Yesterday, my big brother asked my hand to translate the following statement in Indonesia:
“Yes, those tears. Those somewhat scary male tears.
Power of crying. Nothing’s wrong with crying.”
He said that he took those from the book of business. So, at first I thought that it was related to the fighting of doing business in which it needs hard work that sometimes can drive our tears in reaching the success because of the hindrances . Then now, I get another interpretation about that.
I believe that all people in the whole world certainly have ever cried ( Well, we certainly had ever cried when we was just a little baby, hadn’t we? ). However, everyone has different reasons about why they cry. Maybe someone cries because one gets disease, or breaks with one’s lover, or fails in reaching something, and soon. How so sad! Perhaps someone cries because one get a beautiful surprise, or proposed by one’s couple, or succeeds in making one’s dream, and soon. What a happy moment!
Anyway, the most wonderful reason of crying is when we give our tears for our Great Lord, Allah ~ The one and only. It doesn’t matter whether it is because of fear of Him or love Him very much.
Whosoever is fear to Allah shows that they admit themselves as the weak mankind. They believe that Allah has created and arranged the universe by himself. Noone has the great power, but Him. You no need to be sad when you are fear to Allah. You should be happy because it will keep you not to leave His path. Don’t you know that Allah has prepared His Jannah for such people who fear to Him?
Q.S. Al – Bayyinah : 8
“ Their reward is with God: Garden of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein forever; God will pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and cherisher."
If you include to people who love Allah very much, you have to believe that Allah will love you. Loving Allah will drive you to always do what He commands and leave what He prohibits. When you cry because you miss to meet Him soon, you have to know that your tear is not useless. It will bring you to come to His heaven instead.
"Demi masa. Sesungguhnya manusia berada dalam kerugian. Kecuali orang-orang yang saling menasehati dalam kebenaran. Dan orang-orang yang saling menasehati dalam kesabaran."(Q.S.Al-Ashr:1-4)

The True Meaning Of Love ~ An Ukhti Ve’s Opinion ~
A lot of people are still wrong in interpreting the meaning of love. Most of them think the same that love is a romantic and/or sexual relationship between two people. For example, our romantic feeling for our pairs of love. As the result, we just stay focus to express our love for someone with different gender that we like very much. However, love isn’t that simple. It is more universal. It is a strong feeling of deep affection for someone or something. So, it is not only for our girlfriend or boyfriend, but also for our God, family, friends, even for our favourite stuffs.
For moslem especially, love is the pure feeling comes from Ar-Rahiimur-Ra’uuf, the one and only Lord we thank for, ALLAH. He is the owner of love. He gives thy love for every creature he wants to. We have to believe that our love are His and the highest love we ever get are from Him. As the matter of fact, not all His creatures will get His best love. For example, alladzina kafaru min ahlil kitabi wal musrikin ~ everyone who doesn’t believe in Him and gives lie to His path, they will not get any His love. So, how can we get it?
In a hadist qudsi, Allah says,”It is My duty to send My love for someone who gains friends and loves each other because of Me.” Indirectly, the hadist indicates that if we want to get His love, we have to do everything and love someone and/or something because of Allah. Gaining friends because of Allah, looking for knowledge because of Allah, working because of Allah, doing household because of Allah, eating and drinking because of Allah, praying because of Allah…loving our parent, brother and sister, family, friends, teachers, neighbours, people, even loving things in the world, such as animals, plants, mountain, seas, sky, just because of Allah, Al-Khaaliq ~ The Creator.
Unfortuntely, at this time, people such like leaving their belief and choosing to interpret love with its narrow meaning. They think that love of their couple is the most important thing to get. As the result, they are ready to do everything of what their pairs want, even it is prohibited by their belief. Don’t they realize that it is just a passion, not love? Don’t they see that there are a lot of love couples are broken because they hold that naïve love? And if we may listen to our deep heart, we will know that the love of our beloved God is the answer. It is unlimited. It is immortal. He always pours His precious love in every second of His creature’s life he wants to. They are alladzina amanu wa amilush-sholihat ~ everyone who believes in Him and always prays for Him. Besides, in most verses in Holy Qoran are also explained that whosoever can get His love, then they can come to His Jannah easily in the life after. So, such kind of love that we have to reach, guys! The true love for always, not the passion for a moment.
