Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Ngokulandisa kuka Tirmidhi no Hakim ku-Ibn Umar, uMprofethi (ukuthula nokubusiswa kuka Allah kube kuye) wathi:
“Uma umuntu kini evulelwa umnyango womthandazo, usuke evulelwe iminyango yomusa. Akukho okunye okuthandeka kakhulu kuNkulunkulu ngaphezu kokucela kuye impilo enhle. Umthandazo uyasiza kokubili okwenzekile nokungakenzeki. Ngakho-ke, bafowethu, ngenani emthandazweni!”
(Kenzu’l-Ummal, 2/64/h. No: 3130)
Kuleli hadithini singaqonda lokhu:
Umthandazo uyindlela yokukhonza.
Njengoba yonke imikhuleko inesikhathi sayo esithile, kanjalo nokuthandaza kunomkhawulo wesikhathi. Njengoba umkhuleko unengxenye yefardhu nengxenye yanafıla, kanjalo nokuthandaza kunengxenye yefardhu nengxenye yanafıla. Imikhuleko yanafıla ingakhulekwa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, kodwa imikhuleko yefardhu kumele ikhulekwe ngezikhathi ezithile.
Ukuthandaza njalo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kukhona usizi noma cha, kuyinto eyize. Kodwa ukuthandaza ngesikhathi sosizi noma ubunzima, kufana nokuthi kuyisibopho. Kusho ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokukwenza.
“Umthandazo uyisisekelo sokukhonza.”
(Tirmidhi, Da’awat 1)
Kungenzeka ukubona lobu budlelwano obusondelene phakathi kokukhulekela nomthandazo kule hadith enencazelo enjalo.
Nakhu okugqanyiswe kule hadith esikhuluma ngayo:
Uma sekukuvulekele umnyango womthandazo, okusho ukuthi sekufike isimo esidinga ukuthi ucele usizo kuNkulunkulu, sekuyisikhathi sokuthandaza. Ukufika kwesikhathi somthandazo kusho ukuvulwa kweminyango yomusa. Ngakho-ke, uma uNkulunkulu ekukuvulele umnyango wosizi, usuke ekukuvulele umnyango womthandazo, ekufikise esikhathini sokukhonza ngomthandazo. Ukufika kwakho kulesi sikhathi sokukhonza kuyinkomba yokuvulwa kweminyango yomusa kuwe. Ngoba,
“Ukube uNkulunkulu wayengafuni ukunika, wayengeke anikeze isifiso sokucela.”
Ngokomthetho, ukuthi uNkulunkulu avulele umuntu iminyango yomthandazo ngokumletha usizi, kusho ukuthi ufuna ukumvulela iminyango yomusa. Ukube wayengafuni ukwamukela umthandazo wakhe nokumvulela iminyango yomusa, wayengeke amvulele umnyango wokuthandaza.
Nokho, uNkulunkulu uyena onqumayo ukuthi umthandazo uyophendulwa kanjani, nini, nangayiphi indlela.
Njengoba umthandazo uyindlela yokukhonza, imivuzo yezindlela zokukhonza inikezwa ngemuva kokufa, ngakho-ke imivuzo yangempela yomthandazo inikezwa ngemuva kokufa, futhi izinhliziyo zokuvula iminyango yomusa zivulwa ngale mivuzo.
Izicelo ezithandazelwayo, noma zithole impendulo emhlabeni noma cha, zizoba nomvuzo omuhle ngokuqinisekile ngale kwalomhlaba. Uma leyo mpindulo itholakala nasezweni, khona-ke kuba yisibusiso phezu kwesibusiso.
“Yithi: Uma ngabe umthandazo wenu ukhona, uMkhulu wami angakunika yini inani?”
(Furkan, 25/77)
Le ndima yale ndima ikhombisa ukubaluleka komthandazo.
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
