You will be fine

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious Most Merciful...

Holy Prophet Muhammad, Peace and Blessings be upon him and his household..

Salam alayk. It has been a while :) I just lose the interest in writing. Words don't describe me best i figured. When I looked at the title of this blog and I tried recalling why did i chose this title. What is the 'Ultimate Panacea'?  'Panacea' is a Greek word. In direct translation, it means, the prominent cure. I like the title because it gives this blog an element of healing. Well at least to me it does. 


So what is the 'Ultimate Panacea'. When there are too many problems, too many unanswered questions, too many things to consider, too many things that you regret, like you're in this deep void..there has to be an ultimate panacea. Allah tak akan datangkan masalah2 di dunia ini tanpa memberi petunjuk bagaimana kita nak meleraikannya. 
So what is the Ultimate Panacea. 

"When I am ill, it is He who heals," (Quran) 

Ups and downs, are something that we all have to face in life. You will not appreciate strength if you  never feel weak. You will not value contentment if you never feel distressed. You will never appreciate togetherness until you are alone. You will not value life, until you are dead. 


Humans are the best of Allah's creation, Ahsani Taqwim. Why are we Ahsani Taqwim is that there is this concealed potential and strengths that we have in us but we never knew it's there. Until we face certain difficulties in life. It's similar to having a spring in front of us, we don't know the amount of potential energy stored in its stringiness until we put it to test. 


Weakness completes us. Failure makes you limp and cry and..stupefied. But it gives you this unexplainable strength to get up and make things right. "Bila jatuh, bangun balik," Mama used to say. 

"In every tear, there is where..He is there," (Sami Yusuf)

"When I am ill, it is He who cures me," (Quran)

"Dan janganlah kamu merasa lemah atau bersedih hati, sbb kamu paling tinggi darjatnya jika kamu org yg beriman," (Ali Imran:139)

Failures make us human. Humans are Ahsani Taqwim. To be an Ahsani Taqwim, you have to unleash and use up the potential and strengths stored in you. And this will not happen unless you are tested. Too many wrongs to be rectified, too many holes to be covered, too many bruises to be healed.  Hakikatnya, untuk menjadi sebaik-baik ciptaan Allah, manusia akan diuji. Ini hakikat. Hakikat yang pahit,tetapi sebenarnya menyembuhkan. It heals us. It makes us an Ahsani Taqwim. To be great there has to be a price. 

"Dan Kami pasti menguji kamu dgn sedikit ketakutan, kelaparan, kekurangan harta, jiwa dan buah-buahan. Dan sampaikanlah berita gembira kpd org yang sabar. Iaitu apabila ditimpa musibah mereka berkata 'Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun'" (Al-Baqarah: 155)

Why is it after we are being told by our Lord that we are going to be tested with difficult situations, He said that give away good news to the people of Sabirin? 


So what is the 'Ultimate Panacea'. That is for you to answer.


For me, patience is the 'Ultimate Panacea'. It heals, mends, cures. Kesabaran suatu pengubat yang tak akan kita dapat di mana2, kecuali dalam hati orang2 yg redha dan tawakkal sepenuhnya pada ketentuan dan ketetapanNya. Allahu Akbar. 

"With difficulties, there is ease," (al-Insyirah). 

Make believe that and you will be fine. Really.


Wallahu A'alam.
