Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalamu'alaikum (May peace be unto you),
Begin with all praise is due to Allah s.w.t, we seek his help and we ask for His foregiveness. And we seek refuge from Allah s.w.t from the evil of ourselves and for the evil consequence of our evil actions. Whomsoever Allah s.w.t guides, there is none to misguide, and whomsoever Allah s.w.t leaves to fall astray, there is none to guide. And I testify that there is no diety that is worthy of worship accept Allah s.w.t and Muhammad s.a.w is His last and final messenger. After that, the best speech is the book of Allah s.w.t and the best guidance is Muhammad s.a.w. And the worst of all the affairs are the matters that are newly introduced in the religion. Every matter that is newly introduced is an innovation, all of the innovation is misguidance, all of the misguidance is going astray, and all the going astray is in the fire.
The journey here as per se is with regards to our journey in this life. First and foremost, I would just like to share a bit of my knowledge with my brothers and sisters insyaAllah (Through Allah's will), for I am still learning and I do not intend to show that I know more than any of you, A'uzubillah (I seek refuge in Allah s.w.t) for I certainly am not. Frankly, I am sure most may know more than I do, perhaps we could share a bit of our knowledge and may we benefit from it insyaAllah.
Everyday, people go through hardships and calamities that may befall them which also may lead them in a state of distress and on the other hand, people tend to seek happiness in various ways to an extend where they desire to obtain instant joy and happiness. Most would say, it is 'life' by its nature, whereby there are times we stumble and there are times we feels as if we are reaching the clouds and there are also times where we are in apathy, void, solitude, lonely, rather oblivious with our sense of direction in life as a whole. Often we reflect upon the period of time which we feel happy and content with in times of despair. Assumingly thousands of questions and assumptions that takes place constantly. Therefore let me just ask you as well as myself, why do we do what we do at this very moment? Is there any real purpose of why we do it? Do we yearn for recognition from the people around us? Are we doing this to feed or fulfill our desire selfishly? Is it just a mere act of conformity of how the society has conditioned us in our decisions? Certainly I am not here to judge others regarding on these matters, rather it is just something to contemplate on. People walk in and out in one's life regularly, and often we are affected devastatingly by it disregard whether they are our close friends, partner in life, and even our family.
The following question would be, how do I prepare myself in overcoming or even when the time comes how do one deals with such matter? Therefore, seeking knowledge ought to be the rational reaction in dealing or to even understand life, our lives at the very least. I do welcome remarks regarding on this 'blog' that I have written as well as what I may write in the future insyaAllah, but again it is something for everyone of us to contemplate on. There are times when we sit with our friends, families, colleagues, etc. and talk about many things in general. Within the conversations that we have participated in, how often do we talk about death? For it is a phase where every single creation will go through without knowing when, where, and even how we are going to die. Death does not discriminate between ages, skin color, level of intelligence, how much money you are making, or any other reason that you may argue. Verily death is certain, even for those who do not believe in the unseen (things that cannot be sense by our human senses). Of course, there are voices of opinions out there who proclaims that we only live once, therefore live life to the fullest. It is our own choice with regards of how we want to live our lives, so I urge you and as a reminder for myself to think, to ponder, and to contemplate about this subject although it may be a cliche for many people. Do the thinking for your own sake and not for others insyaAllah. Do not let other voices cloud your thinking, as this is just a reminder for all of us indiscriminately. We are forgetting that death is catching up to us, death can just sneak up just around the corner and it occurs when we least expect of it. Bare in mind when we have taken one step forward in life, death takes two to catch up unto you. Everything that we love and own in this life will eventually begone.
Human tends to worry about the future alot, regretting of the mistakes that they have made in the past or stuck with the achievements that they have made in their pasts, and how we have taken lightly about the present. People voiced out about what that can or want to achieve in the latter, but what about the things that you can do right this moment? We usually would say, "I am going to stop this bad habit, or start doing good deeds in the near future, so on and so forth...". Do we actually think that we are going to live untill then? Na'zubillah (We seek refuge in Allah s.w.t). 'Think before you act' - one of the most popular advice used by many people today. Before we point fingers and blaming others for not doing so and so, let us reflect such accusations and ask ourselves instead. When someone is doing a deed, why put them in shame or to humiliate them for what their deed (sincerely) when deed is suppose to be encouraged amongst us humans yet we trivialized even for the smallest deed that one may do Na'zubillah. It is amazing when one can be so conscious about others but severely ignorant when it comes to their own, and how we triggered in fury when others criticize about us but we enjoy doing that to others.Enough with the sarcasms, enough with the slanders, enough with backbiting, enough with all thoughts and actions that could harm another person deliberately. Correction comes from within.
This is just a reminder for you and myself. May Allah Azza Wa Jal (Mighty and Majestic is He) protect us and guide to the righteous path, Ameen (May it be so).
May Allah Azza Wa Jal forgive me for the shortcomings from what I have wrote.
Glory be to Allah Azza Wa Jal, I testify that there is no diety that is worthy of worship accept Allah s.w.t and Muhammad s.a.w (peace and blessings be upon him) is the last and final messenger, I beg for His (Allah Azza Wa Jal) forgiveness in all the shortcomings that I have made.
Fi Amanillah,
Wassalamu'alaikum.
