Ustadz Felix Shiauw

Dalam cinta wajar ada rasa sakit | tidak mempunyai cinta itu sakit

Bagiku lebih memilih meninggalkanmu | bila keberadaanku membahayakanmu

Bagiku lebih baik tangis kesedihanmu | daripada kelak tangis penyesalanmu

Pergilah karena sesak ini akan hilang oleh waktu | sebagaimana angin mengganti musim selalu

Tak perlu pada saat ini engkau memahami | suatu saat nanti aku berharap engkau mengerti

Maafkan kali ini hati tak bisa jujur | aku yakin esok engkau bersyukur

Karena bila semua belum halal | cepat atau lambat pasti ada sesal

Aku lebih rela sakit jadi pelajaran | darpadai nikmat yang menyesatkan

Just what I needed to hear . . .

Allah withholds a portion of what is desired to keep you needy,
to keep you at His door.
To keep an empty place in your heart.
That only He can fill.
The slave keeps begging for what is desired,
not knowing that His Lord is preparing for him what is greater.
And then when Allah gives, there are different types of currencies.
And they are not equal.
There are lesser currencies and greater, more valuable currencies.
Some people are paid their recompense in Dunya currency.
And this is from among the favors of Allah.
But there are others who are paid in a different currency: the currency of Divine nearness.
The one who is paid in *that* currency can never be satisfied with only the lesser currency again.

Tawwakul - Yasmin Mogahed


When a man came to Prophet Mohammed (s) and asked him if he should have trust in Allah, or tie his camel and then have trust in Allah, the Prophet (s) replied that he should tie his camel securely and put his trust in Allah.
Tawwakul is not an act of the limbs—it is an act of the heart.  And so while the limbs are striving hard, the heart is completely reliant on Allah.  This means whatever the outcome of the limbs’ striving, the heart will be completely satisfied, knowing that it is the flawless decision of Allah.
But in order to reach this level, one must hold on to hope, strive with the limbs, and let go with the heart.

Focus on The Most Merciful

When you're in pain, don't focus on the pain. Focus on the One who heals all pain. When you're stuck, don't look at the Red Sea in front of you. Look at the One who can split it in two! - Yasmin Mogahed

Quote of the day

Tawakkul is having full faith that Allah will take care of you—even when things look impossible. Tawakkul is standing in front of the Red Sea—as Prophet Musa did—with an army behind you, and not even flinching, knowing that Allah will get you through. It is having full faith that when Allah takes away the umbilical cord...He will replace it with milk - Yasmin Mogahed

What you give up for God is never lost

Toward letting go . . .

Even when letting go of people hurts, face your heart towards Allah and run. Whatever is meant for you, will come after you. Whatever is not, will stay behind - Yasmin Mogahed

Yasmin Mogahed

Those who know me, know I love trees. I can’t help it! Aside from their beauty, think how compliant they are. They stand still until commanded to move. And when they move, their branches move only to the exact degree commanded. Not an inch more. Commanded to be firm, they are firm. Commanded to bend, they bend. Commanded to change, they transform from green to orange and red. And then when commanded to let go—even of what is a part of them—they hear and they obey. They don’t hold on for a second longer. The leaf falls. To the world, it looks like death. But what was given away, returns. Even more beautiful. What was dead, lives again! - Yasmin Mogahed

Michael Jordan

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."  - Michael Jordan

The sunnah is to be optimistic and opportunistic!


If Allah has put you in a difficult situation in this world, its a chance to earn ease in the hereafter through patience.

If falsehood and corruption are on the rise, its a chance to do more Dawah and spread the truth.

If you're being ridiculed for your faith by the creation, its a chance to earn the praise of the Creator.

Everything from Allah is good because even the "bad" in this world is in essence just a means of attaining good in the hereafter for the believer.

The sunnah is to be optimistic and opportunistic!

There's a story behind every person


Somebody posted this picture on facebook, and I copied and paste it here. I thought why not share it.
I think it's very true. Each one of us has gone thorough a different life journey and the journey has shaped the way we think and behave. Those experiences have also affected our personality. It is also very important to understand where people are coming from and why they are acting they way they do. Therefore, let's think about that before we judge someone ;)

We are not in control of our own hearts; He is

The fact that our heart cannot let go of things--despites the countless arguments our mind makes, despite the utter foolishness of the attachment, despite the impossible nature of the heart's wish--is a humbling reminder that we are not in control of our own hearts; He is - Yasmin Mogahed

Freedom from the desire - Yasmin Mogahed

When you're hungry, there are 2 things you can ask God for: You can either ask God for food--in which case you remain forever a slave to food. Or you can ask God to extinguish the hunger. In which case you become free. Dont despair when God doesnt give you what you desire. Perhaps He is giving you something greater: freedom from the desire - Yasmin Mogahed

Forgiveness - Yasmin Mogahed

Sometimes the reason we can't forgive is that we don't see our own flaws. We spend our lives holding onto the wrongs others have done to us; but we don't see all the wrongs we have also done to others. No one is perfect. And we are all in desperate need of forgiveness--from God and from the people.  Forgive...so that you too may be forgiven.

Iman, Cinta dan Logika - Ust. Yusuf Mansur

( HIKMAH ) IMAN, CINTA DAN LOGIKA - Mata biasa kebatas, bila ngeliat matahari kesilauan, bila melihat bakteri kekecilan, mata ini kebatas jarak dan ukuran. Terus pegimana mata ini mampu melihat Allah SWT ?. Gak level antara Robb dan mahluknya, kecuali bisa dirasain dgn mata hati. Inilah bicara iman, yang gak selalu pake logika tetapi pake keyakinan dan fitrah. Fitrah ingin taat dan mengabdi ada tuh jalannya. Manusia yang melawan Allah bakalan gelap lahir dan bathin karena melawan fitrah. Ada jamaah ngadu yang nyampe ke sedekah redho, ketika ikhlas datang malahan berlimpah, ada lagi yg ketika dia merasakan nikmatnya tahajud malah dikerjain saban hari demi kebutuhan jiwanya ngegantungin hati ke Allah SWT, jadilah ia dapet bonus diluar dugaan.

Ketika harapan diikuti ketergantungan sama Allah, bila ikhlas menerima ketentuan-Nya maka Allah beri sakinah ketenangan dalam kehidupannya dan tanpa diduga ada jalan keluarnya yg terbaik yang tidak disangka-sangka, nah itulah ilmu taqwa. Keredhoan, dan baik sangka kepada Allah adalah hal yg ghaib, dimana iman bicara, ketika iman itu gak dipelihara agar meningkat lalu logika yang maen terus, maka kemungkinan kegalauan masih ada. Iman belum mantep.

Ketika nikmat iman main, yg ada kerutinan ibadah dan ketaatan yang tidak dibantah. Mana ada Allah menyia-nyiakan kebaikan hamba-Nya ?.

Hijrahnya Rosul dan para sahabat ke Madinah lalu meninggalkan omset dan asset ke madinah juga bicara iman, kalo logika jelas galau. Gawean sama dagangan, bahkan rumah ditinggal, Namun demi Agama Allah dan iman mereka membuktikan cintanya, dan di Madinah membangun peradaban Islam dan romawi serta persia dua imperium besar ditaklukkan dengan harta besar yang didapat dari romawi persia dalam genggaman kaum Muslimin, hingga akhirnya Islam menguasai sepertiga dunia.

Ketika Iman surut, logika nafsu menyalahi ayat-ayat Allah misalnya meninggalkan shalat karena logika rapat gak bisa ditinggal, atau logika gak pake jilbab karena logika takut gak dapet jodoh, atau sedekah pake logika karena takut miskin, maupun takut gak bisa beli BB baru, atau ragu balasan Allah, pake mikir-mikir dulu dan bisa juga disisi lain ada logika tujuan selain Allah dengan mendahulukan kebanggaan materi semu, kenikmatan sesaat, punya mobil maunya pamer, beli BB baru maunya biar dilirik sodara, biar kelihatan keren itu jadi ujub, dan rawan lari ke dosa2 lainnya seperti sombong, dusta dst.

Ketika iman diduluin, keliatan hidupnya akan respek dengan ayat2 Allah, keliatan dakwahnya membina keluarga dan orang lain, gak suka dengan kemaksiatan, sedih temennya beloman berjilbab, sedih suaminya belum sholat dst. Perasaan itulah salah satu yang menunjukkan Imannya yaitu ada kecemburuan agama, mane ada cinta gak pake cemburu. Dan hatinya tidak bisa pindah kelain hati.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda : Barangsiapa melihat kemungkaran rubahlah dengan tangan, bila tidak mampu dengan lisan, bila tidak bisa yaitu dengan hati, dan itulah selemah-lemahnya iman (HR-Muslim) - Ust. Yusuf Mansur

Advice

The beauty of Islam is that we put our full effort into achieving what we want. After that if we don't get what we wanted then we say Alhamdulillah, because Allah chooses the best for us.
 
If you regret about the past, it
s only beneficial if it motivates you to change whatever you regret for the future.
 
Allah doesn't want us to despair of His Mercy.

What never happened was never meant to be. So don't lose sleep over it. Accept it and move on. 
The rich person is not one who had riches, it's the one who is content with what he's been given.
Remember our fate is written by Allah. All fretting and despair is from whisperings of shaytan.
Allah give you strength in eeman.

Gelisah ?

Silakan periksa hati
Pasti ada selain Allah yang mendominasi hati ini

Bisa manusia/makhluk
Bisa benda/harta
Bisa pujian/penilaian/cinta makhluk
Bisa harap dan takut kepada manusia
Bisa keinginan duniawi
Bisa diperbudak nafsu

Hati hanya tenang bila terpusat kepada Allah
Kembali kepada-Nya dan pasrah kepada ketentuan-Nya

Semakin penuh hati ini oleh ingat, dan yakin kepada semua janji dan jaminan Allah..
Serta semakin patuh

Dijamin semakin tentram hati ini
