Improving the intention and sincere efforts
in it and evaluate and observe before we do an action is a solution to
successfully achieve the real mission of life, which won the blessing of Allah
SWT in the world and in the hereafter. Because intent is a milestone and a
barometer and the life of every deed or foundation of every charity. While all
deeds and actions and speech, both bad and valid whether or not depends on the
intention. As the Prophet said
Truly the deeds depend on their intentions,
and indeed each person's actions depend on his intentions. (Muttafaq 'alaih)
So do not do an act, action, speech or other,
do not even cross a trajectory in the heart unless it is accompanied by good
intentions, that is to get closer to Allah SWT and seek His reward and
blessings. But no one can apply it except because of God's gift of taufik and
hidayah.
Told that there is a king who wants to build
a mosque in his country. He has declared and announced that no one has helped
him in building the mosque, either by treasure or by anything else. Because he
wants his mosque is solely built with his wealth without the help of anyone. He
even poses a threat of sanctions for those who help him. And when it is
completed the construction of the mosque, then put his name on the mosque.
One night he dreamed as if the angel had
descended from the sky then erased the king's name from the mosque. And
instead, the mosque was written in the name of a woman. When he awoke from his
sleep, he awoke in a state of fear. Then he ordered his subordinates to see if
his name in the mosque was still on display? So their guards went out and then
they came back and told him that his name still remained in the mosque while
his bodyguard said, "This may be a sleeping flower that does not mean O
king."
Then on the second night, the king dreamed
like a dream on the first night. That angels descend from the sky and remove
the king's name from the mosque. And instead he wrote the name of a woman. In
the morning, he wakes up from his sleep and again sends his bodyguards to see
if his name is still emblazoned inside the mosque. And when they had come back
and told him that his name was still there, the king was amazed by what had
happened in the dream the first night and the second night and he was angry
with it.
On the third night, it repeated the same
dream as the first night and the second. When the king awakens from his sleep
and remembers who the name of the woman who changed his name, then sought a
woman with the name and brought to him. Then came the woman. Apparently she is
an old woman, who is very fakir, even her body trembling. When asked by the
king, "Did you help me in building the mosque?" So the woman replied,
"O king ... I am an old woman and I am a poor woman. I have heard that you
have forbidden anyone to help in the construction of the mosque. I ask you in
the name of Allah SWT ... what have you done related to the construction of
this mosque? "So he replied," By Allah SWT ... I do not do anything
Associated with the construction of this mosque. It's just ... "Then he
paused. Then the king asked, "It's just what?" Then the woman
replied, "It's just that one time when I walked beside the mosque, I saw a
camel tied up loading the building materials, I saw it desperately wanting to get
closer to A bucket of water not far from it to drink it. It's just that he can
not approach him because he is tied with a rope tied to the wood. Though I see
it very thirsty and desperately want that water. So then I got up to bring the
water to the camel so he could drink it. That's all I can do with this mosque.
"Then the king said," Glorified Allah SWT ... You have done something
because Allah SWT, then Allah SWT accept it from you. And I did something not
because of Allah SWT, but I did it so that it was written my name, in order to
say the mosque is my mosque, then Allah SWT did not receive it from me.
"So the king ordered the name of the poor and the poor woman became the
name of the mosque. And he gets this blessing thanks to his good intentions
even without the action of him which troubles and commits him.
