Perjalanan Hidup
Aku yang masih di perjalanan hidup ini
Begitu lama berlegar di persimpangan dunia
Menempuh jarak dan titian
Rimba dan lautan
Mencari sesuatu yang abadi
Aku yang masih di perhentian hidup ini
Begitu jauh menggembara ke serata hidup ini
Mengejar siang dan malam
Surut dan pasang
Mencari sesuatu kebebasan
Mencari sesuatu kedamaian
Di mana berakhirnya
Perjalananku ini
Esok dan lusa bukan miliku
Oh Tuhanku
Lindungilah hambamu yang hina ini
Aku setia hanya padamu
Oh Tuhanku
Ever since I heard this song, trainers' camp is all I can associate with this song. In fact I think it says a lot about what Trainers' camp is all about.
Life is a journey. As a Muslim, we know and firmly believe that this life on Earth is only temporary. There is a more confirmed and final life after death. Most of us are still finding our way in this world.
We never know when the journey will end but we are very sure it will end on day. Are we ready to face that day? Are we confident that when the day comes, we will be able to answer for our deeds. What have we done in this world to say confidently that we have done our jobs as Muslim?
"Mencari sesuatu kebebasan". Personally, I am looking for freedom but not freedom literally but a freedom of mind, a freedom from bad desires, a freedom from worldly problems. Only Allah can give me this freedom.
As most of you would already know, I will be facing the next phase of my life at the end of this month. The feeling is mixed, very mixed. But one thing I really hope and pray is that, dakwah work will continue to flourish during this next phase. I really fear that I will be overly concerned with life challenges during this phase, that I have no time or no opportunity to contribute and fulfil my duty as a Muslim.
To my other half, I really hope you would support me in this journey and together we can discover life that Allah have bestow upon us through this wonderful journey. Patience will be tested and sacrifices have to be made. May Allah gives us strength to face life challenges and may He protect our families from Hellfire.
