Turn to Allah, and Allah Will Turn Back to You!
Dec 23rd, 2011
On the first week of my job at my current workplace where we are a project team for the new airport complex, i met our office’s driver. He was talking about how he got the job as a driver. Before joining the company I’m working in, he was working at one of the palm related company (if I’m not mistaken). It occurs in my mind he’s married with kids and the job he’s doing i believe pays him very little. Actually we met on my first day at the office. He just came out from the prayer room praying Solat Al-Duha. Back to our conversation, he told me how his previous job pays better than his current job. He has to leave his previous job because the company was shifting to other location. In order to stay working with the company he and his family has to move or he needs to travel almost two hours everyday and if he stay with the job he will not be able to send and picked up his kids from school. One thing he said that really hits me is that “Allah knows best, He’ll help me get through this, Allah is the one Who give us sustenance”. Since then, every time he came across my mind, I pray to Allah to help and bless him. A very strong and hardworking guy, gave his fate fully to Allah and love his family so much. I’m very sure Allah will not neglect him.
Almost one year pass by since we had the talk. I went for hajj and just after I came back I got to know he is promoted to a new position where he is now one of the team members on the client side for monitoring the construction of the new airport terminal building where the total development cost of the project is estimated at RM 4 Billion. He is an inspiration for me. I met him early this week and say my congratulations to him. He still remember the talk we had and he told me “I’ve told you, Allah will help me”. Although tears did not came from my eyes, but he did shook my heart well. And yesterday, at the progress meeting for the project he was there sitting next to me. From working as a driver then become one of the key person that will make sure Malaysians will be flying from the new airport. He is a man to be inspired of.
