mind rant #17: Doa Chenta

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

"ehm..ehm.. bila nak makan nasi minyak?"

i was texting a friend of mine. asked her the question. saja nak sakat.

"insyaAllah..raya nanti majlis akad nikah. hehehe."

erk~ *pengsan*

betul rupanya.

here comes another wedding invitation. and this is already the umpteenth secret wedding-waiting-to-be-revealed-at-the-last-minute-before-the-real-day that i know of. i can only wonder at how many invitations i'll be getting by June. 

*******

and as always these kinds of things would trigger people like me to look at pretty wedding stuff. i used to really really like watching those cute wedding videos. but as time goes by, i found myself feeling empty watching all the lavish things portrayed in there; as the videos no longer show the start of a beautiful marriage, but just another video of a wedding reception. baju, kasut, pelamin, hantaran, pengantin keluar kereta; same old, same old. i lost interest.

but then i found a wedding video of brother Hilal Asyraf and his beauuutiful wife. :) 

(credits goes to the ever awesome Umar Mita.)

while most wedding videos make you feel rather empty;

i guess special ones make you rather teary.

:')

girls like me usually ended up going "aww" to things like this.

and whenever we see beautiful sweet couples out there,
i'm definitely sure one would definitely lift up their hands to make that special doa.

but instead of the usual 'reflex' doa that we make:

"ya Allah, kurniakan kami cinta orang yang soleh."

i'd opt for this doa instead;

ya Allah 

kurniakan kami CintaMu.

kurniakan kami CintaMu

kurniakan kami CintaMu

it's much more straight-forward isn't it?
and it keeps us back on track insyaAllah.
because it's not his love that we're searching for,
it's His Love.

so selamat berDoa dearies.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ سَيَجْعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وُدًّا

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal saleh, 

kelak Allah Yang Maha Pemurah akan menanamkan dalam (hati) mereka rasa kasih sayang."
