Ada yang mendefinisikan bahwa tawadhu itu ialah Anda tidak melihat diri Anda memiliki suatu nilai (value). Dalam pengertian lain tawadhu bermaksud merendahkan nilai amal --- tentunya dengan suatu alasan. Sementara itu ikhlasnya seorang hamba Allah ditandai oleh sebelas hal.

Pertama, ia tidak mencari popularitas dan tidak menonjolkan diri.

Kedua, tidak rindu pujian dan tidak terkecoh pujian.

Ketiga, ia tidak silau dan tidak cinta pada jabatan.

Keempat, ia tidak diperbudak imbalan dan balas budi.

Kelima, tidak mudah kecewa.

Keenam, tidak membedakan amal besar dan amal kecil.

Ketujuh, tidak fanatik golongan.

Kedelapan, ridha dan marahnya bukan karena perasaan pribadi.

Kesembilan, ringan, lahap, dan nikmat dalam beramal.

Kesepuluh, tidak egois karena selalu mementingkan kepentingan bersama.

Kesebelas, tidak membeda-bedakan pergaulan.

Lalu apa hubungan keikhlasan dan berlaku tawadhu?

Ternyata, rangkuman keikhlasan seorang hamba ada pada ketawadhuan. Orang yang tawadhu berarti keikhlasan telah bersarang di hatinya. Karena, menyimak kesebelas tanda di atas, ketawadhuan lebih berfungsi horisontal daripada vertikal. Dengan kata lain, tawadhu berhubungan dengan hubungan sosial atau interpersonal.

Hakikat Tawadhu

Disebutkan bahwa jika takabur adalah menolak kebenaran dan merendahkan manusia, maka tawadhu ialah menerima kebenaran dan menghormati manusia kecuali terhadap manusia yang Allah bersikap keras kepadanya. Sombong, arogan, keras kepala, berlaku angkuh, tinggi hati -- kalau itu semua sempat hinggap di hati kita -- saat itulah kita sampai pada apa yang diriwayatkan oleh Rasulullah SAW, "Sesungguhnya Allah telah menyampaikan wahyu kepadaku, 'Kalian agar tawadhu, sehingga seseorang tidak angkuh atas yang lain, dan seseorang tidak menzalimi seseorang yang lain'." (HR Muslim). Ketika ketawadhuan terangkat dalam hati, saat itulah kita berlaku angkuh dan siap berbuat zalim terhadap orang lain. Na'udzubillahi min dzalik.

PARADOX OF LIFE IN MODERN TIMES

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.
We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak!
And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away.
