Assalamualaikum.
Have you ever heard this? Walk the talk. Hmm, this is the hardest thing for me to do.
Sometimes or is it many times I feel like I don't want to give any advice/motivation/any good things anymore. Because I am afraid that I could not follow what am I saying to others. You know what, only successful person would have the confidence to tell others on what is right and what is wrong. Cause they have been through it! They manage to hit the problem and stand up from failure. Means that, they already practice before they spread the words to others. Do you get what I mean? *Ok my language fail to understand you. Oh nooo! How am I going to pass the interview?? (-_-" all of a sudden)*
I mean, they not only say this and that, but they also prove what they do. Is there any use if you are good at talk but not do it? I think I am not a person who walk the talk. Well, I thought that I am, but... *cry a river (T.T)
"O you who believe! Do you say that which you do not do. It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that you say that which you dot no do." (As-Saff 61:3)
Scary isn't it? We have so much responsibilities on what are we saying. We asked others to do this and that, but are we really do it? But the feeling that I have right now, actually kills me. Because I am in between to deliver something good or just keep in silent. In the end, I tend to be quite. But you are wrong Maisarah! YOU ARE WRONG! You know what? The Satan has won this battle! And you? Are you really want them to let you down for the rest of your life? Do you really don't care of others, so you don't want to invite them to good deeds, just because you have been loss in your own feelings?
"And from among you, there must be a society, community or party that should invite people to all that is good and enjoin the doing of all that is right and forbid the doing of all that is wrong." (Al-Imran 2:104)
There you go! By hook or by crook, you have to convey something good to people so that they will do the good deeds. Yes, this is the challenge that you have to take Maisarah! Don't afraid of them. This is somehow will lead you to be responsible on what are you saying to others. You don't have to wait to be good to convey something good because time won't wait. On your way to be good, there must be something good you have to do.
This is the process. To be good, you have to find it, not wait for it cause it won't meet you. Same like when you want to ride a cab. You can't just wait as it will take a long time especially at a peak hour. You have to at least try find one by dialing any cab agency. Even if you are not calling their number, still you have to stop the taxi and please do not hope the taxi will find you. See? There is nothing in this world that is easy. You have to strive for it in order to get what you want.
Back to the main point, I know it is hard sometimes for us to invite others to do good things because we ourselves are not good enough. But, I believe that eventually, we will try to walk our talk as the responsible is ours. Or else...
We always stuck in a situation. Stuck in between the good and bad moves. Just keep praying that Allah help us in doing what are we saying, instead saying without do it.
p/s: I don't know if you understand my bad written English, but after all you must get my point, Walk the Talk. I'm not perfect nor good enough to say this, because I, myself still has a lot to improve.
Ma'assalamah ^_^
