a heart that aches when another heart is strayed

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

"So am I your first Muslim friend?" I asked.

They nodded with fair excitement on their faces. They were sleepy because class started at 8 am that day. Then, I told them that we Muslims wake up at 5 or 6 for prayer every day. They were more than shocked. Haha. It shows that they are curious about us Muslims; what we do on daily basis, how we feel about drinking and party, why do we Muslimah wear scarf - how do we live life as differently than they do? Well, I'm curious too. I have asked my cool housemate, getting-closer friend, Jia Wei, a Christian, if I could follow her to the church to visit the inside. And she said okay :)

But not to nightclub or pub.

Kelakar rasanya bila fikir pasal how irony some Muslims are. Islam means peace, so, it brings peace to our life. Every one wants to live a peaceful life; life without misery and much complexity. That what Islam offers. Sebab tu jugak nikmat terbesar dalam hidup yang tak tahan lama ni adalah Islam dan Imaan, regardless of how little amount you have in heart, at least you have it there. But somewhere, somehow things are way weirder than I thought. 

How could you let go of nikmaat for maksiaat?

Umpamanya, taknak makan Kenny Rogers sebab nak makan biskut mayat kat rumah walaupun ada orang nak belanja. Serius. It doesn’t make sense at all to me. So.......................... weird. 

I walk slowly while thinking the reason for the weirdness. But then I figured out that this is the simple logic, which we poorly understand almost throughout our whole life.

Kebenaran and kebatilan are significantly distinctive. [Ref- Al Anbiya:18]

We know the rights and wrongs. We really do. Antara layan Internet and solat Fardhu, which one is the right thing to do? Antara perhabehkan duit mak ayah untuk beli iPong padahal tak reti guna pun and guna henpon canggih yang sedia ado, which one is the right thing to do? Even if we don't know or not sure about it, our hearts still, certainly, know it. Lets use reverse principle of magnet. Basically, all hearts are good hearts because it's a gift from God. So, good heart is attracted to goodness and vice versa. When it meets less goodness, the attraction is not very strong. But when it meets the evil, it moves away from each other. When you try to put them back close, the heart still strongly repels and vibrates because it isn't in its nature to be attracted to the opposite. 

Yes, nature of the heart.

This topic is also heavily related with the next topic, which is on Imaan and Nafsu, nanti kita belajar sama-sama yeee. The bottom line is that, to answer the question of why Muslims are not muslims, we need to go back to the basics. Not to get the exact answer to it, sebab banyaknyaaaa jawapaaaannnn, but to recall and revise the basic principles in Islam (also have a perfect manual to it - the Quran) that bring us to the ways of living a peaceful life, even for a very short while.

*Note to self: 

Frustration, disappointment and anger are negative. Negativity comes from the evil. The agents are the devils. So, don't bother much about them. Focus to the solution. Be smart, be sabirin. I swear by the name of Most Loving, people can change into better. Think, do and do'a. 

May you, my friend, turn back to the righteous path. Ameen ameen ameen.
