Be happy!

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Title: Be Happy!

" Ask most people what they want out of life and the answer is simple - to be happy. Maybe it’s this expectation of wanting to be happy that just keeps us from ever getting there. Maybe the more we try to will ourselves to states of bliss, the more confused we get - to the point where we don’t recognize ourselves. Instead we just keep smiling - trying to be the happy people we wish we were. Until it eventually hits us, it’s been there all along. Not in our dreams or our hopes but in the known, the comfortable, the familiar. "

But I can't be perfect.

I think what I have learnt most is that, I will never be perfect. Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, than to be just okay for the rest of your life? Bad things are always going to happen in life. People will hurt you. But you can't use that as an excuse, to hurt someone back.

I may have been hurt. But I've never believed in revenge. Although, I do stand up for what is right, I only stand for what is clearly right by the syariah and I don't go any further than that. I'll make my statement known, and then I will just walk away. I'm never in for a revenge. Friends & family, would think that I'm weak, and that I'm being stupid for letting the matter rest, without plotting a revenge. Perhaps, they believe in this 'a-tit-for-a-tit' theory, but hey, I don't believe in such a theory at all!

The Prophet Muhammad s.a.w mentioned: Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well, you will treat them well. And if they do wrong, you will do wrong. But instead, do accustom yourselves to do good if people do good. And do not do wrong, even if they do evil to you. - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1325 -

I don't believe in revenge, because I believe in the sayings of my Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, more than I believe in logic. People may think that I am weak for letting people walk all over me, but they're wrong. Why? Because I have a weapon. And that is; patience. But I think I have a weapon that is even stronger than that. And that is; faith(eeman). And to top that all, I have an ultimate source of weapon that could allow miracles to happen. And that is doa; because verily, doa' is the greatest weapon of a believer. Together, with eeman, patience, and doa', I can brave through anything. Can't you see? I'm still standing strong, as strong as I can be. So how can I possibly lose a battle?

Anywayssss, come what may, I'll keep reminding myself to be happy. Do good, and be good. There is not a need for a revenge, and I don't want the feeling of hatred to get the better of me. Life's like that, so what could you possible expect? This is just dunya man, it's dunyaaaaa yo!

So, peaceeeeee! [=
