muslim sis Posted May 16, 2003 Assalamu Alaikum. Something to think about... -Funny how a $20 bill looks so big when you take it to Mosque, but so small when you take it to the market. -Funny how long it takes to do Zikr for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball. -Funny how long a couple of hours spent at Mosque are, but how short they are when watching a movie. -Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend. -Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a "Tarahvi" during Ramadhan is longer than the regular time. -Funny how hard it is to read a Para in the Quran, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel. -Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back row at mosque so that scramble out. -Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a Mosque event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment. -Funny how hard it is for people learn a simple Preaching well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip. -Funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but question what the Quran says. -Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or do anything. -Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. FUNNY, ISN'T IT? Are you laughing? Are you thinking? :rolleyes: Spread the Word and give thanks to Allah for He is Good & Mercifull! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muslim sis Posted May 20, 2003 Asalaama alaykum wrhmtullahi w. baaraka allaahu fiikum bro and sist's in Islam As we know allah w'll ask us the time and where we wasted... Knowing the importance of Islamic knowledge, it is imperative that we must spend time acquiring it. We must remember that one of the characteristics of a believer is love for the search of knowledge.

Complex Mind Posted May 27, 2003 Assalamu Alaikum, Let truth be told. Subhan'Allah. We're here today, gone tomorrow. Deadly: Religion and culture are two beautiful things. But to respect culture takes religion. One of the reasons why our country is so down where it is right now is because it's citizens failed to realize the line between culture and religion. You can have your culture, as long as it doesn't fued or clash with the rules and regulations set down by Islam. If the line is crossed unjustfully, you bring upon yourself the wrath of ALLAH (swt). That's all for now. Jazzak'Allahu khayran to the sister that started this post. As ALLAH (Swt) says in His Book" "Verily, a reminder benefits the believer."
