RENUNG-RENUNG, JELING-JELING

Ini ada satu kisah menarik untuk dikongsi fat cai dengan semua member2. Betul. Kadang-kadang kita akan lupa untuk bersyukur apatah lagi untuk memohon pertolongan daripada Allah. Dah tentunya kita sebagai manusia ada sifat riak dan takbur. Tapi, kita kena tau bahawa setiap ujian yang Allah beri pada kita adalah merupakan satu cara bagaimana Allah tu nak mengurangan dosa kita. Itupun kalau kita terima dengan redha. Tapi kalau sebaliknya respond kita, Allah tetap akan tahu hambanya itu tidaklah sehebat mana walaupun suaranya lantang, hidupnya kaya raya, badannya sasa, IQnya tinggi, dan pandai mengaji.


A MAN WENT TO A BARBER SHOP TO HAVE HIS HAIR
CUT AND HIS BEARD TRIMMED.
AS THE BARBER BEGAN TO WORK, THEY
BEGAN TO HAVE A GOOD
CONVERSATION.
THEY TALKED ABOUT SO MANY THINGS AND
VARIOUS SUBJECTS.
WHEN THEY EVENTUALLY TOUCHED ON THE
SUBJECT OF ALLAH.

THE BARBER SAID: "I DON'T BELIEVE THAT
ALLAH EXISTS."

"WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?" ASKED THE
CUSTOMER.

"WELL, YOU JUST HAVE TO GO OUT IN THE
STREET TO REALIZE THAT
ALLAH DOESN'T EXIST. TELL ME, IF ALLAH
EXISTS, WOULD THERE BE SO
MANY SICK PEOPLE? WOULD THERE BE
ABANDONED CHILDREN? IF ALLAH
EXISTED, THERE WOULD BE NEITHER
SUFFERING NOR PAIN. I CAN'T IMAGINE
A LOVING ALLAH WHO WOULD ALLOW ALL OF
THESE THINGS."

THE CUSTOMER THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT,
BUT DIDN'T RESPOND BECAUSE
HE DIDN'T WANT TO START AN ARGUMENT.
THE
BARBER FINISHED HIS JOB
AND THE CUSTOMER LEFT THE SHOP. JUST
AFTER HE LEFT THE BARBERSHOP,
HE SAW A MAN IN THE STREET WITH LONG,
STRINGY, DIRTY HAIR AND AN
UNTRIMMED BEARD.

HE LOOKED DIRTY AND UNKEMPT. THE
CUSTOMER TURNED BACK AND
ENTERED THE BARBER SHOP AGAIN AND HE
SAID TO THE BARBER:

"YOU KNOW WHAT? BARBERS DO NOT
EXIST." "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?"
ASKED
THE SURPRISED BARBER. "I AM HERE, AND I
AM A BARBER. AND I JUST
WORKED ON YOU!"

"NO!" THE CUSTOMER EXCLAIMED. "BARBERS
DON'T EXIST BECAUSE IF
THEY DID, THERE WOULD BE NO PEOPLE
WITH DIRTY LONG HAIR AND
UNTRIMMED BEARDS, LIKE THAT MAN
OUTSIDE." "AH, BUT BARBERS DO
EXIST!
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE DO
NOT COME TO ME."

"EXACTLY!"

AFFIRMED THE CUSTOMER. "THAT'S THE
POINT! ALLAH, TOO, DOES
EXIST! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE
DO NOT GO TO HIM AND DON'T
LOOK TO HIM
FOR HELP. THAT'S WHY THERE'S SO MUCH
PAIN AND SUFFERING IN
THE WORLD."
