meminta2 dengan miskin tak sama okey~

nephew : auntie, i felt pity for her.. she looks very poor..
auntie : i am proud of you being very generous dear, but i really do not have extra money.. do offer her some of your food or drink..
beggar : no..no i don't want plain water.. i want money..

when we are talking about beggars.. the first to come out with is " street beggars" or "peminta sedekah" .. oxford dictionary says beggar is person who lives by begging for food or money..in other words,asking earnestly or humbly for something..

Selalunya orang cakap, jangan bagi duit kat peminta sedekah.. diorang ada kaki..ada tangan.. diorang bukan tak boleh kerja, malas..nak duit cara shortcut..dan sebagainya.. but remember!!

And repulse not the beggar/ adapun orang yang meminta-minta , maka janganlah engkau tengking herdik. ( surah ad-dhuha : 10 )

buku riyadhus salihin kata..

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a., katanya: Nabi s.a.w. bersabda:

“Bukanlah orang miskin itu orang yang tertolak satu atau dua biji kurma ataupun satu atau dua suap makanan. Sesungguhnya orang miskin itu ialah yang memelihara kehormatan (dari meminta-minta).” (RS264; Bukhari, Muslim)

Dan dalam riwayat lain dari kedua-dua kitab sahih ini:

“Bukanlah orang miskin itu orang yang berkeliling manusia lain sehingga tertolak satu atau dua biji kurma ataupun satu ada dua suap makanan. Orang miskin itu tidak mempunyai harta yang cukup tetapi beliau tidak memberitahu orang akan kemiskinannya agar mendapat bantuan atau berdiri untuk meminta-minta."

In a day how many time do u beg your life to become better?

a: IF only i have rich parents,i would have i-pad2 right now
b: IF only i am much prettier, people would look at me some how.
c: IF only i am smarter , i don't need to study this hard
d: IF and only IF a.k.a IFF .. ^_^ ( ingat math moden : jika dan hanya jika)

if we keep saying above statement,recheck our faith in Allah..you will realize we are no different than street beggars except we have people to depend and rely on.. they don't..

some ideas for not "begging" too much-->

1) donate..then you will appreciate more what you have
"
"....And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is superfluous.../...Dan mereka bertanya pula kepadamu: Apakah yang mereka akan belanjakan (dermakan)? Katakanlah: (Dermakanlah apa-apa) yang berlebihan dari keperluan (kamu).... " ( surah al-baqarah : 219)

2) always find lower price stuff.. stay away from "price tag" people..

if we think we are rich, example Abd.Rahman bin Auf
if we think we are poor, example Fatimah the daughter of RasulAllah.

"definitely,vain rich people have money but not faith..worse, vain poor people have neither..true rich people have faith without greediness, and true poor people have faith without complain.. what matter most? have faith!"- Miss Anonymous
