Ujian adalah Hadiah dari ALLAH s.w.t

Ujian Dari Allah Buat Hambanya

Hari terus berganti hari. Kehidupan manusia juga terus berjalan pantas seiring dengan masa yang pantas berlari. Di celah-celah hari  berwarna-warni  yang di jalani dan ditelusuri, tanpa  disedari atau tidak, manusia sebenarnya  telahpun menempuh pelbagai ujian dan dugaan duniawi. Ujian-ujian yang diberi oleh Allah itu datang menyapa silih berganti dalam pelbagai bentuk dan rupa. Setiap orang diuji olah Allah berbeza-beza mengikut tahap kemampuannya.

“ Allah tidak membebani seseorang melainkan apa yang terdaya olehnya, ia mendapat pahala kebajikan yang diusahakannya dan ia juga menanggung dosa kejahatan yang dilakukannya…     ( Al-Baqarah: 286)

ALLAH telah menyatakan dengan jelas di dalam Al-Quran bahawa DIA tidak akan sekali-kali menguji hambaNya diluar kemampuan hambaNya. ALLAH  mengetahui kita kuat dalam menghadapi ujianNya, oleh kerana itu  ALLAH memberikan  ujian itu ke atas diri kita. Di sini kita dapat lihat betapa sayang dan kasihnya ALLAH kepada kita sebagai hambaNya. ALLAH menguji seseorang bukan kerana ALLAH benci kepada kita tetapi percayalah  ALLAH menguji kita kerana DIA sangat kasih kepada kita. Cuma kita sebagai hambaNya, adakala tidak mampu bertahan dan bersabar dalam menghadapi ujianNya.

Hakikatnya saat ini, saat kita sedang mengecapi bahagia, ada berjuta manusia di luar sana yang sedang dihujani ujian atau dihimpit pelbagai derita. Ada di kalangan  manusia di luar sana yang saat ini sedang diuji dengan kehilangan orang tersayang. Tidak kurang juga ada manusia yang diuji apabila apa yang diingini dan diharapkan tidak terjadi dan diberi.

“ Kenapa aku yang diuji ? “

“ Mengapa aku diuji sebegini ?”

“ Ujian ini sangat berat. Aku tak mampu…”

Mungkin ini adalah antara persoalan dan keluhan yang meniti di bibir atau berlegar di fikiran kita sebagai seorang hamba saat dihimpit dengan secebis ujian. Kadangkala  tanpa sedar dan niat  kita juga  terlanjur marah pada DIA kerana menghujani kita dengan pelbagai ujian.

Tetapi, apabila kita menenangkan diri dan bermuhasabah  kembali, tenyata sebenarnya dengan ujian yang diberi kita adalah hamba yang beruntung . Mengapa saya katakan begitu? Kerana ujian hanyalah diberi oleh Allah kepada hamba-hambanya yang terpilih. Hamba-hambanya yang dikasihi dan disayangiNya. Dan jangan kita lupa bersama ujian itu juga ada pertolongan dari Allah sepertimana yang dinyatakan di dalam Al-Quran:

Adakah patut kamu menyangka bahawa kamu akan masuk syurga, padahal belum sampai kepada kamu (ujian dan cubaan) seperti yang telah berlaku kepada orang-orang yang terdahulu sebelum kamu? mereka telah ditimpa kepapaan (kemusnahan harta benda) dan serangan penyakit, serta digoncangkan (dengan ancaman bahaya musuh), sehingga berkatalah Rasul dan orang-orang yang beriman yang ada bersamanya: “Bilakah (datangnya) pertolongan Allah?” Ketahuilah sesungguhnya pertolongan Allah itu dekat (asalkan kamu bersabar dan berpegang teguh kepada agama Allah). ( Al-Baqarah: 214)

Sebagai manusia biasa, kita pastinya tidak akan mampu menjangka bilakah ujian itu akan muncul tiba. Walaubagaimanapun, jika kita mengetahuinya, apalah kudrat kita sebagai seorang hamba yang kerdil lagi penuh dosa untuk menolak ujian-ujian yang bakal menyapa  itu. Jika direnungkan kembali, kita semua pastinya pernah dan akan ditimpa ujian dari yang Maha Esa, tetapi saat ujian itu tiba, mampukah kita menjadi manusia yang bersyukur dengan ujian itu dan memandangnya sebagai hadiah pemberian Allah?

Manusia itu sifatnya pelupa, Ada masanya dalam melayari kehidupan di dunia, kita lalai dan leka pada hakikat yang nyata bahwa kita hanyalah hamba DIA yang Esa. Jadi apakah sebenarnya yang mampu membangkitkan manusia dari kelalaian dan kealpaan ini? UJIAN. Ya, Ujian. Ujian atau mehnah yang menjengah dalam kehidupan kita itulah sebenarnya yang mampu mengejutkan kita dari mimpi dunia yang panjang.

Allah Tuhan yang Maha Mengetahui. Mungkin tanpa ujian-ujian dan dugaan yang dikirimkan khas oleh DIA untuk kita, kita masih lagi menjadi seorang hamba yang hanyut dan lemas dalam lautan kelalaian. Apa yang paling utama sebenarnya adalah “ hadiah ” itu dikirimkan oleh Allah bertujuan untuk menilai sejauh mana keimanan kita terhadapNya sepertimana yang dijelaskannya di dalam Al-Quran:

Patutkah manusia menyangka bahawa mereka akan dibiarkan dengan hanya berkata: “Kami beriman”, sedang mereka tidak diuji (dengan sesuatu cubaan)? (Al-Ankabut: 2)

Justeru, marilah kita sama-sama bermuhasabah dan menilai kembali segala prasangka buruk yang mungkin pernah bermain di fikiran kita saat kita diuji. Inilah saatnya bagi kita, saya dan anda yang sedang membaca, merubah fikiran kita dan mula memandang ujian-ujian yang telah dan akan kita lalui sebagai sebuah ‘ hadiah’ dari Allah dan bukan lagi satu bebanan. Apabila kita benar-benar menyedari hakikat ini, maka kita akan menjadi seorang hamba yang bersyukur dengan segala ujian yang diberi.

Pembaca yang dikasihi oleh Allah,

Jika anda saat ini sedang diuji, ingin saya sampaikan sesungguhnya bersyukur dan berbahagialah anda kerana

UJIAN  itu HADIAH  dari  ALLAH

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera...

Hari nie nak cerita pasal sejenis penyakit (nak panggil penyakit ke atau effect kot) untuk baby yang lahir pramatang yang berat die kurang 1.25 kg. Nama penyakit tue Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). Semoga korang semua dapat menambah ilmu pengetahuan tentang perkara ini.

Retinopathy of Prematurity Defined

What is retinopathy of prematurity?

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature infants weighing about 2¾ pounds (1250 grams) or less that are born before 31 weeks of gestation (A full-term pregnancy has a gestation of 38–42 weeks). The smaller a baby is at birth, the more likely that baby is to develop ROP. This disorder—which usually develops in both eyes—is one of the most common causes of visual loss in childhood and can lead to lifelong vision impairment and blindness. ROP was first diagnosed in 1942.

Frequently Asked Questions about Retinopathy of Prematurity

How many infants have retinopathy of prematurity?

Today, with advances in neonatal care, smaller and more premature infants are being saved. These infants are at a much higher risk for ROP. Not all babies who are premature develop ROP. There are approximately 3.9 million infants born in the U.S. each year; of those, about 28,000 weigh 2¾ pounds or less. About 14,000–16,000 of these infants are affected by some degree of ROP. The disease improves and leaves no permanent damage in milder cases of ROP. About 90 percent of all infants with ROP are in the milder category and do not need treatment. However, infants with more severe disease can develop impaired vision or even blindness. About 1,100–1,500 infants annually develop ROP that is severe enough to require medical treatment. About 400–600 infants each year in the US become legally blind from ROP.

Are there different stages of ROP?

Yes. ROP is classified in five stages, ranging from mild (stage I) to severe (stage V):

Stage I — Mildly abnormal blood vessel growth. Many children who develop stage I improve with no treatment and eventually develop normal vision. The disease resolves on its own without further progression.

Stage II — Moderately abnormal blood vessel growth. Many children who develop stage II improve with no treatment and eventually develop normal vision. The disease resolves on its own without further progression.

Stage III — Severely abnormal blood vessel growth. The abnormal blood vessels grow toward the center of the eye instead of following their normal growth pattern along the surface of the retina. Some infants who develop stage III improve with no treatment and eventually develop normal vision. However, when infants have a certain degree of Stage III and “plus disease” develops, treatment is considered. “Plus disease” means that the blood vessels of the retina have become enlarged and twisted, indicating a worsening of the disease. Treatment at this point has a good chance of preventing retinal detachment.

Stage IV — Partially detached retina. Traction from the scar produced by bleeding, abnormal vessels pulls the retina away from the wall of the eye.

Stage V — Completely detached retina and the end stage of the disease. If the eye is left alone at this stage, the baby can have severe visual impairment and even blindness.

Most babies who develop ROP have stages I or II. However, in a small number of babies, ROP worsens, sometimes very rapidly. Untreated ROP threatens to destroy vision.

Can ROP cause other complications?

Yes. Infants with ROP are considered to be at higher risk for developing certain eye problems later in life, such as retinal detachment, myopia (nearsightedness), strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), and glaucoma. In many cases, these eye problems can be treated or controlled.

Causes and Risk Factors

What causes ROP?

ROP occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow and spread throughout the retina, the tissue that lines the back of the eye. These abnormal blood vessels are fragile and can leak, scarring the retina and pulling it out of position. This causes a retinal detachment. Retinal detachment is the main cause of visual impairment and blindness in ROP.

Several complex factors may be responsible for the development of ROP. The eye starts to develop at about 16 weeks of pregnancy, when the blood vessels of the retina begin to form at the optic nerve in the back of the eye. The blood vessels grow gradually toward the edges of the developing retina, supplying oxygen and nutrients. During the last 12 weeks of a pregnancy, the eye develops rapidly. When a baby is born full-term, the retinal blood vessel growth is mostly complete (The retina usually finishes growing a few weeks to a month after birth). But if a baby is born prematurely, before these blood vessels have reached the edges of the retina, normal vessel growth may stop. The edges of the retina—the periphery—may not get enough oxygen and nutrients.

Scientists believe that the periphery of the retina then sends out signals to other areas of the retina for nourishment. As a result, new abnormal vessels begin to grow. These new blood vessels are fragile and weak and can bleed, leading to retinal scarring. When these scars shrink, they pull on the retina, causing it to detach from the back of the eye.

Are there other risk factors for ROP?

In addition to birth weight and how early a baby is born, other factors contributing to the risk of ROP include anemia, blood transfusions, respiratory distress, breathing difficulties, and the overall health of the infant.

An ROP epidemic occurred in the 1940s and early 1950s when hospital nurseries began using excessively high levels of oxygen in incubators to save the lives of premature infants. During this time, ROP was the leading cause of blindness in children in the US. In 1954, scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health determined that the relatively high levels of oxygen routinely given to premature infants at that time were an important risk factor, and that reducing the level of oxygen given to premature babies reduced the incidence of ROP. With newer technology and methods to monitor the oxygen levels of infants, oxygen use as a risk factor has diminished in importance.

Although it had been suggested as a factor in the development of ROP, researchers supported by the National Eye Institute determined that lighting levels in hospital nurseries has no effect on the development of ROP.

Treatment

How is ROP treated?

The most effective proven treatments for ROP are laser therapy or cryotherapy. Laser therapy “burns away” the periphery of the retina, which has no normal blood vessels. With cryotherapy, physicians use an instrument that generates freezing temperatures to briefly touch spots on the surface of the eye that overlie the periphery of the retina. Both laser treatment and cryotherapy destroy the peripheral areas of the retina, slowing or reversing the abnormal growth of blood vessels. Unfortunately, the treatments also destroy some side vision. This is done to save the most important part of our sight—the sharp, central vision we need for “straight ahead” activities such as reading, sewing, and driving.

Both laser treatments and cryotherapy are performed only on infants with advanced ROP, particularly stage III with “plus disease.” Both treatments are considered invasive surgeries on the eye, and doctors don’t know the long-term side effects of each.

In the later stages of ROP, other treatment options include:

Scleral buckle. This involves placing a silicone band around the eye and tightening it. This keeps the vitreous gel from pulling on the scar tissue and allows the retina to flatten back down onto the wall of the eye. Infants who have had a sclera buckle need to have the band removed months or years later, since the eye continues to grow; otherwise they will become nearsighted. Sclera buckles are usually performed on infants with stage IV or V.

Vitrectomy. Vitrectomy involves removing the vitreous and replacing it with a saline solution. After the vitreous has been removed, the scar tissue on the retina can be peeled back or cut away, allowing the retina to relax and lay back down against the eye wall. Vitrectomy is performed only at stage V.

What happens if treatment does not work?

While ROP treatment decreases the chances for vision loss, it does not always prevent it. Not all babies respond to ROP treatment, and the disease may get worse. If treatment for ROP does not work, a retinal detachment may develop. Often, only part of the retina detaches (stage IV). When this happens, no further treatments may be needed, since a partial detachment may remain the same or go away without treatment. However, in some instances, physicians may recommend treatment to try to prevent further advancement of the retinal detachment (stage V). If the center of the retina or the entire retina detaches, central vision is threatened, and surgery may be recommended to reattach the retina.
