Mind Your Manners Please...


One day, I was in the train, going back home. The train was really packed! Like in a sardine can! I had to arrange my feet to stand perfectly so that I would not fall. Furthermore, the handle was too far, so I only rely on the stability of my feet at that time. And then, it went worse.

Packed, but not like this...

The train stopped by Mid Valley, one of the station with many passengers that are going to ride on and off. Some people managed to enter the coach. And then, come a group of young ladies. Half of them were inside, but half of them were still outside. Although I think there was no place to even breathe, they still pushed people to go inside. They push and push and push until the lady managed to be inside. I was the one who suffered. I was going to fall! I couldn't stand it anymore! I tried to reach the nearest handle to keep me stand up. At last, I was standing with feet wide apart and between them was my bag. -_- All the way I had to keep my feet like that until I arrived at the destination.

All people, regardless races, religions, or anything should know the manners. It is acceptable to do ridiculous things only if you are a baby. Are you a baby?

In schools, we are taught about Morals and also for Muslims, Islamic Education. But then, what happened when we get out of school? What happened to all the lessons you've studied? Of course, only some of us did it. I'm not blaming everyone. But let's take the lessons from this story.

For me, I think it is better for them to let others to go first rather than pushing. Or, they can also enter other coaches. There's nothing different, right? They can still reach their destination at the same exact time.

“...and don't throw yourselves using your hands into destruction, and do good. Indeed, Allah loves the good doers. “
[Al-Baqarah 2:195]

So, by doing good to others, Allah will love us. People will love us. And also other creatures will love us. That's really good, isn't it?

Thus, think before you do it!
