HIHI NDIYO NJIA

HIHI NDIYO NJIA - Hatua Muhimu | Quran Course

Mafunzo aliyopewa na Mtume ﷺ yalikwenda sambamba na mafundisho ya Qur'ani, yakielekeza nyoyo zao na macho yao kuelekea Peponi, na kuelekea kuvumilia kwa subira katika kazi waliyopewa hadi Mungu atakapoamua lile analokusudia duniani pamoja na lile linalompendeza Akhera. Mtume ﷺ aliona ukali wa mateso yaliyomiminwa juu ya 'Ammar, baba yake na mama yake - Mungu awaridhie - lakini hakusema zaidi ya haya: "Subirini, enyi familia ya Yasir! Pepo imeahidiwa kwenu." Na Khabbab bin al-Aratt - Mungu amridhie - alisimulia: "Tulilalamika kwa Mtume wa Mungu ﷺ alipokuwa akipumzika kwenye kivuli cha Kaaba, tukisema, 'Kwa nini hutaki kumwomba Mungu atusaidie? Kwa nini hutuombei?' Ndipo akasema: 'Kabla yenu kulikuwa na watu ambao walikuwa wakimkamata mtu, wakimzika nusu katika shimo lililochimbwa ardhini, kisha wakiukata kichwa chake hadi kikapasuka vipande viwili; au walikuwa wakisuka kwa masega ya chuma kati ya nyama yake na mifupa yake; lakini hayo hayakumgeuza na dini yake. Naapa kwa Mungu! Mungu ataitimiza jambo hili, na itafika wakati ambapo mpanda farasi atapanda peke yake kutoka Sana'a hadi Hadhramaut, asiwe na hofu isipokuwa ya Mungu, au ya mbwa mwitu kwa kondoo wake; lakini ninyi mnaharakisha".(Bukhari)

The training by the Prophet- peace be on him - went side by side with the Qur'anic teachings, turning their hearts and eyes toward the Garden, and toward patiently persevering in their assigned task until God ordains what He intends in this world as well as what is pleasing to Him in the Hereafter The Prophet - peace be on him - saw the intensity of tortures heaped upon 'Ammar, his father and his mother - may God be pleased with them-but he said nothing more than this: "Patience, family of Yasir! The Garden is promised for you." And Khabbab bin al-Aratt-may God be pleased with him - reported: "We complained to the Messenger of God - peace be upon him -while he was resting in the shadow of Ka'aba, saying, 'Why do you not ask God to help us? Why do you not pray for us? Then he said: 'Before you, there were people who would catch a man, bury him halfway in a hole dug in the ground, then saw his head until it split in two; or would comb with iron combs between his flesh and bones; yet this would not turn him away from his religion. By God! God will bring this matter to completion, and a time will come when a rider will ride alone from Santa to Hadramut and he will have no fear except of God, or of a wolf against his sheep; but you people are in a hurry". (Bukhari)

Qur'ani ilikuwa ikiyaandaa mioyo iliyostahili kubeba amana ya kuwa wawakilishi wa Mwenyezi Mungu duniani. Ilikuwa ni lazima mioyo hii iwe imara, yenye nguvu na safi, ikiacha nyuma kila kitu na kuvumilia kila kitu kwa subira, isielekeze macho yake kwenye kitu chochote cha dunia hii, bali ielekee mbele kuelekea Akhera, isitafute chochote isipokuwa radhi ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na iwe tayari kupita katika njia ya maisha mpaka kufa katika umaskini, shida, kukatishwa tamaa, mateso na kujitolea mhanga. Hazikupaswa kutafuta malipo ya haraka duniani, iwe ni malipo ya ushindi wa Da'wah, kutawala kwa Uislamu, na utukufu wa Waislamu, au hata malipo haya yawe ni kuangamizwa kwa madhalimu, kama Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mwenye Enzi Zote alivyowashughulikia vizazi vilivyotangulia vya makafiri. Pale mioyo kama hiyo ilipopatikana, ambayo ilijua kwamba katika kipindi cha maisha haya hawatakuwa na matarajio yoyote, na kwamba uamuzi kati ya haki na batili utafanywa Akhera, pale mioyo kama hiyo ilipopatikana, na Mwenyezi Mungu akajua uadilifu wa nia zao kuhusu yale waliyoahidi, aliwapa ushindi duniani na kuwakabidhi amana hiyo. Amana hii haikuwa kwa manufaa yao, bali ili waweze kusimamisha mfumo wa Mwenyezi Mungu.

The Qur'an was creating hearts worthy of bearing the trust of being God's representatives on earth. It was necessary that these hearts be so solid, so strong and so pure, leaving behind everything and bearing everything patiently, as not to fix their sights on something of this earth, but looking beyond to the Hereafter, not seeking anything except the pleasure of God and being willing to traverse the path of life until death in poverty, difficulty, frustration, torment and sacrifice. They were not to seek any hasty reward on this earth, whether it was the reward of the victory of the Call, the dominance of Islam, and the glory of the Muslims, or even that this reward be the annihilation of the tyrants, as the All Mighty, the All Powerful had dealt with former generations of unbelievers. When such hearts were found which knew that during the course of this life they would have no expectations, and that the decision between the truth and falsehood would be made in the Hereafter-when such hearts were found, and God knew the sincerity of their intentions concerning which they had pledged, he gave them victory in the earth and bestowed upon them the trust. This trust was not for their benefit, but so that they might establish the Divine system.
