If you find yourself unhappy…
13 Dec 2007
While walking on my way back home, I was so tired, so I let my mind work on its own, not having strength to direct the way. My eyes were on everything, snowflakes falling down, people’s faces, kids playing in the street…all. Some faces were happy, some sad and some…empty. Just that – empty.
Many things came into my mind. Are some people meant to be empty, unhappy – forever? Maktoub? Or Allah 
gave us power to change things? Isn’t that hadith that saying doa can change the qadr?
What if you got yourself like that, just one day you realize you are not happy, you are not satisfied with what you are or how you are? What if you don’t know how to change yourself, your life or just anything, if you feel you don’t have that power in your hands, feeling them so weak, even to raise them up and say doa? And you know you have no one but Allah ?
What would you do?

i would definitely pray to Allah
to give me satisfaction upon what I have and give me more whatever I deserve.
