“من روائع الادب الفارسي السني ..سعدي شيرازي
أبدع سعدي الشيرازي (1219م- 1294م ) روائع لازال الأدب الفارسي يحتفى بها، أخرج إلى الناس أجمل النصوص الأدبية التي تمزج بين الفائدة والمتعة، وجعلها قمة بلاغية، سهلة ممتنعة، سهلة حين تقترب منها، لكنها ممتنعة حين تتجرأ على مجاراتها، فأضحى سعدي مدرسة أدبية قائمة بذاتها، إذ اعتبر أب النثر الفارسي، استطاع كذلك أن يمزج بين خلاصات تجاربه، بعد ثلاثة عقود تنقل فيها بين الكثير من البلدان والثقافات، لذلك تأهل ليكون رمز المحبة الإنسانية، واستحق أن يزين مدخل مقر الأمم المتحدة في نيويورك بأبياته الشهيرة: ( أبناء آدم بعضهم من بعض، في أصلهم خلقوا من جوهر واحد

إن أصاب الدهر أحد الأعضاء بألم، استجابت له باقي الأعضاء بالاضطراب،
إن كنت لا تبالي بمحن الآخرين، فأنت لا تستحق أن تسمى آدمي).

عرف سعدي الشيرازي بآثاره الفارسية أكثر من غيرها، إلا أنه نادرا ما تذكر نصوصه الشعرية والنثرية التي أبدعها بلسان عربي جميل، عبر فيها عن وسعة أفقه ورهافة حسه الإنساني، بالإضافة إلى أن هذه النصوص تؤكد الانتماء الحضاري المنفتح والممتد لشاعر قضى أكثر عمره في السير والحكمة..يقول سعدي في إحدى مواعظه العربية:

عيب علي وعدوان على الناس
إذا وعظت وقلبي جلمد قاس
رب اعف عني وهب لي مابكيت أسى
إني على فرط أيام مضت آس
مر الصبا وأبيض ناصيتي
شيبا، فحتى متى يسود كراسي
يالهف عصر شباب مر لاهية
لالهو بعد اشتعال الشيب في راسي

ولما اشتد به ألم العشق، أنشد سعدي يقول:

تعذر صمت الواجدين فصاحوا
ومن صاح وجدا ماعليه جناح
أسروا حديث العشق ما أمكن التقى
وإن غلب الشوق الشديد فباحوا
سرى طيف من يجلو بطلعته الدجى
وسائر ليل المقبلين صباح
يطاف عليهم والخليون نوم
ويسقون من كأس المدامع راح

ولما طغى عليه حال المحبة، أنشد:

أصبحت مفتونا بأعين أهيفا
لاأستطيع الصبر عنه تعففا
والستر في دين المحبة بدعة
أهوى وإن غضب الرقيب وعفا
وطريق مسلوب الفؤاد تحمل
من قال اوه من الجفاء فقد جفا
دع ترمني بسهام لحظ فاتك
من رام قوس الحاجبين تهدفا
صياد قلب فوق حبة خاله
شرك يصيد الزاهد المتقشفا

وعندما سقطت بغداد في مخالب هولاكو، وبعد قتل الخليفة العباسي المسعتصم بالله، فاضت مدامعه، فقال:

حبست بجفني المدامع لا تجري
فلما طغى الماء استطال على السكر
نسيم صبا بغداد بعد خرابها
تمنيت لو كانت تمر على قبري
لأن هلاك النفس عند أولي النهى
أحب لهم من عيش منقبض الصدر
زجرت طبيبا جس نبضي مداويا
إليك، فما شكواي من مرض يبري
لزمت اصطبارا حيث كنت مفارقا
وهذا فراق لا يعالج بالصبر

هذه هي زفرات سعدي العربية، موعظة ورثاء وغزل، نستطيع أن نسميها عربية القلب والوجدان، وهذا هو سعدي في جلبابه العربي، يؤكد انسجام الشعوب الإسلامية في إحدى مراحلها التاريخية، انسجام رواه الشعر كما خلدته أعمال ومكرمات لازلنا نذكرها”
― الشاعر السعدي الشيرازي

“Terkadang kelompok yang anti madzhab menggugat kita dengan pendapat sang pendiri madzhab atau para ulama dalam madzhab yang kita ikuti, seakan-akan mereka lebih konsisten dari kita dalam bermadzhab. Kaum Wahhabi ketika menggugat kita agar meninggalkan tahlilan dan selamatan tujuh hari selalu beralasan dengan pendapat al-Imam as-Syafi'i yang mengatakan bahawa hadiah pahala bacaan al-Qur'an tidak akan sampai kepada mayit, atau pendapat kitab I'anah al-Thalibin yang melarang acara selamatan tahlilan selama tujuh hari. Padahal selain al-Imam as-Syafi'i menyatakan sampai.

Kita kadang menjadi bingung menyikapi mereka. Terkadang mereka menggugat kita karena bermadzhab, yang mereka anggap telah meninggalkan al-Qur'an dan Sunnah. Dan terkadang mereka menggugat kita dengan pendapat imam madzhab dan apra ulama madzhab. Padahal mereka sering menyuarakan anti madzhab.

Pada dasarnya kelompok anti madzhab itu bermadzhab. Hanay saja madzhab mereka berbeda dengan madzhab mayoritas kaum Muslimin. Ketika mereka menyuarakan anti tawassul, maka sebenarnya mereka mengikut pendapat Ibn Taimiyah dan Ibn Abdil Wahhab al-Najdi. Sedangkan kaum Muslimin yang bertawassul, mengikuti Rasulullah SAW, para sahabat, seluruh ulama salaf dan ahli hadits.

Ketika mereka menyuarakan shalat tarawih 11 raka'at, maka sebenarnya mereka mengikut pendapat Nashiruddin al-Albani, seorang tukang jam yang beralih profesi menjadi muhaddits tanpa bimbingan seorang guru, dengan belajar secara otodidak di perpustakaan. Sedangkan kaum Muslimin yang tarawih 23 raka'at, mengikuti Sayidina Umar, para sahabat dan seluruh ulama salaf yang saleh yang tidak diragukan keilmuannya.

Ketika mereka menyuarakan anti madzhab, maka sebenarnya mereka mengikut Rasyid Ridha, Muhammad Abduh dan Ibn Abdil Wahhab. Sedangkan kaum Muslimin yang bermadzhab, mengikuti ulama salaf dan seluruh ahli hadits. Demikian pula ketika mereka menyuarakan anti bid'ah hasanah, makas ebenarnya mereka mengikuti madzhab Rasyid Ridha dan Ibn Abdil Wahhab al-Najid. Sedangkan kaum Muslimin yang berpendapat adanya bid'ah hasanah, mengikuti Rasulullah SAW, Khulafaur Rasyidin, para sahabat, ulama salaf dan hali hadits.”

“Muslim scholars have clarified that two basic conditions must be fulfilled for the acceptance of righteous deeds. Firstly, the intention must be to perform those deeds for Allah’s sake alone, without any showing off or desire to gain praise or fame. Secondly, such deeds must be performed in accordance with the Sunnah of Allah’s Messenger (sa)”
― Mohammad Rahman

“Why have not Al-Bukhari himself wrote what he has collected? Is it really possible for Muslims to depend on writers about whom they know nothing; and, consequently, build a whole religion on nothing but a guess?”

“Someone once asked a spiritual master, “What is the end of the path?” The master replied, “The path has no end because the Beloved has no end.”

“The human being was created for something more than just living and dying by our egos and desires. Like granite, our egos are transformed and purified by the heat of worldly trials and friction into the precious ruby of the spirit. We were not sent to this Earth to achieve something, but rather to become what we have always been—a mirror for the divine qualities of Allah. We were created to know, love and worship Allah through purifying our hearts and becoming representatives of Allah’s mercy upon all of creation without discrimination.”

“As Rumi says, “Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” As Muslims we are called to guide one another, advise one another and to celebrate one another. The Qur’an’s command toward “enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong” (Qur’an 3:104) is not an excuse for judging and shaming each other. As my teacher once said, “If you can’t counsel someone from love, then don’t counsel them because if you advise others from a place of judgment then you are fostering the quality of arrogance within you.”

“As Muslims we can advise one another from love, but the role of the Divine Judge, Al-Hakam, is purely reserved for Allah alone. As Muslims we can’t be harsh with the creation and expect the Creator of that creation to be soft with us. In fact, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم tells us, “The merciful will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One in the heavens will have mercy upon you.”

“মুমিন জীবনের সকল বিষয়ের ন্যায় বিশ্বাস বা আকীদার বিষয়েও সুন্নাতের হুবহু অনুসরণই নাজাতের একমাত্র পথ।”

“Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I have left two things with you. As long as you hold fast to them, you will not go astray. They are the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet.”
― according to the Muwatta by Malik ibn Anas

“From the greatest of things that Allaah can bless a worshiper with, is the light of sound correct understanding, the light of emaan in your heart. From the most significant of things that Allaah can grant a Muslim with, which is more valuable what various forms of wealth, and anything other things of this world, is true emaan, true fearing of Allaah in our lives, sincere humbleness in our acts of worship, and as such He makes you someone who is directed away from things He is not pleased with….”
― Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Ramzaan al Haajiree

“....Therefore, it becomes clear that this desired goal which leads to true success, as has been mentioned, is only possible through the seeking of beneficial knowledge, meaning Sharee’ah knowledge, from its carriers- the scholars. Similarly, what is meant by the term ‘scholars’ are those people of knowledge from the saved and victorious group of Muslims who have always remained upon the guidance of the Messenger, may Allaah’s praise and His salutations be upon him and his Companions, inwardly and outwardly, in every generation and age. They are the people of true guidance, the well-grounded scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah from the early generations, the later generations, and our present day scholars.
We must recognize them and affirm their position, defend their honor, and strive to assist and cooperate with them because they carry and preserve the inheritance of the Messenger of Allaah, may Allaah’s praise and salutations be upon him.”

“A shopkeeper had an assistant whose eyes were crossed and thus saw everything double. One day, the shopkeeper asked his assistant to grab a one-of-a-kind, expensive jar of rose water from the storeroom for a special customer. The assistant ran to the storeroom, only to return moments later and ask, “I see two jars, which one would you like me to bring?” The shopkeeper impatiently sighed, as he had grown accustomed to such questions. The shopkeeper decided to try a new tactic with his assistant so he said, “Break one of the jars and bring me the one that’s left!” The assistant apprehensively followed the shopkeeper’s orders and broke one of the jars, which of course caused “the other” jar to break too.”

“As an anonymous writer once said, “The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion, the tunnel is.” The declaration of la illaha illa Allah is a reminder that all shapes and forms are like a mirage before the face of God. Allah is the only Truth, Al- Haqq. As the mystics say, “The World is not Allah but there is nothing else but Allah.” Nothing moves without Him. Nothing lives and exists without Him. Allah’s spirit or ruh, was blown into the dead earth of humankind to give us life. We live because of Al-Hayy, The All-Living. We see because of Al-Basir, The All-Seeing. We hear because of As-Sami,’ The All-Hearing. Everything we are mirrors the beauty of our Lord. We are because He is.”
