Revelation

I was in Wonderland. Then this was revealed to me. It answered my wondering thoughts of..had the Prophet ever encountered anger in his life? The excerpt was after the Battle of Uhud..

The Prophet now led his Companions down into the plain. Harith ibn as-Simmah had been sent on ahead to look for the body of Hamzah, but when he found him, he was so appalled at the sight and having to tell the Prophet that he did not at once return, and 'Ali was sent after him. He found Harith standing aghast by the mutilated body, and they both returned together.

When the Prophet saw what had been done he said:

"Never yet have I felt more anger than now I feel; and when next God giveth me a victory over Quraysh I will mutilate thirty of their dead."

But soon after this there came the Revelation:
"If ye inflict punishment, then inflict only so much as ye have suffered; but if ye endure patiently, that is better for the patient."

And not only did he not fulfill his threat, but he expressly forbade mutilation after every battle. Moreover, as regards the fighting itself, he told them to respect the human face as being the most godlike part of the body: "When one of you striketh a blow, let him avoid striking the face...for God created Adam in His image."

Ros.R snaps out from Wonderland

P.S...There is something else I believe..the incident above has nothing got to do about highlighting the imperfection of the character of a man whom Allah educates and protects. However the incident would be a cause for the Revelation which acts as guidance for his Ummah when we found ourselves to be in an alike state.

Acrostic Poem

This poem has been with me for near to 10 year. I have kept it well.
You may not be reading this. Nevertheless, thank you for writing it for me..

Rezeki adalah harapan tiap insan

Onak dan ranjau sekadar dugaan

Setiap ada kemahuan di situ ada jalan

Liku-liku kehidupan tetap diteruskan

Iman yang teguh menjadi pegangan

Nafsu dan riak wajib dilepaskan

Azam dan doa itulah harap

Mawardewi in poetry

Sincerity

It all started when one of the babies commented eagerly that she was demanding Babies' Day present from me in return for the present she had gotten for me. The rest of the babies supported her with cheers and nods.

Thats when I had the urge to introduce the learning point on Sincerity to the babies. I told them that Sincerity in giving was when one gave, he did not expect to receive anything in return. He gave right from his heart. I could see the disappointed look in their eyes cause they certainly love accepting presents. But its something they need to know.

The topic on Sincerity brought me thinking about being a gracious society. Its my ideal dream for the babies whom have gone through my hands would carry some kind of graciousness in them. Sad but its true, 'Gracious' is a lonely word. For kids, they have to be introduced to the idea hoping in time to come, being gracious will be a part of them. Sadly down here, the need to be a gracious society in the adults have to come in as reminders.

There is something in common about sincerity and graciousness, both have to come truly from the heart. On a personal basis, sometimes we would feel unfairly treated if kind acts shown were not responded by kindness. Or in time when love given was not responded by love, it could lead to frustrations and disappointment. Then again I reflect...was whats given, may it be objects, kind acts or love...were they really given out of sincerity?

I have come to conclude that I am not fit to judge. Its between they and Him. I am always thankful to know that there is/was the light of Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim shed in the heart of others for me.

Its the same light which I am yearning for from Him throughout my life and in the lives of my love ones..may it be here or there after.

Kata Mawar Diskriminasi Idea, Kata Suluk Persekutuan Kepercayaan

Here is something I wrote years back about misunderstanding when the mind is flushed with discrimination. Suluk translated it in his own word for a deeper reflection. I didn't get the chance to ask for Suluk's permission to place his words here cause he seems to be out of reached now. Nevertheless, I hope he would give his consent.

DISKRIMINASI IDEA
PERSEKUTUAN KEPERCAYAAN
Kata Mawardewi;

Salah anggap
Salah langkah
Diskriminasi idea
Mengkaburi perkara yang nyata

Kata Suluk

Keliru
Tertambat
Persekutuan kepercayaan(Syirik)
Menghijabkan perkara yang Haq

Kata Mawardewi;

Fahami dengan teliti
Sebelum tersalah panah lagi
Selami sedalam yang mungkin
Sebelum memalukan dirimu sendiri

Kata Suluk

Syuhudkan pada Wahdah
Sebelum tersalah arah pandangan
Selamilah di dalam laut Zauk dan Wujdan
Sebelum mengatakan sesuatu yang tidak Haq

Kata Mawardewi;

Jangan terburu-buru
Di dalam mengemukakan hujjahmu
Leraikan apa yang ada di minda
Hanya setelah engkau meneroka
Segala perkara dari setiap penjuru
Yang disuluh menggunakan mata hatimu

Kata Suluk

Jangan cepat melatah
Di dalam memaksudkan kebenaran
Susun aturkan cahaya makrifat yang berlapis-lapis itu
Hanya setelah tebaran cahayanya genap melingkupi alam
Segala sesuatu dari setiap sudut tempat tegak
Yang disimbah menggunakan Ladunimu

Kata Mawardewi;

Mempelajari dari pengalaman silam,
Dapat meraih manfaat pada diri
Tapi jangan diambil dari yang silam
Untuk diukir tanggapan tidak berganjak
Diaggungkan pula dalam minda yang tidak terasah

Kataku

Berikitbar dari Alastubirabbikum........
Dapat mengembalikan keistimewaan diri
Tapi jangan diambil dari A'yan Sabitah
Untuk menzhohirkan fahaman yang jumud
Diagungkan pula i'tiqad yang tumpul berkarat

Kata Mawardewi;

Jika itu yang diperlakukan
Di dalam kotak akalmu
Terukirlah ia sebagai diskriminasi idea
Yang akan semangkin menumpulkan akal fikiran
Membawa padah dengan menutupi
Setiap ruang harapan yang ada.

Kata Suluk

Jika itu dipegangi
Di dalam fikiranmu yang terbatas
Zhohirlah ia sebagai persekutuan kepercayaan(Syirik)
Yang akan menumpulkan pandangan Ainul Basyirah
Membinasakan diri dengan menutupi
Mahiyah yang sabit

Kata Mawardewi;

Di depan cermin engkau berdiri,
Perlihatkan kepadaku
Mindamu tidak kesempitan
Kemaskan segala pendapatmu
Hindarkan terdengarnya ketawa sinis
Dari mereka yang hanya menunggu kesempatan
Untuk menikam kekurangan dirimu dari belakang

Kata Suluk

Di hadapan alam itu kesaksianmu
Nyatakan kepada dirimu
Ruhmu tidak di luar dan tidak di dalam
Sempurnakan Haq Musyahadahmu
Hindarkan tawa hilau yang membujuk
Dari syaitan dan iblis laknatullah
Untuk menyesatkanmu dari memandang zhohirnya sesuatu
