KEADAAN HATI

PERKONGSIAN DARIPADA:

MANAJEMEN QALBU ULAMA SALAF

Syaikh Dr Ahmad Farid

463 mula surat

 

Hati adalah raja sedangkan anggota tubuh adalah pelaksana perintah dan penerima petunjuk.  Oleh itu, adalah amat penting untuk mengubati penyakit-penyakit hati.  Iblis laknatullah akan sentiasa menghantar rasa was-was, dan menyerang hati dengan pelbagai syahwat, serta menggodanya dengan hal-hal dan perbuatan yang menyesatkan.

JENIS-JENIS HATI

HATI SIHAT (HIDUP DAN KHUSYU’) 1.    Membuat pemiliknya selamat pada hari kiamat

HATI MATI (ERING DAN MATI) ·         Tidak mengenal tuhan ·         Mencintai kerana hawa nafsu ·         Pemimpinnya adalah hawa nafsu; syahwat adalah komandannya; kebodohan adalah peruntunnya; dan kealpaan adalah kenderaannya ·         Sentiasa sibuk memikirkan duniawi ·         Dunia membuatnya merasa benci dan suka.  Hawa nafsu membuatnya tuli dan buta ·         Bergaul dengan pemilik hati mati adalah penyakit, berteman dengannya adalah racun, dan duduk dengannya adalah petaka

HATI SAKIT ·         Adakala lebih dekat kepada keselamatan; dan adakala lebih condong kepada kehancuran ·         Unsur kehidupan o   Memiliki kecintaan, keimanan, keikhlasan dan kepasrahan kepada Allah swt ·         Unsuk kebinasaan dan kehancuran o   Juga memiliki kecintaan kepada syahwat, dorongan untuk memprioritaskannya, dan ketamakan untuk mendapatkannya, serta perasaan dengki, ujub (bangga hati), sombong, selalu ingin di atas, senang terhadap kesusahan dan gila pangkat/darjat

Hati perlu dijaga daripada bisikan syaitan.  Untuk itu, kita perlu menjaga pintu-pintunya, jalan-jalan masuknya, dan celah-celah yang boleh dimasukkinya; iaitu sifat-sifat manusia yang jumlahnya begitu banyak.  Antara pintu-pintu besar yang berfungsi sebagai gerbang yang tidak pernah sempit ialah:

Cara untuk menutup celah-celah pimtu yang boleh dimasukki syaitan adalah dengan:

1. Membersihkan hati dari 7 gerbang kemasukkan syaitan yang disebutkan di atas dengan melakukan zikir kepada Allah swt dan mengucapkan ‘laa haula wala quwata illa billah’
2. Mengisi hati dengan takwa

Secara fitrah, hati manusia berpotensi menerima pengaruh baik dan juga berpotensi menerima pengaruh syaitan.

Ethics must come from the heart

     HOW TO BE GOOD

According to Mohd Izani Ghani, CFO Khazanah Nasional Bhd, ethics is not about ticking the right boxes and being in compliance, but something that comes from the heart.  The most important principle for accountants to remember is that they are always acting in the public interest and for public benefit.

Accountants are always exhorted to behave ethically and with integrity in the effort to improve stakeholder confidence, enhance governance and uphold the profession’s reputation.  Ethics should come naturally.  Thus, accountants should be consistent in practicing ethical behavior.

Our ethical standards are being challenged every day.  Thus, according to Ravi Navaratnam, Executive Vice-President of Minconsult Sdn Bhd, ethics is about doing the right thing when people are not looking and that the real test is to stay strong and consistent.

Nik Mohd Hasyudeen Yusoff, Executive Chairman, Audit Oversight Board of the Securities Commission reminds that ethics and law may conflict because what might be legally permissible might be morally wrong.  The tendency to unquestioningly submit to authority could also be crippling good behavior and independent mindset.

It is observed that Malaysia has one of the largest ‘power distance’ which means that Malaysians generally bow down to authority.  Navaratnam also singled out the ‘state capture’ as one of the factor where it refers to the incumbent authorities’ use of government infrastructure and institutions to shape mindsets, making it challenging for Malaysians to go against the tide of misconduct and speak out.

Linked to good governance and ethical conduct is the act of blowing the whistle on misconduct.  But the existing provisions do not adequately protect whistleblowers.

While codes of ethics are helpful guide, ultimately accountants will have to use their hearts and minds to determine good conduct.  As Tan Soo Yan, Professional Practice Director, Ernst & Young Malaysia said, ‘It’s important to define success as being more than revenue generation and wealth accumulation.’
