great stars.

subhanallah. blood moon phenomenon last night. the eclipse was not easily observed here but it was much clearer in some parts of the states and east asia.

and  last night we had a sharing on a common surah that maybe many of us have always read in the solah. as for me after the sharing i got a new insight on the surah, al-buruuj.

By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs. By the promised Day (of Judgment). By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness. Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire). Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel. Behold! they sat over against the (fire). And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise! Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.

(QS Al-Buruuj 85:1-9)

previously, my understanding of those people who sit and watched the believers being burnt was just merely that. i just thought they were those that maybe involved in the violent act or at least being silent and did nothing to help. they were the people who will get the punishment from Allah.

but last night from a different point of view, my naqibah asked us to imagine what if the one that is burnt in the fire pit is our iman? are we just going to wait and see? it really stroked me because that is actually very possible to us wherever and whenever we are. have we really take care of our iman?

self-check again and again.

Allah is The Most Forgiving and The Most Merciful.
