Just my two cent.بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
"Indeed Allah would never change a people's state of favour until they change their own state of faith. And if it is Allah's will to torment a people, it can never be averted nor can they find a protector other than Him." [Ar-Ra'd:11]
Ayat ni secara terjemahan yang senang untuk kita faham adalah, Allah takkan ubah nasib sesebuah kaum itu, melainkan mereka sendiri berusaha untuk mengubahnya. Seperti kita sebagai manusia, kalau kita sendiri tak ada usaha untuk berubah, Allah takkan ubah untuk kita.
Sejak akhir-akhir ini, isu ni kerap kali aku dengar dan sesungguhnya, aku rasa nak meluah apa yang ada dalam kepala ni. My mind keeps on thinking about this and I need to pour it somewhere and here it is.
"Perkahwinan itu satu perjudian"
Long, long ago, I really used to hear about this statement and I even used to ask my Ibu about this. Did she really think this way when she got married to Ayah ? Did she ever think like that ? And after a long, long time living, seeing and reading all those stuff that related to marriage, I can say that, those statement only valid for those who don't really prepared for marriage i.e those who in a arranged marriage. Like you just get married to who ever person that you never met and just follow what your parents said.
This is how I related to what Allah said, if you wish to change, then change first, i.e make the move first. make plans, and work for it. Don't just wait and hoping that one day you will, in a blink of eyes, change for good. Islam is not a magic deen. You can't just change by waiting. Come on, even if you want to eat, you need to feed yourself using your own hand. No one will feed you.
Same with the concept of tawakkal means that you put trust in Allah on whatever your plans are. Like this story of sahabat, which I believed most of the people used to hear about this.
One of the sahabat, came to meet Rasulullah while bringing his camel, and he asked Rasulullah, whether he need to just let the camel without tied it to the tree or tied it first? Then Rasullulah reply, tied it first then tawakkal to Allah.
Here is it. The concept of tawakkal itself is not you are letting everything to Allah, without doing anything. Tawakkal is something that you put trust to Allah, while you work hard for it. Same goes when you plan on finding someone to be your partner i.e husband or wife. Make some effort like have some criteria on that person, make istikharah and istisyarah and you can do some background check on that person. This can be one of the hard work that you can do while having trust on Allah to guide you to the right part.
So, then if you are married to that person, you are prepared for all the things that you already know. and the rest, leave it to Allah.
Trust Allah as He is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim. Trust Him as He is The Most Knowing so that you will eventually feel at ease no matter what comes after.
So, I rest my case.
and , might be late, but never too late.
Ramadan Kareem everyone :)
