The Beginning - Taaruf

For whatever reason, today, it feels like a good day to write and share something.
It has been a long time, 3 years in fact since I've signed in to write. Time do flies huh? May Allah swt ease our matters.

[taaruf...taaruf...taaruf]


Taaruf.

Have you ever heard of it?

"Human beings, We created you all from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Verily the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing of you.8 Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware."

In the Al-Quran in Surah Al-Hujurat, ayat 13, Allah swt tells us about it. The reason why Allah swt created human beings in forms of man and woman, of different races and different tribes and of different background, is for us to taaruf. To get to know each other, be friends, create relationship, understand each other, and respect each other.
Looking at the end of the ayat, Allah swt emphasize that, it is not about the way you look or which background that you came from, but, Allah always looked at the level of your Taqwa. It is always about whats on the inside of your heart; how afraid of you towards Allah swt, how cautious of you in making any decision, thinking of whether it is something that Allah will shower His blessings or only lead you to pave you way to Hell.  Allah is aware of your dramatic changes in your level of iman, because Allah is "عَلِيمٌ - All Knowing" and "خَبِيرٌ - All-Aware".

Taaruf is the key to understand others. Taaruf is the key to see the goodness in people. Taaruf is the key to see the potential the person has that can benefit to others. Taaruf is one of the key to a successful tarbiyyah. Taaruf...taaruf...taaruf...

If you are a murrabi, Taaruf will be your first step in making a move towards the mutarabbi's heart. A successful taaruf will make the mutarabbi share almost everything about their life. They will open up the door to their personal space, which only certain people can enter. She/He would share their joy and sadness without hesitation if the trust is built as the basis of the relationship, throughout the taaruf process.

Through taaruf, a murabbi could understand why the mutarabbi is making a certain decision, you could understand why he/she react the way he/she did.
Through taaruf, you could see how a person is being brought up, and how interesting Allah swt make you and him/her cross path with each other.
Through taaruf, a murrabi can identify the mutarabbi true potential, and how it can be used that is beneficial to the ummah.
Through Taaruf, you wouldn't be judgemental, but a murrabi will be more wise and understanding, more helpful and a great listener.
Through taaruf, a murrabi can be the best person that the murtarabbi can lean on to.
Through taaruf, they show their true colours, without having to act, without having to feel ashamed of themselves.

But how to start a good taaruf?

By asking:
"How's your iman today my dear?"
