Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Kufanele kucatshangelwe amaphuzu ambalwa kafushane ukuze kucaciswe le ndaba:
Ku-Islam
“Ukwesaba isijeziso sikaNkulunkulu nokuthemba umusa wakhe”
noma
“Ungaqiniseki ngesijeziso sikaNkulunkulu futhi ungalahli ithemba ngomusa wakhe.”
Inenkolelo-mphefumulo inendawo ebalulekile njengomgomo wenkolo. Ngakho-ke, akekho umuntu onelungelo lokwenza noma lokucabanga ngokuphambene nalomgomo. Ngisho nabantu abashumi ababizwa ngokuthi “Aşere-i Mübeşşere” / abaprofethwa ngepharadisi besaphila, ukuziphatha kwabo ngokuzithoba okukhulu kunabo bonke abanye abantu empilweni yabo, kufingqa isimo sabakholwa beqiniso kule ndaba.
Nokho, kuye ngesimo sabantu, abanye bangase bazizwe besindwa kakhulu yintshaba, abanye besindwa kakhulu yithemba. Labo abasindwa yithemba bangase bayithathele phansi intshaba, babheke umusa ongapheli abawukholelwa ngokuqinile ngomdlandla wethemba. Ngakho-ke,
“ubusuku bokufa”
akukho
“Ubusuku bomshado”
akukho lutho oluphambene nokholo ekuhlaziyeni kwabo.
Futhi, okholweni
ubuciko bukaNkulunkulu
kuyanda,
uthando lukaNkulunkulu
Uthando olubizwa ngalo, nalo luyokhula ngaleyo ndlela. Lolu thando olukhula ngokuya ngemizwa, luvame ukungawulaleli umqondo. Ngoba, “amehlo othando ayaphofa”. Lolu thando oluyengayo, ngezinye izikhathi lungamenza umuntu angayinanzi “ukwesaba isihogo”, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini imbangela yalo.
Kithina abantu abanjengathi abangazi kahle ukuthi uthando lwaphezulu luyini, ukuthi sithi alusebenzi kwabanye kuyinto engenabulungiswa. Ngisho nasezothandweni ezingokomfanekiso, kunezibonelo eziningi zothando olwaletha abathandi ekufeni. Njengoba umuthi wothando lwangempela unamandla kakhulu kunomuthi wothando olungokomfanekiso, akukho okungokwemvelo kunokuba labo abalangazelela ukubona ubuhle bukaNkulunkulu bakhohlwe yizulu nangesihogo.
“Inhliziyo yami ayinayo uthando lwezulu, futhi ayinayo ukwesaba isihogo…”
Nakuba singenakuba nalo muzwa kaBediüzzaman, asikaze sibe nokungabaza ngobukhona bawo. U-Imam Gazali naye, encwadini yakhe i-Ihya, esahlukweni sothando, ukhombe emazingeni ahlukahlukene othando, waphinda wanikeza izibonelo zabantu abazinikele ngenxa yothando olungokomfanekiso. Ugcizelele ukuthi akulungile ukuba labo abangazi ukuthi yini uthando olungokomfanekiso nolwangempela baluphike.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuthanda nokufisa ukufa akusho ukuthi umuntu akasabi uNkulunkulu noma akamhloniphi njalo. Ukwesaba uNkulunkulu kunezigaba eziningi. Abanye besaba isijeziso sikaNkulunkulu, abanye besaba intukuthelo yakhe, kanti abanye besaba ukulimaza umusa wakhe noma ukungahloniphi ubukhulu bakhe ngisho nangokuncane. Ukwesaba kwabantu abasesikhundleni esinjalo, ukuzithoba kwabo, lolu hlobo lokwesaba olucashile. Ngempela, uMprofethi (ukuthula nokubusiswa kukaNkulunkulu kube phezu kwakhe) naye, nakuba ayazi ukuthi uya epharadesi,
“Mina ngiyamthanda uNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwenu nonke.”
usho kanjalo.
Ngokufingqa;
Labo abazi kahle izimo zothando olungokomfanekiso oludumile emhlabeni, njengolukaMecnun noLeyla, olukaFerhat noŞirin, nolukaTahir noZühre, ngeke bakuthola kunzima ukuqonda isimo sokuzithoba esidalwa uthando lwangempela. Abathandi bothando lwaphezulu, ngenxa yokufuna ukuhlangana, ngenxa yokufuna ukuthola ukuthula, ngenxa yokufuna ukubona ubuhle obungcwele…
“umusa nentukuthelo ziyafana”
obonayo futhi
“Umnikelo wakho muhle, nentukuthelo yakho muhle.”
Labo abathi bayakujabulela lokhu, kudingeka ukuba bathuthuke ekwaziseni uNkulunkulu, ekumthandeni, ekuziphatheni ngendlela efanele, ukuze bafinyelele kule njoya yabo engokomoya. UNkulunkulu akasiphe sonke lokhu. (AMEN!)
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
