Assalamualaikum dear readers,
I really want to share with you a reality that happen to me, us, our family. It is also a prove that Allah is the Most Justice and Most Merciful.
I'm sure most of us have different kind of neighbors, I have two type, immediate neighbors, on my left, and on my right. Both neighbors have different background in terms of educational, nationalities and thinking abilities. One side treat us like we are some kind of garbage and try to bring us apart, blaspheme us, frequently tease us intentionally to make us upset so that they can start a fight, so on and so forth, everything that you can imagine not to have one. But on the other side, they treat us like we are guests to them, always helping, caring, kind-hearted, understanding, humble and adorable family and everything that you can imagine to have a neighbor like that.
Fair enough isn't it?
I believe Allah put us in the middle so that we, our family lives in reality, that you can't get everything that you ever wanted in this world. I believe Allah has planned so well that Allah did not want us to be ungrateful and I strongly believe that this is the way Allah wants to test us and reward us.
By knowing so, actually I really have a great neighborhood. Don't you think? It's just the matter of how you perceive it and how you mentally handle the situation. Obviously my hell-side neighbor is mentally or soul-sick but if we treat them like they treat us, we are just about the same. What we do is we seek protection from Allah.
So, whatever you do or circumstances you are in, it's the matter of how you can change it either you want it to be positive or the other way around.
