Pinjaman

Having conversation with neighbor next door last two nights was so much informative. We talk about a lot of things, from her kids’ lives to her work job scopes. Although the difference of our ages is less more 10 years, but we conversate pretty well. Almost 2 hours chatting, I was attracted to one topic which only last about 5 final minutes of meaningful conversation that lead me to write for the next entry – pinjaman or LOAN. 


Not to brag about housing loan or financial loan, but more to loan as human being, what God, Allah almighty had and has lent, or still lending us. We, you and they, me, all of us, cats and pets, fish in the sea, birds on trees, millions other creatures on this planet – is being lent by Allah.

She said to me, “Nuha, kita tak payah lah nak berlagak dengan apa yang kita ada, anak ke, harta ke, pangkat and all, semua tu Allah yang punya. Kalau Allah nak tarik balik, kita nak cakap apa kan?  Kadang-kadang bila Kak Nisha tengok anak-anak sebelum tidur rasa sebak dan terfikir, kalaulah aku pergi dulu, siapa nak jaga anak-anak? Atau kalau mereka pergi dulu, macam mana pulak? Dah memang Allah pinjamkan kat kita, Dia yang punya, menangis pun tak guna…..”

We should bear in mind that what we have, parents, siblings, husband, wife, kids, grandkids etc. are not ours, they are immortal, they even can disappear or die, if God willing. Even, too, our health, or part of our body will be taken back, as we grow grays, eyesight, hearing, etc. they all will decay gradually.

Thus, we do not have to blow one’s own horn or sing one’s own praises about what we have, wealth, health, family, positions or achievements you’ve scored. Anytime all those leisure will be retracted sooner or later, because initially, it’s all coming back to Him. Let say, you’re the most brightest son in the family, genius among the students, best workers in the industry, and you’re snobbish though and if Allah the Most Rightful, wanna show His righteousness, in split second He can make you lost your memory. What you left? Nothing. Might be you don’t even recognize your own mother.

Therefore, appreciate what we have today, embrace the people around us without neglecting those who are less fortunate and walk down to earth with a humble heart, knowing Allah is almighty and Most Merciful is always watching us.

Thank you Allah, Alhamdulillah – all praises to Allah.

[4]Dia lah yang telah menciptakan langit dan bumi dalam enam masa, kemudian Ia bersemayam di atas Arasy; Ia mengetahui apa yang masuk ke bumi serta apa yang keluar daripadanya; dan apa yang diturunkan dari langit serta apa yang naik padanya. Dan Ia tetap bersama-sama kamu di mana sahaja kamu berada, dan Allah Maha Melihat akan apa yang kamu kerjakan. [5]Dia lah sahaja yang menguasai dan memiliki langit dan bumi; dan kepada Allah jualah dikembalikan segala urusan. [Surah Al-Hadiid: 4 & 5]


Wallahu'alam..
