Purpose of Life and... MARDHATILLAH

Random: 6 more posts and I'd reach the same number of posts I had for my old blog. Does that mean I should start a new blog? Or at least have a new blogskin? Hmm... I dunno... Currently, my priority is school... My old blog lasted Oct 03 to Jul 05 whereas this current blog has lasted since then on (with a break from Jul 05 to Dec 05 due to preparations and sitting for O levels).
Anyway, I'm loving going to madrasah 'cause... You not only learn from books, but you also learn other things (daawah based) which strengthens your iman and make you better muslims. But it's not like they're totally unrelated to our course of study, they are.
Last week, Ust Aishah told us about syurga and neraka. About how people in syurga can look down to see people in neraka and people in neraka can look up to see people in syurga. And inside syurga itself, there's 7 levels, the highest being for para Nabi/Rasul. Then different levels have different types of houses: castles, villas, cottages. People will live in these depending on their amalan. Some won't even get any house, but they's still feel happy anyway. Cause everyone in syurga is happy, always feeling full and satisfied. People from higher levels of syurga can go to the lower levels to meet their family and friends and all. Hmm... The way she explained this was so cute that it was funny haha.
Last week too, Ust Saifuddin did somekind of test on our Islamic general knowledge in terms of Sirah and Ibadah. Kinda oklah..
This morning, Ust Aishah touched on Aqidah. What is the purpose of life? What is your answer? To enjoy? To pray? To 'invest'? Life is what is in between our creation, our beginning and our end. We begin with Allah s.w.t. and we end with Allah s.w.t. also. Innalillahi wa innalillahi rajiuun... From Allah we came, to Allah we return. Life is a journey (perjuangan) to test and challenge us to determine whether we'd go to syurga or neraka. Imagine being created and put into syurga/neraka straight away... Not a really fair judgement right? Allah is Most Fair. We get what we deserve.
BUT, as I heard once, even a baby who berzikir since birth till death won't get into syurga. You must be thinking, "Like this, it's impossible for us to go syurga lah!" Hmm... Remember Allah is not cruel. The thing is, whether or not you go to syurga or neraka depends on Allah's rahmah or mercy for you and on mardhatillah or Allah's acceptance (keredhaan) of you. And mardhatillah is what we really wanna achieve. So... work towards mardhatillah with the end (syurga) in mind. Think and act. Act with your heart and mind. Always remember Allah, it'll show through your words and actions.
Berusaha, berdoa dan bertawakkallah kamu... Impikan mardhatillah lalu capailah untuknya. Insyallah Allah akan memberi petunjuk dan membimbing kami.
