Jihad of the Hati

Santapan rohani: Main Course
Inspiration from a video of a man carrying a child on his back as human shield

Imagine a house
Full of laughter
Beams with happiness
Cherished with love

Imagine a courtyard
Children run freely
Small feet on emerald grass
Across lush heavenly garden
Their fingers reaching out
The vast great blue sky

Imagine a verandah
Husband and wife
Sons and daughters
Sisters and brothers
Cousins and relatives
Neighbors and friends
Hands in hands
Smiling as the sun sets

Imagine the retching pain
To defend and fight for
The house or family
The land or the children
The future or the present

Imagine a house
Silent with death
Echo cries of haunted souls
The eyes of the children
Filled with eternal sorrow
Will they still remember the color of the great sky?
Do they still recall the fragrant soil lush with greens?

Imagine being homeless
Without roof as shelter
Without walls as barrier
Without boundaries as border

Imagine sharing a beloved house
For the sake children’s’ smiles
For the sake of living
For the trust in Him
For an unknown future

Let go of your pride brothers
It is hard
It is painful
Believe in His mighty plan
The land is not yours
Mighty nations had rose and fell
He gives and He takes
None is permanent
None is ever ours
To eternity we will return

This is the hardest Jihad
The essence of Jihad fi sabilillah…
Starts from the hati
