A WoNDeRFuLL StORy...

As I was browsing, I came across this wonderful story bout friendship, just wanna share it with everyone who reads my blog...

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"

The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

The message it was trying to convey was quite obvious, bout how we should forgive and forget one's mistake and also try to appreciate more on the good deeds rather than brooding over one's mistake. Frankly, I'm not sure if this kind of situation really happens in real life, in between friends in particular, but I'm sure it does happen between a mother and her child and definitely between Allah SWT and us, human. A mother will always forgives her child wholeheartedly no matter what. Allah SWT is definitely forgiving.. even when we av been a bit prejudice toward HIM and let ourselves got carried away with all the business in life, He'd still grant us with all the wonderful things in life, still forgives us for all our mistakes. Nevertheless, it is truly wonderful if we can forgive everyone the way Allah forgives us and the way a mother forgives her child...

"Bersegeralah beramal untuk mendapatkan keampunan dari Tuhan mu, dan meraih syurga seluas langit dan bumi yang disediakan bagi mereka yg bertakwa, IAITU mereka yg selalu menafkahkan harta, pada saat senang atau susah, dan yg SELALU MENAHAN KEMARAHAN DAN MEMAAFKAN KESALAHAN ORANG LAIN..." Surah Ali-Imran, ayat 133-134.

Dah jelas kan? Layakkah kite untuk meraih syurga Allah??
