All praises be to Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise who gives all of us livelihood. And if we wish getting it a lot of, we should be cleverer to thank give it. Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise decrees :
It's meaning : " If you are grateful I will add more ( favors ) unto you ; But if you show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed" ( QS Ibrahim : 7 )
Livelihood that was given by Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise to us is very much. And if we want to count it, undoubtedly we couldn't.
Only 5 livelihoods we should thank give them, they are :
1. YOUTH
Namely a moment when somebody has strength phisic and mental. Therefore, the youth should be used to worship toward Allah. Besides, old namely a moment when we should not be able to read Al Qur'an anymore because sight has begun vague, hasn't been able to get up in the midnight because the body was attacked rheumatism disease. It's regretless when the old man muffed his youth.
2. HEALTHY
Or well being, namely very valuable livelihood. We could not feel delicious food, if our body was not healthy. Therefore well being must be thanks given by reproducing worship, because in a certain moment we shall feel ill and it's really regretness of someone who can not use his healthy for provision physically and mentally to face his illness.
3. RICH TIME
Rich time is livelihood and test at once from Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise. I we could not use our wealth, surely we will fall into ravine Jahannam. Therefore, during we are still given wealth, let's execute the tithe, give it to the others and help Islam because in a certain moment it will be taken by Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise so we become poor again.
4. FREE TIME
Free time is time when we must cleverly use it. Minute by minute, clock by clock we content our free time by doing the advantage things. The job that we could finish now never be delayed, because there will be more important ones tomorrow.
5. LIFE TIME
Many friends of ours have passed away. And why do we live up to now ? All of those are only the generosity from Allah to us. Therefore we must thanks give it by reproducing kindness charity. Because it's not forever we live in the world and in a certain moment will pass away or face to the God.
About five livelihoods that have been mentioned above, prophet decreed :
It's meaning : " Keep five things before five others : 1. Your youth before your old, 2. Your healthy before your ill time, 3. Your rich time before your poor time. 4. Your free time before comes your busy time, 5. Your alive time before passing away" ( HR. Hakim )
We could not live in this world as we want, because life is not ours, but Allah's the almighty and most worthy of praise. Living in the world has the certain purpose namely worship to Allah the almighty an the most worthy of praise as His saying : It's meaning : "I haveonly created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me" ( QS Adz-Dzariyat : 56 )
As Moslems more or less we have known it. Because a lot of test caused us to forget, so that let's ensure ourselves to return that our main purpose living in the world is to worship to Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise. How rich we are don't ever forget the main purpose we live. And on the contrary how poor we are don't ever think that proverty has caused atheism. Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise confirmed :
It's meaning : "And We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. To Us must you return" ( Al Anbiya' : 35 )
From mentioned verses it's very clearly that overflow wealth is not only livelihood but also examination that will test our belief. Do we still want to carry out prayer and give our wealthy to the others ?
Do we become arrogant, so we forget Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise. While the proverty is not punishment but test or examination for us, could we bear and then carry out tenets of religion ?
Religion has given a lot of example about thanksgiving unto Allah the almighty and most worthy of praise and patient when getting tests. If we are tested to be plutocrat so do as Prophet Dawud and Prophet Sulaiman did. They kept on loyal to Allah although wealthy. Then when we are poor, do as Prophet Ayyub who kept on facing test patienly and never showed giving up to Allah almighty and most worthy of praise.
May we be able to be patient to face life difficulties and life examination in this world, aamiin..
