today's entry is rather simple, but the title is so catchy, i'm lovin' it! *please don't hate me*
tomorrow marks the day we Dental students will be hanging out with each other for two weeks. it's going to be tough, so, please pray for all of us.
something happened this time around last year. so, this whole morning, i've been thinking and wandering if the same thing would happen again this year. so what happened last year?
cut story short, there was this one student who was super tired and fell asleep on the table right after lecture. by the time we came back from prayers, the student was still there, sleeping. my friends and i were guessing the student have to performed prayers. and they pushed me to ask the student. i, for once, was super shocked!
"err, why me? why so random?"
"coz you are a student from an Islamic school, you have the right to advice"
to be honest, when it comes to things related to religion, everybody gets sensitive. since we don't know if the student here is a male or a female, i'll provide you the scenario for both.
imagine if i walked up to a female student and told her to perform prayers, she would definitely burst into tears and start yelling at me. it would be the same in the case of a guy, minus the tears.
ema, what are you saying? just forget about the fact that the student have not performed prayers? how could you ema?
okay, chill people. last year, what i did was i left the student, in hopes that a closer friend to the student would drag the student for prayers. i have no idea what happened. but this time around, i have made up my mind. like it or not, the student will have to perform prayers, only if the student dozes off at prayers' time.
i watched a video by MatLuthfi and in the video, he opened up my eyes about talking your friends into doing good deeds, in a more casual way. don't preach them, talk to them. provide them solutions. give them time. be patient.
i have no idea how am i going to walk up to the student and ask the student to follow me for prayers, well, maybe i'm thinking too much. but, i seek Allah's help to give me courage if any of this was to happen tomorrow.
will update soon. thanks for reading.
