For you and me

so lucky, allow me to bring light to the subject.

PICTURE THIS

there's this someone who knows you very well, he never nags you nor does he ever stop you from doing anything. he left you a note, a message, or shall i say a whole book which you got very early in life telling you a thing or two, things he wants you to know/do. he gives you things no one else can possibly give, happiness, sight, people to love, pain and if you're lucky he gives you a personal gift, only for you, only you can handle. if there's someone who can give you at least one of those things wouldn't you do absolutely anything for em? No? You won't do anything for a person who'd cause you pain? little do you know a girl/guy that you're in love with might be the reason for one heck of a heartache but you'd still do anything for em.

How generous of Allah to give and give and demand only so little in return, what? prayers 5 times a day, fast, perform pilgrimage and our undying love, between a creator and His creation, that's little, if you wanna compare to what He gives us. i can't imagine, He gives so much everyday but He gives so much more in a month called Ramadhan.

For every tiny good deed, He gives you pahala but not the usual amount, He double or triples it this month (wallahualam) it's like bonus round in a game, the time limit? one month, 30 days each year. Subhanallah. I've heard of people who don't stop berzikir because one second that you waste without doing a good deed is such a huge loss. Everyone races to the mosque every night to perform Terawikh, you only get to do it during Ramadan, oh if only we knew, the reward is... tremendous. plus, to ease our good doings, Allah has tied up all the syaitan.

Okay so there's gonna be some people who say, hmmf, only during Ramadhan do we see these people bringing themselves closer to Allah, and all the other months? they return to their own lives. Let me tell you, at least they're doing it. oh oh there was once i heard someone saying "sunat, tak payah buat". the reply that came "hello sunat la yang kena buat, nak add on pahala xcukup ke, mana la kau blaja".

alright about this Ramadhan, apart from getting multiple pahala, Allah has hidden one night, a special night, where whoever who gets the chance to encounter this 'night', is the luckiest human being to have lived. it's called malam lailatulqadr. the pahala you get for the solat etc on lailatulqadr is equals to or even better than the pahala you collect when you beribadah to Allah for 1000 months, do the math that's about 83 years. and anyone, just any tom dick or harry(muslims that is) stands a chance to stumble across lailatulqadr.

So there, i hope i'll get to benefit from Ramadhan just as i am sure you will. InsyaAllah. and also, may we get to encounter lailatulqadr this Ramadhan :) Amin.
