Lesson about patience and gratitude


I had wasting 48 hours in my life without doing anything this weekend. I can't focus in my study or whatever I'm doing and I don't know why. Worse isn't it? Maybe because I'm actually thinking about writing this. Several weeks ago, I got my results. It was not very good but better than previous one, Alhamdulillah.

In Facebook, all my friends are really happy with their results. Many of them succeed in listing the dean list. Some of them asking me, "Do you get the dean list?" It's nearly a month they talk about results. You know what, for a second in my life I feel like I'm a loser. After a minute I came back to my senses. Astagfirullahala'zim. I had done a sin. I keep telling Him that I love Him more than anything else but when He tries me, what happen? You can say thousands time that you love that person but at time comes asking you to prove it then only you realize how strong your love is.

89:15
Sahih International
And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me."
Malay
(Dalam pada itu manusia tidak menghiraukan balasan akhirat), oleh yang demikian, maka kebanyakan manusia apabila diuji oleh Tuhannya dengan dimuliakan dan dimewahkan hidupnya, (ia tidak mahu bersyukur tetapi terus bersikap takbur) serta berkata dengan sombongnya: "Tuhanku telah memuliakan daku!"

89:16
Sahih International
But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
Malay
Dan sebaliknya apabila ia diuji oleh Tuhannya, dengan disempitkan rezekinya, (ia tidak bersabar bahkan ia resah gelisah) serta merepek dengan katanya: "Tuhanku telah menghinakan daku!"
89:17
Sahih International
No! But you do not honor the orphan
Malay
Jangan demikian, (sebenarnya kata-kata kamu itu salah). Bahkan (perbuatan kamu wahai orang-orang yang hidup mewah, lebih salah lagi kerana) kamu tidak memuliakan anak yatim, (malah kamu menahan apa yang Ia berhak menerimanya);

89:18
Sahih International
And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor.
Malay
Dan kamu tidak menggalakkan untuk memberi makanan (yang berhak diterima oleh) orang miskin;
89:19
Sahih International
And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether,
Malay
Dan kamu sentiasa makan harta pusaka secara rakus (dengan tidak membezakan halal haramnya),
89:20
Sahih International
And you love wealth with immense love.
Malay
Serta kamu pula sayangkan harta secara tamak haloba!

( Al- Fajr 89: 15-20)

When I recite the above verses and read the meaning of it, I remembered that He tries us in many different ways. Everything in this world will never be eternal except Allah s.w.t.Whatever tries that He gave to us, He will judge us in Akhirat. He know what's the best for each of us. Who are we to go against Him? Who are we to complain this and that to Him? We are just His slaves. He can do anything to us but hundreds time he told us in Quran that He is The Most Merciful. My friend said, " Patience and gratitude go together. When you're not patient, you start complaining. And the fact that you're complaining is the sign that you're not grateful. " This is what happen and He taught me well about it.

"When Allah s.w.t tries you for many times about the same thing, it means that He want you to be strong enough facing it because that's the point of your weakness."

Sakura di Gurun Sahara



Sungguh aku lupa
Detik waktu kita bersua
Bagaimana keadaannya suasananya
Yang kekal subur hanya rasa gembira
Tatkala angin menghembus muka
Dalam guguran dedaun Angsana

Sungguh aku lupa
Bagaimana wajahmu senyummu
Gaya langkahmu mahupun tingkahmu
Kau kupandang hanya sekilas
Tapi kuat berbekas
Di ingatan atau di hati
Tiada satu yang pasti

Kata-kata tidak wujud antara kita
Tiada luahan rasa
Tanpa bersua muka
Baik dalam realiti atau maya
Kau dengan hidupmu
Aku dengan hidupku
Anehnya kisah ini
Sekian lama masih mencuit hati

Berjuta kali ku berkata
Tak mungkin berbunga sakura di Gurun Sahara
Sekali lagi aku lupa
KuasaNya mengatasi segala yang ada
Sehingga aku mula ragu
Antara cinta dan khayalanku
Yang pasti ku ingin kau bahagia
Walau di hatimu bukan diriku yang bertakhta

p/s: Pergghh...lama betul nak dapat balik ilham untuk puisi kreatif. Tiba-tiba muncul lepas dengar lagu Cinta Terakhir dari Aiman. Layan jiwang beb...
