TGIF y'all! i survived a week in my new environment! bajet cam battling in some kind of war je poyonye. biar, saya xpeduli. weehoo. to my surprise, there will be a tazkirah session every Friday morning here in Sapura Energy. i was like, wow, that's good great! hey im not being sarcastic here mokay? i really feel that's a good way to gather everyone around and share some thoughts that are not about workloads. and a great way of giving reminders. i think this should be implemented in, if not all, most of the offices in malaysia. they should they should. especially the ones that are all (or mostly) with Muslim staff. eh even non also can join. no problemo what. just to share some info.
so what did the tazkirah for today was all about? TAKABUR. yep that's the word. which means, in malay, sifat riak or as what Sarizal explained, the attitude of being arrogant and dont want to accept the truth. it was a nice and interesting topic chosen as it implies in our being. dont tell me that there was never a moment when you felt like you were better than everyone. tipu tipu nih. and he explained nicely about the history of takabur, the reasons, how to avoid yadda yadda (xingat sebenarnye. haha). so lemme ask you guys, when was the first time ever, takabur exists?
*10secs is up*
when Allah asked Iblis to bow to Nabi Adam and he refused. Iblis said, "why should I bow to a creature who was made by soil where i was made by fire?". see, Iblis being takabur. and the first takabur human is...?
*5secs is up*
when Qabil's sacrifice was not selected because he was not that sincere in his giving to Allah. and still he said he deserved it better than Habil. and plus, he committed the first murder in human history.
anyway, yeah, there were lots more but i couldnt really recall all of them. not that i wasnt paying attention eh. oh oh now i remember. Sarizal also said that there are three stages. the first one is takabur, which is highly not recommended to be applied in our life. the second one is tawaddu' which is the perfect and right way to be followed. the last one is pessimistic which is also not a good choice. basically, to not being takabur doesnt mean we have to be pessimist, like, not having any confident in self, letting others picking on you all the time, always giving up and sort of things. been said so many times that in life, balancing is the most important. you cannot 31 been praying and you also cannot 24-7 been working. work as if you gonna live for another thousand years and pray as if you gonna die tomorrow. well, not saying im good. im learning and still wna learn more to be a better person, a better muslimah, a better daughter and the best girlfriend (haha).
so i guess im gonna stop now as i need to take out my truffle from my ovens so that i can beat my syg in baking life. hua hua hua. eh maen la. besstttt.
till next time guys. oh i will try my best to give an input in my blog after every tazkirah. at least, ade la gak good things from here other than anger and loveydovey. hua hua hua.
tutuuuuu
haaa baru teringat. Allah gives us two ears and only one mouth. why? because He wants us to listen more than to talk. and Jews knew ady about the existence of Nabi Muhammad SAW and they knew that Nabi Muhammad SAW was the right one because they studied the kitabs. but since Nabi Muhammad SAW was not Jews, they refused to accept him eventhough they knew he was the one. this is also a takabur example, refusing the truth. there are sooo many other examples in takabur. should try and google. Sirah is always one of my fav subjects!
