Perempuan Lagi

Salam Ramadhan. :) alhamdulillah..

2,3 hari asyik terfikir pasal mahalnya perempuan. Tak tahu lah kenapa. Mungkin suasana disekeliling dan keadaan dunia yg membuatkan diri ini terfikir. And at the same time teringat 1st sem kat UIAM Kuantan.

Lecturer Islamic Worldview yg humble, byk ilmu dan disegani, Dr Ibrahim Shogar pernah bercerita pasal perempuan ni nilainya macam ni. Oh ya, sebelum tu, Dr Ibrahim ni asal Sudan kalau tak silap, dah duduk lama dah Malaysia. Boleh faham Bahasa Melayu. Seorang hafiz. And beliau pakai kereta Proton Wira!! Colour maroon. (dah dah. Detail sgt ni)

Ok, bayangkan ya beliau terangkan siap gaya sume, and in English of course.

Perempuan ni macam barang kemas, berlian etc yg kita letak dalam tangan and tutup dgn kedua2 tangan. Tutup taknak bagi orang tengok. Kalau nak tengok pun, orang mungkin akan tgk sikit2. dapat tgk pun sikit2 je. Sikit sgt. Pastu dah. Tak tgk dah, sbb tertutup kemas dan tak boleh bukak.

Lebih kurang mcm tu..

Ada kata2 yg mengatakan muslimah solehah itu tidak memandang dan tidak dipandang.

Em jap, tak memandang? Ada masalah penglihatan ke?

Oh tidak. Muslimah solehah itu menjaga pandangannya..

Em, satu lagi. Tak dipandang? Pakai invisibility cloak kah?

Oh tidak. Disebabkan keadaan zaman sekarang yg suka melihat manusia berpakaian terdedah, (akibat nafsu dll) maka muslimah solehah yg tertutup auratnya itu sudah tidak dipandang kerana 'kepelikan' cara berpakaiannya.

Menjadi muslimah solehah yg sejati itu haruslah solehah luar dan dalam. *masih mencuba!*. what you portray on the outside must somehow complement with what's inside. For example, kalau org tanya, "why do you cover up your aurah?". (I admire the level of curiosity that non-muslims have). Are we going to simply answer by saying, "Well, my religion orders me to do so and my friends and family are all wearing it, so I guess I just have to do it too."

Yes, my religion orders me to do so. True, but to me some people don't easily buy that. They'll be confuse by thinking that, "Yes, I understand that your religion orders you to do so. But why do you choose to do it? Does it give you any benefit?". They will also say that you just merely follow without reason.

Well, we can try to answer by saying that, "my religion orders me to do so in order to protect me. And by covering up my aurah, it acts as a symbol for me to take care of myself, abstain myself from doing things that are not in line with what Allah permits. Sort of as a barrier." Wallahu'alam. Jawapan ini mgkn bkn jawapan yg terbaik.

Kadang2 kita tak tahu kenapa kita buat sesuatu perkara tu. Kita buat sebab kita kata, "Well, ikut ajelah current tu. Org msuk U, kita pun masuk la." Ini berbalik pula pada isu matlamat yg sy pernah sebut dalam satu post dulu. Know your purpose of being here on earth, then you will know that you have something to do (lots to do!) on earth.

So, boleh mula dari sekarang. Jom, sama2 baiki diri. Bak kata short film, "Aku Juga Syg Rasul", kita memang tak sempurna, tp kita boleh mencontohi yg sempurna : Rasulullah SAW. ^_^
