I'M TOO BUSY!

Terima kasih atas keizinan ini ya Allah...

  

Dalam meniti kehidupan seharian, perjalanan hidup kita merakamkan berbagai macam gaya dan ragam kehidupan sekalian makhluk Allah yang bernama manusia. Kesibukan memenuhi aktiviti seharian menutup ruang waktu untuk kita menimbang semula berapa banyak sudah amalan yang kita masukkan dalam 'akaun simpanan masa hadapan' untuk kita persembahkan di hadapan Tuhan..Apa sebenarnya yang ingin kita kejar?Justeru saya tertarik pada puisi di bawah ini..

Everyday I wake up at dawn

My mind start working the moment I yawn

There were many things to do, o dear!

That's why I hastily did my subuh prayer

I didn't have the time to sit longer to praise the Lord

To me rushing out after prayer is nothing odd..

I'm busy here and busy there

I've no time at all, that's all I care

I went for religious lessons, just once in a while

coz I'm too busy making a pile..

I worked all day and I slept all night

Too tired for Tahajjud and it seemed not right

To me, earning a living was already tough

So I only did basic deeds but that's not enough..

No time at all, to admire God's creation

no time to praise Allah and seek His Compassion

Although I know how short is my life

For Islam, I really didn't strive..

Finally the day comes, when the Lord calls for me

And I stood before Him with my life's history

I feel so guilty b'coz I should have prayed more

Isn't that what a Muslim lives for?

To thank Allah and do more good deeds

And the Quran is for us all to read..

Now at Judgement Day, I'm starting to fret

I've wasted my life but it's too late to regret

My entry to Paradise depend on my good behavior

But I have not done enough or did proper prayer

My  "good deed book" is given from my right

An angel opened my "book" and read out my plight.

Then the angel chided me..

"O you Muslim servant, you are the one,

Who is given enough time, yet not much is done

Do you know that your faith is loose?

Saying "no time" is only an excuse..

Your "good deed book" should be filled up more

With all the good work you stood up for..

Hence, I only recorded those little good deeds

as I say this, I know your eyes will mist..

I was about to write some more, you see

But I did not have, "THE TIME TO LIST"...

 

Saya menyoal diri.."Beginikah saya?"...Anda?...
