Playful People

I have decided that I need to go underground for a bit. So no more posts from me until... erm... after Eid I guess.

The idea is I want to get away from everything for a bit and see if I can soften my heart with the remembrance of Allah :)

You'd think it would be easy coz I'm only little but that's where you're wrong! I maybe little but I have a HUUUGGEE heart with lots of room for lots of people so it takes longer to soften up.

Please don't think I'm turning Secular and leaving the dawah and society worships. I still believe that studying, working, dawah, politics are just as much worship as salah, fasting, zakat and Hajj. I know that my beloved Prophet "PBUH" did nothing else but worship Allah but that included being a father, a husband and even a soldier (wow, you wouldn't think it with all this spiritual spiritual stuff going around).

I know all that - but I still want to find my corner and hide in it for a while away from everything and my justification is that my Prophet "PBUH" used to do it too in the last ten days of Ramadhan. So there :P

I think what has happened is that because some people have turned Islam into a ritualistic, individualistic religion where you just worry about perfecting yourself and only that, other people have just gone all out and decided that if you try to seclude yourself from society to better yourself than you're automatically Secular, or Sufi or some other silly label. Well, the difference with my decision is that it's only temporary and it's based on what our Messenger "PBUH" did. Once Ramadhan is over I'll come out of my ibadaa like a beautiful butterfly coming out of a caccoon inshAllah.

It's the only way I can properly repent for some of the stuff I did before I got some sense knocked into me. In case you miss me too much (and also so I don't feel like I've neglected the dawah) you can go read this post:

Enigma Behind the Freshers Stall

It's written by Babs-M who never ceases to amaze me with the clarity of his posts. Something that is usually missing from mine :(

Anyway, it's full of wholesome dawah goodness (erm... it's a bit x-rated as well so only read if you don't get easily offended). I'm not saying this style will work everytime but I truly believe good dawah is always about flexibility - I'm pretty flexible when it comes to Yoga but when it's dawah my tongue gets all twisty twisty.

Hopefully, I've wriggled myself into some of your hearts by now and if I have, all I ask is that you pray for me so I can sort myself out and that Allah helps me in that.

I'm off on my long journey now... Hugs and kisses for all o x o x o x
