kalaulah...

Hadis Sahih Muslim, daripada Abu Hurairah ra, katanya Rasulullah saw bersabda:

Orang mukmin yang kuat adalah lebih baik dan lebih dikasihi Allah daripada orang mukmin yang lemah. Masing-masing ada mempunyai kebaikan. Bersungguh-sungguhlah mengerjakan sesuatu yang berguna (di dunia dan di akhirat); dan hendaklah selalu meminta pertolongan daripada Allah dan jangan berasa lemah, yakni putus harapan, atau merasa hampa. Jika engkau ditimpa sesuatu jangan berkata “Kalaulah aku berbuat demikian tentu tentu akan jadi begini dan begitu”; akan tetapi katakanlah “Takdir Allah, dan Allah berbuat sekehendak-Nya”. Sesungguhnya perkataan “kalaulah” hanya membukakan jalan bagi syaitan untuk berbuat sesuatu.

we are always being reminded for not to say

"If......."

"Kalaulah...."

sebabnya bila kita cakap macam tu, nanti akan membuka pintu untuk penyesalan..

kita yang konon-kononnya dah tawakal jadi kecewa pulak dengan nasib kita..

tapi, IF kat bawah ni x macam tu kot..

InsyaAllah~

If by Rudyard Kipling

*poem that we learn in Form 4*

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

To stop negative thoughts, just plant good thoughts!
So don’t give any attention to negative thoughts.
Don’t worry about them.
If any come, make light of them, shrug them off, and let them be your reminder to deliberately think more good thoughts now.
