saco-indonesia.com, Alhamdulillah, beberapa jam yang lalu, pesawat yang saya tumpangi mendarat dengan mulus di landasan pacu Bandara Sultan Thaha (Suha). Tak ada guncangan. Padahal, ketika menjejakkan kaki  ke tangga, turun dari pesawat di sambut rintik – rintik hujan. Payung pun tak urung dikenakan.

Alhamdulillah, di dalam pesawat itu, di lajur sebelah, tepatnya seberang bangku saya, seorang penumpang terus-menerus menghitung tasbih melingkari jarinya. Khusyu’ berdzikir. Adem mata ini memandangnya. Walau banyak pemandangan lain, rasanya magnet itu begitu sayang untuk dilewatkan. Menambah ingat Allah akan nikmatNya.

Alhamdulillah juga, di dalam perjalanan atas itu,  tak kuasa kedua mata ini terpejam menahan penat jiwa. Anugerah yang tak tertahankan, dimana banyak juga penumpang lain terkulai menahan sebagian derita perjalanan ini: capek dan kantuk.

Berapa seringkah kita bersyukur kepada Allah atas nikmat yang diberikan kepada kita per harinya?

Bagi yang rajin akan berada di angka 165 kali atau lebih. Dengan catatan rajin berdzikir sehabis sholat wajib dengan membaca tahmid - Alhamdulillah 33 kali, selain tasbih dan takbir. Itu pun (kebanyakan) tanpa penghayatan karena sudah terbiasa sama sekali. Tapi, Alhamdulillah masih mending daripada yang hanya sambil lalu saja.

Ibn Athaillah dalam kitabnya - Al-Hikam - mendefinisikan syukur adalah sarana untuk memanfaatkan dan memelihara karunia-Nya. Hati yang bersyukur memperkuat dan memantapkan kebaikan yang ada. Orang awam mungkin hanya bersyukur saat mendapatkan kesenangan materi saja. Tetapi, orang yang dekat dengan Allah menyadari semua yang terjadi di dunia, baik itu nikmat atau musibah sekalipun akan senantiasa disyukuri. Siapa tidak mensyukuri nikmat, berarti menginginkan hilangnya. Dan siapa mensyukurinya, berarti telah secara kuat mengikatnya.

Allah Ta`ala berfirman : Maka makanlah yang halal lagi baik dari rizki yang telah diberikan Allah kepadamu dan syukurilah nikmat Allah, jika kamu hanya kepada-Nya saja menyembah. (Q.S An- Nahl [16] : 114)

Bersyukur merupakan ibadah paling mudah, tetapi sangat sedikit orang yang menyadari dan melakukannya. Hanya hamba yang benar-benar beriman yang bisa mensyukuri setiap nikmat dan rizki yang telah Allah berikan. Sekecil apapun itu, jika kita bersyukur maka nilainya akan tinggi di mata Allah Ta`ala. Kita bisa menghirup udara segar, tangan kita bergerak melakukan apa saja yang kita mau, mata kita bisa melihat dengan jelas, kaki kita bisa berjalan dan tubuh kita tegap tanpa takut terjatuh, perut kita bisa mencerna makanan dengan tidak memuntahkannya, telinga kita masih bisa mendengar, itu semua nikmat dari Allah.

AllahTa’ala berfirman: Dan jika kamu menghitung-hitung nikmat Allah, niscaya kamu tak dapat menentukan jumlahnya. Sesungguhnya Allah benar-benar Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang. (An-Nahl 18)

Hati yang selalu ikhlas, ridla dengan takdir-Nya, lisan yang selalu ringan mengucap syukur dan berakhlaqul karimah terhadap sesama manusia merupakan bentuk nyata dari mensyukuri nikmat-nikmat Allah. Orang yang senantiasa bersyukur kepada Allah, qana’ah, selalu mengambil hikmah terhadap segala permasalahan, maka hidupnya akan tentram, pikirannya tidak cemas, hatinya selalu bersih dari kesombongan dan kekufuran. Tetapi sebaliknya, orang yang tidak mau dan lupa bersyukur maka Allah akan mencabut nikmat yang telah diberikan-Nya dan mengganti dengan siksa yang pedih. Naudzubillahi min dzalik.

Janji Allah tak akan luput seperti pada surat Q.S Ibrahim [14] : 7, Dan (ingatlah juga), tatkala Tuhanmu memaklumkan; “Sesungguhnya jika kamu bersyukur, pasti kami akan menambah (nikmat) kepadamu, dan jika kamu mengingkari (nikmat- Ku), Maka Sesungguhnya azab-Ku sangat pedih”.

Oleh karenanya, perlu disadari jika kita bersyukur maka keimanan kita bertambah, ilmu kita bertambah, harta kita bertambah, amal kita bertambah. Bersyukur bukanlah hal sulit. Bersyukur bukanlah hal remeh yang mesti kita tinggalkan. Tapi sebaliknya harus kita tingkatkan, walau banyak yang lupa meninggalkannya. Karenanya ingatlah: “Fabiayyi Aalaa’i Robbikumaa Tukadz-dzibaan - Maka nikmat Tuhan kamu yang manakah yang (bisa) kamu dustakan?”

BALTIMORE — In the afternoons, the streets of Locust Point are clean and nearly silent. In front of the rowhouses, potted plants rest next to steps of brick or concrete. There is a shopping center nearby with restaurants, and a grocery store filled with fresh foods.

And the National Guard and the police are largely absent. So, too, residents say, are worries about what happened a few miles away on April 27 when, in a space of hours, parts of this city became riot zones.

“They’re not our reality,” Ashley Fowler, 30, said on Monday at the restaurant where she works. “They’re not what we’re living right now. We live in, not to be racist, white America.”

As Baltimore considers its way forward after the violent unrest brought by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died of injuries he suffered while in police custody, residents in its predominantly white neighborhoods acknowledge that they are sometimes struggling to understand what beyond Mr. Gray’s death spurred the turmoil here. For many, the poverty and troubled schools of gritty West Baltimore are distant troubles, glimpsed only when they pass through the area on their way somewhere else.

And so neighborhoods of Baltimore are facing altogether different reckonings after Mr. Gray’s death. In mostly black communities like Sandtown-Winchester, where some of the most destructive rioting played out last week, residents are hoping businesses will reopen and that the police will change their strategies. But in mostly white areas like Canton and Locust Point, some residents wonder what role, if any, they should play in reimagining stretches of Baltimore where they do not live.

“Most of the people are kind of at a loss as to what they’re supposed to do,” said Dr. Richard Lamb, a dentist who has practiced in the same Locust Point office for nearly 39 years. “I listen to the news reports. I listen to the clergymen. I listen to the facts of the rampant unemployment and the lack of opportunities in the area. Listen, I pay my taxes. Exactly what can I do?”

And in Canton, where the restaurants have clever names like Nacho Mama’s and Holy Crepe Bakery and Café, Sara Bahr said solutions seemed out of reach for a proudly liberal city.

“I can only imagine how frustrated they must be,” said Ms. Bahr, 36, a nurse who was out with her 3-year-old daughter, Sally. “I just wish I knew how to solve poverty. I don’t know what to do to make it better.”

The day of unrest and the overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations that followed led to hundreds of arrests, often for violations of the curfew imposed on the city for five consecutive nights while National Guard soldiers patrolled the streets. Although there were isolated instances of trouble in Canton, the neighborhood association said on its website, many parts of southeast Baltimore were physically untouched by the tumult.

Tensions in the city bubbled anew on Monday after reports that the police had wounded a black man in Northwest Baltimore. The authorities denied those reports and sent officers to talk with the crowds that gathered while other officers clutching shields blocked traffic at Pennsylvania and West North Avenues.

Lt. Col. Melvin Russell, a community police officer, said officers had stopped a man suspected of carrying a handgun and that “one of those rounds was spent.”

Colonel Russell said officers had not opened fire, “so we couldn’t have shot him.”

The colonel said the man had not been injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Nearby, many people stood in disbelief, despite the efforts by the authorities to quash reports they described as “unfounded.”

Monday’s episode was a brief moment in a larger drama that has yielded anger and confusion. Although many people said they were familiar with accounts of the police harassing or intimidating residents, many in Canton and Locust Point said they had never experienced it themselves. When they watched the unrest, which many protesters said was fueled by feelings that they lived only on Baltimore’s margins, even those like Ms. Bahr who were pained by what they saw said they could scarcely comprehend the emotions associated with it.

But others, like Lambi Vasilakopoulos, who runs a casual restaurant in Canton, said they were incensed by what unfolded last week.

“What happened wasn’t called for. Protests are one thing; looting is another thing,” he said, adding, “We’re very frustrated because we’re the ones who are going to pay for this.”

There were pockets of optimism, though, that Baltimore would enter a period of reconciliation.

“I’m just hoping for peace,” Natalie Boies, 53, said in front of the Locust Point home where she has lived for 50 years. “Learn to love each other; be patient with each other; find justice; and care.”

A skeptical Mr. Vasilakopoulos predicted tensions would worsen.

“It cannot be fixed,” he said. “It’s going to get worse. Why? Because people don’t obey the laws. They don’t want to obey them.”

But there were few fears that the violence that plagued West Baltimore last week would play out on these relaxed streets. The authorities, Ms. Fowler said, would make sure of that.

“They kept us safe here,” she said. “I didn’t feel uncomfortable when I was in my house three blocks away from here. I knew I was going to be O.K. because I knew they weren’t going to let anyone come and loot our properties or our businesses or burn our cars.”
