Diamond

Assalamualaikum. I'll begin with one question. Do you know what is the value of a diamond? I think almost everyone will said that diamond is so valuable that a normal person can't touch it. I will said that they are wrong. Do you know what is it (below)? 
You may not believe it but that is a type of diamond. We call it a bort diamond. And below us there is another type of diamond and we call it the ballas diamond. 
As you now. Our religion islam is equal to what? For time equal to gold, home is heaven,
For Islam, yes that right, is equal to the diamond.
Before I begin. Do you know that Diamond is been formed from a carbon. A very black element that can can be tranform into a grafite. The weird is, how come a black element can be a very precious rock? This is because of the very big pressure hit the carbon and transform it. Do you now that Islam is a very precious gift to us since we were born. It's like, since baby we had been give a very precious rock and that is diamond, the most correct is cullinam (picture below). Since we are on the Earth, is up to us to protect it, clean it because in Akhirat, we must 'show to Allah again our diamond how much we care for it'. If not your diamond will become the bort diamond or carbonado diamond.
For exemple, you be given a present that is the most precious to you and you really like it eventhough you not know it very much. At least you will thanks to the person who give you the present, always keep it in shape and not make it dirty or detroy it. Same to islam, since we were born, Allah had give us islam as a precious present to us. To prove that we take care of islam, we pray to Him, do'a to Him, read Qoran. By doing that, our diamond will still be a cullinam.  But if not,
Our diamond (cullinam) will be transform to a bort diamond or a carbonado. A diamond that is less value than cullinam. Carbonado is a black diamond (picture above) that is not beautiful because there is present of carbon inside it and bort diamond is a not well-formed diamond, mean that a diamond mix with carbon. In addition, the diamond can be easily transformed to carbon because of the different pressure. to ensure that the diamond is in well formed, we must take good care of it. So that why we must take good care of Islam and not let it be a bort diamond. prayer, doa, zikir is same as we polish our cullinam. So don't stop polishing our precious rock. 
Who may know, maybe our diamond is like this right now (above), this is a ballas diamond, It's same to cullinam but not to precious. To make it precious again. Let us polish by praying, doa, zikir and read the qoran. InsyaAllah. Our diamond can be a culllinam.
