Busybody r us

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Its my first day of 4th sem. I woke up early thank to my dearest roommate. I feels great today even though its raining and windy.And this will be a new beginning, O Allah, make us strong and make everyday better than before.

Astagfirullah, I whine a bit yesterday about a bit of busy-ness that envelope my day. Well, it happens because of few days of "futur". So serve me right! Then, a lovely sister told me, "Kalau Allah x sibukkan kita dengan perkara2 besar, Dia akan sibukkan kita dengan perkara2 kecik."

Its true, that whatever happens, we humans will always make ourself busy. Even if we have nothing to do, there is the urge to poke into things, jaga tepi kain org, looking for stuff to do. And delight urself, when your busy-ness is busyness because you work for Allah's sake, for Allah's way. Coz if not, you may do something else that He doesnt not approve, or just wasting ur time away.

Verily, the nikmat of free time is one of the nikmat we always throw away by doing wasteful things. And syaitan will always try their best to make you busy with dunia and all the beauties in it until you forget to busy ourself in finding the provision for the hereafter.


(Bit unrelated picture shows how to share a burden (n busy-ness) in a community. Can be applied in an organisation)


"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) he earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our (Patron, Supporter and Protector) and give us victory over the disbelieving people.""
(Al-Baqarah, 286)
