LIFE AND DEATH...

Assalamaualikum to all muslim Bloogers and good day to my other frinds,

Today 5-April-2008; our goats delivered another 6 new baby kids. Alhamdulillah, last year there were many male, this year looks like we will have more female kids.
There are still some mothers who is expecting deliveries soon. Hopefully everything will be ok.

Everytime new kids are borned, it reminds me of the miracle of God's creations. It looks like the creation of life and death are so easy for HIM. From HIM we come and To HIM we will return.

Goat farming teaches us to be aware and always remember that matters of LIFE and DEATH are beyond our control. HE can give us LIFE (new kids) , yet ONLY HE can take them away from us! For the past few years, we watched our goats growing and growing. For the past few years, we also watched some of our goats died due to reasons... sometimes we did not comprehend.

The matters of LIFE and death we experienced through goat farming reminded us about our LIFE. Days come and Go, goats come and go, people come and go ! It is all beyond our control. The moral of the story, is that: ALLAH created LIFE and DEATH to test mankind on who has the best IMAN among us. Allah is the Greatest and Most Forgiving.

To all my friends, look at LIFE and DEATH from the other perspective: Just like what is mentioned in Surah AL-Mulk: Ayat 2.

" ALLAH yang menjadikan Mati dan Hidup, supaya Dia menguji Kamu, siapa di antara kamu yang lebih baik amalnya. Dan Dia Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Pengampun."

So, setiap kali kita mendapat anak kambing baru atau kambing kita mati kerana sesuatu sebab, ingatlah ayat daripada surah AL-MULK di atas. Semoga Kita mendapat hidayah daripada Nya.

May ALLAH Bless us with the Hikmah and Hidayah as we continue our Journey in this world.

Wasalam and cheers.
