We will never know how it feels like to be in someone else's shoes. What they go though. Their laughter, their cries, their worries. We may listen or read their writing, but still, u can never truly understand them.
Everyone is unique. We love different things, we hate different things, we think differently. everything about us is different. But that's what makes us who we are.
Humans tend to be judgmental. when we see something that is out of the norm, we are quick to judge. Like when we see someone homeless, most of us will automatically say in our head,
- 'eeee...how long haven't this guy take a shower.'
What's more sad is that most of us will straight away think of the negative stuff. One thing i learn is that everyone is who they are because of a reason. So never judge. Judgment should only be made by God. Our job is to try to understand and help.
" we live today becoz of God's grace. lets make it worth."
Is it hard to love?
Berkongsi itu lebih baik
Assalamua'laikum
Marilah sama-sama kita bangun dari mimpi indah kita. Dalam dunia kita yang serba mudah, tak ramai yang peka tentang keperitan hidup orang-orang yang kurang berkemampuan.
Memang betul, usaha boleh mengeluarkan hidup kita dari kedaifan dan kesusahan. Namun kadang-kala ada insan yang berusaha gigih, namun mereka masih kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang. Pekerjaan yang dilakukan ditambah dengan hasil tanaman yang mereka usahakan tidak mampu untuk menampung kehidupan mereka seharian. Apatah lagi ditengah-tengah kancah politik negara yang tidak stabil. Sesetengah pemimpin lupa akan tanggungjawab mereka yang sepatutnya membela dan membantu nasib rakyat. Dikala YB dan Dato' boleh hidup senang di rumah bak mahligai, orang-orang kampung mereka tidak tentu semuanya telah keluar dari kancah kemiskinan. Bukan semua pemimpin kita sebegitu, namun tidak dinafikan bahawa masih ramai yang kurang peka walaupun itu adalah kawasan pimpinan mereka.
Bersyukurlah kita jika kita masih mampu untuk menyara kehidupan kita dan keluarga. Kerana sesungguhnya itu adalah anugerah dari Allah dan anugerah itu sepatutnya untuk kita kongsi bersama. Kepada golongan yang masih struggling untuk menyara kehidupan, teruskan usaha dan tambahkan amalan. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menurunkan ujian kepada hamba-hambanya jika mereka tidak mampu menanggung ujian itu.
Jom kita sama-sama berkongsi nikmat yang Allah berikan. Besar jasa seseorang yang membantu jiran tetangganya.
Salam perjuangan.
A moment for thoughts.
“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
… Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
… Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
… Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
… Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
… Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
… Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
… Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
… Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.”
Mother Theresa.

I also insert another quote by The Prophet Muhammad below.
Imam Bukhari’s Book of Muslim Manners.
" I'll do good when I'm older. "
- Will you live that long? And don't you expect the young one's to do good to you?
" Why do good when people always treat you bad? "
- How long will you live in hatred? Isn't it so tiring?
"If I do good, people will step on me instead. "
- If you're on the right side, why should you be worried about them when God is with you.
The societies are crumbling and people don't even care about others. Snatched thieves, murders, burglary, pedophiles. I think you can name more that what I just say. I believe that bad people have a sound mind and a heart. So here's a question for you. If your family or dear one's were hurt by other people's bad intention, won't you be mad and hope it never happen. So how could you do that to others?
Think about the hearts that you torn apart. The life of a parent or sons and daughters that you took from their family. Life is never easy. But it is not a permit to take others for granted. Inside, we are all humans. And we all hope for is for people to care about us as much as they care about themselves.
Touch people hearts. Who knows. Your good example will lead others towards the way that God leads us.
Wassalam.
Things we can count on even when things go bad
Assalamua'laikum my dear.
Its already sunday. But today is kinda fun. Chat with a few friends. Work for the program together. We talk mostly about the cost of living which is getting higher and higher as time passes. Seems only yesterday that I have RM10 and I could buy all the things I wanted. But now, the value seems so small and everyone's striving to balance the little money that they have.
I guess everyone is so worried about money. Since we have always live a better life before, no worries about whether I have enough money for the day or not.
A simple life is the best.
You could have plenty of land to grow crops yourself. You could ride your bicycle or walk to the shop nearby without worrying about 'peragut beg' or being knock down by an oncoming vehicle. You can even have plenty of time with your family and live your fullest with the things that you have.
The more we have, the more we want.
If we obtain something, its always better to have more. We always compare ourselves with people who could live n luxury. But we seldom compare with those who live in poverty and still survive. People strive to have the highest salary possible. Parents work day and night to make sure that they have enough money for their family. Before, we say that money can't buy everything. But now, people say everything cost them money. And it is true most of the the time. So, its kinda weak to condemn this people who work so hard to get money.
The richer are getting richer, and the poorer are more poor. Even those in the middle class are finding it hard to go through each day without worries.
We see the bad side of the situation clearly, but maybe its time to think deeper.
1) Pray to god for help and guidance.
People nowadays are so far away from God. They neglect their prayers, they steal, they abandon their children, they break their parents heart, they go for the easy way to get money. And I know you can think of the other things besides the one that I mention. The reason our heart is always rumbling and worrying is partly because of our relationship with God has weaken. Never underestimate God, as He is the most clear about all of us. So, strengthen our relationship with God first, and everything insyaAllah will be easier for us to digest, even in hard times.
2) Try to be better towards others and to ourselves.
Be a better person. Be better as a preacher, worker, student, daughter or son, friend. We want everything about us to be perfect. But remember, therBe are others who also wants their life to be perfect. With no give and take, or help from each other, it is like pulling a rope from one end where the other party pull it as hard as we do on the other hand. No one wins, and everyone is left tiring themselves out.
3) Be thankful and share our happiness with others.
If you are a mugger, every single minute you will be hoping that a person walking past will toss a coin to you. If you are a leader, you will want your subordinates to follow you and support all your decisions. If you are a worker, you hope that your employer will respect your rights and have compassion in tough times. We all want to be appreciated no matter who we are. We all want people to understand us. But usually, we fail to be compassionate towards others. We fail to bring happiness for others when we are able. So be loving. InsyaAllah, the love we give, we will receive it in a different way but in a more meaningful manner.
i think thats too long already. I'll add up the list on the next post.
take care. :P.
Towards being a better human.
the value of you to your parents
Assalamua'laikum.
People say that we will only understand what mothers feel until you become one.
Maybe we should reflect what we've been doing for all the years we are born in this world.
Lets try to imagine ourselves in their shoes.
Just imagine having a son or daughter.
How do you want them to be.
Surely we you want them to be the best person alive.
Dear daughters and sons
Remember the time when you're so small
when your feet are so small.
when you are so vulnerable
who feeds you?
who washes you clean?
who was there when you're sick
they love you more than they love themselves
but we seldom remember
we seldom say thank you mom and dad
take care mom and dad
i love you mom and dad
but remember
action speaks much louder than words
how you act?
how do you bring you family name around
just remember my dear brothers and sisters.
you family are like diamond compared to gold.
But nowadays, usually people care more about their friends than their parents.
whenever their friends are in need, they will always offer help. but when it come to their family, its already a different case.
and i still haven't found the solution to resolve this. it happens in my own family but i hope that I can do more to help out...
Apabila agama kita difitnah, adakah kita benar-faham pada ajarannya?
Assalamua'laikum.
Saya disini sekadar ingin berkongsi maklumat dan berharap pandangan ini dapat membantu semua dalam memahami Islam.
Al-Quran.
Kini heboh dengan penerbitan sebuah filem terbitan Belanda. Isi kandungannya menimbulkan kemarahan seganap umat Islam.
Sebagai umat Islam, kita perlulah mengkaji punca dan kesan-kesan berlakunya senario pada hari ini. Segala yang berlaku ada hikmah yang tersirat disebaliknya. Hanya kita sebagai hamba Allah yang lemah saja sukar untuk memahami.
Persoalan yang paling penting, adakah kita sendiri sebagai umat Islam memahami al-Quran sepenuhnya?
if we as the preacher fail to understand al-Quran itself and understand the situation, i believe there is not much that we can do to help our faith stand in its peak once again.
what does your life means
What does your life means?
This question have been on my mind for a long time. But I don't put much attention to it.
What really does your life means.
I'm not asking bout the definition of life or something like that.
I'm saying about why do we exist. Why are we the one living still living while hundreds others may be dying or taking their last breath.
Are you special or are you more worthy than others to gain another day on earth.
People don't really put much thought into this matter.
As a muslim, all humans are created to be khalifah or leader.
We must not only be a leader to others, but most importantly, we have to be the greatest leader to ourself.
We preach and pray our religion day and night hoping to find the peace, love, tranquility, or even hoping to be succesful in what we do.
But is that all?
The one thing that people usually forget is that we live not only for ourself, but also for others.
We have the responsibility for all our brothers and sister.
It is never too late to lend a helping hand or to meet new people.
The more we reach to others, insyaAllah, Allah will always be there for us in thick and thin.
What i see from my past experience, never expect others do the things that we hope they do for us.
If you keep having high hopes for that, we will only be dissapointed.
Instead, it is more worthy to help others without hoping for them to do the same.
Because when you do that, Allah will always give help in ways that we never imagine.
Just have faith, and you're usually never be dissapointed.
What we must do now, is stay together.
Build the greatest ukhwah.
As Islam is not only for one person.
But actually, its for every single person that ever walk on earth.
Love goes a long way when you're really sincere in it.
Do we care to share?
Night is so clear..
Its so cooling..
Its so dark..
But..
look up..
and you'll see the moon..
You'll see the stars..
But..sometimes its seems to be gone..
Though, its just that we can't see it..
Just because we don't see it,
its always there.
It always shed its light on us..
It always show the path for us to walk..
It never fret..
It never complains..
It never stop to help us..
It never stop to shine..
Although the light is not the moon's..
But still..
When it got its light from the sun..
It shares with us humans..
It shares with everyone on this earth..
Can we humans do that?.
Do we care about others until we are willing to share one of our precious things that we get..
Simple things in life
It's funny how we look at everything. We always have thoughts about everything that wee see, hear, or do. We see the sky above us. It's so amazing how the clouds move about. Even the rain can amaze anyone who knows how it is formed. These are some of the things that we see everyday. But its funny, sometimes we sigh at the sight of the black rainy clouds. But sometimes, we wished that the rain will just fall on our command.
We always hear the saying " you don't miss something until its gone". But we're only humans. We always forget the simple things in life that makes it so wonderful. We seldom cherish God, our family, our friends, our siblings... What will happen if one are gone... Where will we turn to when we need their help?
We are actors in a big stage directed by God. We have to accept that. All we can do is make every single word, thought, and actions count. Life is short. We might be healthy today. Being able to run or walking may be easy today. But can we be sure that tomorrow will be the same? We may be breathing air today, but what will happen if god suddenly stop our heart from beating? Who are we to go against God will.
Life may be easy for some. Big cars, big houses, lots and lots of money to spend. There's actually more to life than all that. We search for peace, love, companionship. Those things don't come easy if u asked me. I've lost some friends along my life. Some very good friends. But things don't go well in the middle...And it seems like everything stops there. So who says its easy to get a friend who can be there through thick and thin..
Although it has been hard to keep up with whats going on in life, I still believe. There's always a reason for everything that happen. Nothing occur accidentally. There's always something good that will follow. So don't stand back. Never stop living. And most importantly... Cherish what you have now... Live your life the best you can. And remember, no matter how bad or how low you fall, it will never be too late to stand up for yourself again. There's always hope if you search hard enough for it. Even if you lost everything, just remember that God is always with you.. And never give up on God...
Have hope...
