Running away?

Have you ever feel so down or so guilty in your life. You feel like suddenly there is something wrong in everything that you do. You feel like nothing that you do is right.

And you come to think that,

"What had happened to me?"

"What have I done wrong?"

"Why I feel like this?

You try to figure out. But the more you think of it, the more complicated it becames. Your problems seem to stuck in mind and your heart became hard that you can't reach to any solution.

You want to run away. Run far away from all the problems that surround you. You think that run and hide from the problem is the best thing to do. But, can you do that?

In fact, there is no way to run!!!

Here is something to ponder:

One Sunday morning, you are waiting for a bus at the bus stop and you see a small child (about 3 or 4 years old) and his mother waiting for the same bus too. The child hold on tight to her mother's hand so that he know that his mother will not go any where. Then, the child suddenly walk away from his mother and go to the dustbin near by the bus stop. He see an old broken toy and take it. The toy is quite dirty. The mother calls her son because she doesn't want her son to get dirty too. But the son refuse to do so. In his mind, he just think about that old and broken toy that seems pleasant to his eye. Her mother begins to feel angry and raise up her boice a bit. Her son still do not listen to her. After a few minutes, then the bus come. The child quickly leave the toy and get back to his mother; hold on to her mother ones again. Hold on her hand tightly because he know only her and no one else.

There's no way for him to run.

Actually, we are like the small children who cannot run from the hand of our Creator. We are in need of Him. Because, He knows better. Only He can guide us. We should actually run to him. So, in whatever condition that we are, only the remembrance of Allah can help us feel better. From Him we came and to Him we shall return ourselves.

And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright. [Al-Baqarah,2:189]
