Baby Steps of a Muslimah

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Assalamualaikum

I don’t know about you, but there are times when I feel kerdil, you know, not kerdil as in dwarf kerdil or pendek, but kerdil as in damit (again not in terms of height or body stature), but kerdil as in betapa kerdilnya tani when compared to Allah.

Manusia mudah lalai, and perasan we are all that, when we are not all that. We aren’t. We are kerdil.

This is how I feel when searching through the net, liat the researches that has been done by others. Though they are professors and expert in their field, but when I saw their research list, macam I felt my research atu, insignificant (it’s actually not insignificant, by the way), it’s just that, I felt so kerdil when I compare what I did to what they did.

Atu baru duniawi, and udahtah duniawi, baru in the realm of science, alum lagi when compared to the scholars in islam who has done so much…

Alum lagi compared to what has nabi did for us… ya Allah, lagi rasa kerdil… all his pengorabanan for his ummah

Alum lagi compared to what Allah has given us… from the skills we acquire, to the food we eat on the table to just about everything, including the air we breathe and the beating of our heart…

“maka nikmat tuhanmu yang manakah yang kamu dustakan?” (Ar-rahman:13)

So do you agree now that we are kerdil?
