it's not just you

Hi, assalamualaikum...

So, today I was scrolling Facebook news feed reading all the status updates. Among all of the my Facebook friends' status, i had seen a lot of them be likely to share status from others'. The positive quotes, the interesting and inspiring stories are of course my favourites. 

But, when some people shared a status saying unpleasant issues about others by not saying theirs name on the particular status triggered other friends to ask like "eh siapa tuu?", "kenapa ni..?", "eh story laa.." and etc. and more worst without knowing the roots of the problem itself, starting to add on more bad words to the other person. and to add more to it, a status saying bad about others, shared a story about some inconsiderate parents letting too much time on gadget to their kids, some people doing no good to their parents, and etc. etc.

We pray so much to Allah, so Allah will cover our aib and forgive our sins too. But, why we need to share something bad about others? 

I know, these kinds of lines of saying,

it is our Facebook profile,

it is my space,

it is who i am, 

i do not want to be hypocrite, 

this is who i am, i can't be somebody else

 and the list goes on.  

Personally to me, all those kinds of perspectives are totally thoughtless. We just cannot say that "I am sorry, i make mistake because that is me..'.

I still remember vividly last year a conversation my husband and I. I told him 

"I love doing ibadah at PGCC, whereby no one here knows me and me myself not knowing anyone too, the ambience, the tazkirah and so many more. I like to keep it to myself and think about myself only."

But my husband replied by saying, 

"yup, that's good. But, the thing is in Islam we need to be together, do good together, if we only think about ourselves  whereas we don't encourage other people to do good, how could have Islam reach to a bigger community."

See guys, how self-centred was i at that time? I only think about me!

That is not right, so not right. We ourselves especially Muslims, need to have the urge to remove all the bad things in us, talking bad about others, sharing gossips too. Yeah, sometimes it's quite hard to detach those habits, but there is effort we can do. Our struggles by always doing good, by not spreading bad about others and so much more will always be counted, inshaAllah.

Okay that's all for now,

Till then, inshaAllah.

Take care!
