Forgive me...

Forgive Me ~ Ahmed Bukhatir

Today ,upon a bus
I saw a girl With golden hair .
And wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch
But as she passed, she smiled
Oh God, forgive me when I whine

When I whine,

I have two legs,

The world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy
The lad, who sold it, had such charm.
I talked with him. He seems so glad.
If I were late, it’d do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me
“I thank you, you’ve been so kind”
“You see…” he said “ I’m blind”..

Oh God, forgive me when I whine

When I whine

I have two eyes
The world is mine

I saw a child with eyes of blue
He stood and watched the others play.
He did know what to do
I stopped a moment and then I said,
“ why don’t you join the others dear?”
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew . He couldn’t hear,
Oh God, forgive me when I whine

When I whine

I have two ears
The world is mine

*with feet to take me where I’d go.

With eyes to see the sunset’s glow.

With ears to hear what I’d know.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine

When I whine.


I ‘ve been blessed indeed, the world is mine

Based on the above lyrics, we can conclude that:

We must thank and praise Allah for giving us the most valuable and “special” things, which are our 5 senses: sight, taste, hear, touch, and smell.

            If you are  facing a difficulty in your life, don’t ever lose your hope and faith in Allah. Channel it as the strength of your heart to achieve success in life. The higher your dreams, the less your worries should be.

            Let us be like the child who still gives her smile to make others happy, even though she had only one leg and wore a crutch.

            Let us be like the blind man , who still works hard although his vision might not be there. He never whine, feel disappointed of himself, or ask for help from the people around him.
           They are the people who always put their full efforts to succeed in their lives.

Do you still want to say that you had failed in your life, although you still have all those “special” things?

Think again…

Kembali pada hakikat...

Assalamu'alaikum..

Bersyukur kita kehadrat ilahi dengan izinNYA dapat kita merasai nikmat iman dan nikmat Islam.  Lantas itu, terdapat beberapa perkara yang kita perlu muhasabah semula agar diri tidak terlalu leka / lalai dibawa arus kenikmatan duniawi semata - mata. Seharusnya, seseorang muslim perlu bijak dalam urusan duniawi dan ukhrawi/akhirat.

     

     Hati - hati kita diumpakan seperti sebuah " komputer" yang canggih.  Bila mana ia jarang 'diservis' , maka mudahlah ia diserang 'virus'.  Begitu juga diumpakan dengan hati -hati kita.  jadi kita hendaklah selalu 'update' hati kita dengan perisian yang terbaik bagi mengelakkan daripada rosak begitu sahaja.

     

     Untuk tidak menyamakan diri kita seperti komputer tadi, kita perlulah berbalik semula pada hakikat kita diciptakan oleh Allah S.W.T.  Sebelum kita dilahirkan ke dunia lagi, kita telah pun berjanji kepada Allah untuk menjadi khalifah yang dapat memakmurkan muka bumi.

•      Allah telah berfirman "tidak aku jadikan jin dan manusia melaikan untuk beribadat kepada ku.."

         (surah Adz-Dzaariyaat 51:56)

• "kamu umat terbaik dilahirkan untuk manusia..mengajak kepada kebaikan dan mencegah daripada kemungkaran"

         (surah Ali 'Imran:110)  

          Wahai sahabat harapan Islam..,

          

           "Andai Islam seperti sebuah bangunan usang yang hampir roboh..maka akanku berjalan ke seluruh dunia mencari jiwa - jiwa muda.  aku tidak ingin mengutip dengan ramainya bilangan mereka, tapi aku inginkan hati -hati yang ikhlas untuk membantuku dan bersama membina kembali bangunan usang itu menjadi sebuah bangunan yang tersergam indah"

(Imam As-Syahid Hassan Al-Banna)
