 here again! just wanna share a bit about something that is interesting to me and what i babbled to my kids (a.k.a. adik hehe):

okay, kita semua sure pernah naik kenderaan kan?

baca doa naik kenderaan kan?

bacaa....

gooodd

they are:

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ

which means:

Glory be to Him who has brought this under our control whereas we were unable to control it. Surely we are to return to Him.

(Surah Zukhruf)

ok, baca doa ini, zahirnya kt fhm ia mewujudkan rasa syukur dan rendah diri, bcs verily, kalau bukan Allah swt lah yang mengizinkan kenderaan itu bergerak, dan merezekikan ia pada kita, memang takkan bergerak lah kan? boleh jadi tiba2 dia breakdown. kalau zaman dulu pula, kenderaannya haiwan spt unta. kalau unta tu degil tak mahu jalan, tak berjalan lah unta tersebut kan? sekali dgn kita2 terbantut perjalanan. kat situ, kita fhm.

tapi pernah terfikir tak, kenapa, dlm byk2 ayat, Allah pilih ayat ini utk mengakhiri doa ini:

"Surely we are to return to Him"

 au  

 "dan sesungguhnya kami akan kembali kpd Tuhan kami" ?

can you sense, that there is something significant and deep there. As if, Allah makes that very verse as the last sentence so that we are all reminded, about the death that is coming. of course, death can happen anywhere, but outside there, is a world where danger is everywhere. There IS possibility of robbery, accident or any bad things to happen on us during the journey which might go to the extend of death. of course, nauzubillahiminzaalik. but im just saying, there IS possibility.

even not by any unpreferable (is that even a word? ohmyenglish!) cause of death, whenever we are on a journey, we are leaving home, or either going home. we are not in a "safe" or "permanent" place. and so, with that verse being recited at the end of the duaa, may we all feel, as soon as we are starting our journey, AANYWHERE we are going, feel that death is coming AANYTIME.

by having the reminder of death, insyaAllah we'll be reminded to safeguard our imann, control our "over dose of excited-ness" throughout the journey and anything that may keep us away from Him.

kadang2 bila baca, i felt: instead of menuju ke tempat yang nak dituju, sebenarnya diri sedang menuju ke arah kematian. dan memang seolah2 Allah nak ingatkan yg, YOU ARE indeed on your journey to death girl. 

huuuuu muhasabah diri muhasabah diri.

so yes, jgn lupa baca doa naik kenderaan, and FEEL it!

moga Allah mudahkan kt, utk menjaga iman kt, di mana saja kt berada. insyaAllah..
