Experience


Assalamualaikum


"Oh you who believe! Alcohols, gambling, (dedication of) stones (berhala), (divination by) arrows (politic election) are abomination of Syaitan's handiwork. Stay away( from such abomination) that you may prosper. Syaitan's plan is to excite enmity and hatred between you with alcohol and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer. Will you not then abstain?"
Al-Maidah: Verse 90-91.

With the name of Allah, the most gracious, most merciful.

First and foremost, thanks to Allah for He had given us the best in our life. He had given us Islam until today and what He seeks for us is only doing what He told us to do and hinder from the handiwork of Syaitan. Alhamdulillah.

Experience is something almost everyone says, the best teacher. I agree. For the experience that teach you to open your eyes much wider, to think out of the box. We travel around the world in order to seek experience, but have we consider to think about bad moment that happens to us? When we accidentally kick a stone and injured ourselves, who do we blame? Ourselves or the stone? Why actually we are fated to kick the stone?

Some of us would say,
"Take that! God is paying cash! Straight back at ya! HAHAH"
Some of us would say,
"Hey, are you okay? Damn this stone. It should not be there."
Some of us would say,
"Innalillah,"" Hey, I am not dead because of this stone!" "You were in a misery, it is something we have to say,"

It all goes back to where is our Iman. Are we thinking out of the box? It depends on you. You have to decide it. You have to think about it.

Back to the main topic, about surah Al-Maidah verse 90 and 91. It clearly states that we cannot drink alcohol as it is forbidden to us. While Allah tell the Prophet about this verse, all the companions and most of the Muslim are drinking alcohol. In fact, they make it as a habit to drink alcohol during some occasions. Afterwards, they all stop drinking because Allah had told all of them not to drink alcohol.

Then, the Prophet Muhammad told everyone in his Hadith.

"Allah had forbid everyone from drinking alcohol. Any of you who still have an alcohol inside their houses, do not drink and do not sell it"
(Narated by Muslim)

As soon as the Prophet Muhammad told everyone about this verse, all of them decided to quit drinking the alcohol. One of the companions, Umar ibnu Al-Khattab said.

"For Allah! If a drop of this alcohol dropped on my hand, I will cut down this hand and make sure it is not a part of my body"
-Umar al-Khattab, 2nd Caliph of Islam-

That shows how obedient are they. How about us? Have we ever think about ourselves? Think about it.

For those Muslims who thinks that they still want to drink alcohol, do not do it. Allah had forbid us. Even the bible forbid their men from eating pork and drinking alcohol

"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven and be cloven footed, yet you chewed not the cud; he is unclean to you."
Of their flesh shall you not eat and their carcass shall you not touch, they are unclean to you"
Levictus 11:7-8

"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived is not wise."
Proverbs 20:1

It clearly state that even Christian can't enjoy pork and alcohol. It forbid their follower from having porks and alcohol. Think about it again.

Politics, election and etc etc. All of these is so popular over here, Malaysia. We never realize that actually, election is also something Allah prohibit us from doing. So what are the PAS, UMNO, PKR are doing? Most of the members are Muslim, still, they are fighting for powers. How can the Muslims once be together again and fight what is wrong? If we want glory, we have to be together, join our brothers, live in an Islam way. Be obedient to Allah.

Together we help each other in achieving greatness. Help Islam so that we can spread the words, Islam is not a terrorist, Islam is way of life.

Islam never thought us to kill people except the person saying bad things about Islam. Even so, Islam told us to tell them what is right. Islam told us to preach first, if and only if that person still won't change, then only we can do something else. Work together so that they can see that Muslims works together.

Even making sure that a country is safe, the Prophet told us to help each other, forget bout the religion, help each other in protecting our country. This is Islam.

For the Muslim brothers, do not fight with each other. The Prophet had said in his Hadith:

"It is shown to Allah, the deed among the angels(malaikat) in the day of Monday and Thursday. Then Allah gave them forgiveness to everyone that does not compare Allah to something else, except (those who Allah does not forgive) someone who have hatred in his heart to his other brother (muslim) and in that brother also have hatred in his heart. So Allah said, 'Leave them both, don't abolish their sins until they are being friends again (no more hatred among each other).
-Narated by; Muslim by Abu Hurairah-

Allah had already forbid us from fighting with each other, but why are we still arguing about power. What we must do now is lend a helping hand among Muslim and Allah will surely help all Muslims.

P/S: This post is not meant to hurt anybody. This post is for the Muslims. Telling all Muslims to get back in the right track.

That is all from me. May Allah bless all of you. ;)
