Life's adventure~~

Assalamua'laikum

Ever seen baby turtles that has just hatched. I was lucky to see it once about a year and a half ago.



It walked slowly reaching its destination along with all its brothers and sisters. Each find its own path to walk to and never worrying if they stumble or knock into each other. Whenever they stumble, they got up again and keep walking without hesitation.
They were so small and vulnerable.
Yet they are determined.

As they reach the shore, the water pushed it further away but it kept getting up and walk towards the water. Some was brought back to the sand as another wave comes.

Even when it is already inside the water, more danger will come. Not all will survive. But some will come back to the same beach to continue the cycle.


Its true that it is their nature to do all of that. They don't have brains. So they won't be able to make the choice.

Sometimes I think that I have less spirit to move on than those baby turtles. Even though I have brains and can make the choices I want, I'm scared of what may come ahead.

I hope that one day I'll be able to face the future with more willpower and strength. Besides, life is unpredictable. We can only work hard, pray and hope for the best. And hopefully I'll make more friends along the way to keep me motivated. That's what friends are for. We work together to achieve the goals and mission that we have.

Assalamua'laikum brothers and sisters

I've just watched a nice video in youtube. and I realized, this is actually whats happening in most of the programs that I've joined so far. The saddest thing is when the program that I joined that brings Allah, i saw a lot of this happening.

Okay, so its about complaining. Ever seen someone who keeps finding faults in other people's effort and work while they themselves rest on their nice comfy chairs?

Then, I joined another program. This time, it was a family day. And I wasn't the committee but I came just to help out wherever I could. When I come to the place where they were supposed to do like an entrance for a fair, no one was doing anything. And no one was giving the order or direction. Everyone just sat there chatting. I don't blame them, as they don't know what to do and they have been waiting there for quite some time. So i asked. What was the idea that they want to do. They say they donno. Even the person in charge donno how to do it and they were waiting for some ideas from someone else. So a friend of mine came up and gave her idea. Since no one else have a better idea, and we have the things needed, and it was getting late, we go with the idea given. They help out and we finished it. I thought everything was okay until my friend giving the idea come with a sad face. She said, why don't we stop doing it and take it down. I was quite shocked. I mean, we did it almost like an hour and she wants us to stop and take it down. Its ridiculous. Then I asked and she said that her friend has been complaining about it. I search for the person and I can see the person with some more people there siting nicely. You know, chatting. And I was shocked as she didn't mentioned anything to us. An now she's complaining bout it behind our back. And she doesn't even say anything when we were asking her for suggestion before w e start making it.God, I was mad at that time.

There's been a lot of other occurrences like this.

Too many people complaining. You did it badly. You didn't manage you event properly. Everything is messed up. Its not organized.

HELLO!!!
I'm working alone here. Can't you see. I sleep late doing things that were supposed to be done earlier by someone else and there you are, COMPLAINING 24/7.

Here's a suggestion, Instead of complaining about other people's work, why don't you help out. Organizing program is not a one man show. Even if you are not a committee, if you see something and you think that you can make it better, help out. It doesn't hurt to lend a hand or give out ideas. The muslim committee is supposed to be the best. They are supposed to be an example for others. The success of an event is portrays how good we work together. Not how many people complaining.


So please my brothers and sisters. If you care and you know your responsibility as a muslim, do it the best you can. Put your best effort and stop complaining please. Please don't talk bad about your friends effort if you didn't help out in the beginning. It will only hurt their feelings and nothing good will come out of it. You will only make them mad, or make them feel worthless or even make them give up.

Think of it like this, you have this beautiful tree that you love and you trim yourselves. You water it, you put all your effort in it, then someone came to your house, and said that the tree is the ugliest thing they have ever seen. Its has not been trimmed symmetrically, its too short or its too tall. The leaves are dry as if no one had water them for weeks while in fact you have just water them that morning.

Think about it. TOGETHER we are strong. And the Muslims are supposed to be the strongest ummah ever if we follow the teaching of our religion.

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.
