Assalamualaikum w.b.t
Honestly, I think that time are getting faster everyday, and there's so many things to do, as I'm getting older, with bigger responsiblities and lots of new things to discover... But still, in this time chase, I realise that I could die any moment when Allah says it's time to return. This is reality and we should all accept this, but then I don't know how ashamed I would be, returning with a chest with hole so big out of the real faith. As I'm getting busier, I'm afraid that I let go of something more important. I'm afraid that my deen is, truthfully so low class, and all that dreams of being with my beloved ones in heaven, and ultimately meeting our Creator, would be left as just dreams..
I realise that I have to do something to find balance. When I choose to study, to work, to eat, to do every small thing in this world for Allah, then I should act like it. I should never forget the big things. Yet, I'm grateful that I'm living in this environment, when there's people to remind me, when there are great books and informational radio segments which helps relight my heart whenever I forget. But still I should not take things for granted, and I should always try harder. Allah is there. But if I don't remember Him, then I wouldn't feel that He is indeed very near.
Yes, I would choose not to never give up, living this life, but I hope that Allah would keep my heart away from being a slave in this world, for money, for pride, for human's love. But rather, I choose to study for Allah and for the benefits of Ummah.. When I said ummah, then mama, papa, u don't have to worry, as ummah includes you, our whole family and relatives, friends, the whole society, and of course our brothers and sisters who share the same iman. :)
And that is the secret of this world. If you remove love of dunya from your heart, the dunya is yours for the taking. You can have the dunya because it’s in your hand and not in your heart.
Sh. Hamza Yusuf
This world is like a shadow: run after it and you will never be able to catch it; turn your back against it and it has no choice but to follow you.
Ibn al-Qayyim
Our existence only concens three things: Allah swt, you and the grave. All other things are minute details. High school, college, and life in general are passing moments. The most important thing for you is to ALWAYS BE CONNECTED to Allah swt. Don’t worry about the outcomes; they are not in your hands. So do not get caught up in things that are fleeting. You must always remember Allah swt because there is so much nonsense in this dunya to get caught up in. Just keep making du’a for safety and success because in the end all of our lives will seem like one useless second that has passed by. So don’t worry; always ask Allah swt to pick and choose for you. Always pray Istikharah for guidance and clarity. Don’t do or say anything that will lower you. Always speak the truth, but be careful, it must be the right time. Leave some portion of the night for du’a and seeking divine assistance. Be consistent and doors will be opened for you. Do not have ANYTHING in your heart against anyone and people will respect you. Always smile, but in a dignified way. Always help others, as long as it does not hurt you. Your life is your capitol, so spend it wisely. Remember that you are now where it is the best time and place for you to be because Allah swt has planned it this way. May Allah swt always accept our du’as and give us what is best for us. Ameen.
