Ask your Imaan!

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang,

Assalamu'alaikum wbt :) May you are in the best state of imaan.

Take a moment. Forget about the world, forget about your families, your friends, the money you have in your bank account or wherever you put it. Forget everything that relates to the world. Just take a deep breath and calm down.

Just calm down, close your eyes if you need to.... then open them when you are ready...

Read the following texts with your heart, ponder them upon yourself, hayati dan dalami maknanya.

What do you search for in this life? What is the reason for your existence here, in this world? Is it just to study? To prepare yourself for a better future? But... what if the future does not turn out the way you want it to be? Better yet, what if.... what if.... death comes first before your dreams come true... I mean, lets face it, all of us, our names are on the waiting list of Izrael, angel of death. When the time comes, everything around you means nothing anymore. Nothing can help you, no one can help you. No one except Allah, no one except all the good deeds that you have done, just for the sake of Allah.

Death will come to you..

TO YOU!

The question is, are you ready? Have you done enough good deeds that when it's time for you to return back to Him, He will be very pleased with you?

It's true that nobody is perfect. Nobody will ever be perfect because perfection is only He and only His. That's the thing, Allah does not ask you to be perfect. He knows you are just a normal human being, there are times where you slip and make mistakes, intentionally or accidentally make sins, big or small, (but may Allah protect us all from these), but the weird thing is that even so, knowing this, still refuse to make du'a, asking for His mercy and forgiveness. Is this not embarrassing? Are you not ashamed of Allah?

It's like, a stranger comes up to you and gives you 100 dollars just because he feels like it. Try imagining this. Everyday, he gives you 100dollars. Won't you at least say 'thank you' as a sign of appreciation? At least initially you would show your gratitude. Over time, however, because this has become too normal for you, you would take the 100dollars and walks away without saying anything. Am I wrong? Really? Okay then, answer this. How many times a day do you actually say Alhamdulillah SINCERELY to Allah for giving you another day to live? For giving you a perfect health? For giving you the strength to survive in this world? The countless blessings in your life. Not just say the word, but actually mean it through your actions.

With regards of all this, all that He wants in return is? Is? Your devotion to Him. That's all. Your love and your devotion.

How? Understand the meaning of 'life in hereafter'. Understand it with your heart. Yes, you believe it exists, but how strong is your belief? With this belief, you will see this life as nothing but a ticket to heaven. That is how you should see it. You will appreciate each moment and spend them wisely. Everything you do is for the sake of Allah and His mercy, because you hope that one fine day, you will see Him, meet Him, The Almighty.

Ask yourself, how close are you to Allah? How well do you know your religion? Are you a muslim by name or by heart?

It's never too late to ask for forgiveness from Allah. After all, He is The Most Loving, Most Forgiving and all praises is only to Allah 'Azza Wajalla.

May we all be rewarded with His Jannah Firdausi.

(segala kekurangan datang daripada diri saya sendiri dan kebaikan itu hanya datang daripada Allah semata.)

Fi amanillah :)
