UNIMAS Postgraduate Room
Kota Samarahan
I was preparing a slide show for tomorrow's persentation.Tired.. I need a break. Breaking out of tiredness and dunia, my fingers danced gracefully typing my friends' blogs url . My eyes nailed to the computer's screen, reading their entries. Refreshing iman....Suddenly, out of no where... "Hi Kak!!", a voice of a girl in brownish tudung loose my concentration. Aisyah Humairah, affectionally known as Waiz grinned at me. She looks so happy. It is normal for me, receiving visit from juniors in the afternoon. They love to lepak here (PG Room) while waiting for the next class. I smiled back, diverting my concentration to her.
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz :Assalamua'laikum wbt kak!
me: Wa'alaikumussalam w.b.t.
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : Are you going to be here the whole evening?
me: Yup... InsyaAllah
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : Can I do my work here?
me: Sure ... :)
and our conversation continues,
Me: Aisyah, may I ask you something?
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz :Sure. Why not.
Me: What do you feel before you embrace Islam?
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : I feel like there was an empty side (i don't know how to exactly express it in words) but I do feel empty. Every day, i woke up having my breakfast, go to class and came back having my dinner and go to sleep. That was how my lame routine goes.
Me: How did you define that emptiness?
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz :Emptiness.. erm.. emptiness... (thinking)..I felt empty when I didn't have the answer of 'why we (human being) should live and yet, die'. I mean, if we live for searching endless fortune, obviously it i useless in life after death. Then if it is for fame, erm... kak.. you think it yourself.. there is no point too! If it is to find hapiness, you know that it would not last long.
Me: How did you define happiness back then?
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : Have you ever felt of needing something or someone's attention so badly? (I nod) What do you feel when your wish is granted? I am sure you would feel like 'butterflies flying over your head' (I went.. huh?). Opss sorry, is it sound so artistic? erm... I meant that, you would feel a tremendous happiness that cannot be described in words.
Me: From what you have said, it seems that there is a point to gain hapiness. Isn't that just enough?
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : But the feeling does not last long. Can you think of something that can last long. Eternal?
Me: Yes.
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : What is it?
Me: Allah. The only creator that creates the universe and even when the world is at its end, Allah will never die.
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : That is right! That is in a muslim's point of view. But before I embrance Islam, I didn't have the answer.
Me: Erm... Didn't you believe in God before?
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz :Well, erm.. honestly speaking, no. My way of thinking before was based on logic. Everything needs proof. Seeing is believing. I never met God before and it even goes the same to everyone. So i did not believe in God.
Me: So, what makes you do now?
Aisyah a.k.a Waiz : ... silence... thinking...Erm...Try to think of the electricity. We can feel the benefits out of it, But, can you really see the electricity itself? No, you don’t. It goes the same with God. We never see God but we can feel God's existence. The proof is at your surroundings. Look at the sky....
Time show 1.07 pm.Break for zohor prayer. To be continued...InsyaAllah
