Apa yang kita perbuat
untuk akhirat? Kita salat dan cepat sekali selesai. Kita berjalan selama
satu jam atau 45 menit untuk sampai ke tempat kerja kita dan jika macet
maka perlu waktu satu jam pergi dan satu jam kembali. Kemudian kita
bekerja 9 atau 10 jam. Itu artinya 13 jam sehari untuk bekerja dan
kalian tidur selama 6 jam. Kemudian 4 jam menonton TV dan video. Dan
berapa lama yang kalian gunakan untuk ibadah? 5 menit? Jika kalian
melakukan salat 5 waktu, maka kalikan dengan 5 atau 10 menit–hampir 1
jam. Kemudian kalian mengatakan bahwa kalian berkerja untuk Allah!
Bekerjalah untuk dunia seolah-olah
kalian akan hidup selamanya, dan bekerjalah untuk Allah seolah-olah
kalian mati besok. Jika seseorang datang dan mengatakan kepada kalian
bahwa ia sedang sekarat karena kanker, apa yang terjadi? Ia merasa takut
dan ia akan beribadah siang dan malam. Jadi perhatian semacam itu harus
menjadi bagian dari kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Jika kita tidak
menjaganya, kita akan merugi.

Work for Akhira!
What are we doing for akhira? We pray and finish quickly. We are commuting one hour, or 45 min to reach our work and if there is traffic then it takes one hour there and back. Then we are working 9 or 10 hours. It means 13 hours a day for work and you sleep 6 hours. And then 4 hours on video and tv. And what are you spending on`ibadah? 5 minutes. That is if you pray 5 prayers. Multiply them 5 x 5 or 10 – it is one hour. Then you say you are dong for Allah!
Work for dunya as if you are living forever, and work for Allah as if you are dying tomorrow. If someone comes and tells you he is dying of cancer what happens. He is afraid and he will worship day and night. So that concern has to be in our daily life. If we are not keeping in our daily life we are losing.
