Often we hear people spreading such ‘myth’ about how we are supposed to not to bother about other people’s life. But the thing is, our society have become so individualistic that people don’t even talk to their neighbor next door, there are even people who don’t know their neighbor being murdered until a smelly smells comes from the house next door.

If in Islam, we are encourage to remind each other,to warn each other in a manner which is constructive not just criticizing without any suggestions on how to improve their state – else that’s just some purposely attempts to downgrade the other,even towards the non muslims its not exceptional, we are to tell them about Islam even if its one ayat/word. Instead,most of us kept mum, afraid because we know that what in ourself is not enough,so what?

Tell what you know already & at the same time learn what you don’t know. We don’t need to wait to be some ‘ustaz/ustazah’ (religious people) to tell other people about Islam, we are muslims for God sakes!

After such a long journey, hustle and bustle at the check-in counter and now, short notice for a delayed flight for at least 6 hours??  Huh, no no, I don’t want to talk to anyone right now. Away from family and friends, I was so emotionally and physically exhausted. Hopefully Allah would ease my journey.  While queuing at the departure gate, all of sudden, an old man (in his late 40s perhaps) asked me from behind, “Are you going to London?” I just answered his question and walked straight to the hall. Find a good place to sit and relax and insyaAllah, the journey would be just fine…

And the Siamese guy sat at the same row but luckily, he didn’t sit next to me. He tried to start the conversation. Frankly speaking, I didn’t fully focus or respond to his question, I was so tired. But when he suddenly asked about my hijab, it made me awake. “You’re going to answer the questions about Islam, be alert! Your responds will give perception about Islam to him,” I speak to myself.

MENGHADAPI MASALAH KESIHATAN

Firman Allah S.W.T.:

“Wahai anak-anak Adam! Pakailah pakaian kamu yang indah berhias pada tiap-tiap kali kamu ke tempat ibadat (atau mengerjakan sembahyang) dan makanlah serta minumlah dan jangan pula kamu melampau; sesungguhnya Allah tidak suka akan orang-orang yang melampaui batas.” (Maksud Surah al-A’raf (7):31).

After three previous entries, i have come to the last entry regarding marriage. In the last two entry, i have given a few tips on building a happy family. However, i have to remind you, the tips are not foolproof. What i have written, it is all based on my observations of my own parent and a few oather acquaintances of mine.

Again, I remind you, all the tips are not guaranteed sure-fire methods that will AUTOMATICALLY give you a happy married life. Maybe you have put all the efforts into your marriage, but it still falls apart. After all, we do not know what is the plan of our Creator for us. As what people says, hidup, mati dan jodoh di tangan Tuhan. It is all written down by Him.

This is where the last thing comes into play. And for me, it is the most important aspects of every marriage. Divine Intervention.

Pardon, but did you just say divine intervention will help build a successful relationship with your husband/wife? Are you sure?

To be able to give, first you have to treasure her first. You said you love her right? So isn’t that already a REALLY good reason for you to treasure your wife? This is where the second thing I believe comes in. Good communication.

Make effort to be interested in her. If she works, ask her about her days at the office. Listen to what she says. If she complains, take notice, even if it is about the most mundane thing like how the patients keep asking for antibiotics even though she had diagnosed them with viral fever. If she is a housewife, ask her how her day has been, and whether there is anything you can help with the chores. Ask her opinion in making any decision, it will show how much you appreciate her presence. Be a democratic leader, not a tyrant. She will appreciate that.

In my previous entry, I sounded like someone who does not believe marriage will bring you happiness, right? Or worse, I sounded like someone who does not believe in marriage at all. Thankfully, it’s the total opposite of that. In fact I plan to marry earlier, rather than later. Maybe next summer perhaps?

What i am trying to tell you in the previous entry is that marriage is not a guarantee of a blissful life. It is a start to a life where all the problems that you and your partner face are now shared with each other. It is HOW you deal with the problems that will steer you towards either a happy life or an unhappy one.
