Is Allah Satisfied?

Baru-baru ni aku asyik dengar lagu Maher Zain je. Best tau lagu die. Semmuuaa lagu die best! Hehe.. Tapi kan ada satu lagu ni sangat menyentuh perasaan, dan sangat menginsafkan kalau kite hayati lirik die betul-betul. Aku tertarik sebab, aku tak pernah lagi dengar lagu keagamaan yang ade sensitiviti tentang perkara macam ni (ke aku yang tak pernah dengar lagu nasyid. Hehe). 

Lagu ni betul-betul tentang apa yang terjadi zaman sekarang, di mane kita semuanya berbangga dengan kejayaan dan harta yang kita capai, tapi kita lupa yang Allah sentiasa perhatikan kita. Tujuan hidup kita kat dunia ni, bukannya duit, kan? Tak kira la sebanyak mana harta yang kita kumpul, Allah sikit pun tak heran. Kita terlalu ikutkan nafsu, dan kalau kita bersedekah pun, keikhlasan tu sangat sedikit. Orang kasi sedekah zaman sekarang, mesti nak ditunjuk-tunjuk kat tv dan newspaper, padahal sepatutnya even tangan kite sebelah lagi pun tak patut nampak tangan kite yang tengah bersedekah ni. 

Kita cukup puas hati dengan semua yang kita ada, kita buat dan kita dah capai, tapi kita tak pernah fikir adakah Allah berpuas hati dengan tindakan kita? Itulah maksud lagu ni. Sila la download lagu ni ye, hehe.. Dengar lagu dan baca lirik ni dengan perasaan yang feeling. The lyrics are as shown below. Thanks Maher Zain for making me realize about this!

 

'Awaken' by Maher Zain

We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought
We couldn't stop buying
We gave charity to the poor 'cause
We couldn't stand their crying
We thought we paid our dues
But in fact
To ourselves we're just lying

Oh...I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we'd bought
We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol
We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops
Yes we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
We didn't have any time to lose
When we were.. (were)
So busy feeling so satisfied

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became the visuals without a soul
despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness
We bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars
And bling will make us feel satisfied

My dear brother and sister
It's time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don't throw away what's right aside
Before the day comes
When there's nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself 'cause Allah's watching you

Is He satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?

Oh..I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
