Been impatient?
Been a while since I posted anything here. Spending the holidays visiting the central part of Japan (Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara), and it was a lot of fun. Well, probably too much fun that my research seems to be on holiday until today when I finally found a blur light far away in the horizon :-P.
Listening to a speech, and the verse I quote below are good thing to be learnt (disclaimer: not that I've been impatient lately, it's just as if when those days are coming, I will not be ill-prepared).
Al-Ma'arij:70

[19] Verily, man (disbeliever) was created very impatient;
[20] Irritable (discontented) when evil touches him;
[21] And niggardly when good touches him;-
[22] Except those devoted to Salat (prayers)
[23] Those who remain constant in their Salat (prayers);
[24] And those in whose wealth there is a known right,
[25] For the beggar who asks, and for the unlucky who has lost his property and wealth, (and his means of living has been straitened);
[26] And those who believe in the Day of Recompense,
[27] And those who fear the torment of their Lord,
[28] Verily! The torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure,
[29] And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts from illegal sexual acts) .
[30] Except with their wives and the (women slaves and captives) whom their right hands possess, for (then) they are not to be blamed,
[31] But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers.
[32] And those who keep their trusts and covenants;
[33] And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
[34] And those who guard their Salat (prayers) well ,
[35] Such shall dwell in the Gardens (i.e. Paradise) honoured.

[19] Sesungguhnya manusia diciptakan bersifat keluh kesah lagi kikir.
[20] Apabila ia ditimpa kesusahan ia berkeluh kesah,
[21] dan apabila ia mendapat kebaikan ia amat kikir,
[22] kecuali orang-orang yang mengerjakan salat,
[23] yang mereka itu tetap mengerjakan salatnya,
[24] dan orang-orang yang dalam hartanya tersedia bagian tertentu,
[25] bagi orang (miskin) yang meminta dan orang yang tidak mempunyai apa-apa (yang tidak mau meminta),
[26] dan orang-orang yang mempercayai hari pembalasan,
[27] dan orang-orang yang takut terhadap azab Tuhannya.
[28] Karena sesungguhnya azab Tuhan mereka tidak dapat orang merasa aman (dari kedatangannya).
[29] Dan orang-orang yang memelihara kemaluannya,
[30] kecuali terhadap istri-istri mereka atau budak-budak yang mereka miliki maka sesungguhnya mereka dalam hal ini tiada tercela.
[31] Barangsiapa mencari yang di balik itu, maka mereka itulah orang-orang yang melampaui batas.
[32] Dan orang-orang yang memelihara amanat-amanat (yang dipikulnya) dan janjinya.
[33] Dan orang-orang yang memberikan kesaksiannya.
[34] Dan orang-orang yang memelihara salatnya.
[35] Mereka itu (kekal) di surga lagi dimuliakan.
