Why Living 2?
The ayat that was in the post, "Why Living?" is a direct command by Allah to Muslims. Clearly, we are required to dedicate our whole life in worshipping Allah. We all know what is expected from us, but do we know how do we fulfill this simple order from the Lord Of Universe?
We heard before that each and every single thing that we do in our daily life can be transformed into an act of worship. As stated by the Creator of Universe in the holy Quran.
قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Surah Al- An'am, Verse 162.
English: Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds:
Malay: "Katakanlah: ""Sesungguhnya salat, ibadah, hidup dan matiku hanyalah untuk Allah, Tuhan semesta alam,"
This is actually a very serious matter. Imagine the difference between these two people. First is a person that prays five times, with sunat prayers, reads the holy Quran, does not leave Zikr and does charity once a while. The second person does all those of the first person and also manage to transform his daily life into worship. This might seem small, but at a closer look, the man worships by eating, sleeping, stuying, walking, talking, 'blogging' and all.
The second dude fulfills the demand of both the ayats. He will lead a beautiful life, where everything he does is for Allah. Later, in the Day of Judgement, he would be able to tell his lord that he lived his life, only seeking for redha of Allah. Also, if anything goes wrong, if anything fails, he will not break down and cry. He will leave it all to Allah, since he knows that everything, matter not good or bad comes from Allah. As we repeat at least 17 times a day.
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
Surah al Fatihah, verse number 5.
English:Thee (alone) we worship; Thee alone we ask for help.
Malay: Hanya kepada Engkaulah kami menyembah dan hanya kepada Engkaulah kami mohon pertolongan
Obviously, some conditions apply. As follows,
1) Niat, Sincerely done for the pleasure of Allah.
2) Act is valid, not forbidden by Allah.
3) Done for the good.
4) Must do our best.
5) Never leave the fundamental ibadah (Prayers, fasting and such).
6) Should have good consequences.
Insya-Allah, all the things we do daily fulfils the above conditions. We only need to incorporate Condition No 1, and make sure we check it everytime.
Niat, can be checked and renewed by saying a short prayer everytime before we do something. The prayer is as follow,
بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Surah Al-Fatihah, Verse Number 1
English: In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Malay: Dengan menyebut nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang.
Simple eh? Haha. Lets do it, then.
-Wallahu a'lam-
Allah knows best.
