"Dan jadikanlah dirimu sentiasa berdamping rapat dengan orang-orang yang beribadat kepada Tuhan mereka pada waktu pagi dan petang, yang mengharapkan keredhaan Allah semata-mata; dan janganlah engkau memalingkan pandanganmu daripada mereka hanya kerana engkau mahukan kesenangan hidup di dunia; dan janganlah engkau mematuhi orang yang kami ketahui hatinya lalai daripada mengingati dan mematuhi pengajaran kami di dalam Al-Quran, serta ia menurut hawa nafsunya, dan tingkah lakunya pula adalah melampaui kebenaran."
Al-Kahfi: ayat 28
Alhamdulillah...until now Allah surrounds me with a lot of good people. They bring and give me blessings and teach me to live this life meaningfully.
Perubahan pada diri banyak didorong oleh orang-orang di keliling aku, mostly by my friends. Lima tahun belajar dalam kelas aliran agama really encouraged me to change from a good to better person than before. I remember one of the changes happened in 2010. I started to wear socks and soon, before I further my study in Form Six, I started to wear handsocks. No one forced me to change. Changes that I made, Alhamdulillah...Allah bagi hidayah dan kesedaran through the great attitude of people around me. You know what...they (my friends, my classmates yang lagi alim dari segi penampilan) treated me nicely. They didn't criticized or questioned why I didn't wear tudung labuh, socks and handsocks. Ustazah-ustazah also treated me nicely. From this...I really believed that someone can change to be a better person more efficiently through our great attitude.
Berdakwah dengan tunjuk teladan dan amalkan sikap yang baik.
In shaa Allah...orang lebih mudah lembut hati dan diberi kesedaran untuk berubah :)
Although the changes that I made were a little bit slow and took step but Alhamdulillah...I can istiqamah (maintain) until now.
Then...in 2013, I started to wear tudung labuh. That changes happened after abah came back from Makkah, performed his umrah. Abah had slow-talk with me.
Abah said, "Kak su dah janji dengan abah nak pakai tudung labuh. (sebenarnya aku tak pernah berjanji pun. Hee...Abah saja kata dengan ekspresi muka yang agak serius)
Dosa kak su...abah yang tanggung."
Honestly, at that time memang aku tak ready lagi nak pakai tudung labuh. Tak macam perubahan penampilan yang aku buat dulu (wear socks and handsocks). But, the statement "dosa kak su...abah yang tanggung" buat aku berubah untuk pakai tudung labuh walaupun hati sedikit memberontak.
It's not easy to change ourselves. Either dari segi penampilan or sikap. But, it becomes easier when we already have intention to change. When we intend to change and wanna become a better person than before, Allah make an easy way for us to do so. Cuz...in any situation, Allah is always there for us :)
Bila tengok/muhasabah diri pasai akhlak, I also encouraged to practice good habits from people around me. Pray solat sunat dhuha, recite Al-Kahfi on Friday, perform sujud syukur after solat fardhu. Tu antara amalan baik dan terpuji yang aku dapat daripada sahabat-sahabat rapat aku, and until now aku still struggle buat semua tu sebagai amalan (yes... sometimes, aku buat. Sometimes, aku tak buat. Iman naik turun. Hmm...doakan aku.)
If people ask me, what's make me to change?
The answer is kalau orang lain boleh buat, kenapa aku tak boleh dan tak nak buat?
Kenapa kita mesti nak cari alasan untuk berubah?
There's a friend said,
"Kadang-kadang, nak berubah kena paksa diri. Paksa diri buat walaupun tak berapa ikhlas. Lama-lama, in shaa Allah...hang akan rasa pelik dan tak senang duduk kalau hang tak buat."
