Bismillah,
Eid Mubarak,
Felt cheerful to share. Might sound mundane, but still, I am enthusiast to type it all out...
So a book written by Dr.Aidh Al-qarni was one
of the best selling copies in the world when I was doing my degree. It was called La Tahzan. I was and is, still, one of
the forever fan of it. The book was thick, so don't ask about the price. But still, it was the best selling books for quite some time. Up to an extent, the publisher break it into a mini
thin numbered-encyclopedic version, to make it more affordable for every
‘sengkek student’ like me to own one.
I
would call it a master-heart-piece. Touching the sinners hearts with beautiful words. I
was quite obsess with the word ‘La Tahzan’ in those old days, and spent quite some time to look up in
the Quran to seek which verse consist of that particular word and manage to happily memorized it
until today. Sound silly, but it becomes my personal soul-treating verse that cures the sadness in
my heart. I bet it affect others whom read it in the Holy kitab as well.
It was Suratul Ali-Imran verse number 139
وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَSo do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.
I came across it again this morning, and
started writing as all the previous eight year’s memories flashes back. But this
time, I was pleased, even more with what I read.
You know, I often curious about where
‘Bayan Linnas’ words came out from, too. In which surah and verse. I am a non
Arabic speaker whom in love with some unique articulations of beautiful words in the
quran.
So I dig in the quran and web, to seek ‘Bayan
Linnas’ and it’s meaning .... just like what I did previously with ‘La Tahzan’(childish grown ups huh? lol).
I couldn’t find it, or I must have missed it out...
So
this morning, I came to notice that the verse that consist of ‘Bayan Linnas’ was
there right before ‘La Tahzan’. It was
Ali-Imran verse 138.
هَٰذَا بَيَانٌ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةٌ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
This [Qur'an] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allah .
What a cheerful, small, but precious
present....

| Note to self: We missed out small things, not because it is small.... It’s simply because we aren’t looking for it... |
