.sakinah, mawaddah, rahmah.

assalamualaikum,

hello everyone!

how are you?

a few weeks ago, i read a posting shared by a friend on facebook. she didn’t write them. it was written by someone else. i can’t recall the whole text but a portion of the writing stuck in my mind. i can’t even recall which friend shared it. my bad!

the writer, a man, stated that in marriage, we seek sakinah, mawaddah and rahmah. he embraces all that with his wife. just when he looks at his wife’s face, when they struggle to make ends meet etc.

simple as it seems,

not all of us is lucky enough to experience this.

simple as it sounds,

i am fascinated by the logic of these words.
because sometimes...
we forget.

sometimes when i worry over what to cook tomorrow when guests are coming, fret about the endless stream of workload at the office, angry about the mindless random people not caring for the environment, i stop and remind myself that all of these doesn’t matter.

don't get start on politics

or other worldly problems

that affect the majority of earth population.

let's look at something much near at hand.

.enjoying breakfast together.

don’t get me wrong. it matters that we entertain our guests as best as we can, perform with favorable result on that work project and contribute to the sustainability of earth our way but it doesn’t worth the sleepless nights and hateful thoughts you would have over it.

cherish the little things.

we have loads of this.

cliché as it is,

it rings true.

loud and clear.

appreciate the time spent arguing over where to put the tall, glass vase. grateful for the silent night where you lie together side by side, you with your reading and him browsing the internet. welcome the little help that comes with other little hiccups. treasure the serenity of performing solat together. hold dear to your partner's ability to listen while you babble away your daily troubles.

nothing else matters as much.

put the glass down before your arm aches.

pick it up again when you’re ready.

and repeat.
