Inner-Reflection

<< Based on IKIM.fm's Wednesday segment with Prof. Dr. Muhaya >>

Recently I started to listen more to IKIM.fm, thanks to my mum. Though Dad complains that she made him listen to the same channel whole day so he misses his 80s music, haha. My favourite segment is on Wednesday mornings with Professor Dr. Muhaya.

Today's topic is : Reflecting upon Yourself

"Awak sibuk nak betulkan masyarakat. Awak dah betulkan diri awak? Solat dah penuh? Anak macam mana? Keluarga macam mana?"

To change & be happy starts from within.
Jihad starts from home.

Today's way of life is so engrossed with materials, glory and ranks to achieve self satisfaction. We believe that happiness comes from the outer environment (luaran ke dalaman) when in actual fact it should be the opposite (dalaman ke luaran).

"Kita sibuk nak mengendali topeng-topeng kita. Apa itu topeng? Pakaian, pangkat, gelaran, sanjungan, harta. Padahal Allah swt lihat & nampak apa disebalik topeng kita. So apakah tujuan hidup kita? Untuk menggembirakan Allah swt atau mencari penghargaan manusia?"

Some exercises suggested by Prof. to get to know yourself:-

1) Look into the mirror and look deeply into the pupils of your eyes
- If you can't stand to even look at yourself, stare deep into your soul than you hate yourself. You can't stand the sight of yourself and this is mainly because your soul knows ALL the SINS you have committed and is ashamed of itself.

2) Count your heart beat
Count your heartbeat within 15secs and x4. If it is 60 than you are happy and calm. But if your heart beat is more 70, than you are unsatisfied, unhappy.

3) Say you are Sorry & give love
Before sleeping,
fogive and say your sorry to whomever you've hurt today. Give love to yourself, family and the entire being. Be selfless.

4) Diari Kesyukuran, Diari Kesedaran & Diari Bukti
Diari Kesyukuran - to note down everything you are grateful for and that has happened to you today
Diari Kesedaran - to note down everything you feel guilty for and how you will change it tomorrow
Diari Bukti - Evidence of how you change yourself and as consequences something else change for the better.


"Setiap kali kita ubah diri kita, Dunia akan berubah."
" Everytime you change yourself. The World changes along with you"

In sha Allah we can change ourselves; one step at a time.
Amin.
