Someone will feel the sweetness of faith begins when in his heart there is a deep love of God and His Messenger, the sweetness will be more felt if someone tries to always perfect his love for Allah, multiply its branches (deeds beloved Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala .) and fend off things that contradict the love of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
What is the proof when someone has felt the sweetness of Faith?
The proof, he will always put his love for God rather than the pleasure of the world and pleasure, such as having fun with the family, prefer to stay at home rather than respond to the call of dakwah and engrossed with his business without any contribution to the jihad activities in the way of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta ' ala.
As the word of God in At-Taubah's letter: 24
"Say:" If your fathers, your children, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, your treasures, the trade which you worship the loss, and the dwelling you love, are more than you love of God and His Apostle and from jihad in His Way, Then wait till Allah brings His Decision. and God does not guide the ungodly. "
Prioritizing the love of God will give birth to a feeling of pleasure
If a person always prioritizes the love of Allah, the Prophet and jihad in his way, rather than his own interests, then there will be an acceptance of Allah as his Rabb, Islam as his din and Muhammad as his Prophet and Messenger.
His pleasure is evidenced by always attending halaqahnya, involved with da'wah activities in his environment and menginfakkan some of his wealth and time for the welfare of the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
What does a person feel when he is pleased with Allah, his religion and his Apostle?
First, He will feel "Istildzadz at-Thaa'ah", the deliciousness of obedience to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala., Both in his prayer, recitations Qur'annya, clothes and association of Islam, his association with the pious people and his involvement in the ranks of da'wah .
Secondly, He also will feel "Istildzadz al-masyaqat", delicious to face difficulties and distress in preaching. Fatigue, fatigue, and things that hurt his feelings due to people's reproaches because of running the Islamic Shari'ah, or even injuring his physical, all the more make him a pleasure in preaching. All this will always give birth to the sweetness of the Faith.
"Istildzaadz at-thaa'ah", the deliciousness of the obedience to Allah is indicated by the Ansar and the Emigrants, when the revelation which commands them to go to hijab and menutrup their nakedness, they immediately respond with pleasure and hearty chest, without feeling the slightest weight. Aisha ra. who was an eyewitness to this said:
رحم الله نساء الانصار والمهاجرات لما نزلت عليهن "وليضربن من جلا بيبهن على جيو بهن" شققن مروطهن فليختمرن بها
"May Allah bless the women of the Ansar and the Muhajirin, when it comes down to them the verse" they should wear a long cloth (headscarf) to the top of their breasts, "they cut their cloths, then they make the cloth as a covering of his head
Abu Ayub Ayub Al-Anshary, when hearing the call of jihad, In the letter of At-Taubah: 41
انفروا خفافا العربية
"Go ye in a state of lightness and weight, and strive with your wealth and yourselves in the way of Allah. that it is better for you, if ye know. "
Abu Ayub cried out to his sons, "Jahhizuuny! Jahhizuuny! "Prepare your perangku equipment !. His children persuaded his father not to leave for jihad, because he was already udzur, just deputized by his children. Abu Ayyub refused to persuade his children and said:
"Know O my children, the meaning of the verse is خفافالكم وثقالا لي, light for you heavy for me, he still leave and find martyrs in jihad journey. (see Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
While the difficulty (Istildzadz al-masyaqqah) in da'wah is felt by the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi Wa Sallam, when he faces the disbelief of the unbelievers against the teachings of Islam, as shown by the people of Ta'if when the Prophet sallallaahu` alaihi Wa Sallam. migrate to it, that is when the Prophet preaches his message, invites them to accept the teachings of Islam, but there is not a good reception from their leaders, even in a very harassing and painful tone, they respond to the Prophet's preaching, saying,
"You try to tear kiswah ka'ba if you really are messenger of Allah
ah. "Others also commented," Is there no one more worthy to be sent by God than you? "With patience and steadfastness of the Prophet sallallaahu` alaihi Wa Sallam. to accept the bitter fact, he stood still and did not question about their rejection and opposition.Therefore when the angel of Alaihissalaam mountain guard offered to the Prophet, if he agreed he would raise two hills in the Thaif then inflicted on them, tenderness and affection of the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi Wa Sallam. responded saying, بل أرجو أن يخرج الله من أصلابهم من يعبد الله وحده لا يشرك به شيئا "But I hope that Allah released from their ribs later ones (generation) who worship Allah and not menyekutukannya with anything." Sheikh Abu Muhammad bin Abi Jamroh likens the sweetness of faith with a tree, as Allah says: ألم تر كيف ضرب الله مثلا كلمة طيبة كشجرة طيبة أصلها ثابت وفرعها في السماء "Have you not noticed how Allah has made the parable of a good sentence like a good tree, its roots firm and its branches to the heavens. "(Ibrahim: 24) What is meant by the sentence in the verse is the kalim atul ikhlas لا اله الا الله, the tree trunk is the base of faith, its branch and its branch is to obey God's command and stay away from His prohibition, its leaves is a concern for virtue, its fruit is charity of obedience, sweetness is when picking it, and its sweet peak is when maturity is perfect when plucked, there the exquisite sweetness. عن أنس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ((ثلاث من كن فيه وجد بهن حلاوة الإيمان: من كان الله ورسوله أحب إليه مما سواهما, وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله, وأن يكره أن يعود في الكفر بعد أن أنقذه الله م ه كما يكره أن يقذف في النار)). (رواه البخاري ومسلم وهذا لفظ مسلم.) From Anas ra, from the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi Wa Sallam. said, "Three things if you have them, you will find the sweetness of faith. (First) one who makes Allah and His Messenger more beloved than any other. (Second) in order to love someone solely because of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. (Third), not happy returning to kufr after being saved by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, as his disobedience is thrown into the fires of hell. "(Muslim Bukhar Muslim with Muslim editors) المطلب أنه سمع وسلم يقول: (رواه مسلم) From Al-Abbas ibn Abdil Muttalib, for he heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) alaihi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). said: "Had tasted the delicious faith of a person who pleased Allah as his Rabb, Islam as his dynasty and Muhammad as his Apostle." (Narrated by Muslim) This hadeeth is a supreme meaning, including the fundamentals of Islam, said the scholars, "The meaning of the sweetness of faith is tends to satisfy the obstacles in reaching the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger, preferring His pleasure from the pleasures of the world, and the love of Allah and His Messenger by carrying out his orders and away from his prohibitions. In the hadith the Messenger of Allaah `alaihi Wa Sallam. explains that three things when you are in it will be found the sweetness of faith, because laden get the sweetness of something is by loving it, then whoever loves something and his love passion, then when managed to get it, he will feel sweet, delicious and joy. a believer who has received the sweetness of faith that mangandung elements of delights and fun will be accompanied by the perfection of a servant's love to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And perfection can be realized with three things.First: perfect love to God that is by making God and His messenger more loved than others, because love to God is not enough just sekedarnya, but must be more than other His Second: make love to God becomes the base of the branch of love to others, that is loving others solely because and for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, so in loving he keeps following the procedures and mechanisms of love that have been established by Allah in the Qur'an and Sunnah, for example, is not seclusion, hastening the marriage contract and avoiding the act of approaching adultery. (not courting) (24: 30-31, 33: 59) Refusing anything contrary to his love, disliking things contrary to belief beyond his displeasure when the he was thrown into the fire of hell. عن عمار بن ياسر قال: ثلاث من كن فيه وجد بهن حلاوة الايمان: الانفاق من الاقتار, وإنصاف الناس من نفسك, وبذل السلام للعالم (رواه عبد الرزاق) علقه البخاري في (كتاب الايمان) Amar bin Yasir said: , "There are three things that anyone who is in it he feels the sweetness of faith, berinfak of stinginess, be fair to man of himself, and seek salvation (salutation) for nature." (Narrated Abdurazzaq, Bukhari listed it in the book of Al-Imman) .Hadits which was delivered by Amar bin Yasir ra. mentioned above, also explains the three things that can bring the sweetness of faith First: berinfak sufficiently, not excessive to menzalimi other rights, but also not miserly with his wealth Second: to be objective, not to prevent him to do good and just to man, although there is the relationship with self-interest, for example, although hurt and tyrannized by a person, but did not prevent him to forgive him and still do good to him Third: Spreading the welfare of the whole universe, fighting for the good of human beings and all other creatures, such as doing charity and charity khidam ijtima'i (social activities) عن ابن مسعود قال: ثلاث من كن فيه يجد بهن حلاوة الايمان: ترك المراء في الحق, والكذب في ا مزاحة, ويعلم أن ما أصابه لم يكن ليخطئه, وأن ما أخطأه لم يكن ليصيبه. Ibn Mas'ud also said, "There are three things that anyone who is in it will feel the sweetness of faith, avoid the debate in the matter of truth, not lie in jesting, and realize that what will befall him not because of his fault and what is his fault "(Narrated Abdurrazzaq) عن أنس مرفوعا:" لا يجد عبد حلاوة الإيمان حتى يعلم أن ما أصابه لم يكن ليخطئه, وأن ما أخطأه لم يكن ليصيبه ... "الحديث. أخرجه ابن أبي عاصم (247) بإسناد حسن عنه. (الألباني - السلسلة الصحيحة) From Anas in marfu 'says, "No servant feels the sweetness of the faith so that he realizes that what will befall him not because of his mistake and what his mistake did not cause him stricken (disaster)." The hadith is issued Ibn Abi Ashim, authentic hadith with a good chain of transmission, embodied in silisilah authentic hadith by Imam Albani. (قل للمؤمنين يغضوا من أبصارهم) * والغض عن المحارم يوجب حلاوة الإيمان, ومن ترك شيئا لله عوضه الله خيرا منه, ومن أطلق لحظاته دامت حسراته. (فيض القدير 1/677). "Say to a male believer to hold their sight ..." (An-Nur: 30). That is holding back from what is forbidden Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. will certainly bring the sweetness of faith, and whoever leaves something for God, then God will replace him with better than him, and whoever frees him even for a moment will be his eternal remorse "عن معاذ بن جبل قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "لو كنت آمرا أحدا أن يسجد لأحد لأمرت المرأة أن تسجد لزوجها من حقه عليها, ولا تجد امرأة حلاوة الإيمان حتى تؤدي حق زوجها, ولو سألها نفسها على قتب." (المعجم الكبير للطبراني) Of Muadh bin Jabal said: Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Sallam said: "Seanda Inya I command a person prostrate to the other, then I will command the wife to prostrate to her husband, because the rights of her husband, and not a woman to get the sweetness of faith so that he fulfill the right of her husband, even though her husband asks for it, while He is on top of his faint قال ابن رجب في (فتح الباري: 1/27): فإذا وجد القلب حلاوة الإيمان أحس بمرارة الكفر والفسوق والعصيان ولهذا قال يوسف عليه السلام: {رب السجن أحب إلي مما يدعونني إليه} [يوسف 33]. Ibn Rajab said in the book Fath al-Bari 1 / 27: "So when a heart has the sweetness of faith, it will sensitively sense the bitterness of kufr, ungodliness and kaatan, that's why Prophet Yusuf US said: "Yes Rabb! The dancers prefer me more than what they cry out to me "(Surah Yusuf: 33).
