Istiqamah

Assalamualaikum semua.

Kalau tgk title post ni, mesti duk ingat istiqamah as islamik sikit kan? Haha. Nope my dear.

It is about how you refrain yourself from doing the things that you have been doing all this while.

Semua org mesti ada goals masing2 kan? Nk istiqamah belajar, nk istiqamah pakai tudung tutup dada, pakai baju longgar, buat baik dan seanteronya.

Tapi mcm mana kita nk istiqamah ni kawan2? Haaa mcm ni.

First, awak2 semua termasuk lah saya si penulis ni, must think of a valid reason of doing that istiqamah-ly. Tengok ni, dah meng-Englishkan perkataan tu. Hopefully semua faham eh mksd saya ni. Haha

Bila kita ada valid reason, kita akan mula control ourselves and keep on reminding ourselves of that reason whenever we think of to break our promise( ie promise utk istiqamah).

Kedua, make sure kita punya things to istiqamah tu tak melanggar syarak agama ye. Mksd saya, ke arah kebaikan baik utk diri kita dan agama. Haaa tetiba dah terceramah. Bukan, saya just nk kita semua betulkan niat sahaja.

Ketiga, make sure our surroundings tu will directly or indirectly give some support to us to keep istiqamah. Contohnya mcm, follow instagram yg relatable, befriend with those who have the same goals as you, and read some books yang boleh bagi kit more reasons to stay istiqamah and so on.

Lastly and most importantly, minta dengan Allah. Buat solat hajat banyak2. Bagi solat hajat kita tu setinggi gunung pun takpe. Allah bukan tak perkenankan doa kita if kita minta tapi tak dapat2. Allah cuma tunggu nak perkenankan bila waktu yang sesuai dan kena dengan keadaan kita. Jadi berbaiksangka lah dengan-Nya.

Saya dulu banyak salah dan silap pada diri terutamanya dan orang2 sekeliling. Tapi pintu taubat masih terbuka. Betul kan? Jadi bila mana kita berbuat benda tidak baik, solat taubat lah. Buat benda tak baik lagi, solat taubat lah. Allah Maha Pengampun. Jadi jangan risau ye.

Dalam hidup ini, semua dah diaturkan. Saya pernah mempersoalkan sesuatu yg terjadi pada diri saya. Rasa berdosa sangat. Saya doakan, kita semua sentiasa redha dan yakin dgn perancangan Allah.

Dalam jangka masa yg pendek ini, too many things happened to me. And yes, i kept on questioning Him as why these things is happening to me. That was so wrong. Who am I to question our Lord.

And my istiqamah is, eh no. Still try to istiqamah is, to think of Him in a positive way.

Take care everyone. May Allah guide us in the right path. Aminnn

Assalamualaikum.
