Fairy Tale: Stardust

At the end of the story.. (Film: Stardust)

“They rule for 80 years. But no man can live forever, except he who possesses the heart of a star. And Yvaine had given hers to Tristan completely. When their children and grandchildren were grown, it was time to light the Babylon candle… And they still live happily ever after.”

At the end of the story (Islamic version)

“They rule for 80 years. But no man can live forever, except he who died martyr for Islam. And Yvaine had given hers to Allah completely on the death of Tristan. When their children and grandchildren were grown, it was time for Yvaine to end her life… And they still live happily ever after in Jannah.”

Owh, i’m in love with this story. It’s just one fairy tale for a bed time story. Yet, they give much of hopes, to end things in a manner way, happily ever after.. Its very touching..

Allah has given us hopes as much as the story gives hopes to the reader. Not as much, but far more than one’s can imagine..

“Say: O `Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”. (39:53)

“And never do We requit in such a way except those who are ungrateful (disbelievers)”. (34:17)

‘(Say:) `Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will be for him who denies (believes not in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Messengers), and turns away (from the truth and obedience of Allah)”. (20:48)

“And My Mercy embraces all things”. (7:156)

“Apabila kamu bertemu dengan orang-orang kafir (di medan perang) maka pancunglah batang leher mereka. Sehingga apabila kamu telah mengalahkan mereka maka tawanlah mereka dan sesudah itu kamu boleh membebaskan mereka atau menerima tebusan sampai perang berakhir. Demikianlah apabila Allah menghendaki niscaya Allah akan membinasakan mereka tetapi Allah hendak menguji sebahagian kamu dengan sebahagian yang lain. Dan orang-orang yang syahid pada jalan Allah, Allah tidak akan menyia-nyiakan amal mereka. Allah akan memberi pimpinan kepada mereka dan memperbaiki keadaan mereka, dan memasukkan mereka ke dalam jannah yang telah diperkenankanNya kepada mereka. Hai orang-orang mukmin, jika kamu menolong (agama) Allah, niscaya Dia akan menolongmu dan meneguhkan kedudukanmu.” (47:4-7)

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Allah, the Almighty, says: `Whosoever does a good deed, will have (reward) ten times like it and I add more; and whosoever does an evil, will have the punishment like it or I will forgive (him); and whosoever approaches Me by one span, I will approach him by one cubit; and whosoever approaches Me by one cubit, I approach him by one fathom, and whosoever comes to Me walking, I go to him running; and whosoever meets Me with an earth-load of sins without associating anything with Me, I meet him with forgiveness like that”.

Dear me, don’t be sad when your application is turned down. Huhu, deep inside me, i felt so sad. Don’t turn away your hopes towards Him, one day He will answer it. Not now.. Not now.. A little bit of patient..

********************

Siapa yang tak risau, siapa tak gusar.. A lot of things will come,.. There will be lot of probs we have to face. Yet, none will know the future is..

Puts hope in Allah.. Puts effort in everything.. But please, don’t be alone. Have faith and trust, to whom they may be.. Some really care, of one’s worry.. Let’s make things easier.. But still, not losing a single hopes, towards Allah.

Manusia tetap lemah, manusia tetap kerdil. Tiada kepastian didepan, hanya realiti dibelakang. Cakaplah macamana pun, tetap tiada kepastian. Tetapi hanya yang ada, harapan dan usaha..

In primary school, I have to take part performing a song.. This was the small part that I played:

When i was just a litle boy,

I ask my mother, what will I be?

I might be handsome, I might be a soldier,

This is what she said to me…

Hey shera, shera,

What ever will be, will be,

the future not I to see,

Hey shera, shera,

What will be, will be..
