Medan-medan kita

Kata Imam Hassan Al Banna:


" Medan bercakap tidak sama dengan medan berkhayal,
Medan amal tidak sama dengan medan bercakap,
Medan amal yg jihad tidak sama dengan medan amal biasa,
Medan jihad al-Haq tidak sama dengan medan jihad yang salah."

There are things that perhaps are always at the back of our minds, things that we'd like to share with people, things that will bring benefit to people, but sometimes, those things are hard to be voiced out or explained to other people. Maybe due to lack of confidence, or lack of opportunity to spread the good words or etc.
[Medan bercakap tidak sama dgn medan berkhayal, berkhayal tu is like medan fikiran-thinking as well]

And then there comes a stage where we do spread the words to people, we talk of good things, we invite them to do good, but in the end what's important is ....well, is to do it ourselves- amalkannya. Walk the talk, as people say it. For example, no use telling other people not to talk bad about people, when we ourselves are talking bad about other people. Right?
[Medan amal tidak sama dengan medan bercakap]

Whatever that we do, it should always be in the niat to do ibadah. The moment we wake up, to the time when we lie back to go to sleep that night, all the amal in between should be dedicated only for Almighty God. When we breathe, we breathe for Him; when we study, it is only for Him etc etc.

But the best of those who do good, is doing jihad while doing those deeds. Jihad here does NOT mean going to war etc etc, but jihad actually means putting your best effort in anything that you do. Jihad= bersungguh-sungguh. For example, when you're studying, you focus with all your might, pulun habis2an, strive for excellence and you maximize the effort!! [baca dgn nada semangat]. Because that's what Allah asks you to do- jihad while studying!!
[Medan amal yg jihad tidak sama dengan medan amal biasa]

And the most important thing is to do jihad al-Haq. What is jihad al-Haq? It is the jihad in search of the truth, and the jihad of spreading the truth. The truth about the purpose of life, the reason we're created, and the place where we're destined to in the hereafter. The truth of God, and sharing the meaning of the beautiful Syahadah with people around us. Not only sharing the Syahadah, but actually LIVING the Syahadah...
[Medan jihad al-Haq tidak sama dengan medan jihad yang salah]
