A story that has profoundly touched my heart... :')



SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.
DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"

SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"

SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.

"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

Some things are more important.

Statistik Dunia & Statistik 'di Sana'

Dewasa ini, kita dihidangkan media dengan statistik yg mengatakan bahawa bilangan pelajar wanita di institut2 pengajian tinggi adalah lebih ramai dari lelaki sekaligus memberi gambaran akan sifat keintelektualan mereka yg tinggi berbanding lelaki. Mereka sangat berbangga akan pencapaian ini. 

Namun, tidakkah mereka sedar bahawa di akhirat nanti golongan wanita lah yg sedikit bilangannya di dalam syurga?

Dari Imran bin Husain dia berkata, Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang bermaksud :
“Sesungguhnya penduduk Syurga yang paling sedikit adalah wanita.”
(HR Muslim dan Ahmad)

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang bermaksud : “Aku melihat ke dalam Syurga maka aku melihat kebanyakan penghuninya adalah fuqara’ (orang-orang fakir) dan aku melihat ke dalam Neraka maka aku menyaksikan kebanyakan penghuninya adalah wanita.” (HR Al- Bukhari dan Muslim)

Kadangkala kita terlalu taksub dengan pandangan manusia dan pencapaian kita di dunia smpai kita terlepas pandang akan motif hidup kita, tidak lain dan tidak bukan, hanyalah sebagai hamba kpdNya.  Semoga kita, baik dari kaum Hawa mahupun Adam, memperbaiki diri serta setiap inci kehidupan harian kita agar kita tidak menjadi kayu api neraka jahanam di sana kelak!
