Analogi Dakwah

"Dah berikan buku2 kepada kawan non muslim, tapi nampaknya dia masih belum berminat bacanya.. kita doa2kan ye " saya menerima mesej daripada seorang sahabat, saya telahpun tolong poskan beberapa buku pengenalan kepada islam dan al Quran kepada kawannya yang non muslim.

Dakwah bukannya perkara mudah untuk dijalankan. Ia seumpama kita tanamkan benih di dalam tanah, menyiram air, letak baja, pastikan suhu sesuai dan tidak dipijak binatang.. Namun sekian lama menyiram air, mungkin benih akan tumbuh daun kecil dan akar, mungkin tidak.

Dalam hati semua orang mempunyai benih ini, ia dinamakan sebagai "fitrah". Adakah benih dalam hati ini tumbuh menjadi pokok yang tinggi dan berbuah ataupun terpendam begitu saja amat bergantung kepada rangsangan dari luar.

"I'm sorry, I can't betray my parents especially I'm their only son. I just can't make it no matter how I try.. let's just end this relationship."

Jim was telling this to Shila calmly, as if there's no big fuss about the situation. Just say good bye, turn around and never come back. Full stop.

"But you told me that you'll learn more about Islam and persuade your family? What's wrong.."
"There's nothing wrong, I'm very sorry and I have to go now.. I'll have a meeting later." Jim took his briefcase and leave. It's a tough decision to break a girl's heart but there's nothing else he could do.

You're The Master Of Your Soul

"Just remember this, I'm your father and I promise that I'll not force you to be a Muslim. "

His son was weeping, carrying a school bag and wearing school uniform. The day Daniel's parents getting divorced, he was only 8 years old.

"But why dad? Why would you separate from mom and insist to convert into Islam? Mom told you not to do so.."

"My son, listen carefully.. your mom against my will to embrace Islam together, we are getting separated for our own good. She choose to remain her stand, while I choose my way."

"Daniel! Get into the car! " his mom was yelling from the car while parked it beside school entry. She won Daniel's custody, the attendance of her ex husband was unexpected.

"One day you'll understand, my son. Just remember one thing, no one may refrain your soul from which way you head to. I am your father, and I'll be your father forever.. I can't force you to embrace Islam, you may follow your mother to church and continue your life. Just learn more about religions, seeking the meaning of life and be an independent boy.. Promise me. "

"One day you'll understand inshaAllah. You're the master of your soul. "
