Memberi itu Mulia

salam, salam khamis :)

Sehari lagi kita meninggalkan semalam, maknanya sehari lagilah kita ke depan mendekati bulan ramadhan. Hopefully, kita akan sibuk memperbanyakkan amalan (insyaAllah) dan bukanla semata memperbanyakkan kan makan (masa berbuka hehe, hi cakap untuk diri sendiri ke Erma hehe) dan tidaklah sangat memperhabiskan banyak duit (untuk persiapan raya,- isi rumah, perhiasan badan dan baju kasut :)).

Ya, bulan ramadan is a good month to do good deed - but it is not the only month for us to bersedekah, menjenguk rumah anak yatim, dan sebagainya. Saya sendiri bukanlah selalu :( melakukan amal jariah social sebegini but saya sungguh kagum dengan a few of my friends who really go a long way in doing good deeds.

Ada seorang Sipolan yang akan menyewa satu pick up besar, ask contribution in the form of food supplies from friends and help to distribute these during ramadan. I have known her for a few years and I know that she does this every year without fail. Bukan sahaja sedekah, but she also collect our fidyah payment or zakat to be allocated to a few orphanage on our behalf. She does this sendiri and ajak 2, 3 orang kawan-kawan yang free during weekend to help her - angkat dan hantar barang.

Or another sipolan (nama semua tidak diwar war kan sebab orang yang berbuat baik tidak mengharapkan publicity murahan :)), yang membeli 3, 5 helai telekung sederhana harga untuk diletakkan di mana mana surau yang dia singgah. It can be shopping complexes or any other surau. She has a few pieces of telekung ready in her car - on and off. Once, I asked her, buat apa banyak banyak telekung ni - masa tu la I tau apa yang dia buat. Baik budi sungguh.

Or another sipolan who sometimes drop by surau at the shopping complexes and collect dirty telekung, bring them home and return them cleaned the following week. Pergi tengok wayang every week yet still mencari ruang menambah pahala. Bagus kan?

Or another friend who went around the office asking for a contribution for a new orphanage room. Songkok, baju sekolah and all. And she got her friends to contribute a bit here and there.

Or a sweet friend of mine who sells thai silk from time to time, at a very minimum marked-up price just to get rm 20 profit to help the clubfoot association. - iyala nak keluarkan duit sendiri nak tolong belikan kasut untuk semua, ada limitation sebab duit kita pun terhad kan so she generates the fund in the way that she knows how. that is a very kind gesture.

Or another sipolan who bank in a little bit extra money that she has, into the rumah-anak-yatim's account. - only when she has extra - not much rm 50 at the least and a few hundred when she got more.

Maybe kita tak boleh nak jadi macam angelina jolie :) or the late princess D or bintang bintang ternama lain yang ada charity organization or foundation , jadi duta kemanusian bangsa bangsa bersatu bagai, but we can contribute in the smallest possible way that kita mampu. Tidak boleh selalu, kadang kadang. Tidak boleh banyak, sikit.

Most of us are actually quiet generous - the giving part is actually very easy - apa yang termampu kan, the opportunity to give to the right organization or the right cause is not alway there. - tidak di depan mata. Kalau ada depan mata pun kadang kita sangsi sebab kita tak kenal pengutipnya, macam orang orang yang meminta contribution depan depan bank yang bawak surat bina madrasah and all tu kan. But when there is somebody that we know, take the trouble to coordinate the whole thing, I believe that most of us certainly want to be part of it.

Sekadar berkongsi cerita :), untuk diri sendiri jugak - mudah - mudahan kita semua dimurahkan rezeki and memanjangkan kemurahan kita.:)

Till later, Have a good one :) whatever it is k
