when you bid the world goodbye...
I know i'm supposed to be in bed right now to prepare myself for the journey tomorrow but I'm too disturbed to even close my eyes for a moment.
My housemate's mom just passed away earlier today.
It was unexpected. but then again, nobody can predict when they will die, even the sickly ones.
Though I have a few friends whom their parents just passed away, this one is different. Usually, I wasnt there when they received the news.
but today was different.
the girl was in the room next to mine.
I could hear her cries.
I could hear her wails.
It was heartbreaking.
and i can do nothing nor say anything.
nothing.
death
is inevitable
we all will die
sooner or later
there's nothing you can do to prevent it
no matter how "powerful" you are,
you will die.
you may tae all the suplements or the anti-ageing or whatever it is that may lasts you longer
but hey,
who says that you will only die when you are old?
you can be 12 years old and collapsed and die in a matter of seconds.
Only Allah knows.
death.
death.
death
disturbs me in so many ways:
1. the unpredictable nature of death itself is frightening. what if i'm gonna die soon? what if my family members will leave me soon? am i strong enough to face the challenge? will i be able to maintain my sanity? how will I die? am I able to say the syahadah before I die?
2.life in the hereafter scares me the most. are we ever prepared to meet The Creator?
3. how will you comfort a person who just lost her beloved ones? what is the right thing to say to her? what can you do to help her (if she needed to be helped). how will you face her? what tone should you use? what body language should you expressed?
argh. it was so frustrating. what ever that I have learned during counselling classes seemed so pointless today.
theories went down the drain. this is a real life situation. what can you actually do??
i was pretty upset with myself for being too afraid to face the housemate. i was so scared that i might hurt her even more (we were never close to begin with). so i avoided her. silly me. all i could do is to prepare the refreshments for the tahlil session as a gesture that I do care, but I could do nothing to comfort her.
May Allah rest her mom's soul in peace. Amin.

don't ever forget
Bukankah Dia (Allah) yang menciptakan langit dan bumi dan yang menurunkan air dari langit untukmu, lalu Kami tumbuhkan dengan air itu kebun-kebun yang berpandangan indah? Kamu tidak akan mampu menumbuhkan pohon-pohonnya. Apakah di samping Allah ada tuhan (yang lain)? Sebenarnya mereka adalah orang-orang yang menyimpang (dari kebenaran).
Bukankah Dia (Allah) yang telah menjadikan bumi sebagai tempat berdiam, yang menjadikan sungai-sungai di celah-celahnya, yang menjadikan gunung-gunung untuk (mengukuh)nya dan yang menjadikan suatu pemisah antara dua laut? Apakah di samping Allah ada tuhan (yang lain)? Sebenarnya kebanyakan mereka tidak mengetahui.
Bukankah Dia (Allah) yang memperkenankan (doa) orang yang dalam kesulitan apabila dia berdoa kepadaNya, dan menghilangkan kesusahan dan menjadikan kamu (manusia) sebagai khalifah (pemimpin) di bumi? Apakah di samping Allah ada tuhan (yang lain)? Sedikit sekali (nikmat Allah) yang kamu ingat.
Bukankah Dia (Allah) yang memberi petunjukkepada kamu dalam kegelapan di daratan dan lautan dan yang mendatangkan angin sebagai khabar gembira sebelum (kedatangan) rahmatNya? Apakah di samping Allah ada tuhan (yang lain)? Mahatinggi Allah terhadap apa yang mereka persekutukan.
Bukankah Dia (Allah) yang menciptakan (makhluk) dari permulaannya, kemudian mengulanginya (lagi) dan yang memberikan rezeki kepadamu dari langit dan bumi? Apakah di samping Allah ada tuhan (yang lain)? Katakanlah, "Kemukakanlah bukti kebenaranmu, jika kamu orang yang benar."
Katakanlah (Muhammad), "Tidak ada sesuatu pun di langit dan di bumi yang mengetahui perkara yang ghaib, kecuali Allah. Dan mereka tidak mengetahui kapan mereka akan dibangkitkan"
(An-Naml, 60-65)
