Show me the one as great as Allah

I’m preparing notes for my students as their references for 15 weeks of classes. But the other side of my inquisitive mind keeps thinking of the book I have been reading since last week. I would like to recommend but I guess I need to finish it first. Still, I believe that a good book is a book that can keep your interest from the starting point until the last page. In fact, you may have the idea to buy another book of the same author. =)

Al-Quran is the best book ever. Why? If you read Al-Quran, I’m sure you understand enough what I mean. We don’t need a professor to explain and elucidate the feeling of reading Al-Quran. You yourself can sense the feeling every time you read the Quran. If you don’t believe me, experience it by yourself. And it is much better if you read it together with the translation as it will bring you into another subject of science, history, health and many more.

However, not all the translation can be easily understood. Well, it is normal as Al-Quran is not a low-priced book. It is exclusively created by the Greatest King (Allah S.W.T) in the universe with a high class artistic language which none of human could formulate not even the same one. Besides, Al-Quran has been guaranteed to be unchangeable. Ironically, this book is given to everyone without any charge, request payment nor deposit. HE has shown that HE is not only powerful but also generous. Can you show me any king just as generous as HIM? NO!

As HE is the one who invented the Al-Quran and the human, definitely HE knows better what is the best for us. Therefore, HE sent a magnificent human to teach us how to read and comprehend HIS words. Go and buy any book in the bookstall, will you get any translator that can explain and demonstrate to you every of the sentence the whole of his life? NO!  But Muhammad S.A.W did it. After what Allah S.W.T had granted us, I feel so embarrassed to still not understand HIS book. No, it’s not HIS fault or Rasulullah S.A.W fault. It is my fault. As an educator, I am aware of the concept of teaching and learning. Give as much as you can to your students, but if he didn’t want to open his heart and searches more. He will forget what had been taught to him.

Searching. Yes, that’s the word. The only way to understand this universe and all its mystery. And I’m wrong. How do I know I’m wrong? “Bertanya Tentang Tuhan” by Ibnu Rijal coached me to another word in order to comprehend the truth which is observing. Don’t take me wrong. Ibnu Rijal just showed me the word that had been written down thousand years ago in the Al-Quran.

The book assists me to appreciate every little thing in Al-Quran. No wonder all words and numbers in Al-Quran have their own meanings.  In fact, we can find a lot of disciplines including architecture.  Looking at HIS power, I feel that we human are just small tiny mini powerless creatures.

Trust me.

If you don’t,

Can you show me any great architect as great as Allah S.W.T who has built the sky; a tremendous structure that stood up for countless years without pillar?

Refusing to Accept Failure

by: Brian Cavanaugh, T.O.R., Source Unknown

Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to climb Mount Everest. On May 29, 1953 he scaled the highest mountain then known to man-29,000 feet straight up. He was knighted for his efforts. He even made American Express card commercials because of it! However, until we read his book, High Adventure, we don't understand that Hillary had to grow into this success. You see, in 1952 he attempted to climb Mount Everest, but failed. A few weeks later a group in England asked him to address its members. Hillary walked on stage to a thunderous applause. The audience was recognizing an attempt at greatness, but Edmund Hillary saw himself as a failure. He moved away from the microphone and walked to the edge of the platform. He made a fist and pointed at a picture of the mountain. He said in a loud voice, "Mount Everest, you beat me the first time, but I'll beat you the next time because you've grown all you are going to grow... but I'm still growing!"

A beautiful butterfly

A butterfly is always beautiful
Unfortunately, its life is so short
If she can answer, I really want to know...

Which one is her choice...
To live longer without any colour or to live beautifully in just a short time?

Which one is yours?

Benjamin Button

I have just finished watching a movie entitle “Curious case of Benjamin Button”. It was about a man who was born old. I mean physically old but his mental was just like other children. His mother died after giving birth to him and his father hardly accepted his condition. Well, it must be difficult for his father, so he sent him to the old folk’s house. There, he lived like an old man. But, no one understood his feelings of wanted to be free and to be given chances learning like other children.

To make it short, he grew up and turned to someone charming, got married and had a beautiful daughter. Yet, he realized that one day he would be younger than today and certainly gave his wife and his daughter the hassle of taking care of him. So, he left and gave all his money to them. One day, his wife got a call from the children’s welfare. Benjamin Button was found in a very aged building alone. With him was a diary, a journey of his strange life and her address. Starting from that day, she took care of him. He forgot her name and even his own name. People thought that he was sick but she knew that he was senile. While she gradually became older and older, he changed and turned to be younger and younger until he forgot how to walk and how to speak. He died as a baby when she was really old on her lap.

It was a sad story. The love between them is so strong and eternal. They accept their partners as who they are. Yes, he left her, but for her good. There are two main themes in this movie. Love and grateful is a good combination of the themes. When everyone in real life terrified of being old, Benjamin Button scared of being young. He preferred to be normal like other people. He wanted to experience school, friends and many more but he was too old (physically) to do so. When his mental was ready to be a father, he was physically too young to be his daughter’s father. “I want to be an old, wise man to our daughter and not her buddy”. Don’t you think that Allah have created everything perfectly? We were asked to learn and work when we are young so that we won’t face any problem in the future. Our physical and mental parts move equivalently in order to balance our needs. What we have to do is to be grateful of what we are. Use your time wisely and remember death has no time to calculate your age.

To be grateful is not just saying thank you but to appreciate every single moments in our lives especially with our loved ones. Spending times with them and make sure that the people we love in a good condition is not so easy. It needs sacrifice just like what Benjamin did when he left his family. He sacrificed the feeling that he had. But somehow, love means together, both in happiness and sorrow. Whatever we do, we still turn to someone we love. In the end, Benjamin went back to his wife.

Sometimes, we always hope that we are unique. We want to be someone extraordinary, someone with special talent. We forgot that we don’t have to have special gift to be extraordinary because everyone is unique. We are unique in our own ways.

Sometimes, we are looking for something as a reason to be loved by others. We forgot that love is not an exclusive feeling. It is not for certain people, it is for everyone. It doesn’t happen for millions different reason. It happens for a usual one. It happens because of who you are.

We may not be able to be someone extraordinary

But we can make someone feels extraordinary

And if someone has ever said that you made him or her felt extraordinary,

You must know that you are special to that someone.

And if now or one day you do feel extraordinary

That’s mean someone special has come into your life.

He or she may be our Mr. Right or Miss Perfect today

But one day, when we feel tired of our surrounding

Remind ourselves that he or she is just someone ordinary like us

But he or she has made us feel extraordinary when we were just an ordinary one.
