| St Basil Cathedral on rainy day, sila abaikan payung bercorak ala makcik-makcik |
I do love when it's raining, since I am all about the rain. I always find the rain is soothing. When you were in trouble and the rain was pouring so heavily, the feeling is beyond indescribable. You just couldn't escape from feeling extremely sad as the situation goes. It's like the rain amplifies your melodramatic grief to the uppermost level and you just left being hopeless, and helpless. Like everything is too much and inside your heart it's raining too. OMG now I am being overly dramatic, boohooooo.
But seriously, there is something with rains that makes me feel very connected. It is comforting, refreshing, and most importantly it's cooling everything down. Each time I feel the rain, I couldn't help to think about one of my favourite ayah about the rains, from surah al-A'raaf;
"Dan Dialah yang meniupkan angin sebagai pembawa berita gembira sebelum kedatangan rahmat-Nya (hujan), hingga apabila angin itu telah membawa awan mendung, Kami halau ke suatu daerah yang tandus, lalu Kami turunkan "hujan" di daerah itu, maka Kami keluarkan dengan sebab angin itu pelbagai macam buah-buahan. Seperti itulah Kami membangkitkan orang-orang yang telah mati, mudah-mudahan kamu mengambil pelajaran"
(al-A'raaf, 7:57)
In this ayah Allah drives heavy clouds towards a dead land and with His graceful mercy, He blesses the land with water to fall upon it, causing all manner of fruits to come forth. And Allah makes us to keep in mind that this is how He causes the dead to come to life.
In this particular ayah, I'd like to tadabbur and stressed out that rain plays an important role in reliving a dead land to be fruitful. Without rain, the dead land is a dead land, wasted and unnoticed by others.
As per say, in life we need rain too. Sometimes we left our heart dries for too long until its dead, and its time to get the heart soaked wet for some rejuvenation. Let find some rain that can rejuvenates our hearts, making our borrowed body to be fruitful and worthy. And ofcourse it is none other than our job to keep the dried land always soaked, either from zikr or reading surahs to reciting mathurats, to keep our dried land alive and functioning.
The rain could be anything that can make our hearts soaked, and when the water has poured down on the dried land, trust me, just like a productive land, you'll see the better glimpse of life, and you won't be wanting to be sunshined again.
And yes, those who thinks sunshine is pure happiness have never tried dancing in the rain :)
