did you know...we should do everything for Allah?
"Every single thing - starting from the glorious dawn when we wake up till we close our eyes under the night sky; it's all for Allah"
7 things, being me, Nov 3, 2008
Well, I suddenly remembered several events in my life which made me feel so tense, so apprehensive that I couldn't imagine anyone else being in my shoes.
Before I go on, here's another place where I stopped by during my trip...
5th April 2010
York
A typical street in York
Yeap, Maliq joined us and we had breakfast at Bettys while discussing a very interesting topic

York Minster, Northern Europe's largest gothic cathedral
The 2nd spiral staircase that I climbed after the one in Oxford's, and it's much higher and narrower (285 steps)
York Boat!
I guess this picture sums up everything :D
Back then, when I was in MRSM TGB (MRSM Jasin), I shared with Yati (Deputy President of BWP 05/06 and then she became my classmate, M07J KMB 07/09) a saying which is coined by myself,
"Whenever you feel tense or under pressure while doing something, always remember you're doing it for Allah"
And when I remind myself that I'm doing it for Him, it sure made me feel less burdened or stressful and I feel more peaceful and sort of untroubled.
Yeah, we might be doing something because of various reasons.
I arranged the heavy tables at the dining hall of MRSM TGB (with the help of friends) because it's my job, I study because I want to pass the exam, I want to play the piano (or keyboard) because it's been my childhood dream, I smile like 24/7 because I promised myself when I was a kid (at least, that's why I think).
Whatever the reasons are; we should know that the core, the basis, the underlying intention of why we're doing everything is truly for Allah :)
And now, I shall continue to study...

I've always overlooked the word motivation, not noticing that there's a word, "motive" somewhere inside it. Motive is the key component of motivation. So what's ur motive of doing stuffs? pleasure of Allah.. simply and completely put.
ReplyDeletep/s: hope it makes sense to u, happy studying. No, happy excelling! (aimless rambling)

ReplyDeleteto eL,

p/s: ramble2 pon ade isi jgk :D
to itana,
well said...;)
sometimes, you really should go back to your old posts you know.. :D
ReplyDeleteYou don't often get the things you want;
even if you flip open the quran every now and again, you'll find verses in which Allah says,
“ Maka adapun manusia, apabila Tuhan mengujinya lalu memuliakannya dan memberinya kesenangan, maka dia berkata: “Tuhanku telah memuliakanku”. namun apabila Tuhan mengujinya lalu membatasi rezkinya maka dia berkata: “Tuhanku telah menghinaku”.(Al-Fajr(89):15-16).
its all just a test Adlan, ujian, to check whether we're grateful or not with the rizq He has provided :) you may not feel like thanking Him now, but truly, there's a lesson that He might want us to learn, and also because He knows you can do it! yakin ke even if you managed to secure a psychiatry homebase, that choice is the best one for you? betulkan niat adlan..whatever you do , no matter how taxing a task is, you always know for whom you're doing it for..
orang yang selalu kecewa jugak when she doesn't get the things she want; but tries to accept things just the way there are,
-i ka
true.
