answer?


I walked home from school. 
There was a friend of mine, MJ was his name.
No actually I don't even know what was his name.
He just loves Micheal Jackson so much.
He don't look much like him. But the way MJ danced,
I just can't stop myself of thinking of Micheal Jackson.
MJ was kind of my best friend but he just like quetioning ..
Well, an ambitious  guy who dream high to be a lawyer he was.
"Dahuq, about the religion you 're in, I don't understand..how could you believe it when you just can't see your God.."
And I give no answer.. I just can't. I kept thinking while walking
and my ears turned deaf to what ever he was saying then.
As I reach my door step. I turned to him and say goodbye.
He  grab my bag to get me back as I forbidden him to hold any part of mine.
"Proof. It's proof that i want.. Okay..? Prove me that your religionis true. Well i don't want to marry you and change my religion for other religion that I don't even know  if its true or not..okay..?" He said. He turn and left with a smile.
"Hey, wait.. are u kidding me..? I never agree with any of that."
He kept walking and ignore me.

*********
That night, when i was about to sleep I think about the question over and over again and just before I close my eyes, the answer came.

"Well, not everything got proof..!"
The next day was a new day. Everyday is a new day. A new and different way to get yourself near to GOD.  It
was Saturday. Saturday is just same as other day as my parent both is not home. so, I would always spend  the day taking a walk or strolling at the park. I walk and watch the beauty of this wonderful life. We just don't need the proof to feel him there. Just this feeling make me love HIM more and more everyday.
Suddenly there was a beautiful red rose pop out of nowhere.
"So, did u figure out the answer debater..?"
"Well MJ, first, i'm not a debater. debater is just not me. I agree with what I argue but debaters, they fight for the topics that they got even sometimes they don't agree with them. Don't you think they are just kind of stupid.?"
"Okay Miss Not Debater, so answer..?"
"Not everything need proof." I stopped as I was trying to find the simplest way to let him understand.
"No proof? How...? I don't get it." he shook his head.
"Well, in the court, you need proof to actually charge or sue someone. But you don't need proof to believe it."
"Maybe, but there is something else that make us believe right? We cant just believe someone that we don't 
  or never met?"
"Ya, you're right. In my religion, my GOD sends the prophet to bring us the religion, to guide us. we believe
  in him so, what ever he brings, he says we get hold of it."
"Why would you believe him? Have you met him?"
"I believe in him because the messages that he brings from GOD is just unbeatable! No body can ever created better. And it never changes. Nobody can change them. I mean ,MJ, I've show you before how  all the Quran is the same. All the versus, the name, the words, it is the same even if you take the versus from India, or New Zealand, Africa, Thailand, Australia, or any places it is the same. so, this things make me believe that the Quran is from the God, send to all of us as a guidance , not only for the prophet but for all of us through Jibril."
"Ooo, ya. I know , when I read it, peace!"
"So, MJ, what are you waiting for?"
"I don't know, there's just so much thing to change!"
"We can do it slowly. Islam never force or push. you see, like this flower that you gave me here. Its
  beautiful cause it's fragrance right..?" I turned to him. He nod once.
"You choose this rose for me cause you like the sweet smell..?" I looked at him and waited until he nod.
"It's not only the smell, it's beautiful, okay? Just like you."
 I look at him with a crocked face."thanks but stop that. You're distracted me, okay?"
"Let’s continue please."
"So, do you see them?"
"Huh? See what? The smell? Of course i can't."
"Like my religion, I can't see Him. But, the way my life goes, the way my religion completes my life and my heart. I know that He is always there. No mater where i go, what i do, who i meet, He is always in my heart. And the most important is that I really feel the sweetness of my religion. I feel tranquility. peace" I smiled.Yes, peace that is.
“He is always in your heart huh..? So that makes me not in your heart? Now I understand how it is hard for me to attract you."
" I got no answer for that because only GOD know what is in our heart. Even sometimes  we just don't."
“ About this rose, do you have any simpler answer?"
"Well, I told you, you gotta be one of us,then you can simply feel it"
   "Can i ask you one more thing?"
   "Come on! We are friends. How can I say no?"
   "Why do your GOD did not show Himself? Huh? Is he UGLY?"
   "I can't give you the perfect answer but, let me tell you something.. God is perfect right? He is just so    
    perfect, that if He show Himself, everyone would simply bow at Him. His appearance is already enough.   
    So there would be no war, no one is against. when everyone is a good human, then there is no test. life is  
    gonna be very boring..! dont you think? "
   "Why? Why would He make everyone's life harder ? What? Do He make fun out of it?"
   "Hey, mind your word. Don't simply judge. Our life is like school. You see, we study, we have test. The    
    selected one, which is the one who pass will get the promotion, which is jannah! If there is no test, 
    everyone is good one then. There is no point of creating jannah[heaven]  or nhar[hell], right? With this 
    test, there is the proof of the believe in God and love, which I always call as iman. He created everything 
    for reason. Like, the prophet, Why do He make His life so hard when He loves the prophet..?huh..?" I 
    looked at his face.
   "Well, I don't know. I would not make your life hard."
   "Because He don't want us to complain or to question. For example, when i'm going through test, i won't 
    question 'why is the prophet's life so simple but why is mine so hard?'because his life is already so hard. 
   Instead, I would actually bare in mind that 'the prophet can go through lot of extreme test in his life, so why 
   can't i? Am i right, MJ?"
  "You know what? You always make me see the bright side of islam. Thanks."  
  Well that day end up to be a good day for both of us. His question is answered, so do mine.
