Seven Indicators of World Happiness
Seven Indicators of World Happiness
Ibn Abbas ra. is one of the companions of the Prophet SAW is very painstaking in maintaining and serving the Prophet Muhammad, which he had specifically prayed for the Prophet Muhammad, other than that at the age of 9 years Ibn Abbas had memorized the Quran and has been the imam at the mosque. One day he was asked by Tabi (the generation after the death of the Prophet Muhammad) about what is meant by happiness of the world. Ibn Abbas replied there are 7 (seven) world of happiness indicators, namely:
First, Qalbun syakirun or heart that is always grateful.
Having a soul means always gratefully accept what is (qona'ah), so there is no excessive ambition, no stress, it is delicious to the soul that is always grateful. A clever grateful extremely intelligent to understand the attributes of God Almighty, so that whatever God gives his gift and even enchanted with God's decision.
When you're trouble then he immediately recalled the words of the Prophet Muhammad:
"If we're hard to consider a person who is more difficult than we". When you're given the ease, he is grateful to reproduce deeds, then Allah will test it with greater ease. If she remains "stubbornly" to continue to be grateful that God will test it again with even greater ease.
So blessed are those who are good thanks!
Second. Al azwaju shalihah, namely a pious spouse.
A pious spouse will create an atmosphere of home and family too pious. In the Hereafter a husband (as the family priest) will be held accountable in getting his wife and son to kesholehan. Be happy being a wife if you have a pious husband, who certainly will work hard to bring his wife and child into a pious Muslim. Similarly, a wife who is pious, will have the patience and sincerity in serving her husband's remarkable, though how bad her husband's behavior. So blessed to be a husband who has a wife who is pious.
Third, al auladun abrar, ie pious child.
When the Prophet Muhammad again Tawaf. Prophet Muhammad met a young child who shoulder abrasions. After finishing Tawaf Prophet asked the young man: "Why is your shoulder?" Answered the young man: "O Messenger of Allah, I am from Yemen, I have a mother who had udzur. I really love him and I never let go of him. I let my mother only when relieving yourself, when praying, or when it breaks, other than that I always carry him the rest ". Then the young man asked: "O Messenger of Allah, if I was included into the people who are already devoted to the parents?"
The Prophet SAW said, hugging the young man and said: "It is God's blessing to you, you sons of pious, filial piety, but please know my son, love your parents will not be shortchanged by you". From these hadiths that we get a picture of our worship charity was not enough to repay the love and kindness of our parents, but at least we can start by becoming a pious child, where children are pious prayer to God granted his parents are guaranteed. Blessed are you when you have a pious child.
Fourth, albiatu sholihah, ie an environment conducive to our faith.
What is meant by a conducive environment is, we should recognize anyone but to make it as our close friend, should be the people who have added value to our faith. In a hadith, the Prophet encourages us to always hang out with people who are pious. Pious people who will always take the good and reminds us when we do wrong.
Pious people are the ones who are happy because it favors the Islamic faith and the blessings which always radiates the light of his face. Insha Allah it will come shining light those who are nearby.
Blessed are those who are always surrounded by people who are pious.
Fifth, al malul halal, or lawful property.
Paradigm in Islam is not the abundance of possessions but halal. This does not mean that Islam did not tell his people to get rich.
In narrated by Imam Muslim in the chapter sadaqoh, the Prophet Muhammad had met a friend who prays raised his hand. "You pray is good," said the Prophet, "But unfortunately the food, beverages and clothing and unlawful residence acquired, how the prayer is granted". Blessed be the property of halal because God granted her prayer is very easy. Lawful property also will keep Satan from his heart, the more his heart is clean, pure and strong, so give peace in his life. So blessed are those who always carefully keeping their property halal.
Sixth, Tafakuh fi deen, or passion to understand the religion.
Understand the spirit of religion embodied in the spirit of understanding the religious sciences of Islam. The more he learns, the more he is stimulated to learn more knowledge about the nature of God and His creation.
God promises blessings for His people who seek knowledge, the more he learns the more love he told his religion, the higher the love of Allah and his apostle. Love is what will give light to his heart.
Understand the spirit of religion will be to "live" her heart, the liver is "live" is the heart that is always filled with light and delicious favors the Islamic faith. So blessed are those who fully understand the science of the spirit of Islam.
Seventh, the age of baroqah.
Baroqah age that means that the older the age the more pious, that every second is filled with acts of worship. A person who fills his life for the happiness of the world alone, then the old days will be filled with lots of nostalgia (daydream) about his youth, he also tends to be disappointed with ketuaannya (post-power syndrome). Besides, his mind focused on how to enjoy the rest of his life, then she began to busy dreaming of the pleasures of the world that he has not had time to feel, her disappointed if he was not able to enjoy the pleasures of diangankannya. Meanwhile, people who fill its age with a lot of preparing for the Hereafter (through acts of worship) then the older the more she longed to meet her Creator. Old days are filled with making out with the Merciful. There is no fear of leaving this world, even he is hopeful to soon feel the natural beauty of the next life as God promised. This is the spirit of "live" people who baroqah age, so blessed are those whose age baroqah.
Thus the messages from Ibn Abbas ra. 7 world of happiness indicators.
How can our God gave to the seven indicators of happiness that world? In addition to our efforts to improve yourself, then ask Allah SWT to as often and as khusyu 'broom may read the prayer `universe', the prayer most often read by the Prophet Muhammad. Where the first line of the prayer "Rabbanaa aatina hasanaw fid dun-ya" (which means "God grant me the happiness of the world"), has a meaning that we are asking God to the world's seven indicators of happiness mentioned Ibn Abbas, that is the heart that is always gratitude, a pious spouse, pious children, friends or a pious environment, the lawful property, the spirit to understand the teachings of religion, and age baroqah.
Although we admit it is difficult to get seventh is within our grasp, at least if we get some alone we should be grateful. As for the continuation of such prayers broom universe that is "wa fil aakhirati hasanaw" (which means "and also the happiness of the Hereafter"), to obtain it is by the grace of God. Happiness hereafter is not heaven but God's grace, mercy of God. Heaven is only a fraction of the grace of God, we go to heaven not because of our pious charity, but because of the grace of God.
Pious deeds we do throughout our lives (even though every day of fasting and prayer night) is not enough to get a ticket to heaven. Pious charity as perfect whatever we do all our lives are not comparable with the delights of heaven promised by God.
The Prophet SAW said, "Charity pious that you do not put you into heaven". Then the companions asked: "What about you, O Messenger of Allah?". Prophet replied: "I was too pious Charity is not enough". Then the companions asked again: "Then by what we get to heaven?". The Prophet replied again: "We can go to heaven only because of grace and goodness of God alone".
So our prayers, our fasting, our taqarub to God is actually not to heaven but to get the grace of God. With the grace of God that we get the heaven of Allah (God willing, Amiin).
