There is a saheeh hadeeth narrated by Tirmidhi, which reads:
"Any person who hereafter becomes hope, God will make sense enough in his heart and unify (make) his business, and the world will come to him in a state of submissive and humiliated. But who the world a hope, God will make pauperism in front of his eyes and scatter scattereth affairs, and the world will not come to him except just what he had set for him. "
This hadith can be effective in muhasabah inspire ourselves at the end of this year.
Only we ourselves know, at this time we include class which of the two groups of people mentioned in the above hadith. Is the group that has been made hereafter as our goal, or still in the chase group of the world.
The following simple checklist can be a map to know where we are located at this time:
1. Do our hearts have felt wealthy with all that exists, though it does not mean we have to 'rich'?
2. Are all our affairs was easily his or facilitated?
3. What is the 'world' come to us with obedient and despicable?
Fortunately for us if the great we can answer Yes to all three questions mentioned above, means it can so we've included the first group - that is what makes the afterlife destination.
Conversely, if there is our answer "No", then so can so we are still among those in the second group is what makes the world our expectations. The fact all the problems these people who seem difficult to indicate that the majority of us still in this second group.
Ironically, when we make the 'world' as we would hope that there is poverty in front of our eyes (although it could be us 'rich'). All matters become complicated, little things become big problems, divorced people apart because of it. World that we pursue with any great difficulty, do not we get except what has been appointed.
The world was not for the people who chase; world only to be 'bonus' for people who make the afterlife of his life goals.
In addition to the above hadeeth, apparently God also promised direct this, among others, can be found in some of the following verse:
"Anyone who wants this life (worldly), then we immediately do for him in the world that what we want for the people we want and we set him hell, he will enter it in a disgraceful state and expelled. And whoever wants the hereafter in that direction and the buck is he is a believer, then they are the ones who respond with good business "(Surah 17: 18-19).
"Surely God will forgive your sins and enter you into Gardens beneath which flow rivers, and (insert you) into a good place to live in the Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph. And (there again) another gift that you like (that) help from Allah and victory is near (the time). And give glad tidings to those who believe. "(Surah 61: 12-13)
In Islamic history we can also learn that the triumph of the people of this occurs when leaders and people who led the afterlife are equally oriented. That's when the Islamic Caliphate once stretched from parts of Europe, Africa to the eastern part of the archipelago.
Now on the contrary, after the Muslim world scattered with nation states, people had (in Indonesia for example) split again into smaller groups with what is calling itself the parties.
Even the next disaster continue to occur because in the parties they are now scattered provided by democracy - majority vote; my friend's apartment who had been struggling in one party in particular constituencies - now they are fighting over the support of the cadres of the same - because the will determine who gets the chair the upcoming election is that gets the most votes among them.
But if we can correct the current exile, we do not need to pursue the seat and the accompanying wealth-chair / wealth whatever the name - God willing calamity can be avoided. Simple, we are holding on to the above verse and the hadith which was supposed to be our guide.
May the coming year we can really emigrated from the 'only hope of the world' to 'only hope the afterlife' of the 'poverty' to the 'all sufficiency', from 'difficult' to 'every convenience', from 'the people are scattered' to ' people that one 'and the' pursuit of the world into being pursued the world '. Amen.
