Even if a country's population and pious believers, surely we will delegate to them the blessings of heaven and earth, but they belied (the verses of Us), then We seized them for their actions. [QS. Al A'raaf 96]
My brother, God has promised to believers and devoted to their welfare that the abundance of blessings from heaven and earth. But, unfortunately, we often neglect to our faith and piety.
Quite often, we break away from the rules of God when on the move in this life. Impact, life is narrow. Rich people among us do not feel safe with the abundance of God's test of wealth, while the poor people among us do not test God's patience with the lack of their wealth.
Here are some stories, which hopefully, encourages us to get closer to God. That approach Him with the stipulation of duty, reproduce Sunnah practices and away from the futility of our lives in charity.
Sharing with God
Vent ... it says the young kids today. Whatever the terminology, the only God who deserves to be told on the weight of this life. And God has given answers on how to complain to him ...
And ask for help (to Allah) with the patient and (do) prayer. And so it was really really hard, except for those who humble [QS. Al Baqoroh: 45]
"Not feeling the need for prayer ... Later one day, I'd pray", so says a friend of my job - Andi Muhammad mention his name (the original Muhammadnya, Andi pseudonym) - in Bandung in 1999. This my friend is always making needed / not needed as the size of the implementation of activities, including prayer.
Soon after, God determines we should split up. Brenda chose to work in a software house in South Korea. After about two months, in an e-mail (electronic mail), Andi told me, "Unbelievable, man of this nation (Korea, I mean). Every working day, after many hai hai at the beginning of the office after working all day. Recess they fill the jobs. No nyantainya. Like horses. Eh, seems more appropriate machine. His horse was tired.
But I feel ... emang sih duitnya much work here, but ... stress the cooperation of people here. No human, even to prayer must steal, steal time. "Then I reply to an e-mail to Andi," I feel need prayer Ndi? "He replied," At first to whom I share, they (the Koreans) is almost hard to smile, to you most also by e-mail and wrote it together with the computer vent. So, I remember the advice was wasta'inuu bus shobri your prayers first. I'm looking through the internet instructions how to pray, right kusempatkan weekend to search for al qur'an, I even al qur'an software message on the internet.
Prayer human needs, because he was the servant of God. You know? Now, I again learned how to be a wife Sholihah. Half of religion he says! You can help me? "In my heart, I replied," Stock's much ... . "
When faced with an unfriendly atmosphere, Andi share with God about the difficulties of his life. Even more than that, he found the essence of creation itself, which is menghamba to God. If Brenda can find it, I'm sure you can find the beauty of worship as a servant of God.

Material strength is the power of human beings based solely on physical strength, whether it be weapons, the amount or muscular body. Islamic history shows the power of the main strengths ruhiyyah become Muslims. Here's a story ...
Sultan Muhammad Al Fatih have a very strong desire to conquer Constantinople (Byzantium). He believes that this conquest would not only strengthen the Muslim da'wah in continental Europe, but also as proof of the promise of the Prophet. Heraclius country would surrender at the hands of the Muslims. Mission is no easy task.
Byzantium was known to have the world's strongest defense. Fort sturdy and can not be attacked from the sea due to obstructed with iron chains are also strong. None of the warships that could approach the Byzantine fortress. To achieve that desire day and night with the general Muslims, the Sultan designing large-scale attacks to Byzantium.

When the castle finally fell into the hands of the Muslims, he set foot into the middle of town and read the hadith of the Prophet. "The best leader is the leader, and the best of the army troops."
There are no ideals that human beings can be achieved without hard work. Slightest. And no one can stop people when preceded by a will, accompanied by hard work, and expect ridla Allah. Sultan Muhammad Al Fatih membuktikannnya. Not only achieved success, more than that, God is pleased for him ... The beauty of living with Islam.
And ... in large-Man Become Muslim Bondonglah
Often Muslims currently deluded. Islamic Shari'ah cruel, inhuman, so not-worth today. Muslims fooled, because the expression on their minds is the sanctions horrible. Not-understood at all how careful the Prophet and the Companions and the qadli during Islamic rule as to impose sanctions and often forgotten population goals syari'atan these sanctions. Here's the story of the Islamic justice system that led to the entry of people of the land of Samarkand
After the fall of the Islamic state through Saamarkand fold Qutaybah ibn Muslim Commander, Saamarkand monks who did not like, through a representative, complained to the commander of Mu'minin, Caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz. The reason, the Commander of the war without giving the option and proselytizing has been attacked and conquered them. Deputies received a messenger, and ditulislah letter to the Governor Saamarkand to hold court.
Saamarkand monks when knowing the contents of the letter directly Deputies pale, dawn of hope vanished. They thought it was a fair king who had decided everything and defend them. It turned out that there is only a trial.
Is there any meaning of a court, as an institution of justice, if the wheels run strong hand and the accused parties to justice. Is there any justice, is there any hope of winning?
Finally came the day trial. All parties are ready. Sitting cross-legged, in the middle, Hadlir bin qadli Jami al Baji, selected by the governor. Pusillanimous qadli monks looked thin, pale-faced and turban worn, there was no hope of winning look that seems weak qadli also governor choice, choice of defendants. Governor and chairman of monks called his name without the frills by helper qadli to face.
"What do you complain?", Asked the chief monk qadli, with a firm voice. Indeed Commander Qutaybah our country has been annexed, he took it without giving a choice or proselytizing in our first ". Qadli turned to the governor as he asked, "How do you respond? Do you offer first 3 choices; converted to Islam, pay jizya, or war? ".
"No", replied the governor. "Then you have been admitted", said qadli. "Surely God is giving victory to this Ummah if they follow God and the Apostles and away from betrayal of anyone. By God we are out of their homes just for one purpose: Jihad fi Sabilillah. We are not out to conquer the world with a false way. So I decided: the Muslims must leave the country, after which the Muslims had invited them to Islam, if they refuse to pay the jizya and their safety is guaranteed, if it still refuses maklumatkanlah war ".
Monks Saamarkand half believe, like a dream to hear the decision qadli authoritative thin. They stared, stunned when the trumpet sounds Muslim troops will soon leave their country. They imagine their narrow world, Dad, full of cunning, and fraud, are Islamic world wide, lush, vibrant, beautiful with justice, glory and obedience to the law of God. What could be proud of their dark world and silence? Doubt very chest stab Saamarkand monks.
"How do you say when the troops of the Muslims back again?", Asked the head monk of the population. Without waiting for the question is repeated in unison they replied, "We will enter the great Islamic and full justice". They prevent the departure of the Muslim army and hopes of the Muslims to help them to develop the country Saamarkand and illuminated by the light of Islam. Islamic justice has truly shone their hearts.
This is dien, a straight, enforced by the value of "sky" is sublime, and up to that value. Victory, power is not the goal. Sabilillah is a way to uphold the value is not to uphold the influence and power. So violates justice, violating the rules of God and the Apostles to enforce Islamic samalah by building a mosque means of money gambling; never seen let alone human beings by God the All-Knowing every human Practice.
Justice Law of God. This is characteristic of Islamic morality and meyelamatkannya illuminate the heart of the narrowness and fear. Should apply even to people who we hate. To be fair not because he intended for people who we like, to fellow Muslims, but because he was a living value that must be realized both of friend or foe. An Islamic values which God sent down to guide Muslim life. That bright light emanating fair when people who we hate even receive justice from us. This is Islam, God's amazing dien.
In closing, it would suffice to God's promises and warnings to the Muslims as the word as follows ...
And Allah has promised those among you believe and work deeds of righteousness that He will indeed make them power on earth, as He made those before they come to power, and indeed He will strengthen you for their religion has been pleasing to Him for them, and He really will switch (state) they are, after they are in fear to be safe. They still worship Me with no associate anything with Aku.Dan any who (still) disbelievers after (promise), then they are the ones who rebel. [QS. An-Nur: 55]
May we include believers who hastened to the cause of God's promise fulfilled. Subhanallah.
