CERTAINTY
Assalamualaikum.
Its Wednesday, mid of second week in the New Year 2018.
During Christmas and New Year's holiday, I was thinking about what exactly I am looking for in my life? Why I am here? How I end up here? What after this? I am in my 17th month in this journey. Yet, I am still can't live my day to day peacefully. Instead, I keep thinking what have I done since the last 17 months?
Recently, I came to a conclusion that I am lacking certainty in my heart, in my mind and in my action.
Certainty means a firm conviction that something is the case.
Certainty is the mental state of being without doubt.
Certainty is a general air of confidence.
And most importantly and sadly, I am lacking of certainty in what Allah SWT has planned for me.
All of us have faith in Allah, the Angels, the Day of Judgment, but we lack the certainty in Allah SWT.
Life is about making choices on what we should do and what we should not. It's our choice to choose to do good or bad things. We as human have very limited knowledge, we don't even understand about our selves. We don't know which choice is good for us. “Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu padahal ia amat baik bagimu dan boleh jadi pula kamu menyukai sesuatu padahal ia amat buruk bagimu, Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui, - Al Baqarah: 216”
Islam teach us to make dua to Allah SWT, to perform istikharah, asking for His Guidance to guide us to make a wise decision for a better future, and to choose a path that will make us a better person and closer to Him.
Dan kita membuat sesuatu keputusan setelah kita istikhrah pada Allah SWT. Kemudian kita lihat hikmahnya dan kebaikan atas pilihan yang dibuat. Kita pun bersenang hati. Namun ada ketika, ujian datang dalam perjalanan tersebut. Kita mula mempersoalkan semula, kenapa aku memilih jalan ini? Bila datang ke dalam hati bisikan ini, carilah semula asas kenapa kita memilih jalan ini. Letakkan keyakinan kita pada Allah SWT. Bukankah pilihan ini kit abuat setelah kita meminta petunjuk dariNya. Maka yakinlah (be certain) pada perancangan Allah SWT. Mungkin dalam penglihatan kita, apa yg datang itu tidak baik, tapi bagi sisi Allah SWT, itulah yg terbaik bagi kita. Yakinlah (be certain) bahawaAllah SWT punya perancangan yang lebih, Allah SWT telah sediakan sesuatu yg terbaik di penghujung jalan ini. Jalanilah dan harungilah setiap cabaran itu dengan jalan sabar dan solat.
InshaaAllah, di penghujung jalan nanti, kebahagiaan menanti. Allah SWT jualah Yang Maha Berkuasa atas segala sesuatu. Allah SWT sayang pada hambaNya, dan tidaklah Dia hadirkan sesuatu melainkan hadir bersamanya seribu hikmah yang terbaik buat kita. Bersangka baiklah pada setiap yang terjadi kerana sesuungguhnya Allah SWT bersama sangkaan hambaNya.
