Dimanakah Engkau?

Dimanakah Engkau?

Mereka bertanya-tanya mencari-Mu: Dimanakah Engkau?

Sungguh alangkah bodohnya pertanyan mereka itu. Apakah mereka buta lagi tidak melihat?

Kapan Engkau bersembunyi hingga kami harus mencari dimana Engkau berada?

Bukankah Engkau berada dalam penglihatan dan pendengaran kami?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada udara yang kami hirup?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada senyuman anak kecil dan kicauan burung-burung?

Bukankah Engkau berada dalam lirihnya pohon dan cahaya rembulan?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada bumi dan langit?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada segala sesuatu?

Bukankah semua yang ada di alam semesta ini tanda-tanda yang menunjukkan tentang keberadaan-Mu?

Bukankah semua itu adalah bukti-bukti keindahan dan kesempurnaan penciptaan-Mu, wahai Sang Maha Pencipta Yang Agung?

Build Your Own Castle in Paradise

       

I always obey my passions and desires

Till I enslave myself

If I were satisfied with everything I have

I would surely be the one who’s free

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wa barakatuh.

      My dear sisters in Islam, how have you been? I hope you are doing great and in the good state of imaan. It has been a long time since I wrote the last article on my blog. Hope you forgive me because I was busy with my studies and exams. :)

      My lovely sisters, have you ever heard the story of Asiyah r.a (May Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Pharaoh (Fir’aun)? She is one of the best righteous women in the world. Her obedience and persistence are incredible. Indeed, Allah has praised her in the Holy Qur’an:

“And Allah has set forth an example for those who believe, the wife of Fir’aun (Pharaoh), when she said: ‘My Lord! Build for me a home with you in Paradise, and save me from Fir’aun (Pharaoh) and his work, and save me from the people who are Zalimun (wrong-doers and disbeliever in Allah).” At-Tahrim : 11.
