Kalau Berdoa Sahaja Boleh Mengubah Nikmat & Nasib Kita ("If Only Prayers Alone Can Change Our Blessings & Fate")

Salam hormat,

Adalah sikap org2 Melayu itu sangat suka berdoa dan kalau doanya tidak termakbul, akan dianggap sebagai TAKDIR sahaja.

Di kalangan kebanyakan Whatsapp Berkumpulan (Whatsapp Group) orang2 Melayu, pasti ada ahli yg terSANGATlah rajin "Cut & Paste" doa2 tertentu untuk SETIAP hari (yg selalunya dihantar sebelum sembahyang Subuh) bagi menunjukkan yg mereka adalah diantara yg org2 yg tersangat alim dikalangan kumpulan tersebut dan berkemungkinan BESAR, bahawa mereka akan merasa megah sekiranya posting mereka itu  di"amin"kan oleh rakan2 yg sewaktu dgn mereka.

Kalau kita mengkaji (BUKAN HADITH, tetapi) Al Quran yg SEMPURNA, LENGKAP, MUDAH difahami, TERPERINCI & TERPELIHARA oleh Tuhan, maka kita akan dapati bahawa -

"Adalah benar bahawa Tuhan suka kita berdoa kpd Nya (Q40:60, 2:186) dan Dia amatlah dekat (Q2:186), sedekat2nya urat leher kita (Q50:16), kecuali tiada apa2 bagi kita selain drp usaha kita sendiri (Q53:39) - sesungguhnya Dia tidak merubah nikmat & nasib kita melainkan kita merubah apa yg dalam diri kita sendiri.(Q8:53, 13:11)."

Al Quran itu amat JELAS bahawa setakat berdoa siang & malam TIDAK AKAN merubah nikmat & nasib kita - tanpa diDAHULUI dgn USAHA kita SENDIRI sebelum kita BERTAWAKAL dan berserah kpd TAKDIR.

\Alhamd.

Translation:

Humble greetings,

It is typical for us Muslims to invoke God's favour and if it is not answered, we would assume that it is fated anyway.

In any Muslim Whatsapp groups there will be some self-righteous & condescending characters who are so OBSESSED with their  daily"Cut & Paste" pontification of "Duas" (prayers) for EACH specific day of the week (usually sent out prior to the dawn prayers) to display their piety amongst the group members, and with high probability of satisfaction, when their posting is validated by their ilks.

If we read (NOT the Hadiths, but) the Quran we would conclude that -

"Verily God loves for us to invoke Him (Q40:60, 2:186) and that He is CLOSE, even closer than our jugular vein (Q59:16) except that there is nothing for us apart from our effort (Q59:39) and that He does not change our blessings & fate if we do not change it from within us (Q8:53, 13:11)."

The Quran is very CLEAR in that by solely praying to God night & day will not improve our lot - if not preceded by our OWN EFFORT, before leaving it to God and FATE.

\Alhamd.
