Did You Thank Allah for Your Eyesight?

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? "It is He, Who has created for you (the sense of) hearing (ears), sight (eyes), and hearts (understanding). Little thanks you give." [surah Al-Mu'minun; 78]

78. Dan Dialah yang telah menciptakan bagi kamu sekalian, pendengaran, penglihatan dan hati. Amat sedikitlah kamu bersyukur.

78. and it was he who created for you all, hearing, vision, and heart. Very little you are grateful.

Hadits

"Allow women to go to the mosques at night."

Reporter: Ibn Umar (r)

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 2, #22

Note: There is no gender inequality before God. Muslims have developed grossly distorted cultures where Muslim women's rights are easily disregarded, or worse, encroached upon. The trace of such tendencies existed even during the liberated post-Jahiliyah society under the leadership of Muhammad (s). Painstakingly, but consistently, the noble Messenger of God addressed these issues that ought not leave any lingering doubt in our minds about the importance of his message and guidance. When during his own times, some people discouraged or even hindered women from visiting mosques, he instructed Muslims to allow women to visit mosques even at night. Indeed, we need to facilitate their participation in the mosque-oriented social and cultural life of Islam. Prophetic narration such as this should motivate us to study the overall issue of gender in contemporary context with seriousness, openmindedness, and commitment to put Qur'anic perspective and Prophetic heritage above our received culture.

"To spend one morning or evening in the cause of God is better than the world and whatever is in the world."

Reporter: Hadhrat Anas bin Malik

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, #50

Note: Success in any human endeavor critically depends on a well-defined set of priorities in one's life. For Muslims, the life is an integrated whole. The entire life is to be devoted to God, the Rabb, by moulding one's life completely according to the Islamic codes of life. In pursuing the eternal Home of Peace (dar as-Salam) and happiness, a Muslim has to live a normal and full human life within the parameters of this worldly reality. This temporal reality offers us many alternatives to covet and pursue. However, even if one aspires the "world and whatever is in it," one needs to understand that devoting even a part of one's life, morning or evening, is better than that. God has given us a well-delineated, yet broad spectrum of things in life to cherish and accomplish individually as well as collectively. Whether it is to better oneself or the society, it is imperative that we allocate our time, energy, and resources effectively.[4]

The story of prophet Ibrahim (Qurban)

One night Ibrahim had a bad dream. He dreamt Allah told him to sacrifice Ismail. Ibrahim thought it was shaytan playing nasty tricks on him.

next night Ibrahim had the same horrid dream. Ibrahim knew that Allah would only ask him to do such a thing if he had good reason. Even though he loved his son dearly, he was prepared to do this difficult thing for Allah.

Ibraim told Ismail they had to go to Mount Arafat. He took a knife and a rope with him. On the way they passed a place called Mina. The devil, Shaytan, came to Ibrahim and tried to talk him out of sacrificing his son.

Ibrahim turned his back on him and would not listen. When they reached Mount Arafat, Ibrahim told Ismail what Allah wanted him to do. Ismail listened and accepted what was to happen. He was an exceptional child. He too was a great prophet.

Ismail told his father to tie his hands and legs and blindfold himself so he would not struggle and make his father even more upset than he was going to be and Ibrahim was blindfolded so he would not see his son suffer.

Ibrahim did as Ismail had said. He then took the knife and did what Allah had told him to do. When he took the blindfold from his eyes he looked down, not at his son but at a dead ram. Ismail was at his side.

Ibrahim was afraid. He thought he had disobeyed but then he heard a voice telling him not to worry. Allah looks after his followers. Ibrahim and Ismail had passed a difficult test. Each year, during the month of Dhul Hijjah, many Muslims, from all over the world, travel to Makkah. They want to remember what Ibrahim and Ismail did. In the month of Dhul Hijjah these pilgrims go to Makkah, Mina and Arafat.

They visit places where Ibrahim and Ismail lived and preached. They give a sacrifice just as Allah commanded Ibrahim to do. The pilgrims sacrifice animals in memory of the deed. We must obey Allah's commands as Ibrahim and Ismail did. We obey by doing the things we know are right, praying, obeying our parents and always telling the truth.[5]

CULTURE CORNER

The Minangkabau brought along with them a rich cultural heritage which is still preserved and practised today as the fascinating ‘Adat Pepatih’, a matrilineal system of inheritance and administration that is unique to the State. A maritrilineal system is one where the wife is the head of the household and inheritance passes from the mother to the daughter. The Minangkabaus are divided into twelve suku or clans, and marriage between between members of the same clan is forbidden. The Minangkabau influence in the state can be found in dances and food as well.
