Assalamualaikum....
Sebuah cerita buat pembaca yang budiman....
Dan datanglah dari hujung kota seorang lelaki dengan bergegas-gegas. Dia berkata, "Wahai kaumku! Ikutlah utusan-utusan itu, ikutlah orang yang tiada meminta sesuatu balasan kepadamu dan mereka adalah orang2 yang mendapat petunjuk.
Mengapa tidak aku menyembah (Tuhan) yang menciptakan aku dan hanya kepada-Nya kamu dikembalikan? Mengapa aku akan menyembah tuhan-tuhan selain-Nya. Jika (Allah) Yang Maha Pemurah menghendaki kemudharatan terhadapku, syafaat mereka tidak memberi manfaat sedikit pun bagi diriku dan mereka tidak menyelamatkanku. Sesungguhnya aku, jika begitu, pasti dalam kesesatan yang nyata. Sesungguhnya kami telah beriman kepada Tuhanku, maka dengarkanlah (pengakuan keimanan)ku. Dikatakan kepadanya, "Masuklah ke syurga" Dia berkata, "Alangkah baiknya sekiranya kaumku mengetahui. Apa yang menyebabkan Tuhanku memberi ampun kepadaku dan menjadikan aku termasuk orang-orang yang dimuliakan.

Surah Yasin (Ayat 20-27)
Hati saya sangat tersentuh bila membaca tazkirah di atas di dalam website http://www.productivemuslim.com/ . Mmg benar isi tazkirah, ramai ummat Islam hari ini tidak mengambil peluang untuk memperkenalkan the beauty of Islam untuk orang Islam yang jauh dari Islam apatah lagi untuk orang bukan Islam. We choose to to stay comfortably at home and perform our ibadah (solat wajib,solat sunat, puasa) tapi we neglect people around us. We should ask them to know more about Islam and to perform their duties as a Muslim if they are already Muslim. If they are not yet Muslim, we should be a good example and show them the good behaviour like what Islam teaches us.
Let's me share with you what productivemuslim wrotes:
The verses above show the proactive nature that every ProductiveMuslim should have in giving dawah to people. Here’s a man (we call him the Yaseen man because the story is mentioned in Surat Yaseen), who had no need to go and proclaim his faith to his people; he could have easily sat at home, comfortably believing in Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) and letting the Messengers deal with the people. But he came running from the farthest part of town and started giving dawah. And what’s more amazing, after they killed him, and he was given Paradise, he still remembered them and said: “if only my people would know”.
Such proactivity is missing in many Muslims these days. We’re happy to sit comfortably in our homes and never proclaim our faith to anyone nor perform any action which would have lasting social impact. We claim to be ‘peaceful’ people, yet what sort of people do not care of the eternal peace of their neighbours nor invite them to the beauty of Islam? Or don’t strive hard and work tirelessly to take care of the poor, the orphans and the widows?
As ProductiveMuslims, we should develop a sense of being proactive and leave a social impact to those around us; this sense that it’s your responsibility to call your people, your neighbours, your society to all that’s good, including the message of Islam. Yes, it wouldn’t be easy. Perhaps you will get hurt along the way. But life’s too short to live a fearful and inactive life. The Yaseen-man knew he would probably get killed, but he weighed his options and chose to do the best action – to seek the pleasure of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala).
