it's been a long time since my last post..anyway, i wanna share what i had during my 2weeks vacation (the most significant one! i just travel to some other parts of the UK vising my dearly friends =)). i just started my lecture yesterday =)
i attended the 'Kem Ibadah 2' (KI 2)which was held in Brunei Hall for 3 days. it was basically a religious camp in brunei hall. we were stuck at the surau, cut off from outside world for 3 days. you might think that you can't live without seeing the outside world in 3 days but the activities organised made us remind ourselves about the forgotten world: the akhirah. the world where we will live after death, and it is one the 6 pillars of iman a muslim need to believe. reminding ourselves about akhirah also includes reflecting the Quranic verses, rather than just reading it, we go deeper, trying to understand what Allah is trying to say to us. we listened to what one of the brothers talk about hakikat manusia: who we are, who are we trying to please, are we being grateful of what He has given and do we always realise that everything comes from Him but we usually disobey Him by doing sins, bad things and we blame Him for not giving us a lot of opportunities. Are you sure? let's think..
anyway, we also performed solat jamak qasar for 'asr and dzuhr; and magrib and isya together. we also perforemed solat sunat tahajjud and taubat before fajr begins. so to summarise about the KI, it was an amazing experience, spending time just for our dearly god, Allah, to forget about our busy-ness finishing up assignments, gathering with friends etc etc..
"dunia adalah syurga bagi orang munafik tetapi penjara bagi orang muslim". so if you believe in hereafter, be prepare from now, time won't wait for you and don't wait for old days to come to do good deeds coz we won't know if we can reach that old days..
about the title..it's rabi'ul awal..it's the month which our beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W was born..let remind ourselves of his sacrifices in delivering Islam, he went through painful time but because of his love to his ummah, he didn't give up. up until now, our religion is still on-going, without him, do you think Islam will come this far? he was so worried of his ummah in this era, but do we care? do we only celebrate this month for him and forget afterwards? why..? if 2 people who are in love with each other, they would sacrifice everything for him/her.. halal/haram unconsidered..for dunia, people sacrifice a lot, but our religion, people still hide and afraid to be proud of it..why? why are we so ashamed of our religion when we actually believe of its existence..why..? why is it so controversial when religion is in a discussion? when we know we lack the knowledge, why won't we learn more about it? anyway, i was a bit 'off' the point for this paragraph =D
Suatu hari, rasulullah SAW berdiri dihadapan para sahabatnya. Baginda bersabda: " Aku rindukan kekasih-kekasihku". Para sahabat bertanya "Wahai rasulullah, bukankah kami kekasihmu?". Rasulullah bersabda lagi " Bukan. Kamu sahabatku. Kekasihku adalah golongan yang datang selepasku, mereka beriman denganku. Padahal mereka belum pernah melihatku.."
Rasulullah describe us as his 'kekasih', he never meet us, and his sahabat who endure together with him in spreading Islam were not considered as 'kekasih', but us?? how are we willing to sacrifice for him, to feel the love..do we ever appreciate? do we ever love him as much as he love us..?brothers and sisters, let's do something to show our love for him, not just for this upcoming Maulidurrasul, but do his sunnah as much as we could everyday hoping for Allah's blessing and to meet our Prophet in the hereafter in the heavens and waiting for Allah to say 'Salam' to those He love for 'graduating' the tests in dunia..amiin
