If tomorrow never comes..

Appreciation- According to Oxford Dictionaries, it’s The recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something . For my little niece, must be chocolates and toys. Well in my book, it’s something I’ve not seen much in this world.

We nowadays, are ungrateful. We take every single thing for granted; friends,family,happiness,success, in short: LIFE. We take our lives for granted and everything that falls within it.

I barely know what my best friend thinks of me, I don’t know what value do I have in my best friend’s life, I have no idea if I have made my parents proud or not, I don’t know whether my sister hates me like they show in dramas and I am also pretty sure that my best friend doesn’t know whether I value our friendship, or my parents don’t know how much I love them, or my sister doesn’t know that.

But why is it so? Why is it so that I have them with me most of the time and yet I don’t know how they feel or  they don’t know how I feel? ‘Cause we don’t express, do we? We don’t appreciate, do we?

Abu Burda narrates, That his father said, "The Prophet sent Mu'adh and Abu Musa to Yemen telling them. 'Treat the people with ease and don't be hard on them; give them glad tidings and don't fill them with aversion; and love each other, and don't differ."

Things come and go, but never do we know it’s value ‘til we need it. We never appreciate life and everything which we are blessed with.

"Any blessing you are given is from God." 16:53

and

"Your Lord has decreed : "The more you thank Me, the more I give you. But if you turn unappreciative, then My retribution is severe." 14:7

If people started appreciating, there would be more peace, love and humanity in the world. If only people knew what they meant to you, things would be better.

Now, I ask, What would happen if tomorrow never comes? Will they know how much you loved them? Did you try in every way, to show them everyday? What if one of yours’ time on Earth was through?

See I have lost people in the past who didn’t knew what they meant to me, and never would I want that to happen again. Now I live with the regret.

So, appreciate. Show the love you have inside. Don’t take anything for granted. Pay gratitude to God and value everything, tell that someone you love what you are thinking of. So avoid that circumstance where there is no second chance. ‘Cause what if tomorrow never comes?

"I am stronger than that!"

Every morning we wake up, another day, another journey.. But, there are many whose last tomorrow was today...

Some wake up excited, happy and all energetic because for them it's another fascinating and prodigious day, while others, for them, it’s a strenuous and grievous day.

I have woke up lots of times and wanted to sleep again, too scared to face what’s ahead, and I think that many of you might have wanted the same. But why? Why are we not ready to wake up? Why are we backing out?
I believe that it is simply because we are not who we set out to be. Along the way, either we forgot or this world made us forget. When everything is going smoothly and suddenly we come across crooked rugged pathway we lose faith.Our hopes are destroyed just because calamities struck us. Does that make us sound weak? Yes it does. What happened to us? How did we become so broken? We lost faith in Allah..

He the most Exalted said:

"And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him."

(65:3)

Life has a way of getting to us. No matter what has happened, something good is always around the corner and the sun will always shine again. I have backed out on life many times, but I have always found hope. The hardest thing to do at times is to gather yourself, all those little pieces, and tell yourself you can do it, but can you do it? I called it “hardest” not “impossible”.

Our thoughts are far-fetched and our patience is lessening. If we don’t work hard on ourselves, we can never make it.

The society plays a major role in destroying us and breaking us apart. It kills you, leaves you weeping, makes your heart ache,make you scream and makes your soul bleed. It pressurizes our mind, till we stop believing, its degrades till we stop living. And the worst part is, we are part of this society. So hell yeah, the way others make us feel, weep, ache, scream and bleed.. We ourselves have done the same to many..

Pain comes in many forms, some you can handle,other, you have no choice but handle.

Relationship bonds weaker than spider’s web, friendship hanging on cliffhanger,trust fading, falsehood trading places with truth,imagination running wild put thoughts too pessimistic. More hearts are breaking, and people are less understanding.

Everything around us, we’re afraid of it. We find as if no one is there anymore. Well, At Times, you have to give everything up and be your own superhero.

Take out an old photo album of you, and see if that kid knows what to do. I have a childhood picture of myself in the room, it gives hope.

Wipe away the tears, you don’t need tissues anymore, look yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself “I am stronger than that!”

Someone once said,

“No pain, No gain.”

So we may endure frightening waves pounding and crashing our fragile craft in frigid water. But we also experience twilight sky and calm waters.

So just put your faith in Allah. pray to Him and Everything is gonna be alright, I promise.

“Might not be tonight, Might not be the next day.. But one day, everything is going to be okay...”
