hurm.. what's up with the title? well, feel free to read till the end. ^_^
read a section in a book today.
by Dr. Mustafa as-Syibaie.
it talks about a war in islam.
ghuzwah hunain.
in this war, from my reading i think there are a bunch of lessons that we can grab from it. two of them [which really really knock my heart+head HARD, hard enough to wake me up and tell me that] life is not about quitting and it is not wrong to be a hypocrite at the beginning of something].
there were a lot of ghanimah [valuable stuffs left by the musyrikin at the war field, after they ran away!!!] collected by the muslims soilders. if i'm not mistaken they were 6000 slaves and women, uncountable groups of camels and goats. a large portion of it was presented to the leaders of arab and also the quraish.
the thing that i want to emphasise here is about the leaders of arab. for you information, ghuzwah hunain took place after the fathul mekah [opening of the city of mekah]. thus, the leaders of arab [who haven't convert to islam YET] might hold a grudge towards the muslims. hence, Prophet Muhammad pbuh decided to give them those valuable ghanimah in order to attract them towards islam. yeah, it might sound that they love islam because of wealth. but, the reason why Rasulullah pbuh did that was to erase all of their hatred towards islam dan towards dakwah and for them to see islam in a different perspectives. realise that with those givings, their existance in city of mekah was cherished instead of they being negleted or killed by the muslims. hence, their anger and hatred towards islam faded away due to Muhammad's brilliant idea.
it is known that those arabic leaders who had converted to islam, they fought for islam whole-heartedly. they were in the first row in battle. they had done a lot in spreading islam to peninsula of arab.
even though, at the beginning of their faith, they were attracted to islam because of presents, lots and lots of valuable presents, they were called mujahid. this is because along their way to fight for islam, they learned that islam is the best and islam is the only right religion for them. furthermore, they managed to feel the 'ikhlas' even though initially they were not.
Al-Hassan rahimahumullah once said,
well, for me, even though we feel nothing when we walk along 'this path', don't ever quit.
even though we didn't felt the same as what others felt, don't ever stop searching.
because Allah did not see the outcomes, but He sees our efforts. He knows the best regarding where and when that are suitable enough for us to have the feeling of 'ikhlas'.
besides, it is not a crime to be a hypocrite at the beginning of something good. it is our fitrah right? attracted to eveything that is good. but, biasalah... ego! brothers and sisters, learn to let go your ego. it is nothing. it is devastating your , our... iman. even though at first we try to do something that is right, that is good, but we felt like... 'argh!! this is so not me!", just don't stop. He will granted us the feeling of 'ikhlas' if we really really want it. just like those leaders of arab.
