Alhamdulillah..this entry i would like to write in english..although my english is very poor..but i need to try..so, i hope, be patient while reading my entry..
Someone told me this,
"Some things gotta change. It gotta happen. For the sake of faith. Even it hurts a lot."
But I would tell this to myself,
"It couldn't hurt that bad due to a very strong conviction. InsyaAllah. Have faith in Him. You'll be really thankful though you're facing lots and lots of bumps in life as it proves that Allah loves you."
Ok. Stop it right there. Allah loves me. And what more should I ask?
I never hope. But I pray. And I believe that Allah would listen to my prayer. No matter what, where and when. He knows the best for us. Sometimes He would answer my prayer by giving me what I ever wished for. But then sometimes He would take it back from me, as He knows that the thing is no more best for me. And there is time He would take it just for a while, so that I'll seek for Him and thank Him for the chance He gave, and then He'll give it back if that's the best. And for the wishes that He didn't grant me with, I just believe in two certainty. Either the time isn't suitable yet or He shall give something better. There's never a NO as the answer for our prayer.
All those things that happen to me made me feel so close to Him. And I never want to let the feeling of being attached to Allah to go away even for just a second. Never ever.
"When Allah is your friend, who is your enemy?"
I want to keep my word. I wand to hold on to my promise. A promise that I've made to those I love because of Him. I promise that I'll always pray the best for them. I'll never forget them in my du'a. No matter how far we've been apart. No matter how long we didn't see each other. No matter what it takes to achieve the sweetness of ukhuwah. So that we shall feel the halawatul iman (sweetness of iman) that Allah has promised for those who love someone for the sake of Allah.
On one occasion the Prophet (pbuh) finished the prayer and turned toward the people and said, “O people, listen and understand. Allah has slaves who are neither prophets nor martyrs, but both the prophets and martyrs envy them for their closeness to Allah.” A bedouin stepped forward, pointed to the Messenger of Allah and said, “O Messenger of Allah, tell us about these people.” The Prophet was pleased with the bedouin’s request and said, “They are from various peoples and tribes who have no ties of relationship between them. They love each other purely for the sake of Allah. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will present them pulpits of light for them to sit on. Their faces will be light and their clothes will be light. The people will be scared on the Day of Resurrection, but they will not be scared. They are the friends of Allah who will not have any fear upon them nor will they grieve.” [Ahmad with a hassan chain]
Friends on that Day will be foes, one to another except the Righteous. [Az-Zukhruf, 67]
Alhamdulillah. Now I just realise that there's no such thing as being detached from our family, friends, brothers and sisters in Islam. No matter who are they and how do they treat us. Because we're keeping in touch with them by praying for their best every day and night. I will always love to keep the remembrance of them in my doa rabithah every morning and evening after reciting the ma'thurat. It's such a very wonderful feeling I could feel. And I will always smile after reciting the doa. Alhamdulillah. :)
"Ukhuwah bukan terletak pada indahnya pertemuan tapi pada ingatan seseorang terhadap saudaranya di dalam doanya." (Imam Al-Ghazali)
