Ikhlas..

I don’t know the exact word in English..

I don’t even know if it’s originally Indonesian..
I think it’s adapted from Arabic

Until 3 months ago..
I’d always thought that it meant
Truly acceptance
accepting something truly, without pretencious, without any grudge, without any motives behind it..

Then 3 months ago..
I heard it from someone very respectful..
And it sounded very logical..
Because if it’s not logical, for me,
It will sound fake..
Ikhlas does mean all of the above..accepting something truly, without pretencious, without any grudge, without any motives behind it..
But..the key to be able to do all that is, that you have to believe that it’s in God’s plan that something happens..
And everything happens for a reason..no coincidence

That’s why, when you do that, you’re doing it gladly, big heartedly..
because it’s based on your faith and trust..in God..
how hard, how difficult the thing is..

It’s as simple as that..
Just be Ikhlas!!
Good Luck!..
