i had no choice but to blog it. this piece of mind was running in me sometime ago, but i did not have the time to type it out, and now it's coming back again - so here goes
last time when i just started uni, no, i mean, college, many many MANY people asked me why did i not join UIA. yes, of course partly it was becoz my course ACCA was a better option than an accounting degree, but at the end of the day, why choose a course not offered in UIA?
well, some may question why do ppl even ask "why not UIA". em, i think it's just becoz firstly UIA is an islamic university, thus coming from an islamic school, u usually further ur studies in an islamic institution, and secondly, becoz more than half of adni-ans join UIA.
last time i was "supposed" to take up medic, but somehow ended up in the accountancy line. it was a last minute decision of mine, though other ppl always have the perception that my dad talked me into it - which is not true
anways, back to the main point. now i am VERY VERY VERY thankful, grateful that i did not end up in UIA. of course there's tarbiyyah there, there's a good bi'ah there, yet maybe that is not the best way for ME to learn Islam.
looking at the people around me in college, i learn to appreciate Islam. yes, i know that i do not behave in the best manner as how a true muslim should be, but alhamdulillah, i WANT to be a muslim.
being surrounded by these people, only now i realised, and only now i really really thank Allah for giving me the HONOUR to speak directly to Him. to be able to ask from Him during times of hardship, to be able to thank Him during times of happiness, to be able to serve Him directly. i do not have to make use of "messengers" who may stolen by others, who may misunderstand what i need.
it's like this: having the honour to stand in front of the Most Highest, Greatest King of the entire universe, and ask Him whatever you want; and the best part - He never fails to keep His promises. plus, He does not have to share power with "other kings". He is Supreme, the Only One. people say two heads are better than one, but u see, Allah is already TOO great, He doesnt even need any "other head". He is the one who creates everything, the All-knowing, so not one single creation is comparable to Him, let alone become a partner.
i mean, He is God. note the word - GOD, TUHAN, LORD, RABB. He is soooo powerful, beyond imagination. yet, i cant understand why some people underestimate the power of God. He created this magnificent, wonderful and very complex universe from nothingness, yet u still underestimate Him? u feel that He's not so great, that He needs to have other gods placed in this world to look over different kinds of needs?
alhamdulillah, i am a muslim.
i know that all these are all basic and logical, but to me, this has made me want to become a muslim. He has created me, thus i have the responsibility of carrying out the duties of a muslim. having the honour of speaking to the King directly does not come for free. there is a responsibility attached, and insyaAllah, jannah is going to be much much more than only just "worth it"
|| Ya Allah, please keep me in Your deen forever ||
