Glass

Bismillah..

"A child's love for her parents

Pure. Precious. Priceless"

"Sungguh, Allah swt itu Maha Halus"

How careful we are, either young or old
when we entered a glass shop
ridiculously expensive and fragile, 
yet so exquisitely beautiful
its intricate patterns
complements even the lightest of colour

anything is best done with the clearest of intention

life could be difficult, rocky, murky business
challenge even our best intention

how true can we be?
when money matters during debt and poverty
when pride matters during reunions and alumni parties

when Rasulullah saw were spreading da'wah
the musyrikin said these
that they would give him all: money, highest status, most beautiful of women
in exchange of the life he was leading
of extreme difficulty, mockery, backlashes, boycotts
and yet he rejected all that
just to spread the message of syahadah
just that 1 kalimah
one word, and yet shook their hearts to the core
of the extent these muslims would dig their soles into the earth
"win or die"

it may be nothing to the world
but this is more precious than all of those worldly things
this syahadah
any effort to spread it, to live with it
even though where I stood is a shifting desert (uncertain future)
but I accept it, O Allah swt
the purest of intention is in gaining Your redha

Amin Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin~
