The wayfarers

Bismillah.. First and foremost, apology for the late update of this blog. I've been busy back then at Malaysia. With only 10 days being in Malaysia, each moment must be spent wisely.

I certainly will miss things like durian porridge with bread, coconut rice (nasi lemak), currypuff, RM 2.50 lunch set (very cheap ma!! Kt sini mane nak dapat?), fried tempe with sambal cili, roti canai and all things that you could think of about Msia! =) Oke2, enough said. Let us start with the sharing, the knowledge that I've collected during my winter trip.

Let me start with this hadith about musafir. Before we start our winter trip, a few copies of this hadith were distributed to everyone . Click on the image for clearer view. It is the 40th hadis of Forty Hadith by Imam Nawawi.

Translation: On the authority of Ibnu Umar radhiallahu 'anhu, who said: The messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) took me by my shoulder and said, "Be in the world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer". The son of Umar used to say, "At the evening do not expect (to live till) morning, and at the morning do not expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your illness and from your life your death"

[related Bukhari]

This hadith told us to not feel settle down and comfortable in this temporary world. Let us filled this journey as a wayfarer with amar maaruf (practice good deeds) and nahi mungkar (forbid bad deeds) that will secure our place in Jannah insyAllah.. =)

Allow me to end this post with a nasyid theme for our winter trip, by Muadz - The wayfarers.

We are the wayfarers

We are the travelers

Wondering through the planet earth

And see how great the Creator is

We are the wayfarers

We are the travelers

Don't you ever think how strange it is

To treat everything as tough as it's ours

"كن في الدنيا كأنك غريب أو عا بر سبيل"

"Live in this world as though you're stranger or you are a wayfarer"

Look at the north look at the south

Look at the east and look at the west

People are suffering people are dying

The killing is never ending

How can we in the name of humanity

Allow our brothers and sisters to suffer

Too much power too much greed

Destroy our souls forever

The air that we breath the water we drink

Give us life or don't we ever think

So take good care of the things we have

Before it's too late too little left to survive

The plants and the forest give strength to the earth

Gives life and protection to the other creatures

The rivers the lake that bring sweet water

Let them flow

So fellow travelers lets do our bit

Let's keep mother earth a good place to live

Peaceful and clean beautiful and safe

A worthwhile inheritance for our kids

He shall be fine

Hands and hands together we stand

Put the differences and arrogance behind

With faith, trust and love we shall be fine
