Recalibrate.

 

We only know what the sweetness of happiness is --

by experiencing the opposite. And we only know how crushing sadness can be, by experiencing happiness. Our life is a constant spectrum, bouncing endlessly between these two basic states. Yet, when we truly reflect this Dunya is not our place of eternal salvation. It is merely our testing ground and path to that eternal happiness, that all human so naturally crave.

So let's recalibrate the GPS of our lives.

Let's make our destination is God.

Indeed, ever lasting contentment will only come from being close to Him.

May our road to our Lord be paved with divine love, light and grace always.

Work.

---

People are afraid to take action and create a better future for themselves because they are too worried about what others will think of them. Instead of learning how to REALLY make a difference in their lives, they work hard ; as everybody does.

The thing is --

If hard work alone had helped to create success and wealth,

everyone hardworking the 9-5 would have been a millionaire by now.

There is a specific reason why out of 33.5 millions people in Malaysia, there are only 17 billionaires.

The key to success is not working hard

but,

is to be able to work smart.

Contentment.

 

True happiness, is the result of a number of factors and can only be achieved by striking a balance between the material and spiritual aspects of life. If we overlook the spiritual aspect of life, it will result in the illness of the soul, which is a common spiritual disease. The cure is quite to believe in Allah Almighty and to accept the faith that He has approved for mankind. This spiritual disease, if left untreated, will result in disastrous consequences.

The Prophet ﷺsaid: “There is no Muslim servant who says in the morning and the evening three times: I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion and with Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet, except that it will be a right upon Allah to make him content on the Day of Judgment.” (Ahmad (18967)

True happiness is ultimately aimed to bless the individual a blissful life in the Hereafter. This is the noble cause that drives a Muslim to strive to become better.

Allah, the Exalted says: “And as for those who were [destined to be] prosperous, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will – a bestowal uninterrupted.” (11:108)

A believer does not believe in gathering as much wealth as he can in this life, for the Prophet (SAW) said, “This world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the non-believer.”(Sahih Muslim 2956)

A believer who is aware of the bounties and blessings bestowed by Allah upon him and gratefully conscious that his very existence, body, spirit, intellects and faculties are gifted to him out of generosity, is moved to celebrate his Creator’s praises and be grateful to Him. Such a believer attains the satisfaction, blessedness, and inward pleasure, which is beyond description.

Closure.

At the end of the day, if someone wants to be in your life, they will be. Truly, if they are capable, they will make the effort, they will show up.

If they do not -- let that be your closure.

However, you do not have to hate them.

You do not have to remember their contribution to your life as anything but beautiful. Do not ruin them in your mind, do not grip until you feel resentment. Instead, love them without attachment. Love the lessons they taught you.

Wish them well every single time you think about them. Miss them, but do not ache for them to come back. If the people in your life left because they were not ready to value you, or love you, or be there for you, do not wish for them back, do not ask for them to be more than they can be at the moment. Wish for them to figure themselves out. Wish for them to grow. They are on their own journey -- a journey you are not a part of. And that is okay. You have to learn that, that is okay.

So instead of focusing on the people who left, focus on the people in your life who have chosen to be there. Focus on the ones who stayed, on the ones who appreciate you and respect you. Focus on the people who match the love you give them. Focus on the people who empower you and grow you and make your life beautiful.

You are surrounded by human beings who will not shy away from the love you give. You are surrounded by human beings who know that they want you in their life, people who show you that every single day. Do not take them for granted. Do not lose touch of what you have, chasing what you no longer do.

Trust me when I say --

You will miss out on beautiful things if you continue to stay rooted in all of the ways you were wronged, if you continue to let your past pull you from experiencing what the present has to offer you. Do not close yourself off to your potential. Instead, open yourself to the world, and allow for it to fill that space with the kinds of people, the kind of moments, and the kind of experiences that exhilarate you, that compel you -- that make you love yourself, and your life, and what you have to offer, more and more each day.

Guidance.

Talk to Allah,

if you are confused about someone.

He will either move your heart closer or push you away.

Signs will show up, you will hear something about them, you will see a side you have not seen before, you will slowly begin to make a decision and you will eventually figure out if that is the right person for you.

Talk to Allah,

if you do not understand why certain things are not happening or why certain blessings are delayed. Somehow, He will give you assurance that your patience will pay off - that He is planning something far bigger and greater than what you had hoped for.

You will understand, in time, that maybe you were not ready to receive what you wanted when you really wanted it. You will understand that the things you wish or pray for change over time. You grow and you realize that what you wish for a year ago is totally different than what you wish for now.

--

The thing is talking to Allah does not fix you overnight.

But it gives you the tools and the resources you need to

overcome the confusion, overcome the hardships

and stay hopeful that better things are coming in your way.

Maybe we are always looking for a quick fix,

but quick fixes do not last.

They break easily.

Healing takes time.

Finding what is really right for you is a long and tumultuous journey. Miracle take time but they happen and only Allah can make them happen.

And when you learn how to talk to Allah, solitude becomes sweeter and somehow you feel safer because you know that there is nothing you cannot handle.

Everything will fall into place.

Everything will be okay.

Sekarang, 

aku hanya ingin membuat diriku baik-baik sahaja tanpa harus menjalani hidup dengan keliru.

Meski kadang-kadang aku memang tak baik-baik ataupun harus tak baik-baik sahaja.

Agar aku tetap mengerti bagaimana mengendalikan diriku sendiri.

Sekarang,

aku ingin bertanggungjawab pada diriku sendiri.

Memperjuangkan diriku agar aku tak salah langkah lagi

dan tak lagi terjebak dalam kenangan yang membuatku terluka.

Sekarang,

aku tak lagi mahu mencari-cari kesedihan agar aku dikasihani.

Berpura-pura tegar agar aku tak merasa tertolak.

Sekarang,

aku tak mahu lagi mempermainkan diriku sendiri.

Mengait-ngaitkan masa sekarang dengan luka-luka yang sudah lama.

Sekarang,

aku ingin menjadi diriku sendiri.

Menyayangi diriku sendiri dengan ikhlas.

Aku akan mengendalikan diriku.

P/s : O' Ramadhan, i love you.

She.

She is kingless yet a queen.

She knows how to turn a mere kingdom to a greatest empire.

She has mastered carrying a heavy heart, a messy soul

and a reckless mind altogether.

Strong she is.

She has the ability to turn her history to her story.

Defined by no man.

She is her own story.

Both war and woman she is.

You can pull her down.

But you can't take away her strength.

Never interpret her silence as weakness.

"Sometimes the air stills, before the onset of a hurricane."

Kind as the sky --

wild as wave.

She's 💖

Seperti rumah usang tidak berpenghuni, kenangan juga barangkali dimamah usia.

Makin jauh dari asal-usulnya dimakan waktu, lama-lama dilupakan juga.

Ada manis yang berbaki, disimpan rapi, dikenang hingga ke hujung usia.

Ada pahit yang dilepaskan, dilupakan dengan harapan tak dikenang-kenang.

Ada yang berdarah, biarlah sembuh.

Ada yang tenggelam, teruslah karam.

Usah gusar, jangan lemah.

Jauh lagi perjalanan, terus pandang depan.

Self love.

A long back when I asked my mom when will I fall in love, where is my prince charming? She said to me that there is a right time for everything to happen, till then let your life happen.

I never said I don't wanna fall in love, in fact falling in love with myself made me more aware of love, made me realize what love is exactly, made me realize how I should treat someone right. I don't know what others think but I feel that when you treat yourself right, you treat others right.

My idea of love is being myself and let the lover be himself too, my idea of love teaches me to let people breathe freely even while being with someone else. It's not his responsibility to build an empire for me, it's my responsibility to be the person I wish to be, no one has to do it for me, they just have to live it with me.

I am busy loving myself, I am exploring myself, I am finding myself, I am not looking for a lover because love must be looking for both of us and will find us at the right time. Till then and beyond that, it's me who should treat me right.

"A queen without a king is busy loving herself."

P/s : Calm down and breathe.

 

Dewasa.

 

--

Menjadi dewasa itu boleh dikata tentang menerima dan berdamai dengan keadaan yang ada. Kerana di hadapan, kita akan didatangkan dengan banyak hal yang tidak menyenangkan. Mahu kembali ke masa lalu, tidak mungkin kan?

Mahu kesal, kecewa dan marah?

Itu juga hanya membuat perasaan jadi penat. Beberapa hal memang akan hancur berantakan dengan ekspektasi yang diinginkan.

Jadi ia sebenarnya adalah perihal mengikhlaskan, walaupun tidak mudah menerima hal yang tidak menyenangkan dengan hati yang lapang. Jangan terlalu sering menyalahkan diri sendiri. Maafkan kalau nyatanya banyak kegagalan yang dilakukan. Maafkan juga kalau keadaannya membawa kita ke ekspektasi yang belum boleh diwujudkan.

Kadang kita lupa, kita suka memaksa diri kita sendiri untuk sesuatu yang belum pasti.

Nikmati prosesnya 🌾

Forever.

 

Now that I have seen and experienced so much in my life. I feel that forever is not time bound. Although it is a measure of time but in actual sense, it lies in the small moments that you keep creating as life goes on. Those moments become memories and those memories last till you breathe.

The real meaning of 'forever' signifies loyalty and truthfulness. You giving this word to the person you love, requires honesty in it and you must remain intact as long as you exist in this world.

Let me quote the cliche line --

LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE

Yes!

Had you been aware of the coming times, you would be so conscious that you could never be able to enjoy the present. Don't you agree? And now, you don't know what is next and you cannot foresee the coming tomorrow.

So, you gotta love, care, create, feel and live in between the seconds and the minutes. Understand that your 'forever' is right now, here in this very moment by the side of the person you love and to whom you will love eternally.

'Forever' is hidden in the small moments.

P / s : Count your blessings.

Bibir Yang Luka.

 

Dengan bibir yang luka,

bagaimana harus menyebut,

kata-kata manis,

atau menegur dan menyapa,

teman dan kenalan,

yang tak pernah mengerti,

perit derita pengalaman.

Dan bila suara berdarah,

mulut dipenuhi kepedihan,

hanya mata dapat berbicara,

dan hati mentafsirkan,

erti dan makna --

penghidupan.

Cukuplah kiranya,

setiap kali bertemu,

menghulurkan tangan,

tetapi usahlah ditanya,

kenapa ada kegementaran,

dalam genggamannya.

Faith.

Having faith in Allah does not give you some form of immunity towards the problems and challenges of this life.

You can have faith in Allah and still feel sad, hurt, heartbroken and depressed. The thing about faith it is meant to restore hope within you and to remind you that there will be a better tomorrow, but as humans, Allah has created us with complex emotions and we were meant to feel them and yes, that includes feeling sad too.

The point of having faith is not to have problems or remain unfazed by them, it is to know that even in the depths of the darkness you are facing, you are never alone and Allah is always there with you. Your faith is not directly proportional to your emotions, feel them, validate them but know in your heart that better days will come, insyaAllah and you will get through this and there is light at the end of this tunnel, hold on a little more, and just a little more remains.

Salaah, du'a and the Quran are life vests to keep us afloat when we are drowning. It does not mean we won't be thrust in an ocean. It does not mean we won't sometimes feel like we can't breathe and like we are being dragged under.

But,

even when facing the highest wave, even if at times we are swallowing water and gasping for air, it is knowing we have some-One Who will bring us back and keepus afloat and help us get back to the safety of the land again.

And know that despite the negative ways others may make you feel, Allah is the One to Whom you can be vulnerable. Where we can shatter, where we can show every insecurity and know that we are still worthy.

The prophets (PBUH), has shown us that even when others do not understand, even though with your amount of worship, the struggles of life are incredibly overwhelming.

With Allah, you always have a safe place.

"Mental illness is a special trial, no bruises, no evidence. Just a silent battle that Allah has hidden from the world."

Begitu mudah lisan mengaku sayang, namun sikap sering hadirkan luka. Mungkin hati tulus memberikan cinta namun perilaku tidak enak dirasa. Berukhuwah itu berlandaskan cinta kerana Allah semata. Lantas bila benar-benar cinta mampukah diri berbuat yang sesuai dengan ajaranNya?

Bertutur santun kala bersapaan. Menebar senyum kala berpapasan. Berbincang penuh kelembutan. Dan raut wajah nampak cerah memesonakan.

Jangan pernah sengaja bersikap tidak sopan. Jangan pernah serta merta berbahasa yang mengandung kebencian. Apalagi menampakkan raut wajah penuh permusuhan.

--

Apa yang mau dicari, ketika keburukan cermin hati terbaca teman kita? Atau kita bangga dengan hawa nafsu yang sudah mendominasi hati kita? Amarah yang penuh kesumat telah mengikis kesucian jiwa. Padahal bersaudara dengan orang beriman sangat banyak kemanfaatan. Menjaga kita dari kesesatan, menjadi jalan menuju keselamatan, dan di akhirat berhimpun dalam syurga yang penuh keindahan,

Nasihat indah seorang ulama, Yahya bin Mu'adz Ar Razi berkata,

"Hendaknya kamu mempunyai tiga sikap terhadap sesama mukmin; Jika kamu belum mampu memberinya manfaat, maka janganlah kau beri kesusahan. Jika kamu belum mampu membuatnya gembira, janganlah kamu buat sedih. Dan jika kamu belum boleh memujinya, maka janganlah kamu mencela."

Destiny --

The universe has already figured out what happens to the heart afterwards. For you, who used to say hello when the rain never stopped.

The current me no longer wants to think about you, maybe the current busy-ness has caused this. In the stage of keeping myself busy, I have a lot to do so that wasted work and thoughts will be eliminated.

I don't think of you as something in vain, the business of thinking about you the heart plays a role, unfortunately it disturbs my concentration first, you know? My heart is often out of control, becomes restless and uncertain ; is forced to turn to something useful.

Do you still remember? Have you ever had to turn back the memory of that time? When it rains, for example. Is there an irregularity that I used to say. I know you realized from the start. Of course, it is clearly illustrated by your sudden silence and didn't decide to answer.

I am now only following the orders of His destiny. What will happen in the future, I believe His commands always lead to happiness for His servants. Thus, everything happened according to His will, including the presence of feelings that were difficult to define. Now is enough to complete the endeavor.

I took a breath, felt the happiness that I often ignore. I straightened my feelings, wiped the water that came out of the corner of my eye. Tears flowed along with the grievous wound planted inside.

I took notebook, part of which was filled with various writings from the heart. I record all the events that I think. Let all that is in the body pour out with prayer and pen.

If Allah inspires His servants who pray, He actually wants to give gifts.

Allah is the Almighty.

Ya Rabb, aku futur tanpa cintamu.

 

Nak tahu cinta Allah bagaimana?

Saat kita jatuh dalam dosa, Allah ketuk pintu hati kita untuk berubah dengan pelbagai cara. Cuma kita yang akan menentukan samada kita mahu berubah ataupun tidak. "Wahai Tuhanku, janganlah engkau pesongkan hati aku sesudah engkau berikan petunjuk (hidayah) kepadaku."

 ---

Banyak manapun dosa kita ;

kita tak solat lima waktu,

tak berpuasa dibulan ramadhan,

tak menutup aurat dengan sempurna,

hatta dosa kita menggunung tinggi sekalipun,

berlarilah semula kepada Allah. 

--

Kerana Allah yang datangkan ujian dalam hidup kita.

Maka, selayaknya Allah jualah tempat untuk kita meminta pertolongan. Luahkan segalanya hanya pada yang pemberi ujian iaitu Allah. Kerana itu adalah tanda kekuatan dan kebergantungan kita kepada Allah. Yakinlah itu Allah Maha Mendengar. Benar-benar Maha Mendengar. Sungguh tiada sebaik-baik pendengar yang setia melainkan hanya Allah yang Mengetahui akan segala isi hati.

Berulang kali Allah bagitahu dalam Al-Quran,

"Bahawa tiap kesukaran itu disertai kemudahan."

Dan Allah siap bagitahu bila kita mahu berharap, cukuplah kita hanya berharap kepada Allah. Datangi Allah dalam apa jua cara. Meskipun kamu sampai harus merangkak di padang pasir demi untuk mendekati redha dan cinta Allah, lakukanlah.

--

Dan janganlah mencari Allah hanya bila kita perlu sesuatu daripada Allah.

Shine.

One of our core needs is the need for recognition. As long as we don't feel recognized we experience some kind of fear that we are not enough. Social media owe a big part of their success to the human craving for validation,

and it seems like we have forgotten what it means to have true confidence.

---

Confidence is not about looking strong and invulnerable. Confidence is about being who you truly are with all your imperfections because you are not so concerned about what others think of you; you are more concerned about what you think of yourself.

"The insecure compete against other people, while the confident compete against themselves."

Being confident doesn't mean we have to show everyone how good we are;

it means that we know we are enough without having the need to show off.

Tempat kerja.

Ustaz Pahrol pernah kata,

"Tempat kerja tempat yang lama kita berada. Jika balik rumah, kita balik dan tidur. Di tempat kerja kita jumpa dan berurusan dengan orang. Jika kita tidak bahagia di tempat kerja maka kita tidak bahagia."

---

Nasihat Dr Fadilah Kamsah kepada mereka yang mahu berhenti kerja sebab tak boleh kerja dengan orang, sebab rasa tak dihargai, sebab kawan-kawan tak ngam dengan kita,

"Betulkan diri kita dahulu. Betulkan niat kita. Doakan semoga orang-orang yang tiada hubungan baik dengan kita akan menjadi baik dengan kita, doakan untuk bos supaya bos sayang kita, doakan untuk company semoga company sukses."

--

Sebenarnya senang kita nak rasa disayangi ditempat kerja. Sangat mudah nak dihormati, dipercayai dan rasa tenang ditempat kerja.

• Tanamkan niat kerja kerana Allah. Pasti Allah bantu niat kita yang lain seperti nak bantu keluarga, nak bayar hutang dsb..
• Buat baik dengan semua orang, dengan kawan-kawan sekerja, dengan pembantu, dengan pelanggan, dengan pelawat dsb..
• Jangan mengadu domba. Nampak kesalahan orang, mudah adu pada bos dan jadi bahan umpatan dengan kawan-kawan. Jangan mulakan! Ini virus, pembunuh senyap ditempat kerja.
• Berlapang dada dengan apa jua yang dihadapi ditempat kerja. Tenang akan selalu menang :)
• Sentiasa ucap terima kasih pada bos dan kawan-kawan.
• Mohon maaf jika bersalah. Jangan ego.
• Senyum, usah mudah sangat berubah muka (Ini cabaran jugak bagi aku, dushh ==')

---

Tempat kerja adalah rumah kedua kita. Tempat kita mencari rezeki. Jika ditempat kerja kita bermain dengan perasaan; kita tidak suka dengan rakan sekerja, kita membenci, bagaimana doa kita mahu dimakbul Allah?

"Sebaik-baik manusia adalah yang memberi manfaat pada yang lain."
