The man who said, 'It is I'




A CERTAIN man once came and knocked on on the door of a friend.

'Who are you, faithful one?' his friend asked.

'I,' he answered.

'Go away', the friend said. 'It is not the proper time. There is no place for such a raw fellow at a table like mine.'

What shall cook the raw, but he fire of banishment and separation? What shall deliver him out of hypocrisy?

That wretched man departed and wandered abroad for a year, burned as with sparks of fire in separation from his friend. So, scorched, he was cooked; then he returned and once more circled about the house of his companion. Fearful a hundredfold, he gently knocked tat the door, anxious lest any unmannerly word should escape his lips.

His friend called, 'Who is that at the door?'

He answered, 'You also are at the door, heart-ravisher!'

'Now,' the friend cried, 'since you are I, come in. O I! There is not room in the house for two I's.'

Book Riview: Jangan Nodai cinta



Yesterday i was joining book discussion held by prima bimantara. was a gr8 review showed by young speaker "ustadz Syahrul Syah", hilarious speaker with many expression during his speech... anyway i was late got there cos defi's bike got spiked so we have to walk across the street to find "tukang tambal ban" to change the back tire... one next happend was... her bike machine was stopped whilst the traffic light was red... oh my god... watta experience!!!...
lets back to the book review, book review of this month is "Jangan Nodai Cinta".... anyway what is love we called all this time.... i didnt noticed the review properly... just discussed with friends abt love is and abt our love, thts all, but i realize, who can give us the real love?... boyfriend?... boss?... money?... mostly we asked their love but we never know, whether they really loves us or no. is it love when we too much asking? the answer is no... after all i ve searched the meaning of true love. still i didnt find the most true love than Allah's love, Arrosul's love and Parent's love.... they give us love, never asking too much, just giving and giving, the key to get their love is "obedience".....

My love is my obedience

One day if i have to give my love
i will only give my obedience

one day if i have to give my love
it will only for you who love Allah and His messenger

one day if we love each other
it will only love for obedience to Allah

one day if i have to end my love
i only want to end with you

so i can be ur angel in jannah
