Iju, I'm Sorry!!

Humans are created with different set of responsibilities and priorities and these responsibilities and priorities can change in time. There are different levels of responsibilities and our religion, Islam has put a very clear guideline in priortizing on these responsibilities.

In this Al-Hadith Ibn Umar (may God bless his soul) was reported to have said: "What does Allah like the most?". The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) answered: "performing solat on time". "And then?", asked the man. The Prophet answered:" Doing good to your parents". "And then?", he asked again. The Prophet answered: " Doing Jihad in the path of Allah". [Muttafaq Alaih]

This Hadith clearly put the task of serving ones parents at the second most important priority after serving God Himself and even more important than sacrificing your soul for jihad. This has been repeated many times in various other hadiths. Even our Holy Quran mentioned that we need to prioritize our parents before any other things.

And We have enjoined on man goodness to his parents, and if they contend with you that you should associate (others) with Me, of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them, to Me is your return, so I will inform you of what you did. 29:8 [Surah Al-Ankabut]

(I think this should put this article on track)

I'm Sorry...

its not that I'm avoiding you or I don't want to work with you. Its just that a tremendous amount of responsibility has been put on me and I have to make it work. I know that its been hard on you for your information, its really hard for me too. I am put in a situation where I have to choose whether to help a friend on his responsibility or to help my own dad who had waited every year for times like this so that he could have his own son th help ease his burden.

Unlike other students who had their own scholarships or at least PTPTN to help them get through college, I am fully funded by my dad who had worked very hard every day just to get me through another year of college and I really felt that I had failed him by failing yet another subject in my final exam. I bet that he must've felt very dissapointed by that because like any other investor, he must have wanted to see something good in his years of investment. So, I'm taking this opportunity to make it up to him. Or at least to tell him that I'm worth investing on.

Really sorry...

Since my brother left for PLKN last month, he'd always be expecting me to help him. The two of them has been running the business since my brother was in Form 5. So, this can be considered as my father's time of need and I would feel that I betrayed his hope on me.

Really really sorry...

With this article, I'm really sorry if I, in any manner, betrayed you and my friends, because I think that when a choice had to be made, its better to betray your own friends rather than betraying your own parents.

My SUPER Sweet 22nd Birthday

For my birthday this year, my father bought me the biggest and most expensive present I have ever received in my entire life.

The present may be very expensive , but it can never match the gifts that my parents had given me every day. Although these gifts might be very small and cheap, nothing else in the world is more valuable to me. It is the gift of LOVE so pure, it flows like spring water, crystal clear straight to the heart. Like spring water that has never stopped flowing, their love for me has never died for me from the very moment of my birth, until I'm this old. Without their love, I would not have survived the world. Thank You Mom and Dad for loving me each day!
