"Perhaps you are wishing for just a drop, and Allah wishes to provide you with rain, And you want to wish for a star, but Allah wills to give you the moon."

We hear it so often- that if Allah is making us wait then it is because He plans on giving us something more beautiful than we can expect.

Like patiently waiting on a flower, wondering why the wait has become long & complicated- enduring countless storms & holding onto moments of shade, only to realize all those years Allah was preparing for you not just a flower, but a garden.

That time wasn't just a clock that was ticking, but time was Allah arranging every second, every minute, every affair & every moment in your life so carefully.

We focus so much on time, waiting all day for the next, all week for friday, all summer for winter, all winter for summer, all year for the next, not realizing that time itself waits on Allah.

I know it can be so difficult. The not knowing of how, when, where or why.

That is the beauty of sabr though. The act of waiting becomes an act of ibadah as we practice sabr & pour our hearts into du`as for the things that we truly want in life, constantly turning to Allah for guidance & results after putting our own efforts in.

After patience, good news awaits you. Allah is the one who can turn everything upside down and arranges the events of the entire universe and He can rearrange yours because of your du`as.

It is only human to feel the seeds of doubt deep in our hearts. All the what if`s, the lost sleep, all the tears. If what we wish for will be, whether we even deserve the things we even ask for, what life has to offer for us- and whether our dua`s will be accepted. All these concerns,

But how can you not console yourself with Allah`s promise, knowing you are currently living out one of the dua`s you made & that His promise is always true? That the time did pass & Allah did not fail us?

Allah does not sustain your sadness, rather He wishes only for you to turn Him, to be close to Him. Every time you talk to him & ask from him, nurturing the moment to meet the ease you make du'a for with tears in your tired, needy eyes..

He is there- with all His might & all His strength- for no reason other than to nurture, care & provide for you. To hear from you, and to give to you.

We constantly doubt ourselves & become worried because we forget that nothing in this world can be for you & no one in this world can take from you except that Allah is in charge of everything and He knows all that we do not. Allah, with all His kindness, watchfullness and mercy, knows exactly what we face.

He knows our fears, worries, hesitations, and He gives us the blessing of hope so that we can embrace another day and another... until the day we walk straight into the hereafter.

It is from His mercy that we wait in this life, so that when the day comes, because of all our sabr & tawakkul, we can run straight past the gates of jannah in the blink of an eye.

When Allah sees you struggling & striving for his sake, when you commit a sin & feel unworthy & ashamed, when you smile in the days & cry in the nights, when Allah sees you falling & getting back up, hoping that better awaits you,

He smiles at you, knowing that YOU wait for the better. That you still assume good of Him. That you still trust in Him, that you still have tawakkul.

You have to do your part though, you have to have tawakkul while you wait. Allah provides for the birds in the manner that they leave in the morning hungry & return in the evening with stomachs full. Rasulullah ﷺ said that Allah will provide in this same manner for the one who has tawakkul in Him.

Meaning you do your part & tie your camel, putting in the best effort you can. But you do not rely on your own intelligence, you do not rely on your own hands, you do not rely on people or depend on anything & anyone in this world, but you depend on Allah. That is the meaning of tawakkul & that is the art of waiting.

Live in the present & don't stress to much about time, nor worry about time, when time itself relies on Allah. In the same way that He is the one who guides the birds to leave their homes when the sun comes up & provides their sustenance, then turns morning into night for them so that they may rest, Allah turns morning into nights & nights into morning for you too.

Not just in this life, but life itself is like a day. Where when we enter Jannah it will feel only like a fragment in time.

So do your best in this life & then rest. Don't worry, don't rush- you are & always will be under care of the One who has no beginning & has no end.

Ada banyak orang yang berkata "jangan cuma deket sama satu orang kalau belum dikasih kepastian"

Tapi tidak bagiku, karena menurutku adalah ketika memulai dengan 1 dan misal berakhir ya 0. Tidak malah menjadi 2 atau 3.

Jika kita tidak belajar menghargai, bagaimana kita mau di hargai? Kalaupun ujungnya mungkin hasilnya gagal, paling tidak kita sudah pernah sepenuh hati dengan satu orang saja. Tidak ada yang mau dijadikan opsi.

Karena "Setia itu harga diri"

[onedioisleonardo]

Rasanya memang berat, tapi kita punya Allah yang Maha Menguatkan.

Rasanya memang sesak, tapi kita punya Allah yang Maha Melapangkan.

Rasanya memang sulit, tapi kita punya Allah yang Maha Memudahkan.

[onedioisleonardo]

Ketika kamu yakin dan percaya doamu akan terkabul, kamu tinggal menunggu sampai doa itu terwujud. Ketika kamu yakin sesuatu itu akan terjadi, Maka kamu tidak perlu hidup khawatir.

Kamu bisa tenang, karena meyakini apa yang kamu doakan akan terjadi. Pada saat yang tepat, Allah akan membawanya dari yang tak terlihat, menjadi terlihat.

Ini adalah cara hidup yang jauh lebih baik. Ini menghilangkan semua tekanan. Jika kamu berdoa lalu khawatir, maka hidupmu akan terus tertekan. Ujiannya sekarang adalah kesabaran.

Ketika kamu goyah saat belum melihat tanda ada perubahan, setan dengan senang hati akan membujukmu untuk keluar dari keyakinan kepada Allah. Kamu harus yakin kepada Allah. Ini hanya masalah waktu sebelum kamu melihatnya itu terwujud.

Said ibn Hudhair

Rasulullah SAW pernah mengirim satu unit pasukan. Diantara mereka ada seseorang bernama Hudhair. Karena tahun itu paceklik (sedikitnya persediaan makanan), Rasulullah SAW memberikan bekal kepada setiap personil pasukan, tetapi beliau lupa memberikan kepada Hudhair, karena ia berasa di barisan paling belakang.

Meski demikian Hudhair tetap ikut berangkat sambil mengharap pahala dari Allah SWT dan bersabar. Ia terus mengulang-ulang kalimat Thayyibah : "La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar wa al-hamdulillah wa subhana allah wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah". ( Tiada tuhan selain Allah, Allah MahaBesar, segala puji bagi Allah, Mahasuci Allah, dan tiada daya serta kekuatan kecuali bersama Allah). Hudhair juga melafalkan "Ya Allah, Tuhanku, inilah sebaik-baik bekal".

Karena wiridnya itulah, Malaikat Jibril As datang menemui Rasulullah SAW seraya berkata :"Rabbku mengutusku menemuimu, untuk menyampaikan bahwa engkau memberi bekal semua sahabatmu, tetapi lupa membekali Hudhair.

"Ia berasa di barisan paling belakang dan terus mengucapkan ""La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar wa al-hamdulillah wa subhana allah wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah". Ia juga berkata "Ya Allah, Tuhanku, inilah sebaik-baik bekal".

Malaikat Jibril As melanjutkan "Wahai Muhammad, Sungguh ucapannya itu akan menjadi cahaya baginya pada hari kiamat yang terbentang antara langit dan bumi. Maka, kirimkanlah bekal kepadanya". Mendengar penuturan Malaikat jibril As, Rasulullah SAW langsung memanggil seseorang dan menyuruhnya memberikan bekal kepada Hudhaira. Rasulullah berpesan kepada si utusan agar jika telah menemuinya, hendak ia menghafal kalimat2 yg diwiridkan Hudhair.

Rasulullah SAW juga berpesan agar utusan itu menyampaikan salam darinya dan mengatakan bahwa beliau lupa memberinya bekal dan Allah SWT mengutus Malaikat Jibril As untuk mengingatkannya. Malaikat Jibril As memberi tahu Rasulullah SAW tentang posisi Hudhair yg masih tetap melafalkan kalimat2 itu. Setelah bertemu utusan Rasulullah SAW itu mendekatinya dan berkata "Rasulullah menyampaikan salam untukmu, Beliau mengutusku untuk memberikan bekal ini kepadamu. Rasulullah lupa memberimu bekal, lalu Malaikat Jibril dtg kpd Rasulullah mengingatkan hal itu". Hudhair hanya bisa memuji Allah SWT dan bershalawat kpd Rasulullah SAW lalu berkata

"Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan semesta alam. Rabbku mengingatku dari atas tujuh lapis langit sana dan dari atas Arasy-Nya. Dia mengasihani rasa lapar dan kelemahanku. Ya Rabb, sebagaimana Engkau tidak melupakan Hudhair, jangan jadikan Hudhair lupa kepada-Mu."

Utusan tersebut menghafal apa yg diucapkan Hudhair, lalu bergegas kembali menghadap Rasulullah SAW da menyampaikan apa yg didengar nya dari Hudhair. Maka Rasulullah SAW bersabda :"Kalau saja saat itu kau tengadahkan kepalamu ke langit, pasti kau akan menyaksikan kata-katanya itu terbang seperti cahaya yang terang, terbentang antara langit dan bumi".

Trust that what you want for yourself is something that Allah wants for you too & it is Him who has guided you to make dua. It will be accepted in one way or another. It all starts with you thinking good of Allah. If you keep on believing, the miracles that you want will happen.
