Strong, Stronger, Strongest!

Bismillah al-rahman al-raheem

Some people claim they are strong enough to...

Uplift 10000000000 pounds weight??!!

or even...

Win over a weaker opponent!

even stronger...!

Pulling this big airplane!

but fewer people realize that they are actually incapable of...

Restraining themselves from being the victim of unreasonable anger!

Yes, you are strong 

When you defeated your opponent.

Yes, you are stronger 

When you bear a huge burden which a normal human being can't do

and

Yes! you are the strongest

When your smile never vanished 

At times when happiness became perished

and the world keep provoking your anguish,

Be the strongest!

I know it's hard, I realize myself too cannot guarantee to remain serene at difficult times. We have seen a lot of responses when man of our kind faced provocations, listen to something that might not even true, FITNA! What if those news are true? May Allah guide our decision to the right path of life, may He keep us away from astray. Indeed, the strongest person, the strongest Muslim are not those who were at the first line of battle, neither those who went in every battles fighting the kuffar, but the strongest person is one who able to resist the temptations to show his or her emotional outburst. Anger, just like a burning fire, and things that make you angry are just like gasoline which surely make the flame bigger and bigger and bigger. If you let this happen, you are not going to survive the fire!

Pride and Prejudice

So, jangan marah-marah. Respect other's opinions, try to listen to them, they might have a better idea than you do. Get your ego on top of your head doesn't mean that you will maintain your pride, rather, you let your ego to become more prejudice towards other people. A good and effective society doesn't work that way. Be an empty cup, so that you can listen, comprehend what other people needs. Don't be a full-stubborn cup, no matter how much water flows in, the water will spill out, spill out again, no new idea are heard, no new lessons are learnt.

Be not only a strong, or stronger Muslim, but be the strongest Muslim! :)
