Behind the Tears of Gus Baha, Revealing the Reasons Why He Often Cries

Kapanlagi.com - Behind the smiles and jokes that often invite laughter from the congregation, there lies a profound side of Gus Baha, the charismatic cleric from Rembang, which is rarely known by many. It turns out that behind his vast knowledge, Gus Baha often sheds tears in solitude.

The tears of KH Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim are not due to worldly issues, but arise from deep contemplation about the relationship between humans and the Creator. In one of the study gatherings, Gus Baha expressed how often he cries when reflecting on the greatness of Allah, who continually offers love, even though He is often forgotten by His creations.

He feels deep concern when seeing many people who lack faith in Allah, even though He is the one who created everything. "I often cry for the Lord, even though the Lord does not need us. But sometimes I do cry for Him," he sincerely stated, as summarized by Liputan6.com from a video broadcast on the YouTube channel @khidmatumatchannel9230.

Gus Baha then quoted a verse from the Qur'an that describes how Allah questions the attitude of humans who do not believe in Him, even though it is clear that He is the Creator. This story invites us to reflect on our relationship with God and realize how precious His presence is in our lives.

1. Why Do We Trust Our Neighbors, but Not God?

In an inspiring lecture, Gus Baha revealed a striking verse: "Nahnu khalaqnaakum falaw laa tusaddiquun," which means, "We have created you, why do you not believe (in the Day of Resurrection)?"

In his characteristic tone, Gus Baha criticized humans who trust fellow creatures more than the Creator. "You trust your neighbor, you trust your friends, you trust other people.

But I, who created you, why do you not trust me?" he said, illustrating the irony that we often surrender everything to our partners or friends, yet forget to submit to Allah who has created us.

With a bitter tone, he added, "You can submit to your spouse, you can submit to your friends. But I am the Lord, why have you never submitted to me?" This awareness moved him to tears, not out of sadness, but as a form of respect and realization of our unworthiness before Allah, the Most Perfect.

Gus Baha's tears are not a sign of weakness, but rather a profound spiritual expression, illustrating how important it is to surrender to the Creator.

2. The Importance of Tawakkul

In Islam, tears that flow out of love for Allah reflect a sincere softness of heart. The Prophet Muhammad, known for his gentle heart, often shed tears in his prayers.

Gus Baha invites Muslims to reflect on the profound meanings of the holy verses and to build a strong belief in Allah in every step of life.

He emphasizes the importance of tawakkul, surrendering all affairs to Allah while still making efforts as His creations. "Your affairs are with Me, do not entrust them to creatures," he asserts, reminding us not to forget the reality that everything originates from and will return to Him.

With a flowing and easily understandable style, Gus Baha's lectures, which often go viral, not only touch the heart but also awaken our awareness of the importance of a closer relationship with the Creator.

Belief and surrender to Allah, according to Gus Baha, will bring meaning and tranquility to our lives.
