The unruly Arabs, who were so lawless in their ways, surrendered themselves so absolutely to the guidance of the Faith that it was impossible for them to infringe the Divine Law. They accepted the Sovereignty of God in its fullest sense. In peace and in war, in joy and in sorrow, in every relationship of life, at each turn of affairs and in the minutest details of their concerns they looked to His guidance and help and carried out His commands without the slightest demur.
They had known paganism, having been born and brought up in it. They could, therefore, fully appreciate the value of Islam and understand that Islam meant the replacement of one mode of life by another, leaving the anarchy of desire for the rule of God. Before Islam, they were at war with God; now they were His willing slaves. There could be no room for one's personal opinion after the Word of God had come. To disobey the Prophet s.a.w, to dispute with him, to take one's case to a court other than the one in which the law of God was dispensed, to give priority to one's family tradition over Faith — these things were out of the question. They rejected paganism in toto and entered wholeheartedly into a new and fuller existence.
Fadalah ibn 'Umair al-Laythi once planned to assassinate the Prophet s.a.w during the tawaf of the Kaabah . As Fadalah drew near him, the prophet s.a.w inquired, “Is it you, Fadalah?” “Yes, it is I oh Propher of God," he replied. "Tell me," the Prophet s.a.w asked, "with what intentions have you come?" "There is nothing to tell," replied Fadalah, "I was only remembering God." The Prophet s.a.w smiled and placed his hand over Fadalah's heart. The peace of Fadalah's heart was restored. He, afterwards, would say that as soon as the hand was lifted, the Prophet s.a.w appeared to be so handsome, as if God had not created anything in the world more beautiful than he. On his return, Fadalah met his mistress who invited him to chat, but he declined. He said that there could be no scope for such a thing after one had submitted to Islam.
komen: kagum dengan sikap para sahabat terhadap hidayah yang diterima..some say that.."sahabat.boleh la..ader sentuhan rasulullah..kiter nih..jauh dari Rasulullah..maner logik nak capai mcm maner yg sahabat capai"..
memang lah kiter tak ader Rasulullah saw dengan kita secara fizikal..tetapi bukankah kehadiran Rasulullah saw itu boleh dirasai dengan mengkaji sirahnya? bukankah kewujudan Rasulullah tatkala ini boleh dirasai dengan mengamalkan sunnahnya..bknkah Rasulullah dapat dirasai ruhnya dengan beriman sepenuhnya dengan ajaran baginda?...atau adakah kita terus menerus mahu memberikan alasan? alasan yang mana hanya mahu membetulkan hawa kita...hawa kita yang selalu menyalahkan persekitaran kerana menjahiliyyahkan kita..sedangkan pilihan untuk menjadi jahiliyyah atau tidak itu terletak sepenuhnya terhadap pengusaan kita terhadap diri kita sendiri..memetik mafhum hadith rasulullah saw "addin itu nasihat..untuk siapa?..utk Allah, kitabnya, rasulnya, ketua org mukmin dan juga utk kaum muslimin"...
PILIHAN DI TANGAN ANDA! JAHILIYYAH ATAU ISLAM...
