Don't takes things easy or simple

Don't takes things easy or simple !!!!!!!!!!!!

is this right for the translation of jangan ambil mudah:


this is for my understanding to berserah to Allah the AlMighty...

========================================================

Apabila kita ambil mudah, kita akan berasa seolah-olah kita berserah tetapi tidak. Ambil mudah bermakna kita hanya menerima KETENTUAN Allah SWT TETAPI TIDAK mengikut KETETAPAN Allah SWT.

Sebagai contoh. Jika kita ditakdirkan kaya, kita dikatakan ambil mudah jika kita hanya menerima ketentuan kaya TETAPI TIDAK mengikut ketetapan kaya. Apakah ketetapan kaya?

Allah SWT menetapkan mereka yang kaya perlu berzakat, banyakkan derma, bantu anak-anak yatim dan mereka yang miskin. Banyak lagi ketetapan yang Allah tetapkan untuk mereka yang kaya.

Begitu juga dengan yang miskin. Kita menerima ketentuan kemiskinan yang Allah berikan tetapi kita perlu mengikut ketetapan Allah SWT. KetetapanNya adalah kita kena keluar daripada kemiskinan kerana kemiskinan mampu membawa kita kepada kekufuran. Islam melarang umatnya miskin. Jika kita tetap miskin, kita juga mesti tetap terus berusaha dengan sabar dan solat.

Sama juga halnya dengan kepandaian. Jika kita ditakdirkan pandai kita mestilah menerimanya disamping mengikut ketentuan yang ditetapkan Allah ke atas orang yang pandai. Orang yang pandai ditetapkan untuk memberi ilmu kepada orang yang tidak berilmu (zakat ilmu). Orang yang pandai tidak boleh sombong, bongkak, ego, riak, bangga diri dan sebagainya. Inilah ketetapan untuk mereka yang pandai.

Orang yang bodoh juga wajib menerima ketentuan yang dia adalah orang yang bodoh. Dia juga perlu mengikut ketetapan Allah SWT iaitu mestilah menuntut ilmu agar keluar daripada kebodohan.

Jika dia tidak menerima ketentuan dia adalah orang bodoh, dia dikatakan bodoh sombong. Jika dia menerima ketentuan yang dia adalah orang bodoh tetapi tidak mahu mengikut ketetapan Allah SWT, dia akan terus bodoh sehingga bila-bila dan Islam amat melarang keras umatnya menjadi manusia yang bodoh atau jahil. Kerana itu menuntut ilmu itu adalah wajib.

***

Kesimpulan

Berserah itu bersifat aktif kerana sebagai khalifah iaitu wakil Allah SWT, manusia mestilah aktif untuk mentadbir alam ini. Berserah ini menenangkan kerana kita hanya melakukan apa yang terdaya dan segalanya terserah kepada Allah SWT yang Maha Mengkehendaki.

Tarikan atau kehendak Allah SWT adalah kehendak yang Maha Kuat. Tiada satu pun makhluk ciptaan Allah SWT yang mampu melawan tarikan Allah SWT. Jika kita berkehendak berlawanan dengan kehendak Allah SWT, kita tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa melainkan berdoa pada Allah SWT. Namun keputusan yang hak adalah atas keputusan Allah SWT. Kita menerima sahaja kehendak Allah SWT.

Oleh itu setelah kita katakan kita berserah pada Allah SWT, mengapa kita GELISAH memikirkan keputusan Allah SWT yang bakal terjadi? Serahkan sahaja dan kita tidak perlu lagi memikirkannya. Allah SWT Maha Mengetahui yang terbaik untuk diri kita. Makanya kita lakukan apa sahaja ketetapan yang Allah SWT tetapkan pada kita.

Jalanilah kehidupan ini dengan benar-benar berserah 100%. Komunikasi dengan Allah SWT mampu membuatkan kehendak kita mengikut kehendak Allah SWT (berserah) dan seterusnya menghilangkan rasa gelisah di dalam jiwa.

Semua ini perlu dilatih sedikit demi sedikit. Hari demi hari. Berlatihlah dengan latihan-latihan yang saya berikan di dalam laman web ini.

this is positif thinking as i believe in

positive input will turns out to be positive output:

hmmmm I/O = input & output.............

* Manusia itu dianalogikan seperti sebuah kereta yang dipandu pemandu dan membawa seorang bos di belakangnya. Kereta itu sendiri adalah jasad yang berfikiran dan beremosi (banyak ragam). Pemandunya adalah jiwa/nafs/ego dan bosnya sebagai penentu arah adalah roh yang sentiasa menentukan arah yang dituju mesti ke Allah SWT. Makanya pemandu mestilah memandu mengikut kehendak bos. Bukan kehendak kereta.
* Al-Quran itu manual untuk manusia hidup di muka bumi ini. Seperti kereta pasti ada manual. Kereta tidak boleh langgar lubang. Nanti rosak tayar. Begitu juga manusia. Tidak boleh minum arak. Nanti rosakkan jasad. Kereta kena jaga, basuh, tukar minyak enjin. Begitu juga manusia. Kena tutup aurat, solat, jaga akhlak dan lain-lain. Semua dijelaskan dlm Al-Quran. Allah buatkan manual manusia kerana Allah Maha Mengetahui ciptaanNya. Tahu mana yang boleh merosakkan dan mana yang boleh memelihara jasad dan jiwa manusia.
* Seseorang ingin penjelasan mudah untuk berserah. Di harap ini penjelasan yg mudah. Berserah itu menerima KETENTUAN dan dalam masa yang sama mengikut KETETAPAN Allah SWT. Cth: Katalah kita ini hidup susah. Maka kita tidak menyalahkan Allah menjadikan hidup kita susah (kita terima KETENTUAN hidup susah) dan dlm masa yang sama kita kena berusaha untuk hidup senang kerana Allah SWT tidak suka kita hidup dalam kemiskinan (KETETAPAN).
* Merdekakan jiwa kita untuk kembali kepada fitrah. Semoga sebulan latihan ramadhan akan memberikan kejayaan kemerdekaan yang penuh bermakna iaitu memiliki jiwa yang sejati. Ayuh, tekadkan jiwa untuk dekat dengan Allah SWT, bertaubat, tinggalkan maksiat, taat perintah Allah dan tebarkan kebaikan serta manafaat kepada semua orang. Semoga kita memiliki dan merasai kemerdekaan yang sejati. Salam kemerdekaan.
* Apa jua persoalan, minta sama Allah. “Sesungguhnya petunjuk Allah itulah petunjuk (yang benar).” (Al Baqarah 2 : 120).
* GELISAH itu SEKSAAN Allah SWT pada mereka yang tidak beriman. Mengapa gelisah terjadi? Kerana seseorang tidak REDHA/BERSERAH/PASRAH/RELA dengan ketentuan Allah SWT. “Hati itu milik kita, tetapi kita tidak mampu mencabut rasa GELISAH daripada hati kita. Itulah SEKSAAN Allah SWT kepada hati orang yang tidak beriman.“
* Apabila kita gelisah, buntu, keliru, sakit hati, benci, marah dan seumpamanya, cubalah panggil Allah dengan suara yang perlahan. “Ya Allah…” kemudian diam dan rasailah respon daripada Allah SWT. InshaAllah jiwa akan tenang. Ulangi terus.
* Semakin Tinggi, Semakin Ringan. Pucuk dari sebuah pohon lebih ringan daripada yang lain. Burung yang terbang tinggi lebih ringan daripada burung yang terbang rendah. Bos (jawatan tinggi) hanya duduk di dalam kereta yg dipandu pemandu untuk lebih ringan ke pejabat. Tidak sekadar fizikal, malah batin juga. KESEDARAN YANG TERTINGGI terasa lebih ringan berbanding kesedaran yang rendah apatah lagi tidak sedar. Milikilah kesedaran tertinggi.

Positive Thinking For Kids

We all want our children to have the best in life and that includes having a positive mental attitude and a sense of empowerment, yet children are rarely given the opportunity to learn how to acquire these skills. Knowing how to release negative thinking patterns and make use of mind skills such as visualization techniques, affirmations and positive self-talk are all skills that can be easily learnt but they do need to be taught.

If you would like to help your child develop a more positive mental attitude, then helping them to improve their self talk is one of the most valuable things you can do, and is an important step along the way to maintaining a positive and healthy self-image.

Using positive statements such as affirmations is one of the simplest and easiest ways to help your child make these changes and there are lots of ways of making this fun for all the family to do.

Yet research has shown that just repeating an affirmation again and again will only be about 10% effective overall, better than nothing but not really good enough. The trick to making affirmations really effective is to add very vivid and colourful imagery to your affirmation whilst holding an image of success in your mind. Then with repetition, over time, it is known to become at least 70% effective. This is because the right side of our brain tends to process information in the form of pictures rather than in a linear way and of course we need to use both side of our brain equally to be really effective.

The best news of all though, is that if you encourage your child to repeat their affirmation regularly (over a period of a couple of weeks is ideal) with lots of vivid imagery, making sure that what is being affirmed is also specific, measurable, and entirely positive and then add the feeling of success to that, it becomes 100% effective. In other words the mind assumes that what it is experiencing is real. Think about it for a moment, there are lots of examples of how this works in our everyday life. Advertisers use this knowledge all the time and it's also one of the most common ways that our fears and phobias are created too.

One of the best things about affirmations is that they simple to create and can be used in all sorts of fun and imaginative ways. For example, if your child is struggling with their spelling you could help them come up with a simple affirmation such as "I'm improving my spelling every day"

Affirmations can be adapted to any age group and can be used in many creative ways to give your child's self esteem a gentle boost throughout the day.

Here are some ideas to get you going:

• Help your child to write or draw their affirmation on brightly coloured card and display it somewhere obvious.

• Write out a new affirmation each day and hide it somewhere where they will find it later such as in their lunch box or under their pillow.

• Leave a message on your child's mobile phone (if they are old enough to have one) reminding them to think positive thoughts.

• Make up a song or rhyme with your favourite affirmation.

There are endless ways you can make these techniques fun. So let yourself be creative and make up your own list of simple ways to remind your child of their natural brilliance. They are bound to delight in your encouragement and support.

Positive Thinking Your Key to Success

Positive thinking brings inner peace, success, improved relationships, better health, happiness and satisfaction. It also helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly, and makes life look bright and promising.

Positive thinking is contagious. People around you pick your mental moods and are affected accordingly. Think about happiness, good health and success, and you will cause people to like you and desire to help you, because they enjoy the vibrations that a positive mind emits.

The Power of Positive Thinking

by Remez Sasson

Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.

Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others scoff at people who believe and accept it. Among the people who accept it, not many know how to use it effectively to get results. Yet, it seems that many are becoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it. This is a subject that is gaining popularity.

It is quite common to hear people say: "Think positive!", to someone who feels down and worried. Most people do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what they really mean, or do not consider them as useful and effective. How many people do you know, who stop to think what the power of positive thinking means?

The following story illustrates how this power works:
Allan applied for a new job, but as his self-esteem was low, and he considered himself as a failure and unworthy of success, he was sure that he was not going to get the job. He had a negative attitude towards himself, and believed that the other applicants were better and more qualified than him. Allan manifested this attitude, due to his negative past experiences with job interviews.

His mind was filled with negative thoughts and fears concerning the job for the whole week before the job interview. He was sure he would be rejected. On the day of the interview he got up late, and to his horror he discovered that the shirt he had planned to wear was dirty, and the other one needed ironing. As it was already too late, he went out wearing a shirt full of wrinkles.

During the interview he was tense, displayed a negative attitude, worried about his shirt, and felt hungry because he did not have enough time to eat breakfast. All this distracted his mind and made it difficult for him to focus on the interview. His overall behavior made a bad impression, and consequently he materialized his fear and did not get the job.

Jim applied for the same job too, but approached the matter in a different way. He was sure that he was going to get the job. During the week preceding the interview he often visualized himself making a good impression and getting the job.

In the evening before the interview he prepared the clothes he was going to wear, and went to sleep a little earlier. On day of the interview he woke up earlier than usual, and had ample time to eat breakfast, and then to arrive to the interview before the scheduled time.

He got the job because he made a good impression. He had also of course, the proper qualifications for the job, but so had Allan.

What do we learn from these two stories? Is there any magic employed here? No, it is all natural. When the attitude is positive we entertain pleasant feelings and constructive images, and see in our mind's eye what we really want to happen. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy and happiness. The whole being broadcasts good will, happiness and success. Even the health is affected in a beneficial way. We walk tall and the voice is more powerful. Our body language shows the way you feel inside.

Positive and negative thinking are both contagious.
All of us affect, in one way or another, the people we meet. This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through thoughts and feelings transference, and through body language. People sense our aura and are affected by our thoughts, and vice versa. Is it any wonder that we want to be around positive people and avoid negative ones? People are more disposed to help us if we are positive, and they dislike and avoid anyone broadcasting negativity.

Negative thoughts, words and attitude bring up negative and unhappy moods and actions. When the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.

Practical Instructions

In order to turn the mind toward the positive, inner work and training are required. Attitude and thoughts do not change overnight.

Read about this subject, think about its benefits and persuade yourself to try it. The power of thoughts is a mighty power that is always shaping our life. This shaping is usually done subconsciously, but it is possible to make the process a conscious one. Even if the idea seems strange give it a try, as you have nothing to lose, but only to gain. Ignore what others might say or think about you, if they discover that you are changing the way you think.

Always visualize only favorable and beneficial situations. Use positive words in your inner dialogues or when talking with others. Smile a little more, as this helps to think positively. Disregard any feelings of laziness or a desire to quit. If you persevere, you will transform the way your mind thinks.

Once a negative thought enters your mind, you have to be aware of it and endeavor to replace it with a constructive one. The negative thought will try again to enter your mind, and then you have to replace it again with a positive one. It is as if there are two pictures in front of you, and you choose to look at one of them and disregard the other. Persistence will eventually teach your mind to think positively and ignore negative thoughts.

In case you feel any inner resistance when replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, do not give up, but keep looking only at the beneficial, good and happy thoughts in your mind.

It does not matter what your circumstances are at the present moment. Think positively, expect only favorable results and situations, and circumstances will change accordingly. It may take some time for the changes to take place, but eventually they do.

Another method to employ is the repetition of affirmations. It is a method which resembles creative visualization, and which can be used in conjunction with it. It is the subject of another article on this website.

The other articles at this website, about the power of concentration, will power, self-discipline and peace of mind also contribute to the development of a positive mind, and are recommended for reading and practicing.
