Trying to find the meaning of contemplation, Musafir found the explanation is the action of looking thoughtfully at something for a long time. Many say that in a new year (like this 2017), we need to make resolutions to have a better life or achieving some goals coloring this life more beautiful. Although Musafir think that this is good but still not enough. Before any of resolutions, we need to looking thoughtfully of ourselves.
Believe me, it is very difficult to know ourselves from our perspective. It is not as easy as to find what food do we want to eat this afternoon or what color of outfit we would like to wear. The existence of ourselves is blur - not clear. Our consciousness often not sharp enough to go into our heart. Distorted of many things that deafen our ear to hear our own inner voice. We can say that we do not know ourselves at all. We think we are good but the reality is not so. We think we care but actually there is a motivation of selfishness hiding in our heart. If we really honest, there is nothing good in us.
Until we shout beg mercy to our Creator, to renew us. To help us, know Him and to know ourselves from His sight. As long as we have not met with our Creator personally yet, all our efforts even contemplation done is in vain.
