The story goes, from the Pope's closest aide that moments before he died the last thing he did was look up to the window of the his apartment, into the night sky, made the sign of the cross, as if blessing his people one last time, and said "Amen", as if in realisation that his work on Earth was done, and then took his last breathe.
What a moving moment, just imagining is amazing, its almost such a perfect moment, that one cannot help but feel that he were watching a movie.
Even though I'm not a catholic, or Christian for that matter, i was quite saddened by the Pope's passing, and my heart goes out to his faithful. As i was watching the reports on CNN yesterdae nite, it really dawned on me how hard he tried to cure this world, which is so full of hatred, poisoned by the desires of men. I think when you see a man and how hard he tried to make this world a better place for all, it doesnt matter of what race, creed or religion he is, cos he deserves everyone's respect.
In the days of his passing, it dawned upon me that he Muslim world needed somebody like him, somebody to lead us and show us Allah's way. We are so full of folly all of us. Suicide bombers, terorists, and closer to home drug addicts, rioters, prostitutes.....all born muslims but....sigh.
It really led me to think that I have to do something about it myself, well I'm not the holiest of guys, but id rather act upon something instead of just preaching about it. The past few days has really opened my eyes to the fact that the Muslim world is slipping deeper and deeper into trouble, we need a saviour.
And we have one in Allah.
If you're a muslim or anybody else for that matter reading this, go back to your roots, go back to your books, and stay true to yourself, no matter how shitty things get, dont stray off the path.
In the meantime, the world mourns.
RESPECT.
