Pulau Pandan Jauh Ke Tengah

Once in a while in the span of our lifetime, we are shaken by events that take us completely by surprise.

In a matter of 24 hours, events that took years to build up unfolded within hours.

Most of the time, when faced by such events, we have to do what our gut feeling tell us to do. Hopefully we are guided by our values and principles. But most importantly, we must pray to Allah that our conscience is guided by Allah all the time, that we always do what is right.

We can never be sure that we do the right thing - only time can tell.

I do not know why certain things must happen; but I am sure things always happen for a reason. Whether it's a good reason or bad reason, remains to be seen.

I am still confused whether I did the right thing or not. But then, as always it's between us and Allah - and Pulau Pandan after all, always jauh ke tengah.

To some people who read this, take comfort. Be at peace. Peace comes from within. So seek within.
