Reflection
Chapter 1: The Invisible Call
The night was deep. The city's hustle had died down, but the soothing sound of the Adhan (call to prayer) from the mosque echoed through the silence, spreading an indescribable peace. Rayhan sat by the window, lost in thought. His heart was restless. He had known about Islam since childhood, but he had never truly felt its depth. But today… today, something felt different.
For the past few days, a series of events had made him ponder deeply. One day, an old man unexpectedly told him, "Your heart has not awakened yet, but it will soon. When Allah calls, there will be no way to escape."
At that time, Rayhan didn’t take it seriously. But now, he felt that the old man truly knew something.
Chapter 2: The Beginning of Change
One day, following a friend’s suggestion, Rayhan started watching Islamic videos on YouTube. At first, it was out of curiosity, but soon he felt a strange pull toward them. The videos emphasized that Allah is always waiting for His servants to return to Him; the question is, will they answer the call?
One night, Rayhan suddenly woke up in the last part of the night. He felt an unusual tranquility in his heart. He got up, performed ablution, and for the first time, he prayed Tahajjud (the late-night prayer). Tears streamed down his face as he felt, for the first time, that he was truly surrendering himself to Allah.
Chapter 3: A Traveler on a New Path
The next day, Rayhan began reading the Quran. Each verse struck a chord in his heart. Especially when he read this verse from Surah Al-Imran:
"Indeed, those who return to Allah, He opens the doors of His mercy for them." (3:8)
He felt that Allah had also opened a door of mercy for him. Now, all he had to do was walk through it.
His friends were surprised at how much he had changed. Some encouraged him, while others teased, "Are you becoming a scholar now?"
But Rayhan knew his goal was firm.
Chapter 4: Spreading the Light of Truth
One day, he decided to share his spiritual journey with others. He started an Islamic blog, where he wrote about his thoughts, Islamic teachings, and inspirational stories.
Gradually, his writings began to touch people's hearts. One day, a reader sent him a message: "Brother, your words have brought me back to Islam. My life has changed."
That was the greatest reward Rayhan could receive!
Chapter 5: Steadfast on the Path of Light
Now, Rayhan was not only following the path of Islam himself, but he was also helping others walk on it. He realized that life is not just about this world; rather, it is a preparation for the Hereafter.
One day, he met the old man again. The man smiled at him and said, "Did I not tell you? You cannot escape when Allah calls. The heart has no choice but to respond!"
Rayhan lowered his head and wept. His tears bore witness—he had found the light of truth.
The End.
