musibah

“Barangsiapa yang Allah mahukan dirinya beroleh kebaikan, nescaya diujinya dengan kesusahan”

[Hadith riwayat al-Bukhari]

two days ago, i had a little accident while on my motorcycle. just a minor injury really. i was on the ground for a few seconds because of the pain, then i thought i should get up before people think that i was dead. haha~ everyone was very helpful, a malay guy helped me to stand the motorcycle that was on the road, and the uncle who ran me over gave me a tissue to wipe off my bloody finger. my bones is still aching from the accident. but i'll live for sure..:P alhamduillah.

this accident got me thinking after i reached home. maybe Allah wanted to give something in return, so i had to be tested first in order to get what i wanted. Allah works in a very mysterious way. no ones has the right to think bad from it. there will always be something at the end of the story.

people get confused sometimes by letting their feelings making the most out things that had happened. let say that one had gone to the mosque to perform jemaah prayers and to hear the maghrib-tazkirah. on the way back home after performing the ishak prayer, he noticed that his slippers was missing, someone had stolen it. automatically without realizing, he would think that it's a sign of some sort, that God is trying to say something since his slippers were stolen. after that day, he never again had gone to jemaah prayers.

this kind of thinking surely is wrong all together. we should say Alhamdulillah, for anything that has happen to us regardless bad or good. because everything that happened is a test of iman, Allah said in the al-quran:

"Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allah knows all that before putting them to test)".

[Surah Al-Ankabut: 2-3]

so don't worry and don't be sad, do say alhamdulillah at all means and at all cause. because a test of iman is a blessing from Allah Himself, showing His love to the people who believes.

wallahua'lam.
