Guide Me All The Way

Listening to Maher Zain's song, "Guide Me All The Way", makes me remember about Abu Bakar Ash Shiddiq ra. He ever said "O God! Let this world be in my hands, and not in my heart". 

As we know if we have learned about his story, Abu Bakar ra. is one of Khulafaur Rosyidin that means he was a Kholifah, Amir, or a President of a country. With that status, he really careful about what had been mandated to him. Some part of Jazirah Arab was in his hand, but he afraid if his power made him forget that all of power, strength, force, even he himself an his family are only belong to Allah. He afraid if that time when every body will be asked about her life, he can't account to Malaikah for what all of things that had been given to him in the word. For him, the best place is akhirat, not here in this world. So, there were no need to collect the wealth of the world, much less in a way that is not blessed by Allah, The Owner of us.

Let's pray that Allah always guide us in the whole of our activities, problems, and all. Keep Allah, then Allah will take care of you.

Guide Me All The Way Lyrics
by Maher Zain

I know that You could easily
Take away every thing You’ve given me
And I try to remember
Not to take anything for granted
‘Cause I know that one day
Suddenly this will all come to an end
So my last wish is for you to be pleased with Me

Chorus:
Allah, Ya Allah
Guide me all the way to your Jannah
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Don’t let me go astray ’cause I need you
By my side, I wish to be close
Close to You throughout my life
Ya Allah, oh Allah!
Be with me all the way

I know that sometime I do
I do forget that my last breath could be the last
Forgive me ’cause I cant thank you enough
Forgive me when I doubt your love
Now I pray for that day
when all this stops and comes to an end
So my my last wish is for You to be pleased with me

CHORUS

Day by day passes
And I think that my time could be near
So I pray: O God let this world be in my hands
And not in my heart
‘Cause soon I’ll have to leave it [X2]

CHORUS [X3]

Guide me all the way
Don’t let me go astray

"Guide us on the straight path, The path of those whom Thou hast favored; Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray" (Al Fatihah : 6-7)
