50: Choices

Dan janganlah kamu berhati lemah dalam mengejar mereka (musuhmu). Jika kamu menderita kesakitan, maka ketahuilah mereka pun menderita kesakitan (pula), sebagaimana kamu rasakan, sedang kamu masih dapat mengharapkan dari Allah apa yang tidak dapat mereka harapkan. Allah Maha Mengetahui, Maha Bijaksana.

-

And slacken not in following up the enemy: if ye are suffering hardships, They are suffering similar hardships; but ye have hope from Allah, while they have none. and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.

-An-Nisa 4:104-

Apa ya beza kita dan mereka?

Stress exam, tak faham subject material, banyak tak cover lagi, scholarship tak masuk-masuk, duit tak cukup, orang menyakitkan hati disekeliling, family problems, sakit fizikal, sakit mental, etc2

Semua orang boleh punya masalah serupa. Semua boleh ada masalah yang sama dengan kita. Regardless of their belief. Regardless of their faith.

Yang beza adalah, kita ada Allah.. to whom we can always rely on.

Bezanya, ialah how you deal with each problem. You can choose to feel however you want. Choose to be happy, choose to be calm, for you have Allah. Al-Waliy. The Guardian.

Apa beza kita dan mereka jika cara kita deal dengan masalah pun sama macam cara mereka? keep on whining and cursing, giving up, hurting ourselves.. making things worse.. complicate the already chaotic situation.

I choose to be calm. Al-Hilmy.

I'm a human that always forget. Sometimes I forget that I have choices. Sometimes I forget that I'm in control.

Dear friends, keep on reminding me.

Oh Allah, Al-Waliy.. You're my ultimate guardian. Forgive me when I whine. Remind me when I forget. Kau yang memegang hatiku ini. Teguhkan aku.

Alhamdulillah ala kulli hal :)

Zain Bikha - Heart of A Muslim

Looking up at the sky, searching for Allah most High
He rejected the way of worshipping Gods of clay
Prophet Ebrahim knew that Allah was near
And that the heart of a Muslim is sincere

Under the hot burning sun, he declared God is one
Though with stones on his chest, his Imaan would not rest
The Muadhin knew that right would conquer wrong
And the heart of a Muslim must be strong

It's the heart of a Muslim through the guidance of Islam
That makes you fair and kind and helpful to your fellow man
So living as a Muslim means that you must play a part
Allah looks not at how you look, but what is in your heart

In our poor meager state, little food on our plate
Mother said she was glad, always sharing what we had
When I asked how can we share what's not enough
She said the heart of a Muslim's filled with love

He said its time you should know, you will learn as you grow
That some people around will do what's bad to bring you down
Father said to be a star that's shining bright
For the heart of a Muslim does what's right

So whatever you do, make sure your words are true
Honesty is the best, because life is a test
Even if it hurts so much you want to cry
For the heart of a Muslim does not lie
