Was I certain to wake up this morning?


Allah takes back people’s selves when their death arrives and those who have not yet died, while they are asleep. He keeps hold of those whose death has been decreed and sends the others back for a specified term. There are certainly signs in that for people who reflect.

(Surat az-Zumar, 42)


Malay translation:


Allah memegang nyawa (seseorang) pada saat kematiannya dan nyawa (seseorang) yang belum mati ketika dia tidur, maka Dia tahan nyawa (orang) yang telah Dia tetapkan kematiannya dan Dia lepaskan nyawa yang lain sampai waktu yang ditentukan. Sungguh, pada yang demikian itu terdapat tanda-tanda (kebesaran) Allah bagi kaum yang berpikir.

(Surat Az-Zumar ayat 42)




Reflecting on this ayah after the Subuh prayer made me to ask myself this question:


"Was I very certain to wake up this morning, last night?".


P/s: Ramadhan Mubarak to everyone. Its the 2nd Ramadhan 1431H now. =)

Then comes the next week, the world suddenly feels like falling apart- sadness surrounds us. Mood changes, in a normal person, are caused by several reasons. It ranges from environmental to biological and even chemical factors. For instances, drained after 12 hours of working could cause someone to irritate over a small problem such as “ Why do I have to face the traffic jam?” (when the fact is- the route he/she takes is at all time congested during that hour). Research also shown that chemical imbalance in the body such as dopamine, serotonin and others are also contributing factors to mood swing (read from an arti cle). In many of the emotional states, I believe ANGER is the most disastrous state of feeling that every one of us should have in control. One second of anger could change the ...
