Last night, when I was sitting in the balcony next to my room, Niraj (Indian) came to me, and he asked me "What happen to the room, you usually do namaz (sholat)?". I answered "O, yes, the owner of the room now he is using his room, so we can't do sholat over there anymore, so we do it in the balcony next to Mustafa's room on the day and in the roof on the night". "That's I saw you did it in that places. Is it compulsory to do sholat together? Can we do it alone?". Oh God, he is interested to what we are doing (sholat), I'm very happy because what we did as a dakwah works.
"We can do sholat alone, but if we do it together with others, we got more good value. According to my religion (Islam) after death there will be a judgment from our God. If the bad things is more than the good things than we will be punished in the hell. The punishment is very bad, you will be burned, and if your skin is destroyed and God will give you a new skin to be burned again and again. It is very bad punishment from our God. But don't forget that our God is also full of mercy and love. The prove that He is full of love is you. Look at you, you are not Moslem but you are happy now, you can do your education until now PhD. Excuse me, what is your religion?". He answered "Actually I'm not belong to any religion". Oh God this is interesting, he had the way of thinking about life completely different with me. I wanted to know more how is the way he think.
"Do you ever think about where we will go after death?". He answered "Yes it is simple, if we dead than we go nowhere. Just like this building, if this building is destroyed by someone/something, so the existence of the building is finish. That is it. You see that vehicle, if some one destroy that vehicle, where is the vehicle go? No where, it just stop the existence of the vehicle". "Do you think that we are just like that vehicle, what do you mean by the death than?" I asked. "Well, death means our body stop working, our heart stop pumping the blood to every where in the body". I asked "How about soul than". He answered, "There is no soul, what is a soul?. We have a brain here, to think. thats it.
