Lesson from Butterfly
A Greeting To Our Moslem Brothers:“HAPPY EIDUL FITRY”
Butterfly
It looks beauty when we see they fly or perched on the leaf
With their
incredible
patterns
And colors on their wings
Where did they
come from?
We all know butterfly
came out from cocoon that made
by the caterpillar
In this phenomenon, Allah want to show us meaning of Ramadan values
First
From Ugly
To Beauty
Caterpillar is scary creature for most people.
We don’t want to touch
or even to see
it.
Why?
For most people, caterpillar will make them itchiness.
Some people feel disgusted
with caterpillar
body.
People - as their act while
meet caterpillar -
judged it was ugly creature.
How about butterfly?
We are all agree, it is a beautiful creature
With their colorful wings
And amazing pattern.
Allah gives Ramadan to us
To bring people chance to revolution their life.
In eleven month
We was contaminate with our circumstances
Or even ourselves to make lot of sin to life.
Ramadan bring us shiam
(fasting)
Which is same as cocoon do
To convert ourselves become new person
New human
New baby born
We become different person by akhlak al karimah – good
attitude
Where people really give great
respect
Second
From Earth Character
Become Heavenly Character.
Caterpillar is creating as earth creature
Which cannot go far from their
resources – food, job, etc.
Caterpillar just thinks how to search and fill their ‘stomach’ from their area.
It is different with butterfly
They spread out to other area.
They can reach far away from their home.
They can see more than caterpillar see.
Butterfly not just sees what they want to eat
But also where they will place their next generation.
Allah teaches us to be able to transform from who have earth character
Such as selfish
Too materialistic
Stomach orientation
Into heaven character
Such as wise
Visionary
And able to make quantum leap of their da’wah
(convey the message of goodness).
We can see caterpillar such as a selfish creature
Which looking for leaf and eat it
Sometime one leaf is not enough
They have to become greedy to fill what they want and full it
Sometimes people loose control on what their
orientation in life
With Ramadan, Allah give a chance to convert ourselves
Become visionary,
wise
And also concern to spread out to other world what we obtained as a true Moslem.
We DO NOT just think in a small
area and short term
But globally and for future
For our replacement
To the next
generation.
Third
From Vandalize
To Constructive
No one will being in fresh or fine when caterpillar come to it
When caterpillar come to fruit
The fruit will rotten
When caterpillar
comes to leaf
The leaf will full with holes
When they come to wood
The wood becomes crumbly
It is totally different with butterfly
Butterfly arrives to flower
And then fruit will come out from the flower
Butterfly come to leaf
Then the leaf looks beautiful
Allah want us to change our habits who full with destruction
To nature
To environment
Even to ourselves
And change into
constructive behavior
Built something useful
Grow and nurture others
Because it is Moslem all about
Become helpful for other Moslems, people and other creatures
B’Coz, Islam is for "Rahmah lil 'Alamiin“ – Merciful for the
universe
Fourth
From Far away from
Become near with them
As first value, no people want to near by caterpillar
But, see what happen when the caterpillar make a revolution to their life…
Become butterfly
No people want to far away from it
For some people, they hunt the butterfly to be their collection
Because of its beauty and flying back and forth
Ramadan is a month to
transform our bad behavior into akhlak al-karimah, good attitude, good
behaviour
Allah galvanizes us in a full month training
Become different people
Who loved by our brother, sister, parent, son and daughter, family, friend, and even our enemies
Because we transformed our unworthiness behavior
Into “Jannah” (Heavenly) behavior
Nobody wants to go far away from people who have “jannah” behavior.
Thence, please, let us make this Ramadan to remove our sinfulness and
replace with heavenly character
I wish... We can get the most from this
Ramadan
Ameen
“Wa Allahu A’lam”Only Allah Knows
Everything
HappyEidul Fitri
Mubarakah
