TheArabic goes, "Rabbi auzi'ni an ashkura ni'mathak." The translation of auzi'ni is "enable me." However, if we go into the literal meaning of the word, it is, "gather within me the utmost strength and ability" to be thankful or grateful for Your favors and blessings.
Jakarta - Dalam sejumlah ayat pada Al-Qur'an termuat berbagai macam doa yang bisa dipanjatkan seorang hamba. Termasuk bacaan doa untuk kedua orang tua yang dapat tua adalah mereka yang telah berjasa dalam membesarkan seorang anak. Sosok ibu yang mengandung hingga menyusui, juga figur ayah yang mencari nafkah untuk kelangsungan jasa yang telah dilakukan orang tua, sepatutnya bagi anak untuk membalas kebaikan mereka itu. Dapat berupa baktinya kepada mereka dengan tidak menyakiti, berkata ramah, hingga berperilaku sopan terhadap keduanya. Selain itu, wujud bakti anak untuk membalas orang tuanya yang paling berharga dan penuh makna yakni dengan mendoakan mereka. Memohonkan ampunan, rahmat, serta kasih sayang Allah SWT untuk demikian termasuk kewajiban serta perlakuan baik anak yang Allah SWT firmankan dalam Surat Al-Ahqaf ayat 15وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ اِحْسَانًا ۗحَمَلَتْهُ اُمُّهٗ كُرْهًا وَّوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا ۗوَحَمْلُهٗ وَفِصٰلُهٗ ثَلٰثُوْنَ شَهْرًا ۗحَتّٰىٓ اِذَا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗ وَبَلَغَ اَرْبَعِيْنَ سَنَةًۙ قَالَ رَبِّ اَوْزِعْنِيْٓ اَنْ اَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِيْٓ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَيَّ وَاَنْ اَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضٰىهُ وَاَصْلِحْ لِيْ فِيْ ذُرِّيَّتِيْۗ اِنِّيْ تُبْتُ اِلَيْكَ وَاِنِّيْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَLatin Wa waṣṣainal-insāna biwālidaihi iḥsānān, ḥamalathu ummuhū kurhaw wa waḍa'athu kurhān, wa ḥamluhū wa fiṣāluhū ṡalāṡūna syahrān, ḥattā iżā balaga asyuddahū wa balaga arba'īna sanahtan, qāla rabbi auzi'nī an asykura ni'matakal-latī an'amta 'alayya wa 'alā wālidayya wa an a'mala ṣāliḥan tarḍāhu wa aṣliḥ lī fī żurriyyatī, innī tubtu ilaika wa innī minal-muslimīna.Artinya Kami wasiatkan kepada manusia agar berbuat baik kepada kedua orang tuanya. Ibunya telah mengandungnya dengan susah payah dan melahirkannya dengan susah payah pula. Mengandung sampai menyapihnya itu selama tiga puluh bulan. Sehingga, apabila telah dewasa dan umurnya mencapai empat puluh tahun, dia anak itu berkata, "Wahai Tuhanku, berilah petunjuk agar aku dapat mensyukuri nikmat-Mu yang telah Engkau anugerahkan kepadaku dan kepada kedua orang tuaku, dapat beramal saleh yang Engkau ridai, dan berikanlah kesalehan kepadaku hingga kepada anak cucuku. Sesungguhnya aku bertobat kepada-Mu dan sesungguhnya aku termasuk orang-orang muslim."Merujuk buku Untaian Mutiara Doa susunan Ali Manshur, tak hanya memerintahkan hamba-Nya untuk menghormati orang tua, Allah SWT mensyariatkan pula untuk mendoakan ini dibuktikan dengan tersebarnya sejumlah doa untuk kedua orang tua dalam beberapa ayat Al-Qur'an, sebagai berikut1. Surat Al-Isra ayat 24وَٱخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًاArab-Latin Wakhfiḍ lahumā janāḥaż-żulli minar-raḥmati wa qur rabbir-ḥam-humā kamā rabbayānī ṣagīrāArtinya Dan rendahkanlah dirimu terhadap mereka berdua dengan penuh kesayangan dan ucapkanlah "Wahai Tuhanku, kasihilah mereka keduanya, sebagaimana mereka berdua telah mendidik aku waktu kecil".2.

Aku memohon pula masukkanlah aku dengan rahmat-Mu ke dalam golongan hamba-hamba-Mu yang saleh."4. Surat Al-Ahqaf ayat 15رَبِّ اَوْزِعْنِيْٓ اَنْ اَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِيْٓ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَيَّ وَاَنْ اَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضٰىهُ وَاَصْلِحْ لِيْ فِيْ ذُرِّيَّتِيْۗ اِنِّيْ تُبْتُ اِلَيْكَ وَاِنِّيْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَRabbi auzi'nii an asykura ni'matakal latii an'amta 'alayya wa 'alaa waalidayya wa an a'mala shaalihan tardhaahu wa ashlih lii fii dzurriyyatii innii tubtu ilaika wa innii minal muslimiinArtinya "Wahai Tuhanku, berilah petunjuk agar aku dapat mensyukuri nikmat-Mu yang telah Engkau anugerahkan kepadaku dan kepada kedua orang tuaku, dapat beramal saleh yang Engkau ridai, dan berikanlah kesalehan kepadaku hingga kepada anak cucuku.

Islam is a religion of equality and fairness. It condemns ruthless business tactics that try to deceive and take advantage of people. It rewards those who through disciplined action earned their wealth. In the end, it’s in Allah’s decree who will actually achieve success, but many use this as an excuse for not getting out of bed and doing the necessary work. This takes away any personal responsibility from the individual and is not a good attitude to adopt. The following Hadith tells a story of self-reliance of Prophet Dawud. Allah’s Messenger pbuh said, “The Prophet David used not to eat except from the earnings of his manual labor.” Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 2073 In-book reference Book 34, Hadith 26 By the end of this article you should know the duas to recite for rizq or sustenance, have a healthy and halal perspective on money, and understand the importance of self-reliance. The Messenger of Allah Used To Say This Supplication During Fajr Prayer. TRANSLITERATION Allaahumma innee assaluka ilman nafia, wa rizzqan tayyeebun, wa amalan mutaqabilan.’ TRANSLATION O Allaah indeed I ask You for beneficial knowledge, and a good Halal provision, and actions which are accepted.’ Narrated Anas My mother said, “O Allah’s Messenger ﷺ! Please invoke Allah on behalf of your servant.” He responded, “Rabbanaaa aatina fid dunyaa hasanatawn wa fil aakhirati hasanatanw wa qinaa azaaban Naar” TRANSLATION “O Allah! increase his wealth and offspring, and bless for him what ever you give him” a time of distress. Verse 201 From Surah Al-Baqarah TRANSLITERATION Rabbanaaa aatina fid dunyaa hasanatawn wa fil aakhirati hasanatanw wa qinaa azaaban Naar TRANSLATION But among them is he who says, “Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” Developing A Healthy Relationship With Money The thing about money in Islam is comes down to three issues how you obtained, the way feel about it, and how you use it. How You Obtained It There is nothing wrong with wanting to earn money. The problem lies with halal verses haram ways of acquiring it. The basis for buying and selling in Islam is fairly common sense. It’s all about fairness and justice. You are allowed to turn a profit sell something at a higher price than you purchased but it should be a fair dealing. There is a verse in the Quran regarding this. It warns Muslims against cheating others for a small gains as they will bare the price on day of judgement. “Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment”. Quran 377 Related Post How To Increase Your Wealth Through Sabr There’s another hadith about being lenient and generous when negotiating Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said, “May Allah’s mercy be on him who is lenient in his buying, selling, and in demanding back his money.” Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 2076 In-book reference Book 34, Hadith 29 Allah’s Messenger pbuh said, “The seller and the buyer have the right to keep or return goods as long as they have not parted or till they part; and if both the parties spoke the truth and described the defects and qualities of the goods, then they would be blessed in their transaction, and if they told lies or hid something, then the blessings of their transaction would be lost.” Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 2079 In-book reference Book 34, Hadith 32 How You Feel About Money The dangers of money comes when the pursuit of it is more important to than practicing faith. The love of money and pleasure gained from achieving it is haram and a great sin. In Quran, chapter 57 verse 20 Allah says, “Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children – like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion. “Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion” 5720 What happens to most men who achieve success is they become egotistic believing their success is a result of their intelligence. They often forget they labored for wealth but it was Allah who provided it for them. Being wealthy can be a gift or a curse. Allah despises pride and money often causes weak people to behave irrationally. They fail to remain humble and will suffer the consequence of this. In Surah Luqman Ayat 38, Allah says “And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful.” There’s an important distinction we can make between being proud and having pride. One is self-congratulations, a sign of a maturity while he other is about seeking congratulations. A sign of immaturity. How You Spend Your Wealth If having achieved some level of financial success the true test comes in how you choose to spend it. One of the greatest rewards you can do is to give zakat charity. The Prophet saws said, “The upper hand is better than the lower one the spending hand is better than the receiving hand; and begin charity with those who are under your care; and the best charity is that which given out of surplus; and he who asks Allah to help him abstain from the unlawful and the forbidden, Allah will fulfill his wish; and he who seeks self-sufficiency will be made self-sufficient by Allah” Riyad As-Salihin The Book of Miscellany Hadith 296 Narrated Abu Masud Al-Badri The Prophet saws said, “A man’s spending on his family is a deed of charity.” Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 4006 In-book reference Book 64, Hadith 57 You May Also Be Interested In Understanding The Reason Why Pork Is Haram Wanting to have money so you can bring about change is honorable goal to have. But there’s an important lesson worth emphasizing. You do not need to be rich in order to give zakat. It was reported by Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah said “Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you. Your seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you. Your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you.” Grade Hasan Darussalam Reference Jami at-Tirmidhi 1956 In-book reference Book 27, Hadith 62 Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, Importance of Self Reliance Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. Quran 1311 What this ayat means is simple; if you want things to change for you, you have to change. If you want things to get better for you, you have to get better. Allah will seek that you are taken care, but first you must change your internal condition. See, when you achieve something through your own hard-work it will feel much better than simply being given it. The fulfillment comes from the journey and overcoming the adversity that was required to achieve the goal. Not actually reaching the goal itself. That’s why most people who win the lottery report being less happy after the initial rush has passed. Narrated Al-Miqdam The Prophet saws said, “Nobody has ever eaten a better meal than that which one has earned by working with one’s own hands. Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 2072 In-book reference Book 34, Hadith 25 Here are a few other hadiths that show the importance of self-reliance The Prophet ﷺ of Allah, David used to eat from the earnings of his manual labor.” Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 2072 In-book reference Book 34, Hadith 25 Narrated Abu Huraira Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said, “No doubt, it is better for any one of you to cut a bundle of wood and carry it over his back rather than to ask someone who may or may not give him.” Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 2074 In-book reference Book 34, Hadith 27 Narrated Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam The Prophet ﷺ said, “One would rather take a rope and cut wood and carry it than ask others Reference Sahih al-Bukhari 2075 In-book reference Book 34, Hadith 28 Conclusion “If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more.” Surah Ibrahim 147 Let us be grateful to Allah SWT for what he has given us. The chances are everybody reading this is much more richer than they credit themselves for. A fun thought experiment is asking yourself would you trade places with Warren Buffet? He is the 3rd richest man in the world net worth of 83 billion. Before you jump and say yes, I will tell you his age which is 88 years old.

And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants.” Surah Naml Ayat 19 In Surah An-Naml, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala begins to disclose information and details so we can learn about Prophet Suleiman as and his character. It extends from ayat 15 to 44 and we encourage you to read these verses in there entirety. In these verses, we learn that Allah swt had bestowed his blessings upon Prophet Suleiman and Dawud as. “And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, [Alhamdulillah] “Praise [is due] to Allah, who has favored us over many of His believing servants.” 2715 It is a very special case as Prophet Sulaiman was the son of Dawud as and had inherited his Prophethood and dominion. It is clear that this inheritance was not material as Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said Our property [prophets’ property] cannot be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity. Hadith Reference Narrated Aisha Fatima and Al Abbas came to Abu Bakr, seeking their share from the property of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and at that time, they were asking for their land at Fadak and their share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said to them, “I have heard from Allah’s Messenger ﷺ saying, Our property cannot be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity, but the family of Muhammad may take their provisions from this property.” Abu Bakr added, “By Allah, I will not leave the procedure I saw Allah’s Messenger ﷺ following during his lifetime concerning this property.” Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not speak to him till she died. Sahih al-Bukhari 6725 So when Prophet Sulaiman as became king he made du’a to Allah asking for a kingdom that no one has ever had or ever will have. “My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower.” Surah Sad Ayat 35 We are all given unique and special qualities and here we learn that Allah bestowed upon Prophet Sulaiman as and Dawud as knowledge. Prophet Sulaiman was also given power to command winds, control both men and jinns, and he could understand the speech of ants. If he wanted to extract resources from the bottom of the sea he could just order his troops and it would be done. “So We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed, And [also] the devils [of jinn] – every builder and diver. And others bound together in irons. [We said], “This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account.” Surah Sad Ayat 36-39 How does the Qur’an tell us they responded to be given these gifts? It’s with gratitude, they said Alhamdulillah. They felt a deep appreciation that they were favored over many of Allah’s slaves with these gifts. If you start with the same premise of how you are blessed rather than focusing on what you lack, you’ll begin to feel the same desire to thank Allah. Whatever you focus on in your mind is how you will feel, if you begin by asking yourself better questions, you’ll get a better result. If you are constantly thinking about how evil or unjust the world is then you will surely find many examples that coincide with this belief. The world will reflect your feelings towards it back at you. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves and focusing on what we lack, we should search to find the many blessings Allah has already given us. Also, notice how the Prophet’s thanked Allah for the attributes they were blessed with, it is not a subject of pride but humility. .rabbi auzi ni an ashkura
