gifts.

as i was walking today, i looked down.. and i saw my feet. and i was hit by the obvious fact that my legs and feet bring me anywhere i wish to go. and at that moment, it felt like a gift. the thought of how some people might not share the same gift made me feel even more grateful. and then my thought goes to how Allah has made me able to walk and it makes me feel blessed. and then i looked up and started to consume the surroundings i was in. He also gave me sight. It's wonderful because not only i could see the world interacting in front of me, more significantly the eyes witness all creations of Allah. i think we forget that. that Allah granted us sight for a reason. and if we really used our eyes according to how we are meant to, we will see the signs of His greatness. and that is another gift on its own. if you could just take the time to sit down and get a piece of paper and write down all the gifts Allah has given you to date... you will not have such infinite time... and more astoundingly, we don't even recognize some of the gifts that we receive from Allah. our minds are much too small to be able to cope with Allah's might. but seek Him and He shall grant us with answers to questions we didn't know we asked, Insyallah.

"dan aku mengikuti agama nenek moyangku Ibrahim, Ishak dan Yakub. Tidak pantas bagi kami (para nabi) mempersekutukan sesuatu apa pun dengan Allah. Itu adalah dari kurnia Allah kepada kami dan kepada manusia (semuanya); tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak bersyukur." - Ayat 38, Surah Yusuf.

aku tidak mau termasuk dalam kebanyakan manusia.
