A GIFT OF LIFE

GIFT OF LIFE

Aisya Sarra

Gift of Life
Quran Surah 23 - Al-Mu'minun (The Believers)
Verse 14
then We made this drop into a clot,
then We made the clot into a lump,
then We made the lump into bones,
then we cloth the bones with flesh, and ...
then We caused it to grow into another creation....
Thus most Blessed Allah....
The best of those who create...

This process of creation  happens in the creation of all animals as well, but God has shaped man into a special creature different from animals......mashaallah ....

Arrival of Aisya Sarra

It was an anxious wait ..because the date 11/11/11 was a day ahead and it was the date that everyone was hoping for ..Why? Just because it looks great on your birth certificate and identity card  if your birthday were to fall on such a date ...but Aisya Sarra arrived  on 10/11/11 at about 6.30pm a birth that only happen after conception determined only by the great  one ..Allah ..no money in whatever currency and no man in whatever position can have the power to make it happen !!!

We recieved the fon call and we screamed ...literally....Aisya Sarra is here ...she has arrived ...lets get ready quickly ..lets go ...lets go.. Her two brothers, Imran Ariff the elder one who is four years old and Ridhwan Ariff who is two and a half  both scrambled to the bathroom making  sure they look and smell good for Aisya Sarra...their new sister..

Asalamualaikum

On arrival to the  hospital  we had to wait for quite a while before the nurse brought Aisya Sarra ...we saw her..a bundle of joy ..many would  refer to ...Her head was full of hair, jet black and including sideburns! Yes sideburns ....yet she look absolutely gorgeous and beautiful !!!  I looked at her in amazement and my heart quivered...disturbed and touched .....somehow ....this time the arrival of Aisya Sarra my third granddaughter  made my heart stopped a second to wonder at this magical moment  ...... because   at this golden age   I somehow saw her arrival from a different window the window of life ...it was a special gift ....a..GIFT OF LIFE . Before, I was too busy to notice the difference ....I was  consumed with the daily routine of the material world, ...in the past I took it for granted ...an attitude that says ...it's natural ..why fuss ??

Candy Cane

Softer than silk

Today I  the true meaning of the phrase "gift of life" hit me right through, it made me see the difference that  human  life is really special  Just try comparing  the gift of life to animals and plants .The difference you will notice that human has the ability to make rational choices and should be able to handle feelings or emotions of  anger, hatred or love. Able to think and accept that at the end of the day  one has to face the  consequences of the choice made in reference to the Quran  and Sunnah . I thank god that he made me see today through Aisya Sarra what  I missed before ...I thank Allah for the life he gave her and all of us  ...I thank him for the  nur i.e. the light  that  reminded me  where I came from and where I will  be be going when life  end .

Gift from Heaven

I looked at her ..she is only a day old...a long way to go ..and me? I am already reaching the end as I am sixty years old ...long overdue ..And I began to ask myself ..what choices did I make along the way ..did I make the right choices ?  Am I ready to face Allah and answer for all my choices ?! Subhanallah !

Trapped ?!

In islam there must be balance between iman (faith) and amal (practice) During the recent talk I was shaken again when I was told to look around and see...looking through the glass we might be able to see that   some of us appear to have "iman" , that is admitting we have all the knowlege with regards to faith in god but   when taken under the microscope examining our "amal" that is our doings or deeds in this world it is hard to admit  the truth that they not congruent and therefore  in conflict with each other. When a person is not congruent it disturbs the balance in us. That is why for many of us although we may have all the material needs that we think we require unfortunately for many that need is insatiable. The feeling, it is never enough, it lingers like a bottomless pit ! We somehow get ourselves trapped !

Cofused? Banana ?? Edible

The irony even for those who believe all that exit in this world  is natural due to nature ..appear to be  confuse because some or the cause they are trying to uphold in the name of human rights is against the law of nature itself. That happens when one is not in congruent within oneself. Just look around  nowadays  we can witness alot of Allah's command in the quran is construed by many to be not in line with the present. Worse those accusations are made by many who never once read or studied the Quran and it's contents in depth with those in authority. Yet they  insist that they are right and label Allah's commands as outdated and traditional and archaic and not in line with human rights! However I personally find it odd because all these intrepretations are made by those we refer to as "jahil" meaning when one who is not the expert in the field and do not have the knowledge but claim to be as the expert. It is just like someone who read a little on the heart disease for example and yet claim he knows best...  claim he is the expert.....in such a case is he your point of reference where  would you  would seek and trust his advise   ....Would you?

If you keep your ears open, at present many issues with regards to the above said are being debated and I will leave it to your good judgement to decide where you stand . As said above the choice and consequence is yours ...

Choosing the right path ?

Therefore in trying  to make the right choices I love to be made aware that choices here mean choosing the right path as determine by Allah in the quran and the teachings from the prophet Muhamad s.a.w. for those who embrace Islam . Making the right choice would also mean not at face value..we have to walk the talk and try our level best to be congruent in mind, soul and actions as we have to answer to Allah when we face him hereafter. How to ? Definitely it is not easy..who says it is .. of course it is easier said than done..but try we must !

Brothers 

I looked at Aisya Sarra again and pray that Allah will show her and her brothers the right path....because being able to be in the right path they will be able to withstand  all odds especially in this virtual life where there is no borders. Everything good or bad is on the net.. she has to make a choice...Insyaallah choosing the right path is the only way in principle where Allah will always be there ..to keep them safe, sane and more important not confuse and blurred and congruent to face the challenges ahead of them.

Inshaalah god permit ..Aisya Sarra ..and brothers  will find time to thank Allah in times of prosper or otherwise and most important at the end of the road they will be ready to face Allah and thank HIM  again for giving them LIFE a GIFT they cannot get from stores... A gift only from Allah...

Subhanallah....its time I be reminded to thank Allah too for the same gift  he gave me.... like he gave Aisya Sarra ...what about you ?!
