Life is a scream

Sometimes its a scream of fright. And at times it's a scream of delight. What ever it is, whenever it is, if we can remain calm at all time, and maintain the state of joy and peacefulness in times of adversary or happiness, that would be the ultimate contentment in life.

Life is full of challenges and a series of 'tests'. As someone told me, it is only lesson learnt when we turn a mistake into an experience. And use the experience to our advantage. Afterall, it happened for a reason.

Allah promises us that along with the hardship there is ease (surah Al-Inshirah 94:5-6). Therefore, we must make every step we take relevant to where we are going. (refer to earlier post "New Year Resolution")

But then again, many of us turn to Allah only in times of calamity or pain where as Allah little tests are beyond that. More often than not we would forget ourselves or our 'pledge' when we "have it all".

Just as a reminder to us all, one our pledge that we make at least 5 times a day in our prayer is:
"In deed my solah,my ibadah, my life, my death, is for Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (all that exist/sekian alam) - Dua Iftitah.

If we can keep to our word and keep reminding ourselves of those words, then we are on the right track.

InsyaAllah.....
