Waiting

Bismillah..

Was stuck behind a traffic today. Long lines following this large crane. The trip towards and back, I had this big machine infront of me. Normally, I love big vehicles but at 40km/hr?? Serious?? I waited for almost an hour...


Then it got me reflecting how many times are we in a line. At Kuala Lurah and Temburong (KK), Sungai Tujuh (Miri), morning,noon and afternoon traffic..if you calculate those times..they took up 1/5th of our day probably. If you include the times when we're idle, lazying around for our lifespan..how much is that?  


What of the time?
What in the world are we waiting for??
What is everyone waiting for??


Continuation on the reflect of surah Fatir..


"Every soul will taste death, 
and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. 
So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, has attained [his desire]. 
And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion."


"Tiap-tiap yang bernyawa akan merasai mati, 
dan bahawasanya pada hari kiamat sahajalah akan disempurnakan balasan kamu. 
Ketika itu sesiapa yang dijauhkan dari neraka dan dimasukkan ke syurga maka sesungguhnya ia telah memperoleh kemenangan. 
Dan (ingatlah bahawa) kehidupan di dunia ini (meliputi segala kemewahannya dan pangkat kebesarannya) tidak lain hanyalah kesenangan bagi orang-orang yang terpedaya."


- Ali Imran,3:185

"And they say, "When will be this conquest, if you should be truthful?"

Say, [O Muhammad], "On the Day of Conquest, the belief of those who had disbelieved will not benefit them, nor will they be reprieved."

So turn away from them and wait.
Indeed, they are waiting.

"Dan mereka bertanya, 

"Kapankah kemenangan itu (datang) jika engkau orang yang benar?

Katakanlah, "Pada hari kemenangan itu, tidak berguna lagi bagi orang-orang kafir keimanan mereka dan mereka tidak diberi penangguhan.

Maka berpalinglah engkau dari mereka dan tunggulah, sesungguhnya mereka (juga) menunggu."

- Surah As Sajdah, 32: 28-30

The day we're waiting for, the day when we win...
is not when we had attained dunia
rather, when we had attained Jannah (syurga)


what are you waiting in a line for?
