Every single cent counts
Assalamualaikum. Pernah tak kawan2 menerima baki wang yang terlebih bayar dari juruwang? Apa tindakan kawan2? Adakah kawan2 memulangkan wang baki terlebih itu atau pun kawan2 cuma berlalu pergi begitu sahaja? Kisah di bawah ini boleh dijadikan panduan apabila kita berhadapan dengan sutuasi sedemikian. Mohon baca sehingga habis. Terima kasih.
Several years ago, a Sheikh from out-of-town accepted a call to a town to propagate Islam. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride a bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him 50 pence above his normal change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd better give this money back. It would be wrong to keep it." Then another thought occured to him, "Oh, forget it, it's only 50p..who would worry about this little amount?"
Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from Allah' and keep quiet.
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the 50p to the driver and said, "Here, you gave me too much change." The driver, with a smile, replied, "Aren't you the new Sheikh in town?"
"Yes" he replied."
"Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about accepting Islam. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at mosque this Friday". When the Sheikh stepped off the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, "Oh Allah, I almost sold Islam for 50 pence. Our lives are guided by Quran. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Muslims, and will put us to the test!. Always be on guard and remember -- You carry the name of Islam on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Muslims.'
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions; Watch your actions; they become habits; Watch your habits; they become character; Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder and I chose to share it with you. If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen to u; but, if you do, you would have reminded someone today of his/her responsibility as a Muslim and Allah will bless you.
Abe Kie wishes you the very best in life.

ReplyDeleteSubhanallah... jujur dan amanah adalah sifat Baginda Rasulullah SAW, suatu tuntutan sebagai orang Islam... Untuk ambil mudah dua akhlak ini maka bukankah macam tak beriman berseungguh-sungguh kepada nabi SAW? hmmm.. tu jer lah yang saya rasa.... mohon belas kesian dari Allah swt atas setiap keterlanjuran dan kejahilan... Wallahualam...
alhamdullilah... saya tak terkata bila baca nih... susah agaknya mulut saya nak sebut, saya seorang muslim kalau orang tanya kenapa saya kembalikan 50sen tu...

ReplyDeleteKadangkala...apa yang kita buat..menjadi persepsi orang (khususnya yang bukan Islam) tentang apa itu ajaran Islam..
ReplyDeleteSentiasa berlaku baik tak kira dimana saja.
ReplyDeleteWalaupun nilainya hanya sen jika disimpan apa yang bukan hak kita, ia akan menjadi liabiliti yang akan diaudit di akhirat kelak :)
