Alternate Ego

We do sometimes find ourselves bragging about others fault & overlook who we are in others mind. Allah gave us the luxury to live the life we chose to live for & with that comes hardships & benefits which we always take for granted just because we felt we are right & that is what we called EGO. What we eat is what we are. There is always less fortunate out there who wish they had what we have but for some being less fortunate is a bless in disguise if an understanding pops up in their mind along with the knowledge they had.

Consuming with ego of being over the top makes a person vulnerable to accept hardships & for them the only way to get rid of it is just by forgetting about it or killed the root to make it go away. But keep in mind you may forget about it but in the future it may haunts you back because that is your weakness & Allah is the most righteous in testing you with these hardships over and over again until you overcome them with a smile. The Buddhists called it 'karma' but for Islam, it just a way of Allah to test us until we fully  understand it so that it may create a feel of gratefulness in our heart. You maybe beautiful, rich or even clever with great job but they came with greater responsibilities & baggage for you to understand why you get it & not for you to brag about it with a feeling of being better than others or even worst treat others like a swarming flies. Treat others the way you would like others to treat you.

Modesty or shame is a lifestyle Islam taught its Believer to have because balance makes our life easier & whenever hardships come along we can definitely deal them with ease as in Chinese philosophy; there are Ying & Yang.

Abu Mas’ud ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amr al-Ansari al-Badri, radiyallahu ‘anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, said:
“Among the things that people have found from the words of the previous prophets was: ‘If you feel no shame(modesty), then do as you wish.’”

[Al-Bukhari]

Do not feel sorry for the people in Palestine, Syria & Egypt for their hardships but feel sorry to ourselves because Allah loves them more by giving them greater hardships resulting in growth of belief than we had as living in a luxury makes us forget who we should ask for help most. What we as Muslim can do is by helping them to win so that we also will share why & what is important being a Muslim directly from them as they are the chosen one to help us understand. Here are some emergency calls for us to used and to be remembered by Allah, cheerio!

Destiny's child

"Stop making sense out of me!, I am destined to be like this"

Are you playing God? Sometimes it is great keep blaming on others for your own mistakes or flaws just to feel better but is it the right way to just accept whatever comes our way without trying or finding the answer in this vast society?

On this world stage we are the actor & actress destined to choose our own way and lifestyle, only the ending is different comply to the creation of heaven & hell. As muslim we are taught to find the answer & obtain knowledge because every knowledge makes us closer to the Creator. That is faith!

"For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah. Verily! Allah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah). But when Allah wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector." (13:11)

Angels are protecting us 24/7 and only by His command we will take a stumble & that is what we know as burden or hardship but please put the smile back on your joker face as it doesn't last long as long we prove our faith on Him by putting it on Him.

"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error..."(1:286)

So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allah's worship (i.e. stand up for prayer). And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations.(94:5-8)

Humans are born as the chosen one or as a champion and this is written within us even before we are born as a mutual trust or agreement to Allah to find the answer to all our hardships and the right lifestyle for the destined ending.

Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be mentioned? Verily, We have created man from Nutfah drops of mixed semen (discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer, seer. Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.

Be grateful after trying is the best way afterall as Rasulullah SAW once said,"Action is depends upon our intention".(Hadith 1 An Nawawi)

Always renew our intention to ensure we are in the right path & pray for a good ending in faith towards Him.

The Flowery Day

Got a chance to see these beautiful creatures after so long living in the city during Putrajaya Floria 13. This time the theme was orchid. Sorry for this short post but please do enjoy the photos taken during the event.
"He has created the heavens (skies) without any pillars, that you see and has set on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with you. And He has scattered therein moving (living) creatures of all kinds. And We send down water (rain) from the sky, and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein" (31:10)
Isn't it osem?
