fruitful, fearful, and foolish day for a normal friday

Assalamualaikum and hi,

We all have a life, and each one is different to others. We all have to learn through a different way. Thats what makes us unique.

Sometimes, when you failed in a little test at school, you know you have to give your another best shot in the upcoming test. Don't dwell in it and rub it in your face like it's the end of the world.

I'm telling you this, even though I am not a wise person. But I think I'm smart enough to learn from my experiences. I try not to fall in the same hole more than once, but sometimes, you just happened to fall more than twice in the same hole.

Just be cool with it, and learn from it. Do your best for the next shot which surely will come to you. I am sorry, but if you fail in your 20% test, or in your driving license, or whatever, that is not the biggest problem in your life yet. The worst hasn't come to you yet. Trust me. It is my conclusion that the people who usually quit and give up in the first minute they were mocked by challenges, are losers. Unless, they know they are, and they want to change that. And they DO change. That alone, will make them a winner. Even if they lose in the end. It takes a lot more of hard work and concern when you are not born a winner and trying to be one. It is just is..

I have travelled to many places, and I did not go the easy way. It was pretty tough. I've felt cold to the bone, without nothing to eat, I've been homeless, lost, hurt, humiliated, misunderstood... You name it, I've got it all covered.

"Why don't you look so serious then?" 

I am serious when I need to. But I also don't take things too seriously. Why bother take life so seriously if you won't get out of it alive anyway? As long as you live by the rules of Allah, and you do what is right. Plus, if you are a clever person, you will always remember to be careful to the ones who never gets angry, and/or the quite ones. Let me put it in this way, if someone never ever complaints about your cookings before, and suddenly one day, he starts to say that your cooking is too sweet today, listen to him.

Believe me, if I start to be so serious in anything I do, everyone around me would be crazy. I would be crazy as well. There were some certain points in my life, when I went through some difficult times, I just stop feeling. It is easier that way. It seemed like a good idea at the moment, but then I realised it is also impossible not to feel.

I met a friend which I am really close to. She is like a sister to me. I do love her. We both share the same feeling of losing our loved ones. While listening to her story, I couldn't help but just stare into the darkness. This is the exact feeling that I hate. The feeling of losing. I don't know how to describe it. it's like your chest hurts, your chest really hurts. It even feels heavy to breathe. The thing is. when someone is gone, our memories about that person also will be gone. Not all of them at once, but bits by bits. The way they smile, how they smell like, things they like to do, even how they look like. We have already lost someone precious before. the question is, when will be your time to part with your loved ones?

Nasihat kubur

Kubur berpesan pada kita:

1. Aku adalah tempat yang paling gelap antara yang gelap. Maka terangilah aku dengan TAHAJJUD.

2. Aku adalah tempat yang paling sempit. Maka luaskanlah aku dengan berSILATURRAHIM.

3. Aku adalah tempat yang paling sepi. Maka, ramaikanlah dengan memperbanyakkan bacaan AL-QURAN.

4. Aku adalah tempatnya binatang yang menjijikkan. Maka, racunilah ia dengan AMAL SEDEKAH.

5. Aku yang menyempitmu hingga hancur bilamana tidak solat. Bebaskan sempitan itu dengan SOLAT.

6. Aku adalah tempat untuk merendammu dengan cairan yang amat sakit. Bebaskan rendaman itu dengan PUASA.

7. Aku adalah tempat malaikat Munkar dan Nakir bertanya. Persiapkanlah jawapanmu dengan memperbanyak ucapan kalimah LAAILAHAILLALLAH.
