Dialogue Between the Eyes and Heart

Eyes are a guide and are careful driving and prosecution. Mata had the pleasure of sight and hearts have had the pleasure achievements. In the world of lust are both intimate ally, and if it sinks deeper into trouble and both are allied in the trials; hence each will denounce and revile others.
Speaking to the hearts Eyes
Heart said to the eye, "You're the one who has been dragged to destruction and result in regret because I followed a few moments. You cast your eyes cast to the park, you seek healing from the garden that is not healthy, you blame God saith, 'Let their gaze', do you blame the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam,
النظرة سهم من سهام إبليس مسمومة فمن تركها من خوف الله أثابه جل وعز إيمانا يجد حلاوته في قلبه
"Seeing a woman is poison dart arrows of various demons. Whoever left it for fear of the Almighty God, then God will reward her faith in the pleasures to be found in his heart. "(Narrated by Ahmad)
Umar bin Syabbata said, "We were told Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Yunus, we were Anbasah bin Abdurrahman Al-Qurasyi, we were told Abul-Hasan Al-Madany, we were told Ali ibn Abu Talib radi 'anhu, he said," Messenger of Allah sallallaahu' slaihi wa sallam said, "The view of male to female beauty is an arrow of different kinds of poisonous dart demon. Whoever avoid the arrows, God will replace it with worship that makes him happy. "
So is there a more despicable person than the people affected by the poison dart? Do you not know that nothing is more dangerous to humans than from the eyes and the tongue? No more damage other than damage caused by the eye and the tongue. How much destruction is caused by the eye and the tongue? Whoever wants to live a happy and commendable, then let him hold his eyes and tip of his tongue, to be saved from danger, because storing excess eye view and store excess tongue to speak.
The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has confirmed that the two eyes that can fornicate. Both are starters pubic adultery, guides and drivers. He was asked about the sudden sight. Then he ordered the man who asked it to look away. He gives useful guidance to him and avoid what brings harm (hazards) for him. He is also said to Ali bin Abu Talib, "Thou shalt not susuli view with the view again."
These are the words of the scholars, "Who's indulgence in his view will reap the consequences. Who lingering look, will also continue ongoing remorse, lost time and berkerpanjangan misery. "
A poet says,
Compete in the eye eye view
is the damage to the liver
while there was fighting
up covered in blood and dead
Another poet said,
O my eyes, you enjoy the view
then you susupkan bitterness in the hearts
careful not to disturb you again this
wrongs with one swing
Eyes of the Heart Disclaimer
Eyes said, "You zhalimi me from beginning to end. You kukuhkan my sin physically and spiritually. Though I was always obedient messenger and a guide that shows you the way. "
"You are a king who adhered to. While we are just people and followers. To meet your needs, you raise me up bi nal horse, accompanied by threats and warnings. If you told me to shut my door and poked hijabku, will gladly kuturuti mPIN man and a fair judge. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has made the decision for me by saying,
ألا وإن في الجسد مضغة إذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله وإذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله ألا وهي القلب
"Verily in the body there is a blood clot. If he is good, then the better the whole body, and if it is damaged, then the whole body is also damaged. Know that a blood clot is the heart. "(Narrated by Al-Bukhari, Muslim and others)
Abu Hurayrah radi 'anhu said, "The heart is the king and all the members of the body are the troops. If the king is good, better the army. If the bad king, the army also bad. "When thou awarded the view, of course you know that the damage is due to damage your followers yourself, and the good they are because of your kindness. If you are damaged, broken anyway your followers. Then you throw guilt to the eye of the helpless. Source of evil befalls you is because it does not have the love of God, do not like dhikr to Him, do not like the word, asthma 'and His nature. You switch to the other and turn away from Him. You changed besides his love. Though you have heard the story of the denial of God to the Children of Israel, because they replace existing food with other foods that are even more despicable. God then denounce them.
أتستبدلون الذي هو أدنى بالذي هو خير
"Will you take something that is low as a better substitute?" (Surat Al-Baqarah: 61)
What is the state substitute love for the Creator, Protector, and who handles his business, which does not have the luck, joy and pleasure? Compare God with anything that you make the replacement and replacement of His love to Him. Are you the pleasure is in the toilet, while the people who love God are in the 'Throne? If you expose yourself to God and turn away from Him apart, of course you will see all sorts of miracles, you are safe from disaster and destruction. Surely you already know that he specializes fortune and pleasure to those who come to Him with a pure heart or a net of idolatry in which there is no love to other than Him and follow His pleasure only.
Mata said, "Between my sins and your sins like a man in the middle between blindness and kebutaanmu in making analog."
God has said about people in crisis,
فإنها لا تعمى الأبصار ولكن تعمى القلوب التي في الصدور
"Surely not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the breasts." (Al-Hajj: 46)
Spleen Come Talk
When hearing the dialogue between the heart and the eye as well as the two of them debate, the spleen said, "You two go hand-in-hand to the collapse and kill me. There are those who have described the debate you,
Eyes assumes inflict suffering heart
care that has been imposing its will
but the body bears witness to falsehood eye
disaster is indeed originated from the eye care
right eye do not suppose there is no pain
not be a victim of it lying
spleen languish as the persecuted victim
because the liver and the eyes are not subject to the Creator
Another poet said,
I tossed insults to the liver
because I saw my body emaciated
careful eye to follow what they want
by saying, 'You are the ambassadors'
eye say to the heart,
'Indeed thou hast become the guide'
Spleen said, 'Stop this debate'
You guys let me as a victim
Spleen said again, "I will be making a decision between you two (eye and liver). You two work together in disaster, as well as the enjoyment and pleasure. Eyes absorb the fun and ardent heart and always dreamed of. Therefore the poet said about you two,
There is a hue excitement when love disappears
salvation upon you, O the eyes and hearts
I no longer watch at night
free from loneliness and penederitaan
we all deserve happiness
if back no more jokes and laughter
Spleen said again, "If you do not receive the help that could help change the hearts and sight, so do not expect there will be peace in the heart." Poet says,
I do not know why kucerca love
or contaminated eyes or hearts
why kucerca heart can see
careful eye sinful if kucerca
eyes and my heart divide my blood
Rabbi yes please the eye and the heart
Spleen said again, "If you love the water flushed with a heart of glass-your glass, meaning you set fire to her desire, and then you go up with the steam rising then falling. The first time you drank and you are also the first to feel the heat.
The judge who made the decision in between the two is that set between soul and body, if the two are at odds. It says in an illustrious atsar, "Disagreements among creatures are always there until the Day of Judgment arrives, until the soul and body of contradictory. The bodies said to the spirit, 'Thou art that moves me, and told me to reverse. If not so, of course I'm not going to move and act like it. 'Spirit says to the body,' thou eat, drink, rejoice and feel the pleasure of it thou who deserve punishment. 'Then God sent an angel to them to decide their cases , saying, 'The Parable you two are like people see who could only sit and blind people who can only walk. Both entered a garden. People who could see say to people who are blind, "In this garden I saw her, but I can not stand."
The blind man said, "I can stand but can not see anything."
People who could see saying, "I Panggullah then walk, so I can pick it."
Then who should bear the burden? Both bear the brunt. That picture of the state of the eye and the heart.

true Love In Islamic

True Love in Islam
Meaning of 'True Love' continues to be sought and explored. Man from age to age to talk about it as if it never bored. Actually? what's 'True Love' and how Muslims view him?
Alhamdulillah, hopefully terlimpahkan sholawat and salam to the Prophet Muhammad, his family and friends.
Society anywhere in the world are currently being harassed by the myth of 'True Love', and lulled by the dream 'Sacred Love'. Therefore,-do, they prepare to celebrate the day of love "Valentine's Day".
On this occasion, I do not want to invite you trace the history and chronology of this warning. And also do not want to talk about today's celebrations to follow the law. Because I am sure, you've heard and read about it all. However, I would like to invite you to a little dive: what is love? Is there true love and pure love? And a model of what love had adorned your heart?
A researcher from Researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico reveal the results of his research was so surprising. He said: A love affair is doomed to saturation point, not just because of sheer boredom, but because of the chemicals in the brain that activates the love that has been depleted. Sense infatuated and in love with someone is not going to last more than 4 years. If it has 4 years old, love vanished, and there remained only sex drive, instead of a pure love again.
According to him, feeling madly in love appears at the beginning and expenses caused by the activation of specific chemical component in the brain, hormones such as dopamine, endorphins, pheromones, oxytocin, neuropinephrine that makes a person feel happy, flowery and radiant. But as time goes by, and the responsibility and exposure to storm dynamics of the effects of these hormones diminish and disappear. (Source: www.detik.com Wednesday, 09/12/2009 17:45 pm).
Well, how's that for the fate of your love dearer than your spouse? And what about the fate of your love to your partner? It could be gone and buried long ago.
You want to be miserable because no longer feel the beauty of love with your partner and no longer enjoy the gentle cradle of love with him? Or do you want to still feel how wonderful love your partner and also how happy loving your spouse?
Brother, if you love your partner for beauty or good looks, so this time I believe the notion that he is the prettiest and most handsome, has faded.
When the first taste you love him grow because he is a rich man, then I'm sure at this time, no longer spectacular wealth in your eyes.
If you love blossomed since she was a high dignitaries and respected in the community, then the current position is no longer as bright as the first sparkling dazzle your views.
Brother! if you are already bound in love to someone, but it is not your husband or wife, it is better if you test your levels of love. Get to know the extent to which the holiness and sincerity you love him. Try to sit down for a moment, imagine you are in a state of toothless lover dented, tattered clothes sitting in a decrepit slum. Will you still love as powerful rumbling you feel right now?
The scholars 'history relates that one day Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr radhiallahu' anhu traveling to Sham for trade. On the way, he saw a slender-bodied woman, beautiful and shapely named Laila Al Judi Bintu. Unexpectedly and mistaken, Laila Cupid's darts pierced heart raced and Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr radhiallahu 'anhu. So since that day, Abdurrahman radhiallahu 'anhu drunk intoxicated therefore, could not help but love the storm Laila Al Judi Bintu. So Abdurrahman radhiallahu 'anhu often weave bair-stanza poem, to express her screams. The following are among the verses of poetry he had the chain:
I always thought of Laila which is across the country SamawahDuhai, what Bintu Laila Al Judi affair with me?My heart is always shrouded by the shadow of the womanParas face pobud shadowing my eyes and I thought to inhabit.Duhai, when will I be able to see him,Hopefully along the pilgrimage caravan, he came, and I met.
Because so often he mentions the name of Laila, to the extent that the Caliph Umar ibn Al Khattab radhiallahu 'anhu feel sorry for him. So when he sent troops to subdue the land war Sham, he advised the commander of the war: when Laila Al Judi Bintu including one of your war prisoners (thus becoming slaves), then give it to Abdurrahman radhiallahu 'anhu. And Subhan Allah, Allah taqdir after the Muslims had mastered Sham country, including one obtained Laila prisoners of war. So Abdurrahmanpun dream come true soon. Comply with the message Caliph Umar radhiallahu 'anhu, then Laila who has been a prisoner perangpun be given to Abdurrahman radhiallahu' anhu.
You can imagine how overjoyed Abdurrahman, shoots love side dish arrived, dreams really accomplished. So love Abdurrahman radhiallahu 'anhu to Laila, to the extent that he forgot his other wives. He did not get treatment reasonable, then his wives complained that another party to the behavior Abdurrahman 'wife Aisha Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam who is her biological sister.
Responding to reprimand her sister, Abdurrahman said: "Do not you see how beautiful teeth, which like pomegranate seeds?"
But not so long Laila treat Abdurrahman romance, she overwritten disease that causes lips "Shining" (fall, so the teeth are always visible). Since then, Abdurrahman love fade and even disappear. When first he came to forget about the other wives, so now she began to be extreme. Abdurrahman no longer willing to see Laila and always being rude to him. Could not receive this treatment, Lailapun denounce her husband's attitude to 'Aisha radhiallahu' anha. Laila got this complaint, then 'Aisyahpun immediately rebuked his brother, saying:
يا عبد الرحمن لقد أحببت ليلى وأفرطت, وأبغضتها فأفرطت, فإما أن تنصفها, وإما أن تجهزها إلى أهلها, فجهزها إلى أهلها.
"O Abdurrahman, first you love Laila and excessive in love. Now you hate and hate excessive in. Now, should you choose: You be fair to him or you return it to his family. Because urged by his sister so, then eventually repatriate Abdurrahmanpun Laila to her family. (Tarikh Damascus by Ibn 'Asakir 35/34 & Tahzibul Kamal by Al Mizzi 16/559)
How my brother! You want a taste of how bitter a fate experienced by Bintu Laila Al Judi? Or do you dream of a fate similar to that experienced by Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr radhiallahu 'anhu? (1)
Do not be surprised if your ancestors have warned you to always be aware of this fact. They revealed this fact in an expression that is quite unique: the neighboring Grass looks greener than the grass itself.
You are curious to know, why this fact could happen?
Discover the secrets to the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam following:
المرأة عورة فإذا خرجت استشرفها الشيطان. رواه الترمذي وغيره
"The woman is nakedness (to be covered), when he he came out of his house, then the devil will be impressed him so beautiful (in the eyes of men who are not mahram)." (History At Tirmizy and others)
Arabs express this phenomenon by saying:
كل ممنوع مرغوب
Any such forbidden interesting (lure).
Previously, when the relationship between you and her forbidden in the religion, the devil tried his best to obscure the view and common sense, so you washed away by storms romance. Because you are lost in a storm illicit romance, then you become blind eyes and deaf ears to be, so you also slogan: Love is blind. In Arabic proverb stated:
حبك الشيء يعمي ويصم
Your love for something, make you blind and deaf.
But after the relationship between the two of you have been lawful, the devil spontaneous uncover their face, and turn. Satan no longer spread the veil in your eye, instead trying to stem the vicious storm that has been raging romance in your soul. At that moment, you begin to discover the identity of your partner as it is. At that time you begin to realize that the relationship with your partner is not only limited to the affairs of the face looks, social status, possessions. You begin to realize that the husband-wife relationship is more widespread than just a face or face positions and possessions. What's more, Satan has reversed course, and trying hard to separate you two in divorce:
فيتعلمون منهما ما يفرقون به بين المرء وزوجه. البقرة 102
"So they learned from Harut and Marut (the name of two demons) that what they can divorce her (separate) between a (husband) from his wife." (Surat al-Baqara: 102)
You may ask, then how should I behave?
Be reasonable and always use common sense and your conscience. Thus, the veil of romance does not make your view blurry and you are not easily washed away by boasting lies and false promises.
Maybe you re asked: If so, who is actually eligible to get my holy love? To whom I should love my tether strap?
Listen to the answer of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam:
تنكح المرأة لأربع لمالها ولحسبها وجمالها ولدينها, فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك. متفق عليه
"Normally, a woman was married for four reasons: because of their wealth, position, beauty and because of his religion. You should marry the religious woman, surely you will be happy and lucky. "(Agreed alaih)
And in another hadith he said:
إذا خطب إليكم من ترضون دينه وخلقه فزوجوه إلا تفعلوا تكن فتنة فى الأرض وفساد عريض. رواه الترمذي وغيره.
"If there is a religion and has akhlaqnya you like, come to apply, then accept his proposal. If not, will undoubtedly be chaos and massive destruction on earth. "(History At Tirmizy and others)
Growing love for the faith, pious deeds, and noble morality, will continue to blossom. Not be cracked by the sun, and did not fade because of rain, and would not break even death have been picked.
الأخلاء يومئذ بعضهم لبعض عدو إلا المتقين. الزخرف 67
"People who (during the world) love each other on that day will be foes one to another except the pious." (Surat Az Zukhruf: 67)
Brother! Love your boyfriend because of faith, charity and pious akhlaqnya, that eternal love. Do not you ever crave love adorning yourself even if you have entered into the grave and later resurrected on the Day of Resurrection? Would not you expect that your boyfriend is always loyal and love you even though you have elderly and even have inhabited the grave?
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:
ثلاث من كن فيه وجد حلاوة الإيمان: أن يكون الله ورسوله أحب إليه مما سواهما, وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله, وأن يكره أن يعود فى الكفر كما يكره أن يقذف فى النار. متفق عليه
"Three things, when they are present in a person, he undoubtedly felt the sweetness of faith: When Allah and His Messenger more than he loves apart from them, she loves someone, she does not love him but because of God, and he hates to return to kufr after God saved him, like his hatred if you want pushed into the flames. "(Agreed alaih)
Brother! just love that blossomed because of faith and morality mulialah sacred and true. This love will be eternal, timeless in the wind or sunlight, and did not fade because of the rain.
Yahya bin Mu'az said: "Love for God will not increase just because the person you love do you good, and not be reduced because it is rude to you." That is because you love blossom grows because of the faith, pious and charitable noble morality, faith so that when someone you love does not grow, then you also will not grow in love. And conversely, if the one you love faith decreases, the love you also helped reduced. You love him, not because of the material, the position or rank of a beautiful face, but because he is faithful and noble berakhlaq. This is the eternal holy love my brother.
Brother! after you read this simple, let me ask: Is it true that you love the sacred? Is it true that your love is true love? Prove brother ...
Wallahu a'alam bisshowab, sorry if there are words that are less pleasing or offensive.

Footnote:
1) My brother, after reading the love story of friend Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr, I hope you do not comment or speak badly about best friend Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr. Because he was one of the companions of the Prophet, so have the honor to be your case. As for the errors and mistakes that happen, then it is a regular thing, because he's also human, could be wrong and can make mistakes. Good deeds of the Companions of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam so much so that it will cover oversights. Not until you feel yourself better than anyone let alone to cause you ridiculed because of an oversight that he did. Mentioned in one atsar (greeting a scholar 'earlier):
من عير أخاه بذنب من عابه به لم يمت حتى يعمله
"Anyone who reproached his brother for a sin which he did, it is not dead until he fell into the same sin."

love in islam

Love In Islam
Love should be expressed properly in accordance with its size. If not, should merosakan. The rules of love and affection this needs to be preserved, so that should always be maintained and preserved its beauty as well as being a strong fortress.
For example, look at the husband and wife. Love and compassion should be a very strong fortress to face cubaan and test from God. If we are able to maintain the presence of compassion and love, we will have the best protection for large faces and the storms of life.
However, people often do not know the wisdom that is hidden behind a cubaan and exams. More so if the man had used his ego. Usually they will lose and tend mempesoalkan about exams and cubaan that happened.
For example when someone vomit feelings to someone he likes. Then they believe they will prevail bahawa relationship to the necromancer bridal bed. However, they broke up in the middle of the road.
This phenomenon is common in the society, but it is often difficult to deal with. If not careful, may lead to disappointment and influence to the joints of a person's life.
Often defeat a human in the test of Patience usual romance whack youth. In fact, the younger generation is expected by the public as an agent of change. Very affectionate when they lost in the struggle era, only kerana affairs of love and affection. Failure to maintain a sense of love. They just are not able to deal with the very basic nature when facing the trials of life.
When young people drop out of love, as if the end of all hope for the affection of jantina opposite. They are not. Them the opportunity to gain the affections of truth in that corridor is still wide open.
Even so, should we expect the love and compassion of God. Love and affection than the highest and best of love and affection from anywhere. We should always be positive prejudiced against God. So as to make us accept the fact when an expression of love and affection towards our neighbor interrupted in the middle of the road.
We also do not lose grip of life, namely Islam. After all, is something that we get the best results given by God. Although at first we did not understand and feel pain, but if we believe bahawa it is the best, we will willingly accept it.

    How to maintain and manage the feelings of love and affection that both the couples?
Usually, before marriage, young men and young women are always urgent and seemingly desperate to get married. But, after marriage, will taste bland kerana everything is known and open. Dream ever dreamed before get married first, often foundered in disputes, domestic violence, and divorce. In this case, there is a failure in keeping love and affection.How to teach the love of the Prophet of Islam?
Apostles themselves always gives warmth to his wives, particularly Aisha. He always played and praised Aisha. Simple and easy to put into practice to maintain warmth. For example, by practicing to kiss his wife 3 times a day. No need stealth. If I may, before the children so that they may see ibubapanya happy.
Apostle also always pointed out to deliver good words to his wife every day like, "You're so pretty today." Apostle mencontohkannya to always call Aisha to prod the "cheeks". Expressions such as these, although seems ridiculous Ngada, but it is the prayer of the heart revealed.
No need to buy beauty tools are expensive so the wife become more beautiful by the day. Enough with praise every day, then the wife will look prettier, though getting older day by day. Kerana wife beauty is in her heart.
The good deeds will always be seen by God. He promised that if there are servants who do good by trying to maintain the love and keep love as a husband kerana Allah, Allah will be approached. When his servant approached with a walk, God will get him to run. This appointment should be a motivation for us to always keep our families well.

    "Do not spend your love and affection in the period before menikah.Masih there is a long journey in the household later".

Rich and poor in the Islamic perspective

by: Hanry Marifatulloh
Once I asked a friend about the meaning of life. I asked with a light to him, "what the hell are you to school and go to school anymore?", He replied with a soft "yes for the rich", he replied. This simple word jolt to my heart. Then I asked turning back, "why should the rich, not to worship or seek knowledge?", He replied with a no-load, "Yes, if I kayakan I could help someone else, if I was rich I could give."
The simple warm conversation to date imprint my hearts, I hope my friend rizka rahman still remember him, and may Allah have mercy on him always. Perhaps it normal for the few, but very unusual for me, because a lot of friends who were asked the same thing, they replied with an answer that cliche, like studying lah or so. But my friend said this one vividly clear and powerful, in my opinion. My lecture is to seek blessings of Allah at its core, but I also was not hypocritical that spirit to be rich there, of course, the rich blessings, which blessed by Allah SWT. Moreover, yesterday I read a book called "I do not want to be rich but to be rich", his AA Gym, after reading the book I remembered that earlier percakaan, and in that book I also understand that it is a necessity rich and in syari'atkan in religion of Islam. To become rich that we as Muslims should not want it but we as Muslims harusn rich ... well now the question is, what if after the rich we are not prepared to accept, as the story of a dead swallow Qorun own property, how the wealth that makes us forget the Hereafter and more love the world. Well that's why friends, before we rich we must prepare to pick up the wealth. Ie with more Mengel Allah SWT, because wealth is not a problem for people who fear Him. In the eyes of Allah's people rich and poor are equal, and for us it was an ordeal, and in the eyes of Allah is the most pious only the most noble course.
To my knowledge there are preachers or penulisyang requires Muslims was rich, but on the other hand there are many preachers who notebene graduates of the schools do not live rich. He even enjoy the life that I thought for a moment look at the phenomenon. Should not the rich rich people in Indonesia, especially the kampong my religious teachers and preachers, so of course I think they are better understood and more pious religion. Well that is a question my hearts, whether it was fate, or what? But to my knowledge most of them want to live like that, For fear that the rich be forgotten hereafter as I mentioned earlier ... but if my opinion does not anyway if you want to live rich for fear of forgetting the Hereafter is fine but it should still have a more worldly possessions , and has a good work ethic. Rosululloh king like life very simple but abundant riches offered to the people. Before I know, I know that the Prophet of poverty, distress, my first thought was Prophet possessed poor in the sense of excess property. But as I now know more about the Prophet king, he was evidently wealthy, he acquired property more, but even so his life is not rich or very simple, why do so because he was with his wealth ascetic, ascetic here in the sense it is not allowed to own property abundant but his heart is not related to or in love with the property. So we too should follow the example of Prophet, we must be rich but we should not love our treasure it. If it says aa gym, we wear shoes like we just not enough foot is stored hearts as well, meaning that if we had not made their wealth and pride do not make a miserable loss.
Well if so then the question arises again then why should we rich??? Why do we have to be rich, so obviously it's wealth as a means of us reaching for the blessing of Allah. If we were rich we could bersodakoh, berinfak more from people whose wealth a little, we could hajj, we can create a boarding school, we can member employment opportunities for homeless and beggars, and we can show that Islam is rahmatan lil 'alamim, buakankah every prayer we ask for happiness in the world and the Hereafter ...
[In this article I just wanted to express what I understand from the above problems, hopefully be an inspiration. But if there is an error on my writing very haturkan apologize profusely. Because, to be honest heart is afraid that all my writing actually is not entirely in accordance with my attitude, but hopefully with my writing can be giroh and inspirasa for myself. I am also still trying to learn to be the best people. May Allah always keep my sincerity and bless me, and continues to forgive my mistakes .... Ameen.]

In Islam the concept of Welfare

Materialistme teaches that prosperity is measured from the possession of luxury goods. More and more luxury items owned the higher the level of well-being, and vice versa.
It must be recognized that today very few are able to reveal the writing of many realities and history of science that has been rooted and inspired much of the Islamic world. Even with that reality deliberately buried and obscured by the frenetic other parts of the world of science-based greed. Musababnya political power base. Both do have a real difference. Development of science in the Islamic world clearly departs from the plenary spirituality which then stimulates contemplation, tasyakur and solemn thoughts for kemashlahatan mankind, not greed to tame the world.In the heyday of Islamic religious position has a very vital position. At the time it was not just a religious dogma. Islam spread with rationality and exemplary. Historians agree mentioned at least 700 years in the past as a golden age (golden century of Islam), at the same time Europe wallowed in darkness (the dark age).
               Islamic scholarsIslamic development is inseparable from the role of Islamic scholars, including Muslim economists. The role of Muslim scientists inspired by the message of Quran revelation for reasonable utilization. This is the missing pearls today and as a result the Muslim world behind and lose competitiveness. More scholarly motivation filled by the desire to have as much material as possible (materialism).Materialistme teaches that prosperity is measured from the possession of luxury goods. More and more luxury items owned the higher the level of well-being, and vice versa. Logic people now on welfare terkontruksi with the idea of ​​materialism. Where it is not unreasonable in another sense it's hard to be accepted by reasonable to say that the people who live in simple huts far more prosperous than the people who live in plush apartments, or considered insane if there is a saying that people who only have a battered bike away more prosperous than people who have limitted edition BMW.A change in the social structure of today's society can not be separated from the economic system adopted. Capitalist economic system that worships the material as an indicator of well-being (economisentris). On the basis of economic calculations in the mind and the mind which then builds social and economic relations of society. This is establishing the individual to society. People would be much appreciated if you have a good economy.Bad sides of economic development, socially caused by unequal distribution of income, where the rich get richer and the poor getting memiriskan. Social relations has declined, more appreciative of good individuals who have or are economically than individuals who have a social and moral qualities are good. This is evident when the current was more reward individuals who have a lot of money even if a corrupt person than pious or good-hearted but poor.
          Concept of WelfareMembincang economy will never be separated from the concept of well-being (welfare). Even under the assumption developmentaris assume that the ultimate goal of economic development is to create prosperity. One of the advantages of the concept of well-being is because it has principles and concepts evolve to continue to improve the understanding, because essentially there will always be the concepts better.Quality of life (Quality of life) if during this very thick feel economy (economisentris), now it has undergone a shift where more comprehensive welfare concept with other concepts include such aspects of development that takes into account the social and environmental aspects.What is the meaning prosperous in economy but has poor social interaction, even what's in the high economic growth if it must destroy the environment. By him that the concept of well-being developed today is how to create a secure society financially, socially established and still protecting the environment.It turns out Islam also has the concept of well-being that much better than western economic concepts. The concept has also been implemented well, ranging from the time of the Holy Prophet, the Caliph until his successor. Welfare in the view of Islam is not only judged by the size of the material all day, but also assessed the size of the non-material, such as, spiritual fulfillment, maintaining moral values, and the realization of social harmony.In view of Islam, prosperous society said when met two criteria: First, the fulfillment of people's basic needs of every individual; better food, clothing, shelter, education, and health. Second, awake and terlidunginya religion, wealth, soul, mind, and human dignity. Thus, the welfare of not only the fruit of the economic system alone; fruit but also the legal system, political system, cultural system, and social system. ***

tawakkul form of welfare is a Muslim

In April 2001, I quit my job as a lawyer in New York City and moved to Hollywood to become a screenwriter. I walked away from a six-figure income and the prestige of working at one of the most respected law firms in the United States. At the time, I was inundated with shocked reactions by my fellow Muslims. They said I was crazy to leave behind a secure position, one that I had spent years of hard work and study to achieve. And to make it worse, I was throwing away a secure income to pursue a pipe dream.

At the time there were no Muslims known to be working as television or feature film writers, and the idea that I would just throw everything away on the minute chance that I could become one of the first to establish himself in Hollywood, an industry dominated by Jews, seemed beyond ludicrous. It appeared to be suicidal. I would not only fail, my Muslim friends told me, I would be bankrupt. Humiliated. I would be the cautionary tale that my friends would tell their children if they ever showed the temerity to embrace art as a livelihood.

Ten years later, by the mercy of Allah (God), I have proven them wrong. I am now an established writer who is accustomed to working at the highest levels of the Hollywood industry. I have sold movie scripts to major film studios, such as my epic screenplay on the love story of the Taj Mahal to Warner Brothers. I have worked as a writer and producer on prominent television shows, ranging from NBC’s Bionic Woman and Kings to the Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated Sleeper Cell on Showtime Network.

The latter provided me a chance to do important dawah, as the show revolved around a Muslim FBI agent who fights al- Qaida. Through Sleeper Cell, I was able to present an authentic vision of Islam as a religion of peace and wisdom that is very much at home in America. Muslims have complained for decades about how the media misrepresents Islam, and by the bounty of Allah, I have been in a position to finally change that.

That commitment to working within American media to transform the discourse on Islam has also extended to publishing. I have published two novels through Simon & Schuster focusing on great Muslim heroes and heroines. My first novel, Mother of the Believers, tells the story of the birth of Islam from the point of view of Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Through Aisha’s story, I was able to not only present the remarkable history around the formative years of the Muslim community, but also to present an amazing heroine who shatters every stereotype about Muslim women. Aisha was not a cringing, submissive homebody. Instead she was a firebrand, a fiercely intelligent, outspoken woman who was not only the Prophet’s most beloved wife, but also a poet, scholar, political leader and military commander. By presenting her story as a novel, I not only reached a large non- Muslim audience that had never heard of her, but also many Muslims who, despite their reverence for the sahaba (companions of the Prophet), actually know very little of the amazing history around the birth of Islam.

My second novel, Shadow of the Swords, looked at another pivotal figure, Salah al- Din ibn Ayyub, the great Muslim general who liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders. Known to the West as Saladin, he was famed even by his enemies for his honor and nobility. At a time when many non- Muslims (and regrettably some Muslims) believe that Islam is a religion that promotes violence, that “jihad” means murdering innocent civilians in the name of Allah, the story of Saladin serves to remind us all that a true Muslim fights evil by embracing a life of ethics and moral dignity. By presenting Saladin’s story in the form of an action-packed novel on the Crusades, I reached a broad audience who had little interest in reading dry historical scholarship.

My novels and screenplays were written as part of my commitment to using my position as a Muslim in the media to promote a positive image of Islam – the very position that my fellow Muslims once told me could never be obtained. Looking back over the past 10 years, I am grateful that I did not allow their negativity to sway me. And by the mercy of Allah, others are now joining me on this quest. Muslims are beginning to come to Hollywood to explore their dreams of becoming writers, directors and actors. Muslim stand-up comics are becoming more prominent, as are Muslim journalists and bloggers. And – of course, it had to happen – the first Muslim reality TV show has appeared in the form of TLC’s All American Muslim.

Muslims are becoming a living part and parcel of Hollywood and the media. They are reshaping the image of Islam after decades of stereotypes and propaganda. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Muslim community still has a major obstacle that needs to be overcome if this trend is to continue and flourish. That obstacle is not external. It is not some cabal of Islamophobes in the media trying to hold us back. Anti-Muslim bigots do exist in Hollywood, and many of them do wield great power. But they are not the real obstacle. That great obstacle is the same one I faced a decade ago. It is the deep-seated insecurity of the Muslim community and its resistance to taking risk. It is the Muslim fear of failure that remains the greatest challenge to transforming how Islam is presented by Hollywood and the media.

Muslims are an incredibly hard-working people. We are highly educated. We are prosperous. And we are at the same time shackled by the chains of our own insecurities.

Growing up in New York City, I was blessed to come from a rare Muslim family where I was actually free to take a different path. Unlike every other young Muslim I knew, I was never pressured by my parents to follow the fields for which we have become famous in the past 20 years – medicine and engineering. I had no interest in math or science and had always been a writer at heart, a skill that my parents thankfully encouraged. And as far as I could tell in my community, they were the only Muslim parents who encouraged their children to develop artistic abilities. When I told my parents that I was leaving my job as a lawyer to become a full-time writer, they gave me their blessing even as other Muslims mocked me. Why? It was because my parents were deeply spiritual people who had a quality that Muslims love to talk about but in reality rarely demonstrate – tawakkul.

Tawakkul is an Arabic term that essentially means “to trust in Allah.” Most Muslims pay lip service to the notion that everything is in the hands of Allah, who is Merciful and Compassionate, and that they trust Allah to sustain them. But in practice, most Muslims live their lives like frightened mice, afraid to take risks beyond what has already been demonstrated to be successful for others. The mad rush to fields such as medicine and engineering is a modern Muslim game of “keeping up with the Joneses.” A game predicated on living your life purely to impress your neighbors in a never-ending cycle of homogenous monotony.

The idea of living authentically, of using the skills, passions and talents you are born with, has been drummed out of Muslim consciousness as our self-identity has degenerated. Three hundred years ago, Muslims saw themselves as the leaders of the world in terms of art, culture, science and economic prosperity. Indian Muslims were building the Taj Mahal and the Ottoman Turks were poised to rule Europe. The Muslims of this era were bold risk-takers with a true embrace of tawakkul. They understood that their lives were in the hands of Allah alone, and they marched out into the world as fearless leaders, not afraid to fail.

Today, those Muslims are largely a memory. The Muslims of our time are the product of two centuries of Western political, economic and technological dominance. Muslims see themselves as an oppressed minority, struggling to catch up to non-Muslim civilization. They cling to endeavors that appear to promise economic security (hence the obsession with medicine and engineering). They are afraid to fail, and stick to what they see working for others. As a result, Muslims in America have created a nice middle-class world for themselves, but they lack the true power that comes from innovation, from risk, from the willingness to stand alone and try something new. They lack tawakkul, the knowledge that Allah alone grants real success.

As a result, they are slow to shift with the ever-changing economic tides of the world. Muslims rushed en-masse to become doctors in the past two decades, even as the medical field’s economics were changing under managed health-care systems. When many of my friends graduated medical school, they were bitter that their economic prospects were not as lucrative as they had imagined. They were upset because they had unthinkingly bought into their parents’ expectations that the medical field was “secure.” But Allah reminds consistently in the Holy Quran that there is no “security” in earthly life. Everything from loss of money to illness and ultimately death are presented as warnings to those who fall for the illusion of this life. An illusion that is based on the false notion that as long as one simply follows what others are doing, he or she is safe. Noah’s son took safety with the masses, rejecting his father’s idiosyncratic claim that God’s wrath was coming, and he perished in the Flood. Similarly Pharaoh took refuge in the security of his armies and was taught a final lesson by Allah as the waters came crashing down upon him.

So if there is no security, how should Muslims live their lives today? What does tawakkul mean in a world where risk is rewarded and complacency punished? The answer is that they should follow the very first Sunnah (practice) of the Prophet (peace be upon him) – to live authentically. Before there were prayers or fasts that defined the ritual of Islam, before there was even a group of followers that could be called an ummah (community), one man stood up before society and was true to himself. He said, “There is no god but God.” And he was laughed at, persecuted and ultimately driven out. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was true to himself, even when the whole world was against him. He had found his personal purpose in life, one that rang true in his heart and he followed it, fully knowing that the odds of success were slim and that the bastions of society thought he was crazy. The Prophet (peace be upon him) had tawakkul.

Muslims need to remember that first Sunnah, the Sunnah of personal authenticity. In your heart, you know what Allah has created you to do. It is found in your passion, in your secret longings. For me, that passion was writing, and I followed it despite all the naysayers gathered against me, despite the seemingly impossible odds. If your heart is excited by medicine or engineering as a craft, if it excites you more than anything else, then by all means do it. That is your personal authenticity. But if your heart would prefer to do something else, whether it be art, literature or becoming a stuntman or a jazz musician, and that is what you would do if you never had to worry about money or pleasing others’ expectations – that is what Allah created you to do.

By following your personal dream, you are showing true tawakkul. By giving up your heart to please others (who themselves are living their lives to please others in a never-ending chain of insecurity), you are committing shirk. You are saying that it is not Allah who grants success, but a human being who does not even know if he will live or die tomorrow.

When Muslims regain this understanding that their lives are in the hands of the Creator, they become free. They become authentic. They become leaders. They become the heirs of men and women who exploded out of Arabia and conquered half the world against all odds. Historians have never been able to properly explain how Islam expanded so rapidly and built an advanced civilization with such speed. There is no historical precedent before or after for such an enterprise. But the answer is clear. Muslims had tawakkul. They trusted God and took risks. They absorbed the knowledge, art and culture of other civilizations and boldly incorporated them into their societies. They were pioneers.

We Muslims are not an impoverished people burdened by the shame of colonization. We are the sons and daughters of the people who built the Taj Mahal. Let us reclaim our destinies as leaders of humanity by breaking free of the need for security. Death is the only guarantee on the journey. It is the only thing that we can be secure about. So let us have tawakkul and follow our hearts. And then the Muslims will conquer the world a second time.
