WANT A PERFECT LIFE??


Assalamualaikum,


In life it is indeed not easy to have a perfect life, but It doesn’t mean we cannot have a perfect life.

All we need to do is make some changes in our life.

I’ve once heard a quote by an anonymous-“everyone think about changing the world, but no one think about changing himself”

I always recall myself saying, if only my life was like this, if only people could be more patient, if only people can give and take, if only people can tolerate a little, if only the politician weren’t fighting against each other, if only studying is more easier than I thought it would be, and many many more….

But then it struck me there’s no use nagging about all the things we are not satisfied about, like what an anonymous said “STOP being upset daily hoping for life and people around you to change, be at ease no matter what happen!”

So I decide to stop complaining about life, I tried to be patient all the time, but sometimes it makes me angrier and angrier.

And then one day…

My dad gave me one extraordinary book called AYYUHAL WALAD-by IMAM GHAZALI..

I started reading that book and I really found it fascinating!

There is this one part that totally changes my whole life, its about

IMAM GHAZALI’s 8 most important ADVICE (I’ll just summarize it)

1)  Only good deeds follow us till death

2)  Fight desire so that it obeys Allah

3)  Rely only to Allah because it’s the best(pergantungan kepada Allah adalah yang terbaik)

4)  The best among you is the one who fears Allah most

5)  Don’t be jealous and don’t backbite others

6)  Your only enemy is syaitan

7)  Always remember Allah is the One who gives us sustenance (rezeki)

8)  Always believe in Allah because Allah gives us accordance to the will of Allah.
(Allah beri sesuatu sesuai dengan kehendak kita)

After going through all the 8 advice, i realize that nothing will make us happier than having a strong faith in Allah. And when I practice it, I could feel that it slowly leads me to THE PERFECT LIFE.=)

Alhamdulillah!

And that what we call EXTRAORDINARY!

WONDERFULLNESS!!!

one fine morning, in a beautiful house by the hill....           "                                                                              
"that morning while grandpa was beautifully reciting quranic verses, amar who was sleeping woke up suddenly as he heard his grandpa voice reciting quran..he really loves to hear people reciting quran..for him it is so breathtaking..

amar is a 9 years old boy who lives with his grandpa in a small yet beautiful house by the hill since he was born..since he was a baby he really loves to hear his grandpa reciting quran...
there was one night when it rains heavily and theres thunder everywhere, amar was so frirgtened and scared and he really can't sleep, but once his grandpa came by his side and resites quran to him, he eventually felt safe and starts smiling and falls asleep slowly..but there was something that confuses amar...

so that morning amar sat beside his grandpa and patiently listens to his grandpas recitation..and the after his grandpa has finished he asks him the question that has been plaing in his mind these days..

"grandpa i don't really understand, why do we recite quran?i know we'll get reward from Allah if we do..but what else do we get? i mean as for me, i don't even understand the meaning of the words i'm reciting but i feel something when i recite quran..i feel safe, i got this peace of mind..but i don't really understand why..why grandpa??why?"ask amar eagerly.

and his grandpa smiles and answers patiently.."i see..i see...my dear boy..now let me give u some tasks first then i'll answer your questions okay?"


"anything you grandpa"said amar


grandpa took a basket full of coal near the chimney and gave it to amar while saying  "now boy, empty this basket and then go up the hill and fill this basket with water until its full and bring it back here..can you my dear?"


then amar who was kind of confused asks "but grandpa, i need a pail to fill water in it so that it will not spill.."


"i know my dear but will you do as i say??"


"okay grandpa"said amar obidiently.


and amar went to the pond and filled the basket with water and came down to his grandpa..unfortunately, when he arrived home, the basket was already empty as the water had spilled through the small holes around the basket..so, he went to the hill and to fill the basket with water..and this time he ran home to make sure the basket is not empty when he came home..but, unfortunately it was empty again..so he went up again to do the same thing and this time he ran faster than before but still when he arrive home the basket was empty...

so amar told his grandpa "grandpa, i'm so sorry i went to the pond three times to fill the basket with water but still i couldn't."said amar who was already confused.

while calmly smiling his grandpa said"come here my child, now, look properly into the basket, do you see any difference?"

after looking at the basket for a while, amar suddenly realize something, he realized that the basket that were very dirty inside because of the coal is now very very clean.

"so now you see my child, eventhough you don't understand quran, when you recite quran it cleanses you inside. so that you could slowly become a better person. it cleanses your innerself so that you become stronger, it cleanses your heart and mind so that you always feel calm deep down and slowly you can learn the meaning of the verses and understand quran so that you get more benefit when you understand."continued grandpa.

then amar who was very amazed said "waaa, grandpa i never thought of this before, from this day onwards i want to recite quran daily and slowly try to understand quran."

"now, that my child, alhamdulillah" grandpa respond while smiling.=)

HATI....



"arghhh!"

jerit Abror dek terkena sengatan tebuan sewaktu dia tengah sibuk training taekwondo di   youth park.

"awat ngan hang Abror?" tanya amir yang berdiri di sebelahnya.

"aku kena sengat tebuan kat tengkuk aku la wey, geram aku!"

"besar tebuan tu bro baik hang gi klinik amik injection, karang ada infection hang yg susah,dahlah kita ada tournament next week" nasihat amir.

"betul gak, kayla wey, aku chow dulu" kata abror sambil mencapai helmetnya.
"oi jangan lupa gitau coach!"jerit amir.

Abror hanya sekadar mengangguk sambil beredar 
menaiki motor.

***
pada malam itu...

"Assalamualaikum" kata abror yang sedang melangkah 
masuk ke arah sofa lalu menghempaskan beg dan
helmetnya dan terus baring di atas sofa.

"Walaikumsalam, ha dah balik pun, kalau ya pun kamu nak baring, letak la dulu helmet dengan beg dalam bilik kecik tu, kan semak ni"

Kata kakak sambil membawa air suam kepada adiknya.
"okay2, tapi kejap lagi la kak, Abo penatla hari ni. Kakak tahu tak, harini, hari yang paling malang! argh! geramnya kat tebuan tak guna tu!" rengus Abror.

"kenapa Abo, tebuan apa yang tak guna ni?akak tak fahamla.." Tanya kakak yang kebingungan.

"tadi, dekat youth park time Abo tengah training tu, ada tebuan sengat tengkuk Abo ni ha, tapi Abo dah
gi klinik amik injection dah sebab takut ada  infection..pasal tebuan tu Abo tak dapat continue training harini! geram gila!!!!!" cerita Abror bersungguh-sungguh. 

"yeke, takpe sabarye abror, nah minum air ni
dulu"
nasihat kakak sambil menghulur segelas air suam kepada adiknya, Abror.

"dalam hidup ni memang kita akan hadapi pelbagai jenis dugaan untuk menjadikan kita lebih matang pada masa yang akan datang. Mungkin Allah menduga Abo sebab Allah nak latih kesabaran Abo dan Allah nak bagi sesuatu yang special kat Abo esok hari, sesuatu yang Abo sendiri tak jangka."

nasihat kakak sambil melihat wajah Abror yang sudah kelihatan tenang sedikit.

"Tebuan tu juga makhluk Allah yang tak berdosa jadi kita sebagai manusia yang dikurniakan akal fikiran kena sentiasa khusnuzzon (bersangka baik) dan tidak bercakap buruk tentang makhluk lain.
itu yang menunjukkan betapa baiknya hati kita."

"teringat kakak tentang apa yang disebutkan oleh Rasulullah s.a.w.“ Sesungguhnya di dalam diri manusia itu ada seketul daging, jika sekiranya baik daging itu, maka baiklah seluruh diri manusia itu. Jika sekiranya buruk daging itu, maka buruklah seluruh diri manusia itu. Ketahuilah, bahawa ia adalah HATI ”."

Cerita kakak lagi.

"Eh, abang dah balik" jerit nurun sambil berlari menuruni anak tangga.

Abror mengukir senyuman kepada adik bongsunya itu 

"Nurun dah siap homework belum?" tanya Abror
"mestila dah, sebab tu nurun turun..nak tengok tv jap..hehe" jawab nurun sambil tersengih.

"owh dah pukul 10malam nak tengok tv lagi nurun, dah waktu tidur ni"kata kakak.

"alor kak, awal lagi ni, kan esok nurun cuti"

"ok ok, tapi sblm tu nak dengar cita x?akak ada cita bes ni.." kata kakak.

"okay! mestila nurun nak dengar..cita akak selalu bes!" 

" okay, cerita ni dalam buku Imam Ghazali,tentang hati..." kakak pun mula bercerita.

"Pada suatu hari, ada seorang raja ni yang suka sangat lukisan-lukisan, jadi raja ni pun jemputla dua kumpulan pelukis yang handal pada zaman tu, satu kumpulan dari Rome, satu lagi dari China.....

setelah mereka sampai, raja tu pun meletakankan setiap kumpulan di dalam dua bilik yang berasingan dan mengarah mereka untuk melukis dalam dinding bilik masing-masing..kumpulan dari Rome meminta pelbagai jenis warna dari raja tersebut tetapi kumpulan dari China tidak meminta apa-apa pun.."  sambung kakak lagi.

Nurun yang kelihatan agak keliru pun bertanya

"eh, kenapa kumpulan dari China tak minta apa-apa
kak?mcm mana diaorg nak kaler??"
"ha, itulah yang specialnya, nnti nurun akan tahu.."

kakak pun meneruskan ceritanya..

"jadi mereka diberi masa beberapa jam untuk melukis lukisan yang mereka sukai...setelah masa tamat raja tersebut pun pergi kesetiap bilik untuk melihat lukisan mereka...raja tersebut memulakan dengan lukisan dari Rome, raja itu sangat kagum dengan lukisan yang sangat unik yang mempunyai pelbagai warna..

setelah itu raja itu pergi melihat lukisan dari China..raja itu terkejut melihat dinding tersebut kosong tanpa sebarang coretan, tetapi dinding tersebut kelihatan berkilauan, putih bersih dan cantik sekali..jadi raja pun bertanya kepada mereka, 
"apa yang kalian lakukan pada dinding ni??"

"kami hanya menggosok dinding ni tuanku, kami  menggosok sehingga ianya berkilauan dan bersih tuanku, seperti hati kita, jika sentiasa digosok ia akan bersih sekali..." terang pelukis dari China itu.

Raja tersebut terlalu kagum dan tersenyum kerana mendapat nasihat yang sangat unik.." cerita kakak.

Abror tersenyum kerana faham apa yang cuba 
disampaikan kakak.

Nurun yang agak kagum tapi keliru sikit bertanya,
"waa..tapi kak nurun tak fahamla, apa kaitan dengan hati?"

"hati kita pun macam dinding tadi, kalau kita sentiasa buat benda tak baik, buruk sangka, cepat marah maksudnya kita dedahkan hati kita dengan habuk jadi hati akan cepat jadi hitam..kalau kita sentiasa baik sangka, bersabar, sentiasa berzikir ianya sama seperti kita menggosok hati kita untuk berkilat, bersih, suci..bila hati kita suci Allah lagi saying kat kita betul tak???" kata kakak.

"betul  betul  betul" kata nurun dengan nada yang gembira sekali kerana sudah memahami maksud cerita tadi.

"lepas ni nurun nak cuba sentiasa bersabar sebab nurun ni cepat marah..jom abang kita sama-sama jadi sabar" sambung nurun lagi sambil merenung
Abror.
"ok! abo naik dulu ye kak, nak mandi" jawab abror sambil tersenyum melihat nurun.

nurun pun bangun dan menuju ke arah kerusi yang  berada berdekatan dengan tv. 

kakak pula hanya tersenyum melihat gelagat adik-adiknya lalu berlalu ke dapur sambil membawa gelas yang diguna Abror tadi..

and THAT'S WHAT WE CALL EXTRAORDINARY!
