Once we were kids


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

No one can ever predict the kind of blessing that he is getting today. 

I presume life is useless if we never learn anything new. It is disappointing after a long and tiring walk, we come home with empty handed. 

I’ve always believe that, one of the signs depicting Allah's intention for us to change and be better is by making us mingle and be in the midst of good companions and friends. The friend who always remind and guide us to successively improving ourselves, be kind and humble, and be positive in every actions and situations. Indeed, friends that keep reminding us of Him, are truly the best people to be bonded with. 

We once brave and strong walking through this long temporary life. 

Once we were kid and we thought everything was possible. We had a dream of becoming a superman and simply tied a red blanket around the shoulder. Swiftly, we stood in front of a standing moving fan and the blanket waved, as if we were flying high up in the open sky. Sometimes we climbed up to the top of a tree, not knowing that we might fell. Yet, we strongly believed that we were able and ultimately experiencing joy and satisfaction as we were looking far to the borderless scenery. Despite now it sounds silly, yet we simply made it happened. 

Back then, we never have any doubts and hesitation in reaching our goals and aims. However, as we are growing older, we think and exposed too much. Things seem to be a little different. We start to sprout doubt and sometimes believe that we could never make it. In the middle, someone might  lost hope and touch from Him, and swiftly thinking of ending the misery with an easy way. Some had a brilliant and excellent idea, yet keeping it silent. Hunted by fear to express themselves and thinking that people might be laughing and treating it as nonsense. Some have the best opportunity to make new friends, yet it slips away due to strong hesitation and fear to say, Hi!. 

Dream high and never scare to fall, surely you will fall on the highest tree. 

Truly in life we need to be firm and brave. Everyday we are flooded with decisions and choices. Sometimes we doubt the decision we made, we feel hesitate on whether to go on or abandon the mission and we expect the worst, yet the result appear to be better. I believe, everyone has his or her own struggles and hardships in life. Remember when you were a kid, you smiled to every problems, you keep on moving despite knowing you may fall and you did it without any doubts. All it takes is just to believe. 

One of His majestic and mesmerizing creation to ponder on.
  
Satan is the true enemy of humankind. They presence in every single act we are doing. They often come to our thought, preventing us from doing good deeds. Some are strong and swiftly eradicates the bad acts and move on to reflecting the consequences and guilty impact. Yet, some are neither strong nor weak, they struggle for a moment before the chains break. But, some do struggle initially yet bit by bit fallen to the devastating valley. Indeed satan is always a determined foe. But, once failed, they pursue us to start delaying the good deeds. Waking up late for Fajr or tremendously obsess with assignments and homework, causing us to pray at the very last minute. 

But,once failed, the satan whisper to us, "You are not showing off with all the deeds you are doing, you are just simply teaching people to follow you, so that they will learn and make you as a role model." Thus, we might feel being appreciated a bit and start doing it in the presence of others. But,once failed, they make us to do it fast. Therefore, we start to pray in a hurry coz we are busy and we loss the soul of our deeds and ibadah. 

But,once failed, the satan induce us to compare our ibadah with others. We start to think, "look at me, I memorized more surah than him or he doesn't pray, rest assured hell fire is his eternity home." Despite we ain't showing it, we think we are in higher standard than the commons. But,once failed, they make us lost the best. We may good in qiamullail, yet we often miss the fajr. Truly, the satan is far more innovative and idealistic than human being. 

Just by injecting simple thought, our ibadah is spoiled. Indeed, by just possessing a vulnerable and fragile heart, we are exposed to countless dangers. So, always remember death and rely an His ultimate protection. Be strict to self and tame the fierce nafs within us. Inshaallah, only to Him we put the hopes and guidance. . 


Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest night that the stars shine more brilliantly. ~Ali Ibn Abi Thalib, karamallahu wajhah.

 Lets us be racing in giving charity and sadaqah, indeed the best charity are from those in time of ease and hardship, when we feel burdened and stingy, once the fear of poverty is hunting us and when we gather wealth purely with intention be become rich. 

The best person is the one who is able to control his anger, forgive his mistake and do good to him. lets us live like an apple tree. Despite others are throwing stones to us, we respond by  throwing red and sweet apples to them. 

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