"And He gives you all that you ask Him : and if you count Allah’s favors, you will not able to number them...” The Holy Quran [ 14:3 ]
Assalamu'alaikum (Peace be upon you) everyone.
My family and I wish you all for a happy and prosperous life on this Ramadhan and always.
How about we spend for the whole month to chase all the chances to do all the good deeds. Helping the less fortunate one, do a lot of charity works, be a good child to our parents, be a good brother and sister, well, I don't have to list all the good deeds here as Allah S.W.T gave us lots of choices, chances and ability to do that. But remember, let all the good things we do kept only with us silently. HE is THE ALL KNOWING.
I started this post with a very meaningful phrase from The Holy Quran. When I learn about the law of attraction, the law of connection, the psychology of trader, art of war, how to be a success people or even how to get rich (I just quoted some of the idea or book that I like), I found that ALL this idea is in The Holy Quran, explained in the way Allah S.W.T wants HIS servant to learn. Bless for Muhammad Rasulullah, PBUH, HIS last messenger.
It kept coming to my head, for Allah S.W.T everything has the same value to HIM except the people who have the soul of taqwa. So, there is no different in value to Allah S.W.T, either it's Ferrari, Big Mansion, USD $90 billion worth of bonds, or the old broken lamp in the dumpster. Allah S.W.T is The Creator for everything. We could ask for everything in this world, HE gives us the way to get all that with certain ways, but in the end after we get it, we dare thank to other than HIM....?! All HE asked us, the servant, are only to worship HIM and nothing else, do what HE asked us to do, and leave everything HE asked us not to. If, every breath we took in life here on earth (one of HIS planet), and HE charged $1 Euro, could we pay that??? That's only two pleasures, the ability to breath and oxygen. I'm not talking about other pleasures, provided by Allah S.W.T The Merciful, like family, technology, knowledge, eyes, hands, sense, feeling, water, sun, air, food and all. What is right or wrong to us? Just because, other said it is right, so it's right? or because the majority believe it is wrong, so it's wrong? or what Allah S.W.T told us what is right and what is wrong? One of Allah's pleasure is our brain, now, feel free to use that.
I've came to various blogs, condemning that Islam taught people to be terrorist. Oh my... This kind of people by far still unable to use the thing inside their head (It's call brain, got it?). Let's us use some logic;Muslim population. There is a problem with the population part because different sources show different numbers but at times vary greatly for instance
Wikipedia shows 1.57 billion Muslim population as an estimate for 2009 while
http://www.islamicpopulation.com/ show a staggering number of 1.82 billion Muslim population in the world. The world population now is estimated 6.8 billion people. I rounded for easy calculation, 1 Muslim in every 6 people (1 : 6) and counting. Well, if Islam taught Muslim to terrorize the world, is this the same world we know it today? Or would I write this post and you read this inside some bunkers or something? Allah S.W.T The Loving, gives us 'Time' to be one of HIS pleasures. Every tick is an opportunity for us to learn. One of human best behavior is curiosity, so keep learning, use all the senses you got. The first word in Quran revelation is 'READ'.
I'm so grateful for a wonderful journey in life to Allah S.W.T The Generous. I ask only from YOU. Keep me as YOUR good servant.
Subhanallah. Alhamdulillah. La ila haillallah. Allahhuakbar.
