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]

Haq (The Truth Of War)



        With the cool breezy wind blowing through the campsite of tiring soldiers, the rebels rest their bodies after giving out their most in the battle against their own fear, fear of loosing their believes to something they never heard of, something out of the ordinary. A man with a hood covering the sight of others from his face, walked swiftly from tent to tent, opening both ears wide, one to scout for information, the other making contact with nearby noise that may alarmed any disturbance or suspicious acts. With quick reactions, he passed by a few guards that were patrolling without any hesitation, he was like a sly night crawler. "When they started their uproar of a new discovery, they made us look like imbeciles with our old & uncivilized traditions, that's what they say about us, we must not hold back on them", the voice of a furious commander alarmed the audience of a well-guarded tent. "But what i got from my people who accepted their believes are positive responses, they say its a perfect combination of physical, mental, & spiritual judgement of life. They are moving to Kensay, seeking the protection of the Muslims, what should we do? This battle is going nowhere", with that statement, the leaders that brought loyal soldiers to bloodshed, in deep confusion with their lives to consider. 


       With that information, the spy revealed himself to the arch enemies, with knowing that he's like a meat in a lion's den. The guards surrounded him with haste, but he just kept his calm, & let his sword, which made of hard iron steel with a shape of a moon's crest, down to the ground as a sign of unarmed & ready to negotiate. "Salam, i can't help myself over heard your conversation, so i let myself in to help you. 1st of all, what do you know about my religion, my faith? 2nd, do you think i came here without the protection of my brothers? Lastly, what are you aiming by winning this misunderstanding?", with the smooth & soft tone of voice, they all sat with him & agreed to talk things over. At that moment, they knew that this man is no ordinary soldier. 


           "My religion that you called a nuisance is a beautiful gift from Allah, The One. It sees is greatness when you all see is inconvenience, it sees is humbleness when you all see is power,  it sees sharing & giving when you all see is wealth & greed, you all see is a statement, it sees the truth. My brothers are all over, you have nowhere to escape, they are just waiting for my signal, if you think you can make me hostage, i would rather die than to make them surrender. Lastly, if you win this, Allah we'll still be there, Islam we'll still be there, so we'll will be waiting for you, maybe not here & not now, but our brothers will come, for they are coming with not revenge, but retribution, but if we win this, then all we asked for is your forgiveness & open your heart to Allah, where you'll return to. Salam". Afterwards, the man just stood & left the scene with a smile on his face. "Stop! We will think about this, & i, myself will go & see you at daybreak, in the hall of Kensay. Before you go, i want to know, who are you, Muslim?, "I'm Said, a servant of the al-Mighty, Allah, leader of my people, brother of my brothers", he left...........
