Cleanliness

Text: Rozanah Zakaria

'Cleanliness is a part of Iman'.

I know and realise that for a long time since I was a small kid. Been an obedient kid of never-once-played-truant for any classes since then, be it daily or religious classes, I guess I had reap lots of benefits and aplenty knowledge from them. Yet, in it was the sad truth, I never truly embraced them.

During this MCO or Movement Restriction Order, or well-known as Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan or its short form PKP in Malay, this phrase had brought to to a 'new realisation' on its meaning. I finally 'realise' that something is amiss in my life. finally! What a blessing!

Let's take for instance, I usually do daily cleaning on the one restroom I always frequent on the upper floor of my dwelling. As for the rest (another 3 on the lower floor) would be having their turns once in a while - that also sometimes skipped for aplenty reasons. Those days, my life was 'so busy' with so many things to the extend I wasn't sure of what I really wanted in life. Maybe one of it was money, I guess? Well, I guess. *sigh*

But now, almost everything changed. Truly, I start to realise, the one verse in the Qur'an (36:82), 'Innamaa amruhuu, izaa aroo da shai an an yaquu la lahuu kun fa ya kuun', means, 'His command, when He intends anything is only to say to it: Be, so it is.'

Till next time, let's better ourselves in everything we do.
