Between you and Allah

Bismillah
Assalamualaikum wmt wbt pembaca blog dakwah circle yang dikasihi sekalian. Semoga hari-hari dalam kehidupan seharian kita dibawah lindungan rahmat dan keredhaan Allah. Ameeeen~

Saya masih teringat satu hadis mengenai hak seorang muslim terhadap seorang muslim dimana salah satunya ialah "apabila beliau meminta nasihatmu hendaklah engkau menasihatinya." 

Dan..

Pernah sekali saya meminta nasihat daripada seorang akak yang saya kenali namun saya tidak pernah berjumpa dengannya. Sehingga sekarang saya masih ingat nasihatnya dan masih berbekas di hati.

"If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you – but you be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight – but you build anyway. If you find happiness, they may be jealous – but you be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow – but you do good anyway.You see.. in the final analysis, 

it is between you and Allah – it was never between you and them anyway." 

(adapted from mother teresa's poem)

Sometimes we think too much about what other people think of us, how they see us. We try hard to fit ourselves into the society, we struggle to be accepted by other people, we fake ourselves just to follow the trend, we ignore our innerself just because we don't want to be strange. We are afraid to be different. At the end of the day, we are busy trying to please other people and not Him.

"We must move from asking God to take care of the things that are breaking our hearts, to praying about the things that are breaking His heart."

Maka, mari kita sama-sama muhasabah dan refleksi diri :)
