Jangan memperkecilkan ketaatan yang sedikit kerana konsistennya memberi kesan kebaikan, dan jangan meremehkan dosa yang sedikit, kerana berterusannya memberi kesan sangat buruk.
– Imam Ibn Qudamah Al-Maqdisi. (via diampuasamasjid) Via Monologues of A Sinner ♥
A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty is was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now even though they said …they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bully’s another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Pass it on.

A young man came to a Sheikh and said : “I am a young man with strong desires. I cannot help looking at people when I am in the bazaar (market). What do I do?”The Sheikh handed him A CUP OF MILK THAT WAS FULL TO THE BRIM, and told him to deliver it to an address that would take the young man directly through the bazaar. He then instructed the young man that the milk should not spill, and the young man said that it would not. The Sheikh then summoned one of his students and told him to accompany the man through the bazaar to the destination, and to severely beat him if any milk were to spill.The young man successfully took the milk to the destination and returned to give the good news to the Sheikh. The Sheikh asked, “Tell me, how many sights and faces did you see in the bazaar?”The young man replied incredulously : “Sheikh, I didn’t even realize what wasgoing on around me. I was only fearful of the beating and disgrace that I would have to endure in public if a drop of milk were to spill.” The Sheikh smiled and said : “It is the same with a believer. The believer fears that his sins will be a cause of great disgrace for him in front of Allah on the Day of Judgment if his faith were to spill over from his heart.” Such people save themselves from sin because they constantly remain focused on the Day of Judgement !May Allah swt make us among al-muttaqun [ the pious ] ameen !](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzsdxytGSv1rpi24po1_500.jpg)

Hadith from Purity Starts Here (24:26) on Facebook
Imam Ahmad was the most famous man in the Muslim world both before and after the fitanh during his lifetime. Imam ad-Dhahabi even said that he had the largest Janazah that took place in that era. In just one day, 1.3 million people came to pray Janazah on him. SubhanAllah. Just imagine how popular and beloved he was, rahimahullahu ta’ala. He would cover his face when travelling to seek knowledge so people wouldn’t notice him. Look at the humility.
One day, he was travelling to ash-Shaam and on the way, he stops by a Masjid to spend the night. The guard of the Masjid tells him,”You need to get out, the Masjid is closing”. “I have no where to go,” said Imam Ahmad. “Ukhruj.. get out,” said the guard.Now, he could have said, “Oh, by the way, I’m Imam Ahmad,” but he didn’t. Instead, he, rahimahullah, took his belongings and went to sleep on the steps of the Masjid. The guard came outside and told him to get off the steps and go somewhere else. Imam Ahmad didn’t know what to do.
This guard then picks up Imam Ahmad by his legs and drags him to the middle of the street and drops him.
So now Imam Ahmad is like.. “uhh.. Okay..”
A baker who owned a bakery across the street saw Imam Ahmad and said, “You can stay in my bakery tonight. I’ll be doing some work .. you can come sleep here”. So he opens the way for him.
Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) observes this man. He’s putting the dough together, putting it in the oven, and through every step of the process .. kneading, forming, baking, etc., the man is saying:
SubhanAllah, Alhumdulillah, La ilaha il Allah, Allahu Akbar …
SubhanAllah, Alhumdulillah, La ilaha il Allah, Allahu Akbar …
SubhanAllah, Alhumdulillah, La ilaha il Allah, Allahu Akbar …
The entire night, he is making tasbeeh of Allah subhanahu wata’ala.
Imam Ahmad then asks him, “How long have you been in this situation?” He says, “Which situation?” “Making tasbeeh of Allah,” he said.
“My whole life,” said the baker.
Imam Ahmad asks him a second question. “What have you seen from Allah as a result of all this tasbeeh that you make?”
Maa da’utullaha li shay, illa a’taani iyyaa … “I never made du’a to Allah for anything except that He answered it.”
Imam Ahmad sais, “SubhanAllah! You never made du’a to Allah for anything except that he gave it to you?!
And he repeated.. “I never made du’a to Allah for anything except that He gave it to me … except for one thing.”
Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) said, “And what is that?”
He said, “To have a chance to see Imam Ahmad”
Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) is brought to tears. He embraces this man and says:
“SubhanAllah. Qad jaa aka bi Ahmad. Yajurruhu bi rijlihi ila makhbazikh…” …“Here is Allah! He brought you Ahmad, dragging him by his feet to your bakery” ..”if it wasn’t for you, I could have slept in peace at the Masjid”.
SubhanAllah.
Sebenarnya kita bertuah.
Bertuah kerana Allah telah memilih kita bersama-sama mengharungi hidup ‘susah’ dahulu dengan ibubapa kita. Mungkin waktu itu adik-adik kita masih kecil dan tidak tahu apa-apa. Mereka terlepas saat-saat sukar yang mengikat hati, menambah sayang kita pada ibubapa kita. Kita menyaksikan ‘kesusahan’ mereka di depan mata kita, membuatkan kita nekad untuk memberi yang terbaik dalam hidup kita untuk mereka. Adik-adik merasai kemewahan hari ini tanpa melalui ‘kesusahan’ dahulu, itu rezeki mereka. Percayalah, rezeki kita tetap ada. Allah kan Maha Adil?Bertuah lagi sebab kita tidak menyusahkan ibubapa kita dengan meminta itu dan ini. Tidak memberatkan mereka dengan permintaan kita, walaupun ibubapa kita mampu. Kita anak-anak sulung yang baik, meringankan ibubapa kita. Nak meminta-minta tak sampai hati, kan? Mereka pun tak pening kepala nak penuhi permintaan kita. Bertuah kan kita?
Ada lagi bertuah? Bertuah lagi sebab ibubapa kita sebenarnya menganggap kita sudah pandai berdikari dan boleh menguruskan diri. Anak sulung hatinya kuat. Apa sahaja boleh dibuat. Sayang adik-adik, selalu mengalah. Sayang ibubapa, selalu menolong apa sahaja, sebab kita besar daripada adik-adik. Sebab itu ibubapa kita kurang memberi-beri pada kita, baik pada kasih sayang, mahupun material. Kita kan anak sulung yang hebat??
Buat anak-anak sulung yang memang Allah kasihi,
Sesungguhnya setiap manusia diuji dengan ujian yang berbeza. Bukan kita sahaja yang diuji sebegini, ramai lagi yang lebih hebat ujiannya. Ada mereka yang tidak pernah merasa kasih sayang ibubapa sejak lahir lagi. Cukuplah ibubapa kita telah berjaya membesarkan kita, merasa kasih sayang mereka sejak kita kecil. Ibubapa kita juga manusia, tidak terlepas daripada membuat kesilapan. Mana ada ibubapa yang bencikan anak, cuma kadang-kadang mereka terlepas pandang anak sulung mereka ini, atau mereka sedang berkecil hati dengan kita. Maafkanlah mereka, bersangka baik dan jangan berhenti membuat kebaikan kepada mereka. Jangan sesekali menghitung kebaikan kita kepada mereka. Jadilah anak sulung yang cekal, baikhati dan sentiasa berserah segalanya pada Allah. “Sayang ibu berkorban nyawa, sayang ayah berkorban jiwa”. Terus kuat ya anak-anak sulung!
;’( Terus kuat ya anak-anak sulung! anak2 sulung, kena kuat tau!
