LEARNT 8 THINGS




One time a scholar asked one of his students, "You have spent a long time with me, what have you learned?
He said I learned eight things:

First, I looked to the creation. Everyone has a loved one. When he goes to the grave, he leaves his loved one. Therefore, I made my loved one my good deeds; that way, they will be with me in the grave.

Second, I looked to the verse, 'But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,' and, therefore, I struggled against my desires so I could stay obeying Allah.

Third, I saw that if anyone has something with him that is worth something, he will protect it. Then I thought about the verse, 'That which you have is wasted away; and that which is with Allah remains,' therefore, everything worth something with me I devoted to Him so it would be with Him for me.

Fourth, I saw the people seeking wealth, honor and positions and it was not worth anything to me. Then I thought about Allah's words, 'Lo, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most aware of Allah,' so I did my best to become aware of Allah in order to nobility in his sight.

Fifth, I saw the people being jealous towards each other and I looked at the verse, 'We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world,' so I left jealousy.

Sixth, I saw the people having enmity and I thought about the verse, 'Lo, the devil is an enemy for you, so take him as an enemy,' so I left enmity and I took the Satan as my only enemy.

Seventh, I saw them debasing themselves in search of sustenance and I thought about the verse, 'And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof depends on Allah,' so I kept myself busy with my responsibilities toward Him and I left my property with Him.

Eighth, I found them relying on their business, buildings and health and I thought about the verse, 'And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him,' therefore, I put my trust only on Allah.

2020- The Pandemic Year

As we are approaching the end of the year 2020, I find my heart starts to fill with rage and fire again. I'm hurt and angry (probably at God again). I know we all have a hard time this year but we are not exactly in the same boat. As for me, I saw 2020 as a hope, that after everything I went through in 2019, 2020 is going to be fine. At least, that's what I've been telling myself. And now we are already in December, I think I've lied to myself enough. So, let's summarize what happened in the year 2020. First of all, I had a sleep disorder. My sleep problem was terrible and it all started after I came back to Germany. Sometimes, I was getting like 3 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. This disaster continued on for almost 8 to 9 months. However, this sleep disorder helped me a lot while getting through Ramadhan. So, for the first time since I arrived in Germany, I can follow another version of the prayer calendar, which I believe is more nature convincing. Oh yes, me...

Biar Aku Sahaja

“Boleh tolong aku siket tak?” “Apa dia?” Meski sejak tadi berdiam diri, mulut terkunci sepi, matanya dari tadi menatap susuk tubuh yang duduk di hadapannya. “Berhenti pandang aku macam tu. Berhenti tengok aku macam aku cedera parah. Berhenti tengok aku macam aku orang yang kau kena lindung. Aku ok. Jangan risau.” Dia faham pandangan Ijad. Lagi lagi lepas Ijad nampak dia nangis habis tadi dalam bilik. Dan Ijad cuma tercegat berdiri kat situ dengan pandangan yang sama tanpa sepatah kata. Dia tahu Ijad tak perlu tanya apa-apa, Ijad tahu semua. “Tolonglah berhenti. Kau cuma buat hati aku lagi luluh.” Ijad dengan perlahan membawa pandangan ke luar tingkap. Angin berderu masuk membawa angin  sejuk yang sekali lagi menambah pedih di hulu hatinya. Terasa ingin menangis lagi sekali. “Kau tahu Nas apa buat aku rasa tak guna sekarang?”  Ijad bersuara rendah seolah-olah bercakap dengan diri sendiri. Dia mendiamkan diri. Perlahan tangannya memgang dadanya. Sak...
