A Memorable Morning
So I was about to go to sleep and tell my friends to wake me up at Fajr when the electricity went. This doesn’t happen usually at GIKI so most of us came out of the rooms. I turned off the light and fan switches, wore my sandals, turned the torch on in my awesome Nokia mobile having a torch that works, picked up a packet of Catty Chins (Cheese) by Super Crisp (man they’re yummy) and went out of my room.
I sat for a while outside on the hostel stairs looking towards the sky (crazy about stargazing). It was quite dark and it seemed really nice, so calm and serene. And I thought to myself that what would it like be at the time of the Prophet (SallAllaahu Alaiyhi Wasallam)? They would have this peace everyday. No pollution, clear sky, no internet to keep them distracted, all connected to nature you know. It must have been amazing. So I finished my snack and went to the mosque. There was no one there at that time. After a while a junior came and we talked a bit and the Azaan started in different mosques around us. So we decided since the guy who usually gives it is not here yet we should go ahead. So for the first time in 4 years of my stay in GIKI, I gave the Azaan. It felt good Alhamdulillah except for the fact that there was no electricity!
Anyway, I lied down there for a while and that guy went out. I could feel that there were mosquitoes gathering around me. I started feeling itchy and knew they were biting. Then the light came and I saw them close to me. First my expression was:
And I then I saw 3-4 sitting on my foot and I’m like
But I realized they must be a lot so I stood up and to no surprise there were quite a lot roaming around me. So I ran like crazy (not literally of course)…
After Namaz now I came back to my room and started counting the red spots that I could see on my hands and feet. To my surprise I have 67 (THREE LESS THAN SEVENTY) mosquito bites on my hands and feet alone (these are the ones I can see and count). Wonder what they did to the rest of me.
But there was only one conclusion this could lead to…. THEY LOVE ME!
Now I better get ready to leave for Rawalpindi. But first, gotta have those parathay…
Have a blessed day. Assalam u alaikum :)
The One Who Was and Will Always Be
I wonder when I look above
With a sigh of love
At the starry sky, with tears of joy
When will this life come to an end?
For I can’t wait and I want to see
The ONE who was and will always be
It’s true this life does have a reason
But the world for me is still a prison
So no wonder what I have in here
That void inside will always be
For I can’t wait and I want to see
The ONE who was and will always be
I try to avoid it but I end up sinning
My heart feels heavy and my head starts spinning
If this is the pain I feel in this world
Then how harsh would the hell fire be
The thought of it makes me hate myself
But despair of HIS mercy I’ll never be
For I can’t wait and I want to see
The ONE who was and will always be
So I turn to HIM, put my head on the ground
My lost soul as if suddenly found
His remembrance puts my heart at peace
And brings a happy thought to mind
If this is the satisfaction of this world
How much pleasure one would in the Heaven find?
And then I can’t wait and I want to see
The ONE who was and will always be
Last But Not Least (Hadith No. 239)
Salam,
Bismillah.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “We (Muslims) are the last (people to come in the world) but (will be) the foremost (on the Day of Resurrection).” The same narrator told that the Prophet had said, “You should not pass urine in stagnant water which is not flowing then (you may need to) wash in it.”
Consider the first narration. Don’t you just love those words? There’s a hidden lesson in them.
We normally think that success of this world will lead us to success of Hereafter as well. But that’s not true. Even if we’re a mere failure according to this world, we can be the rock stars of the Hereafter, provided we are Muslims, i.e we surrender to Allah Alone. :)
Wassalam.
