salam a'laikum.
currently at home. alhamdulillah.. but not for long. well, rehat bagi seorang daie adalah bukti kelalaiannya. must not be too fragile! be strong! Allah kan ada... ^_^
like i said, there are things that are not settled in "here". kept it silence... untill He sent me someone. someone who actually listened and showed me the light after a few weeks i had been in the dark alley. [erk??]
we often said that, we want to search for Allah's love right? ok, i usually said that. as if like, JOM carik cinta Allah!! somehow, the two hours conversation [almost] with the "honorable advisor" had made me look at CINTA ALLAH from a different perspective. serious, really really opened my eyes. trust me! no? ok fine, let me tell ya.
in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful.
actually, since we were still in our beloved mothers' wombs [respectively], we already get His love. do you get me? ok like this. without His love, we will not be born. without His love, we will not be able to get required nutrients and dissolve oxygen from our mothers via the umbilical cord. without His love, out hearts will not be fully functional while we are still in mothers' wombs. do you get me? or i just syok sendiri?
hurm... lets answer this question first. [i had questioned this before ^_^]
which one comes first, this universe or love?
[R E M I N D E R this is not the chicken and egg question ok]
if you answered universe, why?
is it because of, Allah create this universe first and then He create love so that we, human can love each other, love the nature, love their belongings and thus creating a harmonious world.. is it?
or, if your answer is LOVE, then why?
why ooo why...
hurm... for me... love comes first. because, if it is not because of love, His love towards us, the universe, the beautiful amazing awesome marvellous universe will never be created this perfect. He make sure everything is here, complete... so that when we are born to this world... we will not feel empty, because we have Allah. but do all of us feel like that?
this is what i discovered last night. personally, i think i already feel His awesome love, with this blessed life, lovable family, hebat sahabat2. but the question is... do i love Allah as much as Allah loves me?
that what made me really really ashamed of myself. i want to meet Him. really! who doesn't? but what do i do in order to let my heart fully fill with His love? hence, i tried. tried hard. really really hard to let myself learn to love Allah and Rasulullah. but for a priceless love, the most hebat love of all it will cost me a bomb! as if like... it is not easy to get something that is super hebat like mencintai Allah seperti kita dicintai Allah.
here is a short lyric by Raihan: Mencari Cinta
di dalam mencari cinta yang sejati
banyaknya ranjau kan ditempuhi
di dalam mendapat cinta yang hakiki
banyaknya onak yang diredahi
ok it is long, i know... if you want to stop reading, then it is fine. i just want to share that, we need to reflect back, do we live Allah as much as Allah loves us? [as if like tak de cinta dunia, cinta manusia, cinta harta benda, cinta kejayaan yang melebihi cinta kepada Allah]
for those who still have the guts to continue reading, then allow me to share a story. an analogy.
there was a man. a very brave man who was obsessed with DOTA. he wanted to find a hidden treasure in a pyramid. it was said that the treasure was very valuable and whoever gets it, he will never get poor and can even support his family until the 7th generation. so, this man had a map and from the map he knew that there will be lots of booby-traps and difficulties lies ahead. nevertheless, for the sake of the hidden treasure, he will do anything, anything for it, no matter what!
so, he went inside the pyramid. with his crews to help him. but then, along the way, there a lot of traps that caused delay of their journey. there were mummies, huge rock rolling over them, poisonous snakes and scorpions, deep holes and etc. before they even get to the treasure, they had to sacrify a lot. they had to leave behind their bag packs which contains foods and drinks. they only manage to save a few which only last for a while and not enough for everyone. there were also people who were left behind and exit the pyramid because they said they cannot bare with the danger. but, that man said, "i don't care! we will get our hands on that treasure!" so, everyone was motivated and continue their journey.
and they had reached the front gate of the place that kept the treasure. they saw the treasure already! it is just on the other side of the gate. but, since the treasure was so valuable, there was a booby-trap. perhaps it was the last one.
1. to get to the treasure, only one person can cross the bridge.
so, they chose the man.
2. he need to make a choice, either the treasure or the stuff that he loves the most, online gaming - DOTA. that game was placed beside the treasure. it also comes with a tutor that can teach that man how to be a PRO in DOTA, not a NOOB. [noob is a term in dota that refers to looser]
so, what was his choice?
if he choose the DOTA, he might not be able to find the treasure again. if he wanted to, he had to encounter the same difficulties as before, as if like repeating the deadly journey.
if he choose the treasure, he might not get the chance to be a PRO which it was his dream since he knew ABC. it was his life time chance! it is DOTA man!!
he was torn between two most valuable stuff in the world [for him la]. he cannot think straight. he was tensed! but beware, he was walking on a very small bridge and had to balance himself. if he lose focus, he'll fall off the brigde and no one will know what happen to him. if he choose the treasure, he'll lose a part of him. and the other way around.
so, he stop. and think.
he chose...
jeng jeng jeng...
the ...
treasure.
he chose the treasure instead of the dota online-gaming. why?
oh my, this post is too long. and i need to go now. seriously. i'll continue in next post, insha-allah tomorrow.
salam!!!
