Whenever someone face hardship or difficulty, most will sit back and wondering why is God unfair to him or her. He/she will forget easily that whatever happens in his/her life is Gods creation and there is a blessing in it irrespective whether it is in favour of him/herself or not. A Muslim MUST believes in Qada and Kadar. Fate that is being agreed upon by oneself before being born into this world. Thats the reason for accusing nature for most incidents that happens and the popular tag "Act of God" has been taken as a joke to many Malaysians emulating someone who created that tagline.
Recently I was on my way to Shah Alam through KESAS Highway. My fuel meter shows a fuel warning that the tank must be filled. I decided to stop and fill at the Awan Besar R&R because there are three petrol stations at the location. Unfortunately all the three stations were not doing business eventhough it is open. I think there was a power failure and the pumps can be operated. So the question should petrol stations have standby generators? Maybe a common generator to be shared by a few businesses which is more economical than an individual genrator.
I moved on and planning to fill up at another station near Proton before exiting into Shah Alam. However I was unfortunate because after the Sunway Toll Plaza the engine starts choking and dies off. Just a few minutes after stopping, a KESAS Ronda vehicle came and they offered to buy petrol for me. I oblighed. While waiting I open up the bonnet and found out that there is a leak at the power steering pump. Upon checking the power steering oil, it was near empty. If the car had not stalled, I would have not knew about the leak and further driving might dry up the power steering mechanism which will result in a more costly repair.
The pump cost RM 220 with RM40 or labour and things are fixed.
That is what I consider as a blessing. The empty fuel tank lead me to detect a leak in the power steering pump and save me a heavier repair bill. Is that not a blessing in disguise?
The morale of the incident is, NEVER accuse God of whatever bad things happens to you. Take it positively just like the belief that when someone becomes ill or suffer pain, its sign that God loves you. He wash away some of your sin on this world before you move on to the afterworld which is forever.
