Yesterday, inside this moving car, i openly weeped. I felt like I wanted to cry since the moment I woke up, literally I want to cry, like I want to buy delicious food. I craved to cry.
Yesterday morning, i delivered my son to school as usual. I bought my usual coffee, drank it the usual way, took the usual bus to the train station, tap in as usual, hop on the car number 5 as usual, choose the seat as usual, everything just replaying like usual..
Until i hit my spotify, i typed "Al Baqarah" Out of the blue. Usually, I hit my #subtlepump playlist—playing Johji or Rich Brian. I still have no idea why i typed that.
And there it is, the sound of the Qur'an. It burst out into my ears and i cant helped my self, I cried. I openly weeping inside a moving car, watching sunrays seeps through the car's windows.
I followed the recites, I blew. I have no idea whats the meaning— i am happy to hear it but weirdly, I felt so inferior at the same time. I thought of how small I am, that i am almost nothing, covered with black and icky dust of my sins..
I felt like I'm longing for Allah forever.. I felt like powerless, desperate.. But in that bizzare moment I realized, actually Allah just gave me a gift.. In form of a longing heart
Ya Rabb, please let me longing for You everytime i could
I begged You to not leaving me Ya Rabb, I am nothing without you, you are everything I need, to you only I pray, to you only I feel safe, I feel welcomed, I believed and I trust
It is a pleasure I hope Allah will not take away from me. The intesity of my tears has made me shooked and began to understand that i was lost in this big universe.. And i felt so hopeless until a point of speechless.
I remember came home and by dzuhur time, I push my head so deep in my sujud, I cried again. Like a baby, I really felt like a child crying over things a kid did not understand to a mom, I moaned and cried helplessly.
I hope Allah fix me, fix my words and action, fix my ahlaq.. Fix my iman, fix the way I pray.. Fix me ya Rabb, fix every broken and every wrongs in me.. Please to never leave me, not even in for a blink of an eye
I wrote this post emotionally, but Alhamdulillah I am feeling better now. I hope whoever Reading this, God gives you strength to keep moving on and endures. Whatever you're facing, do not surrender to the sorrows and the pains.
