Selamat menyambut Maulidur Rasul

Maulidur Rasul yang jatuh pada pada hari Khamis 12 Rabiul Awal Tahun Gajah bersamaan dengan 23 April 571 merupakan hari keputeraan Nabi Muhammad s.a.w (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Baginda adalah nabi terakhir yang diutus oleh Allah Subhanahu Wataala.

Setiap tahun pada hari itu, umat Islam di seluruh dunia akan mengadakan majlis memperingati keputeraan Nabi Muhammad s.a.w dengan mengadakan beberapa acara seperti perarakan, ceramah dan sebagainya. Banyak kelebihan dan keistimewaan yang akan dikurniakan oleh Allah Subhanahu Wataala kepada mereka yang dapat mengadakan atau menghadiri majlis Maulidur Rasul.

Kita dapat lihat betapa besarnya kelebihan orang yang memuliakan majlis keputeraan Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, kerana bila berniat sahaja hendak mengadakan Maulud Nabi, sudah pun dikira mendapat pahala dan dimuliakan. Sememangnya bernazar untuk melakukan sesuatu yang baik merupakan doa dan dikira amal salih.

Jelas kepada kita bahawa pembalasan Allah Subhanahu Wataala terhadap kebaikan begitu cepat sehinggakan terdetik sahaja di hati hendak berbuat kebaikan, sudah Allah Subhanahu Wataala akan memberi pembalasan yang tiada ternilai. Seseorang yang beriman, kuat bersandar kepada Allah, ketika di dalam kesusahan dia tetap tenang dan hatinya hanya mengadu kepada Allah dan mengharapkan pertolongan dan kasih sayang Allah Subhanahu Wataala.

Keberkatan mengadakan Majlis Maulud itu bukan sahaja didapati oleh orang yang mengadakan majlis itu, tetapi seluruh ahli rumah atau orang yang tinggal di tempat itu turut mendapat keberkatannya.

Selawat ke atas nabi,

Selamat Menyambut Maulidur Rasul.

Mengingati Allah sentiasa

This is a beautiful story. May our hearts open by it.

An old man lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern
Kentucky with his young grandson.

Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the
kitchen table reading his Qur'an.

His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to
imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, 'Grandpa! I try to read
the Qur'an just like you but I don't understand it,
and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close
the book.

What good does reading the Qur'an do?'

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in
the stove and replied, 'Take this coal basket down to
the river and bring me back a basket of water.'

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked
out before he got back to the house.

The grandfather laughed and said, 'You'll have to move
a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the
river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was
empty before he returned home.

Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was
impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to
get a bucket instead.

The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of water; I
want a basket of water.

You're just not trying hard enough,' and he went out
the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he
wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as
fast as he could, the water would Leak out before he
got back to the house.

The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran
hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket
was again empty.

Out of breath, he said, 'See Grandpa, it's useless!'
'So you think it is useless?' The old man said, 'Look
at the basket.'

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time
realized that the basket was different.

It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket
and was now clean, inside and out.

'Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an.
You might not understand or remember everything, but
when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out.

That is the work of Allah in our lives.'

Gratitude and Giving Will Lead to Your Success

Gratitude and Giving Will Lead to Your Success By David J. Pollay

Think of some of your life’s achievements. It’s okay. No one’s watching. Go ahead. What accomplishments make you proud of yourself?

Now think about how many of these life accomplishments did you achieve completely on your own? Let me answer that question for you. The answer is, “none.” Our successes always come with help.

The real question is, “Can you name the people who were a part of each of your successes?” Who are they and what did they do? Write down their names. Think about these people.

Now, I’ll bet you’re feeling a bit or even a burst of gratitude. You have just reminded yourself how important others have been to you in your life. You have not traveled alone.

Most of us feel some amount of stress when we think about what it will take to achieve our dreams. We think, “How in the world are we going to get from here to where we hope to be?” Luckily, the answer is, “not alone.” Other people will help us.

So what’s the best way to achieve your life goals? Here’s the first answer. Look to the people who have already helped you. Thank each one personally and privately. Tell them why they are important to you and how they helped you succeed in the past. Let these people know how valuable they are to you. If you feel that you’ve thanked someone before, consider doing it again in an even more meaningful way. Keep these people in your corner. University of Michigan psychologist Christopher Peterson wrote in his book, A Primer in Positive Psychology, “In our experience with many dozens of gratitude letters…they ‘work’ 100% of the time in the sense that the recipient is moved, often to tears, and the sender is gratified as well.”

Gratitude researcher Robert Emmons recently reviewed the growing evidence that feelings of gratitude improve the quality of our lives. In one study he found that people who “wrote up to five things for which they were grateful or thankful” on a weekly basis “exercised more regularly, reported fewer physical symptoms, felt better about their lives as a whole, and were more optimistic about the upcoming week.” Positive Psychology co-founder Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania, and his colleagues also discovered that when people took a few minutes each evening to write down “three good things” that happened to them during the day, their happiness increased and their depressive symptoms decreased.

Emmons found in another study that people who feel gratitude are more likely to help others. Emmons wrote, “Gratitude leads not only to feeling good, but also to doing good.”

So what’s the best way to achieve your life goals? Here’s the second answer. Think about who else could help you. Through a lens of gratitude, think about how you could repay them in advance for their support. What could you do for them now? How could you help them in some way? Your commitment to helping them will demonstrate two things: You care about what they care about, and you appreciate the role they could play in your life.

You will stand out as a giver, and leave the takers of the world standing in line. Your new contacts will be grateful to you. And we know what happens when people feel gratitude.

Gratitude and giving will lead to your success.

Ambil Iktibar. Salam Kejayaan.
