Heart-shaped Post-its from Kati :$

These are a few of my favourite quotes…

Love is like terrorism, everyone talks about it,
but no one knows what it is.
- ABU DUJANAH (hafidhahullah)

Husbands come and go, but the Shari3ah is forever!
- HASS (LBWH)

You know the 5 stages of grief? Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and finally, Acceptance.

I came across these lyrics which make a lot of sense for that final stage…

When what’s written for me
Is the best for you
I will make you
the most wonderful memory
In my life

To accept a loss of any sort, you need to have the perspective of how the same qadr affects the other party. When you reflect upon how they are or will be better off, it helps ease the hurt. Just like in the case of death. When you realise they are free from the sufferings of this inane world - and you truly love them - you will see that silver lining behind the cloud. And you will cherish the memories.

It’s always hard to let go. But having that right perspective makes it a tad easier to go on…

What affects us most is always when it involves someone else right? But even in a materialistic sense. For example job placing. When your application is rejected, not only could it be that it’s better for you and your family, or that something better might come along. But think about the one who does get the job… It might be better for them too. They might be more in need of the job. And so on.

Think positive eh. Balance of hope and fear. Only seek the pleasure of Allah.

Sigh. If only we could remember that always.
