Key Verses on Attitude Towards Life 2 214 [al-Baqarah, Medina 87] Asad [But] do you think that you could enter paradise without having suffered like those [believers] who passed away before you [note 199]? Misfortune and hardship befell them, and so shaken were they that the apostle, and the believers with him, would exclaim, “When will God’s succor come? Oh, verily, God’s succor is [always] near ! Transliteration Am hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lamma_ ya'tikum masalul lazina khalau min qablikum massathumul ba'sa_'u wad darra_'u wa zulzilu_ hatta_ yaqu_lar rasu_lu wal lazina a_manu_ ma'ahu_ mata_ nasrull_hi, ala_ inna nasralla_hi qaribun. [ Asad’s note 199 – …….This passage connect with the words, “God guides onto a straight way him that will [to be guided], which occur at the end of the preceding verse. The meaning is that intellectual cognition of the truth cannot, by itself, be a means of attaining to ultimate bliss it must be complemented by readiness to sacrifice and spiritual purification through suffering.] [ Ruby’s note – It is implied here that life sometime is tested to the point when even the most righteous people may become desperate and disillusioned. Generally the prophets and righteous people are patient and submissive. At times the trials of life can be so severe that even they lose their composure. This verse is to communicate to the believers to expect that kind of serious and severe tests in life. More righteous one is more severe the trials may be. Because through these trials and sufferings one reaches to the higher stations of life and existence. Through these hardships one learns to trust God and submit to His Will and not give away to wrong doings to make it easier. This is the essence of “submission”. If one perseveres and remains steadfast, Inshallah, one will be given enormous reward both in here and Hereafter. That is the triumph Supreme! ] 6 161 [al- Anam, Mecca 55 ] Say "Verily my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight a religion of right the path trod by Abraham the true in faith and he certainly joined not gods with Allah." [ Qul innani hada_ni rabbi ila_ sira_tim mustaqimin, dinan qiyamam millata ibra_hima hanifa_n, wa ma_ ka_na minal musyrikina. ] 2 162 Say "Truly my prayer and my service of sacrifice my life and my death are all for Allah the Cherisher of the Worlds [Qul inna sala_ti wa nusuki wa mahya_ya wa mama_ti lilla_hi rabbil 'a_lamina. ] 2 201 …………. “O our Sustainer! Grant us good in this world and good in the life to come, and keep us safe from suffering through the fire” Wa minhum may yaqu_lu rabbana_ a_tina_ fid dunya_ hasanataw wa fil a_khirati hasanataw wa qina_ 'aza_ban na_ri. 2 212 Unto those who are bent on denying the truth the life of this world [alone] seems goodly [note 195]; hence, they scoff at those who have attained to faith but they who are conscious of God shall be above them on Resurrection Day. And God grants sustenance unto whom He wills, beyond all reckoning [196]. [ Ruby’s note – Attempting to or desiring to make this life beautiful is not implied here or is not discouraged. To the contrary, the prayer in the Quran to ask God to give the best in this life and in the Hereafter is endorsing the idea that one should desire and ask God to make this life beautiful also. However, here this verse is making distinction between that desire and the desire of the disbelievers who focus on this life only at the exclusion of the eternal life. In their desire they want the rewards and glory of this world and they neither believe nor care for the Hereafter. In a believer’s desire to make this life fulfilled consists of a desire of spiritual progress through pure and wholesome achievements that would also benefit the Hereafter. Whereas the desire of a disbeliever consists of the transitory gain and rewards of this life alone. ] [ Asad’s note 196 – He cannot be called to account for the way in which He distributes worldly benefits, sometimes granting them to the morally deserving and sometimes to sinners. ] [ Ali’s note 234 God's gifts in this world seem unequal, and sometimes those get them who seem to deserve them least. God's bounty is unlimited to the just as well as the unjust. In His wisdom He may give to whomsoever He pleases. The account is not taken now, but will be taken in the end, when the balance will be redressed. ] 5 87 [ al-Maidah Median 112 ] Asad O you who have attained to faith! Do Not derive yourselves of the good things of life which God has made lawful to you [note 100], but do not transgress the bounds of what is right verily, God does not love those who transgress the bounds of what is right. Yusuf Ali O ye who believe! make not unlawful the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you but commit no excess for Allah loveth not those given to excess. Pickthall O ye who believe! Forbid not the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress not. Lo! Allah loveth not transgressors.

[[ Ali’s note - 791 In pleasures that are good and lawful the crime is excess. There is no merit merely in abstention or asceticism, though the humility or unselfishness that may go with asceticism may have its value. In v. 82, Christian monks are praised for particular virtues, though here and elsewhere monasticism is disapproved of. Use Allah's gifts of all kinds with gratitude, but excess is not approved of by Allah. ]] [[ Asad’s note 100 – Most of the commentators ……….explain the expression la tuharrimu lit., “do not forbid” or “do not declare as forbidden” in the sense given by me above, and take it to refer to the self-mortification practiced, in particular, by Christians priests and monks……………]] [[ Ruby’s note – I disagree with the above explanation. There are good references about the piety about the Christian monks as well [see 582]. However, this could be true about the doctrine of celibacy and other austerity the monks practice that is in excess. Islam commands to celebrate life within the boundary set by moral law of God. Conjugal life and other enjoyments are all part of that celebration of life that is God gifted to humankind. No one should short change life on the beautiful things God has provided a human to enjoy. This is the trust of the meaning I understood and it is general. There is no specific implication towards the Christian monks here because the context is confirming that as well.]] 5 88 Asad Thus, partake of the lawful, good things which God grants you as sustenance, and be conscious of God, in whom you believe. Yusuf Ali Eat of the things which Allah hath provided for you lawful and good but fear Allah in Whom ye believe. Pickthall Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed on you as food lawful and good, and keep your duty to Allah in Whom ye are believers.

QS. 3137 Al-Qur’an ini adalah penerangan bagi seluruh manusia, dan petunjuk serta pelajaran bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa. QS. 3138 Janganlah kamu bersikap lemah, dan janganlah pula kamu bersedih hati, padahal kamulah orang-orang yang paling tinggi derajatnya, jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman. Jika kamu pada perang Uhud mendapat luka, maka sesungguhnya kaum kafir itupun pada perang Badar mendapat luka yang serupa. Dan masa kejayaan dan kehancuran itu, Kami pergilirkan di antara manusia agar mereka mendapat pelajaran; dan supaya Allah membedakan orang-orang yang beriman dengan orang-orang kafir dan supaya sebagian kamu dijadikan-Nya gugur sebagai syuhada. Dan Allah tidak menyukai orang-orang yang zhalim, QS. 3140 dan agar Allah membersihkan orang-orang yang beriman dari dosa mereka dan membinasakan orang-orang yang kafir. QS. 3141 Apakah kamu mengira bahwa kamu akan masuk Surga, padahal belum nyata bagi Allah orang-orang yang berjihad di antaramu, dan belum nyata orang-orang yang sabar. QS. 3142 Sesungguhnya kamu mengharapkan mati syahid sebelum kamu mengbadapinya; sekarang sungguh kamu telah melihatnya dan kamu menyaksikannya.” QS. 3143 Ketika orang-orang yang beriman mendapatkan musibah pada perang Uhud. Di mana ada 70 tujuh puluh orang yang terbunuh, Allah memberitahukan kepada mereka seraya berfirman, “Sesungguhnya telah berlalu sebelum kamu sunnah-sunnah Allah.” Maksudnya, yang demikian itu juga berlaku pada umat-umat sebelum kalian, yaitu pengikut para Nabi. Setelah itu, kesudahan yang baik adalah untuk kalian dan kesudahan yang buruk menimpa kepada orang-orang kafir. Oleh sebab itu Allah berfirman, fasiiruu fil ardli fandhuruu kaifa kaana aaqibatul mukadzdzibiin “Karena itu berjalanlah kamu di muka bumi dan perhatikanlah bagaimana akibat orang-orang yang mendustakan [para Rasul]. ” Kemudian Allah berfirman, Haadzaa bayaanul linnaasi “Ini adalah penjelasan bagi seluruh manusia.” Yakni al-Qur’an yang di dalamnya terdapat penjelasan mengenai berbagai hal yang sangat jelas, serta bagaimana keadaan umat-umat terdahulu dan juga musuh-musuh mereka. Wa Hudaw wa mau’idhatun “Dan petunjuk serta pelajaran.” Yakni, di dalam al-Qur’an itu terdapat berita tentang orang-orang sebelum kalian dan petunjuk bagi hati kalian sekaligus pelajaran, yaitu pencegahan terhadap hal-hal yang diharamkan dan perbuatan dosa. Kemudian Allah menghibur kaum muslimin dengan berfirman, wa laa taHinuu “Janganlah kamu bersikap lemah.” Artinya, janganlah kalian melemah akibat peristiwa yang telah terjadi itu.” Wa laa tahzanuu wa antumul a’launa in kuntum mu’miniin “Dan jangan pula kamu bersedih hati, padahal kamu adalah orang-orang yang paling tinggi [derajatnya], jika kamu orang-orang yang beriman.” Maksudnya, bahwa kesudahan yang baik dan pertolongan hanya bagi kalian, wahai orang-orang yang beriman. Firman-Nya iy yamsaskum qarhun faqad massal qauma qarhum mitsluHu “Jika kamu [pada perang Uhud] mendapat luka, maka sesungguhnya kaum [kafr] itupun [pada perang Badar] mendapat luka yang serupa.” Artinya, jika kalian menderita luka dan beberapa orang di antara kalian gugur, maka luka dan kematian itu juga telah menimpa musuh-musuh kalian, yaitu tidak berapa lama sebelumnya. Wa tilkal ayyaamu nudaawiluHaa bainan naasi “Dan masa [kejayaan dan kehancuran] itu,Kami pergilirkan di’antara manusia [agar mereka mendapat pelajaran].” Maksud-Nya, suatu saat Kami pergilirkan kemenangan itu bagi musuh-musuh kalian, meskipun kesudahan yang baik tetap berada pada kalian. Karena dalam hal tersebut terdapat hikmah. Oleh karena itu, Allah berfirman wa liya’lamal ladziina aamanuu “Dan supaya Allah membedakan orang-orang yang beriman [dengan orang-orang kafr].” Ibnu Abbas berkata “Dalam kasus seperti ini kita akan menemukanorang-orang yang sabar dalam melawan musuh.” Wa yattakhidza minkum syuHadaa-a “Dan supaya sebagian kamu dijadikan-Nya [gugur sebagai] syuhada.’” Yaitu, mereka yang terbunuh di jalan Allah dan mereka telah menumpahkan darah mereka untuk mencari keridhaan-Nya. wallaaHu laa yuhibbudh dhaalimiina wa liyumah-hishal ladziina aamanuu “Dan Allah tidak menyukai orang-orang yang zhalim. Dan agar Allah membersihkan orang-orang yang beriman [dari dosa mereka].” Artinya, dosa-dosa mereka akan dihapuskan, jika mereka telah berbuat dosa, dan jika tidak maka akan ditinggikan derajat mereka sesuai dengan apa yang telah menimpa mereka. Dan firman-Nya, wa yamhaqal kaafiriin “Dan membinasakan orang-orang yang kafir.” Artinya, jika orang-orang kafir itu menang, maka mereka melewati batas dan sombong. Sehingga kedua hal itu menyebabkan mereka hancur binasa. Setelah itu Allah berfirman am hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lammaa ya’lamillaaHul ladziina jaaHaduu minkum wa ya’lamash shaabiriin “Apakah kamu mengira bahwa kamu akan masuk Surga, padahal belum nyata bagi Allah orang-orang yang berjihad di antaramu dan belum nyata pula orang-orang yang sabar.” Maksudnya, apakah kalian mengira bahwa kalian akan masuk Surga, padahal kalian belum diuji dengan peperangan dan berbagai penderitaan. Sebagaimana firman Allah dalam surat al-Baqarah yang artinya “Apakah kamu mengira bahwa kamu akan masuk Surga, padahal belum datang kepadamu cobaan sebagaimana halnya orang-orang terdahulu sebelummu. Mereka ditimpa malapetaka dan kesengsaraan, serta digoncangkan dengan bermacam-macam cobaan.” QS. Al-Baqarah 214 Oleh karena itu, di sini Allah berfirman am hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lammaa ya’lamillaaHul ladziina jaaHaduu minkum wa ya’lamash shaabiriin “Apakah kamu mengira bahwa kamu akan masuk Surga, padahal belum nyata bagi Allah orang-orang yang berjihad di antaramu dan belum nyata pula orang-orang yang sabar.” Artinya, kalian tidak akan masuk Surga sehingga kalian diuji dan nyata bagi Allah orang-orang yang berjihad di jalan-Nya dan orang-orang yang sabar dalam melawan musuh. Firman-Nya, wa laqad kuntum tamannaunal mauta min qabli an talqauHu faqad ra-aitumuuHu wa antum tandhuruun “Sesungguhnya kamu mengharapkan mati [syahid] sebelum kamu menghadapinya. [Sekarang] sungguh kamu telah melihatnya dan kamu menyaksikannya.” Maksudnya, kalian wahai orang-orang yang beriman, sebelum hari ini telah berharap dapat berhadapan dengan musuh serta berkeinginan untuk mengalahkan dan memerangi mereka. Kini telah sampai pada kalian apa yang kalian harap-harapkan. Karenanya, perangilah musuh-musuh kalian dan bersabarlah. Dalam kitab Shahih al-Bukhari dan Shahih Muslim telah diriwayatkan, bahwa Rasulullah bersabda “Janganlah kalian berharap bertemu dengan musuh. Mohonlah keselamatan kepada Allah. Tetapi jika kalian bertemu dengan mereka, maka bersabarlah dan ketahuilah bahwa Surga itu berada di bawah naungan pedang.” Oleh karena itu, Allah berfirman faqad ra-aitumuuHu “[Sekarang] sungguh kamu telah melihatnya.” Yaitu, kematian yang kalian saksikan pada saat tajamnya mata pedang, tombak-tombak yang berbaur dan barisan pasukan yang saling bertempur. Kalangan mutakallimun ahli kalam mengibaratkan ini dengan pembayangan, yaitu penyaksian sesuatu yang abstrak seperti yang kongkrit, sebagaimana terbayangkannya biri-biri dapat bersahabat dengan kambing dan bermusuhan dengan serigala. & Tag137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, Al-qur'an, ali-'imraan, ali-'imran, ayat, ibnu katsir, surah, surat, tafsir Why the name Al-Baqarah?Al-Baqarah the Cow has been so named from the story of the Cow occurring in this Surah vv. 67-73. It has not, however, been used as a title to indicate the subject of the Surah. It will, therefore, be as wrong to translate the name Al-Baqarah into "The Cow" or "The Heifer" as to translate any English name, say Mr. Baker, Mr. Rice, Mr. Wolf etc., into their equivalents in other languages or vice versa, because this would imply that the Surah dealt with the subject of "The Cow". Many more Surahs of the Quran have been named in the same way because no comprehensive words exist in Arabic in spite of its richness to denote the wide scope of the subject discussed in them. As a matter of fact all human languages suffer from the same it is a Madani Surah, it follows naturally a Makki Surah Al- Fatihah, which ended with the prayer "Show us the straight way." It begins with the answer to that prayer, "This is the Book that...is guidance..."The greater part of Al-Baqarah was revealed during the first two years of the Holy Prophet's life at Al-Madinah. The smaller part which was revealed at a later period has been included in this Surah because its contents are closely related to those dealt with in this Surah. For instance, the verses prohibiting interest were revealed during the last period of the Holy prophet's life but have been inserted in this Surah. For the same reason, the last verses 284-286 of this Surah which were revealed at Makkah before the migration of the Holy Prophet to AI-Madinah have also been included in BackgroundIn order to understand the meaning of this Surah, we should know its historical backgroundAt Makkah the Quran generally addressed the mushrik Quraish who were ignorant of Islam, but at Al-Madinah it was also concerned with the Jews who were acquainted with the creed of the Unity of Allah, Prophethood, Revelation, the Hereafter and angels. They also professed to believe in the law which was revealed by Allah to their Prophet Moses Allah's peace be upon him, and in principle, their way was the same Islam that was being taught by Prophet Muhammad Allah's peace be upon him. But they had strayed away from it during the centuries of degeneration and had adopted many un-Islamic creeds, rites and customs of which there was no mention and for which there was no sanction in the Torah. Not only this they had tampered with the Torah by inserting their own explanations and interpretations into its text. They had distorted even that part of the Word of God which had remained intact in their Scriptures and taken out of it the real spirit of true religion and were now clinging to a lifeless frame of rituals. Consequently their beliefs, their morals and their conduct had gone to the lowest depths of degeneration. The pity is that they were not only satisfied with their condition but loved to cling to it. Besides this, they had no intention or inclination to accept any kind of reform. So they became bitter enemies of those who came to teach them the Right Way and did their worst to defeat every such effort. Though they were originally Muslims, they had swerved from the real Islam and made innovations and alterations in it and had fallen victims to hair splitting and sectarianism. They had forgotten and forsaken Allah and begun to serve mammon. So much so that they had even given up their original name "Muslim" and adopted the name "Jew" instead, and made religion the sole monopoly of the children of was their religious condition when the Holy Prophet went to Al-Madinah and invited the Jews to the true religion. That is why more than one third of this Surah has been addressed to the children of Israel. A critical review of their history, their moral degeneration and their religious perversions has been made; side by side with this the high standard of morality and the fundamental principles of the pure religion have been put forward in order to bring out clearly the nature of the degeneration of the community of a prophet when it goes astray and to draw clear lines of demarcation between real piety and formalism, and the essentials and non-essentials of the true religion. At Makkah Islam was mainly concerned with the propagation of its fundamental principles and the moral training of its followers. But after the migration of the Holy Prophet to Al-Madinah, where Muslims had come to settle from all over Arabia and where a tiny Islamic State had been set up with the help of the Ansar local supporters, naturally the Quran had to turn its attention to the social, cultural, economic, political and legal problems as well. This accounts for the difference between the themes of the surahs revealed at Makkah and those at Al-Madinah. Accordingly about half of this Surah deals with those principles and regulations which are essential for the integration and solidarity of a community and for the solution of its the migration to Al-Madinah, the struggle between Islam and un-Islam had also entered a new phase. Before this the Believers, who propagated Islam among their own clans and tribes, had to face its opponents at their own risk. But the conditions had changed at Al-Madinah, where Muslims from all parts of Arabia had come and settled as one community, and had established an independent city state. Here it became a struggle for the' survival of the Community itself, for the whole of non- Muslim Arabia was bent upon and united in crushing it totally. Hence the following instructions, upon which depended not only its success but its very survival, were revealed in this Surah -The Community should work with the utmost zeal to propagate its ideology and win over to its side the greatest possible number of people. It should so expose its opponents as to leave no room for doubt in the mind of any sensible person that they were adhering to an absolutely wrong position. It should infuse in it's members the majority of whom were homeless and indigent and surrounded on all sides by enemies that courage and fortitude which is so indispensable to their very existence in the adverse circumstances in which they were struggling and to prepare them to face these boldly. It should also keep them ready and prepared to meet any armed menace, which might come from any side to suppress and crush their ideology, and to oppose it tooth and nail without minding the overwhelming numerical strength and the material resources of its enemiesIt should also create in them that courage which is needed for the eradication of evil ways and for the establishment of the Islamic Way is why Allah has revealed in this Surah such instructions as may help achieve all the above mentioned this period, a new type of "Muslims," munafiqin hypocrites, had begun to appear. Though signs of duplicity had been noticed during the last days at Makkah, they took a different shape at Al-Madinah. At Makkah there were some people who professed Islam to be true but were not prepared to abide by the consequences of this profession and to sacrifice their worldly interests and relations and bear the afflictions which inevitably follow the acceptance of this creed. But at Al-Madinah different kinds of munafiqin hypocrites began to appear. There were some who had entered the Islamic fold merely to harm it from within. There were others who were surrounded by Muslims and, therefore, had become "Muslims" to safeguard their worldly interests. They, therefore, continued to have relations with the enemies so that if the latter became successful, their interests should remain secure. There were still others who had no strong conviction of the truth of Islam but had embraced it along with their clans. Lastly, there were those who were intellectually convinced of the truth of Islam but did not have enough moral courage to give up their former traditions, superstitions and personal ambitions and live up to the Islamic moral standards and make sacrifice in its the time of the revelation of Al-Baqarah, all sorts of hypocrites had begun to appear. Allah has, therefore, briefly pointed out their characteristics here. Afterwards when their evil characteristics and mischievous deeds became manifest, Allah sent detailed instructions about GuidanceThis Surah is an invitation to the Divine Guidance and all the stories, incidents etc., revolve round this central theme. As this Surah has particularly been addressed to the Jews, many historical events have been cited from their own traditions to admonish and advise them that their own good lies in accepting the Guidance revealed to the Holy Prophet. They should, therefore, be the first to accept it because it was basically]y the same that was revealed to Prophet Moses Allah's peace be upon him.Topics and their InterconnectionThese introductory verses declare the Quran to be the Book of Guidance enunciate the articles of the Faith - belief in Allah, Prophethood and Life-after-death; divide mankind into three main groups with regard to its acceptance or rejection - Believers, disbelievers and hypocrites. 1 - 20Allah invites mankind to accept the Guidance voluntarily and to submit to Him, the Lord and the Creator of the Universe and to believe in the Quran, His Guidance, and in the Life-after-death. 21 - 29The story of the appointment of Adam as Allah's Vicegerent on Earth, of his life in the Garden, of his falling a prey to the temptations of Satan, of his repentance and its acceptance, has been related to show to mankind Adam's offspring, that the only right thing for them is to accept and follow the Guidance. This story also shows that the Guidance of Islam is the same that was given to Adam and that it is the original religion of mankind. 30 - 39In this portion invitation to the Guidance has particularly been extended to the children of Israel and their past and present attitude has been criticized to show that the cause of their degradation was their deviation from the Guidance. 40 - 120The Jews have been exhorted to follow Prophet Muhammad Allah's peace be upon him who had come with the same Guidance and who was a descendant and follower of Prophet Abraham whom they highly honoured as their ancestor, and professed to follow as a prophet. The story of the building of the Ka`abah by him has been mentioned because it was going to be made the qiblah of the Muslim Community. 121 - 141In this portion, the declaration of the change of qiblah from the Temple Jerusalem to the Ka`abah Makkah has been made as a symbol of the change of leadership from the children of Israel to the Muslim Community, which has also been fore-warned to guard against those transgressions against the Guidance that had led to the deposition of the Jews. 142 - 152In this portion practical measures have been prescribed to enable the Muslims to discharge the heavy responsibilities of the leadership that had been entrusted to them for the promulgation of Guidance. Salat, Fast, Zakat, Haj and Jihad have been prescribed for the moral training of the Ummat. The Believers have been exhorted to obey authority, to be just, to fulfill pledges, to observe treaties, to spend wealth etc., in the way of Allah. Laws, rules and regulations have been laid down for their organization, cohesion and conduct of day-to-day life and for the solution of social, economic, political and international problems; on the other hand, drinking, gambling, lending money on interest etc., have been prohibited to keep the Ummat safe from disintegration. In between these, the basic articles of the Faith have been reiterated at suitable places, for these alone can enable and support one to stick to the Guidance. 153 - 251These verses serve as an introduction to the prohibition of lending money on interest. The true conception of Allah, Revelation and Life-after-death has been emphasized to keep alive the sense of accountability. The stories of Prophet Abraham Allah's peace be upon him and of the one who woke up after a sleep of hundred years have been related to show that Allah is All-Powerful and is able to raise the dead and call them to account. The Believers, therefore, should keep this fact in view and refrain from taking interest on money. 252 - 260The theme of 153 - 251 has been resumed and the Believers have been exhorted to spend in the way of Allah in order to please Him alone. In contrast to this, they have been warned against the evils of lending money on interest. Instructions have also been given for the honest conduct of day-to-day business transactions. 261 - 283The basic articles of the Faith have been recapitulated here at the end of the Surah, just as they were enunciated at its beginning. Then the Surah ends with a prayer which the Muslim Community needed very much at that time when they were encountering untold hardships in the propagation of the Guidance. 284 - 286 JAKARTA - Setiap manusia pasti pernah mendapatkan cobaan hidup. Ada yang sukses melalui cobaan itu, ada pula yang justru makin menjauh dari Allah SWT. Sesungguhnya cobaan adalah cara Allah untuk mengetahui maqam tingkat keimanan manusia. Dan dengan cobaan itu, menjadikan manusia siap memasuki surga sebagaimana yang disampaikan Allah dalam Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 214 berbunyi “Am hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lamma ya’tikum matsalulladzina khalau min qablikum massathumul-ba’sa-u waddhara-u wa zulzilu hatta yaqulurasulu walladzina amanu ma-ahu mata nashrullahi, ala inna nashralllahi qaribun.” Yang artinya “Apakah kamu mengira kamu akan masuk surga? Padahal belum datang padamu cobaan sebagaimana halnya orang-orang terdahulu sebelum kamu? Mereka ditimpa kesulitan dan kesempitan, serta diguncangkan dengan bermacam-macam cobaan sehingga berkatalah Rasul dan orang-orang yang beriman bersamanya bilakah datangnya pertolongan Allah?’ Ingatlah, sesungguhnya pertolongan Allah itu amat dekat.” Cobaan memang tidaklah menyenangkan. Cobaan pun datang dalam bentuk yang berbeda-beda, bisa dalam bentuk harta, fisik, kemiskinan, anak, pasangan hidup, bahkan hingga relasi kerja dan bisnis. Hanya saja, cobaan yang diberikan Allah SWT kepada hambanya sebenarnya adalah bentuk kecintaan Allah. Bukankah dengan diturunkannya cobaan, manusia dapat teruji keimanannya? Kala menurunkan cobaan, sesungguhnya Allah tengah mencintai hamba-Nya. Dalam sebuah hadis qudsi, Allah SWT pernah berfirman yang artinya “Jika Aku mencintai seorang hamba, maka Aku turunkan ujian kesulitan dan kesempitan kepadanya. Hal itu agar ia memohon kepadaKu agar ujian dapat diangkat darinya melalui doa-doa yang dipanjatkan.” Hal yang harus diingat, setiap ujian atau cobaan yang diberikan Allah kepada hamba-Nya selalu diselipkan solusi. Solusi tersebut umumnya disesuaikan dengan kadar tingkatan manusia itu sendiri. Hal ini ditegaskan Allah dalam Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 286. “La yukallifullaha nafsan illa wus-aha.” Yang artinya “Allah tidak membebani seseorang menurunkan ujian, kecuali sesuai dengan kesanggupannya.” اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُمْ مَّثَلُ الَّذِيْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ۗ مَسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَاۤءُ وَالضَّرَّاۤءُ وَزُلْزِلُوْا حَتّٰى يَقُوْلَ الرَّسُوْلُ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ مَتٰى نَصْرُ اللّٰهِ ۗ اَلَآ اِنَّ نَصْرَ اللّٰهِ قَرِيْبٌ البقرة ٢١٤ ḥasib'tumحَسِبْتُمْdo you thinktadkhulūتَدْخُلُوا۟you will enterl-janataٱلْجَنَّةَParadiseyatikumيَأْتِكُمhas come to youmathaluمَّثَلُlike came toalladhīnaٱلَّذِينَthose whokhalawخَلَوْا۟passed awayqablikumقَبْلِكُمۖbefore you?massathumuمَّسَّتْهُمُTouched theml-basāuٱلْبَأْسَآءُ[the] adversitywal-ḍarāuوَٱلضَّرَّآءُand [the] hardshipwazul'zilūوَزُلْزِلُوا۟and they were shakenl-rasūluٱلرَّسُولُthe Messengerwa-alladhīnaوَٱلَّذِينَand those whonaṣruنَصْرُ[will] the helpl-lahiٱللَّهِۗof Allah comeAm hasibtum an tadkhulul jannata wa lammaa yaa-tikum masalul lazeena khalaw min qablikum massathumul baasaaa'u waddarraaaa'u wa zulziloo hattaa yaqoolar Rasoolu wallazeena aamanoo ma'ahoo mataa nasrul laah; alaaa inna nasral laahiqareeb al-Baq̈arah 2214Sahih InternationalOr do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near. Al-Baqarah [2] 2141 Mufti Taqi UsmaniDo you think that you will enter Paradise while you have not yet been visited by difficult circumstances like those that were faced by the people who passed away before you? They were afflicted by hardship and suffering, and were so shaken down that the prophet, and those who believed with him, started saying “When will come the help of Allah?” Then, they were comforted by the Prophet who said to them Behold, the help of Allah is near.’2 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran3 Ruwwad Translation Center4 A.
