"… Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, you would abhor it…”
(al-Hujurat 49:12).

Indications that Ghibah is a major sin are also to be found in the following Ahadith (Prophet’s sayings):
"What is worse than usury (Riba) is a man’s insulting the honour (’ird) of his brother.”

And the words of the Prophet (SAWS) to ‘A`ishah:
“You have said a word which, if it could be mixed with the waters of the sea, it would have been.”
[i.e., the enormity of it is such that even if it were mixed with the vast waters of the sea, it would not be concealed at all]

Allah is fair. I hope what goes around comes around. I really do.

Somehow, I miss Mama so much today. I know I make myself sound like some big baby cos I just saw her afew hours ago but I really do lor. Hhmm.

While watching this, I was reminded of an incident which made me cringe with warm affection.  Afew weeks ago, we were both youtube-ing with my dad and stumbled on a Malaysian teevee series (Cerekarama). Watched one of the episodes entitled Ihsan, where it was contemporary version of Si Tanggang - based on a true story re-told by a magistrate.

Pls watch, totally recommended (if u have an hour to spare).

So at the end of the episode, after buckets of tears,  I asked my mother, “Have I ever hurt your feelings.?”

“Of course.! When I ask u to go wash the dishes.. U say wait wait. In the end I have to do.. .. .. .. .. (and she went on..) ..”

I was silenced by mama’s mini sermon but rest assured, the heart was overflowing with a profound fusion of regret and love.

When I hear of people being far away or even losing their mothers, I can only sympathise. But I don’t  dare to even think of losing my own.. Afew hours.. The longing is already so immense.. What more forever..

“Mama, agung namamu oh mama
Mama mesra namamu oh mama
Mama pelindung hidupku mama
Belaianmu hangat menyayang
Tiada di dalam dunia cinta semurni mama
Tiada di dalam dunia kucinta sebagai mama
Pengorbananmu tak terbilang
Seluruh hidupku mendatang
Oo oh mamaku sayang…”

 Okay aku dah nak start merengek nie.. Grrr..
I think I’ll go give her a call now.
