قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ (12:86)

Soredemo Chikyuu wa Mawatteiru
Nov. 8th, 2010 11:40 pmYet the Earth still spins.
There are no words to describe it. Everything felt like a dream. Even the aftermath felt surreal. But the physical pain and emotional uneasiness are anything but fake.
It was blurry - a blur of gray ("smoke, dear God, there's smoke coming out..."), red ("...wait, I'm bleeding...") and white ("So that's how my airbags look like..."). And the fact that my companions were apparently well (and they still are, thank God!), and that I was still able to collect my senses. And then there were people...lots of people...and there was a swirl of emotions - all sorts of them, one after another and at other times, all at the same time - that seem to congest my chest...
What could have been, what should have been - they can be sensitive business.
But yeah, at the end of the day, what God has decreed will eventually happen, despite what measure we've taken to prevent it. Why? Only He Knows.
And only He will repay those who has helped to ease our hardships yesterday. God Bless.
Heartfelt gratitude to those who texted me with your wishes and concern. Apologies for giving people something extra to worry about.
Thank God that things didn't get any worse.
...Well, whaddaya know...There's still some optimism in me after all. Hmm.

In Which Knowing Alone isn't Enough
Oct. 11th, 2010 01:42 am(فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ (9:129
9:129 (Asad) But if those [who are bent on denying the truth] turn away, say: "God is enough for me! There is no- deity save Him. In Him have I placed my trust, for He is the Sustainer, in awesome almightiness enthroned."
They say knowledge is power. Faith is perhaps even moreso.
So why is it so hard to believe in what one knows is the truth, the only way to salvation?
