Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the STRANGERS...


Be (live) in the world as if you are a STRANGER or a passer-by...

XXX-Ray

We know how x-rays allow us to see through to the skeletons. Last time, maybe in the 90's there was this famous malay movie entitled XX-ray, a science-fiction story about the discovery of a more powerful ray than x-ray, thus the name xx-ray. Now, my post today is on XXX-ray!

Its the power to look through people up to the level that you can't even see that person in front of you!
Very powerful dont you think?!
Of course every powerful thing has to come from a very powerful source.
And this very powerful source we're talking about here is none other than the heart filled with the greatness of Allah!

Because the greatness of Allah is so great in their hearts, everything around them can only remind them of Allah. When tested with friends or relatives for example, the greatness of Allah is so big in their eyes that they can only see Allah behind everything that anyone did to him. They believe with certainty, that these people causing them trouble are merely tools used by Allah to test His slaves. 

As much as the 'commonfolk' believe that the one to be blamed in a case of murder is the murderer and not the gun or the knife used for the murder, these special people believe that everyone around them are merely tools and they have no power to do anything without the Will of Allah. And who are we to blame our Creator. For verily He knows whats best for us. His love for us is more than anything in the world.

Lets choose to please Him. Lets choose to get closer to Him with every difficulties we may be facing in life.
Just remember that however severe the hardship we're facing in this world, if we manage to please Allah by putting His pleasure above anything else, insyaAllah, in the HereAfter we'd definitely realize that its definitely worth it. Cause the eternal, unimagineable rewards in the HereAfter is far far greater than the biggest of hardship in this temporary world!

so how do we get this 'XXX-ray'?
simply by trying our very best to be His favourites.. how?
by increasing our optional deeds! -reminding myself, firstly!

As mentioned in a hadeeth:

My servant ceases not to seek nearness to Me through optional deeds until I make him my favourite, and thus I become His ears wherewith he hears, his eyes wherewith He sees, and his hands wherewith he holds, and his feet wherewith he walks.

May Allah make us all His favourites!
Amin!
