a birthday love letter
Tuesday, July 10, 2012,
i was pretty much wide awake when the clock struck midnight. how can i sleep? i have so many things in my mind. besides exams, for the past few days, i have been wishing that today will not come. today... i turn 22. it's a BIG NUMBER, and big things comes with BIG RESPONSIBILITIES. and im not so sure if im ready for that. i wondered, for 22 years i have been walking on Earth, holding this duty as a KHALIFAH, how much have i done? what have i done to bring up islam? what have i done for my brothers and sisters who are in need? and how much time i have wasted NOT remembering Allah and putting Allah 2nd over other matters? MasyaAllah. and im scared, what if this new age, does not change me into a better person? and all the sins i have done before, will Allah forgives me? yes, i am that scared, i am that worried. with all those thoughts in my head, i decided to take my wudhu' and perform my 'sunat taubah' and 'hajat' prayers. and after that, i decided to read the love letter from Allah, hoping that He would answer to my prayer, sooth my worries and calms me. as usual, i will just randomly flip a page, and start reading the versus. and Subhanallah, it's true, Allah the almighty, He knows it all. u know what i saw on the page? it was this :
Dan Dialah yang menerima TAUBAT dari hamba-hambaNya dan memaafkn kesalahan2 dan mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan. Dan sekiranya Allah melapangkan rezeki kepada hamba-hambaNya niscaya mereka akan melampaui batas di dunia ini tetapi Dia turunkan dengan ukuran yg Dia kehendaki, sesungguhnya Dia Maha Teliti terhadap hamba-hambaNya, Maha Melihat. Dan Dialah yang menurunkn hujan setelah mereka BERPUTUS ASA dan menyebarkn rahmat-Nya. dan Dialah Maha PELINDUNG, Maha Terpuji. Dan di antara tanda2 kebesaranNya adalah pnciptaan langit dan bumi dan makhluk2 yg melata dan yang Dia sebarkan pada keduanya. Dan Dia Mahakuasa mengumpulkan semuanya apabila Dia kehendaki. Dan MUSIBAH apa pun yg menimpa kamu adalah kerana perbuatan kamu sendiri, dan ALLAH MEMAAFKAN BANYAK DARI KESALAHAN2 KAMU. dan kamu tidak dapat melepaskn diri dari siksaan Allah di bumi. dan kamu tidak memperoleh pelindungan atau penolong SELAIN ALLAH.
