"verily it is a sign for those who think"

Assalamualaikum wbt..

Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, I would like to ask all of you, this instance, to take this opportunity to thank Allah for His wonderful blessings to us which are Islam and Iman. Alhamdulillah wa syukrillah..

I had just finished watching a video about two muslim brothers who reverted to Islam after being in such a long journey, searching for the truth. I was shocked as I listened to them saying that they embraced Islam while they were in Houston, Texas. Texas...a place where non-muslims are the majority, where the word 'Islam' is like a word from Mars. People never heard of it before.

Living in a society where they had lost all kind of values really taken them aback and made them thinking about the meaning of life. Isn't it just the same situation that we (Malaysian) are living in? What really holds us back to certain values is that we still have the Malay tradition or the Eastern values. Some might say Islam..ok..accepted.. but do people really apply islam in daily life? Do people really take Islam as the main guide in what they do? Open your eyes and have a good look around you.

Back to those two brothers, they started searching for the truth when they realized that the situation they were living in was not what they wanted. Besides, they knew that life is precious. It couldn't be wasted just like that. They had came to that conclusion because they tried to think and they used their heart and soul when they were thinking. In the Quran , Allah always said, "verily it is a sign for those who think". For those who think and think and keep on thinking about their life. As you start to think, Allah will help to guide you to the right path..As long as you think..

Hurm, sister, you keep on saying think, think and think. Thinking of what?

Well, I assume that you have to think on what you have to think. Let me give one clue :
(As-syams: 7-10)

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect, (QS.91:7)
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it; (QS.91:8)
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا
He will indeed be successful who purifies it, (QS.91:9)
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسَّاهَا
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it. (QS.91:10)

"Verily, it is a sign for those who think"

Wallahualam..
