Ramli like it or not will be 55 this 1stNov,2011.What a wonderful life’s journey it has been and hoping and DOA for many more years of good health,happiness,love,great learning&knowledge plus all the positive things or blessings that life offers…..
Are YOU happy now?Are your dreams realized and you are loved by your wife/wives and kids…?
In Islam,living is basically looked upon as a “the wind that blows away” and one must aspire to “passed” the test by Allah SWT the moment we are buried or what we called Alam Barzakh…if one were to pass this tests at Alam Kubur or Barzakh then the rest of the process is smooth and full of hope and bliss.
So,In Islam life is all about DOING GOOD THINGS OR ACTIONS.
What then are the good things or actions?Its all about IMAN AND TAQWA!Are we attaining great Iman and our life is on the path of Taqwa?
When we are born we are so “clean,honest and blessed” but as we grow up to become older we learn from our parents,friends,environment all the good and bad things.In Islam the Holy Prophet Muhammad pbuh in his Hadiths once stated that teach your kid to pray( solat) when he/she is 7 years of age and hit him/her with the canned (rotan) when they are 10 years old if they refuse to solat!
Thats serious is solat in Islam and our fate in the Hereafter will be firstly based on our Good Solat Performance.Muslims must pray 5 times a day without failed and if you are sick or bedridden,Islam also teach you how to solat in ways of the weak or sick people.Maybe by doing your solat always you are loving,thinking and close to Allah SWT (Your Benefactor and Reason for Living)
Muslims have been surveyed and found that only 20% pray 5 times a day but yesterday YB Mat Sabu of PAS in his Friday Sermon (Khutbah) at my nearby Masjid Nadhah Islamiah stated that only 5 % Muslims pray daily!Crazy and Disgusting for Muslims who do not want to pray!
So,just imagine in our 55 years of living and beginning the age of 7 have we prayed everyday?These are questions or events in our lifetime that need to be reviewed,analysed and improved upon so that on that day of Judgement we can safely,clearly and proudly tell Allah SWT we did all that HE instructed us to do and we follow the path of IMAN AND TAQWA.
For Non Muslims maybe their passion for solat or their kind of prayers are different from Muslims and to them,they too will have to be accountable for their actions,belief and deeds!Ramli just hoped he can help his Non Muslims Friends to accept Islam as their Religion of Faith and Hope for Jannah (Heaven).
Some of Ramli close friends have embraced Islam and to them they are blessed to receive HIDAYAH FROM ALLAH SWT.Only that all these Mualafs need good constant guidance,support and brotherhood as Muslims Brothers and Sisters.
So,being 55 years of age is just a figure that is not critical as to say we are near to death BUT it is a good starting point to review our life’s journey of excellence where we try to refrain from all great sins and temptations which will lead us to more dosa than pahala and thats not good for our record of iman and taqwa!We need now to be able to be more stable,great patience,less vulnerable to the devils bait,zero tolerance for dosa besar and also seek for taubat for all the mischeifs or dosa we have done all these 55 years of living…(some people say humans are not perfect but we must try to become perfect because the price of akhirat is so bad,unimaginable sufferings or torture if we decided to mislead or become defiant to the path of iman and taqwa.
Living in the Blissful Ways of Islam is the Best Way and that is AD-DEEN.Many Muslims ignore the Quran and Sunnah and these are BOOKS that must be read many many times in our life as all the teachings and good ways towards Iman and Taqwa are taught in these BOOKS.Seeking Knowledge is what Islam encourages and people who seek knowledge in ALLAH SWT’s sake will be justly and highly rewarded and not be too engrossed in seeking great wealth and popularity as seeking great wealth can mislead or put you on the wrong path of greediness,bad heart and making sins all the way through.
Islam is still not well appreciated around the world and worst still even by the Muslims themselves and if Muslims choose not to follow the straight path of Islam then to these munafiks they are bound for condemnation and punishments by Allah SWT,Inshallah!
Let our remaining life span like Ramli after attaining 55 years of living and breathing nicely now give great tribute,syukur,blessings and prayers to Allah SWT for more years of becoming a Good to Great Muslim and an assurance or guarantee for Jannah at the highest level and safe from Neraka (Hellfire)!Thats what we are actually working for all these years of living on earth,really!
May Allah SWT Grant all of us His Great Blessings and Mercy!
