Salam,
Something struck me this afternoon. What would be my goal or even goals in life?
Some have it clear, to be a millionaire at 30.
I am sure most of these people managed to get to their dream way earlier.
Some, to travel around the world. I've met some of them. And they have done it.
Others, to go deep into their professions, and now they ARE considered professionals. Plenty of them! Right?
.......
What about me?
What do I want?
.......
I've put some thought on it. How about, someone who strives to know his Creator...? Nah, too broad.
Strives to be someone who lives, just for the sake of Allah...? Hmm, that's even broader.
But who cares...?
No, really, who cares?
To me, this should be everyone's ultimate goal.
How many of us here, berani mengatakan saya hidup pada hari ini semata-mata kerana Allah?
Inna solati, wa nusuki, wa mahyaya wa mamati lillah rabbil 'alamin. We read it, minimum 5 times a day. yes?
If this is not our purpose of life, then what is?
Being a millionaire is an excellent goal. Become a rich Muslim! and elevate the life of our community and society.
Becoming a professional is even better. We definitely need Muslim professionals.
But why? What is the purpose of having such goals? if it is OTHER THAN to pleased our Creator and Sustainer, then we are a complete failure. Yes, a failure.
Again I ask this question. How many of us here, berani mengatakan saya hidup pada hari ini semata-mata kerana Allah? I live for Allah? ..... Do you? ..... I'm sure deep inside we know that this is right, this should be it. But can you really claim that statement for yourself?!
When you are reading this, is it because of Him? when you click your mouse entering my blog, really, did you EVEN think of Him? when I am typing and sharing these thoughts, is it for His sake?? Can I really be sure to say it is?
When you preach and stand strong by what you believed in, is it to pleased Him?
When you argue to "seek the truth", are you REALLY doing it for His sake?
Can you? or can you not? For His sake? REALLY? Answer yourself.
I FAILED TO SEE THAT. YES THESE EYES WON'T BE ABLE TO KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS, BUT LOOKING AT YOUR ACTIONS, I FAILED TO SEE THAT.
EVEN WORST AND MORE WORRYING, I MYSELF FAILED TO DO SO EVERY EACH MINUTE OF MY OWN LIFE.
How can I even dare say I live for His sake? Only His. I am His?? No, I have failed.
I really believe that this is the core source of today's problem. We have failed.
I know somehow I really need to fine tune this goal. And yes, my goal is to know my Creator. My goal is to live for Him. To be only His. To make others feel, they are His.
With that said, I guess I have a lot of work to do. How do I achieve this goal? Where do I even start? At this current moment, I HAVE NO IDEA. But I am sure, there is no other way to know Him other than the path of seeking knowledge. 'ilman naafian, insyaAllah.
And to make it stick thru this hard skull, that is another issue. Let's face it. This is the voice from this heart, this mind. But it's a huu haa huu haa as I used to say. In just a few minutes from now, I'd be doing the same routine of this life, over and over again. Failing to realize, I am His and His only. Not just me, but everyone else too around me.
Oh Allah, I do not know what to do. Give me the strength. Give us the strength. Guide us ya Allah, guide us. You are our ONLY guidance. Make us feel that we are Yours, and Yours only...
Amin.
Ma'rifatullah. Maybe that's it. Wallahu'alam.
Doakan saya, doakan semua...
