“Whenever I hear this song, it doesn’t make me sad, rather it makes me happy, it’s one of the ways I communicate with God. ”
It has been 1 year since my Dad, Grandpa and Grandma passed away. I know that they are with me at every step of the way, but sometimes I feel hopeless. I search for signs to know where they are. I know they are happy where they are.
There's a lot of music out there, but one music that I felt so deeply was "Kun Faya Kun". The phrase originates from the Quran and means "Be, and it is". It signifies the limitless power of divine will, emphasizing that when God commands something to exist, it comes into being instantly. The song beautifully conveys themes of faith, surrender, and finding solace in a higher power. The song portrays the protagonist's emotional journey, seeking peace and guidance in times of hardship.
When I hear this song, it gives me strength, as I regain hope, it reassures me that I can turn to God when in times of need. My Dad, Grandpa and Grandma have always valued God, they've always told me to follow the path of righteousness, they've told me that God never discriminates, He is always listening to the unspoken words. I've always failed in communication, my mind knows what to communicate, but my voice fails, I often tend to speak through writing because I know that they will come out stronger. Knowing that God hears my unspoken words, I am able to communicate with Him, I am able to connect with Him. Knowing that God forgives all, I can surrender to Him and start a new journey. Knowing that my prayers are being heard, but they may be delayed, I know that He is working on them and He knows what is best for us.
Whenever I hear this song, it doesn't make me sad, rather it makes me happy, it's one of the ways I communicate with God. When there's no one to turn to, I know God will hear my prayers, I know that I can always cry in front of God and He would never discriminate me for doing so, rather He would show me the right path, I know I can ask for guidance.
