Azan is a summon for prayer delicately to those who disregard and a reminder to those who perceived and faithfully obeyed the obligation towards their Creator. Believing and understanding the existence of the Creator and It's creation awake us from our incautious life.
The awareness of my existence on this ephemeral (fana') nature, inspired me to explore further to where my destinations will be.First of all let me begin with a question of, who am I? We need to know who we are. Which one is the real of 'ME' or 'AKU' originate from Allah The Almighty, that will be returned back to HIM?
Is it the one that obviously be seen complete with head, body, hands and legs?.. No, that's only the casing / housing or physical body of us that we lodge in.
We lodged in our casing / housing or physical body that had been created from 4 types of element. Earth, fire, water and wind/air. Without these 4 elements we will not exist. Our flesh is from earth, fire is our blood that flows forming as a fuel and water that we need into our body both for the energy, and wind/air that we inhale(pump in) to generate the cycles. Look at when we are dead, all the 4 elements will be returned back to their origin. Flesh will be returned back to the earth or be eaten by maggots, blood and water that stop flowing, dries out and air will not be pumped in. All that are new to us and will not last forever.
So, the real 'ME' or 'AKU' is our soul blown in by Allah The Almighty into the physical body as an instrument to live and move, to see, to think, to talk etc. That 'ME' or 'AKU' (our soul) will be returned back, for our judgement and reciprocation (pembalasan) by it's Belonging.
That's where the destination will be.

Ya, absolutely agree that our soul is the real ME. Our physical will do what our brain ask for. But what makes our brain think the way we think? Is it the real ME. If that so, what the real ME controled by? Is it the word that we call IMAN? Where does IMAN came from?
ReplyDeleteNow I understand that IMAN comes first and then the real ME and then our brain. Is it the correct schedule?
Assalamualaikum,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I would like to thank you for sharing the thoughts. Initially my first inspiration is to share about the facts and the existence of life which could be shared among whom that really want to think and grope about.
To my understanding and believed that IMAN will be formed and developed when we realised who we really are then eager to know who the Creator was. Born as a muslim, we are lucky to know Allah The Almighty from our childhood. But that won't ensure we are in IMAN.
With IMAN the brain will be properly controlled as required.
