Aida Gets Deep: Time

By Time.
(Verily!) man is in loss,
Except those who have faith and do righteous deeds, and enjoin one another to [follow] the truth, an enjoin one another to patience. [Quran Surah Al-Asr 103:1-3]

Demi Masa.
Sesungguhnya manusia itu dalam kerugian,
Kecuali orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal soleh dan mereka berpesan-pesan dengan kebenaran serta berpesan-pesan dengan sabar. [Quran Al-Asr 103:1-3]

My Muslim readers,

Have you ever rushed through prayers - because you were late over other 'important' things - that you recite one of the shortest verses you know (the second shortest, to be exact)? And that verse happens to be talking about time?

Ironic, isn't it?

SubhanAllah, indeed Allah reminds His followers in the most subtle ways.

UPDATE! Found this on Facebook. Guess I'm not the only one who feels this way!

Aida Gets Deep: Stay Humble

Source: Google

Yesterday I woke up for work to a whatsapp message that got me really upset.  I will not disclose what happened here because it involves people close to me.

It made me look back to a "quote" I live by...

"When you have nothing, be humble.
When you have everything, stay humble."

If you have a stable job with a stable income, can you 100% guarantee that your company won't throw you out?

If you have a successful business, can you 100% guarantee it will remain so in 5, 10 years (or more)?

If you have a big, luxurious car, can you 100% guarantee it won't get into an accident and burst into flames?

If you have a beautiful family, can you 100% guarantee their good health and safety?

Can you 100% guarantee you'll live past 100 years?

If your answer is yes, I want to meet you.

If no, be humble, and treat people good. Not everyone is as lucky as you.

And not all the time you will be as lucky.

End.
