[AmeeR SyuhadA] –sEvmEk la RouGe–

Ahlan! We have waited you for 9 months with supreme eagerness. Thus, i as your father together with your beloved ummu, named you;

Ibrahim Zul E’zaz.

Insya Allah, i will be held responsible to give you the best education and upbringing.

I have fulfill 2 of your rights as mentioned by Umar ibn al-Khattab; i have chosen for you the best name, and i have chosen for you the best mother. I try to fulfill to educate you with al-Quran as it is your third rights.

Ibrahim,

I named you Ibrahim, because of my love to the Khalilullah Ibrahim a.s. I have memorized partial of Surah Ibrahim, and i have pondered upon the meaning of the surah. I am truly attached to it, learn great lesson from it, and my heart always tremble when reciting it.

Ibrahim is such an example of purity, high dignity, al-haniff, bravery and great servant and prophet of Allah swt.

I hope you understand what this name meant to you, o Ibrahim.

Ibrahim is the name of your great grandfather (your grandmother’s father), which i adore so much. And it is my appreciation to your grandmother for her wonderful sacrifice and patience for raising me to this level i know.

Zul E’zaz.

This is the legacy of your father. I did not have a thought about it, but your ummi insisted. I am not the best person, or in any way to be called great, but i want you to know that you should have the izzah inside you. E’zaz is the honour, the highness, which i hope it will be instilled in you. Verily to be honoured, you first must honour and respect Allah swt. Because that is the only way you will be honoured. Anything else than that is not counted.

O Allah, i pray upon you, to bless us with Your greatest blessings. Make us your great servant. O Allah, please correct us when we wronged You, and show us  Your way.

O Allah, please make us the leader of Muttaqin, the flaq bearers of al-Islam, and the syuhada in Your ranks.

O Allah, please save us from Your hell fire, and grant us Your Jannatul Firdausatul Ula…

Nay, it is not the typical firqah talk.

Nay, it is not the rhetorical lovable issue-making controversies.

Nay, it is not about splitting ukhuwwah.

Nay, it is not about i am superior over you.

But yes, it is about Allah’s blessing that i see other side of it, while you see the others.

Yes, it is about i am doing one of the pillars, while you maybe perfecting the foundations and concrete.

Yes, it is about the nice, gigantic yet fabulous palace that we are building currently.

Yes, it is about understanding that we are only contractors to Allah. And we will be rewarded by HIM based on the work that we do.

So, if you or me, while doing our task and still have time to throw sand to each other’s faces, i think we have problem because the Guardian, Lord of the World is watching every single thing that we do.

So, if you are claiming all the unnecessary claims while bombarding others with fitna, you just slow down the work progress! After all, we want this palace to be completed and we can live happily in it.

So, are we doing enough to critise others?

Long enough to leave this blog empty and unvoiced. I dont want to scribe reasons here, because everytime you train yourself to give excuses and reason, it will be automatic then.

I am not busy. They have 24 hours, and so do i.  I will never say that i did much enough and be complacent of not doing other things that i am supposed to.

I am not incapable. I am not incompetent.
