Hidup Pun Satu Motivasi…Ok…!!!!!!!!!

Salam semua….nak citer sikit ni…lately saya rase letih sgt…tak tau lah kenapa…tapi yang pasti homework makin berlambak…otak makin sembab…hati makin membengkak…aduhhhh….camne ek???????

Tapi ari ni entry saya bukan pasal hati yang makin membengkak atau otak yang semakin sembab…tapi ari ni saya nak cerita pasal hidup dan motivasi….

Kenapa saya nak ketengahkan soal ni…????????

Ha…..tu la korg...biase la saya ni kan pelajar…sometimes nak la jugak motivasi bagi naik semangat nak belajar…tapi tu la kan….pegi motivasi habis hampir ratusan RM…tapi apa yang dimotivasikan tu biasanya kekal seminggu jer…paling lama 2 minggu…tak tau la kenapa…betullah kata pepatah “MELAYU MUDAH LUPA”..saya sebagai seorang anak Melayu yang bergelar pelajar pun kadang-kadang menghadapi situasi yang sama…(p/s:tiada unsur perkauman okey…!!!!!!!)…

Sedar atau tak…hidup kita ni pun sebenar satu motivasi…setiap hari yang kita lalui juga satu motivasi untuk menghadapi hari esok betul tak..??????

Saya pun tak tau la kenapa…saya selalu tengok orang yang lemah semangat je bila nak datang sekolah….susah nak agak apa masalah dyorg….(p/s: saya pun kadang-kadang cam tu jugak)Tapi dulu cikgu saya ada cakap…orang cam ni sebenarnya kurang motivasi….Tapi auntie saya penah cakap kalau dah malas bagi la motivasi bercupak(p/s:bahasa orang kelantan) pun takkan jd rajin…kalau dah malas tu malas jugak…(huh…marah tue…)

Sebenarnya bagi saya setiap hari yang saya lalui merupakan pembakar semangat saya untuk hari esok…kalau hari ni saya kena marah kat cikgu sebab tak siapkan homework…esok saya dah tak nak kena marah lagi(malu beb…)dan saya akan cuba siapkan kerja sekolah tu…walupun sampai tak tidur…tu lah…sape suruh bertangguh…memang la letih…tapi tu lah harga yang perlu dibayar untuk semua kelalaian kita…betul tak??????

Kalau malas bila nak berjaya…tak guna la kata-kata motivasi yang panjang berjela...ataupun kata-kata motivasi dari orang yang paling berjaya…tak guna semua tu kalau kita sendiri yang malas berusaha…dyorg tu dah berjaya…dyorg boleh bagi macam-macam kata-kata perangsang kat kita…pokok pangkalnya kita sendiri nak atau tak….

Let's Prepare for Ramadhan

Some of the many important lessons we learn from Ramadan are:

 Developing Taqwa

Fasting has been legislated in order that we may gain taqwa, as Allah – the Most High – said:

"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed upon those before you in order that you may attain taqwa." [Qur’an al-Baqarah 2:183]

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fasting is a shield with which the servant protects himself from the Fire." (Hasan: Ahmad, authenticated by al-Albani in Saheeh ut-Targheeb)

So we should ask ourselves, after each day of fasting: Has this fasting made us more fearful and obedient to Allah? Has it aided us in distancing ourselves from sins and disobedience?

 Seeking Nearness to Allah

"Whosoever reaches the month of Ramadan and does not have his sins forgiven, and so enters the fire, then may Allah distance him." (Ahmad and al-Bayhaqee)

 Acquiring Patience

What is meant by the month of Patience is the month of Ramadan …so fasting is called patience because it restrains the soul from eating drinking, conjugal relations and sexual desires." (At-Tamheed of Al Haafidh ibn Abdul Barr)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"O youths! Whoever amongst you is able to marry, then let him do so; for it restrains the eyes and protects the private parts. But whoever is unable, then let him fast, because it will be a shield for him." (At-Tamheed of Al Haafidh ibn Abdul Barr)

So fasting is a means of learning self-restraint and patience. With patience we are able to strengthen our resolve to worship Allah alone, with sincerity, and also cope with life’s ups and downs. So – for example – with patience we are able to perform our Prayers calmly and correctly, without being hasty, and without merely pecking the ground several times!

With patience we are able to restrain our souls from greed and stinginess and thus give part of our surplus wealth in Zakaah (obligatory charity). With patience we are able to subdue the soul’s ill temperament, and thus endure the ordeal and hardships of Hajj, without losing tempers and behaving badly. Likewise, with patience we are able to stand firm and fight Jihad against the disbelievers, hypocrites and heretics – withstanding their constant onslaught, without wavering and buckling, without despairing or being complacent, and without becoming hasty and impatient at the first sings of hardship. Allah – the Most High – said:

"O Prophet, urge the Believers to fight … So if there are one hundred who are patient, they shall overcome two hundred; and if there be one thousand, they shall overcome two thousand, by the permission of Allah. And Allah is with the patient ones." [Qur’an al-Anfaal 8:65-66].

Thus, without knowledge and patience, nothing remains, except zeal and uncontrolled emotions, shouts and hollow slogans, speech that does not strengthen, but rather weakness, and actions that do not build, but rather destroy! So in this month, we should strive to develop a firm resolve for doing acts of obedience, and to adorn ourselves with patience – having certainty in the saying of our Messenger sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam: "And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with hardship." ( Saheeh: Ahmad, at-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer, authenticated by al-Hilaalee in as-Sabrul Jameel)

Cultivating Good Manners

Fasting is not merely abstaining from eating and drinking. Rather, it is also abstaining from ignorant and indecent speech. So if anyone abuses or behaves ignorantly with you, then say: I am fasting, I am fasting." (Saheeh: Ibn Khuzaymah and al-Haakim, who authenticated it.

Sensing Muslim Unity

As Muslims from all around the world commence Ramadan we realise that we are part of a community our hearts and actions united in pursuing Allah’s pleasure. There are many ahadith mentioning the blessings of breaking the fast together and there is also much reward in feeding a fasting person. So let us unite in this month of Mercy.

So Ramadan – it is that light in the souls of the righteous and the truthful, and in the hearts of the devout and sincere it gives happiness; for it is the month of obedience, and in it there are beautiful reflections for us all. Indeed, it grants victory to the soul over the body and flesh and gives us a wonderful opportunity to straighten ourselves up with our Lord.

During this month of Sha’baan we should find out more about the traditions of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) related to Ramadan and make a sincere effort to implement them this year. We should also try to purify our hearts and intentions before the commencement of Ramadan to make this fast successful for our families and ourselves. Insha’Allah

Ramadan is also an opportunity to renew relationships that may have been broken during the year and we should try and clear up any disputes or bad feelings with other Muslims so we may start this month a fresh.

So we ask Allah to grant us the ability to change ourselves for the better, during this blessed month, and not to be of those who are prevented from His Mercy and Forgiveness. Indeed He is the One who Hears and He is the One to Respond
