d wind.. n d ships..

a sis of mine, have once asked,
why did Allah SwTaála keep mentioning about the voyage of ships on the sea..
bout how Allah Taála mentioned those who's traveling on ships, will continue to hope from Allah, yet when they reached the destination, they choose to deny His words..

such as in suratul Luqman, verse 31-32:
_______________________

"Do you not see that ships sail through the sea by the favor Allah that He may show you of His signs? Indeed in that are the signs for everyone patient and grateful." 

[31:31]

"And when waves come over them like canopies, they supplicate Allah, sincere to Hin in religion (faith). But when He delivers them to the land, there are (some) of them who are moderate (in faith). And none rejects Our signs except everyone treacherous and ungrateful." 

[31:32]

____________________________

sumhow, i guess, He wants to portray to us that, we often, in our situation of despair and lost, we give our best supplication and trust to Him, and when Allah help us, granted our need, we forget about how He helped us when we were in need.
Juz like those who travel on the ship..
of course they'll bring everything; food,medcine,etc2..
yet we know, anything could juz happen once we departs to the sea.
the ships could have juz suddenly stop in the middle of the sea due to a motor breakdown..
the storm that blow seems like to bring the ship to drown..
etc2..
and at that time, everyone on the ship will continue to supplicate to Allah to bring them to reach the destination in safety..
but when the ship have really arrived in safe.. they rejoice without being thankful to Allah..
and then, the next minute, totally ignore that it was Allah who had helped them to reach it safely..

okay. now back to this journey of life..
people do often said, the path of truth, that we chose, is not florished with flowers..
a good resemblance..

yet, when i read sumthin about the wind, the ship..
that trigger to me, its also a good resemblance of this journey..

"The wind often blows in the direction oppose to the way the ships are heading.."

to ships we're in...

the journey we choose to be in..

all depends on our decision to make, to be a part of it.. 

at first, as we departs to the sea, it seems like an amazing

voyage..

yet, later, when the winds start to blow, the storm starts to howl..

we'll wonder, did we make the right choice to be in it..

the wind will always try to divert the path we're heading..

then, it'll be up to us.. 

to continue this journey, or to proceed on till we reach our destination..

but one thing for sure, if we just continue to stay still without moving...

we'll be drown by the gush of the waves due to the blow of the wind..

so now, it all lay in our hands..

to continue dis drive of ship..

or be drown due to the howling winds..
