as LOnG as U dON't stOp...


“Udah lama mbak ngak ke mari,” he...tak reti nak buat muka dengan gaya macam mane. Tu la...padan muka kat diri sendiri, sampai kene tegur dengan ibu yang ngajar Quran. Buat2 busy lagi. Since coming back from semester break tak tunjuk2 muka kat ibu. Tapi, macam terharu bila fikir yang dia baru je joining the pengajian for less that a year but that ibu is able to remember her face. Betulla orang cakap, orang yang hati bersih dan alim2 ni ingatan dia kuat.

But then, bila fikir balik dia bukanlah dari stock2 yang selalu pergi dengar ceramah. Bukan jugak time kecik2 dulu selalu dengan riang rianya ikut parents ke masjid or wut not. Cumanya bila dah duduk kat sekolah agama time secondary school dulu baru la mula kerah dan marah diri, suruh rajin2 la bersihkan hati dengan benda2 macam ni and the confession: memang susah nak buat.

Thousands of excuses could be created when she got lazy. Nak tido la, malas la, tak makan lagi la tapi dia tak pernah la guna excuse nak study. It’s indeed absospookylutely one lame excuse la kalau nak apply in her context yang time tu macam kanak2 ribena lagi, asyik fikir nak main, tido and watching tv. So, if she ever came with that hampagas excuse alamakataklah tak de sape yang nak percaya.

Tapi manusia. Over the time, one should be getting more matured. Tak kan selama2nya tak teringin nak ikut fitrah. Tak kan la never on earth crossed her mind the idea to deepen her study dalam hal2 agama dan ibadah tak pun akidah.

It doesn’t need even a quarter of her brain to deduce yang bukanla dengan berhuha-huha aje yang diperlukan untuk selamat kat dunia and the hereafter. An empty heart should be filled with Islamic thoughts and teachings tapi nak tau macam mane Islamic teaching kalau dah 24/7 tak nak spare some time listening and reading all the Islamic stuff?

Bila dah ader rase nak change for good dia tried to fulfill the resolution. Even most of the time struggling, juggling nak manage time. Mane nak beramal, mane nak study, memang tak reti. Tapi cuba jugak jadi persistent. Walau kekadang terdengar ade suara2 menggertak kalau tak focus on study alone kang tak pass exam atau bile tetiba rase nak mengeluh, down semacam sebab tak habis study or tak siap lagi homework tapi kene pi dengar ceramah.

She should’ve changed her mind setting, pasal dah tua, should get the point yang all the religious activities yang dia participated seinci pun tak pernah lower her grade or stealing her study time. Tu sumer merely rumor yang sangatlah groundless. Mula belajar terima hakikat yang kalau her marks were not at the satisfying level, it was herself to be blamed. Yang malas nak study since the very beginning, bukannya dengan sesuka-suki salahkan benda2 yang enable her to be a good muslimah.

But definitely the changes were not in a drastic way. Pape pun she should thank everyone in her life that led her to the right direction, she should appreciate each experience that she attained during her adolescence. Semuanya very much worth it in teaching her the beautiful meaning of life. The beautiful life is the blessed one, yang diberkati dan penuh ketenangan. That’s her first crucial lesson in life, leading her to some others yang totally beneficial.

"Don’t tell your problems to people: 80% don’t care about them and 20% are glad you have them."- It sounds sarcastic but yeah that’s life………………for those materialists. But for the Muslims...

“...Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancor: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment.” – al Maida 5:2

“The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.” – at Tawba 9:71.

Dia bersyukur, lahir sebagai muslim. Sentiasa dinasihati, ditunjuk ajar, diberikan kesempatan untuk berubah, dididik dan diasuh dalam linkungan yang baik. Oleh golongan yang terpilih. Kadang2 terfikir, if all these people were unpredictably selfish and refused to spend their time on da’wah (enjoining good and forbidding evil), would she be exactly like the way she is right now. It could be. It’s Allah’s will, no one knows. But under the normal circumstance, it would be unlikely…..

By then she knew that others already did something under the name of Islam. Sedangkan dia, nak suruh pergi dengar ceramah pun susah. Bile buat self-reflect, rasa macam ntah pape. Banyak lagi yang nak kene buat and at the same time, life is getting shorter...and shorter each year.


Take your time to contemplate on the journey that you have walked so far………………
It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you don’t stop…

Ya Allah, Kamulah Tuhan yang sangat suka mengampun, ampunkanlah dosa-dosa saya).
