannah.”      

[Tirmidhi]

 According to this hadith, it is a quality of a Muslim that he or she is very concerned about acquiring virtues and doing good, and never tires of struggling for and living by virtuous deeds. This is because “a believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them away like this.

 Abu Shihab (the sub-narrator of this statement of Abdullah ibn Masud’s) moved his hand over his nose in illustration.” [Sahih Bukhari]

High achieving students never stop studying because they never feel satisfied that what they know is sufficient. They don’t limit themselves to the bare minimum amount of knowledge needed to pass. One who does so is in danger of failing. Even when they are well prepared they feel that they could know more, or that they might make a mistake which they would have to compensate for with something else. Another reason that high achieving students keep on studying is because of their love for learning.

Do Not Reciprocate

Pemimpin jangan mementingkan diri sendiri

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious the most Merciful

Huraian:

1. Setiap tanggungjawab yang telah ditugaskan kepada seseorang hendaklah dilaksanakan sebaik-baiknya.

2. Apabila terdapat dikalangan pemimpin yang menyeleweng daripada garis kebenaran, sebagai rakyat mreka hendaklah berusaha menegur supaya pemimpin tersebut kembali ke pangkal jalan disamping memohon doa kepada Allah S.W.T.

3. Adalah tidak wajar bagi rakyat atau orang bawahan terus menunjukkan sikap penentangan tanpa mengemukakan sebarang pandangan, teguran dan fikiran yang berfaedah terlebih dahulu.

4. Semua pihak hendaklah sentiasa berusaha supaya jurang pemisah antara pemerintah dan rakyat sentiasa harmoni, tidak berlaku sebarang keretakan dan kekurangan.

"Dan tiadalah kehidupan dunia ini melainkan senda gurau dan main-main. Dan sesungguhnya akhirat itulah yang sebenarnya kehidupan, kalau mereka mengetahui."

   (Al-Ankabut: 64)

"Apakah kamu mengira bahawa kamu akan masuk syurga, padahal belum datang kepadamu (cubaan) sebagaimana halnya orang-orang yang terdahulu sebelum kamu?" 

 (Al-Baqarah: 214)

Avoiding Argumentation

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious the most Merciful

Arguing with people is strongly discouraged in Islam. We are to state our point of view and then leave it at that.If our view is accepted we should say astaghfirullah for it might have lack in something and brings harm to others.Saying alhamdullilah when our view is rejected allows us to accept others opinion and this indirectly avoids us from making any mistakes nor holding the responsibility from our view. Nor are we to involve ourselves in matters that do not affect a person’s deen. Note that a person is to shun argument whether he is in the right or whether his stand is wrong. Both get houses built for them in Paradise. But since the person who knows that he is right finds it more difficult to leave the argument and let things be, he/she is promised a greater reward.

Arguing with people rarely gets anyone to change their minds. It usually only produces defensiveness and creates ill feelings between people. The issue becomes a matter of one’s ego and makes it more difficult for a person to change their stance. Allah loves  Muslims who live harmoniously with each other.In fact it is strongly encouraged to make peace with the non-Muslim in order to show the beauty of Islam itself. 


Try this hadith out in practice, and you will see that your relations improve with people and that you have greater peace of mind.May the blessing of Allah be with all of us.




Peace be upon you!


Notes:


1. astaghfirullah : I ask Allah's forgiveness
2. alhamdulillah : Praise be to Allah
