Dan pada sisi Allah-lah kunci-kunci semua yang ghaib; tidak ada yang mengetahuinya kecuali Dia sendiri, dan Dia mengetahui apa yang di daratan dan di lautan, dan tiada sehelai daun pun yang gugur melainkan Dia mengetahuinya (pula), dan tidak jatuh sebutir biji-pun dalam kegelapan bumi, dan tidak sesuatu yang basah atau yang kering, melainkan tertulis dalam kitab yang nyata (Lauh Mahfudz)I feel this verse is really comforting
Knowing that Allah knows every single thing in this world, from the smallest to the biggest
Just make me realize that our life is in His hand
And, if we let Him hold our destiny,
We would be fine
Totally fine
That doesn't mean that we don't need to put effort and let Him decide
No. It just means that we need to put our best efforts
and let the RESULTS in His hand
and that's the concept of: TAWAKKAL :)
Have you ever wondered about your future?
How is it like?
What would it be?
I always wonder this since I was small.
And you know,
I once wonder, "if only I have doraemon and can have a look to my future, it must be good."

Then, as I grow up,
I realized, if only we know what future holds for us,
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of 'doa'
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of trying and keep trying
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of be the servant of Allah
We wouldn't feel the sweetness of tawakkal
And that's the wisdom of Allah
He wants us to experience this life
He wants us to feel the pain
He wants us to kneel down and pray to Him
Because, He loves us and He misses us.
He wants to hear our prayer.
I know, it's never easy to really appreciate all the painful experiences
It's never easy to really understand what's going on in our life
It's never easy to get up when you feel that you are at the bottom
It's never easy to keep trying when you are afraid of falling
It's never easy, dear.
Never.
And you know, to understand this,
Sometimes, we learn it in a hard way
Like my housemate said, "buat kita terduduk"
Yup, really.
It makes us to realise that,
Our life wouldn't be as easy as we plan it to be.
And it wouldn't be as smooth as what we plan it to be
But, our definition of ease and smooth is not what it truly is.
I mean, the ease and smooth in our eyes is not the same with His wisdom.
He teaches us first through experience
And throughout the learning process,
He is actually guides us
But, sometimes we just don't want to see it with our heart
Realizing this,
I always feel the wisdom in this prayer,
and may Allah always make me a person who always appreciate this 'doa'
"Ya Allah, kurniakanlah kami lisan yang lembut basah mengingati dan menyebut namaMu, hati yang penuh segar mensyukuri nikmatMu, serta badan yang ringan menyempurnakan ketaatan kepada perintahMu. Ya Allah, kurniakanlah kami iman yang sempurna, hati yang khusyu', ilmu yang berguna, keyakinan yang benar-benar mantap, Ya Allah, kurniakanlah kami, Din, cara hidup yang jitu dan unggul, selamat dari dari segala mala petaka.
Kami mohon Ya Allah, kecukupan yang tidak sampai kami terpaksa meminta jasa orang lain. Berikanlah kami Ya Allah iman yang sebenarnya hingga kami tidak lagi gentar atau mengharapkan orang lain selain dari Engkau sendiri, atau menyembah selain dari Engkau sendiri. Kembangkanlah lembayung rahmat-Mu kepada kami, keluarga kami, anak-anak kami serta sesiapa sahaja yang bersama-sama kami.
Jangan Ya Allah, Engkau biarkan nasib kami ditentukan oleh diri kami sendiri; walaupun sekadar sekelip mata atau sekadar masa yang lebih pendek daripada itu.
Wahai Tuhan yang paling mudah dan cepat memperkenankan, minta perkenankanlah. "
"Jangan Ya Allah, Engkau biarkan nasib kami ditentukan oleh diri kami sendiri; walaupun sekadar sekelip mata atau sekadar masa yang lebih pendek daripada itu."
favourite part of the doa.
This Ramadhan,
let us try to appreciate our life and try to appreciate the doa :)
