Keperluan untuk menegur seseorang secara terbuka

Aku mulai bebelan ini dengan satu contoh situasi :

Katakanlah aku membuat satu kenyataan kat status facebook aku, dan akibat kecuaian juga sedikitnye ilmu di dada, ade lah sedikit kesilapan dalam kenyataan tersebut.

Dan setelah dipublish, ada lah insan2 awesome yang like juga comment. Tapi, ade seorang member aku yang lebih awesome, dapat mengesan kesilapan dalam status facebook aku tersebut. Maka beliau mengambil ikhtiar untuk menasihati diri ini secara rahsia, dengan menulis message inbox kat aku.

Maka di sini aku telah sedar akan kesilapan aku. Tapi persoalannya di sini, bagaimana pula mereka yang membaca, like juga comment status tersebut? Kalau kesilapan tersebut adalah berkaitan hal yang tidak diketahui ramai, maka mereka yang membaca dan menerima status tersebut akan kekal di dalam kesesatan.

Adalah suatu yang sangat baik jikalau aku menerima nasihat tersebut, lalu memperbetulkannya pada ruangan comment atau menyebarkan tentang apa sebenarnya yang betul, tapi kalau aku tidak menerima nasihat tersebut, bukankah mereka yang lain sudah terlepas dari menerima kebenaran? Apakah ada jaminan yang setiap nasihat yang diberikan secara rahsia akan diumumkan pada khalayak ramai, supaya semua orang dapat tahu tentang apa yang betul dan apa yang salah? Apakah si pemberi nasihat dapat menghubungi setiap manusia yang membaca dan melihat kenyataan tersebut untuk diberikan juga kepada mereka nasihat yang sama?

Tak.

Tapi kalau nasihat itu ditulis di ruang comment, dilakukan secara public sejurus selepas kesalahan tersebut, maka orang ramai dapat membaca atau melihat nasihat tersebut, secara lansung tahu akan apa yang benar dan apa yang salah.

Benar nasihat perlu dilakukan secara rahsia, jika kesalahan itu adalah kesalahan specific dan tidak disebarkan ke khalayak ramai. Adalah lebih baik jikalau suatu kesalahan yang dilalukan secara public ditegur juga secara public, supaya si pelaku tahu tentang kesalahan beliau, dan si pemerhati tahu tentang apa yang salah.

Disini bukan tentang ingin memalukan mana-mana pihak, tapi ia berkenaan memperbetulkan mana yang salah dan menyebarkan apa yang betul. Adalah urusan Allaah tentang niat si penasihat sama ada beliau betul ikhlas memberi nasihat, atau ingin memalukan mana-mana pihak semata-mata.

Masalahnye, kiter dok sebok marah2 orang yang bagi nasihat dengan mempersoalkan niat mereka menyampaikan nasihat, yang dok terang2 buat salah, takde sape nak marah. -___-"

Betulkan aku kalau aku salah. :)

We Failed

I should have write this a long time ago, as it is related to certain issue.

Let me firstly present all of us with a hadith :

Anas Bin Maalik said:

While we were in the masjid with the Messenger of Allaah, a Bedouin came; he then urinated in the masjid.

The Companions of the Messenger of Allaah said, “Mah Mah (An expression used to severly scold someone, to indicate the graveness of a matter).”

The Messenger of Allaah said, “Do not put a halt to his urinating, but instead leave him.”

They left him alone until he finished urinating.

The Messenger of Allaah called him over and said to him, “Any kind of urine or filth is not suitable for these masjids. Instead they are only [appropriate] for the remembrance of Allaah, the Prayer, and the recitation of the Qur’aan,” or this is near to what the Messenger of Allaah said.

He (saw) then issued an order to a man from the people, who then came with a bucket of water, which he poured over the [effected] area [of the masjid].

[Related by Muslim in his Saheeh, 285]

Now, breaking down the facts

The prophet Muhammad s.a.w. clearly had a full authorities to punish this man for urinating in the mosque, yet he didn’t. Instead, he called upon him without any harshness and taught him what is wrong and what is right.

Referring what happen in Malaysia ; Nowadays, we had two non-Muslims eating pork while wishing happy eid to all muslims, we have a muslims girl playing with dogs whatsoever that she did, I don’t watch that video. All of a sudden we all went crazy cursing and condemning this people. Not a single person I’ve seen so far trying to reach them and give them a proper advice. All we do are fighting and debating with each other about should we punish, what to do and what not to do.

You know what I wish? What I really wish? I wish that Alvin and Vivian, and whoever makes any offensive video about Islam have at least ONE good Muslim friend that can advise them and show them what Islam is all about.

Look, I know it’s really annoying seeing all these people offense our religion. But the thing is, if they know how awesome, cool, peaceful Islam is, I don’t think they will do such action. The thing is they don’t know. Why? Because we don’t speak about it with them. We never talk about how good Islam is to these people. We keep it to ourselves. Worst, we never show how good Islam is. We as Muslim ourselves failed to be a muslim. This is our fault. When people insult Islam, we have no one to blame but ourselves. What are we doing? Fine those people? Punish them? Will that solves the problems? Did they know what they did wrong? Will that makes them stop? Will that makes others stop? And most of all, will that make them closer to Islam? Will that makes anyone closer to Islam?

Damn no!

Lets all go back to the teaching of the Prophet Muhammmad s.a.w. and try our best to take him as an example in our life.

I know I might be wrong, therefor correct me. But this is how I understand the hadith. And I don’t think the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w will agree to whatever we have done to these people if he’s still alive.

I have a lot of conversation with non-muslims and trying my best to explain to them what Islam is, and the common question that I got from them

"Why are muslims doing the opposite?"

That question just shut me, at least for a bit.

Lets all go back to the teaching of the Prophet Muhammmad s.a.w. and try our best to take him as an example in our life, and be a muslim. A real muslim. 

p.s Some opinion said that the Bedouin convert to Islam soon after.
