Flower in a Reflection



Salam. To all readers. This time, Karim is going to take you through a journey with 'flowers'. It is just a short trip, but Karim really hope, you can learn it by heart. Bismillah....


One day, when Karim 'jalan-jalan' in a park, Karim's eyes attracted to a flower. A rose. It is very weird, when a teenage, male, attracted to flowers. Heh, so funny. Then I walked to the enchanting rose. I observed her nearer, masya Allah, she was so pretty. So beautiful. And I know that Allah had decorated her with His Beauty. Allah is beautiful, and He loves Beauty. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of beholder. Alhamdulillah, God still let me see the miracles of His creations.

Humans are like flowers. They are beautiful, in different perspectives. God gives them beauty. But sometimes, they betrayed Him. At last, the beauty faded away. Most of us prefer the physical beauty, but to think it deeply, beauty is something that relieves our heart, fills our heart with happiness and thanks to God. And something inside me told me, beauty isn't the physical one, but the true beauty is the beauty of Akhlaq. Like our beloved Prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) said, the true beauty is in the Akhlaq.

Al-Qalam,4
Dan bahawa sesungguhnya engkau(Muhammad) mempunyai akhlak yang amat mulia.


Like flowers, beauty of akhlaq must be born from our hearts. Flowers, they are beautiful. It is not because of they want people to look them as a beautiful one, but because the flowers themselves wanted to be beautiful. Just like us, humans. To attain the real beauty of Akhlaq, it must come from our hearts. We can't be good just because we want people to look us as a good person. We must be good because we ourselves wanted to be good. And that intention must be because of Allah. Nothing else. Karim always pray, so that everything Karim do, is based on Ikhlas, only for Allah. Because without the intention, the deeds or changes we made are not safe. Many incidents around Karim proved this. For example, Love. If it is not because of Allah, when something we don't want to happen happens, we can easily change negatively. As if we can't accept it. My friend has gone through this situation, but when this happened to him, miraculously he smiled. But I know how deep the 'luka' was. But, he said, Allah is Perfect, and His fate is Perfect. Masya Allah. Such a strong person. I wish I can be as strong as him.


This is what I learn, after having a thought journey with my mind. Alhamdulillah. I guess God made flower as an icon of beauty. Try to look at this verse, one of the miracles of Quran.


Ar-Rahman, 37
When the sky is rent asunder, and it becomes red like ointment

Maka apabila langit terbelah dan menjadi merah seperti mawar yang di(lumuri) minyak


Wow, and they just spotted it recently. While the Quran had highlighted it centuries ago. As Spaceflight.com reported in 12 Sept 2002, "A Rose Blooming In Space". CNN.com on the same day reported "Hubble Spies Soft Rose In Tough Neighbourhood".




Masya Allah, on 6 Dis 2005, Space.com reported about her presence. Under "A Rose is a Rose, Even in Space". Masya Allah. I can't help myself being stunned by this fact. After a long time, I still feel amazed by what Allah has shown to mankind.

Besides the physical beauty, flowers which are delicate in its structures, also possess another beauty. Beauty of energy. Most of us don't know, as delicate as its structures, their energies are also very delicate. One of the known energy possesses by them is aura. Flower is one of the aura containers, besides us humans. But, to use their energy, we must carefully pluck the flower, or not, the energy that surrounds them will disperse. Such a delicate balance. That's why some of us have their 'mandi bunga'. Their essences, aromas, chakras, and auras can easily dissolve in water. universal solvent. When Karim say universal, Karim really mean it. Hitherto, such mysteries still unsolved partially. But, as time passes by, our 'masyarakat' really loves to mix the unseen energies with Jin. I don't know why, maybe they wanted to have more energy, such a waste. Whether Allah wants it to remain as secrets, or not. Wallahu a'lam.
