Happy Ending Summer

Bismillah
Assalamualaikum wbt


This is just a few posts ahead from my previous joyful post of coming back home. Well, only two days left now. How strange the time passed, slow in the beginning, but faster at the end.A year ago, my close friend gave me a shirt. A long sleeved shirt with stripes of red boxes, yellow and orange. It looked cool and metro sexual. I wore those kinds of shirts back in Adelaide.

For that reason, after a while it made my arms looked fairer. My wrist and above had became equally radiant with my hands. I did look like a Chinese now. However, during the summer break in Malaysia the colour seemed to change drastically. Every single day, my skin was tanned by the blazing sun. The hot sweating weather made it impossible for me to don long sleeve anymore. Now, I realised why people said the price of Jannah wasn’t cheap. Deeply I admired women who covered themselves in such climate. They chose to please Allah and thus they deserved the most desirable paradise.

Alhamdulillah this summer had been great and filled with Allah’s love and blessings. He blessed my journeys, granted me opportunities and taught me priceless lessons.Despite two months passed like a fast moving train, I was totally grateful with the chance given to me.

A friend said, “Allah hides baraqah in your food everyday. It is there if you start with bismillah, and not if you aren’t. After you die, if people recognise and appreciate your contribution to this deen, means Allah has put baraqah to your age. If you study just for awhile, yet you gain lots, means Allah has put baraqah to your time” 

InshaAllah, by the same token, I pray Allah has put baraqah on me for the last two months.

He taught me that, not everything in life we are given right to choose. We never choose to be male or female, born as neither Malaysian or Korean, and we never pick the family to be born to. We never did.
Sometimes we can’t choose because it is rizq, assigned at our birth. Allah never let us choose because we never know which one will lead us closer to Him.

My close friend told me that he never expected to end up in Sunway. His parents decided to put him in one of the local universities. Yet, Allah’s planning overwrote everything. So, in Sunway he was now for the next 2 years. Allah introduced him to friends that always remind him of Him, together sailing this life for the sake of Allah.

He told me he has never been good in study, yet he passed in every major exam.

“Study is always a choice, but result absolutely beyond our control. He decides it. It is rizq from Allah. He knows if He failed you in those exams, it will draw you further from him.” I told him one day.

No one will ever know what his rizq is today. Today, a fisherman will never know what kind of fish he will catch, a shopkeeper will never know how many customers will come and you will never expect what is your lunch today. So, wherever you’re today, be thankful. Because He knows, being there will put you closer to Him.

Be grateful to Him and watch Him as He gives you more and make you realise the blessings that slip through your daily eyes.

Till we meet again Inshaa Allah in next summer. Thanks for all the times, efforts and loves. May you always be in Allah’s blessing and protections.

Rizq=rezeki.
