Al-Fatihah

Al-Fatihah 

Mahasuci Allah Yang di dalam genggaman kekuasaan-Nya seluruh kerajaan, dan Dia Mahakuasa atas segala sesuatu. Yang menciptakan mati dan hidup untuk menguji kamu siapakah di antara kamu yang paling baik amalnya, dan sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mulia lagi Maha Pengampun  – Al-Mulk [67]: 1-2

Ketika aku menemukan kehidupan (duniawi) kutemukan bahwa akhir kehidupan adalah kematian, namun ketika aku menemukan kematian, aku pun menemukan kehidupan abadi. Karena itu, kita harus prihatin dengan kehidupan (duniawi) dan bergembira dengan kematian. Kita hidup untuk mati dan mati untuk hidup – Socrates

 Just a couple of hours ago I received a phone call from a friend of mine. I was shocked and initially in disbelief when I was told that a friend during our university years has passed away because of cardiac arrest.

 Innalillah wa inna ilaihi rajiun…

 Flashes of old memories came forward from the depths of my mind and I can see vividly his face, his laughter… his intellect. I still remember the time when we are both in the ‘smoking room’ after the wee hours during our honors programme chatting about what our plans are after graduating.

“Kau lepas grad kau nak buat apa Roy? He asked.

“Aku rasa aku nak practice… nak ada firm sendiri one day, kau plak?”

“Aku nak join gomen… nak masuk AG”

 After graduation, all take their own paths, some may say that the path taken is predetermined and some say that path taken is of our own choice. Whatever that may be, for my friend who had passed away he has taken the path that he wants or wanted. For that I am glad for him.

 Good bye my old friend, Ahmad Zulkamal Shahrir… a good man, a good friend and a brilliant chap.

 Al-Fatihah.
