Sabar dengan kesabaran yang baik

Selalu sangat kita dengar, apabila datang ujian sesungguhnya Allah sayang pada kita. Selalu juga dalam usrah, kita diajar untuk bersabar dengan segala macam ujian. Boleh jadi ujian kesenangan ataupun ujian kepayahan. Apa yang pasti, sabar itu adalah salah satu sifat seorang Muslim yang telah Allah jelaskan dalam al-Quran. Bukan satu dua, tapi lebih dari itu!

"Sabar, sabarlah wahai hati."

Sabar itu, jika kita betul-betul amalkan, nescaya setiap musibah atau ujian yang melanda kita pasti redha dan rasa bahagia. Tidak akan ada rasa sedih, tidak akan ada rasa gelisah atau apa sahaja yang negatif. Tapi, benarlah kata orang.

"Easier said than done!"

Lebih senang belajar teori sabar daripada beramal dengannya. Ini sama saja dengan ilmu-ilmu yang lain. Untuk entri ni, tidak terlintas langsung dalam kepala saya untuk menjelaskan atau menulis tentang kesabaran. Sekadar meluahkan apa yang tersirat dihati.

Allah benar-benar menyayangi hamba-hambaNya. I have asked from Him million times, in my prayer to be awarded with the perfect sabr. I asked from Him for strength and the best training for the real da'awah, and He granted my wishes! Alhamdulillah, wa syukrulillah!

I never thought that He would answer my prayer like this. In the beginning, I cried and I always thought that I had enough of these! I had enough of all the hardships and challenges in life. But, one day I realised that He is answering my prayer. My wishes have been granted! Can you imagine, my Lord have answered my prayer!! How lucky am I, yet I never realized that until I truly learnt the meaning of sabr (from usrah of course). It may come in many forms, sometimes in the form that you have least expected. That was what happened to me, alhamdulillah.

I used to feel really down... down... down... and depressed! But later I felt really bad, so helpless and yet He is always here with me. Giving me strength that I never thought I will have. The power to stop my tears from flowing, and the strong will to make all the troubles disappear! Disappear? Hmm... Yeay, sort of. He made me forgot the troubles and lifted the heavy burden on my shoulder. (this sounds like direct translation from malay.. hee hee..;P)

There were a lot of akhowat, who keep reminding us to be patient with all the tests. And the best of da'ie is the one who can hide all her misery and still be able to smile for the world! How I wish I could be like her, standing strong and never give up.

As I mentioned before, I am not a good writer and this blog is just for my personal expressions of life. You may not get anything out of this entry, but at least now you know that ALLAH IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU!

As He is always with me, right here right now!

You Are Never Alone

Zain Bhika

Sometimes, when the world's not on your side
You don't know where to run to
You don't know where to hide.

You gaze, at the stars in the sky
At the mountains so high
Through the tears in your eyes.

Looking for a reason,
to replace what is gone.
Just remember, remember
That you are never alone.

You are never alone (you are never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.
You are never alone (you are never alone)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.

So now as you long for your past
Prepare for your future
But knowing nothings going to last
You see this life is but a road
A straight and narrow path
To our final abode

So travel well O Muslim
And Paradise will be your home
And always remember
That you are never alone.

You are never alone (you are never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.
You are never alone (Allah is there)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.

You are never alone (you are never never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.
You are never alone (you are never alone)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.

Pintaku padaMu ya Allah Rabbul 'Izzati,
Kurniailah padaku dan akhowati dengan kesabaran yang sempurna,
Sehingga kami mampu tersenyum dan bahagia dengan ujianMu.
Pintaku padaMu ya Rahman ya Rahim,
Agar kami tidak lupa mengingatiMu dalam setiap ujianMu,
Sehingga yang keluar dari bibir kami hanyalah zikrullah.
Pintaku wahai Allah yang Ahad,
Supaya aku dan akhowati mampu rasa bahagia dengan ujianMu,
Dan terselindung segala duka dari masyarakat da'awah kami.
Aku pohon dan aku meminta hanya kepadaMu ya Allah,
Jadikanlah ujianMu penguat kami di jalan da'awah,
Agar kami tidak goyah dan tidak futur,
Agar kami terus teguh dan tsabat dalam perjuangan,
Agar kami terus menerus ingin syahid di jalanMu.
Perkenankanlah ya Allah, Pemilik seluruh alam.

"Maka bersabarlah (wahai Muhammad) dengan kesabaran yang baik" (al-Ma'arij: 5)
