The virtue of caring for the sick.

There was a woman complained that her husband sickly only troublesome (difficult) themselves and their families, he complained of prolonged sick husband, paralyzed and can no longer make a living just difficult for the families who are still alive, Nauzubillahiminzalik.

Ketauhilah the mother, or at any party, either a father a child, brother, and other relatives, as well as the sick neighbors.

The pain is one of the unfortunate who has been ordained by God in the book: "Lawh Mahfuz".

Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam said: "Allaah has set all the destiny of all creatures from fifty thousand years before God created the heavens and the earth". (HR. Muslim, no. 2653).

"No misfortune can happen on earth and (nor) in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book (Lawh Mahfuz) before We bring it. Verily it is easy for Allah ". (QS. Al-Hadid: 22).

So we humans can not resist this Alllah destiny. Anyway unfortunate illness is a form of love of God in both his servants to take care of the sick or, if the patient will delete them their sins and earn great rewards for those who take care of.

Also the pain is an accelerated form of disaster doom for the sick, so doom no longer be in the hereafter. So pain is a gift of God who wants to raise the degree of the patient.

As for the nurse (caregiver) for one time he drove the sick to the hospital, equal and better reward than the reward itikab in the mosque for 1,000 days, so how big is the reward for the introduction.

I have a friend, his name pack Supri, just last year he retired from the Army Air Force (Air Force), supri pack has 17 years of dialysis (hemo dialysis / HD) in Hospital Halim Perdana Kusuma Esnawan Space, his wife drove him faithfully dialysis , home and away when it was still strong supri Mr. piggybacking his wife riding a motorcycle.

Until one day before Mr. supri died last month she still looks to deliver her husband, hopefully Mr. supri died in a state khusnul khotimah (sins erased).

So, if one knew the reward of helping the intent of others, greater equal daipahala itikab 1,000 days in the mosque, this proves we are in social life or our neighbors should not be ignored (do not care) the difficulty neighbors, visit the sick, the angels penengok will accompany the order given goodness, is also a great reward. If man knew how much reward, especially the angels with those who were to visit the sick, the hospital will certainly filled with people who visit.

PATIENT EXAM ON FACE

Know, the trials and tribulations in the world is a necessity, anyone can not be separated from it. In fact, that's colorful life. Patience in the face of trials and tribulations is a sign of truth and honesty of one's faith in Allah

Indeed, the trials and tribulations that come repeatedly hit human life is a provision that has been established by God Almighty. None of us were able to block the provision.

Faith, belief, resignation and patience is very strong we really need in the face of temptation storm that hit. So do not make ourselves prejudice to Allah SWT for His provision Segla.

Therefore, under any circumstances, our faithful slave to God must always kind thought to God. And must be believed that God does not degrade various calamities but as a test of faith that we have. God as tertulisa in his words: "Do you think that you will enter into heaven, but have not come to you (trials) as well as those who passed away before you? They are overwritten by the calamity and misery, and shaken (by various shocks) that said the Messenger and those who were with him: When will come the help of God? Remember God's help is very close indeed. "(QS. Al-Baqarah: 214)

Patience is a case that is deeply loved by God and desperately needed a Muslim in the exam or her ordeal. As in his words: "... Allah loves those who are patient." (QS. Al 'Imran: 146)

Various Kinds of Patience

Ibn Qoyyim said in Madarijus Salikin: "Patience is a mental hold of complaints and angry, oral hold of complaining and hold the limbs of doing tasywisy (not straight). Patience there are three kinds, namely patient in doing obedience to God, impatient of immorality, and patience from the ordeal of God. "

Therefore the patient is divided into three levels:

1. Tolerance of leaving disobedience fearing the threat of God, we must always be in the faith and leave matters that are forbidden. Better still is, patient embarrassment of leaving disobedience to God. If we are able muraqabah (believed and felt God was looking and watching us) then we ought to be ashamed do immoral, because we realize that God always see what we are doing. As stated in his word, in Surah Al Hadid paragraph 4 "........ And He is with you wherever you are. And Allah is All-Seer of what you do "

2. The second level is the impatient patient in performing obedience to Allah, by continually implement, maintain sincerity in doing it and fix it. In carrying obedience, the goal just to be accepted deeds that Allah, sincere purpose solely because of Allah.

There are Some Things That Will Lead A Servant To Can Patient Facing Trials and Trials, as following:

1. Should we contemplate the sins we have committed. And God inflicting exam or calamities may be due to our sins. As the word of God: "And what are the calamities that befall you then is caused by what your own hands, and God forgive most (of mistakes)." (Ash-Shura: 30).

When a servant realizes that the calamities that befall caused by his sins. Then he will have to repent and ask God to forgive the sins of which he has done

And the Prophet Muhammad said: "No Muslim can overwrite thorn punctures such interference or heavier thereof, but the test was God eliminate bad behavior and abort his sins as a tree drops its leaves." (Bukhari and Muslim). So test and trial, could as penggugur our sins and also to elevate us to a higher degree of faith.

2 .. We must believe with absolutely convinced that God is always with us. And God has given assurance to us in Surah Al Baqarah verse 286, that "God will not burden a person but according to his ability. And the God of love and pleasure to those who wait. As confirmed in his words as follows: Allah and be patient with those who are patient. (Surat al-Anfal: 46) And His words: "... And God loves those who are patient." (QS.Al Imran: 146)

Be patient, we will see how close spaciousness

Whoever muraqabah (being watched) of God in the whole affair, he will be a servant of God who is patient and managed through any exam in her life. Patience is obtained, based on the guidance of Allah in the Qur'an, Surah At Thur verse 48: And be patient in waiting for the provision of your Lord, verily you are in Our sight, and celebrate the praises of your Lord when you rise up "

And know that the one who expects God, then God will be there where he expected.

3. We must know that if we are patient, it will bring the pleasure of Allah, because the pleasure of Allah, contained in our patience, for all examinations and conditions of his destiny, the less we like.

The virtue of Patience

Patience has a high standing in the noble religion of Islam. Therefore, Al Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said that the patient half of faith and the other half is gratitude. More specifically, will describe some of the ash-shabr mention in the Qur'an with a brief description as follows:

1. Patience is a command from the Lord of the Most Noble Noble

Allah says: "O you who believe, teach patience and prayers as penolongmu, verily Allah is with those who patiently, .." (QS. Al-Baqarah: 153)

in another verse Allah says: "O ye who believe, be patient and strengthen your patience, .. ..." (QS.Ali Imran: 200)

Context (content) of the second paragraph above explains that the patient is a command from Allah. Patience including worship of worship which God appointed for His servants. Moreover, Allah strengthened the wait command in the second paragraph. Anyone who fulfill that obligation, meaning he has occupied a high degree of Allah SWT

2. Praise Allah Against People wait

Allah praised them as people who are true in faith. As his words: "... .. and people who wait in cramped, suffering and in war. They are the true (faith). And they are the ones who fear Allah. "(QS. Al-Baqarah: 177)

In the book Madarijus Salikin 2/152 Al Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, points out that this verse as many found in the Qur'an. So the existence of patience in dealing with the trials and tribulations of God is actually a barometer of faith and devotion to God Almighty.

3. Got the love of Allah

All believers hope to be among those who are loved by God. And Allah informs His servants that the group who received His love are people who wait for the trials and tribulations of his. As confirmed in his word

"... ....., And God is love / loved ones patience." (QS. Al 'Imran: 146)

.And God is always with those who are patient, as written in his words: "... .. ... and be patient, Allah is with those who patiently." (QS. Al-Anfal: 46)

What is meant by God with those who are patient care and help of Allah is always with those who are patient. As also explained in the following hadith:

"Know ye! Bahwasannya the arrival of aid along with patience. "(HR. At Tirmidhi, of the companions of Ibn 'Abbas)

4 .. segue, Grace and Patience People Together Hidayah

Allah SWT always pour blessings, His grace and guidance to those who wait. Because if they are overwritten trials and tribulations of their God affairs return to the Creator, who have it.

The great virtue of a patient man is told by God in His Word disurah Al Baqarah, verse 156-157: "people who, when misfortune befalls, they say:" Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi raajiuun (esungguhnya we are owned God and unto Him we reverted). They are the perfect get blessed and mercy from their Lord, and they are the ones that receive guidance. "

On this basis, when a misfortune befalls us both large and small, it is recommended to say this sentence, and this is called the sentence istirja '(statement back to Allah). Istirja sentence 'would be perfect again if added after the king's prayer taught by the Prophet as follows: "O Allah, give reward for the disaster that happened to me and replace the disaster better for me."

Anyone who reads the words istirja 'and pray with a prayer on top of Allah SWTakan replace the disaster that happened to him with something better. (Hadith narrated by al Imam Muslim 3/918 of shahabiyah Umm Salamah.)

Once Umm Salamah left her husband Abu Salamah who was martyred in the battle (jihad). Then he made this prayer, so that God fulfilled His promise to provide companion (mate) for him with the best of companions that the Prophet. Verily Allah will not deny His promise.

5 .. Getting Better reward of deeds

Allah give reward to those who patiently exceed business or practice which he did. As his word:

"...... But if you are patient, that's actually better for those who are patient. "(An-Nahl: 126)

In another verse, Allah promised to provide reassurance to the patient with a reward without measure (indefinitely). As his words: "Say: 'O My servants who believe. Fear your Lord." People who do good in this world to obtain goodness. And God's earth is spacious. Only those who are patient who paid back their reward without limit. (Az-Zumar: 10)

6 .. Got Forgiveness From God

Besides Allah reward better than deeds to those who wait, God also gave forgiveness to them. As written in his words: "except those who are patient (disaster), and do good deeds; they would receive forgiveness and a great reward ". (Hud: 11)

Of Aisha, he said: "The Messenger of Allah said:" No calamity befalls a Muslim, but Allah has removed the sin of the tragedy. Although the accident is pricks himself. "(HR. Al-Bukhari no. 3405 and Muslim 140-141 / 1062)

7 .. Got High Dignity In The Heaven

Greater boon for those who are patient is entitled to a high dignity in Heaven. Allah says: "Those are the ones who will be rewarded with high dignity (in heaven) because of their patience and they were greeted with respect and congratulations on it. (Al Furqaan: 75)

8 .. Patience is the Best Way

All the above description indicates that the patient is the best way for anyone who wants the good of the world and the afterlife.

Suhaib bin Sinan Companions of the Messenger of Allah said:

"It's amazing the affairs of the believers, indeed all his affairs for him, that thus it is not owned by anyone except a believer. If it gets good (then) he was grateful, then that is good for him, and if evil befall him (then) he is patient, then it is good for him. "(HR. Muslim)

Each practice will be known reward except patience, because it rewards patience, without limit. As the word of God "Those who are patient who paid back reward / reward them indefinitely." (Az-Zumar: 10)

Let us ponder, are we not always able to be patient in receiving his exam in the form of delicious life? Mkaa should we also have to be patient in accepting his unjian be losing favor of life, so to speak, do not want to receive any nice meals.

So we should be able to be patient in the face of all kinds of trials

in our lives, especially when we know the great virtue that God has promised to His servants the patient.
