THE BLUE AND THE YELLOW
Have a dream...a “fantasy-oid” one..It was a WAR!!!The battle between two tribes…but here there were no people..They were robots! Imagine two large groups of robots like those from the transformers were fighting in a battlefield..one tribe was of the blue robots and the other was of the yellow ones..
With super high technology used on the equipments and the gadgets..They brutally fought one another to define the men of victory…I couldn’t remember which side of the robots but let’s just assume that the blue robots were taking control of the war... they vanished the yellow robots one by one..the yellow had become weak..and they were finally defeated.. so these blue warriors eventually have the power over the buildings and towers of the yellow ones..they invaded the castle and started to settle there.. as pictured, the blue were having their great time in the castle..they were having fun with drinks.. and some were having their break..lying down..
After some time, the blue robots went to take ablution(wudu’)..oh yeah they were muslims.. so they went to the ablution room..at the very moment of the ablution..Very suddenly, the blue robots surprisingly were attacked! An ambush by the left yellow robots.. The blue robots were badly cornered.
And the next thing I knew, there was the scene where all of the locals were running haphazardly, as the city was falling down into pieces..The wind was striking very hard, the sand was whirling endlessly. And out of the blue, I saw myself was running with my friends too... (we were among the locals) and my friends, one by one disappeared through the whirling sand. And in the end I was all alone by myself. I kept on running real fast, trying to outrun the tornado while there’s a BIGGG lion behind, speeding towards me.
Alone, I dashed into a mosque I think..Climbing to the top floor and the lion was still there behind, until I reached some kind of a corridor where the ground floor exactly below it, located a huge pool. No clue where to go next. I turned around, the lion was still running fast towards me. I stood there, as if waiting for it to come nearer…And when it was about to pounce me, suddenly I bend myself, trying to escape, and there was the lion flying beyond the corridor and finally it fell down, heading itself down into the pool. Booosh… I was saved.
And then, there was me suddenly outside alone in the desert..After the war..Me and the silent sand, no buildings no people..then I saw another big mosque like that in Turkey, only it’s larger. I headed towards it, and pulled open the huge door. I jerked my head inside, there I saw an old woman, in her telekung sitting with her back facing me. Then she turned her head around. She looked at me..And she smiled…-end-
Now as usual,the time for a conclusion..
The blue robots after they've won the war..They were having fun, carried away by victory.. why didn’t they at least sujud syukur to express their syukur to Allah and worse, they perform solah LATER after that..they are neglectful of their solah..
Maka kecelakaanlah bagi orang-orang yang shalat. (yaitu) orang-orang yang lalai dari shalatnya (Al-ma'un : 4-5)
The true victory is not merely by conquering something..the true victory is to be able to give thanks to Allah whether we have achieved something or even when we lose..(kpd diri sndiri dan kwn2 yang menanti result final.. terima dgn bersyukur whatever our results may be..huu)
Dan apabila Kami berikan kesenangan kepada manusia niscaya berpalinglah dia; dan membelakang dengan sikap yang sombong; dan apabila dia ditimpa kesusahan niscaya dia berputus asa. (Al-israa' :83)
And the next point, in the end..in my dream..I was the only one saved from all of the people..and finally, I met with an old woman, indicating that there was a new population..with new people… perhaps the old woman wearing her telekung shows that the people from the new population are much better than the previous..this ayah might suit it..
Jika Dia menghendaki, niscaya Dia memusnahkan kamu dan mendatangkan makhluk yang baru (untuk menggantikan kamu). (Faathir :16)
Never let duniawi carry you away..make you away from Allah..as students, it's true we are always showered by assignments..but don't forget the holliest assignment of all..is to present your solah to Allah..5 times a day
Sesungguhnya beruntunglah orang yang membersihkan diri (dengan beriman),dan dia ingat nama Tuhannya, lalu dia sembahyang. (Al-a'laa:14-15)
