Whenever we felt that we have gone astray far away from the
path to the will of god, we should always remember Allah, repent and back to
His will. Though it might not that far away, you may at least doing a wrong
action in particular situation. Who knows? The spontaneous action just pass
automatically from brain nerves and allow our muscles… or in other words, the
whole body just react on something without a proper judgement.
This is what
reflecting our akhlak. (and terrible assimilation of science in article... heh)
Yet, who dare to say that he or she is the one with the best
of akhlak after all, since all of us always doing mistake somewhere and
sometime. You think you have decide the best action on everything Though you
might have no time either to decide?
His or her akhlak is what determine the kind of action that
he or she will react.
Sometimes, we might have insufficient time to ask ourselves,
“Is it the best action for this circumstance?”
“Is it better to do like this? Rather than this?”
Eventually, you never know that you might choose a wrong
decision at a time when you actually best to do this… and this…
As time goes, the circumstance and decision will lead to
another new storyline where the bad or good things will happen upon us, either
in next 2 years, next 2 months and can be even next 2 seconds! Only then, you
know how bad or how good your decision is.
This reminds me about a story of a father who went to work
in early of the morning, which began when his daughter accidentally crashed to
the table and caused his father’s coffee fell off and spilled on his shirt.
What if the father turned out to be a ‘cruel monster’,
yelling or even hitting his own daughter just because of the spilled coffee?
The story goes with a stressful timeline of the day, as bad
things keep happen to him. His daughter has been late to go to school as the
bus already left and he need to send his daughter off to go to school. He had
difficult time to go to the school area even leave to his working office since
the traffic is hectic with cars of which parents sending of their children. His
daughter left him without a good bye. He late went to work, and scolded by his
boss. Even after working, he has a bad day with his wife because of his
reaction on that morning.
Then, what if the father reacts calmly on that situation and
do the best action. A timeline with a happy day would be come out.
Therefore, we should realize that any unexpected events
require a proper and accurate action to make your day better. Think before
acting.
Imam Ibn Qayyim once said regarding thinking and reflecting, that the origin of all acts of obedience to God is to think before acting, and the source of all evil doing is the absence of thinking and reflection before doing.
Even if you have done wrong, do reflect upon yourself and
manage yourself to improve akhlak, so that we can endure this life better.
Muhasabah.
