When the clock strike 11.30 my eyes automatically get sleepy. Maybe my body just get use to it, trying to put a stop to what I am doing. Closing all the books that I am working at and arranging it neatly at the corner of my desk, I hope to continue the unfinished business tomorrow, insya Allah.
When I am on my bed, my eyes just couldn't sleep. I guess because of the coffee I drank just now. Agh it makes me frustrated!! I am yawning yet I couldn't sleep. Maybe I should get up and continue what I am doing just now, but I just resist to do it, I should continue tomorrow. Enough for today, I told myself. Then I remembered a story about one of the sahabat I once read. (I couldn't find the exact story, this is part of it. Insya Allah we'll get the ibrah of it)
"There was one leader years ago. He was doing his job when his daughters came in. They told their father that they tomorrow is Eidul Fitri yet they don't have anything to wear. After that, the lovely daughters went out and his servant suggest him to borrow money from Baitul Mal first and pay it back later. Masya Allah, even a great leader don't have enough money to but new clothes to celebrate this special day. Then he replied, "Could you guarantee that I still live tomorrow to pay the debt"."
Subhanallah, He lives today like tomorrow never exist. But what I am hoping is I still have another chance to continue it tomorrow. Knowing that we will die one day, will lead us to live in a right way hoping for ONLY His blessing en everything we do. Death is the final ending of human. When roh live our body, our hope of changing to be a better person will remain as a dream. Our planned in the future is all terminated. Nothing can be done after that. it is either we regret it now or later. Thinking of the unknown coming death really scares me, what am I going to be at then end? Will I have 'husnul khatimah' @ a good ending? Will I be able to present my self the best as I could? Will He grant me with His Jannah? Wallah a'lam. None of the answer will be known before the day of truth came. All I can do is plan for the best and work out the plan.
As a human we need to plan the best for the future. Just like when our prophet Yusuff ave interpretation of the King's dream. Allah mention in the Quran, "
"[(Yûsuf (Joseph)] said: "For seven consecutive years, you shall sow as usual and that (the harvest) which you reap you shall leave it in ears, (all) - except a little of it which you may eat."
"Then will come after that, seven hard (years), which will devour what you have laid by in advance for them, (all) except a little of that which you have guarded (stored)" [Yusuf,12:47-48]
Remembered of that, it is important for us to plan ahead. Just like Yusuf planned for the coming drought. But I must remember to always tajdid (refresh) my intention; that everything I do is hoping for His Blessing. If not everything will be a waste.
Finally yet the most important. we know that we can only plan and the ending is up to the Master Plan above. After all, He will decide everything and everything that happen is the best that can happen.
Then my heart is at ease, and my eyes are now ready to sleep. I prayed for His forgiveness and pray that if tomorrow come, may it be better that today, ameen. Good night
