Weird how a stranger could give some meaning and way to look
at your problems without you even realize it.
It was last Friday morning and I was ready getting ready
for work. Then this one beautiful song was on air. It was Arabic and I couldn’t
figure out the meaning when I started listening to it. I glanced through and
its lyrics captured my heart right there and then. All the heavy burdens I was
carrying for the whole week was gone vanished in a split of second. And my
tears started rolling down my cheeks like waterfall.
Law Kana Bainana al-habeeb : if the beloved (Muhammad SAW)
were among us.
Subhanallah. It is such a beautiful song.
I started to think how he would be saying if he knew my
problem that burdens me was. I was very ashamed for the thought of it because
that was not really a problem at all. Let me put this way. If I were to let go
of that thing as of now, I won’t go for Jahannam for it. That problem was not
part of my responsibilities at all. True, my heart is still aching every now
and then due to it and this is a phase I have to endure. That too, shall pass.
insyaAllah.
So friends, let’s prioritize our responsibilities and amanahs.

Below is the translated lyrics:
Kalaulah Kekasih-Mu, masih berada bersama-sama kami,
Akan terlunaslah segala hutang dan semakin hampirlah
dengan haruman Baginda, sebelum hilangnya,
rasa yang meronta-ronta untuk berada hampir dengan Kekasih-Mu.
Berada berhampiran Baginda, jiwa turut menjadi harum
Dan apa jua yang kalian doakan kepada Allah, akan diperkenankan,
Cahaya Nabi Muhammad tidak akan pernah sirna,
Sempatkanlah kami bertemu dengan Baginda,
Wahai Tuhan yang Maha Memperkenankan doa hamba...
Hidayahmu kepada alam merata meluas,
Tanda hampirnya kasih sayang Tuhan pemberi hidayah,
Hadith-hadithmu ibarat sungai mengalir jernih,
Berada di sisimu bagaikan dahan yang tumbuh segar dan basah.
Kutebus diriku dengan dirimu, wahai Kekasihku,
Nabi Muhammad yang mulia, yang asing,
Berada berhampiranmu, jiwa menjadi harum,
Wahai yang diutuskan sebagai tanda kasih sayang Tuhan kepada seluruh alam....
Wahai Kekasihku, wahai Nabi Muhammad
Wahai doktor hatiku, wahai yang dipuji dipuja
Dirimu memiliki kelebihan yang diakui
Oleh Tuhan yang turut berselawat ke atasmu.
