Your New Lucky Exam Pen?

Salam alaikum readers..

Jam di tangan kananku menunjukkan pukul 1:12am. Aku sedang mengupdate lagu di halaman blog ku. Stay up malam ni agak kurang produktif memandangkan setelah hampir 3 jam berada di IC aku baru menyiapkan 'Lab report'. sigh..

Sedang aku asyik mendengar lagu-lagu di dalam playlist ku, tiba-tiba
..

heyya, good luck for your exam.. (dia terus berlalu..)

seorang mamat salleh memberikan sebatang pen bertulis ' Your new lucky exam pen'.. berwarna merah. dakwatnya hitam.

Your new lucky exam pen!

Seronok bercampur pelik dan blur sekejap.. reaksi spontanku ketika mendapat pen 'ajaib' itu. (jangan khurafat eh andi!). Ku ingatkan dia memulangkan pen ku yang dikutip di atas lantai. baru saja aku ingin memulangkan pen itu dan memberitahunya..
sorry mate, but its not mine..

lantas kulihat dia berjalan terus ke arah orang-orang lain dan memberikan pen yang sama kepada setiap mereka. eh salah.. ada juga yang tak dapat..ku tersenyum. sambil menaikkan nada suaraku sedikit, ku katakan..

thanks..;)

kenapa tiba-tiba dapat pen ni?

mungkin remeh.. tidak perlu dipersoalkan. Lah, setakat dapat pen. bukannya 'magic' pun. tapi aku melihat ini sebagai suatu bentuk teguran supaya aku fokus kembali. (andi, study !)


ingat sekolah, ingat rumah,
tiket pulang sudah beli,
ingat homework, ingat exam,
study belum habis lagi..


baiklah, teruskan study.

Are You Lucky?

Salam alaikum readers,

Rasulullah saw said:

“How lucky is that man who adopts humbleness without having scarcity,

who considers himself inferior without having to beg for anything,

who spends his own earned money in the right causes without disobeying Allah,

who is kind to those having little means, and
who remains in the company of learned men.”
[Tibrani]

In this hadith we are told who an enviable person is:

1. A person who is humble despite having that which makes people proud.
2. A person who earns and spends in the path of Allah.
3. A person who is kind to those less privileged.
4. A person who benefits from the companionship of the learned.

Having wealth does not make one lucky; but having earned it honestly, by one's own hands and, moreover, having spent it on those things which earn Allah's pleasure, while obedient to Allah swt, are what entitles one to be counted among the lucky.

Wealth that is accompanied by arrogance and ignorance (ignorance of what will earn Allah's pleasure), is extremely unlucky.

Can you count yourself lucky?

ask yourself.

Thats it for now.

Wallahualam

Wassalam.
