We plan, He decides..

The idea to write this entry came when an incident occured to one of our friends in Al Jubail. Kak Sarimah's father has gone to meet his Creator on last Wednesday at 2.00pm (M@laysian time). Alfatihah...


Kak Sarimah has planned to visit his 93 year old father in August as that will be the earliest time her husband is allowed to take leave. Currently, the plant is starting up. Everyone is busy and all leaves are freezed. A few days before last Wednesday, She received a phone call from her sister informing that her father was in critical stage. He didn't wake up from bed as he used to. It seems that she can't wait anymore. The husband applied for emergency leave. It was approved. However, all flights are fully booked. The next available flight will only be next week.


Yes, it was sad that a dear daughter wouldn't had a chance to meet the beloved father for the last time. But, what can we do as human. We could plan but He's (Allah) the one to decide. No matter how well our plan is, no matter how early we set things up, if He says NO, that would mean NO. We are bound by an unseen limitation. All we can do is, pray and keep praying, hoping our plan will run smooth without hurdle. Insyaallah...


As for Kak Sarimah, her father is already 'there'. The best thing to do is for her to perform good deeds like reciting Ayatul Quran and dedicate to her late father.


As for me and the rest of us, we need to tawakkal to Allah. We still have a long journey to go. We could plan and struggle to make sure our journey will be like how we want it to be but it will up to Allah. Continue praying for Allah to grant our wish. Insyaallah...
