I start to think again about people who I ever met. What appears is sometimes they seem in the same condition, in the same stage of thought. However, I guess their mind move on and never ever the same. What is in their mind this second might be different with that in the following seconds. Moreover how their feeling is. Feeling is so easy to change, except feeling controlled by the thought. As myself, I know they also wanna be happy people who get success in the whole of their life and in the next life. No body wants to get problems in his life. Any person hopes everything will be easy and go as what he wants. He wants to live in the world where there is no pain, sadness, or other things he doesn’t like. However in fact, life is so complex as what I have understood and experienced. That is why I can see so many scenes how people deal with this temporary world.
In life, people’s understanding about this life and their standard of life will influence what they do during their life. Their thought will affect their behavior and attitude in fulfilling what they need. As what I see, they fight day and night to fulfill what they need and what they think it’s good for them. It really gave me so many thoughts. From each person come into my life, each of them is unique. I always can learn something from them, in the way of their thinking and behavior. Sometimes I think what they do is wrong and I shouldn't take it. Other time what they do is really wonderful and it's right. How I can say that what they do is right or wrong? In some case indeed it's just my own judgment coz my limited knowledge or just because my own desire. I realize what I thought is not always right. I just wanna to learn from others, taking what is good and leaving what is bad, according to my understanding about what is good and bad in this life.
Alhamdulillah, I'm a muslim. In Islam there is a standard how to measure everything, it's right or wrong, bad or good, including how to see people or anything around me. Right or wrong, good or bad in Islam is seen by how Allah sees it. It's right or good if Allah says it's right or good, and forever it's always right or good, never changes. Wrong or bad is what Allah says it's wrong or bad, no matter people can figure out that it's wrong or not. By this guideline, I can control myself what I should take or leave from people around me. It's good when I can take what is right and good from them coz it will influence me to improve myself be better. insha'Allah...
Something that impressed me from people around me is the way of life believer muslims. They who truly apply Islam have unique personality and unique way of life. They have same thought to view everything in this life. This is because their standard in this life is Islamic rules, not their own thought or desire, not tradition or agreement around society. They also have same feeling and intention. As stated in the hadits "Believers are like a whole of body, when a part of the body sick, the others will feel sick too". Believer muslims will have same feeling to love or hate something because their desire is controlled by the same thoughts come from Allah. Rules applied in this life are also same because it comes from the same sources, Al Qur'an and as sunnah. All of these can be seen especially from muslims who lived in the moment of Rasulullah (pbuh) and his companions under Islamic state (Khilafah Islamiyah) which last for more than 13 centuries.
That is so ideal life when muslims really applied what Allah orders, as in the moments of Khilafah Islamiyah. However the scene like that is rarely found nowadays. Not all muslims really apply what comes from Islam. Their thoughts and the way of life have been influenced by thoughts from other ideologies like capitalism and socialism-komunism or any other thoughts destructing their Islamic thought. Some of them no longer have same thought about what is right or wrong, bad or good in this life. This is because they have left what is right from Islam. They don't hold tightly aqidah and ideology of Islam. That is why it leads them to the mixed standards taken to deal with life. Some take Islam rules in their religious life, like how they deal with Allah and themselves. However, to solve their problems of life and how to deal with this world, they take what comes from other ideologies or rules against Islamic rules. Moreover, at the moment there is no Islamic state which applies Islamic rules totally. Muslims are separated in so many countries. Muslims in some countries don't really care what happen with their brothers and sisters in other countries, even with people around them. They are so busy with their own life in reaching what they thought it's good for them. It's not a lot of people who care with problems around muslims and take a part in dakwah spreading the true comes from Islam. This is just one of sides of the condition of muslims after the destruction of Islamic State in Turkey 1924.
Well! It's so complicated when I think of about what is happening on muslims nowadays. Maybe in the next writing I'll try to write how condition of muslims nowadays according to my understanding about what is problem around muslims nowadays and how to solve it. I admit that I have limited knowledge about this matter. However, what have happened forced me to give more attention toward this condition, besides this is also a part of my problems as muslim. Each muslim has obligation to do amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, reminding others and himself what is right and forbidding from wrong. May Allah give me and other muslims strength to do that. ameen...
All of the true is from Allah while all of the wrong is from myself and to Allah I ask forgiveness.
