Sakit dan Persoalan

  Aktiviti menjadi terhad,badan menjadi lemah,itulah natijah daripada sakit.Nikmat sihat yang selalu kita abaikan dan tidak manfaatkan hanya akan dirasai apabila sakit menerpa,menjalar ke seluruh saraf urat badan,menyebabkan diri tidak bermaya,mengharapkan bantuan dan pertolongan daripada orang lain,dan juga tidak lupa bagi siapa yang lupa pada tuhan,tiba-tiba selalu ingat pada-Nya,mengadu pada-Nya,berdoa kepada-Nya.Itulah fitrah manusia.Saya teringat hadis nabi tentang nikmat sihat ni,sabdanya,yang bermaksud:

“Ada dua nikmat yang kebanyakan manusia tertipu kerananya iaitu kesihatan dan masa lapang.” (Hadis riwayat Al-Bukhari)

Maka mulalah manusia mencari ubat untuk kembali sihat.Mereka mencuba pelbagai cara.Ada yang berharap ubatnya ada pada bomoh yang hebat,ada yang berharap hanya ubatnya ada pada 'sheikh' yang maksum,ada yang berharap ubatnya hanya ada pada doktor yang bijaksana.Ada yang berjaya.Ada yang tidak.Maka di sini harus kita cari dimanakah sakit itu datang dan bagaimana sakit itu dapat diubati.Bagi umat islam,seharusnya kita berusaha dengan sehabis usaha yang ada untuk mencari 'sabab' penyakit itu.Tetapi harus diingat 'musabab' itu daripada Allah s.w.t.

Pakar perubatan di U.S mengatakan begini:

Infectious diseases have been evolving from the earliest days of life on earth. Major factors influencing their developments include the splitting of continents (continental drift), the radiation of early primates into present-day forms, migrations of man around the world, the ending of the Ice Age, the invention of agriculture, the domestication of animals, the increase in populations, and the urbanization of societies. The impact of such basic changes on infectious diseases is reviewed.

Daripada sudut pandang Bible

Mari kita lihat apa pandangan Bible(yang telah diselewengkan) tentang sakit(saya cuma mengambil contoh) sebagai perbahasan ilmiah:

11. Illness is opposite of God's nature.
It is interesting to notice that people from around the world are quite conscious that sickness is bad. Why are so many hospitals build, if sickness would be good for us?

God only gives good gifts. Sickness is far from being good! James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

 Mereka mengatakan sakit itu bukan dari Allah.Allah hanya memberi yang baik-baik sahaja.Di sini mereka berhujah mengatakan sakit itu jauh daripada perkara-perkara yang baik.Lupakan sahaja hujah mereka daripada mana sakit itu datang.Anda boleh membaca link itu jika anda mahu.Mari kita lihat hujah Qur'an daripada mana sakit itu datang,tuan dan puan,pembaca blog ini yang saya muliakan.Ini kerana Rasulullah yang terakhir,Nabi Muhammad s.a.w bersabda mafhumnya:

Daripada Abu Malik al-Haris ibn `Asim al-Asya'arie r.a. beliau berkata: Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda: "Kebersihan itu sebahagian daripada iman. Ucapan zikir al-Hamdulillah memenuhi neraca timbangan. Ucapan zikir SubhaanaLlah dan al-Hamdulillah kedua-duanya memenuhi ruangan antara langit dan bumi. Sembahyang itu adalah cahaya. Sedekah itu adalah saksi. Sabar itu adalah sinaran. Al-Qur'an itu adalah hujah bagimu atau hujah ke atasmu. Setiap manusia keluar waktu pagi, ada yang menjualdirinya, ada yang memerdekakan dirinya dan ada pula yang mencelakakan dirinya."

(Hadis 23(Hadis 40 Imam Nawawi)

Dari sudut pandang Al-Qur'an dan Sunnah

Ever wonder why a Muslim is allowed
by Allah, subhana watallah, to get sick?

 

Hadith - Bukhari 7:564

I visited Allah's Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever. I touched him with my hand and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a high fever." Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, I have as much fever as two men of you have." I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?" Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, no Muslim is afflicted with harm because of sickness or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins for him as a tree sheds its leaves."

Hadith - Muslim & Bukhari

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri r.a. reported that the Prophet said: Whenever a Muslim is afflicted with a hardship, sickness, sadness, worry, harm, or depression --even a thorn's prick, Allah expiates his sins because of it.

Recorded by Bukhari in al-Adab ul-Mufrad (no. 493), verified authentic by al-Albani

"Expect good, because Allah (s.w.t.) makes a believer's sickness an expiation (for his sins) and a period of repose.  As for a disbeliever falling sick, he is like a camel whose owner ties it and then lets it loose --it does not understand why it was tied, nor why it was freed."

 Itulah penjelasan-penjelasan yang telah diungkapkan oleh Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.Dan Baginda juga menjelaskan apakah ubat dan penyelesaian kepada penyakit itu.Anda boleh klik link laman web Muttaqun di atas.

Bagi saya,penyakit itu datang daripada Allah sebagai tanda perhatian dan kasih sayang untuk kita menjernihkan dosa-dosa kita.Penyakit itu juga datang daripada kita sendiri.Kerana itulah Allah menciptakan kita akal untuk menyembuhkan penyakit itu sendiri.Dengan sakit,ini menimbulkan hakikat kita mengakui kekuasaan Allah,mengetahui Allah itu wujud dan menyebabkan kita bermuhasabah,bagaimanakah kehidupan kita selepas mati.Dan ingat mati adalah sebaik-baik tazkitah(peringatan) kepada manusia.Suka saya untuk mengambil sedikit petikan artikel tentang sakit ini.

Jalalu'ddin Rumi says that Allah s.w.t. created suffering and heartache so that a joyful heart might appear through its opposite. Hence, he maintains that hidden things become manifest and known to us only by means of their opposites. He then says, that since Allah does not have an opposite, He remains hidden. "Hidden things, then, are manifested by means of their opposite; since God hath no opposite, He is hidden. . . The Light of God hath no opposite in (all) existence, that by means of that opposite it should be possible to make Him manifest. Necessarily (therefore) our eyes do not perceive Him, though He perceives (us) . . ." [Mathnawi, Book 1, Pg. 63, trans. by R.A. Nicholson]. Rumi's explanation, among other things, shows how it is that we come to know about good health through sickness and vice versa. Such explanations that are based on the personal experiences of people like Rumi "have made thinking humanity believe in the continuity of life after death. It is they who radiate a faith in everlasting life which in its turn takes away the sting from ill health and death and enables us to view life with a sense of ease."

Sedikit kata-kata hikmah tentang sakit

Dr. Mahmud Es'ad Cosan says, "Sickness wakes people up from heedlessness, guides them to give up their sins, makes them think about the Hereafter, leads them to pious foundations; makes them more thankful to Allah, and teaches them the necessity of taking better care of their health and making better use of their life - something they didn't realise before - teaches them to understand other sick and pained people better, to feel sorry for them and to help them; and raises their ranks and degrees higher in the Hereafter."And just as wealth is a far more difficult trial because of its potential to lead one astray, so is health a more difficult trial than sickness, despite its outward appearance of ease.

Abdul Qadir Gilani r.a., tells us that Abu Dharr (may Allah be well pleased with him) used to say: "Poverty is dearer to me than affluence, sickness is dearer to me than health, and death is dearer to me than life."http://muslim-canada.org/health_sickness.html
