Getting Half Way There

Well well well, today is the day. According to Insurance companies, female in Malaysia can live up to age 78 on average. Men are about age 73.

Hence, age of 35 - 39 can be considered as getting half way there. If I look back and reflect at all those years, some moments can make me proud, while some moments can make me feel ashamed of myself. Sometimes I did think, what if I had reacted or acted differently. What if....But then again, we are not supposed to have regrets in our life. What ever happens, happens for a reason. It's part and parcel of growing up, regardless of your stages in life, until the day you die. Ultimate aim must always be - get ready when you are to face your Al-Khaliq - Sang Maha Pencipta.

 

Hadith - "The most brilliant among you is the ones who always remember about death". And what the life is going to be next.

 

Yesterday on IKIM radio, the ustazah said, always remember about your "bekalan" or "pencen akhirat". That's the nicest way of putting it. Hadith - "When a person dies, all his deeds will die with him, except for three things - sedekah jariah, ilmu yg bermanfaat yg diamalkan, dan doa dari anak yg soleh". I did discuss this with Mr. X, I told him that ilmu dan doa can only last for a certain period, but sedekah jariah is the best, since it is the easiest that can be passed from generation to generation. Sedekah is best done when your left hand does not know what your right hand gives away. If you reach this stage, you'll be one of the groups of people who can get great protection from Allah on the day where there is no other protection (in Padang Mahsyar).

 

Wow wee....the deeper we reflect, the more we feel that we have not done enough. There are so many gaps that need to be filled.

 

The best doa to ask for Ustaz says:

1. Ampunkan dosa.
2. Berikan rahmat.
3. Luaskan rezeki.
4. Berikan kesihatan yg baik.

 

Ya Allah, ampunilah dosaku, berikan rahmat kepadaku, luaskanlah rezeki ku dan berikan aku kesihatan yg baik supaya aku boleh buat kebajikan dan amalan yg lebih byk lagi. Aminnnnn........
