The New Day Has Come... What Does It mean???

The NEW DAY has come. Alhamdulillah... :)
What do u think and feel when you realize that NOW you are living in another day? Do you think it will be just like days have passed or you have so many hope to be come true in this day and you have arranged so many things to do for TODAY? well! it must be there are so many answers for the questions I write down here. Now let's be more care to think of what is the meaning your presence in this life, JUST FOR TODAY, not your past nor your future.

"Alhamdulillah..." This is the saying that most of muslims say when they get up in the morning. Is it ordered in Islam? yeah. it's one of lessons taught by Rasulullah SAW. What is the meaning behind that saying. Here I just want to share my thought as what I learn and understand. Actually when someone are sleeping, his soul is in Allah's hand. So in this stage, he is just like death person. If Allah doesn't return back his soul, it means that the one has entered another world. In other word we can say that he has died. We can see this by our own eyes things that happened in this world. There are people who end up their last day in this life when they are sleeping. Do you think that sleeping can cause people  to die? Surely it's not something that cause people get death.
It's just one of conditions showing death can come in anytime and anywhere if the last time for people to live in this world has come, even in their sleeping. So, it's the time that has been determined by Allah when the ones have to leave this world and entered another world. 

Knowing all that are written above, It's no doubt that when a muslim get up from his sleep they say Alhamdulillah to show how thankful he is because Allah has returned back his soul to his body so that he can live again in this world. For some people maybe they don't consider that their getting up from their sleep are truly important. They might think that it's just regular situation, sleep-get up, just the way people take a rest from their busy day. However from other people who understand that when Allah returns back their soul into their body after their sleep, it means that the ones have been given chance by Allah to repair their deeds. They are still given chance to do good deeds as ordered by Allah and leave bad ones forbidden by Him. Hence, believer muslims will consider that their chance to live in this word is the blessing from Allah. It will be the way how they prepare themselves to live in the next life, in the hereafter. This world will be their place to perform good deeds in order to worship their Lord, Allah SWT. They understand that the chance to do good deeds and leave bad ones are just in this world. Then in the hereafter they will be rewarded for the good deeds they have done and will be punished for the bad deeds they have done too during their life.

From here, what do you think and feel after knowing that Allah has given you chance to live in this world? He has given you chance that not all people who live in this world yesterday have the same chance. Some of them maybe have come back to Allah because their last time to live in this world  which is determined by Allah has come, whether they end it up in their sleep or in other conditions that usually people meet their last day in this world. Alhamdulillah.... this is just simple word to say, but this has deep meaning. People who thankful for what their Almighty has given to them will use what they have in the right way as what is ordered by Him. They will show how they be grateful to Allah not only just by saying alhamdulillah, but also by implementing what they understand of the meaning of "Alhamdulillah". Hence, they won't let go the great chance to live in this world. Life in this world is just ONCE and what ever people do in this world that will determine how their life in the hereafter, whether they will live in the paradise or in the hell. 

Now, let's ask ourselves, will we consider that this new day is just same like the days that have passed? will we fill this day same like the way we fill our passed days. Come on!  let's think of that now we have lived in another day and not all people have the same chance to live in this world as what we have. People who have died, maybe they want to come back in this world to do something better what they never done when they still live in this world. Besides it they might want to repair their deeds because they realize that they don't truly use the chance to live in this world optimally by following Allah's rules. However, time is over for those who have meet their last time in this world. They never can go back and live in this world as the field to do deeds ordered by Allah. The chance are just given to people who still live in this world, and we are ones of them who have this chance. Will we let go this chance by keep living on our passed days or living in the future that we don't certain if it will be ours. 

One thing that we know for sure is we have chance to do deeds or take our action TODAY! We never can delete the story of our life we wrote down yesterdays in the BOOK of "What  Do You Do During Your Life in The World". If in that book there are bad things written there, what we can do is how to seek forgiveness from Allah and try not to do anymore those bad things forbidden by Allah. Likewise, if in that book we have written good things, we should do better effort to increase the quality of what we have done. All of these are we do in order to reach Allah's ridho. Will Allah pleased with what we do or not by doing this deed or that one? Then, in the end we also will understand that all the things we do will return back to us. If we follow Allah's rules it's because ourselves who need that rules. It's ourselves who will get advantages by following His rules  in order to get our success in this world and in the hereafter. Insya'Allah... 

Hopefully TODAY will be better than yesterdays. ameen... 
Let's OPEN NEW PAGE of the BOOK "What Do You Do During Your Life in The World?" and find out what is written there?  No surprise, we will find that it's the blank one. BUT if only we know... it's still waiting for us what we will write down there to continue the story that has been written down yesterday... Will it be the last page, we don't know. Only Allah knows about that. So by that, let's hope that whenever and wherever we end up our story in certain page, we will end it up with the good story and happy ending. ameen...

Wallahu'alam bishshowab. Allah knows best.
