Between Selfishness and Attitudes Putting Interests of Others

Between Selfishness and Attitudes Putting Interests of Others 

Aired on Friday: 5 Ramadan 1374 (March 7, 1954) Whether humans are selfish person who loves himself and prioritize their self-interest above the interests of others? Or he is the man who put others in comparing himself and put the interests of others than their self-interest? This is a review sheet that spend a lot of psychology studies, the science of morals and sociology. Most experts agree that science almost by nature humans are selfish and unselfish, and he saw the interests of others through self-interest. Some even argue further, that the sacrifices made by someone is no more than a form of egoism which are covered with masks. People who sacrifice themselves in the field struggle to defend sound belief or defend his country, he is doing it to earn merit praise God or man, or also honor the land which he occupied so that he could benefit from the honor of the country. However, in addition to it all, human beings are essentially creatures politicon Zoon, who tend to work together, choosing to society than solitude, and that in turn will encourage him to give up some rights to others, so that from its cooperation with them he can take advantage of the embodiment of honor and interests. Therefore, some kind of sacrifice and preliminary interests of others, became part of the imperative in building a society without its existence, the public will not be able to live happily. If you do not restrict your freedom while driving on the highway with road signs, surely you can not drive on the road with safe, good for your soul as well as for your body. If you do not limit your behavior in bermu `amalah, and keep your hands of human treasure, nisacya you will not be able to guarantee profit and security of property and wealth. Therefore, the spirit of the law is one way to guarantee individual rights, and other terms to limit his freedom. Subject to this law is a form of introduction to the interests of others and sacrifice. In view of syari `ah, he might not get the reward, and experts in ethics and moral views he probably does not deserve praise, however it is a guarantee for the ness of life in a noble and happy society. Meanwhile, put the interests of others above your self interest is more than that, this is praised by syari `ah and by the principles of morals. He was the attitude of putting the interests of others based on personal awareness, not by compulsion of law. And not driven by worldly interests or instant enjoyment. In fact, the actions that he chose not to obtain than getting a personal pleasure, choose the hard rather than relaxing, choose the hungry rather than full, and chose death rather than life. The beauty of the sacrifice was not undermined by the desire to obtain rewards or praise, reward and praise because it is a meaningful case is expected of supernatural nature. Who gives something of material benefit to humans in the hope of getting meaningful replies, it means has provided an evidence for the soul, which gives more than takes. Indeed, this is the glory and the ultimate height and instructions goodness and virtue of the most powerful. We are indebted to the pleasure of living in every material and non-material effect on the people who have sacrificed and put the interests of others. We owe it to enjoy the facilities in the electricity, cars, airplanes and radio to the genius scientist who spent many years in the laboratory and their homes and continue researching day and night until they can give to mankind the result of hard work and suffering they endure. Form of pleasure, knowledge, and health enjoyed by billions of people in the East and West. We owe a delicacy in the field of science to the authors, like writers, scholars, muhadditsin, mufassirin and philosophers who spent their age diligently to write and meet sheets of paper with the wisdom and knowledge. While others were soundly asleep or busy with their lust. Az Zamakhsyari following expression describes what they are doing it: I'm staying up to study and examine the science, more ni `mat for me Compared to frolic and have fun with a beautiful woman I moved to and fro to solve science problems More comfortable and more attractive than the delicious taste We owe our country in land use, results, and social institutions, against our old people who have business and process it with their toil, and they were ransomed by blood and souls, so that this country down to us in a state noble and dignified. We are also indebted to the problem aqeedah and our religion that we are proud of this, and that we continue to talk about ni `mat Allah to us for guidance and his ethical teachings given to us through this religion, the pious Salaf generation who bear the various difficulty and pain in bringing this treatise in his first term, and who have sacrificed their blood and souls to face the enemies of Islam to convey this religion to the people after them, they also remove many obstacles that have been spread by his detractors, heretics and This religion is a liar. Masihiah martyrs in the first three centuries of the birth of Christ as are the people who had been instrumental to all believers who feel the delicacy Masihi submits to Christ and his teachings. And the martyrs of Islam in the Apostles and in the caliphs after him, were people who had been instrumental to the entire human race over ni `mat Islam and its civilization are eternal. Thus, we as a generation of today has been indebted to the previous-generation genersai in all what we `ni die today as a result of sacrifice, struggle and their attitudes that put the interests of others. So if we continue The set of fitting their sacrifice so that we can convey this to Keni `Matan generas next-generation as has been done by generations before us. Is our current generation to appreciate the meaning of sacrifice and put the interests of others? Does our generation have a certain character like this, which has been ordered by syari `at Allah, and the rules of morality? Actually, the life we ​​live now, almost had to remove the remnants of this beautiful human morality. Wherever you go and wherever you look sisii-side of our social life today, certainly you will find the selfishness that has overcome all things. You find selfishness a father who control in relation to their children, egoism husband / wife who master it in conjunction with the wife / husband, egoism leaders who master it in conjunction with the community under his leadership, selfishness of the rich and the haves are very visible in their attitude toward poor people, workers and farmers. Selfishness has mastered all the elements of the nation. Among traders are only concerned with profits of trade, the farmers are only concerned with p ertaniannya, circles and government officials are only concerned with his work; selfishness is what has lifted confidence among each other in society, who decides bond of affection between family members, and weaken the bond between humanity human. So a neighbor away with its neighbors, and a friend away from sahabatnnya, when we're in desperate need of cooperation to face the difficulties and problems of life. However, in our society there are still remnants of mascara altruism that gives hope for the disappearance of this selfishness in our society. Namely those who gave their lives to become martyrs in liberating Palestine, those who have sacrificed their souls in our country's independence struggle, those who have helped social institutions with the funds and their business, their dam who provide themselves as carrying the torch of reform society when people are in their negligence. They are pioneers carrier spirit of sacrifice and altruism mascara. We hope that their numbers continue to grow in quality and quantity over time. Dear Readers! We are in the glorious month, which invites to the kindness and encourage the attitude of altruism. Therefore, let us consider the principles of attitude 'iitsar' altruism in our belief, and the influence it in our history. From there we can reveal the fragrance of a noble humanity, which at present have been covered by the ambitions and passions. When the Holy Prophet and his companions make hijrah from Mecca to Medina, he unite in friendship between the mu `Minin from among immigrants with the mu` Minin from among the Ansar. Namely by making for each individual from among the Ansar a brother of Muhajir. So the brothers from the Ansar was carrying his brother who came from among the immigrants to his home, to then divide the two all that he had with his brother from muhajirin it, he divided his money, clothes, food, vehicle, and treating it in front of him and his family as a lover to lover. He did not hesitate to help him, and giving advice and helping hand. So forget about the suffering muhajirin among those who have left his hometown, his family and his wealth. So the phenomenon record Quran iitsaar 'altruism' is to be blessed eternal lesson for future generations. Read the word of Allah SWT the following: "And those who have occupied the city of Medina and have faith (Ansar) before (coming of) them (immigrants), they love people who emigrated to them. And they not put the desire in their hearts against anything given to them (the immigrants), and they give priority to (those immigrants), for themselves. Even if they require (what they give it). And who is saved from his miserliness, they are the ones who are lucky. "(Al Hasyr: 9) Allah says about those who sacrificed their souls in defense of truth and goodness, as follows: "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead; Nay, they live with their Lord, finding their provision." (Ali Imraan: 169.) And said of his servants who do good not because the purpose of obtaining credit and replies from others, as follows: "And they give food he likes to the poor, orphans and people are taken prisoner. Verily, We give food to you just to expect the pleasure of Allah, we do not want a reply from you, nor (greeting) thank you. "(Al-Insaan: 8-9) When the Prophet decided to migrate from his home which has been besieged by the league and they intend to kill him, the bed he was succeeded by his uncle's son, Ali bin Abi Talib ra He chose to become a victim of the Prophet, and make her as human shields to face the swords among the idolaters who are ready to cut her body and relieve his life. By doing so, he has been willing to sacrifice himself for the Holy Prophet carrier guidance for all mankind. When people have suffered famine and drought at the time of Umar, Umar only got to sleep a wink and can only rest for a while. All of the attention devoted to eliminating famine of its people. His efforts continued to burden him, so that his body turned black, and weakened. So people who saw him like that there is a saying: "if this famine continues to take a few months away, surely Omar could die of grief and suffering to see people suffering." One day came a caravan carrying goods from Egypt who brought meat, samin oil, food and clothing materials, and then he handed out all of itself to the public, and do not want at all to take part. He then said to the head of the caravan entourage: "I invite you to eat dirumahku later". The head of the caravan immediately thought of the delicious-delicious food. Because he thought that the food consumed by Amir al-Mu `Minin certainly better and more delicious than ordinary food. So in the spirit he came to Omar's house, while holding hunger, thirst and tiredness. There, Omar immediately prepare food for him. But that makes the visitor astonished is that the food consumed by Amir al-Mu `Minin not the food in the form of meat, oil saming, grilled meats and sweets. The food was nothing more than pieces of dried black bread, with berlauk plate of oil. It made the room very surprised, then he immediately asked to Umar: "why do you forbid to eat with other people in the form of food from the meat and oil samin, even thou serve me food that is consumed entirely unworthy of this?". Umar replied: "I only give food to you with the usual food I consume." He again asked: "what prevents you to memakanan same foods consumed by the public, when you yourself who have been handing out meat to the people?". Umar replied: "I have promised myself not to eat meat until minyaki samin and Muslims have all been satisfied with both types of food." What a great mascara iitsaar 'altruism' that has been shown by Umar was not it? And is there any appeal that attitude in this world? History has told us the contributions and sacrifices that have been given by women in wartime Paris in the seventies (19th century). Until they voluntarily give up their jewelry to help pay the fines imposed by Jermah of Parisians as ransom to free them from the military siege. The attitude of the women of Paris is a good example of the preliminary public interest and sacrifice. However, whether the level of sacrifice they were able to match the amount of sacrifice among the Muslim women at the time of the Prophet, when the Holy Prophet to encourage them to give donations and charity, and all the women spontaneously took off all their jewelry until no remaining one bit and they give to the Messenger Saw, for then he use such property for the benefit of the Muslims. (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim) Donations in time of war to face the onslaught of the enemy is an act that is very commendable. But the contribution at the time of peace as a contribution to public welfare projects while expecting something in return Allah SWT is an act that is more commendable again. Not surprisingly, our women's services that donate their jewelry at the time of peace, is more enduring and more praiseworthy than the actions of Paris woman who had donated their jewelry in time of war. Dear readers Among the women we are pious, devout woman who is known in history by the name of Rabi `ah` Adawiah. Among the string of sentences munajatnya to Allah SWT that he recite in worship is eternal sentences are: "Oh God, I pray to you not because of fear of hellfire to you, also not because of thy hope of heaven. But I do it because you have the right to be worshiped. " And he often hummed sha `ir this: I love You with two love: love lust And love because You are worthy to be loved So, why we can not reach the height of greatness of soul and attitude of altruism and sacrifice as that achieved by Rabi `ah` Adawiyah; that we do good simply because it is good, and for the common man, by not expecting praise and reward them , but we do it solely because of Allah SWT?. Why do we not do good to our brothers, our neighbors and all mankind, we remember their needs before our needs, and their interests before the interests of us, without waiting for pay and reward? O people, always remember Allah SWT says the following: "And they give food he likes to the poor, orphans and people are taken prisoner. Verily, We give food to you just to expect the pleasure of Allah, we do not want a reply from you, nor (greeting) thank you. "(Al-Insaan: 8-9)
