turn over a new leaf

change is hijrah. and hijrah is moving from one place to another. but not just moving our body but also our sole as well.

well, we can't really be like rasulullah SAW and his companions. i mean, every time we feel like changing, we pack our bags and move to some place and become a new person, no no. maybe hijrah was not only that really. but what we really can do is try to make a different in ourselves to become a new piece of brand that will be recognised not only by ourselves, to other people and also by Allah SWT Himself.

it's not always easy to make changes as some people get very reluctant to do so. we like our comfort zone very much, where everything is just fine. it's none other place that we like best. and no one can really say anything to change our minds to do other wise. but only when something came up as though a stone been trown from a corner to knock some senses to ourselves at some point and we feel as though something has to be done, or something has to change for the better good. this is what i mean by hijrah.

everyone has to change at some point. and when we do, make the best out of it. become a better person and make a better life for ourselves, no matter what people say. well, people will talk of course, it's nature i suppose. but moving on is for our own good not for the people who are talking.

people change. that's what i always tell my friends. in friendship, people tend to believe it will last forever, no obsticles will break the bonds between them. this kind of believe will only bring sadness to them if they fail to realise that people will change some day. there's no stopping it. no matter how hard it will be, but that's reality. wake up and smell the fresh air people!

what can we do when one of our friends change? well, for starters, accept it. because people will grow out of each other. and that's a hard fact but it's true. no point trying to make the situation like old times, say if something is done and everything would be fine and everyone would smile again. at some point all those things won't make any difference. like i said before people grow out of each other or i rather say get sick of each other. haha~

but changing from bad to good is a total different thing. example, from a bad muslims to becoming a well deserves praised muslims is always considered a good thing. no one can really argue other wise. i have seen alot of people whom has change to become a better as before. people will talk and say bad things about them. in normal circumstances, these people will be rejected by some friends of theirs as they seem to be different as before. it's nature as i would say. but that's a reality really. because to some people, living a life with no boundaries is being at the top of the world, and no one can stop what they want to do or become in life eventhough it's clearly against Allah SWT laws. nauzubillahminzalik.

if you want to change to become a better person then stop listening to what other people are saying or going to say, because no matter what we do in life people will still talk about us either good things or bad. you need to find other friends, start new. mixing with good people is a start (muslims and muslimah). forget the past. no matter how bad you were before as a person, people can still change. this is call the door to taubah. it's always open as Allah is the all Mighty Forgiver. He will guide us in the way to Jannah. we only have to have faith. that's all it takes to become a better muslims. but once change, never and never return to our old self. it's a big NO NO. and that's what i call turning over a new leaf or hijrah so it seems.

wallahua'lam.
