Yknow..as we age, or grow up, our perceptions toward things (e.g. food, clothes, people, LIFE) change. And I couldn't agree more to that.
I used to think wearing the hip and cool clothes showed in the Western magazines were THE in thing to do, and so I had thought I'd continue doing so till I die. Or going to movies, or hanging out with friends or boyfriends at cafe, having fun at parties and clubs are THE life to live for.
Heh. I was wrong.
I couldn't believe I was so stupid before. So disillusioned by those media and psychological war coming from the West. But nothing can stop me from finding the truth in this life..as I aged, and grew more mature, I realize that I've found the COOLEST thing ever :)
And it's ISLAM. Yknow the word itself means something, which is submission. Submission to whom? of course to Allah, the One and Only. And by submission to Him we obey His suruhan, and leave whatever He prohibits. Obeying His commands can be a lot, but honestly, we do it because of Him, right? So that we can go to heaven and eventually see who He really is, right? That itself is a blessing that is indescribable. Who wouldn't want to meet THE One, who has created us- created EVERY SINGLE thing in this world- that includes happiness, love, cherishment, and everything else you can imagine. I would like to think that no matter how much we praise Him, if everybody in this world is praising him, it would never be enough because His Greatness is beyond what can be counted or measured.
Islam is a way of life. You eat, drink, sleep, bathe because of Allah. How you dress, how you interact with people, how you behave-- everything is conducted within the boundries of Islam. And each muslim in this world is treated as either a brother or sister, full with love and respect. We unite in the name of Islam, we seperate in the name of Islam. Brotherhood or sisterhood can be the greatest thing ever in this world too, provided that that -hood....
...is in ISLAM.
