| Funny isn't it??? Funny how $10 looks so big when we take it to masjid and so small when we take it to the store. Funny how big an hour serving God looks and how small 60 mintues are when spent playing golf, fishing or playing soccer. Funny how laborious it is to read a juzz in the Quran and how easy it is to read - 2-300 pages of a best selling novel. Funny how we believe what newspapers say but question what the Quran says. Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray and don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk to a friend. Funny how we need 2-3 weeks to fit an islamic event into our schedule, but can adjust it for a social event at the last moment. Funny isn't it? Music : A Muslim's View (by: Ash Shura) The language of frogs, birds and bees, Or dolphins, crickets, the bristling of trees Are nothing but praise to Allah. But us we choose music to soothe ourselves, And leave the Quran stocked on the shelves. Without music, the devil will still whisper, As he promised to bring humans to hellfire, But with music, he will be much stronger, And humans will stray furhter and further. He sings and whispers, he tells many lies, And blurs our path to Paradise Beautiful lyrics are definitely soothing, Without the guitar and drums banging, Without the shrieking of a human voice, And without the sounds of electronic noise. How many songs tell us to pray? Or do good, each and every day? Most of them are but to lead us astray. Dramas, movies, Hollywood, COOL!!! But those who follow are ignorant fools. To waste our time looking at lies, It's definitely not the choice for the wise. The Quran was sent with variuos laws, To remind humans to correst their flaws. The devil, nay, you shall never follow, Cos his tricks are abound, to those who know. The Prophet's life was one so great, For all of mankind to emulate, Still why we stray I do not know, Too much of Prince, or Sheryl Crow??? Some music is good, some make you fall, But why need them at all? Why listen to something than can destroy, When the music of Paradise we shall enjoy Heaven and Hell is a choice we make, But why choose the wrong path to take? For those in doubt in which to choose, Islam is the choice, you will not lose. Philosopher, no, I may not be, But the meaning of life, i always try to see. What I say, is what I be, And Allah is Judge not you or me. |
| SMILE!!! She smiled at a sorrowful stranger. The smile seemed to make him feel better. He remembered past kindness of a friend And wrote him a thank you letter. The friend was so pleased with the thank you That he left a large tip after lunch. The waitress, surprised by the size of the tip, Gave part to a man on the street. The man on the street was grateful; For two days he'd had nothing to eat. After he finished his dinner, He left for his small dingy room. He didn't know at that moment that he might be facing his doom. On the way he picked up a shivering puppy And took him home to get warm. The puppy was very grateful To be in out of the storm. That night the house caught on fire. The puppy barked the alarm. He barked till he woke the whole household And saved everybody from harm. One of the boys that he rescued Grew up to be President. All this because of a simple smile That hadn't cost a cent. ...and THAT is the power of a smile! So smile away :) The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "Every good deed is sadaqah (charity). To meet your brother with a smiling face and to pour out from your bucket into his container are Sadaqah. |
