3 Cheers for sweet revenge

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. He is The Most Kind, The Most Passionate. He gave us blankets of clouds so that we can walk without getting flashed by the sun. He gave us time so that we can devote our time to Him and carry out His orders. He let us drive our cars /walk in peace without to worry about outside threats. We came into this world alone and will leave the world in the same state. We make the most of the day by doing good deeds to others and by avoiding what is sinful in the eyes of God. We only fear Him and there is nothing humans should be afraid of except Him.

May Allah save women and children everywhere from being mistreated and misguided.

Allah, He sees what one does and hears what one says. He knows the contents of our heart and He knows how one will end. There is nothing more upsetting than dying in a state of despair. Where one dies believing in slight or total disbelief. Every action that we do, every breath that we take and every food we intake can be our last and nobody knows when their time is up. Even if thousands of disbelievers we up to take one muslim, if its not for Allah's will, that one person will be saved and even if all the scientists gathered up to build a time-machine, they can never will, because time is in the hands of Allah. No-one is aligned with Him and no-one has a higher status than Him. It was mentioned in the Qur'an countless times that humans will be avenged according to their words and action and Allah, He does not mistreat His creations but they themselves causes the mistreatment. Allah, He controls the heavens and the earth knows what is best for us.

The Prophet (pbuh) was the best kind and nobody can even come close to his behavior / attitude. He was kind to everyone even though he was mistreated. He gave food to those who were in hunger even though he had no food left for himself. He would help his wife in the kitchen. He would not just sit and wait for his food to be cooked. After a long journey, the Prophet and his companions decided to rest and eat. So, everyone had something assigned to them such as hunt for an animal, find a suitable place to eat and so on except for the Prophet. He was not assigned to any kind of task and when asked to one of his companions, he said that you (the prophet) did not need to do anything because he is someone of high status. He did not like the comment because he felt like it was not fair for him to just sit and watch while everyone else was busy doing something. So, in the end, he decided to look for firewood in the forest. A great lesson to be learned by those who can think.

We can never escape the great qualities our beloved Prophet Muhammad had as this is the ONLY best example for us to follow and nothing will ever beat him. One day, Allah's apostle was taking a nap under a tree when suddenly a jew passed and saw this as an opportunity to kill the prophet. he then took his sword and aimed at the prophet. The jew then asked the prophet a question, "Who will save you now!!?", the prophet then answered calmly, "Allah..". Miraculously, the sword fell off the jew's hand. Prophet Muhammad then took the sword and did the same thing to the jew and asked him the same question, "Who will save you now?" asked the prophet. Hopelessly, the jew answered, "nobody..". The prophet could just easily killed the jew but he decided to release him as he was not a man to bring chaos but he was a man sent by Allah to bring peace. The jew then went back to his village and told everyone about the incident he had. After a while, everyone from that village came running to embrace Islam.

Allah puts a high status for those who forgives but has the power to avenge back. This is the sight you do not see anywhere anymore. Its all about getting the sweet revenge and trying to get even. Allah forgives all sins except polytheism (menduakan Allah). If only humans can just say forgive and forget. Sometimes, the things we say or do will leave a mark on the person's mind. It was mentioned by one of the great muslim scholars that take the bad as a writing on a sand and not a writing on a stone. When we see writings on a sand, it will fade when the wind blows and if it was written on a stone, it won't come off that easy. When we think we have found a good friend which is both almost perfect according to syariah law, we try not to let the small things grow big because if you do, it will eventually break loose.
