The wise

Bismillah...

"why wouldn't you loan a car?"

"because its seven years with interest.
..and because I don't know what'll happen to me tomorrow."

Sayyidina Umar r.a says: "I was one among ten people who came into the presence of Rasulullah SAW (pbuh). One Ansari stood up and asked Nabi SAW): 
"Who is the most intelligent and careful person?" 
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam replied: "Those people who remember death most and prepare for it most. These are people who have excelled in the nobility of this world and the honor of the hereafter."

"why would you watch those korean variety shows (up to the point of obsession)?"

"because it's fun, simple genuine humour, because of the great ideas for games...but actually, mostly because it's entertaining."
"so you do know, despite the benefits, it's actually a waste of time...just like manga, games, etc?"
"yeah" don't be a spoilsport, will ya'. I'm trying to cool myself of.

“A wise person is one who guards and restrains himself from that which is harmful and strives for that which will benefit him after death
The foolish one is he who gives into his cravings and seeks from Allah the fulfillment of his futile desires.” (Riwayat Imam At-Tirmidzi)


Entertainment, if mild and within syara' is acceptable...but not when that entertainment takes up your heart..in your favor, in speech, in action, in your akhlak
don't be fooled, my brothers and sisters
because if you follow a people's lifestyle, you'll become that very people you adore (and worship)
where's the lifestyle of Rasulullah SAW and sahaba you used to follow?
what's the use of those games, if the intention was to just spend time playing?
what's the use of 'studying' culture, just to become like them, to favour their 'styles' and way of living?

am not condemning
cause I've been in those shoes

just..ask your heart..what's your state of iman?
does it increase or decrease?
does muhasabah (self-reflection/ self-assessment) even matter to you anymore?

"judge our own end, by what we're doing at present."
be wise..O brothers and sisters

"Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? .."
- Al-Hadid, 57:16

am ashamed of myself
because he was better than me
because despite his sins, his akhlak is admirable
his faith towards Allah swt
so that verse..thank you, O brother of mine~ :"(
I understood, finally
don't play around with faith if you're a person of thought
