PERTOLONGAN ALLAH SANGAT DEKAT….

Pada suatu hari hujan cukup lebat melanda kota. Semua warga mengungsi menyelamatkan dirinya kecuali seorang ustadz dengan penuh keyakinan Allah akan menyelamatkan dirinya bila tetap tinggal di masjid,
disetiap detiknya dia memohon kepada Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, sementara banjir sudah menggenangi teras masjid.
Sebuah perahu hendak menyelamatkan, mengevakuasi ustadz itu tetapi ditolaknya dan berkata, 'Terima kasih saya akan tetap bertahan dimasjid ini.'Hujan semakin lebat, banjir semakin tinggi dan
datanglah perahu kedua hendak menolong ustadz tetapi ditolak lagi, 'Terima kasih, saya percaya Allah akan tetap menolong saya.'Hujan tak kunjung berhenti sehingga keadaan sudah sangat gawat
tetapi
datang perahu ketiga, ustadz tak juga mau dievakuasi, 'Allah pasti menolong saya, jadi saya akan tetap disini.'
Akhirnya banjir itu menenggelamkan masjid dan ustadz tak lagi terselamatkan. Dihadapan Allah, sang ustadz protes kepada Allah. 'Ya Allah, saya adalah hambaMu yang beriman kepadaMu tetapi Engkau kenapa tidak menyelamatkan aku dari banjir?' Kenapa Engkau membiarkan saya menderita Ya Allah?'
Allah kemudian menjawab, 'Bukankah AKU telah mengirimkan tiga perahu untuk menyelamatkan dirimu?'
Pesan kisah diatas bahwa hadirnya pertolongan Allah kepada diri kita seringkali kita tidak pahami. Kita sudah curhat, berkeluh kesah kepada Allah, kita merasa doa kita tidak dikabulkan, masalah kita malah semakin berat seolah Allah tidak sayang kepada kita lagi.
Padahal pertolongan Allah senantiasa hadir dengan cara yang tidak terbatas.
Bisa jadi hadirnya pertolongan Allah itu dalam bentuk nasehat, tulisan, bantuan, guncangan, senyuman, sentilan, makian, tangisan, pujian atau dalam bentuk yang lain.
Ketika
kita sekarang sedang dirundung masalah, Apakah kita sudah cukup peka terhadap hadirnya pertolongan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala yang ada dihadapan kita? Ataukah justru kita mengabaikannya?
Padahal pertolongan Allah itu sangat dekat,
sebagaimana firman Allah.'Ingatlah, sesungguhnya pertolongan Allah itu sangat dekat.' (QS. al-Baqarah: 214)

LOVE THIS PARABLE! LoL!

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real 'miser' when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife...

'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me..'
And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
Well, he died.

He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there- dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket,

the wife said, 'Wait just a moment!'
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket.

Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away So her friend said,'Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.'
The loyal wife replied,'Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word.

I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.'

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?'
'I sure did,' said the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a cheque.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it.'
