The-late-updated-post: Exam vs Ramadhan

17/7/2012

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahim. In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

Assalammu’alaikum. May peace be upon you. J

Alhamdulillah, with rahmah from Allah I’ve been given another chance to breath and live in His world, ad-dunya.

Masha Allah wa (and) subhanallah, there is few days left for Ramadhan and university’s exam. Either I pictured what I felt here or kept it in my heart, He knows everything. And He alone, knows and understood me better than myself. T_T.

“Dan rahsiakanlah perkataanmu atau nyatakanlah. Sungguh, Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati.” [67:13]

And  the next verse He said:

“Apakah (pantas) Allah yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui? Dan, Dia Maha Halus, Maha Mengetahui.” [67:14]

I don’t know why. But now, I feel like crying. When we feel so, we’ll try to find something that consoles our heart very much.

“(yaitu) orang-orang yang berimandan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingati Allah. Ingatlah, dengan mengingati Allah hati menjadi tenteram. [13:28]

See, Allah gives us various ways to console our misery heart. This is one of the ways. Yeah, like I said earlier, when everyone happily countdown for Ramadhan, we also countdown for uni’s exam though in India we gonna start fasting a day later compared to Malaysia.

Frankly speaking, I’m verily, literally and and and seriously feel excited about this coming Ramadhan! Alhamdulillah, thanks Allah for giving me such feeling. I never feel like this before. But but but, I’m soooooooo worry my preparation for uni’s examination will overtake the Ramadhan!.

Okay, let’s have a look at seerah Rasulullah s.a.w during this month of barakah. What’s the most remarkable situations happened towards muslim during those days.

THE FIRST BATTLE against kafirun in islam! What’s the name? PERANG BADAR!!

Now, can you see the significance / similarities of their and our situation? Naa, not OUR but ME, my situation. Oh, maybe you also faced the same situation. Mereka berjihad di jalan Allah, dan kami juga! #inshaAllah. Their battle was against non-muslim whom opposed islam. But, ours is different. But the root is the same. Jihad fi sabilillah. 

If you wanna know more about Perang Badar, google / find any history books which storied bout it. Oh, it also had been storied in Quran. Easy right? Open your Quran, and read Surah Al-Imran and many more. I’m pretty sure you guys know better than me. J

Sorry, I’m kinda in rush and can’t write very much the details because I’ve pile of topics need to be covered within this short time. All of above, I should only and fully RELY ON ALLAH and SUBMIT myself thoroughly and firmly to Him. He knows what’s behind and what’s in front of us.

“… Dia mengetahui apa yang di hadapan dan apa yang di belakang mereka, dan mereka tidak mengetahui sesuatu apa pun tentang ilmu-Nya melainkan apa yang Dia kehendaki…” [2:255]

Seems familiar with this meaning? It is in ayatul kursi. The one verse which we repeatedly reading after every solah, before going to sleep and etc. this verse also shown that we, human are powerless and knowledge-less without His mercy. Well, Allah is The Most Merciful. So, be close to Him, obey His orders and He’ll grant your wish at ease. InshaAllah.

Well, bear this in our mind. ‘The remembrance of Allah towards us is depends on how much we remember him’.

“Maka ingatlah kepada-Ku, Aku pun akan mengingti-Mu. Bersyukurlah kepada-Ku, dan janganlah kamu ingkar kepada-Ku” [2:152]

You shall not forget about Him. NEVER EVER. If you forgot about Him, go and seek for other place to live in. I bet! You won’t find any.

Here, I left you with a quote which left me in a very deep thought, inshaAllah:

“Janganlah kamu singkatkan masa yang sememangnya sudah singkat dengan perkara yang melalaikan dan sia-sia”

Happy Ramadhan to all and please pray for our success. Allah will pay your good deeds and intentions.

Jazakumullahu khairan kathira. J

*PSSSTTTT: Allahuakbar, mashaAllah, Alhamdulillah… I don’t know how much to thank Allah. Right after I wrote this, I went out to study in my friend’s room since the homesick & stress syndrome governing my emotion. When I locked the door, someone stuck a photo against the door.

It’s written:

“Allah s.w.t listens and already knows what is in your heart. But, He wants you to ask Him for what you want.” [2:186]

I broke into tears again. T_T.

See, Allah hears me. He sent someone to give me a verse from Quran which sort of soothed me A LOT. What else I could say? MashaAllah, Allahuakbar, Alhamdulillah, Subhanallah.

~He is sooooo sweet and the Most Sweetest!~

Thanks for reading.

Jazakumullahu khairan kathira. :)
