Roaming around Key-El

A car just park on the side of the road, near a girl wearing sexy outfit. The driver lowering the car window..and the conversation starts..

A: how much?
B: just eighty.
A: for a night?
B: yes.
A: wow, cheaper cannot ah?
B: thats cheap already meh.
A: okay,im parking okay?
B: okay (with a smile)

but the car wasn't even want to stop, just continuing the road of endless journey. Visiting other places that can make the same situation like before. On the road, the scenery are scary, dark, with some timid girl on the side of the road wearing almost-naked outfit. And worst, there are also some transvestite looking for client on the side of the road too (almost puke seeing how they dress).

Hurmm..pity..how the value of people become soo cheap these days, plus, killing is just too normal. How money can buy people's loyalty easily...such a cruel world we live in.

How the world have grown soo old...while the inhabitant on it still on n ongoing made a huge destruction to it selfishly...directly and indirectly..

Mosque people?

For the last one month, I've started my work in a retail pharmacy. Like usual retail shop, the time to return home on a late night is like bread and butter.

As for tonight, I'm amazed by one of my neighbor who, sorry to say, we weren't so much known each other even his name. Haha. But what happened? As I'm entering the mosque door for prayer, he poke me and ask " wow, how have you been? Its been a long time not seeing you around." I just smile and say " yeah, I'm working right now, so, its hard to come by, haha"

Right after the prayer, I've been thinking about that event. Its simple, but take a deep feeling into my heart. Its about brother in aqidah (faith) are far stronger than brotherhood in bloodlines. How people can get to know each other or cared for one another and even have conversation like have known for a long time without any bloodlines relationship or any interest.

"المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضًا"

"Mukmins are like a building, each one of them are strengthen amongst others.

عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:  مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ 
 وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى

from An-Nu’man ibn Basheer reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The example of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”
(Sahih Bukhari  and Muslim)

Well, that is our strength, but people nowadays cant see that. For them, a relationship is always based on something. Business, money, even things that they might have from someone. Its a sad thing but thats reality.

And above all, its hard but not impossible, to achieve that higher rank of friendship, cause our ancestors have done it, like in the story about ansar and muhajirin,l. How close they've become although they've just met each other. The kind of relationship that bring them to be the best of all people at that time.

Harvest your farm (world) for your ending (akhirah)

In this world, there are many things to be catch-up, jobs, money, women, kids, all of it. But are we know that all of them are a test for us. A test of desires.

End of every month, people are going to ATM or  banks to check upon their salary, or what left of its. While its the time to cheers every free moment with the family..because 'Mr. Money' is still around.

Some people do good with their money by giving charity or even to help others in need or to make others happy. But some people takes granted of what they have.

Some people just couldn't get enough with what they have, they want more and more while regretting and questioned of what they have. Isn't it whats more important is that you feel satisfied with what you have and grateful for it from Allah, who always give you what you need better than what you want?

Allah have said in quran:

وإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لأَزِيدَنَّكُم
وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيد

'And remember when your Lord proclaimed: "if you are grateful, I will surely increase you (in favour), but if you thankless, indeed, my punishment is severe. "  (14:7)

But some people, they just cant, they doesnt care about anything besides money n their own desires.

If its hard for you to be grateful, try to find others that are unlucky like you, others that doesnt have anything unlike us. With that, you will br more grateful of what you have.

Well, there are other peoples, starving in other side of the world, starving to death, do we care? Do we think of them when we have everything and they have nothing. Especially our brothers and sisters in the middle of war, in Palestine, in Iraq, in Syria. Save some pity and give them what you have.

The truth about this world is, the more you take, the less you have. This world are only a mere test for us. Test for us to be grateful of what we have. Its not cruel to strive for the best to have dunya, but its cruel to strive only for it and lost for His mercy. And this world(dunya) are like a farm, we worked hard for it to have the fruit in the end(akhirah), not only for the joy of successful in the middle of a growing tree.

" Oo Allah, help me to put this dunya in my hand, not in my heart "
