Hampir setiap hari, saya akan jumpa dia di prayer room, setiap kali jumpa, kami masing-masing hanya akan anggukkan kepala, senyum, kami tidak pernah berbual dan selalunya berlalu begitu sahaja selesai solat.
Seperti biasa, saya solat di sebelah dia, dan sebaik saja solat berakhir, tiba-tiba dia duduk menghadap saya.
"Do you have time sister?"
"Ya, sure."
Kami berkenalan sekejap, kemudian dia minta saya tasmi' hafazan qurannya.
Dia baca dua muka surat daripada apa yang dia hafaz pada sebelah pagi , masya Allah.
Rupanya-rupanya, dia mempunyai 3 orang anak, dan dua daripadanya sedang menghafaz Al-Quran. Anaknya seorang sudah menjadi Hafiz al-Quran di usia 14 tahun.
So I asked her a bit on how she do it.
Rupanya selama ini, lebih kurang dalam tempoh 5 tahun ini dia akan luangkan masa selama lebih kurang 10 minit setiap hari selesai daripada solat untuk menghafaz Al-Quran.
Kagumnya, disamping menghabiskan pengajian PhD, mempunyai anak, masih mampu konsisten menghafaz al-Quran.
She had done many great things that most of us cannot imagine to achieve.
And suddenly she asked me a question;
"Are you married farah? "
I shake my head obviously.
"No, not yet"
"Well then dear, you have a lot of time to do it...."
"Errr.. insya Allah, Insya Allah" Saya angguk sambil senyum.
"Do it a page a time, especially after fajr prayer."
"Insya Allah, thank you." Then, I smiled at her.
"Remember Allah, and He will make the mountains on your shoulders feel like a clump of dust which can be easily blown away. But forget Allah, and even small obstacles will feel insurmountable." Dia senyum.
Saya angguk lagi.
She said a lot of other things in that short span of time, but this point got to me the most. After running in the rat race for some time, this sister's advice felt like cool, fresh water pouring down upon the desert of heart.
And that was the best 'teatime' I ever had.
Drinking from the well of faith is definitely, definitely better than tea.
What a nice day! Alhamdulillah for all His blessings :)
