*Wide smile*
I hope everyone is at their best state of eeman, taqwa and health.
Alhamdulillah Taala for giving us the chance to meet Ramadhan again. :)
A really great blessing indeed.
And Alhamdulillah Taala, I have been given a chance once more to update this blog.
Have you ever felt like you have lot of questions and these questions are out of the box questions and they just stay in your mind for hours, days , weeks and maybe years?
Maybe the reason why you have this questions because you havent found the answers yet. Maybe.
Have you ever felt that you need to do seomething , just something , to make sure your existence in this world is with a purpose?
Have you ever felt that you want to be better every time, every moment that passes by?
Sorry to put out in a sudden all these questions. But dont you think we have to question a lot of things.
Dont you think we have a mission , a big one, to accomplish before we die?
I mean, life is not something you get and if you die you can like watch it and mend anything that you think has to be mend?
We have to realise that we have a big responsibilty and a big task to accomplish in this world. We are all special. Seriously, we have to engrave the word SPECIAL in ourselves. I mean, sometimes we underestimate ourselves and limit our capabilities. We tend to get motivated seeing fellow Muslims being really inspirational, beneficial, doing all the amazing da'wah activities and sometimes secretly say How I wish I can be like them.. Well, in Syaa Allah, with all means, you can be like them. Why am I so confident saying this? it's because Allah Taala says in the Quran that He created a khalifah to be on Earth. That means, all of us are born with 100% potential to be a khalifah.
And the concept of being great and successful... well, it does not mean you have to be well known and popular to be great. How many people who have influenced so many and touched so many but are not known to many of us in this world. For example, Sayyidina Uwais Al-Qarni RH, he was not known to many in this world but well known to the beings in the Heavens. How cool is that? Ma Syaa Allah Taala.
For instance, we would like to be Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih, don't we? But how many people would like to be the brave soldiers fighting hand in hand with him? The scholars who have taught him so many until he became who he was then? The parents who nurtured and educated him until he became the best king with the best soldiers mentioned by Rasulullah SAW? They were indeed Al-Fatih's backbone. And do we really know them, or even their last names? No. But do we benefit from them? YES! May Allah Taala Bless them and everyone like them. Say, Aameen.
We would like to have a khalifah like Sayyidina Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq and Sayyidina 'Umar Al-Khattab RA, but how many of us are ready to become their loyal people? Because a successful caliphate is not just being carried out by the caliph but also by his people. In their time, children were educated with morals and etiquettes, buyers and sellers did halaal and honest transactions, neighbours were tolerant and respected one another , strangers were in fact trustworthy brothers and so much more. Do we know them by their names? No. But do they contribute to the Golden Age of Islam? Yes. They may be ordinary people in our eyes, but extarordinary people in Allah's eyes. Can we be like them? Yes, in Syaa Allah Taala. Do we have to be well known to be extraordinary? No. Not here in this world.
So, we see here, that being great is not about being great in the eyes of people only, earning their praises and thanks. Being great is in fact for the sake of Allah SWT and you are willing to contribute more and do your best even no one knows about you or what you do, you have no regrets. Remember, Allah Taala Knows every small and tiny deed that you do . And He has promised that for every deed even as light as an atom, the reward will be seen. Soon or later? Does it matter when you have gained His SWT pleasure ?
So, back to "mission in life" topic. Everyone has his own mission. Start with small things and never belittle these small things. Because, small things will one day become big in Syaa Allah Taala. And small things do count and small things may just be your ticket to heaven. Aameen Ya Rabbal 'aalameen. :)
P.s. Start with a smile to yourself first and say Alhamdulillah. Then, spread the love with a sincere heart. Make Al-Quran your best friend!
I would like to apologise for any shortcomings.
And Allah Taala Knows better and the best.
Wassalam. *SMILE*
