Let Me Be Myself

In the name of Allah, who bestows His forgiveness upon you and me,
Praise be upon Muhammad s.a.w. whose love towards you and me is eternity,
We seek His protection from syaitan laknatullah who ignites the fire of fury.

*I noticed a song rebelliously-entitled 'Let Me Be Myself' by 3 Doors Down in my playlist*


"If you take every single person who lacks much imagination seriously, there's no end to it."
from 'Kafka on the Shore' by Haruki Murakami


Most of the times, I'm too absorbed in my own world of opinions, ideas and imaginations. Having people opposing my stands enrages me.

The real patience is at the first strike. I seek to be understood rather than to understand others. The strongest is the one who is able to defeat his own rage. And, indeed I'm the weakest.

To be strong, I need to defeat my enemy - my own ego. This is the battle I need to fight by my own self. And, this is a battle which weighs more than the one fought in the battlefield.

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a. bahwasanya Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: "Bukanlah orang yang keras - kuat - itu dengan banyaknya berkelahi, hanyasanya orang-orang yang keras - kuat - ialah orang yang dapat menguasai dirinya di waktu sedang marah-marah."
(Muttafaq 'alaih)

*Should have change the title - "Let Me Be Muslim"*

Indeed, Allah is the one who knows the most.
