ALLAH IS THE BEST OF ALL PLANNERS

 

I was talking about this topic last night with my friend.

"Rasa macam dah terlambat juga kan awak.."

I smiled.

I've also thinking in that way before.

I’ve always been the kind of boy/girl who puts so much pressure on myself to move with my age – and I’ve been lucky Alhumdullilah, for the most part.

But I've come to a place in my life where things are not going according to my plans. 

And I’ve come to realise that not everything can be planned for. Not everything turns out as planned and that we can plan all we want, but Allah also plans.

Ada seseorang pernah cerita. Kadang-kadang kita selalu cakap,

"Bestnya jadi dia. Pandai"

"Bestnya jadi dia. Ada anak"

"Bestnya jadi dia. Kahwin"

"Bestnya jadi dia. Ada Partner."

"Bestnya jadi dia. Doktor"

"Bestya jadi dia. Travel"

Pandangan dan tafsiran mata kita, melihat 'bahagianya' orang lain.

And despite your best efforts at trying to acquire that thing, it didn’t happen for you. And now, when you look back, you know that not getting that thing was actually the best thing for you, because today you have something that is even better. 

Setiap orang ada bahagiannya masing-masing.

Interestingly enough, when we do end up doing what we’re supposed to be doing, no one questions anymore how long it took to get us there.

A few friends of mine recently got married, they’re in their late twenties. Now that they’re married. No one cares how long it took to get them there.

A few friends of mine recently had babies. Only the other day, I figured out their ages, as it came up in a conversation.

I realised that they got married late, were married for years and now have had their first baby with some being in their mid-late thirties.

Now that they have children.

No one questions how long it took them to get there because, when Allah wills something, nothing can stop it from happening.

Life is not a race. 

And regardless of the efforts we may/may not put into making things happens, will only happen with Allah's permission..

So...

Menjadi single pada umur 19 itu terbaik, berkahwin pada umur 19 itu juga terbaik.

Ada anak pada umur 25 itu hebat, jika ada anak pada umur 30 pun hebat.

Menjadi suri rumah itu hebat, menjadi insan berkerjaya juga hebat.

Sama ada travel di negara orang itu hebat, berada di negara sendiri juga hebat.

Setiap satu dari kita ada ujian dan kisah hidup tersendiri.

Ada orang yang ada kerja lepas grad tapi benci dan tak bahagia dengan kerjanya. Ada orang lambat grad, tapi Allah rezekikan dengan suasana yang baik walaupun lambat grad dari yang lain. 

Ada orang berkahwin lambat tapi bahagia sehingga ke akhir hayat, ada orang uji berkahwin awal tapi bercerai setelah 2 tahun berkahwin.

Sebab tu awal-awal Allah dah jelaskan dalam Al-Baqarah, ayat 216 ;

Bahawasanya Allah lebih mengerti apa yang terbaik buat kita.

Kadang-kadang ada sesuatu hal itu, hanya terjawab dengan waktu. 

Mimpi Nabi Yusuf yang ditanyakan kepada ayahnya, seperti dalam surah Yusuf, ayat 4, hanya terjawab pada ayat 100, setelah dibuang ke telaga, setelah diuji dengan isteri pembesar, setelah keluar masuk penjara, setelah diangkat menjadi pemerintah. 

Dikatakan waktu tersebut adalah 40 tahun.Walaupun hakikatnya penantian itu sebuah penyeksaan.

Sometimes what we want and what we get are two different things. This is because, we’re only human. We like to think that we’re in control and that we’re in charge. But we’re not. Allah is in charge.

Everyone's timing is different. Everything in life happens to our clock, to our time. Maybe you feel other people are ahead of you, but the thing is everything happen at their own pace. They have their own time, and so do you! 

Life is not a race with others. Life is a journey.

Everybody's life is different, everybody has to face their own struggles . But our lives is not over until it is over, and it's never too late.

The thing is we may not be where we want to be in life. But we’re exactly where Allah wants us to be.

Semoga Allah kurniakan kita dengan kesabaran.Hati yang redha dengan setiap ketentuan Nya.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْسًا بِكَ مُطْمَئِنَّةً، تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ، وَتَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ، وَتَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ

Allahumma Inni as aluka nafsaan bika mutmainnah, tu'minu biliqaa-ika wathardha, Bi qadhaaika, wataqna'u bi atho ika.

"Ya Allah, aku memohon kepada-Mu jiwa yang merasa tenang kepada Mu, yang yakin akan bertemu dengan Mu, yang redha dengan ketetapan Mu, dan yang selalu merasa cukup dengan pemberian Mu."

By all means plan. Dream. Hope. Wish for the Best. 

But put your trust in the One that knows you better than you know yourself. And of course, plan as much as you want, but just remember Allah is the best of all Planners.

Have faith! :)
