Selamat datang di "The Beauty of Being Muslim"

di bulan yang suci ini

kami ingin mengajak kalian dalam perjalanan

untuk melihat keindahan islam dan ketenangan yang hadir didalamnya

dalam episode pertama "The Beauty of Being Muslim"

kita akan mengenal keindahan islam yang mengajarkan kepada umat manusia

untuk mencintai diri sendiri sebagaimana Allah SWT mencintai makhluk-Nya

sebagai manusia, kita harus mampu mengenal dan mencintai diri sendiri

untuk dapat semakin mengenal dan mencintai sang pencipta

seperti yang terdapat dalam kitab mukasyafatul Qulub

dimana imam ghazali mengatakan hal berikut

bagi umat muslim

mencintai diri sendiri merupakan suatu kewajiban

sebagai bentuk rasa syukur atas nikmat Allah SWT

namun, pada kenyataannya

masih banyak yang belum memahami konsep mencintai diri sendiri

sesungguhnya, mencintai diri sendiri merupakan amanah dari Allah SWT

mencintai diri dengan menerima segala kekurangan

yang ada pada diri

dan mensyukuri kelebihan yang diberiikan sang pencipta

jika kita diciptakan dari Allah yang mencintai

tidak ada alasan untuk kita tidak mencintai diri sendiri, bukan ?

dengan adanya konsep mencintai diri sendiri

kita tidak akan mengambil keputusan yang akan merusak apa yang Allah berikan pada kita

hal ini bisa terjadi karena kita akan menghargai

dan menjaga apapun yang Allah amanahkan kepada kita

contohnya seperti badan, hati, dan pikiran kita

mencintai diri sendiri juga merupakan bentuk cinta kepada Allah SWT

logika sederhananya, jika kita tidak mencintai diri sendiri

kita juga tidak mencintai Allah SWT yang menciptakan kita

dalam sebuah hadits qudsi yang cukup populer

dikalangan ulama sufi disebutkan

mencintai diri sendiri berbeda dengan mengagumi diri sendiri

atau dalam islam disebut sebagai ujub

mencintai diri sendiri itu berasal dari lubuk hati

dari jiwa yang paling dalam

dengan tulus tanpa pamrih

sedangkan mengagumi diri sendiri itu atau ujub

itu dapat diartikan dengan sifat yang membanggakan diri sendiri

secara berlebihan atau yang kita kenal sebagai narsis

sifat ini termasuk sifat tercela

dan merupakan penyakit hati yang harus dihindari oleh umat islam

sebab, ujub dapat memunculkan sifat riya dan sombong

pertama, pernyataan positif untuk diri sendiri untuk meningkatkan rasa percaya diri

atau biasa disebut afirmasi diri

kedua, berhentilah memberi label negatif pada diri kita

jangan biarkan nilai atau persepsi negatif menguasai kehidupan kita

seperti rasa insecure atau rendah diri

terlebih, jangan sampai kita merusakkan diri kita dengan perbuatan kita sendiri

ketiga, memberi waktu untuk diri sendiri atau me-time

kamu bisa melakukan hal positif yang kamu sukai dan membuat kamu bahagia

hal tersebut dapat meningkatkan kualitas hubungan dengan diri sendiri

dan menciptakan perasaan lebih baik tehadap kehidupan kita

keempat, cobalah gaya hidup sehat dengan mengonsumsi makanan bergizi dan halal

istirahat cukup, tidak konsumsi minuman keras, narkoba

dan hal-hal lainnya yang dilarang oleh Allah SWT

dan jangan lupa untuk rajin berolahraga

agar selalu terjaga kesehatan

dan kebahagiaan diri sebagai bentuk cinta terhadap diri sendiri

kelima, untuk menjaga kecantikan batiniah

sebagai bentuk rasa cinta kita terhadap diri sendiri

kita harus menjauhkan diri dari segala pikiran dan perasaan negatif

contohnya seperti sombong

bangga diri

iri dan dengki

buruk sangka

marah

suka pamer dan berbagai pikiran serta perasaan negatif lainnya

menjaga diri dari segala pikiran negatif yang akan merusak diri kita

baik lahir maupun batin

itulah bentuk rasa cinta kita kepada diri sendiri

sekian episode pertama "The Beauty of Being Muslim"

terima kasih sudah menyaksikan episode ini

dan semoga kalian bisa menemukan keindahan

dan ketenangan dalam menjalankan peran sebagai seorang muslim
