Reminder

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “By Allah, I am not afraid that you will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed upon you as it was bestowed upon those who lived before you. So you will compete amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it did them." [Bukhari]

Da'wah (The Invitation Of Life)



            Just after the prayers of Subuh were done, King Said rode on his loyal horse & galloped through the corn fields & ruins of a great city until he arrived at a 80-year-old hall, with the huge chandelier still intact although some of the beautiful carvings on the wall had been damaged by the effects of the past battles. He walked around the emptied hall as if he just met an old friend that brought thousands of memories, the grand chairs & a long wooden table for the brothers to dine together, talking about the problems they faced in their past, news of the present, & dreams of the future. The start of a great friendship, a family of different worlds but connected in a bond between them & The One, Allah. "I knew you would come, great king of Healspeak, i thought i recognize you from somewhere, who would believe the noble one is right in front me. Well this is my opportunity, do you remember me? Do you remember this face before you take my father away, making your slave like the rest of them?", with a ferocious voice, he put out his sword & trying to threaten the calm king. He raise his right hand & firmly asked him to sit down with him in the historic hall, trying to make a smooth negotiation with a prince of an old kingdom, long before Said came with his new discovery.


              "I remember you, Prince Theodore, you we're a strong young man the day i went to see your father, he's a great leader, a great muslim & a great friend. For that, i'm happy you're in the pink of health, your father must be relieved", "Stop this nonsense, you took him from us, you filled his mind with rubbish about the after life, about god you don't see, about the balance in society between the strong & the weak, you took the only light i had, which was my father, now you're gonna pay", he jumped over the table, charging with all his will, like a tiger catching his prey. Said avoided his attack. Wooosh! It almost hit his head, but that swing of the prince sharp sword accidentally hit a lantern which sparked a small fire. "Die you muslim, die for the sake of my father, you truth twister", Said block his attacks with some chairs which were made as temporary shields, no intention to fight back., thinking the best way to disarm the weapon from the skilled hands of a great swordsman.


            He eventually managed to make the opponent fell on his back, then, he came to Prince Theodore, "Do you know why your father hug me & left you? He heard the message from the Quran, & said that he wanted to bring you along but his advisers stormed him out of the castle, saying he betrayed the kingdom, until now he still waiting for you, to go to him, while reading the Quran, especially the story that made him realize of his duty as a khalifah in this land, surah al-Fatihah", then he took out an old book with some old language written on it,showing it to the prince the opening of the book,, his father's favorite. Tears dropped from his reddish eyes, reading while understanding what did his father sees in this believe, "I want to see my father, i want to hold him. Please, take me to him", the fire made the scene  more intense then it already was, with the debris from the ceiling, the hall would collapse any second, then, Duuuuk!  Duuuuuk! Broukh! The door broke down, ..........
