Friday Nasiha - Issue # 444
Living the Quran |
Surah Al-Maun (Small Kindness) Chapter 107: Verses 1-7 Small Kindness "Have you seen him who denies Our religion? It is he who harshly repels the orphan and does not urge others to feed the needy. Woe to those who pray but are heedless of their prayers; who put on a show of piety but refuse to give even the smallest help to others." This surah brings forth the fundamental truth intrinsic in the nature of the Islamic faith, the enormous benefit it offers to all humanity and the abundant blessings with which Allah favoured mankind when He sent them His last Message. "Have you seen him who denies Our religion? It is he who harshly repels the orphan and does not urge others to feed the needy." The surah starts with a question addressed to all who can "see", generating suspense and holding their attention in order to make them discover the target and subject of the surah. Ah! Who is this creature identified by the Qur'an as the one who denies the religion of Islam? Hence, the answer: "It is he who harshly repels the orphan and does not urge others to feed the needy." This definition of the disbelievers may sound surprising when compared with the traditional definition of faith but this is the core of the whole matter. Indeed the one who denies the faith is he who wickedly repels the orphan, humiliating him and hurting his feelings! And who does not care for the needy or their welfare. For if the truth of Islam has in any degree touched his heart, he would commit no such acts. True belief in Islam is not a spoken word but an overall change of the individual's heart, motivating him to benevolence and goodwill for all his fellow beings that are in need of his care and protection. Allah does not want mere words from His servants but demands deeds to support the spoken words. {full article here}

The 3 Stages of a New Idea
John Paul Jackson, a man I greatly respect, said that an idea goes through three stages: ridicule, active resistance, and being accepted as if it always was.
This process could take weeks, months, years, or even decades depending on the idea.
I have seen this over and over again especially in the acceptance of new technologies.
Email is just for goofing off. Years ago, email was thought to only be for chatting with friends or sending jokes or silly links. The idea of email has gone through the first two stages and is now an accepted part of doing business.
How about Instant Messaging (IM)? In many companies, (IM) is in the ridicule or active resistance stage. I know of a company where two developers were working on a project using IM. The company made a decision to block IM because it was dangerous and it was only used for goofing off. On the other hand, more progressive companies encourage the use of IM and have seen productivity improvements as a result.
How about taking naps? For most of my career, the idea of "falling asleep on the job", was grounds for instant dismissal. However, we are starting to hear of companies setting up "quiet rooms" whose purpose is to give people a place to take a nap at work. Why? Because most people are sleep deprived and these companies are finding that giving their people a chance to take a nap is a win for all concerned. In some cultures taking a mid-day nap is just normal. It will be interesting to see whether or not companies will encourage people to take naps or not.
When introducing a new idea, don't expect it will be accepted at first. Most are not. One thing that may help is to gather support for the new idea before presenting it to the decision makers. For instance, maybe you want to encourage the use of IM at your company. A good first step might be to survey the people at the company and find out how many of them already use IM on a regular basis.
What have you seen that works when introducing a new idea and what doesn't?

Just shooting for fun, says boy caught for injuring, killing Asians
KUWAIT CITY: Jahra securitymen have arrested a 14-year-old boy, who fired a gun two days in a row near the Central Jail, resulting in serious injuries to an Asian expatriate on Sunday and death to another on Monday, reports Al-Qabas.
Security sources said police had intensified their search after the fatal incident leading to the arrest of the boy who admitted the crime. During interrogation, the boy told police he got the gun from one of his friends and practiced his shooting skills with the sign and lamp posts in Al-Nhada as his targets. He also admitted firing the gun for fun at three Asian laborers on the first day and another on the second day while they were passing in front of his house.
The boy and his friend were later referred to the Juvenile Prosecution where they were charged of pre-meditated murder, attempted murder and causing damages to State properties. |

Plead for EarthQuake Fund in Sumatera
Mangsa Gempabumi di Sumatera Perlukan Bantuan
Di kemaskini pada Selasa, 25/09/2007Telah 2 minggu berlalu apabila gempabumi sekuat 8.4 pada skala Ritcher melanda daerah Bengkulu di Sumatera dan seterusnya menggegarkan Nusantara. Sebahagian daripada kita di Malaysia juga turut dapat merasakan betapa besarnya kekuasaan Allah merencanakan kejadian tersebut, yang seharusnya terus diambil sebagai pengajaran dan iktibar. Alhamdulillah kita masih diberi kehidupan yang selesa dan mewah, malahan dapat menunaikan ibadat puasa dengan baik sekali. Dapat kita berbuka puasa dengan pelbagai pilihan makanan, rotab dan tamar berkualiti tinggi yang mahal, menghilangkan dahaga dengan air zam-zam, merasakan kebahagiaan majlis berbuka bersama anak-anak dan keluarga, dan seterusnya beramai-ramai mengunjungi masjid-masjid untuk bertarawih dalam keselesaan sejuk berhawa dingin.
Namun, bagi saudara-saudara kita di Sumatera, kehidupan mereka terus dalam kesulitan, ketakutan dan trauma berikutan kejadian gempa dan susulan gempa yang berterusan. Harta, rumah, malahan keluarga mereka, sebahagian besarnya telah musnah. Tidak kurang juga yang masih menanggung kesakitan dan kecederaan. Sebahagian besar daripada mereka cuma mampu berteduh dalam kemah-kemah sementara yang serba kekurangan. Tidak ada kemudahan, makanan, keselesaan, apa lagi kemewahan seperti yang kita nikmati. Mereka berbuka puasa hanya dengan air telaga dan biskut kering yang diberikan oleh mereka yang prihatin.
Tidak seperti benjana Tsunami tahun 2004 lalu, bencana kali ini tidak mendapat perhatian dan liputan media dengan baik. Menurut relawan-relawan tempatan di Sumatera, walaupun angka kematian tidak begitu tinggi, namun terlalu banyak bangunan, masjid, sekolah dan rumah-rumah yang musnah. Dengan kejadian gempa-gempa susulan yang dianggarkan akan berterusan dalam tempoh sebulan, kemusnahan akan bertambah banyak lagi dan merumitkan usaha pemulihan.
Menurut mereka lagi, masyarakat sangat memerlukan bantuan kemah, selimut, ubat-ubatan dan makanan. Relawan-relawan tempatan bekerja gigih memberi bantuan perubatan, mengagih makanan, dan seterusnya bersama-sama berbuka puasa dan bertarawih di kemah-kemah sementara. Alhamdulillah, usaha relawan-relawan ini akan sedikit sebanyak dapat meringankan beban dan tekanan kepada mangsa.
Dalam keghairahan kita meningkatkan amal di bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ini, lebih-lebih lagi menjelang Syawal yang hampir tiba, HALUAN mengajak masyarakat untuk turut menghulurkan sebahagian dari kesenangan dan kemewahan, membantu tetangga kita yang di timpa musibah ini. Menurut Ketua Biro Bantuan Kecemasan dan Misi Kemanusiaan, Tuan Haji Mohd Azhar Idris, HALUAN telahpun menggerakan usaha mengumpul dana bantuan kepada mangsa. Beliau menggesa supaya masyarakat prihatin, terutama mereka yang ingin mengambil peluang beramal di dalam bulan Ramadhan yang penuh kemuliaan dan keberkatan ini, turut bersama-sama segera memberi sumbangan dan bantuan. Beliau juga menegaskan bahawa bantuan segera amat diperlukan bagi meringankan beban mangsa yang tidak mendapat bantuan sebaiknya, lebih-lebih lagi dalam suasana mereka menunaikan ibadah puasa Ramadhan.
Disamping menghulurkan derma, Hj Mohd Azhar juga menyarankan supaya diadakan kutipan derma di masjid dan surau supaya lebih ramai masyarakat, terutama muslimin dan muslimat, untuk turut membantu. HALUAN telah menyediakan flyer ringkas (sila klik di sini untuk dimuat-turun) bagi memudahkan usaha mengiklankan kutipan ini.
Sumbangan boleh disalurkan melalui
Nama Akaun: Tabung Kemanusiaan HALUAN No Akaun: 14-023-01-002571-8 Bank: Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad
Sebarang pertanyaan boleh diajukan kepada Tuan Haji Mohd Azhar Idris melalui talian 012 - 601 2 743
Semoga sumbangan anda diberi ganjaran yang berlipat ganda sempena bulan yang mulia ini, lebih-lebih lagi kerana membantu mereka yang ditimpa musibah. Jangan bertangguh, rebutlah peluang untuk memberi mereka makanan untuk berbuka puasa, kerana menurut sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Abu Dawuud,
Daripada Anas bin Malik, bahawa Rasulullah saw telah pergi bertemu Sa'd bin 'Ubadah dengan membawa sebuku roti dan zaitun, kemudiannya beliau (iaitu Sa'd) memakannya. Kemudian Rasulullah saw bersabda; "Kamu memberikan (makanan) orang yang berpuasa berbuka, dan yang memakan makanan kamu itu orang-orang yang mulia, kamu (akan) didoakan kesejahteraan oleh para malaikat".
