Tergerak hati nak buka terjemahan Al-Quran, aku mulakan dengan Surah Al-Baqarah. Daripada ayat dua surah Al-Baqarah sudah jelas satu perkara bagiku. ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡڪِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَۛ فِيهِۛ هُدً۬ى لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ (٢ . “This is the Book: in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah”.
Kita selalu dengar; kalau baca sahaja, tapi tak tahu isi, tak guna juga. Dalam kepala aku, “baca je la ‘translation’ ni, mesti ada sesuatu yang akan terjawab.” Aku ingat lagi masa mula2 baca Al-Quran dulu, punya lama la nak tunggu habis Surah Al-Baqarah ni. Bila la nak masuk Surah Al-Imran.
Baca punya baca, aku sampai ayat 143 surah alBaqarah..
وَكَذَٲلِكَ جَعَلۡنَـٰكُمۡ أُمَّةً۬ وَسَطً۬ا لِّتَڪُونُواْ شُہَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ شَهِيدً۬اۗ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلۡقِبۡلَةَ ٱلَّتِى كُنتَ عَلَيۡہَآ إِلَّا
لِنَعۡلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيۡهِۚ وَإِن كَانَتۡ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَـٰنَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬ (١٤٣
“Thus have We made of you and Ummat justly balanced, that you might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which you were used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (from the Faith). Indeed it was (a change) momentus, except to those guide by Allah. And never would Allah make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful. ” (143)AlBaqarah
