Permainan untuk direnungi

Seorang guru wanita sedang bersemangat mengajar sesuatu kepada murid-muridnya. Ia menghadap murid-muridnya. Di tangan kirinya ada kapur, di tangan kanannya ada pemadam.

Guru itu berkata,  "Saya ada satu  permainan... Caranya begini, ditangan kiri saya ada kapur, di tangan kanan ada pemadam. Jika saya angkat kapur ini, maka berserulah 'Kapur!', jika saya angkat pemadam, maka katalah 'Pemadam! "

Murid muridnya pun mengerti dan ikut. Guru berganti-gantian mengangkat antara tangan kanan dan kirinya, semakin lama semakin cepat. 

Beberapa saat kemudian guru kembali berkata,  "Baik sekarang perhatikan, jika saya angkat kapur, maka sebutlah "Pemadam!", jika saya angkat pemadam, maka katakanlah 'Kapur!". dan diulang seperti tadi."

Tentu saja murid-murid tadi keliru dan kekok, dan sangat sukar untuk mengubahnya. 

 
Namun lambat laun, mereka sudah biasa dan tidak lagi kekok. Selang beberapa saat, permainan berhenti. Guru tersenyum kepada murid-muridnya. 

 
"Murid-murid, begitulah kita umat Islam. Mulanya yang haq itu haq, yang bathil itu bathil. Kita begitu jelas membezakannya. Namun kemudian, musuh2 kita akan memaksa kita dengan perbagai cara, untuk menukarkan sesuatu, dari yang haq menjadi bathil, dan sebaliknya.Pertama mungkin akan sukar bagi kita menerima hal tersebut, tapi kerana terus didedahkan dengan cara-cara menarik oleh mereka, akhirnya lambat-laun kamu akan terbiasa dengan hal itu. Dan anda mulai dapat mengikutinya. 

Musuh2 kamu tidak pernah berhenti membalik dan menukar nilai dan etika kamu.  "Keluar berdua-duan, berkasih-kasihan tidak lagi sesuatu yang pelik, zina tidak lagi jadi persoalan, pakaian seksi menjadi hal yang lumrah, sex sebelum nikah menjadi suatu hiburan dan trend, materialistik kini menjadi suatu gaya hidup dll.  "Semuanya sudah terbalik dan tanpa disedari, anda sedikit demi sedikit menerimanya. Faham?" tanya Guru kepada murid-muridnya.

  

"Faham cikgu..." 

"Baik permainan kedua..." sambung Guru tersebut/

 "Cikgu ada Al-Qur'an, cikgu akan letakkannya di tengah karpet. Sekarang anda berdiri diluar karpet.Permainannya adalah, bagaimana caranya mengambil Al-Qur'an yang ada ditengah tanpa memijak karpet? "

Murid-muridnya berpikir. Ada yang mencuba alternatif dengan tongkat dll. Akhirnya Guru memberikan jalan keluar, digulungnya karpet, dan ia ambil Qur'an. Ia memenuhi syarat,  tidak memijak karpet.

"Murid-murid, begitulah umat Islam dan musuh-musuhnya...Musuh2 Islam tidak akan memijak-mijak anda dengan terang2...Kerana tentu anda akan menolaknya mentah2. Orang biasapun tak akan rela kalau Islam dihina dihadapan mereka. Tapi mereka akan menggulung anda perlahan-lahan dari pinggir, sehingga anda tidak sedar.

Jika seseorang ingin membuat rumah yang kuat, maka dibina tapak yang kuat. Begitulah Islam, jika ingin kuat, maka bangunlah aqidah yang kuat. Sebaliknya, jika ingin meroboh rumah, tentu susah kalau dimulai dgn tapaknya dulu, tentu saja hiasan2 dinding akan dikeluarkan dulu, kerusi dipindahkan dulu, almari dibuang dulu satu persatu, baru rumah dihancurkan...Begitulah musuh2 Islam menghancurkan kita. Ia tidak akan menghentam terang-terangan, tapi ia akan perlahan-lahan mempengaruhi anda. Mulai dari perangai anda, cara hidup, pakaian dll, sehingga meskipun anda muslim, tapi anda telah meninggalkan ajaran Islam dan mengikuti cara yang mereka...Dan itulah yang mereka inginkan. Ini semua adalah fenomena Ghazwul Fikri (Perang Pemikiran). Dan inilah yang dijalankan oleh musuh2 kita.."

. "Kenapa mereka tidak berani terang2 memijak-mijak cikgu? "tanya mereka.

"Sesungguhnya dahulu mereka terang2 menyerang, misalnya Perang Salib, Perang Tartar dll. Tapi sekarang tidak lagi. Begitulah Islam... Kalau diserang perlahan-lahan, mereka tidak akan sedar, akhirnya hancur. Tapi kalau diserang serentak terang-terangan, mereka akan bangkit serentak, baru mereka akan sedar. Kalau begitu, kita selesaikan pelajaran kita kali ini, dan mari kita berdoa dahulu sebelum pulang..." 

Matahari bersinar terik tatkala anak2 itu keluar meninggalkan tempat belajar mereka dengan pelbagai fikiran yg bermain di kepala masing2.. 

Steve Jobs' Mother

How Steve Jobs's biological mother doesn't know he is dead as care home nurses believe dementia sufferer is too ill to be told

His death was one of the most widely publicised in recent history, filling newspapers and television schedules for days as fans worldwide united in grief.

Among the few people in the Western world, however, who will not have heard of Steve Jobs's passing, is perhaps the most important - his own mother.

Joanne Simpson, who reluctantly gave her son up for adoption after falling pregnant when she was a student, is seriously unwell in a nursing home in Los Angeles and has no idea her son has died, MailOnline can reveal.

Biological parents: Father John Jandali never met Jobs while it is thought mother Joanne Simpson does not know he has died

Sources close to the family said the Apple founder's biological mother, Joanne Simpson, 79, is tragically battling advanced dementia.

She has very limited mental capacity and is said barely to know who she is, let alone what has become of the son she gave away.

Jobs was adopted in 1955 after being born to Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Syrian man, and Joanne Schieble, who was a graduate student at the time.

The couple were not married and keeping him would have been deemed shameful by their communities.

Brought up by Paul and Clara Jobs, Steve is thought to have reconciled with his mother but never to have made contact with his biological father.

Genius: The Apple founder completely revolutionised the way we communicate

In his renowned 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, Jobs described how his mother signed the adoption papers reluctantly, wanting to give him away to a well-educated couple.

Paul Jobs was a high-school drop-out who became a machinist and his wife Clara never graduated from college.

 

Joanne Simpson eventually married Jandali and the couple had another child, Mona Simpson, who went on to become a famous novelist, before getting divorced. She later remarried.

'My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student,' Jobs said in his speech.

 

Deteriorating: The Berkley East Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles, where Steve Jobs's birth mother, who has dementia, is being looked after

'She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates.'

When he grew up, Jobs found his mother and the two kept in touch. He also forged a relationship with his biological sister.

Despite the reconciliation, Simpson's dementia is so serious she has no idea about her son's death.

Her condition has so far deteriorated she is said briefly to have been admitted to a mental hospital after neighbours reported seeing her wandering the streets half naked.

Frail: Jobs was photographed in August looking very unwell

A source said: 'Steve was one of the richest men in the world, but his wealth couldn’t save him and it couldn’t save his mother.

'We used to find her wondering the streets wearing only a house coat with nothing underneath and sometimes we would find her wearing barely anything climbing trees in her bare feet.

'In the end someone dropped her at a mental hospital as they were so concerned for her wellbeing and then when her daughter found out they eventually moved her to a nursing home.

'She was a lovely woman so it was very hard to see her demise. Now she is locked in her own body and barely knows who she is let alone Steve anymore.'

Jobs knew about his birth mother's mental condition and is said secretly to have helped her financially. 

'They had reconnected in later life and it must have been so sad for Steve watching his mum lose her mind , knowing there was nothing he could do about it,' the source added.

'It was like a double heartache as there was nothing he could do about his condition either in the end.

'While we never saw him round her house before they moved her, what we do know is that her rent was paid for as if by magic every month.

'And now she is in one of the best care homes, so it doesn’t take a fool to work out who is paying for it.'
