Consolidate your step


Makes me wonder when i was watching a glimpse at ‘Café Akhil Hay’ program dis morning. Its a program f reBrain washing of our youth today towards the ‘better good’ (a phrase in Harry Potter). Alhamdulillah, there are a lot of mujadids spreading today. Taking the call of Dakwah and Tarbiyyah. Like ‘Café Akhil Hay’ for an example..its a step I say. But I’ve been observing throughout local preachers and my preach myself. Somehow theres something mistakened that we’ve’NT been eying.

As I read in the ‘Fiqh alAwlawiyyat’, Dr Yusuf AlQardawi has been explaining about the mistake of people that are more convinient to the deeds in zahiriyyah. How the call is more likely to be stressing people more to zahiriyyah such and somehow minimizing the stress of batiniyyah..in other words the heart. Our heart. I’m not blaming anyone yet I find it true.


Also I’ve observed that this is likely to happen because the lackening of knowledge towards deen itself and the lackening of improving our feel of the ruhiyyah of the deen..the spirit of serving yourself to Him..the modesty.. Easy declairing it the spirit of sufism in Islam. Sufi isn’t as you see someone living up the hill going on ibadah khusus for all his living. Sufi is something spiritual that spiritualizes your day that you feel so muraqabah inside. But this we shall gain if we enlarge our excitement of digging for the precious of our deen. Read books. Hear preaches. Gain knowledge and see the maw’izzah of His creation, His arrangements, His..everything. For me, theres no line between sufi and dakwah. Its related because Islam is syumul. When you feel Allah by heart you shall grab His call for dakwah and tarbiyyah. That’s the concept of spreading dakwah to our friends, coworkers, juniors, seniors, siblings, parents, old fokes, babies and everyone. Use this concept to preech people. When the heart is called for Allah, it will give one's life a better manner, a better hardwork, a better result. Consolidate your step. Call people by heart.


Its so obviuos that we don’t have the greatest skills. But remember this. If a medical student is pursuing knowledge in his field to become a doctor. He knows that he has to master the knowledge so far to become a doctor. He can’t stop in the middle of the journey and hopping in a hospital to treat patients in a cronic state. Or when he’s a doctor, he has to have medical supplies for his patients. If he’s out of medicine, how is he going to treat them?


We are the doctors of people’s heart. We have to crave for more and more knowledge to offer them the best treatment. Read books. Hear preaches. Be in your halaqoh (usrah). Hang out with soleh and elder people who are matured in deen. Work on tazkiyah annafs and muliyyatul ujub. Most important come back to Allah...the home for our heart.
