Reading here and there about the worldwide trending issue MH370 makes me feel like writing a few notes about it too. Nothing beneficial much, just want to write something so that I'll have a memory about the beloved air plane in my blog.
* I am currently in the phase where an aeroplane's picture deeply hurts me.
* I kinda hate it when people keep saying that this incident happened due to the sins of the passengers or the crew or the airline itself. People, you are not God. You never know what's the reason behind this. And God gives obstacles not because He hates us. Never. Haven't you heard the stories of pious people who were inflicted with calamities because God loves them and wanna grant them with ample of rewards? Stop giving your negative opinion about Allah's fate. Verily Allah tests His slaves (yes we are His slaves, not servants) in order to upgrade our faith, as well as to pay the hardship with Jannah. InshaAllah. But first, redha and sabr are the two things we need to store in ourselves.
* I know lots of people are afraid of flight accidents compared to the one happens on the roads, though they are aware that road accidents occur more often than those on the sky. Well, I feel so too. Maybe because when it comes to aeroplane crash, it sounds tremendously scary. And to think about the distressed and fearful moment right before the accident happens, it is truly terrifying. But when I think again, at least the passengers in the flight were given time to make lots of du'a and say the shahadah, as preparation if calamity happens after that. I don't know. I just hope that I am not destined to face such a horrifying minutes of life. And whatever it is, I do pray that Allah will grant me Husnul Khatimah. Amin..
* When we heard the news like this, it's best for us to follow the sunnah of our prophet sollallahu 'alaihi wasallam; which is to say inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi roji'un. Not al-fatihah. This isn't the matter of we can recite al fatihah or not, it's the matter of we really want to follow the path of our beloved Muhammad sollallahu 'alaihi wasallam or we prefer another way. And don't forget to ask Allah to forgive the Muslims that died in the incident. It is sunnah.
