Sacrifice

Assalamu3aleykum wbt.

Okay, like i said before, i'm writing for the more serious topic. Insyaallah.

I'm sure all of you have watched The Chronicles of Narnia right? I juz watched it after the last final exam. Yeah.. i admit tat i'm quite at the back about these movies stuff. Hehe..

Erm.. What's the relation between my 'serious' topic with TCoNarnia?

SACRIFICE

This word, is easy to say but hard to be done. Except, with a lot of love.

Family Members

When i was watching the movie, I realized, Wow! What a unique love between the siblings tat make them willing to sacrifice for each other. Especially, during the war with tat white witch. Peter and Susan at first, didn't want to help the Narnians in the war. Even though their youngest sister, Lucy was really trying encourage them to help. However, becoz their brother was kidnapped by the cruel white witch, they changed their mind. Although, at first their relationship with Edmund was not in a good mode.

Next, when Edmund had been saved, and the war began, he was not dare to leave Peter alone fighting with the enemies even though, his brother had asked him to leave. He fought the enemies with his brother till he had been injured with one of the enemy's javelin.

Have you ever willing to sacrifice for your brothers or sisters? Or other family members? Yeah, of course right? They are the people tat we must give our loves. Although sometimes, we'll have a little fight between each other.

Friends

I realized it is a quite difficult task. Should i call it as a task? hurmm.. Not really suitable, i think.

Not many of us willing to sacrifice without any benefits except if the person is the one whom had been sacrificing a lot for us. I wonder how tat some people although not many, will sacrifice for friends without any give and take. Well, I admit i'm not tat sort of people. For me, in our lives, we should have give and take. If i think there is no benefit to me for sacrificing i'll not do it. Maybe, it sounds like selfish. But, tat is me. Really am sorry about it. And I believe, many of you is juz like me right? Hehe.. However, i'm trying to improve myself. I try to find why do those people are sacrificing without things for themselves. What are actually their feelings?

Moslems

If we go back to our prophet s.a.w. and sahabat's story, we'll see a lot of sacrifice had been done by them without even any little self-importance. How can they do tat?

First, let's look back to the story between sahabat and Rasulullah s.a.w. During the hijrah event, Saidina Ali bin Abi Talib was willing to sleep on Rasulullah's bed even though he knew that his life might be in danger. Also Abu Bakr as-Siddiq who was willing to accompany Rasulullah s.a.w. in his journey to Madinah. Until in a Thur cave, he was really worried about Rasulullah s.a.w. more than himself. Rasulullah s.a.w. realized about this and he tried to calm down Abu Bakr by saying: "La tahzan. Innallaha ma3ana." (Meaning=Don't be sad. Allah's with us.) Also, in the cave his foot was stung by a black scorpion when he tried to close a hole with his bared foot for the sake of his friend's life.

Next,
about Muhajireen's immigration into Madinah al-Munawwarah. Look. Although, Ansar people had never met these Muhajireen, in the name of IMAN and ISLAM they were willing to help without any rewards from them. One of the example is when Saad bin Rabi' met Abdul Rahman bin Auf, he said: "My brother, I'm one of the rich men here. So, why not you take half of my wealth. Also, I've two wives. You can marry one of them after I divorce her. " Abdul Rahman replied with a smile:"Thank you for the offers. May your family always in Allah's blessings. Don't you worry about me. I juz want you to show me the way to a market." Look, how big Saad's love to Abdul Rahman. And Abdul Rahman do not take it as a chance of using Saad's richness.

Lastly,
the love of Rasulullah s.a.w. for the Ummah. This is the biggest love between human beings. Look. Even when Rasulullah s.a.w. was dying, he was still thinking about the ummah. "Ummati..Ummati..Ummati.." he said and asked Jibril about them. Rasulullah s.a.w. really loved his Ummah more than the love between parents and their sons and daughters till he was willing to sacrifice all of his life in order to bring the real meaningful life for us, his Ummah.

All of these because they love each other not because of something else but for the sake of IMAN. So, let's take a minute to think about our relationship with others. Are we willing to sacrifice for each other on the name of IMAN??

And, of course i have had the answer for the above question. Let's try to improve ourselves..!!

Wassalam.
