Jannah

It has been sometimes since I last sit and write my blog entry properly. since now I have my blogger apps on my mobile, I just type anything that came across my mind at that moment (if the wireless connection is available of course) without going through it over before posting it. And I am sorry for the typos, and unorganized thought.

Well for now, just wanna share something that came across my mind last Sunday, quite late though, but still I wanna put it here~
It has been 2 weeks since my housemate when back to Malaysia for her Aidilfitri celebration, and now she is on her way back to Auckland for another half of the semester. Well, since I myself love to see neat surrounding the moment I step in the house, so I guess she would feel the same. Well it's the golden rule ryte, we treat others like how we want to be treated. So I just arrange things nicely (not that nice but maybe accordingly, just so your eyes tak rasa menyemak bila tengok hehe). We sweep the floors, throw away the rubbing. Well that sorts of things. Just to please her, to make her feel happy=)

Then I suddenly a thought about Jannah (paradise) came. Allah The Most Merciful The Most Gracious has prepared the super cool jannah for His servant even before the first human, Adam was created. Just imagine, when you read Quran, all sorts of descriptions about Jannah is there
Just imagine, if we prepare our house for our guest, we'll make sure that it looks super OK, so that he will be pleased
And He prepared His Best House to His servant. Something that has never been heard about, never been see; but He gave you some 'clue' of it looks like

"Gardens of perpetual bliss – they shall enter them as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring. And angels shall enter upon them from every gate.”
[Surah al-Rad, 13: 23]

“Be foremost (in seeking) forgiveness from your Lord. And a garden of bliss, the width of the heavens and the earth prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers - that is the grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He pleases, and Allah is the Lord of abounding grace.”
[Al Hadid, 57:21]

“(Here is)A parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised. In it are rivers of water, incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, delicious to those who drink; and rivers of honey, pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits and forgiveness from their Lord. Can those in such bliss be compared to such as shall dwell forever in the Fire? Those whom shall be given boiling water to drink, it will be so hot that it cuts up their bowels to pieces.” [Surah Muhammad, 47:15]

“Their thirst will be slaked with pure wine, sealed. The seal will be of musk. For This, let the competitors compete. With it (will be given) a mixture of Tasneem, (highest spring in Paradise), a spring from which those nearest to Allah drink.” [Surah al-Mutaffifeen, 83: 25-28]

And if we prepare something for an important guest, then we'll make sure that all the foods, and other stuff is even better than Super OK standard.
Then imagine, if I cleaned the house maybe few hours before my flatmate arrive, then Allah has created the Heaven and the Earth BEFORE human has ever created, not to count how long it takes before the first human was selected to see it.
So just imagine how big, and how GREAT His love to His servant?
How Merciful He is, to give us the description so that we are motivated to be GOOD and come back to Him, because only the RIGHT one will have the chance to be in His Jannah.
AND surely, to have, to feel and to be selected to see all these is NOT EASY.
Just like what SSP's band used to say, "No Guts, No Glory"
and same concept apply

dear self, "if you said you want to be there, then are you sure you have done enough in this lif for yourself and people around you?
Apakah kamu mengira bahwa kamu akan masuk surga, padahal belum datang padamu (cobaan) sebagaimana halnya orang-orang terdahulu sebelum kamu? Mereka ditimpa malapetaka dan kesengsaraan, serta diguncangkan (dengan bermacam-macam cobaan) sehingga berkatalah Rasul dan orang-orang yang beriman bersamanya, “Kapankah datangnya pertolongan Allah?” Ingatlah, sesungguhnya pertolongan Allah itu amat dekat. (QS. Al-Baqarah:214)
