Today I read blog posted from another blogger who had just passed
away. I had never known him throughout his life. But his death entered the news
and somehow I have found an article that published about his blog. It was
actually a very simple blog. But somehow, reading through his blog gave a
profound impact towards me.
Death is something that is unavoidable.
"Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of the world is only the enjoyment of deception" [ Quran 3:185]
" Wheresoever you may be,death will overtake you even if you are in fortress build up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah.; but if evil, they say, “This is from thee” (O Prophet). Say: “All things are from Allah.” But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?" [Quran 4:78]
Today other people, strangers, might be reading his blog due
to his death but tomorrow it might be my own blog that people will be reading.
It makes me think to the very first reason why I was totally dedicated a few months
ago to establish this blog. I make a vow to myself many years ago that I will
try to change the world. Many will probably agree with me that the world is a
harsh place to live in, but to me living in this world is such a blessing granted
to me by my Lord. I live in this world to contribute for the ummah. I saw many
people who have many problems and they have no one to turn to. Years before, I
had been facing similar experiences, abundance of problems and no one to turn
to. Back then, I was wishing that someone will appear into my life and guide
me. But no one ever did, and how much of a lonesome experience it was.
So I know. I know how
it feels like to face it all alone. That was long before I learn the love
towards my creator. Now if I find myself facing complicated problems I keep
reminding myself:
“You are not alone. Allah is always by your side”
I wish and I will keep on praying that you will have this
same mindset instill inside your mind. Please do not hate the world nor fear it
because the world is a wonderful gift from Allah to us. Cherishes it. Be happy.
Live your life happily and remember that at the end of this long, tiring
journey, Allah will be waiting for you.
If it is finally the time for me to go to meet my creator,
then from deep down inside my heart I sincerely apologized. I guess it is still
not too late for me to apologize. I am sorry because I make a vow to change the
world and to contribute to the ummah and yet I was never able to fulfill it. I
am sorry that I could never be by your side helping you throughout your
problems. I am sorry for all the wrongdoings that I have committed towards you
whether it is intentionally or not. I am sorry if my words and actions have
hurt you. I am sorry that I have become a failure to the ummah. I am truly
sorry. You will always be in my prayers. My last wish is that whoever you are,
on whichever part of the world you are, you will always remember, that Allah
will always protect you and be by your side. You are never alone.
In the name of Allah
the most Gracious, the Most Merciful
“By Al-Asr (the time).
Verily, man is in loss. Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds,
and recommend one another to the truth which Allah has ordained, and abstain
from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allah has forbidden and recommend
one another to patience” (Surah Al-‘Asr, The Holy Quran)
