Short Stories of Islamic Love
His Destiny

The night shahdu docked quietly with a dead heart. Up in the room you're still pensive. Look at my portrait in the corner of the room. Very carefully you hug your folded legs. Very sharp your eyes are fixed on my self-portrait. Holy water flows slowly from both of your eyes. Still stiff, not moving. Your mind drifts away from your body into the past. The deeper your mind goes into the past, the deeper your heart is slashed.

Don't blame me. It's not my choice. This is my way of life. It's my destiny. I'm not asking. If I could choose I wouldn't want to be like this. I don't want to cut a wound in your heart. But what is my day, I am only a servant, nothing more. Nor will I be able to change His commandments, beyond His rules. Resign, that's what I can do now.

Refresh heart. I know you're a tough girl. The perfect great woman who created it. Rise from your fall. You don't have to regret what happened. Believe that! Your Lord knows what is best for you. It's just a bitter thing that covers your sweetness. Throw bitterness. Find sweetness. Forget about me even if it's hard for you.

“Who else will love me?” I heard clearly the voice of your heart. If I can answer I will answer “Open your eyes! There are many out there who will love you more than me. It's about time. Pass the bleak times. Take your beautiful time out there. Your Lord will also always love you, if you also love Him”

“What should I do?” if you ask me that, then again, if I can answer. Surely my answer would be like this “So much as what would you do. Crying is no problem. Let out all your tears of sorrow until there is nothing left. Spit out that bitterness of your heart. Clear all your emotions. But remember, never hurt the organs in your body. They are not guilty in this matter. It's just about me, you and His destiny”

“Can I forget you?” the celebration flares up again in your heart.

“Why not? Nothing is impossible in this world. Again, it's just about time. Don't think you can't just yet. Do not precede his destiny. All is possible even very possible. Don't be weak like this” that's my answer.

“What if your replacement is not as good as you?” again the screams of your heart disturbed me, disturbed my tranquility.

“You just don't know my replacement yet. If you've known him, there's no way you can say that my replacement is better than me. It's also about time. Time to get closer to my replacement and slowly forget about me. Your Lord knows better which is best for you” it is clear to me.

“But I can't forget you anyway. You're too beautiful to forget” your heart says again.

“I'm afraid to face this world without you”

“Why fear. You still have a God who always protects you. Don't be sad, God is always with you. I believe that your Lord will not allow His obedient servant to fall into the abyss of disobedience. If you're afraid of the dark. Light up his keEsaa lantern. If you're afraid you'll sink into an ocean of humiliation. Use his prayer buoy. If you're afraid of getting lost on the winding road. Use tahlil as your guide. Your Lord will always guide you on the straight path”

“But you're really stupid. You left me when we were bound by a sacred promise. Two sundays. It's only been two weeks you've left me. You really have to” this time your heart is heating up. Your heart says high. It implies that I am the most guilty of this. You blame me.

“Really this is not my choice. I would love to be with you, to build a household with you. But fate is not on my side. I want to make you my companion in the world. But it seems that God wills another. God would rather agree that you would be my eternal companion in His heaven. At first I was a little bit less with God. However, as time passed I only understood that God's intentions were very beautiful. Is not heaven more eternal than the world, more beautiful and more delicious?

If you want to know. I'm here really poisoned with your tears. I want to cry like you. But I no longer have tears that can gush from the body of my feet. I really want to be here next to you to set you down. Cuddling you in my arms, defending you tenderly full of love. But now my hands, legs, body, and all my organs can no longer move.

God has closed the path of my adventures in the world. God told me to rest. Calm your heart. You will also come after me and rest with me in eternity. I'm sorry I can't be by your side anymore. Can no longer accompany you. Our space, time and dimensions are different.

Sincerely, I leave you to my successor to take care of you in the world. When the time comes, I will take you again for me to take care of in the afterlife”

Your heart is silent, no longer able to speak. Your heart is a little calm. I see a smile now on your lips accompanying the sincerity of your heart to release me. I'm calm here.
