JAKARTA - Everyone's perspective on problems is different. For Ustaz Yusuf Mansyur (UYM), the more problems he gets, the more blessings he gets. How come?

This is a personal experience that he experienced firsthand. Despite being reported in a legal case regarding investment, he faced everything calmly and patiently. For him the problem must be faced. UYM in addition to dealing with problems that arise according to the character of the problem, also accompanies it with alms.

"When there are problems, I accompany them by giving alms. I will look for people who have severe cancer. Then meet people who will be amputated because of their diabetes and various other difficulties," he said.

After visiting the people who were not lucky enough, Yusuf Mansyur was finally able to compare with the problems he was facing. It turned out that his problems were no more severe than those faced by the people he met. "When I saw the problems they were facing, it turned out that the problem I had was very small," continued the caregiver and founder of the Daarul Quran Islamic Boarding School.

Problems for UYM should not be regretted and hostile. "Eating a lot of problems the more blessings," he said. "Insults, insults, bullying, other people's insults to him are fertilizer. It's like other people are tired of looking for fertilizer to fertilize plants so that they bear good fruit, here people come with fertilizer, I accept it," said the speaker who conveyed a lot about alms in the concept of the Power of Alms.

When the "fertilizer" comes, we don't give it back to the giver. "Accept it, don't turn it around again. There are people who say I'm stupid, I can't say the same thing to people who say that. Just accept it and use it as input. So you can learn and learn again," he said.

What Ustaz Yusuf Mansyur did was actually absorb the incoming negative energy and turn it into positive energy. In his language, the more problems the more blessings that will come. But not everyone can apply this concept. How about you?
