Ramadhan Diaries: Family

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Klebang Besar

I miss the time when I was just 17 and things ended for new, fresh beginnings to happen. Anticipating the new was exciting, not daunting and terrifying. After 6 years since 2011, sometimes I feel like going back and re-live the moments again. Then tiba-tiba teringat kisah kaum Bani Israil yang mahukan semula makanan dan kehidupan mereka yg lalu di Mesir. Walhal ketika itu, Allah telah menyelamatkan mereka daripada kezaliman Firaun dan memberikan makanan dari syurga; mann dan salwa. Dulu, walau muka nampak bahagia, tapi kini Allah dah kurniakan satu nikmat yg sangat besar - nikmat hidup di bawah bayangan al-Quran. Would I trade that away with living in the 'dark' again like in my younger years?

Definitely not. Allah dah tunjuk contoh kot dalam al-Quran.

"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Bertakwalah kamu kepada Allah dan ucapkanlah perkataan yang benar, nescaya Allah akan memperbaiki amal-amalmu dan mengampuni dosa-dosamu. Dan barang siapa menaati Allah dan Rasul-Nya, maka sungguh, dia menang dengan kemenangan yang agung."

(Surah Al-Ahzab,33: 70-71)

I hope one day I get to smile as genuinely as I did in this photo, and I hope that during that time, all my family members will smile gleefully as I did. Like in this photo. InshaAllah.
