Worst Case Scenario...

"beristighfar bila pendapat kita diterima... dan bersykur bila ditolak"...

yezza... sounds weird right?... but thats the lesson i learnt yesterday...

Firstly it sounded weird to me... And when i started to understand and look "into it", i can see the beauty of it... its actually means on how life should be going... Expect for worse, play safe now than sorry later...as life always ties back wth life after death...what we do today doesn't ends here...it goes BEYOND...

Most of the time we are very into a PURRRRFECT life... whattt?... handbag haruss GUCCI atau LV, jam haruss ROLEX atau TAG, kereta mesti BM atau HONDA, sampaikan anak tudung pasti Arzu atau Ariani...atau FENDI...(whattt???... FENDI dah keluarkan inner ker?...) i mean to tht extend of PURR~~~FECTION people are currently craving for... until all sorts of income generating job sounds so TEMPTING... and people is generating business network via creating the trend and igniting envy-NESS upon others...so that, human whom always seek for PERFECTION will get easily influenced...

Yeahhh, maybe most of us wud say, wats wrong with it?... some wud say those who says tht this is wrong probably are in high degree of jealousy mode until they dare giving such remarks...

But to me (as in my personal opinion occay, nothing sentiment here please...), i wud say, how i wish the same degree of perfection being adopted to other areas of life... after all, life ain't purely on watches you wear, handbags you carry, or car u drive... its BEYOND all that...So if one is seeking perfection in material, so must be in the areas of Aqeedah, Ibadah and Muammalah...

It is so sad when people tend to take those "invisible" areas of life for granted...people can be so particular about those things of them tht "visible" to others as this portray their so-called "image"... but not wanting to be so perfect on things "not being seen" and forgetting tht thts the area Allah gauge most...

This might not be too relevant from the phrase i shared on "beristighfar bila pendapat kita diterima... dan bersykur bila ditolak"... earlier. But its actually something tht cud help us in polishing our "inner perfection". Things we can practice to achieve perfection for our "inside" and "within"...

Usually, the norm is always, we feel honored when our so-called brilliant ideas are being accepted and it's rather frustrating and we feel not needed when its being turned-down. Tats human, thats us and thats me too... nothing sounds so weird.

But, Islam is actually encouraging us the other way round... yes we can be "ambitious"... its encouraged too... but to certain extend, "tawakkal" has to over-rulled. Especially in areas tht beyond our control, uncertain things or anything involves others.

This is very relevant when we are coming from the point where we share what "we think" and propose, but we cant struggle hard to make it acceptable because something we think is good might not be good to others.
Or if we were able to persuade people to accept us today, thngs might not be acceptable later, and the blame will get back to us.

So i can see the truth in the phrase is actually wanting us to play safe and taught us on how to accept "rejection". It is trying to instill the value that rejection is aint tht bad anyway. Better not being accepted now rather than we being burdened with the consequences of being "unnecessarily accepted" later when things do not work-out as how we want.

So guys, are we ready to live in imperfection?....(living in rejection isn't a perfect life right???...but if its for our own good, why NOT??:))

Tepuk dada laa....
