Friday's Lesson

Last Friday I did shalat Jumát at Wyata Guna (a base for blind). There was something interesting on sermon (khutbah) that was given there. Generally, khatib meant that everything happen in the world always have points, no matter how terrible they are in human paradigm. Blindness is not deformity. If you said it is, so you judge God’s careless. Then for normal people, there’s nothing to be conceited, since everything can be yang out immediately by His sanction. All you have to do is have some faith to find every hikmah of everything and be grateful.

Took a pray with the blinds was a great experience. I saw how they were so engrossed in pray. Within darkness covers their world I could see how sincere they are with their condition, and even they looked happy. I acknowledged them.

Show us the straight way,
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray. [Al-Fathiha: 6-7]
