A dialogue

My colleagues contains of variety of races, indians, chinese, filipinos, ausies etc. But my batch just contains the first two. So, sometimes it happened that we talk about religion, love stories n etc. Once, my colleagues (chinese) asked one of my colleagues about this ;

"why my fellow malay friends, they didnt perform their prayer ah?they said the ablution (wudu') is very leceh..that's y they dont perform theirs"

"Haa...no la..it's just a reason. If they didnt perform their prayers is just because they dont carry out their obligation..no reason..they are malas"

"OOhh..is hasnul perform his?(my God y my name?).I never see him performing it"

"Haaa..Hasnul?he performs it la..if u notice he will leave the class for 10-15 minutes.that is when he performed it"

"OOoo..ya ka..i thought he just went out to make his drink"

Hmm..come on..it's not about me carrying out my obligation guys..haha!!It's about performing our solah..I have a friend..or friends that didn't perform their solah. They know so many things about sunnah..n a decent knowledge about islam..but yet, they abandoned the most important one..solah.

"Alaaa..org yg smyg sll cam amat tu..kuar gak ngan awek dia..pegang sana sini. Baik tak smyg"

"ko tgk edisi sekodeng tu..sume yg pakai tudung..smyg..tp buat gak maksiat..baik takyah semayang"

That's true..n cant be denied..but the problem is..y they have to see those example..y dont they open their eyes and see the good example?For me..i have my own wisdom. I'm not a good person. baik..far from that..i did many things wrong..full of sins..everyday..but yet i perform my solah (so far..alhamdulillah). n when my friend with the quote above asked me bout it..I just said..it's like the story of prophet Musa when he walked along the beach.

Nabi Musa walked along the beach one day and he saw a fish laying on the beach..on the sand..it's body covered with all the sands everywhere..then it struggled to move towards the ocean. the wave washed all the sands and it became clean again. But then again it washed by the wave towards the beach and covered with sands all over it..and again it moved towards the ocean so the wave again washed it clean. the fish kept doing it again and again.

That reflects us..human..a simply normal human..we did a lot of thing we regretted..a lot of sins then we find a way to clean ourselves..then we forget to keep being a decent person, we make all the mistakes again..even bigger but yet then..we try to clean ourselves. For me, i'm just like the fish..no matter how many things..sinful things i did..i tried to obey His words..coz i know one day maybe he will bestow me his Rahmat n hidayah so i can forever obey his words..Solah is our soul food. It's just like u eat everyday. No one say u are a good person if u eat everyday..meaning..if u perform ur solah..u r not a good person yet..coz u just doing a normal thing..but people will say u r a good person if u eat ur lunch etc, n u never waste any. same applies here. After performing ur solah if u obey His words, u do something else such as sedekah..reading Qur'an that maybe u r a good person.

to sum up..just dont abandon ur solah no matter how big ur sins are..how awful things u have done..coz u will always be on the right path n someday He will bestow his Rahmah upon U..
