Yada yada. Same old. Same old. I re-read one of Hlovate's novel ; Rooftop Rant. And I bumped into this hadith on page 536.
"None of you should long for death because of calamity had befalled him...and if he cannot, but long for death, then pray, 'Dear Allah, let me live as long as life is better for me, and take my life if death is better for me'"
Suddenly, it hits me really hard as realisation strikes me. How come I didn't realise it printed on this novel? Maybe I was too small when I last read this. Too immature. I'm not saying that I'm matured now, just a little... wise?
How many times we'd encounter the news of people gave up on their lives?
When the situation is at its worst. And when you think there's no power to let the walls of disconsolate, wistful and sadness that's beleaguering you, just think of this hadith. And if possible, don't abscond yourself from the perturbing problems. Clearly, there's a way out cause Allah is always there with his promising words that there will always a way.
Keep reminding yourself (and myself too) that you'r not alone :)
