SIRI YA BALAA:
Bin Adam hana pahala ambapo hupata utakaso wa moyo kama
anapofikwa na balaa. Mfano ambao ameuelezea Mnyezi Mungu
mwenyewe ndani ya Qur an hakuna kama ule anapotokea mtu kuwamo
ndani ya chombo baharini na ghafla ikaanza mchafuko wa hali ya hewa.
Dharuba toka kila upande, mawimbi mazito na makubwa kama mlima
hakuna nchi yeyote karibuni bali ni bahari pana tu, ambayo mwisho wa
mandhari yake mtu kila upande ni ile ya maji kukamatana na mawingu
tu. Mandhari hiyo lau tofauti ni ndogo na ile ya siifu (khasf: yaani:
“ Quick sends” ), ambaye anayetumbukia ndani yake hukiona kifo ni
chenye kumvaa bila ubishi wowote, lakini mtu hujiona kabisa anakufa
na kukata tamaa ya kunusurika kama aliyoipitia Edmond Dause.
Alisema:
“The angry waves and the sight of dangerous
rocks told me that death was near. and the
thought of death made me afraid. I used all my
powers as a man and as a sea man to ascape.
But I did so because I was happy, because I
didn`t coated death, and because I didn`t
wish that I, a living thing made by the service
of God, should became food for the birds and
beasts of the sea……..”.
“mawimbi ya ghadhabu na mandhari ya majabali ya
hatari yaliniambia kuwa kifo kilikuwa kimekaribia, na
mawazo ya kifo yalifanza niogope. Nilitumia uwezo
wangu wote kama mwanamme na baharia hasa, ili
kuikwepa ajali hiyo. Lakini nilifanya hivyo kwa sababu
nilikuwa na furaha; kwa sababu sikuwa nimefunikwa na
kifo. Na kwa sababu sikutegemea kuwa mimi kiumbe
chenye uhai uliotengenezwa kwa huduma yake Mnyezi
Mungu, nije kuwa chakula cha ndege na wanyama wa
baharini…“
