seseorang itu akan di+ampakkan ke dalam neraka, maka keluarlah ususnya dan dia berputar-putar seperti

In our daily life, we can't escape from facing the many twists and tribulations life has to offer. We

often hear the saying, "Life is a test". Very true. It's a test of patience and imaan. Look around you.

The world is coloured with numerous people from all walks of life. ich and poor. !appy and

miserable. ome of us tend to be boastful and achie#e happiness in life by showing off our status

and wealth. We feel proud because we are more fortunate than others. $ut do we reali%e that we

are actually swimming in something that doesn't really belongs to us&

Look at the spectacular blue sky.

on't you find yourself as a #ery small and weak organism& ometimes we are too proud and arrogant

of all the wealth, intelligence and status we are granted with. (ow let us reflect, will it be

permanent&

)ompare all you ha#e with what *llah has to offer. !ow little.

*gain, look at the sky.!ow lo#ely *llah has created it. It is placed atop as if it is flying. It stays up there and does not fall

down on us as assumed in the mo#ie ")hicken Little". The magnificent blue sky has ne#er been

arrogant with its beauty or its greatness. The sky obey each and e#ery commandment of *llah. When

*llah wants it to be dim, it ne#er disobeys. $ut us humans& $y only being tested with wealth,

property, beauty and ranks, we somehow automatically forget that we are +ust weak beings and

e#erything will not last. #erything belongs to *LL*!. -ne day, we will surely I. *nd none of these

blessings will be taken along with us then.

Let's ponder upon our past. *t some point of our li#es, we often get +ealous with the richness and

ease of others. We en#y the achie#ements of other. We get frustrated and ask, "why me, *llah&",

"why not himher&". !a#e we forgotten !is promise&

The life of this world is but play and amusement: and if ye believe and guard against evil, He

will grant you your recompense, and will not ask you (to give up) your possessions.

/urah 0uhammad 1 Verse 234

Why aren't we grateful after all !e has gi#en us& Is it not enough& Look at those who are inferior

than you, not those of the superior. Look at the golden sun. #enthough it is the biggest star in the

uni#erse, it still obeys *llah. When *llah wants it to come out an bless the world with warmth and

light, it follows what is ordered. $ut when *llah wants it to go away, it will set with obedience.

$e thankful.

I would like to in#ite both you and I to always think and ponder upon the li#es of those who are

inferior than us.

We can still breathe, while some others are struggling for another breath at the verge of

akratul !aut (death)

We can still walk, while some others have no feet. "et, we always find e#cuses to walk towards

$llah%s house, the !as&id.

We have eyes, while some others are tested by blindness since born. "et, they tend to be more

grateful than us and they constantly remember $llah through d'ikir, while we forget $llah by

looking at what is prohibited.

We often forget who we are and what is our purpose of li#ing. Take full ad#antage of life. Li#e it to

the fullest. $enefit yourself for the hereafter. -ur duty is to ser#e *llah. 5se the wealth and position

granted to us to in#ite our fellow friends towards +annah.

Look at the world with the eyes of your heart. 6ou'll find that the world is nothing. $ut the hereafteris something. In fact, it is e#erything7 It is permanent. Work for akhirah with all your strength and to

the upmost capacity. *llah #alues more on 8uality rather than 8uantity.
