Masa senggang

Assalamualaikum..

Alhamdulillah. Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan yang mentadbir seluruh alam. Moga kite semua sentiasa berada dalam lindungan dan rahmat Allah in-syaAllah. Moga keadaan iman kita sentiasa di tahap yang baik, malah makin meningkat. In-syaAllah.

So skang nih dah abih exam. Nih 1st entry lepas exam, ehehe. Supplemental exam biochemistry tamat kul 5 petang 14 September yang lepas. Alhamdulillah segala2 berjalan lancar. Alhamdulillah, aku rasa cam ok la. Bleh la jawab. Sekarang nih tunggu result. Risau. Harap2nye ok la result aku in-syaALlah.

So between post-exam period ngan bukak klas merupakan masa yang sangat senggang. OK la. Limit sket, post-exam ngan result kuar. Masa senggang yang mana Rasulullah s.a.w telah ingatkan kita, salah satu dari 5 perkara yang kene beringat2. "Masa lapang sebelum sempit". Masa lapang adalah nikmat yang Allah berikan pada kita, yang biasanya kebanyakan kita tak sedar and taktau apa nak dibuat dengan masa lapang yang sangat la best tuh. Betul la kan? Sapa antara korang yang bace entry nih rasa cam masa lapang tuh tak best? Ok maybe skang kata,"Ish, boring gile takdek apa nak buat". Tapi bile dah sebok sampai tak sempat nak duduk, mula la dikenang masa lapang tuh. Kan kan?

So nih la nak kongsi isi email yang aku dapat semalam..moga kite dapat ambil iktibar in-syaAllah. Pendek jek..

Leisure Time or Lost Time?

Do we consider how much time we spend on activities that are not truly beneficial?

On the issue of how one benefits from one’s free time, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,

“There are two blessings whose profit [or reward] many people lose: good health and free time” (Al-Bukhari)

One may ask, “What, from the Shareeah point of view, is the problem with, for example, watching a football game for three hours?”

It is not just a question of “what is the problem with it?” The issue for a Muslim is: do I really have that time to spend wherein I am not benefiting myself at all? Can I afford to lose that time which I will never get back again? When I stand in front of Allah, can I really feel that I have used that free time, which is a bounty from Allah, in an acceptable fashion?

When the goal and purpose of a Muslim’s life is clear in his mind [to please Allah and achieve Paradise], he will not waste a lot of time in doing things that do not benefit him in achieving that goal and purpose. All his activities will be focused on the idea of moving him toward his goal—neither away from it nor in a static position with respect to it.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with rest and relaxation when needed. Indeed, it is a necessity. However, it could be argued that there are some ways that are simply non-beneficial or perhaps even harmful.

Hmm..sangat terasa bila baca email ni, sebab apa? Aku adalah antara orang yang memang banyak gile buang masa lapang ni ngan aktiviti2 tak berfaedah. Main game, tengok TV dan sebagainya. In-syaAllah akan cube mengisi masa dengan buat mende2 yang lebih baik. Bace buku ke, artikel ke, biar terbukak minda, tak gitu? Moga lepas nih masa lapang dapat diluangkan dengan lebih berfaedah in-syaAllah.

Ouh ye..kepada sahabatku, Aiman, Selamat Hari Lahir ke 21 la ye..maaf la lambat wish, heh. Moga amalan kebajikan dan ibadah makin bertambah selaras dengan bertambahnya usia in-syaAllah.

Okeh, apa lagi nak cite..takdek dah.

Wallahu a'lam.
