A Smile

Assalamualaikum wrh wbt

Smiles.

It's been awhile since I've experience true smiles. Been awhile since I enjoyed how sincere one could actually smile and be honest in a conversation. Well, it may also be due to the fact that I haven't been having social interaction with humans for the past week but I dare not that say that anyone has 'evil' to me. I believe that the only one being evil is me; to myself.

Putting all the negativity aside,
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.

Much has Allah granted to me and the whole world. Although there is a shortage of water here in Selangor, it is still a much better condition compared to those in Jogjakarta whom are facing 'sand rain' due to the volcano burst.

And through all these I have learned that we need to be grateful towards what is occurring around us. Despite the fact that maybe we can't be able to do things other people can do, even though there will be times when we can't attend events as much as we use to. People will judge, that can't be stopped. Guilt will be surrounding every inch of your soul. You'll feel awful, bad, left behind.

However...

Never make that stop you from moving forward and trying to find what you can do of the moment. Don't ever let shaytan take a spot in your heart and say that you can't do anything else. Never let it ruin your system and tell you that you can't do other things.

Tarbiyyah is when you look at these things with good judgement that Allah will make things better. Because at the end of the day, He loves you and He wants the best for you. Take into account what you can do.

Don't sulk.
Get up and brave the day.
Let those who say that you are 'filtered'
Understand.
You can live and bloom.
And that you're not useless filtrate.

Smile, dear sad soul.
Didn't Allah promise?
"Be not, then, faint of heart, and grieve not: for you are bound to rise high if you are (truly) believers."
Al-Imran: 139

Smile love. Be strong. :)
