Self-reflection: 3 things Allah wants to tell us through Covid-19
It has been a while since I last write something on this wall. It's April and the world has been down with Covid-19 since around February. Lots of cases and deaths all around the globe, and it's really overwhelming. Schools, offices and businesses have to be closed down temporarily and we have been home for more than 2 weeks now. So, I would like to list down some reflection upon this situation in whole. 1) Firstly, I see this pandemic as a question of 'have you been thinking of Me lately?' from our Lord. Well, this virus is sent by our Creator, perhaps to knock on our door a little bit harder than usual. Perhaps, His intention is for us to think about Him as He expected us to do. Sometimes, we're just too caught up with life, with work, with commitment, we tend not to allocate appropriate time for our Lord. Let's take solat as an example. We do it daily, but we rarely spend time to think deeply on the meaning and every action in our prayers.
