Reflection #13: Being A Grateful Servant
Assalamualaikum.
Yes, I have deleted previous post because of two reasons:
1. Someone started to speculate things when reading it. Truthfully, I have no idea that the post will resembles someone which I know nothing about. I am sorry for that coincidence.
2. Envy is not a good feeling. Envy means I am being jealous of what someone's having, which also means that I am not being grateful for what I'm having. I definitely don't want to be an ungrateful servant.
Alhamdulillah.
Allah still gives me the chance to breath even to the moment I type this post. Indeed, being able to breath is one of His gifts. The previous Ramadhan had taught me something; always being thankful even for the troubles you experienced. Yes, people said behind every challenges lie a hikmah (goodness). Along that Holy month, I always thought about my past experiences. The good and the bad. Why Allah sent those trials to me, on those times and places. As my friend said; "Allah still loves you. He wanted you to come back. He missed to hear your voice, saying His name in your prayers and your longing and crying when you ask for His help. Just believe, He loves you so much." When I look back, I'm convinced with her words. Allah always love me. Allah always remember me. Allah always help me. So, why must I am being ungrateful when what I've always received was His love?

"Fabiayyi aala irabbikuma tukazziban." (Ar-Rahman)
This ayat is repeated in the surah, which means; So which of the favours of your Lord that you denied? Really, nothing in this world I can ever denied. Earlier, mum said that she won't allow me to go for solo travel and I feel offended. Now that I'm thinking back, I should be thankful for I still have a mother that loves me and worries so much about me. There's always a bright side for every single things that happened. It is us who wanted to choose either to look at it or the other way round.
Yup, there's always a bright side.
As for now, I pray that Allah will forgive me for my ignorant and ungratefulness. Thank you Allah for everything that You ever gave for me. I will try my best to be the best servant, and also a grateful one. InsyaAllah.
