At the end, the person that you need the most is yourself; You believe in yourself, You believe you can make it, You know yourself worth it.

menempatkan kepercayaanmu.

Seseorang begitu tenang dalam menunggu, sebab dalam hatinya ada rasa percaya. Mengapa ada keresahan, kekhawatiran, kegelisahan? Karena tiadanya percaya. Tidak ada satu hal yang pasti memang, tapi rasa percaya mampu meredakan ketidakpastian.

Kau menunggunya, itu ketidakpastian. Kau mau percaya? Tidak ada satupun darinya yang bisa membuatmu percaya bahwa kau harus menunggu sekian lama. Jadi, meletakkan kepercayaan itu harus pada tempatnya.

Allah masih menjadi yang pertama, kan?

Thought:

Sang Maha Membolak-balikkan hati sedang mengubah malam menjadi pagi.

Kemudian teringat salah satu doa yang paling sering dibaca oleh Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam :

مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِى عَلَى دِينِكَ

“Ya muqollibal qulub tsabbit qolbi ‘alaa diinik (Wahai Dzat yang Maha Membolak-balikkan hati, teguhkanlah hatiku di atas agama-Mu).”

Have you ever felt like you are afraid of one thing or another; afraid of losing, afraid of trying, afraid of being forgotten, afraid of being left behind. But you are willing to put aside those feelings, and assure yourself that;

“Allah is ALWAYS with us no matter what. Do not be afraid."

That was what i thought, when I saw the beautiful sunset above and adzan calling as the backsound.

“Ibadah kita lebih pantas dimintakan ampun daripada dimintakan pahala.”

— Habib Zein bin Smith

Sebab barangkali dalam ibadah kita terselip ujub atau kesombongan.

Smile is contagious and it suits everyone just perfect.

Most importantly…

It’s sunnah!

“I never saw anyone smile more than the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.“ [At-Tirmithi]

Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah Al-Bajali, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: "The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, did not keep himself from me ever since I embraced Islam, and whenever he saw me he received me with a smile.“ [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

I just can't.
