We come across such good sayings by our own members, I thought why shouldn't we try to chronicle them in one single thread? So... 0001. Brother Maripat on Kufr: "To Respect Kufr is Kufr" 0002. Sister Idil_ : "The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe" 0003. Brother GenN on people trying to act smart: "You're not deep, you're not an intellectual, you're not an artist, you're not a critic, you're not a poet... You just have Internet access." 0004. Maulana Abu Hajira on men trying to please women: "Instead of pleasing the beauties..lets focus on pleasing The One who made those beauties..." 0005. Sister Aram's perspective on YES men: "from a ladies point of view it is difficult to respect a man who always agrees with you especially if you can be forced by a lady to accept your family is bad, she treats you badly because you allow her to do so" 0006. Brother abulayl on mothers: "mothers are made out of emotions and not facts" To be continued...if you want to post, start with the next number in the series. Do remember this is not going to be so lovey dovey all the time, so watch what you say on the forum |

0017. Brother iSoK on the Qur'an:
In my case the Quran acted like a mirror, the Book showed me who I really was and I was reluctant to admit it. 0018. Brother At Tayyib on the Qur'an and atheism: If one turns away from the Quran, then there is a high probality to turn into an ape minded atheist. 0019. Brother Maripat when asked why Indians tend to stare at people: We like curiosities. We can not really believe that homo sapiens can be that colourless. |

Gem of a thread...jazaakAllahu khaira bro Pluto,
0020. I am sure Maripat sir will be hugely quoted, inshAllah: Gir pade (We feel down) Gir kar uthe (We got up) Uth kar chale (We walked away). Repeat as many times as you have to. That is the life of a Muslim. I shall tell you an event that I personally experienced. Because of a certain event I lost all the gains of a struggle of many days. I abstractly and obliquely told this to a person who is a pious person. I did not have the courage to tell him directly. He coolly told me that incidents in our life do not wash out our hard work of days - they wash out hard works of weeks and months. So welcome to the company of the faulty people. It has a personal connection to me, I loved it! |

0024. Brother amr123 on shortness of dunya:
Imam Ghazali tells a story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion. As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up. The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well. The man’s heart was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the snake and the two mice chewing at the rope. Imam Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white mouse were like the day and night which is always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey was like this dunya and with its sweetness makes us forget the purpose of our life and the reality of death. |
