Giving, Not Requested




    Tirai Kehidupan -> Giving is actually a base of happiness. Instead, requests or demands (getting) a source of unrest. If we give, we will feel relieved and happy, whereas if we prosecute, especially if large and unfulfilled demands, we will feel annoyed and disappointed. That is why religion (Islam) told us to give rather than ask.

    Giving is the laws and nature of the universe. Consider, for example, sun, earth, plants, rivers, and oceans; they're all just giving, never asking anything from us. Allah alone is God the Almighty Giver. "Our Lord, do thou incline to make our hearts astray after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from Thee, for Thou art the giver is the Lord Almighty." (Surah Ali Imran [3]: 8).

    The law gives (the law of giving) it teaches us at least three things.

    First, what we planted, was exactly what we reap. "Man zara'a Hashada," says the Arab proverb. Fully correct, the old adage that states, "Whoever sows wind, he will reap a storm." This is the ordinance of God (the laws) that will never change.

    Second, if we're giving (giving), surely we will get (getting). Admittedly, people often think short and stuck in a narrow logic of materialism, which is as though if we give, there is something missing from us. This is actually not the case. What we give is never lost. There's sort of in situ conservation of energy. "What's on your side will vanish, and what's on the side of God is eternal." (Surah Al-Nahl [16]: 96).

    Third, we need to cultivate the habit of giving not asking. Give first, then we get. The expression of a take and give (get and then give) are popular in our society, may need to be replaced with the phrase, "give and receive" (give and then receive).

    What we give does not always mean wealth and our wealth (physical-material). We can provide other things that we have, for example energy, thoughts, ideas and thoughts, and prayers, or give him attention, love, and compassion. Giving in the form of the latter, according to the poet Khalil Gibran, it is a really great gift and full of meaning.

    Giving should not be performed because of business considerations (Surah Al-Muddatstsir [74]: 6), but due consideration of the good (Surah Al Imran [3]: 92). Giving is also not a real win win (win-win solution), but the exit toward greatness (greatness) and happiness (happiness), eternal in the world and the hereafter. And Allaah knows best.
