Advice For Us

My brother, our life is only once in this world. So this way, we should do and give the best. This life will end if angel take our soul, so we should give excellent serveng to our God, Allah.

My brother, we should give sign in this world. Good sign, best sign. The sign can be our writings, can be our school that we make, by our students who coninoue our struggle, etc. The most important, we should give good sign in this creation/world.

My brother, when we are birthed to this life, people around us laugh. So, when we die make them cry. Make them sad to our died. Make them feel that we are good man, helpful, etc. How the way? The way is we spread godness to them. If we have a lot of money we can spread our money by giving alm, etc. If we have knowledge we should spread our knowledge by teaching them. If we have power we should help them when they need our power.

 We also should smile when we meet them. We should speak by good way with them. We should  greet them when we meet them in the way or in other places. We should make them save and calm with our presence. Make them miss us if we leave them. So, our presence is useful for them. We don’t give them badness, but we give them goodness, love, and other positive things. ;)

Will we repeat Again our Mistakes?

My brother, in  facing this life we  get so many challenges. So this way, we should be carefull. If we are not carefull we will fall down and get difficulty to wake up.

So many  happenings  that give us warning. There are many stories become reminder to us. Don’t we take it as learning and then we avoid from it? If we have known it, will we do it again? Will we repeat again? Do we want to fall down twice or more in the same place?

Those are questions that we don’t need to answer. But it become our reminder, because we often get challenges in this world. We also get many examples to avoid bad thing. But usually, we don’t care it. Usually we fall down in the same time. Not only. Twice, three times, four times, or five times, but many times. Uncountable.

May we can make ourselves better han before. Ameen.

Best People

My brother, everyone in this world must do  mistake. Nobody save from mistake. But my brother, best people who do mistake are they who repent and never do it again.

Best people are not people who never do mistake, but they are who do wmistake and repent quickly and never repeat it again.

My brother wrongness and forgetfull is chracteristic of man. Man or human  in arabic term is “insan”. Insan is derived from “nasiya-yansa-nisyan” that has meaning “forget”. The other meaning from forget can be wrong. So, from it’s name man or human has big potension to do mistake.

So, we still have opportunity to be best people before death “visit” us. Dont’ worry. J

Who are best people? They are people who do mistake and then they repent quickly. They are not people who never do mistake.

Life in the World and Hereafter

My brother, life in the world is only temporary. Life in the world is only a moment. The real life and the eternal life is hereafter life. This life (life in this world) is only field to plant godness so we can harvest it later in hereafter.

In this era the oldest man who still live maybe is 100 years old. But the average of age people  is 60 years old. And now, let’s compare with life in hereafter. One day in hereafter is like 1.000 years in this world. So, our age in this world does not reach one day in hereafter. Subhanallah. Really, world life is only temporary.

So this way, Allah messenger ever said that the cleverest man is someone who always remember about death and prepare well to face death. Why? Because death is door for entering hereafter.

My brother, Let us prepare ourselves. Let us make the best action and deed in this life. Because our deeds in this life will be “gun” for us for saving us from hell.

May we can enter heaven and save from hell. Ameen.

Are We Still Sad?

My brother, many people feel sad if there are anythings that are not suitable with their heart. We know that it is natural. I mean sadness, happiness, etc are things that must happen in our life.

But in Islamic teaching, we are forbidden by Allah to be sad. Allah said in al-Quran, “Laa Tahzan”. “Don’t be sad”. So, if we are often sad in our life, we don’t obey to Allah command. He forbid us in order we are not sad, but we are still often sad. It is signs that our faith is not srong. Our faith is still weak.

A good moslem will be always happy in his life. If he get something good he will thankfull to Allah. But if he get something bad, he will be patient. Both of them are good and create happiness.

Okey, it is the last statement for me in this writing as conclusion:

“We are commanded by Allah to do maximally and effort as possible as we can. But we are also forbidden to be sad. If we do but we are sad, so we still don’t obey to Allah”.

Okey, thank you. May this writing can give advantage for us. :)

Make ‘Creation’

 My brother, all of people can make ‘creation’ in their life. They can give big advantage to other people. It can be by giving money (alm), helping  other people job, or making writing that can motivate and give big change, etc.

My brother, we can do it. But  usually, we are lazy to make ‘creation’. We choose other activity that only can give advantage to ourself  like sleep, eat, etc. 

Really, giving advantage to other people can give us happiness, not only fun. Our heart will be calm, our mind will be fresh, and our spirit will grow and be progress. 

My brother, when we were birthed to this world, we make people around us care and give attention to  us. They were worry to our condition. They were afraid if bad thing happen to us. So this way, when we grow and can do many things, we should care and give big attention to them. We should help them and give them  happiness. It for pay our ‘debt’ to them. We should change it. How the way? Make creation that give many and big advantage to other people. It’s the good solution.

My brother, beside that, we should be careful in making creation. Sometimes  we are  afraid to do good thing (creation). We are afraid whether it’s intention is for Allah or for human being. Because we have thinking like that, so we leave it. Really, it’s not good. It’s bad. It’s right that doing something because human being, not because of Allah is riya’. But if we leave, it is also riya’. How can? Because, our intention in leaving it is not because of Allah, but it’s because of human being. So the good way is, when we are worry do creation can make us riya’, we continue doing  it while we effort to do it because of Allah. 

My brother, I write like this doesn’t mean that I must be able to do it. But it’s for reminding for us, especially for me as writer.

Finally, let’s make big and useful ‘creation’ in our life that can give many advantage to other people. :)

Spare Time Before Narrow Time

 y brothers, just now I got good advice from one of speaker in masjid. He told about hadits Rasulullah Saw that explain about  5 things that we should maximilize and take care. What are those? Those are live before dead, young before old, sick before health, spare  time before narrow time, and rich before poor.  After I look in my life (may be in your life too), I remember  about one of those things, that is “spare time before narrow  time”.

My brothers, let’s look look in our  life. May be we often don’t maximilize our spare time until narrow time come.  We don’t care about spare time. We do other doing for getting fun. And then when narrow time come, we only can regret and regret.

So this way, one of key for getting success and what we want to reach is maximilize our spare time. We don’t  use it for getting fun. We can use it for fun, but better if we only  use  little time.

 Yeah, like that my brother. I hope this can give advantage for me and for all of us. Amiin.

Patience

 My brother, talking about patience, may be some of us feel boring. Because, they often listen about patience.

But my brother, we should know, in facing this life we need patience in every time and every place. Yeah, we need patience whenever and wherever.

Who can be patient in facing ths life, he will gt happiness and calm. But who can’t be, he only will get sadness.

How about us? Can we be patient?

Good Speaking

My brothers, our God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth. What is the purpose? The purpose is in order we can listen more than speak.

So this way, we should be careful in speaking. Many bad "accident" happen because of speaking. For example, insult other people or often blame them.

My brothers, Rasulullah Saw said that if we can't speak/say by good saying, better for us if we are silent. Yeah, silent is better. Or we can say, silent is gold. But if we can spek by good spaking it wil be better than silent.

So, can we speak by good speaking?

About Satisfied

 My brother, after thinking and looking many condition, I make a new conclusion in my life. I think it is true. I think, what I think is not true.

It is about satisfied. Satisfied in facing life. I think, there are two kinds of satisfied. First is good satisfied and the second is bad satisfied.

God satisfied is satisfied that make us enjoy, calm, and happy after we get something that we want.  After that, someone who own this will get spirit and then effort and do better than before. And then, he get new “achievement” again that make him satisfied again.

In contrary, bad satisfied is after enjoy, calm, and happy he goes down. He does not have good spirit. He does not do better. He effort and do worse than before.

The question is, how to get good satisfied? My opinion is, we should make our feeling satisfy because of Allah. Because He will give reward to us and also His heaven. Yeah, I think this is the way to get good satisfied.

May we get good satisfied. Ameen.
