Usah Bercakap Dengan Saya Tentang Muhammad!

It would be such a pleasure to have you come along with me

I accept your gracious offer
Kindness and company
But as we walk along young man
And as you help me with my load
I've only one request as we travel down this road

Don't talk to me about Muhammad

Because of him there is no peace

And I have trouble in my mind

So don't talk to me about Muhammad

And as we walk along together 

We will get along just fine

As we walk along together 

We will get along

That man upsets me so

So much more than you could know

I hear of his name and reputation everywhere I go

Though his family and his clan once knew him as an honest man

He's dividing everyone

With his claim that God is One

So don't talk to me about Muhammad

Because of him there is no peace

And I have trouble in my mind

So don't talk to me about Muhammad

And as we walk along together 

We will get along just fine

As we walk along together 

We will get along

He's misled all the weak ones

And the poor ones and the slaves

They think they've all found wealth and freedom

Following his ways

He's corrupted all the youth

With his twisted brand of truth

Convinced them that they all are strong

Giving them somewhere to belong

So don't talk to me about Muhammad

Because of him there is no peace

And I have trouble in my mind

So don't talk to me about Muhammad

And as we walk along together 

We will get along just fine

As we walk along together 

We will get along

Thank you now young man

You've really have been so kind

Your generousity and smile are very rare to find

Let me give you some advice

Since you've been so very nice

From Muhammad stay away

Don't heed his words or emulate his way

And don't talk about Muhammad

You will never have true peace

And trouble is all you will find

So don't talk about Muhammad

And as you travel down life's road

You will get along just fine

Now before we part and go

If it's alright just the same

May I ask my dear young man

Who are you, what's your name

Forgive me what was that?

Your words weren't very clear

My ears are getting old

Sometimes its difficult to hear

It's truly rather funny though I'm sure I must be wrong

But I thought I heard you say

Your name is Muhammad

Muhammad

Ashaadu alla ilaha illallah

Wa ashaadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah

O talk to me, Muhammad

Upon you I pray for peace

For you have eased my troubled mind

O talk to me, Muhammad

And as we walk along together 

We will get along just fine

As I travel down life's road

I will get along

Just fine

Dawud Wharnsby Ali

[Kredit]

Antara lagu peberet saya sepanjang masa.

Lagunya cukup simpel. Tiada musik yang gempak dan membingitkan. Tiada perkusi rancak yang menggegarkan.

Yang ada hanyalah suara Inche Dawud. Suaranya yang cukup ikhlas dan menggetarkan jiwa yang mendengarnya. Dan lirik. Liriknya yang cukup berkuasa dan bermakna. 

Don't talk to me about Muhammad. Usah bercakap dengan saya tentang Muhammad.

Perbualan yang penuh dengan kebencian. Kata-kata yang penuh dengan sangkaan. Fikiran yang penuh dengan cacian. 

Namun bagaimana Nabi SAW, insan teragung sepanjang masa itu membalasnya..? Dengan pukulan...? Dengan jelingan? Dengan rungutan..? 

Tidak. Tidak. Dan tidak!

Baginda membalasnya dengan senyuman. Baginda membalasnya dengan penuh kechentaan. Baginda membalasnya dengan penuh ihsan!

Betapa mulianya akhlakmu, wahai Nabi! Nanges.

Betapa indahnya budi pekertimu, wahai ar-Rasul! Nanges.

Betapa agungnya dakwahmu, wahai kekasih Allah! Nanges. 

Sedangkan kita..? Yang kononnya mahu mengamalkan sunnah ar-Rasul itu? Yang kononnya mahu menyambung rantaian dakwah yang dimulakan kekasih Allah itu? Yang kononnya mewarisi risalah agung insan mulia itu?

Dakwah kita penuh dengan sangkaan!

Dakwah kita pilih kasih!

Dakwah kita penuh dengan cacian, umpatan dan tuduhan!

Dakwah kita rasis!

Dakwah kita tidak sunyi dari pergaduhan!

Dakwah kita mementingkan diri!

Dakwah kita syok sendiri! 

Dakwah kita tidak menyemai kechentaan!

Dakwah kita tidak didahului dengan qudwah!

Dakwah kita lebih sudu dari kuah!

Potong bawang laju-laju. 

Ayuh kita kembali kepada keaslian dakwah ini. Menyebarkan risalah agung ini tanpa ragu-ragu dan nista. Bersungguh-sungguh menghidupkan obor perjuangan ini tanpa kenal lelah mahu putus-asa. Faham tujuan kita dijadikan khalifahNya, ikhlas dalam bekerja dan beramal seperti esok kiamat akan tiba! 

Biar susah. Biar payah. Biar gundah. Biar resah.

Kerana inilah jalan sama yang pernah dilalui ar-Rasul yang mulia. Inilah jalan berduri yang pernah melukai kaki baginda. Inilah jalan berkaca yang pernah mengalirkan darah dari tubuh baginda. 

Namun baginda tetap melaluinya. Penuh yakin padaNya. Tidak bersangka-sangka dengan ketentuanNya. Penuh senyuman yang ceria dan akhlak dan bergaya.

Itulah Muhammad SAW, kekasih kita.

"Katakanlah, 'Jika kamu (benar-benar) mencintai Allah, ikutilah aku, niscaya Allah mengasihi dan mengampuni dosa-dosamu.' Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang."

[ali-Imraan, 3:31]

Nanges sepuas hati.

O talk to me, Muhammad

Upon you I pray for peace

For you have eased my troubled mind

O talk to me, Muhammad

And as we walk along together 

We will get along just fine

As I travel down life's road

I will get along

Just fine...
