yg indahnya hanya sementara , yg ikhlas hanya dari hati , dan yg tulus hanya dari sanubari . tak mudah mendapatkan yg hilang dan tak mudah mengejar impian , namun semuanya lebih susah untuk mempertahankan yg ada . ingatlah pepatah "jika kamu tidak memiliki apa yg kamu sukai , maka sukailah apa yg kamu meliki saat ini "... . jadi belajarlah menerima apa adanya dan apapun yg terjadi .
berjalan di titian kodrat
....apa yang harus kita katakan....
jika berharap DIA menentukan (dipetik dari sajak karya Fatin Hamama)
Basahkan bibirmu dengan sentiasa berzikir mengucap kebesaran Illahi Robbi dan yakinlah bahwa tak ada yang impossible bagi Allah SWT bila DIA berkehendak !
tetap sabar,
tetap ikhlas,
tetap kuat,
tetap semangat,
dan tetaplah tersenyum....dunia akan ceria melihat senyummu
you'll never alone and will be fine.....
Jalanilah hidup ini sesuai dengan kenyataan yang datang...
jangan hanyut dalam khayalan...
dan jangan sesekali menerawang ke alam angan-angan...
hadapi hidup ini dengan apa adanya...
kawal jiwa kita untuk dapat menerima dan menikmatinya...
bagaimanapun... tidak semua kawan akan ikhlas kepada kita..
dan semua perkara sempurna pada pandangan kita...
kerana keikhlasan dan kesempurnaan itu bukan ciri dan sifat hidup DUNIA.

"Bekerja, berjuang di jalan Allah mmg jalan yg dijanjikan Allah penuh kesusahan n kepayahan..byk yg kita lihat drpd sirah rasulullah sendiri, cabaran yg baginda hadapi memangnya sgt2 berat, namun Alhamdulillah, Allah sentiasa menunjukkan jalan..n jika dilihat pd pengorbanan insan2 di sekeliling baginda; subhanallah,sungguh menakjubkan! bagaimana bersusah payah asma abu bakar yg mahu mghantar makanan, dlm keadaan sarat mengandung meredah padang pasir n memanjat bukit uhud semata2 mahu memastikan baginda Rasul dan ayahnya tidak keputusan makanan..(boleh check kalau skrg kita nk bt perkara yg sama; dgn kudrat anak muda dan tanpa mengandung ke apa2..) boleh saja Allah berikan jalan mudah, turunkan makanan dr syurga sepertimana yg tercatat dlm kisah nabi Musa, atau sptmana yg diperoleh Maryam ibu Nabi Isa,namun yg pasti, begitulah yg dikehendaki Allah..
barangkali mahu mengajar kpd kita, dalam setiap langkah perjuangan, perlu ada yg sentiasa main peranan, walau setinggi mana tahap kesukaran..tawakkal n pergantungan sememangnya hanya pd DIA seorang, namun usaha yg terhabis baik perlu kita dahulukan...susah dan payah menjadi asam garam hidup seorang da'ie, namun yg pasti, apabila jalan dakwah terasa manis kerana ikhlasnya hati mahu berjuang demiNya, insyaAllah, segalanya akan terasa lebih ringan dan mudah....Allah will help u really, sis =)"

Surat untuk Presiden
"Dear Yth. Presiden RI Bpk Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono yang sebentar lagi akan habis masa jabatannya.
Riau, dari sini Bahasa Indonesia berasal, bahasa yg pernah membuat Nusantara satu.
Titik api di sekitar kami, bukanlah simbol kemarahan Tuhan, tapi simbol keserakahan dan bukti ketidakpedulian Negara, bukti kepongahan Jakarta trhdp Daerah.
Bapak mau ke sini sekarang? Bandara ditutup Pak. Lagi pun tidak ada anak sekolah yang akan menyambut Bapak. Sekolah diliburkan. Mau menempuh jalur darat? Bahaya Pak, asap tebal tidak bagus buat kesehatan Bapak dan Ibu Ani. Lagian juga tdk bagus untuk objek foto Instagram.
Biarkan saja seperti ini, agar Riau bisa menjadi lahan sawit dan bisa ditanami tanaman industri. Biarkan saja seperti ini, kami ikhlas mati pelan-pelan karena ISPA karena ketidakberdayaan kami di Daerah.
Kami Pasrah, Mungkin ini kehendak Tuhan.
Bagi saudara/i kami di daerah lainnya, kami sgt berterima kasih atas doa yg selalu kalian panjatkan, mohon maaf karena kiriman asap Riau kalian jadi terganggu, juga untuk Malaysia dan Singapura, jika kita tdk sempat bertemu muka, semoga kita bertemu di Surga nanti.
Sebarkan ini,semampu yg anda bisa..
Karena Kita INDONESIA.
@Pray for Riau #
Biarkanlah luka dan serpihan lara itu berjalan bersama nadi – nadi hidup yang getir..
Yang dimana nanti sebuah keindahan akan tersumbul dalam kelapangan sebuah “penerimaan”
yang berselimutkan ikhlas, dan teduh penuh kesabaran...
"Berusahalah dengan ikhlas tanpa memikirkan balasan semata-mata, kerana semakin tinggi keikhlasan di dalam diri, semakin tinggilah balasan baik yang akan diperolehi dalam keadaan sedar atau tidak"
"Rasa Merdeka kerana dianugerah Ikhlas dalam Ber'ubudiyyah"..Selamat Bersahur dan meneruskan Ramadhan masuk hari ke sebelas..
Location : Sultan Mosque, Kampong Glam, Singapore.
Masjid Sultan (Malay for Sultan Mosque; is located at Muscat Street and North Bridge Road within the Kampong Glam district of Rochor Planning Area in Singapore. The mosque is considered one of the most important mosques in Singapore. The prayer hall and domes highlight the mosque's star features.
Dari Uthman , r.a , katanya: Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: “ Sesiapa yang membina sesebuah masjid (atau surau) secara ikhlas kerana Allah, nescaya Allah akan membina untuknya sebuah rumah di Syurga.”
Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim
Pesan arwah bapa dan ibu...
"jadilah wanita yang tegar, yang kau pun mampu menjadi tempat bersandarnya suami dan anak - anakmu...
kerana kita tak tahu apa yang akan terjadi nanti...
jadi kamu harus berdikari...
belajarlah menerima, sabarkan hati, dan berusahalah untuk selalu ikhlas ketika kau memberi....
Jadilah peribadi yang sopan dan mengerti keadaan orang-orang di sekitar kamu... "
Jangan biarkan rasa kehilangan itu semakin mencuat dalam peluh kita, hingga berakhir dengan kelukaan dan rasa hampa.
Kerana hal sekecil apapun, memang akan terasa hilang jika dia telah pergi meninggalkan kita, dan merana kerana yang ada hanyalah sisa – sisa asa yang dulu sempat kita tepiskan dari pengakuan hati kita sendiri.
.:: Salam Maal Hijrah 1435H ::.
Ikhlas dari Saya & Keluarga

Alhamdulillah dipanjangkan usia untuk bertemu pada tahun baru...
maaf kepada semua sahabat jika saya ade terkasar gurauan, tuturkata dan perbuatan.. tidak terniat dihati utk menguris perasaan sesiap..semoga persahabatan dan hubungan kite diberkati serta dirahmati.. Ya Allah permudahkanlah segala urusan kami, berkatilah rezeki yg engkau berikan kepada kami.. jauhkanlah kami dari tipu daya syaitan yg direjam..
Ya Allah, Tuhan yang merubah segala keadaan, ubahlah keadaan kami kepada sebaik-baik keadaan dengan kekuasaan dan kurnian-Mu wahai Tuhan Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang. Moga-moga Allah S.W.T mencucuri rahmat dan sejahtera kepada junjungan kami Nabi Muhammad, ahli keluarga dan sahabat-sahabat sekalian. Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan sekalian alam.
The Islamic concept of himmah, as many Gülen scholars have noted, is central to the operation and growth of the Fethullah Gulen movement. This is the name for the regular local fundraising activities to finance its wide educational network or other cultural activities within Turkey or abroad. The concept of himmah (himmet in Turkish), a spiritual virtue in the Islamic Sufi tradition, also holds a key role in Fethullah Gülen‘s understanding of Islam and teaching on the moral education of an ideal Muslim. The Sufi connection should not be surprising as it is well recorded that Gülen’s understanding of Islam has been deeply shaped by the Sufi tradition, which has been an undercurrent of Turkish Islam since its beginning.Despite its significance for Gülen’s teaching, the conceptual meaning of himmah has been given little attention by Gülen scholars. A quick survey of the works conducted on Fethullah Gülen‘s thought or the movement he inspired delivers few results. This is understandable as apart from scholars studying the Sufi tradition, the conceptual meaning and significance of himmah is not well known even among students of Islamic thought. Compounding its relative obscurity among scholars is the challenge of translation. Frequently rendered as spiritual “aspiration,” “yearning,” or “resolve,” this richly suggestive concept is difficult to translate into English with one single word.
This paper attempts to clarify the conceptual meaning of himmah in the context of Gülen’s thought through a cross-cultural comparison with the more familiar Christian virtue of “charity.” This paper begins with a discussion of the contemporary meaning of himmah within the Gülen movement, and moves on to discuss its meaning within the Sufi tradition in the second section. The third section examines the Christian virtue of charity, and the fourth compares charity with himmah. The last and concluding part will raise some questions about the practice of the inter-faith dialogue in relation to this comparison of the two key concepts of Islam and Christianity.
I. The Role of Himmet in the Gülen Movement
It is widely known that the Gülen movement identifies itself as hizmet (hizmāt in Arabic), which means “service” in Turkish. Hizmet is the generic name for all the disinterested public activities conducted by the members of this community to fulfill their duties to religion and nation. Specific examples of hizmet are inter-faith dialogue initiatives and the educational network set up in Turkey and abroad. The term is also used more broadly for self-identification by the community members. Hence, a member of the Gülen movement often identifies himself or herself as a member of hizmet.Related to this concept and less known to the outsiders but perhaps more important in terms of Islamic history is the concept of himmet. It has been noted that the twin concepts of hizmet and himmet provide a general conceptual framework for all the economic, cultural, and religious activities of the Gülen community both inside and outside Turkey.[2] Himmet, as another student of this movement notes, is the technical name used for the fundraising gatherings of the community: “The meetings organized by the Gülen community to obtain financial support for its activities, especially its educational activities, are called himmet meetings.”The organizers of these meetings present the past achievements and future goals or projects of the community, and appeal to the religious sentiments of the participants to collect funds for their activities. The participants, mostly local affluent business owners, pledge to make donations for the cause.
The Turkish word himmet derives from the Arabic word al-himmah (in Persian himmat). The original Arabic word denotes several interrelated meanings. More commonly it is translated as spiritual “aspiration” or “resolve.” Its other renderings by contemporary translators and commentators include “diligence,” “power,” “will,” “yearning,” “desire,” “purpose,” “ambition,” “intention,” “concentration,” and “determination,” all of which are used with a spiritual connotation. Common to all these translations of himmah is the connotation of spiritual or mystical quest for the divine. This quest requires turning one’s attention and efforts from worldly business toward more noble and urgent matters.There are numerous phrases in the Islamic literature in which himmah appears with this connotation of rising above the affairs of the world. The phrase uluww-i himmat (lofty aspiration) was used by the Persian Sufi poet Farid al-Din Attar to mean “setting oneself high goals and not being satisfied with trivial things.”Another phrase in which himmat appears in relation to rulers is himmat-i buland which can be compared to the virtue known as high-mindedness or magnanimity in the Western tradition. For the first moralist of Islam, Miskawaih, izam alhimmah (composure) stands for “a virtue of the soul which causes it to sustain calmly both the happiness of good fortune and its opposites, including the distress which accompanies death.” Miskawaih defines himmah as a kind of courage.
In a short article entitled “Himmet: Teveccüh, İnfak ve Gayret,” (“Aspiration: Orientation, Charity, and Perseverance”), Gülen appeals to the theological roots of himmet in the Islamic tradition.Gülen puts great emphasis here on the fact that there is a deeper spiritual aspect of himmet beyond its popular aspect associated with spending one’s wealth in God’s path. Gülen particularly notes that himmet must be understood first and foremost in its tasawwufi sense. The common practical usage among public as charity (infak) and perseverance (gayret) is subordinate to this older theological meaning. Gülen further points out the connection between himmet and another tasawwufi term teveccüh (tawajjuh in Arabic). Translated as spiritual “concentration,” “orientation,” or “attentiveness,” tawajjuh literally means turning the face toward something.Tawajjuh is often used in the context of turning one’s face toward God or God’s disclosing itself to the Sufi wayfarer (salik) in return.It is also used in relation to the very personal relationship between the Sheikh (master) and the murid (disciple) in the Sufi orders.[9] In both senses it means the spiritual concentration or attention of the salik through which he hopes to receive the grace of God (either directly or indirectly through the sheikh). In relation to tawajjuh, himmet means orientation toward God with all one’s powers by opening one’s heart to God, and purifying oneself from all material or even spiritual interests and pleasures. One must even put aside the thought of heavenly rewards or spiritual powers, and commit his every deed for the sake of gaining Allah’s pleasure.Gülen also notes a second related sense of himmet in the context of social relationships. Himmet means doing a favor, helping one another, coming to the rescue of another, or reaching out to the needy. This social sense of himmet refers to committing oneself to benevolent action with sincerity on the one hand and God’s reciprocating the tawajjuh and sincerity (ikhlās) of his servant (kul) on the other. The servant’s inaba (turning to God with repentance) is reciprocated by God’s merciful tawajjuh toward the servant. God’s favors and care depends on servant’s constant orientation toward God (tawajjuh) as well as God’s reciprocal tawajjuh in mercy. It is this sense of himmet which bridges over the public meaning of doing good deeds through financial means and the tasawwufi sense conceived by sufis as “spiritual power,” which will be explored in the next section.Gülen stresses that contrary to the popular opinion that equates himmet merely with infaq (spending in the service of God) the latter must be understood only as one aspect of the former.Reminding us of the fact that himmet did not have this specific meaning in the past, Gülen points out that both the public calls for assistance and people’s response to these calls have come to be called himmet through time. The theological aspect of himmet, according to Gülen, subsumes the more practical religious virtues and duties of beneficence such as “infaq,” (charity) “sadaqa” (voluntary almsgiving), and “zakat” (obligatory almsgiving).
Gülen also notes that himmet (in the second restricted sense of beneficence) can be conducted not only through wealth but also knowledge, deeds, health, and intelligence. Combining its spiritual and practical sense, himmet can be construed to mean making efforts in the service of one’s religion and nation. Himmet in this sense carries the connotation of striving toward God through serving one’s fellow compatriots, co-religionists, and even all humanity. Gülen concludes his discussion of himmet by remembering Bediüzzaman Said Nursî’s words in the “The Damascus Sermon.” Here Nursî discusses the notion of himmet in the context of national solidarity or fraternity and laments how this notion was successfully applied at his time in the West and almost forgotten in the Islamic world. To quote the important passage on himmet from his sermon in full:
[B]ecause of the idea of nationhood which those foreigners obtained from us, an individual becomes as valuable as a nation. For a person’s value is relative to his endeavour [himmet]. If a person’s endeavour is his nation, that person forms a miniature nation on his own. Because of the heedlessness of some of us and the foreigners’ damaging characteristics that we have acquired, and, despite our strong and sacred Islamic nationhood, through everyone saying: “Me! Me!” and considering personal benefits and not the nation’s benefits, a thousand men have become like one man.Said Nursî goes on to emphasize the Aristotelian notion (incorporated later by Aquinas into the Catholic tradition) that man is a political or social being by nature and must act accordingly to become fully human:If a man’s endeavour is limited to himself, he is not a human being, for human beings are by nature social. Man is compelled to consider his fellow humans. His personal life continues through social life.
It can safely be claimed that Gülen is in agreement with the importance of the virtue of putting the service to others before oneself in the name of God. This virtue indeed constitutes the heart of Gülen’s teaching on the moral education of an ideal Muslim.
II. Himmah in the Sufi Tradition
As Gülen implies in his article, the concept of himmah holds a significant place in the Sufi tradition within Islam. Scholars of Sufism have noted that this is a technical term employed by greatest Sufis of history. Various late medieval Sufi masters such as Ibn Arabi, Suhrawardi, Najm al-Din Kubra, and Abdul-Karim al-Jili or Sufi poets such as Farid al-Din Attar employed this concept in their works.The spiritual powers of earlier mystics such as Hasan al-Basri and Rabi’a al-Adawiyya are also referred to as himmah in the hagiographical literature.This crucial term was often used by Sufis to signify the “determination of the heart to incline itself entirely to God.” Himmah in this sense is an essential quality to possess to be able to follow the arduous Sufi path. A contemporary scholar draws our attention to the significance of himmah to Sufism: “He who has no spiritual aspiration [himmah] or sincere will in seeking God in gratitude or in love cannot have an ambition to follow the path of Sufi walâya [authority].”
Various definitions of the term agree in their emphasis on the fact that himmah involves the spiritual quest for God, and this quest demands first and foremost the further qualities of purity, sincerity, and concentration. According to a contemporary scholar of Islam, himmah implies “total commitment to the goal of achieving spiritual perfection and closeness to God.”[18] In a classic work of Sufism Istilahat al-Sufiya (A Glossary of Sufi Technical Terms), himmah was defined as a term “applied to the freeing of the heart for the desired objects . . .; to the primal sincerity of the aspirant…; and to the concentration of the spiritual aspirations to insure the purity of inspirations.”[19] According to still another scholarly source, himmah is “the quality of perseverance or striving towards God” and “its opposite is al-hiss,” which means “distraction or inattention from concentration upon God.”
For the famous thirteenth century Andalusian Sufi Ibn al-Arabi, who exerted great influence on the course of Sufism after him, himmah is a pure force peculiar to the human being, which is either natural or acquired later in life.As an Ibn Arabi scholar notes, “The phenomenon of himmah is . . . something of much more than marginal significance in Ibn al-Arabi’s thought.”Ibn Arabi held that “it was only possible for human beings to come to a true understanding of the relationship that exists and should exist between creature and Creator if they were to become endowed with this power of himmah themselves.”
Ibn Arabi uses himmah in his major work al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya (The Meccan Illuminations) especially in reference to the ideal of perfect man (al-insan al-kamil), which is characterized by “the inner condition of sidq [truthfulness] or pure spiritual intention (himma).” Himmah, according to Arabi, is the preserve of the spiritual elite as it is “one of the distinguishing signs of the highest forms of true faith in God” and the “natural effect of divine ‘victorious support’ (nasr).”[24] Nasr is a term that combines “the notions of divine assistance and the ‘victory’ resulting from that support.”Ibn Arabi’s coupling of himmah and nasr is especially important for the purposes of this paper as this relationship between the two roughly corresponds to the close connection between charity and grace in the Christian tradition.In Futuhat Ibn Arabi uses the phrase al-fi’l bi’l-himma to refer to the act of “producing effects . . . in the outside world through concentration.” This somewhat supernatural ability is closely related to the development of the faculty of imagination. The 20th century French orientalist Henry Corbin highlights this active (poetic) sense of himmah in Ibn Arabi’s work and uses the phrase “the creative power of the heart” to capture its richly suggestive meaning.[27] According to Corbin, this creative power is essentially “the very power with which God creates and sustains the cosmos, the power by means of which God brought all the cosmic domains, subtle, physical, and intellectual into existence,” but is also something that human beings can partake of.[28] The difference between the mystic’s himmah and the divine himmah is that “God exercises this creative power with perfect attentiveness and concentration whereas the mystic always exercises it with some admixture of inattentiveness.”

112 - One Hundred and Twelve when written on a cheque (who has seen one of them in the last decade).
Finally I find a number 112 to continue my Flickr Numbers Project.
No guesses as to the significance of the natural number 112 which has a very specific dialling purpose in Spain and other European countries. Though if you dial 112 in the UK you will get the same result and be connected to the emergency services.
112 is also the atomic number for Copericum
112 is the code for the offence of Lese Majeste (insulting the monach) in Thailand, where Lese Majeste is taken very very seriously.
112 is the number of surat al-Ikhlas in the Qur'an
Wikipedea lists 42 highways listed number 112.

Mengenali Subjek
Oleh Amir Ridhwan untuk FOTOTEACHER.COM
Pengetahuan berkenaan subjek yang kita rakam adalah satu perkara yang penting jika kita ingin menghasilkan foto yang baik. Jurugambar profesional sentiasa mengkaji subjek yang mereka pilih agar dapat membuat persiapan yang sewajarnya. Perkara ni meliputi semua aliran fotografi tanpa mengira peralatan yang anda miliki. Jika anda ingin mendapatkan masterpiece, kenalilah subjek anda dengan lebih dekat.
Jurufoto potret seringkali berinteraksi dengan subjek sebelum sesi penggambaran dimulakan. Mereka akan berbual tentang pelbagai perkara meliputi keluarga, pekerjaan dan kampung halaman. Saya sentiasa berbual kosong dengan subjek manusia ketika melakukan persiapan penggambaran supaya dapat membina kemesraan dan kepercayaan. Perbualan bukan sahaja bertujuan untuk ice breaking tetapi yang lebih penting ialah untuk kita mengenali peribadi beliau supaya ia dapat membantu kita untuk menzahirkan kecantikan asli subjek berkenaan. Foto yang cantik dihasilkan apabila subjek tersebut mengukir senyuman bukannya kepada kamera yang tidak bernyawa tetapi kepada jurugambarnya. Raut muka dapat dirakam dengan lebih neutral dan ikhlas, satu perkara yang sukar dicapai apabila bekerja dengan orang yang tidak dikenali....

::Wasilah menghampirkan diri kepada Allah SWT dan mencapai cinta-Nya::
Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a katanya : Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda yang maksudnya: “Sesungguhnya Allah SWT telah berfirman: “Sesiapa yang memusuhi wali-wali-Ku sesungguhnya Aku mengisytiharkan perang ke atasnya. Dan tidaklah seseorang hamba itu menghampirkan diri kepada-Ku dengan sesuatu yang lebih Ku cintai melainkan dengan apa yang telah Aku fardhukan ke atasnya, berterusanlah hamba-Ku mendekatkan dirinya kepada mu dengan mengerjakan (amalan-amalan) nawafil hinggalah Aku mencintainya. Apabila Aku mencintainya Aku akan menjadi pendengarannya yang dengannya ia mendengar, Aku adalah penglihatannya yang dengannya ia melihat dan tangannya yang dengannya ia memegang dan kakinya yang dengannya ia berjalan. Dan jika ia meminta dari-Ku, Aku akan mengurniakannya dan jika ia memohon perlindungan dengan-Ku, Aku akan melindunginya”.
(Al-Bukhari)
Huraian:
Wali adalah hamba-hamba Allah yang ikhlas dalam melaksanakan perintah Allah SWT semata-mata kerana Allah SWT. Ini tersebut dalam firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud: “Ingatlah sesungguhnya wali-wali Allah itu tidak ada kekhuatiran terhadap mereka dan tidak pula mereka bersedih hati. Iaitu orang-orang yang beriman dan mereka selalu bertaqwa. Bagi mereka berita gembira di dalam kehidupan di dunia dan dalam kehidupan di akhirat. Tidak ada perubahan bagi kalimah-kalimah (janji-janji) Allah. Yang demikian itu adalah kemenangan yang besar.” (Yunus: 62-64)
Apabila hati penuh dengan kebesaran Allah SWT maka dihapuskan apa yang selain darinya. Dia tidak akan berbicara melainkan dengan zikir kepada Allah, tidak mendengar melainkan tentang Allah SWT, tidak melihat melainkan tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah SWT.
Setiap orang yang menyakiti wali Allah, contohnya seorang yang fasik memusuhi wali disebabkan sentiasa menegahnya daripada melakukan kejahatan dan maksiat, maka Allah SWT akan memusuhinya. Ini disebabkan seorang wali merupakan mereka yang benar-benar mencintai Allah dan sentiasa menghampirkan diri pada-Nya maka sebagai balasannya Allah akan memeliharanya dan mengawasinya daripada segala ancaman yang tidak baik kerana ia seolah-olah telah menyakiti Allah juga.
Amalan-amalan yang paling dicintai oleh Allah SWT ialah mengerjakan perintah-perintahnya dan menjauhi larangannya serta banyak mengerjakan amalan-amalan sunat dan kebajikan. Antara doa yang selalu dibaca oleh untuk menjadikan diri kita dekat kepada Allah ialah sebagaimana doa Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud:” Ya Allah, jadikanlah cahaya di dalam hati ku, cahaya di dalam penglihatan ku dan cahaya di dalam pendengaran ku.” Sesungguhnya doa seorang wali adalah mustajab.
Golongan wali-wali yang paling utama di sisi Allah SWT ialah para Nabi dan Rasul yang maksum disusuli pula oleh para sahabat dan mereka yang datang selepasnya.

Daripada Abu Ruqaiyyah Tamim ibn Aus al-Daarie r.a. bahawa Nabi SAW telah bersabda: “Agama itu adalah nasihat.” Kami berkata: “Untuk siapa?” Baginda bersabda: “Untuk Allah, untuk kitabNya, untuk RasulNya, untuk para lmam kaum muslimin dan untuk umat lslam seluruhnya.”
Hadis riwayat al-lmam Muslim.
Pengertian nasihat
Agama Islam adalah agama Allah, dan agama menurut Rasulullah SAW adalah nasihat yang terbaik untuk umatnya. Dalam Bahasa Arab, nasihat membawa maksud yang dinasihati akan mendapat faedah daripada nasihat yang telah diberi. Ia juga membawa erti bahawa yang menasihati hendaklah menggunakan perkataan yang terbaik dan ikhlas bersih dari maksud yang tidak baik.
Adab-adab memberi nasihat
1. Meluruskan niat sebelum menasihati seseorang supaya tidak ada yang berasa disakiti. Ikhlas menasihati saudara semuslim semata-mata karena Allah. Seharusnya seorang yang ingin memberikan nasihat itu perlulah bersih dari segala bentuk niat yang terpesong kerana ia akan memberi kesan ke atas nasihat yang ingin diberikan. Janganlah menasihati seseorang itu kerana ingin menunjukkan kitalah orang yang benar, tetapi tegurlah kerana ingin mengajak sahabat ke jalan yang benar.
2. Menjaga ukhuwah semasa menasihati. Diusahakan supaya menasihati saudaranya dengan tidak diketahui orang lain. Sebahagian ulama berkata, “Barangsiapa yang menasihati seseorang dan hanya ada mereka berdua, maka itulah nasihat yang sebenarnya. Barangsiapa yang menasihati saudaranya di depan banyak orang, maka yang demikian itu mencela dan mencelakan orang yang dinasihati.” Islam mengajar umatnya supaya mempunyai akhlak yang tinggi. Dalam hal menasihati juga terdapat perkara ini. Ini menunjukkan bahawa Islam amat menjaga hati dan maruah orang yang dinasihati supaya tidak berlaku perpecahan kerana perkara nasihat.
3. Bersih hati semasa menasihati. Menggunakan bahasa yang halus dan menegur hanya untuk perkara-perkara yang salah. Kadang-kadang kita sering menggunakan perkataan yang sangat teruk untuk meluahkan nasihat kita. Dalam ceramah-ceramah dan kuliah-kuliah yang berbentuk menasihati, kita lebih gemar menyatakan salah orang lain seolah-olah mereka yang melakukan perkara tersebut sangat jahat dan sudah tiada ruang untuk bertaubat. Seharusnya selaku seorang pendakwah, nasihat adalah senjata utama yang perlu digunakan sebaiknya.
4. Memikirkan cara yang terbaik untuk menasihati saudara. Seboleh-bolehnya mengenali dulu saudara yang bakal kita nasihati itu. Nasihatilah mereka dengan kasih sayang dan jadilah sebahagian dari mereka, kerana dari situ kita akan tahu apa puncanya mereka begitu.
5. Memberi waktu dan kesempatan kepada saudara yang dinasihati untuk mengubah sifat buruk/ kesalahan yang dilakukannya. Manusia perlukan masa untuk berubah, jangan memaksa mereka untuk berubah mendadak, ia bukan dalam lingkungan tugas seorang pendakwah. Dalam berdakwah perlu akan sifat sabar dan berserah kepada Allah. Jadilah orang yang sentiasa mengharap pertolongan Allah dan jangan mudah putus asa di atas nasihat yang diberikan kerana itu mungkin ujian yang telah ditentukan oleh Allah untuk menguji kesabaran.
Ayuh semua sahabatku, kita renungkan kembali perkara yang telah kita lakukan selama ini, nasihat yang telah kita berikan kepada orang lain atau nasihat yang diperolehi daripada orang lain, adakah kita sudah melaksanakan amanah ini? Jangan jadi golongan yang hanya tahu menasihati sedangkan mereka tidak sedia untuk dinasihati.

ALLAH pasti membalasnye..
