mungkin lebih baik begini..

kerana beda antara kau dan aku sering jadi sengketa
kerana kehormatan diri sering kita tinggikan di atas kebenaran
kerana satu kesalahanmu padaku seolah menghapus
sejuta kebaikan yang lalu
wasiat sang nabi rasanya berat sekali:
`jadilah hamba hamba Allah yang bersaudara`


mungkin lebih baik kita berpisah sementara,sejenak saja
menjadi kepompong dan menyendiri
berdiri malam malam,bersujud dalam dalam
bertafakkur bersama iman yang menerangi hati
hingga tiba waktunya menjadi kupu kupu yg terbang menari
melantun kebaikan di antara bunga,menebar keindahan pada dunia

lalu dengan rindu kita kembali ke dalam dekapan ukhwah
mengambil cinta dari langit dan menbarkannya di bumi
dengan persaudaraan suci,sebening prasangka,selembut nurani
sehangat semngat,senikmat berbagi,dan sekokoh janji

-salim A. Fillah from the book of `Dalam dakapan ukhuwah`-

How u treat the poor men?

As for the Prophet, his kindness extended to both rich and poor alike.

Anas – may Allah be pleased with him – said, “There was a man from amongst the Bedouins whose name was Zahir bin Haram. Whenever he came to Madinah for a need, he brought something for the Prophet as a gift, like cottage cheese or butter. Likewise, the Prophet would prepare some- thing to give to him whenever he wanted to leave, such as dates and so on. The Prophet used to love him and say: “Zahir is our Bedouin and we are his city-dwellers.” Zahir was not very good looking. One day, Zahir – may Allah be pleased with him – left the desert and came to Allah’s Messenger but did not find him. He had some merchandise to sell so he went on to the marketplace.



When the Prophet found out about his arrival, he went to the marketplace looking for him. When he arrived, he saw him 53 selling his merchandise with sweat pouring down from his face, and he wore Bedouin clothes which did not smell good either. The Prophet hugged him tightly from behind, while Zahir was unaware and could not see who it was.


Zahir became scared and said: “Let me go! Who is this?” But the Prophet remained silent. Zahir tried to release himself from his grip and started to look right and left. When he saw the Prophet he relaxed and calmed down, placing his back against the Prophet’s chest. The Prophet began to joke with him, saying to the public: “Who will buy this slave?! Who will buy this slave?!”


Thereupon, Zahir looked at himself and thought of his ex- treme poverty, for he had neither wealth nor good looks. He said: “You will find me unmarketable, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said: “But you are not unmarketable with Al- lah. You are very precious to Allah.” It was no surprise then that the hearts of the poor were at- tached to the Prophet. He would gain their respect and love by such an attitude. Many poor people may not accuse the rich of miserliness in terms of wealth and food, but they can cer- tainly accuse them of miserliness in terms of gracious and kind treatment. How often do you smile at a poor person and make him feel he is worthy and respectable, so that perhaps at night he might supplicate for you and cause Allah’s mercy to descend upon you from the heavens?

Perhaps just a smile to a poor men would raise u in trank in the sight of ALLAH?
