Tonight is 29th in holy month of Ramadhan. I found something interesting during this week. If you ever been to listen speech from Ustadz in the mosque before Shalat Terawih, you must be know about Lailatul Qodar night. At Lailatul Qodar night, Moslem who praying, Shalat, and all good things related to make you closer to Allah SWT. You will be awarded a goodness value as many as like you did it in 1000 nights (equal with 83 years)! The award will be given in the odd night during the last 10 days in Ramadhan. Everyone want it! But nobody knows when it will happen.
Because Allah gave a clue, it becomes easy for Moslem to get it. But it become uneasy for Moslem to get its value, because such that goodness will only given to Moslem who have sincerity to pray, shalat, and have a pure heart. That makes me wonder, how lucky they are if they got it! But the unique thing happened here. The mosque which should be full of people do praying at the night, shalat terawih, dzikir, and ‘Itikaf is getting empty, less of people!
I can count how many people in the mosque tonight, maybe it less than 50 people (male and female). If I compare it from the previous nights, it is such a drastic number because (maybe) there are more than 200 people in the mosque at the beginning of Ramadhan. And how they could get award from Allah at Lailatul Qodar if it happened like that? I have no idea about the answer.
This phenomenon reminds me to the show ‘The Last Man Standing’ on BBC Knowledge. The show is like a reality show, telling about competition between participants who expert on they own field, such as athlete surfing, wrestling, etc. They all competes each other to gain title as ‘The Last Man Standing’. The last man who still standing at the end of competition will gain money as its awards.
If you look at these stories, you will find the same things between two of them. Either Lailatul Qodar or ‘The Last Man Standing’ give the best that they have to the best that can proven them self as the best from the best.
If you ask me how best is mine, you will have no idea how is it! hehe, because I don’t know how best I gave…
