♥ Annisa Firrayan ; my journey towards perfection…

To begin with the blog-post of month , I’m so, so, so sorry for missing in action for quite awhile. *checks the date of the last post. Gasp! It has been a month and one day to be exact. My days were fully occupied after the A-Level results were out! I was full of activity, you know with the huhu haha of results, brainstorming the courses I shall take in University and with all the appointments with advisors, education exhibitions, organizing my Personal Statement as well as the Plan of Study, yes all those. Oh, this might be a little bit outmoded, but Congratulations to all of you who pass the A-Level Examination and Chayo-Chayo to the ones retaking =)

Howwboyyy, dah lama tak share ‘ilmu yek? Alright birdies, get yourself a cup of coffee or tea, anything which suits your taste buds ;p to keep you entertained while reading the next few mind-numbing paragraphs.

Somewhere last week, I had mistaken a person for another person. I have a friend I know form previous primary school. The last time I heard about him was last year, I think. They said that he’s under the weather and suffering from an ailment. And last week, I heard over the radio that *his name* passed away. I was like, “This name sounds so familiar.” And I had a slight intuition that maybe it’s him :S So, I asked another friend who’s also a friend of his about kawan kami punya full name. I was totally stunned that the name he told me was the name mentioned over the radio the other day. For a moment, it reminds me of death. No matter how young or old you are, when it’s the ‘time’, then it.is.time.

But what happened to people who thought, “Alaaaah, tunggu umur 40 nanti baru lah taubat.” My maid, a very straight and naïve person told me that she thought Kiamat ni lama lagi lerr O.O and I asked her, bila taubat seorang hamba itu bermula? And she said, “nanti-nanti lah sudah tua…” Punya lah terbeliak bijik mata aku =.=” So, I taught her some stuff, stated few  signs of Hari Kiamat which are as plain as the nose on your face which already happened at present and even lend her a book called “Liku-liku perjalanan ke Alam Barzakh” because she thought she would only be SLEEPING dalam kubur nanti. Haiya, senang nye hidop.  This is what we call, Panjang Harapan.

I read about ‘Bahaya Panjang Harapan’ in a book called “Nasihat Agama & Wasiat Iman”. ‘Panjang Harapan’ here is when you think that you will live forever in this world until this feeling actually overwhelmed your heart and made you work for only dunyawi, dunyawi and dunyawi.

•    Siapa yang panjang harapannya, rosak amalannya.   •

Panjang harapan itu akan menarik manusia untuk mengambil berat terhadap dunya dan bertungkus-lumus untuk membina istana impiannya, sehingga ia menghabiskan masa siang dan malam dalam memikirkan cara-cara mengatur kemajuannya, kadang-kadang dengan berusaha di dalam hati, dan kekadang dengan bekerja untuk mencapai kenikmatan lahir ini. Ketika itu seluruh hati dan anggotanya sentiasa sibuk dalam menuntut dunya. Segala amalan untuk akhirat pun dilupakan dan tidak dikerjakan, kerana tidak ada masa lagi untuk menumpukan perhatian kepadanya. Jika perkara itu perkara dunya, ia segera mengusahakan dan bertungkus-lumus dalam menjayakannya. Tetapi, jika perkara itu perkara akhirat, ia malas, cuai dan tidak ada masa lagi. Sepatutnya ia berganjak sebaliknya. Bertungkus–lumus terhadap perkara akhirat yang bisa menjamin baginya tempat tinggal yang abadi dan negeri tempat kembali yang bahagia.

I leave you all with a beautiful Hadith of Rasulullah SAW.

“Bekerjalah untuk dunya seolah-olah anda tidak akan mati selama-lamanya. Dan bekerjalah untuk akhirat seolah-olah ajalmu menunggumu esok.”

Oh, back to the story about my friend atu. It wasn’t him. It was someone else. Kuasa Allah kan? MasyaAllah, two men in the world with the same first name and sir name but of different age. And, SubhanAllah, I actually chat with the daughter (that’s how I found out it wasn’t my friend actually.) I take this as a caution from Allah . Maybe I was too busy with hal dunyawi and spent very little time with Him. I learned my lesson, Ya Rahman Ya Rahim

That’s all to be shared today aye? Hope this would be a reminder for me, you and everyone else.

Ilmu itu lebih utama dari hartabenda. Ilmu menjaga anda, tapi anda menjaga hartabenda. Ilmu akan bertambah, jika dibelanjakan, tapi hartabenda akan berkurang. Ilmu sering menghukum, manakala hartabenda sering dihukum.
