Special.

"Promise me you'll always remember what a special person you are."
-written on the farewell card, given to me from my dearest fren = )
Ok! Today's topic is 'Special'.
There's 1 song, I really liked it when I was juz a little girl. (From Barney! heehee..)
It goes like this:
You are special, you're the only one.
You're the only one like you!
The world is special,
Just because you're here
You should know that we love you!
O you are special! Special!
Everyone is special.
Everyone in his or her own way...
O you are special! Special!
Everyone is special.
Everyone in his or her own way....
Everyone??
Everyone in his or her own way!!! = )

Life is full of varieties. Animals, plants, nature... even us! Some of us are dark, fair, tall, short, thin, fat, big, small... Well, u get what I mean. Wonderful I say, the creations of Allah. But my examples above were from the physical aspects, right?
That's not what I wanna talk abt... really. Hmm.. I'm talking about personality!

You know, yesterday.. a fren showed me a video. (http://www.iluvislam.com/v1/readarticle.php?article_id=2747) That video shows many hadiths from our beloved Rasulullah s.a.w. Many many hadiths. But 1 made me sigh.. Astaghfirullahal'aziim. Sighing is not good by the way. It's a sign of disgratitude.. (tak brsyukur). A reminder for myself. Well, let us see the hadith! (Sry, it's in BM. Translations only upon requests, thanks!)

Dari 'Aisyah r.a. isteri Nabi S.A.W. sabdanya:
"Sesungguhnya ramah tamah dalam segala urusan menjadikan urusan itu cantik (berjaya). Tanpa ramah tamah nescaya setiap urusan menjadi buruk."

O_o 'Ramah tamah'. Err... what is it in English again?? Err.. friendliness perhaps.. cheerfulness.. in the way of speaking... haha.. is it acceptable? Well, let's take it as friendliness. N let me refer to myself... Lydia binti Azmi. Not a friendly person.. hmm... except towords SOME people. Not good, not good... hmm.. Prefers to keep quiet, unless excited by something.. Or when talking abt anything which touches my interests, such as 'family'. hmm... hmm.. hmm...

I dont know, it seems like it's not me... to be friendly and everything. But this reminds me of two frenz. Both very friendly + cheerful. But they differ in many ways. N both r lovely... heehee.. But I'm not like tht... hmm.. I dont know how to be like tht. hmm.. I'll try. Maybe smiling will do the trick!! heehee.. I cant be friendly, but a friendly smile is not that difficult, is it?? K, enough abt me!!

Abt personality right? hmm..
Let's go back in time... Rasulullah s.a.w. has a fren. His name is Saidina Omar. If I'm not mistaken, he's a strong, brave person. Ready to protect anyone going against him for being a Muslim. He even announced himself as a Muslim. Wow!! Not everyone can do that eyh. He sure is special! Don't you think so? Of course there are many examples.. cause there are many special people! There sure is!!! = )

Conclusion.. difference is a good thing. One that we should celebrate. Islam needs each n every one of us. But try our best to be the best.. In our own way. AS LONG AS we never give up on approaching Allah, follow Allah's order, show Allah how we love Allah more than anything. N set Rasulullah s.a.w. as our main role model. Rasulullah s.a.w. is the BEST ROLE MODEL anyway... Follow Rasulullah s.a.w.! It's the way to show how we love Rasulullah s.a.w. Wallahu'alam.

My dear friends.. You may not notice your speciality. It may still be hidden in you. Find it! And use it well. Use it in the path of Allah. Never forget that it is a gift from Allah. Alhamdulillah. Show your gratitude, show how grateful you are. And my dear friends. Promise me you'll always remember what a special person you are. Salam. = )

(This post is kinda long n messy. It's like I'm not trying to make a point. I'm trying to make dozens of points!!! hahaha... Sorry yall!! Till next time.)
