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]

Khauf (The Fear of The Mind)


"Yahooo!" Splash! "Yeaaah!" The adrenaline rushed made a great push towards a decision-making situation. Jake went to the edge, seeing the other two watching him, waiting for him to put all doubts aside & just let go. He took his time, thinking the possibilities whether he could make that jump & survive or just being the same boy he once before & not knowing what's the other side of the fence. "I'm yours. Aaaaaah!!" For that instance, he jumped from the 2 storeys high waterfall, with that last heartbeat, he made a choice. Splash! "You did it! Jake, come on, lets do it again" The place was amazing, the forest made the waterfall as a hidden treasure of its own, as if they were the first ones there. The water reflected the sunlight, which was dispersed & illuminated the fine details of the miracles of the forest. Jake just sat there, with his feet feeling the cold surface of the rocks & water from the mountains splashing to his skin, while the others enjoyed the brushing of the air in their attempt to make a dive into the deep waters of the waterfall. He thought a lot since the jump, which reminded him of the brave plan to explore & seek the witch's place of stay.

After filling their heads with rumors of the waterfall, one caught Karen's attention, the purity of its water that made any person who drank it had the power to conquer the world but with the condition that it's from the mouth of a compassionate lover. "Kyle, are you making stuff up? Because it sounded like a hoax to me", "Well, all I know is that the mighty king of Healspeak, King Denvour, took that drink, it's said that he was actually a small town black smith & was in love with a commoner, the star of his life". They took a quite long pause, trying to understand why did the king choose that path, a path that only great leaders would take. Would it be because of eternal love? Or maybe he wanted a change in the rules that were made by the people who assume power can control anything. "Who cares, the real problem now, are we going to check out the witch or not?".
"Well, tonight I still have time before I continue my journey. Let's do it!" shouted Jake with a strong vibe surrounding the atmosphere. The other two agreed we him & listed out the items needed for the trip, without considering there's more to it than meets the eye. The clouds were gathering, like there would be a storm coming their way. "We need to get home. It's getting dark", with the fear coming from her voice, Karen sensed something's not right. "Watch out! Behind you!"........
