The Ocean Of Dunya



This worldly life, the dunya, is just like the ocean. And our hearts are the ships. We can use the ocean for our needs and as a means to get to our final destination.

But the ocean is only that : a means. 

It is a means for seeking food of the sea. It is a means of travel. It is a means of seeking a higher purpose. But it is something which we only pass through, yet never think to remain in.

Imagine what would happen if the ocean became our end - rather than just a means.


Eventually we would drown.

As long as the ocean's water remain outside the ship, the ship will continue to float and be in control. But what happens as soon as the water creeps into the ship ? 

What happens when the dunya is not just water outside of our hearts, when the dunya is no longer just a means ? What happens when the dunya enters our heart ?

That is when the boat sinks.

That is when the heart is taken hostage and become a slave. And that is when the dunya - which was once our control - begins to control us.

To stay float, we must view this world in exactly the same way, for Allah swt has told us that, 
" Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth are sign for those who Reflect," ( Quran 3 :190 ). 


- Beautiful reading from " Reclaim your heart" , Yasmin Mogahed -


Lets reflect.

Pray, and act smarter for a better 2015.
Seek for akhirah.
You'll get dunya and akhirah.

May Allah continuously guide me & all of us ..insyaAllah.

Sembuhkanlah..

Demi dia yang selalu mengutamakan kegembiraan orang lain,
demi dia yang selalu mahu memberi walau dia sendiri pun tak cukup,
demi dia yang selalu mahu memudahkan walau dia sanggup bersusah,
demi dia yang selalu jujur dalam katanya,
demi dia yang terlalu ikhlas dalam persahabatan,

demi dia yang tak jemu mencari ilmu
yang cintanya pada sang buku
yang sering ke seminar kerana dahagakan perkongsian

demi dia yang cintakan alam dan keajaiban ciptaan Allah
demi dia yang suka mengembara
Ya Allah...

Sembuhkanlah penglihatan abah.
Tak terdaya hatiku bila dia tak mampu melihat jelas isteri & anaknya
Tak tertahan hatiku bila
dari membaca dengan Zoom In beratus peratus di komputer
membaca Sms di handphone dengan kanta
Tak sanggup melihat
dia perlahan-lahan semakin sukar membaca Al Quran..

Hatiku rapuh.
Kami gundah Ya Allah. Gundah sungguh.

Demi kebaikan hatinya
Ampunilah abah , sembuhkanlah penglihatannya.


Amin.
