SEDEKAH PADA KELUARGA

Kita sering ingat infaq/sedekah kpd org lain (org2 miskin atau baitulmal atau pusat zakat) akan menjaminkan kita mendapat pahala yg tidak terhenti didunia dan diakhirat. Tetapi sebenarnya dlm islam, infaq/sedekah pd keluarga/adik beradik yg susah atau yg memerlukan lebih utama dan double ganjarannya.

Kita sering juga lihat ahli2 Jamaah2 Islam rajin bersedekah kpd orang lain tetapi isteri dan anak2  dan adik beradik hidup dlm kepayahan dan kesusahan...kena ikat perut nak bayar yuran sekolah, yuran U misalnya

 

Mari kita belajar dari hadith Rasulullah saw utk betulkan minda kita..

 

1. Sabda Nabi SAW 

 

 "Sedekah kepada orang miskin adalah sedekah, manakala sedekah kepada keluarga ada dua fadilat iaitu ganjaran sedekah dan ganjaran silaturrahim"

        (Hadis Riwayat Tirmizi)

 

2 Sabda Nabi SAW 

 

 "Sesiapa yang ingin diluaskan rezekinya dan dilewatkan ajalnya, hendaklah dia mempereratkan ikatan kekeluargaannya." 

      (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

 

3. Daripada Abu Hurairah RA, Nabi SAW telah bersabda:

 

“Dan dinar (harta) yang kamu belanjakan di jalan Allah dan dinar yang kamu berikan kepada hamba (untuk membebaskan) dan dinar yang kamu sedekahkan kepada orang miskin serta dinar yang kamu sedekahkan kepada keluargamu. Maka, yang paling besar ganjaran pahalanya adalah yang kamu sedekahkan kepada keluargamu.”

    (Hadis Riwayat Muslim) 

Walau bagaimanapun, ini bukanlah bermaksud kita tidak perlu menyedekahkan wang atau memberikan makanan kita kepada orang lain. 

Hadis ini menekankan agar kita lebih mengutamakan ahli keluarga  berbanding dengan orang asing/kenalan yang tidak mempunyai kaitan darah.

 

 

 

Our beautiful Kebun

 

(In honour to our dear brother, yob, cg Ahmad Zulkifli Md Diah)

How it started

It was our father's. He bought the land, 4 acres in all n started to cultivate it.
He grew banana trees, durian n rubber trees. Everyday after work, he will stay in the kebun until maghrib. We followed too. it was fun. Since young, this kebun was our life.

( Somehow after several years, my late father discovered that the land he was working on was not his. A buyer wanted to buy the piece of land infront of our father's. At the land office, they discovered that it was my father's. So my father had to let go of his cultivated land to the real owner ( But this new land is much bigger)

Then in 1978, my father moved to ipoh for some reasons. He had a stroke in 1980. From then on, the kebun was left unattended. Since it was a good land, every seeds n trees started to grow freely. In the end, we couldnt recognise our kebun anymore. It became a hutan, a secondary forest.
i was  sad to see all my father's efforts wasted n i believe none of us will go back to usaha the land.


Then a miracle happened.
In 1995 (17 years later)..
OUR YOB CAME BACK N STARTED TO NURTURE OUR KEBUN.

He was teaching in Taiping at that time. He was 50. He came back every weekend to clear the hutan n started to give life to the kebun again.

It was not easy. There were wild undergrowths n big trees, no access road, no water system, no electricity n hardly any people....
