My first day at the surau

Selepas kekecohan we ran out of sahor materials (fridge penuh to resupply last Sunday) and making a quick run to buy ayam mas dua ekor, we went to the surau as one family.Vibes dia kurang this year.However, tazkirahnya masih kaw! :))) Tak kenal ustaz ni cos' we only go to the surau sebulan dlm setahun but even Z (yg hyper-critical..mengalahkan maknya) said: ustaz2 mcm nilah kita nak..very critical with different perspectives when analysing stuffs). I said kadang2 down to earth talk pun perlu juga..jenis yg humbling and less intellectual gitu.But I still liked his take on being cautious over reaffirming your faith via supernaturality or extraordinary events sebab nanti Dajal pun boleh buat semua tu dan ramai yg akan bersetuju dia Tuhan (masa tu ilmu agama pun dah kurang).Kebetulan I did an assignment on Rudyard Kipling's short story "The Man Who Would Be King" - mcm cerita dajal..dua melaun nak jadi raja di afghanistan...to impress depa buat sesuatu extraordinary sampai  suku kaum tu kagum dan mengaku Dravot tu Tuhan.Dravot ambik kesempatan dan nak kawin satu gadis di situ.Gadis tu takut bersuamikan tuhan..jadi di mlm pertama dia, dia gigit sampai berdarah suaminya.Dan rahsia lanun itu bocor..dia bkn tuhan sbb dia luka mcm manusia biasa.Apa lagi, dia dibunuh..kepalanya dipenggal.

Ustaz kata ramai yg mengaku2 tuhan atau rasul tu mcm tulah...atas dasar they can perform sesuatu luarbiasa so di dunia akhir zaman ni, kita jgn mudah percaya or easily mistake sihir as karamah.Kena kenal sifat Allah atau Rasul.Byklah lagi but I tak larat nak memperincikannya.

Disimpulkan cerita: tazkirah hari ni dapat markah penuh.Point of entry ustaz was masjid yg tak dimusnahkan tsunami di Acheh vs patung Jesus yg tak patah di Filipina.Kita tak leh bergantung kpd keajaiban fisikal to reaffirm our faith cos' anyone can do that now.

Bak kata Z.Kritis.
