You're lying!

I can't really remember when or where this conversation took place..

Anyway, here it goes~

     I had a conversation with a close friend of mine. We were chatting a whole lot of stuff about life, uni, and all sorts of things. Then, we reached to the part that he asked me a question, in which I think is quite simple to answer. Especially us, as a Muslim. He asked me..

     "What do you want most in life, akhi?"

    "Erm.. of course, I want to go to heaven! We have the same goal right?"

     He nodded and with a smile on his face, he said to me,

     "You're lying akhi. Not just you, but me too. We said we want heaven, we want to go to Jannah, but we're obviously lying."

     "What do you mean we're lying? Isn't that what we want?" Me asking him with a puzzled look on my face.

    "We're lying because we said we want Jannah, but we're not acting like it. We're doing sins like it's part of our life. Sink into the love of this Dunya, playing games and all other entertainment excessively, to the point that we bargained our sleep time at night. Just makes me think again, whether I'm saying it because I really want it, or just to make myself look pious?"


     I remained silent and felt like a strong slap just landed on my cheek, both side of it. It was too bitter to swallow when he called me a liar. But yeah, I did. Some of us did. I mean, do you really want it? Or you're just saying it to make yourself look good, or for whatever reasons it may be. If you want it, act accordingly!

     Let's keep moving forward now and be a better Muslim everyday. Not just BE a better Muslim, but call people into Islam, not just to the non-Muslim, but to the Muslim. That's the priority, cos they're our brothers and sisters of Aqidah-bonded.
