Jangan Bersedih

If you do not help your Prophet, (it does not matter): Allah did help him before when the disbelievers forced him to go away from his home, and he was but the second of two: when the two were in the cave; when he was saying to his Companion, “Be not distressed: indeed Allah is with us.” Then Allah sent down peace of mind to him from Himself, and helped him with the forces you did not see, and made the word of the disbelievers abased. And Allah’s Word is always supreme, for Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. Q.S 9:40

Sabar dan Syukur

“Do you not see that ships sail in the sea by Allah’s Grace that He may show you some of His Signs? Surely there are Signs in this for everyone who is steadfast, thankful.”
“Tidakkah kamu memperhatikan bahwa sesungguhnya kapal itu berlayar di laut dengan nikmat Allah, supaya diperlihatkan-Nya kepadamu sebahagian dari tanda-tanda (kekuasaan)-Nya. Sesungguhnya pada yang demikian itu benar-benar terdapat tanda-tanda bagi semua orang yang sangat sabar lagi banyak bersyukur.”
Q.S. 31:31

Tujuh Lapis Langit

“Who created the seven heavens one upon another. You will see no incongruity in the Merciful One’s creation. Turn your vision again, can you see any flaw?”

“Yang telah menciptakan tujuh langit berlapis-lapis. Kamu sekali-kali tidak melihat pada ciptaan Tuhan Yang Maha Pemurah sesuatu yang tidak seimbang. Maka lihatlah berulang-ulang, adakah kamu lihat sesuatu yang tidak seimbang?” Q.S. 67:3

Setiap baca ayat ini ketika lagi naik sepeda atau motor di jalan, hampir selalu reflek liat ke langit. Dan muncul perasaan betapa kecilnya diri ini.

Kebaikan >< Kejahatan

“Good and evil are not equal. Repel (evil) with that which is good, and you will see that he, between whom and you there was enmity, shall become as if he were a bosom friend (of yours).”

“Dan tidaklah sama kebaikan dan kejahatan. Tolaklah (kejahatan itu) dengan cara yang lebih baik, maka tiba-tiba orang yang antaramu dan antara dia ada permusuhan seolah-olah telah menjadi teman yang sangat setia.” Q.S. 41:34

Jika kejahatan dibalas dengan cara yang baik, maka yang tadinya musuh bisa jadi berubah menjadi teman setia.
