"You are always cool". Me cool? In what way? "Well, you always do your work quietly no matter what happen". I guess so. I don't want to get mix up in a gossip and leaving my work in order to hear the latest in the grapevine. Muslims are forbidden from spreading bad mouth. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him (p.b.u.h), regards bad mouth like eating the flesh of our own brother. But being a weak human being, I sometimes found myself doing the very same thing. May Allah forgive me.
"Come and eat with us". I just mumbled that I need to finish my work first. Then my friends commented that I am the type that do my work seriously. Well, yes. Our work is our ibadah, something that will give us reward from Allah. Therefore we must perform our work to the highest quality.
Every night when I go to sleep, I like to think that everything that I have done on that day is beneficial for both me and everyone around me. That I have not been selfish on that day and just think of myself only. That I have cook dinner for my family even though it is tedious. That I have suppress my anger over everyone and try to rationalize why people do what they have done - there must be a reason to everything. That I have forgive everyone on that day. Let me sleep in peace for peace belongs to every muslims that trust themselves upon Allah.
May Allah bless us all.
