الجميع يفكر في تغيير العالم, ولكن لا أحد يفكر في تغيير نفسه
ليو تولستوي
semua orang - الجميع
berfikir - يفكر
mengubah - في تغيير
dunia - العالم
namun/tetapi - ولكن
tiada seorang - لا أحد
berfikir - يفكر
mengubah - في تغيير
dirinya - نفسه
Ini merupakan translation bahasa Arab sebuah kata-kata yang pernah dilontar sang pujangga daripada negara bekas Kesatuan Soviet.
Ketika sibuk dengan disertasi 10,000 patah, saya menerima sebuah email yang mengandungi slide di atas daripada Dr Habib Eatamadi , seorang doktor mata yang dahulunya bekerja di Queens' Medical Centre, Nottingham. Kini beliau sudah pulang semula ke Iran, namun katanya inshaAllah beliau akan kembali semula ke sini. InshaAllah berpisah tak gelisah ye Dr Habib!
Siapakah Tolstoy?
Beliau merupakah seorang penulis novel daripada Rusia. He subcribed to this idea of nonviolent resistance, something that I do personally belief in some ways, but from certain perspectives, I disagree with it (eg; the current situation in Palestine).
When I first read his quote;
I was like saying to myself;
InshaAllah a good Muslim should always do hisab on him or herself. This is part of tarbiyyah. As Ibn Umar used to say;
This is hadith number 40 from the Nawawi's 40 hadith.
Come on Muslimin. Time is running out for us.
This also reminds me of a popular quote from Hasan al-Hudaibi;

When I first read his quote;
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."
I was like saying to myself;
"Wait a minute Tolstoy, Muslims do!"
InshaAllah a good Muslim should always do hisab on him or herself. This is part of tarbiyyah. As Ibn Umar used to say;
"When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning,
and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening.
and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening.
This is hadith number 40 from the Nawawi's 40 hadith.
Come on Muslimin. Time is running out for us.
This also reminds me of a popular quote from Hasan al-Hudaibi;
“Tegakkan negara Islam itu dalam diri kamu, nescaya ia tertegak di tanah air kamu.”
MashaAllah, benar sekali. Tanpa menafikan usaha dakwah secara praktikal di bumi realiti, marilah sama-sama kita musahabah diri dari masa ke semasa. Duduk sebentar, dan bertawaquf, dan bertanya kepada diri kita " adakah ada amalan aku untuk dibawa bertemu Allah?" dan bertanya lagi "adakah amalan ini cantik di sisi Allah?"
"Tolstoy, if you can only see how Muslims are doing islah to themself......."
