One big family


There is no other great word to begin with rather than
بسم الله ‎

It is always about the blessing, the rain and new life

Life is like a deep ocean, many of us are sinking and drowning. If you want to stay afloat, sail it with a ship called taqwa, filled with faith and the sail is tawakal to Allah.

Admittedly, everyone would certainly feel lonely whenever they are far from those they love and care. As a mortal human, the feeling is deeper when we are at a new place surrounded by strangers and knowing we have nobody to rely on or trust, rather than the Almighty Allah.

We will always walk together in hand, as one big family

 Sometimes I’ll be walking home alone, patiently waiting for bus. Putting on the earphone and start listening to soft peaceful songs. The evening is getting dark, yet there are still some people waiting. Often I wonder why life is so quiet and monotonous. Yet, once awhile I meet them, unexpectedly. Perhaps, in the midst of the crowds when I’m on the go, heading to a place. They are very  familiar to me, friends and companions shall I describe.

Today we are together. We treat ourselves with a simple dinner. We spend the night laughing, giggling and reminding each other. They remind me of the clear purposes, goals, hopes and wishes in life. Never have I felt such bond before. Perhaps being far from home makes me rely and value the ukhwah and friendship more. It makes me wonder and thankful for all the blessings. I’ve always been granted by good and caring companions. Alhamdulillah shall I say. Despite the road is long, there will always be aids and helps along the way. Indeed they are always there to fill, cheer and colour my life up. I just need to seek deeper to realise that we are one big family.

There will always be light guiding us, whether it is bright or deem. We decide.

They taught me that in life we have various understanding, chiefly in religion. Some might be excellent and proficient in engineering, commerce, medic or even architectures while some are good in memorising the Holy Quran and thousand of hadith. We all have our strength and expertise in certain fields. In order to be good, we ain’t need to be those who are faqīh in religion. Indeed, knowledge itself is not sufficient, yet implementation is the priority. We may be lack in hadith and Quran knowledge, yet that is not a boundary to implement our duties and learn.

They taught me that human is like soils and they exist in three forms. They may be clay that is resistance to water and expel them, these are people who never accept any advises, hard and avoid cultivation. There is also sand, it absorb the water yet it slip through the particles. These are group that listen to good advices, yet never embark to remember or exercise it. Lastly is the fertile soil that absorbs and retain the water. They are human that is ready to sit and listen and ultimately practice them in daily life. Hopefully, we are among those who understand and ready to learn successively cultivate self to good deeds. Inshaallah with Allah’s will.

We ain't and never have been alone.

Indeed, we have varies and totally different path and obstacles in life. But, one thing that I did find in common was, we were learning. Those who learn from mistakes are smart. Yet, those who learn from other’s mistakes are intelligent.

Lets us learn to appreciate, be grateful with all the privileges we have. The good companions, health, wealth, peacefulness and even obstacles to nurture and grow us. Indeed to Allah we all belong, and to Him we'll return.

That's for now. Take care till then. Jazakallah khayran for reading this.
