matahati [jangan] mati

dunia tempat tinggal luas terhampar

di sana pesona dan fatamorgana dikejar

para pelengah terlena dalam tidur

seolah keabadian telah mereka atur

hingga petaka datang menyambar

pemaklumatan waktu segera mengantar

ke alam kubur menyambut umur

lalu tiada lagi bekas, semua hancur.

sejenak tafakkur

Aku [Allah] heran terhadap orang yang yakin akan datangnya maut, tetapi mengapa ia masih sombong membanggakan diri?

Aku heran terhadap orang yang yakin dengan hari perhitungan [hisab], tetapi mengapa ia masih sibuk menimbun harta-benda?

Aku heran terhadap orang yang yakin akan masuk pintu kubur, tetapi mengapa ia masih tertawa terbahak-bahak?

Aku heran terhadap orang yang yakin terhadap hari akhirat, tetapi mengapa ia masih bersenang-senang, lalai tidak beramal?

Aku heran terhadap orang yang yakin akan lenyapnya dunia ini, tetapi mengapa ia masih menambatkan hati kepadanya?

Aku heran terhadap orang 'alim yang pintar bicara, tetapi bodoh dalam paham pengertian.

Aku heran terhadap orang yang sibuk menyelidiki aib orang lain, tetapi lupa cacat cela diri sendiri.

Aku heran terhadap orang yang tahu bahwa Allah memperhatikan tingkah-lakunya, tetapi mengapa ia masih durhaka kepada Allah?

Aku heran terhadap orang yang mengerti bahwa ia akan mati sendirian dan masuk kubur sendirian, tetapi mengapa ia masih asyik bersenda-gurau dengan orang banyak?

Tidak ada Tuhan yang patut disembah melainkan Allah, Muhammad itu benar-benar hamba-Ku dan Rasul-Ku.

[Kitab Sirrus Shaalihin: Hadist Qudsi]

who am i?

how did i come into existence?

who has created me, who has created this perfect body of mine?

who has created this great order which surrounds me?

what does He, who created everything, want from me?

what does He want to show me?


and these are the Quranic answers:

Has man ever known a point of time when he was not something remembered? Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
[QS al-Insan 1-2]

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)? Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? Then did he become a leech-like clot; which He created and shaped, making from it both sexes, male and female?
[QS al-Qiyamah 36-39]

O man! What has deluded you in respect of your Noble Lord? He Who created you and formed you and proportioned you and assembled you in whatever way He willed.
[QS al-Infitar 6-8]

the human is a being created by Allah and as a created entity, he cannot change this fact. he cannot bring any other explanation to his own existence. since he has been created, he would not be left uncontrolled and irresponsible as emphasized in the above verses. there is, of course, a purpose for creation. where then will he find the answer?

there is only one answer to this question and that is in the book that Allah has sent down to him.

Dan apa saja yang diberikan kepada kamu, maka itu adalah kenikmatan hidup duniawi dan perhiasannya; sedang apa yang di sisi Allah adalah lebih baik dan lebih kekal. Maka apakah kamu tidak memahaminya?
[QS al-Qashash 60]

pergilah, aku pun akan menyusul...

mata terpaku menatap whiteboard tepat di depan mejaku: ada tiga berita duka-cita. siapa tahu, mungkin besok atau lusa, ganti namaku yang tercantum di sana...

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.
kita semua milik-Nya: dari-Nya kita berasal, dan kepada-Nya kita kembali.
