TO MAT YIE.. TO ERR IS HUMAN TO FORGIVE IS DIVINE

Dear students,

It is so easy to cry in the face of difficulties like being humiliated right in front of our fellow students despite doing nothing wrong. Only those with a big heart, strong focus and determination will take it from positive side as that will help them grow stronger no matter what confront them. Thanks Allah our camping went smoothly as planned only tarnished by a few incidences which were beyond our control like waking up late for subuh prayers after burning ubi kayu the whole night .The teacher in charge Mr Ibrahim was so regretful that he punished those late performers of the subuh prayers. He deserves credits for his swift action before the illness becomes a plague. That's what we call it life as i never fail to mention in the class especially when things don't go our way.

Retribution, it is so hard to fathom but sometimes it holds water and reaches our logic. Many times we have committed mistakes or minor sins but we managed to escape ourselves from being caught red-handed like cheating in the exam, cheating to teachers for not finishing or submitting homeworks, loitering along the corridor, hanging out at a long wooden bench near the toilet or to a lesser degree , throwing sweet wrappers or plastic containers everywhere in a class or school area despite being told and nagged time and again by Mr Ibrahim and Ust Zakaria . You may have felt relieved at that time as God gave you a chance to survive the shame as no one took action against your behaviors. But remember, every single sin no matter how small it is will have to face retribution from Allah even as small as atom, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly which we ourselves are not aware of it at all as it sometimes was long overdue. But God never forget, who knows may be today's fateful day is pay day for our past mistakes. Hindu names it Hukum Karma, we muslim believe in Qoda' and Qodar.

So, from now on, keep telling our innerselves that we are in control of ourselves as we can react the way we please no matter what befalls us. Never resort to evil no matter what or how.Please exercise forgiveness as it takes extra courage to forgive and a courageous man is in fact a forgiving man.

God the Almighty is the most forgiving, so we as small as atom compared to countless other stars in the milky way, why is it so hard for us to forgive. To err is human and to forgive is divine. Forgiving is not a cowardice act as many believe. Instead, only the man with strong will power will offer forgiveness.

Forgive me if i am wrong as you are entitled to disagree.

Sir
