Jom ler jadi multitasker

To live is to multitask.

I remember, a few weeks ago, I quarreled with my mother about not wanting to help her in the kitchen because I wanted to study for my finals.

Oh boy, I was setupido.

After a few minutes of quarreling, my mum said something which made me freeze. She said, "if you want to live in this world today, you have to learn how to multitask! How are you suppose to get married if you can only do one thing at a time?! How are you suppose to balance between work and family?! HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO BALANCE BETWEEN YOUR DUNYA AND YOUR AKHIRAH?". Terus ha kau, kept quiet with nothing to say, padan muka saya.
I immediately stopped what I was currently doing at that time and helped my mum in the kitchen. Alhamdulillah, received a wonderful dua from my mum. She asked to Allah to put barakah in my time and knowledge. Seriously, I felt like crying. Eh wait, I did cry because I felt guilty of quarreling with her in the first place, it must've hurt her feelings. For all the things I've done to her, she still makes dua for me. You are magic. Your heart is magic, Allah Allah..

My mum' s probably more fashionable than I am :P

 Moving on, what I am trying to say here is, always help your loved ones, ESPECIALLY your mother if she needs help no matter the circumstances. InsyaAllah, Allah will put barakah in your time. InsyaAllah, have faith in Him! Always ask Allah to put barakah in your time so that you have the ability to learn so much in very little time.

Plus, I think our parents are a good medium for Allah to 'tegur' what we did wrong. Sometimes, our parents scold us like crazy and ending up making us feel so bad ourselves. Hence, we seek Allah for ultimate sabr in enduring His challenges. So, always seek the wisdom behind our parents scolding us as that could be hidayah from Allah to our parents in order to correct our errs and mishaps.

So....may we always seek the wisdom behind everything to be happy both in this dunya as well as akhirah, insyaAllah!
