:: SENDIRI ITU TERAPI ::

Allahumma solli a3la Muhammad.

Siapa kata sendiri itu tidak bahagia? Tidak menggembirakan? Zahirnya, orang mungkin nampak seseorang yang bersendirian itu menyedihkan kerana kekosongan tanpa ditemani. Namun, pada hakikatnya mereka yang bersendiri itu lebih bahagia sebenarnya.

Bila sendiri, kita mempunyai banyak ruang untuk muhasabah diri. Biarpun sendiri, kita tetap takkan berada dalam relung kesunyian. Kerana dengan bersendiri, kita mampu merasai kehadiranNya di sisi kita. SubhanaAllah! Mampu untuk merasa redup kasihNya yang lagi menenangkan.

Sendiri, mengajar kita untuk memperbaiki diri sendiri tanpa gangguan dan halangan daripada mereka-mereka.

Sendiri itu terapi. Terapi untuk menguatkan iman. Terapi untuk perbaiki hubungan dengan Sang Pencipta. Terapi untuk memperbaiki habluminnanas (hubungan sesama manusia). Terapi untuk membetulkan setiap yang sumbang.

Kerana, dengan bersendiri, seseorang mampu untuk berfikir dengan rasional tentang segala hal duniawi mahupun ukhrawi. Mampu membuatkan seseorang mencari kembali dirinya yang telah hilang. Mampu menilai antara kaca dan permata. Mampu membezakan antara hitam dan putih.

Sendiri itu juga terapi untuk menghapuskan parut-parut dosa yang dilakukan. Apa gunanya berteman seandainya diulit dengan cengkaman dosa? Tentulah hati takkan tenang apabila dosa-dosa tersebut menghantui. Astargfirullahalazim...

Sesungguhnya, sendiri itu terapi yang indah. Terlalu indah bagi mereka yang benar-benar memahami istilah sendiri. Allah SWT ciptakan sendiri itu untuk mengembalikan semula hambaNya yang 'hilang'. Dia biarkan kamu yakni insan yang terpilih untuk bersendiri hanya semata-mata inginkan kamu kembali ke jalanNya. Bukan untuk menghukum kamu. Sebaliknya, untuk menyatakan kasih sayangNya kepada hamba-hambaNya.

Jadi, janganlah bersedih apabila sendiri. Bersangka baiklah dengan Allah. 

Allah SWT berfirman:

"Aku akan bersama (mengikut) sangkaan hamba-hambaKu. Maka hendaklah kamu bersangka dengan apa yang kamu inginkan" (Hadis Qudsi Riwayat At-Thabrani)

Percayalah, setiap keadaan atau peristiwa itu mempunyai hikmah yang kadangkala dapat kita fikir sendiri (namun kadangkala hikmah itu tidak dapat difikir oleh kita manusia biasa). Ingat, Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang terbaik untuk kita.

"...boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu sedangkan ia baik untukmu dan boleh jadi kamu menyukai sesuatu sedangkan ia buruk untukmu. Allah mengetahui sedangkan kamu tidak tahu."
(Surah al-Baqarah, ayat 216)

Biarlah kita buruk dan hina pada pandangan manusia, namun cantik dan suci pada pandangan Allah SWT :)

Wallahua3lam...

:: WE RISE FROM OUR PAST ::

Bismillahirrahmanirraheem.

Alhamdulillah, we get to live to see another day in this beautiful yet harmonious world. Lets make du'a and seek repentance. One way the heart and mind will be calm and be peaceful.

Throughout our life, there will always be a horrid dream that probably has come true in our life. Let's face it, you don't want to remember it right? now lets all just try to forget all the terrible things from the past that happened to us, whether it is from our childhood, school, college, university or from now, the beginning and the present of our adulthood.

How to forget the past? Just focus on the future and the present. Enjoy all the things that is in front of you, whether you like it or not, still you have to go through it. That's what we called life. Everyone has been given the chance of one life. To have another life mean that we are so lucky He still gives us the chance and hope to make it a better one.

"People change as time flies, but the memory may remain". - Anonymous

We grow so fast that we didn't flashback at what we do few years back, it may seem that we don't want the memories to haunt us again but there still a good side to this. There is still bits of pieces that we can take from our past memories like experience and momentum. These two would be considered as the main power to our survival, without these two, we may never get back up from falling.

Experience - Knowledge that we gained from action of our past, which will remind us of what should we do correctly the next time if certain situation occurs.

Momentum - Once we fall, our momentum might decline really bad, probably really down that you think you don't have the strength to get back up and all hopes may seemed lost. Nevertheless, be remembered! you still have the chances to rise and set your momentum straight again by gather all your confidence, mental strength and physical strength. (Pray to Him, set your intention (niat) straight and may He guide you to the correct path).

Let us rise and take all the distances memories into experience that we may cherish. Let us ponder into the future, once we rise from the ashes, greater things will come to us for those who are willing to take the risk. Always have in mind that Allah is very near to us, just raise your hand and InsyaAllah, He will help you no matter how big the obstacle is. He will show you the way and maybe the easiest way, but it is up to you to walk and work you way through it.

There is no reward if there is no effort.

Forget all the people around you who want to put you down, they wanna see us fallback. They do this because you are one further step away from victory. Them? just a friction between you and victory/ultimate prize.

If we ever lost into the distance, lets remember Him, Allah SWT. He will guide you back to the right path, if you wanted to. Your path of life is your own choice, but the obstacle may vary. Don't let you heart be astray. He has given you so many, yet in your heart there is ignorance?.

Without Him, we may never rise from our fall, He aid us in so many ways that you couldn't thank Him enough.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
(Maya Angelou, And Still I Rise?)

 Let your heart and minds speaks for itself, have you grown up yet?
