of the aftermath

Phewww.. Lama tak menulis. But yes, I only come back here to whine/babble. Kahkahkah. Suke hati aku lah!

Had a conversation with some friends last night. About some religious-politic related stuffs. I said something like "Kita boleh cakap sesuatu perbuatan tu berdosa atau berpahala. Tapi kita tak boleh dictate dia masuk syurga atau neraka". A friend of mine justified by saying "Kalau. Kalau tak sempat mintak maaf, masuk neraka." And I asked him a rhetorical question "So kita suka hati je cakap apa-apa yang kita nak dan meletakkan perkataan 'kalau' tu boleh justify everything?" And surprisingly he replied "Boleh."

And then I stopped talking.

Kalau tak sempat mintak maaf, masuk neraka. K. Macam seluruh hidup kau telah kena define dengan kesalahan tu saja.

I could babbled alot more, but I wasn't in the mood. But it reminded me of something that someone (I forgot who) said "Kita masuk syura ni bukan kerana dosa & pahala. Tapi kerana keredhaan Allah". Somehow I agree to that. Do you remember the story of Alqamah? A very pious guy who did lots of charity, performed lots of prayers etc but on his death bed he had some difficulties to recite the shahadah? And that was only because his mother was angry at him.

See. Keredhaan ibu adalah keredhaan Allah. And for a married woman, it's on her husband. Dan mungkin banyak lagi benda lain yang boleh bawa kepada keredhaan Allah. Syurga neraka bukan kuasa kita & bukan terjangkau oleh akal kita untuk kira dan decide.

Aftermath is way beyond our thinking. But let's hope that we will find the best of it someday. Insya Allah.
