Happily ever after? pfft. haha

We all remember the bedtime stories of our childhoods. The shoe fits Cinderella. The frog turns into a prince. Sleeping Beauty is awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time. And then they lived happily every after. Fairy tales. The stuff of dreams. The problem is, fairy tales don’t come true. It’s the other stories. The ones that begin with dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. It’s the nightmares that always seem to become reality. The person that invented the phrase “Happily ever after,” should have his ass kicked – so hard. Once upon a time. Happily ever after. The stories we tell are the stuff of dreams. Fairy tales don’t come true. Reality is much stormier. Much murkier. Much scarier. Reality. It’s so much more interesting than living happily ever after.

forgive and forget?

In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes. That is no matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions, you are going to make mistakes. You’re going to hurt people. You’re going to get hurt. And if you ever want to recover, there’s really only one thing you can say…

“I forgive you.”

Forgive and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled. Old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.

don't stand so close to me.

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want, is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other… it’s usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to. And once we’ve chosen those people… we tend to stick close by… no matter how much we hurt them and they hurt us. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But, sometimes that invasion of personal space… it can be exactly what you need.

Biggest day in my life.

Today, i become the citizen of the world. Today, i become a grown up.  Today i become accountable to someone other than myself and my parents. Accountable for more than my schoolmates. Today, i become accountable to the world. To the future,to all the possibilities that life has to offer. Starting today, my job is to show up while i am willing and ready, for what? I don't know. For anything. For everything. To take on life, to take on love. To take on the responsibility and possibility. Today my friends, our life's began. And i for one, can't wait.

You don't recognise the biggest day of your life. Not until you realise in the middle of it, the day you commit to something. the day you got heartbroken. the day you realise, there's not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. the perfect days.

Bersyukur ^^

Segala kecuakan sudah tamat. Hanya Allah sahaja yang tahu betapa cuaknya diri 2 minggu ni. Tak boleh tidur, resah semacam, sampai keluar ke mimpi. ya Allah, aku bersyukur kepadamu..tatkala diriku sering melakukan kesilapan dan dosa, engkau masih memberikan aku rezeki ya Allah..

Terima kasih ya Allah..

Mungkin aku sentiasa berada di atas, dan bila tiba2 berada di bawah, aku mulai tidak bersyukur.

Syukur? Apa tu syukur?

Perkataan syukur terbit dari kata 'syukran' yang bermaksud ucapan terima kasih. Dari segi pengertian syukur bermaksud sesuatu tindakan, ungkapan atau niat di hati sebagai tanda berterima kasih atas nikmat Tuhan kepada kita.


Apakah nikmat yang dimaksudkan dalam ayat tersebut? Sedar atau tidak, semua yang berlaku dalam kehidupan kita adalah nikmat. Nikmat sihat dan sakit, nikmat senang dan susah.. itu semua adalah nikmatNya yang tidak terhingga nilainya dan apakah kita masih tidak bersyukur?


Kadangkala kita lihat ada orang yang selesa dengan apa yang seadanya bagi mereka, tetapi ada juga kelompok yang seakan tidak pernah cukup akan nikmat yang dikurniakan kepada mereka. Dalam diri sendiri juga kadangkala terdetik masih tidak pernah berasa puas apa yang dimiliki.


Ada yang lekas sedar akan hal tersebut dan segera bertaubat, tetapi malang bagi mereka yang hanyut mengejar kenikmatan dunia yang tiada noktahnya. Takut nanti terlalu asyik dengan nikmat itu, boleh menimbulkan sifat ego seterusnya membawa kepada kekufuran.



Bagi aku, kaedah terbaik untuk kita mudah berasa syukur ialah selalu melihat orang yang berada di bawah kita, bukan di atas. Hal ini kerana, apabila kita melihat mereka yang taraf hidupnya di bawah kita, automatik kita akan teringat dengan apa yang sudah kita miliki.


Syukurnya aku kepada Allah dengan kedudukan aku sekarang, yang aku tak pernah bayangkan suatu masa dahulu. Perjalanan hidup individu tidak akan pernah sama, dan aku merasai fasa - fasa genting itu, dan sampai ke hari ini aku tak akan lupakan asal usul aku dan aku merasai fasa - fasa genting itu, dan sampai ke hari ini aku tak akan lupakan asal usul aku.

Senior aku pernah cakap,

"semua ini memang wujud dalam hati sanubari manusia. akan sentiasa ade rase ingin lebih daripada manusia dlm sesuatu perkara.
dengan menjadi lebih itu akan timbul rasa lega dan puas hati.
dan boleh jadi puas hati akan mendorong ke arah riak dan takabbur.
itulah yg dikatakan jika kita disuapkan dgn pangkat dan darjat serta sesuatu kejayaan yg sgt signifikan, boleh jadi itu sbg satu modal utk kita lebih jauh drpd apa yg dinginkan oleh-Nya.
namun, ketahuilah, apabila dihulurkan dgn sesuatu yg tidak mencapai keinginan kita, nescaya kita akan lebih berfikir ttg berbagai perkara.
contohnye kita akan rase betapa lemahnya diri kita.kerna segala-galanya akan jadi, sekiranye diizikan oleh-Nya.
selain itu, kita juga dpt melihat betapa adilnya Tuhan kita. Kita akan berfikir, sekiranye semua mengecapi sesuatu tahap yg sama, maka tidak nampak keunikan di situ. kita rase lebih bersyukur.

aku tak dpt nafikan, aku turut pernah merasa spt kau. teringin berada di atas, selalu, kalau boleh tak akan berada di bawah. tapi dalam proses ini, kita akan lebih belajar drpd semua ini.insyaAllah.''-


cuba bayangkan diri kita berada dalam penjara dan diseksa tiap hari, apa benda yang paling teruk yang boleh kena pada kita?

Mati? Tidak sama sekali. Dengan mati kita akan kembali kepada pencipta kita , dengan mati segala keseksaan di dalam penjara itu akan berhenti. Dengan bekalan dan persediaan yang cukup kita boleh mati dengan tenang. Kalau tak memang sampai bila-bila kita akan terseksa.

see?

'the worst thing could be the best thing'.

mari kita sama-sama bersyukur dengan apa yang ada. insyaAllah

SORRY IS NOT HARD ^^

During the pre-Islamic days of ignorance, the one who was treacherous, proud, and dishonest was feared and considered strong.
But revelation through the Qur’an and Sunnah teach us otherwise. The Prophet (sal Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) didn’t just win battles, but hearts as well.

He was known for his gentle nature and kindness, even to the ignorant and ill-mannered. People took their shahadah and entered Islam just by experiencing his humble, gracious, honest, and courteous mannerism .

Unfortunately, with the passage of time many Muslims have forgotten to practice the manners taught by our religion.
We have forgotten the teachings of Quran and hadith and instead let our egos rule us.

Syaitan, which is our greatest enemy will play all the tricks to stop you from saying sorry. You might experience the following thought pattern: “Oh come on! You can’t apologise. It will be so embarrassing. Actually, you didn’t do anything wrong really, it’s not such a big deal. Everyone makes mistakes, it was so and so’s fault in the first place.”

Embarrassed that you spoiled a treasured relationship, your ego may tell you to run the other way and not face the situation.

But you shouldn’t ignore the situation.

We can’t have healthy relationships if we don’t learn how to handle mishaps and humbly ask for forgiveness.

These are some tips of how to say sorry :)
1. If you have wronged or oppressed the person, you should turn to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala to ask for forgiveness.


“Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous. Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men, for Allah loves those who do good.” (3:133-134)


2. Push aside your ego; we have to remove any pride in order to humble ourselves to genuinely apologise. This shows that you value your relationship. Even if you don’t think you’re in the wrong, apologize and be kind for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.

3. Be quick to apologise.
“It is not lawful for a Muslim to desert (stop talking to) his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning to the other way when they meet, the better of the two is one who is the first to greet the other.” [Bukhari]


4. Admit to your shortcomings and take responsibility. Don’t sound insincere or cold. Muttering “I apologise” or a stern “sorry…” under your breath isn’t very genuine; be sincere and mean what you say – ‘I’m so sorry, [insert person’s name]’ sounds better, doesn’t it?

5. If the situation calls for it, talk it out and explain what happened. Try to restore their trust and confidence in you.

6. Show you care by asking the other person what could be done to amend it.

7. Learn a lesson from this incident. Set your morals and correct your behaviour. Our interactions with people are also a part of our deen, and our character will weigh heavily on the Day of Judgement. It is reported that Muadh ibn Jabal said, “The last advice the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave me when I put my foot in the stirrup was that he said, ‘Make your character good for the people, Muadh ibn Jabal!’”

“Fear Allah wherever you may be; follow up an evil deed with a good one which will wipe (the former) out , and behave good-naturedly towards people.” [At-Tirmidhi]

Taking responsibility for our wrongdoings and/or mistakes is a sign of strength, humility, and wisdom – and at the end of the day, it’s just the basics of good manners, which are what every Productive Muslim should strive for. ^^
