The Blue Sky Is Blue Like Blue Bubblegum :)

 "He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (God) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?"(67:3)

I was oblivious to the fact in the above verse until a day, where my friend pointed it out to me when we were taking a stroll somewhere in INTI. Really, the moment I looked at the sky.... I was utterly impressed(and almost dumbfounded) by ALLAH's words.

It is true; when you look at the sky, can you find any flaw at all? From the rolling white clouds, the perfect blue color that paints the wall of the sky to the limitless view of the sky. Subhanallah, the sky is truly perfect!

Most of the time, I need someone to point out things for me, for I'm a person who see everything that I feel, see and hear everyday as normal. If I see a rare flower one sunny day, I'd say " Subhanallah, this flower is superbly beautiful". Now, if I were to see the rare flower everyday, I'd just say, "Ah, that's a flower!".And that's it! No deep thinking, transforming or whatsoever.

Know why? Because it has gotten N-O-R-M-A-L! I don't like it when I do that. I want to see every creation of ALLAH as if I had only seen it for the first time and to be forever impressed and reminded of ALLAH's power, perfectness, artistry, intelligence etc.

That's why I like it when people reminds me to appreciate simple things that we encounter everyday in our life. Be it the 'nasi lemak' that you eat everyday, the kiwi ice cream that you get to eat everyday or even the chirping of a bird that you so often hear everyday.

Because when we start being grateful, we'll come to realize that ALLAH has given lots of nikmat(blessings) to us, humans. And it's shameful if we were to go and do whatever we like, using the nikmat(blessings) in wrong ways. ....................................................................................

I like this book too. It constantly reminds me of death( HEREAFTER!). :)
Alhamdulillah, thank you, ALLAH.

I feel the urge to buy this book and ask my child to read it when he/she knows well how to read. :P
