Anyway, have you made a plan or goals for Ramadan this year? It is an efficient way of making your Ramadan much better. Gradually, but does discipline yourself:)

All in all, I want to share with you guys about a beautiful advice or kajian from Gus Baha, the name is "Believe in what Allah has destined."

I just got it from YouTube and the advice is so calming and beautiful. Some of you, myself included, sometimes feel insecure and refuse what we have, whatever it is, wealth, knowledge, body. However guys, did you ever proud of yourself? Such as for your abilities, of course we did, right?

And perhaps you've heard the sentence that sounds like this, "Something that too much is not good." And yea, that sentence have a related to what I will tell you this time.

Feeling sad about the flaws you have is not bad.

Feeling proud and happy about the abilities you have is reasonable. How about make it too much? Isn't it bad or no? Proud of self too much (ujub) not allowed in Islam. Feeling sad too much about the flaws or anything it is not good too.

So, what we have to do with it?

What I take from the Gus Baha's kajian from YouTube is :

We are given what God has determined. Everything is good, everything must be pleased with God's decree. Do not let ujub (proud of self too much) / overly happy which eventually lead to arrogance.

Kita di hadapan Allah itu dikasih, diberi yang sudah ditentukan Allah. Semuanya baik, semuanya harus ridho dengan ketetapan Allah. Jangan sampai ujub (bangga diri) / senang berlebihan yang akhirnya menimbulkan sifat sombong.

And, for what we proud of ourself too much? The things that we proud of are come from Allah. And why feel too sad about bad things or something we don't have? Everything Allah gives to us is must be pleased. Everything has its part, and Allah knows what is good and bad for you.

Barakallah fiikum.
