What is written

Bismillah..

"...pena telah diangkat dan lembaran-lembaran telah mengering.” 

(HR. Tirmidzi dan lainnya)

"when time halts

suspended in mid-air

are the hopes"

"read"

He told me to read

because my path is written

and I left my life to Him

why?

because the pen had been lifted

and the ink, dried

there's a sudden calm

and a sudden anxiety

in realizing

that this life pledged to You, O Allah

O bearer of syahadah,

this is not to burden you

but for you to receive more of Allah's rahmah

He knows what you are capable of
including your shortcomings

and He knows what you aim for

He just wants you to be true to your words

..to accompany the men and women in upholding of this deen
in yourself and others

the only deen that has His redha

if it's His redha you are after

then the way is 'here'

read

so you'd be a learned one

so that knowledge benefits you and others

this life is not for the salary

$2000+ salary (standard degree wage) is meager

this life is not for the domestic happiness

big house, full of laughter is not an aim in itself

be a traveller

because what exist in this world shall disappear with dust

except those spent in the cause of Allah

then that 'disappearing' money, time, effort

blood, sweat, tears spent
where is the evidence?

the evidence shall be forwarded 'there' (life in the Hereafter)

leave the ignorant and the fool

until they had something better to say

than ridiculous ramblings of what your 'fate' could've been

“Jagalah Allah, niscaya engkau dapati Dia di hadapanmu. Jika engkau meminta, mintalah kepada Allah. Jika engkau meminta pertolongan, mintalah pertolongan kepada Allah. Dan ketahuilah, sesungguhnya seandainya umat ini bersatu untuk memberikan suatu kemanfaatan kepadamu, maka mereka tidak akan dapat memberinya, kecuali dengan sesuatu yang telah Allah tetapkan atasmu. Dan seandainya mereka bersatu untuk mendatangkan suatu kemudharatan kepadamu, maka mereka tidak dapat mendatangkannya, kecuali dengan sesuatu yang telah Allah tetapkan atasmu. Pena telah diangkat dan lembaran-lembaran telah mengering.” 

(HR. Tirmidzi dan lainnya)

“Tiada suatu bencana pun yang menimpa di Bumi dan (tidak pula) pada dirimu  sendiri melainkan telah tertulis dalam kitab (Lauhul Mahfuzh) sebelum Kami menciptakannya.”

- Surah Al-Hadid: 22
