Who doesn't love it?
As a kid, I don't care much about money.
If my dad give me RM1, I'll spend all RM1.
My coconut bank was the lightest, and it seems that the trait has been passed down to the youngest brother. =p
Anyway, I became a bit more greedy in high school.
Every penny is priceless and I even did odd jobs like cleaning others locker and selling out kuih cakar ayam for extra income.
When I earn my own money (read : working holiday, scholarship), I threw caution to the wind and buy what I need and want.
I have lost a few coins or notes here and there, be it the vending machine, the mobile prepaid or anything in between.
I don't remember cursing under my breath, but I'm sure I did a couple of times when I lost something.
Or maybe some tinge of dissappointment when my things got damaged etc.
I've been pretty cool in giving in to certain sort of something.
But then, my zakat is paid my father ~ the perk of being a woman in Islam.
I just lack in this department ~ of giving some monetary contribution to anything, or anyone.
It's is an understatement alright but I just don't do it that often you see.
When I have all the will to seek for that extra something for me to call mine, I don't even have the intention to seek for debiting.
Imagine this
When you lost a bag of worthy laptop ~ OMG!!! Damn it all my things are in there, my iPod, my android my this my that!
When you are pickpocketed and lost all the cash and cards ~ 900 was in there and now it's gone poof!
When someone ask for your help, be it monetary or material or simply a service from your end ~ she deserved it/I'm sorry I couldn't (because I don't want to)
Or even when you see someone who is in need
You know what?
Maybe me and you should give in to those.
Don't be too dissolved in losing cashes and valuables.
Never hesitate to lend or give away something.
For each and everytime the above situations or something similar to the above situation occur, it's the time Allah is rewarding you a way for you to purify your asset.
We are too immersed in accumulating valueables, we are too sad and worried when we were cheated off our money but we often forget to share some of our blessing to others.
When you part with your valuable, something that need to be cleared from your possession has been cleared and that is one of a way He help you to purify your possession.
hampir semua orang mahukan syurga, ramai yang mengejarnya tapi sedikit sahaja yang ada kesedaran untuk memutuskan diri dari rantai dunia, yang salah satunya adalah harta.
Yang pasti, harta itu pun bukan kita yang punya.
It's like you are doing flying fox. You keep only the essentials and left the backpack so that you can fly it smoothly.
p/s : ayat kesukaan saya dari drama Syurgamu Ramadhan
Kadang-kadang kita terlupa apa sahaja yang diagungkan hanya sesuatu yang dipinjamkan Allah semata-mata. Disangka itu hak milik mutlak.
