Salamun alaykum wbt..
Alhamdulillah. Allah is The Greatest. You can never deny that. Alhamdulillah He still keeps me in this line, which insyaAllah is the right line, and I really really hope He will not deviate me from the pathway He's shown me after receiving so much Light from Him. Ameen. Allah and His Love and Mercy is indeed INCOMPARABLE. My tears are for Him and Him only. If it wasn't because of His Love and Forgiveness, I would have been most likely be like 'a dumb cattle grazing' in this life. Dumb. Cattle. Grazing. Empty. Lost...
So thank Allah if you are still praying (dengan khusyuknya), if you still have that pure kindness in your heart, if you can still smile to people when you don't feel like smiling, and all of those goodness, which have come, of course, by who else if not The One and Only. And I think for me, one of the things that you ought to be grateful to God the most is when you can be patient. Bersabar dalam semua dugaan hidup dengan melalukan apa yang diredhai-Nya.
Well, of course, there are many things that you can bersabar with. Things like daily life obstacles need a substantially amount of patience and perseverance, no? If you're coping with those kinds of obstacles, Alhamdulillah :)
The patience that I'm actually referring to is having patience with people. The highest and honored species of the living kind. I really need to thank Allah because the more I grow up, the more open-minded, tolerant and ultimately patient I am with almost everyone (why almost? you really don't expect me to be tolerant to people who clearly (and are aware of their wrong doings) cause God's Wrath do you? I cannot acknowledge their doings when Allah Himself memang sangat benci pada perbuatan mereka, can I? No.)
Kalau Allah mahu, boleh je Dia Yang Maha Esa tarik balik nikmat keimanan dan kesabaran Dia berikan kat kita. If He so Wills, he could have made me become more and more narrow-minded, intolerant and whatnot (Ya Allah jauhkanlahnya dariku, Ameen) that lead me to become more impatient (and this one too, Ya Allah). He is my Pentarbiyyah. Our Pentarbiyyah. So yes, it all comes from Him, darling, it all comes from Him. Therefore, I thank Allah because I can still love someone if that someone hates me, I can still treat someone with kindness, respect and forgiveness even if that someone would treat me like I don't deserve any. Yes, I may be sad to be in such a state, but only because it's fitrah manusia (human nature). But don't forget that it is also our fitrah to ask refuge from God when we feel down or low; after all, isn't He Our Protector? :)
'Nay, God is your protector, and He is the best of helpers.' (al-Imran: 150)
'If God helps you, none can overcome you: if He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? In God, then, let believers put their trust.' (al-Imran: 160)
Patience with people should also include this: True understanding of someone for their doings. I don't think we should even blame them straight when we look at a situation. Perhaps we should put ourselves outside our own shoes. Maybe we should see ourselves from far and ask, 'Betul ke apa yg aku fikirkan ni?' I mean, look, it's really easy to blame someone because we see him or her from another point of view. But if we can stop looking at them for a moment and look at our ownselves from another perspective, there will be chances for us to have done something wrong too.
I don't know, if you ask me, the best solution is just to be direct among ourselves. Terus-terang. Sangat sangat dihargai. For those who have been doing that to me, I seriously seriously seriously appreciate it :) It gives me peace and tranquility. If you're reading this, and you're the type who suka simpan dalam...just think of how opening up to others can do to your soul. Yes, it can be mind-nerving initially and lots of courage needed to confront, tapi entah, after that you would feel so much better, really. Trust me. But then again, opening up ni bukan untuk condemn people ok? It's to luahkan our thoughts and feelings. Psychologically (that Psyc 1A course has some benefits eyy), it's a healthy thing to do. Asalkan everything is within our syariat Islam, nothing can go wrong, only better, insyaAllah :)
Ok I guess my mind and heart have spilled out enough for now. Is it time now to feed them? Yes, I think so. Okie bye now =)
Wassalam wbt...
