Touch and Go

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

“Allah says, ‘I am in accordance with the thoughts of My slave about Me; and I am with him, when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My heart. If he remembers Me in a group, I remember him in a better group (i.e. angels). If he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by a cubit. If he draws near Me by a cubit, I draw near him by the space covered by outstretched arms. If he walks towards Me, I go to him running.’” [Sahih Bukhari]

This hadith shows how willing and eager Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) is to befriend us and draw close to us. Anybody who sincerely wants Allah in his/her life will find Him. It cannot be that a person is sincere in their search but are not guided to Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). The case of Salman Farsi is a perfect example of how the search for truth brought him to Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). It is said about him that even if Islam were to be found on the moon, he would have made his way to it. Allah has His own ways of bringing people to that which they seek. Nobody is left helpless in their search. If they are confused, it is only because they wish to remain so.

In our everyday dhikr we should rejoice in the fact that when we remember Allah Mighty and Majestic, He takes special note of it. When we talk about Him in any gathering, He mentions us in a much superior gathering. Imagine! The most important entity that exists, discusses you with the angels...



What a coincidence malam tadi baru sempat raised this issue with anak sulung.

Tak nak cakap panjang-panjang so kita cuba guna cara yang paling senang nak faham. Tak nak membebel sebab dulu-dulu masa kita muda belia kita pun macam tu jugak. Alhamdulillah dah agak tua ni sikit-sikit kita perbaiki diri kita.

Senang je kita cakap................

"Abang (Afiq) kalau kita solat touch and go je or macam guna smart tag, macamana Allah nak dengar doa kita. Macamana Allah nak bagi apa yang kita doa tu."

Sigh...makin besar ni makin banyak distraction, makin banyak unsur-unsur luar yang kurang membina yang selalunya datang dari kawan-kawan.
