We are worry too much about what people will think about us, what they
will say about us, how they look at us. We are hurting so much when people
insulting us, when they neglecting us. The most painful would be the one that
we love is reacting like that. What's the purpose of living in this life
anyway? The answer is in the Quran, specifically Surah Adh-Dhariyat 56-58:
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. I
do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me. Indeed, it
is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength."
We were created to impress The Creator not all the creations so why
worry? We have two guidance, the Quran and Hadith of Prophet
Muhammad pbuh. Whatever happens to us, whatever actions that we wanna take, refer
to both of it and think. Does Allah s.w.t allow us to take the actions or is it
being forbidden? If it is right for us to do, just do it. Find the courage and
simply give a shot. You don't have to give a damn of what people will say. They
will keep on talking, bad people will keep on insulting no matter how much
deeds that you do. No matter how good you are. They won’t be satisfied either
you are doing good things or bad things. They will always find ideas to
criticize. For what you keep on doing good things when you know people won't
appreciate that & they will still find your faults? It is because The
Creator had promised in Surah Al-Kahf 30-31:
“Indeed,
those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to
be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds. Those will have gardens
of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned
therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and
brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good
is the resting place.”
When you had done wrong things,
seek for His forgiveness & others who involved. Try to change the
situations if you can. Be responsible. Everybody make mistakes. If you can't
change the situations then improve yourself to become a better person. So that
you won't repeat the mistakes, the same sins in the future. However, in the
real world, by writing this article and for you who read it, I’m not promise
that we will become hardcore. We will still hurt when we are facing those with bad
mouth. The purpose of writing this article is just that to remind myself and
you. Whenever we fall and bleeding, find way to heal the wounds and get up
again, move forward till the last breath. Never give up on Allah s.w.t & on
ourselves.
