Today’s topic might be quite morbid; but somehow I feel like I have to talk about this. Talking and constantly remember about death, however, are encouraged in Islam.
Saya seorang muslimah; dan dalam Islam, topik kematian adalah topik yang cukup sering dibicarakan. Setahu saya, Nabi Muhammad SAW selalu mengingatkan umatnya agar senantiasa ingat akan kematian.
Allah Almighty says, “Every self will taste death. You will be paid your wages in full on the Day of Rising. Anyone who is distanced from the Fire and admitted to the Garden, has triumphed. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of delusion,” (3:185)
Kenapa?
Supaya hidup lebih bermakna. Supaya bisa menghargai arti hidup dan apa nilai dan tujuan kita selama hidup. Kita mengingat kematian agar bisa hidup.
Tapi gampang banget kita lupa. Saya, contohnya, sering sekali lupa. Dan dari lupa, menjadi sombong dan angkuh.
Kemarin malam, saya sedang iseng browsing di aplikasi LINE Webtoon. App LINE Webtoon adalah app yang disediakan oleh LINE ke komikus untuk menerbitkan komik mereka secara online. Pembaca dapat membaca karya-karya yang dipublikasikan secara gratis.
Kemarin malam, saya membaca ‘About Death‘. Dan, oh, rasanya seperti ditampar-tampar.
Seperti apa kematian itu? Dan yang paling penting, seperti apa nantinya kita meninggal?
“What kind of death do you have in mind?”
Rasanya seperti ditampar.
Selama ini saya nggak pernah mikir seperti itu.
Dan sekarang rasanya saya seperti sudah menyia-nyiakan hidup dan waktu yang saya punya.
By Time.
Indeed man is in loss,
Except those who have faith and do righteous deeds, and enjoin one another to [follow] the truth, and enjoin one another to patience. [QS. Al-Asr]

This is my personal blog, so anything goes. This blog has been around since 2014, which means you would, and could, see my past writings with different perspectives and mindsets at that time. While I tried to tidy things up here, I personally feel that things should not be too “clean” or polished. You see me grow and learn in this blog. This blog is a record-keeping of what I was, what I am, and what I will be. What I wrote in the past might not reflect who I am right now, nor me revisiting the topic.
While things here are generally PG-13, I must remind you that I’m an adult, which means some topics might be too heavy for younger readers.

Next project: Intermediate Theme Developer
I want to develop themes that sing praises for the 2000s. I always feel we could have a bit more 2000s-era whimsy.
