Jika Ramadhan Tak Mampu Membuat Hati Lekat Dengan Qur'an, Lalu Bulan Apa Lagi Yang Hendak Kau Harapkan?

We are all prone to making mistakes: small ones, big ones; frequently, rarely; different ones, same ones. When we attempt to compare our sins to Allah’s infinite Mercy, even the worst of them, our actions will forever be outweighed by His Compassion and willingness to forgive us. Yet God is the Most Merciful, Most Forgiving.

As for repeated sins, Allah will continue to forgive mercifully as long as you continue to sincerely try to move away from the sin. Every time you fall into the sin, you repent sincerely and have true intention of not doing it again, He continues to honour your request for forgiveness. The key is not to give up the effort of staying away from the sin, and being sincere in your efforts as well as your repentance.

Do not ever lose hope in the mercy of Allah, nor underestimate your potential. Don’t let the Shaytan win; he wants you to lose hope in Allah; and if you lose hope in Allah, what’s left? It’s okay to keep falling as long as you keep getting back up. Never give up, not until your last heartbeat.

I crave warmth everywhere. In the morning sun or in sunsets or in music, art, places, just warm energy. When people recommend you songs or movies or tell you how much you mean to them, when people say I love you out of the blue, or a smile from random strangers, people going on walks with you or a picnic date with friends, when somebody talks about the person they love or the times when you are laughing uncontrollably with a group of people you love, I crave that warmth.

Oh Allah, do not take us out of Ramadan unless You have fixed our situation, made our lives happy, forgiven our sins, accepted our prayers and fasting, and fulfilled what we wish for.

I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch. The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.

“Those who devour the property of orphans, they fill their bellies with fire. Soon they will roast in the blazing fire (of Hell).”

-Al Qur’aan [4:10]

Dialog - Orang Baik

Adik : Mas, kenapa memilih jadi orang baik? Seringnya kelewatan baik malah. Bukannya yang ada kadang disakiti, sering merugi, dibayar juga nggak. Hehe

Kakak : Iya betul. Tapi memilih jadi orang nggak baik juga sama aja. Sadar nggak sadar, yang sakit malah diri sendiri, yang dirugikan diri sendiri juga. Kalau kamu mencari orang baik tapi sulit untuk menemukan, ya nggak ada salahnya untuk coba menjadi apa yang kamu cari tadi. Biar nanti memudahkanmu juga, karena biasanya juga akan dipertemukan dengan orang-orang baik lainnya. Dan satu lagi.

Apa itu Mas?

Nggak semua orang bisa cukup terbuka untuk meminta bantuan orang lain. Entah karena nggak enakan, kurang nyaman untuk membagi beban, dan bermacam penyebab dibelakangnya. Jadi bisa saja ada orang yang sangat terbantu oleh pertolongan yang kamu tawarkan. Meski bentuk terimakasih yang mereka berikan, mungkin hanya terdengar sepertinya terimakasih yang seperti biasa. Tapi kamu tidak tahu seberapa dalam rasa terimakasihnya.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said :

The best of you is the one with best character.
