Pray With Love

Seekor tikus, jatuh cinta dengan seekor unta.
Cinta pandang pertama la ni.

Untuk buktikan cintanya,
Si tikus ajak si unta pegi rumah dia.
"Rumah ni, dan segala yang ada di dalamnya adalah milikmu."

Si unta tengok rumah tu,
dan tengok si tikus tu.
"Carilah rumah yang boleh sesuai dengan orang yang kamu cinta,
atau carilah cinta yang sesuai dengan rumah kamu.

Ibn al-Qayim (Rahimahu Allah):

Sama juga seperti kamu.

Either make your Salah befitting of your Lord, 
or seek a Lord who is fitting of your Salah” [1].

Ramai antara kita,
cuai,
tak sedar tentang khusyu',
dan fokus dalam solat.

Tak ramai antara kita,
yang mujahadah dalam setiap solat,
untuk sempurnakannya,
kerana ALLAH.

Ibn al-Qayim dalam buku yang sama:

“It was said to one of them that: We find ourselves distracted in our Salah.

He said: Is it the Jannah (Paradise) you are thinking about, 
or are they the Hur al-Ayn (women of Paradise) [that have taken your minds away], 
or is it the Day of Judgement [that is causing you to be distracted]?

They replied: Rather it is [affairs of] this worldly life [that] is distracting us.

He said: It is more beloved to me that you go
between spearheads than that which you just mentioned.

You stand in your prayers with your body, 
directing your face to the Qiblah, 
while your heart is directed to a different territory?!

Woe to you!

That prayer [of yours] is not worthy
of  being a Mahr (dowry) for Paradise,
how then can it be befitting for [attaining] the Love [of Allah]!" [2].

Allah...

Bukan ke solat tu,
dapat cegah mungkar?

Kita solat,
tapi masih payah nak buang
karat-karat jahiliyah tu.

Oxidation,
Reduction,
berlaku tanpa henti nampaknya.

Mungkin,
kita loveless dalam solat tu.

Solat tanpa cinta pada Dia,
luar solat,
kamu kata,
kamu hidup dengan cinta pada Dia?

NONSENSE!!

Bukankah dalam hati kita,
tidak boleh ada dua rongga (AQ 33:4) ?

It is hard, I know.
We all know that.
Versus, eh?
Let us try our best,
the bestest,
to make our solah,
befitting to Him.
For sake of Him.
The one,
and only.

Yeah?

Sesungguhnya by Raihan.
Suits this post.
