Assalamualaikum.
Tonight, I wanna talk about time management. I’m so frustrated on how I manage my time these days. I hate the fact that I wasted even just 1 second of my life. Yknow, bila dah buat, baru rasa menyesal. That’s exactly what I felt. I always hope that for every breath that I take, I would do something that is beneficial to me, or to the community. Basically, I hate the fact that I allow myself to waste time.
As we all know, masa itu nikmat dan juga amanah. Masa itu kan Allah yang punya :)
I hope you all know that one of the questions that will be asked in the Hereafter is how we spend our life especially when we’re still young (read: remaja). I bet many of the readers here are in the young-adult category so yeahhh.
I just wanna share my two cents here and hope it does knock some sense in your head and my head too. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I love receiving critics. Don’t worry, I’ll take it positively, insyaAllah.
I wanted to relate this topic with the phrase “janji melayu”, which means selalu gagal menepati janji, or masa. We always use this phrase especially when we made a promise to meet someone at X place at Y time. Now, the reason why the “janji melayu” phrase was created was because obvious la kan melayu ni dah di-stereotype as kaum yang selalu gagal menepati masa. This doesn’t apply to all, I’m sure many of you out there are punctual, but if the shoe fits, wear it.
And bila dah sebut melayu ni, kebanyakannya beragama Islam. Honestly, in my opinion, orang Islam ni tak patut jadi orang yang gagal menepati masa. Instead of kejar masa, patutnya masa yang kejar kita. As cliche as it may sound, I think the major cause of why there are so many people who fails to be punctual is because they’re not punctual when it’s time to meet their God. Yes, I’m talking about prayer here. How many of us actually memang selalu solat diawal waktu? dengar azan je terus drop everything and rush pergi solat. For ___ (your age) years you’ve lived, how many times did you actually prayed on time? Kalau belum pernah, at least try start solat awal waktu sekali sehari. Contoh, hari ni niat nak solat Subuh on time. After lama sikit, solat Subuh and Zuhur on time. Let it be slowly, but surely :) InsyaAllah awak semua kekal istiqamah after tu. As long as you don’t give up, insyaAllah, you’ll know what it’s like to feel so happy to ‘meet’ Him. I bet you’ll even looking forward to meet Him! Lagi best dari jumpa buah hati, serious. After all, He is the King of Love :)
I guess the reason why I’m saying this is because, based on my observation, so far, ramai delay solat. Some delay sebab ada meeting, sebab ada kelas, sebab ada sale, sebab macam2 la. Alasan. Imagine kalau kita tahu bila kita akan mati. Alamak lagi dua hari nak meninggal! Dah cukup ke tak amalan aku nak jumpa dengan Dia nanti? Nanti Dia tanya kenapa aku delay solat aku nak jawab apa? :(
Takmo la gini kan.
So, saya harap post ni dapat memberi sedikit ilmu atau nasihat kepada awak-awak semua.
