Salam Everyone :) Been so long! hope live being nice to you as they are to me. More than nice by the way, it's unexpected! Many stories haven't shared and... lil'bit confuse where to start :''3 hihi

Jumat pagi ini selepas shubuh tiba di beberapa ayat Qur'an Surat Al-Hud. Ayatnya reminder banget and I want to share yo what I have red so hopefully we can remember it together 

It's on verses 15 & 16

"Barangsiapa menghendaki kehidupan dunia & perhiasannya, pasti Kami berikan (balasan) penuh atas pekerjaan mereka di dunia (dengan sempurna) dan mereka tidak akan dirugikan."

"Itulah orang-orang yang tidak memperoleh sesuatu di akhirat kecuali neraka, dan sia-sialah di sana apa yang telah mereka usahakan (di dunia) dan terhapuslah apa yang mereka kerjakan."

Ketika Irna baca itu yang Irna fikirkan adalah Allah akan memerikan kita apapun yang kita usahakan di dunia, apa yang kita cari susah payah di dunia. We work for money, for a proud life, or richness, we will get it as we do for it, see: "pasti Kami berikan balasan penuh atas pekerjaan mereka di dunia dengan sempurna, dan mereka di dunia tidak akan dirugikan."

But after that, the next verse is "Itulah orang-orang yang tidak memperoleh sesuatu di akhirat kecuali neraka." dan sia-sia disana apa yang telah mereka usahakan. So we search for dunya; we get it but we don't get akhirat. Sedangkan kehidupan kita yang kekalnya ada di akhirat since in dunya will be very short.Irna jadi ingat kata-kata dari Aa Gym; "Bila kita mengejar dunia, akhirat pasti akan meninggalkannya. Tapi bila mengejar akhirat (akhirat tujuannya), maka dunia akan mengikutinya!"

So what I have got, the point is.. everything we do, we work for live in dunya, it's supposed to be for akhirat. Untuk beramal as Qur'an thought. Everytime I start to work must be as my pray to Allah. "Kerjaku sebagai ibadah untukMu, karena perintahMu kepadaku untuk mencari karuniaMu, karena aku ingin banyak berbuat kebaikan untk akhiratku, banyak beramal dan beribadah seperti perintahMu kepadaku.. so I start by Your name, Ikhlas, and I will always remember You My Rabb even I have many works to do, I will put shalat at number one as a prove that I do all the things for YOU." So we can get dunya without loose akhirat inshaaAllah. Mungkin itu sebabnya kenapa bahasan "niyat" selalu menjadi dasar dan yang paling utama. Inna a'malu binniyat.. sesungguhnya setiap amal perbuatan bergantung pada niyatnya. Ketika niat kita untuk Allah yag tertinggi, we will get everything. Seperti ayat tadi juga, Allah memberi sesuai apa yang kita kerjakan, kita tidak akan rugi di dunia. Dan alangkah beruntungnya jika apa yang kita usahakan di dunia, yang kerjakan di dunia kita luruskan lagi niatnya untuk Allah, lillahita'ala, untuk beribadah, inshaAllah Allah berikan balasan terbaik, siap merajut kesuksesan hakiki yang tidak hanya kita rasakan di dunia saja tapi di kehidupan kita nanti yang sesungguhnya. aamiin.. ihdinashshiraatal mustaqim..Bimbinglah kami ke jalan yang lurus, Ya Allah.

And then after that I red Al-Kahfi and also arrived in an verse which is really connected,

"Sesungguhnya Kami telah menjadikan apa yang ada di bumi sebagai perhiasan baginya, untuk menguji mereka, siapakah yang terbaik amal perbuatannya."

 

Hallo assalamu'alaikum there! thank you for coming and good evening, I have a BIG thing to share, may be some people know already what's that about.. yes, it's about my THESIS, my THESIS DEFENSE and I GRADUATEEEE! Can't believe that I'm not a student anymore huaaaaa! :''') but by the way I am not ready for that topic, today I have something to share well it's sharing time! :)

I have a morning chitchat with my friend. We're talking about tea..

O    : make your teatime like a beautiful break from the hectic world
me  : my world now is  "a break-world" :p
O    : hahaha ur world is just fine, isn't it?
me  : standard :I
O    : If you said standard, I might say my life is standard too
me  : you will feel "my life is wonderful" if..what?

- - - - -

Well, that starting topic. You will feel that your life is wonderful if what?
having a great job or bussines, lots of money, pretty and shalihah wife or admiring husband, nice house, a driver, cute children, many things :)
but as my friend said, "that's not what makes people happy actually because there will always a "want" after a "want" has fulfilled, and the "want" growing bigger and higher and there's no end in it." RIGHT! and my friend continue, "gratitude. Being "orang yang pandai bersyukur" will makes me saying, "my life is wonderful!" it's up to Him giving what He wants. For I know He knows the best for me."
See, Just simply the word "gratitude", will make people say "my life is wonderful". (ps; 'gratitude feeling' is not about saying "alhamdulillah" and that's all. I'm sure it won't make you say that you life is wonderful. But grtitude is more than that. It's about the feeling.)
When you feel grateful,
the real grateful,
however the condition,
even if you have no money,
you are poor,
what will you feel?
you will feel um..like you wanna cry or even you really cry. It's not because you feel that your life is wonderful BUT...
"Oh GOD YOU're so wonderful Maa Syaa ALLAH.. all praises to YOU."
It's not about your life anymore, but your GOD! after you feel that GOD is so much wonderful, then you realize that you have done nothing to your GOD, and it will courage you to pray more and get closer and closer to HIM, and then you feel so close with HIM, THAT IS! 

THAT what WONDERFUL is. (for me, may be we should try to prove it.)

So when I say that my life is standard, I feel like my life being not really close with HIM. May be the right word is not standard but "hampa". Shalat just get shalat, not read Qur'an as much as my heart want/need, or not doing something useful. When I flashback to the part of my life when I'm feel so happy or wonderful, what I remember is when I cried in a shalat and after shalat just because I surrender my self, my whole world to HIM. It's when I felt that I have nobody that I can surrender, even the closest person in my life, when I'm feel so alone and can't ask any help to anyone but Allah. Not when I have lots of money, not when I can buy anything I want, really.. Oh it was wonderful :'
when we crying just because we really surrender a whole thing in life to Allah who created us, we said, Oh Allah I'm so grateful that I belongs YOU, only YOU, YOU created me, so I surrender my WHOLE LIFE to YOU, only to YOU, YOU make me live in this world, so Guided me to become a person that you love in this world, I'm nothing without YOU, make me close to YOU.. innashalati, wa nusuki, wa mahyaya, wamamati, LILLAHirabbil'alamin.. my shalat, my pray, my life, my death, IT'S ALL FOR YOU... LORD of the Universe...

"A Wonderful things can be found even in the darkest of times if we remembers to turn on the light."
the light of what? We all know :)

In every condition, grateful. Feel the gratitude.
Syukur membawa kita pada kebesaran Allah, lalu kita merasa tak ada apa-apanya, karena itu kita meningkatkan kedekatan kita kepadaNya, lalu kita merasakan nikmatnya mendekat padaNya, nikmatnya berpasrah kepadaNya, and it's wonderful.

Have a Wonderful life.
See you.. :)

Salam everyone. :) This morning is the very good morning to start my new day. Hope for you too. I do believe that prays from the parents in the morning will make the day much better. So for you who have a 'long distance' with your mom and dad, call them in the morning and ask their prays, trust me that will charge up your spirit on that day. :) Moreover when your day started with the pray of Shubuh and reading Al-Quran after that..ah, beautiful. .since there is a hadist said that if you read Al-Quran in the morning it's better than a hundred rakaat of shalat. Feel the difference when yo do it and do not.

This morning I have a chitchat with my mom and also with one of my new friend. By the way I have some new friends, most of them are knowing me from this blog. So that's why I love to have a blog, we can make a friends, and share many things; lessons, thoughts, many more :)

I wanna write some of our (me and mom) conversation this morning, And I hope this will be a du'a when you read this hehehe :)

mama : "Semoga mama panjang umur bisa lihat irna sukses. Bahagiain semua keluarga..aamiin
Irna    : aamiin Ya Rabbal'alamin..
mama : "Dari mulai Irna di kandung, sampai sekarang mama terus berdoa buat Irna.."
Irna   : :'') Semoga bisa bahagiain mama disini dan di akhirat ya mah... Orang tua bagi anak yang belajar dan mengajarkan Al-Quran, sama Allah akan dibanggakan di akhirat, dikasih jubah kemuliaan.. Semoga Irna bisa ngasih itu buat mamah dan apa(papa).. dibanggakan Allah dihadapan seluruh makhluk..
mama : "aamiin.. kan mama juga inget waktu Irna di perut mama berdoa, Ya Allah semoga anak yang dikandung menjadi jembatan aku ke Surga. Itu salah satu doa mama buat Irna..Allahuakbar, aamiin Yaa Rabbal'alamin."
Irna : "aamiin.. :'(" (kind of speechless since I am still becoming this kind of girl, still too far..)
mama : "iya syg..bidadari mamah yang shaleh.." (mom said me shaleh not shalehah.. hehe.. :') )

How this great du'a can't make my day? It's so powerful words even the way she said is full of the softness. So everyone, have a great day! say my greet to your parents :) See you.
