Secrets Of Grateful


A housewife told me at length to me about her life and how the suffering then God always accompany his footsteps in any agony. Secretly I realized that this old mom a kasyaf. He then tells the story--such as which I will describe below--and asked me to preach it to others. "If you tell, the more people are going to believe, in contrast to the if I preach to them," he said with a smile. And here's the story:

"One time I invited Angel to the door of the sky first. Ku see multitudes of angels there and all of them are busy. I asked what their working on. Angels who accompany me would answer: "this first in heaven the Angels were busy receiving and sorting all of the inhabitants of the Earth. Each second of a great many who prayed and asked for — it. Everything is recorded and that's why the angels are busy as hell ".

"Then I was invited to the second heaven. There I saw there is a super fast jets and also I saw there was a car that old truck his way very slowly. Understand with amazement, wrote the accompanying angel said: "here the place God sent the Angel to take a variety of prayers and requests. Well, there is a nice replied to very quickly is the order delivered to jet aircraft, and no reply to reply to the slow course of the spt dg old truck. Well, consider how your request so that it can be replied to dg fast by God. We were in the sky both busy delivering behind all the requests from the inhabitants of the Earth. "

"I was then invited to the third heaven. It turns out that there is only one angel who sits while nodding off. There is no preoccupation here. I was told to immediately ask the Angel wrote it sitting alone. "What's here?" I said. Angel glanced at and answered while yawning: "my shift that is receiving a thank-you from the inhabitants of the Earth which was already granted. You can see for yourself, it turns out I'm menungggu to get bored because there are rarely willing to inhabitants of the Earth thankful. They're just busy ask and pray. They rarely give thanks. They thank God. You return to Earth, spread on kawan-kawanmu, make the angels in the third heaven is busy receiving thanks and gratitude to you guys. Do not let us sit bored waiting here. "

That's the story told the mother to me. You want to believe it or not, it's up to each. That is clearly the main message I continue: don't just get lost ask and pray, but then forget to be thankful and grateful.

"And (remember also), when Perhaps tells," unless you are grateful, for sure We will add (favors) to you, and if you deny (my favor), then surely my Doom is very poignant "(Ibrahim: 7)
Gratitude is a form of positive attitude feeling, that is, feel comfortable and calm in any situation. Other forms of positive feeling is a sense of patient and sincere.
In the law of attraction of the universe or the law of attraction: the resemblance will be interesting similarities. Something that will attract the positively charged something positively as well. Instead of something that will attract the negatively charged something negatively charged. Law of attraction universe is different from the magnetic pull style, where the positive pole negative pole will be interesting.

One example of a positively charged things in this universe is the human mind which is always a positive feeling. While gratitude is part of positive feeling. So Thanksgiving is any positively charged. Conversely, not being grateful is a thing that is negatively charged. By understanding it, it's easy for us to know the mechanism of why gratitude would add to delicious, while the kufur will reduce delights.

Tried looking for the positive side of each event is one of the branches of gratitude. Charge, positive charge. The model of this multi-faceted gratitude, not limited only on Thanksgiving favors but Thanksgiving in terms of a less pleasing in the sight of human beings as well. When we are sick in one of our members, are grateful that members of the other body still given the healthy. When it gets ugly when the value of the College, are grateful for not rated under it. When eating potluck dish, are grateful that there are still many brothers out there who eat only 3 times a day is difficult. And others.

Well, with getting used to thinking like that, then your mind and we'll form a positive charge. Automatically, the things in the universe are positively charged also will be attracted to come to us. For example, gradually the pain in our members being reduced, suddenly the lecturer was kind enough to value us because we reached the student courteous to lecturer?? Maybe

"And if the trees on the Earth into a pen and the sea became ink added to her seven seas again after drying, undoubtedly will not be inexhaustible written word of God (the science). Verily, Allâh is all-Mighty again Supreme wisdom. " (QS Luqman: 27)



Early in the morning I've made cruel with a banner that I see on my way to the Office, in the area of Rubber Java, Jakarta. Banners that are more or less contained the words "strictly prohibited eating, drinking, and smoking in public places (during Ramadan)." Whether intentionally or not, the banners were installed in front of a church.

As a non-Muslim, I really appreciate the fellow Muslims who fast. I am amazed at their firmness and their ability to withstand hunger, thirst and anger throughout the day as the embodiment of their obedience to God. I myself never try fasting, but midday was already hunger and ultimately cancel those intentions. Therefore, personally I always try to not do things that if a person fasts can be annoying.

But such efforts certainly could not be disamaratakan in any circumstances, even very depending on the context. When I was in HIGH-SCHOOL (belonging to the Catholic Foundation), the number of pupils who fast are not many and they are my good friends. Often me and my friends who are not fasting thus joking and teasing those who fasted with the offer of food or drink. But none of those offended. They responded by laughing and just teasing us. One of two people who are "more prudent" response to the us, "gue wrote, Would reward so more because digodain you guys". Then we all else laughed. By the time we arrived home, braving Lebaran comrades Muslims to congratulate and share happiness (and of course eating ketupat free).

In another context, that of the month of Ramadan a few years ago, I was tasked to a village in Werinama Subdistrict, Central Eastern part; the (almost) the entire population to Islam. Given that at the moment it is a month of fasting and the area wracked by sectarian conflict had several years earlier, I decided to very cautious (even hiding) when it was about to eat during the day. Do not let anyone see it and offended to see me eat. We arrived at an Inn, and accepted by a pack of thin, bearded Haji berkopiah, the owner of the residence. The Inn décor is absolutely Un-islamic. Its walls filled with quote verses of the Quran Arabic and Islamic-theme paintings. It seems that Mr. Hajj was a prominent figure in the village are feared.

Remember we will spend a few nights there, I am posting my friends briefing (foreign satunyaorang) to very careful if want to eat, smoke, or minumpada during the day. Do not let the residents there, especially our host, offended. Finish putting stuff in my room, Mr. Haji approached and whispered softly, "in addition to the foreigners, there are no long have to fast?" I replied that not all coincidence. Heard my answer, Mr. Haji said, "Oh, OK" and with alacrity towards the kitchen and asked his wife to prepare hot tea and bread for us. In reflex, I immediately said that was not necessary because we will soon be left out to run errands. However, he immediately cut, "don't! You guys are my guests, and therefore I have to entertain you. This teaching of religion, much less right now is the holy month. Furthermore, it is included in the package stay. " As a result, I was very surprised and did not dare to refuse hospitality. On the last night before we go home, we are breaking the fast together. Pak Haji and his wife fill out our tuna and very tasty deer meat. He said a new entangled in the Woods not far from the village and cut the flesh more tender then Islamic. While eating, he recounts the history of Islam and some of the great figures of Islam. Very enlightening.

Back to the present. Perhaps it was this experience that made me feel very sultry with banners. As a citizen of Indonesia-which is not the State religion; I have the right to eat, drink, and smoke anywhere I want as long as it doesn't violate the rule of law (e.g.: smoke in the area of the hospital). But when I limit the use of those rights during the month of Ramadan, should it be my personal decision as the embodiment of my tolerance towards those who fast; and not because the prohibition or imposition of certain parties such as written on the banner. Especially if the ban was made by the party who does not have the legal authority to make the ban on the public. If it is allowed, I worry about the meaning of religious tolerance itself would be reduced to just a duty imposed.

In the end, I think the main key of the tolerance that is the awareness and willingness of one group to answer its due part for the sake of other groups. Thus, in the context of the fasting month, was befitting a person who is not fasting appreciate people who are fasting. But on the contrary, it should appreciate that the fasting person does not fast; like the example given my teacher, Mr. Haji innkeeper at Werinama. I am sure our world would be a little more beautiful with the presence of genuine tolerance.
