sacrifice. and not the kind where you kill an animal.

I can't for the life of me fathom the idea of sacrifice for a spouce or someone you love. granted i've never fallen in love so maybe i don't know what it's like. probably the only sacrifice i know of on a big scale is my sacrifice for God and even then i gotta admit i'm not doing such a great job.
It really mistfies me, how people would do it so willingly too. I know when my parents ask me to do something i'll do it but i might not be too happy about it. I'll force myself to do it because well it's my parents asking me. or maybe i'm just a selfish person.

I think...

I think...

I hate that word. well not the word itself but i hate when it goes something like this.

" I really don't think God would care if i pray or not"
" In my opinion, I don't think Hijab is obligatory or anything"
" I think God would care less if i fasted or not, he has better things to do"

you think?

so really whats the point of following a religion of people keep making up their own rules for it, and instead of just guessing wouldn't it be smarter to read the Qur'an and see.

World, it really pisses me off to see people doing things like that, i understand that some people might not feel ready to take on some of the rules that are required, and that's fine.but trying to make excuses and nullify the rules is a totally different matter. If God did not care about whether one wore the hijab or not for example, or if they prayed 5 times a day or not, then they would not be mentioned in the Quran and Ahadith and such, so don't put words in God's mouth ( figuratively of course) :D. Not understanding the Ayah or not being able to find it in the Qur'an doesn't mean its not there either.

I'm not implying for anyone to close of their brains and not think, but i feel that the problem is that maybe people are over thinking it. For example, you go to the Doctor's office, and he says that you have to take a shot. Its logical to ask why you have to do it in order to understand better how you might need it, but you don't go and tell the doctor, (who happens to have a degree in this stuff) " hey doc, i really don't think i need this shot, its gonna hurt." same idea, one should try understanding the reasons behind the things we have to do, but its not exactly up to us to say yes or no. or if someone does decide and do that, hey its your choice, just don't go making up I think and think nots!!

Death is here to stay

Death, the only thing we avoid talking about, yet is the one thing we can be sure will happen to us. why is she talking about death? you ask. Just a couple of days ago one of my best friends friends passed away in a car accident. while i did not know her and have never even seen her my heart went out to her family and i felt a sadness overcome me. we usually associate death with old age and disease but we don't want to think about death coming suddenly and to people in the prime of their life. it just doesn't happen! but it does. i couldn't help wondering what if it was me? did she know that that car ride was going to be the cause of her death? that this was the last she would see of this earth. Did she prepare for her hereafter? was she ready to meet her creator? all these questions wander through my mind, and my heart fills with fear, not necessarily because of the fact that i will someday also die but more of the thought if i had prepared enough in this life to help me in the hereafter. the sudden realization of the meaning of the word " eternity" dawned on me that i almost chocked. An eternity in hell, would i be able to endure an "eternity" of that, no matter how much the phrase " all the cool people hang out in hell" is repeated, won't make a difference of the reality of the situation then. May my friends friend rest in peace, and may God bless her family with patience.
