~where is the love?~- part 2

Seeing is believing. That is the common belief of people. People believe on what they see. However, there are matters that we must believe without seeing it. Faith. We believe on Allah SWT without seeing Him, but, by seeing the creatures in this world as the signs of His existence. The unseen creatures, heaven, hellfire, angels, evils, bacteria, virus, all the unseen creatures that can’t be seen through our naked eyes, but we believe on their existence. The emotion and feeling like anger, happy, sad, frustrated, hope, trust, hate, hungry, thirsty, fear, all that we can’t see, but, we can feel it.

L.O.V.E. we can feel it, but we can’t see it. LOVE is a gift from Allah SWT towards all human being. LOVE is pure and clean when people didn’t misunderstand about it. LOVE is right, happiness and joyful when people didn’t misuse it. Why Allah SWT gives the sense of LOVE to all human? With LOVE, people will respect each other, people will protect each other, people will appreciate each other, people will know each other, people will help each other, people will trust each other, people will tolerate each other and people will have mercies among each other. And what will happen to this world, if human has no sense of LOVE? Without LOVE, people will kill each other, people will fight each other, people will oppress each other, people will violate each other, people will manipulate each other, people will cheat each other and people will revenge among each other.

People do love their parents, children, spouses, relatives, friends and colleagues. This is the purposes of human creation, to know and to love each other, to have mahabbah wa rahmah. Allah creates human being into diversity of tribes and clans as a sign of His Greatness and His Almighty but, still the best among people in His Sight are those who have most pious, at-taqwa. People also do love their wealth and properties, career, position, beauties, and many more worldly affairs. This kind of love can harm the people if they can’t control the evil whispers and desires, they will turn off from love to The Creator, the Messenger and the Din. People’s lusts and desires are endless and limitless. That’s why those who follow the evil’s whispers and their lusts and desires will not find the happiness in life because they only become thirstier looking for their interests in this world. This is the LOVE on WORLDLY AFFAIRS or HUBB AD-DUNYA who is the head of all the evilness. But, when people always be gratitude to Allah SWT on His blessings, they will get the happiness and joyful in this world and in the hereafter.

Absolutely, the highest stage of LOVE is the LOVE to Allah SWT, Prophet Muhammad SAW and jihad fi sabilillah more than anything else in this world. This is the love that will bring people to the happiness in life and gain the pleasant of al-jannah in the hereafter.

ربّنا ظلمنا أنفسنا وإن لم تغفرلنا وترحمنا لنكوننا من الخسرين
ربّنا لا تزغ قلوبنا بعد إذ هديتنا وهب لنا من لدنك رحمة إنك أنت الوهّاب

where is the love... Part 1.

L.O.V.E.

Love is a subjective matter which very connected to the people's heart and feeling.... the phrase " i love you, uhibbuk, wo ai ni " are very common to be used by the people who are in love... love is something which we feel warm, easy, happy, joy, mercy, and pure inside the heart... we love the people who loved us, our parents, our siblings, our relatives, our friends, our spouses... we love them because they loved us, they care for us... but, how about our love to our Creator, the Most Gracious Most Merciful to all His creatures? do we love our Creator more than we love all of the people surround us?

love is something nature (fitrah) for human... to love and to be loved... Allah S.W.T. bestows upon all human the feeling of love and mercy. Animals also have love and mercy in their life, in which they love, protect and care their offsprings from dangers... in nature, a child loves the mother more than anyone else because the mother love the child at most... but, we forgot that, Allah S.W.T. loves us more than mothers love their children. Allah S.W.T. has bestowed upon all of us the countless rizq, ni'mah, rahmah and mercy... either we obey or disobey towards His commands, He keeps in showering His countless mercy upon us... He is al-Rahman, He is al-Rahim...

La ilaha illa Anta, Subhanaka inni kuntu minal al-zhalimin. There is no God Except You Allah, all praises be with You, indeed i am included in the group of injustice people... faghfirli, fainnahu la yaghfiru dhunaba, illa Anta. Thus, forgives my mistakes o Allah, indeed there is no one who can forgive the mistakes, except You Allah!!!


O Allah! Help us in seeking Your Love, help us in grabbing Your Forgiveness and help us in gaining Your Ridha... Ameen...

~Thank You~

Thank You, Shukran Jazilan, Terima Kasih, Arigatoo Gozaimasu... all these phrases give the same meaning. Why we should thank? When we should thank? Whom we should thank? How to be thankful?

Why we should thank? We should thank to show our appreciation and our gratitude on what we had received.

When we should thank? Not only when we received something good, we should say thank. We can say thank you anytime, no specific time to say thank you.

Whom we should thank? We say thank you to our parents, brothers, sisters, friends, colleagues, people around, but never forget to say thank you to the All Giver, the Sustainer, the Cherisher, Lord of the Universe Allah SWT.

How to be thankful? We say thank you to Allah SWT for all His ni'mah that he had bestowed upon us. Say Alhamdulillah, all praises be to Allah, to show our thankful to Him. Be a thankful slave ('ibad as-shakirin) will avoid us from arrogance. Be gratitude to Allah SWT all the time don't be kufr with the ni'mah. Allah SWT has bestowed upon us countless of ni'mah and rahmah. Thus, we can't rebel in the time we received the mihnah. We say thank you to all people for their hands and kindness. As Prophet SAW said: whosoever doesn't thank to people, has not thanked to Allah SWT. Just a simple word, thank you, terima kasih, shukran jazilan, arigatoo... shows them how precious they're in our life.

lain shakartum la'azidannakum, wa lain kafartum inna azabi la shadid... those who thank to Me, I will give them more, and don't be kufr/disobeyed, indeed My torments are heavy...

• O Allah, Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal, Astagfirullah 'ala kulli dhanb... All praises be to Allah SWT in all matters, I seek forgiveness from Allah for all my sins and mistakes...
• To my mom and dad, thank you for all u've done for me, too much kindness that you've given upon me, i want both of you to know that, you're the best mom and dad in the world, ighfir dhunubi ya Allah, wali walidayya warham huma kama rabbayani saghira... Forgive all my sins ya Allah, and both my parents, and have mercy upon them as they've given their mercy upon me since i was young...
• To all my siblings, brothers and sisters, you're the supporters in all what i've done, in all the decision i've taken, and in all matters and conditions. My highest appreciation to all of you dear brothers and sisters, thank you and may Allah SWT bestows upon us the happiness in this world and in the hereafter. InsyaAllah.

Dear all, Thank you so much. Kullukum jami'an, shukran jazilan. Terima kasih kepada semua. Minna san, arigatoo gozaimasu...

Words of the day: appreaciate all the people surround us and don't take someone for granted, because we may wake up some day and realize that we have lost the diamonds while we're busy collecting stones...

I'm the seeker of knowledge. That's the meaning of 'ana tilmizah'. I like the meaning of ana tilmizah, since i'm a student. Knowledge is something precious in our life. Without knowledge, we will be under developed, we will be at the back, we will be far from other people.

Seeking knowledge ia an obligation in Islam, in which Prophet SAW said: Seeking knowledge is a compulsory for all Muslim and Muslimah. Islam encourages the seeking of knowledge especially the knowledge of adDin, religious knowledge which based on revelation. But, that doesn't mean we should neglect the knowledge of modern science. Every knowledge which is good for our lives can be obtained through the process of learning. The process of learning will not only take part by attending classes or lectures, but part of our lives also are spent for learning process. Life Experience is part of knowledge for those who wants to think and take it as a knowledge. Since our childhood, we were grown up with full of learning process. How to handle and manage ourselves, how to read, how to write, and so on. While we are in adulthood, we learn how to cook, how to solve the problem, how to handle the job at work place, even until we become ages, we will learn something which we are not able to get it when we were young. So, there is no limit ages for seeking knowledge. As Prophet SAW said: Seek the knowledge since you're in the cradle until you'll be in the graveyard. That's why i believe, knowledge is a precious treasures which will be the jariah (our saver/treasure) in the hereafter in condition we conveyed or used the knowledge for the profits of other people. Otherwise, the treasure that we get doesn't give anything to us and other people like a tree without fruits which doesn't give profit to the owner.

Rabbi zidni 'ilman nafiaa... O my Lord, bestows upon me the profit/good knowledge

Words of the day: al-'ilm bi la 'amal, kasshajar bi la thamar; knowledge without practice, like trees without fruits.
