Perjalanan Arwah

Seorang guru Filsafat berkata kepada kami , bahwasanya arwah mengalami perpindahan dari seseorang kepada yang lainnya. Apakah ini benar? Kalau benar, bagaimana bisa bahwa arwahlah yang mengalami adzab dan hisab?

Kalau seandainya berpindah, maka yang dihisab adalah orang lain?

Jawab: Apa yang guru filsafat tersebut katakan kepada kalian bahwasanya arwah seseorang berpindah kepada yang lainnya, tidaklah benar.

"Sesungguhnya perkataan tentang reinkarnasi arwah dari satu jasad kepada jasad yang lainnya adalah perkataannya ahlu at tanasukh (golongan yang berpendapat adanya reinkarnasi ) dan mereka adalah sekafir-kafirnya manusia dan perkataan mereka ini adalah sebatil-batilnya perkataan.

Mereka menjawab, "Tentu, kami menjadi saksi." (Kami lakukan yang demikian itu) agar di hari kiamat kamu tidak mengatakan: "Sesungguhnya kami adalah orang yang lalai dari perkara ini." (Al A'raf 172). Dan telah datang tafsir dari ayat ini sebagaimana yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Malik di "Al Muwattha" bahwasanya Umar bin Khatab radhiallahu 'anhu ditanya tentang ayat ini, (yang artinya): "Dan (ingatlah), ketika Rabbmu mengeluarkan keturunan anak-anak Adam dari sulbi mereka (seraya berfirman): "Bukankah Aku ini Rabb kalian?"

Think! Maybe It Is for the Best

Remember when you were very young and loved to play in the kitchen with all the gadgets? Very likely, your mother would let you play with some things but do not with others. Years passed and when you got older you wanted to try different things and go many places. Perhaps your parents let you try some but disapproved of others. At such times, you would feel frustrated and even angry that you failed to get what you wanted.

Now you are facing life on your own. Your parents have done their job and raised you, protected you and taught you as much as they could. Now you are on your own-just you and your Creator.
Are you still frustrated and angry when you do not get what you want from life?

clipped from www.islamonline.net Almighty Allah wants us to turn to Him for help, guidance, forgiveness and support. Out of His wisdom, Almighty Allah leaves us free to make decisions and explore life but He is there when we call on Him and turn to Him sincerely seeking His pleasure. Almighty Allah knows we will make mistakes and He sends us people and situations to test us and to help us learn. Sometimes, He the Almighty takes things from us but if we are patient and trust in Him, He gives us something better. Almighty Allah says: “…it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing that is bad for you. Almighty Allah knows but you do not know.” (Al-Baqarah 2:216)  “There is nothing that befalls a believer, not even a thorn that pricks him, but Allah will record one good deed for him and will remove one bad deed from him.” (Muslim) Almighty Allah says in a hadith qudsi: “I am as My slave thinks of Me and I am with him whenever he remembers Me.” (Agreed Upon).

An Unforgettable Experience

What do you strive for everyday? What inspires you and lifts you up when you feel low? What makes you smiles?

clipped from www.islamonline.net The situations we go through and the events we witness, knowingly or unknowingly, have a deep impact upon our lives. Everyday Almighty Allah's magnificent decree and perfect plan come into effect. However, if we only have a limited understanding of the relationship we should have with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) we may belittle seemingly 'simple' everyday occurrences.  Everyday, Almighty Allah chooses different servants to be blessed with the gift of guidance which manifests as an inclination to spirituality. However, we can choose whether or not we will experience this blessing. During the month of Ramadan in 2006, I was blessed with a realization that would mark the beginning of my journey towards Almighty Allah. Are we then not to die? Except our former death, and are we not to be tormented? This indeed is the immense triumph. For the like of this, then, let the workers work!
