As someone who created the
whole universe, including humans, (my) God is pretty insecure.
In my religion, Islam, it
is said that at first God asked us to pray 50 times a day. Again, in the range
of 24 hours, God asked us to pray FIFTY times. Can you see how insecure God is?
God is more insecure than
my husband. Although having a long distance relationship (kind of the same
relationship that I have with God), he does not ask me to call him 50 times a
day.
Luckily, Prophet Moses made
Prophet Muhammad to ask for remission, thus Muslims only have to pray 5 times a
day. Besides that, you still have to dzikr, read Koran, go to Mecca
(pilgrimage), and everything.
Are you familiar with a song
titled “Jika Surga dan Neraka Tak Pernah
Ada”? It is a very nice song by Chrisye.
Jika surga dan neraka tak pernah ada,
masihkah kau bersujud kepada-Nya?
Jika surga dan neraka tak pernah ada,
masihkah kau menyebut nama-Nya?
The song asks us whether we
will still pray to God, if there is no heaven nor hell; whether we will still
remember God in our lives. The answer to that is most probably a no. A hell no
(pun intended).
So, yeah, maybe God feels
lonely up there so that God creates heaven and hell to make sure that we will
pray - that we will always remember God in every single moment in our days. So
insecure.
