Renew Our Faith

{ Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 by Sadid }

Faith is definitely something that we can't see, but we believe in our hearts and we act accordingly through our senses for it.

Do you guys still remember what you guys ate last weekend? I bet there most of us forget about it already and you know what, we can actually see the food that we ate. But what about heaven, hell, angels, devils, sins and the list just goes on and on. Surely there is a tendency for us to forget about it right? So what can we do about it? Now, that is something nice to talk about. Discuss it with your friends, as you talk more about it, you'll remember more on it.

Please don't see this as a small matter. You know what, even the Prophet himself asked the sahabat to renew their faith [which we know 10 of them are guaranteed heaven by Allah], but still they are reminded to renew their faith. What about us? Who commits sins as a daily routine without noticing it. We seriously need to do something about this. So in this holy month of Ramadhan, I would like invite all to increase and renew our faith.

-May Allah guides us all in His path-
InsyaAllah

Learn from your mistakes

{ Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 by Sadid }

It is just human to make mistake, but repeating the mistake is just plain stupid.

Well, you know what, sometimes we commit mistakes by accident. we do need to feel wrong about it and always remember not to repeat it.

Within the last 3 days, I was caught driving fast. The policeman was giving out info on the summons, but then the situations change and I don't even notice it. The policeman was like "tengah panas-panas ni, awak nak tolong saya berapa?". I don't quite understand, so I show him my wallet. Then he was like asking for RM20, so I gave it to him as I was really panic at that time. Then he was like "jangan la tinggi-tinggi sangat [while I gave him the money] , ingat nak beli ayam ke? ". It was really a relieve to me to get away from the mess I've done, but then it got me thinking [after my friends told me], was I paying bribe to the policeman? I really felt terrible after that, seriously. But then, what can I do? So, now I know how the system works, hopefully that I won't do the same thing again. Damn that police.

So its fine when you do wrong things accidentally [hope so], but then we do need to remember not to do it again and always repent on the things we've done wrong.

-May Allah forgive me and anyone who do wrong things accidentally-
insyaAllah

Manage Your Time

{ Posted on Monday, August 17, 2009 by Sadid }

Time is a very terrible thing to waste.

I've got friends who just doesn't appreciate time like I do. So every time I set up a time for meeting or just time for us to hang around, I find it very difficult as I need to always push my schedule back to give room for my friends to wake up (if it's in the morning), pick up laundry (during the evening).

Well sometimes, these kinda situations just threw off my mood from doing anything. I know sometimes I have to be patient, but sometimes patience has it's limit (which some people are unaware of).

We do need to manage our time wisely, as the time flies, it will never come back for you. Especially for our preparation for the month of Ramadhan. We seriously don't want to waste our time doing non-sense things while we can really do "amal" as we never know that we might not see the next Ramadhan.

-May Allah grant the opportunity for us to be a better muslim this Ramadhan-
InsyaAllah

Take action, Make a change.

{ Posted on Friday, August 14, 2009 by Sadid }

I've seen lots of people these days, when they've got problems, they tend to whine about it. Complaints won't get you anywhere without action.

Recently, I've got a friend who has a problems with his time management. He keeps on complaining about the education system, about Malaysian lifestyle, but never take the action to solve the problems.

Well, we all have problems, we do need the time for us to see the problems clearly which is maybe by complaining. But after that, do take a few steps forward by thinking about the ways to handle it.

There are also people who chooses to leave it to God's will. What are you guys thinking? That action is supposed to be the last thing we do after we took action on something. We can't just leave everything to God without doing any action on something. It is just plain wrong.

So if you got problems, take action on it. There are a lots of things you can do to handle it. Get a friend involved or get a counsellor's advice. You'll get it through.

-May Allah guides us all in His path-
InsyaAllah..

Being a hypocrite?

{ Posted on Wednesday, August 12, 2009 by Sadid }

I don't know about you guys, but apparently I do see hypocrite in myself or do I?

When I'm with someone important or just maybe someone older or just around good people, I tend to be good, to act accordingly with the norms around me. But then, when I'm with my friends, I tend to be who I really am (I guess), like doing things that are just nonsense.

Well yesterday, I got the honour to eat breakfast with the "Pengarah Bahagian Pembangunan Modal Insan (JPA)". During the breakfast, I really tried to be polite, eat accordingly, say opinions on issues, basically the things that I just don't do with my friends. But then, when he leaves the place, I was like "It's over, FINALLY" and I rushed to eat my breakfast. And after that, It was a briefing gave by the MAS representative. There was a problem when the slides just don't go smoothly (because of the person who looks after the slides), then I was like "AHEM!!". That is just the way I behave. I don't know why, but it is really different from the breakfast that morning.

Am I being a hypocrite? Am I true to myself? Or Am I tried to be polite or courteous? Is it just me?

What do you guys think?
