Close your eyes.
Lift your right hand and placed it on your left chest.
Feel the weight of your right hand.
Slowly, feel the beating of your heart.
Talk to your heart."
We did this for a mere 3 minutes but if the Ustaz were to prolong it longer, I bet little droplets would fall instead. An activity we did yesterday in class. The path to knowing yourself always starts with the heart. Alhamdulillah, by attending the class I am more clear of my focus in life. Of my needs and of the unwanted distractions brought in this worldly life. We are no saint. I am no saint. Because it is just human nature to be who we are with imperfections. But if we put in the effort to be better, Insyallah, things will smooth-en out itself.
If last week's topic was about the past and leaving it behind, this week's topic is about the future. How we should not let the provision of the futures become an attachment that leads us in forgetting Him. How true. Whatever we or rather I, have done till now, is to worry about the future. But I have since forgotten that, things will never be permanent. We work hard to save all the money that we want for the future that we forgo His command at times, but do we really know what is going to happen to us in the next second? So live in the moment and worry less about the future. The future will take care of itself. And always remember His blessings.
Last week we talked about the past. To be able to move on, one needs to forgive and forget. It may be hard, but I will make an effort to do both and not just one (women tends to forgive easily but never forget). And in order for me to do both, I would need to let go of certain things in life. Only then will I truly, truly, be able to forgive and forget completely. And be at peace. I know I will hurt a lot of people, but I seek your forgiveness and understanding.
Alhamdulillah.
In spite of everything, Alhamdulillah.
Yours Truly, HASYiMAH
