Kuasa Adalah Ujian -- Power is a Test

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Kagum dengan kata2 Omar Al Khattab (radhiallahu anhu), 'Seandainya kaldai jatuh di sebabkan jalan tak rata, Omar akan disoal olih Allah di hari qiyamat kenapa jalan tak di perbaiki untuk binatang2 ini.' Omar, seorang yang sangat berkuasa sebagai khalifah, tidak kurang melindungi binatang yang ada.

Semua orang di beri sesuatu kuasa olih Allah. Ibu bapa berkuasa terhadap anak2nya. Suami berkuasa terhadap isterinya. Majikan berkuasa terhadap pekerja2nya. Guru berkuasa terhadap anak muridnya. Pemimpin berkuasa terhadap orang ramai. Bila kita di beri kuasa , itu adalah ujian -- Allah menguji kita apa kita akan buat dengan kuasa kita. Maka menghambakan lah diri dalam melaksanakan kuasa bukan menghambakan orang dengan kuasa kita atau tunjuk besar.

Awed by the saying of Omra Al Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) "If a mule or a donkey should fall because the roads are not level, Omar will be questioned before God on the Day of Judgment as to why he did not repair the roads for these animals.” Omar as a powerful Caliph, was no less protective of the animals during his rule.

Everyone is given certain powers by God. Parents has control over their children. Husband has control over his wife. The employer has control over his employees. The teacher has power over his students. Leaders has power over their people. When we are given any power, it is a test -- Allah is testing us to see what we would do with our power. To exercise your power is to enslave yourself with the power you are given, not to enslave others with your power or being arrogant.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

Allahu 'a'lam
