Oh my.. I am not really prepared for this end. As always, today it was a striking halaqah we had. I hold myself to not get emotional but as I'm graduating I will be no longer with my halaqah, no more Friday COE? The idea itself is gloomy, what I know I don't want to lose my COE. Nevertheless, I want to sum up from our discussion we had today.
Peace be Upon on All! In the name of Allah, most merciful, most precious.

As a beginning we have recited Quran, as suggested
Al Hâqqah . It is such a stunning surah, touches our hearts. This surah may come to us a bit heavy, however, it is something we need. When we forget, we need something like this, harsh to hear, to be reminded basically.Overall, it mentions about all ummah has been sent until now, how they disobedient and how they were punished finally end up with a disaster sent by Allah (swt). It goes on by mentioning the role of us as a Muslim, the heaven and the hell fire for the outcome of our deeds and actions in this world. Here are the first three verses of the surah:
69:2 What is the Sure Reality?
69:3 And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
The Sure Reality the matter, afterwards the question; what is it? As I noticed the questions are getting tougher. Really, how can we realise what the Sure Reality is? What will make us realised? Do we need a disaster, still we are disobeying against Allah's merciful and blessings around us. What do we wait for? This Sure Reality is that no any nullify can be done. To make a hypothesis, for our own knowledge let's say we do a research, a lot of theory has to be qualified. But this Sure Reality is not something like hypothesis, it is Hakka. It is the inevitable, not open to any interpretation. Only truth, whatever it says will definitely happen we just do not know when. No such thing as theory can be made, no argument, no statistics has to be done. It is the Allah's word that we must obey.
Back to the question that we discussed last week, how can we see the implications of our Holy Book in our life? An ayah as I think is very suitable for the situation:
Fascinatingly, it gives such a huge effect to me individually and makes me think of my situation. Do I really feel the fear when Allah is mentioned and His verses are recited? Does it increase me in faith? My Lord, make me straightly walk in the way that you want me to walk.
An example given by our Dr. Z: Suratul Felak,
113:1 Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
113:5 "And from the evil of an envier when he envies"
69:3 And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?

"The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely" 8:2
Fascinatingly, it gives such a huge effect to me individually and makes me think of my situation. Do I really feel the fear when Allah is mentioned and His verses are recited? Does it increase me in faith? My Lord, make me straightly walk in the way that you want me to walk.

113:5 "And from the evil of an envier when he envies"
Envy is a very bad habit that we are not ought to do. We ask Allah's protection, and then how can we even practise envy? Our manifested believe can be seen if you are practising or else you are avoiding it. So, we do not only recite the ayah but also practice it, experience it, implicate in our life. That makes us know the position of us in this world and makes us comprehend we are useful indeed.
