Bismillah..
Assalamualaikum and good morning everyone :)
Yesterday, I slept at 3 am. My family and I stopped at my
aunt’s house first from our journey. We’re rushing back from Kuala Berang
because we wanna watch football. Not EPL but AFF Suzuki Cup, Malaysia versus
Thailand. But unfortunately, we stuck in traffic jam and it was raining and
there were so many lorry and trailers on the road. It was a bad situation so my
dad needs to be more careful.
Alhamdulillah, we arrived home safely and the match was
draw.
However, that’s not what I wanna share with you this
morning. I woke up this morning with grateful. Alhamdulillah, I am alive. Do you
ever think that you might not wake up for tomorrow morning before you sleep?
As a muslim, to remember about our death is necessary. Because
we will think about our sins, our fault, about what we said today, yesterday,
about our past, about our family and our friends. There are too many thing to
think about.
I admit, the death news about somebody in which my
schoolmate who also in the same university with me gave an impact on me. He was
somebody who did not really close with me but at the same time, we didn’t have
a good relationship as we’re arguing about something before.
Well, the important thing is, his death make me realize more
that every second we only have 50 % chance to live. Because the other 50% is to
died.
We must always prepare for death, either we as the person
who gonna die or we as the person who gonna face somebody gone. I admit it didn’t
easy.
I was facing my good friend died 2 years ago. I was in
shocked. He was my senior is school and 2 weeks before his death , he came to
school but I didn’t meet him. I also didn’t contact him for a long time. That day,
I was at home. I woke up in the morning, chatting with my friend in facebook,
without knowing that he was currently lying on operation’s bed. Till I arrived
at my hostel, I met my friend, Thing. She asked me, ‘Is L died?’ and I was
wondering which L? I thought it was L from our batch, but then she replied ‘ L
who played squash’ .
SILENT
I hardly smiled and I said, I didn’t know anything and she
started to feel if she was wrong. At that time, I was running to my dorm. Took
out my phone and sent a message to L number and a few friends .
When, I got replied about the news was correct, my eyes
immediately could not stop crying. It was hard to believe he was gone. He was
like a brother to me and we’re having a good time. Some of my best memories in
school was with him.
But, Allah loves him more. He will remain in our memories as
a good friend and a good coach. And teachers always remember him as a nice and
good student.
I wanna be like him. Harimau mati meninggalkan belang,
manusia mati meninggalkan nama. Alhamdulillah, Dia pergi meninggalkan nama yang
baik bersama kami.
Thus, everytime we must always prepare. My murabbi once
said that ‘taubat’ is something that we should always ask. Because sometime we
never noticed that we did a mistake. And Ustazah Noor laila said, taubat untuk
menyucikan jiwa. Furthermore, nabi Muhammad saw ask forgiveness from Allah
about 99 times per day, so I think we as an ordinary person should do more that
him.
Saya sedar saya selalu lalai, alpa, leka, lupa. Tapi saya
kena selalu ingat yang kita perlu sentiasa berusaha menjadi lebih baik. Setiap kali
jatuh, perlu bangun sebab jatuh tidak bererti gagal tetapi jatuh dan tidak
bangun bangun bererti mengalah. Dan kita hanya ada dua pilihan, bangun atau
terus jatuh.
|
the road not taken, do you remember this poem ? |
Saya pilih untuk bangun dan bangun. Bagaimana anda?
Berubah atau jahiliah? Barjaya atau gagal ? syurga atau
neraka ?
To gain a better life we need to make a choice and that
choice is in our hand.
“Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum, melainkan
kaum itu sendiri berusaha untuk mengubahnya “
Peringatan untuk diri sendiri ‘ Hidayah bukan untuk ditunggu tetapi untuk
dicari ‘
Tarik saya bila saya leka, tegur saya bila saya lupa, tolong
saya untuk sama-sama kita kejar bahagia ^^
Inshallah, jannah menanti
hidup untuk mati, Mati untuk hidup selamanya,
