"Jika gaji kita RM 5000 tetapi kita kerja kuat seperti gaji RM 20000, Allah SWT akan berikan beza RM 15000 itu samada dalam bentuk duit, anak soleh, hidup bahagia dan lain-lain.
Jika gaji kita RM 5000 tapi kita kerja malas macam gaji RM 2000, beza RM 3000 itu Allah akan tarik samada dalam bentuk kecurian, kesusahan, anak nakal dan seumpamanya." - Prof. Dr. Muhaya.
Sebab itulah semua mereka yang berjaya mempunyai tabiat "GIve more" kan.. Firman Allah SWT dalam Al-Quran pun ada mengatakan yang Allah sukakan umatnya bersungguh2 bila melakukan sesuatu pekerjaan yang baik. Wallahualam..
Sama2 kita berusaha dan berjaya dunia akhirat. Amin~ dipetik dari Prof Dr Muhaya
I've always wondered how my dad can afford to buy a lot of things, and lend people money and still be able to feed a family of seven.
My dad, never taught us to buy branded things. He always taught us to be humble and bleak. He says we have to belajar pandai pandai if we wanted to get the things we wanted.
I remember everytime we went to the shops, and wanted to get our stuff, he'd always says "tak boleh...abah punya duit tak cukup".
He's a government servant, and his job requires him to travel around the world. Every 4 years we move around. It sucks at times. As we have to pack, and make new friends. Sometimes I felt like a nomad.
Even though my dad always tells us, that we cannot afford this and that, no matter what, he has taught us that family comes first. Remember in Libya, he left us kids and mum who was in her pantang alone. He flew to Makkah. Reason is because he wanted to do Hajj, and he wanted to look his mother. On the last minute, my dad paid for my grandmother's Hajj.
He told us an amazing story, that lepas dia melontar, he made a niat to visit his mother, whom he's not seen yet since his touch down in Makkah. Allah being great and loving, he made his niat come true. Just as my dad turned around, my grandmother was there right behind him. And both mother and son, were reunited happily and was crying of joy.
He never fails to give his mother money every month. He even chipped in money to rennovate her house. He helps his family in every way he can.
He always reminds his children to never forget their roots. Every year during raya, he always reminds us to visit our relatives. We children try our best to make the visits, but time never permits us to do so.
Anyways, I don't want to write more, nanti kalau tertulis salah info, people will marah. Kalau ikutkan I want to write more, but I dare not. I'll just talk to Allah about how proud I am of him.
Back to the topic, my siblings and I always wonder, how my dad can get all the money, even though he says that his gaji is never enough to get things for us. I never believed him, until I saw his payslip a few years ago. The pay is not enough to feed a family of 7.
But how does he do it? Only God knows.
Hmm....a few days ago I came across this:
"Jika gaji kita RM 5000 tetapi kita kerja kuat seperti gaji RM 20000, Allah SWT akan berikan beza RM 15000 itu samada dalam bentuk duit, anak soleh, hidup bahagia dan lain-lain.

This is the answer to my wonders. If you work hard, Allah will give reward, and he will give you more than you actually earned. But if you don't work hard, yakni, not sincere in your work, than Allah will give you hardship. This is also note to self.
So dear all, do not make false assumptions. We struggled when we were growing up. My dad was the only bread winner in the family. Feeding a family of 7 aint an easy job. I remember at one point, mak made a small business, to help abah. She made custom made baju and sold roti bom to malaysian residence. But Alhamdullilah after many years of hard work, and many doas, lots of patience, Allah has given my family a lot of rezeki. He has successfully raised 5 kids to be successful in life, bukan aku nak berlagak, its the truth.
My Abang - he's considered a difficult child for my parents to raise, he didn't complete his studies, was a bum for a few months, my dad almost gave up on him because he was so stubborn and still is, now is an executive in a top paintball shop in Asia.
Me - I struggled in school. I never did well in exams. Became a teacher in early childhood. Have been teaching for 7 years. I've been working in the same company for almost 5 years. Now in the process of opening up a taska. Alhamdullilah. I didn't have to keluarkan modal to open up this taska. My current boss paid for everything (buying the house, rennovating it, and EVERYTHING else). I'm going to be running a taska on my own. Nervous, but excited.
My sister - She paid for her own higher education fees. My didn't couldn't really pay for it. She studied economics, and now she's an executive manager in an islamic bank. And she's also running a small business, and it seems to be doing well.
My brother - He is still studying, and will be finishing off soon. InsyaAllah. He is what I call a lost musician. With no formal music classes, he taught himself to play the guitar and sing. And now, he is on his way to make his first gig. Hope it goes well for him.
The baby of the family - This little guy is a genius in the making. He is in form 2 now, and hope he will finish his school when Abah retires.
People assume that we do not know the meaning of struggling. Just because we merantau, does not mean we don't struggle. We have experienced of what most people that I know have experience. I would love to write more, but time does not permit, I shall do so next time.
