Time to reflect


A man came to Ibrahim bin Adham and asked him :

Allah says "And your Lord has said: Call upon me and I will respond to you (Al-Mu'minun verse 60)#

So what is the matter with us that we supplicate yet we are not answered?

So he said:
  • Because you know Allah and are wll acquainted with Him yet you do not obey Him.
  • And you acknowledge the Mesengger SAW you do not followhis Sunnah
  • And you know Quran but you do not act upon it
  • And you eat the food from blessings of Allah but you do give thanks for them.
  • And you acknowledge Paradise but you do not request (in your action)
  • And you acknowledge Hellfire but you do not flee from it.
  • And you know Syaitan yet you do not fight against Him but rather you comply with him
  • And you know (of the reality of) death but you do not prepare for it.
  • And you bury the dead but you do not stop to ponder and reflect.
  • And you leave your own faults and shortcomings and busy yourselves instead with those of others.
(Muwaqif Mushriqah Fi Hayatis-Salaf)

We should reflect ourselves now...
are we among the people who commit the things that have been said above...
Astagfirullah..Astagfirullah..Astagfirullah!

wa Alhamdulillah..alhamdulillah..alhamdulillah as Allah still give us a chance to change.

Itulah, otak kita memang dah tahu semua perkara ni, tapi hati kita tetap jugak nak buat menda yang tak patut dan tak buat menda yg perlu.
