Last night had been a not-so pleasant day and yet I wasn't into saying anything much. No use of writing when one's soul is not in deep pleasure aite?.
Now, this is an act for a self-ignition and I believe that not all viewers are Muslims themselves. It's not an insult for non-muslims, it's just a motivational factor on becoming better humans as your respective religions had taught you as well. Nothing more.
We aren't enough grateful yet. We still have tons of things to learn, to navigate, to take as a lesson and etc. Doesn't matter it's either we're poor and wealthy. No indications of gratitude can be determined by the length of your life condition. It depends on you yourself. Now, that's not easy. But there's another way on being grateful. Especially for muslims who are teenagers. Again, not an insult for non-muslims. We have a say on our thoughts as well.
"Psychology has proven the year of our adolescence is the time of life that'll make one crave for desperately trying new things -even if it means doing sins. We have no boundaries. We have no limitations as long as the internet stays vast on worldwide usage. We're teenagers, we want to have fun, reluctantly make mistakes, break the heart a few times or two. But why should it be now? When we barely know the world might come to an end within a few more years time before we become fully matured and well experienced. Why should Allah create us to be teenagers when the world is no longer safe for a Muslim?"
Let's make a simple example. Before technology took over family members like grandparents had spent their teenage lives aimlessly on things they crave for -like we do. Yet there wasn't any social sites to increase that level of corruption. They grow old, realize they've done sins during their teenage years and wants to make amends by turning back to Allah, the Most Beneficent, The Merciful. But we, in our teens perhaps has gotten too risky on today's massive unpreventable disease. The intention of trying to new things. To make mistakes and learn from them. I classify that whenever people ask what is meant by being a teenager.
Isn't that counted as not fair? Why would Allah create us -when we're dying to do exciting things like any other teenager intends to, when there's so many corruption? In the 80's, how did unwed partners communicate? Use letters. We? nah, we've got everything. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. How about those who bullies people during their youth? Nah, they've admitted their sins and made amends. They got married and now have 4 grandchildren already.
We? No, we're just starting to rock and roll when the world is almost collapsing.
So, the big question is, "Why did Allah grant our life to be made as a teenager today? Why not 40 years ago when there wasn't much corruption?"
Aha. Because He knows we're able to get through this. To fight this mental breakdown. To earn whatever it takes to bring Islam back to it's final stand. Besides even Prophet Muhammad S.A.W mentioned those who fight for Islam during their youth are the best of his followers indeed.
No hadith has mentioned how many deeds will we collect. But believe me, I am sure, battling yourself as a teenager as the last generations of Islam's reign is enough to prove you're worth of going for war to fight for Islam. Yes, even if it means distant yourself from the close-minded society. :)
