"Where are you bro??? my flight's tomorrow... I want to see you..."
Hari ini hari terakhir beliau di bumi Malaysia... berbual panjang dengannya sungguh menambahkan ilmu dan iman... seorang hafiz Quran... Dia bukan sekadar seorang sahabat pada saya... dikala lapang kadangkala beliau mengajarkan saya bahasa Arab dan ilmu al Quran... seorang mua'lim dan seorang guru yang hebat. Atur katanya lembut, bicaranya penuh hikmah.... Disebalik warna kulitnya yang gelap, tersimpan hati yang putih bersih... mengingatkan saya pada Bilal bin Rabah....
Saya terdiam... dia menyambung lagi kata-katanya dengan sebuah cerita...
"You know bro... once upon a time, there was a man... He has everything in his life... wealthy, family...everything.... but he never felt happy... So he decided to travel around the world to find the meaning of happiness.... he traveled to many countries and met so many people, yet he still couldn't get the answer... to make it short, one day he arrived in land of wisdom.... China.... There, he met an old wise man.... He asked the same question to the old man... "Tell me the meaning of happiness...."... The old man said, "If you want to know the answer, you have to do this..." while giving the man a spoon with two drops of oil on it. "Now, bring along this two drops of oil around my house, and come back here when you've done...."
When the man arrived, the old man asked him these questions...." did you see, the big garden next to my house???"....he replied..."no...."
"Did you see, a beautiful column in in the middle of this house...?"...the man said "no"....
"Did you see a fountain in front of my house.... there are two beautiful golden fish in the pond.... did you see it?"...again, the man said "no...I didn't... now, tell me the meaning of happiness... "
The old wise man come closed to the young man and put his hand on his shoulder... "young man... sometimes we are too busy with small things until we forget every single blessing and happiness that God have had created and gave to us... happiness comes when you know ho to appreciate on every single things that you have in life... you don't have to chase it.....open your eyes...open your heart... and let the happiness come..."
Nah... disinilah letaknya nilai syukur seorang insan.... bersyukur dengn apa yang ada... sungguh itu lah kunci kebahagiaan... sudah punya kerjaya, punya wang juga saudara... atau.... tidak punya itu semua.... namun pasti kita masih punya kehidupan daripadaNya... masih boleh bernafas dan terus menerus bersyukur beramal dan bertaubat kepadaNya....
Untuk diri saya....bimbang bersorak-sorak mengaku diri bersyukur.....padahal tiada usaha memperbaiki nilai syukur itu.... maka dustalah segala apa atas pengakuan itu...
Wahai Tuhan kami, ampunilah kiranya dosa kami, hapuskanlah catatan kesalahan kami, dan jika kami mati, sudi kiranya Tuhan....masukkan kami bersama orang-orang yang berbuat kebaikan...
Oh ya... sahabat saya tadi.....Perpisahan kami diiringi satu doa yang sangat panjang dari beliau... (saya masih belum boleh memahami keseluruhan doa itu.... tapi itu sudah cukup membuatkan saya gembira.... ya, gembira atas sebuah pertemuan yang pernah dimulakan suatu ketika dahulu....)
Saling bertanya khabar, memula bicara... saya kisahkan kebatasan saya dalam menjaga amal....tiada teman-teman, dan sibuk dengan kerjaya.... lemahnya insan, saya berkeluh dihadapan beliau... jawabnya ringkas..."
That is life... yet you must know how to appreciate what you have now..."
Saya terdiam... dia menyambung lagi kata-katanya dengan sebuah cerita...
