Qalb in Silence

Itu sebab dlm kehidupan jangan mengharap sesiapa pun tolong kita. bangkit dari kesusahan atas dua kaki dan kudrat kita.

Parents pray for a little free time away from the kids. Those without children yearn for the gift of a newborn. The married are frustrated with their partners. The singles are fed up of being alone. Leaders secretly wish they did not have all these responsibilities. Followers wish they could take the seat of accountability. The employed are desperate to sit home and chill. The unemployed are going crazy and running around trying to find a job. People on one side of the planet are sick of all the rain. On the other side of the world, people are praying for a single drop. “If only my nose was straighter! If only my bank balance was bigger! If only… if only…”

Everyone dreams of “If only” but In reality - Allah knows what is best for us. Everyone thinks that the next man is living better than him. Everyone assumes the grass is always greener on the other side. That is not the case. All of us believe that people out there are living perfect lives, but we forgot that nothing in the dunya is what it seems. Perfection is only in the Next World. Allah said, “And few from My servants are truly thankful.” The Prophet ﷺ did not stand up or sit down without showing gratitude to Allah. He said if you wake in the morning with food on your plate, with security in your home and with good health then you have been given the treasures of the world. How often we forget that! Our Lord said, “If you are thankful - I shall surely increase you.”

Kau cerita semua kisah yang boleh bagi dia semangat. Kau cerita seolah-olah kau tiada apa nak dirisaukan dan dia tidak perlu risau sebab kau takkan hilang. Maksudnya akan ada dengan dia. Tapi, dalam sana. Dalam diri kau penuh dengan pengecutnya.

That is what we call the power of love? Mungkin. Banyak benda perlu belajar dari apa yang dicakapkan tu. Bukan hanya ucapan kosong untuk satu hari. Itu mesti ada sebab dia. Allah suruh belajar.

Aku tak tahu sampai bila nak macam ni. Cerita kisah nabi Ayub supaya dia rasa tenang. Supaya dia tak give up. Tapi sejujurnya aku tahu dia lebih kuat dari aku. Kuat dari yang aku fikirkan. Tak pernah nak buruk sangka. Cuma terima dan redha dengan semuanya.

Aku patut belajar dari dia kan? Patutnya akan ada someone yang layak untuk jaga dia. Bila cakap pasal ni mesti dia cakap kenapa mesti orang lain? Ya jelaslah aku tak layak dan tak mampu.

Salah sorang memang kena kuat, untuk kuatkan the other one. Kalau semua rebah, apa je yang tinggal?

Allah سبحانه و تعالى knows you’re trying.

Allah سبحانه و تعالى knows it’s difficult for you.

تذكر أن الله معك

Every time you are afraid

You will come across people who are waiting to see you fail…. remember success does not come from them, Allah grants it you.

You will come across people who gossip about you or insult you… remember never stoop to their level, Allah knows.

You will come across people deliberately sharing your disappointments but never your triumphs… remember the good you do comes from Allah.

You will come across people who will refuse to help you… remember Allah provides assistance.

You will come across people who will make you feel miserable… remember Allah grants sabr.

You will come across people who will scar you for life… remember Allah heals all wounds.

You will come across people who will be so jealous of you they will rejoice in your pain… remember Allah is with you.

You will always come across evil people in this world… remember Allah is all knowing and trust him.

Your ultimate relationship is with Allah.
