percaya

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang mukmin, orang-orang yahudi, orang-orang Nasrani dan orang-orang Shabiin, siapa saja diantara mereka yang benar-benar beriman kepada Allah, hari kemudian dan beramal saleh. mereka akan menerima pahala dari Tuhan mereka, tidak ada kekhawatiran terhadap mereka, dan tidak (pula) mereka bersedih hati." QS 2:62
Saya suka sekali ayat ini. Ada frase sebab- akibat disini. Jika-maka. Jika beriman dan beramal shalih, seseorang tak akan merasakan kekhawatiran maupun kesedihhatian. Kekuatan percaya berperan disini. Percaya bahwa segala yang terjadi di dunia ini, semua, semuanya, adalah ketetapan Allah, maka seorang yang mempercayai itu akan yakin bahwa semua itu baik, meskipun tak disadarinya, meski fisiknya belum mampu mengindera kebaikannya.
Bolehlah kita mendendangkan sebentar lagu Mariah Carey yang berduet dengan Whitney Houston...

Many nights we prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says help is very near

There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
You will when you believe
