Somehow the task of washing was not as easy as Mama Tok thought since our washing machine was not big enough to hold the load. Mama Tok could easily sent it to the laundry shop but somehow instinct felt that they would spin it for hours and end up having holes on the soft fabric..or maybe Mama Tok was just plain stingy that morning to spend on laundry shop!
Finally MamaTok decided to go through the task by just 'sprinkling' it with water and hang it in the garden in the bright sunshine
morning of June.
morning of June.
Mama Tok decided to leave it longer in the bright sunshine hoping it would become dryer and fresher....
But somehow our plan is not the same as Allah's plan.
Suddenly without warning from the blue skies, it rain.....pouring heavily and staining the bedding with patches of dust from the sky.
Mama Tok twin boys tried their best to save the fluffy bedding but it was just too late.By the time they carried it indoor, it was wet and soggy.

By night time, Mama Tok learnt a great lesson from the holy Quran that we cannot have everything in life. Allah will continue to test us with major or minor trials (the wet bedding!) that will test our patience.
'Or is the human being to have whatever he desires ?
'Or is the human being to have whatever he desires ?
-Verses from Holy Quran (An-Najm:24 ).
The answer is definately a big -NO.
The answer is definately a big -NO.
Why?
Because everything we 'have' are not ours. Our family, our homes, our bank accounts, our health ,our energy, our ideas are not ours.
Allah lend it to us for a period of time to test how we 'manage' it and to see who is grateful among us by sharing what we have with others.
The fresh fluffy bedding is Mama Tok's small effort to share with the love ones.
May Allah accepts this small effort as what Allah promises in Holy Quran:
'And that the human being attains only what he strives for.
And that his efforts will be witnessed.

Mama Tok Quiet Moments 'Soup For The Soul'
Allah will always look at our efforts no matter how the results are.
Our efforts is to share what we have with others.
Our love, our homes, our wealth is for sharing.
So be grateful by sharing with others.
And be grateful that we are among who can share...
