Bukan Doa Kamu Yang Makbul Sebenarnya.

Bercakap fasal doa,
saya teringat satu kisah yang sangat-sangat memberikan kesan dalam kehidupan saya. Guru-guru saya di sekolah, semenjak sekolah rendah, sangat menerapkan doa. Jadi, saya sudah dibiasakan dengan Solat Hajat, Solat Dhuha, Qiamullail, waktu-waktu doa yang mustajab seperti ketika hujan dan sebagainya agar saya rajin berdoa, dan agar doa saya makbul. Jadi, bila Allah anugerahkan saya kejayaan, saya sentiasa rasa, itu sebab saya doa dengan bersungguh-sungguh. Namun satu cerita mengubah persepsi saya.

Cerita yang saya dengar itu begini:

Kisah berkenaan seorang abang dan seorang adik.
Kedua-duanya adalah anak yatim lagi miskin. Mereka tinggal di rumah pusaka tinggalan ibu bapa mereka. Kedua ibu bapa mereka adalah hamba ALLAH yang soleh. Kedua-dua anak dididik untuk bergantung harap dengan Allah SWT.

Do Not Wait Until It Is Too Late ...

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!
