Assalamualaikum, Bismillah,
Alhamdulillah Im still alive today to continue my journey in this world and to update this blog. Tonight is a brand new shift for me as Ill be working with different people other than the usuals. Insya Allah it will be a breeze. Few more days before Ramadhan comes to an end. Ive mixed feelings as I dont feel the celebration of Hari Raya. In fact, Im still thinking of the ibadahs that Ive done. Ive done little compared to those who are far superior than me in terms of their ibadahs.
Maybe, I should share some knowledge with all of u. When we want to compare ourselves with others, there are some criterias. When we want to compare ourselves with those in terms of rezeki, we need to compare with those who are below us. As in those who are given lesser than us so that we can thank Allah for all that was given to u. Bersyukur to what we have compared to others who received lesser than us.
On the other hand, if we want to compare in terms of knowledge, then, we compare with those who are more superior than us. Like those ustazs and ustazahs. How much knowledge they have compared to us. When we compare ourselves like this, we tend to have the urge and semangat to learn even more.
I know its easier said than done as we are human beings afterall. Thats why we need to "serahkan diri" to Allah. We leave it all to Him but only after we had done our best. Same goes like we want to pass exams or projects. We always try our best then we leave it all to Allah. Never did we just leave it and say "leave it to Allah". We need to do our part then we leave the rest to Allah. This is what we call, Tawakkal. One good example is during Nabi Muhammad s.a.w, there is this person who never tie his camel, risked of losing it and leave it just llike that. When the prophet asked him to tie his camel, the person said "I leave it to Allah". The prophet replied "Tie your camel then leave the rest to Allah". So from this story, we knew that we need to do our part then we can leave the rest to Him.
One more thing before I end this post, when we pray to Him and asks Him for anything we want, we should be specific. Some says that He already knew what we want. Yes He do knows what we want but He wants us to ask and be specific. Never have a mindset that says "ala Allah tau ape kite nk pe so tkya doa la."
Renungkanlah rakanku sekalian. Wabillahi taufik walhidayah, wassalamu`alaikum warahmatullahi wabarokaatuh.
