Something to Think About

a.. Funny how a $100 "looks" so big when taken to a mosque,

but so small when taken to the mall.

b.. Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour, but

how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of football.

c.. Funny how long a couple of hours spent at the mosque

seem, but how short they are when watching a movie.

d.. Funny how people can't think of Anything to say when

they pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk

about to a friend.

e.. Funny how people get thrilled when a baseball game goes

into extra innings, but complain when a khutba is longer than the

regular time.

f.. Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the Qur'aan,

but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.

g.. Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game

or concert, but scramble to sit in the back of a mosque.

h.. Funny how people need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to

fit a Muslim event into their schedule, but can adjust their

schedule for other events at the last moment.

i.. Funny how hard it is for people to learn the simple

knowledge, well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the

same people to understand and repeat gossip.

j.. Funny how people believe what the newspaper says, but

question what the Qur'aan says.

k.. Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they

do not have to believe, think, say or do anything.

l.. Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through

e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending

messages regarding Allah, people think twice about sharing

Assalamu alaikum,

That is so very true.  Nicely put sr. Khathija.  We all need more reminders like these.  Jazaki Allahu khairan.

Wassalam
