reminder..

إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا

Indeed, mankind was created anxious..

إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعً۬ا

When evil touches him, impatient..

وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلۡخَيۡرُ مَنُوعًا 

and when good touches him, withholding [of it]

 [al-Ma'arij:19-21]

A common 'attitude' develop inside the societies.. people often whine, complain, anxious for everything that they face each day..

When one is been tested with difficulties, hardship.. rarely will one give thanks for the One who had chosen him to face it.. 

what we often hear is just complaints.. be it to the person they are closed with or just any guy it just met in a bus.. 

Holding a faith as a Muslim, we surely want to avoid being the one who kept on whining continuously..

But how..? yes.. how or what should be done for us to dismiss this kind of unacceptable attitude that perhaps develop in ourselves here.. 

the answer has always been to us all this while..

since He created us, and the best Observer of each of our sec..

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِٱلۡمِرۡصَادِ  

Indeed, your Lord is ever watchful..

فَأَمَّا ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَٮٰهُ رَبُّهُ ۥ فَأَكۡرَمَهُ ۥ وَنَعَّمَهُ ۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكۡرَمَنِ

As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and bounties, then he says (in): "My Lord has honoured me." 

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبۡتَلَٮٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقَهُ ۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ

But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!" 

[al-Fajr:14-16]

it is no doubt that we are 24-hours being watched by Him..

and indeed, He knows the best way for His servants to rebounce itself back to him.. only by one essential way..

yup, no other than thru prayer..

it seem like a simple thing..

prayer.. things that we have already been obligated to do at least 5 times daily.. thus, its not that hard..

does it..??

well.. if its that easy, that simple.. 

one have to ask itself back again..

after all these while.. perform the 5 times daily prayer.. never missed, not even once..

did it ever occur to us, the times when we start to be anxious of things that had been occuring to us..?

even a slight trigger from the heart do counts..

if it does happen..

we need to ask ourselves.. did we really perform the best prayer to Him..

did we do it truthfully, sincerely for Him.. 

or it was done becoz it had always been in our schedule of life..

for, if one says it had did the best prayer it could ever give to Him..

but then, its heart do trigger at the strike from above..

think..and think again..

for sincerly, it should never had..

juz as what He mention in the continual of surah Ma'arij mentioned ealier..

إِلَّا ٱلۡمُصَلِّينَ 

Except the observers of prayers..

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِہِمۡ دَآٮِٕمُونَ 

Those who are constant in their prayers..  

 [al-Ma'arij:19-21]

just a worthwhile. short reminder..

for the writer and the readers who concerns,,
