There is a story of a shepherd boy. Every day while grazing his cattle, he intoned his heart expression to Allah SWT. He 'speaks' to the Creator of the Universe. He murmured, calling out his heart.
"Where are you, that I may sew your clothes, repair your mattress, and prepare your bed? Where are you, that I may comb your hair and kiss your feet? Where are you, that I may shine your shoes and bring you milk to drink? "
When he mumbled so, Moses passed by and asked who the shepherd was talking to.
The Shepherd replied, "With Him who created us. With Him who is the Lord who rules day and night, Earth and sky. "
Hearing the answer, Moses was angry, "How dare you talk to God like that! What you are saying is disbelief. You have to clog your mouth with cotton so you can control your tongue. Or at least, the person who heard you did not become angry and offended by your words that have poisoned the entire sky. You have to stop talking like that right now because God will punish the whole earth because of your sins! "
The shepherd was very frightened, especially when he finally learned that the one he was talking to was a Prophet.
With tears streaming down his cheeks, he listened to Moses who kept saying, "Is God an ordinary human that He should wear shoes and footwear? Is God a child who needs milk to grow up? Of course not. God is perfect in Himself. God does not need anyone. By speaking to God just as you have done, you have not only humbled yourself, but you also humbled the whole creation of God. You are none other than a blasphemer. Come on, go and apologize, if you still have a healthy brain! "
In short, then the shepherd went away, while Moses also went on his way to the nearest town. However, suddenly, Allah the Almighty rebuked him.
"Why are you standing between us and our faithful lover? Why do you separate lovers from their beloved ones? We have sent you so that you can combine lovers with their lovers, not separate the bonds between them. "
The Lord said, "We have not created the world so that We may benefit from it. All beings are created for the sake of the creature itself. We do not need praise or flattery. We do not need worship or devotion. Those who worship that take advantage of the worship they do. Remember, that in love, words are just outer wrappings that have no meaning whatsoever. We do not pay attention to the beauty of words or composition of sentences. What We Noticed was the deepest depths of the person. That is how We know the sincerity of our Beings even though their words are not beautiful words. For those who are burned with the fire of love, words have no meaning. "
