Belajar Sabar
Dengan Nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Mengasihani
Perasaan itu anugerah.
Gembira.
Sedih.
Suka.
Benci.
Cuba bayangkan kalau kita tak ada perasaan?
.. dan lazimnya, kesedihan berkait rapat dengan dugaan, ujian.
Ujian pulak, depends on how you choose to define it, boleh jadi sesuatu yang memberi kebaikan kepada kita atau pun sebaliknya. Dan, dalam menangani ujian yang menimpa, kita diajar untuk sabar.
daripada buku Patience and Gratitude (an abridged translation of 'Uddat as-sabirun wa zakirat ash-shakirin by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah):
Patience at times of trial and adversity
Patience during difficult times may be achieved by :
1) Thinking of the good reward that lies ahead
The more you believe in the rewards that are waiting for you, the easier it becomes to have patience. If it were not for the anticipation of the rewards, no goals or objectived pertaining to this life or the hereafter would have been achieved. Human nature loves instant gratification, but reason and maturity make us think of the long term outcome, which helps to strengthen our patience in enduring whatever faces us, whether there is no choice or otherwise
// balasan di akhirat dan dunia, kalau sabar (dan Redha, in sya Allah). kan ujian pun satu hadiah, mahu mendekatkan kita kepada Dia?
2) Expecting and hoping for a time of ease
This hope in itself offers a measure of immediate relief
// macam pelangi lepas hujan. mungkin kita akan jadi lebih tenang dan kuat lepas ni (amin)
3) Thinking of Allah's countless blessings
When we realize we cannot enumerate the blessings of Allah, it becomes easier for us to exercise patience in facing the current adversity, because the present trobles are like a raindrop compared to the vast ocean of Allah's blessings and favours
// Dia yang ciptakan kita, jadi Dia yang paling tahu apa yang terbaik untuk kita. wajib kita bersyukur. He Knows, we know not
4) Thinking of previous blessings of Allah
This will remind us of Allah's care, and strengthen our hopes and expectations of a time of ease to come
// dah banyak yang kita mintak Dia bagi, kita tak mintak pun Dia bagi. takkan bila sekali Dia tak perkenankan permintaan kita, kita dah berkira (marah?)
// They say, sadness and pain comes hand in hand. To some extent, I do agree. But somehow, I choose to treasure the feeling, as it gives meaning to my life and brings me closer to The One who Knows-it-all //

Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said in his du'a :
"Ya Allah
If You are not angry with me
then I do not care what happens to me
but still I would rather have Your blessings and favour"
// They say, sadness and pain comes hand in hand. To some extent, I do agree. But somehow, I choose to treasure the feeling, as it gives meaning to my life and brings me closer to The One who Knows-it-all //
