REVOLUSI HAYAT





Hidup perlu ada revolusi. Perubahan ke arah kebaikan yg lebih baik dari semalam.

Mengapa perlu revolusi dalam kehidupan, kerana Allah menghendakkan begitu. Firman Allah bermaksud: “Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum, sehingga mereka mengubahnya sendiri.”

Dalam gerak langkah menuju kebaikan, kita tidak lepas dari tersadung akar kesilapan. Juga tidak lepas dari terpijak duri dugaan. Yang bernama kehidupan juga tidak lari dari sangkar maut. Kita diingatkan setiap hari dalam bacaan solat. “Sesungguhnya solatku, ibadatku, hidupku dan matiku hanya untuk Allah Tuhan sekalian alam.”

Lapis-lapis bumi menunggu kita untuk bersemadi. Maka sebelum itu, kita wajib berjasa kepada kerak bumi. Dan jiwaku ini kelak jika tiada siapa mengenang di bumi,maka aku ingin di kenang makhluk di langit.

Aku ingin merovolusikan seluruh hayatku kepada Allah azza wajalla. Apa yg aku mampu ialah menulis di atas kanvas putih maya ini. Kelak jika tiada siapa yang menyedari bila matiku, tulisanku ini adalah bukti saksi kewujudanku di mayapada. Aku tidak mengharap anugerah dan pujian dari sesiapa. Jangan memuji kerana pujian itu kelak bakal memakan semangat diri untuk berubah.

Tempias perubahan mula membasahi rona diri. Walaupun basah langkah ini perlu diteruskan. Alhamdulillah ada tempat berteduh di rumah yg kunamakan mahligai hayat. Hujan menimpa membasuh kesedihan diri selepas ditinggalkan.

Lontaran nasihat dari ayahanda membongkar kelemahan dan kelelahan diri. Lelah untuk melangkah dalam seribu kelemahan. Angin nasihat yang menyapa meniup bara membakar semangat juang diri untuk terus hidup dan berubah.

Senyum tawa riang anakanda pengubat jiwa lara.

Entah sampai bila. Mungkin sampai jasadi ini bersemadi dalam kerak bumi, bersarmadi.
Kantung kebajikan masih penuh untuk menyara hidup. Begitulah riak makan gaji. Sesekali rasa untuk bangun berniaga, tapi belum cukup bertenaga. Bisnes perlukan pencapaian. Apa yang ingin dicapai? Kekayaan? Apakah kekayaan itu bisa merevolusikan hayat diri? Atau sekadar memuaskan nafsu dan terhenti bila direnggut nyawa oleh malaikat yang menanti. Sedar diri.

Langkah menuju kemewahan tidak pasti. Rasa cukup andai dapat membayar kereta, rumah dan PTPTN. Mahu beristeri, entah siapa yang sudi.

Nyalaan obor hayat tidak semarak dulu. Dulu berkobar-kobar dengan semangat menuntut ilmu di Taman Ilmu dan Budi. Kini longlai di taman Astakona.

Tiada daya upayaku melainkan daya upaya yg diberikan Allah. Lahaulawala quwwata illa billahil aliyyil azim..
