Near Heaven, Seen Heaven

 

Near Heaven, Seen Heaven

True heaven is in the afterlife, but mankind is given the opportunity by God to taste the air without having to die first, because there is such a thing as heaven on earth. Heaven is heaven near. Heaven in sight. And heaven is in your house.

Happiness, serenity, is one of the heavenly elements. Happiness does not require having many wives. Happiness can be obtained happily with one wife. Serene does not also require that many women be crazy. We can get peace by being loyal to one heart. Just sitting alone with you, or letting my heart speak to your heart alone, can bring peace.

Without dying first, we can enjoy heaven. Allah is Expansive. We cannot limit God, for example, only able to create heaven in the afterlife. Allah is Most Gracious. Able to provide heaven on earth for every peaceful heart. Yes. There is always heaven in our homes.

Heaven near, heaven in sight, is a family. Because, in addition to happiness and serenity, beauty is also another heavenly element. A wife is a creature that is both beautiful and terrible. A wife is like a poem without words. Beautiful... But, if we want to ask the dewdrops in the morning, women are far more powerful than men. The strength of a wife lies in her heart and her prayers.

Muhammadun basyarun laa kal basyari bal huwa kal yaaquut bainal hajari. Muhammad was a normal human being like any other human being, but he was not just any human being. Muhammad compared to other humans is like a gem among pebbles.

The blue blooded at that time was not only Muhammad. The handsome face at that time was not only Muhammad. The rich merchant at that time was not only Muhammad. The famous clever at that time was not only the Prophet Muhammad. But the only one who has a character as bright as a flawless gemstone of all time is Muhammad.

There was a great scholar who explained that Muhammad bin Abdullah was a major scholar who graduated cum laude as a human being, therefore he was entrusted with the Qur'an.

If he wears worldly glasses, the Prophet Muhammad is already a superior human being, in lineage, in property, and so on, but there are still a few people who are like him. It's just that, when the moral factor is used as a benchmark for comparison, then the Prophet Muhammad is immediately like a gemstone in the expanse of the "ocean" of pebbles.

Yes. Morals are very, very important. Morals are what determine a person's value the most. Therefore, we should not only uphold our worship, but destroy our morals. Especially until we become a worship expert who inherits the devil's arrogance. Diligent worship is the sunnah of the prophet, but having a noble character is also the sunnah of the prophet.

It is indeed very difficult to expel the devil's arrogance in the heart. I once came home from recitation, when on the way home, I encountered a scene full of disobedience, between a nice car and a minimal outfit. It is very difficult for me to control my heart so that it is not like the devil. Disrespect others, consider yourself noble, and the like.

Moreover, our friends at school, our co-workers at the office, our family at home only need to prove the results of our worship, namely improving our morals. People don't need to know whether we pray diligently or not, our society needs to know the evidence of our prayers. The poor need our help. Children and wives need our tenderness.

Is it right? Allahumma shalli 'ala Sayyidina Muhammad.

The nobility of morality is more original in showing identity than the craft of worship. We may have come across the story of a "religious man" but likes to be rude to his wife. Actually the story is not strange, because the craft of worship can be just "skin", so we don't like to label other people from the naked eye. In the past, the Devil disguised himself as an angel of heaven to deceive Kanjeng Prophet Adam.

We cannot say that diligent worship is wrong. We just shouldn't be careless in labeling someone a Muslim or an infidel. The most obvious sign of a diligent person in worship is having noble character. Because, people who pray hollowly can have good morals, especially those who pray diligently. That's the basic logic.

If a little can be good, then how much more. If those with holes can be gentle with their wives, then what about those who are very diligent. So, if there are "religious people" but have bad morals, if we can be surprised that there is a husband who diligently prays to the mosque but his wife often sheds tears, it means that we are inexperienced in seeing life. Too visible. Too innocently linear.

A pious person must be diligent in worship and his morals are commendable like the Great Prophet Muhammad, whom we all admire. Absolute it. One level below it are people who are not diligent in their worship but have commendable character. In my opinion, for example, there is a husband who rarely prays obligatory but has a good heart and loves his wife, that is a sign that he is still loved by Allah. He was just still in the phase of walking towards Him. He is a Muslim in the process.

The bad ones, which destroy civilization, are people who always pretend to worship Him.

The Prophet Muhammad, Sayyidina Abu Bakr Ash-Siddiq, and Sayyidina Umar Al-Faruq were all brave men, but the three of them were very loving to their children and wives. Lucky, lucky, lucky, women who have and are owned by a husband who wants to emulate the three of him.

And, when we are willing to hold on to a promise, loyal to a heart, then we will be able to activate the heavens that are near, the activation of the heavens that are seen.
