Allah SWT. has said in al-Quran letter of an-Nahl verse 97 :
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ
ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ
بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (97)
Whosoever doing good deeds, both man and woman in a
state of faith, verily We will give a good life (hayatan thayyibah/ kehidupan yang baik) and
verily We will give replies to them with better reward than what they used to
do (Q.S. An-Nahl, 16: 97).
The verse above explain that to get the good life (hayatan
thayyibah/ kehidupan yang baik), there are two condition must be done, that doing good deeds and
faith in God. In much place, Allah always juxtaposing this requirement for get
good reward. As in letter of al-‘Ashri verse 2. In this verse Allah explained
that all of man is loss, except people that faith in God and doing good deeds.
What kind of deed that can be called as ‘amalan
shaliha that can deliver us to good life (hayatan thayyibah/ kehidupan yang baik) ? As
Sayyid Thanthawi said, it is all of deed done based on sincerity/ heartiness
and compatible with prophet doctrine. Of course all of it done based of faith
of God in his heart, not only doing good deeds. Faith of God be manifested by believe in deepest heart that there is no god
except Allah, and Muhammad as his prophet, then say laa ilaaha illallaah,
Muhammadur rasulullah as testimony of divinity of Allah and apostolate of
Muhammad SAW. It is doesn’t enough till here, this believes must be continued
with good deeds in his life, compatimble with prophet doctrine, this good deeds
famously be called taqwa. If both requirement reached by a moslem, he will
get the good reward from Allah, hayatan thayyibah (kehidupan yang baik).
What is the characteristic of hayatan thayyibah (kehidupan yang baik) ?
Mufassirin said there are several characteristic of hayatan thayyibah (kehidupan yang baik) ?
First, he get the clean grace (rizki halal) in his live accompanied worship to
Allah SWT. He is be spared from the dirty grace (haram). Second, Ali bin Abi
Thalib say, hayatan thayyibah (kehidupan yang baik) is qanaah. Qanaah is feel enough of God
gives. Whether much or too litte accepted with glad. Third, hayatan
thayyibah (kehidupan yang baik) is the forever life in paradise later, because life in this earth
is temporary and briefly, and not as good as in the paradise.
The conclusion, hayatan thayyibah (kehidupan yang baik) is form of
life that combine several aspect, namely life that full with clean grace from
God, then this grace accepted with glad and feel enough with it, and never
forget to always worship to God as gratitude to his gives. In the end, he will
