Saya harap anda akan membaca post ini sehingga habis... Saya menulis ini dengan airmata yang mengalir & anda juga akan merasa sebak setelah selesai membacanya.
Semasa saya bentangkan topik Dakwah Bil Mal iaitu cara berdakwah menggunakan amal kebajikan, saya bertanya adalah para peserta percaya akan janji Allah dan mereka jawab dengan penuh yakin YA!!!
Saya keluarkan 2,000 Peso dan memasukkan ke dalam tabung dan mengajak mereka untuk turut melakukannya, dan kesemua mereka memasukkan 2,000 Peso sehingga ada yang mengorek duit syiling dalam poket mereka.
Selepas mereka selesai, kami memberikan kejutan kepada mereka. Kami maklumkan kepada mereka bahawa Allah segerakan ganjaran kepada mereka di dunia. Kami akan memberikan kepada setiap peserta yang datang dari seluruh Colombia dan juga Venezuela, 50,000 Peso (USD20 = RM80) setiap seorang! 50,000 Peso x 45 peserta = 2,250,000 Peso!
Ramai peserta yang tergamam, terkejut, ada yang menangis dan ada yang menggelengkan kepala kerana tidak percaya apa yang mereka baru sahaja dengar!
Kemudian kami diajak bermesyuarat seketika dengan penganjur dan ketika dalam mesyuarat, kami sekali lagi terkejut! Ramai peserta yang tidak pernah makan 3 hidangan setiap hari dan ada yang meminjam wang untuk hadir bengkel dakwah dan tidur di masjid! Ketika Hermana Poala bercerita, beliau sebak & menangis dan tanpa saya sedari, air-mata saya juga turut mengalir!
Poala juga sebak kerana selama ini mereka merasa terpinggir dan tiada siapa yang bantu mereka berdakwah di Colombia malahan ramai peserta yang skeptikal akan kehadiran & kemampuan kami memahami cabaran dakwah mereka serta adalah teknik dakwah kami akan berkesan.
Namun, baru hari pertama dan beliau mengatakan beliau telah menerima banyak feedback yang sangat positif dari peserta. Akhirnya beliau merasakan mereka tidak keseorangan cuma merasa sebak mengapa memerlukan sekumpulan Muslim jauh dari Malaysia untuk membantu mereka.
Beliau menangis juga kerana beliau baru benar-benar yakin bahawa benarlah bahawa Muslim itu satu umat!
Sebelum berangkat pulang ke tempat penginapan, seorang gadis duduk di anak tangga masjid. Saya menyapanya dengan bantuan penterjemah.
Namanya Alexandria. Beliau menaiki bas selama dua hari dari Venezuela ke Bogotá dan membelanjakan hampir 120,000 Peso. Beliau sekadar memakan roti dan juga gula-gula untuk mengalas perut kerana kekurangan wang. Anda merasa kagum tentang info Alexandria setakat ini? Apa yang saya bakal kongsikan pada di perenggan bawah menyebabkan air-mata saya sekali lagi gugur!
Beliau baru berusia 18 tahun dan Belum Muslim! Alexandria yang Belum Muslim sanggup berkorban, makan roti dan gula-gula untuk menghadiri bengkel dakwah dan mendalami Islam dengan perjalanan 2 hari dalam bas!!!! Allahuakbar...
Setelah mendengar semua cerita ini, kami berbincang, kami memutuskan untuk tidak memberikan 20,000 Peso kepada setiap peserta! Kami sedang menimbangkan untuk memberikan kepada setiap peserta antara 250,000 - 3000,000 Peso ($91-$108 = RM357-RM421) setiap seorang!
Jikalau ada yang merasakan saya menceritakan semua ini semata-mata demi meraikan simpati agar anda menyumbang, jangan lakukan apa-apa kerana kami tetap akan menyumbang dan membantu saudara kita di Amerika Latin dan seluruh dunia semampu kami!

********ENGLISH VERSION BELOW*********
I hope all of you read this post until the end. I’m writing this with tears streaming down and I hope you will feel the same.
When I was presenting the topic of Dakwah Bil Mal(da’wah method by doing good deeds), I asked the participants, do they believe in Allah’s promise? To which they answered with confidence YES!
I took out 2,000 Peso and put it in the donation box. I then invited the participants to do the same and the too did the same, they even took out every single penny left.
After they were done, we gave them a surprise. We informed them that Allah will hasten their reward in this world. Thus we gave each participants 50,000 (USD20 = RM80)! 50,000 Peso x 45 participants = 2,250,000 Peso!
Many of the participants were shocked, some even cried while others could not believe what they had heard.
Later on, we were invited for a meeting with the organizer and in the meeting, we heard of another surprising matter. Many of the participants could not afford a full 3 meals per day and even some had to borrow money in order to attend our da’wah workshop to an extend that some slept in masjid! While telling us this, Hermana Poala cried profusely and I myself cried without even realizing
Poala felt so touched because all this while she felt that they were abandoned and no one wants to help them to do da’wah in Colombia. Many of the participants was even sceptical of our presence and ability to understand their da’wah challenges as well as the effectiveness of our da’wah techniques.
However, it is just the first day yet she said that she had received many positive feedback from the participants. She said, finally they felt that they wasn’t alone and that a group of Muslism came all the way from Malaysia to help them.
Another reason for her tears was she truly believe that the Muslims are one ummah!
Before heading back to our accommodation, I saw a lady sitting on the stairs of the Masjid so with the help of the translator, I greeted her.
Her name is Alexandria. She took a bus from Venezuala to Bogota which took about 2 days of journey with the price of 120,000 Peso. She only had bread and sweets to curb her hunger as she was lacking in money. Do you felt amazed with Alexandra so far?
What I’m about to share below will make your tears stream down, again!
She is just 18 years old and she is not yet a Muslim! Alexandria, a not-yet Muslims is willing to sacrifice by just eating bread and having some sweets and all of this is to attend the da’wah course! Sacrificing 2 days to travel by bus! Allahuakbar…
After hearing all of this, we’ve decided to give 20,000 Peso for each participant. Although we are considering to take it a notch up by giving between 250,000 - 3000,000 Peso ($91-$108 = RM357-RM421) each!
If you feel we are making up all of this to earn your sympathy then please do not contribute but rest assured we will still donate and help out our brothers and sisters in Latin America, even the whole world according to our ability.
