26 years. Alhamdulillah. Allah has given me the chance to live for another year.. Perhaps, more like an opportunity for me to increase my ibadah and rewards for the Hereafter insyaAllah. THANK YOU THANK YOU ALLAH! For all my life You have NEVER ever failed to show me your MERCY. SUBHANALLAH!
Since its my birthday, I have the sudden urge to blog. About myself. My life. My journey. And my migration to a better me, with better purpose in life.
Why I said that? When I was young, it never really occurred to me why I was brought on this earth. I knew that Allah exists, I knew that my religion is Islam and I have to pray 5 times a day, daily. I knew that I have to do what my parents and society deemed or told me to. Go to school, get yourself educated, learn to make friends, hang out with them, enjoy the world, fun time with your family, get yourself a job, make money, be rich, get a big car, big house and the list goes on.. but as you see the list has nothing to do with Akhirah.. more focus on this Dunya, and yes at that time I was blind to see.. blind to see the real meaning and purpose of life.
Then, there was this turning point. I admit, it all happened after my dad passed away.. it didn't happened immediately, but I guess Allah (the ALL KNOWING and the ALL HEARING) is kind enough to show me His Hidayah. I never really knew how Hidayah felt like until it happened to me... I started to become scared.. scared of myself.. scared of how my fate is going to be like in the Hereafter. Am I going to be among the Believers, or the Losers? And when I read this one article about "Alam Bazarkh" I became really terrified and I do NOT want to be among the Losers.. and from then on I determined to change.. not drastically perhaps, but gradually.
Since then I realize that the REAL purpose of this life is to LIVE because of HIM. This earth/dunya is just a tool to get ourself to our REAL HOME.. which is Paradise/Jannah.. This dunya is where you are landed as a traveller.. to find yourself to the right direction, and to the right path. HIS path, the path of those who believe. And that actually make more sense.. life is not all bout getting educated, get yourself a job, make money and be rich, and you're going to be happy.. and what's next? what's next after you die? Is that it? Is that all and why God sent you down on this Earth? Just to strive for worldly matters? NO! He put you on earth to test you on which of you is among the Believers. He put you on earth to see who divinely want to strive for better Iman. He wants to be with those that Believe in Him. He wants the Jannah to be filled with those who are pious and reward those with good deeds ONLY. He is the ALL JUSTICE. And what makes you think you can escape all the evil deeds you did in this world?
So there you go.. My perception has changed. When you do things because of Allah, be it when you're studying, working, or living in marriage life, your purpose of life would be much clearer..Because you are doing it all to strive for Jannah.. To strive for your final HOME. And you will definitely find more inner peace and tranquility. Because you know, you are not living for the creations, but you are living for the Creator. For He is the One created You for purpose.. and He has the right to take us back, and He is taking those who only Believe in Him..
SubhanAllah.. Thank you Allah. Thank YOU thank YOU! I love you above ALL the things in this workd.. I love YOU and our messenger, Prophet Muhammad SAW..
"O Allah, I beg You, always guide me to your right path, don't leave me astray when you have given me your Hidayah"
